NEW SOUTH WALES.

Mr. SCOTT said, that he wished to put a question to
the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, whether it was the
intention of her Alajesty's Government, to introduce any
measure with regard to the unsold lands in New South Wales.
Mr. HOPE said, that such was the intention, and the
Secretary fur the Colonies was in communication with persons
in that country on the subject.
In answer to a question fron Mr. EwAnT,
Sir GEORGE CLERK said that the removal and not the
dismissal of one of the masters of the School of Design arose
from the insubordination of some of the pupils.
SIR VALENTINE BLAKE AND THE LAW OF

ARREST.
Sir VALENTINE BLAKE rose and said—Sir, seeing
her Majesty's Ministers in their places, and seeing her Ma-
jesty's Solicitor-General in his place, I will take the very great
liberty of putting a question, and thereby suggesting to the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and all the Hon. and Learned
Gentlemen who took part in the debate last night, and who
were present in this Huose.—(Laughter)—that the proper
view of the question was not taken by this House or them.
The SPEAKER intimated that this was not putting a
question. _

- Sir V, BLAKE—The question I have to ask the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman is this : —supposing an Honourable Gen-
tleman is sued to execution for a debt, and supposing he is
arrested, what is the proper course then to be taken ?
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—In answer to the question
put to me by the Hon. Gentleman, I think the proper course
would be to take a legal opinion.--( Cheers and laughter.)
CAPTAIN BOLDERO, MR. BONHAM, AND THE
SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. HAWES then rose, and referring to a petition which
he had presented from the South-Eastern Railway Company,
said he thought he would be best discharging his duty by
simply moving for the appbintment of a Committee to inquire
into the allegations of the petition.
Captain BOLDERO—I think, Sir, that I can best
perform my duty by following the example of
the Honourable Gentleman, and merely second the
motion. At the same time, as great anxiety
is felt both by my friend Mr. Bonham and myself, I may ex-
press a hope that the Committee will be of the meat searching
character.—( Hear, hear.)
After a few further remarks from Mr. HAWES and Sir R.
PEEL the motion was agreed to.
THE LAND COMMISSION.
Mr. REDINGTON begged to protest against any measure
which might be introduced by the Government as being con-
sidered by Members of the House as coming from the Land Com-
mission, unless they were satisfied from the perusal of the
report that such measures were really based on it.
DECORATIONS OF THE HOUSES OF
PARLIAMENT.
On the order of the day for going into a Committee of Sup-
ply being read,
Mr. ROEBUCK rose to put a question to the Noble Lord
at the head of the Woods and Forests (Lord Lincoln) respect-
ing the Fine Arts Commission. It was well understood
that an exhibition of frescos was about to take place
for the purposes of art, and for the purpose of deciding which de-
signs were proper for the Houses of Parliament. He under-
stood that her Majesty. had been down that day and inspected
them. He was also informed that Members of both Houses
would have the privilege of inspecting them. If there
was to be any distinction at all, it should be for public
purposes, and not to gratify any personal curiosity. The
question he had to ask was, whether it was required that Mem-
bers of the House should ask the Secretary for tickets of ad-
mission. He had been there last year, and had been told that
unless he had a ticket of admission, signed by Mr. East-
lake, he could not be admitted, and that, as a Member
of Parliament, he could not be admitted without a ticket.
What he wished to ask was whether Members of Parliament
would be admitted to-morrow with tickets, or whether any
restriction would be place upon the admission of Members of
Parliament
