Noble Friend to bring forward this subject, he would have bee prepared to -enter the discussion of it, but his Noble Friend's motion went to do the very thing that the Committee to enquire into the state of prison disco yliae would hove to consider. There was something Very im posts:it lost sight of by his Nonle Friend, for it must be observed that there is a distinction between prison discipline and secondary punishment. Prison discipline was the ordinary discipline that prisoners had to..observe. . Under these circum stances he could not agree with his Noble Friend who opened the discussion, that it was requisite, first, to have an inquiry into the state of pi icon discipline, before secondary punishment. The Earl of RODEN hoped that if the Noble Duke got his Committee, it would be extended to Irelnad. He con ceived no sort of crime was greater than the mismanagent of prisons, and nothing was of greater importance than to ea amine into the cause of the evils they may be exposed to. Lord WHARNCLIFFE withdrew his motion, his only ols ject in making it being to effect the important end they .all looked to. The Duke of RICHMOND, hareply, said that he thought a Committee might collect very useful information on this subject. It was said by his Noble Friend that it would be ne cessary to send a Commission to each- town, but his Noble Friend ( Lord I-Vharncliffe) well knew that there was depo sited with the Clerk of the Peace a plan of each prison (so we understood) which might easily be brought before the Committee. One objection he had to the Commission, and one reason he bad for asking for a Committee was this, that in a short time a Committee might come to some resolution by which they might go a great way in resisting evil by preventing the increase of crime. With respect to the observation of his Learned Friend ( Lord Brougham) he would say he was prepared to remove capital punishments, wherever he thought it safe to do so; but he did not wish to make a speech on capita! punishments, when he was only asking for the appointment of a Committec,• is - order that they might know exactly what the present state of prison discipline was. He was anxious that there should be one uniform system o 7 dissipline in all House of Correction. With respect to his not having given notice of this motion, lie begged leave to say that he had given notice on Thursday last. He could not see any reason why this subject should be put off, to enable Noble Lords to come down and make long Speeches.—( A laugh.) In his opinion the house would be much better occupied by proceeding at once with the enquiry, he wanted therefore the House would agree to the appointment of the Committco. Lord BROUGHAM assured the Noble Duke that he had not intended to complain of the shortness of his speech ; all that said was that he had lamented that the Noble Duke had not entered more into detail on such a subject. As to the state meets of the Noble Duke that he (Lord Brougham) would have an opportunity of making a long speech in the Committee, he begged to state that his thne was occupied in the judicial business of that House from ten in the morning till four iii the afccrnoon. He should not consider it his duty as a Member of their Lordships' House to attend the Committee and there state his opinions upon the law of secondary punish ment, but he would, at an early day, take an opportunity, in his place io that House, of stating his opinions on the Criminal Law, as connected with secondary punishments. The Duke of RICHMOND said he was not to be put down by the Noble and Learned Lord's sarcasm—( Hear, hear) and he would give him an opportunity of making as long a speech as he liked (laughter) in his place in that House, for he would then give notice that on that day se'nnight he would move for the return, but be begged leave to give the Noble and Learned Lord notice, that he would neither permit him nor any other man in that House to make sarcastic obser- THE LONDON GAZEI THIS EVENING.

The Earl of RADNOR moved for a return of the forms used in dispensations at the Universities; the number of de grees of Bachelor and Master of Arts granted without dispen sations during the last ten years, and the number of applica tions for dispensations during that period. POOR LAWS. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM in moving for a copy of the correspondence between the Poor Law Commissioners and the parish of Stoke Poges, stated that he had had sent to him affidavits contradicting positively the statements of the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (Brougham.) As those affidavits, however, could not be brought before the House according to its standing orders, he should write to the parties to put their statements in such a shape as that they could be received. With respect to the state ments in the petitions he had presented, he did not consider himself answerable for them. Lord BROUGHAM said that it was far from his wish or intention to hold the Noble Duke answerable for the statements or the petitions he presented. He ( Lord Brougham) was the only person who was held responsible for the state ments of the petitions he presented in that House.--( A laugh.) He ought to say in justice to the petitioners, that he had received several letters from the gentlema❑ from whom he had had the information, requesting him to inquire into the circumstances they had represented to him; having done so, he was bound to say the result of those enquiries fully confirmed the statements he had before made. GAOLS AND HOUSES OF CORRECTION. The Duke of RICHMOND wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to propose any measures for the amendment of the discipline of gaols and houses of correc tion ? If he learned that such was not their intention, he should move for a Select Committee to inquire into this subject. He was not an advoeote for severe punishments, or long terms of imprisonment; but for a proper plan of prison discipline. It was the duty of the Government to endeavour to reclaim of fenders, but the effect of the present system was to render them still worse. Be could appeal to the Magistrates and gaolers of the several prisons in the country to prove the as sertion—that offenders were made twice as bad by their sojourn in the prisons, amongst those who were older in the practice of crimes, by whom they were corrupted and rendered still more mischievous. He did not bring forward this subject from any party feeling—( Hear, hear)—but because be felt there was an imperative call for the interfer ence of the Legislature. He did not now intend to go into any lengthened details upon what plan should bo adopted in reference to those who were convicted of minor offences, and how juvenile culprits should be managed; but he thought that a plan,should be adopted to prevent them becom ing worse than they were before they entered our prisons. He should conclude by moving that a Select Committee be appointed for the purpose of enquiring into this subject. