CITY OF LONDON SEWERS BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved that the standing orders Noe.
26 and 166 be taken into oessidereties, in order to their
being dispensed with.
Lord BEAUMONT said Guilt this motion were agreed
Ms It was impossible that the pstitkiner on whose behalf
the noble earl (Radice) had peseented a petition could be
beard. If marts were forced through parliament to this
was legislation would become a mime.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought a select com-
mittee might be appointed to consider the case of the pe-
titioner.
Lord BEDE:MALE said tho bill had come up to their
kedshipe at a time when it was impossible that it could
rerstive any ceseiderstion.
The motion having been withdrawn the bill was read a
mooed time.
COPPER AND LEAD DUTIES BILL.
Earl GRANVILLE wed the tint readlag of this bill.
Lord RED DALE moved that the bin be reed a test
time this day six in inths. The bill bad been introduced into
the other bowie early in the 110t4i011, and ice second reading
hart been powponed about thirty times; wash fair then that
▪ shoell be brought up t t this house for the tint time ea
the let el September t If their loriskipa submitted to sigh
treatment they would abandon their duty to the country.
(Hear. hear.) It was impos-ible to take the soseleine of
copper away from this country, for it could not be smelted
as cheaply in any part of the world as in South Wales ;
and it was unjust to the mning interest in this country to
take off the exiting duty of six per ant. on foreign copper
gee. If the bill were patted a large somber of 111,1ItS is
Cornwall now raising cnimer ore of as inferior quality would
be *Weed to stop working; but if there was an Independent
peer in the house he must vote against the first reading of
the hill.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the effect of
tk' actor 1842, imposing the existing duty, hat been to
rah: up smelting companies In Belgium, in Germany, in
Chili, and the United States of America; and the noble lord
would fester ffritieh industry by canticuing the duty, and
catalog the cresol Cuba to be sent to America to be env Ite.l,
and those of oar own country to the continent of Eur.pe.
Rat it wan • most unusual proceeding to bring forward such
a motion on the fir-I ruining of a bill. anu thus at ones
stamp with the mirk of contempt a measure which had
passed the shim r bonne of p.rlianient.
Lord REDESDALE did not wish to' treat the House of
Commons with diseowteoy, if thet house treated their lord-
ships with eourte.y ; but this measure was brought into the
House of Commons in Mat, and it had not been sent up to
their lordships' house until the lot of Beptemaer. If this
measure hid been intrud,:ced into their lordships' heuso in
June, a week or turteight would have been allowed before
the second reading; end it was due to their lordships to mark
their sins° of the coneluet of the House of Commons ty at
once rejecting the measure.
Lord MON (EAGLE concurred with the liable hid on
the inconvenience of being galled on to legislate with such
haste. A night or two ago no lei thin thirty; the measures
were hurries through their lordships' house in one night.
lie should like to see a resolution pursed by their lordships
nest en-ion that they would not entertain any melanin
which might be sent up to them after a certain time.
The Earl of FALMOUTH said the bill had been read a
second and third time in the other branch of the legislature in
very tsin houses ; its Wait passed its third t eading by • 'majority
of 3 ; the numbers being for this third reading 38, and oder
it 35. Me thought, th. refur.•, their lordships might dismiss
from Untie minds all apprehension of mating the other how
with contempt by at onto rejecting the bill. This bill, more-
over, would destroy all @pint of enterprise amongst British
miners, and cause • great sacrifice of capital. It would also
Wow a great number of labourers in the smelting weeks
met of employ, and inflict irr.parable injury on the whole;
mining community.
After a few words from the Earl of DESART,
Lard WYNFORD said gnat if the bill posed it would
give greet encouragement to slave labour in Cu ».
Earl GRANVILLE having replied,
The house divided—For 'he first reading
Against
The bill was then read a first time, and
The house adjourn:it at 7 o'clock till 12 o'clock to-
morrow (this day).

