Neither ?tie nor any of their Lordships was supposed to know all Cho appeals that were pending, but they might ascerta'At for themselves from the petition what had passed in Scotland, and consider the propriety of interfeting. There was such a thing as a schism from a church. but there was no such thing as schism from a sect. There was a great practical grievance in this com plaint of the petitioners. The Episcopal Church of Scotland was in that respect worse off than the Church of Reale, for a Romanist, if he recanted, could be re. ordained, and, if any one would give it him, enjoy a living of 4,0001. a year—(A laugh)—but a member of this so-called younger sister church in Scotland could not be re-ordained, or be presented to a living in the English Church.—(Hear.) He hoped that out of this long discussion justice and peace would result. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. THE NA VII: ATION-L ANT S. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that in cotrie quence of the I:4te hour, he would defer the Commi t t ee on the navigation•laws from this evening until Mum. day, when he hoped they should proceed wivli the ques tiun without the presentation of any petitions again postponing the question.—(A laugh.) Their Lordships adjourned at Ten o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 22. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Five minutes befog Four o'clock. LORD DUDLEY STUART.

Unless Parliament prevents the use and sale altogether of the deadly poisons whirl now disgrace the chemists' shops of the country, the whole social system is placed in con stant jeopardy. Mr. Morison, the Hygeist, proved by facts that such poisons are totally unnecessary in the cure of diseases ; nay, that so far from such poisons tending to cure any disease, the very reverse is fact. The admission by doctors themselves that these poisons aresufficient to kill in fractions of a grain, one would have sup posed would have opened the eyes of the world on such a pal pable question, and nothing but the complete state of ignorance in which the people have been kept.as regard the cause of diseases can account for the'evil having been allowed to continue so long. Poisons, the public should bear in mind, are the means by which doctors keep the people under their thumbs. The guinea trade depends upon such poisons. Take them away and there is immediately an end to the mystery and contusion which at present enshroud the science of medicine. All the cases of poisoning which have lately occurred proceed from the parties having taken a lesson from the doctors. The doctors, as the patrons and intro ducers of such poisons, are responsible for such poisonings ; and bear in mind that when such poisoning occurs under the doctor, it is not then called poisoning, but when a mis creant commits the deed, it is then called murder, and the doctors then appear as witnesses against the parties, although they themselves are the patrons and introducers of those very poisons which have been used by the poisoner, Can any thing be moreJesuitical ? The fraud cannot last much longer. The reason that doctors have abused Mr. Morison is because, by his theOry (known as the Hygeian system, in the carry ing out of which he only employs innocuous vegetables purgatives), he has exposed these poisons of the doctors as totally useless, and that they are in short brought before the public to support the " guinea trade." If proof were further required that these poisons are all humbug as regards the cure of diseases, it might be found in the fact that doctors are every six mo n th s b r i ng i ng out some new po i son, on l y more subtle and de a dly th an the last; this they do by the aid of chemist r y, an d they call it science. Oh! oli ! We now beg to call th e attention of your readers to the followingl4 8 petition, signed by near l y 20 , 0 00 persons, presen ted in 7 by Sir Benjami n H a ll , t h e Member for this b orou gh. It is as follows : Copy of the people's petition against the medicinal use of poisons,, presented to the House of Commons on Tuesday, the 15th June, 1847, by Sir ilernamin Hall, Bart-, M.P. : "To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled. The humble petition of the undersigned showeth, that your peti tpdoiiinffsoenrenn tioners have observed with great alarm the numerous cases of secret poisonings which have lately occurred throughout the country, effected by prussic acid, arsenic, or other deadly chemical preparations. That your . petitioners humbly sub effecting such secret poi sonings, that so Jong as such deadly poisons are held out occee necessary s e between eteon produce uce feloniousdea tdeath medi cinally' by a certain portion of the medical profession, great poisoner and the licensed practitioner in medicine with facilityrspe et ow becauseti h i l e a q l u w a at n yh t se i quantity li t ys is only a question of a few grains or diops. That your peti tioners humbly submit that no man, however educated he may be, is capable of determining the quantity of such rank poisons that would not be fatally injurious. That your petitioners are informed, and verily believe, that many hon est and eminent medical men altogether dissent from the ad ministration of the before-mentioned rank poisons, such as the hydropathic doctors, &c. That your petitioners