A letter from St. Petersburgh, Jan. 21, says : " Yesterday the Emperor passed in review, on the Square of the Admiralty, all the garrison of the capital, and the troops quartered in the neighbour hood. The weather was exceedingly fine and mild for the winter season. He was accompanied by the Grand Duke, his eldest son, the Grank Duke Con stantine, his second one, the Grand Duke Michael, and the Duke de Leuchtenberg. Notwithstanding the traces of suffering visible in his features, the Emperor's health appeared to be in no *way affected. He often testified his satisfaction to the - , generals and soldiers, approaching' several of them, under the pretext of correcting their carriage, but in reality for the purpose of addressing them with a few kind words. It was remarked that the Emperor often chatted with his son-in-law, and showed him many marks of affection." _ Letters from Vienna, of the 30th ult., state that the Duke of Saxe Coburg was much better. A letter from Berlin, Jan. 30, says :—" The King has just conferred the honour of hereditary nobility, -with the title of Baron, on two learned men, M. de Scht•lling, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Berlin; and M. Schoeulein, First Physician to his Majesty. Count de Bulow, who had been long at Copenhagen, nego tiating on the subject of the Sound dues, has returned, without having succeeded in the object of his mission."

The board of guardians of that union positively refusing to carry the Act into effect, would not make a rate, or appoint a collector. ' The Poor -law authorities in conse quence of these circumstances had, in November last, moved in the Queen's Bench fora mandamus to compel the guardians to makes rate,and appoint a collector forthwith. That mandamus had been served by order of the Court upon the Board of Guardians, collectively and indivi dually ; and they would be obliged immediately to ap point collectors, and to levy the rate. The 'execution would then be nullified, on the amount being- paid out of the rate. EXPORT DUTIES.' Sir R. PEEL laid on the table certain papers relating to the operation of the export duties. THE PRINTING OF COMMITTEES' REPORTS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, seeing the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool in his place, wished to put a question to him in reference to the report of a Com mittee of which the Noble Lord was chairman last year. That Committee made a report; which was laid on the table, and withit an appendix. They were both ordered to be printed. The report was printed ; but the appendix was not printed to the present hour. He had sent re peatedly to the printers ; but he was told that the report could not be had, because it was wa i t i ng wa for the appendix, and that the appendix co u ld n o t b e h th a e d, hands bec ausetll o ; a M ember of the C omm i ttee to be s waqing for th e proof, which was in cor rected. Now he (Mr. Duncombe) insisted that after the Committee laid this report on the table their functions ceased, and they had nothing more to do with the report or the appendix. He was in possession of the appendix by special favour of the Speaker, but he wished to know from the Noble Lord why it was kept back, and in whose hands it was ? Lord SANDON said that the Committee had en• trusted the task of arranging and classifying the docu ments which constituted the appendix to the lion. Member for Kendal, who had taken great pains with the subject. These documents still remained in the hands of that Hon. Member, and he (Lord Sandon) was sure that whatever obstacles remained in the way of the pub lication of the report would soon be removed. - Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE expressed -a hope that 'no further time would be lost in presenting these papers to the House. Lord SANDON said: that as far as he 'Was concerned certainly no time should be lost. ' DUTY ON TOBACCO. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the tobacco manufacturers of London, signed by all but three, com plaining that their grievances still existed, and praying that the duty on tobacco might be repealed. THE LORD LIEUTENANTCY OF THE COUNTY period of the sessicn the financial statement of the Government brought forward. On the contrary, he (Lord John Russell) was sot taken by surprise at this announcement, for he conceived it would be a very convenient course to the country to adopt. It was a perfectly legitimate course for her Majesty a Ministers to state, at as early a period as possible of the session, the amount of revenue they conceived necessary for the public service, and then to state the means by which they intended to meet that demand ; at the same time he did , not look upon such a course as a precedent for future years. Sir R. PEEL said the reason he had made the intima tion he had upon this subject was, in order to prevent confusion and inconvenience to the public service ; but he did not intend that the amount the Government in tended to ask for should be a precedent for future years. Mr. HUME said the Noble Lord had acted contrary to what he would do in the management of his own private affairs—(Laughter)—for the affairs of the nation should be conducted on the same principle as those of a private individual, and it was well known that the pri vate individual who did not act so spent More than he could pay —(Renewed laughter.) 'They should be still more particular, more careful, and more eautious, as the money they spent was 'not their own, and belonged to the public. Mr. S. CRAWFORD was happy to find that, after the lapse of two years, the House had adOpted his pro osition.