the goverrin at at the conclusion of the peace, 1814. Alto,
if the right hon. gentleman would consent to produce any
Treasary seizable or memoranda relating to the mid docu-
ment. Atm, whether the mel. duty, with all its restrictions
and ines-Aveni:nites, was to be continued to be regarded as •
permanent branch of the taxation of the country ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not
answer for toe intentions a future government. as to the
malt tax ; but aerial, he had no intention to repeal it. og
to relax its restrictions. As to the reprint of the memerene
dum referred todse suet object to that on the soon a squelae.
and also beams the nme paper had already hem ease
reprinted in 1812 by the hon. anciaber's own desire. With
respect to the Treasury minutes referred to by the bra. mew

JUDGE AT CHAMBERS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in answer W a question
from Mr. A , stated that if it had been the duty of the
Chief Jurice of the Common Pleas to attend at chambers
he would have done 53. He would read a statement which
he had remitted from Sir T. Welds, whereby the Irn. sad
learned member would perceive that the complaint made la

DUBLIN POST.OFFICE STBASIBRA.
Major BLACKALL begged to ask the theretary of the
Atlunreity whether it is in eontemplatns to slier the time
ut the departure of the moil steamers fr Kiegsteing to
Hole heed, es es to give to the public the benefit of the we-
lensed eannansication between Loudon and
Admiral D MIDAS said that this matter was ea* entirely
within the sostrol of the Testdcalte authorities, sal aot of
the Board of Admiralty. The Post saes ttems-paelete re-
cently put on the service betwees Dahlia and Holyhead were
• very superior elms of boas to any that had been previously
so employed.
Sir G. GREY sal that be bad remind a letter from kis
noble friend the Postmeeterarneral, station that fur the
pupae "(maim the coavet.ienee of the Dahlia ensentunity,
the Post-odloe slealarrs' fine of departure from Kingstown

Major ULACKALL said that this alteration would not

TUE VERNON GALLERY.
. . . .

Oa the report of the Yam Arts COSIUSiaIiGa bring brought
up and laid on the table,
at, K. INGLIS said that he felt some thanks were due to
Mr. Vernon for the unparalleled gift he had mad* to the
nation; and if oven the home did not feel itself called upon
to stir in the matter, the govarnment ought to do so. It
was not right to let such an act of munificence pain by with-
out Inking some more formal notice of it than parliament
had yet thought prop to do. Although there had been gilts of
a similar nature to that of Mr. Vernon presented t, the
nation, it must be observed they w,r.: legacies bequeathed
alter the decease of the iodividnale making them, whereas
Mr. Vernon had made this splendid donation during his life-
time. If only for the portrait of encouraging others, such a
gilt ought trot to be suffered to pass unnoticed by the govern-
ment or tt e 1. 4: iilstute.

Lord MORPETH said that u far ss the members of the
enntnittee of Fins Arts were env road the sentiments
inspired in their minds by Mr. Vernon's splendid generosity
awl munificence hen been fully expensed both publicly and
privately.
ENGROSSMENT OF BILLS.

Mr. HUMEsZe7lii;;;;;Mintiner;;;Zett and it:pen-
sive ream of ongrossiog bills in old black-letter was to he
connoted.
Sir 0. GREY mid that it had hoes macerated that minted
copies of bills ah,,uld be substituted for engrossed ones, but
as the consent of the other house to this alteration was re-
quired, it was too late t,. maks it during the present session.
ADJOUENMEN C.
Mr. PARKER moved that the home at its rising do
adjourn until M.aday rest.
LORD LIEUTENANTS PROCLAMATION.
Mr. ANSTEY, in the ablenoe at the hon. member for
Limerick, begged in his behalf to state that the Roman
catholic priest named llampson, who had bean accus. d of
having torn down si.prociantation at Templeknowe, denied
that he did so in the strongest term..
CEYLON TAXES.

Mr. B. IIAWESTrn mower to aqt est ion from Mr.
Byte, stated that what was termed in the acent
rtm-
plaints from Ceylon a poll tea, was not in fact any such tax :
but was a mere application of a well.known statute regula-
tion for repairing roads, whereby ail days' labour in the year
is imposed on individuals as a commutation for 3s. per heal
to which they were previously liable. This latter coarse hat
barn taken, and so tar frog there having been any riots
at Candy in consaluencc, the statement of Mr. Tennant,
at a public aseeting there, was well and priestly re-
aired as d smented to.