beg to re mind your Honourable House that the question now agitated by the temperance people throughout the world, in regard to the propriety of checking, by legislative enactment, the manu facture and sale of alcoholic poison, so destructive to the lives of thousands, is in point of fact the very same in principle as that for which your petitioners now contend. Your petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray your Honourable House that a Comniission may be appointed, consisting of scientific per sons having no interest whatever, either directly or indirectly in `tbe issue, to inquire whether the befor e - mentioned rank poisons are really and truly necessary in the practice of medi cine; and that if it be found that they are not necessary, then that your Honourable House may be pleased to enact that the sale and manufacture of suck chemical poisons may be put under proper restrictions, in so far as the lives of the people are concerned, or adopt such other course as to your Honourable House may seem fit. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.—[N.B.—Signed by 19,950 persons.] One would have supposed, after this expression of public opinion, doctors would have deemed themselves bound to give some public explanation about these poisons. No— they say nothing. The day h as gone by when such an ap peal might have been treated with contempt, and we frankly tell them that there are thousands and thousands, not only in this country, but throughout the world, who look with horror and detestation at the terrible poisons which now disgrace medicine, but which are still upheld that the guinea trade may thrive.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from certain of the clergy of the Established Church against the lay impropriatien of the tithes. AFFAIRS OF THE RIVER PLATE. The Earl of HARROWBY asked whether any ar rangement Iral been entered into with Gtneral Rosas with regard to the affairs of the River Plate, whether the account of such arrangement which had appeared in the newspapers was true, and whether her Majesty's Government had ratified such arrangement? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that a negotia tion was pending, and was not yet concluded, but he hoped it would lead to a satisfactory result. (In con sequence of the loud tine in which conversation was carried on by a group of persons at the foot of the Throne, the answer of the Noble Marquis was almost inaudible.) The Earl of ABERDEEN said that if the arrange ment took place upon the bases which he had proposed it would be satisfactory. He had beard that modifica tions were to be introduced, but he would state that no arrangement should be entertained which did not ac knowledge the independence of the state of Monte Video, which had been guaranteed by this country. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE made a few observa tions which were completely inaudible., SOUTH-WESTERN AND GREAT WESTERN by when even the " thunders of the Vatican " had ceased to have the terrors and effects which formerly marked them. These, then, were not the days in which excom munications were much to be feared; but if there was one thing more to be feared than another, it was that that 'the Bishop of one Church should have the power to excommunicate the ministers of another communion. The Bishop of EXETER thanked the Noble Duke who had just sat down for the sentiments which he had given expression to. He rejoiced in the sentiments of the Noble Duke on the question of excommunication. and he earnestly wished that excommunication could have no temporal operation whatever; and he wished that it was abolished as havingsuch effect; but be could, however, tell the Noble Duke that excommunication from the Church, when resorted to on right grounds, consequence sentence Was to be approved of. The mere object of locking up in gaol was utter l y b esido,the question, and be hoped it would ple ase G o d to g i ve the parties against whom it might he pronounced of. the the gra eh of d e T th he e repenitenceacht h b e e m fo . r Church of England was a branch of the Holy Catholic Church, but had no jurisdiction ,beyond its own limits. It was the duty of the members of the Church of Eng land going within the jurisdiction of another church, if it was a sound branch of the Holy Catholic Church, are bound to comply with the laws of that . Church. Now, if these parties were not members ; of the Church of . Eng. land, what right httd they to call upon their Lordships to interfere with the Church of Scotland? Dird BROUGHAM—The Episcopal Church of Scot- ' land. The Bishop of EXETER—He would call it what be pleased.