changes in our system of la4v.—The ATTORNEY-GENERAL
gave his ready assent to the motion, but he did not believe
that the commission would do more than dissipate a vast
deal of prejudice as to the resources of these societies, and
as to the application of their revenues.—The SOLICITOR-
GENERAL said he could not agree with the Attorney-
General that this subject should be left entirely in the
hands of the Inns of Court. They were great national
institutions ; their public rights inferred public duties,
and the manner in which they.discharged those obliga-
tions was a fit subject of inquiry by parliament.
After some further discussion the motion was agreed to.
THE TnucK SYSTEM.-Sir H. HALFORD obtained leave
to bring in a bill to restrain stoppages from payment of
wages in the hosiery manufacture, with an understanding
that the bill, after it had been read a second time, should
be referred to the committee upon Mr. C. Forster's Truck
Bill.—The house adjourned at ten minutes before six.

THURSDAY, MARCH 2.
LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL.

Mr. GEACII moved, with reference to this bill, that the
178th standing order be suspended, and that the several
petitions of merchants, manufacturers, and traders resi-
dent in Birmingham, of the directors of the Chamber of

Commerce of Manchester, and of the Manchester Com-
mercial Association, which had been presented against the
said bill, be referred to the committee appointed to con-
sider such bill.
Mr. PATTEN opposed the motion, on the ground that to
agree to the course suggested by the hon. member would
be to transgress the rules of the standing order committee,
which should never be disturbed except on very special
grounds.
After some observations from Mr. HousreLL, Mr. IL T.
LIDDELL, and Mr. CnEETKA.3I, the motion was withdrawn.
LONDON DEA INA GE.—The motion for the second read-
ing of the Great London Drainage Bill was negatived
without a division. _ _

...
PETITIONS were presented by Mr. Honsr ALL, from the
working men of St. Saviour's district, Liverpool, in favour
of the entire closing of public-houses and beer-shops on the
Sunday; from Bootle, Lancashire, against the Oaths Bill;
from certain inhabitants of Liverpool, against the Medical
Reform Bill; and from the Mechanics' Institute at Liver-
pool, in favour of a decimal system of coinage; and by Mr.
BROTHERTON, from the magistrates of the county of Lan-
caster, acting for the Hundred of Salford, and from the
magistrates of the city of Manchester, for the establish-
ment of reformatory schools.
ROMANIST ARMY CHAPLAINS.--In answer to a ques-
tion, Mr. S. HERBERT said it was the custom, whenever
troops were sent on foreign service, to appoint a sufficient
number of chaplains for their spiritual care, and upon the
present occasion there would accompany the force, which
amounted to 25,000 men, four chaplains of the Church of
England, one Presbyterian, and two Romanist priests,
making in all seven ecclesiastics.
MAIL CONTRACTS.-411 reply to a question, Sir J.
GRAHAM was understood to say that the General Screw
Steam Company had tendered the resignation of their
contract with the government for the conveyance of mails,
and that the resignation was accepted three days ago. He
could not state what arrangements the Postmaster-general
had made for the conveyance of the mails.
EMIGRANT SHIPS.—Mr. J. O'CONNELL moved for a
select committee to inquire into the recent cases of loss of
life on board.emigrant ships, and generally into the suffi-
ciency of the existing regulations for the health and pro-
tection of emigrants.—Mr. F. PEEL said the whole subject
of the passengers' law had been inquired into by a com-
mittee in 1851, which went into the whole matter, and,
in consequence of that investigation, and based upon their
report, a measure was introduced and passed in the fol-
lowing session. Upon this fact he founded his principal
objection to the motion ; another was, that some limit
must be put to government interference upon the subject,
and he thought that interference had been carried as far
as it could well be. The number of emigrants who had
left this country in 1852 and 1853, since the existing law
came into operation, was 792,983, and of that number only
510 had lost their lives by shipwreck. With respect to
the general mortality, the rate among emigrants to Aus-
tralia and Canada had been greatly reduced—in the
case to per cent. '• in those to the United States, among
whom the mortality was 8 per cent., there was a difficulty
in enforcing the provisions of the law in that country.
He recommended that the inquiries of the committee
should be confined to the preservation of life.—Mr. H. T.
LIDDELL wished to call the attention of the house to the
case of the Irish emigrants who were brought over from
Ireland to the ports of this country, and who were ex-
posed to great suffering and privation. When the right
honourable member for teeth (Sir G. Grey) held the
office of Secretary of Statelror the Home department, he
(Mr. Liddell) had felt it his duty to bring under the notice
of that right hon. gentleman the extreme inconvenience
to which the county of Northumberland' was subjected
from the introduction of shoals of Irish emigrants in the
most miserable state of poverty and destitution. It would
be an extremely proper inquiry for the commission how
these people were brought over to this country, by whom
their passage was paid, and on what terms they were
shovelled from the sister country into England.—Mr.
CARDWELL observed that legislation in this matter must
be progressive. Measures were now in progress to in-
crease the safety of emigrants, and he should be happy to
adopt any practicable suggestion for that object—Captain
ScosELL_made some remarks upon the case of the Tay-
leur, which, he said, was the most extraordinary case he
had ever heard. After some further discussion (Mr. Peel
having recalled his recommendation), the motion: was
agreed to as it originally stood.
MANAGEMENT OF THE ARUM.--A motion by Mr.
HUME, respecting the practicability and expediency of
Ctmbulidating- the different departments connected with
the civil administration of the army, which recommended
that the greater part of the authority, with reference to
the army, at present belonging to the Secretaries of State,
should be vested in the Secretary at War, and that he
should be responsible to parliament for all measures
relating to the army, led to some discussion, in the course
of which Mr. HERBERT proceeded to show the inconve-
niences likely to follow a consolidation of the offices, which
would, in his opinion, create difficulty where there was
now simplicity. Practically, we had a system which, upon
an emergency, gave very efficient results. During the
last few weeks it had been seen how the machinery worked.
A larger force had been prepared for embarkation than
the Duke of Wellington had taken with him to Waterloo,
showing. that the different departments• could work har-
moniously together.—Lord J. RUSSELL concurred in what
had fallen from the Secretary at War. Mr. Herbert had
explained the inconveniences which would attend a new
arrangement of the War Department at a moment when
the greatest exertions were required; but, with respect to
the suggestion that there should be a military secretary
attached to the Colonial Department, it had already been
taken into consideration, and he believed it was necessary
that there should be some arrangement of that kind.—The
motion was withdrawn.
ELECTION EXPENSES:—On the motion of Mr. 'HulfE,
leave was given to bring in a bill to charge the expenses
of hustings at elections upon counties and boroughs in
lieu of the candidates.
The Coasting Trade Bill and the Highways (South
Wales) Bill were read a second time.
The Valuation (Ireland) Bill went through committee.
The house adjourned at half-past 11 o'clock. •