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said he most freely concurred in all that had fallen from the Noble Duke. Their Lordships would recollect, that last Session he had called their attention to the subject; but that he had not moved far a Committee of rations: Lord BROUGHAM—My Lords, I really m us t, h av i ng been attacked by my N . 01)1;3 Friend, appeal to your Lordships, whether in the whole course of your ex perience of Parliamentary debates, of Parliamentary tactics, or of Parliamentary attacks or defence, you ever heard of saw an individual more unjustly dealt by, or more harshly treated than I • am by my Noble Friend. ( Hear.) Which of us attacked the other first ? (Laughter.) Did not my Noble Friend on the cross-bench (the Duke of Richmond) begin by attacking me for my wishes to make long speeches?—(Hear, hear.) Did he not begin with (LEFT SPEAKING.) that House, but for an address to his Majesty, praying him to appoint a Committee to inquire into the whole subject. It was right their Lordships should know what had been done since that time; A Noble Viscount (Melbourne) then at the head of Home-office had tried to enforce the discipline of the Govern ment of the United States, and had had it in contemplation to alter the large prison in Clerkenwell for that purpose ; but being soon after called upon to take his place at the head of the Government, nothing more seemed to have been done after. He would appeal to the House, whether the present Government had not had enough to occupy their attention since the time they succeeded to office, without taking time to try an experiment of the kind.—he would say that the present Government, without any possible delay, were quite willing and anxious to take up the question, and if the Government would take his advice, they would immediately issue a Commission, or more than one, in order that enquirie s m i g ht b e made on the spot, which in his opinion would be much better than taking evidence before a Committee of that House, who must necessarily call for those persons who would have an interest in giving the best colour in their power to the system of discipline Which they themselves pursued. Of course when the report of the Commission was made, some measure upon the subject must be introduced. The present Government were quite as willing as their predecessors to do all that was wanted on the subject, and they would take all such measures as were in their power to get such information as was possible. The written law upon the subject had done more harm than good, and more money had been spent on prisons of the old construction than might have carried into effect great ameliorations. He trusted the Noble Duke would consent to his plan, which would much better answer his views. Lord BROUGHAM thought that a Commission, seeing with their own eyes and hearing with their own ears, and ex amining the different methods of prison'discipline, would be at tended with great advantage ; but he was not prepared to say that it would be better than a Committee of that House, who might examine persons in a judicial station who had formed a judg ment upon secondary punishment. He hoped this enquiry would embrace this most important subject. In any Le gislative measure, for the purpose of altering capital pu nishment, they should provide for the better regulation of secondary punishment. They/should not .do away with capital punishment, with its advantages hid such as they were for repressing crime, without substituting some other punishment.— (Hear, hear.) He thought a Committee was the proper tribunal to which the inquiry should be entrusted not only for improvement of prison discipline, but also the subject of secondary punishment ; and he would sug gest to his Noble Friend on the cross bench (the Duke of Richmond) that this subject of secondary punishment, before it was referred to a Committee, ought to have been introduced.—( Hear, hear, hear.) They could no: enter into the subject of prison discipline with advantage, without considering the question of secondary punishment.— It was a subject that had been very much considered elsewhere and discussed by a variety of persons, not one of whom had ever thought of severing the two subjects. He hoped the subject would be further discussed in this House, and that they would absolve the public mind of an impression that had gone abroad that they were desirous of giving the " goe-by" to these questions. - Lord WHARNCLIFFE was as anxious as the Noble Duke to obtain the hest information upon the subject ; but he still thought that the sub ect would be better enquired into by a Commission. He trusted, therefore, that the Noble Duke would postpone his motion, in order to afford Ministers an op portunity of considering what steps they should take. The Marquis of SALISBURY regretted that some part of the county houses of correction were places of punishment, whilst in others they were places of amusement. He thought much more good would be done by a Commission than a Com mittee of the House. He trusted the Noble Duke would post pone his motion. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that the only object of the Noble Duke (Richmond) was to ascertain what the law upon the subject really was.—( Hear, hear.) He must say, that in his opinion that could not be better ascertained than by a Committee; if therefore the Noble Duke persisted in his motion for a Committee, he should support him. In some parts of the country there was a totally different punish ment for an offence that there was in others. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE wished to offer a few ob servations on the subject now under discussion. He continued to hold the same opinion now as he did when the Noble Lord brought forward the question, and when information wily made to this House that it was their duty to deal with tillr important subject, either in the shape of a Committee, or by Commission, or by avote. . He thought a Committee ought precede a Commission. The House was now in possession of the report of the Commission sent out to inquire into the state of prisons in America, satisfactory not only in itself, as comparison it showed us the state of gaols in this country. —( Hear, hear.) If the inquiry was to extend no further. than merely to the necessity of regularity and • uniformity o'; punishment, he thought it would he a great advantage. At present this was a point very much neglected, as they did 001 know in what degree they had the power to inflict punish. ment—( Hear, hear. )—as it depended at present on the dif ferent discipline of the various gaols, or upon the disCretim of the magistrates. At this . moment, there was tilt county of Fermanagh, should have been attributed to the corruption of the Ilibbatmen of the county of Leitrim, and thnt incu:-,ion cf sorre of the spirit of the people of the county of Leitrim wau'Ad be useful to Fermanagh, as Leitrim was one of the most peaceable counties in Ireland. Mr. HENRY GRATTAN rose amidst loud cries of "Or der, order."