The inquiry for money, as usual at the close of the week, is rather quieter, and instances are re corded of first-class bills being negotiated a frac tion under 5,!, per cent. There is evidently an abundant supply of capital awaiting employment, and the banks and discount firms are consequently willing to accept lower terms rather than keep their resources idle and unproductive. About £90,000, in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. _ The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon exhi bited no change of importance. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £315,700, and the exports £350,500. Continued activity prevailed in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices were well supported. The sales were 5,000 bales. The following communication refers to the Debt of Venezuela :—" The Committee of Spanish American bondholders made an urgent representa tion to the Government of Venezuela on the subject of the existing arrears on the foreign debt of that republic, and requested that the Government would at once appropriate 25 per cent. of the Custom-house duties to meet the interest of the debt, have received a reply from the Minister of Finance dated Car accas, the 21st ult., stating that in the actual un settled state of the republic, it is impossible for the present to comply with that requisition. The Government are, however, occupying themselves with efforts to obtain such financial resources as may enable them to meet their engagements to their foreign creditors." There has been a very heavy Market for Public Securities to-day, a further decline of per cent. has taken place. Consols having receded to 891 for transfer, and to 59. - 4 I for the account. This movement has resulted from a continuance in speculative sales. The New Threes and the Re duced are steady at 891 Y ; Rank Stock is firm at 231 ; India at 221 ; ditto New Loan Scrip remains at 1008 I, and the 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 1011; Exchequer Bills, March, are 9s. dis. ; and ditto June, 3s. to ls. dis. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been exceedingly limited, and prices show no change of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 to 80:; ditto, 1858, 66 to 661 ; ditto, £lOO Bonds are steady at 6811, Grenada Deferred are firm at 51. Business in the Railway Share Market has been inactive, and little change of importance has taken Place in prices. Bristol and Exeter declined £ l , and Vale of Neath improved 10s., Eastern Counties, Lancashire, and Yorkshire, Midlands, North Westerns, South Easterns, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, brought former prices. The Foreign and Colonial lines were. flat. Great Luxembourg brought 71 ; Antwerp and Rotter dam, 54 ; and Bahia and San Francisco, 11: ; Grand Trunk of Canada declined to 18a ; and Great Western of Canada remained steady at 10k ; East Indian realised 981 99; and Great Indian Pe ninsula, 951 954. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares exhi bited little variation. London Joint-stock improved 10s. ; London and County declined 10s.; and Peel River Land advanced ss. to 10s.

In replying to a petition present:A by Lord SHAFTES BURY, Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the recommen dations of the recent committee on the Post-office had al most all been adopted. POLAND. The Marquis of NORMANBY presented two petitions urging the cause of Poland on the attention of their lord ships. Lord BROUGHAM also presented a petition from Stockport on the same subject. The petition prayed their lordships to take active steps to obtain access to the corre spondence with Russia during 1831 and 1832 on the sub ject of Poland. He spoke with the deepest regret of the partition of Poland in 1772, and again in 1794, and passed a warm eulogy on the late Prince Czartoryski. Lord STRATFORD 1)E REDCLIFFE presented two petitions from Sheffield and Bradford on the same subject. They prayed that an address might be presented to her Majesty, praying her to suspend all diplomatic intercourse with Russia until the kingdom of Poland had been restored and reparation made for the disregard by Russia of the treaties of Vienna. He must not be under stood to back these petitions with his own opinion, but they were very numerously, and he believed very respectably, signed. STATUES OF PUBLIC MEN. Lord TAUNTON asked if it was true that statues were about to be erected in the immediate vicinity of that house to Brunel and Locke? Ho must not be understood to cast any imputation on the memory of those great men, but he thought the neighbourhood of that house should be re served for the statues of men who had been famous in one or other house of Parliament. He also thought that it was a mistake to erect any statue not originally contemplated as a part of the achitectural design. Earl GRANVILLE said the chief commissioner had in formed him that he intended to reserve places for 28 statues round St. Margaret's-square. The side facing the house would be reserved for the statues of persons who had been famous in the Legislature, but it was proposed to allow the erection of statues to other persons in the other faces. POLAND. The Earl of HARROWBY rose, pursuant to notice, to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesey, for copies or extracts of all correspondence which passed in the years 1831 and 1832 between the Government of Great Britain and those of Russia and other countries on the sub ject of Poland. After presenting a number of petitions to ' the same effect as those before mentioned, he proceeded to • say that the attention of Europe and of the world in gene ral, which