A. 13:63. 


A Revolution having" taken place in Greece, by 
which the Throne of that Kingdom has become 
vacant, the Greek Nation have expressed the 
strongest desire that Her Majesty’s Son, Prince 
Alfred, should accept the Greek Crown. This 
unsolicited and spontaneous manifestation of good 
will towards Her Majesty and Her Family, and of 
a due appreciation of the benefits conferred by the 
principles and practice of the British Constitution, 
could not fail to be highly gratifying, and has been 
deeply felt by Her Majesty. 

But the diplomatic engagements of Her Majesty’s 
Crown, together with other weighty considerations, 
have prevented Her Majesty from yielding to this 
general wish of the Greek Nation. 

Her Majesty trusts, however, that the same 

rinciples of hates which led the Greek Nation to 
Sireet their thoughts, in the first instance, towards 
His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, may guide 
them to the selection of a Sovereign under whose 
sway the Kingdom of Greece may enjoy the bless- 
ings of internal prosperity, and of peaceful rela- 
tions with other States; and if, in such a state of 
things, the Republic of the Seven Islands should 
declare a deliberate wish to be united to the King- 
dom of Greece, Her Majesty would be prepared to 
take such steps as may “ necessary for a revision 
of the Treaty of November 1815, by which that 
Republic was reconstituted, and was placed under 
the protection of the British Crown. 

Her Majesty’s relations with Foreign Powers 
continue to be friendly and satisfactory. 

Her Majesty has abstained from taking any ste 
with a view to induce a cessation of the conflict 
between the contending parties in the North 
American States, because it has not yet seemed to 
Her Majesty that any such overtures could be 
attended with a probability of success. 

Her Majesty has viewed with the deepest concern

Mr. Speaker reported, That the House had been | 
at the House of Peers, at the desire of the Lords | 
Commissioners appointed under the Great Seal for | 
holding this present Parliament, and that the | 
Lord High Chancellor, being one of the said | 
Commissioners, made a Speech to both Houses of | 
Parliament, of which Mr. Speaker said he had, for 
greater accuracy, obtained a Copy, which he read 
to the House, as followeth : | 

| 
My Lords, and Gentlemen, | 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
since you were last assembled, She has declared | 
Her consent to a Marriage between His Royal | 
Highness the Prince of Wales and Her Royal | 
Highness the Princess Alerandra, daughter of | 
Prince Christian of Denmark; and Her Majesty | 
has concluded thereupon a Treaty with the King | 
of Denmark, which will be laid before vou, 

The constant proofs which Her Majesty has 
received of your attachment to Her Person and 
Family persuade Her that you will pagticipate in 
Her sentiments on an event so interesting to Her 
Majesty, and which, with the blessing of God, 

il She trusts, prove so conducive to the happi- 
ness of Her Family and to the welfare of Her 
People. 

er Majesty doubts not that you will enable 
Her to e provision for such an Establishment 


as you may think suitable to the rank and dignity 
- the Heir Apparent to the Crown of these 
ealms. 








of employment is beginning to take place in the 
manufacturing districts. 

It has been most gratifying to Her Majesty to 
witness the abundant generosity with which all 
classes of Her Subjects, in all parts of Her Empire, 
have contributed to relieve the wants of their 
suffering fellow-countrymen; and the liberality 
with which Her Majesty’s Colonial Subjects have 
on this occasion given their aid has proved that 
although their dwelling-places are far away, their 
hearts are still warm with unabated affection for 
the land of their Fathers. 

The Relief Committees have superintended with 
constant and laborious attention the distribution of 
the Funds entrusted to their charge. 

Her Majesty commands us to inform you that 
She has concluded with the King of the Belgians 
a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, and a Con- 
vention respecting Joint Stock Companies. That 
Treaty and that Convention will be laid before you. 

Her Majesty has likewise given directions that 
there shall be laid before you Papers relating to 
the Affairs of Italy, of Greece, and of Denmark ; 
and that Papers shall also be laid before you 
relating to occurrences which have lately toheen 
place in Japan. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty has directed that the Estimates for 
the ensuing year shall be laid before you. They 
have been prepared with a due regard to economy, 
and will provide for such reductions of Expends.

. most gracious Speech delivered by Her Command 


ture as have appeared to be consistent with the 
proper efficiency of the Public Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


We are commanded by Her Majesty to inform 
you that, notwithstanding the continuance of the 
Civil War in North America, the general Com- 
merce of the Country during the past year has not 
sensibly diminished. 

