Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the suagestion c.f the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was, no doubt, deserving of attention from the temperate manner in which he had made ih The propesition also of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman on the face of it append a very fair one. Still it was evident that there were parts f the Bdl which app, arcl to him (Lord J. Russell) such as could, and such as ought, to be taken now; and yet those were the very parts with respect to which the county Mem bers would with the postp -. element to take place. He owned it appeared to him that the question upon et bleb the Hon. and Learned Gentleman lied made up his mind, and upon which many Hon. Members opposite had made up their minds—namely, what should be the county franchise, did re t require postponement —(Cheers and count , r cheers.) Th v q iestion hal been two years be• fore the public in Ireland, and the plan of the Govern ment was in twat known. If the Hoe. and Learned Member was ready to discuss thst question, and eh fir the consideration of more intricate matters, he was ready to enter ill) the spirit r f his proposition. Bat if he meant that the Committee should now consider the registration clauen and agree to all those parts of the Bill which conformed to the Bill brought in by Lord Stanley, and postponed altog.tber the consideration of the franchise, to diet course he could not consent.— (Hear.) It was prop ised to extend the county franchise in Ireland now enjoyed by little more than 30,000, to 200,000. Such was the object of the Bill; it was in fact a question of principle, and one which the Committee was now prepared to discuss. Mr. F. MACKENZIE thought it quite clear that no concession was to be expected from the Noble Lord. The course pursued by the Opposition had been charee terised as unprecedented; but he ren embered more than one occasion daring his own c xperience in which a similar course had been pursued, and with success. The course pursued by the Government, however, es a' certainly unpre enlenteel. Mr. SADLEIR did not ES° to prolong the discus sion, but just to remind t'io Hon. Gentleman that this Bit had, in fee', ne more thin two new clauses in it.— (Hear, hear.) Toe rest of the clauses were the same as those in the Bill of last session and two years ago, and the object of these was clearly indicated in the altered title. These two clauses had nothing to do with the principle a the Bill, but merely relayed to rating. There was not the slighh.st grouud, therefore, for say ing that the House had been taken by surprise. Colonel CHA'T'TER rON said if he were dispcoed to agree to every clause in the Bill, he should still feel it his duty, as a Member et that House, , t r protest against the unconstitutional course pursued by the Grevernment. He did not obje:t to an extension of the franchise, but thought his constituente did not understand the Bill. He would take that o i sportanity of repelling the imputation which had been cast upon him by his Honourahle colleague, who said he did not possess 1 the confidence of his constituents. Ho appealed to any Member whether it would be possible or probable that a body of 700 or 809 most respectable men would have used such exertions to obtain for him the honour able position which he now held if such were the case. It hed also been asserted that Protectionist principles had nothing whatever to do with his reture. This he denied, for many had given him their support on the solo condition that he would support protectior. Mr. ANSTEY could not take the same low estimate of the intelligence of the constituency of the people of Cork as their lion. and Gallant Representative. There appeared to be no contest as to the principle of the Bill, or the necessity for immediat legislation. Why hesitate then to go into Committee ? It would be time enough to postpone clauses when difficulties arose. Captain HARRIS concluded from the silence main tained on the other side that a conviction prevailed there that the conduct of the Government wet; unjustifiable. —(Cries of " Hear, hear," and "No, no.") Honourable Members opposite were plt aced to assign motives as in fluencing the conduct of those who resis'el going on with the Committee, and professed to be acquainted alike with their tactics, their meetings, and the state of their stomachs. Oae saw the cloven foot of protection peeping out, and they wound up all by telling them that they wished to maintain the present franchise, although this was denied by every Member who had spoken met his side of the house. He was one of Vie sleepy Mem bers who were present on Friday night when the Noble Lord proposed to proceed tc-night with a Bill which was nothing more nor less than a ref o rm B i ll f or I re l an d.