HOUSE OF COMMONS--TUESDAY.

Sir E. NA mum. presented a copy of the rules and regula-
tions of Warwick Gaol. '

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition, signed by the
chairman of a meeting at Edinburgh, praying that her Majes-
ty's ministers might be impeached on account of their conduct
towards the people of Birmingham.
Mr. HAWES gave notice that he should, on Tuesday next,
submit a motion regarding the confinement of John Thorow-
good, in Chelmsford Gaol, on account of church rates.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that he should, on Tuesday
week, move for papers relating to the treaties between Tur-
key and England, and to the trade, generally, between the
two countries.

In answer to a question from Mr. HUME,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he could not agree
with the noble and learned lord chief justice of the Queen's
Bench,Ahat the magistrates of the county of Warwick had
jurisdiction in the borough of Birmingham. He thought
they certainly had, as he knew of nothing either in the char-
ter of the borough, or in the municipal corporations act, to
deprive theni of that jurisdiction.
Mr. HUME trusted that government would at once bring
in a bill declaratory of the law upon the subject.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved for an advance of money on ac-
count of a Birmingham police force.—a motion which, after
some opposition from Mr. Leader, &c. was agreed to. The
House, in committee, adopted a resolution for granting the
loan of-XlO,OOO to the Birmingham corporation, for the or-
ganisation of a local police. That resolution was immediately
reported, and shortly afterwards Lord J. Russell brought in
the bill, which was read a first, and ordered to be read the
second time on Thursday.
On a Motion by Mr. EwAwr, copies of papers were ordered
relative to African coffee.

Mr. FBENCH rose to move an address to her Majesty,
respecting railways in Ireland, but was twice stopped in his
speech; in order that the house might be counted. On the
first occasion, there were upwards of 40 members present,
but on the second the number was such as to admit of the
desired adjournment.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY.
The House of Lords did not assemble this day, except in
committee, above stairs, on the " Blackwall railway bill,"
which continued till four o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY.

Lord ASHLEY inquired whether it was intended to proceed
with the " factories bill," and to-day.
Mr. Fox MAULE answered in the affirmative.

Lord ASHLEY inquired whether the clause in the bill
respecting children employed in silk factories was to be
struck out.

Mr. Fox MAULE said it was.
Lord ASHLEY said, such being the case, he should deem
it to be his duty to oppose the bill in every way that the
forms of the house would allow.

Mr. BAINES submitted whether it would not be better to
withdraw the bill altogether until next session.
There was no answer given to this proposition.
Mr. Fox MAULE, in answer to Sir Eardley Wilmot, said
that there would not be any objection to the production of
the report of the visiting magistrates of Warwick Gaol.
Mr. HUME fixed his notice regarding the " Royal Aca-
demy" for Tuesday next.
Lord Jolts RUSSELL, in answer to Lord G. Somerset's
inquiry, said that he hoped to be able to proceed with the
poor law commissioners continuance bill on Friday ; and that
his proposed clause would include " widows."
His LoRDSIIIP afterwards intimated that, as there was
now so little private business before the house, it was de-
sirable to commence public _business as soon after four
o'clock as possible, for which purpose he hoped for the con-
tinued attendance of members, as that would be the means
of preventing the hotse being counted out.
Sir F. BURDETT inquired when the papers regarding the
Birmingham riots were to be laid before the house, as there
ought to be some discussion on the subject.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he was not aware that any
papers were to be produced, except the list of magistrates,
and for that he had written to the Lord Chancellor.

The Ecclesiastical Districts Bill went through committee.
Report to be received this day.
The Postage Duties Bill went through committee, the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stating that after it had
become law inducements would be held out to scientific men
to devise means of preventing forgeries of the letter-cower
stamps.
The report of the Shannon navigation was presented and
agreed to.
The Public Works (Ireland) Bill went through committee.
The house then proceeded with, and forwarded a stage,
most of the remaining orders of the day.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a bill for the
establishment of County and District Constables by autho-
thority of Justices of the peace for England and Wales, and
stated that he did not propose to limit the time of its opera-
tion.

Much discussion arose upon the motion as to the expedi-
ency of proposing any such measure at the present time.
Leave was ultimately given ; and on the motion that Lord
J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir. J. C.
Hobhouse bring in the bill.
Mr. D'l SRAELI said that he had no doubt the crisis in which
the country now was had been hastened by the existence of
such a ministry as the present.
The house then adjourned.

It is now generally expected that parliament will not be
prorogued until the second week in August.—Times.

POULTON.LE-FYLDE.—The crops in this neighbourhood
in general appear remarkably healthy and good. except the
crops of wheat, which, in some places, are partially defective,
have risen rather thin from the land, but of good healthy
colour, and are now full shot out into the ear, yet, if the
season droves favourable, rather more than an average crop
is anticipated. Barley, oats, and beans, on the whole, are
partimilarly promising, as are also the potato croPs, which,
we trust, will this year make up for the deficiency of the
last. Thp, hiy harvest, which is now at its iicme, has been
found more abundant than was eXpected, and what has been
cut has been housed in excellent condition • another week of
fine we'ather would bring it to a close. There is very little
show of apples and stone fruit.—Blackburn Standard.
