DURING the past week Parliament has been doing good work quietly , and it is worthy of remark that in both Houses have been introduced even thus early in the Session several important measures . For many years it has been subject of complaint that the work of legislation
was carried on only in the House of Commons till Summer set in . Then Bills were sent up to the Lords , and had to be disposed of in a hurry , or the fruits of the Commons ' labours would have been lost , for that year at all events . This cannot be urged against the conduct of public
business this Session . On Tuesday , in the House of Lords , the Supreme Court of Judicature Act ( 1873 ) Amendment Bill , and the Land Titles and Transfer Bill were read a second time , as also was the Increase of Episcopate Bill introduced by Lord Lyttelton . The importance of at all
events two of these measures it is impossible to overrate . On Thursday the second reading of the Church Patronage Bill was moved by the Bishop of Peterborough , and , after a somewhat lengthy debate , in which several other Bight Rev . Prelates took part , was agreed to . In the
House of Commons on Friday last , Mr . Sclater-Booth moved the second reading of the Adulteration of Food and Drugs Bill . This was agreed to , and the Committee fixed for the 4 th proximo . On Monday the Secretary of State for War moved the second reading of
the Regimental Exchanges Bill , urging , in the course of his speech , that he had taken up the question on the recommendatin of the Commission appointed by his predecessor , Lord Cardwell ; that it would promote contentment in , and be of benefit to the army , and that it would
involve no expense to the country . The motion was opposed by Mr . Trevelyan and others , but was carried by 282 to 185 . On "Wednesday afternoon a very useful Bill passed its second reading , —the Bank Holidays Act ( 1871 ) Extension Bill , the object being to extend that Act to officers
of Customs and others whose connection with the shipping trade prevented their sharing its benefits . Mr . Ritchie had charge of the measure , which received the support of Mr . W . H . Smith , the fiuancial Secretary of the Treasury , but was opposed by Mr . C . Wilson , member for Hull , and
others . The second reading , however , was agreed to by 90 to 64 . On Thursday the second reading of the Friendly Societies' Bill was agreed to , and Mr . Cross obtained leave to introduce a Bill to amend the law with respect to manufacturing , keeping , selling , carrying , and importing
gunpowder , nitro-glycerine and other explosive substances . To complete this summary of the week ' s Parliamentary history , it remains to add that Mr . Marling has been elected by a majority of more than 200 over his opponent ,
Lord Bury , to fill the vacancy at Stroud , and has taken his seat , and that convict Mitchell is again a candidate for Co . Tipperary . There are also vacancies at St . Ives by tho unseating of Mr . Praed , and at Norwich , one of whose members , Mr . Huddleston , Q . C . has been raised to the Bench .
On Monday afternoon , a Levee was held at St . James ' s Palace , by H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen . The Dukes of Edinburgh and Cambridge , Prince Christian , the Duke of Teck and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar were present . Both the
Diplomatic and General circles were numerously attended , and presentations to His Royal Highness , to the number of some 150 were made , such presentations boing , by tho Queen ' s pleasure , deemed equivalent to presentations to Her Majesty .
In connection with the lock-out in South Wales , Mr . Macdonald , M . P . for Stafford , has addressed a conference of the Council of the Miners' National Association , held on
Wednesday , in Manchester , in terms strongly condemnatory of the action of the mine-owners . Mr . Macdonald ' s utterances on the subject of everything relating to mining is entitled to respect . Condemnation of one party to a
