HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.
COMMITTEE ON RAILWAY BILLS.—Mr. P. THOMSON pre-
sented the report of the select committee on the best course in
respect of railway bills, where there were several bills having
different lines, but.ths same terminus. The report was ordered
to be printed.
NEW RAII.WAY BtLLs.—The following railway bills were
read a second time:—The London and Brighton (Stevenson's
line;) the Derby and Birmingham; the Great Western and
Cheltenham; the Bristol and Exeter;; the Midland Counties ;
the Ulster; and the Sheffield and Rotheram.
DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.—Mr. JOHN MAXWELL
'brought up a report from the Dublin Election Committee,
stating that they hadenet that day and found that since they had
last met Sir Rufane Shawe Donkin, who had been originally a
member of the committee, had vacated his seat in parliament.
LONDON AND GRAVESEND RAILWAY BlLL.—Tills bill was
lost on the second reading, by a majority of 115; the numbers,
on a•division, being, ayes 62, noes 177.
BISHOPRICK OF DURHAM.—In answer to a question from Mr.
Hume, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in the absence of
Lord John Russell, said that it was the intention of goVernment
to brine- forward a bill immediately to regulate the whole subject
of the bishoprick of Durham—(hear, hear)—in furtherance of
the recommendations of the report of the Ecclesiastical Com-
mittee, which report he hoped shortly to lay upon the table of
the house. It was intended by the bill to make, an equitable
adjustment of the present emoluments of the see, so as to secure
to the bishop a suitable and becoming income, at the same time
that it was proposed to relieve the office from all the civil duties
with which that bishoprick had hitherto been encumbered.
(Loud cheers.)
IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.—Mr. O'LOGHLEN,
in moving the second reading of this bill, took a general review
of the report presented by.the commissioners of inquiry. The
inferences he drew from this document were, that the Irish cor-
porations were, in many instances, of no use to the community,
in others, injurious; in all, insufficient and inadequate, to the
proper purposes and ends of such institutions. The public,dis-
trust in them attached to their officers and nominees; and the
result was a failure of that respect for, and confidentie in; the;
ministers of justice and police which ought to subsist in all well"
regulated communities. The hon. and learned member then
stated various particulars, beginning with the corporation of
Dublin, to show the manner in which the public property had
been misapplied. After dwelling at considerable length upon
the details, he came to the consideration of the remedy, and sug-.
Bested, according to the provisions of his bill, that the house,
should sanction a system founded upon the same principle as was
adopted in the cases of England and Scotland. In furtherance
of this plan he proposed that the qualifications in the great towns:
should be a £lO yearly rent, but in the small towns a smaller
qualification ; and he defied all those who admitted the necessity
of reform to suggest a substitute more likely to accomplish that
end than the bill which he had presented. .
Sir R. PEEL commenced by expressing an anxiety to state
his views before a final decision was to be pronounced upon the
measure. He then entered at large into the history of the cor-
porations, and denied the proposition of the hon. and learned
gentleman that they were all founded upon popular principles.
On the contrary, he maintained that many, of them were esta-
blished expressly for the confirmation of English government
in Ireland—forty-five, or forty-six of the charters were granted
mainly for the support of the protestant interest in Ireland.
After taking a comprehensive view of this part of the subject,
the right hon. baronet proceeded to examine the details of the
bill, and to point out .discrepancies between some of its pro-
visions and those of the English bill. This speech, which con-
sisted necessasify for the greater partof minute and complicated
statements, was remarkable for its perspicuity and force. He
strongly resisted the measure of the government, as unsuitable
to the general habits of the Irish population, and concluded
with the following emphatic appeal to the House :—" We ask
you, as you value religious peace—we ask you, as you value
equal law—we ask you, as you value the security and integrity
of this great empire—(loud cheers from all sides of the house)
—not to lend the sanction of your authority—of your legislative
and mural authority, to the constitution of these normal schools,
in which the science of agitation shall be taught. But, above
all, we demand of you respectfully, but firmly, that you will not
make the graduates in that school, and the professors of the
science of agitation, the chosen instruments for wielding the
civil force, and for dispensing public justice.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that the
danger of adopting the measure would be far less than the
danger of rejecting it; and after combating some of the posi-
tions of Sir Robert Peel, asked bow those who had supported
the Irish parliamentary reform bill, could refuse to support cor-
poration reform ?

Lord STANLEY observed that there were now two plans before
the House, and it was for the House and the country to'decide
upon their respective merits. He justified the conduct of those
who, like himself, had supported the Irish parliamentary reform
bill, but who doubted "whether it was expedient that in every
town in Ireland they should run the risk—nay, should incur the
certainty—of mixing up with the administration of her munici-
pal, affairs those political affairs which they desired to keep
separate from them, but with which, unfortunately, they were
certain to be mixed up in the state of political and religious
parties in Ireland." The right hon. gentleman had assumed
that the bill of the government would be a good measure for
Ireland; but he was bound to prove, instead of assuming, that
it would be a good measure, and not a curse to that country.
After some remarks from Mr. Shell and other membeis, the
second reading was agreed to without a division.
Sir R. PEEL. stated that on Monday, on the order of tha day
for going into committee on the bill, he Would Move an instruc-
tion to the committee to adopt his plan. if the House should
reject that motion, he would not give the government much.
trouble with respect to the details of the measure.—Adjourned.

