Lord DUNCANNON took the oaths and his scat as Baron Duncannon, of Besborough, in the county of Kilkenny. His Lordship's supporters were Lord Auckland and the Marquis o Conyngham. many opportunities himself of addressing your Lordships. —( Laughter.) And if he had not interrupted me I should have finished by this time what I had to say. The No ble Marquis then proceeded to say that he did not understand why any of his Majesty's subjects, having the.privi lege for seven years of sitting in an assembly, should have the opportunity of slandering their fellow-subjects, which those out of doors would be punished for so doing. He considered it was as much for a Member to restrain his tongue, as fora Member to restrain his pen.—( Hear.) He wished to explain the reason he had framed his motion in the manner in which he had done, and which the Noble Lord objected to. When he applied to his Majesty's Go vernment for the copies of this correspondence, he had been told that he must apply to the House for extracts, and therefore the motion, was literally in the shape in which his Majesty's Ministers had wished it. _ Viscount MELBOURNE was understood to - admit this to be the fact, but gave some explanation, which, from the low tone of voice it was uttered in, could not possibly be heard in the gallery. The motion was withdrawn for the present in order to be amended. ESTABLISHED CHURCH. Petitions were presented in favour' of the Established Church by the Duke of WELLINGTON froth parishes in the county of Lincoln, and the Earl of SIIAFTESBITAY from pa rishes in the county of Leicester. BEER BILL • The Earrof RADNOR presented petitions from Hunting. don against any alteration in the present Beer Laws. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Lord MARCUS HILL, Mr. MARJORIBANKS, and other Mem bers of the House of Commons, brought up the Cromelin Harbour Bill, the Punishment of Death in Cases of Robbery Abolition Bill, the Scotch Catholic Marriagts 13111, and the Exchange of Lands in Common Fields Bill. IRISH GRAND JURY BILL. The Earl of WICKLOW, seeing the Noble Viscount at the head of his Majesty's Government in hii place, would take that opportunity of asking him a question relative to this Bill. Previously, however, to doing so, he would explain to their Lordships the reason which induced him to adopt that course. Their Lordships would recollect that in the latter part of the last Session of Parliament a bill was brought up from the other House called the Irish Grand Jury Act ; at the period when the Noble Viscount moved the second reading of that Bill, he proposed to their Lordships to postpone. its further consideration, believing that there were'many pro visions in it which required more attention than could be given to it at that late period of the session. Another reason which induced him to make that suggestion was, that the Bill was not to come into operation until the month of May in the present year, upon the understanding that a new Bill was to be introduced in the .course of the, pre sent session. The Noble Viscount thought it right, how - ever, that the Bill should pass a second reading, and in the Committee he proposed amendments which his Majesty's Go vernment ultimately agreed to adopt, by which many of the serious evils that would have resulted from the Bill hid been got over ; still many grievances were felt from what he might call the democratic principle of the Bill, especially that part of it which related to cess payers, most of whom had abstained from attending the Session altogether, the consequence of which was, that no money could be levied for the purpose of carrying on the county business, especially that which related to public roads ; and the poor persons employed on such public works were in consequence thrown out of employment. Under such circumstances he trusted his Majesty's Government would not allow. the present Session to pass without sore provision being made for those evils. He wished, therefore, to know whether it was the , intention of his Majesty's Government to recommend during the present session any measure for the purpose of remedying the grievances he had adverted to ? Viscount MELBOURNE thought that the Bill as yet had not had a fair trial, and that it would be much better to see how it would work before a new measure was introduced. The Earl of WICKLOW said it was as evil that would not be cured by time ; for the cess payers were the very per sons who were most anxious to avoid paying anything at all in the shape of cess, and they were acute enough to know that there was no better plan than by their staying away altogether, by which the proceedings of the Grand Juries were rendered invalid. Lord DUNCANNON was aware that considerable difficulty had been felt in many counties from the non-attendance of cess-payers, but as only two of that class were rendered necessary to give validity to the Jury's Act, he did not see but that by the next Session the Bill would work well enough. If, however, the same difficulty should occur in the January Sessions, it would then certainly be time to introduce a short measure upon the subject— ( Hear, hear.) He trusted the promise that Government would give their best attention to the subject in the Recess, would in the meantime be satisfactory. The Duke of RICHMOND said there was a Bill in the other House which empowered the making of such roads as were necessary for the Post-office, the