— (Hear, hear.) If the Noble Lord had beea proposing a reform Bill for England would he have acted in the same manner— would hu have given way in such a case? lie believed this to be nothing but the forerunner of an English reform Bill, and was only intended to test the feeling of the people. Mr. W. T. FAGAN denied that he had ever used the expression tbit his Hon. and Gallant Colleague (Colonel Chettertoe) did not possess the confidence a his consti tuents. he had never sta-el it, but lie had no hesitation in string now that he hsd not, politically speaking, the confidence of the citizens of Cork. He also defied any person to maintain that protection had aeything to do with his election, and if an election should occur in a few months he would venture to assert that protection would not find much favour there. With reference to this Bill, he would only sly that precisely the same Bill had been printed two years ac', with the exception of the two clauses, and he hal discussed it twelve months ago with his constituents, who ware perfectly familiar with it. Lord C. HAMILTON sail the Hon. Gentleman ap• peered to know that the Bill of last year was to be the Government me wure whereas he (Lord C. Hamilton), not having the advantage of the same confident al com munications, was certainly not aware that the Govern ment, when they brought forward a Bill for the sale purpose of withdrawing it, intended to convey to the public that this was to be their measure for the fellow irg year. Sir2h was not, eel t duly, the ordinary por cess. Hon. Members talked of the Bill as all but decided upon last year, the fact being that not a single vote was taken upon it. This was certainly a new theory of con stitutioual legislation. Mr. NEWDEGATE called attention to the fact that the Roman Catholic clergy ha I become converts to Por tectirmist principles. He was assured that many of them were so deeply impressed with the evils under which their country was suffering that they were willing to recognise free trade as a great error and to adopt a rounder policy. The Committee then divided, when there appeared— For reporting progress... ... 63 Against it 155 Majority —92 Mr. ADDERLEY protes• el against the usconstitu tional coarse pursued by the Government, who had left it a matter of uncertainty whether they were to discuss the constitutions to be grant al to five of our colonies of a reform Bill for Ireland. And what was the reason assigned by the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern ment for delaying the Australian Constitute en Bill? That it was necessary to make the parties interested better acquainted with its provisions —the very argai ment urged as a grouud for postponement in the pre sent case.—(llear, hear.) If large constitutional mea sures like these were to be shulllsd and changed from place to place, so that the House hardly knew within 48 hours which of two such great questions was to bo dis cussed, it would be far better to leave legislation entirely in the hands of the Government, and cenfine themselves to those Iced Parliaments of which they had heard lately. He knew very well that there were many Hoe. Gentlemen opposite aho would be perfectly willing to pass any Bill under heaven the object ef which was the extension of the franchise. The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by moving that the Chairman do now leave the chair. Colonel SIi3THORP expressed his determination to give the meaiure all the opposition in his plwer, in con sequence of the unlnndieme way in which tl - e Goren:- meat bad acted. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman re- tarred to the division of the previous Thursday night, and observed that if the adherents of the Treasury had been excluded the Government would have been left in a minerly. They were now commencing a most dan geroua.and unconstitutional course, and tl.e duty of the House was to stop the m a t o nce . le hope 1 his friends on thet side of the House would avail themselves of all the forms that Parliament allowed to prevent the Gc nutmeat from bullying and over-riding them and the country.— (Hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS reminded the House that this was the sixth div,ision they had had upon the glestior, and Bike I how far such a course was to be preceedel in ? Hon. Memkcrs opposite would 1(01 very much offended if their conduct end termed factious; but it had teen qualified by the Hon. Member fur Bucks, who hal termed it a factious proceeding for constitutional purposes. H e did not know how the country would telee such pro ceedings. He had always looked upon the Hon. Member for Warwickihire as the advocate of local and popular government in Australia, and comparing that with his conduct on the present occasion towards Ireland, ho must say that it was somewhat inconsistent. Why, at one time, he had almost looked upon the Hon. Ger tleman as the advocate of the repeal of the unior. It Was said that it was distance lent enchantment to the view, and it would be well for the people of Ireland if they were at a distance, as they might thou hope for the sympathies of the lion. Member for Warwick. They had been now three hours engara d in a factious opposi tion, and he thought the bast thing that could be done was to leave Hon. Gentlemen on the other side to take their own course. Like certain animals that should be nameless, they would cont . nue swimming till they cut their own threats.