—He ( omplained that the Morning Herald of that macro ing—( G eat laughter)—words had berg attributed to him which he had never used. The report alice.ed that he had stated that a party of Orangemen, on a SunAay, had marched into Trim, headed by a Clergyman, armed with pistol, and that the men were in the service of the Honourable Member opposite. He (Mr. 11. Grattan) had said ,such thing ; but he had stated that these Orangemen had marched into Trim, and that they were after wards in the service, if not in the pay, of the Hon. Member. He had to complain of this as a very great breach of privilege, end he trusted that that paper would be more correct in its re- ports on another occasion. The case of the lion. and Gallant Officer was one which loudly called for the interference of the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose.-No man was more. indisposed than he was to bi:ing forward the subject of breach of privilege, or to find fault with the gentlemen who are has tily compelled to write the reports of the proceedings of this House, yet he thought that the language used by the news paper in question, in reference to the lion. Admiral, ought to be taken notice of. The Noble Lord then proceeded to read the paragraph complained of, which appeared in the Morning Post of yesterday. He thought it not advisable to brine- a question of this kind to issue when the passi,ms are excited in favour of one party, a Member of this House, and to censure another not belonging to it. He there fore gave notice that on to-morrow he should bring the question of breach of privilege in reference to this paragraph under the consideration of the House. Sir J. CAMPBELL presented a petition from certain in habitants of Dublin praying, as far as we could catch its pur port, that the order of the House for examining. the sufficiency of the sureties, in the case of the Dublin Election petition be discharged. Mr. - C. W. WYNN was understood to object to receiving the petition, lest by so doing they should seem to sanction its prayer. Sir. F.. RICE thought that every petition should be re ceived which did not contain improper expressions, and was open to no other objections stronger than those which were made against the one before them. By receiving a petition they did not sanction its contents--( Hear, hear)—but to reject petitions upon slight grounds was a bad precedent, and unjust to the community. If by permitting the petition they approved of its prayer or contents, he should hesitate as to receiving it ; but as that was not the case, he thought it better for the House not to interfere, and not to express an opinion on such an occasion. He concurred in the general principles laid down by his Right Hon. Friend; but he did not think that there were sufficient grounds to reject this petition. Mr. F. SHAW hoped the petition would not only be re ceived, but that the House would take the matter up and make some inquiry into the circumstances. He meant to make no charge agi.inst the Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite, but now for a second time the security and solvency of two highly respectable gentlemen were impugned. He could state that there were not two more respectable and solvent men in Dublin. One was the Lord Mayor of Dublin._(Hear, hear.) They were both gentlemen in business, and it was of the utmost importance to their cha racter that these charges should be investigated. Both those gentlemen, when their solvency had been impugned on a for mer occasion had travelled from Dublin for no other purpose than to meet the charges that had been made against them. lie would declare, upon his word as a gentleman, that he be lieved each of the gentlemen to be worth at least 20,0001._ (1 - sear, hear.) He trusted that the petition would be re ceived, and the matter investigated, provided it was not to put off the ballot upon the Dublin election petitions. They were gentlemen whose personal property was at the very least worth 40,0001. per annum ; he entreated the House not to let this go off on a mere point of form, but to investigate the matter verb closely.—(Cries ef " Question.") Mr. H. MAXWELL said he was perfectly satisfied, and he would vouch for the perfect solvency of the two sureties.— ( Question. ) Sir .101iN CAMPBELL hoped the House would allow the petition to be brought up, and then decide upon the question in its own way ; he did not mention the Lord Mayor, for the best of reasons, lie did not know it himself. The petition was respectfully worded, and he hoped it would be allowed to lie on the table. After a few words from Mr. H. GRATTAN, Mr. GO ULB URN rose and said that the question for the Houie to consider was not whether it should receive the peti tion, that was a small matter, but how far the House would commit itself by so doing, for they might be driven into this alternative, either to an inquiry into the solvency of the par ties or the truth of the allegations, he hoped that the Learned Gentleman would look into the petition, to ascertain if it con tained any allegations adverse to its reception by the House, and lie believed tile Learned Gentleman would exercise a just and sound discretion. SIR JOHN CAMPBELL would not discharge his duty to the the petitioners if he withheld it. So far as the matter rested with him, he certainly should persist in presenting the petition.—( Hear.) Mr. C UTI. A R FERGUSON said, the question of the jurisdiction of the House, was not the one which they had to consider, but whether it should be received or not. The pe tititioe complained, howdver, of the conduct of the sureties of the petitioners against • the sitting members, —one of whom was, he believed, an officer of that House. He admitted that the House ought riot to set aside the deci sion of the Examiners who were the proper persons to judge of the qualification of the sureties, but he saw no reason why the petition should be rejected. A great deal too much had been said about qualifications of the Lord Mayer, and the impropriety of calling his credit in question: but every per son who became a security put his character and credit in question—( Hear)—and he hoped the doctrine would never he recog,nized in that House that they were not at liberty to question the qualifications of any surety. It would be a dan gerous precedent to refuse to receive petitions complaining of grievances—( Question.) Mr. JAMES MAXWELL bore testimony to the solvency and respectability of the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and the other surety to the petition. Mr. ROBINSON observed that enough had already passed to show the impolicy of entertaining such petitions. If the present was entertained, other Hon. Members would have similar petitions to present; and before many days they should perhaps have a petition impugning the truth of the allegations in the present petition.