Parliament. I N The House Of Commons ©N ...
With respect to the wine duties it was impossible to form any trustworthy judgment as to the effect of the reduction until the Wine Licenses Bill' was in operation . Lord John Rttsselx replied to questions ' put by 'different members . As it had been thought expedient that the Persian , mission should be under the Foreign-office Sir H . Rawlinson had resigned j the relations between the Shah and her Majesty were of the most friendly nature . With respect to the inquiry of Mr . Poetescue , he observed , there were reports in the Foreign-office from our Consuls of cruelties , and even tortures perpetrated by the police in Sicily . In reply to Mr . Fitzgerald , he stated that the condition of the Christians in Turkey were such that the Empeeok of Russia could not remain a silent spectator ; andafter consultation with the other Powers , they were
, of opinion that it might be proper to make inquiry as to the real state of the Christians in Turkey . The Grand Vizier , Redschid Pasha , had been authorised to proceed for that purpose to Bpumelia , and the other Turkish provinces . Mr . Whiteside obtained leave to bring : in a Bill to consolidate and amend the laws relating to the powers of leasing and improving land in Ireland . The Universities and Colleges Estates Bill was read a second time . The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to . The House then went into Committee upon the remaining Army Estimates . The various votes underwent much discussion , and were ordered to be reported . In the House of Lords ( reassemblinq ; on Monday night after the Whitsuntide recess ) the Bank of Ireland Bill was read a second time ,
and the Public Improvements Bill was read a third time and passed . The Trustees , Mortgagees , & c , Bill passed through Committee . The Report of Amendments to the Ecclesiastical Courts Jurisdiction Bill was brought up and received . The Wine Licenses Bill was brought up from the Commons , and read a third time . In the House of Commons , Mr . Cowpeb , in reply to Mr . Bowyee and Lord Hotham , intimated that inquiries were in progress which , although not completed , left some hope that it will not be necessary to recast the great bell in the clock tower . On the order of the day for going- into committee on the Reform Bill , Mr . Hutt rose / according to notice * to move an instruction to the Committee " that they have power to provide increased facilities for polling at elections in the United Kingdom . " Objection was taken upon the point of order , first by the Speaeee , and afterwards by Lord John Russeli ,,
and , after a brief conversation , it was ruled tlrat the mstruc tion could not be put , on the ground that the Committee already possessed the power of dealing with the question to which it referred . Mr . Geiffith had also given notice of moving an " instruction / 1 with regard tff Jboroughs Jiaviiig" a population below 7000 ; andlr , Bentinok of moving an " instruction" not to proceed further with the Bill till provision had been made for giving to the counties in England that share iii the representation to which they may be shown to be entitled by population and by property ; both of which were ruled by the Speaker to be out of order on the same ground , and the first of the two was accordingly abandoned . Mr . Ben-TINCK , however , insisted that his instruction was within the spirit of the rules of the House , and intimated his intention of dividing upon it . He eventually moved another "instruction , " which was admitted to be in order , as follows : — " That it be an instruction to
the Committee that they have power to make provision foF ~ tbe better prevention of bribery and corruption at elections . " Lord J . Russeli . saidj if the hon . member had any specific proposition to submit to effect the object which he professed to have in view , it would be better to go into Committee , and then , to propose thejhn . Mr . Whiteside , in support of the motion , argued that legislation was more necessary on the subject of bribery than on any other point connected with parliamentary reform , and more especially so at the present time , inasmuch as the tendency of the Bill before the House must be to add to the existing corruption . Sir G . C . Lewis repeated a former declaration on the part of the Government , that they intended to deal with the subject of bribery by a specific measure . MivWyxd proposed to add to the instruction that votes should be taken by ballot . The Speaker ruled that this addition would be out of order . Mr . Bouvebie said the instruction was only intended
for delay ; and , even if adopted , would only make confusion worse Confounded . Mr . H . Bebkei / ey charged the Opposition with exhibiting a hypocritical devotion to purity of election , while they were banded together as a great party to throw out the Bill by indirect means . After a few words from Mr . Collins , Lord J . Manners , who , on behalf of his party , repudiated the charge of obstructive delay , Mr . Slaney , Mr . Steuaet , Mr . Gbiffith , and Sir M . Fabquhar , the instruction was agreed to . Lord J . Russell moved that the Speaker should leave the chair , and in doing so alluded to the rumour which existed out of doors that the Government intended to withdraw the Bill . Mr . Disraeli said such a proposition as that of revising the constitution of England without at the same time revising the constitution
of Ireland and Scotland , had never been made by a minister before , and now ib was mude without any urgent necessity for dealing with the subject at all , and without any conviction on the part of Lord J . Russell that , even if his measure were carried , his object would be achieved . Mr . Mackinnon submitted the following amendment , viz ., ' That , in , order to obtain a safe and effective reform , it would be inexpedient and unjust to proceed further witli the proposed legislative measure for the representation of the people until the House has before it the results of the census authorised by the bill now under its consideration . " Sir H . Stagey seconded the amendment . On the motion of Mr . Hunt the debate was adjourned till Thursday . A proposition on the part of the Government to fix a Aeries of Scotch bills for a morning sitting on Tuesday
ing words ) was agreed to . Mr . Denman moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the amendment of the proceedings on trials _ for felony and misdemeanour , by assimilating the practice in civil and criminal cases , by allowing counsel for the prisoner to comment upon the evidence after it was given . The motion was seconded by Mr . Ewaet . The Attorney-General did not object to the motion , which was agreed to . Captain Jeevis rose to move a resolution for abandoning the prosecutions of certain persons at Wakefield for offences against the Act 17 & 18 Victoria , cap . 102 , when the House was counted out , at twenty minutes before eight o ' clock . — In the House of Commons , on Wednesday , Sir Jasies Ferguson gave notice of his intention to move , on the order of the day for resuming the adjournment of the debate on the Reform Bill , that
next was opposed by Mr . Disraeli and other members , but , on a division , was carried ' by 102 to 89—majority 13 . In the House of Lords , on Tuesday ni « -ht , the Selling and Hawking on Sunday Bill was read a third time and passed . The Refreshment Houses and Wine Licenses Bill was read a second time . In the House ^ ot Commons Mr . Lindsay moved for a select committee to inquire into the organization and management of those branches of the Admiralty , War Office , India Office , and Emigration Board , by which the business of transporting , by means of shipping , troops , convicts , emigrants , materials of war , stores , and any other similar services were now performed with a view of adopting some uniform system under one consolidated and responsible department . After a brief discussion , the motion ( omitting the
concludthe Committee be postponed until . ' the . Irish and Scotch Reform Bills had been read a second time . On the order Of the day for the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Commission & c , Bill , Mr . Selwyn objected to the Bill , and said his objections to the measure could be summed lip in three wordscentralization , compensation , and confiscation . The hon . and learned gentleman went on to show that the annual income of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners was £ 173 . 500 , the expenditure of the establishment was £ 43 , 580 , while the sum appropriated by them for church purposes was £ 89 , 000—hardly more than twice the amount of the expenditure of the establishment . He moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months . Mr . Alderman Copeland
seconded the amendment , and complained of the expense of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners . Mr . D . EEDES , asoneoftheEcclesiasticalCommissioners , explained the . -difficulties which that bodyiad to deal with , and expressed a . hope that the House would reinove those difficulties by legislation . _ Mi \ Henley moved the adjournment of thedebate , which was agreed to .
