The following recent case is submitted to the Public : To Mr. Hallow, Chemist, 2, High-street, Islington. Sfst,—l have great pleasure in giving my humble testimony to the efficacy of Mrs. Johnson's American Soothing Syrup—expo. rience has taught me its value—as I have been the mother of 13 children, and have used the Syrup with 11 successfully. Two of them had fits, and must have died but for the blessing of the above Syrup. Having heard that there is a spurious article called" Soothing Syrup," I am particularly anxious to caution parents from purchasing it, as I have never known any but Mrs. Johnson's that has been used with success. I shall be happy to state the same to any lady who may wish to call on me. I am, Sir, your bumble servant, Jan. 25, 1832. ELIZA DUTHY. 13, White Lion.street, Pentonrille.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH 2. Clayton's Divorce Bill engaged their Lordships' atten tion till a few minutes after Five o'clmk, when the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack. Mr. MILLS and others froth the Commons brought up two private Bills. Viscount STRANGFORD presented a petition from Yeovil against the importation of foreign gloves. The Noble Lord postponed his motion for a Select Committee on the glove trade, from Tuesday next till Thursday. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that on Monday next he would put some questions to the Noble Earl (Grey) opposite, relative to the conduct of Lord Ponsonby while on an embassy in Belgium. On the motion of the Earl of Wlcxtow, the Irish Banking Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Tuesday, when the Noble Earl stated he would propose some important alterations. Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition front Maid stone, praying for the limitation of the working hours of children in factories. THE LORD CHANCELLOR OF IRELAND. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—My Lords, I was not in the House when the Lord Chancellor of Ireland moved for returns of the emoluments of his Secretary, and of those of two Noble and Learned Lords who preceded him in that distinguished situation. I did not hear the observations with which I suppose he accompanied that motion, but I presume the Noble and Learned Lord origi nated it with a view of giving him the opportunity to purge himself from the imputations which are laid at his door relative to the large emoluments he derives from his position, both for himself and the various members of his family.—(Hear.) My Lords, I entertain no personal hos tilities to the Noble and Learned Lord, and I put the ques tions lam about to do in a spirit of candour and of fair ness ; but as I was told in a former Session, when I spoke of the large amount of the Lord Chancellor's emoluments, that I was mistaken, I wish now to state that my assertions are confirmed by several newspaper publications in Ireland ; and I presume that those statements are true ; for if they were not, surely the Noble and Learned Lord would have, ere this, attacked the Editors of those Papers for disseminat ing such false and scandalous libels.—(Hear.) I have heard of nothing of the kind, and I hope there is no foundation for the statement, that the Noble Lord and his family possess 22 places, the annual salaries of which amount to 36,0001. ( Hear.) I think, as the Noble and Learned Lord farms part of an Administration which gives out that it is so desi rous to promote economy and to diminish the burdens of the people, that he might, for his credit and that of the Govern ment with which be is connected, have taken some pains to show that those charges are ill• founded, or be might at least have moved, in addition to the return of his Secre tary's salary, for a return of the offices and incomes derived by the Plunkett family under him.—(Hear.) Matters of so grave a nature should not he allowed to remain uncon tradicted in the public newspapers ; and it is proper, if the Noble and Learned Lord does not think it prudent to pro secute the Papers for libel—as I must take for granted that those charges are scandalous and false—that we should get information here to satisfy your Lordships and the country on the subject. —( Hear.) My Lords, I will fairly tell the Noble and Learned Lord that I do not approve of his con duct in Ireland, and I am inclined to agree in what Mr. O'Connell has said, " that there was not a more pernicious legislator, for Ireland, or more venal jjthe word was not heardl than Lord Plunkett."—(Hear.) With regard to the latter charge I know nothing; but so far as to his being a pernicious Legislator, I believe there never was a person whose counsels were more likely to reduce his country to a lower state. lam sorry to observe the nature of the ad vice which tbe Noble and Learned Lord gives to his Ma jesty ; and I regret to find him, on a late occasion, sug gesting answers on the part of the Crown which must be prejudicial to the public good. I regret to find him, in another instance, calling the 2.50,000 subscribers to a peti tion to your Lordships, a senseless body.—(Hear.) In deed I am of opinion that the policy pursued by the Noble and Learned Lord in Ireland is only calculated to sow dis sension. The Earl of RADNOR—I beg leave to speak to order, and 1 ask the Noble Marquis if he intends to conclude with a motion ?—(Cries of " Hear, bear.") The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—I am going to present a petition.