The Treaty of Commerce which Her Majesty 
concluded with the Emperor of the French has 
already been productive of results highly advan- 
tageous to both the Nations to which it applies ; 
and the general state of the Revenue, notwith- 
standing many unfavourable circumstances, has 
not been unsatisfactory. 

Her Majesty trusts that these results may be 
taken as proofs that the productive resources of 
the Country are unimpaired. 

It has been gratifying to Her Majesty to observe 
the spirit of order which happily prevails through- 
out tee Dominions, and which is so essential an 
element in the well-being and prosperity of 
Nations. 

Various measures of public usefulness and im- 
provement will be submitted for your considera- 
tion; and Her Majesty fervently prays that in all 
your deliberations the blessing of Almighty God 
may guide your counsels to the promotion of the 
welfare and happiness of Her People. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented 
to Her Majesty, to thank Her Majesty for the 


to both Houses of Parliament : 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing 
us that She has declared _Her consent to a Mar- 
riage between His Royal Highness the Prince of 
Wales and Her Royal Highness the Princess 
Alexandra, daughter of Prince Christian of Den- 
mark; and for commanding that the Treaty which 
has been concluded thereupon with the King of 
Denmark should be laid before us: 

Humbly to express to Her Majesty our full 
participation in Her sentiments on an event so 
interesting to Her Majesty, and which, with the 
blessing of God, will, we trust, prove so conducive 
to the happiness of Her Family, and the welfare of 
Her People; and to assure Her Majesty that we 
will make provision for such an Establishment as 
may be thought suitable to the rank and dignity 
of the Heir Apparent to the Crown of these 
Realms : 

Humbly to assure Her Majesty that we cannot 
fail to be highly gratified and deeply to feel the 
unsolicited and spontaneous manifestation of good 
will towards Her Majesty and Her Family, and 
of a due appreciation of the benefits conferred by 
the principles and practice of the British Consti- 
tution, which has led the Greek Nation to express 
so strong a desire that Her Majesty’s Son, Prince 
Alfred, should accept the Greek Crown: 

To thank Her Majesty for informing us that 
the diplomatic engagements of Her Majesty’s 
Crown, together with other weighty considera- 
tions, have prevented Her Majesty from yielding 
to this general wish of the Greek Nation : 

To assure Her Majesty that with Her we trust 
that the same principles of choice which led the 
Greek Nation to direct their thoughts, in the first 
instance, towards His Royal Highness Prince 
Alfred, may guide them tothe selection of a Sove- 
reign under whose sway the Kingdom of Greece 
may enjoy the blessings of internal prosperity and 


of peaceful relations with other States; and to 
express our thanks to Her Majesty for informing 
us that if, in such a state of things, the Republic 
of the Seven Islands should declare a deliberate 
wish to be united to the Kingdom of Greece, Her

Majesty would be prepared to take such steps as 
may be necessary fr a revision of the ticahy of 
November 1815, by which that Republic was re- 
constituted, and was placed under the protection 
of the British Crown: 

Humbly to express the gratification with which 
we learn that Her Majesty’s relations with Foreign 
Powers continue to be friendly and satisfactory : 
Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that She has abstained from taking any step with 
a view to induce a cessation of the conflict between 
the contending parties in the North American 
States, because it has not yet seemed to Her Ma- 
Jesty that any such overtures could be attended 
with a probability of success : 

To assure Her Majesty that we share in the 
concern with which She has viewed the desolating 
warfare which still rages in those regions, and in 
the heartfelt grief with which She has witnessed 
the severe distress and suffering which that War 
has inflicted upon a large class of Her Majesty’s 
Subjects, but which have been borne by them 
with noble fortitude and with exemplary resigna- 
tion; that we trust with Her Majesty that this 
suffering and this distress are rather diminishing 
than increasing, and that some revival of employ- 
ment is beginning to take place in the manufac- 
turing districts : 

To express to Her Majesty our deep gratifica- 
tion at the abundant generosity with which all 
classes of Her Subjects in all parts of Her Empire 
have contributed to relieve the wants of their 
suffering fellow-countrymen, and the liberality with 
which Her Majesty’s Colonial Subjects have on this 
occasion given their aid, proving that, although 
their dwelling-places are far away, their hearts are 
still warm with unabated affection for the land of 
their Fathers; and to convey to Her Majesty our 
sense of the value of the constant and laborious 
attention with which the Relief Committees have 
superintended the distribution of the Funds en- 
trusted to their charge: 

Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us 
that She es concluded with the King of the Bel- 
gians a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, and 
a Convention respecting Joint Stock Tianna, 
and for directing that Treaty and Convention to be 
laid before us; together with Papers relating to the 
Affairs of Italy,.of Greece, and of Denmark, and to 
occurrences which have lately taken place in 
Japan: 

To thank Her Majesty for having directed the 
Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid before us: 

To express our satisfaction at learning that, not- 
withstanding the continuance of the Civil War in 
North America, the general Commerce of the 
Country during the past year has not sensibly 
diminished; that the Treaty of Commerce which 
Her Majesty concluded with the Emperor of the 
French has already been productive of results 
highly advantageous to both the Nations to which 
it applies; and that the general state of the Reve- 
nue, notwithstanding many unfavourable circum- 
stances, has not been unsatisfactory : 

That with Her Majesty we trust that these 
results may be taken as proofs that the productive 
resources of the Country are mdirensicved 4 : 

To convey to Her "Majesty the expression of 
our deep gratification at the spirit of order which 
happily prevails throughout 
which is so essential an element in the well-being 
and eee of Nations: 

Humk y to assure Her Majesty that we will

Most Gracious Sovereign, 


We, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal Sub- 
jects, the Commons of the United: Kingdom of 
Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assem- 
bled, beg leave to convey to Your Majesty our 
thanks for the gracious Speech which Your Majesty 
has commanded to be made to both Houses of Par- 
liament : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that You have declared Your consent to a 
Marriage between His Royal Highness the Prince 
of Wales and Her Royal Highness the Princess 
Alexandra, daughter of Prince Christian of Den- 
mark; and for commanding that the Treaty which 
has been concluded thereupon with the King of 
Denmark should be laid before us: 

We humbly express to Your Majesty our full 
participation in Your sentiments on an event so 
interesting to Your Majesty, and which, with the 
blessing of God, will, we trust, prove so conducive 
to the happiness of Your Family, and the welfare of 
Your People; and we assure Your Majesty that 
we will make provision for such an Establishment 
as may be thought suitable to the rank and dignity 
of the Heir Apparent to the Crown of these 
Realms : 

We humbly assure Your Majesty that we cannot 
fail to be highly gratified and deeply feel the unsoli- 
cited and spontaneous manifestation of good will 
towards Your Majesty and Your Family, and of a 
due appreciation of the benefits conferred by the 
principles and practice of the British Constitution, 
which has led the Greek Nation to express so strong 
a desire that Your Majesty’s Son, Prince Alfred, 
should accept the Greek Crown: 

We thank Your Majesty for informing us that 
the diplomatic engagements of Your Majesty’s 
Crown, together with other weighty considerations, 
have prevented Your Majesty from yielding to this 
general wish of the Greek Nation: 

We assure Your Majesty that with You we 
trust that the same principles of choice which led 
the Greek Nation to direct their thoughts, in the 
first instance, towards His Royal Highness Prince 
Alfred, may guide them to the selection of a Sove- 
reign under whose sway the Kingdom of Greece 
may enjoy the blessings of internal prosperity and 
of peaceful relations with other States; and we ex-- 





D4 ; press 





94 6° Februari. 


press our thanks to Your Majesty for informing us 
that if, in such a state of things, the Republic of 
the Seven Islands should declare a deliberate wish 
to be united to the Kingdom of Greece, Your Ma- 
jesty would be prepared to take such steps as may 
be necessary for a revision of the Treaty of Novem- 
ber 1815, by which that Republic was reconstituted, 
and placed under the protection of the British 
Crown: 

We humbly express the gratification with which 
we learn that Tor Majesty’s relations with Foreign 
Powers continue to be friendly and satisfactory : 

We humbly thank Your Majesty for informing 
us that You have abstained from taking any step 
with a view to induce a cessation of the conflict 
between the contending parties in the orth 
American States, because it has not yet seemed to 
Your Majesty that any such overtures could be 
attended with a probability of success : 


We assure Your Majesty that we share in the |. 


