BILL.

The Joint-Stock Companies Regulation Bill was read
third time, and some verbal amendments having been
agreed to it, it was passed.
JOINT-STOCK BANK BILL.
The Earl of RIPON moved the third reading of thl
Joint-Stock Bank Bill. Certain suggestions which he"
been made by the Noble Lord opposite had been adopted
as amendments in this Bill.

Lord MONTEAGLE expressed his satisfaction at the
announcement just made that certain of his suggestions
had been adopted ; but there were certain other amend'
ments which he should wish to see introduced. The,
Joint-Stock Companies Bill gave power to the Lord
Chancellor, or Master of the Rolls, to make regulations,
such regulations to have the force of law. Now that, he
apprehended, would prevent the Lord Chancellor or
Master of the Rolls from rescinding any regulations
which they might have made. Fie wished also to di'
reet attention to an anomaly which existed between this
Bill and the Joint Stock Companies Regulation Bill
By that Bill out going directors were elegible for re-
election, but by this Bill it was enacted that a certain
number of directors of such joint-stock bank should go
out of office every year, but that they should not be
eligible for re-election. Now, he should like to see the
principle which had been adopted'with regard to joint-
stock companies in this respect extended to joint-stoJc
banks. It was necessary to the public safety that in all
banking concerns there should be a continued and
steady system of management ; and he should propose
the omission of the words which prevented the re-
election of those out-going directors.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
The Noble Lord was interrupted in the course of hie,
speech by Messengers from the Commons, who reported
that the Commons had agreed to the Lords' amendment
of the Poor-law Bill, in the Duchy of Cornwall Bid
and in the Dublin Grand Jury Presentment Bill.
JOINT-STOCK BANK BILL.

The debate on the above Bill was then resumed.
Lord MONTEAGLE also objected to the regolv
tions respecting auditors. He thought that existig
joint-stock banks adopting the rkrulations of this BITh
ought to have their accounts audited by the auditors
appointed by the Board of Trade, in the same manner
as the newly-formed joint-stock banks. The Noble
Lord concluded by moving, as an amendment, that the
words prohibiting the re-election of outgoing director
should be omitted.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the Noble Lod
need be under no apprehension as to the regulations, for
there could be no doubt but that the Court of Chancel
possessed the power of rescinding its own order ; and IC
might make such orders as it might deem necessarl
from time to time.

The Earl of RIPON objected to the amendment'
The object of the provision was to guard against rills'
management by preventing the affairs of the bank fret°
getting into the hands of a clique. With regard to aude
tors, it should be recollected that the existing joint-stoe!;
banks were not liable to the regulations of this Di"'
It was extremely desirable, however, that they should be
induced voluntarily to submit themselves to its provisiongt
and he thqught the advantages held out to them were
such that many of them would be induced to do so ; bat
if they were compelled to submit their accounts to be
audited by auditors appointed by the Board of Trade?
he doubted whether they would ever be induced to adopt
the provisions of the Bill. _

After a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE, the
amendment was negatived without a division.
Several amendments were then proposed by the P6l
of RIPON, and agreed to, and the Bill was read a OUP'
time and passed.

TRATION HILL.
Earl DALHOUSIE in moving the third reading °ril

mons' amendments with the conference appointed by 06

were agreed to.

The 'Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Irish Arms Bill was read a third time andpassei
The Protection of Purchasers (Ireland) Bill was read
a third time and passed.
ART-UNIONS BILL.
Lord MONTEAGLE thought it would be betel'
that this Bill should not pass at all than that it should
pass without the amendments which their Lordships bad
agreed
agreed to. e thought it right that all lotteries, as wt
as art-unions, should be indemnified with regard to ths
past, but he would resist the making of private lotterial
legal in future. He would move, that, as far as relate:
to the proprietors of art-unions, that the indemniti
should continue up to the Ist of October.
The motion was agreed to.
STANDING ORDERS.
Earl DALHOUSIE moved that Nos. 223, 224, 23/'
and 232, of the standing orders might be rescinded,
order that others might be substituted in their place tws
enable them to carry out the Railways Bill. The objee.
was that railway plans might be first submitted to tll,l
Executive Department of the Board of Trade, which Wol,,
make a report upon them before coming to the Corara;
tee. This report of the Executive was not to be con Cit;
sive. The alteration would have the effect of limit'rie.
the expenses of those who wished to promote railrief
schemes.—The motion was agreed to.
The Commons' amendments to the Roman CatholiC
Penal Acts Repeal Bill were agreed to.