—(A laugh.) It appeared to him that they were working out that principle; they bad certainly pushed Ministers ti their saddbeskirts the other nighr, and some of his countrymen might probably imagine that they meant well, but that delusion, if it existed, would be dispelled by their conduct that night. The Government had been of late becoming almost poll tically insolvent in the et es of the people of Ireland, but the opposite party had again [et them up in capital. It would obtain fo the Government great popularity on the other side of the Channel, and the cry in every one's mouth would be, that Lord John Russell was fighting like a game cock far the political privileges and fran chisee of the Irish peep'e.—(A laugh.) Lord C. HAMILTON hoped the Id h re =plc wauld understand what was going on in th. t H ease Viet night —he hoped they would - understand that there were in that Howe lush and English Members who would rot allow me Imes to be brought forward in a manner wholly unprecedented, if not unconstitutional.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill proposed t r increase the franchise, and it had only been introduced to the House on Wednesday last. It was, in fact, one of the most important Bills intro duced us regarded Leland since the R form Bill, and yet all the ordinary utaeer of Parliament had been derail d from with regard to it. He maintained that Ireland e entitled to the sarnt regard and consideration and re , pect as any ataer part of the empire ; and that due tim e should be afforded ta the people of Irelaed anti her re presentatives to consider its provisions; more especially as the whole basis cf the Bill proceeded on what did not exist—namely, uniform rating.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said it might be %cry convenient to, the Government to endeavour to convey to the people of Ireland that the object of these divisions was to obstruct the measure; but that was not the iron view of the ease. —(lean) Ile did not thiek that his ride of the House weadd lose the confidence or respect tf the List' people by making an effert to have their business conducted with some regard to courtesy, end some observanee of the trial forms of the Musa—Olean) The Hon. Mem ber for Warwick had reminded them that Hon. Geet'e men opposite had been urging an lnerease of the fil,:- chlso as a panacea f eh tee evils of I . eland. His own opinion was that, large and liberal as the tnecenre might seem, it was very probable that rho.e who bro;'ght it ie would be likely to burn their o n fingers the result. Nay, many of the most loud-mouthed orators in . fa vour of the measure would probably, when the new Parliament was called t)gether, net be found Members of ire There was one qustion, and one question only before the House. lied the Government acted ir.- genuously in their conduct of this business?— (Hear, hear.) He thought the facts that ha l been stated amply justified them in the opposition they had given to proeeeding with the measure, aid wle thes they were beaten by an amide:AA majority or not, sufficient had been stated to enable the public to form a candid and impartial judgment upon the question. No one could deny that the measure was one of the greatest importance, bet in addition some Hon. Gentleman said that although important it was not novel. Ore of the argumente used in its favour was that they ought not to oppose it now because it hal been in troduced fifteen years previously by Lord Morpeth. No man had a greater respect for the present Earl of Carlisle than lie had. At the same time he did not un derstand that even a measure introduced by that Noble Lord fifteen years ago should Le looked upon as a mea sure having received the sanction of Parliament. Why, if he mistook net, Lard Merpe:h had brought -forward a measure t) grant 5,000,0004 for the construction of railways in Ireland. If he (Mr. Disrasli) proposed such a measure now, would the House support hire?—(Heree, hear.) Ho would be glad t know who had read the Bill last year, or who would study a Bill wh;ch the Go vernment had declared they did not intend t> carry. It the measure had re aly been introduced •by the Noble Lord last year—if it had been canvassed and diseuseed by the House, and had gone through the various stages which the wise constitutional firms of that House. had devieed for the prevention of all hasty, crude, and ill considered legislation, then the aeeument might have Lean of some avail. He did not sse ts hy MOASLITeft submitted to that House should not undergo the same fair and can did hive ligation which, whoever was the Minister, he truited would always be the characteristic of the House of Commons. Thu House would judge whether he was indulging in any imaginary assumptions, or whether he was not stating details the authenticity of which none could