The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER admitted

instituted by the Attorney-General for Ireland agakst the
insolvent treaters of the Irish savings bank.?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied it

proceed against the parties, though Ito y admitted the depo-
sitors Lad suffered a great wrong. He was not aware that
there was anything to prevent the parties who had suffered
the injury proceeding in forma paveria, as was done fre-
quently in this country where persons were too poor to pay
Rt* enema of laical proceedings themselves.
VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.

Mr. HUME moved foe •
Statement of the number, nature, eaten, and parks of the settle-
ments, and water of settlers. which the Hudson's Ps Company
will be repdred to ostaldish la ths Wand of Veneouver within the
period of Gm years. so as to premed a 'macadam el the pant of that
Island: spesilleation of the wiplaUons which be required from
settlers by the nelson's Bay Conspny, p►evious to their

His object was, ba eaa•rcatu the nuulat'ons under which It was
propped to colonise, whether parties would be at libery taste
quire land as in other British colonies, and if so, under what
arrangements. lie knew a company who were now prepared
to seed out 200 settlers, If they were assured that on the r
arrival they would be allowed to purchase land and be free
tram any control on the part of the Hudson's Bay Cum-
pan UAW ES said the whole *objet t had been referred to
the Privy Council, who would determine whether the Wu-
raid prt.v.ded for colonising the Wand were sufficient or
not, and to make the necessary stipulatim.s. With regard to
private offers to colonise, he had received communications
from many different parties on the subject ; but, on inquiry,
it did not appear that any of those parties who made such
offers were in a condition to carry out the object in view--
the colonisation of the island.
Mr. HUME then moved for
Account. of the capita of the Its 'eon's Bay Company at the preent
date, and the nature of the property in which invested, with the
names and number of ahireholders or proprietors, and the number of
shame held by each; and of the principal articles of Import at d ex-
port by the Bodeen's ►ti Company during each of the set five years,
shooing the quantities of each ar.d aggregate value thereof.
Mr. ROBINSON maid the company were ready to give
every information required, but they did not thin* it right
that they should be called upon to make a return of the
names of proprietor., which was not required of other joint-
stuck companies. He complained of the unfounded attack
made on the company in the debee of a previous evening.
Mt. ItUitK rem eked that in many instances the names
of the proprietors of jointstock companies were required to
be produced.
The motion was then agreed to.

Ireland an the practicability of rendering the t)wn of Fouls,

THE CHELTENHAM ELECTION PETITION.
_ _

Hr—B. PALMER rid he—
felt himself called upon to
draw the siltation of the house to en attack which had been
made upon the members of the committee appointed t in-
vitee tats the merits of the petition complaining of the
election sad return of Mr. Craven Berkeley ter the borough
of Cheltenham. (Hear, hear.) The matter did not so much
concern himself and the four other hon. usembenerifh whom
he had been associated on the committee as it affected the
character and dignity of the house. When he had b.. en se-
lected for the discharge of an exceedingly disagreeable duty,
and when he at the table had tot. only sworn to do justice
according to the evident:, he was not prepared to expect that
for the discharge of those duties he should be awaited with
the foul-mouthed calumnies to which he would now ref T.
In a newspaper called the ChelermAant Examinee wao
re-
poeted a speech delivered on Monday list by Mr. Craven
Berkeley at a meeting of the electors of that
borough. In that speech the hon. gentlem.n said
that when his counsel, Mr. James, and him-ell
saw the constitution of the committee they viewed the result
of their decisions with serious apprehension and alarm, sad
then he proceeded with a personal attack upon the ehavnian
Mir W. Clay) and the rut of the committee. The hon. and
learned member here read the extract of the speech in u-
kase). The charge spinet himself was that he had, during
the inquiry, been in frequent coeveriation and a dloquy with
the cussed and agents of the petitioners against Mr. Craven
Berkeley's return, and that be had been seen in Howard's
robing room near the Hon eof Commons in consultation with
them. To this imputation he now gave the most distinct and
deliberate oontranietion. With the agents he had held no
eommonication, and with the counsel, with whom, as ms em-
bers of the same profession, he was acquainted, in asy trivial
coovereation which had taken place he bad carefully
guarded himself from saying anything which in the slightest
degree could intimate what was spine on in the deliberations
of the surnitteir. He probably might be justified in found
ing some motisn upon tne attack, as a breach of privilege,
but be scarcely thought it worth while to do so. He would
only add that the committee had been unanimous in their
decision, sad he trusted the character of every member of
that body was still intact without taking any further pro
ending. (Hear, bur.)
Mr. -id. J. O'CONNELL thought the hon. and learned
member had acted quite right in not treating this matter as
a breach of privilege. He could not but regret that the late
member for Cheltenham should have made so unjustifiable
an attack upon a body of gentlemen whose honour and cha-
racter were indisputable.
Lord O. BEN LINCK said he should be wanting in his
duty if he did not rime to express his indignation at she out-
rage which had been committed upon five honourable men
who had been milled upon to serve on their oaths on this um-
mittee. (Hear, hear.) He hid understood from the right
hon. gentleman in the chair that tecluically this outrage
could not be dealt with u a breach of privilege, an election
committee being a judicial tribunal created by stafute,
whereas a select committee, appointed by the house, would
have the protection which as a matter of privilege might be
afforded. A ROM unjust charge had never before been made ;
and he trusted the noble lord opposite who represented the
government (Lord Palmerston) would join in the expression
of indignation which the speech of the late member for Chel-
tenham hod engendered.
Lord PALMERSTON said he could not hesitate to ex-
press his deep regret that hie hon friend the late member for
Cheltenham should, in a moment of irritation. have applied
terms so unbecoming and undeserved to five gentlemen
whose character and honour afforded a complete negative to
the imputation east upon them. He trusted end believed
that his bon. friend (Mr. C. Berkeley) would In his eels
moments Turret that her had hadaipd Is the observations of
which the hon. and honed varnabw appealte had most justly
complained.
The hour* then at 20 mantes pea 5 o'clock adjourned
to Monday.
