IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY, JUNE i.

COURTS OF COMMERCE.—The Earl of HARROWCY
presented a petition, signed by the Mayor of Liverpool,
and agreed to at a meeting of delegates from various
chambers of commerce, praying for the establishment of
local courts for the settlement of mercantile and commer-
cial disputes.
Drummond's (Duke de Melfort's) Restitution Bill was
read a second time. The object was to revive the earldom
of Perth, and to restore it to the lawful descendant of the
earl who was attainted in 1715 for his attachment to the
family of the Stuarts.
ARRESTMENT OF WAGES IN SCOTLAND. Lord
BRouottAm presented a petition from certain manufac-
turers and their labourers in Glasgow, and also a petition
from the corporate body of that place, praying for the
abolition of the laws of arrestment of wages for debt in
Scotland.

AY, JUNE 9.
ARRESTMENT OFTHUR
WAGES.—Lord BROUGFIAM brought
in a bill, for the amendment of the law in Scotland rela-
tive to arrestment of wages for debt.—The LORD CHAN-
'CELLOR considered the state of the law on this subject
objectionable; at the same time he thought an opportu-
nity should be given for a full consideration of the bill, so
that parties might, if they choose, petition against it.—
Lord PANMURE said the present state of the law was not
productive of much evil.—The bill was read a first time.
The Income Tax Bill was read a first time ; the Hack-
ney Carriages (Metropolis) Bill was read a second time ;
and some other bills were forwarded a stage.
FRIDAY, JUNE 10.
The Marquis of BATH presented several petitions pray-
ing the House to grant no further powers to the Great
Western Railway Company till they should have com-
pleted the line between Warminster and Salisbury.
GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND.—The Marquis of WEST-
MEATH moved for copies of certain convictions before the
justices of Galway, and proceeded to comment with some
severity on the events which occurred at the last West-
meath election, and especially with reference to the part
played by the present Solicitor-General for Ireland upon
that occasion.
no The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he had
l knowled of what had occurred at the Westmeath
election, andge , as he had not included that point in his notice
o motion, he did not feel called uon to make any further
EEa of D)rly to it. In the course
of the subsequent discussion the
EGLINTOUN said he must say that he thought the
appointment of Mr. Keogh the least reputable appoint-
meat of the present government.—The Duke of NEW-
ASTLE said, he did not wish to throw any personal
acrimony into the discussion ; but he might make a very
pointed remark on the last sentence of the noble earl'se
Meant.
speech
; and he believed the noble earl knew what
(Hear.)—The Earl of EGLINTOUN rising instantly,
and with some warmth, said—l do not know or care whom
it may commit—but I will not be committed for one
moment before your lordships by any hint or inuendo.
(Cheers.)—The Duke of NEWCASTLE.—Then, as noble
lords opposite cheer, I suppose they
assured wish me to state, and
I will state. My statement is this,—that I have been
, when the noble earl says the appointment of my
bon. and learned friend (Mr. Keogh) is one of the least
reputable acts of the present government—and I have it
'on the best
possible authority—that a communication was
Made bY a noble lord who occupied an office under the
noble earl opposite, before the completion of the arrange-
o. his government, purporting to come from the
noble
in earl opposite, at the head of the government, to
quire whether my hon. and learned friend would take
office under him. (Cheers from the Ministerial side).—
The Earl of DERBY.—I heard it,
for the first time,
after the appointment of Mr. Keogh had called forth a
fireat deal of observation in Ireland, and was loudly con-
demned. I heard it put about by Mr. Keogh's friends
that a certain offer had been made, and I lost no time in
authorising
every person who might hear that, to state on
aMy authority that I did not know, nor have I ever autho-
ned, nor did I then believe, nor do I now believe, that
y such offer, proposition, suggestion, or hint was ever
made to Arr. Keog. .Hear, hear.)
The Earl of EGLh
INTO(UN.—I distinctly denied it on my
such Part, and I tell the noble duke that I did not know that
a rumour had existed.
The motion was ultimately withdrawn.
TURKEY.---The Marquis of CLANRICARDE withdrew notice of motion respecting the affairs of Turkey and
Russia, on the ground that under present circumstances a
discussion on the subject would be inconvenient and pre-
mature.
hThe Metropolitan Hackney Carriages Bill passed
t_broug committee with amendments, including one for
the suppression of advertising vans.
Their lordships then adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY, JUNE 7.
At four o'clock there were only 33 members present, and
the house was therefore adjourned until the next day.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8.
EDUCATION.—IVIr. BARNES presented a petition from
Protestant Dissenters at Farnworth, near Bolton, against
the Education Bill.
PETERBOROUGH ELECTION.---111 r. SEYMER brought up
the report of the select committee, declaring that Mr.
Whalley was not duly elected, and that the election was
void, on the ground of treating.—Mr. GEACH, a member
of the committee, objected to the conclusion at'which they
had arrived ; the election had been fought and gained upon
purity principles, and the only evidence of
treating which
had been brought under their notice was the fact that Mr.
Whalley paid for the wine consumed at a dinner which
was given four or five days after the election.—At the
suggestion of Sir G. GREY, the discussion was postponed
until the evidence taken before the committee should have
been printed.
THE COUNT-OUT.—Mr. COBDEN complained that the
"no' House" of the preceding day had been the result of
something like a trick on the part of the servants of the
house, and that the government were also to blame, some
of its members, he said, having been actively employed in
trying to persuade members not to enter the house.—Lord
0. STUART also complained of the conduct of the minis-
terial subordinates, but said he should not be at all sur-
prised if the noble lord who was the leader of house,
the
if appealed to, would say that those subordinates had acted
upon their own authority, and had not the sanction of the
government. (" Hear," and laughter.) He should not
be at all surprised at that being the course taken, seeing
as he did what was the practice of the government of the
Present day—(hear, hear)—finding that they had a prime
minister publicly disavowing the leader of the House of
Commons. (Hear, hear.) It would, therefore, be no
matter of surprise if the leader of the House of Commons
were in his turn to disavow the course taken by his sub-
ordinates. (Cheers and laughter from the Opposition.)
The whole of this proceeding was extremely discreditable
to those who were engaged in it. It was a low and shabby
trick, and it was high time it should be put an end to.—
After a few words from the SPEAKER, the subject dropped.
IRISH LAW.—The house went into committee upon
the Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill, the details
of which, of a very technical nature, occupied the re-
mainder of the sitting, and the chairman was ordered to
report progress.
The house adjourned shortly before six o'clock.