question. Let them look at the authet tic docu ments—let them look at the Speech from the Throne. First, they were told that there were some measures which had bean postponed at the end of the last session for want of time, that would be again laid before them. —(" Hear," from the Treasury bench.) Ile expected that cheer, and had waited for it. But those who cheered must prove that the preheat was one of those ear asureF. "Among the most important was one for the better government cf the Australian colonies." But with regard to the measure before the House, what did the Speech say? Her Majesty had directed various measures to be prepared for the improvement of the con dition of Irelend. Why that was a new paragraph and a new catalogue, and what was the last of the list of new measures thus prepared? The mischief's arising from party processions; the defects of the laws regulating the relations of landlord and tenant; the imperfect state of tha Grand Jury Aet; and the diminished number of electors for Members to serve in Parliameat.- -(Elear)—will, together with other matters of serious conscquAice, form the subject cf new measures to be submitted for your consideration.—(Loud cheering from the Opposition benches.) It was claer, then, that this could not be taken as a measure that had bemprevialksly unf'.er the discussion and consideration of the house. Why, not only was it placed in the Speech from the Throne in an inferior position with regard to thio mea sures that could not be passed for want cf time—not only was it placed fourth, but the confidential eteent of the Treasury, who arranged the lied Book, had, in preps ing the orders t f the day last week, omitted even to mention the name of the ale) The whol e proceeding clearly showed that :he condeet of the Go rernnient was neither candid nor ingenuous, nor was it consistent with the respect and consideration that was due to a minority cf that House.—(llt a-, h. ar.) In a great popu'ar asiemblv like the present 15 behoved the Minister cf the Crown, whoever he might be, to tak e care that his cond u ct sh o uld b e beyond impeachment.— (Hear.) He did not think the conduct •of the Govern ment in the present instance was beyond impeachment. lie thought the epestion was one which required the greatest consideration and forethought; and that could hardly be staid to have been given to a Bill which bad only been read a scond time on Feiday night. The Noble Lord wad bound to take care that a measure of so much importance should be well heralded and well an. nounced, in order that all those Hen. Members who hal amendments or suggestions to make should be prepared with them. Li no one of those respects had the conduct of the Government been either clear or satisfactory. They had taken the present course of opposing the fur ther progress of the Bill that night with great pain and much unwillingness ' but they had bean compelled to do so from a sense of duty, end none cf the petty taunts that had been levelled at himself or his friends would in duce him to move from the cause.—(Loud cheers)—and, in the long run, he wee satisfied that all man of business, sad all men of common sense (he did not, ef course, in clude the Era ling a g it a t ors ) wou ld a d m i t that theyhad acted with temper and disoretior.—(Hea , -, hear.) Mr. AI)DERLEY said it would be much more con venient if the Government had adhered to the course marked out in the Speech from ehe Throne, and had taken the colonial measures in the first instance. He wished ar ask the Noble Lord whether he was aware ,t as the Australian Conttitution Bill was loft at the end of the last session, there was in reality no Parlia mentary sanction for the GevernracA of Westan Aus tralia ?—(llear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said the Hon. Gentleman ap peared to have adopted the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Dablin, and taken the Austreian colony under his Prot ction. Hon. Gentleman appeared to be desirous of making now the speeches they intended to make on the discussion of the Australian Bill. He would say that when the affairs cf that colony would come f ,re them he would : tae what the law was, and how 1-,r the measure cf la•t year was a temporary measure. The question at present before tie House was whether or n, t they should proceed with the consideration cf the Bill relating to the elective franchise in Ireland? The Hon. Member for Buckingham had given them a historical account cf the quea:ion, but his statement was subject to some criticism as regarded his facts. The Honourable Member for Tyrone said the Bill had been introduced last year fir the purpose of withdraw ing it, and therefore that no one had thought it worth while to look into its provisions. But the fact was, it Ras introduced for the purpose of passing it, but the discussion of other measures pret•entcd its being carried. He did not, however, see how that should prevent Hun. Members looking into it, or how the Government were to be held answer &Az! f,r their not