The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved
That the resolutions be referred to the committee on stand-
ing orders in order that they might put such of them as
were connected with the standing orders into a technical
form.—Agreed to.
NEW WRIT.
On the motion of Lord 61. HILL, a new writ was issued
for Derby, in the
theca of Lord Duncannon, called to the
upper law (by
mise of the late earl) as the Bari el
BestsaMMlAL
The awns then, at half-put 2, adjourned till 5 o'clock.
The beam resumed at five o'clock.
HOLYHEAD HARBOUR BILL.
Ur. WILLDIAMS moved—" That Capt. Berkeley, Mr.
0. Gore, Mr. uncombe, Capt. Jones, Mr. Banks., and
Vineant Clive, be added to the salad committee as the
=Harbour Bill." The hon. member bred his
.11 the allegation that the Ave gentlemen appoisd
t#e set fairly selected, two of Sum being anterened puttee.
lie gaoled at considerable length from the estimates of rival
eaginram, and hence argued the morality of a fair and
seareliAg inquiry.
Mr. WARD opposed the motion, as a proceeding wholly
uncalled for. The committee had been selected in the usual
way ; and the present motion, if carried, would cast a
reflection upon them.
After a few words from Capt. Harris, Mr. Hume, and Mr.
E. B. Roche, the motion was withdrawn.
NEW WRIT.
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN gave notice, that on Monday
next, he should move for a new writ for the county of Cork,
in the room of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., deceased.
B
In repli to Sir DE LACY Evans,
Lord ORPETH stated that the necesury instructions
had been given for the construction of a stone footway along
Birdcage walk.
ASSIZE OF BREAD.
Sir DE L. EVANS said, it appeared by the public
prints that the hon. gentleman the member for Dors etshire
(Mr. 0. flukes) had put a question, on Tuesday, to the
First Lord of the Treasury, as to the sale and weight of
bread, and accompanied it by an intimation that the price of
bread hed not kept pace with the fluctuations of the corn
market. Feeling that the boo. gentleman motet to infer
that the bakers—(Cries of " Order.")
The Seesaws having intimated that the bon. and gallant
gentleman was out of order, he resumed his seat.
PORTUGAL.
Mr. B. OSBORNE wished to know from the noble lord
the First Minister of the Crown. in the absence of the noble
lord the Secretary for Foreign Affair., whether any de-
spatches had been received since the publication of the blue-
book, intimating that the Conde das Antes and 2,000 men
bad been taken prisoner by the British fleet ?
Lord J. RUSSELL mid that no such information had
been received by the governmeat, but there had been a tele-
graphic despatch in the Moniteur, which probably the hon.
gentleman had been ?
Mr. BORTHWICK wished to know whether the hon.
member for Montrose intended to proceed with his motion
to morrow ?
Mr. HUME did not intend to depart from the notice be
had given, and which would have precedence to-morrow
(this day).
Mr. G. BANKES said that in the papers which had been
published respecting Portugal, the last letter of Sir Hamilton
Seymour was dated on the 21st of May, and it was said to
have been received on the 30th of that month. The last
letter of Lord Palmerston's was dated the lot of Jane, and
which, it appeared, was an answer to a letter written by Sir
H. Seymour on the 17th of May ; now, he wished to know
if there had been any reply to the letter of the 21st of May,
and if so, whether it was to be printed ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said without looking to the papers he
could not say, and he would, therefore, answer the question
to morrow.
Lord 0. BENTINCK begged to ask the noble lord
whether the instructions of the government had been of
such a character as to render it possible that our naval forces
could have acted sgainst the troops of the Junta in the man-
ner described—namely, to take them prisoner?
Lord J. RUSSELL could not vouch for the truth of the
statement, but it was possible in this way : Sir H. Seymour
bed dashed Sir W. Parker to send vessels to the month of
the Daum to prevent vessels from leaving the Douro for
ether peels of the coast with armed troops ; and if the Conde
Des Antes had embarked with 2,000 armed men on board
the steam and other vessels at the disposal of the junta,
belie the instructions were sent from London, it was pos-
Oki that they, might have been taken prisoners of war by
her Majorty'sforoeis.
Mr. HUME wished to know whether the papers which
had been 'printed were all the instructions sent by the
British government, or whether they ware only selections ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said they contained all the diplomatic
dance ; but he could not say that they contained
the orders given by the Admiralty. The noble lord sub-
MOM* seated, in reply to the question of the hon. men-
ial* Dineetahlre (Mr. G. Bank*, that no despatch had
been sent eat in answer to the letter received from Sir H,
Seymour on the 30th May, inasmuch as no mail had left in
the interval: but he might say that the government ap-
proved of the step which hsd been taken by Sir H. Seymour.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN IRELAND.
Mr. M. MILERS said that upwards of 160 persons were
now in prison in Ireland for sums above 21. and under 51.,
and 146 persons for sums above 51. and under 101. ; and be
wished to know from the Solicitor-General for Ireland
whether any measure was to be introduced on the subject of
imprisonment in that country for such small ssum?
Mr. MONAHAN said the matter was new ander the
consideration of the Lord Chancellor, and he (Mr. MOM-
hen) hoped shortly to be able to lay a bill Wore the bowie
on the subject.
EXECUTION OF A CRIMINAL AT BERBICE.
Mr. G. BERKELEY had some time since tolled the at.
tention of the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Hawes) to the
execution of a criminal at Berbice, and stated soma circum-
stances in connection with it, which the hem gentleman had
mid he would inquire into. It appeared that the aallatta-
nate man had been attended b the chaplains ollb• gaol, sad
subsequently by a Roman Catholic priest, is esumpame
whose religions advice he wished, at the eleventh beer, to
receive the ordinance of baptism, but the request was relined.
He now wished to know if the bon. gentleman could give
him any further information on the subject ?
Mr. HAWES said it was true that, on the 3rd of Be.
comber last, a poor criminal was executed at Serbia who
had expressed a wish to be baptised. Both the chaplains
concurred in stating that, if the application had been made
at an earlier period, there would have been no objection loth*
admission of the Roman catholic clergyman; but being made
only a quarter of an hour helm the prisoner was to be exe-
cuted, they felt themselves called on to moist what they
conceived to be an interference with their proper functions.
POOR-LAWS ADMINISTRATION BILL.
Oa the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the order of the
day for the committal of this bi'l was postponed till Meader.
