Several petitions were presented against Sunday la bour in the Post-office; •• RUCALL 'OF THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR. Lord'BROUGHAM rose to call the attention of the mo ue to the proceedings• which had yesterday taken the French Assembly, on the subject of the P 1 471 OfaM:Drouyn de 1711uys, the French .Ambassador recall t otiatry. ',His Noble Friend opposite, tie mist' fr el this c vrhtlorivard Minister of State that he C andid an k d oe 2 w tr n a , had Yesterday, in , utter ignorance as had eTer A of t h e real facts of the case; had he _ be li el"` 4 - Ti e th at the recall of the French assured the 'A e o u r i rat h er the ?turn or that Ambassador, . was, not a rea.7ter of f (ma 1;011d014 f°: Paris geettereelk 4-- c w hich he (Lord' Brougham), that grave =F riar" bl Atarquis had not the- v e‘" e had • imagine d , A • • en it 30 be understood that the perhaps said, ,had u g i v en Ulm t() Paris, had been for return of M.

Now, • explanations - in the it turned out, that there w as not,the no b a view of Of a foundationf°l‘ taking r • Iled to make any the case. 'He h ad '' ot been re-ct! It had explanations. )3e bad made no wry's?) . u° been distinctli stated by. General Libtat the d for Foreign' Affairs,• that M. Drouyn de 14. gays " been re-called order to express the grave dreaaturirac- Lion with which the French Government regarded the conduct of England in the affeirs of Greece, and this account was echoed by the vociferous cheers of the representations of the French people elected by Univer • sal suffrage. It was said that there was no offence in tended to her Majesty by the absence of M. Drouyn de L'Huys from Lord Palmerstone's banquet. Be it so. But how happened it that if M. Drouyn de L'huys was obliged to go to Paris on that day that M. Marischackie, the French Gharg6 d'Affaires, was also absent ? It could not be said of him as had been said of the Russian Ambassador, that his family were suffering from indis position. With regard to the Russian Ambassador, it was very true that two months since his family had been suffering from indispofition, but that did not apply to the family of M. Marisculkis, nor to the family of the Bavarian Minister. The French,' the Russian, and the Bavarian Ministers were absent from that banquet. All the party of order in the French Assembly had cheered the announcement of General Lahitte, but the Mountain, the party of dis order, had remained silent, and he had had complaints made to him in Paris by members of the party cf order of the countenance which was given in this country to the exiles who made use of the asylum which was afforded them here to stir up disaffection between the French people and the French Government. That they from hence issued orders to their partisans he knew from the communisations which he had had with the French Government. From London were issued orders from Causaidire, and other less scrupulous members of his party for the guidance of the Rouge party in France, who took took their emblem for the colour of blood. He knew that it was impossible to expel these persons. He knew that it would be an infringement of our laws to attempt it, and therefore he would not ex press any regret that no means were adopted to expel them, but he was continually receiving remonstrances from the party of order in Paris, against the coun tenance that was afforded to those men in this country. It was said that they were not so ill received as they ought to be, but he knew right well that they were not received at all, and that they received no countenance from the authorities, for they were con- stand) , engaged in endeavouring to create ill-will be tween the two countries by their vile and worthless publications. He knew it would be said that all this would blow over; perhaps it might, but the repeated oc currence of such misunderstands could not blow over. without leaving behind them feeling of irritation which must eventually lead to a breach• of that peace, the maintenance of which to France and England, and to the whole of Europe, was of that importance which " passed all understanding." General Lahitte had stated that he had directed the letter which he had addressed to M. Drouyn De l'Huys to Lord Palmerston. Now either M. D. De l'fluys had neglected to read that letter to Lord Palmerston, in which case of course he could never expect to be. employed again by the French Government; or, having read it, his Noble Friend, Lord Palmerston had neglected to commu nicate it •to his Noble Friend opposite or his Noble Friend Opposite did not attach to that letter the importance which he (Lord Brougham) attached to it. He would - add that his opinion with regard to the rights of the question he should not form until he had . read the documents. Ho would not at present give any judgment between England and France, between Lord Palmerston and Mr. Wyse on the one part, or General Lahitte on the other. If after haying considered the matter he should consider the French Government was in the wrong, he ahead be among the first and most zealoua supporters of the British Government, or if he thought we were in the wrong, he should support the French Government. The Ma.iquis of LANSDOWNE would not enter into any general discussion of the question, but would merely put his Noble and Learned Friend right as to certain facts. In the first place, the French Ambassador, as he had stated last night, had presented no letters of recall, such as were ordinarily pre sented when an Ambassador was recalled from a Court. In the next place the reason why M. Mar schalchi did not attend Lord Palmerston's banquet was simply that he was not invited, because it was not usual to invite Secretaries of Embassies to :such banquets. The Russian Am bassador bad written to excuse himself from attending on the ground .of indisposition existing in his family. The papers would shortly be laid before the House, when he would be prepared to enter into the whole question. After mutual explanations from Lord Brougham and the Marquis of Lansdowne, and a few words from the Marquis f Londonderry, the subject dropped. LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LANDS (IRELAND) LONDON, FRID AY EVENING, MAY 17, 1850. BILL On the application of the Earl of Wicklow, the fur ther progress cf this Bill was postponed until after the Whitsuntide holidays.