expense to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, to be afterwards recovered from the Grand Juries of the respective counties—that might pro bably give a temporary relief. The Noble Duke then presented the Report of the Committee upon post-roads. He would then only remark that the Committee strongly recommended that some measures should be taken for rendering the parochial police more effective—that was the second committee which had so reported, and unless he heard that the Government would take up the question, he would in a short time bring the sub ject again before the House. The report was ordered to be printed. THE WARWICK WITNESSES. Lord WYIgORD prdsented the peiition — of *William Oram, praying to be released from the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. He moved that the petitioner be brought to the bar. . Mr. W. Oran was then placed at the bar, and was exa mined by the LORD CHANCELLOR :-- When were you first aware of the.issuing of the process of this House, calling you to attend at the bar of this House as a witness ?—lt the middle of June. Were were you at that time ?—ln Boulogne, in France. Had you gone abroad for the purpose of avoiding the process of that House ?--I had gone abroad for the purpose of avoid,. ing process in certain actions for penalties that had been com menced against me. Then I understand you to say, that you did not go to Boulogne for the purpose of avoiding the process of this House ?—No, I did not. When did you first hear of the process issuing to compel your attendance ?—ln the second week of June. What prevented you coming from France ?—My wife came over and told me of it ; and at last I determined to come over to stay the process of this House, notwithstanding the penal .actions. How did you come over—voluntarily, or in consequence of the employment of force ?—I came over voluntarily. Mr. Oram was ordered to withdraw. Lord WYNFORD then moved that the petition do lie on the table. He said it was, in substance, the same as the state ment which the petitioner had made on his examination. The Noble and Learned Lord then moved that Mr. Oram be dis charged, on the payment of his fees, and on his entering into an undertaking to appear when called upon by the House. The motion was agreed to. Mr. Oram was ordered to be discharged on the condition mentioned, and Friday morning next was fixed for his appearance as a witness in the Warwick case, that day having been fixed upon in consequence of a question put by the , Earl of Radnor on the subject. EXPENSES OF THE LIVERPOOL AND WAR- WICK BILLS. PRIVILEGED STATEMENTS. The Marquis of WE STME AT H said he rose to move for the papers to which he had alluded yesterday, but before doing so he wished to put a question to the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack. He wished to know whether that Noble and Learned Lord intended to bring in, or would give his support to, a Bill to prohibit the liberty of speech in Parliament-4 Great laughter)—so far as to prevent anything like personal slander, which was now so much in practice, from being there put forth. Something was absolutely necessary, for the length the matter was now carried rendered persons absolutely unsafe. In Ireland, if a person had any ill. will to another person, either in or out of the House, they had nothing more to do than to get a sheet of dirty brown paper—( A laugh)—make out a petition, and there were plenty of members to be got. Lord WH A RNCL IFFE rose to order. He read one of the standing orders which applied to slander. The Marquis of WESTMEATH thanked God he had no reason to complain of that House—it was of unfounded state ments made in the House of Commons that he now spoke. He for one would never think of dragging up the publisher of a newspaper—(Loud cheers)—to the bar for giving a report of what took place in either House of Par.. liament where the public had a right to be, but he could not believe it was possible that such slander should pass unpunished by the law, even though spoken by a Member of Parliament. He then moved for certain extracts of letters to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, from himself and a Rev. Gen_ leman in his county of the 2nd May, 1834. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would be m ost happy to give the Noble Marquis an answer, but first wished to say that it was the first time he had ever heard or seen papers moved for in a Court or House of Parliament in a garbled and imperfect state—that was for the Noble Marquis's own consideration, but he thought the House would pause before it set such a bad precedent. The Marquis of WE STME ATH—I can explain that. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I beg your pardon, there is a standing order that only one should speak at a time, your time will come. He then went on to say__ The Noble Marquis asked whether he would bring in a Bill to prevent Members of Parliament from slandering others, or from using what language they thought proper? And again, whether, if such a Bill was introduced, he would support it.