THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Lord DUNCAN asked the noble lord at the head of the
Woods and Forests at what period the new House of Com-
mons would be fit for occupation ; also why the buildings,
such as the library, not immediately connected with the
other house, were cot ready for Lhe reception of members ?
and, thirdly, why, further progress bad net been made in
tialshing the officio, residences ?
Lord MORPETH said he had been informed by the
architect that within from Ii to 18 months of the period
when the ventilation, &c., would be complete, be should be
able to finish the new house. The government had thought
fit to deeire that Dr. Reid's system of ventilation should
be
carried into effect. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the sub.
sequent questions, it was thought best first to devote the
sums appropriated by parliament to the entire completion of
the shell of the buildings. The residence of the Speaker,
and the official servants of the house, could not be very
agreeable tietil the dust was all cleared off. (Laughter.)
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS ACT.
In reply to • question from Mr. B. OSBORN),
Lord MORPETH. said it was his intention, after devoting
his best attention to the
THE C subjectHO , to introduce an amended bill.
LERA.
In reply to a question as to what precautions her Majesty's
government had taken against the cholera,
Lord MORPETH observed that the act of 1832 was still
in force, and that, on the least ground fir alarm, it would be
enforced. It was then under consideration whether the pro-
clamations issued in 1832 might not be advantageously moi•
fled or altered, in case that calamity should make its ap-
pearance.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Sir G. GREY made an appeal to the hon. member for
Youghal not to press on his motion with regard to foreign
affairs in order that the government might be enabled to
proceed with the Crime and Outrage Dill.
Mr. ANSTEY said that if the motion of which he had
given notice related to terser interests than those of the
empire, or affected anything of less importance than the cha-
racter of the assailant and that of the object of attack, he
would yield ; as it was, he felt it due to his own reputation
and to the country that he should proceed. (Cries of "Oh.")
Mr. HUME said he also bade motion on the paper, but
as parliament had been assembled for the express purp se of
despatching necessary government business, he should not
proceed with it. (Cheers.)
Mr. ANSTEY said he would not persist in placing him-
self in collision with the feelings of the house.
THE CIVIL SERVICE IN INDIA..
In reply to a question from Mr. ORIPPS,
Mr. C. LEWIS said that a despatch, dated July last,
had been sent by the court of directors of the East India
Company to the supreme government of India, requesting
them to state their opiuton on the subject of leave of
absence to civil servants of the company. No answer had
yet been received.
NAVIGATION LAWS.
In reply to a question from Mr. Herr,
Lord PALMERSTON said, that the government were in
posoresion of the document oa the subject of the navigation
laws, communicated to the senate of Hamburg by the Zell-
Term, and would lay • translation of it on the table of
the house.
AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.
Mr. HUME wished to knew, from the noble lord, the
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether the government had
withdrawn from the protocol entered into with France and
Spain on this subject ?
lard PALMERSTON said the house would remember
that by the protocol in question certain engagements
were entered into by the crown of Portugal towards the
allies. Two of those engagements were that the elections of
the members of the Cortes should take place with as little
delay as possible, and that the Cortee should be assembled.
Of course, until those engagements were fulfilled, which at
present was not the cue, the English government mold not
withdraw.
Mr. HUME wished to know if any communication had
been received from the governments of Fresco or Spain?
Lord PALMERSTON mid there had been no formal com-
munication from the governments of France and Spain that
they had withdrawn. At the same time he could not dis-
guise the fact that there might be a shade of difference of
opinion between those governments and her Majesty's go-
vernment.
EAST AND WEST INDIA COLONIES.
Lord G. BENTINCK postponed his motion on the subject
of the colonies until that day fortnight.
INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.
Mr. HUME postponed until after the reuse the motion of
which he had given notice, fir a select committee to inquire
into the iota of the public income and expenditure of the
United Kingdom.
THE SCOTCH BANKS.
Mr. J. A. SMITH, who spoke in a very low tone, mid
that there appeared to be a misoonception with regard to some
expreuions which had been attributed to his right hon.
friend the Chalmetter of the Exchequer in his speech the
other evening with reference to the Scotch banks. His right
hon. friend, in alluding to the het of the recent dial's.,
stated that several Scotch banks had applied for assistance to
the Bank of England, and it was attributed to him (no doubt
erroneously) that he said that the B sok of Scotland had been
one of the spplicants. He thought it desirable to mention
the subject in order that his right hon. friend might be
enabled to cermet that missosieeption.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid that he
thought it unnecessary that the Bank of Soiled should
disclaim having applied for such assistance. He used the
words " that some of the banks is Scotland had applied for
asaistanoe," bat be did not mean that the Scotch gameally
had done so, and not wishing to p?int to any partilsz
bank be had used an indefiaite expression in allud. to the
enbject.
CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND).
On the motion for the order of tie day for the second
reading of the bill for the suppression of crime and outrage
in Ireland,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL roes to bring forward a motion of
which be had given notice.
The SPEAKER said he hail called on the hen. member
in his turn, and having gone through the motions on the
paper, aid come to the order, of the day, it was not compe-
tent to the hon. member then to bring on his motion.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said he dal not rise tithing forward
his motion, but to ask the right bon. gesdismen, the Home
Secretary, if he could now hold out any primped that the re-
medial measures for Ireland, which had boon so long pro-
mised, would be brought forward, and whether any imme-
diate steps would las Skin Si provide employment for the
people, and by employment &alga them to procure food
in those parts of Ireland where hirer rowelled, and if he
could give say definite answer Ile the question he (Mr.
O'Connell) boil put to him some days ye, ea to when the
bill for settling the relations of landlord ofd tent, would
be brought `sward?
