unions a general revision of the valuation of poor-law in Ireland ; and if so, how soon the revision will be commenced.' '2. Whether it be still the intention, of the Government to appoint au Assistant Poer-law Commis sioner for the superintendence of such revision. 3. Whe ther it be still the determination of the Govern-. ment that the valuation of property, for the purpose of county assessments in Ireland (called the, Griffith's valuation) shall be continued, notwithstanding the tom= mencement of a general revision of valuation, for the purpose pf poor -rates ; or, whether it be propoSed by the Government to introduce any measure for the Conso lidation of the several valuations, so that county rates, poor-rates, and other local taxes, may be levied on, one uniform scale of valuation ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, with regard to the appoint ment of a Select Committee to inquire into the - opera= tion of the poor-laws in Ireland, he adhered to the pro mise made by the Government at the close of last ses sion, that if a desire was evinced on the part of Irish Members to have such a Committee of inquiry, the Go vernment would not oppose it.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the first question of the Honourable Member, he thought he was under a misapprehension with regard to the valuation; where a valuation was unduly made, there was a power given to the Com missioners to raise the valuation. As to the second zn o e n t i m, respecting the appointment of an Assistant 'ssioner for the superintendence of such revision, it was necessary to appoint one for that purpose. With regard to the third question, we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman to say that it was intended that there should be a revaluation. Sir D. NORREYS then gave notice that he would move for a Select Committee on the Poor-lawsin Ireland, unless the Government took the subject into their con sideration. STATE OF PAUPER LUNATICS IN WALES. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said he wished to put a ques tion of great importance to the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, re specting the state of pauper lunatics in Wales. There were 157 pauper lunatics in Wales, and only twenty ef them were in any asylum or licensed. house. There were 31 pauper lunatics in the county which he re presented, not one of whom was in a proper place of confinement s and, in many instances, they were treated in a most improper manner. The question he wished to ask, was, whether the attention of Government had been called to the treatment of pauper lunatics, or wliether any compulsory steps could be taken to make several counties join together to support pauper lunatics, which they- were enabled to do under the Act of the 9th George IV? Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that he quite agreed with the Hon. Member, that it would be desirable if the smaller townships combined together under the Act to which he referred, for the purpose of erecting lunatic asylums. No object could be more important; but, as at present advised, he was unwilling to render it com pubory upon them, and he was not prepared to say that he would introduce any measure on the subject. . Mr. W. 0. STANLEY then gave notice that he would, on a future day, bring the subject under the con sideration of the House. THE . LATE OUTRAGE AT BRIGHTON.- Captain PECHELL begged to put a question to the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite the Secretary at War, respecting, the outrage which had taken place some time since at Brighton, and with regard to which he put 'a question on a previous occasion, when the Right Hon. Gentleman acknowledged that an outrage had been committed by the troops, but that' itwas provoked in consequence of an attack upon a soldier by some-of the inhabitants. A trial was then pending, • and was now over, the result of it being that the soldiers-were convicted. Lord. Chichester, who was chairman at the Sessions, in passing sentence- upon them, 'said that they had been guilty of a very serious of fenqe, and that he would punish them to show that the peaceable inhabitants of the town were to be protected from the soldiers, who had been placed there for the preservation of the Vie. The inhabitants,of Brighton felt that's stigma `had been cast u... them by the Right Honourable and, Gallant 0 e cer. He now wished to ask the Right Honourable Gentleman whether he had