glr(l. done up for the swallow of the Russian people.
kik..."lBhes alluded to are so many versions of a story; as,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—FRIDAY, JUNE 9.
The house re-assembled after the Easter recess.
THE NEW MINISTERS.
Lord ABERDEEN, in reply to Lord Derby, stated that
Lord John Russell had accepted the presidency of the
council, and that before the house met again a separation
of the offices now held by the Duke of Newcastle would
take place by the creation of a new secretaryship of state
for the war department, distinct from the secretaryship of
state for the colonies.
In reply to further questions from Lord Derby, Lord
ABERDEEN stated that the new secretary of state for war
would have neither the patronage nor the control of the
finances of the department.
The subject then dropped.
MILITARY KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.
The Earl of ALBEMARLE moved the appointment of a
select committee to inquire into the administration of the
funds of the charities connected with the military knights
of Windsor, and in a speech of great length advocated the
claims of that order.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, while he felt considerable
sympathy for the gallant veterans whose cause was sup-
ported by Lord Albemarle, still thought that this was a
legal question. If the Poor Knights of Windsor would
take his advice, they would present a memorial to the at-
torney-general, who would then consider their case, and
see if he could interfere on their behalf. After some fur-
ther discussion, in the course of which it seemed to be the
feeling of the house that the grievances complained of
were well founded, but that their redress had better be
left to the law officers of the crown, the motion was with-
drawn.
The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act
(further Amendment) Bill and the Dublin Port Bill passed
through committee.
The Consolidated Fund (e 8,000,000.) (No. 2) Bill was
read a third time and passed.
The Income-tax (No. 2,) the Church Buiding Acts
Amendment, and the Industrial and Provident Societies
Bills were read a second time.
Their lordships adjourned shortly after seven o'clock.