—( Hear, hear.) He had a most simple answer to both queries. He would neither do the one or the other, but would oppose such a Bill—indeed he doubted the power of Parliament to pass such a Bill. He would oppose it because it would repeal the Bill of Rights, in which there was an article which expressly gave to Members of Par liament the utmost liberty of speech, without liability. If an exception was introduced there would be a total end to the freedom of discussion, and it would depend upon the caprice of the day, or upon a jury, or the discretion of a court of law, what any Member of their Lordships' House might say. There was one security which the subject had upon this matter, and which, he begged to observe, was not merely nominal, but which had been made quite available, not only against private persons, but against the Members of the House them selves, and which was this :—That if any one took upon him self, or chose to print or publish the slander, he Was answerable for it, and which in his (the Lord Chancellor's) opinion, he had no right to complain of, for the public would be none the worse for not hearing the slanderous things that might be said in either House, and there was no necessity for publishing them. It would no doubt be recollected by many, that a Noble Lord, a Member of that House, chose to make a speech, and afterwards to publish it ; he was tried in the King'sßench, convicted, and was confined in prison for 2 months. An Honourable Member, for whom he was counsel, had published a speech in order to contradict a very false and exaggerated account that had been published, reflecting on a tax-gatherer in the town of Liverpool, and in order to correct that, and to let his constituents whom he had canvassed, although he had failed in his election, know what he had said, he printed an accurate account ; he was tried, convicted, and brought up for judgment. It was in vain he pleaded the privileges of Parliament. It was in vain that his late friend Michael Angelo Taylor, for whom he entertained the highest respect, cited the Bill of Rights on a motion that he had made in the other House and it was held that he was no t protected even in publishing himself an au thentic account, not f rom any malicious motives, but simply to correct a mistake. That was really a great protection ; and although he was of opinion the law of libel required great alteration, yet this was not a part of it which the subject had a right to complain of. No doubt, perhaps not in the heat of debate, but in cold blood, things were frequently said which ought (not to be "said, and which deserved great blame. It was to be hoped that the good sense of Members, and if not their own good sense, yet that the good taste and propriety of the audience they addressed hear)—would be a sufficient restraint in deterring them from indulging in improper lanuae. At all eve nts, he was sure that any Legislative interference and would not be productive of any benefit what,:ve n The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that aitlhough any ()pinion which might fall from the Noble and Learnes4 Lobe would always receive the greatest respect, yet he felt it be his duty not to shrink from his intention. The LORD CHANCELLOR. Why don't you wait till i t „_ you bring in your Bill—what is the use of making a speech now ? Ler Marquis of WE STMEATif,---MS, Lords, Ido net think the and Le e a Noble and Learned Lord need C was impossible, =Plain of me since he takes so from him. arn e FIa 1 14 , 4, 5 The Earl of RADNOR then put a similar question with regard to the Liverpool Bill, but nothing was settled upon the subject. The Noble Earl afterwards observed, that the parties prosecuting this Bill had put themselves to considerable ex pense, in order to be prepared when the House should call on them to go on, and he thought that they ought to be reim bursed these expenses. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that as the House of Commons had sent up the Bill for the concurrence of their Lordships, it was clear that there must be some - ground for proceeding, and he agreed that the parties prosecuting it ought to be reimbursed the expenses they had necessarily incurred. He suggested that the defendants ought to have their expenses defrayed. After some conversation on this subject, the Earl of RADNOR moved for a Committee to consider of the ex penses incurred in the Warwick and. Liverpool Bills, and to report whether any and what parts of such expenses should be reimbursed to the parties. CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS. Lord SUFFIEL D presented a petition from several farmers in the county of Somerset, against the law which sub jects incendiaries to capital punishment. His Lordship pre sented a similar petition from the Isle of Ely. On the motion of the same Noble Lord, the Capital Pu nishment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER presented petitions from Abingdon, Surrey, and from the parish of St. Nicholas, Guilford, in favour of the Established Church. Lord WYNFORD presented two petitions from individuals of the name of Johnstone, putting in a claim to the earldom of Annandale. They were referred to the Committee of Privileges. The Marquis of BUTE presented a petition from persons interested in the London and Westminster Banks, praying their Lordships to pass the Bill, to enable the company to sue or be sued by their secretary. The Marquis of CL A NRICARDE presented a petition from the Common Council of the City of London, against one of the clauses in the Poor Law Amendment Bill. TRIAL OF OFFENDERS (LONDON) BILL. On the motion of Lord WYNFORD, the first amendment made in the bill by the House of Commonstwas negatived ; some of the other amendments were agreed to as amended by their Lordships. Lord WYNFORD said he had to complain of the omission from this bill of the clause giving compensation. He believed he was right in 'saying that when the bill was introduced the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack pronounced that the bill should not pass without compensation being given to those who would suffer by the change proposed.