—( Hear.) The House, in his opinion, had na jurisdiction in the matter, and he trusted it would not consent to receive the petition —( Loud cries of " Question, ,' and." Divide.") The petition was then read. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL said that he had done his duty, and he had nothing more to say in the matter. The petition was then withdrawn. COMMUTATION OF TITHES - IN ENGLAND AND WALES. Sir ROBEKT PEEL.—.I am about to call the attentien of the House to a question not connected with any party matter, but in which the public have long felt a deep interest. I allude to the facillitating the settlement of the Tithe question in England an d Wales. I approach the subject with great ,diffidence of my power to .settle it in a satisfactory manner.—( Hear.) To pre- Earfle otherwise would be . to betray a great ignorance of the objectionable matter.—( Hear, hear.) The House had h a d especially appointed persons to judge of the question of sureties, and the House should not encourage ap peals from them. He for his part would like to have the petition brought up in order to have it read, so that he might be able to judge how far it might go.. The petition was then brought up and read. Mr. LE FRO Y said, as it was now admitted upon all hands that the House had no jurisdiction in the case, why, he would ask, was the question pressed, unless for the purpose of casting an imputation upon the solvency of an honourable and respectable constituent of Dublin—upon the solvency of a man who was %yell known to be worth more than twenty times the amount of 500/., which at present was all he was to be answer able for. He felt it to be due to the respectable gentleman not to press upon the House such a course as would have no other teplency than to cast uiifiunded imputations upon an lion. Gentleman.—( Loud cries of " Question, question.") Sir R. PEEL then rose and said it appeared to him that there was a vast difference in the mere bringing up of a peti tion and the question that it do lie on the table. The Mem ber- presenting the petition might not, in his opening of its contents, put the House fully in possession of all its facts —supposing a petition to be presented in the usual form, which, on being brought up, was found to contain a charge affecting the personal character of any person, then the House might object to its being laid upon the table ; but if it was not brought up, the House could not be aware of of tha subject. The inconvenience has long been felt of taking the tithe in kind, and it is time the prayer of the public should be conceded. I will not trouble the I louse with a display of pedantic learning, or by referring to details, but will at once allude to the variety of interests connected with the question —to the bad effects of taking tithes in kind, on cultivation in discouraging improvements, in involving the owners of tithes in litigation with the payers of tithe, and I will take for granted that both the House and the country are unanimous in their desire that the question shouid be settled. I think, Sir, that a great object would be attained if we could devise any other mode by which this might be levied. At differ ent periods various suggestions have been proposed for attaining that object, and it is necessary that I should shortly review the principal features of those various suggestions ; but I do not hesitate to say, that if I thought that any - of' these suggestions were preferable to those which I am about to bring forward, or if, in the course of the discussion, it may .appear that any thing bet ter can be devised, I shall not hesitate to adopt them. because in submitting any measures to effect a settlement of this most important question, it is impossible to do so without great distrust and anxiety as to its probable re sults.-e-( Hear, hear.) The measures which have hitherto been devised for the settlement of the Tithe question have gone upon one or other of these principles.—( Hear, hear.) It has at one time been proposed that the tithe of the country should be valued, and after that valuation has taken place that an equivalent, either in land or in a corn rent, should be substituted for the amount of tithes. I apprehend, however, that if any measure were introduced, founded on that principle, it wou ld f a il to g i ve sat i sfact i on. If V . :ere were to be a strict valuation, exclusive of every other en deration, and exclusive of the forbearance of the clergy ma in the levy ; and if any equivalent were granted in lieu of tit s, founded upon a reference to its abstract value as imp ,ssib:e to refer to the evidence taken before the Agril cultural Committee, without find'ng, that there was an universe. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter before 4 o'clock, but the gallery was not opened till half-past 4, in consequence of there being two Ballots from Windsor and Canterbury. Mr. ADA:MS presented Returns from the Commissioners of the Holyhead Roads, and a Gentleman presented p a p er s from the Commissioners of Poor Laws. Mr. OSWALD brought in a Bill for supplying the suburbs of Glasgow with water. Mr. CRAWPORD presented a petition from the Corpo ration cf Butchers in London, against the Islington Market Bill. The Windsor Election Committee was then sworn, and re. tired to appoint a Chairman. POOR. LAWS. Mr. HOSKINS presented a petition from Bishop's Nor ton, He: - tfordshire, praying that that parish should not be united rith aay other for the purpose of regulating the Poor Mr. C. HINDLEY—Having seen the Secretary of the Home Department in his place some time ago, he intended to ask him if he noticed a circular isucd by the Poor Law Corn missioners, and sent to Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other counties. The Canterbury Election Committee was sworn, and retired to appoint a Chairman. IRISH CLERGY. Mr D. W. HARVEY moved fora return stating the man ner in which the one million voted to the Irish clergy has been appropriated, specifying the name and residence of each bor rower, the sum advanced, the amount of tithe alleged at the time to be in arrear, and whether for more than one year, clas sifying the defaulters La the amount of IL, Si., 51., 101., and upwards of annual tithe, the estimated yearly value of the borrower's preferment, whether the same is held with any other, and whether the duty of one or both preferments is discharged in person, with the name and title of the impro priator. _ _ Sir H. HAIMINGE thought that the returns would be impracticable, at least he was satisfied. that they could not be made without Very considerable expense, and not until a large portion of the SesSien had elapsed. The number of individuals that would be included in the return would not be less than 400,000. They must send Commissioners or bar risters