The premiums for endowing existing children are made re-
turnable, if desired, in case they do not attain the age of endow-
ment. •

The parties endowing future children will be entitled to four-
fifths of the profits, the above premiutns being more than suffi-
cient to enable the Society to fulfil its engagements.
Proposals for effecting Endowments may be had at the Office.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY.
Lord Ellenborough, the Earl of 'Westmorland, and the
Bishop of Llandaff, presented petitions against the Ecclesiasti-
cal courts' consolidation bill. The Bishop of Gloucester pre-
sented a petition from the inhabitants of Cheltenham, praying
that travelling on the sabbath day by railroads, might not be
permitted. Lord Teynhain' presented a petition from Mary
Ann Booth, complaining oCcertain magistrates who had caused
her to be imprisoned, on a charge whith the petitioner alleged
was unfounded, because the grand jury had ignored tho.bill
presented. against her. After some discussion the petition was
laid on the table:

The Forest of Dean bill, the Exchequer bills bill, and the
transfer of Aids' bill were severally' read a third time and
passed.
PRISON DISCIPLINE..---The Duke of RICHMOND asked Lord
Melbourne whether the inspector of prisons throughout the
.country had transmitted their reports to the Home Secretary, in
conforMity with the act of last session, relating to a uniformity
of prison discipline ? Lord Melbourne was not awate that th-e
report alluded to had been received, but asSured.the Duke that
the Secretary of State was Anxious to carry that act into exe-
cution.

York and North Midland railway bill was read a second time
and referred to a committee.
Mr. D. Al. STEWART moved the second reading of the Lon-
don and Blackwall railway bill.—Agreed to.
COMMITTEES ON RAILWAYS.—Mr. P. THOMSON moved a
series of resolutions; founded 'on the recommendation of the
select committees' of Which he had'been the chairinan. The re-
solutions he had to propose WOtiM be to the effect; first, that the
house should give' in;tructions to whatever committees a rail-
way bill might be referred to, to inquire into the several points
adverted t ) in the various petitions, as subjects on which the
house should have information ; the second resolution referred
to divisions in committee, and the attendance of members; the
third regarded giving time for the nomination of list com-
mittees, to which the several railway bills, where these were
competing bills, referred; and with a view to iidjustment be-
tween the parties, that bills for the second time should be re-
ferred to the same cotmuittee ; the fourth resolution empowered
the house to refuse' to give further tithe to committees for.
making reports, except under 'special circumstances, in order
that no delay should take plebe in bringing the hills before the
house; the fifth and last was, that the house, whenever there
should be three railway bills before it in a state for the further
consideration of the report for the committee, would take the
discussions on Tuesdays, prior to the notice of motions, or other
private business.
The resolutions and 18 regulations for the government of com-
mittees were put and carried.
MEDICAL WITNESSES AT CORONERS' INQUESTS.

Mr. WAKLEY moved for leave to bring in abill to provide
for the payment of medical witnesses at coroners' inquests. He.
did not say that the time of medical men was of more import-
ance to themselves than time was to other men; but the duty
they had to perform was exceedingly important, and the know-
ledge most difficult to acquire. A medical man bad sometimes
to make a post-mortem examination, which lasted for 12 or 14
hours, and et when he laid the result before the coroner and
claimed compensation, the reply of the coroner was, that he had
no power to award the,slightest remuneration. The subject to
them was not so important as•tt was to the public. The in-
quests which had taken place in town and out of town, within a
few days, showed the importance of the subject. He alluded to
the inquests held on the bodies of persons who had died in cott:
sequence of having taken quack medicines, and would say thai
that was a subject which required the interference of govern-
ment. He only put it to the honse what would be the result if
medical men refused to attend ? What verdict would be re-
turned? None, and the ends of justice would be defeated, as it
had been in numerous cases. Looking at all the circumstances
of the case, he trusted the house would not refuse to sanction
some small remuneration to medical men engaged on slch a
duty. The hon. member concluded by moving for leave to
bring in the bill.

Tlie ATTORNEY-GENERAL, thought the bill would be exceed-
ingly useful, and was fully aware that justice had been defeated,
owing to the coroners not having the power to enforce at-
tendance.
In answer to a question from Sir R. INGL IS,
Mr. WAx LEY said that it would be a matter for future consi-
deration whether the payment should be made out of the county
or other rates.

Mr. Warburton, Sir G. Strickland, and Mr. A. Trevor, spoke
n favour of the bill.

Mr. JERv►s said he believed that, according to law, if a
coroner issued a summons, with orders to the churchwarden to
serve it on a medical man, remuneration could be claimed by
him.

Mr. WA K LEY said thal might be the fact to a certain extent ;
but if the hon. and learned member looked back be would find
that, though a summons was issued, the coroner could not com-
pel a medical man to attend.

Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
ENTRY OF TROOPS INTO CRACOW.

Sir STRATFORD CANNING for the purpose of putting a ques-
to the noble lord (Palmerston) relative to a passage in a letter
which he had seen in the public papers, stating that a corps of

He would read the passage, which was to the following effect:—