—( Hear from Lord Brougham.) Such compensation ought conse quently to be given. It had been afforded in the bill intro duced by the Noble and Learned Lord to effect reform in the Court of Chancery, and he (Lord Wynford) feared that if it wer e now denied, it might be inferred that their Lord ships were more disposed•to attend to the claims of certain highly connected persons, who perhaps had friends in that House to protect their interests, than to those more humble subjects of his Majesty, who would be sufferers if this bill passed without giving them compensation. He should sug gest that the House of Commons be requested to hold a con ference with their Lordships, to see whether that justice could not be rendered in this case which had been rendered in others. He was quite sure he could calculate on the assistance of his Noble and Learned Friend. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he fully agreed in the principle, that if any improvement were to be made in the law, compensation ought to be given. It was unquestionably wrong that the expense of that improvement should fall on clerks of the peace, or clerks of assize. To allow compensation was the true way of furthering legal improvement, for if it were denied, they were sure to encounter opposition to the changes it might be most desirable to make, from a host of interested parties. He therefore exceedingly regretted that this Bill had come up from the other House without the clause giving com pensation. By the way, as regarded the clerk of assize, he believed there would be no difficulty, an arrangement having been made with the Corporation of London, by which that in dividual would be saved the Home Circuit. A clause giving compensation had been introduced into the Bill when it was submitted to the House of Commons, and after discussion was put to the vote, but was lost by a considerable majority; undcr these circumstances, he entertained little hope of being able to effect a favourable arrangement. The difficulty of their Lordships was this : they could ask a confbrence with the House of Commons as to any of the amendments that had been made, but it was now proposed to add a clause which had involved a money question. The Commons who were exceedingly jealous of their exclusive privilege to vote money, would refuse to attend the conference, en the ground that it contemplated an indirect interference with that privilege. As regarded the pledge he had given, he wished to explain that of course he could not have intended to give a pledge as to what course the House of Commons should in any case pursue ; but what he did mean in engaging that the Bill should not pass without compensation was, that if this principle were not agreed to he would not press the measure further. He should be sorry, however, that the Bill were now abandoned. What he should propose as the best course under all the cir cumstances was, that a Bill for the modification of the present measure, by giving compensation, should be submitted to the House of Commons next session. He was sure that he could calculate on the assistance in this respect of the Noble Lord ( Lord Althorp) who had charge of the Exchequer.— ( Hear, hear. ) Lord WYNFORD said he was satisfied with what had fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL. Lord SUFFIELD moved the first reading of the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it would be better if it were left to his Majesty's Government to effect these changes. One Noble Lord brought in one measure, and ano ther Noble Lord brought in another, each according to his particular views;and the consequence would be that this par tial legislation would lead to anything rather than the desired uniformity.--( Hear, hear.) He thought it preferable that an instruction should be given to the Law Commissioners to take this subject amongst others into their consideration, and report thereupon. He gave a pledge to the House that if this course were adopted lie would himself bring a measure on the subject into their Lordship's House next-session, without waiting for the other House. He would bring it in early, so that their Lordships, having the Session before them, need not be hurried in its consideration.--( Hear, hear.) It was perfectly in ac cordance with the judicial constitution of their Lordship's house to originate measures for the amendment of our cri minal laws, and such a measure as the one now before them, the object of which was the mitigation of the severity of the criminal code, would come with peculiar grace from their Lordships, who, in the performance of their solemn duty, had been obliged to pass other measures to provide for the just •shment of offenders against the laws of the country. WYNFO RD expressed his obligation to his Noble 'riend for the observations that had just fallen ' no doubt that in a few years mcondary pu- (PRICE 71).) nishments would be found so effectual that the punishment of death would be very.little resorted to.