The Earl of )lALMESBURY said he was requested to
state, on the part of a noble lord (Lord Stanley) not then
present, that circumstances over which he had no control
obliged him to withdraw the motion which stood Oa the
piper for that evening with reference to the Cape of Good
Hope; and he had also to state that as soon as those circum-
stances would allow of it,he would bring the subject before
their lordships.
IMPRISONMENT OF ABD-EL-RADER.
The:Marquis of LONDONDERRY, pursuant to notice,
put a question to her Majesty's government, asking whe-
ther they had received any communication from our am-
bassador at Constantinople respecting negotiations that were
now going on for the liberation of Abd-el•Kader, and his
transmission to Turkey; and whether the government
would use their good others in conjuction with Turkey, to
alleviate the imprisonment of that illustrious warrior?
Illustrative of the anxiety of the French President for his
liberation, the noble marquis read a letter, of which the
following is a translation What you have told me of
the Emir Abel.el-linder has filled me with a very lively
interest; and I recognised in your anxiety for him the
same generous heart which interceded some years
ago in favour of the prisoner of Ham. 1 will
confess to you that from the first day of my election the cep-
tivity of Abd-ebliader has never ceased to occupy my atten-
tion. and to press upon my heart with intolerahle weight.
Thus I have often busied myself in attcmting to discover
the means which would enable me to set him at liberty
without the risk of compromising the repose of Algeria and
the safety of our soldiers and our colonies. Even at the
present moment my new ambassador (moo word exam-
svkar), who is on the point of starting for Constantinople,
is instructed by me to study this question,—and believe me,
my deer marquis, that nobody will be more happy than
myself when 1 shall have the power of restoring Abd-cl-
limier to liberty.—Loets NAPOLEON."
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that the govern-
ment had no, official information on the subject, nor had
they any chins to interfere in the question, though of course
they, in common with their lordships , would rejoice to hear
that the French government found it consistent with their
duty either to re lo use that eminent warrior, or to mitigate
the evils of his detention.
Loril BROUGHAM said nothing could be more satisfac-
tory than the answer of the noble marquis.
LODGING HOUSES HILL.
Oa the motion of Lord REDESDALE, this bill was read
a raeond time.
The Karl of SHAFTESBURY then called the attention
of, Lord Lansdowne to the ease of a climbing boy who had
been suffocated in a chimney near Levok and wished to
know what the government were prepared to do in the
matter. Would lie order the prosecution of the mailer of
this unfortunate child, or would he introduce a bill to
amend or repeal the act in question ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he hail only
just heard of the ease, and would give his answer when he
Lad informed himself more fully SA to it. detail..
Several bills were advanced a stage, and their lordships
then, at 6 o'clock, adjourned.

IlltE.tell OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr. ANSTE\ ruse fur the purpose of calling the atten-
tion of the house to a breach of its privileges on the part of
the printer of the Freeman's Journal. In the first place
he hail to move that • in that paper of last Satur-
day should be rend at the• ta .
The CLEIta at the table then read an extract from the
ctwaß's Journal of Saturday, June 28, which stated,
that at a met ling of the Roman catholic prelates a resolu-
tion hail been passed expressing surprise at a speech lately
made in the Houle of Commons by Mr. Anstey, and con-
trailitting a statement attributed to the hon. member, to
the ed et that it was notorious that there hail nut been an

annual meeting at Maynooth for mane years back, at which
a motion hail not been made against the Maynouth grant.
Mr. ANSTEY then said that for the purpose of enabling
him to make a minder statement he would move that Ed-
ward Duncan, the printer of the if•V/V114.$ Journal, be
called to the bar of the house. The course which had
been takes by a number of the reverend prelates of the
Roman catholic church in Ireland, one of whom as op-
peered from that paper was Dr. M•liale, imposed on him
the seeemity of making • very brief but clear explanation.
The purge of his epecele, an which the Taoistic*
was ferules!, was es the face of it a mere abstracs—a mere
abrid,gment of what he had said. Although he did not
doubt that the intention was to make that sheaved as cor-
net as possible consistent with brevity, yet be Must observe
that as a report of the speech in some Important mitten of
form it was incorrect, and it would he seen' that the con-
traslietion involved in the resolution was only a formal
contradiction, a substantive coutrediction it was. This con-
tradiction consisted d two ports. It 'bated that a con-
siderable minority et *a lates did not vote with Dr.
ld Hale on any of the in question, and it stated
also that on so nowdes lad any prelate brought the
question of voting age the Maynooth grant under
eimsideration. Ile (Mr. Matey) hod not stated that
that was the form in which the master was brought
forward. What he had Sand was that Dr. )(Male had at
different times, when the pedals haff net together,
brought ender their modes a project of his own for the tor-
nados of a esthetes saioneltp out of voluntary contribu-
tions. This proposal, le had said, was preliminary —that

to take motanessto doing *is putamentary grant. But
the proposal of a lathe& alias try had found no favour
with the malisetty of the reverend prelates, and whether
the minority heartily approved of it he did not know.
He bad said that it was Dr. M.Hales intention of submit-
ting to the board, at the ensuing annual meeting, the ex-
ample of the Roman catholic bishops of Belgium, who had
been able to support their own seminary in a similar manner
to what he proposed. His (Mr. Anstefs) statement had
been and still was that previous at least to the passing of
the act of 1815 various attempts had been made, and made
in vain, by Dr. M'Hole and a section of the prelates in Ire-
land, with a view to the abolition of the Mayrsooth rant,
the preliminary step being the metiers of a seminary,
which was now used for a different purpose from what had
been originally contemplated, namely, the extinguishing
of the Queen s colleges in Ireland. (Hear.) The efforts
of Dr. M'Hale to establish the seminary bad been at first
opposed by the majority of the prelates, inasmuch as they
were favourable to the Maynooth grant, and he was not.
The hon. member concluded by stating that be would not
press to a vote his motion that the printer of the Fmtman's
Journal be called to the bar of the keens. The motion had
been made in order that he anOt have the opportunity of
submitting his statement to the hone.
