IMPERIAL PARLT.ABLENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolamk at
five o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Barnsley Railway, the Manchester Water, the
Mould Gas, and the Speedy Water Bills were read a second
time.

THE TORNADO.

The Marquis of CLANBICARDE asked whether an
answer had been received from the Spanish Government
relative to the Tornado ?

Lord DERBY stated that an answer had been v.ceired,
dated "Madrid, May 2," and it had been referred for con-
sideration to the law officers of th:! Clown.
THE FENIAN CONSPIRACY.

The 31.irquis of CLANRICAIIDE askel whether Vila
Government had taken any step; to obtain correct reports
of evidence given upon the trials for treason and partici-
pation in the Fenian conspiracy, in order that they may
be at the proper time communicated to Parliament,
Ile lad a rcsoiutiou in his hand front the Reform Leage.e,
triticlt had been passed at one of their meetings, that the
ivo.; of the unfortuti.ate Mon now wider sentence o[ :path
should be spared. Oft this point he (the noble m,..rquis)
would say nothing, but ask fur the information he sought
from t lie Government, such information, he believed, being
most desirable.

The E al of DERBY said that he never heard a subject.
handled with such latitude as that of the noble marquis,
and considered such a resolution as that just read as very
ill-timed. He should confine himself to what was asked by
the noble marquis in his three points. Ho considered that
all three would be injurious if carried. With the last,
point he thought that if complied with it would embroa
this country with foreign nations, but with regard to a
correct record of the whole proceedings, that would be
laid before the house.

After a few remarks from Lord CLANRICARDE the
subject dropped.
The house then adjourned.

lIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING,
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
ENLISTMENT IN THE ARMY.

Sir J. PAKINGTON said in consequence of the repre-
sentations of the noble lord the member for North Lanca-
shire, it was not his intention to bring forward the
vote for £500,000 for increase of pay to the
army and militia. It was, however, of the greatest
importance that no unnecessary delay should
take place in submitting the vote to the house. It was
his intention on Monday to ask for leave to introduce a,
bill to limit the time of enlistment in the army, also to
consolidate the law for establishing a reserve force, and
also for the forming of a reserve in the militia to join, the
regular army in case of war.
Colonel NORTH said it was of importance that the
Army Estimates should bo proceeded with as soon as pea_
Bible, as recruiting in the army was nearly at a standstill.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had given notice of hits
intention to move for leave to introduce the bills on Man-
day. They would doubtless be in the hands of members
on Tuesday. He hoped to be enabled to move.
'r HE ROYAL PARKS BILL.

Mr. NEATE gave notice that on the second reading of
the bill for the regulation of the royal parks, he should
move that it was not expedient to proceed with the
subject, limiting it to meetings in the royal parks in the
metropolis.
HACKNEY CABS IN THE PARKS.

Mr. O'BEIRNE asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, as the public had been per-
mitted to drive into Hyde Park in cabs and other public
vehicles plying for hire, he saw any objection to permitting
members of Parliament, when proceeding to the discharge
of their public duties, to drive over Constitution Hill to
the House of Commons ?
Mr. WALPOLE said the question involved two state-
ments. The fact was that no permission had been given
to public cabs to enter Hyde-park and ply for hire. The
regulations remained unaltered on the subject. If the
hon. member founded his question on the fact of the two
cabs that drove into the park on Monday last, he had to
state that they carried messengers to Sir Richard Mayne,
Commissioner of Police. That being so he did not see
any ground for making any alteration in the regulations
at present existing.
Mr. O'BEIRNE gave notice that he should call the at-
tention of the House to the subject when the Civil Service
estimates were under discussion.
THE ROYAL PARK BILL.

Mr. BRIGHT said he did not know whether he was
right in pUtting the question to the right hon. gentleman
(Mr. Walpole)—perhaps he would explain his poSition to
the house —but ho should like to know when this bill wAs
to bo proceeded with.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ample
notice would be given when the measure was to to pro-
ceeded with.
