The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

field, and Lincolnshire Railway (Additional Works), Elland

Railway, and Button-upon-Trent Water Bills wero read a
second time.

The West of Fife Mineral Railway and Charleston Rail-
way and Harbour Company's Bill was read a third time
and passed._

- PROMOTION IN THE NAVY.
The Earl of HARDWICKE, in reference to debate of
last evening, said that there was a very useful class of men
in the navy called masters, who deserved consideration be-
fore officers in the mercantile marine. He thought lieute-
nantcies might be offered to them more properly than to
persons in the merchant service.
The Duke of SOMERSET thought it would be advisable
for him to postpone his bill until certain Admiralty regula-
tions relating to it wore on the table of the house.

PRIVATE BILLS.
Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing order 185
be considered in order to its being amended to the follow-
ing effect :—" That no provision authorising any company
to raise money, or to subscribe towards, or to guarantee any
money in the undertaking of another company shall be in-
troduced into any bill which is not brought in by the com-
pany thereby authorised to raise money, or to subscribe, or
to guarantee." The noble lord said, although this altera-
tion was not favourable to Parliamentary agents, none of
them had urged any objection to it.
After a few remarks from the Marquis of CLANRICARDE,
Earl GRANVILLE asked the noble lord (Redesdale) to
postpone his motion, as he thought it desirable to consider
the proposed alteration in order to ascertain that they were
not multiplying standing orders in that house which did
not agree with those of the other house.

The consideration of the motion was postponed.
LEASES, ke., BY INCUMBENTS RESTRICTION

BILL.

On the motion of Lord LYTTELTON, this bill was read
a third time and passed.

SALMON FISHERIES.
The Earl of MALIVIESBURY called the attention of
the house to the report of the recommendations of the com-
missioners upon Ezasland awl VS
The noble lord took tha opportunity of referring, at great
length, to the report in question, and said the steps that
ought to be taken to protect the salmon fisheries were to
pass an act of Parliament declaring a certain period
to be called " a close season," that the transmission of
salmon roe should be considered and dealt with as in the
case of game, and that the exportation of fish during the
time they were unfit fur food should be strictly prohibited.
Their lordships had no conception of the enormous quantities
of unwholesome fish that was exported to France, which,
if it was allowed to continue, would greatly aggravate the
evil complained of. In drawing up the bill containing the
enactments he had mentioned, no private interests would
be infringed.

ment which he made in reference to this bill when git was

pany had declined to take any part in the undertaking,

ALLEGED GRIEVANCES IN THE POST-
OFFICE.
Sir G. BOWYER asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer when the Post-office report would be laid before Par-
liament, and what her Majesty's Government were pre-
pared to do for the redress of grievances in the Post-office ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
there were several papers relating to the subject of the
administration of the Post-office which were under the con-
sideration of the Government. He was not able to give an
answer to the question of the hon. member as to laying any
papers relating to the matter before the house, but he