to each parish, to make up the list of defaulters, and necessarily incur serious expense and loss of time. Mr. HUME did not believe that either the expense or the trouble would be found near so great as the Right Hon. Ba ronet anticipated, and if it were ten times greater, he thought that the inquiries ought to be made. Mr. O'CONNELL thought that he could show there was no difficulty in making out the returns asked for. Every one was at liberty to oppose the claim, and Government w•s bound to send down a barrister to investigate the matter. It was, therefore, only necessary to see that the copy was complete. • Sir H. HA RDINGE said that the million act had occa sioned two millions and a half of simple calculations, had oc cupied 95 clerks, 40 extra banisters at five guineas per day, and had cost 25,0001. There, was certainly no difficulty in making out that part of the returns spoken of by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, but in producing other informa tion connected with• tithe, it would be very expensive, and cause much delay and inconvenience, and- it was his duty to point this out to the House. Mr. D. W. HA RVE Y said he would comply with the sug gestion of the Right Hon. Baronet, and withdraw the motion. BANKRUPTCY COURT. Mr. I). W. HAR VEY moved for a return of the number of assignees appointed under the Act, establishing the Court of Bankruptcy, the number of fiats removed, amount of debts proved, dividends paid, expenses incurred, &C. &c. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Sir E D AR D COD RING TO N said he rose on`a ques tion of Breach of Privilege, as in the course of the discussion on Friday last on the subject of a petition in which he had felt himself called to take part, he had been misrepresented in his statements. The observation which he made was that great intimidation had taken place at the election for Devonport, and that he considered it arose very much in consequence of Mr. Dawson having hoisted the Admiralty flag, as weli as from the activity of a General of Marines. He did not say that he canvassed under the Admiralty flag. In consequence of this statement having gone forth in the public prints, Mr. Dawson had writtcn to him, in which he gave that state ment a flat contradiction. He (Sir E. Codrington) had also given it a flat contradiction in his answer to that gentleman. Mr. Dawson had sent that answer, as well as the rest of the other correspondence,, to the t Times and the 3forning Post. He (,Sir E. Codrington) should not detain the House whether the best course would not have been to have given him an opportunity of contradicting such a statement in his place in that House. It was not, however, so much of this part of the statement, as it was upon the subsequent course orsued by the Morning Post in commenting on the correspon dence, which, in his opinion, conveyed a censure so strong that he felt bound to bring it publicly before the House. The Hon. Baronet then read the statement:complained of, in which they vouched for the accuracy of tb's report, and concluded by ob serving that, in comparison of such conduct on the part of hint ( Sir E. Codrington), a direct Llseheod was a respectable and manly vice. - lie was tot much afraid of it, as far as af :ect ed his char ac t er , st ill h e t h oug ht i t necessary to take some notice of it. He was not, however, anxious to press the mat ter further, but would just. leave it foe the consideration of the House to deal with it as they thought fit. Lord CLEMENTS begged to call the attention of the House to a passage which appeared in the Morning Chroni cle of that morning, purporting to be a report ,of a few obser ,,ations which be had made on the subject of Orange socie ties. The Noble Lord read the passage, and observed that he rad said no such thin;.—(Hear.) He had always eonsi .lered it unbecoming the character of a Member of Parliament to prot , Tt or encourage exclusive societies, for he considered II illegal and exclusive societies, baneful to the peace 01 Ireland. He had never encouraged the formetion of either Ribor. or Orange Societies.. What he did say was that he! was surprised that the formation of Orange Societies in the concurrence, ea the part of the surveyors of the and others acqu tinted with the actual burden of the a.; respected tie rents and the tithe, it is impossiMe to r e f,.., 'to that evidenee, without finding that the tithe paid, or thy sums paid in lieu of tithes, - was lesi firm equivalent to tl-!0 value of the tithe, and without finding that the clergyman the minister of the Church of England had nand with greater forbearanee than the lay appropriator.—(Cheers.) Without adverting to the principles which had been proposed by others. He should only refer to the cornpo sitiens which had been the most recently submitted.— ' ( Hear, hear, h ear ) Th ese two principles were I.,rouglit for - successively in the years 1833 and 1834. by a Noble Lord who then held the ofile,e of Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had paid the greatest attention to the subject, was intimately acquainted 16th the interest involved,. and was deeply impressed with the necessity of its final adjustment.—( Hear.) In fulfillment of ; the ' pledges he had given, two measures were brought forward to settle this question as it was my duty, I have given every consideration ,to the principles of those Bills, and I need not say, that if the elements of those measures had appeared to me better than the one I shall have the honour to submit. I should have had no hesi tation in adopting them, and I am sure if the Noble Lord had been a Member of this House, I should had his support.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The 011 of 18.33 attempted :to have encouraged in the first instance a voluntary arrangement, it gave the period of a year within which the parties were at liberty to make an amicable compromise, but on the expiration of that year, the Bid gave either the power to appoint a valuer for the purpose of valuing the tithes. (LEFT SFEAKING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ['OUSE OF COMMONS, iffeßcu 23. CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION. Lord J. R U SSE L L presented three petitions of consider able importance as affecting the election for the City of Dublin, and which might also materially affect the Committee which was to be appointed on Thursday. He did not think it proper at this moment to deliver any opinion on the subject, but should canter': himself with stating the prayer of the petitioners. The petitioners bad sought the opinion of a very high legal authority (Sir T. Esdnille) on the nature of their re quest, and in accordance with that, they had requested him ( Lord John Russell) to lay before the House the three petitions he 110V7 •had the honour to present. One was signed by 1,400 elec tors of the City of Dublin ; another by 13.000 householders and inhabitants