QUARTER SESSIONS.

Mr. lIAWEg said that a Bill respecting the quarter
sessions in cities and boroughs had been brought in by
the Hon. and Learned Member for Worcester (Sir I'.
Wilde). As the was first introduced, the Right llon.
Baronet the Secretary Of State was not prepared to
support it. Since then some alterations had been made
in the Bill ; he now wished to know whether they were
such as the Right lion. Baronet would have wished, and
whether in its present shape the Government was pre-
pared to support the Bill ?
Sir.. J. GRA.ILIM said the alterations that had been
made in the Bill were certainly introduc?d at his (Sir
J. Graham's) request ; but he had received some repre-
sentations from several Recorders on the subject, which
he thought were entitled to further consideration ; he
thought, also, that there was not much necessity for
legislating on the question at all, since the Secretary of
State had powers, under the Municipal Act, to make re-
gulations according to varying circumstances.

Mr. HAWES said the Bill stood fur to-morrow. He
wished to know if it would come on so early. . .

Sir J. GRAHAM said the Government -had no wish
that the Bill should be proceeded with.

POOP-LAWS.

Sir R. PEEL (by command) laid papers relative to
the poor-laws on the table of the House.

EXECUTION OF CRIMINALS IN THE EAST.

Mr. M. MILK ES wished to know from the Right
Hon. Baronet at the head, of the Government, whether
he had any objection to lay on the table of the House
when convenient, the papers respecting the negotiations
between her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople
and the Ottoman Porte, with regard to the execution of
criminals on religious grounds. He understood that
those negotiations had terminated in a manner satisfac-
tory and honourable to all parties.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he was not prepared
to lay all the papers on the subject on the table, as the
publication of them at the present moment might be ob-
jectionable.

A public meeting took place in the Vestry-rooms of St.
Pancras parish on Monday evening, for the purpose of consi-
dering the clauses of the Masters and Servants' Bill ; and
also to urge upon Parliament to abide by their votes already
recorded with respect to the ten hours' clause in the Factories
Bill, proposed by Lord Ashley. The following resolutions
were carried unanimously :—" That the Bill now before Par-
liament to amend the law as relates to Masters and Ser-
vants, was unjust in principle, and wholly subversive of that
which had so long been England's boast—Trial by jury."
And " That this meeting deem ten hours' daily labour quite
sufficient for adult males, and can but feel that any attempt
to inflict more on weak women and little children is subver-
sive of the best principles of humanity, alike unprincipled
and unjust, a sacrifice of domestic duty and domestic comfort
to the shrine of Moloch. We, therefore, call upon the House
of Commons to adopt the ten hours' clause in any Factory
Bill they may pass."

prices were almost nominal. Malting Barley was quite as

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that as a Noble

measure was now absent from London, he would suggest
to his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Cottenham) that

Monday next, when his Nikle and Learned Friend would
probably be present.
Lord COTTENHAM concurred in the postponement.
The further progress of the Bill was accordingly post-
poned till Monday next.

STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES IN IRELAND.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE:Iaid on the table a corrected
list of the appointments of stipendiary magistrates in
Ireland, which contained the appointment of Mr.
O'Brien. 'The reason this gentleman's name was not
inserted in the last list was, that he had not reported
himself as having arrived at the station to which he had
been appointed, and therefore it was considered that
his appointment was not complete.
The Marquis of NORMAN.BY said he understood
that Mr. O'Brien had been lately removed to another
part of the country, and therefore; on'a future out:,
sion he (the Marquis of Normanby) should think it
necessary to make a few observations on the sebject.

FORESTALLING MARKETS.

Lord MONTEAGLE moved the second reading of
the Forestalling, &c., Offences Abolition Bill. The object
of the Bill was to abolish certain almost obsolete statutes
with respect to forestalling markets in Ireland.
The Earl of RADNOR. said that it had been at-
tempted to put these laws in force within the last few
weeks. He held in his hand a circular which had been
issued by Mr. Charles Legreave, Mayor of Winchester,
cautioning persons against forestalling, engrossing, and
regrating markets, and threatening prosecution against
persons committing such offences.
The Bill was then read a second time.
Their Lordships adjourned till Thursday.

been made by those with whom quality has not been so much a con-
sideration as the production of a showy cheap article, which has
generally proved worthless, if not dangerous. This has led
RIPPON and BURTON to engage persons of known ability and
great experience in the manufacture of guns, and they now
solicit sportsmen to inspect their extensive assortment. Mahogany

state of the prison of the Court of Requests in the bo-
rough of Birmingham ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the lion. Gentleman
having been kind enough to give him notice of the ques-
tion he was prepared to give him a reply. He had re-
ceived from the Mayor and Recorder of Birmingham a
report respecting the statement of the prison of the
Court of Requests in that borough, from which it ap-
peared that the prison was in a state which was deroga-
tory to the authorities, and that it was unfit for the re-
ception of debtors. He had, in consequence, directed
an inspector of prisons to proceed to Birmingham.
That inspector had made his report, which entirely con-
firmed the complaints that had been made, and he (Sir
J. Graham) then considered it his duty to inquire who
were the parties who were responsible for the state of
the prison. He was referred to the Commissioners of
the Court of Requests of Birmingham, and he imme-
diately sent them the complaints he had received, re-
quiring them forthwith to remedy the evils complained
of, with an intimation that if they neglected to do so, he
should put the law in force with regard to the prison.
Within the last four days he had received a representa-
tion from the Commissioners, stating that they had
complied with his request, and informing him that the
prison had been visited by the Mayor and Recorder,
who had expressed themselves satisfied with it. He had,
however, sent down the same inspector who had before
reported on it, to ascertain if he concurred with the
Mayor and Recorder, and in the course of to-day or to-
morrow he should receive his report, when he should
ha able to give the Hon. Gentleman every information.
Mr. STANLEY expressed himself satisfied with the
explanation, and believed he should take the most judi-
cious course by leaving the matter in the hands of the
Government.