had somewhat slumbered with regard to the affairs of Poland, had been revived by the events of the last few months, and it was a matter for grave consideration and doubt whether the condition of affairs in that country was such as was contemplated by the Great Powers who were parties to the Treaty of Vienna. They were all aware that at that moment the retention of Poland as an integral part of the European system was a matter of the deepest inte rest to statesmen. Not only the supports of the principle of nationality, but persons who were the last to be suspected of enthusiasm, such as Lord Castlereagh and Prince Met ternich, considered the Polish nation as a most important element in Europe, not merely on the ground of outraged rights and outraged nationality, but further as a great and important barrier between Russia and Germany. Their lordships were aware that the feeling on this subject was so intense that the Governments of England, France, and Aus tria were at one time on the point of entering into a treaty for the purpose of declaring war against Russia with regard to this question; and it was only the return of Napoleon from Elba which put an end to that treaty. Their lordships were also aware that afterwards, when it was found impossible to succeed in the object which the Powers had in view, by re establishing the independence cf Poland, the next best step was taken. When the proposal was made for the distribution of the several provinces of Poland between the three great contending Powers—Austria, Russia, and Prussia—that partition was accompanied by very particular stipulations. It was not to be a mere distribution of teteitory, but it was to be accompanied by obligations all tending to coun teract the partition, and to keep together the severed na tionality. Precautions were accordingly taken for the pure pose of retaining the national feeling and the enjoyment of the national name. The Poles were to be made subject to their several rulers, but they were to obtain such a repre sentation as the respective governments should think it use ful and common to grant. This was not therefore a common case of partition, but that of a partition accompanied by pre cautions that it should not destroy the nationality of the people. An attempt was made to secure to them nationality, good government, and liberal institutions. Now, it might at first sight be supposed that a political disturbance in Po land was a simple question between the Poles and their governors. That he (Earl of Harrowby) could not admit. It was a matter of importance no less than of interest to this country. In this instance not only were our sympathies excited, but our sense of justice was evoked in defence of liberties which had been specially chartered to these people in the face of Europe by the very title deeds under which they were held in subjection. For by what title was the ter ritory of Poland held, except flee treaty of Vienna ? Now, from information he had received, he was led to believe the Government of Russia was extremely sensitive on the sub ject. He hoped that on this occasion it would yield to the marked expression of the public feeling of Europe which had been manifested with regard to the late affairs of Warsaw. He should not therefore ask her Majesty's Government to renew the protest which they bad already made, but he would confine himself to the motion of which he had given notice. He might add that perhaps some personel feeling might have led him out of his usual course to enter upon this subject. (Hear.) [The noble lord concluded by a warm eulogy on the character of his lamented relative, the late Lord Dudley Stuart, the precise terms of which were not heard with sufficient distinctness for a report.] Lord WODEHOUSE said nothing could be more natural than that the noble earl, who for so many years had taken so much interest in the welfare of Poland, should be desi rous of bringing it under their lordships' notice at a time when the attention of Europe was so much turned towards it by the events that had recently taken place in Warsaw. Though he (the noble lord) could not add anything to what had already been stated by her Majesty's Government in another place, he wished to say a few words upon a topic in which he took a great personal interest. No one could read the history'of Poland without feeling sympathy for a na tion so gallant and so unfortunate; but besides that, the Polish question had given rise to considerations of the greatest interest to the general welfare of Europe. The extinction greatero f Poland influence uponindependent European politics ad than perhaps d a any event a thatcr civilisation, a s h e a d d f ob t rn taken n ha deo p n l bse a ye c : eot couldemi m in e m le o o d k er a n t ti t m he es. ma A p b w ov it e be a u ll t , it had the greatest possible influence upon the position of Ger many;that Poland and the ancient Polish [provinces, instead of being an outwork of Germany and a bulwark of Western b si i a eh an b d s : dan gerousbeenoafn fortificationsoutw ork o of R Russia ar erected engdrewtht iahntee vfact,er t h Russian tehr se mre Poland,sgnhsmight r esuscitation menace to Germany, the danger having been in strength to the famous quadrilateral. However they might nd s e P h f o o l w r a nei lb tre he e b a a e r t y i it equal n n d r e e 13 t e huh in a e a nw s t oh o f r i t dent power appeared to him to be practically impossible— question did not seem to him to be at present a practical one. Poland had been dividedaraongst three of the strongest and most powerful states in the world, and they could not hope for its recovery from the overwhelming force that would be