HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY

A long discussion took place upon a motion of Lord
BEAUMONT, for the suspension of the standing orders of
the House in the case of the Great Western, Shrewsbury
and Birmingham, and Shrewsbury and Chester Railway
Companies' Amalgamation Bill. The object being to per-
mit of the passing of this measure during the present ses-
sion, and by this means to destroy the monopoly now
possessed by the London and North-western Company of
the line of communication between London and the Mer-
sey by the establishment of a competing interest.
—The motion was supported by Lord Lyndhurst, and
opposed by Lord Redesdale and other noble lords. It
was ultimately negatived without a division.
Some conversation arose with respect to the alteration
made by Government in the management of the grant in
aid of national education in Ireland.

Lord DERBY adduced several precedents for the course
he and his colleagues had taken, which had occurred
during the administration of their predecessors.
The House then went into committee upon the Cur-
rupt Practices at Elections Bill.

The Earl of DERBY objected to the bill in its present
shape. It permitted an investigation to be set on foot by
a simple vote of the House of Commons, as has hitherto
been the case by means of an address to the Crown, con-
curred in by the House of Lords. He should move
amendments exempting counties and universities from the
operation of the bill, and limiting the discretion of in-
quiry into several consecutive elections to three cases in
which bribery had continuously been practised, and ex-
empting those in which a pure election:intervened. He
should move the omission of certain terms in one of the
clauses by which for the first time the offence of treating
was placed upon exactly the same footing as the far more
flagrant crime of bribery. With these exceptions, he
thought the bill would not only prove a harmless, but a
beneficial measure.—After a long discussion, in which
the Duke of Argyll, Duke of Newcastle, Lord Brougham,
the Lord Chancellor, Lord Truro, Earl Grey, and others,
took part, the house divided upon the first amendment,
requiring the concurrence of the House of Lords in a mo-
tion for inquiry, which was carried by 78 to 34.—Their
lordships, after a short discussion, again divided upon the
amendment for the omission of the treating claube, which
was also carried by 68 to 35.—The bill then passed through
committee, and the house adjourned at a quarter past 12.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.
On the motion that the Ramsgate Royal Harbour bill
be read a third time, Mr. HUDSON complained of the
passing tolls payable by the shipping interest to this har-
bour, and moved that the bill be read again this day three
months.—After a long discussion, a division was taken,
when the bill was defeated by 130 to 28.
The remainder of the sitting was occupied in Committee
of Supply.—Upon the estimate of £400,000 for charges
connected with the colony of Labuan, a discussion again
arose, in which Mr. S. HERBERT, Mr. HUM E, Mr. B.
CocurtANE, Sir DE LACY EVANS, and others, took part,
relative to the position and conduct of Sir J. Brooke,
Governor of that colony.—The vote was eventually agreed
to, and the house adjourned at five minutes to four.
The House re-assembled at six o'clock.

In reply to Mr. Monsell, Mr. E. LEWIS stated that the
late Government received, in the usual way, an application
for £l,OOO to £1,200 for the repairs of Maynooth Col-
lege, but before that sum had been put into the form in
which they were printed the late Government left office.
No direction had been given for the omission of the vote,
and had the late Ministry continued in office, no doubt
it would have been included in the estimates.
On the question that the report of supply be received,
Lord J. RUSSELL, at considerable length, called atten-
tion to the case of Mr. Mather. He should not think it
necessary to move a formal resolution upon the subject,
but he did think it right that the House of Commons
should not be committed to an approval of the extraordi-
nary course which had been taken by Government. The
noble lord then proceeded to review elaborately all the
circumstances of the case, as set forth in the printed cor-
respondence, commenting very severely upon the infir-
mity of purpose, and want of due regard to the honour
and character of the country, exhibited throughout by
Lord Malmesbury. He could not help protesting most
earnestly against the conduct of that noble earl, which
must serve to degrade Government in the eyes of foreign
nations, and would have degraded the country also, had
it not been so clearly and so indignantly disavowed. The
noble lord then entered into a general examination and
condemnation of the proceedings of Government since
they came into office, claiming for his own Ministry the
credit of the measures for law reform, taunting the Pro-
tectionist party with the gradual abandonment of their
principles, and concluding with the remark that the pre-
sent Government was without an opinion. The speech
was received with considerable cheering.
Lord STANLEY defended Lord Malmesbury, arguing
that redress could have been demanded from Austria
without thereby recognising the right of Austria to the
military occupation of Tuscany ; and expressing his
opinion that the facts of the case had been much miscon-
ceived.

Mr. B. OSBORNE said the defence of Lord Malmeabury's
conduct was one of the most lame and impotent which
could be conceived.

Lord PALNIERSTON declined to enter upon the question
of Protection and other topics referred to by Lord John
Russell, but would confine himself to the subject more
immediately under discussion. He had read the papers
connected with the case of Mr. Mather with anything
but a feeling of satisfaction, and he wished that the whole
of the correspondence might be buried in oblivion. In
his opinion, the late Government, as well as the present,
were to blame in the conduct of this affair. The Austrian
Government ought to have been called upon to punish
the offender; and should it have been pleaded that the
officer merely acted upon his orders, the English Govern-
ment should have taught them that such orders and rules
must not be made as were calculated to inflict injury on
British subjects. With respect to compensation, the
noble lord objected to the course taken both by Lord
Malmesbury and Mr. Scarlet. He felt a great interest
in the independence of Tuscany, and thought that if
Austria would plant her troops in the smaller states of
Italy, she ought to be held responsible for their actions.
The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER said jt should
not be forgotten that Lord J. Russell had himself turned
out of office his own secretary, whose conduct he now at-
tempted to contrast so favourably with that of Lord
Malmesbury, in the hope thereby of throwing odium upon
the government. He complimented Lord Palmerston on
the tone and tenor of his speech ; and then proceeded to
contend that there was no inconsistency in the expressions
made use of in reference to this outrage by Lord Malmes-
bury in his despatches. He also vindicated the govern-
ment from the other charges brought against it by Lord
J. Russell ; and concluded a very animated speech amid
loud cheering.

After a few more remarks from Mr. DE STUART, the
report was recei7ed.

MAYNOOTH,

A long discussion took place relative to the propriety of
resuming the debate upon the College of Maynooth.—A
motion, that the house do adjourn, was opposed by Mr.
SPCONER and his supporters, who insisted upon consider-
ing the division upon this point as equivalent to a
division upon the main question. The result was—For
the motion, 103 ; against it, 29.
The house adjourned at three o'clock.