—( Hear, hear.) Lord SUFFIELD withdrew his bill. Several Bills were then forwarded a stage. Their Lordships adjourned at seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, July 21. The following occurred in the morni ng s i tt i ng o f M on d ay MILITARY FLOGGING. Mr. TENNYSON said he rose to present a petition on a subject that had justly caused the most extraordinary sensation in the metropolis, and wherever the case had been heard of; he meant the recent brutal exhibition of military flogging that had taken place at the St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross —( Hear, hear)—flogging that had been inflicted to such an extent, in the very heart of the metropolis, that the shrieks and calls for mercy of the man ( Henderson) were heard in the neighbourhood, and that caused some of the men and officers who witnessed it to faint.—( Hear, hear.) The petition entered into details of so horrible a character, that he had deemed it right to intimate to. the Secretary at War (Mr. Ellice) his intention to present the petition; and he was glad to see 'that Hon. Member in his place. If the case could be explained, there might now be explanations, and the public mind thus, in some degree, set at rest. If it could not be ex plained, then he hoped' that the House would learn what remedy the Government had to prevent the recurrence of such horrifying proceedings. Though the session was far advanced, it was not yet too late, he hoped, to provide some remedy, if the facts of the case really were what they had been repre sented to be. The practice was most.disirraceful and revolting to the public mind; and it w as calculated to destroy every feeling of honour and every decent sentiment in the mind of the soldier. The petition which he had to pre sent came to him from highly-respectable gentlemen, inhabi tants of the borough of Lambeth, being among his constituents ; one of the petitioners was a clergyman of the Church of England. He then read the heads of the petition. It described the case of Henderson, his flogging, the charges, the sentence -300 lashes, all of which were inflicted. He admitted that the pledge which had formerly been given was, that the number should not exceed 300 lashes ; that flogging should only be applied to stealing, mutiny, or drunkenness ; but there was also a pledge that the extreme number should only be applied in extreme cases. In this case the extreme punishment was applied to what he must consider as a comparatively trifling offence ; for as to the charge of striking the sergeant, he be lieved that it was somewhat exaggerated. The petition fur ther further stated, that the man's groans, shrieks, and cries for mercy, while being flogged, were heard in the neighbour hood; that some of the soldiers fainted at the sight ; and that two officers, from feelings honourable to their nature, also fainted in consequence of this dreadful exhibition. The peti tioners expressed the unqualified disgust with which they con templated such proceedings—such brutal exhibitions ; and their conviction that the public feeling could no longer endure them ; and prayed the House to inquire into the transaction, and to provide a remedy to prevent the recurrence of a trans action that outraged public feeling, and was disgraceful to a civilized Government. Mr. HAWE S bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners. Mr. ELLICE said that, in the observations he had to ad dress to the House, he begged it to be understood that he had not one word to say against the motives of the petitioners. These cases were ever of the most painful character, and they becatqe more so now, from the circumstance of their being so regularly brought before the House. As was well known, he was an advocate for i estraining the practice of flogging within the narrowest possible limits, consistently with the due main tenance of the discipline of the Army. What had been ob served respecting the pledge given to the House and the coun try on this subject, was perfectly correct. The charge in the present case was, in the first instance, for drunkenness when on duty—a situation where the strictest conduct was requisite. If drunkenness were to be an apology for improper conduct, or crime, then would it become difficult indeed to restrain the conduct of many individuals. Not only was this man drunk on duty, and when the picquet approached, but he used the most mutinous language, and threatened to strike the ser geant. He would not repeat the language that was used; it was not requisite ; indeed, it was not fit to be repeated. He agreed that the sentence was severe, but it was by no means the man's first offence. Within two short periods he had been guilty of offences : one was that of having made away with his clothes; and the other (we think the Hon. Member said) was that of having threatened to strike his serjeant, and that, too, at a time when he was not drunk. The man was a bad character, and that, without doubt, had weighed with the Officers in apportioning the punishment. With respect to the circumstances of the case detailed in the petition—none of which had ever yet come to his knowledge— he was only acquainted with the fact of the sentence, ther with the nature of the charge, and the character of the man. He was ready to admit that if officers retired in conse quence of what was taking place, that ought to have led the commandinc , officer to remit some portion of the sentence, or to hesitate about further proceeding. How the