—(Laughter and cheers.) If he spoke contrary to an Act of Parliament, the Noble Lord might have his words taken down. Lord BROUGHAM— Ob, no, no! The Bishop of EXETER—It was one of those offers be knew which were seldom accepted, but he hoped the Noble Lord would allow him to, proceed without inter ruption. The Episcopal Church of Scotland was only tolerated, and therefore it would be tyranny to legislate for it. In the times of James the First, the Bishops of the Scotch Church rejected certain portions of the liturgy of the Church of England, claiming the right to adapt it to their own use. The liturgy which was so adapted had obtained the preference of some of the greatest names in the Church of England, as more conformable to primitive purity, and more in resemblance with that of Edward the Sixth. It was not only many Bishops of 'the Church of England that preferred the liturgy of the Church of Scotland, but the Church which was esta blished in America, only since the declaration of inde• pendence, adopted that liturgy. , His principle had no thing to do with the law of the land, but with the law of the Church, which he contended gave these Bishops in Scotland power to exercise jurisdiction independent of the law. Lord BROUGHAM said the Right Rev. Prelate had takon exception to the designation of a Roman Catholic Bishop , in Ireland as the Bishop of a diocese, and intimated he should be designated, not of, but in Ireland. The Bishop of CASHEL said be could not admit that a member of the Church of England was bound to unite in worship with the Church of Scotland unless it held the truth, no more than they could with the Roman Catholic Church ; and in making that declaration he did not consider that he violated the discipline of the Church in refusing to commune with the Episcopal Church of Scotland, when he considered it er roneous, no more than be would in refusing to commune with the Epiacopal Church of Rome because it was erroneous. With regard to the prayer-book of Edward VL, it retained a great deal of the Roman doctrine. There was in that book mention of an altar and a sacrifice. The Church of Scotland made this prayer-book of prime authority, and went farther than it by introducing words more resembling transubstantiation. He contended that members of the Church of England in Scotland should have the right of having the service of the Church of England for their use. The complaint made against the Church of England was that it had not gone far enough from Rome;, but the charge against the Episcopal Church of Scotland was that it was going back to Rome. The Earl of MINTO said he was, like the Noble Duke on the cross benches, quite indifferent to the dis pute between the parties. He was against the Episcopal Church of Scotland being placed upon any other loot ing than that of a sect. He did not moan to say that the Scotch Episcopalians might not labour under dome grievances which it might be well to remove, and he thought they should be placed on the same footing as any other c'ass of Dissenters.--(Hear, hear.) The Bis Lop of EXETER, in explanation, said, that as long as the Church of Scotland was the Established Church, he would not deny its lawful right to the st a tutes of the Established Church. The Duke of lIUCCLEUCII said he had no inten- tion, in the few words he wished to addrisss to their Lordships, to enter into the details of the question under The EpiScopalians of Scotl:l4. did nu as some for their Church any right oriraus as the Esta blished Church, but they did seek for it a status as an Episcopal Church. When he (the Duke of Duecleuch) saw persons who were brought up in the ut,iversties— who were holding the cure of souls, and who were men of high character and talent, when he saw these men accept of their ch , ction to become Bishops in the Epis copal Church of Scotland, and who were distinguished us its ard( nt supporters, he could not believe that there was anything in the dtictrine of that Church to favour the supposition of error which had been attributed to it.— (Hear, hear.) In conclu,ion, the Noble Duke said he did not see in what way their Lordships could interfere in the matter. Lord BROUGHAM said a few words in explanation. The Bishop of OXFORD said he would not have ad dressed their Lordships out for what had fallen from his Right Rev. Friend (the Bishdp of Cashel). His Right. Rev. Friend had complained of the mode of administering the Lord's Supper by the Episcopal Church of Scotland, and alleged that it was more of a Popish character than anything else. They had just had a statement that they were in communion with that Church, and yet his Right Rev. Friend had considered himself justified in speaking of it in terms such as he had adverted to. The opinions held by Bishop Horsley had been alluded to, and it ap peared he said that au appointment to a Bishopric in Scotland was no better passport to the English Church than an appointment in Mesopotamia. His Right Rev. Friend (the Bishop of Cashel) said the Episcopal Church of Scotland was one with which they should not have any communion, and he concluded by quoting the pas sage—" Come out from among them, and be ye sep.:- rate." Novi, he would ask, was it right that such language should be held regarding a Church with which they were in communion? It was charged against the Episcopal Church of Scotland, that the prayer used in administering the Sacrament was Roman Catholic in its character; but he (the Bishop of Oxford) would con tend, that so far from such being the case, it was a prayer that the Roman Catholic Church rejected alto lether. The Right Rev. Prelate then entered into an examination of the doctrines held by the Roman Ca tholic Church with reference to the Sacrament. and con tended that, as regarded trausubstantiation, the Scotch Episcopal Church held an entirely different doctrine. It, then, there was a readiness to take up offence where no offence was intended, he would ask what could be more dangerous than to let such statements go forth?