IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 19.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat-on the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
PETITIONS.

The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition against
the Coal Mines Inspection Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented several petitions
in favour of the Bill.

The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition pray-
ing for the restoration of the Post office delivery on
Sunday.
The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition from
Ayrshire against the authorising marriages with a de-
ceased wife's sister; also a petition in favour of cur •
rency reform.
Lord STANLEY presented a petition from certain
landowners of Lancashire in favour of protection. The
petition was very numerously signed, and he believed
that the signatures were genuine. lie complained that
in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire intimida-
tion had been used to prevent persons from signing this
petition, and that exclusive dealing had been threatened
against those who bad given expression to their opinions.
I❑ one case a milkman had been obliged to declare he had
not signed the petition, or all his customers would have
left him. He did not charge this exclusively against
Free-traders, but he was convinced that those who on
any occasion resorted to intimidation, confessed by so
doing that they were advocates of a losing cause.—
(Hear, hear.) Also a petition from Bamford to the
same effect. _ _ _

Lord BROUGHAM joined with his Noble Friend i❑
deprecating any attempt at intimidation, and as a friend
of free-trade he should say, save me from my friends. He
hoped the exaggeration wits considerable, but a worse
service could not be rendered to a good cause than to
have recourse to intimidation.

Earl GREY, repudiating as he did all attempts
at intimidation, yet when he found that a man de-
rived his living from the sale of milk, the greater number
of whose customers must be among the working classes,
it was proof that the working classes were convinced
that so much fur their benefit had been the repeal of the
corn-laws that they resented any attempt to recur to
them as a personal injury.
The Duke of RICHMOND denounced the conduct of
the Government to the owners of land in not re-imposing
import duties on corn. He presented a petition from
the landowners of Wicklow, complaining that they were
not permitted to grow beetroot or tobacco, and atm-
butiog all the misery and ruin of Ireland to the repeal
of the corn-laws; also from a sergeant of the 64th iegi-
, meat, complaining of the reduction of his pension. He
did not think the petitioner had a very strong claim.
THE UNIVERSITY COMMISSION.

Lord BROUGHAM denied that he had ever changed
his opinion as to the legality of the Municipal Commis-
sion, as had been represented elsewhere, in the debate
on the University Commission. He had given no
opinion as to the legality of the University Commission,
because it might come before him in a judicial capacity.
