to introduce certain measures one providing for a concert-
trated power to receive the local taxes, and the other an
amended municipal bill. Government was prepared to take
this course if it met with the cousins nee of the contendinr:
parties; but he feared that there was little possibility of their
coming to an arrangement. Under these circumstances, ann
seeing that the present bill was generale objected to by the
citizens of Dublin, he had made up his mind to vote with his
hon. friend the member for that city.
Mr. S. HERBERT denied that the bill was generally un-
popular in Dublin. In his opinion the better arrangement
wsuli be another short adjournment.
Mr. REYNOLDS reminded the hon. member that the bill
had already been disposed of..
Mr. S. HERBERT begged the bon. member's pardon.
They had only decided ox striking out the word " now ";
the future day on which the bill was to be road a toned
time had net yet been decided. (Laughter.) He moved as
an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day
fortnight. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. REYNOLDS appealed to the right hon. gen'lemun in
the chair. He had always been under the impression that a
motion such as had jut been carried postponed the reading
of a bill far six month.. (A laugh )
The SPEAKER explained that the words of the amend-
ment were " to 'Pike out the word' now,' for the purpose
of adding' this dig as months.' The division had been
taken on the omisston of the word " now." The day to be
substituted was a question still to be decided.
Mr. OSBORNE had voted against the second reading of
the bil: without knowing aaythsng of the merits—mi rely as
• vote of confidence in the bon. member for Dublin. (A
Isugh.) He suggested to that hon. member to consent to
the postponement far a fortnight.
Mr. REYNOLDS persisted in dividing against the bill.
If the eitittens were driven to oppose it in committee, it
would entail on them an expense of 6,0001.
Mr. GROGAN complained that the course adopted by
his hon. colleseue had taken him by surprise. He should
support the shortest postponement. The house again
divided—

ST. MARY'S, WHITECHAPEL, TITHES AND
EASTER OFFERINGS BILL.
Oa the order of the day for the second reading of this bill
being read,
Mr. OSBORNE rose to oppose the further progress of the
bill I the object of which wu neither more nor less than to
gfur4he tutor of Whitechapel a permanent income of 1,0001.
a year, to be levied cn the poor's rate, f. r item WW. ilnear-
therto had near piftielneed more than 3201. Re mired that
the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. GLADSTONE defended the bill. What the 1131180
was called upon to decide wav, not that the rector should
have a fixed income of 1,0001. a year, bat whether some
fixed income should be given in lieu of the present uncertain
and disputed remuneration. He believed that the present
bill was ap?roved of by some of the rr °et respectable iota-
bitante of the pariah. It was true that the present code of
payment had met with opposition in the pariah, and the
only mod. of settling the dispute was either by this bill or
a suit in Chancery, which must eventuate in a much heavier
charge on the ratepayers than was contemplated by the pre.
sent measure.

Mr. OSBORNE.—Ier, supposing him to get a 2a. 9d.
rate.
__ _

Mr. OLADSTONE.—Yes i a N. 9,1. rate on a rental of
06,0001. would produce from 12,0001. to 16,0001. a year. All
he asked the house was to go into committee to consider the
propriety of a fixed income in lieu of the present disputed
rate.

Sir W. CLAY, who was very indistinctly heart, said that
the question for the decision of the house was, whether they
should substitute for the legal but unsettled claim of the
rector an arbitrary sum taken from the poor-rate ;to such
an appropriation of the poor-rate he could not consent. And
the parishioners of SL Mary, Whitechapel, though they were
anxious that the question should be settled by arbitration,
were not anxious for the arbitration of parliament.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considered that theft who
were friendly to the poor-law, and desired to see the poor-
Tate duly scmioistered, could scarcely give their assent to a
measure the principle of which wee to charge upon that rate
the endowment of a church living. (Hear, hear.) His main
objection to the bill was, that the rector, who applied on the
alltgatitm thnt his right was founded on ancient custom, but
did not allege that his claim had been made out, neverthe-
less, asked the house to pa.s a measure compromising the
meter in dilonte in his favour.

Mr. GOULBURN contended that the principle of the
bill was not new, and had been noognised by parliament on
several occasions; on one, he believed, no later than two
years ago. The object wee to prevent litigation, and save
expense, both to the parishioners and the incumbent. It sou
objceed that the proposed stipend wee to be paid out of the
poor rate, but all that was hrended was to establish a
rector's rate, as was done in many other parishes, as a sub-
stitute for the income now derived from other sources.

Mr. G. THOMPSON must oppose the bill, la compliance
with the wishes of a large number of his constituents, who,
however, wire influenced by no personal hostility to the
truly exemplary and exesbent incumbent.

Bir E. BUXTON supported the bill, deeming it highly
desirable, both to the rector and to the parish, that the
claim should be commuted for a fixed sum. The object was
not to give to the rector one farthing more than he was at
present, by law, entitled to ; but, to commute rights that
could not otherwise be ascertained without great difficulty
and expense to both parties.

---
Sir D. L. EVANS said the opponents of the hill did silt
object to an amicable settlement, or to a settlement which
should be satisfactory to the Incumbent; but it should be
remembered that they were now legislating for a parish, the
majority of whoa inhabitants were Jews or disunion. Me
suggested that the bill should be postponed, in order to
give time for an amicable arrangement between both parties.
With regard to the feeling of the inhabitants, at a vestry
meeting held on the 26th of January, a resolution was una-
nimonly come to that wee decidedly hostile to the bill.
The house divided—Ayes
Noes
The bill was consequently lost.
AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.
Mr. ANSTRY inquired whether it tau true as stated in
the official journals of the Austrian government, that Count
Colloredo, the reprssentative of Austria at the Congress of
Brunch, had laid down as the basis of negotiation the stands
quo of the treaties cf 1816 ; and if so, whether it was under-
stood to include the arrangements guaranteed by that treaty
with rupee* to Poland and to Cracow ?

Viscount PALMERSTON—Undoubtedly the Austrian
government have held, through their representative, that
they are entitled to maintain the territorial distribution esta-
blished by the Treaty of Vienna. But though certain
arrangements were eetablished by that treaty, no guarantee
was given by the contracting powers. With regard to
Poland and Cracow, any one who cognisant of what has
passed during the last two or three years will be able to
answer that question as well ma I eau.