made such an inquiry as would remove this impression from the people of.the.town, that the inha bitants brought the outrage , upon themselves, and whether the officers of the regiment intended to remune rate.the parties whose property had been destroyed? Sir H. HARDINGE said that it was an , erroneous impression to suppose that in any -statements of his he cast any, stigma upon the inhabitants of Brighton. lie was led to believe at the time that the soldiers had received an insult, but frohi the result 'of the trial, it appeared that they had reeeit'ed no previous provocation of any kind. He had stated before his ‘opi nion that the regiment had misconducted itself in break ing the peace; it was a serious offence, and he hoped the sentence they had received would teach them in future, to observe the laws of the land. They had been each imprisoned during a period of ten months; with hard labour, for the assault. What he stated with regard to compensation was, that the soldiers of the regiment, and not the officers, were ready to subscribe to compensate for the injury which had been done. An order had been issued by the Commander-in-Chief pre venting any soldier from entering the town unless accompanied by a non-commissioned officer. TAHITI. Mr. HINDLEY said, that having seen, by a second edition of the Times, that the French Government had disapproved of what had been done in Tahiti by Admi ral Thouars, and that it was their intention to adhere to the Protectorate treaty, he wished to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (the First Lord of the Treasury) whether he had received any official informa tion on the subject ? Sir R. PEEL said that he had not received any - in formation on the subject beyond what had appeared in the second edition of the Times, and which • had been received by express. He had no reason to doubt the' authenticity of the information which appeared in that journal, for it 'gave the quotatiOn from the ailoniteur, which was the official organ •f the French Government, to the effect that it was the intention of the French Government to adhere to the treaty of 1842. He said he deprecated hasty questions on the subject, and he had a strong and con fident impression that the French King and the French Government had acted on the impulse of their own feelings—(Hear, hear)—and he was rejoiced that they had •acted • in a manner which was so satisfactory to the feelings of many persons in this country who were interested in the welfare of our missionaries. He be lieved, the statement in the Moniteur was perfectly correct,' and that the act of Admiral Thouars had not been ratified by his Government . ; and he was bound to add, in justice to the French GovernMent, that this act was the voluntary act of the French 'King and the French Government, and that it was not lieCeS airy that any communication should be made on the subject by this Government. On the motion of Mr. DUNCOMBE, A return was ordered of cases of insanity which oc curred in the Pentonville prison. • GAMING TRANSACTIONS BILL • Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know whether *it would not be desirable that the Gaming Transactions Indem nity Bill, which stood for a second reading, should be ginnted, in order that the House might judgeof its - prO-` visions before it sanctioned the second reading ?. -He, *would also express a hope that the Government would .not bring on the third reading of the Horse-racing Bill at a late hour. - Sir R PEEL said that the .Hon. Member for Man= ehester seemed to have a most curious notion of -what were measures of the Government, and *hat wererier. The measure he- had last alluded to was not brotight' forward by the Government, or any person connected' with it. He thought it was but reasonable that the' Gaming Trainsaetions Indemnity Bill Rhould be.pririt&l before it was:read a second time.—(Hear.) Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know what Hdn. Mem ber had the conduct of the Bill ? To this question no answer was returned, and after some further discussion it was agreed that the Bill should be printed before it was read a second time.