concern with which You have viewed the desolating 
warfare which still rages in those regions, and in 


the heartfelt grief with which You have witnessed | 


the severe distress and suffering which that War has 
inflicted upon a large class of Your Majesty’s Sub- 
jects, but which have been borne by them with noble 
fortitude and with exemplary resignation; that we 
trust with Your Majesty th 

this distress are rather diminishing than increasing, 
and that some revival of employment is beginning 
to take place in the manufacturing districts : 

We express to Your Majesty our deep gratifica- 
tion at the abundant generosity with which all 
classes of Your Subjects in all parts of Your Empire 
have contributed to relieve the wants of their 
suffering fellow-countrymen, and the liberality with 
which Your Majesty’s Colonial Subjects have on 
this occasion given their aid, proving that, although 
their dwelling-places are far away, their hearts are 
still warm with unabated affection for the land of 
their Fathers; and we convey to Your Majesty 
our sense of the value of the constant and laborious 
attention with which the Relief Committees have

Belgians a Treaty of Commerce and Navigation, 
and a Convention respecting Joint Stock Com-

Denmark, and to occurrences which have lately 
taken place in Japan: 

We thank Your Majesty for having directed 
the Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid 
before us: 

We express our satisfaction at learning that, 
notwithstanding the continuance of the Civil War 
in North America, the general Commerce of the 
Country during the past year has not sensibly di- 
minished; that the Treaty of Commerce which 
Your Majesty concluded with the Emperor of the 
French has already been productive of results 
highly advantageous to both the Nations to which 
it applies; and that the general state of the Re- 
venue, notwithstanding many unfavourable cir- 
cumstances, has not been unsatisfactory : 

That, with Your Majesty, we trust that these 
results may be taken as proofs that the — 
resources of the Country are unimpaired : 

We convey to Your Majesty the expression of 
our deep gratification at the spirit of order which 
happily prevails throughout Your Dominions, and 
which is so essential an element in the well-being 
and prosperity of Nations: 

e humbly ‘assure Your Majesty that we will

Majesty, submitting to Her Majesty, That, in the 
opinion of this House, the position of the Officers 
of Her Majesty’s Naval Service, in respect of 
Promotion and Retirement, is not satisfactory, and 
ought to be amended: That with a view to the in-

meet the just expectations of Officers with respect 
to Promotion, it is desirable to adopt for all Ranks

Pay of Naval Officers ought to be so adjusted as to 
enable them consistently to maintain the Rank they

honourable Service ;

“consider the present system of Promotion and 
“ Retirement in the Royal Navy, and to report 
“their opinion thereon to this House,” instead

Complaint being made to the House by Sir Frede- Complaint, 


ric Smith, Member for the Borough of Chatham, of 
a Letter addressed to him by Mr. FE. J. Reed, re- 
flecting upon a Speech of the honourable Member, 
in his place in this House, as false and libellous :— 
The said Letter was delivered in, and read, as 
followeth : 
10, Glen Mohr Terrace, Greenwich, 
Feb. 24, 1863, 
To Sir Frederic Smith, M. P. 
Sir, 

In the House of Commons, last evening, I heard 
you deny that I had belonged to the Admiralty 
School of Naval Architecture, which, though true 
verbally, inasmuch as the school was entitled 
** School of Mathematics and Naval Construction,” 
is calculated to convey a most false impression, in- 
asmuch as the school in question was, in fact, a 
School of Naval Architecture, inferior in no respect 
to that which bore the name previously. 

Further, I heard you state that I was without a 
proper knowledge of my profession; in fact, that 
* 1 knew nothing about the matter.” 

Now, I call upon you to say why you made this 
false and libellous statement concerning me in 
your place in Parliament, and on what grounds 
you justify, or attempt to justify, it. 

