CHARITABLE TRUSTS-BILL.—
The Marquis of SALISBURY, in presenting a` petition
from the Company of Clothworkers, in the City of Lon-
don, begged to draw the Particular attention of the
House to the purport of this petition. He thought that
it involved 'an important principle, and lie should, there-
fore, with their Lordship's permission give the substance
of it. His Lordship then read a portion of the petition.
Lord BROUGHAM hoped his Noble Friend would
not press the second reading of the Bill to-night.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was' an import-
ant measure, and fixed the second feeding for Thurs-
day next,. He thought the petitioners had
misunderstood the object of the Bill. The
only objection which they could reasonably offer to it
was, that they would be required from time to time to
state the amount of their receipts and expenditure in
connexion with the charities. He thought no public
body ought to object to such a return.
Lord CAMPELL warmly supported the principle of
the Bill, but would not then enter into detail. respecting
it. On Thursday the Bill would be regularly before the
House, and they would then hear what was said on
both sides.
The LORD CHANCELLOR had no doubt that the
constitution of the tribunal proposed in the Bill, in rela-
tion to the charities, would meet with his Noble Friend's
(Lord Campbell's) approbation. On the evening he had
named the Noble Lord would have an ample opportunity
of considering the Bill.'

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
SCARBOROUGH WATER-WORKS.

After the presentation of several petitions against the
grant to Maynooth. the Scarborough Water-Works'
Bill was read a second time.
RAILWAYS.

Mr. S. WORTLEY said that he would detain the
House but a very few moments before moving
the adoption of the resolution of which he had
given notice, and which was simply in con-
formity with a recommendation in the first report of the
Committee on Railways last session. He was induced
to draw the attention of the House to this subject from
a belief that we were not yet in a position to come to
any general rule on railway legislation. During the last
session of Parliament a Bill had been passed, which
required that all future Bills for the formation of
railways should be subject to its provisions. This
was the plan adopted by his Right Hon. Friend
who was at that time at the head of the
Board of Trade, and he had from private communica-
tion reason to believe that it was not that gentleman's
intention to have stopped there, for he foresaw that as
railway projects were introduced some further regula •
tions would have to be adopted. He should, therefore,
move that the clause of which he had given notice
should form one of the standing orders of the House.
Should experience prove that this was unnecessary, it
could be very easily rescinded. The Hon. Member
then moved that a clause be added to the Bill
authorising the Railway -Department of the
Board of Trade to the following effect :
And be it further enacted, that nothing herein contained
shall be deemed or construed to exempt the railway by
this or the said recited Acts authorised to be made from
the provisions of any general Act relating to such Bills,
or of any general Act -Yelacing to railways, which may
hereafter pass durinr, the present or any future session
of Parliament, and that the said resolution be a standing
order of this House.

Mr. GISBORNE objected to these frequent attempts
at patching up the standing orders.
Mr. DARBY thought the motion ought to be ad-
journed to a more convenient time.
Mr. HAWES thought a longer notice of the motion
ought to have been given, and that the motion ought to
be brought forward in a fuller House. He would sug-
gest that the motion should be deferred for a week.
Sir G. CLERK hoped his Hon. Friend would adopt
the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Lambeth. He
(Sir G. Clerk) had only that moment heard of the
motion.

Mr. LABOUCHERE agreed with the principle of the
motion, but thought it ought to be postponed to a more
convenient period.

Mr. GLADSTONE recommended his Hon. Friend to
defer the motion.
The motion was then withdrawn, and Mr. S. WORT-
LEY gave notice that he should renew it next week.

DUBLIN AND AIULLINGAR RAILWAY.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr. O'Brien, appeared at
the bar, in his official robes, and presented a petition in
favour of the Dublin, Mullingar, and Athlone Railway
Bill.

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY.
On the motion of Mr. ENTWISLE, the Manches-
ter and Liverpool Railway Bill was read a second time.
