HOUSE OF LORDS—This EVENING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at five o'clock.

PETITIONS.

A potition was presented from tho Sunday school
teachers of Kensington against the sale of spirituous
liquors on a Sunday.
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

The Earl of LICHFIELD moved the first reading of a
bill fur regulating the liquor traffic.
It was read a first time.
PETITION FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CAM-

meat.

THE BUDGET.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, as at
present advised, he proposed to make his statement the
first Thursday after the Easter recess.

THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. BRIGHT said, as he found ho could not present a
petition ho held in his hand after the hon. member for
Brighton had commenced his speech, he would take the
opportunity of doing so. The petition was from Birming-
ham ; it spoke of the hardships contained in the 7th sec-
lion of the Reform Bill of 1867, and it prayed that that
section, and also that part of it calling for the full payment
of rates, be repealed.

Ou the motion for the 11011S3 going into Committee o;
Supply,

Mr. J. WHITE moved, that in the opinion of the house
it. was expedient that no such Reform Act of 1867 as made
occupiers liable for poor rates instead of owners, in re-
• spect of premises to which the system of compounding
' had been applied, ought to be repealed ; that. the name
of every occupier ought to be put on the rate book, and
that payment of rates by the owner, under the compound-
ing system, ought to be deemed payment by the occupier
and entitle him to the franchise. The hon. member
took the opportunity of entering at some length into the
many hardships such an arrangement entailed upon those
who came within the harsh arrangement. He denied that
the compound householder was such an objectionable per-
son as bad been stated, and when it. was said that. the com-
pounder was extinct is England, he denied that such was
the fact. The compound householder was the creation of
Parliament, and it was only when he was turned out of
doors by his pa-ents that he made any outcry. It Was
unjust to make the offspring responsible for the stupidity
of his parents —(laughter; and hear, hear) -and with all
due difforense to that important personage, Mr. Dudley
Baxter, who felt himself quite competent to give a full
description of "the anotuolous and portentous animal
called a compound householder," he (Mr. White) thought
he was quite as much entitled to his position being
fully recognised by Parliament, as any other class
of her Majesty's subjects. The right honourable
gentleman had stated on a very interesting
occasion that one half of his life, viz., for 31 year; he had
had the honour of a seat in that house, but he begged to
ask him with the greatest respect, whether during that
long period ho had once raised his voice against the
compounders befcre ho came to the conclusion that the
whole system of compounding was most objectionable.
He denied that the compounder was a being desirous of
voting without paying his rates; but ho begged to say
that, in his opinion, the compounder not only paid his '
rates, but he thought he paid more than his fair propor-
tion. From the obhquey that had been thrown on the
compounder, it might be believed that compounding was a
matter altogether unknown to the law, but if any gendeman
would only take the trouble of referring to the statute
book he would find it crowded with such propositions. In
Ireland compounding was by no means unknown, and in
a debate that took place on the income-tax, compounding
there was fully and freely recognised, but the only com-
pounders who were not to be acknowledged- who were to
have the full pound of fleshexacted from them, were his un-
fortunate clients. The Reform Bill had been talked about
as a measure of public good ; but he thought that it was
a bill of pains and penalties for hundreds of thousands.
Was it nothing that 500,000 people were to be
hunted and harassed and deprived of their rights
because they refused to be mulcted according to
law. Ho would not refrain from expressing his disgust
at such an arrangement. In Brighton there were
6,000 compounders, about 2,000 of whom will now have
to pay between 30s. and 40s. per annum if they wished to
continue to vote, whist another class would have to pay
at least 265. per annum in addition to the usual outgoing
if they wished to enjoy the luxury of a vote for a member
of Parliament.

Mr. C. FOSTER seconded the motion.
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

Four thousand tons of Cheshire salt, for agricul-
tural purposes, pass over the South-Western lines during
the year. It is curious that the Isle of Wight, although
a small island and surrounded by the sea, consumes a 6
much Droitwich salt as inland districts of the same size.
Salt derived from sea water is considered superior fol
agricultural purposes to rock salt.

ANOTIIER SUICIDE AT BRIGHTON.--011 Tuesday
evening an inquest was held at Brighton on the My of
Grorge Solinger, a tailor, aged 38. Deceased had been in
the habit of drinking to excess, and on Tuesday moraing
he went into a tap-room, where several men wele converp-
fug about the suicide of Mr. Dalrymple. Deceased joined
in the conversation, and said he must be a strong-minded
man who would dare blow out his brains. In a second or
two afterwards he put a loaded pistol to his face and fired
it, the explosion carrying away nearly the whole top of hi:
skull, and scattering particles of his brain and bits of flesh
over the bystanders. Either the ball or a piece of tilt
skull (the latter is thought the more likely) hit one Inal.
close to deceased on the tomplo with such force as to taust
blood to flow freely. A. verdict of " Temporary insanity',
Wag returned. _