of the county ; whilst the third had received signatures of 4,000, living in the parish of St. James, in that city. The statements of the three petitions agreed in substance. They state that they do not wish to intesfeee with any election petition as disposed cf by this House, but as they under stand it is the intention of this House to inquire into the validity of • the registration of electors at the late election for Dublin, as well as to call in question the right of certain persons to vote, in not having paid their ceases, they are anxious to lay before this honourable House their sentiments on this oc casion. They state that in order to ascertain the validity of these parties, and to go into this scrutiny, the Com mittee as now established would render it necessary to bring over not lets than one thousand witnesses, and that the ex pense would average five pound each individual—an amount which would involve the City Representatives in a ruinous expense. They therefore pray that the scrutiny may be conducted by a Commissioner in that city, appointed by this House, instead of by a Committee, as now constituted. The Noble Lord then continued—That though he had con sented to bring these statements under the consideration of this House, as he had before observed, he did not feel it his duty to offer an opinion on the subject. \Vhether they were founded in justice, or not, he did not pretend to say, or if there were any legal remedy; now was not the time for enter ing on the subject. _ — Oa the petitions being brought up, Mr. SHAW said it was not in the power of this Roust to interfere with a petition affecting its representation, and as he thought, it was only a Committee of the House could enquire into it. So far as the expense of which they complained, eight would be sufficient to prove the case on the part of the petitioners. Lord J. RUSSELL said that certainly eight witnesses might be possible to establish the case as far as the petitioners were concerned, yet it mijht in all probability be absolutely necessary to subpcena them all on the part of the parties more immediately implicated. MANNING THE NAVY. Mr. BUCKINGHAM gave notice of a resolution relative to the encouragement of the enlistment of seamen for his Ma jesty's fleet, the purport of which could not be heard in the gallery. IMPORTATION OF CORN. Mr. BARING brought up the Report of the Committee en the illegal importation of corn into the channel. The Right Hon. Gentleman, in moving that the Report be printed, made a few observations which were quite inaudible. Mr. SPRING RICE trusted that the report would aff,id the necessary information to the House. EXECUTION AT WATERFORD. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that on the Capital Pu nishments' Abolition Bill (ns we understood the Hon. and Learned Gentleman), he should call attention to the case cf a man who had been executed at Waterford by mistake fCr another person.—( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. MAXWELL presented a petition from the handloom weavers of some town in Lanarkshire. COUNTY OF MEATH. Mr. H. GRATTAN seeing the Right lion„ and Gallant Officer, the Secretary for Ireland in his place, begged to ask two questions ; the first was respecting a grant of money, the object of which was not heard in the gallery; the second was whether it was the intention of Government to appoint the Noble Lord, the father of the late unsuccessful candidate for Meath (the Hon. Mr. Plunket), to the Lord Lieutenancy of that county. Sir H. I-1 A RDING E said, in 'reply to the first question, as it involved the rights of the Crown he could not give any decided answer to it. As to the second question, he believed it was the intention of the Government to appoint the Noble Lord (Dunsaney) to the situation of Lo r d-Li eu t enan t o f t h e county of Meath. A Message was received from the Lords. CARLOW ELECTION PETITION. The Clerk of the Crown and H:uiaper Office ( Ireland) was then called in. On appearing at the bar of the House, in re ply to a question from the SPEAKER, he stated that his name was John Hart, and that he had held his present situation, as Clerk in the Irish Hanaper Office for six months. In answer to Mr. Spring Rice, he proceeded to state that he had received a petition on the Carlow Election from a gentleman whom he believed to be Mr. Wallace, and that he told that gentleman, that it was customary, according to the rules and usage of the office, to lodge a copy of every petition. It was the chief clerk who informed him that such was the practice. The office closes at three o'clock, but kept it open till half-past three on the day in question to accommodate Mr. Wallace ; did not, in fact, leave the office on that day till near five o'clock ; had heard that Mr. Wallace , attempted to present his petition at a later hour ; only knew this from a letter published by Mr. Wallace ; that letter was true, except that it did not mention that I told Mr. Wallace that the otlce closed at three o'clock; the office was regulated in that respect by Plunkett's rules ; has heard of the orders of the House of Commons for regu lating the receiving of petitions, but was not aware of them at the time Mr. Wallace's petition was presented ; has since seen the ordeis, and finds that it is the duty of the Clerk of the Crown in Ireland to receive petitions and make a copy of them himself, and transmit the petition to the Speaker; the day in question was the last day for ieeeiving petitions ; there had been ten petitions presented that day • if I had been aware of the orders of this House at the time, I should have felt it my duty to receive the petition at the time it was tendered, but I could not make a copy of it. In answer to Mr. F. SHAW, W. Herl said that it was his duty to'send the petition by that night's post. Mr. SPRING RICE thought, under the circumstances that had been stated, the House would think there was no difficulty in the way of receiving the Petition. It was, however, evident, that • Mr. Wallace had done everything that was required of him. He (Mr. Spring Rice) thought, therefore, that he ought not to be de prived of his rights, in consequence of a misunderstanding by j the Officer of the routine of the House. At the time he moved that the Clerk of the Crown should attend, it was not from any difficulty he felt that he had pursued that course, bee from a desire that the House should hear from that person himself what he had done. If the officer had not performed his duty, it would have been for the House to have pursued the matter further. But as that was not the case, he (Mr. Rice) was not disposed to move anything with respect to that ques tion. Justice would be answered, in his opinion, by merely laying the petition upon the table. Mr. SHAW thought th e suggest i on o f t h e Right Hon. Gentleman perfectly reasonable. COUNTY OF GLARE ELECTION. The Hon. H. 1)1 AX WELL presented a petition from