PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Mr. DISRAELI said it would,perhaps, be convenient to
hon. members if the Government could state what public
business they proposed to proceed with next week.
Lord PALMERSTON believed that the estimates would
be laid upon the table on Monday, and would be proceeded
with on Friday. Whether the estimates taken on that day
would be those of the army or navy he could not then say.
SUPPLY.
The report of the committee of supply vas brought up,
and an address was agreed to requesting her Majesty to
direct that the estimates might be laid before the house.
NEWSPAPERS, &c., BILL.
The adjourned debate upon the second reading of this bill
was resumed by
Sir G. C. LEWIS, who'said that ho should make no ob-
jection to the second reading of the measure, but he must
reserve to himself full liberty of discussing its details in
committee. One of its provisions abolished the registration
of the proprietors of newspapers. That registration was
intended for the benefit of persons who might be the sub-
jects of libellous attacks, and he could not consent to its
abolition without further consideration. There were also
two acts propesed-to be repealed by this bill which, in his
opinion, need not be so dealt with. One was an act indem-
nifyiat certain persons against penalties incurred under
previous acts, and the other an act which abolished the
punishment of banishment for a-Second libel. The effect of
repealing that act would be to increase the severity of the
law with regard to this offence, for which he was not aware
that there was any necessity.
The bill was then read a second time.
JURY TRIAL (SCOTLAND) ACT AMENDMENT
BILL.
This bill was read a second time.

JUDGE) BILL.
On the motion of Sir G. C. LEWIS, the adjourned debate

the Act 5 and 6 William IV., cap. 63, relating to weights

The bill was afterwards brought in and read a first time.