—(Laughter.) He begged leave to state that he had, two years ago, moved the suspension of the esti mates until after the financial statement had been made. He would not, however, offer any, oppositiOn to the mo tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and the House resumed. OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) We have received our overland dispatch in anticipa tion of the Indian blail of the Ist of January, and letters from our correspondents, together with Bombay papers to that date; and Calcutta papers to the 23d of December. India is tranquil, with the exception of some trifling disturbances in the jungles of the small state of Sawunt Warree on the Malabar coast. The disturbances which - existed in the districts- of Kolapore, at the time of the departure of the last mail, appear to have subsided. The celebrated fortresses of 'Punalla and Pownaghur, which lie to the north of the town of Kolapore, at a distance of about fifteen miles, were captured in a most gallant manner on the Ist of December by the force under the command of General De la Motte. The only remarkable casualty was the death of Colonel Hicks of the Bombay army, who had one of his legs shattered by a cannon-ball, which passed through his horse and injured the other leg. He died within a few hours. This occurred at the taking possession of the little town at the foot of the rock font ess. The capture of Punalla, which was looked upon in that country as being impregnable, has tended to bring about the submission of the inhabitants, who prefer now to rely on the mercy of the British authorities rather than attempt making a fruitless re sistance even in their best forts. Colonels Outram and Ovens have been both removed from Kolapore, and Captain Douglas Graham, an officer of great promise, has been dispatched by the Bombay Government thither, for the purpose of co-operating with Mr. Reeves, the Political Commissioner, in intro ducing a system of peace and good government into those districts. There appears to be a wanton tyranny practised by the Ministers of the Raja of Kolapore, which has driven his subjects into rebellions, and renders the removal of the Raja and his Ministers, and his system, a matter of political utility. - Colonel Ovens, who had been a prisoner during some days in Punalla, was voluntarily liberated by the in habitants two days before that fortress was attacked. .They had hoped to obtain favourable terms by his liberation. . In the small State of Sawunt Warree, which lies be tween the Kolapore mountains and the sea, a sort of " Robin Hood "'insurrection has been got up by an old freebooter, called Phond Sawunt, who, after some years of tranquil enjoyment of a pension, thought fit to try his luck in the jungles,_ and has induced his own sons, and even the son and heir of the Raja - of Warree to join in the excursion. They are now living in the jungle under the mountains ! and . they keep that part of.. the COncan in great confusion. Much of their confidence arises from the neighbouring state of Goa affording them a place of refuge in case of their being compelled to flee from their own country. The present Portuguese Governor of Goa, Senh or Pes tanha, is said to be well affected to the English ; but the impotent system which now regulates that state is such that the Governor is not able to prevent the frontiers of his territory from being violated by those insurgents. There was a considerable British force assembled in Sawunt Warree at the time of the departure of the mail, and every expectation existed of the speedy termination of the disturbances there. Colonel Outram had left Bombay on the 31st of December, in order to make arrangements for having light field detachments to scour the country, and to penetrate the recesses of the jungles. The system of- government in Sawunt Warree, as well as in Kolapore, requires to be placed on an improved and a permanent footing, for both States have, during the last twenty years, been the hot beds of frequent rebellion. In the small state of Bhopal which lies almost in the centre of India, there have Iteen, .during ten years, great intrigues at work between two Princesses, the Begum widow, and her daughter Secunder, who was the wife of the Nawab, and both of whom wished to hold the reins of power. The Nawab died at the age of 27, on the 9th of December, the victim of dissipation, leaving a daughter by Secunder, who is but 61 years old. Mr. Hamilton, the agent at Indore, was at Bhopal at the time of the death of the Nawab, and has made effective arrangements for the preservation of order and tranquil lity. In the north of India there was great watchfulness displayed by the civil and military authorities. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Hugh Gough, had gone en a tour of revision. The necessity of this watchful ness is apparent, for the kingdom of Runjeet Singh is now in a state of transition, and there is no certainty of a war not breaking out on those im portant frontiers, which may involve the best interests of British India. Heera Singh, the actual Prime Minister, is a young man, who together with his uncle Ghoolab Singh, with whom he is at present recon ciled, and a party of mountaineers, is endeavouring to seize the sovereignty for himself. There are revolts in dif ferent parts of the disorganized country, and - especially at Cashmere, where'some of the other mountain Rajss,whom he has oppressed, are now successful in their resistance against the Government of Lahore. Peshora Singh, a son of Runjeet, was at Ferozepore. - The Affghan Government, led on by Dhost Mahomed and his notorious son, Akbar Khan, has been pars', tied by the