PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS last night several petitions were presented.
The resignation of the office of Clerk-Assistant by the Earl
of DEVON (formerly Mr. Courtney) was announced. Lord
MELBOURNE 'gave notice that he should this day move for a
Committee to report on the best mode of dealing with the
vacant office. His Lordship afterwards laid on the table a
Bill founded on the first Report of the Comlnittee on Prison
Discipline. The Bishop of EXETER introduced a petition
against appropriating Church property to other than eccle-
siastical purposes. The Execution of Wills' Bill, and the
Executors' Bill, were read a third time. Some conversation
took place about the Banquetting-house and its contemplated
conversion into a Chapel.
In the CommoNs' numerous Reports on Private Bills were
brou7lit ; and several petitions were presented, amongst
which was one that led to a ,ii62....1>510r. on. the nub taken by
Roman Catholics. The debate on the petition was adjourned.
A new writ for Oldham was ordered. Several petitions on
the subject of the Corporations' Bill were presented. Before
going into Committee, Mr. PRAED brought forward his pro-
posed resolution to preserve the existing corporate rights
for the enjoyment of those who now possessed them.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY supported it. He wished to preserve
inviolate the privileges of freemen. Lord J. RUSSELL resis-
ted the motion. The privileges of freemen, and the rights
of corporate property would be preserved, as far as was consis-
tent with good government, and the paramount rights and
privileges of the people at large. The amendment was even-
tually withdrawn. The House then went into a Committee on
the Bill. On coming to the 4th clause, Lord D. STUART
moved as an amendment, that Parliament, and not the King
in Council, should be invested with the power of adjusting the
boundaries. After considerable discussion, the amendment
was negatived by a majority of 87. Mr. DIVETT moved as
an amendment to a part of the 6th clause, that the payment of
rates for one year give the qualification. The proposition was
negatived on a division by 32 to 97. The further considera-
tion of the 6th clause was then postponed to this day. Sir R.
PEEL did not move the amendment of which he had given no-
tice ; but, at the twelfth hour surprised the House by admit-
ting his intention "to avail himself of some other opportunity
of taking the sense of the House upon it." The House ad-
tourned at half-past two.
