Notes Of The Week.

NOTES OF THE WEEK .

THE House of Lords resumed its labours , after the Whitsun holidays , on Friday . After the Koyal assent had been given by Commission to sundry Bills , the Duke of Richmond announced the intention of the Government to issue a Eoyal Commission of inquiry into the question of vivisection before proceeding to legislate , and

he appealed to Lord Hennikev , who had introduced a Bui to regulate the practice , not to bring it forward . In response , Lord Henniker agreed to postpone the second reading for a month . The second reading of Lord Selborne ' s two measures , the General School of Law Bill , and the Inns of

Court Bill , was then agreed to , after a debate , in which the Lord Chancellor and Lord Hatherley took part . The Earl of Derby having announced , in reply to Lord Houghton , that the Eoyal Geographical Society would bo represented at the Geographical Exhibition , proposed to be

held in Paris , in August , but that as the Congress was not officially recognised by the French Government , no official representative from England would attend , their Lordships adjourned . On Monday , several subjects of interest Avere discussed . Earl Bussell moved for the production of

correspondence relating to recent diplomatic occurrences on the Continent , a motion to which the Earl of Derby declined to accede , Earl Granville offering a few remarks mostly in support of the Government refusal . The Military Manoeuvres Bill was then read a second time . The rest of

the sitting was occupied with a long and interesting discussion as to the efficiency and strength of our army , originated by Lord Hardinge asking H . R . H . the Duke of Cambridge whether a recent speech of his had been correctly reported . The Duke at once corrected sundry

He added , that what he wanted was a large reserve , an army of cadres beino- of no use without . Viscount Cardwell , as

exsecretary for war , then said his say , expressing an opinion that wc had a good reserve , both for the army and militia . Earl Grey differed on some points , and expressed his views with his usual perspicuity . Lord Strathnairn offered a few remarks , and the Marquis of Lansdowne

and the Duke of Richmond contributed their experience ? , the latter expressing the determination of the Government to deal thoroughly with the most important question . The House shortly after adjourned . On Tuesday , on the motion for going into Committee on the Church Patronage Bill ,

Lord Houghton pointed out that , in his opinion , the amendments introduced into the Bill had materially altered if s complexion . The Bishops of London and Peterborough having made some remarks , the House went into Committee , and some of the most important clauses were the subject of

debate , several divisions occurring , when the whole of the clauses were agreed to . After passing the Militaiy Manoeuvres Bill through another stage , the House

adjourned . On Thursday , the House went into Committee on the Artisans' Dwellings Bill , which passed this stage , after a careful discussion of the most important clauses . Other business having been transacted , the House rose . On Friday , the House of Commons had a protracted sitting . Sir 0 . Dilke , after the usual questions had been
