House or COMSIONS, Tuesday.—Mr. Rylands gave notice that to mmrrow he will ask the Prime Minister whether, in the event of the Royal Titles Bill becoming law, it is his intention to advise her Majesty to delay issuing her proclamation announcing her change of title until after her return from the continent. Questioned by Mr. Anderson, Mr Disraeli said the reasons for the Queen leaving England were strictly domestic, ant every arrangement had been made to avoid inconvenience to the business of the nation through the absence of her Majesty. The Premier having also answered a question from Mr. Sullivan on the same subject, Mr. Meldon submitted a motion complaining of the restricted nature of the borough franchise in Ireland, and the opportunity was not lost upon the Irish members, who opened their stock budget of grievances, with special charges of neglect against the Government  HOUSE OF Cost:teas, Wednesday.—Mr. Butt, in moving the second reading of the Land Tenuie (Ireland) Bill, said his conviction was that, until the land question in that count' y was settled, there never would be peace and contentment in Ireland. The bill, he stated, proposed the extension to the whole.of Ireland of the Ulster tenantiligt t, as it existed before the passing of the Land ct.—Lord Elcho said it appeared nothing would satisfy Irish tepresentatives till the title to the land had been practically transferred to the tenants.—On behalf  of the Government, Sir M. H. Beach strongly opposed the m.•asure, contending that the good ter•ant h. d sufficient security already, and that the bill was reahy intended to benefit men who did not pay the rent, and who allowed the farina to deteriorate.

The University of Oxford Bill was committed pro forma for the inser tion of amendments proposed by the Marquis of Salisbury. The Duke of Richmond moved the second reading of the Royal Titles Bill. The Duke of Somerset argued that the Title of Empress had too much of an autocratic flavour to be acceptable to the people of England. Earl Grey eould not assent to the assumption of a new title which would overshadow the old historic title of Queen or King. Lord Lawrence did not think that the new title would have any effect upon the masses of the people of India. Earl Granville complained of the silence of Ministers on the subject, attributing it to a feeling tuat the less said about the Bid the !..etter. Be could not reconcile Lord Derby's declaration on the opening the session that the measure would raise no constitutional question with Mr. Disraeli's statement that grave political considerations had influenced the Government in the matter. The Bill was read a second tune.  HOUSE OF Comma, Thursday.—Several petitions were presented in support of Mr. Fawcett's motion on the subject of the Royal Titles Bill. Mr. Bourke having answered a question relating to Piinoe Bismarck and Count Arnim, Mr. Disraeli said, in reply to Mr. Rylands that in the event of the Royal Titles Bill becoming law such advice would be given to her Majesty about the issue of the royal preclamation as would be consistent with her dignity and the welfare of the nation. In answer to Mr. Anderson, the Prime Minister stated that the Queen had been absent from the dominions twice during her reign without any interruption to public business. Questioned by Mr. Briggs, Lord Sandon explained that a pupil tea.;her had been dismissed from the National school of St Andrew's, at Blackburn, not for attending a Dissenting Sunday school, but because he neglected his duty. In reply to Mr. A M'Arthur, the Home secretary thought it would have been right, as well as consistent with common sense and Christian charity, to have read the burial service over the body of a farmer's wife, near Leicester, who had committed suicide while suffering from "temporary insanity." The Ilcalse then went into committee on the Merchant Shipping Bill.