I beg to assure you that I have not sought the 
appointment which the Admiralty have given tome, 


and | think you are bound, if you feel called upon

of commerce ; and « national army ;’ and sub- 
sequently the same Sovereign, addressing the 
Poles, said, ‘ Your restoration is defined by 
* solemn Treaties. It is sanctioned by the Con- 
stitutional Chart. The inviolability of these 
* external engagements and of that fundamental 
“law ensures for Poland henceforth an honour- 
* able place among European Nations :’ 

‘* That for many years past not one of these 
engagements and conditions has been fulfilled : 
“ That it appears from the diplomatic docu- 
** ments which from time to time have been laid 
“before Parliament, that these external engage- 
“ments of Russia in respect to Poland were 
** avowedly intended by the contracting parties, on 
the one hand, as a compensation for the loss of 
“her independence by the dismemberment, and, 
*‘ on the other hand, as guarantees for the peace 
* and security of Europe: 

* That the breach of the solemn engagements 
* thus incurred between England and Mtussia has 
recently been described (2d July 1861) by Her 
** Majesty’s First Minister in his place in this 
** House, in the following words: 

** «The course which the Government of Russia 
adopted towards Poland was a complete and 
* decided violation of the Treaties of Vienna. The 
* stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna were broken 
almost as soon as concluded. Perhaps the greatest 
violation of a Treaty that has ever taken place 
in the history of tke world was that which 
occurred in the case of Poland :’ 

** That for years past the Poles have borne with 
exemplary patience this deliberate violation of 
their national rights : 

“ That whilst their endurance has attracted the 
admiration of Kurope, it seems to have aroused 
the worst passions of the Russian authorities : 

*« That the patriotic self-restraint of the unani- 
mous people of Poland has at length given way 
under an accumulation of outrages unparalleled 
in these times: 

* That the Kingdom of Poland is now the scene 
“of a desolating conflict between the troops of 
* Russia and the people thus driven to desperation: 

* Humbly to submit to Her Majesty that these 
“facts demand the interposition of England in 
‘€ vindication of her own public faith and solemn 
‘“‘ ¢ngayements,” instead thereof. 

And the Question being proposed, That the 
words proposed to be left out stand part of the 
Question :—The said proposed Amendment was, 
with leave of the House, withdrawn. 

Ordered, That Mr. Speaker do now leave the 
Chair:—The House accordingly resolved itself 
into the Committee ; and, after some time spent 
therein, Mr. Speaker resumed the Chair; and Mr. 
Massey reported, That the Committee had made 
Progress in the matter to them referred; and that 
he was directed to move, That the Committee may 
have leave to sit again. 

Resolved, That this House will, upon Monday 
next, again resolve itself into the said Cre

Tothe Right Honourable the Speaker

Sir, London, 15th April 1863. 

Being the person who caused the Petition to be

Esquire, M. P. for the Borough of Lisburn, I have 
now the honour and pleasure of handing to you a 
withdrawal of the same; and respectfully request

order that such Petition may be finally withdrawn

I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your most obedient Servant,

To the Most Honourable the Commoners of 
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and

and to the Speaker thereof. 


Whereas we, the undersigned William John Knox 
and Moses Bullick, both of Lisburn, in the County

the said Petition, or to proceed further with the

In the matter of the Petition of William John 
Knox and Moses Bullick, two of the Elec- 
tors of the said Borough, — the Return 
of John Doherty Barbour, Esquire. 


Whereas we, the undersigned Electors, presented 
our Petition against the Return of said John 
Doherty Barbour for the reasons in said Petition 
assigned; and whereas a certain person of the 
name of Alexander M‘Cann, representing himself 
as the clerk or agent of James Hamilton Moore, 
our solicitor, upon this day produced a certain 
document, purporting to be under the eighth 
section of the Elections Petition Act, 1848, and 
to be a withdrawal of said Petition ander said 
section, and which, in ignorance of its nature, 
and placing implicit reliance in said Alexander 
M*Cann, we signed; and having subsequeutly 
apprised our local agent and solicitor, Lucas 
Waring, of this town, of what we had done, he 
thereupon sent William Segrave, his clerk, to 
Belfast, where said Alexander M‘Cann went soon 
after the signing of said document, for said docu- 
ment, in order to see the nature and purport 
thereof, and which said Alexander M‘ Cann refused 
to show to said William Segrave; and when we 
(who were present at the time of said demand) 
required the said Alexander M* Cann to show to us 
said document, in order that we might read and 
fully comprehend the same, he refused to do so. 

Now we hereby utterly disclaim our knowledge of 
the contents, nature, or effect of the same, and that 
if same(when presented to your Honourable House) 
shall prove to be an abandonment of said Petition 
by us, that same has been extracted from us 
through error, and ignorance of the contents and 
effect thereof, and we utterly renounce the same, 
and any intention whatever on our part to relin- 
quish said Petition; but, on the contrary thereof, 
intend to prosecute the same pursuant to the Re- 
cognizance duly entered into and filed in the office 
of the Clerk of Recognizances of your Honourable 
House, under the Provisions of said recited Act. 

