PUBLIC ADVANCES IN AID OF THE FOOR•LAW
ADMINISTRATION IN IRELAND.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY in' sired, pursuant to notice, of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if any expenditure of pub-
lic money in aid of the poor-law administration in Ireland,
and if any, to what amount, and to what unions, had been
enthralled under the minute of the Lords Commiaaionen of
the Trean
or ey, dated the 16th day of January, 1819.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
hon. gentleman might remember that in the statement
which-he made to the house last Wednesday, he said that In
accordance with what he believed was the general under-
standing of the house, her Majesty's government were in-
vested with the discretionary power of making small ad-
vances to Irish unions for the sole purpose of preserving the
people from absolute starvation--sad that in the exercise of
such discretinn the government had made greats amounting
to about 3,0001. He had now to state that the actual sum
advanced was 2,6301., and that it was distributed amongst
the onions of dearriff, Kenmore, Ballina, Westport, and
Bantry.
RAILWAY BOARD.
Me. BREMRIDGE asked the President of the Board of
Trade whether (after the notice of a bill for consolidating the
boards of excise and taxes) it war the intention of her
Majesty's government to continue the present railway board
u an independent board, or whether her Majesty's govern-
melt:contemplated, is the present session of parliament,
be ineing forward any mature to place the railway bueinesa
of the 000ntry natter the management of the board of trade ?
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in answer to the questicn, was un-
derstood to say that it was not La the contemplation of
government to bring in a bill to abolish the railway braid.
Considerable reductions had been made in the railway de-
partment, but he did not think that the railway commission
would be made a branch of the board of trade, and
abolished as au independent board.
PUBLIC EXPENDITURE.
Mr. B. SMITH aiked the right. hon. gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether there would be any
objection to lay on the table of the house a statement of the
particulars of that portion of the public expenditure which
should be pieced under the control of parliament, and
which had hitherto been paid to the exchequer.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
he had stated the other night that this was a portion of the
receipts which had been already placed under pirliamentary
control. These were called appropriations in aid, and con-
stitated part of the expenditure of public departments.
INTRA-MURAL BURIALP.
Mr. URQUHART asked when the measure respecting
burial in the metropolis and large cities, promised last ses-
sion, would be presented.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that his noble friend had that sub-
ject under his consideration, but was not retady to bring it
forward.

CALIFORNIA..
Sir DE L. EVANS maid that he understood there
were six ships going from London and Liverpool with mer-
chants and passengers to Califoreia, men of high respect-
ability and of d.ffsrent processions. It was also probable
that a still greater number of ships would go. It was under-
stood that they required some sort of protection, and he
wished to know how far it would be afforded.
Sir F. BARING said that the general instruction to the
admiral on that station was to attend and give protection to
pule. He had already received a communication from the
officer which showed him that the subject had not been
neglected by him, hot he could not hold out any expectation
that a ship would b• permanently stationed in California.
Sir DE L. EVANS said that he understood the
orders were tor a shin to touch ones in three months. .
THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Mr. OSBORNE asked the hon. member for Laneaster,
in the absence of the officials csisnected with the Woods and
Forests, what proeres had been made in the huilding of the
new houses or parliament ?
Mr. GREEN said that the question would be beet an-
swered by looking at the houses themselves. It was rather
difficult to state what progress had been made in the several
departments. He could not state when this hones would oc-
cupy the new houses of parliament; he did not imagine it
would be done during the present session. A certain delay
had arisen from the want of money for carrying on works
that were emends'.

THE PUBLIC REVENUE.
Mr. HUME wished to uk a question of the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer. It would be recollected that
last melon the house entered into a resolution thxt the gross
revenue of the country should be paid into the exchequer.
He wished to know whether the gross revenue of the cus-
toms and excise, agesubly to the resolution, we. to be paid
into the exchequer and brought to the piabhe account or
Rut?'
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that It
would have been the more convenient course for the hon.
. .

