HOUSE OF LORDS, July 9.
Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
DEATH OF THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY suggested
that their Lordships should at once adjourn out of re-
spect to the memory of his late Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, whose personal virtues rendered him
universally respected, and whose public duties had all
been performed in the most exemplary manner. He
had not communicated with any person on the subject'
but he moved that this House do now adjourn.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE bore witness to the
truth of all that the Noble Marquis had said in praise of
the late Duke of Cambridge. Ile was exemplary in his
private condact, and in his public conduct he exhibited
a model of fidelity to the interests of the Sovereign and
the country ; but he felt he must object to the pro-
position of the Noble Marquis. Ho opposed
the adjournment, not because it was .unusual, not
because the other House had not adjourned,
bat because, if the motion passed, it would deprive the
House of the opportunity of passing an address of con-
dolence to her Majesty—(Hear, hear)—and not to her
Majesty only, but to another illustrious personage, the
Duchess of Cambridge_ (Hear, hear)—for whom, he
was sure, their Lordships must feel the deepest sym-
pathy.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM agreed entirely in the course
proposed to be adopted by his Noble Friend opposite
(the Marquis of Lansdowne). At the same time he
fully entered into the feeling which had induced his No-
ble Friend at his side (the Marquis of Londonderry) to
mike the motion he had done. He had long been in the
habit of meeting in society the illustrious Prince whose
loss they all deplored ; he had also had on various occa-
sions to transact business with him, and he would say
that no Prince whom this country had ever known had
been a greater ornament to his exalted station.—
(Hear, hear.) He had been most exemplary not only
in his conduct in this country, but in the very difficult
and important station which he had filled as the repre-
sentative of his Sovereign in his foreign dominions.—
(Hear.) He would say of the Duke of Cambridge
what he never had been able to say of any other public
man, he had never heard any human being speak other-
wise than kindly of the Duke of Cambridge.—(He
The ;Marquis of LONDONDERRY suggested that
notice could now be given of the address, and that the
moving it should be deferred until to-morrow.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that it was
not usual to give notice of addresses of condolence, but
to move them at once.
At the suggestion of Lord BROUGHAM, the Mar-
quis of Londonderry withdrew his motion for adjourn-
ment in order to afford the Marquis of Lansdowne an
opportunity of moving the address.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, after what had
passed, and after the tribute which had been paid to the
memory of the illustrious Duke by various members of
their Lordships House, would not detain their Lord-
ships lung in alluding to the great and afflicting loss
which the country had suffered by the death of his Royal
Highness the Deice of Cambridge. He would, there-
fore, at once move that an humble address be
presented to her Majesty, assuring her Majesty of the
deep concern which the House felt for the toss which
her Majesty had sustained in the death of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and at the same time
to assure her Majesty of the deep interest which the
House felt in every event which concerned the welfare,
or happiness, or interest of her Majesty or of her illus-
trious house.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord REDESDALE deeply regretted the absence of
his Noble Friend (Lord Stanley), but during that some
Noble Lord on his side of the House should also bear
his testimony to the great merit of the Duke of Cam-
bridge, and to that regret which they all felt at his loss.
Ho would second the motion.
Lord BROUGHAM was sure that the Noble Lord
must have been absent from the House when he (Lord
Brougham) had spoken, or he would have been aware
that he had expressed the feelings of Noble Lards sitting
on that side of the House, and had stated that he him-
self should second the motion.
The motion was then agreed to nemine contradicente.
ADDRESS TO THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then rose to move
the following resolution: —" That this House con-
doles with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cam-
bridge in the loss which she has sustained in the
death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
and that a Message be sent to her Royal Highness to
signify that resolution, and that the Marquis of Nor-
manby and the Earl of Powis be instructed to attend
her Royal Highness with the same."
Agreed to nemine contradicente.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY would not perse-
vere in his motion for the adjournment of the House.
Motion for the adjournment withdrawn accordingly.
The Earl of MALMESBURY presented petitions
from Ilfracombe and from Honiton in favour of an alte-
ration in the law of parochial settlement'.
Petitions were presented in favour of a Ten Hours'
Factory Bill, by Lord Beaumont from Manchester, and
by tee Bishop of Oxford from Rochdale and various
other places in Lancashire; by Lord Brougham, from
Ashton, and by Lord Beaumont, from Great Yarmouth,
in favour of the County Courts Bill.
Tee report of the Manchester Rectory Bill was
brought up by the Earl of S I'. GERMANS. It was
understood that the Committee had decide] against tee
B 11 on the ground that it should be a public and not a
private measure.