presence of the plague which came from the en virons of Bokhara, and ravaged the town of Caubul, and had, in the beginning of December, reached Pe ishawur. Fortunately it assumed a milder appearance as it approached to the banks of the Indus ; yet its pro gress was feared down that river, and also into the Punjaub. In Sinde all was quiet and order. The 78th High landers continued to suffer severely from sickness : it was said that they would be speedily removed from Sukkar to Hyderabad, and:perhaps to Bombay. Sir Charles Napier had marched from Kurrachee towards Shirkarpore, with an intention, as it was asserted, of avenging on the town and district of Poolajee the un successful movements of Captains Taite and Fitzgerald. The trial of Colonel Moseley had terminated in his being sentenced to be cashiered. His defence has been published, and it proves that the sentence was justly confirmed. The recommendation of the Court, to "have mercy" on account of his 39 years' of service, was n o t attended to. His fate is pitied , - for it is painful to s ee an old officer thus dismissed with infamy, but the mutiny in his regiment was unpardonable, and six men were hanged and others punished for his errors. In Gwalior there is some confusion arising from the conflict of parties, and not from any wish to create a war. The Minister, who is acting there under the guidance of Sir Richmond Shakespeare, is not popular. In Bundelkund and Saugur, where there was great disgust last year, tranquillity now prevails in conse quence of the decided measures adopted by Lord Ellen borough. The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, re ained at Calcutta, where he was regulating the means of educating the natives for public employments. lie had received several addresses from the natives, to which he gave highly satisfactory answers, and promised his aid for the improvement of the country and its people. The Lord Bishop of Calcutta had a severe illness during his visitation of the South Western-districts, but he was recovering his health at Umballa. In Madras the rainy season had been defective up to the middle of December ' • but a storm and violent rains had relieved the f ears o f the cultivators: _ The barque Lord Eldon was totally lost during the gale - en the 18th of December. A subscription was formed - there for the purpose of completing the projected pier, - under the superintendence of M. Piron, a French engineer. The news from China comes down to .the 19th of November. The principal point of interest was- the dispute between the Governor of Hong-Kong and the inhabitants relative to the registration of the population and a poll-tax, which was ordered by an ordinance published on the 19th of October. The merchants wrote a bold address, in which the measures of the Government were • declared to be " iniquitous." This address was . returned to the signers. An angry correspondence ensued. The Chinese population struck work, and. prepared to quit the colony. The Governor then withdrew the obnoxious ordinance to have it amended. This discussion has given rise to various comments, in which blame is thrown on both sides. One calm observer has stated, that the whole was a mis- understanding arising from the want of a sys tem of legislation, such as is practised in India, where the drafts of all such measures are published three months before enactment, in larder to give the public an opportunity of expressing their opi nion. This is a prudent mode, which prevents all violent breaches of public order. - Trade was dull in China. The French Ambassador had concluded the treaty with Keying, which was sent to Europe for ratification. The Secretary to the Embassy, 31. de Marquis de Ferrere le Voyer, came front Macao to Bombay, where he waited for the steamer of the Ist of January, by which he proceeded to Egypt. He has brought the treaty for the examination and ratification of the French Government. In addition to the Indian and other intelligence above given, we have received by this express the Paris paper s of yesterday, with a letter from our correspondent. The Ministerial journals express much satisfaction at the ton of her Majesty's speech, on opening Parliament, last Tuesday. but the opposition prints, one and all, come plain bitterly of the friendly disposition towards Russia, which they regard as displayed in the speech from the throne, and the comparative coldness with which it referred to the visit of King Louis Philippe to Windsor. From the commencement of the Ministerial crisis to the present moment, the hostility of the French opposition press to "(Alliance Anglaise"has in fact seldom appeared m ore v i o l ent nor more rancorous than in thearticles t o b e f oun d i n t h e papers b e f ore us .

Several petitions were presented in favour of some of the intended lines, but they were mentioned in so low a tone that we were unable to catch their names. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY. Mr. KEMBLE presented a petition in favour of tlie Lancaster and Carlisle Railway. KENDAL AND WINDERMERE RAILWAY. The HON. MEMBER also presented a petition in f& your of this line. ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATE DUTY. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presentQd two petitions from the attorneys practising in the neighbourhood of Burton on-Humber and Hull. praying that certain fees might be abolished by the House. MEDICAL REFORM BILL. The Hon. C. P. VILLIERS presented a petition from the surgeons and apothecaries ot Wolverhampton against this measure. POOR-LAWS. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE presented a petition from the Corporation of the Borough Of Leicester, in council as sembled, with reference to the Bill about to be brought in to consolidate and amend the law regu lating the law of settlement for the poor. He said that, perhaps, he would best discharge his duty in reference to this petition, by stating that it came from a very large meeting of the borough, and the subject it treated on appeared 'to have been very deliberately and carefully considered. He knew he could not enter fur ther upon the merits of the subject without founding a motion upon it, and therefore he would content himself with the observations he had made, and present the petition. CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY. Mr. TOLLEMACHE presented a petition in- favour of the Chester and Birkenhead Railway Extension Bill. —Ordered to lie on the table. NOTICES OF MOTION. Lord EBRINGTON gave notice that on Monday next he should present a petition from the Rev. Dr. Car withen, Rector of Stoke, in the diocese of Exeter, pray. ing that the statute of 2d and 3d of Edward VI., cap. 1, and of 2d Elizabeth, cap. 2, might be repealed, and that the House would cause to be made a calm and temperate revision of the Book of Common Prayer and of the Canons of the Church of England. The NOBLE LORD also gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to limit the exemption from turnpike tolls of carriages carrying her Majesty's mails. POOR-LAW COMMISSION. Colonel SIBTHORP moved for certain returns which he had moved for in the month of May last, but which had not yet been laid before the House. They were a return of the number of days each Poor-law Commis sioner has sat in discharge of his official duty at the office appointed for such official sittings, or at any other place for the same purpose. Also, a similar return of the number of days each Assistant Poor-law Commis sioner has been engaged in the discharge of his official duty, the place and periods at which those have been performed respectively, whether at the office of the Central Board of Commissioners, or in visits and inspections, or other matters of official duty at the dif ferent unions or union workhouses throughout England and Wales, the number of days employed therein, and the amount of expense incurred by each Assistant Poor law Commissioner, in travelling or in other incidental expenses relating thereto. On the question being put, The lioN. and GALLANT COLONEL said that he had understood that it had been the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to make some observation before the question was put. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON said that, perhaps, the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman would postpone his motion for the present. He did not know that there would be any objection to the ground of return, but he knew that his Right Hon. Friend was , not at present in the House, and that be wished to make some observations on the subject. Col. SIBTHORP had no wish to take any Hon. Member by surprise, and he would postpone his motion, PRIVATE BUSINESS-RAILWAYS. Sir R. PEEL said that the lion. Member fur Greenock bad a motion on the paper which was of great import ance as regarded the private business of the House. It was for a Select Committee to inquire into the present mode of conducting private business before Committees of that Uouse,with a view to the improvement of the same. Considering the increased number of railway Bills that were coming before Parliament, he thought the time had arrived when it would be expedient to appoint a Select Committee, consisting of the Hon. Member himself, and other Hon. Gentlemen who might hereafter be named, to consider what arrangements could be made fur in suring the facility and dispatch of private business. Points of great importance connected with competing lines of railway would arise, and great advantage to private business might accrue from the Committee taking the points of most pressing importance into considera tion, as it might be able to offer useful suggestions to the Housc. If, therefore, the Hon. Gentleman would postpone the motion of which he had given notice, lie Sir R. Peel) would, in the course of next week, make the necessary' arrangements for the appointment of this Select Committee. Mr. WALLACE felt exceedingly obliged to the Right Hon. Baronet fur his proposition, which was en tirely in accordance with his own view of the matter. He would postpone his motion. POOR-LAW IN IRELAND. Mr. F. FRENCH, seeing the Right Hon. Secretary of the Home Department in his place, would again put a question to him of great importance to Ireland, and one on which they had a right to expect the institution of a searching inquiry. It was the working of the poor-law in Ireland. Some alteration must be made in a system which experience had shown was distasteful to the people and unsuited for the country. The question be had to ask was, whether the state ment which had appeared in the Freeman's Journal was correct ? It stated that four executions had been put into the union workhouse of Ballinrobe. and the furniture and effects seized ; also that executions had been put into union houses of Castlebar and Tuam. Under these executions goods and effects had been sold at Tuam at a great sacrifice of property, and blankets that cost ten shillings per pair, having been sold for for five shillings. He wished to know from the Right lion. Baronet whether these statements were correct ? tsota S tteh ir enae JAMES GRAHAM said the Hon. Gentleman had given him n o ti ce o f hi s ques ti on w ith respect to one work house—thatof T uam ; b ut h e was not aware w h e ther the othernt