PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

1n the Loses', the second Report of the
,Commissioners of
Palilie Instruction for Ireland was presented and ordered to
be printed. A return was ordered "of the number of Bills
brought up from the Commons amended by their Lordships
and finally passed as amended." The Stamps and Assessed
Taxes Bill, and the Fines and Recoveries Bill were passed.
The Tithes Instalments (Ireland) Suspension Bill went
through Committee. A message was then sent to-the Com-
mons, requiring a Conference to represent why their Lord-
ships insisted on several of their amendments to the Municipal
Bill. That Conference was held, and their Lordships reasons
were forwarded to the Commons.
In the COMMONS', several petitions on various subjects were
presented, some of which complained of the extra duty on
spirit licenses. One from a place in Surrey, complaining of an
order issued by the Commissioners of Poor Laws, led to some
discussion. The Conference between the two Houses then
came on. Lord .J. RUSSELL, in a speech which it must be
allowed furnishes a masterly exposition of the whole subject,
after reviewing. in detail the amendments made by the Lords,
proposed that the House should agree to them, " looking for-
-71, as he did, to the future prospects of another Session."
In ith respect to the nomination of justices, his Lordship,
the course of his address, said the clause as now
framed by the other House, placed the Crown in
1; position not altogether decorous. The subjoined
ideclaration was received with vehement cheering •
have no hesitation in saying, that as long as my
colleagues and self continue to be the advisers of the Crown,
send e shall deem it our duty to request of the town council to
up a list of the names of those persons in whom they
IPlace confidence." As to the Lords' second amendment, re-
(,,aaing the original number by one-half, and refusing to adopt
re last number sent up to them, 9,000, "he was not disposed'
higgle for a 1,000 more or less." In another part of his
Pecch he intimated the impossibility of Parliament going on
long, without taking some parts of the measure again into !i con-
deration. In recommending the House to receive the Bill,
be referred to the Parliamentary history of the Test and Cor-
reation Acts, contrasting the course pursued in reference to
Roman Catholic question as confirmatory of the views
e now wished to be adopted. His Lordship also declared, that
what a purely popular, or even an absolute Government, might
easily establish as the law of the land, could not be effected in
our constitution of King, Lords, and Commons. Hence it
appears that the " Constitution" claims the concession of the
Commons, and it is yielded accordingly. Mr. HuMx, at the
conclusion of his speech, said that the best course to be
adopted was for the House to received the Bill. He had
cattle to this determination, under a protest and solemn as-
surance of the necessity there would be of introducing mea-
sures on the very first occasion, to carry through the true
Principles and objects of this Bill ; under a protest, he would
Consent to take the Bill as it was. Mr. BLACEBURNE'S speech
contains a complete vindication of the Municipal Commis-
sioners. 'Mr. T. DUNCOMBE could not agree to the course re-
calumended. In the concessions which had been made with
tview of showing a conciliatory spirit he had concurred ;

cession ought not to go. They had arrived at that point, and

w411,d neral other Hon. Members also concurred in the opinions
"'eh had been pex ressed as to the expediency of adopting
the Bill in its present shape. The question was then put, and
carried without a division. All the Lords' amendmhts were