• FACTORIES BILL. Mrs BRIGHT wished to know from the Right Hen. Baronet opposite, the Secretary for the Hothe Depart ment, when he intended to proceed with the Factoriei BilL At present, he believed, it was fixed for Friday. SirJAMES GRAHAM said, that it was intended on Friday to proceed with the Committee of Supply ; but, on that day, he would state when he would bring the subject forward. • - • NEW POOR-LAW. • ' - Mr. BORTHWICK' wished to put a question to the Secretary of State for • the Home DePartinent s He understood, th a t i n another place, of whielf . they often • heard, an important conversation had taken - place between a Right Rev. Prelate, and one of the Members of her Majesty's Government, from which it was to be presumed that the Government Would, in the course of the amendment of the Poor-htw Bill, a d opt Some measures for the religious instruction of the poo'r in' unions, by chaplains of the Church of England only. - He wished to know from the Right Honour able Baronet whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to introduce any such provision ? Sir J. GRAHAM had no hesitation in answering the question put -to him by the Hon.' Meniber, or •in stating what tho decision of the Government Was upon the point referred to by him. Her Majesty's Ministers were perfectly satisfied with the exercise of the dis cretionary power vested in the , Poor-law Com missioners , with respect to the appointment pf chaplains in workhouses ; he was , sure that they would appoint persons according to the necessities of the different localities in which these ap pointments were - to take place. He was not prepared to propose anssalteration in the law. As at present ad-' vised he was. perfectly satisfied with the state of the law, and in any discussion that might take place on the' sub ject he would bc prepared to show to the satisfaction of the House that the discretion placed in these responsi- • ble officers had beeri exercised in a most proper manner. - DUELLING. • • .1 :' Mrs TURNER, in pursuance of notice, asked the: Right • Hon. Baronet, the First Lord of the TreaSury, whether it was his intention to bring in a Bill for the more effectnal -prevention of duelling? , • Sir R. PEEL\ . said that her Majesty's Gdvernment •had not failed to take this important subject into their consideration, but they were not prepared to bring in any-new legislative enactment in reference to duelling. If the practiee-of duelling still existed, it was not owing to any defect-in the letter of the law, and her Majesty's Government greatly doubted whether any - good object could 'be promoted by 'altering the law.—(Hear, hear.) At the same time, they: had shown by the exercise of influence 'and authority, darinrthe.recess, 4 disposition to disourage the prat -. tics of'dnelling; s o fkr as it could be discouraged by the executive power.. Ite,believed that the feeling which had lately existed. on this subject had been excited in a great degree by the unforttmath result of a duel which took place iiethoiourse of last year. He thought there could Wild dOitin that - the'practice . of duelliiig 'was on .. .... Lord JOHN MANNERS' then rose to call the atten tion of the House to the motion of which he had given notice. He 'felt `that he was 'Nily justified in calling upon the House to join him.in• imploring her Majesty's interferenceln behalf of a royal victim of 'oppression. He knew that it was a matter of delicacy for the House to ask her Majesty to interfere- for the purpose of pro ! curing the liberation of a per Son iahe was detained by one of her Majesty's!allies. . But there were pia•cedents for eneh a course when the hononr and interest of the country depended on such a course to be pursued. He would. first refer ,to the precedent of General Lafayette, and he would then proceed to show that the honour and, interest ;of this country demanded the liberation of Don Carlos. i In - 1794, - General Lafayette with ' his troops refuge in Prussia, and he was immediately com mitted to a fortress by the King of Prussia. England was then atleace with ,Prussia i . but so, strong wa s th e feeling which existed .i n tlaii:: : Conntry respecting what .the people considered a hardship,- •that that House was ' called upon to interfere :in the matter. . General Fitz patrick moved an . address to the Crown to interfere for the purpose of procuring the release of General La fayette.l That motion was' defeated. But the ground upon which he (for,) John Manners) new clanned sup port for his Motion was the reason assigned forthe defeat of the address of 1794 to which he had referred. Mr,Pitt opposed the - address on the , • broad and intelligible, gronnd thet,Englandhaving had nothingtodo with the, transaction oould pot-in fairness. he .ciilled upon to in terfere.