studying the Bill. The lion. Gentleman had tr, ated them t) an eauasera- don of the measurts in the Spnch ft om the Throne, cum notis variorum. —(A laugh.) The Uop. Gentleman b.,d stated that certain mst.crs would form the subkct of Les measures to be submittAl to the con-idergticn t f the House, as if that was a portion of the Speech from the Throne; but what the Speech said way, will `. form the subject of measures to b 3 submittal for your eau sideration"—(Hear, hear.) Really he could not help thinking that it was not solely on an- - Junt of notice not having been given till seven or eight o'clock on Friday evening that Hon. Members wished to poit)one the Bill. Bseau:o it seemed 0 him that if They have no aversion tJ ^ discuas the enlargement of the f auchise, aster complaint hal bran mado,.and a division bad, and . the secse c f the House taker, that then they would have set themselves teriousiy to discus tl - e provisions of the Bill in Committe He could not help thinking that there was e. great relue , ar.ce to alter or extend the franchise at the bottom of the present op position. Although the prosel.t motion might delay the treasure, he feared he n)uld hold out to the Hon. Gentle moo opposite no faltiit.r consolatior. He believed a large majority if that House was di,pose I to concede. to the people of Ireland a mote exteailed flaw:l4le, and to enable the people of Inland at the next election to come forward in much greater tiumb,4s, and with that opinion existing in the minds of the majority of that House it was liktiy that Cie messure woul.l be pits4ed into a law during the present session. Now if that were to, would it not be better not to shrink from the discussion of the question, but prece: , d with It at once. 03e part of the -House appeared to thit.k the Irit.h feanciffie was already sufficiently extended—anuther Was of opinion that it ought to ba still further extended, and why then should net Vie sense, of the Home be tAen flirty on that as on every question that came under the discussion of Parliament ? Mr. W. MILES said that the principle of a necesssity for another Reform Bill for Ireland was admitted on all hands; but what he and the Hon. Members on his side of the House wished was, that th e 3oun!ry should fairly under stand what their plan was. as w,:11 as what the plan of the Government was. All they cad for was a little delay to enable the people of Ireland to consider the pro visions of the measure, and they could cot understand K by the MinistA.s should rt foie to accede to such a pro position. He was ast9nished that the Nubia Lord, who was so well ver;ed in c , ustitutional law, should have re fused his aueet to such a tlernan6!. He certainly was not awarr, until it had been stated by the Hoe. Gentle man (Mr. Addcrley), that Western Australia had been left without a constitution Eine° the close of last ses sion. The prop, course for the Government was to have taken tae'Amtral:.n Bill first. Lt tit be distinctly understood in Vie country that they were not averse to i. an extension of the franchise; but th c M tubers and the Irish public should certainly have been allowed time to discuss and consider its provisions. I-Ia should have no objection to consider the measure if only due ant allowed for that purpose. Colonel RAWDON was anry to find Elia! It eland and its interest was again made the suljtet of party discus :ion and dela'o in that House. Mr. HENLEY thcught that Hon. Meaabers on that side of the HouSe were treated soncewhat unfairly in having been charged with the attempt of making this a party question. If tley t) main : , this a party question, or to delay this prersed extension of the frar chise, they might have oppml the progress of the Bill on Friday, instead of permitt.i.g that stage of its pre great; to pass with only a low observailons.—(Hear.) They might have occupied two, three, four, or five nights in discussing the principle of the Bill on its s'cond read ing; and th .y might have ex eaded the subjce, which was very large, it to about 50 Irish debates.—(Laughter.) Th©y were now t 'tinted by the Noble Lord with making this question the bat:le-fie7d of r arty. Hon. Membere, who spoke prom varioua sid,•s of the House, took ea ferent vie,vs of what the franchise ought to be. Toe first clause_ however, went right lute the qtrit:on. The Noble Lord must know that if they got to the first clause. they could only have one vote as to whether " eight" should serid part of the Bill or not. It was therefore, but reasonable that time should be given to Hon. Gentlemen who took an into est in the measure. for the purpose of consid ring its details. He lamented the course which the Noble Lord had taken, inasmuch as it was edentate] to encourage discussion upon the o eq.).