Sir JOHN CVAVIPit.i. moved Ilie leddtid reatlingaftb+Ebill, which, after a short discussion, was read a second time and re ferred to a committee. THE NEWSPAPERS' REGULATION BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that, according to a sugges tion which had been thrown out, it was provided that in all actions brought by informers under the statute, to meet which, the present bill was introduced, they shonld be entitled, not to costs, as taxed in the usual man n er , but merelytocosts'actually out of pocket.' (Hear.) Sir Jolla Campbell and Mr. O'Connell expressed their great satisfaction with those provisions. The several clauses of the bill were agreed to. SABBATH OBSERVANCE BILL. Mr. POULTER moved for leave to bring in a bill for the better observance of the Lord's Day. He said that its provisions should be confined to the prevention of trading, without con templating in the remotest degree the restriction 'of proper re, creation, &c., of any of his majesty's subjects: Mr- Hawes inquired whether the bill was intended merely to put down Sunday trading, or to revive with additional aggrava tion the whole of the odious bill of Charles H ? . Mr. PoUUTER replied that it was intended to apply to Sun day trading, without reference to any other subject whatever. Leave given to bring iu the bill. EXPENSES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. HUME rose pursuant to notice to call the attention of the house to the report of the select committee of last session on election expenses. The committee recommended that electors should be allowed to vote at the polling place nearest their pri vate residences, which he (Mr. flume) approved of, and also that elections should by increased facilities be terminated in I one instead of two days. After a short discussion leave was given to bring in the bill. BANKRUPT SEQUESTRATION (SCOTLAND.) The LORD ADVOCATE moved for leave to bring in a bill regu lating the sequestration of bankrupts' estates in Scotland. „Leave given. BRIBERY, CORRUPTION, AND INTIMIDATION AT ELECTIONS. Sir GEORGE GREY moved for a committee on this subject. 'The grounds on which he proposed to found his measure were ' the well known disposition to receive .bribes which existed many boroughs. With respect to intimidation, there were no statutes atsplving a punishment except iu eases of . actual riot. It ought, la the opinion of the learned baronet, to be made equally criminal to have recourse to threats and menaces to prevent the conscientious exercise of the elective franchise. -Official intimidation also prevailed to a great extent, which should be inquired into. Another of its objects would be to provide a remedy for the intimidation practised by pitsons of .7 . influence over those who derived their daily _sustenance from them, and who occupied their tenements. He wished to see in- something done to check these evils before recourse was had to the ballot .' If the efforts of the committee should prove ineffec tual in their attempt to discover some remedy for these defects, the advocates of the ballot would be considerably strengtheneu in that house and io the country. Sir EDWARD CODDRINGTON most cordially seconded the motion of his hon. colleague. Several members addressed the house on this subject. Afteia few words from Sir G. Grey in reply, the motion was carried, and a select committee was appointed. The names of the committee were read over, and there being only six Irish members appointed on it, Mr. RuTuvEN propoied to add the name of Mr. O'Connell to the committee. Mr. O'CONNELL said that he had not time to attend it. Sir G. GREY said that it was not from any disrespect to the - hon. and learned member for Dublin that he had not placed him on the committee, which he had endeavoured to constitute im-. partially from members 'on both sides of the house. Ile had, declined racing the bon. and learned gentleman on the con%. mittee to ,consequence of the charges which had been presented against hon. . Mr. O'CONNELL.—What charges ? Of intimidation ? There is no such charge in any one of the three petitions which have been presented to this house. Sir G. GREY replied that there were certain charges against the hon. and learned gentleman, of which he ktiew nothing himself except what had been stated through public channels. Mr. O'CoNNELL—What channels? • Sir G. GREY replied, the newspapers. Mr. H. LI unitss.—Can any one have failed to read of death's beads and cross-bones in the newspapers? (Hear, hear.) Mr. O'C O NNE L L—(interrupting him with s li me warmth)— I've, beacd a sood deal of calves' heads and jaw -bones in this hotise. (Nruch laughter, amid which Mr. Hughei resumed his seat.), . A.desultoryionversation then ensued upon the subject, which concluded in Mr. Itiithiren's withdrawing his motion, in conse quence of Mt. O'Connell persisting in - de c l a ring that he had not time to attend on this committee. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Before the Speaker called on the hon. -member to proceed whose motion stood neit'on the list, Mr. H okra rose, and pointing to the clock, which showed that midnight had passed more than three-quarters of an hour, moved that the houSe do now adjourn. Sir J. CAMPIIL:LL hoped that, as the Sense of the house had been so recently taken on this subject, the hon. member would not persist in this motion. Reference had been made to the practice or America; but hon. gentlemen ought to recollect that - nine-tentlis of the business which they transacted in that'house was not transacted in America in Congress, but in the different assemblies of the states. If the bon. member for Middlesex were a. member of Congress, he might occupy the floor for ten days at a time without any impediment to public business. Mr. C I HuLLe u concurred in the observations of the hon. and learned member for Edinburgh, and hoped