gentleman to have given notice of the question to be put. Ile
was not prepared to say that it was for the advantage of the
public revenue or the advantage of the publio service that
the whole amount of the gross revenue should be paid into
the exchequer.
INOROSSBD BILLS.
The resolutions relating to ingrossed bills were considered,
and agreed to.
HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENSION (IRELAND) BILL.
On the m..tion for the house going into committee on this
bill,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL rose to move au instracticn to the
committee. It was intended to bring out what might be the real
meaning and weeps of the powers to be given by this bill, be.
cause as yet he said they were not able to judge of the whole
extent and bearing of those powers. There was a difference
amongst the parties to whom they were referred.
There wee discrepancy between the monarch on the
throne and her advisers in the house, and discrepancy
between these advisers themselves in the house. The lest
night when this bill was before us we had the Secretary for
Ireland standing up to give his version and the prime
minister contradicting hint entirely. The Secretary tor Ireland
said that the bill was not to be applied to such afitation as
that to which he had eluded. The prime minister said,
on the contrary, that it was to be so applied. Of course
from the higher position In the ministry of the noble lord,
we were to lay more stress on his words.
Here Stir 0, GRIT appeared at the bee anti said that
the House of Lords desirldagicaferenes with this house on

the subject of %grossed bills. Several members imme-
diately proceeded to the conference, anti on their return Sir
G. Gage reported that the lords had agreed to certain reso-
lutions which were brought up and laid on the table.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL resumed—The bill itself conveyed
no information. The noble lord at the head of affairs
in Ireland would presume to do anything after the
attempt he had made to mix up those who were agitating
strictly within the bounds of the constitution who
were doing their duty honestly, conscientiously, and blame-
lessly to their eruntry—with the unfortunate men who were
engaged in the wretched attempt at insurrection in July last.
But even that should not be an excuse for carrying this bill.
He wou'd be willing not to appear at all, so dist the bber-
ties of the Irish people were preserved. The noble lord had
spoken of the Repeal Association as if it were a theasosable
club, but was it not the fact that not one single member of
that association had been for a moment in custody since the
simmemthesent of the late disturbances ? The noble lord bad
gone on to implicate the repeal agitation generally in the
charge of tending towards insurrectionary violence and con-
spirsey, because those who had gone for something more had
inscribed repeal upon their flag. But they were quite a
different body from the Repeal Association. (Hear,
beer.) The men who had recently disturbed Ireland
were repealer. to be sure, but they were repealer. and some-
thing more. But this less not all. Had they not heard
something of the way in which reform was carried, the in-
fluences which were brought to bear upon the reluctant
peen, and of the fifty franks issued from the Home-office ?
Had there not been sent a certain celebrated letter to %flu.
*nee the conduct of a distinguished general ? The conduct
of the Irish members throughout that straggle should not be
forgotten by the liberal I arty to England. It had been said
that they bartered their support for government patronage,
but he boldly asserted that there never was a man
who had given mere disinterested support to the whiz govern-
ment than the late Mr. O'Connell. An equitable settle-
ment of the than* question was still anxiously looked for by
the Irish people. It wasoas that must be taken up, sad before
a fortnight he should himself submit a motion to the house
then they would see whether the noble lord at the bead of
the government would stand by his *ld principles, and eon-
east to apply the revenues of the Irish Mtabbehed Church
to secular and national purposes. He should now return to
the noble lord's allusions to agitation in Ireland, and he
must say, from what he could gather, the mind of England
wee disappointed that there had not been better opportuni-
ties foe =Mg forte in Ireland. The same mind would carry
the present measure; but be warned the house that their
success would only weaken the bonds between the two coun-
tries. It would do more towards separation than the most
violent agitations supported by the togged, shoeless, shirt-
less crew that had lately created disturbence could effect.
The cry of English politicians had always been for peaceful
applications for redress. The people of Ireland had agitated
peacefully for years, but how little had they obtained by
their fothearanee. (Hear, bear.) The noble lard et
the heed of the government bad told the house of
a sop he meant to give to Ireland in the shape
of an extended franchise, bat at the same time he, the
noble lord, thought that the Irish people had not made
quite the use they ought of the franchise they already pos-
sessed. It was quite possible the noble lord might be led to
entertain this opinion, because at the but election, the
Irish people had, spfts to reteirn two of his MRCVS. But
why hod not thaw sors bean elected? Simply because
they bad redtessa is go with the popular voice, and
that they mimed the interests of England to the demands
of the It people ; and therefore every right-minded
man Irma sp; of the me the electors had made of their
vote, a that ~thigsr they had vindiested what they eon-
aived be the mynahs of their country by voting accord-