Mr. DISRAELI said; it having been. an• nounced that the Ambassador' of the French - Republic had been;recalled from the Court of St. James's, and that that recall had .been occasioned by conduct on the part of her Majesty's Government, supposed to be derogatory to the honour of the French Republic, he trusted her Majesty ' s Government. wohld . feel the expe diency of communiciting tO'the House the cantles of an incident of such grave importance.--;(Hear, heat.) Lord. J. RUSSELL said all he could iit . Presentitato in reply to the Hon, Gentleman was that the Minister, of Foreign Affairs for the French Republic informed Lord Normanby, that, in cousequ.ence of what he con sidered misconduct on the part of the British Govern ment, he - thought •it necessary to recal the French Ambassador. M. Drohyn der -.Huy' had been. sent . here, in order to settle the . affairs- of Grstece, ,and negOciations . having' terminated, or lather failed,.. it was necessary • that . the Atabitiliidot who had been sent for that purpOse shouldin receined.' EN could only add that he regretted that any ill fdling should exist on the part of the French Government, be cause there bad been on the part of her Majesty's Government every wish to listen to the representations of the Government of France with respect to the affairs of Greece, and he had hoped that the intervention of Baron Gros, the French negotiator in Greece, would have been successful, and they were ready to afford every facility to bring the affairs to a conclusion by means o f the good offices of France. Baron Gros bad, for what reason he could not imagine, given up his mission on the 27th of April, and thus put an abrupt termination to all negotiations on the Part of France. But had he waited in Greece until the dispatches were received from this country, which ar rived almost immediately afterwards, no doubt the matter might have been arranged, and any unpleasant misunderstanding prevented. Sir J. WALSH said it was a matter cf no. toriety that the document recalling the French Am bassador was read by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the French Assembly, who stated he had requested a copy of it to be sent to the British Government, and he wished to know whether that document bed been communicated to the Govern ment, and was in their possession when Lord Palmerston answered a question yesterday on the affairs of Greece? Lord J. RUSSELL said no copy of that letter was re ceived by the Government. Mr. ROEBUCK wished that there should be no mis understanding upon this serious subject.—(Hear, hear.) It might be presumed, from the explanation of the Noble Lord, that some blame attached to the French Minister, for a breach of duty in not obeying the instructions con tained in the letter from his own Government. because, in the letter which the Foreign Minister of France read to the French National Assembly, there was a statement that the contents of that latter were to be communicated to the British Government through the Foreign Secretary of the country.—(Hear, bear.) Now what he wished to ask the Noble Lord was, simply, was the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department familiar with the contents of this letter when he made his explanation yesterday ?—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL said there were two modes of making a diplomatic communication to the Foreign Minister, either by reading the despatch which an am bassador had received from his Government to the Foreign Minister himself, or by leaving a copy of it for him at his official residence.—(oh, oh.) The last mode AU usually adopted—(ol), oh)—but in this instance that practice had been departed from—(Oh, oh) —and no copy of the despatch was left with his Noble Friend, though it was made known to him.—(oh, oh.) Sir J. WALSH must trouble the Noble Lord again. Vas he to understand that although a copy of the dis patch was not formally lodged with the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, yet when the Noble Lord made his explanation yesterday he was in full possession of the contents of the dispatch.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied—No doubt the French Ambassador read to my Noble Friend the dis patch which he received from his own Government in France—(Cheers)—but, at the same time, M. Drouyn de l'Lluys accompanied the reading of it with such obser vations and explanations which he thought proper to make during a long interview which followed.—(011!) Mr. C. ANSTEY—Ferhaps the Noble Lord will allow mo to take this opportunity of putting another question to him on this subject. In consequence of what has taken place in this affair, may thaMarquis of Nor manby be soon expected in this country ?—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to reply that no order had been sent out for the Noble Marquis's return.