that the majority of the house would resist the motion of his hon. friend the member for Middlesex. , A conversation on the propriety of adjourning at this hour then took place between Mr. C. Fergusson, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. A. Johnstone, and Mr. Sheil, which terminated in Mr. Hume's tteclaring that he did not wish to stop official business of mere form, but that he did wish to prevent any new matter of importance , —such as his hon. and learned friend's motion on the Jaw of libel—from being introduced at s time of night when neither the house nor the country could be made acquainted with it in a satisfactory manner. (Hear.) On the :understanding that no other business, except of mere form, should be transacted— M.r.'O'CoN six r. postponed to another day his notice of mo tion for leave to bring in a bill to amend the law Of libel. • Some returns were then brought up by Mr. diadstOne and Sir T. F'reeinautle from the Colonial Department and from the Treasury, after which the house adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. -The Duke of GORDON presented petitions, praying . for fur ther accommodation in the churches of Scotland, from parishes in Renfrewshire, Banffshire, and Dumfriesshire. On the motion of Lord Ellenboroogh, the bill for indemni fying the Governor-general and certain other authorities in In dia, for a non-compliance with some technical forms required by the charter act of last year, 'yas read. a second time. The Chester Criminals Execution Bill went through a com mittee,.and was reported without amendment. Adjourned. HOUSE OF . COMMONS, :I:HulitsnA Y • The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock. - The SPEAKER acquainted the house, that the sureties in the case of the petition of Thomas Walker and others, against the return of the sitting members for the city of Dublin, had failed to enter into the usual recognisances. The order for taking the said petition into consideration, whichstood . for the 19;h instant, Was arcoidingly discharged. On the motion of Mr. W. Patten,' the Grand Junction Rail way Bill was read a second time, 'and ordered to be committed. TDB S MITHFIELD MAIcKET BILL. This bill was, on the second reading, lost by 'a majority against it of 115. ELt,CTION Or.rtrioNs. The SPEAKER . said that he had to call the attention of the house to a letter he had received from Mr. Wallace, enclosing a petition against the return of the members for Carlow county. In that letter Mr. Wallace stated that he had presented the petition at the Crown-office, in Dublin, and that they declined to receive it there unless it was accompanied by a copy. lie took it away to have it copied, anti on attending again the same day he found that the office hours had elapsed, and that the of fice was closed. lie had therefore enclosed the petition to him (the Speaker.) The right hon. gentleman said that under such circumstances lie would call the attention of the house to or der 162. The Clerk then read the order, which directed that election , petitions should be presented within fourteen days after the meeting of parliament, or lodged with the clerk of the crown in Ireland, who was to preserve a copy of it, and send the ori .. ginal to the Speaker. Smai(aftrseed,thetalbs house would perceive that it was • directed by the order that the a copy of the petition should be • - made •out in the Crown-office. (Hear.) In this case, how ' ever, Mr. Wallace stated that the officer in the Crown-office refuted to receive the petition unless accompanied by a copy. How far the facts bore out the statement he (the Speaker) of course could not say. but it was his duty to call the attention of the house to the circumstance. Mr. S. CaawpOtto presented a petithin,• praying for the ex tinction of tithes and the reyium donym. PROPOSED LIMITATION OF THE suPeur..s. Mr. HUME rose and said—The right hon. baronet opposite put a question to me yesterday, relative to the motion of which I gave notice, to limit to three months the votes in committee • of supply, and I gave him a conditional answer to his inquiry whether it was intended• to bring on the motion to-morrow. 1 ' am now able to state to the right hon. baronet, that haiiing consulted with those upon this side of the house who I thought would support that motion, I regret to find' that they do not concur with me in considering the question sefficiently decisive of Our want of confidence in the present administration, anti I have therefore been in iced, with regret, to postpone the mo tion of which 1 gaie'uotice respecting the supplies (tritimphant cheering from the .ministerial • side of the house), but I du to with a view to proposing a subsequent motion, tending to show decisively that the house .has, no confidence in his majesty's 'ministers.

That conditional answer Was, that the motion would be certainly brought on ( loud cheering), e ith er by himself or some other hon. member. ("dear, hear," cries tot" Order," and soine confusion, occasioned by members rushing into the house, in the midst of which tin s lion. memb er , said to be Mr. - Barron, rose and said--" 1 do not know • what the question is ; there is tin question before the honie.") ' The right lion, baronet resumed.-1 ask the hon. member fur' Mid dlesex• a qucstiiin; the question is, whether that other hon. aneinber, who was to have taken the hen. gentler:ewes place to- Morrow, has also abandoned his intention of proposing to limit the supp!ies (cheers awl laughter from the ministerial side of the house) and whether the more decisive motion of want of confidence in his majesty's ministers, of which the hon. gentle man talks, is to be brought forward to-morrow ? Mr. HE:Ms.—I answer, that as far as I am concerned, it will not be brought forward to-morrow. . (Cheers from the ministe rihl side.) ADMISSION OF LADIES. Mr. G.