- stages of a measure, instead t f allowing the first and second reading to pass, as Hon. Members had done in respect to the present Bill, notwithstanding which they had beet taunted in the manner referred to by the Nob e Lore. Tee Committee then divided; the numbers were— Far leaving the chair ••• •• 70 Against it ... „, 181 Majority in tercur of Governmer t —ll4 Captain TAyLoil denied that it was the intention of the peril with which he acted to thfeat the Bill. All they wanted was time for its consideratioe. He telieveil that, under the impression that the Bill would not be pressed that evening, several L ish Members had not only h•fe the House, but scene of them bed actually gone to Ireland—one was the Hor. Baronet the Member for Cagan. It was curious to observe how the Government Bills had been shuffled together and had changed their position. Coul 1 is be in consequence of the 40 Irish Alernbers voting the other night against the Govern meet that this measure had been hurried forward?— (Heat, hear.) There were twenty more Irish Members who were absent on that occasion, bat who, if they were present, would also have voted in farour of the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire. It the Noble Lied did not give way, it was obvione that they must at least have tso more divisions. He would now move that the Chair man report no progress, end ads leave to sit again. The Committee again divided. The numbers were— For the amendment 70 Against it Majority in favour of the Government —ll5 Upon strangers returning to the gallery, Sir J. WALSH was addressing the llouse. He re pudiated, he said, the charge of their offering a vain obstruction.—(Hear, hear.) Hon. Gentlemen opposite must be aware that teey would riot adopt such a course without leaving, a strong justification for it.—(Hear, hear) • It was quite certa'n that vehen a party was dritee to delay the:proceedings cf the House by those forms which the House allowed, they must be well aware that there would be a are ?dy appall to the public opinion of the country.—(Cheers.) Unless they felt justified in taking such a course nothing could be more unwise than their adopting it. He ad tressed the House during the present discussion because he was present at the debate on Friday, and ho must say that he never was present at a discussion in wbieh the minority showed themselves more disposed to enter fairly into the con sideration of a question on i:s merits.—(Cheers, and cries of "Oh, oh," from Members on the Ministerial Leeches.) Never was there, he said, a more temperate appeal than that made by the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for the University of Dublin. No one who list -ned to that Hon. and Leaned Member could ever suppose that he had then been disposed to adopt a factious course. They had another and more honourable motive for per sisting on teih occasion. It was to vindicate the rights of the minority —that tie House might Lave a full, and a fair opportunity of discussing a question on its merits; a question, too, which affected the vital interests of the empire.--(flear.) The Noble Lord had said that those who hal opposed this Bill hail an autipathy to the ex tension of the franchise in Ireland. lie had never heard a charge from the Noble Lord more destitute of foundation than that.---(llear.) They could not tell without mature consideration the results cf such a mea sure; and they could not permit the country to be taken by surprise —that the persons reading the newspapers in the morning might find, without any notice, that the whole of the constitution cf Ireland had been changed. flu mast say, that he It f the Reuse on Riley with the impression that a liberal measure of delay would be granted before this Bill was proceeded with. Ile moved that Mr. Bernal di leave the chair. Mr. M'CULLAGII said that the HOP. Baronet had on F idly night intimated pretty plainly what course he inten.h d to take; and now they had on every occasion a new excuse for delay. Instead of a useless discus sion, they might employ their time much more usefully in comid-r:ng the first clause. Lord J. MANNERS' remarked that the first clause was in this case, as in other Bills, a very important clans - .—(Cheers.) Colonel KNOX said the objection cf the minority was that an Irish Bill should be proceeded with in the ab sence of Irish Members. The Secretary fir Ireland had postpone.] the Bill of telant-right, because the Irish Members were absent on the awz,.s. Here all that was asked was a similar indulgence.—(Hear.) On this ground they had justice and right on their side. He hoped, then, that the opposition of Members en this side would be persevered with, because they h ad b een un fairly dealt with, and trickery: had been a t ?Laved to be practised upon them. Sir W. SOMERVILLE explained that the Tenant right Bill had never been discussed, and therefore it was fair to postpone it ; but this was a Bill of a dr ferent kind. In 1348 this BiU stood for Commi tee. Did the Noble Lord the Member for Tyrone receive instructions from his constituents ; and, if not, why not? Lord C. HAMILTON said at that time the impres sion was that the Bill was to be founded on a new valuation; but he sae I the Right Hon. Baronet did ha never hear of a Landlord and Tenant Bill before?