'On thtubruk - .eteinal prin ciple of justice he (Lord J,.Manners.)dennindedlhia libera tion: Where wa..slthe,erime allere,,daigainst him? What offence had been Ilaidito his :Cliare---what tribunal had delivered its verdict against. him ? He (Lord J. Man . nerii)4as aware th4tl',.last . year, when this subject was debated, the Ncible ‘ , Lord, ..the:Me:riiher for Tiverton, .said that., England and .France : had , a right to in carcerate Don ' Carlos after the Convention of Algarve. It might- be.. -that Don C ar l os had . had ' some private communication with the . Noble,Lord :;, but all he. (Liiiii john. Manners) could say was that he couldeasily enter •into the feelings of a gallant roan, i who had been deprived 'Cif a. crown.such as of chivalrous Spain, by intrigues the most base that, ever sullied the of any •COuntry, finding :hiniOelf guiltless of all intrigue„ finding'hia claim to that crown defeated by those whom he loved because he knew them; who loved him heeauSe :they - knew him-he could con. .Ceive, and enter into the feqlligs of that gallant ! man at such . is. crisis and he 'COW& not • conceive how Do n Carlos could ~have acted otherwise than - he had done. But supposing the;Noble . Lord•to be right, he (Lord John Manners) saidthat thOlifiniatrynow in power, and those who formed thecin'ajority efithat.HOUSe, could not. avail themaolves' of the plea of the . Noble Lord. * So' long as the war was CoMinenced--aso long" as the gallant &feria .of the Spaniards to maintain the struggle, against the Jews Wild stock-brokers of Algeria existed—ao long the great;_ -• Tory party in . this: country, 'and those . who at present were its ' leaders; had a right to give their ' sanction ,to 'the .. 'Proceedings of Don Carlos. The Noble . Lord ,might rely upon his flimsy argument, to.which he (Lord John Man' . ners) had referred, but theleriiicihat (the Ministerial) . side of the House could not 'avail themselves of it. He (Lord.J. Manners) therefore apprehended that he had a perfect right to call upon that .House to interfere for the purpose of priaeuring Ole liberation of Don Carlos, He asserted, in the most emphatic Mariner, that no deed had been`cOmtaitted by Don Carlos which could justify for a moment the imprisonment he was now suffering. If , nothing had 'occurred , Previonifi, to the break- • Mg! out of the Nvar—if •••nOthing had - occurred during its :: - continuance that .; could 'be ' said to justify the present incarceration of- Don Carlos, had anything occurred Since which•conld be - said to offer the slightest Pretext for it ?. When.'Don Carlos entered . France, he was told that he would be treated like an unfortunate:prince. He (Lord' J. Manners) thought he knew what would be the interpretation which an assembly of English gentlemen Would put upon- these words.— . (Hear; hear.) Don Curios did ,not he could not-have anticipated the meaning which -was putupon them when . they were uttered by a coriatitritiollar Government; for imprisonment was a... measure meted - out to their unfortunate victim by 'a • Liberal GOvern-, went. • 1-140 DOli'arlds, he iviiiiiriikarri - ask, done any thing since his implisonmenti which could be urged as a , instificatioltr' of it'' - ?1 ,EVery pare• knew that Donna Chris-. time atone time walsiwilling to riSk . iiot. only Spain, but: even the life of dringliter :to suppl an t Espirtero.

Mr. VILLIERS STUART said, the House was aware that the King of Prussia bad allowed fugitive Poles to take up their residence in the Duchy of Posen, and had .conceded to , many of them the rights of Prussian subjects. It had bees lately , announced, that his Prussian Majesty had.given directions to withdraw the protection from these Poles. He wished to ask' the Right Hon. _Baronet, (Sir Robert Peel), if ho could, give the House any information upon the subject. Sir•R, PEEL-said that he was not prepared at present to give an answer in a definite manner to the question put by ,the Hon. Gentleman. •art cr SCOTTISH LAW COURTS. - Mr. WALLACE rose to bring forward his motion upon the above subject. He said that the legal tribunals in Scotland had been an immense expense to the.nation_ Instead of those Courts being called the COurts of Session, the' more proper name to use would be the Courts of Vacation, for they were idle. for nearly seven -months - in the 'year, and during those seven months the judges. -sat only for five days in the :Week. He held -returns in his hands which. would prove beyond doubt that the law authorities hr. those. Courts had allowed an enormous amount of arrears.to accumu late from the year 1781. up to the present time. The number of cases which were in arrear in the year. 1838 was 477, and he thought this was sufficient to require inYes.': ,gution.. The vacations of the Courts in general exceeded in length of time the sessions. There was another matter that called for remedy, namely, the choice of Courts, and he must say that he thought the delay and • ex pense incurred in the Courts in Scotland' were attri butable to the listlessness of the judges. . He firmly #ielieted that until a Court of Review (as . we understood) was established, there would be no satisfaction in the 'courts of. law. in Scotland. . There 'was no court more dreaded, with the exception of the Court of Chancery, than the ,Ceurt. of. Session. He would next advert to the expenses. In tbe first place he would _state - what these judges cost the country. The first division of judges cost the country 14,3751, a year. . Owing to the short time during which they sat, the amount of their salaries and that of' their secretaries was 1271. per day. The number of cases decided in the year 1839 by this division of the judges was 1.57, and therefore the judicial charge for each case—without any, reference to the chargesuf counsel--the j udicial charge for each case was 911. 