Sir 13 . IlaaniNGEsaidThaii - iieCOtld not grant the papers to which the motion referred, because, as the government had determined to prosecute the part res concerned in the transaction, the crown solicitor had taken the papers with him to the Armagh assizes. Under these circumstances, the hon. member would perceive that he could not consent to the motion,. the wore par ticularly as a judicial proceeding was pending. Motion with drawn. MC. DOBBIN then moved for some other papers connected with the Armagh transactions, which were ordered. Colonel LEITH H AY, in moving for a copy of a dispatch to the Governor of British Guiana from the Colonial-office, an nouncing the dissolution of Lord Melbourne's cabinet, observed that as his Majesty's government had agreed to his motion, he should confine himself to stating that it was not his intention on the present occasion to dictate on the practical illustration which this dispatch would afford of the mischievous effect of the concentration of the •great. offices of state in one person. ,On the production Of the papers be. should make such a motion as would bring this great constitutional question before the house. CINQUE PORT OFFICES.-PILOTAGE. Sir THOMIA; TROWBRIDGE moved for a return of all appoint inents made during the last ten years, by or under the control of the Lord War:teed the Cinque Ports, specifying duties, salaries, fet.s, and other emoluments thereto attached and from what fund.; derived. • Mr. HERRIES said that it was the intention of government to appoint a committee to inquire into the whole subject of pilot age throughout the kingdom.

Mr. M um.iNs moved for copies of any correspondence be tween the lord-lieutenants, deputy-lieutenants, or county ina gistrates of Ireland and. the Irish ,government, previous' to had during the late elections, with reference tolhe distribution' and employment of the military force, and to apprehended ob.; 4tructiouf of the freedom. of election. After a short conversa tion the motion was agreed to. . • ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL, in moving for leave to bring in this bill, said that the leading object of the bill was to consoli date some 300 or 400 courts, which were dispersed all over the country, and whiCh Were incompetent to perform those func tions of justice which had been assigned to theM, and:concen trate the jurisdiction in ecclesiastical matters in one court, to' sit either in London or wherever his majesty should be pleased to appoint. It was also intended to invest the new ecclesiastical court with additional . powers, iu order that there might be a more effectual.administration of justice in ecclesiastical Matters which came under its cognizance, while its jtitisdiction over other matters which had been made the subject cif complaint since the house met would be entirely removed. After souse further observations he concluded by moving ,for leave, Leave given. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL next moved for leaie to bring in a bill for the better maintenance of the discipline of the Church of England. The object of the bill was to. procure an effectual adininistratiOn Of the laws in every diocess, to have the proceed ings in the court properly conducted, a due investigation, and a speedy execution of the sentence. It was not necessary 'that he should go into details; he had, in speaking of the preceding measure, described fully the principles on which they. proceeded. But he could not sit down after what had fallen fiion the hon. gentleman opposite without in a fair spirit stating what had been his share, and that of the government with which he had the honour of being connected in that measure. He had already said that the report on which they were now acting had pro ceeded from a commission issued in January, 1830, renewed in July of the same year, and which reported in February, 1632. Now, he neither blamed the government nor the commission for not immediately bringing forward the measure which had been since founded on the report. But at the same time he might be permitted to state the fact,- that the whole of that ses sion, the whole of 1833 and of 1834, was suffered to pass away, and yet no measure, founded on the report, was brought under the cognizance of the house.. (Hear, hear.) Ile did not, he , wished to ba understood, consider it at all a matter of so much importance as some. people might,'from whence a good measure *wilt proceed. The great points to he regarded were, first, that the naeamre was worthy of support, and had been well con sidered; and next, that it should be brought forward as early as possible. He was not aware that hon..gentlemen opposite would be unwilling to share the , praise of. the introduction of those measures, and he was sure the hoilie would be anxious to give the-praise where it Was due—in the first place, to those by whom those commissioners were appointed; and, secondly, •to those right rev. and learned commissioners. who had taken such pains to:prepare the report; nor was he unwilling to share the praise with the late government fur having carried on the in quiry, but he must also lay claim for share in this, for the go vernment with which he had the honour to act, for the readiness with which they had taken up the subject and prepared this bill, and fur the disposition which it evinced that they would not oppose practical reorms. After some obs.trvations from Sir John Campbell, Sir Peel, Mr Hume, and Dr. Lushiugton, leave was given to bring in the bill. COUNTY EXPENSES (IRELAND). Mr. SULLIVAN It )ved for au account of the amount of the money in the hands of the treasurer of ends county and County' of a 'city in Ireland in each of the years 1833 and 1834, after the *pa'.> ments•in each spring and summer assizes, .in,l OctaLer 5.,.- sions,•iu those years, and after Spring assizes, 18.35; and also of the presentments of which each balance in baud is composed, distinguishing those unapplied and disallowed; also the number and amount of advances made on presentments, and the rate of interest charged thereon.—Ordered. POSTMASTERS IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. Mr. WALLACE moved for a return showing the appointments of deputy postmasters and postmistresses (if ant) in Great Bri tain and Ireland during the last five years, ending with the Ist of. January, 1835, with their names, and those of the towns. they have been appointed to; also their yearly salaries and any other sources of emolument, so as to show the yearly income of. each,.also the dates of their appointments • distinguishing th ose who h ave b een promote d f rom the general post offices of Lon don, Dublin, or Edinburgh; also the names of the postmasters general who have appointed the said deputy Postmasters. — Ordered. NATIONAL EDUCATION.