good and fine Cochin have been made at 30s 64 to
31s 63 per cwt, but several parcels have arrived.

little business dune for delivery. Rape Seed Oil has
been purchased with caution, sellers are willing to accept

A good demand has been experienced for some

less freely supplied, and rates exhibit an advance, a
limited quantity having been brought to market. At
auction 600 pkgs of South American were sold at from
33s to 36s 6d for low to fine, and 1,700 casks Sydney at
35s to 37s 6d per cwt.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
PETITIONS.

The Marquis of BREADALBANE presented several
petitions from Presbyterian congregations in Scotland
and Ireland against Post-office Sunday labour.
The Earl of ROSEBERY presented several petitions
against any alteration in the law of marriage which
should authorise marriage with a deceased wife's sister.
The Earl of RUDEN presented a petition from some
place in Ireland for a grant to Church schools; also
petitions against Post-office Sunday labour.
The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from
Wisbrach with a similar prayer.
PROCESS AND PRACTICE (IRELAND) BILL.
The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading
of this Bill, the object of which was to render justice in
Ireland more cheap, more certain, and more expeditious.
Lord MONTEAGLE hoped that sufficient time would
be given to the public and the profession in Ireland to
consider the provisions of this Bill.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH objected to any
alteration in the law, which required greater strictness in
the particulars of summonses in actions for ejectment.
After a few words from the Earl of CARLISLE, the
Bill was read a second time.
WEST 'INDIA APPEALS BILL

This Bill passed through Committee.
TITLES OF RELIGIOUS CONGREGATIONS
BILL (SCOTLAND).
On the motion of the Marquis of BREADALBANE,
this Bill was read a third time and passed.
ADVANCES FOR PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND).
The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved for copies of
all communications made in and since February, 1849,
to the Beard of Works in Ireland, or to the ish Go-
vernment by the Marquis of Westmeath, Sir Montague
Chapman, Bart., or any other landed proprietors in the
barony of Delvin, and cou,nty of Westmeath, relative to
the public works carried on in that locality under
what is termed Mr. Lebow:bees Letter, and the replies
thereto, as well as all inclosures accompanying the same.
The Noble Marquis complained that the result of the
acceptance, by the landowners, of Government advances
had been to bleed the improvers, and to encourage and
benefit the lazy and careless. The persons employed
had not done their duty properly, and under these cir-
cumstances he hoped the Government would insist upon
the payment of the uttermost farthing of the money,
to which those who had accepted the advances had
made themselves liable, for the Government officers had
taken the management of these works out of the hands
of the landowners. He denied that the money had been
asked for; Mr. Labouchere had made a proposal, in
perfect good faith he believed, and that proposal had been
accepted.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the whole
of the advances made under Mr. Labouchere' letter had
been ialade to the landowners for the improvement of
their property; and no later than last year the persons
to whom these advances had been made received a great
indulgence in having the time for the repayment of thos3
advances extended last a

appear from the papers for which the Noble Marquis
had moved, and to the production of which there was
no objection.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER said the Noble
Marquis had been imposed upon many persons, who
were totally incapable of doing a day's work, who could
not properly use a spade, who could scarcely stand had
been employed and paid for a regular day's work, be-
cause none of those who had the management of these
works dared to refuse them.
The Earl of MOUNTCASIIELL complained of the
manner in which persons had been employed upon the
roads. The reads had been rendered worse than
useless by the persons so employed. The effect of the
poor-law in Ireland was to drive the ratepayers out of the
country and to prevent the employment of the poor.
The motion was then agreed to.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and
their Lordships adjourned.
