FRIDAY.

The House, at the morning sitting, went at once into
Committee of Supply upon the Civil Service Estimates,
resuming the consideration of the vote for Parks and
Gardens, and, after a long discussion, which absorbed
almost the whole time assigned to the sitting,—com-
prising, among other topics, the li,nsingtou-gardens
Ride, the Serpentine, Battersea l'ark, and the draining
of Richmond Park—the vote was agreed to. Time
was left for only one additional vote, of £5,000 for the
Probate Court and Registries, which was likewise
passed.
in the evening, on the motion for adjournment till
M Isy,
Mr. BRIGHT called attention to the excise duty upon
paper, in order to make one or two suggestions, which
be thought might be adopted with • view of saving the
Muaa. from the painful and perilous condition in which
it was placed. The hancellor of the Exchequer had been
subjected to a new authority, which would create
! difficulties and disasters in ineasum of finance, Tim
House had passed Hate hariuleas Resolutions, intro-
duced by a speech far from harmless ; but
! if it had a spark of spirit it would avail itseif
of SOUIO mode of restoring its authority and re-
deeming its credit. He suggested to the 0 lvernment
that a Bill ought be introduced into that House suspend-
ing the collection of the Excise duty upon paper till
March or April next ; or there wiumnother course, which
had been proposed by Lord Fer ttttt y, not to prorogue.
but to adjourn Parliament till November, when the Bill
might be reconsidered in the other House.
Lord PALM KRSTON laid he lied hoped that they had
sufficiently discussed and finally disposed of the serious
question which had threaten.' to bring about &col-
lision with the House of Lords. if Mr. Bright enter-
tained the strong opinions he had expressed, he thought
it would have better become I to declare those
opinions, Ind propose the course he recommended at
the time when the subject was under consideration in
that House, when the House was full, and the event
recent. He thought Mr. Bright would have better con-
sulted his own character and the dignity of Parliament if lie
had been content to let the matter rest upon the decision
I of the majority of the House, approved by the great
I bulk of the nation. . .

On the °Mer for the second reading of the Peace
Preservation (Ireland) Act (1850 Amendment Bill.
Mr. moved to defer the second reading for
three months, deeming the Act unnecessary, since there
there was a diminution of crime and an absence of out-
rages in the country.
After a long discussion, Mr. MitunEasy moved that the
debate be adjourned ; but the motion was negatived by
104 to 12. _

The House then divided upon the amendment, which
waa negatived by 87 to 27, and the Hill was Read a second
time.

Mr. CARDWILL, in moving the second reading of the
Party Emblems (Ireland) Bill, sent from the Lords,
shortly explained the objects and provisions of the Bill,
the existing law upon the subject being defective and
requiring amendment.
The Bill was then read • second time.

The other orders having been disposed of, the House
adjourned at 10 minutes past 3 o'clock, till Monday.