--(IRELAND.) Mr. A. Jon N STONE moved, pursuant to his notice, an address .to the crown for returns respecting national education ( Ireland), in pursuance of the order of the 13th of "Slay, 1834; and, its •teldition, a list of all such books as are distributed or used under the direction of the board, with the full titles, thereof, and a list of the schools in which the whole or any of such books are used as class-books.; .also returns-of the number. of. Roman Catholic children, of children of the c h urc h o f England and Ireland, and of Protestant children of other denominations in each of the schools under the superintendence of the board; and that the commissioners state the amount and particulars of any grants made by them to schools connected with or under the superin tendence of any nunnery,. monastery, or other religious institu tions or houses, and also of any grants or schools kept in Roman. Catholic chapels, or buildings forming part thereof, or contigu ous thereto, or within the precincts of the said chapels, with the places where such schools are situate. The. hon. member said that in moving this be could assure hon. gentlemen at that (the opposition) side of the house that he had no wish to disp arage any reli g i ous party. He.thought that as they had now a new parliament, the sense of the house ought to' be taken on, this Important question, and that before that was done the) ought to have full information before them. After a short discussion the motion was agreed to, and the returns ordered. Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE moved to discharge the address which had been agreed to yesterday, on the motion of the hon. member for Weymouth (Mr. Fowell.Buxton), and to substitute another in lieu thereof. The hon. member stated that the object of the !notion was merely to alter the address so as to prevent a second return of documents already on the table of the house. Mr. S. Rice begged to take this opportunity of asking the hon. member opposite a question upon a subject of great import ance, and which at present occupied the attentienof a .consider ahle.portiou.uf.the, people,pohis _country. alluded to the state of reli g i ons i nstruct i on in British colonies. 'baring the time he (Mr. Rice) had the honour to hold the seals of the colonial department, a number of circulars' were issued for the purpose or proenriug the fullest information relative to this ighly importaut matter, but at the time be left office no return had been made to those circulars. Ile therefore wished to .know from the hon. gentlernan, first, whether the answers had 'yet been received, and next, if there would be any difficulty in lay ing the information upon the table of the house. Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE said, that information , had beenf•re - ceived that tbc_returns were.on their may. Indeed. saule- ° f t" - papers were included in the address of which he had juk moved the amendment, though he thought full details in parishes and districts would not be afforded, but at all events a tabular sum mary would be laid before, the house as speedily as possible, The motion was then carried, and the address as amended agreed to. Sir T. FerusraNTLE brought up the report of the newspapers' regulation bill, which was agreed to. On the motion of • Mr. liumE, the folleling returns were ordered :—An account of the net expense or charge incurred • for the maintenance of the college at HaileYbury, in 1833 and 1834, after deducting the sums paid by the students, and stating the number of students educated at the college in each half year; also, an account of the present amount of capital of the Poplar fund of th e East India Company, and of the niimber of pensioners in classes receiving allowances from it, and the 'rate of such allowance s , an d a l so a copy of the rules and regula tions as to the claim ants un that•fund; also, an account of the additional annual expense or charge on the revenue of India actually incurred,. nr to be incurred by the enactments. of the aciof his present Majesty for the new government of Agra the law commissiomers, and other establishments and offices created under that bill; and also, for a return of the estimated expense to be incurred by the Bast India Company. and by the British government, for the diplomatic mission to I'ersia, stating the names of the:persons. apaointed, the office, and the allowance of every kind to he' received. by each, and of the estimated ex pense of each mission. ~ . . The other:orders .of the day .were then disposed of, and on 'the motion of , Mr. BROTHERTON the house adjourned 'at a ,quarter past 12 o'clock. • 1 - 1,01.15 E OF LORDS,. FittnAY. On the motion for lhe'third'reading of the Chestetcrimmals epcution bill, I • • • • • The 'Marquis of Wts?ritiNsthrt Complained that the'bill con , tainedproisions which bdre'reiv hard on"the city of Chester. it' was unfair that the eXpense'Of those executionv 4 should be `thrown entirely on the city.

The noble and learned hod might frame some clause t 3 meet this objection, and ler that purpose he wished the third reading to he deferred till Monday. The Lou D A kELLoic said that no new charge'was thrown on the city of Chester by this bill. The charge was the saute that the city had heretofore borne. He saw no reason, there fore, for poStponing the third reading of the bill, especially as circumstances rendered it necessary that it should receive the royal assent on Monday. In answer to - en observation 'made by the Margnis of West niinster, The Limn CHANCELLOR skid that the sum spent in litigation of this subject amounted to ten times mere than the fee simple of the charge that would be incurred by the city. The bill was then read a third time. %- ‘t' N Ne i, rt~arwrrreiavw~i-te = ~ ' vbi'O~c ~:~az ^ i7Dbs~ tCeI.I7.SIASTICAL • Lord J3aouGtisAtHinoke,l for leave to 'brit* in a bill con nected Kith this suhiect s which, however, he eventually with 44,nntil the bill's' trorrosed in the riosse of Counnons had either lieen matured or abrntlou'ed. PILOIIGE. • The Earl of RADNOR, after referring to a petition which be had presented to the house on this subject, observed that iron what hai passed in the other house on Thursday night, it ap peered that Over - indent were about to issue a commission to ibquire into the state of the pilotage throughout Great Britain. He, therekyre,wished to ask the noble duke whether.he expected the commission to report in such time as would enable life house to legislale upon the subject during the - present session? And if not, whether the noble delre meant tb make any propo sititm pp the subject before the report was ready , ? he buke of WELL INC;i0;1 said the tobl6 'erarl wa - s•rnistaketi in supposing him to have asserted that he bad power to carry into effect auy new regulations with respect to pilots. The ob ject of the noble earl was to compel pilots to reside •at Folke stone and other ports, but it was not in the power of the govern ment to do any such thing. These men were taken from all parts of the coast, and, as soon us they received their warrants, tbey were obliged to be atiOat, in conformity with the act of parliament by which they were now regulated. With respect to the commission for inquiry into the state of pilotage, he hoped their report would be made in time to enable parliament to legislate upon the subject in the present session. It was de sirable that that commission should proceed with its labours as quickly as possible; but it ought to be allowed due time for de hberation, in order thafthe report should be full and complete. Government were anxious to give the subject mature considera tion in the course of the present session. On. the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the abolition of oaths bill (the favourable report of the select committee od'the bill having been first leidon the table) was read a second time —To be committed'on Monday. On the motion of Lord EI.LIiNBOROUGH, the British terri tories (India) indemnity bill went through a cominittee.• The Duke of Goaoors presented several. petitions front parishes in Scotland, praying for church accommodation I n that country.'