A brief discussion then took place in which the Bishop
of MANCHESTER, the Earl of Powis, and other Noble
Lords took part, and the subject then dropped.,
The Earl of WILTON presented several petition;
from places in Lancashire, praying that the House would
not pass any measure infringing on the principle of the
Ten Hours Act.
The Earl of LONSDALE presented petitions from
Barnstaple and Luton, c3mplainiog of the powers vested
in the Board of Health.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Old-
ham in favour of an efficient Ten Hours Bill; also se-
veral petitions from Aberdeen and other towns in Scot-
land in favour of the Bill for the removal of obstructions
in the corn trade; also a petition from Ashton Keys,
praying-for an extension of the jurisdiction of county
courts; and also a petition, addressed to himself indi-
vidually, from certain persons imprisoned in the Queen's
Prison in Southwark, complaining of the length of time
they had been kept in confinement. The Noble and
Learned Lord stated that those parties need not have
been imprisoned beyond a single day if they had applied
for an interim order. They must be considered either
A 3 having money and having refused to pay the legiti-
mate claims on them, or as having improperly declined
to allow inquiries to be instituted into their properties.
The report on the Benefice; in Plurality Bill was
agreed to with certain amendments.
The Earl of RODEN presented a petition from the
working classes of Birmingham, signed by upwards of
4,000 individuals, against Sunday labour in the Post-
office; also a petition to the same effect from Dublin,
signed by 6,500 persons, among whom were many of the
inset resp-ctable inhabitants of that city ; and also a
vast number of similar petitions from various portions of
the United Kingdom.
On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the
Commons' amendments of the Lords' amendments in the
Drainage and Improvement of Land Advances Bill, were
ugreed to.
PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving the adop-
tion of the report on the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland)
Bill, stated that he did not then mean to move any alte-
ration of the amendments which had been introduced
into the measure by their Lordships in Committee.
He thought it desirable that the amendments should
be printed, and that they should aeterwarda be con-
sidered on the third reading. It was proposed to carry
out the measure so as to have it come into operation
in the summer of 1852. In conclusion, he thought the
most convenient course which their Lordships
could then adopt was to have all the amendments which
had been proposed incorporated with the Bill, and to
have the Bill reprinted, and they could be fully con-
sidered on the third reading of the Bill, which he in-
tended to fix for next Friday. He hoped the report
would then be agreed to.
A long and desultory conversation here ensued on
various details of the Bill, and several suggested ad-
di:ional amendments, in which Lord Redesdale, Earl
Grey, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Monteagle, the
Earl of Glengall, Lord Clarina, &c., took part.
The report was then received, and the third reading
fixed for Friday.
ELECTIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the second
reading of this Bill, which had for its object the afford-
ing greater facilities to the conduct of elections in Ire-
land. One of its main features was the establishment of
additional polling places.
The Earl of ST. GERMANS was understood not to
object to the principle of the Bill, but thought its Par-
liamentary length was more than need be.
The Earl of MOUNTCASIIELL said he would not
oppose the proposed measure, for he thought it would be
rather an improvement than otherwise upon the present
system. There were various amendments which he in-
vtiootAne rfttoetorina
in-
tended introducing into the Bill in Committee. One
was to the effect that any religious person interfering in
in
sivaral clauses, ofdtswilfheriocpmhi
an election, whether in the coercion or restraint of a
introduce.
After poll, should be guilty of a misde-
meanor. There were some other amendments in dotal
Earl of Cremiette2er, Mreoar
aEAsGeLL adndtimthee,
and ordered (as was understood) to be committed on
Thursday next.
LIVERPOOL WATERWORYS BILL.
The Earl of lIARROWBY presortedB
Liverpool complaining that certain ratepayersa petition from
to the
number of 50,000, had prayed to be heard
mittee of their Lordships against the abovoereßadlCom-
had been refused. , bat
The Earl of II ARDWICKE defended the conduct
of the Committee, and said that after an attentive ex-
amination of the facts of the case, they had come to the
conclusion that it was uacrly impossible to receive the
petition in question as that of the ratepayers of Liver-
pool. liLhowergaesave notice
of
his intone

COAL MINES BILL.

The Earl of CARLISLE movel the second reading
of the Inspection of Coal Mines Bill, on the understand-
ing that the discussion on it should be taken on going
into Committee.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought the
operation of the Bill would be mischievous, and would
divide the House against it on a future stage.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
to be committed on Thursday next.