brought to oppose its liberation. It must be a matter of congratulation to its friends, however, that in the recent events the Poles had manifested so much calmness and moderation ; for it showed that while the ancient patriotic feeling was as strong as ever, the events of the lest few years h a d taught them political wi s dom. The r e w a s reason to hope, too, that better days were dawning upon them from what was taking place in Russia. It was only due to the Emperor to say that the measures which he had adopted as regarded the serfs, and which he believed had emanated en tirely from the Emperor himself, had inaugurated a new era. He felt confident that the progress of liberal ideas in Russia would tend to secure greater freedom for the Poles, and the enjoyment of those institutions to which they were entitled under the treaty of Vienna. At the same time their lordships must recollect that to surrender Poland would be to reduce Russia again to a position of great infe riority in Europe. They were in the habit of talking about the kingdom of Poland; but the ancient Polish provinces really comprised a very large and important portion of Eu ropean Russia. While, therefore, he contended that the restoration of Polish independence was no longer a practi cal question, he did hope that the Poles would be enabled more end more to aid in increasing the civilisation of Russia, and in introducing institutions more in confoimity with the general system of western nations. ( Hear, hear.) With regard to Prussian Poland the case was somewhat different. So great had been the increase of Gerznars, that they now formed, with the Jews, almost as large a portion of the population as the Poles themselves. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH observed that the present position of affairs in the Duch._y of Warsaw could not f a il t o h ave a great and material effect upon the state of Europe. For his own part he entertained a very strong sympathy for tho Polish people. They had suf fered for sixty-five years under the wrongs which had been inflicted upon their forefathers; and during the whole course of that period they had shown grandeur of mind in great adversity. (Hear, hear.) They had at all times maintained the dignity of their national character, and they had made themselves respected even by those who had trodden them under foot. In whatever field of foreign service to which voluntary inclination or force had impelled them, they had maintained a military reputation equal to that of any other country in the world ; and it had been to him a subject of the greatest astonishment that every sove reign of Russia had not put himself forward in an endeavour to conciliate their affections, and had not felt proud to place himself at the head of their noble battalions. He (the noble earl) spoke not only e s the friend of Poland, but as the friend of Russia ; for he altogether put aside the memory of recent differences, and looked only to the long friendship— happily re-established—which had prevailed for so many yew ; and with 50 1111,104 benefit to both cations, Tip wag old enough to recollect the events of the year 'l2—the noble self-devotion which Russia had shown, and the great ser vices which she had performed in the re-establishment of the liberty of nations. Besides, the present Emperor had just bestowed upon his subjects the greatest boon of Ll:To rial benevolence that the world had ever seen, and he could not but entertain a hope that, with so much benevolence for slaves, his Majesty would not be insensible to the claims of freemen. (Cheers.) The result of the present attitude of Po land had practically been to paralyse the action of Russia in Central Europe ; and that could not happen without serious mischief. The balance of power was so extremely delicate, that no one great power could be temporarily disabled with out affecting the welfare of the whole. If, for example, the action of France could be entirely neutralised, the injury that would result to Europe from her temporory disappear ance would be far greater than that which would arise from any action she could take in the pursuit of her material ag grandisement. (Hear, hear.) The important question, then, was, in what manner Russia could re-establish her position; and he knew of no mode so likely to be effective as a frank reconciliation nah the Polish people. (Hear.) Nor did he despair of the possibility of such reconciliation, In days past, Italy, Lombardy, Naples, and Flanders gave their most cordial loyalty to the Emperor Charles V. And why? Because they enjoyed self-government; because they were happy under his rule ; because they felt that he loved them as well as the rest of his subjects ; and because when he was amongst them he appeared as one of themselves. In more recent times, the Hungarians —not merely in the early times of Maria Theresa but much later—loyally supported the House of Hapsburg. And why? Because they were allowed a separate existence, and were treated rather as an allied then as a subject state. Again, the Hanoverians, during the 100 years they had been connected with the sove reigns of England, maintained their loyalty to the last. And why ? Because they were always well governed, and go verned as an independent people. (Cheers.) He could not doubt that the application of the same principle by Russia to Poland would produce the same result; for, however much individuals might change, there was no change in nations. The Romans always considered that the most powerful enemies made the best allies ; but then it was only when they were well treated. Let not the Russians despise the Poles because they were poor. Poverty was