—(Hear, hear.) He would also remind their Lordships that Mr. Drummond had stated that the Scotch communion office was not the reason of his leaving the Scotch Episcopal Church. He thought their Lordships should be cautious bow they exercised any interference in such a matter. The people of Scotland hated the Pope for three reasons:—first, they hated him because he was a Catholic, second, because they believed him to be the Scarlet Lady, and, third, they hated him because he was a bishop. Any interference the House could exercise was of a legal character, and he would ask their Lord ships, were they prepared, in the face of the union be tween the two countries, to endeavour to set up any episcopacy whatever against the ancient Episcopacy of Scotland, and the established, but, as ho thought, mis taken religion of the country. The Earl of HARR° WBY said he must agee with the Right Rev. Prelate who had just resumed his seat, that it was very difficult to find any ground whatever for inte.rference. The Church of England recognised mem bers of the Church of Scotland as members of its own community, and it would be as absurd to give the Bishop of London, for example, jurisdiction over a Scotch clergy man, as it was proposed should be exercised over the ap- f pointment of chaplains at foreign ports. The reason of, the disadvantages under which many English clergymen in Scotland often lay was, that they adhered too closely to the liturgy which they originally accepted, when they were ordained. Earl PO WIS wished to suggest to the House whether their Lordships bad not been discussing at too great length the question whether accleorgs clergyman serve in me:n of the Church of England and Ireland col. d n Scotland under the Episcopalian Church of that country. If their Lordships had contented themselves with bring ing the argument within narrower time alvie got through themits, it was pro bable that they might by that have Committee on the navigation-laws. He would not enter into the question of the status of the Scotch Episcopal Church, because he thought that this petition was merely a fishingpetition, intended to, prejudice their Lordships minds in the case of Bishop Skinner and Sir William Dunbar, which were about to come before their Lordships in a judicial capacity. 'There was no occasion to preju dice their Lordships with reference to those cases, be cause they had already been stated cx parte in Scot land, and had been pronounced upon by the Learned Judges of that country, on an appeal from which they would shortly be beard at the bar of their Lordships' House. The Earl of GALLOWAY said he felt sensibly that the petitioners had a grievance to complain of, and that they were perfectly right in representing to the House the practical tyranny exercised over them by the Epis copal Church of Scotland. The views of the Right Reverend Prelate the Bishop of Oxford went to un church every denomination of Christians except Epis copalians, not only in Scotland but in England. He felt most warmly on this subject, and he was convinced that, without doing any violence to the body of the Episcopal Church, or to the opinion of the Right Rev. Prelate, the wishes of the petitioners might be substan tially acceded to. Lord BROUGHAM replied he did not think that the observation of the Noble Earl behind him (Earl Powis) thllt OAS was a fulling petition, designed tc elicit the WINDSOR GREAT PARK, Desirable and compact FREEHOLD RESIDENCE for a moderate establishment, with a rich little Farm adjoining, the .whole in the most perfect order, with possession.

PRICE TWO GUINEAS. THE 2s.TICOLL PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65, , f Nicoldan or Llama cloth, is the most agreeable and g ntlemanly ;arment for the rre ent season, and its moderate price (viz., two guineas) . will place it withi the reach every one Sutjoot to tho income tax; besides this, its great d,rahility and most graceful ap pearance will form other and Most powerful grounds for recommen dation. •• The word paletot Is now assdmed by many, but H. J. and D. NICOLL are the sole Patertees of the design, the address of whom is 114, 116, 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, COENIIILL. THERE is a novelty introduced for this season consisting in a BODY GARMENT, which is called NICOLL'S MottNING COAT ; and as it is especially intended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily avoids the stiff for mality to na observed in the cut and form of the Dress-coat. The price is TWO GUINEAS, to be obtained only at 114, 116, and 120, REGENT-STREET, and 22, CORNHILL. RAILWAYS. Lord BROUGHAM said that the directors of these railways had stated that the sum of 85,0001. had been paid to the Government on account of these railways with regard to certain branches leading to Windsor. de wished to know whether any account had been ren dered of this money, for it was stated that there was no record of receipt by the Government. The Earl of CARLISLE said that he bad conducted the negotiations on the part of the Government with re gard to the passage of these lines through Windsor ; that he had appeared before the Committees of both Houses of Parliament, and been examined during the passing of that Bill, and that the whole history of the transaction appeared in the preamble of the Bill. Lord BROUG HA M—Was the sum mentioned? The Earl of CARLISLE—Either in the preamble or the clauses. The Duke of CLEVELAND considered the Great Western Company had been hardly used. The subject then dropped. EPISCOPAL cuußcEr, SCOTLAND. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Episcopalians of Scotland, and in so doing, he would abstain from stating his opinion either in favour or against the petitioners; but it would be no de parture from the rule, if be expressed his opinion with regard to those who may have conducted them• selves rashly in an un-Christian, or illegal manner. The petitioners used the liturgy of the Church of England, which none had a right to alter. In Scotland these members of the Church of England were sectaries and Dissenters. There were other secta ries in Scotland who had taken it into their heads that they were less sectaries than the petitioners. The peti tioners subscribed to the Thirty-nine Articles, and used without alteration the Liturgy of the Church of Eng land. Not so the others; they used a liturgy different, and in the usa of that liturgy the petitioners would not concur, because it contained matter to which they could not agree. The Noble and Learned Lord then a great length traced the history of the Scotch Episcopalian Church since the Reformation, which he contended ex pressly showed that that Church had never been recog nised by the Anglican Church as an Established Church professing the same form of religion. Although these Scotch Episcopalians at first only endeavoured to make themselves equal to the other party, they attempted, as soon as they had succeeded in their preliminary point, to make themselves superior to them. The way in which they set about this was to stigmatise them as schismatics. A clergyman of the Established Church of England, who had subscribed to the Thirty- nine Articles, without any sacred mental reservation, or undisclosed scruples, had been denounced at the altar of this Scotch Church, and upon the sentence being referred to one of the judges of Scotland, that Darned Judge said there was au ex cess of violent language in it, which was quite uncalled for, and which could scarcely be exceeded. There was a difference, indeed, between the Liturgies of the two couutiies, but those were of a nature to show that this selt• styled Episcopalian Church was at best but a body of sectarians and oissenters. The petitioners might be very bad theologians, but it appeared to him sufficiently clear that they were entided to prefer, if they chose, the reterey of the Church of England to the Liturgy of the spurious Church of Scotland. The effect of the distinc tion between the two bodies was seen most strongly in this particular. When an English clergyman left Scot land to go to a living in some English diocese, the Bishop of that diocese required him to produce a testimonial from the Scotch Church. Now, supposing the clergy man to have belonged to the other party, although he had used the Liturgy of the Church of England during his residence in Scotland, that same Liturgy by which he would be guided in his new ministry, and although he might bring with him a testimonial from a member of the religious body in Scotland with whom he had associated himself, still his licence would be referred. ,He could not refrain from expressing his regret at the existence of these differences and aspe rities between these two classes of religious men, both of which he knew to contain members of the most exalted virtues, and exemplary piety. He was anxious that these should disappear as speedily as possible, and that a general harmony might again prevail in Scotland, un impaired by schism and class animosities. The Noble and Learned Lord concluded by reading the prayer of the petition, which was to allow periodical visitations of English or Irish bishops into Scotland, for the purpose of seeing that all classes of religious men in that country enjoyed equal religious rights. The Bishop of SALISBURY said that he did not mean to deny the statements of the Noble and Learned Lord who had just spoken, with regard to the present position of the Episcopalian Church in Scotland, but he did not think it followed, from his explanation of it, that that Church had no existence which they could recognise, because it was not endowed, and bad no jurisdiction in ecclesiastical affairs. The Church of Christ did not exist until the time of Constantine. in the manner in which the Noble Lord seemed to contend that it ought, in order to be recognised as such, though the promulgation of its divine maxims, and their extensive adoption, had taken place some centuries before. The Episcopalian Church of Scotland had been placed under the ban of the law down to the time of Queen Anne, on account of the political feelings of which its members were suspected, bat at that time the meetings of the community on the Sabbath-day, and the performance of religious ceremonies according to their own ideas, were made legal, to that extent, therefore, this church had a recognised existence. Their Lordships would be very wrong were they to suppose that the peti tions brought forward by the Noble and Learned Lord re presented the general feeling of the people of Scotland on this subject. The question was one which could not but deeply concern them as a body of English Bishops. The Right