THE WHITSUNTIDE HOLIDAYS.
The Earl of DERBY said, in accordance with the usual
custom, he should move to-morrow, that the house, at its
rising, adjourn over Whit-Monday and Tuesday, and re-
assemble on Thursday.
THE NATIONAL GALLERY.
The Earl of SHREWSBURY moved for a copy of the
correstondence between the trustees of the National
Gallery and the Council of the Society for the Encou-
ragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, with
reference to the opening of the Vernon and Turner Galleries
of pictures at South Kensington of an evening, and also
for copies of all letters and memorials on the same subject
which may have been received by the said trustees up to
the date of their making the return now moved for.
The Marquis of SALISBURY said he had no objection
to the motion.
Lord OVERSTONE objected to the expense of printing
this correspondence, but as the trustees of the National
Gallery had no objection to the production of the papers,
it was thought desirable they should be produced. With
respect to the opening of the National Gallery of an even-
ing, he thought such a step was not desirable, as there was
no other gallery of the same description open at dark. More-
over, it was thought that the gas and the dust arising
from a crowded room would have a very injurious effect on
many of the pictures.
The Earl of DERBY said there could be no objection to
the production of the papers.
After a short conversation the motion for the production
of the papers was agreed to.
MILITIA COMMISSION.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE asked when the report of
the commission appointed to inquire into the state of the
militia would be produced?
The Marquis of SALISBURY said the commission
would meet for the last the on Monday next, after which
the report would be laid before Parliament at the earliest
possible moment.
The Earl of DERBY said he had been informed that
some judicial business stood for Wednesday next, and he
begged, therefore, to state that he should to-morrow move
the adjournment of the house until Wednesday, and
not Thursday, as he had formerly stated, it being clearly
understood that the house would meet on Wednesday
merely for the transaction of judicial business.
Their lordships then adjourned.
