LONDON NECROPOLIS AND NATiONAL MAUSO-

On the motion for reading this bill a third time,
Viscount EBItINOTON observed that this bill, though
brought forward as a private act, could hardly be considered
other t as involving public considerations. If regarded
sea private bill it was unnecessary and superfluous. It must
interfere with the goteranment measure now before the
how •and on that ground 'he moved that it be deferred
until iliat measure was printed and in the hands of membon.
Mr. BAINES, as chairman of the committee en the bill,
was aatisiled it was one that ought to receive the sanction
of parliament.
Lord .1. MANNERS admitted that the measure
would, to a considerable extant, afford the means of
remedying the great sod that at present existed; and as
IN did not consider that it would interiors with the govern-

EMIGRATION. _ _ _ _

Sir J. PARINI:WOI, In ;;;I to Mr. F. Sctrum,
stated that part of the funds in the hands of the Emigra-
tion Cominimionen would be available in assisting Irish
emigrants to Australia, under certain regulations, but not
in sending out young men from workhmises.
NEWSPAPER STAMPS.
The ATTORNEY-UENEKAL, being interrogated by
Mr. Scholefield, explained that proceedings had been in-
stituted against the Drinferintina News, %hick by publish-
ing a second number under another title within the 26 days,
had infringed the stamp act. 'lbe Stoke•upon-Trent paper,
which was liable to a fine of 201. for publishing at another
period than within the three first days of the month, would
not be prosecuted, inasmuch as there did not appear to
have been any evasion of the stamp dut.
OPEN-AIR MEETINOS AT BON'NER'S FIELDS.

Mr. G. THOMPSON asked the Secretary of State
be the Home Department, to specify the grounds
ea which the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Po-
lice had prohibited open-air meetings in Donner's-
fields, Bethital•green, on the Sabbath day ? It had
been usual to hold assemblies in these open places
on the Sunday for the purpose of listening to addresses on
religions and other subjects; but on Sunday last notices
were issued that such assemblies would not bo allowed.

Mr. WALPOLE said the meetings to which the hon.
gentleman referred had given great offence to the respect-
able inhabitants of the neighbourhood. At these meetings
he was informed subjects of a blasphemous, profane, and
demoralising character had been frequently discussed.
These complaints came to the Commissioners of Works, and
the meetings were accordingly prohibited. The police, in
imesequenee of that prohibition, might have instituted pro-
ceedings summarily against the parties under the Police
Aet, but they had merely dispersed the meetings, and in
doing so they had done no more than was done some years
ago with respect to similar assemblies in the Green Park.
Sir W. CLAY asked whether the prohibition extended to
religious meetings
Mr. WALPOLE was understood to reply that meetings
of that character were equally objectionable.
THE NAVIGATION OF THE ST. LAWRENCE.
Mr. HUME asked whether there was any objection to lay
before parliament copies of the correspondence between the
British government, the government of the United States,
and the government of Canada rempectively, respecting the
opening of the navigation of the river St. Lawrence
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
correspondence between the governments of Great Britain
and the United States was not completed. It was con-
' ducted in a satisfactory and friendly spirit, and they
augured the best results from it.
EXPLOSIONS IN MINES.

Mr. WALPOLE, in reply to Mr. Hume, said he had
already stated that this subject was now under investigation
with regard to the recent accident in South Wales, land
that he should forego expressing an opinion oa the sub-
ject till that investigation was concluded. He might say, in
passing, that he thought the last enuctment was very im-
perfect.
TILE DUBLIN HOSPITALS.

Mr. REYNOLDS asked whether it was Intended to per-
severe in reducing the grant to the Cork-street and the
other Dublin hospitals ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
estimates were not prepared by the present government,
mad he was not prepared to say at once that they could alter
them; bat he thought the whole subject of the hospitals
in Dublin deserved further consideration.

CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERN/SENT IN SPAIN.

ktr. F. MACKENZIE having morel that the house at 1
its rising adjourn till Monday,
Lord PALMERSTON rose and said—l wish to occupy '
the time of the house for • very short time in order to draw '
their attention and the attention of the government to re-
ports which have been for some time current of the exer-
cise of foreign influence for the purpose of bringing about
changes in, if not an abrogation of, the constitution of Spain.
Sir, my opinion is that constitutional monarchy is the beet
form of government that has ever yet been invented by the
wisdom of man. (Cheers.) By constitutional government,
I mean monarchy tempered in its action and insisted in its
functions by the co-operation of a parliament. It appears to
me that such a form of government, while on the one hand
it secures to a nation that public freedom which cannot be
expected from a pure despotism, on the other hand gives and
affords to private individuals that freedom of action within
the limits of the law which is too often not enjoyed by
them under a republican form of government. My belief
is, that a constitutional monarchy, by affording to property
its just protection, encourages industry and thereby tends
to augment the wealth of nations; and that on the other
hand it also is a moral instrument in promoting interns-
Clonal peace. In a despotic government where the destinies
of a nation are swayed by a small number of individuals
not responsible to any public body, tyranny, ignorance, em-
pties, passion, involve the nations which such men govern
in all the calamities of war, and involve other nations who may
come in contact with them in a share of those calamities.
Now, therefore, the support of constitutional government is
a matter of importance, not merely to the nation in which
that form of government is established, but is a matter of
de,n importance to all other nations who may be brought
into contact and communication with such states. There-
fore I hold that while constitutional government leads to
the internal improvement of a country, it better qualifies
such country to perform its functions and fulfil its duties as
a member of the community of nations. Now, among the
countries that are at present in the enjoyment of constitution-
al government, perhaps the most remarkable are Portugal,
Spain, Sardinia, Greece, Denmark, and Belgium, and most of
these have obtained the advantage of tionnitutattal govern-
ment within a eimparatinely recent period. With regard
to Greece, Pries* sad Denmark, the changes were pro-
duced by internal sell essmade arrangements, without any
direct interferon, of lay lareign power. With respect to
Greece, indeed, the form had been recommended by the
powers from the earliest mement of Grecian independence,
bat the immediate Amp was brought about by the rising
of drininitsee,Wiliewere irritated at the long delay
it these pesmisse that had been held out to
them. Bat ia is Portugal, end in Spain, the change
ass mainly sealMed_ by the influence, and even the direst in-
terference of the Peak government, and I think that the
British assensmat oaferred great and deep obligations
apes the people of them countries by the part which it
• then took. In megfeieging the states that have sot a eon-
, stitutional govenumegit, the only important mashies that
are still under dew& rule are Russia, Austria, the domi-
nions of the Sultan, sot the dominions of the Pope.
easy I believe I mot add to the list ; for although the
Grand Duke did grant a constitution to his subject' some
two or three years ago, I believe that latterly, pressed as I
believe by external influence, he has abrogated that
I constitution. Ido not include Naples among the list of
I countries which have not a constitution, for the ream
that I mentioned, because, as far as I am informed,
1 the constitution which the King of Naples gave to his sub-
jects about three years ago, although practically suspended,
has not, in point of fact, been abolished. Now there came
to our shores a very short time ago a distinguished prince,
LP enlightened and intelligent prince, a member of the
royal family of Naples. That prince will have had en op-
portunity during his visit to this country of seeing with
his own eyes that order may he maintained without martial
law—that prisons tau y be sufficient for their purpose
without being turned into places of torture—without
being turned, if I may say so, into charnel houses.
And if those who came into communication with
that distinguished Prince used the practice and freedom of
truth which ought to be observed in intercourse even with
princes, I sin satisfied that when he returns to his native
land he will be able to inform those to whom the informa-
tion may be useful, that if they wish to establish that ear-
