Five o'clock.

On the motion that the report on the South-Eastern
Railway Bill be brought up,
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition
from a person named MOURILLIAN against the Bill, and
moved that it be re-committed.

Lord REDESDALE said the allegations in the petition

be solicitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, who
should have been in practice for the space of ten fears
or upwards."
The amendment, which was supported by Lord
COTTENHAM, Lord CAMPBELL, the Marquis of CLAN-
RICARDE, and Lord LANGDALE, and opposed by the
LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of
St. GERMANS, was carried by a majority of 6, the num-
bers being-19 for the amendment and 13 against it.
In answer to Earl FORTESCUE, it was stated by Lord
STANLEY that the execution of the persona convicted at
Exeter of the murder of Mr. PALMER and some of the
crew of the Wasp, had been respited, in order that the
opinion of the judges might be taken on the point of
law raised at the trial.

The County Rates Bill was read a third time.
The Duke of RicHmoNn moved that the Portsmouth
Railway (Atmospheric) Bill be recommitted.
The recommittal was opposed by the Marquis of
NORTILIMPTON; along discussion ensued, and eventually
the amendment was carried ; shortly after which their
Lordships adjourned.
The Commons met shortly before Four o'clock, and
went up to the Lords to hear the royal assent given to
♦arious Bills.
On their return

Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the Chairman
of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company against
the London and York Railway Bill, representing that
many of the names on the subscription list were those of
paupers and many of them were forgeries. He moved
that the petition be printed.
The motion, which was opposed by Mr. B. DENNISON,
Mr. WARD, Mr. BERNAL, and Mr. DARBY, and sup-
ported by Mr. ROEBUCK was agreed to.
Mr. B. DENNISON then moved the third reading of the
Bill.

Mr. ROEBUCK. moved that it be read a third time that
day three months.
The amendment, which was supported by Mr. HAWES
and opposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, Mr. B. DENNISON and
Mr. WARD, was negatived, and the Bill was read a third
time and passed.
Mr. Escorr gave notice of a motion for next session,
for the admission of Indian corn duty free.

Sir H. PEEL gave notice that, to-morrow, he should
move the adjournment of the House till Friday.
Mr. SMYTHE postponed, till next session, his motion
on Portendic.

In answer to Sir R. INGLis, it was stated by Sir R,
PEEL, that the subject of the propriety of rebuilding
Westnaiiister-bridge was under the consideration of Go-

vernment.

In answer to Mr. CHRISTIE, Sir J. GRAHAM said that
the Brazilian pirates condemned at Exeter were respited,
in order to give time to have the legality of the convic-

tion argued.
Mr. G. W. HOPE, in answer to Mr. P. HOWARD, said
negotiations were still going on between the Governmen,
and the New Zealand Company.
After a few words from Lord PALMERSTON on the
subject of the causes of the recent accident on the Dover
Railway, and from Mr. TUFNELL and Sir .7. GRAHAM,
on the case of JOHN MAYES, supposed to have been im-
properly convicted of felony,
Mr. MOFFATT asked whether the new Houses of
Parliament would be ready by 1847 ?
Lord LINCOLN said the Committee-rooms would to
but not the Hall.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to Lord EBRINGTON,
said, that measures had been taken to prevent the re-
currence of such revolting scenes as had occurred at the
Spafields burying-ground.
On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,

Mr. M. GIBSON rose for the purpose of drawing the
attention of the House to the state of our relations with
Brazil, and also to the question of encouraging the
immigration of labourers into the West Indies.
A brief discussion ensued, but Sir R. PEEL declining
to enter into the matter at any length, the subject
dropped.
Mr. HAW Es then brought forward his motion respect-
ing the conduct of Mr. WRAY, which led to a long dis-
cussion, in the course of which the House was addressed
by Sir J. Graham, Mr. Sheil, Mr. W. Patten, Lord John
Russell, and Sir R. Peel, but ultimately the motion was
rejected, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past 11
o'clock.

It is believed by persons likely to be well informed,
that the close of the session will be followed by a change
in the Government far more important than the substitu-
tion of Lord MAHON for Mr. TENNENT, or of Mr.
CRIPPS or Sir CHARLES DOUGLAS (whichever may be the
fortuuatus puer) for Captain BOLDER°. When Lord
STANLEY is fairly out of his New Zealand scrape, it is
believed that good care will be taken to get him out of
the Colonial-office, before he gets into another. The
political process of kicking up stairs, which was new to
the witty Lord HALIFAX, has since become a very trite
expedient ; and the practised dexterity of Sir R. PEEL
will find no difficulty in preserving Lord STANLEY'S
dignity unimpaired, while he at one and the same time
relieves him from the heavy responsibility of the Colonial
portfolio, and our Colonial Empire from the heavy
weight of his grievous mismanagement. What is Lord
STANLEY'S exact destiny,—troth w hich • of the great
honorary posts of the Government he is tis continue to
manage the House of Lords, and to watch the turf,—
whether he is to be Privy Seal or President. of the
Council, we do not take upon ourselves to say
nor can NN e say who is tc -be his successor
Rumour names three individu&s, two of whom, un-
tedlyi.would be no better than the doomed Lord
',,STA.N.Ev, while the chief reconamendation, at present,
of the third is that he is comparatively untried and un-
known. These three rumoured successors are Mr.
GLADSTONE,LOTd ELLENBOROUGH, and Lord DALIIO ET SIE.
11eaveri defend our colonies from the crooked tixford
Jesuit ; far bettCt than that would be Lord ELLENBO-
ROUG 11, or the young and inexperienced Lord I)AL-

ROME.
Lord WHABNCLIFFE, the President of the Council.
