IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, March 15.

The Earl of SHAFTUSBURY, in the absence of the Lord
Chancellor, took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock.
YORK AND SCARBOROUGH RAILWAY.
Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition, very
numerously signed by the inhabitants of Scarborough,
against the contemplated line of railway from York to
that place. He thought the prayer of this petition
ought to receive the serious attention of their Lordships,
and also that it behoved the Government,' when a line
of railway was proposed to a particular 131 tee, that they
should have a right to determine whether such a line
was required or not. He thought it was not too late
for the Government to take some step in this subject,
and he hoped, therefore, they would not fail to do so.
The Duke of WELLINGTON said he would mention
the subject in the proper quarter, and he had no doubt
that proper inquiry would be made.
THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. MARSH..

Lord CAMPBELL, referring to the case of the Rev.
Mr. Marsh, said the Right Rev. Prelate opposite (the
Bishop of Peterborough) the other night had stated that
the reason he did not interfere in this case was, that the
offence was not committed in his diocese, and conse-
quently he was not empowered by the Church Discipline
Act to interfere. He (Lord Campbell) had referred to
the Act of Parliament, and he discovered that it was
provided, that the Bishop of any diocese in which any
offence had been committed by a clergyman, should have
the power, if he pleased, of referring the case at once
to the Court of Arches..____

The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH thanked the
Noble and Learned Lord for having set him right
upon this subject. The Noble and Learned Lord
had stated truly that he (the Bishop of Peterbo-
rough) had said that he did not interfere in this
case on account of the offence having been committed
out of his diocese. The principal reason, however,
was the question of time. The offence was com-
mitted four years ago. It must be admitted
that he had shown the disposition to investigate the
circumstance. He was informed that the offence was
committed during the period of about a fortnight four
years ago. This was all he had heard, and he cer-
tainly did not feel a disposition to proceed harshly
against Mr. Marsh, considering that at the parsonage
house an excellent mother was living, who was in such
a delicate state of health that any agitation might have
been fatal to her. It must be borne in mind, however,
that at the time he made his inquiries, the facts which
came out on the trial were not revealed to him.
This person was paid 8001 or 900/. a year, while the duty
was discharged by a curate for 1001. per annum. Such
cases as those now before the House were of rare occur-
rence, as was proved by the universal surprise which
they excited in the public mind when they occur ; for if
they were of common occurrence, the universal aston•
ishment expressed at the late scandal would not
have been so strong or so general. He could assure their
Lordships that the prelates of the Established Church of
England took the deepest and most painful interest in all
the matters connected with the purity and discipline of
that Church, and were determined strongly and empha-
tically to denounce everything which should bring
scandal on its members. With respect to the ordination
of the members, he could also state that the greatest
care was taken to examine the character and qualifications
of all the candidates for the clerical office.

Lord LILFORD rose, but from the low and indistinct
tone of voice in which he spoke, and from turning his
back to the Reporters' gallery, we could hardly hear one
word he said. We understood him to say that their
Lordships must be perfectly satisfied with the explana-
tion of the Right Rev, Prelate.
The matter then dropped.
A message from the House of Commons brought up
the Consolidated Fund Bill and the Three-and-•a-Half
per Cents. (1818) Bill, which were read a first time.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 15.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
Mr. F. MACKENZIE moved that it be an instruction
to the Committee of Selection to refer the Edinburgh
and Glasgow ; the Slarnannan ; and Edinburgh, Leith,
and Newhaven Railway Bills to the same Committee.
The Haltwhistle Inclosure, and the Glosset Market
Bills were read a second time.

SOUTH-EASTERN AND HASTINGS RAILWAY,

On the motion that the South-Eastern and Hastings
Railway Bill be read a second time, being put,

_
Mr. HOPE, with much emphasis, rose for the purpose of
moving that it be read that day six months. He thought
the House would but badly consult their own dignity, if
they allowed this Bill to occupy their time any further.
It was concocted fur the purpose of serving the private
interests of some gentlemen at Rye. He, therefore, with-
out hesitation, moved that the Bill be read a second time
that day six months.
Mr. CURTEIS supported the second reading of the
Bill, and contended that all the transactions of the par-
ties supporting it had been open and fair. He would not
go into details, but he called upon the House not to
sanction an imaginary line when two fair competing
lines were prepared to go into Committee, and be
judged by their respective merits.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE requested the Hon. Member
to withdraw the motion ; he thought the House was no
place to enter into the merits of the respective lines.
Mr. DARBY said that where there were two com-
peting lines, the public were likely to suffer between
them. He was willing that the Bill 3houd be discussed
in the Committee.

The amendment was withdrawn, and the Bill was read
a second time.

RIBBLE NAVIGATION.
Mr. WILSON PATTEN brought up the Report o:
the Committee on the Ribble Navigation Bill.
WILLS IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Sir W. HEATIICOTE brought up the Report on the
Wills Improvement Bill.

mittee on the Birmingham Canal Navigation Bill.
Mr. 11. HINI)E presented a petition in favour of the
Hartlepool Dock Bill.
Mr. HARDY presented a petition against the Scar-
borough and Leeds Railway Ban.

DUEILING.
Captain POLHILL gave notice that, on filo motion
of the Hon. Member for Truro (Mr. Turner), to intro-
duce a Bill for the abolition of duelling, he would move
as an amendment, " That it is the opinion of this House
that it is inexpedient to interfere with the existing law,
which is already sufficiently stringent on the subject of
duelling." _

NEW POOR-LAW.
Mr. W. 0. STANLEY gave notice that in Commit-
tee on the New Poor-law Bill, he would move for
instructions to the Poor-law Commissions authorising
the payment of Dissenting. ministers for attending
inmates of their own
SUFFRAGE.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD gate notice that on the earliest
convenient day after Easter, he should move for leave to
bring in a Bill to extend the Parliamentary suffrage, and
to make other provisions for securing the full, fair, and
free representation of the people.
INCLOSURE BILL

Mr. H. BERKELEY ptve notice that in Com,
mittee on the Inclosure Bill he should move to in-
sert a clause to the effect that nothing in the Act
should authorise the inclosure of any common land si-
tuated within ten miles of the cities of London or West-
minster, or within four miles of any town having a po-
pulation of 4,000, or within two miles of any town hav-
ing 2,000 inhabitants ; the number of inhabitants, in
every case, to be ascertained by the last Parliamentary
Census.
Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE brought up the report of
the Committee on Joint-Stock Companies.
The report was received and ordered to be printed.
