      Imperial Parliament

      IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

      House Of Lords.—Friday, Nov. 19. The Lor...

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Friday , Nov . 19 . The Lord Chancellor too k , his seat at five o ' clock . BUSINESS OF THE SESSION . The Marquis of Clanricarde gave notice that he would on Monday next ask the noble earl , the First Lord of the Treasury what business he intended to introduce before the Christmas recess . QUARANTINE LAWS . The Earl of Maliiesbury , in answer to the Earl of St . Germans , stated that negotiations were pending with foreign powers respecting quarantine arrangements ; and until their conclusion he could not lay the table certain papers demanded by the noble lord .

      upon The Earl of Lonsdale , in reply to another question from the Earl of St . Germans , said " that quarantine regulations were observed at present with regard to ships arriving from Dantzic , where the cholera was now ragiuff . In the case of the West India mail packet , which had bean alluded to , orders had been sent for the release of the passengers , and for medical attendance upon the sick . The Earl of Malmesbury , observing upon a remark made by Lord Stanley ( of Alderly ) , repudiated on the part of the government any idea of obtaining the total abolition of the quarantine . REGULATION OF RAILWAYS .

      Lord Redesdale , pursuant to notice , rose to ask whether it was the intention of government to introduce a bill for the better regulation of railways ? Some measure was required -which would enable the government to interfere in the management of railways more than they could do at present . It was impossible for any one knowing anything of these concerns to look at the constant progress of amalgamation without apprehension as to the consequences that might arise over several large .

      districts of country . Most serious caution was required in order to protect the public against the consequences of these amalgamations . A due degree of control could be obtained by some general measure . On another point there ought to be some general measure . On another point there ought to some controlling authority , to insist upon certain trains being put upon the lines . At present the manner in which the companies managed their trains was , in many instances not for the convenience ofthe public , but for their inconveience . Trains

      were so started as to compel the public to use certain lines , which they would not otherwise do . ( Hear , hear . ) This was carried to an extent which was really a gross fraud upon parliament . Persons went by a certain train on one line , and at a certain point they found that the train which ought to be connexion with it and to carry them forward , had started five or ten minutes before they arrived . It would be no dangerous or unjust interference with the railway companies if parliament were to sanction a provision , vesting the power in a government board , on the representation of the inhabitants of any district , or of a particular company , to direct that a train should be run on a particular line at a certain hour , to meet certain other arrangements . Some regulation was also required to enforce the punctuality of the trains .

      Lord Colchester , the Earl of Clanricarde , Lords Granville and Beaumont supported ; but The Earl of Derby observed that what his noble friend had said about the number of bills was in consequence of what had fallen from the noble lord ( Redesdale ) However desirable it might be to have one code of regulations applying to all railway companies past , present , and to come , and by ex post facto legislation , to lay down rules for the internal management of all railway companies , it would be impossible for any government to carry such a measure through parliament ,

      and if not impossible , it would be a mischievous interference with railway companies , most of whom were much better judges of what was best for the convenience of the public than the government could be , and were still more capable of attending to the management of their lines . He certainly , therefore , could not hold out any expectar tionthat the government would undertake to forma series of regulations to prevent any inconvenience or accident , or which might seriously interfere with the powers and priveleges already conferred by parliament upon the existing companies .

      THE WELLINGTON FUNERAL . The Earl of Derby , in moving the adjournment of the house , made some observations respecting the national ceremonial of the previous day ; and in paying ' an earnest tribute to the memory of the Duke of "Wellington , did not omit to notice the orderly conduct of the crowds assembled to witness the procession—conduct which would go forth as an example to foreign nations of the blessings of popular self-government , controlled by a constitutional monarchy . The house immediately adjourned .

      HOUSE OF COMNONS--Friday , Nov . 19 . The Speaker took the chair shortly before four . TURKISH LOAN . Lord Stanley , in answer to Dr . Layard , stated that the Turkish minister who was charged with the negociation of the recently proposed loan , had deviated from his instructions , and , in consequence , his acts were disavowed by his own government , and the loan refused . His Lordship believed , however , that the matter would be satisfactorily settled eventually . NAVIGATION LAWS . Mr . Henley , in answer to Mr . Eicardo , said that some few papers had been received on the subject of the bearing of the maritime laws , and that they differed somewhat in the view taken of the question . The government had no objection to produce the papers , if desired .