1 ls.. while the cost in the courts pre• sided over by the other judges was 25/. 14s, for each case. All this waste was at the cost of both countries. He would now read.to the House a statement of the yearly cost of this establishment, and he believed _all the Honourable Gentlemen .who were friends . of economy . would be surprised to hear it. They. had thirteen Judges of the Supreme Court,' to a population of two millioss and a half. They might know by the number of • the English judges, whether this was a justifiable mode of applyi ng th e mo n ey o f t h e people. The cost of the judges was 42,7001.; that of clerki of the court 17,0001. There were also thirty sheriffs, who cost 16,5001., or, on an. average, 551/._ each per year. .He had no hesitation in saying that the most vicious: part of- their: _vicious system was the . having three dines . the number of judges required. When the . Nobleo, Lord the Member for Londonintroduced his County Courts Bill, the number of judges he proposed for all' England was twenty-five chief judges, and four others in the' event •of illness of the chiefs. The whole amount.: orshe cost of the judicial .establish , meat in Edinburgh . was not less than 150,000/. You might travel from one end of Scotland to the other, and you would not find one man who ',was• not:dis satisfied and disgusted with the whole • system of the .administration of the law in that coun try. In 1834, an Act was introduced by the late Government to raise the salaries of the' jadges, by which it was . held that it should give great facilities to. the . reeans of obtaining justice—the rules of Court were to be altered, and the time of session was to be :'extended so as to do Sway with the : Arrears of which so. , much complaint had been .mades and so justly.' The salaries of the judges were at that time raised to 1,0001. •. year each.. The. Court of Sessions and the Crown had the power of extending the sessions for 'one :month. Now,: by this act,. which .the- Nobl&Lord (Liird Sohn' Russell)-carried with 'the assistan*of 'thoSe who now- sat on the, opp o site -Fide 'of the' Hotise---:forit , was re= marked in Scotland, that whenever 'anything was to be done to raise salaries, both sides of thaflllihse (Hear, hear, and l'atighter)—the - causes in • the 'Court`- had diminished since one-half, arid this yeas' they' would diminish still more, • in . consequence of the 'general satisfaction with the Cciurt.—(The Hon. Mein tier 'then' read an extract from the Act of Parliament, -that gave the power to the judges and the Crown to extend the - sessions by two months.) • There was a place-ift Seothind 'where the Parliament used to meet, and there the Court of Scuts:Ai:was held. God forbid he should ever . see' a - parlianient held there again. Rut the judges -Were le. gislaters as Well-as judges, and they tnade--lawa•-WhiCh ought to be made only by the Imperial Parliament. They had full power to make rules for expediting- the public busi mess, but theY had not availed themselves of that po%Ver. The Committee which had Fat in 1814, and had re 'commended- an' increase — of the judges' salaries; had evidently coatempletettan increase in the, laboorsof the judges. As, a proof of. this, .he wouktrefer to the evidence given before that .Committee -by Lord Elgin, Lord Brougham, Dr. 'Lushington, and Mr. O'Connell. From their evidence it was clear that St had 'been con templated to make a considerable - addition - to the, la bours-Of the judges. Then, with.'regard to thepassing of the Acts of - Sederunt, one of the most.distilignished lawyers . Scotland, Sir Alan, ; qainnhell had littniglit in a *1785., to reduce the number of jud g e s ,, andiat the conclusion of the Act there Was, a .clause enacting that the judges should occupy themselves with ' revising ,and consolidating the' Acts of Sedestint • • That duty they had•negleetell to perform ; and 'at the present •moment the Acts of .Se,clerunt were 'an unConsolidated mass,' iVhicli had not been revised' for 300 years. . The complaint they made is-as this, that they had:l3 judges; and whi, did their duty ? Why the Lord Chancellor of ' England. What proof had he of shis Why that nearly three4ourths of all the appeals.eoming to the 'House of Lords, eame•from Seotland: Why was this ? 'WhY 'because, the „Scotch judges, although per ' feetly competent • to- do - so, -did hot • - .do their dtity. At the present moment ther o e f forty=five appeals from Scotl an d in the . HOuss twentrieven from England and Wal es ; a n d twe n ty f r o m Ireland, which was a most unusual number. Then with - respect to the superanntiations,, they an:ousted., , tO 15,01)0L a-year. Two of the judges receiving part of that - superannuation, had received upwards of - 70,0001,: one having retired nineteen .yeass, and another. fbtirteen.