—(Oh! oh!) The subject then dropped. BURDENS ON LAND. Sir 11. WILLOUGHBY wished to know if it was the intention of Government to bring forward any measure this session for a reduction or equalisation of the bur dens that now press upon the cultivation of land in the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to reply in the negative. ESTIMATES. Mr. HUME would be glad to know if the Noble Lord proposed to take the estimates on Thursday, be cause at present it was his (Mr. Hume's) intention to go out of town for a vt•eek.—(Laughter.) Lord J. RUSSELL said it was advisable that the motion should be made for going into Supply on Thursday, to afford Government and the House an opportunity of entering into any explanation that might be necessary on the important subject which had just dropped.—(Hear. hear.) Mr. DISRAELI hoped the papers relating to the Greek transaction would be laid on the table before Thursday. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not propose to enter into any further explanation of the matter till the papers were before the House. Mr. COBDEN asked if the House was to understand that the motion for Supply would be moved on Thursday, for the purpose of discussing the question of Greece, or did the Noble Lord really intend to proceed with the estimates on that day ?—(Hear, hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed to go on with the ♦otes on Thursday. Mr. E. DENISON asked what votes would be taken? Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed to take in regu lar order the naval estimates which were not concluded, and then h• should proceed with the miscellaneous esti mq tes.— (Hear, bear.) ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS AND THE BISIIOP OF. EXETER'S HOUSE. Sir BENJAMIN HALL said, it appearing by the second report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, p. 11, that on the sth day of August, 1843, and the 26th day of May, 1846, sums amounting to 3,0001. were paid " for altering and improving house at Exeter," ha begged to ask Lord John Russell whether any further sum has been advanced for a similar purpose; if so, the date when advanced, and the amount, and by what authority such sums were advanced; whether any account has been rendered to the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners of the meninr in which those sums have been expended, and, it so, the date of such account, and when it was rendered. ci n oLtuhnoerc gallery, , J d O a tHedN w a s n R a sA U u S ung S du E e sr L ts, t L, who was 0108d45t, to say , asnadymt a ha l a m inaudible yt, almost by orders d a e r s s u of m amounting to 500/., and not 3,0001., had been advanced for that purpose. That sum was advanced out of a sum of money, the dividends of which the Bishop l of Exeter was entitled to draw. INCOMES OF THE ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS. Sir B. HALL asked Lord John Russell, whether, when the Ecclesiastical Commissioners last revised the incomes of the Archbishops and Bishops, they received from them a detailed account of their incomes from lands, fines, rents, and all other sources, for the purpose of show ing the gross income, and whether, in orderlto show the net income, the Archbishops and Bishops gave in under different heads the several items of expenditure; and, if not, upon what data the Ecclesiastical Commissioners fixed the sums that should be paid into the Episcopal Fund from the richer Sees, and the sums that should be paid from that fund to the poorer Sees; and whether the Commissioners will make a return of the data upon which such revision was founded. Whether the ,Eccle siastical Commissioners had, or have since, received full and particular accounts of the property belonging to the several sees, the mode in which such property is leased, the date of the several leases, the fines and rents re ceived by the Arehbishop or Bishop, and the names of the parties to whom leases have been granted. 3. As it appears by the return of incomes made in 1845, that the net income of the Bishop of London was re• duced from 14,510/. 9s. 4d. in 1847, to ,12,4811. 81. in 1843, notwithstanding .the Paddington estate was built upon during that interval, and the Bishop of Exe ter's net income tell from 2,136/. Os. 9d in 1837, to 3411. 10s. sd, in 1843, to ask whether any reasons were given for such diminutions, and if so, to what causes they are attributable ? When the Ecclesiastical Commissioners purpose making any report of their proceedings, no re port having been made for three years? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say the returns on this subject were made by the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners septennially, and that the period for making the next return, would be in 1851, when the information de sired the Hon. Member would probably be furnished. LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD asked Lord John Russell on 'what day after the recess it was intended to propose the second reading of the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill. ' Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the matter was in the hands of his Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland. li e (Lord John Russell) could not fix the day for the second reading of the Bill. BUOYS IN THE SOUTH CHANNEL. Mr. HUME asked the First Lord of the Admiralty loss ando removed to i n great 1846, on d whether any measures had been a do p ted to me et the wishes of !th e i n h a bitants of Sout h p ort ( as l a i d before this House in petition) respebting re p lacin g of the b uoys thein the removal Sout h o C f Channel, has l, e which id wereto erloe em incon venience to the commerce of that p ort and channel? Sir F. BARING said the matt er was one in whi ch the Admiralty could not directly in terfere. ABOLITION OF THE LORD-LIEUTENANCY , a O . F I RELAND. -7 . . The LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN presented a neti, Lion signed by 10,000 of the inhabitants of Dubli n against the removal_ of the Court of the Lord-Lieutenant froth DUblin. Mr. H. GRA.TTAN. presented a petition of a similar nature 'frem different places in Ireland. Lord J. RUSStLI., then rosei• and said he was ab o tt to move for leave to bring in a Bill . to provide for the abolition of the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, and for the appointment of a F t o w u o rth po S in e t c s re o ta f r m y j o s f re S p t r a e te ge . n .:_o. .he br wished ingin gthtioss.ucblearjectabewsfoyre the House he was not unmind ful of the great importance of it; and, in the first place, tion which had been- iiiduslriously spread abroad. The one was, that it was, the intention of the Government to remove the Conks of Lair' from Dublin along with the Court of the Lord Lieutenant. Now he could assure the House tha there was not the slightest intention of any step of the sort contemplated. The other was that this was an entirely new ides, and of recent origin. The pretient Government had had 'the measure in contemplation for some time and •when -Lord - Clarendon went to Ireland as Lord . Lieutenant; he went with a full under standing that that office would be totally abolished,' and that whether, the abolition shotild take place in a 'few months or at a longer time Woulddenenl entirelthe y could on the position of I re l an d and the circumstances of the . Governm e nt. The g eneral dgoeunberof,l principle s it was much bettei, as the countries were - united, that their , governeDients should be united. and that those who - -had the charg e of the , lash's: Of. the country, should be . able] t o meet together and consult, about the measu res to be. ado pted.. This would 'se much strength en by she opinion of one of the greatest men that :this country • could boast of,. whq had taken s great share in • 'the - itnioni ho was so imbued pith this sentiment that he could scarcely bear the temporary institution f the Privy Council in that country. The Noble Lord then proceeded to read an extract from a letter of Lord Somers in the Hardwicke Papers, There were reasons at the time of the union with Ire land for maintaining an Administration in this part of the United Kingdom, for the country was then at war. Still at this time the subject of the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenant was considered by the Crown, and although it was not thought advisable to adopt that step then it was nevertheless the opinion of the advisers of the Crown, that at some future period the office ought to be abolished. The question fur the House now to consider was, whether or no the proper period had yet arrived.—(Hear, hear.) With regard, then, to the Executive administration of Ireland, few would dispute with him that it was of the utmost importance that the great officers of State in Ireland should always be in a position to have oral communica tion with the Supreme Government itself. The officers connected with the Colonial Administration enjoyed that advantage, but in reference to Ireland, every important step or measure tha t was taken with regard to Ireland, had to be negcciated in the Government through the medium of written communications.—(Hear, hear.) The House must see the importance of having the chief minister for Ireland constantly in the Cabinet, so great indeed had that want been felt that the Legislature had been forced to place a Secretary fur Ireland in the Cabinet, and it too often happened that in discussing Irish questions there, the Secretary rather followed the bent of his own views than supported those of his chief the Lord-Lieutenant.—(Hear, hear.) What an immense advantage to the Execu tive Administration of Ireland it would be then if the chief himself who was familiar with the measures necessary for Ireland were unable to occupy that place in his own person.—(Hear.)