— (Cheers.) Thero had beeh numberless Bills on the sub ject, and the same principle applied to one measure as to the other; whilst in the Queen's Speech the Landlord Bill stood bs4ore this.—(ll(ar, hear,) Mr. STANFORD next addressed the House, amid frequent interruptions. He comnisined of the great dis ceurte.y c f Hoe. Gentlemen. Ile complained also of an Hon. M,mber designating the opposition to this measure as a "course <f organiz .d hypccrisy."—(Cries of "Oh, oh.') He thought that the Noble Lord ought in cour tesy to give way to the decision of the House. He co - A not terrain from expressing his disgust at the application of such a term to such a body of men who were as sincere in their desire for the welfare of Ireland es any body of persons opposite.—(" Oh," "Divide," andcheers.) What. he asked, had the Noble Lord done for Ireland? And what did he intend to do for Ireland? —(Haar.) He called upon the Irish Members to state what large advan tages they bad secured to their country by following . the Noble Lord's leadership. —(lleer hear.) It etas true that now and then he had offered them a little dole in the shape r f a few hundred thousand pounds, and then fecr suspending the habeas corpu s in helmet had come down with a new censtitutisn. But was that no speci men of insineerits ? Was that no Parliamentary tactic? Why, it was simply drawing elf the attention of the country from real ;se :e einces, and fixing it up on the ma nufacture of a thing wide!) would be of very little, if any, use to thene—(clear, hear.) Therefore, he said, that that (the Opposition) tid e of the House would be Y."— right ain reterng upon the N o bl e Lord the phrase cf (Cheers, and cries of r t r u bl oP :NNoble Lord was ex t reme l y f un d o f making ti e e and in n ee particular instance of late his doing to had pressed e s p ec i ally serviceable to him, inasmuch a 3 it turned o f f the attention of the douse and the country from the consir'e-ation of the very imp n'tsnt qeestion of our colonial p..liey.—(Ques.- tiou, and divide) Mr. SCOT 1' thought that the Noble Lord had aeted in a manner which was alike unrair to the House, to g the colut.ial interests, and particularly to the interests of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Th e Noble Lord would not 6 have dared to introduce and press forwdrd a measure of g 4 such magnitude affecting tesple of Scotland, without affading them an opportunity of h. arn• V. ing the nature of its provisions. True, t:e Noble Lord said that the counties of Ireland fr.. di:l rot met upon any given days, as in Scot- o lend, for the purpose of discussing measures which might affect their interests; but thi s only rend ere 14 dit the more LI necessary that a greater extent of time should be af- t forded for the Irish Members to ascertain the sense of .; their constier.e.ats. Eith er te-morrow or on The r rsday i the Hon. Member for Montrose was to introduce a me:- 1 sure upon the subject c f the Parliamentary repreonnta tion of England; and if the Noble Lord would not con sent to defer the pram/fit Bill at the instaece of a cons:i- Coaxial opposition, he should at least defer it in order E. " to compere it with the new Reform Bill for England.— 4 (Hear, hear.) In legislating upon the prindiple of pie -ice they were bound to extend the t for the con.i deratien cf this measure until tare repreientatives of I-e- 6) Luid were possessed cf the distinet opinion of their con stituents upon the subject.—(Divide, divien,) Sir J. WA LMSLEY'said that of late speeches had been &live' e t oat of do ors by Hon. Geetlemen oppo.ite of extreme liberality, all of them advocating an extension g f the fr aschike and an appeal to the people. If that a appeal were to be made at ell, surely it would be pre- gi ferable that, so far as Ireland was concerned, it Os „sad bo made to some tee) or three hundred thousand of its te inhabitanes, instead of the small and limited number who now possessed the franchise.—(hear, hear.) He c p, thought the House would employ its timo much more satisfactorily to its constituents if it proceeded to ; cuss the details of the Bill rather than mettera which were perfectly irrelevant to the subject. The Committee then divided for the eighth time, and there appeared— For the motion ... o"** 75 Against it ... ••• 194 Mejority against the motion —ll9 Lord J. RUSSELL thin rose, and perceiving the inutility at that hour (half-; net eleven) of attempting to prose. d f rather with the Bill, moved that the chairman do report progreee, and ask leave to sit again.—(oh,e The motion was agreed to, and the House resumed.