The ()Peer who lost his life last year hid served his counts) , 1 with great' distinction. When his widow applied' for that pension to which she would have been entitled had he died in any ..mher way than by the hand of his, antagonist, her Majesty's Go vernment felt themselves compelled to refuse the application. With respect to the survivor, as that of ficer did not come forward to answer the charge after the lapse of the period which was allowed fur public feeling to, subside, he was superseded. The widow of the deceased officer having been refused the pension, and the survivor having been superseded, he thought her Mojestfs Government had shown that they were not unwilling to exercise their-legitimate authority for the purpose of suppressing the practice of duelling ; but theylwere not prepared, as he had already stated, to in trodameany newlegislative measures with that view. Mr. TURNER %kid, after what bad passed, he should feel it his duty, on future day, to move a resolution to the effect that duelling is immoral in its tendency ; that it brings into conk:Opt the laws of the country, and, is contrary to Divine command. Mr. T. DUNCOM'BE said it had been stated by the Right lion. Baronet (Sir Robert Peel), that the unhappy widow of Colonel Fawcett had, from the.mode of her husband's death, been deprived of a pension she would otherwise have been entitled to. He wished now to ask whether it was the intention of the Government to dis continue pensions to the widows of officers who did fight duels, and to break officers, as was now the case, if they did not fight duels when challenged to do so.—(Hear.) Sir R. PEEL said that after the notice Qf,his intention to move a resolution against duelling, just proposed by the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Turner) he thought it best to say no more upon the subject, but to reserve his opinion until the subject was brought 'regularly be fore the House. Majesty, in the Act 2 and 3 Vic., c. 36, as to extending the sictin2s of the Court of Session, if there shall be arrears of business in. the said Court,' or the state of the business otherwise may require it ;' and in virtue of the said power so reserved to the Crown, that her Ma jesty will graciously see proper, to command that the sittings of the said Court of Session shall be extended by twa months in each year, or by such other period as to her Majesty shall seem more proper." The SPEAKER called for a seconder, but as no Hon. Member answered, the" tiotionfell to the ground. Sir J. GRAHAM said, that perhaps the Mouse would allow him, although no motion was before them, to answer one point of the Hon. Gentleman's speech. The Hon: Gentleman had commented very severely upon the character of the Chief Justice Clerk of Scotland. Now, he (Sir J. Graham) could Atate that that learned indi vidual was held in the highest possible estimation by the whole bar of Scotland. He was elected unanimously, at a moment when party feeling ran high, and when he was in opposition to the Goiernment. His (Sir J. Graham's) duty was, in all cases where 'application was made for the mercy of the Crown, to -refer such cases to the con sideration of The Chief Justice Clerk, and although it might be invidious to say so, yet he could not refrain from stating that he received no such full, careful, and well-considered reports from . any .other jadicial autho rity as those he received from the Chief Justice Clerk., He (Sir J. Graham) knew that this learned individual had performed the important fiinctions of his office with the highesrcredit to hiMself—(Hear, hear.) DURHAM - ELECTION..
