PERSONAL EXPLANATION.—THE lONIAN
ISLANDS DEBATE.
Mr. B. COCHRANE sabered late an explanation of the
statement clad* by him on Friday ermine relative to the
uadersteedieg between the late Duke of Newcastle,
when osinsial Meister. mad the British Olken is the ser-
vice of the crown is the loses Islands for the Inmost of
their. postdate by the Greek government, and which
sederstanding, he add, had bees violated by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. The hos. patentee eomplalsed that
the Obaseellor of the Exchequer had given a distal, la very
etrosi teems, to the statement which be had mode, sad be
lead a letter from Sir P. Celquhens, to prove the strict se-
curacy of the case as vitt:re the home on behalf of that
gentlimae ad his eel
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
statements is question were not made es Mr. Coettrane's
own watts/My, and his personal varsity wee sot impuresd ;
and as to his having used uy strong language, all he had
said was that the information of the hon. member was
Mamma* and nothing offensive to him wee or could have
bean motet.
Mr. ROEBUCK—I hardly know whether lem in order,
because you, sir, have not put the question from the chair.
The SPEAKER—If the bon. member appeals to me, I
venture to recall to the reoollectioe of the holm what the
missile with regard to questions of this nature. A de-
bate has parsed by ; the home has said that any patina's
who wishes to make • personal expbuiatias may do se
without making any motion. I therefore venture to my
that the hoe. gentleman (Mr. Cochrane) weeded have bees
more-regular bad he simply made the explasaties without
moving the adjournment, bmeme such • motion invitee •
regular debate. I may at the lOUS, time point out that
this lea diecumion referring to a former debate, which is

irregular.
Mr. ROEBUCK—AIIow me, sir, to nay that the right
bou. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer has been
allowed to make a statement al pp; and in thin statement be
has impugned distinctly the veracity of a gentleman who*
not • member of this house.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I have im-
pugned so man's veracity. (Cries of " Order.")
Mr. ROEBUCK—Thee, sir, I beg to move the adjourn-
ment of the house. (Hear.) I did sot with to take this
step, bat the conduct of the right hon. gentleman has
forced me to do so. A charge was made against the right
hon. gentleman, sod ho attempted to get out of that charge
by withilrawiez his imputation upon %hobos. gentleman of
want of veracity. So admirable an artificer is the right
hon. gentleman in the arta of rhetoric, that he knows how
to shift his phrase and to withdraw a charge from an boo.
gentleman who is present in order to fix it upon the
absent person who gave the hon. gentleman the information.
I say the whole of this matter from beginning to end has
been a disgrace to the British government ; and I will say
that Mischief penes upon whom that dispose nets is the
Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Hear, hear.) Now I will
justify what I have said—
The SPEAKER—I invite the consideration of the bon.
gentleman se to whether it is in ecoordsseee with the rules
of the bone to go back to a discussion which has already
taken place, because the hon. member is not oonflaing him-
self to the personal explaining.. He states that the whole
transaction to which he is referring is a disgrace to her
Majesty's government—meaning the whole subject of the
debate which has lately taken place. Its for the house to
decide ; but my opinion is that without notice such • dis-
cussion as this is sot within the rules of the house. (Hear.)
Mr. ROEBUCK—I shall abstain from makieg any fur-
ther observations at present. An opportunity will be pre-
sented hereafter to justify what I have said. I have and
what I hive aid ; the justification will come hems:ter.
(" Hear, hear," and laughter.)
The CHANbELLORof the EXCHEQUER roes to speak,
when
Mr. ROEBUCK rose to " order," and said, I appeal to
you. eh, to my whether there is to be • reply to what I
have ant said. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.)
The notice for the adjournment was thin withdrawn
and the subject dropped.
OFFICE OF POSTMASTER-GENERAL.
Mr. D. GRIFFITH, In rising to move for • select com-
mittee to inquire whether the prod as of appointing • peer
of the realm exclusively to the offices of Postmaster-General
is one which is directed or ye, required by any legal nut-
meat or onstitntional prised sod whether the con-
tinuance of such practice is advantage to the public,
maid that although the subject was not one of pressing
emergency, it was one of great constitutional importance.
The boo. gentleman having referred to several statutes. on-
tended that there was no enactment which rendered it so-
marry to regard the office of Postmaster-General as a new
office of profit under the crown. t had, I. fact. ended In
one form or another ever since the Commonwealth. The
office was • purely mechanical and commercial one, and
therefore was all the better adapted for management by •
commoner, although he did not deny that • peer might be
qualified to fill it. He considered that some &trendies wen
rendered the more n sins the Chascollor of the
Exchequer had ionsand the utility of the Post-office
enormously, by modern( it, se it were, the bank of
the country For those masons be to make the
motion which stood in his Dame.
Mr. F. PEEL said that by law no Postmaster-Gessealeould
sit in that hone. Batt the boa gentleman proposed that the
committee should further Inquire whether this law err nee-
tioe might sot be altered for the advantage of the public
service. It appeared to him that that would hardly form
• fit subject for reference to a select committee. It
wee a matter in which the government and the house could
form its opinion. With respect to the public advantage in-
volved in Ilia proposal, it was to be considered that the
vversinent had to carry on the administration in both
home of parliament, for which purpose it was necessary
that certain nate should be filled by peen as well as by
commoners, and it had always bees considered that the
office of Postmaster-General wan ores of these which, with
the least inconvenience, could be sniped to a peer. All
each question., however, should be discussed upon a bill,
and not before a select committee.
The motion was withdraws.
CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT (IRELAND).
Mr. DILLWYN and Kr. MaoMation baling presested
numerous petition spinet the present church establish-
ment in Ireland, the former bon. member proceeded to
move " That, in the opinion of this house, the pressen posi-
tion of the Irish church establishment is useatisfeeeasy, sad
calls ler the early atkatiaa of her Malady's goventment."
The boo. gentleman said that there were is Inland wow&
of 5,000,000 of inhabitants for whom so religious provides