Dated this 24th day of March in the year of 
our Lord 1863.

Ordered, That the Committee on the Bann Bann Navig. 
Navigation Improvement, &amp;c. Bill have leave to tion Improve. 
make a Special Report. (Opetial ee 

Mr. Massey reported from the said Committee ; port.) 
That the Bill contains a Provision to the effect 
that the lands and works of the Commissioners, as 
well as the rates and dues derived from the Navi- 
gation, shall be vested in the Commissioners, as 
part of their borough estates. It was proved to 
the Committee that the works necessary for im- 
proving the Navigation could not be made without 
mortgaging the borough estates, and giving a col- 
lateral security upon the borough rates; and that 
the income expected to be derived from the Navi- 
gation alone would be inadequate to its own sup- 
port without aid from the borough funds; under 
these circumstances the Committee considered that 
the case would not admit of that separation of 
Navigation and Municipal Funds, and that exclu- 
sive application of the receipts from the Naviga- 
tion to Navigation purposes, which in other cases 
it has been the policy of Parliament to enforce. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the

Illegitimate Colonel Dunne reported from the Committee 
(ireland) pill, 2ppointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the

by their Lordships to the Illegitimate Children 
(Lreland) Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons 
accordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House ; and the same were read, as follow: 
‘The Commons disagree to Clauses A. and B., 
inserted by your Lordships. 
1. Because it is objectionable to give to a 
party about to be a Plaintiff in a Civil Suit, a 
ower to compel a person who is to be a} 
witness in the case to swear an information 
in the sense desired by the Plaintiff in the suit. 
2. Because the alternative power proposed 
to be conferred by the said Clauses, of either 
compelling a woman to swear against some 
individual as being the father of her illegiti- 
mate child, or of sending her to prison, is a 
Provision that will hold out an inducement to 
perjury with the class likely to be affected 
thereby, in the event of their being unwilling 
to swear to the actual father, that is highly 
objectionable. 
The Commons agree to the other Amendments 
made by your Lordships. 
The said Reasons, feleg read a second time, 
were agreed to.

to communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill

Mr. Milner Gibson reported from the Committee 
appointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to 
the Lords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Telegraphs 
Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons accord- 
ingly, which they had directed him to report to the 
House; and the same were read, as follow: 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments to 
Clause 9, for the following Reason : 

Because no inconvenience can result from 
placing Telegraphs underground along public 
roads not within towns, and seeing that, by 
the Bill as it stands, the authorities of public 
roads must be consenting parties to above- 
ground works; if their consent were also 
necessary for underground works, it would be 
in the power of a country road authority to 
prevent a Telegraph from being carried along 
a public road altogether, and the public might 
thus be deprived of the advantage of a Tele- 
graphic communication from one part of the 
country to the other. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 5, 1. 20, by inserting after the word 
“ placing” the words “ or by virtue of the powers of 

VoL. 118. 





et eee

** Provided, that where the Company places a Tele- 
*¢ graph acrossor over any streetor public road, they 
* shall not place it so low as to stop, hinder or 
* interfere with the passage for any purpose what- 
* soever along the street or public road.” 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 6, 1, 29, by leaving out the word 
** buildings” and inserting the word “ building.” 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 10, 1. 4, by inserting after the word 
“that” the words “with respect to lands and 
* buildings situate within the limits of the district 
* over which the authority of the Metropolitan 
* Board of Works extends (hereinafter referred to 
“as the Metropolis), or within the limits of any 
** city or municipal borough or town corporate, or 
“any town having a population of thirty thou-

* any street in the Metropolis, or a city or large 
** town, consents to the placing of works by the 
** Company, in, upon, over, along, or across that 
* street, then, and in every such case, that consent 
** shall (unless it is otherwise provided by the 
“terms thereof) be sufficient authority for the 
* Company, without any further consent, except 
“as to any land or building belonging to or 
* enjoyed by Her Majesty in right of Her Crown,

“ they shall not place it at a less height 
“above the roof thereof than six feet,

* objects to their placing it at a less 
“ height ; 

