matters of which the House could have no know

then agreed to.

regulation would be made to prevent railway tray

therefore, for him to trouble the House further.

third time on Monday.
JOINT STOCK COMPANIES' REGISTRA
AND REGULATION BILL.
On the motion of Mr. GLADSTONE,
The House went into Committee on the Joint
Companies' Registration and Regulation Bill
several verbal amendments were agreed to.
On clause 2 being proposed,
Sir DENHAM NORREYS asked if it was the
tion of the Government to extend the Bill to Irela

Mr. GLADSTONE proposed, on the bringing
report, to introduce words extending the mean
Ireland:

Mr. T. B. C. SMITH thought it extremely de'
that the-Bill should be extended to Ireland. Th:
of this extension would be to prevent the forma
bubble companies in that country.
Mr. HA.WES was of opinion that the measure
either be extended to Ireland, or that Irish corn
should be entirely exempted from it. As the cas:
at present those Irish companies which had est•
ments in England would be subject to the opera
this Bill, while those which possessed no such
establishments would be entirely exempt fr
operation.

Sir DENHA II NORREYS hoped that the at
of Irish Members would be drawn to the subject,
would therefore suggest to the Right Hon. Gen
that he should at once state his intentions o
subject.
Mr. GLADSTONE, in accordance with the s
tion of the Hon. Baronet, would at once give noti(
on the bringing up of the report he should move I
section of words extending the Bill to Ireland.
The clause was then agreed to.
Clauses 3 to 5 were agreed to, after a few verb
2 I rations.

Clause 6 was also agreed to, with a few verbal s
rnents ; as was clause 7.
Clauses 8,9, and 10 were agreed to.
Clauses 11, 12; and 13 were agreed to.
Clause 14 was agreed to, with some verbal a
mesas.
Clauses 15 to 18. were agreed to.
Clause 19 was agreed to, with a few verbal s
ruents, as were also clauses 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.

_ ______ ..........
The returns for the present week show a fair Overage
arrival of English Wheat, viz. 5,660 quarters, in, for the
most part, excellent condition. The number of samples was
good, while, the demand was in a very sluggish at e, and
Monday's reduced rates were barely supported. only a mo-
derate quantity of free Foreign Wheat was brought rward,
yet that article was a mere drug, and might have ben pur-
chased on somewhat ,easier terms. In Corn, uncle lock,
nothing done. A good many samples of oreign Barley
were offering; but they were quite neglected. T e Malt
trade was very dultat a decline of ls per quarter. 0 ing to
the large arrivals of Irish Oats, the Oat trade was Wavy at
an abatement of Eis 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour,
exceedingly.dull. .
