HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY, JuLY 15. Some petitions were presented, and other business transacted in the earlier part of the evening, but noble lords spoke in so low a tone that it was not possible to report the nature of the business. POOR-LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL. The Marquis of Lansdowne moved the third reading of this bill. Lord Brougham objected to the bill being further proceeded with this session, as, without its aid, the law could be administered until next session and during the recess and next session they would have more time to consider the new powers which this bill proposed. The Bishop of London took the opportunity to pass a warm eulogium on Mr. Chadwick, and hoped he would not be allowed to go unrewarded. The Earl of Ellenborough coincided with the prelate's remarks. The Marquis of Lansdowne made a fewtemarks in support of the bill, but he was for the most part inaudible. After a few words from the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Brougham, Lord Monteagle, Lord Redesdale, and Earl Grey, The house divided— For the third reading. 32 I A?inst it. ?0—22 A -t i ns t i' I The bill was then passed, after which the other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned at seven. I FRIDAY, JULY 16. The house met at 5 o'clock. The Marquis of Lansdowne informed the house that the Commons had declared their assent to their lord- ships' resolution on the subject of messages from the Commons and, further, that th c Con) gnified their willingness to receive messages f B K i)fdships when communicated by one Master i?j??M? instead of two, as heretofore. Lord Brougham presented a petition FIm r. Robert Owen, praying for inquiry into his pla? ??r ameliorating the present system of society. His lordship eulogized the petitioner as the originator of the system of infant schools in this country. 1. A number of bills were then brought up from the Commons in one message, according to the new arrange- ment, in place of a separate message for each bill, as formerly, their titles being read by the clerk at the table from a list delivered with the bills so brought up. Lord Campbell then moved the commital of the Muscle Fishery (Scotland) Bill. Lord Brougham protested against the principle of af- fording protection to so inferior a species of fish as the muscle, but did not consider it necessary to take the sense of the house upon it. Lord Campbell assured his noble and learned friend, that lightly as he esteemed this species of fish, muscle beds constituted very valuable property in some parts of Scotland, and that in the city of St. Andrew's the corpo- ration derived a considerable revenue from them. It was therefore highly necessary to afford them the pro- tection now proposed. The bill then went through committee, and was re- ported. The Holyhead Harbour Bill was read a third time and passed. The New Zealand (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. After some conversation across the table, which was inaudible in the gallery, The Public Works and Drainage (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. The Navigation (No. 2) Bill passed through committee. Several other bills on the table were advanced a stage. The house adjourned at a quarter before 7 o'clock.
