AMENDMENT.

Lord STANLEY gave notice that on Monday, on the
motion of the right hon. gentleman opposite, with respect
to Irish Church Temporalities, he should move as an
amendment,—That, while the house admitted that
considerable modifications might bo made in thos.3
temporalities of the Irish Church after due inquiry, that
the house is of opinion all questions respecting the die-
establishment of that Church ought to be reserved for
the new Parliament. (Loud cheers from the Government
side of the house.)

Mr. GLADSTONE said, in order that there might In
no misapprehension in the matter, he had to ask the noble
lord whether the amendment would be brought forward
after the house went into committee, or on the motion
that the house resolve itself into coininittea.

Lord STANLEY, in reply, said—On the motion tha
,he house resolve itself into committee. (Lou I choors.)
SIR MORTON PETO AND TtlE REPUESENTA-

TION OF BRISTOL.

Mr. NEVILLE-GRENVILLE asked the hon. member
for Cambridge whether he intended to bring before the
notice of the houao a petition presented by him, from
nearly 7,000 inhabitants of the city and county of Bristol,
praying the house to declare one of the seats vacant, and
for the issue of a new writ ?
_ _ _

Mr. POWELL said ho did not intend to propose that
the petition should bo referred to a committee, because ho
found that any member of that house who had been proved
to be a bankrupt, occupied his seat, and voted was amen-
able to a statute provided for by the realm and the
established usage of Parliament.
BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY.
Mr. HORSMA.N asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government alone,
or in concert with the Government of the United States,
had made or intended to make any endeavour to bring
about a settlement of the war between Brazil and its allies
and the State of Paraguay?
Lord STANLEY said• he regretted the continuance of
the war that still continued between Brazil and its
allies on the one side, and Paraguay on the
other; because it could not but be productive of
the most disastrous results to those taking part
in or those affected by it. He doubted if any good would
result in an offer of mediation, especially so when it had not
been asked for by either side. But if desired by either side,
and there was a prospect of success, the Government
of this country would be quite ready to do all in its power
to bring the hostilities to a close. They would be quite
prepared to do so singly or in company with any power
that might offer itself for such a purpose.
COMPULSORY PILOTAGE.
On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. CANDLISH moved that an humble address be pre-
sented to her Majesty representing that in the opinion of
the house measures ought to be taken for the early aboli-
tion of comulsory pilotage, with due regard to existing
interests, and for requiring pilotage authorities to examine
and license all competent persons applying to them for the
purpose of qualifying to act as pilots.
Mr. CAVE thought the subject was a very difficult ono,
in addition to which it was the opinion of many that some
power to regulate the system at present in practice should
apply to pilotage. It was a mistake to suppose that the
Trinity House was altogether opposed to the voluntary
system of pilotage, and with respect to the laws with re-
gard to pilots, the amounts to be levied ought to be
♦ery securely guarded, in order to prevent extortionate
charges being made. The law, as it stood, was full of
anomalies.
The motion was withdrawn.

Another discussion took place on the subject of the
treatment of political prisoners, Which was brought for-
ward by Mr. Maguire, who complained of the harsh treat-
ment Messrs. Sullivan and Pigott, convicted of seditious
libel, are undergoing at Richmond Bridewell, in Dublin.
The Earl of MAYO justified this treatment by reference
to the rules of the prison at Oxford, and
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said it
was intended to assimilate the law in this respect between
the two countries.

Some other business was disposed of, and the house
adjourned.