—(Hear.) My Lords, I repeat that the conduct of the Noble and Learned Lord is likely to lead to the most fatal consequences in Ireland. I do not speak in my own regard, though he and the Administration of which he is a part have endeavoured, as far as in their power lay, to deprive me of the affections of the people with whom I am by natural ties and situation connected. I can, however, tell the Noble and Learned Lord that be has failed in that respect, and that I still preserve the af fections of my friends in Ireland, and the representations of their feelings and opinions are on all occasions transmitted to we. I am, my Lords, entitled to speak with authority on the subject, and I tell your Lordships, in the presence of the Noble and Learned ,Lord, that the conduct of his Majesty's Government in Ireland is fast carrying that country to destruction..—(Hear, bear.) I repeat that I had not the opportunity of hearing the Noble and Learned Lord when he moved for the returns, and I now a .. 4 him whether he will add to his notice the returns I spealtof ?, or if he does not 1 will submit a motion myself fot the purpose. I have now, my Lords, to present a petition on another subject.—(Loud laughing in every part of the House, with cries of " hear, hear," from the Ministerial benches.) That laugh and thoso cries of " hear" are not very creditable to thoso who indulge in them.—(Hear.) I have ventured to ask a question—l rose mainly for that purpose, and I cannot conceive that a jeer or a taunt, or a cry of " hear," is an answer, and I will trouble any Noble Lord to find me a better reply.—(The Noble Mar quis then sat down without presenting a petition or giving any explanation about it.) Several Noble Lords upon the Ministerial side here rose, amongst whom was Earl RAnNOR, who was generally called for. He said he again spoke to order. The Noble Marquis had said when before called to order, that he was about to present a petition, and so had been allowed to go on with a serious charge against the Noble and Learned Lord ; now that he had finished that, he de clined to present the petition, but by the rules of the House that could not be done—he must present it. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again rose, and declined at present to present the petition. Several Noble Lords again rose at once. Lord PLUNKETT said he spoke to order. He called upon the Noble Marquis to present the petition, as he was bound to do by the rules of the House. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY again declined to present the petition. Amidst great confusion Lord PLUNKETT said he would take the liberty of proposing a resolution to their Lord ships upon the subject. He would move that the Noble Lord he called upon to present his petition, or be declared out of order. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said the Noble Marquis had said, at the time when he was called to order, that he intended to present a petition before he sat down; therefore he should have done so; but there was one case in which it was the practice of the House to allow Noble Lords to change their opinions almost in a moment —that was, when the House came to a vote.—(Hear.) Noble Lords were allowed to hand in, first a prtay on one side, and almost in a moment after, hand in one for the other side, which might be called a change of the Noble Lord's opinion ; so it might be with the Noble Marquis, who might (as regarded the presentation of the petition) have changed his opinion since he made the promise. If it was therefore intended by the resolution to pass a vote of censure upon the Noble Mar quis, he would decidedly object to it. Lord PLUNKETT, Earl GREY4and the Earl of RADNon, on their legs together. The Earl of RADNOR—My Lords, it is evident that the Noble Baron— Lord ELLENBOROUGH—I rise to order.—(Hear.) The Noble Earl who has just risen to call me to order is evidently about to speak to the question, and not to the point of order.—( Hear, hear.) Lord TEYNHAM—My Lords, I ask the Lord Chan cellor of Ireland to write down his resolution. The Earl of RADNOR—I rose to answer the observa tions of the Noble Baron. Lord ELLENBOROUGH—It is contrary to our prac tice, and it would be contrary to justice, to hear the Noble Earl again before the Nuble Marquis at the table be heard; we should hear the Noble Marquis. Several of their Lordships having risen, The LORD CHANCELLOR—(Ieaving the Wool sack)—Will your Lordships allow me for a moment ? I am told it is not proper that the Speaker of this House should interfere in the order of your proceedings, and what I offer is only in the shape of a suggestion. The conse quence of the Speaker's want of authority is, that I have seen in the course of the last Session, as well as in this, more breaches of order, and more irregularity, than I ever witnessed in aoy House of Parliament, or, perhaps, in any public assembly whatsoever.—(Hear.) That arises from the constitution of the House, and it may be wise that it is so; but your Lordships are all aware that, from time to time, it is productive of the greatest inconvenience.— (Hear.) I say this, my Lords, to excuse myself for pre suming to interfere on this occasion, and I beg of you to think I only do so as any other Member of the House.— (Hear.) But I beg leave to tell every Noble Lord who rises, till this point be settled, whether he rises to order or not, that he is out of order, because there is no question before the House.