Gilpin, Esq., in the chair. The object of the meeting was to take into consideration that part of the Metro politan Interments Bill which will have the effect of securing a perpetual sinecure to the clergy in compensa tion for the loss of fees, which a discontinuance of in terments in existing burial-grounds will entail upon them. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, wished it to be understood that the object for which the meeting was called was not to uphold the great abuses which existed in the present practice of burying the dead among the living ; the pro moters of this meeting had as much desire to re medy these matters as the promoters of the Bill could have. What they sought to oppose was the extortion of those who sought:to create a.permanent sinecure in the Church, and who opposed themselves in this manner to the . progress of the really valuahle portion of the Bill. Mr. N. GRIFFIN moved the first resolution : " That this meeting, while it recognises the necessity of discontinuing the practice of interment in populous localities, demands that any legislative measure having in view that object, shall be tramed on sound and equitable principles. That without pronouncing an opinion on the ge neral provisions of the Metropolitan Interments Bill now before Parliament, this meeting regards those por tions of it which are of an ecclesiastical character with strong feelings of dissatisfaction. " That, in particular, it objects to those clauses by which it is enacted that the incumbents of parishes in which burial grounds may be closed by the operation of the Bill, and whose present duties in connexion with interments will be discharged by a body of salaried chaplains, shall receive, both they and their successors, a perpetual annuity as a compensation fur the loss of fees for services which they will no longer be required to perform." "That whatever view may be taken of the claim of the present incumbents to sue h compensation, this meeting denies the justice of taxing the community toy making a similar provision for their successors, and enters its firm protest against the creation of additional sinecures in an already burdensome ecclesiastical esta blishment." It was a painful thing for him to reflect that this mea sure had proceeded so far as it had done in a British Parliament. He did no deny that legislation was neces sary in this matter, but it ought to be simply on the principle that the public health should not suffer by the carelessness of private individuals. To that extent only ought legislation to proceed. But the present measure went much further than this; but the meeting would find in the 29th clause the particular reason why the Anti-State Church Association had interfered, and why the meeting had been held. It was the clause which provided compensation for incumbents, &c., and he begged it to be understood it was not simple and equitable compensation that they objected to—they would have been quite ready to agree to that; but not satisfied with compensation to the present incumbent, it went on to lay the foundation of a perpetual sinecure to the suc cessors of the present incumbents, and that too to be paid in a most unconstitutional manner. As far as he was concerned, he should advise an opposition to the entire Bill, though he agreed in the principle of it; but it had so much of wrong and injustice tacked on to it that those who had mixed up right and wrong in such a manner must take the blame, if the good which was in the Bill were to be rejected. He object©d to the principles and manner of taxation which was contained in the Bill. He did not think, when he looked at the growing spirit in the country, that it would be possible for the Board of Health to levy such a tax as was proposed. The Rev. T. H. HINTON seconded the resolution. Mr. P. H. HOLLAND rote to move an amendment to the motion, which he thought would be calculated to carry out the views of the mover of the resolution, without bringing them into a collision with the sup porters of the Bill. He was a member of the Sanitary Reform Association, and had a great desire to see the Bill pass as soon as possible. He believed the compensation clauses were an impediment to the Bill, and he wished to see them modified. He did not, however, think that the occasion of an Interment Bill was a time to make an inroad on the Church; and he was more dis posed to content himself with guarding against any future encroachments on the part of the Church. He should, there fore propose, in place of the last clause of the resolu tion, to insert a clause which would agree to the prin ciple of compensation to those who might be injuriously affected by the Bill, and that the amount should be settled by arbitration. Mr. EDWARDS seconded the resolution. Mr. PARIS, who announced himself as the agent for the London Association for the Abolition of Burials, which created some merriment in the meeting, depre cated any opposition to the Bill ou the ground of compen sation, as it would have the effect of retarding the passing of a good measure. The Hon. Gentleman was pro ceeding with his speech, but was greeted with so much uproar and derision that his speech became inaudible. The resolution was supported by Mr. ROGERS, and also by Mr. S. CRAWFORD, M.P., who expressed his pleasure, as an old supporter of civil and religious liberty, at join • ing the Anti-State Church Association in opposing this flagrant violation of both. He himself was a mem ber of the Established Church, but he had ever de clared himself against its connexion with the State, which he thought had inflicted a mortal injury upon it. It was, then, from a feeling of regard to the Church that he should oppose these clauses, both in his place in Parlia ment and everywhere else that he was able. Mr. E. MULL and others having addressed the meet ing, the proceedings terminated. LAW OTICES. CAUSE LISTS FOR TRINITY TERM, isio. SITTINGS AT WESTMINSTER IN TRINITY TERM, 1850.