The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a petition froth a parish the county .of Buckingham. The pelitieneri 'stated that some time since certain assistant-commissioners appointed under the act had visited the parish, and had decided that it should be united with 18 othei neighbouring parishes. the whole to have a common district workhouse, &c. rhe inhabitants of Stoke Poges sttongly objected,Ao this 'proposition f or u nit in g their parish with other parishes, ansi. they transmitted a memo rial to that effect .to the Secretary of State for the Home De partment in Pehruarylast, mid they alio sent forwarded a state ment to the Board of Commissioners in London; showing that such a proposition was quite 'opposed to the wishes of the parishithiers. The petitioners stated that no attention was paid to their memorial, and, that the other day they received a coin inunicatiiin from 'the Central Board, informing them that the decision of the assistant-commissioners should be carried into effect, 'which' went to unite their parish with 18 other parishes, givinglethote parishes a facility of partaking in the improve ments that had been effected in this parish in the management of, the poor.. It would also have the effect of establishing a Common district workhouse at a distance from their parish, and to which all their poor would be obliged to be removed. The. petitioners stated that such a proposition had excited the greatest alarm amongst the inhabitants, and especially amongst the poor of their parish. It appeared froM the statement of the, petitioners that there were a great many respectable gentlemen. resident in the parish, Who all gave employment to the poor who would work, that the greatest attention was paid to the management of the poor there, and that on the whole the ins preyed systern which had been adopted in this parish had given general satisfaction to the inhabitants. Ile (the Alarquis of Chandus) had been that day told by the overseer, of the parish that it was the intention of the poor law commissioners to divide the families of the poor in allotting them to different work.; honses, and that thus the wife would be separated froM the husband, and the children from their:parents. if such a pro position as that should be'carried into effect, he (the Marquis of Chandos) would only say that it would go to introduce a state of things pregnant with 'the greatest danger to *the interests, the , peace, and the well-being:of the country at large. (Hear; hear.) He must for one protest against it. After some observations from Major Beauelerk and :Mt: Wilks, who recommended a revision of the -bill, the petition Was ordered to-lie on the table. • Petitions were presented by Sir M. S. Stewart in support of the Scotch church' Mr. Maxwell, from the hand-loom weavers of Glasgow, praying for relief; and Mr. -Hume, from Richard SMith, of Litchfield, 6.miplainifig of :,sorpe informality in the presentation of his petition against the return of the sitting members for that city. The petitions were laid on the table, COUNTY OF CARLOW ELECTION PETITION... • On the motion of Mr. Rice, the adjourned debate on this pe tition having been resuMed,• the right hon. gentleman re-stated the difficulty that !fad arisen with respect to the reception oftlie county of Carlow election petition in the Ifanaper-office, Dub lin. and observed, that as it appeared to be admitted that the fault, if any, lay with the Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper, and not with the petitioners, art opraftunitv shoukt-be -afforded to the petitioners to lay their ease before the house. With this view he 4 should move, that the debate be further adjourned to: Monday se'nhight, -and that the Clerk of the Crown and Hana, per in Ireland be directed to attend the house at that time. Mr. WY NN said that •the petitioners had in all respeets cOtn.; plied with the regtiatious of the house, and that, according to, the statement f.,rwarded'hy •141 r. Wallmie to 'the Spealscr, the . Clerk of the Crowu was the only person in fault.. , • ... _ nqEE 'ELECTION PLTITION. '. On the motion of Mr. Lefroy, the consideration of alb; peti tion was postponed nntirafter the'Easter recess, owing to the intervention of the aAsizes for the county. • THE ESTARLISHED CHURCH - (IRELAND). On the question that the order Of the day fur thehouse to re solve itself into a committee of supply should be read, Lord JouN RUSSELL took that opportunity of asking the, right hon. bart. (Sir H. Hardiage,) when the report of the' ec-;• elesiastical commissioners would be laid on the table? He had stated that he would bring forward his motion after the report. arrived, nut because be thought that document necessary to the case he should have to state, but because he thought the house ! should he in possession of all the information which could be obtained when the discussion took plaCe. He wished to-state that when he brought forwaid his motion it Was his intention to move a call of the house. • . . , • , Sir H. HatrtutmiL: replied that he bad no means of expedit ing the report, that government had expressed its readiness to afford the commissioners every facility, and that when he was prepared to say . when the report was likely to be'presented, he would communicate with the 'noble bird. An,hon, member enquired whether Sir George Cockburn, now commander•in-chief on the Halifax station, and recently ap pointed a .100 of. the admiralty, would be allowed the e►uolu ments of both these situations? Lord ASHLEY could not contemplate the possibility of Sir George Cockbutu claiming both salaries. His successor had been appointed to the Halifax command, and he believed, gone out. Str