IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 1.
ROYAL ASSENT. _ _

The Ito) al Assent was given to-day by Commission
to the Justices Jurisdiction (No. 2) Bill, the Copyright
Bill, the Public-houses Regulation Bill, the Municipal
Corporations (Ireland) Amendment Bill, and the North
American Colonial. Association Regulation Bill.
The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the
Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Wharncliffe.
Their Lordships resumed at Five o'Clock.
MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND).

The Duke of LEINSTER presented a petition from
the county of Kildare, in favour of exempting the Medi-
cal Charities of Ireland, from the supervision of the
Poor-law Commissioners. His Lordship stated that he
totally dissented from the prayer of the petition.
Lord GLENGALL presented several petitions from
places in Ireland, to the same effect.
Lord CARBERY presented petitions, having the same
prayer.
Lord GLENGALL begged to state, that the sub-
scribers to these Charities had no objection to a proper
supervision, hut they had a great objection to the con-
trol of the Poor-law Commission.
COLLIERIES.

The Bishop of LONDON presented several petitions
from the North of England, praying the House to take
some steps to prevent the degrading employment of
females in mines.
MEDICAL CHARITIES.

The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a petition
from the president and members of the Medical Associa-
tion of Ireland, signed by 79 members of the medical pro-
fession, and sanctioned by almost all the medical pro-
fession in Ireland, complaining of the removal of medical
charities from the management of the gentry of the
country. The whole of Ireland was roused upon this
point, medical men as well as others, all of whom pro-
tested against the statements which they believed had been
put fortn from the worst of motives. The petitioners
objected to the supreme power over the medical men being
vested in the Commissioners, because the petitioners
believed that the Poor-law Commissioners had done less
good for the money raised on their behalf than any body
of men. When the Poor-law question was regularly
brought before their Lordships, he trusted the House
would pay due attention to the question.
`I he Duke of LEINSTER defended the conduct of the
Board of Guardians.

The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a similar
petition from a Dispensary in Cork.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Lis-
keard, complaining of the taxes on knowledge.
LAW OF EVIDENCE (SCOTLAND).

Lord CAMPBELL gave notice that it was 'not his
intention to bring in any Bill during. the present Ses-
sion with respect to the mode of giving evidence in
Scotland. Upon the most diligent inquiries he had
been able to make he had discovered that the
law of England and Scotland on this subject were the
same, and that the law of Scotland gave the
same protection to witnesses •as the law of
England did. If he found that the law of Scotland
was not the same as the law of England, upon discover-
ing that to be so he should feel himself bound to intro-
duce a Bill on the subject.
Earl RADNOR moved for certain returns, relative to
the importation of corn.—Agreed to.
The Earl of FINGALL presented a petition from the
Roman Catholics of Oldham, complaining of the griev-
ances under which. they laboured.
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed the second
reading of the Bill for the Limitation of Actions in Ireland
to Friday next__ • .
