IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, TnuitsDaY, JUNE 17.
ROYAL ASSENT.
At four o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and
Viscount Melville, took their seats as Commissioners appointed to
declare the Royal assent to several bills.
The Commons having attended at the Bar,
The LORD CHANCELLOR informed them that his Majesty
had caused a Commission to issue, under the Great Seal, to declare
the Royal assent to several Bills.
The Commission was read as usual. It only differed from for.
mer Commissions by containing the following word% :—'• We
have caused out Royal signature to be affixed hereto, according to
the statute."

The Royal assent was declared in the usual forms to the Four per
Cent. Annuities Reduction Bill, a Bill to alter the Law relating to
certain Criminal Offences, the Dover Improvement Bill ; the Dun.
dee Harbour. the Perth Harbour, the Galway Harbour, and the
Port Glasgow Improvement Bills ; the Shannon Navigation Bill,
the Dublin Improvement Bill, and several other private Bills, the
whole making thirty-four.
A number of petitions were presented by Lord HOLLAND and
other Peers, from various parts of the country, against capital pu-
nishment in CAWS of forgery.

GALWAY FRANCHISE SILL.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a petition from
the Alembers of the Koyal College at Galway, against the Bill be-
fore the Honse for admitting Roman Catholics to the rights of Cor-
povators in Galway.
The Earl of lIIALMESBURY presented a petition from the
mayor and members of the corporation of Galway, praying their
to dships not to pass the bill into a law. Also a petition, praying
to be heard by counsel against the bill, on the ground that it was
injurious to their vested rights. The noble earl, in support of the
petitions, moved that counsel be heard against the bill, so far as the
interest of the petitioners is concerned, on Thursday next.
Earl GREY did not rise to object to the motion for hearing COUII.
sel, but expressed a hope that the house would allow the bill to be
read a second time this day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, it had been always usual
to hear witnesses on the second reading of a bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND said, he did not thick counsel ought
to be heard against the principle of the bill for relief of tho Cabo.
lies, which passed last year. He certainly opposed that bill in all
its stages, but could not admit that it ought to discuss.d again
at the bar of that house.

The Earl of DIALIIIESBURY said, the petitioners were
desirous of being heard on their own vested interest. He disliked
blowing hot and cold upon any question. Last year, a sort of
side wind, or cold blast, destroyed the rights of 40,000 forty shil-
ling freeholders.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE said, the bill before the house
appeared to be one of pains and penalties. It was a bill to take
away the rights of Protestants. The passing of the bill of last year
could not justify the taking away vested rights.
Lord GREY-.-The bill takes away no rights, but admits others
to participate in the rights enjoyed by the petitioners.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE expressed an opinion that the peti.
tioners ought to be heard upon the second reading of the bill, because
they opposed the principle of the bill.
After a few words from Lord Rot.i.r and Lord ELLExisci-
locrou, Earl GREY fixed the second reading of the bill for Thurs.
day, and the motion for hearing Counsel was agreed to.
The Marquis of WELLESLEY and the Marquis of LANS-
DOWNE presented petitions from Galway in favour of the bill.
