In the LORDS' on Tuesday, several petitions for and against
the Municipal Reform Bill were presented ; the former pre-
onderated. A petition from Ireland in favour of Poor Lae s
for
Bisho
that country was presented by the Duke of RICHMOND.
p of LONDON presented a petition, the object of which
was to prevent beer being drunk on the premises of that class
of retailers who sell beer only, and not spirits also. The
Larceny Act (Ireland) Amendment Bill, and the Newspaper
foreign Postage Bill, were passed. A conference between
the two Houses, on the subject of some amendments made to
the Bognor Lighting and Watching Bill, was deferred till to-
-111"row. On finding Lord MELBOURNE was determined to
move that the House go into Committee on the Municipal
Bill this day, his Grace of NEV CASTLE said that he should
then bring forward the proposition of which he had already
given notice, and take the sense of the House on it. The
Polls at Election Bill was read a second time. The Sheriffs'
Oath Bill was ordered to be read a third time. The Earl of
CLANRICARDK'S motion for the second reading of the Roman
Catholic Marriages Bill was lost on a division. The speakers
against the liberal proposition were Lords CARBERRY, LIME-
RICK, WICKLOW, and FARNHANI, the Bishop of LONDON, and
the Bishop of EXETER. Lord BROUGHAM expressed his asto-
nishment at the ignorance which the Bishop Of LONDON be-
trayed in the discussion : that other Noble Lords, suffering
under a haziness of understanding, should have fallen into
errors, he could easily understand ; but that the Right Rev.
Prelate should be equally uninformed, was truly wonderful.
In the COMMONS' (Morning Sitting), the Public Carriages
(Metropolis) Bill was re-committed. Forty-three clauses were
considered ; the remaining forty-seven are vet to be disposed
of. At the Evening Sitting, it was officially announced that
the Government of Portugal bad given notice of the conclu-
sion of the commercial treaty between that country and Eng-
land, and that a correspondence (which is to be laid before the
House) was now in progress between the two Governments
for a renewal of the treaty. The Ballot question was intro-
duced, on a petition of coe.3l.lerable importance from Maryle-
br'P, prcented by Sir S. WIIALLEY. The House went into
Committee on the Militia Staff. Of the resumed debate on
Mr. Huste's important motion for inquiry respecting Orange
.Lodges, our limits here prescribe us within the bare mention
of its successful termination ; but we beg to call the attention
of our readers to our report of the debate itself, pointing out
for their especial perusal the eloquent speech of Mr. Smite.
The House did not adjourn till three o'clock this morning.

In the Loans' yesterday petitions both against and in favour
of the Municipal Corporations Bill, with a petition for the abo-
litu?r, of tithes in Ireland, and another in favour of the equali-
sation of the Sugar Duties were presented. The Earl of
Nyicxi.ovit then entered into a variety of details connected
.
with the administration of justice in Ireland, and the recent
!flats at the Derry Assizes. A long conversation on the sub-
ject ensued. Among the petitions in favour of Municipal Re-
form were those from the City of London, Lambeth, and Lei-
cester. Certain parts of the latter petition excited the ire
of his Grace of NEWCASTLE, who intimated that no
more of such offensive matter should be read. Lord
Enonanam, however, was not only deaf to the Duke's re-
monstrances, but said that he would read the whole of the peti-
tion, adding, that the House owed the infliction to his Grace.
The petitioners declared that they viewed with disgust and
indignation the several divisions upon the Municipal Corpora-
tions' Bill, because they were not divisions upon the principle
of the Bill, and that such conduct tended to lower and de-
grade their Lordships yet more in the estimation of the
People than they are already. The Bill for licensing music
and dancing in taverns and other houses of entertainment, was
brought from the Commons. Lord 111xLisouicsx, in a manly
and temperate speech moved that the 1-louse resolve itself
into Committee on the Municipal Corporations Bill. The
uFke of NEWCASTLE made a vague and rambling speech.
His Grace gave up (bowing, as he said, to the opinions of
others) the Resolution be before intended to move, and
should substitute an Amendment—That the Bill be commit-
ted that dt.y six months. His Grace took nothing by his
In't'tion. It will be seen that no other opposition was offered,
and that the Bill was committed, and ordered to be re-com-
mitted to-day.
In the COMMONS' several petitions on various subjects were
presented. The Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill, af-
ter some show of opposition, was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed this day. The Prison Regulation
went through a Committee, and was ordered to be re-
Port ed this day. The Irish Church Bill was read a third time
and passed. The Slave Compensation (15,000,0000 Bill
Passed through a Committee. The Sale of Bread Bill was
read a third time and passed. The Imprisonment for Debt
Abolition Bill was forwarded a stage, and is to be further con-
sidered to-day. Leave was given to bring in a Bill for
amending the laws relative to Factories.