ho w workhouses just ouse s read s correctfr o m an or Irishn( Inconsequencet. news paper as of the Hon. Gentleman's notice, he had directed his at tention to the s t ate o f t h e Tuam; workhouse only. There it was true that an execution had been enforced on the OF MAYO. Mr. BELLEW , inquired whether it was true that Lord Lucan had been appointed Lord Lieutenant of the county of Mayo. • Sir R. PEEL—Yes, it is true. GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL STATEMENT - THE INCOME-TAX. Sir R. PEEL rose and said -z-Sir, it may be con venient for me now to state the course which I intend to pursue on Friday next. I believe it will be competent for me, without moving for a Com mittee of Ways rand - Means, to take the course of moving a resolution to continue for a further period the laws which impoSe a tax on income. But as that is not the usual course of late years, I propose, on Wednesday to adopt the following proceeding, viz., to move for a Committee of Ways and Means, and then in the Committee of Ways and Means on Friday next, I shall propose a resolution to the effect, that the laws which impose a tax on income in Great Britain, and the law which imposes an additional stamp duty in Ireland, should be continued for a further limited period. That is the nature of the resolution I propose to move in Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. HUME—WiII the Right Hon. Gentleman ex plain to the House what are the taxes he intends to remit ? Sir ROBERT PEEL—I propose on Friday to enter into a general review of the subject, when I will state v hat course I intend to take, but I cannot enter into any 'explanation now. I will give the fullest statement on Friday next with respect to the nature of the pro posals her Majesty's Government intend to adopt. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—The Right Hon. Baronet proposes to do that in Committee of Ways and Means. Sir R. PEEL—Yes. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ACT. _ _ _ Mr. WALLACE wished, to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet. The Right Hon. Gentleman was aware that an important decision had been come to in one of the courts of Scotland with regard to the Weights and Measures Act. The decision affected the general understanding of the administration of the law on that Act in Scotland, and it had caused in particular dis tricts a very great degree of anxiety, not to say dis turbance. He begged, therefore, to inquire, whether it was the intention of the Right Hon. Baronet to take any steps in the matter ? Sir J . GRAHAM said that, in answer to the ques tion . of the Hon. Gentleman, he had to state that he was perfectly, aware of the decision that had been come to on the subject of the Weights and Measures' Act of Scotland, and he was aware that this decision Th e affected decision i a s i o large w p h o i r c t h i o t n h e o f H t o h n e . c o o e m u m t e u m n i a t y n S. referred Scotl a w n a d s . the decision of a judge on circuit—a very elaborate and learned decision, and one entitled to great weight—but at the same time the decision of a single judge. The same question which had been brought before this in ferior tribunal would shortly be brought before all the judges in the Court of Justiciary, an d b efore the , deci sion of that tribunal had been given h e t h ought it would be l p i r r e . m w at A u L re t t A o cdiEscu,ssisshtheed to orokpnrty of any alt erat i ons . how soon the ques tion would come before the court. Sir JAMES iiIiAHAM had every reason to believe that the opinion of the Court of Justiciary would be taken in a very short time, NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. YOUNG a new writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a Member for the county of Buckingham, in the room of Mr. Charles Scott Murray, who, since his election, had accepted the office of the Stewardship of her Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds. BRAZIL. Mr. BOUVERIE wished to know whether the report, that commercial negotiations had been entered into with Brazil, had any foundation ? Sir R. PEEL said he hoped unless the case were very pressing, Hon. Members would have the goodness to give notice of their intention to put questions of this nature. He knew the danger arising from a question of that kind, and he did ho p e that afew hours' notice would be given. Mr. BOUVERIE said he would repeat the question on Monday. SUPPLY. The House then went into a Committee of Supply, Mr. GREENE in the Chair. On the motion that a supply be granted to her Majesty, Mr. HUME said that he was of opinion that they ought to hear the financial statement before they voted any supply. He did not mean to divide the House on this question, but he wished to guard himself against, being misunderstood. Without having some informa tion before him, he was not prepared to vote for an increase of the navy. His opinion was that the esti mate for the navy ought to be decreased. His humble opinion was, that they should know the financial state ment before they voted any money for t h e expenses of the country, and if he did not oppose the present motion, it was because the Right Hon. Baronet promised at an early day to bring forward his financial scheme, His object in rising now was to guard himself, for the reason assigned, against being bound to grant any supply to her Majesty. His opinion was, that the state of the c untry required they should reduce, by every means in their power, the amount of taxation, and he would frankly state that he was surprised the Right lion. Baronet should have called on her Majesty to congratulate the country on the