“(2.) If at any time the owner, lessee or 
“ occupier of any building, or land _adjoin- 
“jing to a building, directly over which 
** building or land the Company, by virtue 
“of the authority so conferred, places a 
** Telegraph, desires to raise the building 
* to a greater height, or to extend it over 
“such land, the Company shall increase 
* the height or otherwise alter the position 
“ of the Telegraph, so that the same may 
* not interfere with the raising or exten- 
sion of the building, within fourteen days 
* after receiving from the owner, lessee or 
*‘ occupier, a notice of his intention to 
* raise or extend the building, or in case 
** of difference between the Company and

“ any respect prejudicially affected thereby, 

“the amount of such compensation to be 

“determined in manner provided by the 

“said Lands Clauses Consolidation Acts 

“respectively, and any Act amending 

“those Acts, for the determination of the 

“amount of compensation with respect to 

* lands injuriously affected : 

“ Provided also, That;” and by adding after 
the word “required” the words “ nor shall any 
person so occupying be entitled to such com- 
* pensation as aforesaid.” 

The Commons disagree to the Amendments 
in p. 10, 1. 42, and in p. 11, 1. 6 to 17 inclusive, for 
the following Reasons: 

Because it is expedient that the Clause 23 
should not be deemed to affect the powers 
given to street authorities, by preceding 
Clauses as amended, entitling Companies to 
carry their wires over houses under certain 
restrictions in large towns. 

Because it is not expedient that Companies 
should be required to obtain more consents 
than are necessary for the security of property 
and private interests; and as the consent of an 
occupier is to be effective only during the 
continuance of his occupation, it is sufticient 
that the consent of the owner should be 
obtained only where there is no occupier, and 
not of both those persons in each case. 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ments in p. 11, |. 27, by inserting after the word 
** street” the words “ not beingastreetin the metro- 
* polis, or in a city or large town;” by inserting 
after the word “ or” the word “ an;” by inserting 
in the second Amendment after the word “ street” | 
the words “ not being such a street as aforesaid ;” 
and by inserting after the word “ or” the word * a.” 

The Commons propose to amend the Amend- 
ment in p. 13, 1, 22, by inserting after the word 
“ therewith” the words “ the granting of such cer- 
“‘ tificate being deemed to be a matter referred to 
‘the determination of the justice so certifying.” 

With the preceding exceptions, the Commons 
agree to the Amendments to the Bill. 

The said Reasons, being read a second time, were | 
agreed to. 

Ordered, That a Message be sent to the Lords | 
to communicate the said Reasons (with the Bill! 
and Amendments): And that the Clerk do carry | 
the same. | 








Ordered, That the Amendments made by the 
Lords to the Marriages Registration (/reland) Bill | 
be taken into consideration To-morrow; and be | 
printed. 





Resolved, That an humble Address be presented | 
to Her Majesty, that She will be graciously pleased | 
to give directions, that there be added to the | 
Return relative to the Banda and Kirwee Prize 
Money, addressed for on the 13th of July, a Copy 
of the Orders and Correspondence of the Madras | 
Government from the Military Consultations of | 
Fort Saint George, of the following Numbers and | 
Dates, viz.: No. 166 of 17th November 1857; 
Nos. 59 and 60 of the 24th November 1857; and |

Lords Com- And afterwards, a Speech of the Lords Com-

ck missioners was delivered to both Houses by the 


Lord High Chancellor, as followeth ; 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


We are commanded by Her Majesty to release 
you from further attendance in Parliament, and at 
the same time to convey to you Her Majesty’s 
acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with 
which you have applied yourselves to the perform- 
ance of your duties during the Session now 
brought to a close. 

Her Majesty has seen with deep regret the pre- 
sent condition of Poland. Her Majesty has been 
engaged, in concert with the Emperor of the 
French and the Emperor of Austria, in negotia- 
tions, the object of which has been to obtain the 
fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of 
Vienna of 1815, on behalf of the Poles. Her Ma- 
jesty trusts that those stipulations will be carried 
into execution, and that thus a conflict distressing 
to humanity, and dangerous to the tranquillity of 
Europe, may be brought to a close. 

The Civil War between the Northern and 
Southern States of the North American Union 
still unfortunately continues, and is necessaril 
attended with much evil, not only to the ~ere 
ing parties, but also to Nations which have taken 
no part in the contest. Her Majesty, however, 
has seen no reason to depart from that strict neu- 
trality which Her Majesty has observed from the 
beginning of the contest. 

OL. 118.