always dan gerous ; for poverty was always thinking of its wrongs, was always desirous of change, was always aspiring. Wealth, on the other hand, was content to let things be as they were ; and if, therefore, the rule of Russia over Poland was such as to lead to self-government and wealth, there could be no doubt that it would soon render it loyal and content. He had always thought that there was no agency so influential over a people as generosity; and especially when that people was itself the bravest and the most gene ous of nations. He did trust, therefore, that there might be a conciliatory proposition made to the people of Poland, and that they would receive it in the spirit in which it was tendered. The Poles must see that there-establishment of their independent nationality could only happen as the effect of a disruption of all the states of Europe, such as 40 or 50 years ago brought the first Napoleon to the Vistula. The first Napoleon held out promises to them ; he used them for his own purposes, end after they had shed their hearts' blood for him, he deceived them. Did they hope that in any future convulsion of Europe, France would act again towards them with greater fidelity ? (Hear.) If he (the noble earl) could approach the Emperor of Russia, he would most earnestly cornsel him to adopt a cou-se of clemency and generosity; and he would with equal earnestness coun sel the Poles to meet his advances frankly and with frm ness. Insincerity in a sovereign was a crime which could never be forgiven ; but ingratitude in a people was a crime of equal magnitude, and it was one that deprived them of all sympathy. (Loud cheers.) The Earl of MALMESBURY was anxious to express his entire concurrence in what had fallen from the two noble earls. If the present was to the Poles a time to grieve, it was not one to be disheartancd, when they contrasted the present state of things with the state of things seven or eight years ago. Then they had an absolute sovereign, whose only idea of manifesting his power was by military force ; now they had a ruler who had done greater things for the cause of liberty than perhaps any of his contempo raries. Justice had in fact hardly been rendered to the Emperor of Russia. He had information on which he could rely as to the Emperor's sentiments. His Majesty had near him men of experience and judgment, in whom he had the greatest confidence, and who were pursuing the very course which their lordships had to-night expressed their wish that he should follow. On the other hand, of course, as an ab• solute sovereign he had advisers who would urge him to take an opposite course ; but when he knew the natural turn of the Emperor's mind, and that he had about him those who could give him good advice, he felt confident of, before long, a milder rule in that country. But he should be sorry if anything should be said in that house, and nothing had been said, that could encourage the Poles to take a course fatal to their own welfare. There were parties among them who took up the subject in different ways. There was the moderate party, the leader of which was Prince Adam Czartoryski, who had just died at Paris, who looked only on the improvement of the condition of Poland under the sovereignty of Russia. There were others whose patriotism went to the extent of wishing to re-esta blish the monarchy that was crushed nearly 70 years ago But in neither House of Parliament, as far as he had ob served, had anything been said to encourage any section of the Poles to attempt impossibilitica that could only result in bringing them under a more stringent tyranny than that to which they were at present subjected. But there was one thing that no statesman in this country laced be afraid boldly to state. It was, that the present rule of the Polish nation was a breach of the treaty of Vierna. No one could deny that, though some might excuse it. He could not ex cuse it, because he believed that the Polish rebellion of 1831 was entirely the :result of a very flagrant breach of that treaty—a breach carried out in a cruel and inexcusable man ner. Therefore, while he said that nothing could excuse the breach of that treaty by the Emperor Nicholas, nothing could excuse the present Emperor in imposing on the Poles a rule from which the treaty of Vienna protected them. But he would entreat the Poles at this moment only to con sider how far they could obtain what that treaty promised them—a constitutional Government, such •Ps their fellow countrymen possessed in Prussia—and at once to dismiss from their minds any dream of reconstructing the Polish monarchy. To attempt to do so would convulse Europe, and could only end in retarding still longer the liberties to which they were justly entitled. The Marquis of BREADALBANE said it was not true that wealth never conspired. He believed there never was a greater conspiracy of wealth manifested in the' world than in the spoliation of Poland, or a greater crime committed by power against right than was then committed against that unfortunate country. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said he had no intention of going over the ground which had already been gone over so satisfactorily. But having at an early period taken an interest in the questions relating to Poland, he should be sorry to allow the discussion to proceed without expressing his sentiments. He concurred in the opinions which had been expressed on both sides of the house as to the character of the Polish nation and the cha racter of that illustrious man who had lately died. He thought no one conld look back on what had been done with regard to Poland without feeling that a serious violation •f the public law had been committed in the infraction of the treaty of Vienna. One small and interesting town (Cracow) which that treaty guaranteed should have a free and inde pendent constitution, at this moment formed part of the Austrian empire. It was satisfactory to find that the voice of truth could be heard in the British Parliament, and that those who had succeeded in carrying out their ambitious views had at last to find that theystood opposed to the opinion of Europe expressed by a Parliament which more than any other •body in Europe had a right to express that opinion. Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE said he agreed with what had been said in favour of the rights of Poland. There was one point to which he would call attention. One of the greatest grievances under which the Poles at present suf fered had not been alluded to, he meant the great religious grievance. He had been assured on credible authority that at the present moment there were more than five millions of Poles who had been forced to abjure their relit - ,:on and to conform to the Greek Church, which of course they did only in appearance. He also heard that there had been an attempt to bring up the Jewish children in the Greek faith, andthat hundreds, if not thousands of them had been carried to the baptismal font. Their lordships had heard a great deal of the Mortara case, a case which fully called for their sympathies. Many of the States in Europe had interfered in that ques ti but he believed that for that instance of what was con sidered so great a grievance, there ware hundreds if not thou sands in Poland. Of course they must all feel a great in terest in what was going on in Russia, and they all wished the Emperor success in his scheme, but he would be better able to carry it out by having the support of the Polish provinces. He trusted that some sinister rumours they had heard about papers haN,:ng been circulated among the peasants, urging them to rise up against their landlords, . a ruse which had been practised before in the Polish pro vinces, had no truth in them, for a more fatal policy could not pursued. They were told that a war of Jacquerie had broken out in some provinces in Russia. It would be a fearful thing if an empire with a population of between fifty and sixty millions should come under the dominion of an ignorant and degraded peasantry. On the other hand, the , Polish provinces could feel no sympathy in this movement. • Poland would act as a breakwater to Europe, instead of being a source of danger. The Earl of HARROWBY said he would follow the re , commendation of his noble friend and alter his motion ac cordingly. The motion, as amended, by leaving out the words "and of other countries," was then put and carried• DRUNKENNESS (IRELAND) BILL. The Earl of ST. GERMANS, in moving the second reading of this bill, said its object was to enable magistrates to commit drunkards to local bridewells. The bill was read a second time.

Earl GRANVILLE moved the second reading of this bill, and suggested that it would bo more convenient to take the discussion on the next stage of the bill. The Earl of DERBY said he quite concurred in the opinion that it was not desirable to take the discussion in so thin a house. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the ehair at twelve o'clock. • PRIVATE BUSINESS.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. W. MARTIN moved that it be an instruction to the committee that they should have power to divide the bill into two or more bills. _ _ _ Mr. NEWDEGATE supported the motion, and said he considered the bill as a sequel to the Consolidate d Supply Bill of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He contended that the latter measure should have been divided into three bills, in conformity with the spirit and practice of Parlia mentary proceedings. The Chancellor of the Exchequer had shown great dexterity in regard to this bill now before the house. In the Consolidated Supply Bill he forced through the principles of the charges proposed in taxation, and he had reserved for this bill the details that were neces sary to give effect to the carrying out of the alterations introduced. Direct taxation was odious, but it was when it came to be enforced that its objectionable character became apparent. He believed some of the provisions of this bill were unnecessary, and he called on the house to show that they would not assent to the innovation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in requiring them to legislate in the dog days on important financial questions. Mr. GLADSTONE said the hon. memberdid notunder stand, and misrepresented the nature of this bill. How ever, he had considered the motion of the hon. member (Mr. Martin), and he would assent to it. Mr. HADFIELD contended that by one of the clauses of this bill relating to beer-houses, flood-gates of vice and immorality would be opened for the purpose of replenish ing her Majesty's exchequer. Mr. HENLEY supported the proposal for a division. After some remarks from Sir J. FERGUSON the motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER entered into some explanations, in the course of which he stated that he proposed merely by this bill to obtain administrative powers, and denied that he had introduced any fiscal novel ties by this measure. What he proposed was only to ex tend principles that were already in operation. In illustra tion of this he referred to the clause relating to the income tax, and contended that the only object proposed was to effect a more equal distribution of that impost. With regard to the 43d clause, to which there had been considerable ob jection, though he did not concur in the views expressed by some hon. members, yet, he would aban don it, considering the late period of the session. Under the circumstances he trusted the hon. member (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. HENNESSY said that he did not think the ex planation of the right hon. gentleman satisfactory. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) had disclaimed having introduced any novelty, but he contended that it was a novelty to be required on the 19th of July to discuss im portant financial changes which should have been submitted to their consideration in February last. He concluded by moving " That this house will, upon this day three months, resolve itself into the said committee." The CHANCELLOR of theE X C HE QUER said the hon. had member not made himself acquainted with the real nature of the bill, and he trusted the house would not accede to the motion, which would have the effect of in juring seriously the interests which he was desirous to protect. bir S. NORTHCOTE defended the course adopted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but he thought the clauses relating to succession duty should be postponed, and, if that course were adopted, he trusted the hon. mem ber (Mr. Hennessy) would not press his motion. Mr. PHILLIPS agreed with the last speaker, and ex pressed a hope that the succession duty would not be pressed. After some further discussion, in the course of which strong objections were made to the 44th clause, which imposed pains and penalties of a novel character, Mr. HENNESSY said he would withdraw his motion-if the Chancellor of the Exchequer would omit from the bill this clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was sorry he could not comply with the proposition of the hon. member. The house then divided— For the motion Against it B2 Majority Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to afford the house some information relative to certain clauses before the house went into committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he could not conveniently adopt that course, and must re serve his explanations until the house went into committee. After some irregular discussion the house went into com mittee. In reply to Mr. HENNESSEY, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained that the object of the clause was to enable mithylated spirits to be sold without license, which would confer considerable benefit on the public, there being at present a 10 guinea license imposed on this article, the use of which was ex tending daily. Clauses Ito 8 inclusive were agreed to. - Clause 9, with some modification, was also agreed to. Clausen 10 to 14 were agreed to. Clause 15 was postponed. On clause 16, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it renewed the duty on race horses, and did not, as had been feared, affect Ireland. The clause was agreed to. Clause 17 was also passed. Clause 18 equalised the penalty for selling game without an excise license, and was agreed to. On clause 19, Mr. HENNESSY moved an amendment, which had the effect of restricting the power of dealing with cases of illicit distillation to courts of petty session, consisting of two or more magistrates, instead of one only, as proposed by the bill. The amendment was agreed to, and the clause, as amended, passed. The following clauses to No. 37 were agreed to. Clauses 38 to 40 were postponed, and clauses 41 to 41 were negatived. Clauses 48 to 53 were passed, 44 and 55 were struck out, and clause 56 agrced to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should proceed with the postponed clauses on Tuesdaynext. LACE FACTORIES BILL. The house went int) committee on this bill pro forma, and its further consideration was postponed till Tuesday next. The house resumed, and the sitting was suspended at four o'clock. The house met again at six. THE GALWAY CONTRACT.. Mr. CONINGB.AM presented a petition from Mr. G. V. Malley Irwin, similar to the one he had presented the other night, with the exception that the petition asked for an investigation instead of a prosecution by the Attorney - General. He believed he was expected to express an opi nion upon the petition, and he had no hesitation in saying that he thought there were prima facie grounds for the in vestigation. Should a discussion arise respecting the peti tion he was fully prepared to state the grounds on which he thought an investigation necessary. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving that the petition be read. Thepetition was accordingly read by the clerk at the table. The petitioner described himself as the projector of the Royal Atlantic Steam Navigation Company, and charged Mr. Lever and the officials connected with the company with false and fraudulent pretences and practices ; he stated that he was prepared to substantiate his allegations, and prayed that an inquiry might be made into the fraudulent practices which had been committed. Mr. Upon o t the v E question ßE thatrose theto petition order. It w do lie theas onthe practicet b table, charges were brought ag a i ns t any h on . member tohear hen that hon. member, if he wished to make any remarks, before taking any futther step. Mr. ROEBUCK—Sowu motion ought to be made before themembci is heard. The SPEAKER—The question is, that the petition do lie upon the table. Mr. LEVER, who was loudly called for, then rose and requested the permission of the house to state distinctly and emphatically that there was not the slightest foundation for “ gips%) allogAti9A Pctitiou, (Hm) jr.)n 1() would not occupy the house with a detailed ex parte state ment, but he was most