amount of taxation. If he looked at the papers laid on the table to-day, it would appear that fifty-nine millions would be received by the Treasury in the course of the year, an amount much larger than in former years— some ten years ago, when Europe was in an unsettled state, and the state of America required a large es tablishment. But, now, when evert hi ng tend e d to security and Peace ! an i ncrease i n their establish ments was asked f ur. He wou ld ask the Committee to supp ort h i s op i nion b y p res sing for a division ; but he b egged leave to enter hi s protest, for the reasons assigned, against the grant, and he should like to hear from th e Ri ght Hon. Barone t his exposition of the plans he had i n v i ew. —(Hear.) Sir R. PEEL felt assured that it could not be sup posed that her Majesty's Government would propose a vote for any amount o!? supply, without laying before the House a full statement of the reasons why that amount of supply was demanded ; and therefore he did hope that the Hon. Member would not prejudge and condemn the course the Government intended to pursue until he had heard what that course was. The Hon. Member had said he conceived that the increase of steam navigation was a reason why the taxation should be lessened ; but were it nut possible that it might become necessary to build new steam_vessels—(llear)—as the commerce of the country might extend itself.—(Hear.) Therefore, all he now asked of the Hon. Member was to suspend his judgment until he had heard the state ment he (Sir R. Peel) had alluded to.—(hear.) Surely, it was a legitimate cause of congratulation to the House and to the country that the revenues had increased, and that there was a surplus, and not m deficit in the Treasury. Mr. HUME had no objection to the Gove rnment con gratulating itself on that subject, and he for one would, of course, be better pleased to hear of a surplus than a deficit. But he would say that the on l y choice the country had o f a reduction in the public expenditure was by keeping t h e Chancellor of the Exchequer and the klrst Lord of the Treasury short of money.—(Hear, and laughter.) Therefore he could not c:eicur with the statement of the Hon. Baronet, for he would repeat it, that the increase of steam navigation was no reason for an increase of the public taxation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had no doubt but that when the Right Hon. Baronet made his financial statement he would assign good, and sufficient, and legitimate grounds for the course he nod announced it as the inten tion of the Government to adopt.—(llear.) He did not concur in the opinion 4 of his lion. Friend behind him, that it was matte? of surprise to have at this e*rlY POOR-LAW UNIONS. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON moved that a Select Com mittee. be re-appointed to inquire into the administra tion of the law tor the relief of the poor in the unions formed under the Act 22 Geo. 111., c. 3, s. 83, and to report to the House their opinion whether it was ex- pedient that the said union should be maintained. •Mr. SHARMAN CRAW EORD did not rise to give any opposition to the appointment of the Committee, but he thought the appointment of it was completely useless, and an entire waste of time. If the Government had determined to abolish the Gilbert Unions it was better to save the waste of time which would be consumed in making the report: Circuinstances had occurred at Rochdale from which it would appear that the Government were determined no longer to permit such relief in any place. The people of Rochdale had been accustomed to administer to the necessities of their own poor under the Select Vestry Act, but the Corn , missionera determined that they should do so no longer. But when he saw that this law was pertinaceonsly persisted in in the borough with he was connected, if it were the opinion of the Government that no other poor-law administration should exist in England but that which was provided by the New-poor-law Act, he id not think it necessary that they should go into a fur therinquiry into the Gilbert Unions. There were essential difference between the Gilbert Act and the new Poor law Act. The Gilbert Act gave partial relief, while the Pool-law Act gave no relief at all,' unless the par ties relieved were reduced to the lowest circumstances. He protested against the latter law, and the . people of England looked upon it as a violation of their rights. —(Hear, hear.) There was a contest going on on this subject between the people and the Government. It was a desperate contest, and one which the people of England would not easily give up. He could not, there fore, avoid taking that opportunity of calling the atten tion of the Government to the necessity of considering the new poor-law. It was a thing which could no linger go on. 