circumstances were he knew not ; he did not admit them, for he was not in a situation to admit or deny them ; but he was ready to admit that, if they were correctly represented, they warranted the warmth of language evinced by the petitioners. Those, how ever, to whom the maintenance of the discipline of the army was entrusted had a difficult duty to perform, and he was afraid it was stating too much to say, on statements having no better foundation than, he apprehended, belonged to many of those submitted to the public on this subject, that the power entrusted had not been properly exercised, or that every effort had not been made to restrain punishment. There was, un doubtedly, rapidly approaching that state of opinion on this subject—that feeling in the public mind, which would require the most anxious exercise of wisdom and judgment. Iu con sequence of the feeling of the public being against this species of punishment, the practice of flogging in the army had much diminished, but the consequences had been—at least since the diminution of the practice of flogging as a punishment in the army,—there had been a frightful increase of crime. Within the last year, one-fifth of the army in England had been subjected to charges of different sorts. In the country outrages were frequent, and insubordi nation arose to a very great height. He, therefore, without meaning to say that the practice ought not to be restrained as much as possible, thought that he was justified in requiring the House to pause before it in any way sanctioned the opi nion that flogging in the army ought to be altogether abo lished ; if its discipline were to be maintained, some strong power was required in a country like this, where they had a body of men with arms in their hands, to maintain strict dis cipline. Before they censured those who vindicated the autho rity entrusted,to them, the House would do well to pause pre viously to forming any decided opinion. As further proof of the state of the army, and of the necessity of having strong power, he would add that only a fortnight ago a private shot a sergeant at Chatham ; the case was now in progress of in vestigation and judicial adjudication. And another instance at the same place had occurred—a man on the parade was taken in the act of loading his gun to fire at his sergeant. He did not state these circumstances in vindication of the practice of flogging; he only mentioned them to show what conduct there might be to restrain. He had only to beg that inquilly might be instituted as to the effect of what had already been done to mitigate the practice, and whether its abolition ,could be supported by a knowledge of facts. Let it be re membered that, in looking back for thirty years, there had been no military execution; no man had been shot pursuant to sentence of courtmartial. He, therefore, repeated, see ing what had already been effected, that they ought to be cautious before they further interfered to restrain punish ment. If there were mutinous conduct, it must be pu nished; but what would be the feelings of the country if men were now brought out to be shot—if tiiey were made to return to military executions ? And if they were to retain the army, they must maintain discipline. Seeing that the question had arrived at the point to which he had alluded, and to be pre pared for the consequences of public feeling and opinion, he had advised his Majesty to issue a commission to investigate the whole question ; to inquire into the present military - code of this country—into the state of the military codes of other countries—and, in fact, to revise the whole military system of this country. He hoped that this recommendation might meet his Majesty's sanction ; that between this and the next session, it might issue ; and that by next session a report might be made. He was quite sure that this was requisite. Enough had been done to show how narrowly military proceedings were watched ; it was equally clear what a frightful responsi bility rested on those officers who had to maintain the discip line of the army. He had endeavoured to do his duty, and he trusted that the recommendation to his Majesty was proof of his anxiety on this subject. If measures of amelioration could be adopted, he should gladly promote them; at the same time he should not shrink from sanctioning or recommending mea sures of severity, if they were proved to be still absolutely re quisite. After what he had said, he trusted he might be ex cused if he suggested to Hon. Members the propriety of ab staining from discussion at the present moment, when the particulars were so imperfectly known ; it could only tend un necessarily to inflame the public mind. Mr. E WART said that he was perfectly satisfied that other punishments might be safely substituted for the present de grading practice ; that he had no apprehension of it being requisite to recur to capital punishments ; that he was quite sure military offences were to be rewessed by means short of them. He regretted to see that there were still predilections towards old and obsolete principles as to maintaining the dis cipline of the army ; that there was still too strong a convic tion of the power of the lash ; but he hoped these notions were wearing out. Colonel EVANS observed that the admission of the pre vious punishment of this man showed that the repetitions of those punishments were unavailing to correct the offender, and to