Mr. Baker, of Ennis, county of Clare, against the return of the sitting Member for that Burgh. Mr. O'CONNELL—The House ought to be apprised of the real facts of the case. The petition was from a Mr. Baker, of Ennis, in the county of Clare, and yet it appeared the party referred to, was a Mr. Maclaren of Cursiter-Street, Chancery Lane. Now he should like to know how this person could be interested in the city of Ennis. The sitting member had instructed him to say, that he }id caused an enquiry to be made, and that this report was without foundation. He thought it right the House should know something of this inconsistency. The notice is given by this person Maclaren, who describes himself there as of No. 6, Cnrsitor-street, but now, it it seems, has gone back to No. 5. This was a fact totally suppressed in the petition, and was it not manifest from this that there existed some collusion ? Why, he ( Mr. O'Connell) could arraign that affidavit as a perjury, He believed it was the general rule where persons were led into a mistake by others who had authority, then the House would give relief, but when a man ma,:e a mistake, as the agent or party, that was a case in which the House would not give relief. Under these circumstances, on the part of the sitting Member, he called upon the House to reject the petition. Mr. N. FITZItION objected to the petition be:ng read. Major HANDLEY had no hesitation iii saying that Mr. Maclaren was totally incapable of doing that which had keen attributed to him. Mr. SHAW knew nothing of Mr. Maelaren, but he was sure the House must be satisfied of the imposgibilty of bringing so serious a charge as perjury against any person who had acted as Mr. Maclaien had done. O . I.OUGHLEN thouht the 1.1:. , t;e ouch not to recetwe the petition. After a few trords front Mr. Preshfiell, Mr. Eti:lgeman, Colonel - Evan 3 , Mr. C. Wynn, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. ANtarbur ton, PC('l, cad Mr. Sp r i ng Ri ce , Sir IL PEEL thought that it would depen.l entirely on the fact of those circumstances being able to be scit4.taiitiattd. Mr. C. WYNN said that if they could be substarkiated, an inquiry should be mada at .the Bar of the floa:4i - !. After a f,:w words fron t Mr. WYNN, Mr. O'CoNN.aLL, and Mr. HARDY, the witr.ess having withdrawn, tb? motio.t was put and agreed to. PENSION LIST. Mr. CLAY begged to learn frem the Hon. and Learned :ember for Southwark (Mr. D. W. Harvey) whether he !nid i:ny intention of postponing his motion, fixed for the 7th May, for a consideration into the pension list, when he had also given notite of moving a call of the• Heme. He ( Mr. Clay)• had a notice of metion for the same day for an inquiry into the' existing state of the cern laws. Mr. D. \; HARVEY said that the Hon. Member had stated two facts that mere trce, namely, that he had sech a motion 1:_:A for that day, and that he intended to move a c4l of the Howe on the. o.ea.:icn; and he sllculd not postpone Lis motion. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE,. Mr. ROEBUCK begged to call attention to a breach of privilege committed by the Right Hon. Baronet opp os i te, t h e Chancellor of the Et.hequer.—( Hear.) They were sent to that House to speak their minds upon public co duct and pub lic men, and in the fulfilment of that duty the flori6urable Member for Middlesex had spoken in a manner of a certain course of conduct pursued by the Right Hon. Baronet, upon which the Right Hon. Baronet had adopted a proceeding that he (Mr. Roebuck) thonoht equally unfitCng either as a Minis ter of the Crown er a Member of that House. If such cwt_ duct were to he permitted, and by threats and intimidations Hon. Gentlemen were to lie ireluced to depart from chat they considered a proper line of conduct, there Would at once be an cud to all freedom of debate. lied he (Mr. Roebuck) been called upon to express his disapprebath n of the conduct pur sued by a Minister of the Crown in his place on the Opposition side of that house, he should have expressed it in a similar manner to the Hon. Member for Middlesex. They 7vere seat there by the people to speak their mind, which, it appeared, if they dared to do now-a-days, they were to have swords and pia tpls threatening their threats. Once before the Right Hon. Baronet had tried to intimidate an Han. and Learned Mem ber (Dr. Luehington), who was an Ecclesiastical Comrels sioner. Were such kind of proeeedings to be tolerated, bar ing advanced as we had to so high a stage of civilization, and was the truth of a question to be decided u p on b y s h oot i ng? It might be s a id th at t h e Right Honourab!e Baronet had no such was intent as had been intimated, but according to the usages of life it was well known that a communication such as that made by the Right Hon. Baronet could meet with but one interpretation. The appearance he put on was extremely warlike, and the Hon. Member for Middlesex, after receiving - hie. communication, Would, according to the bar barous opinion entertained upon this subject, have been bound. to call him out ; and, considering the state of civilization— ' considering the state of public morality, and that the conduct of the Members of that House ought to be something in the public eye—he did think that such conduct was highly repre hensible. And, as a Rep resentat i ve o f t h e people, sent there to speak his mind, he did call—" I do, Sir," said the Hon. Member, " call upon you to defend me and protect me.— (Cheers and laughter.) Ido call upon you, Sir, to shield mo, for I do choose to express my opinions, and I do not choose to be shot at."--(Loud laughter.) If it should. so happen that lie should use words that were Lot Parliamen tary that House was the place to canvass the propriety of such expressions, and an appeal to the Speaker, and not an appeal to pistols, the proper mode of arriving at a correct understand ing. From the high station occupied by the Right Hon. Ba ronet he thought that such was the course that ought to have beer adopted ; and that he who was the great champion of the Church ought to have been the last man to have had recourse to that savage and barbarous code of honoitr, and of attempt ing to prove himself _honourable by an appeal to arms. The Hon. Gentleman then, amidst much laughter, said that he should move that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been guilty of a breach of privilege. On being informed by the SPEAKER that such a proceed ing would be irregular, Mr. ROEBUCK would then move that the correspondence be read by the Clerk of the House. [The Clerk of the House then read the corresponience,, which was the same as appeared in The Sun of Saturday, bearing the signatures of Mr. Hume and Sir Robert Peel.] . Mr. S. RICE did not think that was a proper occasion for the interference of the House. He altogether dissented from the doctrines laid down by the Hon. Member, but still thought that they had no reference to the question, and had no busi ness wizh it.