—(Hear, hear.) I got up to put the question on the resolution of the Noble and Learned Lord, and I believe the regular course now is that I should put it to the House in the usual manner, unless my Noble and , Learned Friend should think proper to withdraw it. Lord PLUNKETT having submitted a resolution to the following effect:—" That Earl Vane (the Marquis of Lon donderry) having risen in his place to speak without any question being before the House, and being called to order, said he had to present a petition, but not having presented it, and having refused to make any motion, or to present the petition, bas been guilty of a breach of the orders of this House ;" Lord ELLENBOROUGH—I rise to order.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," " Order, order.") The resolution, as put by the Noble and Learned Lord, refers to words alleged to have been spoken, and to a statement made by the Noble Marquis at the table ; if they were not taken down at the time, it will be quite irregular to submit any motion re specting them.—( Hear.) Earl GREY—If there be any thing in the observations of the Noble Baron, he must see that he should not inter rupt the order of the proceedings, as the regular course is before any observations are made on the resolution, that it should be put from the Woolsack.—( Hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR having read the resolution, Lord PLUNKETT—My Lords, I rise with your per mission to say a few words in reply to one of the most unjust and most unwarrantable attacks that have ever been made on any individual within these walls.—(Hear.) The Noble Marquis began his observations with a declaration, which I give credit to, as I am bound to believe any state ment made by the Noble Lord, that he had no personal hostility to me ; but I leave it to you, my Lords, to say, whether his conduct is consistent with that disci timer of personal hostility.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis, under the pretence of asking me a question, has not thought it unbecoming him to go into a recital of all the falsehoods which Newspapers have collected with regard to me or my family.—(Hear, hear.) He has made himself the organ of all the calumnies which have been uttered against me, and without the slightest pretence whatever has made an attack as bitter, as severe, and as unwar ranted, as the slender abilities of the Noble Lord will allow him to do.—(Cheers and laughing.) The Noble Lord complained that he was interrupted and jeered at; he also complained that I cried " Hear."—(Hear, hear, from the Marquis of Londonderry.) Why, my Lords, though the Noble Lord complains of me, he cries " Hear" hiu.self—(Laughing)—but it is not always we can correct the faults in ourselves which we impute to others.—(Hear. ) Ile exclaims against me, but I tell the Noble Lord that I never uttered any screaming " Hear, bear," nor have I gone beyond the limits of human exclamation, or in dulged in sounds calculated to rend the ears, either within or without these doors.—(Hear, hear, hear, and laugh ing.) The Noble Marquis has not attempted to defend himself ; but what he could not do has been done for him by the Noble Baron on the third bench, and I congratu late him on the ingenious theory by which the Noble Baron justifies hie refusing to present the petition. It certainly is quite consistent with the whole proceeding, that we are to be told that the Noble Marquis has a right to argue himself out of his own opinion.—(Hear, hear.) My Lords, we all have been weak enough to believe that the art and design of oratory were to convince others that they were wrong, but it is the first time I have heard that any individual is to persuade himself out of his own opi nion. —(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis is most suc cessful in that practice, and I have no doub', if it becomes the established rule, that no one will have a more emi nent success.—(Hear, hear.) He has a talent for con vincing, and I know no one more likely than the Noble Lord —many are the examples he has given of it—to per suade his friends and foes, as well as he does himself, how much he is in error.—(Laughing.) Truly, his experi ments have never failed, and we are all witnesses how often what he has said has been disclaimed by those who have the misfortune to be his friends.—(Hear, and laughing.) How often have your Lordships seen him stand alone; and, I have no doubt, when next he tries his rhetoric or his logic on them, that he will be as successful as the Noble Baron says in his defence of him that he has been on him self.—(Loud laughing.) 1 will now, my Lords, say a few words on the subject of the charges brought by the Noble Lord, not for the purpose of pleas ing the ,No . ble Marquis—f or t o hi m I w ill g ive no satisfaction L-but for the purpose of satisfying you as to their injustice. I repeat, I don't seek to give any satis faction to the Noble Lord ;, but I tell your Lordships that, in consequence of calumnies haring been uttered against me with regard to the appointment of my Secretary, and seeing that a return of his fees had been moved for in the other House, I thought it right to more for similar papers, iu order to meet any calumnies which might be used against me here—( Hear, hear)—and I warn any Noble Lord who rn,y appear as my calumniator here, that I will, God willing, meet, confront, and oppose him.— (Cheers.) I moved resolutions similar to those passed in the other House, extending the returns to the time of the two Noble and Learned Personages who preceded me in office. The Noble Lord has, however, thought proper to a.tsck me, and then to justify his charge on the authority of a newspaper statement--which, I protest, I never read— and he says that I and my family receive 36,0001. a year. —(Hear, hear.) My Lords, this is a gross and extra vagant falsehood—(Hear, hear)—of course uttered by the calumniator in the newspaper.