KOUSE OF LORDS, July 7. •

Their Lordships met at the usual ;lour. f;.6
A messenger from the House of Commons brought
the Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill, the Mines and Col-
lieries Bill, and several other Bill;, which were osicliA
read a first time.
Lord WIIARNCLIITE laid upon the table the Reit,
port of the Commissioners of :National Education-in-,:,,
Ireland.

The Tithe Commutation Bill passed through CoM%
mittee.
LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL.
The Order of the Day for the third reading of they:ii'"
Liverpool Improvement Bill having been moved,
Thy Duke of RICHMOND moved that the clauses
which proposed that the public-houses in Liverlo4i
.shoulti be closed at certain hours on Sunday, in the sone
way as in London, should be expunged from the Bill.
He did not think that clauses of such a nature should be'
introduced into a private Bill like the present.
The Bishop of SALISBURY supported the clause&
He believed they had the approval of the whole of tbo',,
respectable inhabitants of Liverpool. He believed that
the Bill would be an ell:ient remedy for those
complained of by the promoters of the Bill, and he 1101).4
their Lordships would not, therefore, assent to the amend-
ment of the Noble Duke.
The Bishop of NORWICH expressed his decided ars ;
probation of the Bill as it then stood, for the reasons
ably assigned by the Rev. Prelate. He hoped the Nob10::'•
Duke would withdraw his opposition.
Lord SKELMERSDALE said, that connected as
was with the neighbourhood of Liverpool, he could 0°
remain silent in the matter underdiscussion. He sh°l4;,,i
certainly feel it his duty to support the Bill in its prey
form. He could not concur in what had fallen fronl ti!0;
Noble Duke. This Bill concerned the peace and yorififf
fort of upwards of 300,000 inhabitants. He should cee''',s
tainly support the third reading of the Bill. •
The House then divided on the amendment— Y".td

The Duke of RICHMOND addressing the Housegl io

labourers at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, 104;:ao
a public'house.—(Hear, hear.) He should now 1130711)
that the clause which prevented publicans serving-147;f
under the age of sixteen years, should be rejected. ',llO
Lord CAMPBELL said the clause ran—" boys. r';,111
rently under sixteen years of age."—(Laughter.) Sfri,
Noble Duke did not divide the House he (Lord Csalr-4
bell) should do so.
The Earl of WICKLOW considered that the 011 ,0'
was the best in the Bill. A Bill had been intro 4
iato the House of Commons, when the Noble and Lea'
Lord was a Member of that House, in which was a elsn'
precisely of a similar nature, and which the Noble
Learned Lord must have been aware of.

Lord CAMPBELL—I was not aware of it then. t;?,
The Earl of WICKLOW—If the Noble Lord NvOttifib
the framer of the Bill, it must certainly have come Wl',
his notice.
Lord SK ;ELMERSDALE supported the clause. •• •

Committee upon the Customs Bill, ' Earl STANHOPE said he had no desire to offer_i oig
unnecessary obstruction to the Bill, but he wielr'',
take that opportunity of making a few obserame!'.
The first objection he had to the Bill was on the :,-‘ ejl
that the duties on articles of luxury consumed hY..„40
rich were reduced. He objected to this, unless, iteeetell
be shown that it was followed by an increase of reveline" 4
also objected to a reduction of duty in those cases telant:OP
benefit would accrue to the retailer and not to 01, ~l'l

The Noble Lord behind him had opened R, 0 ':" ' ell
the torrent from which would carry him e.nd, )p.f&V,
leagues away. The Noble Lord said that, t'llgige. d

the case, for he had received a communication that=' ell
from North Devon, stating that there was noel ~,
cattle and corn. He had seen a hatter, and he nue. '0
that under the new tariff, he . should either s'ete:4loe.
business abroad, or import foreign hats. He askeue!eiki'
would leecome of his labourers, and he said that the! neel
starve. But they would not starve, they would not?,

The Earl of RADNOR said that the want of. Ike'.
cattle and corn was not caused by the tariff but the •Ate
tress of the country. There was great distress ,ie,e,4;•

The Earl of WICKLOW would protest againstly.,..'
course taken by the Noble Earl at the table,efsd 4,`
Noble Earl, unable to make the arguments he use A!
a former night effectual, had now attempted to edir',:..
the people. But the people believed that whateVeryA4
ference of opinion there was between the Noble whatever

and those who supported the Bill, they had bat ofif pot

believe that this was a final measure, he believed °lot
was but a step towards a more liberal sg„o.)
and as such he supported it.—(Hear and crus to

The Earl of FORTESCUE said as the Noble,.slll.l.thit
who opened the debate had referred to that part °e` fen
country with which he was himself connected, hoe
bound to state, as he did from his own knowi nry
that although the tariff when first proposed had Ted
duced a general panic, that panic had since subsideuyti' itil
the markets had returned to their previous state. .ii, 01

Noble Lord, who stated that in his opinion the tarn',
