MR. GRAVES

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If it is his intention to proceed with the Electric Telegraphs Bill this Session?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

, in reply, said, he wished to proceed with the Telegraphs Bill Ibis Session, and he felt that commercial gentlemen were extremely desirous to see that Bill passed. He also believed that the House would be glad to have the opportunity of passing it; but the only chance of being able to do so would be to have a Morning Sitting; and if the House would assent to that he would endeavour to make arrangements for the purpose.