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis then demands to know if I have instituted proceedings against these papers, or if an investigation has been made as to the truth or falsehood of their asser tions.—(Hear.) Will the Noble Lord allow me to ask him if he instituted a public inquiry into the statements which appeared in the newspapers with regard to the emoluments Ite has received?—(Cries of Hear, hear.") Have we been asked to institute such an inquiry, or have your Lordships refused it ?—(Hear, hear.) As the Noble Marquis has spent a long public life abroad and at home, I ask him if he has ever happened to see any ac count of the emoluments of the Stewart family ?—(Hear, • 1 ..ea1.) So fas, as the ehargessia the newspaper regard me, I need only say that they are founded in absolute false hood—(Hear, hear)—and, with respect to my giving an explanation, I ask you, my Lords, is it consistent with the usage of Parliament or of society that I should do so? —(Hear, hear.) And I leave it to the honourable and gentlemanly feelings of the House, whether it is proper that I should be called on to reply to statements made in a newspaper, traducing me and my family.—(Cheers.) My Lords, I never have solicited favours.—(Hear.) 1 never put myself into the painful situation of being refused— (Hear)—and I certainly never have made an application which compelled any Noble Earl connected with Govern ment to raise his hands and exclaim, " this is too bad !" (Cheers and laughter.) The Noble Lord saes he does not mean hosti,ity to me.—(Hear.) I do not mean hostility to him.----(Hear.) But I give him fair warning, if he chooses to bring these charges and calumnies here, I will not enter into a course of personal invective, but I will take care the Noble Marquis shall not be able to put down a balance, either of hard words or of invective, to the credit side of his account with me.—(Cheers and laugh ing.) The Noble Lord has asked me whether I have been the person to give advice to the King. lamat a lose to know what he means, and can only express my sur prise at one possessing so much loyalty as the Noble Lord does,introducing the name of the King into a conversation like this.—(Hear.) It is not my province to give advice to his Majesty on this or any other subject. That matter, therefore, ends there ; but then the Noble Lord says that I have attempted to deprive him of the confidence of a great portion of society in Ireland with whom lie is directly con nected. What, my Lords have Ito do with the Noble 'Lord, or the confidence of his friends?—(Hear, hear.) I neither know nor care any thing on the subject—(Hear) and I do not waste a moment of my existence in thinking of the Noble Lord.—(Hear, and laughing.) He and his affairs are a matter of perfect indifference to me.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the members of my family, lam ready to give an account of them, with any reasonable limits of inquiry. I have a family of six sons, and I en deavour—(naturally enough, your Lordships will say)—to provide for them. One of them is in his natural place in society, and is no burden to the State, and the others are engaged in honourable professions, to which, I trust, they reflect no discredit.—(Hear, hear.); I am not giving this explanation for the satisfaction of the Noble Marquis, and I offer it to your Lordships as a cursory explanation of the weakness of the charges which hare been brought against me.—(Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—My Lords, I am desirous to explain to you that I was prevented presenting the petition which I meant to lay on the table solely by th e jeees and taunts which were directed against me when said a was about to present a petition on a different sub ject from that on which I spoke, sad I was determined to I show that I would not allow any Noble Lnrd to scoff and taunt me.—(Hear, hear.) If it be your pleasuiv, my Lords, I will now present it to the House.—(Hear.) With ,respect to the course pursued by the Noble and I Learni.i Lord, I must say that, instead of answering my question, he has chosen to bring forward personalities in reply.—(Hear, hear.) He has evaded a statement of facts, but I must tell the Noble Lord that neither eloquence nor facetiousness can get the better of facts.—( Hear, hear.) I hold in my hand, I will now read, a document which has appeared in all the Journals of Ireland, and, as I said be fore, if it be untrue, the Noble Lord should have prosecuted the Papers for libel.—(Hear,lhear,) The statement has been generally circulated in Dublin. I think the Noble and Learned Lord should be disposed not to look upon it with so much indifference, and it may be worth his while to explain the charges brought against him.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord, however, does not choose to do so, and he prefers to calculate what I have received during ten years of diplomatic service to compare it with his own, and to draw a large balance against me.—(No, no.) Lord PLUNKETT—I did no such thing. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—I ask you, my Lords, if that is a fair way of meeting the charges ? Lord PLUNKETT—I repeat I did not do so.—(Hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—The Noble Lord then referred to words said to have been used by the late Earl of Liverpool, but that is rather a curious mode of defence, and I protest I cannot see how the turning on me can answer the charges which are brought against himself—(Hear, bear)—for money received by him and his family.