roma REFUGEES._
- - - - - - - - -

The Berl of HilfFsiißlTZleap;perhad been put into
their lordships' hands that miming, which had been moved
for by a noble earl (liglistoo). and which ha should have
thought was hardly worthy the dignity of the house to have
called for. The objet was to inquire Into the state of health
of Polish refugees wbo resorted aid from the govern-
ment He merely wished to ask the noble marquis if he bad
aieertaiued whether the Polish ease deserved the insinua-
tions which had been thrown out against them ; whether
they had been se profligate and dissolute as it was repre-
sented they baboon 1 eir public conduct had been most
exemplary, and he believed thrr private morals were equally
without fault.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was extremely happy
to be able to answer the question in a manner which he was
sue would be remised with 'addiction by the noble sari and
the public. He had thought it his duty, after what had
passed the other day, to procure a return of the number of
Poles receiving relief, and he had also informed himself of
the nature of the disease of three who had been under me-
dical treatment as quickly as possible • and, without going
into particulars, he wild state most distinctly, from the re-
turns of two medical officers, that there was hardly
the slightest canes for the imputation that they had
been suffering from a certain disease. During the ppaast year,
it appeared by the return of one of the medical otre that
not a single ease had come under his notice ; and by the other
return, it appeared that there was only one—and, from a
statement also furnished by one of those medical officers,
which extended ever a series of yeas, it appeared that, al-
though it would not be said that there were absolutely no such
cease, yet they were much fewer than they would be, indeed
than they were known to have , been amongst any other
body of men similarly eircumstenced. lie was satisfied
of the general morality and good conduct of the Polish
exiles. (Heardsear.)

Dieted by telegraphic despatch, unaccompanied, however,
by any particulars and therefore it was impossible to say
how far the negotiations may not have connected themselves
with previous
'loations to which we were a party ; but if
it should appear that it was not so there could be no objec-
tion to the peoductien of these papers.
The Berl el MALMES BURY wished to know whether.
'hula had been entered. He supposed not, in consequence
of these negotiation'.

The liaiquis of LANSDOWNE believed Turin had not
been entered, but he would not say It was not in the power
of Manhal Radetaki to have entered Turin.
Lord BROUGHAM said the town of Theo had been en-
tered, sot Turin.
Their lordships adjourned at a quarter before six o'clock.

THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Mr. HOPE asked if then was auy truth in the report
that the stout of which the new hooves of parliament wu
composed was already showing signs of decry ?
Mr. GREENE said he could give a very decided contra-
diction to the notion that there wee anything like general
decay of this state, thouth there meat be a defective stone
found here and thers. He had every reason to state that
the stone was of a most durable description. It had been
selected by a commission, at the head of which was Sir
Henry de la Blame, and that commission had been perfectly
satisfied with the stone.

Mr. OSBORNE asked if it was true that they wou'd be
able to occupy the new house after Easter. (Laughter.)
Mr. GREENE said that nothing of the kind could take
place. (Rear, hear.)

CHEESEMAN HEAD WORKS.
Capt. HARRIS asked if the works in construction off
Cheesemaa Head were undertaken with a •new of forming a
harbour of refuge at Dover ; and if so, whether there was
any objection to lay the plan and animas on the table.

TheCHANCELLOR:of the EXCHEQUER said If the
ban. end gallant gentleman referred to the evidence given
by him (the Chancellor) before the select committee lot
session, he would find the fullest information. The workcat
Cheeseman Head might either be stopped when completed,
or continued provided a larger 14101 were voted. The whole
amount of expenditure had already been stated. Cen'rects
had been entered into for its completion ; when finished it
would be complete in itself ; and if it were then determined
to make a larger work, the part executed would bo so much
towards It.

In *tearer toe farther question from Cast. HARRIS,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had
not the slightest difficulty in giving an essurance that no
further work should be undertaken without the Emotion of
the house. _ _ _

Mr. HUME hoped that a report of the progress of the
works would be laid before the home, and a staterneat of
the money espended.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said there
was not the slightest objection to that.

REFUSAL TO TAKE AN OATH.

Sir 0. GREY answer to a question from Mr. °shower)
stated that he understood a woman who had been committed
at Exeter assizes for refusing to be sworn had since been
liberated. There was s hill before parliament which would
give relief to persons so situated.
