PARLIAMENTARY. The Lord Chancellor gave notice last night that he would move on Friday for the appointment of 4 1 Committee to consider the marriage law of Ireland, and that he meant to introduce a measure on the subject of the bankrupt laws ; while one referring to the Ecclesiastical Courts would be brought into the other House of Parliament. Lord Aberdeen gave, in the House of Lords, the same explanation of his speech to Count St. Aulaire which has already been given in the public papers. He did not say that he had no objection to make to the Frencn occupying Algiers, but he had no observation to make. The Earl of Minto vindicated himself from some charges, as he had gathered them from the newspapers, which he supposed Sir C. Napier had made against him in the House of Commons. His Lordship was properly takers to task for violating their Lordships' orders, by irregularly noticing what had occurred elsewhere. His Lordship read a letter from Admiral Stopford, contradicting an assertion which Sir C. Napier was supposed to have made in the House of Commons. Sir Hugh Campbell, in the House of Commons, gave notice of his intention to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the unhappy circumstances of the Scotch Church. Sir R. Peel laid on the table the Earl of Aberdeen's despatch to our Minister at Paris, and at the same time declared that Count St. Aulaire's misapprehension of what the Earl of Aberdeen had said was quite unintentional. In answer to Mr. Wood, Sir Robert Peel said he thought the subject of Banks of Issue had been enough investigated, and that the Government would propose a measure for their regulation, if it thought that necessary, on its own authority. Mr. Ferrand renewed and repeated his attacks on the manufacturers, but though the Honourable Member was extremely vehement in his declamation and gestures, slapping his thigh with great force, be was comparatively little attended to. Even the squires are ashamed of his assistance, and he will soon sink to the level of obscurity. Some persons had compared him to Mr. D'lsraeli ; but though the latter prodigiously overrated himself, he is a scholar and a man of letters. Mr. Ferrand is merely a gentleman, endowed with a wonderfully good opinion of himself, with capacious lungs and a loud voice. Mr. Villiers stated that the declaration of the Manchester manufacturers had received about thirty additional signatures. Mr. Fielden could not exonerate the manufacturers, but he showed that the landlords were as bad as the manufacturers. Mr. O'Connell, in moving for a return of the arms registered in the county of Down, described to the House a brutal murder which a party of Orangemen had committed, and for which, as Lord Eliot admitted, the Jury had not very properly acquitted the persons who had been brought to trial for the offence. Lord Eliot deplored the continuance of party spirit in Ireland, and declared that the LordLieutenant would do all in his power to discourage it. In a Committee of Supply, after Mr. Williams had objectedAnunriArmy number erEot t os keepingma tesere voted. so many troops at home, and after a observations had been made, the principal The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at One oC'iock.
