PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the Loans, last night, the Duke of RienmoNn brought
up the Report of the Committee on Prison Discipline. The
same Noble Duke moved for a copy of the Treasury Minutes
relative to the Oaths' Abolition Bill.--Ordered. The Sugar
Duties' Bill, the Western Australian Bill, and the Ide of
Man Corn Importation Bill severally went through Committee.
The Duke. of ittcHmoND enquired whether some preventative
remedy might not be devised to cheek the present practice of
removing cases from the Quarter Sessions by certiorari into the
Court of King's Bench. This was frequently done, and the
patties thus escaped heavy recognizances, and defrauded
justice. The Noble Duke's speech will be read with interest.
Lords DENMAN and BROUGHAM concurred in the propriety of
the suggestion, and thought that a remedy could be effected
by,the introduction of a clause into the Bill alluded to, though
they would prefer the introduction of a separate Bill. The
Duke of Menu°No said, that having introduced the subject,
he should leave it in the hands of his Noble and Learned
Friends. A case was mentioned which had been bailed before
the magistrates at 50C1., but on being removed by certiorari,
the bail then taken was only 201., and the consequence was,
the party fled the country.
In the COMMONS, amongst the petitions presented were
some praying for Municipal Reform. Mr. O'CONNELL
presented a petition from several parishes in Ireland, against
Tithes. The same Hon. and Learned Member presented a
petition from Dublin, praying that the measure of Corpora-
tion Reform, now in progress here, might be extended to Ire-
land. Mr. SHAW took exception to much of what had fallen
from the lion. Member for Dublin. He was supported in this
contradictory course by Mr. WALKER and Colonel PERc.EVAL.
Mr. SHIEL inquired if it were the intention of Government to
institute an investigation into the conduct of the Magistrates
for interfering at the Carlow election. Lord MORPETH re-
plied in the affirmative, and added that a complete inquiry
should he set on foot. Sir H. HARDINGE hoped that the con-
duct of the Roman Catholic Clergy at the election would be
inquired into. The same Hon. Member, on Lord JOHN Res-
sELL's bringing up the minutes of evidence taken on the Wol-
verhampton inquiry, made a remark which led the Noble Lord
freely to declare that the conduct of the military at Wolver-
hampton, with a few exceptions, had been marked by forbear-
ance and correct judgment. His Lordship afterwards mewed
an address to his MAJESTY, for a Commission to inquire into
the state of the Church of Scotland—the existing means to
afford religious instruction—and how far they availed to pro-
mote the religious and moral improvement of the people of
Scotland. He considered that a Church Establishment must
be maintained, but the Government would not ask for any ad-
ditional grant of money, except a case for it was made out.
His Lordship's views were adopted. The Ipswich gentleman,
Mr. O'Malley, having produced satisfactory evidence of his
illness, was reprimanded, and then discharged. The House
then went into Committee on the Municipal Reform Bill. On
clause 23 being put, Mr. BuLLER proposed an amendment,
(which was ultimately negatived) to make it compulsory on the
whole Corporate Body to go out annually. Mr. GROTE sup-
ported it, as did .also Mr. WILLIAMS. On clause 24, Mr.
GROTE proposed, but did. not press to a division, that the elec-
tiens should be by Ballot. Another amendment was proposed
and negatived. The clauses up to the 36th inclusive, were
then agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the Bill. The
House adjourned at a quarter past One.