Machines will be exhibited in motion whenever it may be desirable to do se, and it may be fund practicable to provide the necessary arrangements for that purpose. DIVISION (B),—MANUFACTURING MACHINES. Although in arranging this class for exhibition it will generally be found advisable to separate products from the producing mechanism, yet the latter should always be accompanied with sufficient specimens of the raw material, in its several stages of manafacture, and of tLe finished product to make the operation o f th e machinery intelligible. The complete series of tools and machinery that belong• to the manufacture of any object of common use, such as a watch, a button, or a needle, accompanied by specimens of the olject and its parts, in their various stages of :progress, is so instructive and interesting that it is very desirable to of tain several such series for the propsed exhibition. SECTION' M.--MANUFACTURES. Manufactures to be exhibited in this section must be in their finishedstate, as fit fur use.

SIR C. NAPIER AND THE INDIAN ARMY. Tie 133mb3y papers publish the following order of Sir C. Napier : " Head-Quarters, Camp, Lahore, Die. 15, 1849. "At the late review of the troops on the pLin c.f Meean Meer, the following egregious deficiencies were evident to all : " 1. That some commanders of the regiments were unable to bring their regiments properly into the general line. "2. One commanding officer of a regiment at tempted to wheel bis whole regiment as he would a company " 3 Several officers commanding companies were seen disordering their companies by attempting to class them from the wrong flank. "4. When the line was ordered to be formed on the left column, some commanders deployed too soon, and ordered their lines (thus improperly formed) to double quick,' in order to regain their pssition ! This was all bad ; but it was worse to see the regi ments, on receiving the word to double quick, at once charge with loud shouts—no such order to charge having been given by any one, nor the word I repare to charge ;' nor did anything occur to give a pretext for such a disgraceful scene, exhibiting both want of drill and want of discipline ! "5. Bad as this was, it was not the worst. When these regiments chose to' charge,' the Cornmander-'n- Chief, to his astonishment, beheld the men discharging their firelocks straight up in the air, and he saw some men of the rear rank actually firing off their muskets to the rear over their shoulders as their bearers (he will not call them soldiers) were running to the front! Ire feels assured that no such scene could have oc curred in any other regiments in the army ; if ever such again happens, he will expose the commanding officer of any regiment that so disgraces itself in public orders,, to the whole Indian army. In the course of his service he never before witnessed such a scene. Na commander could go into action with a regiment capable of such conduct, without foaling certain that it would behave ill! The Com mandtr-in-Chief will, therefore, hold commanding officers responsible (for they alone are to blame) that any soldier who shouts, or charges, or fires without orders, be instantly seized, tried at once by a drum head court-martial, and the sentence executed on the spot. Courts • mat tial which try such dangerous offenders will, the Commander-in -Chief has no doubt, uphold mi litary discipline and military honour against outrageous and criminal disorder. This order may be deemed severe—the Commander-in-Chief means it to be so, f,r he will not pass over without animadversion faults which, if tolerated, would in the event of uer pLo ji d e u h ce the ce e rt J ain mm d an d a e e a r t -in to -u t i hs ie i f maramkyes. ofThe reviews which the e re t v roa w ps s are not to be taken as so many chips in porridge.' Tn-y are made for the purpose of ascertaining what officers are fit to command battalions, and there being no want of such in the Indian army, he will feel it to be his bounden duty to remove those who are not ; and whenever he finds a regiment' fire," shout,' or charge,' without orders from its commander, he will, after this warning, remove the latter from his command. " The Svoy is both a brave and an obedient sal dier, and whenever he bel.avts ifl , it is in a great measure the fault of his commanding officer. " The drill and di lc i p li ne of all armies rests mainly with the commanders of regiments and of companies. They are in immediate contact with the officers, non commissioned officers, and private soldiers ; and to them general officers must look for that perfect obe dience without which any army is an armed mob, dangerous to its friend=, and contemptible to its enemies. "The Commander-in• Chief does not hereby call on commanding officers to torment those under their orders by long and harassing drilling. But he does call upon them to instruct their officers, and to in struct themsslves, and also their supernumerary ranks, that they fue to seiza any man in their front, who dares to shou', or task, or fire, or run, without orders. wn General officers commanding divisions and b r i ga d es in this army ere called upon to see that commanders ka l t y th t ee are abundant first , rate soldi ers an d fis this o f regiments do their duty on those p o i n t s. lma n der i n - C h i ef deloles k not knows w a order "The to Con all commanders—he nt-rate regi ments, in the ladian army; but he applie3 it to those whcse regiments are in bad order.