George was expected home every day. OF PARLIAMENT. An hon. - inember asked whether Sir It. SU:dikes plan 'was to be followed in the building of the new houses of parliainent, or whether the conpetitiOn'of other architects was to be permitted? Lord G. SOMERSET said that the committee had at present come ap no decision on the subject. , couPORATION COMMISSraN. Mr. PRYME pnt some question to the chanCellor of the ex chequer respecting the report of the corporation cornmisSiOners, which could not be heard in the gallery. Sir It. PEEL wished that hon. members would 'give him pre vions intimation of the questions they intended to propose--not from any unwillingness or. his part to,ansvter them, butits order that, having the means of obtaining information, his answers might be as Satisfactory as possible. When he applied to the corporation commissioners, some time since, to know at what time their report would probably be presented, he was, if he recollected rightly, informed that it would he ready about the latter eud of the month of Februtity, but that it was not MIA tended to make a partial report. The'chiefcoMmissitiner, how ever, was present, and could .probably give the hon. member some information on the subject. Mr. BLAaKBURNE said that the report of the commissioners was in a state of such forwardness that he had no doubt it would be ready for presentation iu the course of next week. It was already complete in every respect except f orm . 'Mr."P.litoirsosi expressed a hope that the chancellor of the exchequer would make his financial Statement before the Ist of - Sir'ROBERT PEISL adhered tobis fol i tier intention 'of making it a feW days after the close of the financial year.

'He wished for information on the subject. Sir H. PEEL 'said, that as . the 'question referted to the late governmcut, he should not wish to give an answer without due consideration. He would, therefore, advise the hon. member to propose his question the next time the house was going into a committee of supply. (A laugh.) - The order of the day was then read. _ _ EMBASSY . TO RUSSIA. On the motion that the Speaker leave the chair being made, Mr. Sum rose, and said that he intended to move, as an amendment to the motion just made, "That anlminble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he might be graciously pleased to order that there be laid on the table of this house a copy of any appointment, made within the last four months, of an ambassador from the court of-London to St. Petersburgh, and of the salary and emoluments - attached to such embassy. Mr. Sheil then entered into -a review of ltussian polities-her wars with Persia and Turkey--her treaty with the latter Power ; by which she had acquired the Cotninand of the passage ci( the Dardanelles. He did not 'object to the appointment of an'am -bassador to Russia, but the individual appointed ought t s be in•- flexibly' attached to those principles to Which- thelgreat mass of the people of this country were•devoted—(hear, fied to protect the commercial inteiests ; and to represent, in his 'own calnr dignity, the honour of this empire (loud cries of" hear, hear,")—and perhaps it - might also be added,- to raise his voice in favour of neglected and unfortunate Poland. ' (II eaf, Whether or nOt such a person had been -appointed it would'be for his Majesty's ministers to state. Rumours had been.spfead abroad respecting the appointment to the- Russian embassy, of an individual of high rank in this country, and be (Mr. 811 0 1 ) for one should not be foutid to agree with those who spoke of ' that- individual' in - -language personally. - disrespectful. The learned- gentleman then read some extracts from the Tiinei gild other newspapers commenting on this appointment, and referredl to thennble marquis's motion in the -House of-Lords relative to imputations thrown - on .his character by the celebrated nuilwer, " this is too bad," which the late Lord. Liverpool was . said.to 'have'made•to the Marquis's applicatiiiii for a grant as rdtired ambassador. In conclusion,. Mr. Shed• said: he had - purposely confined himself to a there statement of facts - which Weia al ready so notorious as to render comment on them unneceisery. There was but one, observation that he would make. lie *as conscious of the extent of the servieeS 'Conferred on the 14sent government by - Lord Londonderry ; but though the noble lord might be - enalitied to 'art as an- orator at 'Hillshorotigh,'in the count* of Down, he might not be competent to perforiiith4 part of a diplomatist at St.- Petersburgh. ( Hear, hear.) The: hon. and- learned'me m b er co n c l u d e d b y ma ki ng the motion Stated at the comnieueement of lair speech. Mr. Ci;TLAII FERGt:oi:'secended the motion. ' He had ho objection to t he - aivointrni.nr of ' a personal nature; lint ha Con tended this country teas - bound to maintain the' independance of Poland, to' Which the nOble Marquis' was opposed. In AUgUst last the noble lord in his litaee in the 'House of Lords expi . essed himself to the folloWineetfeet;—" RuSsia was perfectly justified in taking her own line with regard to Turkey, after we had con- IKAilcit 17, 18,1 f.. ceived ourselves justified in taking &separate and distinct liar from the other parties to the treaty of Vienna with regard to the Belgian question, and as to the encouragement given to the Emperor's rebellious subjects of Poland." (Loud cries or " Hear.") : He believed that noble person to be the first indi vidual who had ever in any place in this country ventured to call the: Poles, who had been crushed by force, rebels. (Hear, hear.) . The hon. gentleman argued at some length that on these grounds the nobleman who was the