PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' last night, several petitions were presented.
On one against the Municipal Corporation Bill a discussion
was raised. Eventually it was arranged that Counsel address
the House in support of the Petitioners' views to-morrow and
the following day. The Bill was read a2d time.
In the Comm°Ns', the Carlow Election Committee was
ballotted for. The amendments of the Lords to the Mer-
chant Seamen's Registration Bill were agreed to. The Re-
port of the Committee on the motion to admit Ladies to hear
the debates was brought up. A Welch petition against the
Church of Ireland Bill was presented. Mr. BUCKINGHAM
proposed that a Committee should be appointed to ascertain
the seaworthiness of ships before they were insured. In re-
ference to Mail Coach Contracts, Mr. LABOUCHERE said that
a thorough change in the system was in contemplation, and that
the time for receiving tenders for conveying the mail would
not be enlarged. In reply to a question respecting the Bond-
ing Warehouses system, Mr. P. TIIOMPSON said, that before
any change in it was proposed, it was very desirable to learn
the opinions of those who would be affected by it. The sub-
ject of the recent murder by the Carlists of several sailors
serving under the British flag was introduced by Capt. BOLDER°,
who, at the suggestion of Lord JoizN RUSSELL, consented,
before proceeding farther, to wait until to-day, when the
Government will be enabled to afford authentic information on
a transaction which appears to have been as sanguinary and
unprovoked as insulting to the British flag. On inquiry by
Captain PECIIELL, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he had
no objection to introduce a clause into the Ecclesiastical
Courts' Bill, to make it compulsory on two Magistrates to de-
termine all suits for tithes under 10/.—provided no difficult
question of law was involved therein. The second reading of
the Sheriffs' Declaration Bill was postponed till this day.
The Report of the Hull Election Committee, declaring the
sitting Member, Colonel THOMPSON, to be duly elected, was
brought up. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in answer to a question
from the Marquis of CHANDOS, said that it was not unlikely
that the Budget would be brought forward on Monday next.
On the motion of Mr. MAXWELL, for leave to bring in a Bill
for the better protection of the Artisans of Great Britain and
Ireland employed in weaving by Hand-loom, an interesting
discussion arose. It was generally admitted that the principle
of the motion was bad, and on this ground it was resisted.
Mr. P. THOMPSON said it was not that he underrated the ex-
tent of suffering, but because he conceived it advisable to get
rid, as soon as possible, of a gross delusion which prevailed
upon this subject, that he opposed a Bill of Inquiry that could
only raise delusive expectations. Mr. CLAY also, and Dr.
BOWRING, with other Members, were against the proposition.
On a division, it was negatived by a majority of 88. Mr.
MACKINNON'S motion for a Select Committee, to consolidate
Turnpike Trusts, and to raise some other revenue for the roads
than by toll, was withdrawn. The CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the consolidation
of three offices in Chelsea Hospital. Mr. HUME moved for
returns connected with the office of Faculties and the Accumu-
lated Fund of Scotland. Lord J. RUSSELL said he should
move the Order of the Day on the Irish Church Bill first,
this day.

CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lords Commissioners ( Sir LANCELOT SHADWELL and
Mr. Justice BOSANQUET) sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall, and pro-
ceeded with bankrupt petitions. Their Lordships were occu-
pied the whole morning with the part heard case of King v.
Seeven, which had not concluded when we left.
In the course of the morning sittings, the Vice-Chancellor
stated that he had received a letter from the Master of the
Rolls, stating that it would be impossible for him to finish the
hearing of petitions and short causes to-day. The consequence
was, that instead of sitting in his own Court, he must sit as
Lord Commissioner to-morrow.
Mr. WAKEFIELD was afraid that, the suitors in the Vice-
Chancellor's Court would feel greatly dissatisfied that their
motions and petitions should be delayed being beard in order
to enable the Rolls to dispose of its papers.
Sir L. SHADWELL said that he should consider whether he
would not sit some time longer in his own Court, to make up
the time that had been lost there, in consequence of his sitting
as Lord Commissioner. The time now fixed for the rising of
the Court for the long vacation was the 13th of next month,
and he would consider whether he should sit a week longer
than that, or a week earlier than the time appointed for the
sitting of the Court in November.
Mr. WAKEFIELD trusted the Court would give the Bar the
whole of September and October.

Sir L. Si-mowELL would consider what would be best to
be done.