—(Hear, hear.) He should never accord with any man who attempted to raise up a principle that was to defy all correction. That threats of any kind should not be indulged in he would admit, but he thought that the present discussion tended very much to reduce that House from what it always had been, and he hoped always would be, an assem bly of Eaglish Gentlemen, animated by the nicest feelings of personal honour. .Sir ROBERT PEE L, much to the insult of his own feel ings, would trouble the House only with one word. His only motive in addressing the Hon. Member for Middlesex was that he (Sir Robert Peel) had taken offence, not intended he be lieved to be given, and lie wrote for the purpose of obtaining an explanation, arid having removed the unpleasant impression made oa his mind. A ease of a similar kind occurred only on the same evening. An Hon. Gentleman opposite, the Mem ber for Cork (Mr. F. O'Connor), had misunderstood some expressions that had fallen from him which, upon being men tioned to him, he felt great pleasure in explaining.. He was convinced that the impression created upon his mind from what fell from the. Member fo.- Middlesex was entirely erroneous, and that he said nothing intentioaally calculated to wound his feelings. He was s-:rry t' at this should have happened. He had now for twenty years been a Member of that liaise, and had been much engaged in angry party altercation, ai.d he bad no doubt at times spoken as warmly as ally one, and was per haps as much disposed to take offence as any Member of that House ; but he would confidently appeal to any one present that if they used language to any one not on their conduct as Members of the Government, but merely as applied to them as men, whether they would not be glad at having the opportu nity afforded them of making a proper explanation ? This was just as it was nigh the Member for Middlesex. He had never meant to give hint offence, and that was when made.knowa sufficient. The Hon. Member and he had come to the under standing of remaining on the same footing of political hostility as ever, but which was not to interrupt their intercourse in ally other respect. The matter was personal to him, and he should retire and leave the subject to the disposal of the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said that nothing could be more ho nourable than the conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet. •He thought that if motions of this kind were made on similar oc casions to the present, they would not tend to raise the charac ter of that House. The Noble Lord bore testimony to the caution exercised on all occasions by the Right Hon. Baronet, and alluded to the part lie took on the occasion of the House interposing its authority last Session in the case of Lord Al therp and Mr. Shiel. lie trusted the House would not pro.. ceed further in the matter. Mr. T. ATTWO OD said that the Right Hon. Baronet he considered had made himself subject to an Act that he himself, about ten years ago, was mainly instrumental passing through the Legislature. He alluded to what what was com monly called the Ellenborough Black Act. By that Act to pull a trigger against a gentlenvAn with intent to do him grievous bodily harm was capitol felony without benefit of clergy ; and he thought that the Right Hon. Baronet had rendered himself amenalile to that Act, and therefore was guilty of capital felony.—( Cries of Question, question.) He well recollected too that by that Act it was also made capital felony to wound a man with any blunt instrument.—(Th e Hon. Gen tleman sat down amid loud cries of Question.) Sir R. PE EL thought that the Hon. Gentleman had esta blished a case strongly against hi mse lf, f or h e h a d b een guilty of woundin g w i t h a blunt - instrument."—(Great laughter.) Mr. ROEBUCK feeling lie had done his duty in bringing the question before the House, would, with the permission of tie House, withd r a w hi s mot i on. Mot i on withdrawn accord . tag y. IRISII TITHE BILL. On bringing up the report on the Irish Tithe Bill, ,Lord J. It US SELL had no disposition to offer any impe diment at this stage of the measure, but it must not be inter preted into a full assent to the principle laid down in those resolutions. He hoped that when the subject was brought regularly before the House it would not be postponed until a late hour. On Monday he should bring the whole question of appropriation before the House, when he should enforce his notice of a call of the House, and he trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would not object to allowing the discussion on that day to take precedence of the Oder of the day. Sir R. PEEL said that as the Noble Loed had given no tice early in the Session of Ins intention, he would not insist on his right, an extreme exercise of right he would admit it to be, of moving the Order of the Day. But although he should not offer any obstacle, he did not approve of the course as a precedent. But if on the understanding that on the resolu tions being passed the Bill should be allowed to proceed, he should not consider. himself committed by that preliminary pro ceeding from taking any advantage that future opportunity should offer. The law as it at present stood, it must be re membered, was that the Clergy were to pay back the instal ments. It would be vet.) inconvenient for the Government to direct a cessation of the levy on the Clergyman for the reco very of the million, while it would be equally inconvenient for the Clergy to repay it. He, therefore, hoped the House would not interpose any obstacles in the way of the resolution. If the House would permit th resolution to pass, so that a ground, work might be made fcr the Bill, he would undertake not to pass it beyond any stage which should be thought proper, ua. til the question of appropriation should be decided. Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to suffer the Right Hon. Baronet to bring in the Bill on the assurance Which he had given the House ; neither did he think the House was dis posed to offer him any obstruction. He should wish how ever, that the Right Hon. Gentleman would also assure the House of its introduction at an earlier hour than twelve or one o'clock. Sir IL PEEL was understood to give the assuranc4 re quired. The report wrs then brought up and read. On the c,uestion that the resolution do pass beimm put from the Chair. Mr. HUME was anxious to see the Bill of t.'ne Right Hon. Baronet for the co;innutntion and settlemerl of tithes in Ire land, in order to see if any thing would hp done by it for that unfortu.late country. It was with that view that he should support the resolution for the purpose of enabling the Right , Hon. Baronet to bring in his Bill. There was, however, matter in the measure which he should most strongly object to ; for instance, that empowering the purchase of land out of