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to that diplo matic pension which the Noble Lord refers to, I can only say it was never asked for myself, but for the profession to which I had the honour to belong. It was not for me to decide whether the Government was in a situation to give it or not, but I felt it to be my duty to advocate the claim, leaving myself the choice, if it were decided in my favour, to accept it or not.—(Hear, hear.) I defy the Noble and Learned Lord to prove that the course of my life has been avaricious. —(Hear.) I defy him to charge such a stain on my family, one member of which your Lordships are well acquainted with; and I challenge him to disprove this assertion, that if ever there was a Minister who drew less from the public purse than another, it was that distinguished relative to whom I allude.— (Hear, hear.) For myself, I can only say, as an Am bassador, I had but the same allowance as any other Am bassador, and with regard to the pension, I was bound to uphold the service. I therefore claimed it, and I think the decision zigainst me was unjust.—(Hear.) As the Noble Lord has provoked me to it, I will read what is stated of him, by which it will he seen whether or not the Members of the economical and retrenching Administra tion with which he is connected don't take care to feather their own nests.—(Hear, hear.) The first item is the Lord Chancellor of Ireland 10,0001. Lord PLUNKE TT—That is the first falsehood.— (Laughing, and cries of " Hear ! Order, order!") The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—I did not inter rupt the Noble and Learned Lord. I hope he will not interfere with me, and allow me to go on without this breach of order. Earl GREY—My Lords, I must interfere for the pur pose of saying one word.—(Hear, hear.) There is a re solution before the House respecting the breach of order which the Noble Marquis has committed, in the latitude of discussion which he assumes to himself, which must be disposed of.--(Hear, hear.) My Lords, I cannot con ceive on what principle it is that a Noble Lord comes down to the House with a newspaper statement of all the offices which another Noble Lord ansl his family are supposed to possess. I do not understand on what principle an expla nation can be demanded on that statement, and I don't think that the valuable time of the House should be occu pied at all with it.—(Hear, hear.) For instance, we have all beard of a certain publication called the " Black Book," and that every Member of this House has figured in it, with sums attached to their names, as of the public money received by them. If the present case be in order, all this may be brought before the House—(Hear, hear) —and I don't know how the Noble Marquis, or any Noble Lord who is named in that book, would like to see it brought down here, and be questioned as to its gross and extravagant falsehoods.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore, I 03 Y, the course of the Noble blarquis is most disorderly, and it ought not to be pursued. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY —What I complain of is, that no notice has been taken by the Noble and Learned Lord of scandalous libels, as I must conceive them to be ; and as I have been deprived of my station in the county, with which I asa connected, by the Adminis tration, of which the Noble Lord forms a part... Lord ELLENBOROUGH..—I rise to order. I feel the full force of what the Noble Earl said at the conclusion of his short address.—(Hear, hear.) I will not say one word about those matters urged by the Noble Marquis at the table, or by the Noble and Learned Lord opposite; only I apprehend that the sole object which the Noble Lord had in proposing his resolution was to give himself the opportunity of making a regular reply to the speech of the Noble Marquis.—(Hear, hear.) Your Lordships will recollect that the Noble Marquis has admitted that he declined presenting the petition under feelings of excite ment; that he had no wish to violate the orders of the [louse; and that he was ready to present it if such be your Lordships' pleasure.—(Hear.) Therefore, there is but one course to be pursued in common courtesy to the Noble Marquis, and the Noble and Learned Lord must, under the circumstances, withdraw his resolution.—( Hear.) We are not, nay Lords, in this House, very close observers of or der—(Hear, hear)—and I beg of your Lordships to recol lect that the same path has been followed on more than one occasion. Topics of a painful nature have been in troduced into this discussion, and much valuable time has already been consumed ; and, really, as I cannot see what good can be done by carrying the resolution, I hope the Noble and Learned Lord will think proper to withdraw it. Earl GREY—However unpleasant and painful this discussion is, I trust it will do good, and go some way to wards correcting the extreme irregularity which the House has lately been led into.—( Hear.) It will prevent the Noble Marquis from taking the extreme latitude which he has this evening assumed, by making statements under pretence of presenting a petition.—(Hear.) Before I proceed further, I now give notice to the Noble Marquis, who has given notice of bringing forward a question on Monday, that I will not answer any questions which d• not conclude with a 'notion on the subject of what the Noble Lord calls " the late extraordinary diplomatic ex hibition at Brussels."—(Hear, hear.) I tell the Noble Lord lie must put his motion in a regular shape, or be will have no answer from me.