secure proper discipline. He admitted the difficulties of the case and of the Right Hon. Gentleman, who must ne cessarily attend to the opinions of high military authorities, who, on the other hand, were reluctant to alter existing prac tice. Though so many Commissions had been issued, he did not regret to helix that one on this subject was about to be issued, so that the subject might be generally investigated. He hoped, however, that the Commission would not be com posed exclusively of military men. The necessity for flog t , tic JULY 22. The SPEAKER resumed the Chair at twenty-five minutes past five. _ _ _ _ . . . . _ A message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to the Landed Estates (Ireland) Bill without any amendments. DIVISIONS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. G. W. WOOD complained of an inaccuracy in the votes of the House of Monday last, arising from the new mode of taking the lists on Divisions. In the votes he found in one of the divisions--Ayes 45, Noes 64 ; and under the Ayes he found his (Mr. W.'s) name included. Now the fact was that he (Mr. Wood) was not in that division at all, as he was at the time attending a committee in another part of the House. In consequence of the inac curacy he had been represented in the Morning Journals as having voted in a case where he had not voted at all. The SPEAKER said a few words, which we were unable to catch. Mr. HODGES presented a petition from Sunbury, inKent, very numerously signed, in behalf of the Established Church. Mr. SANDFORD presented petitions to the same effect from Halstead and Wellington ; also, a petition from the Bo rough of Axminster, praying for some enactment for the pro tection of property. Mr. JAMES OSWALD brought up the report of the Committee on Public Petitions, which was ordered to be printed. PUBLIC WORKS. Lord KERRY moved for returns of the various sums ex pended in the making and repair of works on the Shannon and the Caledonian Canal, stating the amount expended in each year. MR. D. W. HARVEY'S CASE. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that to-morrow he should move for the appointment of a Committee of Privileges for the purpose of laying before it a special report from the Com mittee of the Inns of Court. IMPRISONMENT, FOR DEBT. The Honourable and Learned Member then begged to ask the Right Honourable the Secretary for Ireland whether the Bill for the Abolition of the Imprisonment for Debt could be extended to Ireland, as the machinery for carrying the Bill into operation could be readily found in the Assistant Barristers' Courts ? Mr. LITTLETON said it was his intention to move for a Select Committee next session for that purpose. He thought the suggestion of the Hon. Member a valuable one, and he believed the Assistant Barristers Courts would be found well adapted to carry the provisions of the Bill into operation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL wished they had a ma chinery so well fitted for the purpose as the Assistant Bar risters' Courts in England.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual named Robert Gourley, now residing in America, complaining of in justice practised against him by the Law Commissioners of Upper Canada, and praying that a Commission be appointed to inquire into the law respecting landed property in America, and that he (the petitioner) be appointed one of said Com mission.--( Hear and a laugh.) IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. .B ARR ON wished to know whether it was the inten tion of Government to introduce any measure respecting the reform of the Corporations of Ireland ? Mr. LITTLETON said that the same question had been frequently asked and as frequently answered, particularly du. ring the last fortnight. He would again state that it certainly was the intention of his Majesty's Government to introduce a measure respecting Irish Corporations. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he would move for a special bill for the regulation of the Corporation of Dublin the first week of next session. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord MORPETH said he rose again to bring forward his motion respecting orders of the day—( Cries of " Oh, oh I") When he brought forward the same motion upon a former day he did not press it to a division, because he did not think there was any responsible Government present. He had then stated the grounds upon which he recommended to the House the adoption of his motion, and he therefore did not think it necessary to repeat them upon the present occasion. If, however, the course he proposed was advisable on the Ist July, a fortiori it was stronger on the 22d. The session had now come to a period at which it was essen tial that they should get through the business that was before them, and he would therefore beg leave to move that, for the remainder of the session, orders of the day should have prece dence of motions. The Earl of KERRY seconded the motion. Mr. G. F. YOUNG said he objected to the proposition of the Noble Lord, because he thought it would be a gross in justice to those, Members who had notices on the books. Another objection he had to it was, that it would be utterly impracticable, because it would not be in the power of the House, if they adhered to the present forms of the House, to prevent any Hon. Member from bringing forward a motion upon the order of the day being read.