IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his E.O It upon the Wcol-
sack at Five o'clock.

The Earl of LANESBOROUGH presented several
petitions against the national system of education in
Ireland.

The Earl of HARROWBY pteEentel several pfti•
tions against the Sale of Beer Act. Also several peti-
tions against Sunday labour in the Pont office.

The Puke of RICHMOND presented a pttition from
Scotland in favour of protection to agriculture, and for
a repeal of the navigation-laws as between Scotland and
England, so as to enable them to bring their produce
cheaply to the London markat.
The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several
petitions against Post-office labour on Sundays.
RAILWAYS ABANDONMENT BILL.

The Earl of GRANVILLE moved the second reading
of the Railways Abandonment Bill. The object of the
Bill was to give the Commissioners of Railways the
power to authorise any railway company to abandon the
construction of any line upon the petition of three-
fifths of the shareholders, instead of forcing
the company to come to Parliament for a
Bill for that purpose as, at present. He hoped their
Lordships would sanction the Bill, as it would save great
expense to the companies, while it would give land-
owners an infinitely better chance of substantiating their
claims before the Commissioners than they at present pos-
sessed of substantiating them before Parliament. There
were nine abandonment Bills at present before Parliament.
If their Lordships would assaat to the second realing he
would take care that a sufficient time should elapse, be-
fore the committal of the Bill, to enable the parties in-
terested to make themselves acquainted with its enact-
ments.

The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested to his Noble
Friend the propriety
,of making special provision for
cases in which parties proposed t.) abandon only part
of a scheme, with a view to prevent an abuse
of their pswer on the part of railway companies. Such
mass had occurred in which the interference of the Court
of Chancery had become necessary.
The Duke of RICHMOND thought the railway share-
holders were not the only persons to be considered; the
landholders had given up this land upon the
faith of a line being carried from one point
to another point, and now, f)rsooth, because the
shares were down in the market, those shareholders who
had prevented many towns from having railways, now
sought to escape from their liabilities. The landowners
would, in many cases, be put in a very awkward position
if this Bill passed. It was very well to say that the
landowners might go to the Court of Chancery ;
but it was the court, of all others, of which
they had the greatest dread. He wished to
know whether the Commissioners were to act
judicially or not. In many cases agreements had been
entered intl to give compensation to landowners which
the Court of Chancery would not enforce, but which a
Committee of the Lords or the Commons would.

Lord LANGDALE entirely dissented from the prin-
ciple of the Bill. Thee companies had had granted to
them the power of interfering with the rights of property
en condition that they ;should complete a great public
work for the public good, and having exercised that
power they now sought to be relieved from the condi-
tions on which they had obtained it. The greater por-
tion of railway shareholders were mere speculators for
whom their Lordships ought not to feel much sympathy,
and he thought they ought to be called upon to complete
their undertakings, and to keep faith vsith Parliament
and the country.
Lord BEAUMONT thought the object of the Bill
waa to obtain a most desirable end, but that it did not
adopt the best means to attain that end. He approved of
the principle of the Bill, but objected to some of the de•
tails.