'I. he Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department had heard from several Hon. Members the other night, that had been the result of this law. It had. produced lamentable distress, and it ought to be in some way amended— If the Government, however, were determined to go through with the law, they need not go into any furth er i nqu i r y on th e Gilbert unions. It was a measure of deep importance—it was a ques tion beyond all opinion of importance. It had been stated that loyalty existed in this country. It was certain however, if this law were persisted in, i,t would be on possible that this loyalty could be continued. Under those circumstances he called upon her Majesty's Government to declare their intention with respect to the parishes under the Gilbert Union. If it was their intention to continue the Gilbert Union, why not say so at once, and not continue the inquiry, which appeared to produce no benefit? Be would admit that it was impossible there could be any mode of relief which would not be liable to abuses, and no doubt some triffling abuses did exist in the Gilbert unions, but they were not so flagrant as those of the New Poor-law. Yen inquiry were to be made into these unions, it was only fair that there should also be an inquiry into the effect of the New Poor-law, and the case would he put fairly before the nation which was the best means of relief, as well as the evils of both. He had had the honour of coming up to the Right lion. Baronet, the Secretary for the Home Department, on a deputation from Rochester. They stated to him what had occurred there, and that out of 22,000 ratepayers, they were all against the New Poor-law with the exception of nineteen. The Right Hon. Baronet received the deputation with his usual courtesy, and the answer he gave was, that he had no power to interfere with the law. Now, if he had but the power to controul the Commissioners, he (Mr. S. Crawford) felt disposed to give it to him. He could not avoid making those few observation, and if it was necessary to make further inquiry into the subject of the Gilbert Unions, he thought that the New Poor Law ought to be considered as well. The motion was then agreed to, and the following lion. Members were appointed to serve on the Com mittee :—Mr. Barneby, Capt. Pechell, Mr. Thcs. Dun combe, Sir Robert Heron, Mr. Colville, Sir William Heathcote, Mr. Be , :kett Denison, Mr. Wrightson, Viscount Barrington, Mr. Manners Sutton, Mr. Strutt, Viscount Marsham, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Wakley, and Mr. Protheroe. POOR-LAW COMMISSION. Colonel SIBTHORPE, seeing the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Home Department in his place, would renew the motion which he had made in the early part of the evening for the returns which had been ordered to be made in the month of May last, but which had not yet been made as to the occu pations of the Poor-law Commissioners. The return had then been assented to, but be understood that the Right Hon. Baronet now intended to object to it, and would assent only to make a partial return on the sub ject. But unless the Right Hon. Baronet could give some satisfactory reason for objecting to that to which he had assented in the msnth of May iast he (Colonel Sib thorpe) should certainly take the sense of the House on the subject. He understood that the Right Hon. Baronet considered that there would be some difficulty in making the return, but there was no roster kept of the number of days on which the Poor-law Commissianers were employed The Right Hon, Gentleman, as he understood, said that there was no roster kept of the number of days which he was employed at the Home-office ; but he (Colonel Sib thorpe) did not wait for any return of the number of days which the Right Hon. Gentleman was employed, because he believed himself, and it was the general opinion of the public, that there was no public officer more attentive to the duties of his office than the Right lion. Gentleman.—(Hear, hear.) He did not say this out of flattery—(A laugh)—but he believed it was generally admitted that no one had given greater satisfaction as Secretary of State for the Houle Department than the Right Hon. Gentleman.— (Hear, hear.) He did not want any roster of the num ber of days the Right Hon. Gentleman was in his office, because he believed that the Right Honourable Gentleman performed his duties faithfully; but he did not belive that the same could be said of all officials. Now, with regard to these commissioners, he had no opportunity of knowing if they were properly employed or not. He should like to see a statement of where they were. They might be in improper places for anything that appeared to the contrary, and he had no oppor tunity of knowing whether they did or not, and he should like to have an opportunity of knowing.—(Laughter,) He wanted to know where they were, and what they were doing ?—(Laughter.) Now, unless the Right Hon. Baronet would assure him that he had no suspicions with regard to them, he must have the same return which he had before moved for, and the •Rigtit Hon. Baronet was bound to furnish to the House and the public wby he now refused what he before had assented to. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, what the Hon. and Gallant Officer had stated was true, that towards the end of last session he thought it his duty to make this motion, and that he (Sir James Graham) did not oppose it. But I submitted to the Hon. and Gallant Officer that with regard to the first of these two questions, there would be a great difficulty in making any return, With reference to the attendance of- the Chief Com missioners, no roster was kept any more than of the attendance of the Commissioners of Customs or Excise, or of the Revenue Board, and without such a roster it was hardly possible to give in detail the return the Hon. and Gallant officer desired. At the same time he was bound to state of his own personal knowledge, that no public ser vants were more attentive in the execution of their duties than the Poor-law Commissioners. It would be for the satisfaction, of the Hon. Gentleman or the House, that as far as possible this information should be afforded. So far from resisting it, he would do all in his power to furnish it. Could it be considered as any reflection on the Poor-law Commis sioners, he should have felt it his duty th have resisted the motion, but as he did not think this could be the case, he should . grant the return. Mr. F. FRENCH said that in the appointment of the Committee of Inquiry the word "operation" had been omitted. Ha begged to ask the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department, whether this had been done designedly, and if not, whether there would be any ob jection to bare the omission corrected ? Sir J. GRAHAM said that, although it had been stated by an Hon. Member just now, that suspicion at tached to every thing that was connected with the poor. laws, he would answer the Hon Gentleman who put the question to him, that he had not been aware of the omis sion to which the Hon. Gentleman referred. But if it would be any satisfaction to the;Hon. Gentleman, he (Sir J. Graham) would not objection to the insertion o f the word " operation." The returns were then ordered. RAILWAYS. Mr, YOUNG, according to motion, moved a resolution to suspend, for the present Session, Standing Order No. 103, " That all Petitions for Private Bills be presented within twenty-one days after the First Friday in every Session of Parliament," to fix the days for receiving Petitions for Private Bills. Mr. ENTWISTLE objected to the suspension of the standing order. At the same time he wished to explain that he was mistaken when he said last evening that the preliminary expenses for preparing a railway Bill was only about 30/, or 401. He found that the cost of printing only was of that amount. There was other expenses considerably above that sum. The Board of Trade had made their report against cer tain parties, and they would be enabled to delay printing their Bills until they had ascertained the reason on which the Board of Trade had grounded their decision. The parties, therefore, rejected by the Board of Trade, would be in a more favourable position than those in whose fa vour the Board of Trade had reported, because they would be enabled to draw up their Bill, embodying clauses to meet the objections which the Board of Trade had entertained to their plans. On that account he would object to granting so much time as had been asked to enable them to draw up their Bill, after the reasons of the Board of Trade had been given. He had very little experience in that • House, but he had codsiderable experince out of it ; and he could as sure the House that, from the very day in which the case was placed in the hands of Parliamentary agents, that their expenses commenced. All those expenses the Company in whose favour the Board of Trade reported had to bear, while the Company against which the Board of Trade reported only had to bear the expense of getting up and printing their Bills. The SPEAKER having put the question, Mr. ENTWISTLE said he should, move that the standing order with regard to petitions should not be suspended. Lord GRANNYILLE SOMERSET said (as we un derstood), it was indispensable that the original motion should be agreed to, in order to carry out the resolution of last session, for the appointment of the Board of Trade. Mr. HODGSON HINDE thought it had been clearly made out that it was necessary to take some step of this kind in order to prevent injustice from being done to those coapanies against whom the Board of Trade had re ported. Great injustice would he done if parties in whose favour the Board of Trade had reported were obliged to delay going into Committee till the adverse Bill was in a state of such forwardness as to be com mitted also. He therefore hoped that the parties wr a were promoting an adverse Bill should be obliged to bring their case before the Committee, though they were not in a state of forwardness to entitle them to come before the Committee. If some such plan was not followed, the promoters of an adverse line might delay until the last moment, so that parties who had a bona fide intention of proceeding with thair Bills might be delayed for three weeks,' wich, at'the commencement of the works on a line, would be equiva lent tO six months in the opening of a railway. He hoped, therefore, that his Noble Friend would give his attention to the subject. Mr. ENT WISTLE then withdrew his amendment, and the following rerolutions were agreed to 1. Resolved—That this House Will not receive any petition for any Private Bill, other than a Railway Bill on which the report by the Railway Board has not yet appeared in the Gazette, after Friday, the 28th day of this instant February. 2. Resolved—That no Private Bill, other than a Railway Bill on which the Report by the Railway Board has not yet appeared in the Gazette, be read the first time after Friday the 28th day of March next. 3. Resolved—That this House will not receive the Report of any Private Bill, other than a Railway Bill , on which the Report by the Railway Board has not yet appeared in the Gazette, after Fr id ay the 30th day of May next. 4. Resolved—That this House will not receive any petition for any Rail% ay Bill, of which the report by the Railway Board has not yet appeared ia the Gazette, later than the twenty-first day after the day of the pub lication of such report in the Gazette. 5. Resolved—That no Railway Bill, of which the re port by the Railway Board has not yet appeared in the Gautte, shall be read the first time later than the twenty• eighth day after the day of the reception by this House of the petition for such Railway Bill. 6. Resolved, That this House will not receive the report of any railway Bill, of which the report by the Railway Board has not yet appeared in the Gazette, later than the eighty-fourth day from the day of the reception by this House of the petition for such Railway Bill. And, that the said resolutions be printed. The House then adjourned at six o'clock.