P THURSDAY, JUNE 9.
urrrioNs.--Mr. T. PARKER presented a petition from
thet bankers of Lancaster and Preston against the Regis-
tion of Assurances 13111.—Mr. HEYWOOD presented a
petition from the attorneys of Ulverstone and Chorley in
favour of the repeal of the Attorneys' Certificate Duty.—
Mr. BRIGHT presented a petition from merchants of Man-
chester, complaining of the enormous duties levied on
English salt imported into British Idia ; and from
Newton-heath, Manchester, against then introduction of
the Board of Health.
CLARE ELECTION.--Mr. MILES reported from the se-
lect committee that Sir J. Fitzgerald and Mr. O'Brien
were not duly elected, and that the last election was void.
He also informed the house that they had agreed to a re-
solution to the effect that a system of intimidation was
organised at the last election which resulted in the riot at
Sixmile-bridge for the purpose of deterring voters from
exercising their franchise ; and that certain Romish priests
had excited the mob, and taken part in the riot.—Upon
the motion of Mr. FITZGERALD, a new writ was ordered
'for Clare. _ _ _

DURHAM ELECTION.—Mr. BRAMSTON reported from
the select committee that Lord Adolphus Vane was not
duly elected for the city of Durham, that the last election
was a void election, and that Lord Adolphus Vane was
by his agents guilty of bribery at the last election, but
that it was not proved it was done with the knowledge of
Lord Adolphus Vane.
Tug COINAGE.—In reply to
said that the demand for gold colniletions
havings Mr. J. WILSON
abated, arrange.
ments had been made for a very large coinage of silver,
and that the report that there was an unusual quantity of
ligabt gold coin in circulation was unfounded.

