HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY.
The Bishop of Oxvoftn presented a petition against the
dnion of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.
Lord STAN-LEY 'presented a petit on agapst the Chari-
table Trusts Bill from the Preston Religious Tract So-
ciety. He trus exl that the noble lord on the woolsack
would state his intention of reconsidering this class of
charities, because if he exempted them the opposition to
be bill would be materially mitigated.
The LordCHANcsu.ort said he had received repeated
spplicroions of a similar nature, and had uniformly sated
his intention of taking the representations made in them
into consideration. He felt bound to do so, and in the
trext.stage of the bill would state the course which he in-
tendt d to pursue with respect to such societies.
Lord RROUGHAM proceeded to lay before their lord-
ships a series of resolutions relating to private bills legis-
lation.

The Railway Deposits Bill went through committee.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MosnAr.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had a motion on the paper
for the discharge of Mr. O'Brien from the custody of
the Serjeant at Arms, but in consequence of the peremp-
. tory wishes of the hon. member, he should not bring it
forward.
Sir It. PEEL, after an elaborate speech on the gallant
achievements of the heroes of the Sutlej, proposed that
the House should agree to a resolution authorising Her
Majesty to direct an annual pavmtnt of £3,000 out of the
Consolidated Fund, to Henry Viscount Hardinge, during
his life, and such pension to con.inue during the lives of
Lord Hardinge's two surviving heirs malt. He also pro-
posed a pension of £2,600 a year to Lord Gough, during
his lifetime, and afterwards during the lifetime of his two
succeeding male heirs. He believed the East India
Company would, with ti eir usual liberality, also grant a
similar if not a greater pension to Lord Hardinge and
Lord Gough. If they did so, he thought it would not be
necessary to pay the government pensions until after the
death of the noble lords. He trusted the motion would
be unanimously agreed to.
Lord F. EGERTON seconded the motion in a short
address, in which be passed a high eulogium on the
met its of the two gallant noblemen who were the subjects
of it.
Lord J. Iltrasem. said the resolution proposed by the
right hon. baronet had his entire support.
After some further discussion, the resolutions of Sir R.
Peel were agreed to.
The House then went into Committee on the Corn
Bill, after a slashing attack upon the measure by Lord
GEORGE BENTINCK, and an elaborate speech in its sup-
port from Sir R. PEEL. Some motions of obstruction
to the further progress of the Bill having been negatived
by majorities of 88 to ill, it was agreed to proceed in
Committee on Tuesday; receive the report on Friday;
and take the third reading on Monday.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY.
The Earl of RIPON moved the address in answer to
Her Majesty's mesßage respecting the pensions proposed
-to be best' wed on Viscount Hardin(r'e and Lord Gough.
After some discussion in which the Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Fitzwilliam, and
Lord Brougham took part, the question on the address
was put and agreed to.
_ _

Lord CAREW then moved for copies of a correspond-
ence between Lord Heytesbury and himself respecting
the appuin'went to the office of cwitos tolulorum of the
county of Wexford, and complained that he, being Lord
Lieutenant of that county, had not been appointed custos
roluloo um on the first vacancy. No person could say
that he was incompetent to fill the office, and he therefore
did not claim it as a favour, but as a matter of right.
The Earl of St. GERMANS replied that the Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Ireland posse-sed the right of appointin2
whomsoever be chose to the office in question, which was
not invariably unit,d with the Lord-Lieutenancy of the
county. He had, however, no objection to produce the
correspondence. _

A desultory debate followed, in which Lord STANLEY,
the Marquis of NORMANBY, the Duke of RICHMOND,
and the Duke of WELLINGTON took part, and the motion
was agreed to.
The Railway Companies' Dissolution Bill was read a
third time, and the house adjourned.