—(Cheers.) With respect to the motion before the House, I am of opinion, my Lords, that we should not proceed to any further severity. —(Hear.) It is true the Noble Marquis did make a speech, containing a violent attack on the Noble and Learned Lord, in which be read an extract from a libel, calling my Noble Friend venal and corrupt.—(Hear, hear.) He was brought to order by a Noble Earl, and then to vindicate himself, he said he was speaking in sup port of a petition ; but when he concluded his observa tions he declined to present it.—(Hear, hear.) I was at a loss to know—as no doubt your Lordships were— what kind of a petition it was on which such a speech could have been based.—(Hear, hear.) Its contents could not be guessed from the announcement of the Noble Marquis that it was on a totally different subject.—(Hear.) That declaration, of course produced a laugh at this side of the House; and the Noble Marquis, having made an attack on a Noble Lord, with a view, I suppose, of bringing himself still more in order, refused to present the petition.—(Hear.) How, then, do matters stand? The Noble Lord who was called to order pleads that he is about to make a motion, as a justification of the course he is pursuing, but at the moment of doing so he declines it.— (Hear.) The House under such circumstances, was called upon to mark its displeasure, and therefore I think the resolution of the Noble and Learned Lord well founded. —(Hear.) Still I am inclined not to press the matter with further severity; but before the Noble Lord with draws his motion—if be should be induced to do so—some sort of explanation or apology should be given for such a breach of the orders of the House.—(Cheers.) The Noble Baron opposite has suggested that course, but the Noble Marquis has not thought proper to avail himself of the hint, and he has gone on rather aggravating than lessening the offence.—(Hear, hear.) However, let the Noble Marquis at the table say as much as the Noble Baron has said for him, and I will, in common with your Lordships, try to induce my Noble Friend to withdraw his motion.—(Hear.) Unless something of the kind is done it is quite impossible, in my opinion, that the resolution should be withdrawn.—(Hear, hear.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY (speaking so low as to be only occasionally heard in the gallery) said if the Noble Earl thought his statement was irregular, every day during the Session produced instances of the same dis order; and he had heard, on many late occasions, Noble Lords come down to put questions with or without the presentation of petitions, to which no objection was made. .—(Hear.) He did not think it equal justice to him to pass those cases by without notice, and to press a charge of censure against him because his statements were not agreeable to one individual.—(Hear.) Neither did he think the language of the Noble Earl was of that nature which should induce him to follow his advice. He would therefore stand upon his innocence—feeling that he had done nothing worthy of the severity of the House. The Earl of ABERDEEN thought the Noble Earl opposite might have called the Noble Marquis to order in a tone rather different from that which he had adopted. He agreed with the Noble Earl as to the breach of order, and the inconvenience which must ensue if similar conduct were persisted in, but while he admitted these circumstances he must express his regret that the Noble Earl, by his tone, should hare aggravated the feelings of the Noble Marquis, and thereby prevented him from arriving at the course at which, before he was called to order, he had almost arrived ; namely, the presenting of the petition, and the apology which he would have found it his duty to make. He hoped the Noble and Learned Lord would withdraw his motion. The Noble Marquis was not the only Peer in that House guilty of breach of order. He did not think the breach in this instance of sufficient importance to war rant a vote of censure, and it was hardly just to enforce it after the opening of the speech of the Noble Marquis. Lord DOVER said there were two questions in which the Noble Marquis had implicated himself by the course he had pursued. He had not only been guilty of a breach of the order of the House, but had made use of language grossly insulting to his Noble and Learned Friend. He, therefore, could not look upon his offence in the light in which it had been viewed by the Noble Lord who had just sat down. Lord WHARNCLI FFEsaid the question was not whether there had been a breach of order, but whether, under all the circumstances of the case, their Lordships would act properly in following up the motion made by the Noble and Learned Lord. He bad no doubt that the Noble Marquis was swam that he had transgressed the rules of the House, that he had committed this breach inadvertently, and that he was ready to state so to the House. The present discussion, however, only showed the necessity of having some Peer to keep order. In that House they were all equal, and the consequence was that breaches of order were con stantly committed. The whole transaction was most it regular, and he had no doubt that, as the Nohle Marquis admitted his error, the Noble and Learned Lord would withdraw his motion. Earl GREY said he could not entirely concur with the Noble Baron in his opinion of the offence committed. He had no wish, however, to press the motion, but some apo logy would be necessary, in order to justify his Noble and Learned Friend in withdrawing his motion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said that breaches of order were frequently committed in that House ; others had repeatedly offended as well as himself. He felt, how ever, that he had erred in this instanee.