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFF'S COURT, May 16. CRIM. CON.—COLES V. MARSHALL. This was an action for criminal conversation. Its this case judgment went by default, and the question was the damages to be awarded. Mr. Parry was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Allen for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff, a ♦ery young man, was married to his wife, who was about 20 years old, in 1848. Ile was a carter in the employ of Mr. Lanham, a wholesale provision-merchant in the Borough, to whom the defendant, who was more than 40 years old, was foreman, at 51. a week. The plaintiff's wife, who was the daughter of a laun dress, kept a cigar-shop, and was visited by the defendant. The plaintiff had his suspicions excited, and refused to live with his wife, on which she ap plied to a magistrate, and he denied his liability to support her on the ground of adultery. The evidence to affect the defendant was not considered conclusive, and the result was that the plaintiff was discharged from his situation at Mr. Lanham's. Subsequently to the hearing before the magistrate, the plaintiff's wife and the defendant were traced to a coffee-shop in Newington-causeway, where a bed had been taken for the night, and there the officer who had watched them found then* in bed. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN made an energetic speech for the defendant. He endeavoured to show that the plaintiff had exposed his wife, and that a plan had been laid to entrap the defendant. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury would consider whether the evidence warranted the course pursued by the Learned Counsel in his ,eloquent speech, because if it did not they would consider whether the injury already inflicted on the plaintiff, a young man, by a person twice as old as himself, had not been aggravated—whether it was not a reason to increase rather than to diminish the damages to be awarded. The jury, after a short consultation, assessed the damages at 2001. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. MOUSE OF COMMONS, May 16 PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS BILL. The Rouse then went into Committee on this Bill on the motion of Mr. EWART. Mr. EWART, on the first clause being proposed. moved the addition of certain words making it !sinful to adopt the Act in any municipal borough. Colonel SIBTHORP considered there were already taxes enough, and a Bill of this sort was the last sort of Bill he should be inclined to sanction. Any law that would increase expenses indefinitely he considered to be bad in itself, and he was quite sure that a large por tion of those persons for whose benefit the Act was professedly passed would be quite unable to avail them selves of any advantages which other classes might de rive from it. The Bill was partial in its operations, and therefore he thought it proper thus early to say he would give the Bill his opposition. though, at the same time, he was always ready to promote and increase the means of amusement and information of the inhabitants of the borough he represented ; but then he should gi ve the requisite funds out of his own pocket, and ..not let them come on the public purse. Mr. STANFORD said it had been understood th a t a clause should be fr amed so as to give the rate-p a y ers o f a borough the opportunity of adopting the 13i1l, provided I two. thirds cf their number consented. A clause ho been inserted with that view, but certainly it did not sr pear to be lik e ly t o a tt a i n the ' object he advocated.: ' hS Hon. Member had not given the rate-payers the 0rP,,,,T tunity of judging and deciding for themselves. h e whole of the Bill now consisted of the title; for tbe Hon. Member had struck out the original clauses, and now proposed to frame a new Bill by the introduction of fresh clauses. He considered such a mode of proceeding highly obj , etionable. Mr. EWART said the introduction of such &Bill b ac ', been recommended by a Parliamentary Committee ol last year, and he thought the Hon. Member indiScresflsc in opposing a measure which would benefit his gen tuents; but perhaps the Hon. Member did n ot consider the people of Reading a reading and cries of " Oh, oh.") If it would meet the coos' nience of the House, he would postpone the further op' sideration of the clause. thsci Sir G. PECHELL said that many places other corporate towns would desire to benefit by them eo ul , P .' and he did not see why its provisions should not be e" tended to such towns as Brighton.—(Hear.) r d.