subject olthe . niotion was an unfit person to fill the situatiou to which it was saidlie had heen appointed. Lord MA eo:4 expected to have heard some good and valid grounds raised against the appointment, but all that he hail heard was What he must call a stale anecdote, which had been, preVitiiiidy told in the Houie of Lords. Whatever might be the individual opinion of that noble person with regard to the Poles his dilly as an arobassadOr was to execute the orders of the go siernment at home. It had, indeed, been constantly contended, that if an individual had talents kir the diplomatic service, his. potttteal opinioosonght to be no bar to his receiving an. appoint !Rent. He felt convinced that if the conduct of Lord London derry were investigated, no valid charge would be established egaiust his character. [We believe we have given the sob stance of the sliohle lord's speech ; but it is right to, state that his concluding observations were scarcely audible in the gallery.] Mr. litos: begged to ask the noble lord (Mahon) wkther the noble marquis was really appointed anibasiadUr in the ciiurt of St. Petersburgh ? (Great cheering from the oppositiiin.) Lord MituoN replied, that f orma ll y speekitor, the appoitlf ment had not:taken place (hear, h e ar) ; but he believed that it -had been determined upon. (Hear, hear.) . Mr. HOME thought the appointment objectionable on the ground of expense,.and believed that it was madefor the pur pose of 'giving the noble 'marquis a larger salary as a tetneet ambassador. Lord STANLEY:regretted that the appointment had been tried by so poor a test as pecuniary expense, but hoped that in defer ence to the feelings of the people of England it would be re voked. • Mr. OTWAY CAVE objected to the appointment. Mr. C. PEtttssi was sorry to find personal remarks directed against the noble marquis, who for forty years had been exert ing himself in the service of his country. There was a time when iee heard of only one despot, Buonaparto ; he.(Mr. Pel ham) wished to know whether the marquis was an eider of despots, at that time? Sfter Mr.. Baunerman and Mr. Gisborne had spoken is con demnation of the appointment, • Sir ROBERT PEEL would never shrink from the responsibility which this or any act of the government might throw upon him. He was not surprised at the dissatisfaction expressed at this ap pointment by the opposition, since no one appointment of the government had given them the slightest satisfaction. The of Lord Londonderry's employment was not the only . one to which objections had been raised. They took the Attoreey- General for Ireland of the late government, but even - that was objected to. (Hear, hear.) They objected to the appointment of his right hon.. friend the' Paymaster of the Forces, ("heat" from the opposition,) and the noble lord opposite, forgetting the natural amenity of - his disposition, had revived the large - age Which he (Sir R. Peel) had entirety forgotten; and which bad entirely been obliterated from the recollection of his right bon. friend. But was this the fact, that his right hon. friend, who formed part of the present . government, which --government's appointment was considered indicative of such an illiberal dis position, —an appointment considered sufficient to condemn, in the eyes of the•publie, the whole future policy of the govern inent,—was th e re pO r t w hi c h h e h a d confid - ently heard true, that his right hon. friend had been offeredo still higher situation by the government of Earl Grey, (hear, bear,)—he meant the oface of Secretary at War? The right hon. baronet had heard it, not from his right hon. friend, but in public, and which had not been contr a di c t e d. if t h at report—of hich he had no knowledge as to whether it was true or not,—he had only re •ceiVed it through those channels of communication which the public had means of access to,—if it was true that offer had been made to his right lion. friend, it was not fair in those who had that offer to 'make now to come forward and blame the government for this appointment, as an appointment indicative of an unjust, au unpopular, and improper future policy. He would now come to the paticular appointment. • (Much cheer ing.) He (Sir R. Peel) had-no doubt the appointment of Lor'd Lo'ndonderry was unsatisfactory to those - whose policy he opposed —but what substantive allogatum had - been brought against him except the expression that "the Poles were rebellious subjects? " It was but a few nights ago that he heard an hon. gentleman sitting on . the opposite benehes declare with feelings of triumph, that unless every thing th e C ana di ans as k ed for 'was granted they would become" rebellious subjects. Whether the particular expression attributed to the noble marquis had been used by him or not he (Sir Robert) knew not; but at any rate-he could not find it 'either iii the Standard or the Mirror of Parliament _W as it fair to attack's public Man on occount of something that he is supposed to have said at some time or other? And were •they not freqtently, in the course of the warmth of debate, in the habit of using expressions which in calmer moments`thev .were not prepared to support? The hon. member (Mime) 'boa attacked the appeintinent on the groundof expense, but that was altOgetlier unconnected 'with the argument If the indivi dual ap - pointnlent was improper, let it be attacked on that ground. .The right hon. baronet thought it was now time-he `should notice the different animadverSiani of hon. members, and lie thought-that whoever had listened to the details of those animadversieris must- feel that it was a very painful one, made with'it'viewto create a:prejudice against a public mon, although disprorettliv the very perions who had-mule the attack. Lard Londonderiy bad long served the public in public capacities. The right hon. baronet believed that no one could call in ques tion the military pretensions of Lord Londonderry. (Hear. hear.) He presumed that-no one coulddeny that no officer, ex cept the gallant general under whom he had served, had ever shown greater devotedness to the public service, or exposed himself in the course of that service to greater personal danger. (Cheers, and cries of "Oh !'