Rev. Prelate referred to the opinions of Bishop Horseley, setting forth that the Legislature of this country would be guilty of a direct infringement of the Act of Union, it it were to interfere in this matter by any but a Legislative proceeding, and if their Lordships should sanction " visitations" of the Bishops of the Established Church of England and Ireland to Scotland, it could be only by Legislative enactment. He believed the Episcopalian Church of Scotland to be well grounded in all essential principles of the Christian Church; and while I.e honoured the Church to which he himself belonged, he repeated that their Lordships ought not to interfere in this matter unless on strictly legal grounds. After a few words from the Earl of SUFFOLK, The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, who was almost inaudible in the gallery, confessed that he felt a sym pathy for those clergymen is ho were ordained in Eng land, and he could nut deny that he felt for those clergy men who, so ordained, found themselves interfered with in the manner complained of in the discharge of their duties in Scotland. With respect to those clergymen of the Church of England who had been engaged officiating in Scotland, he should not object to receive them into the Church of England, provided they brought satis factory testimonials as to doctrine and couduct.—(Hear.) The Bishop of WORCESTER felt himself called upon to say that he concurred in the prayer of the petition, and he considered it to be his duty to state that he, for one, should always be ready to receive into his diocese any clergyman ordained in the Church of England, and bringing with him from Scotland testimonials properly authenticated.—( Hear.) After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, The Duke of ARGYLE said that no one could feel more deeply on this subject than he felt.. It was the right and it was the duty of their Lordships to legislate on the ecclesiastical affairs of the Episcopal Church of Scotland; and he confessed he thought it was a hardship of great magnitude that clergymen, on returning to England from i the Episcopal Church of Scotland, should be subjected to the great inconvenience of which the pe titioners complained, as resulting from certain ecclesi astical proceedings in Scotland. He was, however, delighted to hear the sentiments uttered by the Arch bishop of Canterbury and by the excellen t Prelate, the Bishop of Worcester, ou this subject , in relation to their willingness to receive any clergymen o f the Episcopalian Church of Scotland, bringing wit h them satisfactory testimonials, and lie wished that Sothofaser senti mentsastlie might be generally acte d u p on. prayer of the petition went, he considered that it was un advisable and inexpedient; but ho ,trusted that the pe titioners would be most effectually defended, and that they would be treated in the spirit recommended by the Bishop of Worcester. With respect to the question of " excommunication," ho denied the right of anybody to excommunicate any clergyman who did not belong to his own Church. It was of utter indifference to him whe ther the prayer of the petition was responded to or not by the Right Reverend Prelates; but this ho would say, that the day was now passed when excommunication was not so much regarded; and they had heard from a Noble Lord of thek Lordships LIMO ) that the day Was gone NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. NEWDEGATE a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a Member for South Warwickshire, in the room of Mr. Shirley who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. POOR RELIEF. Lord NUGENT said he would, on an early day, move for a Committee to inquire into the pucticability of charging the relief of the destitute poor in Englund and Wales on the general funds of the country. - PRIVATE BILLS. The reports on the following private Bills were taken. into consideration, and agreed to:— Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Rail way (Abandonment of Part of Line, Extension to Lon don and North Western Railway, &c.) Bill. Cockermouth and Workington Railway (Branch to Bridgefoot, Amendment of Act, and Power to lease to Whitehaven Junction Railway Company) Bill. Congleton Inclosure Act Amendment Bill. TIIE DERBY DAY. The Marquis of GRA.NBY rose to move that this House will, at the rising of the House of this day, ad. journ till Thursday neat. lie thought it would be unne cessary to cxll:i.ti the object with which he brought for ward that nrotion.--(A. laugh.) It had been an immemorial cu teen for the House to adj , m; n on the day usually called the Derby-clay, for the purpose of taking part, or so many of the Members as eho,e to do so, in a great national recreation. Ile would remind the Reuse, as an . tidditioncl reason for agreeing to his tnotr.ni, -tslfus---4hey had been deprived this year of one of their holidays by reason of her Dlsjesty's birth-day falling on a Saturcluy.—(l,tighter.) Besides, there were officers beloug,iog to the 'louse who wanted to go and see the Derby run for. S — :r GEORGE GREY said, tor his part, he was not prepared to vote in favour of the motion unless there was a general wi,h fur the adjournment on the part tf the House. Mr. AGLIONBY (amid loud cries of "Divide") protested tigairn,t the !louse adjournii,g over to-morrow, inasmuch as he had a very important Bill for the en franchis:-Inent of copy holds to briirg beture the House tu• morrow, ivhich had several times already been post poned. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD took the same view of the motion as the Hon. Member for Coekermouth. After a few words from Mr. ANSTEY, who would vote in favour of the motion, Mr. REYNOLDS said it was not his intention to op pose this motion, unless he gut a satisfactory answer from the First Lord of the Treasury to a question he would ask. It was quite clear-that the Hon. Member for Cockermouth had not "made up a book"— (Laughter)—and that " Chatterer" was no favourite in that House.—(Laughter.) Ile deeply regretted that the Hon. Member for Ceckermouth had not made up a book" for this, among other reasons, that Chatterer was an Irish horse.—(Laughter.) He would ask the Members of the Government if they were going to the Derby?—(Laughter.) In that event he would most cordially vote fur the motion. The gallery was then cleared for a division, and on our re-admission there app'.ared— _ • For the motion Against it ..., ... 138 ... 119 Majority .•• --19 The result was received by a portion of the House with great cheering. Mr: LABOUCLIERE moved that the Committees have leave to sit to -morrow, notwithstanding the ad journment of the House. After a few words from Mr. AGLIONBY, The motion was agreed to without a division. DURATION OF PARLIAMENTS. Mr. D'EYNCOURT rose to move for leave to bring in for shortening the duration of Parliaments. The Right Hon. Gentleman, who was very indistinctly heard, said there was scarcely a meeting of any importance held in this country where the proceedings or conduct of that House were discussed, in a hich the question of shorten ing the duration of Parliament, and thereby increasing the responsibility of the Members of the Mouse of Com mons, had not been made matter of deliberation. H a trusted he would not be charged with impropriety a; instead of waiting the result of agitation, he thought' preferable course was to bring this question before th e House now.—(Hoar, hear.) It was a question whiel at the time of the Revolution of 1688 occupied a cues tiler able share of attention ; and in the Bill of Rights 'A was declared to be the right of the people of Englar that Parliaments should frequently assemble. In 1 . 694 t h e question was brought more into shape, and the 'triennial Act passed, though, as he would afterwards . show, un necessarily repealed. It could not be s i t th a t thi s question had been pressed unncessartly; on ',he contrary, he had been blamed for being too lax regty ding it. He had suffered two Parliaments to go by wrihour bringing it forward, precisely for the same reason that the people had during that period not . petitionel use House on the subject, viz., because they did not believe there . was any disposition on the part of Parliament give a favour able consideration to the proposal. Whether the pre sent Parliament would show a more fe vourable disposi. tion remained to be seen ; and thcrerore, atter a period of twelve years, he had deemed it h is d uty to bring it t o rward as a question , of public right. — (l - lear, hear.) By "public right ' he meant th at P arliaments should not continue longer than was suf fi c i ent to secure thei responsibility to the people.—(Bear.) Formerly Vie people of this country enj o y e d b y practice and by ha bit sessional Parliaments. That habit and practice ebn. tanned up to the time of the Tudors and Stuarts, I s h ee there took place a gross usurpation on the part (,f the Crown.' In 1694, as he had already stated, the Tfiennial Act was passed, being intended to secure the ' country from the disadvant ages th at na d fl owe d f rom t,lie Long Parliaments. The preamble of that Bill recolpised fre quent Parliaments as warranted by the ancient l aw o f the kingdom. It continued in operation 10'.. twenty-two years, and he believed there were no statu ces that more adorned the statute-book, or had greater regard to the diguity of Parliament and the liberties of the people, than those passed during this period. But the Rebel lion of 1715 was made a pretext for putting an end to the Triennial and passirg the Septennial Act, for it was supposed that at the next election an attempt would be made on the part of those who supported the cause of the Petender to return men who wouldenw deavour to change the dynasty, and restore the Stuarts. The passing of the Septennial Act, he contended, was a complete coup 'fetal—an act of revolution; because, no thing could be more outrageous than that a Parhument elected for three years should vote its own continuance for seven years. He then proceeded to show th at t h e main grounds assigned for its passing were unjustifiable —viz., that triennial Parliaments occasioned greater ex pense than septennial; and that they were d estruct i ve of the peace and security of . Government. The se were mere pretexts. The Septennial Act, however, became the law of the bind, and so aisgusted did the people of England become with its working, when they found the great difference there was between the conduct of their. representatives under it and their conduct under the Triennial AO, that II motion for it, repelll wo,/ mule is 1837 1838 1839 1840 1841 1842 1843 1844