ASCOT HEATH RACES

TUESDAY, JUKE was a large assembly of the
nobility, surpassing in numbers the attendance on the first day

by Filbert, who won by eight lengths.
THURSDAY, JUNE 9.—The presence of the Queen made
this day the grand attraction of the meeting, when the largest
and most fashionable assemblage ever known was congregated
on the Heath. There had been during the night a good deal of
rain, and the morning was very gloomy, but, beyond one smart
shower, the weather remained fine during the day. As the ma-
jority of the public had reserved themselves for the grand day,
in order to combine a peep at royalty with a view of the excit-
ing " Cup race," in which so many of the cracks of the day
were about to meet, the chances of the weather were set aside,
and the road from the metropolis bore somewhat the aspect of
" the road in the olden time."

agst Teddington. On reaching the brick-kilns Stockwell took
up the running and soon had a lead of two clear lengths, Ted-
dington lying about the same distance behind Kingston, and
Lady Evelyn, Defiance and The Indian Warrior being quite
beaten. Near the last turn Kingston gave way, and on enter-
ing the straight running Teddington drew rapidly on Stockwell,
reaching him at the distance, when the two ran together to the
lower end of the inclosure, where Teddington had a lead of half
a length, which he maintained until within a dozen strides of
home, but running out to the left, Stockwell almost succeeded
in reaching him, and, in the final struggle, Teddington gained
the victory by a head.

but it cleared up by one o'clock, at which hour the racing com-
menced. The attendance was almost entirely confined to spe-
culators and a small muster of the aristocracy. The racing
was remarkable for the closeness with which five out of the six
events were contested.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MkNeFIESTER.—On Tuesday, the gloom which had come
over the market was a good deal relieved by the greater proba—
bility which bad arisen that the differences between Russia and
Turkey would be settled without a resort to war; and, although,
business continued dull, rather more disposition to purchase
showed itself than at the latter end of last week. On Thursday
and Friday, however, the apprehension of hostilities was re—
vived ; and a renewed feeling of depression came over the,
; so that hardly any operations have been ventured
upon. The agitation now going on for an advance of wages in.
spinning and weaving, and for a restriction of the hours of
work, for all hands, to the legal limit for women and children,
tend to render producers more indifferent than they otherwise
would be about entering into contracts. We hear of various
instances in which employers have yielded to their workpeople.
At Stockport, the millowners are willing to raise the spinning
departments fully as much as, on inquiry, they find that they
are under the average of the district, viz. five per cent in mule
and eight per cent in throstle ; leaving the wages for weaving,.
which are one to two per cent above the average, untouched.
Bat the hands reject these terms, and persist in their demand
of ten per cent all round. The consequence is, that nearly all
the mills in the town are at a stand.
IZEDS.—The rumours of war betwixt Turkey and Russia, at
this usually dull season, has, to some extent, operated in our
Cloth markets. Stocks, however, are low in the manufacturers'
hands, and prices are firm, the mills continuing in full opera-
tion. Business has been dull in the warehouses, in the home
trade, during the past week ; and the foreign houses are doing
less in goods of a general description. There is, however, a,
brisk business still doing in the heavier description of goods,
for the fall trade.

BRADFORD.—W 001: The new clips of English Wool continue
to be sold as brought to market, at prices wholly out of the
reach of the consumer; and it is to he feared, ere long, either
a great loss must be occasioned to the stapler, or a stoppage of
machinery will be inevitable. Yarns: The position of the
spinners, owing to the high price of Wool, is very embarrassing;
and the chief consideration now seems to be, what course they
shall adopt to shield themselves from loss, as the price for
Yarn bears no proportion to its cost. Pieces : There is nothing
but what is cheerless. Goods cannot be made to cover cost,
from the high prices of material and labour. The offers made
by merchants are too low for the manufacturers' acceptance,
and higher prices, especially for all Wool goods, as well as
mixed, must follow, or the supplies will be diminished.
HALIFAX.—Scarcely any goods of any description have
changed hands. In Yarns there is no alteration, either as to
demand or price; and the lull in the Wool trade continues,
without any change in the quotations.
HUDDERSFIELD.—For at least a month to come we may ex-
pect a stillness fn the Woollen trade. Merchants only buy for
immediate demand, to complete or fit up orders on hand.
Manufacturers continue to be well employed throughout the
district. If anything, rather more has been done in fancies,
manufacturers of which are generally busy. especially in plush
vestings, for which there is a good demand.

NOTTINGHAM.—We cannot report any great improvement
in either branch of our staple manufactures. The Lace trade
seems rather feeble, but the manufacturers are acting with
caution and prudence, and seem to regulate their supply en-
tirely by the demand, which being slack, tends to check pro-
duction. The Hosiery hands are pretty well employed, except
in the coarser departments, in which less work has been done,
as the demand has not been so brisk. The high price of the
raw material compels the manufacturer to be very careful.