      CONVOCATION . Mr . Walpole , in answer to Sir J . V . Shelly , stated that with regard to the convocation , the government did not intend to deviate from the usual course , which was , not to interfere until the convocaion required to continue its sittings for the purpose of making canions and ordinances . jir . villier ' s motion . —notice op the government . The Chancellor of . the Exchequer gave the following notice of amendment on the motion of Mr . Villier ' s , which is . fixed * for Tuesday : —" That the house acknowledge , with satisfaction , that the

      cheapness of provisions , occasioned by recent legislation , has mainly contributed to improve the condition , and that unrestricted competition having been adopted after due deliberation as the principle of our commercial system , the house is of opinion that it is the duty of the government to unreservedly adhere to that policy in those measures of financial ond administrative reform which under the circumstances of the country they may deem it their" duty to introduce . " ( Cheers . (

      RAILWAY AMALGAMATION . In answer to a question from Mr . Labouchere , with regard to railway amalgamation , the right hon . gentleman considered that a committee of inquiry should be appointed on the subject , whicli was one of the highest importance . EXAMINATION 0 _ DIPLOMATIC AGENTS . Lord Stanley , in reply to Mr .-Ewart , stated that a system of educational examination for candidates , for diplomatic offices had been drawn up , but would not be published yet , as it was likely to receive some modification .

      EDUCATION IN IRELAND . Lord naas , in answer to Mr . B . Osborne , disavowed , on the part of the government any intention to alter the system of national education in Ireland during the present session .

      THE CAPE . Lord J . Russell wished to know from the Secretary of State for the Colonies what was the nature and character of the recent inteligence from the Cape of Good Hope , and whether dissatisfaction had not been felt at the non-arrival of the recent constitution at the Cape ? Sir , J . Pakington , was happy to be almost able to announce the successful conclusion of the Kaffir War . The Chancellor oi ? the Exchequer thought that at least ten days' notice should be given to hon . members .

      CALL OP THE HOUSE . Mr . Hume having read the paragraph in her Majesty ' s speech with regard to " unrestricted competition , " moved for a call of the whole house on the occasion of Mr . Yilliers ' s motion on the 23 rd instant The hon . member explained the nature of the rule which gave him power to make the motion , and quoted precedents for the practice . Lord J . Russei , in supporting the motion , expressed a similar opinion : —

      The house then divided—For the motion - - - - - |* 147 Against it - - - - - - 142—5 The motion was accordingly carried . The other orders were then disposed of , and the house adjourded at 20 minutes past 7 o ' clock . The motion of Sir A . Cockburn concerning Major Beresford and the Derby election was withdrawn .

      Death Op The Earl Op Shrewsbury.—We Have...

      Death op the Earl op Shrewsbury . —We have to record the demise of this nobleman , which took place on the 9 th inst . at Naples after a short illness . The Earl had been sojourning on the Continent during the last two years , and was recently at Palermo . Accidents at jese" Wellington Funeral . —A man named John Dooley , aged 5 % years , died on Thursday from the effects of injury he sustainetVwhile endeavouring to get his seat in St . PauWchurchyard , on the previous niggt . It appears that he was knocked down by a . cart which passed over his body , whereby he received such fearful injury that he expired in the accident ward of St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital . Another accident happened to a female named Eliza White , aged 45 , while in the crowd at the end of the Old Bailey . She is going on favourably at present .

      An inquest was held yesterday , on the body of David Lerigo , who fell from the parapet of Messrs . Drummond's bank , while the procession was passing . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . " Burglary and Murderous Attack . —Early on Friday morning , a daring burglary , accompanied with great violence , occurred at a toll-bar , situate on the Sheffield , and Bantry turnpike-road , near the village of Brinsworth . The bar was placed on a lonely part of tbe road , no other dwelling being within nearly half a mile . The keeper was a man named Hansley , and his wife , both of whom were about

      60 years of age . About two o ' clock on Friday morning , Hansley was aroused by a cry of " gate , " from a man with an ass . He got up , let him through , when he was attacked by another man , who had lain concealed . The keeper struggled with his assailants for some time , and at length freeing himself from them , rushed into the house and seized a pistol which lay loaded on the mantlepiece . They disarmed him before he had time to discharge its contents at them . His wife had previously let slip a dog at them , but though extremely ferocious ot other times , he refused to attack the , assailants of his master , but frisked about them with the playfulness of a lamb . The keeper they beat about the head and body until he fell insensible to the ground , mc mnnri nnc-nri-f-f-Qvi-nnr flin -rrrnlln -fl ^ rt-n nn / 1 J ? ,,, _ ,.. ! i .,,.. „ -J ? j . 1 . _ i his blood bespattering the wallsfloorand furniture of the

      , , apartment . They then turned to the woman , threatening to cut her throat if she did not discover to them the money and valuables which the house contained . They ransacked the rooms in search of these , but were disappointed in the amount of booty , as the monthly receipts happened to have been paid over a few days before . They took with them about 41 . 10 s . in money , the keeper ' s watch , and some silk handkerchiefs . On leaving they locked the couple in the house threatening if they made any alarm to return and murder them . Assistance came about six o ' clock , when the door was forced open , and medical help , obtained . The man is very seriously injured , and it is feared it will terminate fatally . The men were dressed in navigators" attire .

      Smuggling . —A smuggler lugger , said to be armed with eight gnus , and manned by 36 desperate fellows , has been dropping quantities of tobacco on the Dublin coast . A large quantity was discovered the other day by the coast guard on Dalkey Island .