The Greek Nation having chosen Prince William 
of Denmark for their King, Her Majesty is taking 
steps with a view to the union of the Jonian Is- 
lands with the Kingdom of Greece. For this pur- 
= Her Majesty is in communication with the 

owers who were me to the Treaty of 1815, 
by which those Islands were placed under the 
protection of the British Crown; and the wishes 
of the Jonians on the subject of such union will 
be duly ascertained. 

Several barbarous outrages committed in Japan 
upon British Subjects have rendered it necessary 
for Her Majesty to demand reparation; and Her 
Majesty hopes that Her rent. will be conceded 
by the Japanese Government without its being 
— to resort to coercive measures to enforce 
them. 

The Emperor of Brazil has thought fit to break 
off his Diplomatic Relations with Her Majesty in 
consequence of Her Majesty not having complied 
with demands which She did not deem it possible 
to accede to. Her Majesty has no wish that this 
estrangement should continue, and would be glad 
to see Her Relations with Brazil re-established. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


Her Majesty commands us to convey to you 
Her warm acknowledgments for the liberal Sup- 
plies which you have granted for the Service of 
the present year, and towards the permanent de- 
fence of Her Majesty’s Dockyards and Arsenals; 
and Her Majesty commands us to thank-you for 
the provision you have made for the establishment 
of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


The Distress which the Civil War in North 
America has inflicted upon a portion of Her Ma- 
jesty’s Subjects in the manufacturing districts, and 
towards the relief of which such generous and mu- 
nificent contributions have been made, has in some 
degree diminished; and Her Majesty has given 
Her cordial assent to Measures calculated to have 
a beneficial influence upon that unfortunate state 
of things. 

Symptoms of a renewal of disturbances have ma- 
nifested themselves in Her Majesty’s Colony of 
New Zealand, but Her Majesty trusts that by wise 
and conciliatory measures, supported by adequate 
means of repression, order and tranquility will be 
maintained in that valuable and improving Colony. 

Her Majesty has given Her assent to a measure 
for augmenting the income of a considerable num- 
ber of Small enefices, and She trusts that this 
measure will be conducive to the interests of the 
Established Church. 

Her Majesty has given Her assent to an Act for 
the revision of a large portion of the Statute Book, 
by the removal of many Acts which, although 
they had become obsolete or unnecessary, ob- 
structed the condensation of the Statute Law. 

Her Majesty has felt much pleasure in giving 
Her assentto an Act for placing upon a well-de- 
fined footing that Volunteer Force which has added 
a most important element to the defensive means 
of the Country. 

Her Majesty has gladly given Her assent to an 
Act for carrying into effect the Additional Treaty 
concluded by Her Majesty with the President of 
the United States for the more effectual suppres- 
sion of the Slave Trade; and Her Majesty trusts 
that the honourable co-operation of the Govern- 
ment of the United States will materially assist 
Her Majesty in those endeavours which Great 
Britain has long been e ed in making to put an 
end to the perpetration of that most disgraceful 
crime. Her Majesty has assented with satisfac- 
tion to many other measures of public usefulness, 
3G4+ the 





Parliament 
prorogued, 


416 


the result of your labours during the present 
Session. 

It has been gratifying to Her Majesty to 
observe that notwithstanding many adverse cir- 
cumstances the general prosperity of Her Empire 
continues unimpaired. Though great local distress 
has been suffered in Great Britain from the effects 
of the Civil War in America, and in Ireland from 
the results of three unfavourable seasons, the 
financial resources of the United Kingdom have 
been fully maintained, and its general commerce 
with the world at large has not been materially 
impaired. 

It has been a source of great satisfaction to Her 
Majesty to find that Her East Indian Possessions, 
rapidly recovering from the disasters which lately 
overspread them, are entering upon a course of 
mprovement, social, financial, and commercial, 
which holds out good promise for the growing 
prosperity of those extensive regions. 

On returning to your several counties you will 
still have important duties to perform; and Her 
Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of Al- 
mighty God may attend your efforts to promote 
the welfare and happiness of Her Subjects, the 
object of Her constant and earnest solicitude. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- 
ment was read. 


After which the Lord Chancellor said : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, 
and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this Par- 
liament to Wednesday the 14th day of October 
next, to be then here holden; and this Parliament is 
accordingly prorogued to Wednesday the 14th day 
of October next.