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUGHES HUGHES trusted the Noble Lord- the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not give his countenance to this motion, which was calculated in every respect to take away the privileges of the House. Colonel E VANS considered that if the motion were to pass it would not only be most unjust, but highly unconstitutional. He did not apprehend the session was likely to last for mom than 10 or 12 days longer.—( Hear, hear, and laughtei.) At all events, the session would not extend beyond another fortnight, and if the motion were to be adopted, it would be only adding four days to what Government would without it have for the purpose of bringing forward their or ders ; and he certainly did not think that that consideratioe ought to induce even Government to wish for this unprece dented inroad. Mr. SHIEL regarded this motion as one brought forward by one Cabinet Minister, and seconded by another. He would beg to remind the Noble Lord, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of what he stated in a speech just before the Easter recess, viz , as there would be very little business at the close of the session, they might have a longer Easter recess than ' usual; and he would now ask, was it the fault of Parliament that there was a pressure of business at this moment ? Was it the fault of Parliament that the consideration of the Irish Coercion Bill had been delayed so long? Sir H. HARDINGE said that it appeared to him that if Hon. Gentlemen on the side of the House where he was chose to curtail the length of their speeches, and not to speak so often they might render the proposal of such a motion quite unne cessary. He thought some sort of compromise ought to be come to, or that the motion ought to be dropped altogether rather than pressed to a division. Lord ALTHORP said that what he had stated before the Easter recess was that the business of the House was then in a very forward state, therefore that there might be a longer recess than usual. With regard to the motion now before the House, unless it were adopted by general concurrence, in his opinion it would be perfectly useless, inasmuch as lion. Members would not think themselves bound by it. He did not think at this period of the session many notices of practical motions of importance would be given and if Hon. Gentlemen would consent to withdraw their no tices upon abstract questions, the practical business could be proceeded with. If the House would come to this under standing, his opinion was that it would be better for his Noble Friend not to press the motion. Mr. HUME hoped the Noble Lord would not even desire to have such a general understanding as he had alluded to. If even the motion of the Noble Lord were carried it would not have the objected desired. He trusted the House would not give up that right of debate, which every Hon. Member had and ought to have, of bringing forward a motion whenever he pleased. He thought the good sense of lion. Members would prevent them from unnecessarily bringing forward a long detail. Mr. LITTLETON could not agree to this motion unless it met with the general concurrence of the House ; but as to calling it unconstitutional, he really did not think that it deserved that appellation.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) At the same time he certainly considered that there should be a general understanding that orders of the day should be pro ceeded with as quickly as possible. Mr. WALLACE could not agree in the propriety of the motion. He thought the Members of the Government ought to make up their minds to carry forward the Orders of the Day speedily, or to remove them altogether. Mr. O'CONNELL said that it seemed to him per fectly clear that no private bill which had not already been read a second time could be got through this Session, and it would certainly expedite things very much if Hon. Members generally would put their shoulders to the wheel, with a view to get rid of the mass of orders of the day that loaded the paper. . Lord MORI S ETH said he was certainly unwilling to with . ; draw his motion, and the only thing that would induce him to do so, would be a promise on the part of the House, t...p orders of the day should take precedence of motions on3vjrr day except Thursday.—( Cries of " Oh, oh.") The gallery was then cleared for a division, when; t !!, appeared— For the motion Against it Majority for the motion —4o COMMISSIONS OF INQUIRY. Mr. KENNEDY rose to propose his motion relative to ae expense of Commissions at present existing, and said chat after what had transpired in the House he did not insist upon pressing his motion, his object being to elicit information on the subject, and to procure the discontinuance of such is were unnecessary, especially the Commission of the fowthrheßueir thelding Churches, which had already cost three millio ns and a half of money. Again, the slow progress Cor poration Commission had occasio ned g reat dissati sfaction in the public mind, and it was p ro p er to en q uir e in what manner this Commission was to be rid e and report ought not to be m ade without loss of time.

He had, during the last session, moved for returns of the expenses attendant on these commissions, and was of opinion that an inquiry should be entered into, to ascertain whether or not the public money was uselessly expended, and the time of the Conunissionera
