IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

-

HOUSE OF COMMONS—This DAY.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty-five minutes
past tselve o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Devon and Cornwall Railway Bill (Lords) was
read a second tuna.

BUBLIO BUSINESS.

Mr. GATIIORNE HARDY moved that the public busi-
ness should commence to-morrow at a quarter past four
instead of at half-past four.

NAVAL CHAPLAINS.

Mr. LYKYN asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if
the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty had come to
any decision in regard to the improvement of the organisa-
tion, pay, and position of naval chaplains ; and whether it
it was the intention of the Board of Admiralty to appoint
commissioned Presbyterian and Roman Carbolic chaplains
for the service of her Majesty'. fleet at home and abroad ?
Mr. CORRY said the Board of Admiralty had una-
nimously agreed that the chaplains of the navy had
a perfect right to be placed upon the same footing as
the chaplains of the army. With regard to the second
question, the bon. and learned member must have la-
boured under a mistake in supposing that the Board had
considered the appointment of commissioned Presbyterian
and Roman Catholic cl aplains. What they had been con-
sidering was the advisability of. increasing the sultry of
three Roman Catholic chaplains situated at Sheerness,
Chatham, and Dartmouth.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (METRIC SYSTEM)

BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. J. B. SMITE moved that the order be discharged,
which, after a few remarks from Mr. BERESFORD Hoes,
was agreed to.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES BILL.
On the motion for the continuation of the debate on this

Mr. POWELL combated a large number of the argu-
ments which had been brought forward by the hon. and
learned member for Exeter (Mr Coleridge) on the motion
for the second reading, and contended that if the doors
were once opened there would be great difficulty in keep-
ing the governing body in the kinds of members of the
Church of England.
Mr. BERESFORD HOPE contended that if any altera-
tion were really necessary it could be better settled at the
present time by the Convocation of Oxford and the Se-
nate of Cambridge than it could be by being brought for-
ward in that House.

Mr. Chichester FortoscuP, Mr. Cavendish Bentinek, M .
Mr. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. Leatham, Mr. Newde-
gate, and Mr. Neate, took part in the discussion that fol-
lowed, after which

LONDON BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST
RAILWAY BILL.

that it was highly desirable that such a course should be
parsucd as it would be most advantageous to the public,