!) " Oh" exclaimed the hon• member for Marylebone. (Great cheering, laughter, and cries of "hear, hear.") The r i g ht h on . b aronet had no doubt that the hon, member for Marylebonehaving listened to and cheered the attack which had been made, was very willing to interrupt him in his attempt to do justice to an absent individual, Who ;had served his country with-the higtiest distinction. 84 - 8. Wrini.t.S.V ruse amidst cries Order, 'orderr and confusion. Sir R. PEEL—Was the hon. member not one who called out " oh?" Sir S. WHALLEY.—I merely mean to say that I was not the only one. Sir R. PEEL said that. the hon. member would restrain bins , from noticing his interruption, or put him- to the alte rna ti v e of ..uOticing every individual . who, did interrupt ? After giving a brief sketch of the -public services of Lord Londonderry, Sir Robert said reference had been made, and here again the right :hon . , baronet thought most unfairly, to an application made ,bsr Lord Londonderry for a pension, to which he thought himself entitled. He did - "not receive it. Lord Londonderry appeared_ to have put an er r o ne o us rou s t ru c tion on hi s claim. But with respect to this fact, supposing his lordship did put an erroneous construction on his claim, he Would ask any man on the other side of the house, referring it to them as private individuali, if that could lte fairly brought"forward in condemnation of his general character ; and proof of his inefficiency to serve as am bassador at St. Petersbargh. (Hear.) The question was not how he had conducted himself as a soldier but as an ambassador. In this capacity ho had served during a very critical tune; for a period of ten years at Vienna. He would not refer to the opinion of the Duke of Wellington or Lord Aberdeen, but if h e re f erre d to the op i n i on of Air. Canning. could hon. gentlemen refuse to receive Mr. Canning's opinion. as to the ability, the integrity, and the qualifications of Lord -Londonderry? Mr. Canning, on his appointment to office ; on the ground of his foreign pol:cy, received the cordial support of hon. gentlemen opposite: They overlooked his opinion on some points of domestic pelicy, and it was !Ilion his general con duct with respect to foreign affairs that the house was prepared to give his government a fair trial. 'When Lord Londonderry expressed his wish to resign the situation he held at Vienna, this was the letter he received from Mr.. Canning:—".Mv Lord,—Having laid before the King your excellency's despatch of the 26th ult.,requesting his majesty's gracious permission to retire from the eminent post of his majesty's -ambassador at the court of Vienna, I have received his majesty's commands to signify to your excellency the permission which your excellency solicits, accompanied with the expression of his majesty's - deep regret for the loss of ytmur exCellency's services, and of his full bud entire approbation of the manner in which your excellency as, fora series of years, and itY times of the in oat critical impor ante, conducted the affairs of the emhassy entrusted to your charge, and maintained the intimate, cordial, and good tinder standing so happily subsisting between his-majesty and his ill's Aerial (Cheers,) That was the testimony borne by Mr. Cunning to, the conduct of Lord Londonderry ou the - last occa sien on which he was employed iu the public service ; and the right hon. baronet must say that, considering Lord London derry's intimate and personal acquaintance with all the-greet events of 1814,sconsidering the proof he had given by Mr. Canning of the able manner in which he had perfumed bit ditties, he could not believe that angry speeches made in that houses--he could not believe that the improper allusion which .had been made to his application for a pension could be consi dered sufficient to outweigh the testimony that had been given by so impartial an individual. Sir Robert then referred to the topic so is relevantly ' introduced—the relations of - Russia and 'Turkey,'atid, after quoting at seine length the opinions of-Lord Holland, concluded his speech by' 'saying :—lf the hon. gentle man should think it expedient to make a precedent of interpos ing between the easeeciee ofs-Stie.

Every other appointment whatever-that might be made with a majority (cries of " Mi nor ity, m i nor i ty '!' ) a fortiori' if they were by a majority that wou ld not - di m i n i s h the force of the objection. • (Hear, 'hear.) That 'would not diminish the force of the constitutional objection. The right lion. baronet had no wish to underrate the objection, but if the ether side of the house hod a 'majority, he would' say' unfeignedly to t•heiur their better course would be to attack the government maic° (hear,: hear) -s-to 'ask the crown to remove the government. If government was entirely without the confidence orthe ma t jority of the house, w hy did th a t- ma j or i ty not a d dress the crown forits instant removal ?.

(Cheers.) ! . Sir J. C. Ilenuouse commenced a speech•ofsgrcat- length. for which we have not space to give even at outline ; by-asking if Sir It. Peel intended-to persevere with this appointment? Sir It.