—(Hear, hear.) Earl GREY, in that case, had no hesitation in advising his Noble and Learned Friend to withdraw his motion. Lord PLUNKETT then withdrew the motion, and the House adjourned at H df-past Six. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 2. Mr. CHAYTOR brought in two Bills for constructing wet docks at Hartlepool, in the county of Durham, and also for improving the town and harbour of Hartlepool; which were read a first time. Mr. GORDON rose to present three petitions from parishes in Ireland against the system of education proposed by hie Majesty's Government. In the opposition to that mea sure he stated there was a greater unanimity of feeling in Ireland than there had been upon any subject connected with the Church, as a proof of which he would state that no sooner was the letter of the Right Hon. Gentleman op posite (Mr. Stanley) to the Duke of Leinster made known, than the friends of scriptural education in stantly held meetings in all parts of Ireland to record their hostility to it. In Dublin, a meeting had been held which he might confidently say represented the feeling of the whole country. The Dean and Chapter o I Dublin lost no time in recording their opinions, which were addressed to the Archbishop of Dublin, and the clergy of the diocese met upon the same subject. The Protestants of Ireland were in fact unanimous in their opposition to it. In E❑gland also many meetings had been held upon the subject, and he did not doubt that in a short time numerous petitions would be presented from Scotland. Mr. STANLEY deprecated a discussion upon such a sob 1210 , l est, upon upon the presentation of pi Lions. He would not deny that many very respectab `p q* entertained strong objections to the plan prop &iiislVlajesty's Govern ment 4li* ent ; at the same time it i belief that a Oat. portion of that f e eling was " e# ,:pn erroneous itiß pression of the object s whi c h y:r)Governrnettttn4 cpetition f ors in view. A Nobl e F r i en d o f hie, time upon the same subject fro lipitglif.„9lWls ter, and upon the presentation of that petition hinioida show that the object of his Majesty's Government was to encou rage, a 4 far as possible, the use of the Bible in scriptural -education—to give the greatest possible religious instruc tion to Protestants which they were wiling to receive, arid to Catholics which they were willing to receive. Mr. LEADER advocated the plan adopted by his Ma jesty's Government, and said that various attempts were made in England, as well as in Ireland, to raise a clamour against that plan. He implored the British public to sus pend their judgment until an opportunity offrred itself to have the subject fairly discntssed. Sir J. NEWPORT deprecated further discussion in the present stage of the question. Sir R. BATESON wished to know when the Noble Lord opposite (Acheson) intended to present the petition on this subject which he had in his possession. Lord ACHESON observed that he would present it as early as he possibly could. Mr. STANLEY suegeated the propriety of not present ing that petition till the Recorder of Dublin was present. Mr. LEFROY observed, that he thought there was but very little prospect of the return of th,,t Learned Gentle man to town for some time, in consequence of the ill health of a member of his family ; be thought, however, it would be attended with great convenience if Hon. Mem bers would bring forward all petitions on this subject in a body. Mr. SHEIL, though he admitted that the opinion of the Recorder might he extremely important on this subject, did not see the necessity of postponing the presentation of the petition on account of his absence. After a few words from Mr. WYSE and Mr. FL GaAT TAN, the petition was brought op and ordered to lie oa the table. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE presented a similar petition from the Elders of the Scotch Church of the city of Aberdeen. Mr. J. CAMPBELL presented a petition from certain manufacturers in London, in favour of t',e Cotton Factories Regulation Bill. The Hoa. Member also presented peti tions from two individuals in favour of the Arbitration Mr. WALKER presented a petition from a 'wish in Ireland against the tithe system. Mr. LAMBERT supported the prayer of the pet;tion. Mr LEFROY rove, and at som; length entered into a defence of Dr. Newland, atainst certain charges made against him on a former day relative to his having sued some of his parishioners for tithes. Mr. WALKER, is reply, repeated the charges which he had before made. After a few words from Mr. GRATTAN and Mr. BLACKNET, Mr. STANLEY gave notice, that on Thursday he would call the attention of the House to the report of the Select Committee upon the tithe question. He therefore hoped that the Hon. Member for Waterford would con►ent to postpone his motion, which stood for that day. Sir J. NEWPORT was understood to assent to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. SLANEY adverted to an Act which bad passed last session for the regulation of benefit societies, and wished to know whether it was int •nded to extend the time for Members to enrol themselves under that Act. He had understood that the Hon. Member for Boston in tended to bring in a Bill to extend the time of enrolment, and he wished to know whether that was still his intention? He also wished to ask the Right Ho nourable Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, whether he would object to a Committee to consider the provisions of the Acts, with a view, if neces sary, to their alteration. Great inconveniences had arisen, though