IDAN, APRIL 28

Petitions in favour of -closing beershops on the Lord's-
day were presented by Mr. DUNLOP, from 11loss.dreet
Wesleyan and Canning-street Presbyterian congregations,
Liverpool; by Mr. KERSTAAW, from the cmigregation of
Trinity Chapel, Wavertree, Lancashire ; and Mr. GREENE,

TRANSPORT OP TR•OOPS.—In reply to a question by
Sir J. WAtsn, whether steam power could not be gene-
' rally applied to the conveyance by sea of • cavalry and
artillery, Sir J. GRAixAM slated what had been accom-
plished since the Bth of February—namely, that 830
officers, 24,119 men, and 2,259 horses, with 2,000 tons of
provisions and commissariat stores and 3,000 tons •Of
ordnance stores, had been conveyed .stores,
their destinationin
the East ;'ghat the number ,of transports employed,
iu-
eluding steamers, was 92, of sidling vessels 78, and horse-
' transports 70. Considering the distance to which this
force of men and horses had 'teen moved and the tune
, occupied, he was confident, he,said, that at no former
iperiod in the history of this country, had such an operation
theen performed in so short a space of time. The Admi-
-ralty, he subsequently added, had come to the conclusion
!that, generally, steam-vessels were not applicable to the
=transport of cavalry.
_THE EASTERN WAR.—The .snlAect of the war in the
:East was introduced in the form of a variety of questions
addressed to the members of the. Government, the details
.of which ran to such length that .we can merely glance
,at t..hem.—Mr. S. HERBERT, in -reply to Mr. SEYMOUR,
,said every possible arrangement for the comfort of the
troops, in the East had been made, end all statements to
thecontrary were exaggerated, if notwholly erroneous.—
Mr. CoLIDEN wished to point out -the importance, in a
commercial point of view, of the edict which was pub-
lished for the expulsion of the Greeks Ifrom Turkey, an
opemtion.which he compared with the -revocation of the
edict of Nantes.—Mr. M. GIBSON, at some length, endea-
voured to •exculpate the Emperor of Rnesia from the
charge of having improperly detained. Sr. H. Seymour's
luggage.—Lord J. RUSSELL, in laying,on:the table papers
relative to-the6eclaration of war against Russia, observed
that with regacei to the luggage of Sir H. Seymour there
had teen ,no :scieure or confiscation, but certain valuable
effects 'belonging to that gentleman had been prevented
from being placed .on board the vessel which Sir H. Sey-
mour's agent heidindicated.
Buznaa7.—Xlie Canterbury, Cambridge, Aingston-
upon-Hull, Maldoo, and Barnstable Bribery Prevention
Bills, which stood .1.4. r a second reading, were, 'ou the
motion of Lord J. RUceELL, postponed till the 12th .May.
WArs AV* ME,4ll2.—The house went into a,comntittee
of Ways and Means, when, on the motion of Mr. Wra,son,
a vote of £16,024400 F,sehequer-bills was agreed to.

attention to the circumstance, that some difficulty had
occasionally oecurre4l with reference to days of public
solemnity. On the occasion of the death of the Duke •of
Wellington the then government had to bring in a bill to
place the funeral day ou the same footing as Sunday. Last
Christmas falling on a Sunday, and observed on a Monday,
led again to a difficulty ; and the same thing occurred
twith regard to the Day of HumWation last Wednesday,
ffe wished to ask, therefore, if the noble lord had any ob-
jection to bring in a bill giving power to the Queen in
Cvancil to place any day of solemnity !that might occur on
the same footing as Sunday.—Lord 1. RUSSELL said it
was *e intention of the government to bring in a bill for
that purpose. The house adjourned at half-past eight.