anxious for the fullest investigation into the matter, and he regretted that the investigation could not take place in a court of law, in order that he might have the opportunity of prosecuting the authors of the mis-statements which had been publicly paraded through the country by means of this gentleman or this man. (Cheers.) An action had been tried some time ago at an expense of some hundreds of pounds to him (Mr. Lever), and Mr. Irwin was now passing through the Insol vent Court on account of the expenses of that action, as he had not a shilling in the world. It was not right that he should be continually ennoyed by a man without character. He had documents with him which would establish the truth of his statements, but he thought the fairest course would be to appoint a committee of inquiry. He should, therefore, move that a committee of inquiry be appointed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CONINGHAM said that the other night Mr. Irwin was"charged with forgery, but he had appealed from hio conviction, and the question was still under consideration. Mr. ROEBUCK—Hear, hear I Nine months in gaol. Lord J. MANNERS rose to move that the petition be referred to a select committee. Mr. ROEBUCK—If a committee is appointer], it ought to be directed to inquire, in the first place, whether the matter contained in the petition is of such a nature that the house ought to take cognisance of it. Would the house toke notice of it if it referred to the hon. member for Galway in his private capacity ? I say that the accusation comes from a man who has been convicted of forgery. To telt me that the question of his guilt or innocence is still under discussion is utterly futile and false. The trial was in 1835, and the man lay nine months in gaol as a convict. Mr. CONINGHAM—He appealed. Mr. ROEBUCK—Appealedin 1835. We all know the meaning of that phrase. The man is a convict forger. He has brought actions against my hon. friend, he has been cast in them, and he is going through the court because he is un able to pay the costs. The whole matter is sub-judice, and it would be unworthy of the house to sow broadcast the accusations contained in this petition. The hon. member for Brighton (Mr. Coningham) has not even stated that ho is prepared to move for an inquiry. It would be unworthy of the house to send the petition to a committee without a preliminary inquiry whether it contains matter into which inquiry ought to be made. Mr. BOUVERIE hoped the house would not in a hurry take a course of which it might afterwards repent. The house had betterdetermine the question now before it, namely, whe ther the petition should lie on the table, before considering, what further steps should be taken, The proper course would be, if the hou: a meant to proceed further in the mat ter, that the petition should be printed, and that on a sub sequent day, after due notice, either the hon. member for Brighton or the hon. member for Galway should move to refer it to a select committee. (Hear.) They might then discuss the petition, whether or not it was a matter into which the house ought to inquire. If this course were not taken, they might be embarking upon an inquiry into the private affairs of members into which they had no right to inquire. Lord J. RUSSELL—The course taken as yet is perfectly regular. I quite agree with my right hon. friend (Mr. Bouverie), that the ho use ought to take any future steps with deliberation and caution. The hon. member for Brighton having given notice to the hon. member whose conduct is impugned, has regularly brought before the house a peti tion containing grave charges against that hon. member. The hon. member has challenged inquiry, and he was per fectly right in so doing. But it is for the house to consider first, whether this is a sort of charge which ought to be in quired into by the house ; and, secondly, what precedents there may be in similar cases. I do not think anything should be resolved on to-day further than that this petition,. if considored at all, be printed for the use of members only.. Formerly, when petitions of this kind had been printed and circulated, it had been justly complained that the house was circulating libels. He saw no objection to the petition. being allowed to lie on the table, and to be printed for the use of members, and then any hon. member on a future day might make a motion respecting it, being of course respon sible for his suggestion if he recommended an inquiry. Mr. CLAY concurred in the suggestion of the right h on . gentleman and the noble lord. He was glad that the hon. member for Galway was ready and willing to meet the charge against him, and he remarked that the fact that tho petitioner had been convicted of forgery was not in itself a reason for refusing an inquiry, inasmuch as the forgery hacl been condoned by his subsequent employment by the hon.. member. Mr. MALINS said that a petition containing charges of fraud against an hon. member required the serious considera— tion of the house, but considering the position of the peti— tioner, the statements in the petition ought to be received with the greatest caution. Before the house embarked upon an inquiry into the conduct of any one of its members., it ought to be considered whether such conduct could be in, quired into by any tribunals of the country. If the charges were of a civil Gr criminal nature, the petitioner could pm.. teed in the courts of law or equity in England or Ireland ; and if the charges were substantiat3d, it would then be for the house to consider whether the hon. member should be expelled or not, as in the case of James Sadleir. Suppose the petition were read, and ordered to be referred to a select committee, in what capacity were the members of the com 'owe° to act P (Hear.) Were they to act on the same as judges in the courts of law or equity ? If so, then he would merely say the ordinary tribunals were open to the peti tioner. For this house to enter upon an investigation of this kind would be going far beyond their jurisdiction, and would be a course fraught with great inconvenience and danger. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he thought the hon. member for Hull (Mr. Clay) had, in taking notice of something said about the character of the petitioner, stated that the hon. member for Galway was not in a position to refer to the charge of forgery, because he had, by employing Mr. Irwin, condoned that crime. It was not fair towards the hon. mem ber to make that observation, and he rose to claim fair play for him in this matter. The house would not act upon the statements of the hon. members for Galway and Sheffield,,, but upon the statements of the petitioner made in the courts of law and before a select committee of the house, and it appeared that when the hon, member for Galway made the acquaintance of the petitioner he was utterly ignorant that he had been convicted of forgery or of his antecedents. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CLAY rose to explain, and also to express his regret. The observation which he made was addressed to the hon. member for Sheffield, who had stated that the petitioner was unworthy of their notice because his character was bad. He did not wish to state anything unfairly against the hon. member for Galway, or to prejudge the question. Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was hardly necessary that the house should dwell longer upon the matter, and he thought it was the wish of the house to pursue the course pointed out by the right hon. gentleman the member for Kilmarnock. Mr. PAUL L a to im that they the oughthou s shouldteobe not give notoriety it t seemedhisto h petition,and ex tremely jealous before they co nsen t e d to assist the petitioner said in making these charges against an hon. member. The house had heard sufficient of the allegations, and they ought not to encourage such persons as the petitioner to come before them, but leave him to the proper tribunals of the country. He begged to move that the petition be re jected, because he thought the matter ought not to go further., Col. FRENCH thought that if the petition was to b© printed, the usual course should be followed of giving notice or leaving the matter to the committee on printing. He saw no reason why they should depart from their rules. Mr. PAULL rose to explain, but was met with loud cries of " spoke" and " order," and consequently he resumed hie seat. The house divided— Ayes Noes Majority —2l The petition was then ordered to be laid on the table. the petition, n s d a said ho ha dhad donetw i s c o e , voted netbe a f t o on Be r case, but ho opinion of the petition, and still less as of hi th sh e e r ha eoel atiogno good petition of t a . re ceiving petitions, to shut their doors agaiiis felt that it was impossible, s an immunity which this kind, and thus give to member uear, on the general . principle hear.)

(Hear, hear.) Mr. CONINGTIAM said it had been his intention to move fora select committee to inquire into the matter of the pe tition, and he would n ow g i ve notice that he would do so on a future day. The SPEAKER—Thi s is a question of privilege, and, therefore, it is comp e t ent for the hon, member now to move that the petition be printed. The course pursued in cases analogous to this is, that without notice, a motion may at once be made that the petition be printed, and for the use of members only. Mr. CONINGIIAIVI then moved that the petition be printed for the use of members only,. Colonel FRENCH would not oppose the printing of the petition, if it were distinctly understood that the hon. mem ber would found a motion upon it. (Hear.) Captain JERVIS thought that something should be said for those who had voted against the reception of the petition, beet use it had been stated out of doors that the house wished to cover an hon. member from any inquiry into his conduct. It was perfectly well understo o d t h at the house could reject a petition. He did not see why they shcuild receive a peti tion which was presented against a member, but which they would not receive if presented against a private individual. If the petition had not been presented against the hon. mem ber for Galway, and directed against the Galway contract, the house would not have heard a word about it. It was an attempt on the part of those who disliked that contract, and wished to get rid of it—(hear, hear)—to bring th e matter under the noti ce o f t h e house. bsery Mr. CONING HAM begged to say that if those observa tions tions were di rec t e d aga i nst h i m, he 'would give them th moat cli§tihet and emphatic ccntraaici on, Tic j? sad no per Share 13.14 stock stock stock stock stock stock stcot stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 6.4.0. stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 19.16 4 stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 12 10 stock BLOCK stock stock stock stock stock stock stock stock 50 stock stock stock stock stock 26 13 10 stock stock stock 23.6 d. 123 12i stock 6 stock 10s. 10 1.0.6 100 100 100 all all log i share) 100 stk 18 20i 204 10 100 I 100 100 174 20 stock 100 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock stock stock all all 13i all all 18.8. all all all all all - 3 - .2.101 7.4.0 Ifk 1.11.0 9.18.9 lk 10.0.7 1.7.2 6 41 19i 988} 19 1,31 051 i 93i 3 24 31