chiefly, he believed, from misconception, and it was desirable that an opportunity should be *forded to cor rect the mistake. Mr. WILKES said he bad intended to give notice that on the 13th of March he would more for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the General Friendly Society Act, and to extend the period of enrolment for two years, which Bill, he believed, would meet with the concurrence of the House. It would be desirable to appoint el Com mittee, either this Session or the next, to take jsto consi deration the objections to the present Bill. , o t Mr. PORTMAN said that great alars , ciN dy pre vailed among the friendly societies, whicif & ros, chiefly from misconception, and sure he was that most of the objections to the Bill had no foundation in fact. Ile was anxious that a period of tiro years should Fee given, which in his opinion, would have tie effect of dispelling all doubt and alarm on the subject. Mr. LAMB approved of tke Bill proposed to be brought in by the Hon. Member (Mr. Wilkes), and was confident that if two years were given, such explanations would take place as would clear up all doubts. Sir RICHARD V YVYAN deprecated such discussions upon the presentation of retitions, and suggested that some arrangement should be made either to defer petitions to the close of the business, or to receive them all before motions came on, or that those not disposed of in the usual time, should be placed first on the list for the following day. He begged to call the Noble Lord's (Althorp) attention to this subject, for it was pre posterous that in a regular debate the Speaker should only he allowed to address the House once, and that on the presentation of a petition, Members took the opportunity of speaking several times. In the present instance, a petition respecting tithes in Ireland had been presented, and a discussion raised upon it, and there were also introduced discussions respecting Dr. Newland and the Friendly Society Act. Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that he thought the suggestions of the Right Hon. Baronet were well worthy the consideration of the House, for the present mode of presenting petitions was attended with great in convenience. Mr. HUNT considered the difficulty would be obviated by appropriating one day in a week to the presentation of petitions. Mr. LITTLETON thought, that if the Speaker's list was allowed to be gone on with till seven o'clock, every difficulty would be obviated. Sir R. PEEL said, that in his view the only way to get rid of the difficulty would be by compelling Members in presenting petitions only to state the object of them, and not allow them to enter into irrelevant discussions. Alderman WAITHMAN thought that the privilege Members had of presenting petitions had been shamefully abused. Sir R. VYVYAN proposed, that instead of closing the presentations of petitions at five o'clock, they should be allowed to be presented till six. Mr. BRISCOE objected to the adoption of such a course until the Reform Bill bad passed. Lord ALTHORP, in moving th• order of the day, made a few observations, which were inaudible in the gallery. BOROUGH OF HELSTON. Mr. CROKER rose for the purpose of presenting two petitions respecting the case of the borough of Ilehton, in Cornwall, which a Tote of the I-lottec had placed in sche dule B. One of the petitions was signed by the mayor, aldermen, freemen, and other inhabitants of the borough, and the other by the local, yeomanry corps. The former document set forth that the inhabitants of the town were no way benefitted by the remission of the horse duty on account of yeomanry service, and therefore expressed their wish to pay the full rate of taxes, which, amounting to 9511., would remove them from under the operation of the disfranchising clause. The petition of the yeomanry, which was signed by all the members of the corps in the town, when the information of the decision of the House arrived, with the exception of one, declared their afflic tion and surprise that they should have been the uncon scious cause of so grievous a punishment as that inflicted on their fellow citizens. The case appeared to him one of singular hardship and injustice. In December, 1830, a period of great disquiet, the Government had called this yeomanry corps into active service, which exempted them from the payment of the tax. The Reform Bill was brought forward in April, 1831, so that the yeomanry corps being, at an occasion of emergency, called upon duty for three months, in consequence forfeited the fran chise of themselves and their children.—(Hear.) He submitted to the Noble Lord opposite whether it were equitable to put such a construction as this upon the Act. The Right Hon. Gentleman moved that the petitions be brought up. Lord ALTHORP said that it was impossible is recant l- imtoeon,ceoothtiel thediscussionrep ort oo thef the Committee case o was brought up. Mr. J. CAMPBELL said that Helston should be con sidered in the same situation as if t h e tax had been reall paid to the Government and repa id to the y eomanr y Mr. BRISCOE called the a ttention of the House t o a f o n b o t r h o e u gßeform of B 11e paragraph, which had appeared i n a Mornin g P aper , re specting the division on the question, that Helston should stand part of s cbedule B. The paragraph was attac h e d to lists of the majority and 'minority, and contained then wor d s The following Members voted against Mini sters Jest night, on a suggestion of Sir Chad*. jiurrell an d Mr. Miscue, the Member for Surrey, that the oinuoton of the tax on the yeomanry cavalry, in the amount of as
