Mr. COBDEN having moved that the petition from an elec-
tor of this bomugh be printed,
Mr. RAPHAEL TOGO to speak ; but
The SPEAKER said if the subject woo to lead to a debate
it could not come on until the other orders of the day bad
been disposed of.
QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.

Mr. STAFFORD wished to take this opportunity of ask-
ing Mr. Speaker what was the rule with respect to new writs I
Did a notice for the issue of a writ require renewal like other
dropped orders, or could the subject be brought under consi-
deration as a question of privilege ?
The SPEAKER said all motions for the Liming of new
writs were questions of privilege entitled to precedence, but
the house had made an order that notice should be required
of any motion for issuing a new writ where a committee al
the house had repotted that a seat was void. Now the rale
as to dropped notices wax that wh re the matter was not de.
hateable, the notice might be brought on without renewal
but where it was debateable it could not be brought on until
after the other orders had been disposed of.
MR. MITCHEL'S TREATMENT IN THE
SHEARWATER.
Sir G. GREY said he was anxious to snake a short state-
ment to the house in justice to some officers of her Majesty's
navy, who bad been referred to on a former occasion. The
house would recollect that he had been asked some time
since whether the officers of her Majesty's steamer Shear-
water, which had been appointed to convey Mr. Mitchel
from Dublin to Spike Island, had not invited that person to
breakfast? The admiral in c .inmand at Curk had inquired
into this allegation, and a report had been made upon this
subject, which was perfectly satisfactory and entirely exone-
rated the officers of the Skearwater from the allegation.
Mitehel had teen placed in a separate cabin, after being re-
ceived on board the vessel, and he continued in it up to the
time of leaving, except for a short period on the only morn-
ing he was on board, when, in consequence of his cabin being
wet, breakfast was ordered to be served to him in the gun-
room. The breakfast, however, was not provided until after
the officers had finished theirs. The officers of H.M.S.
Skearwater had not thought it consistent with duty to
mention these facts !otherwise than officially, and he there
fore considered it right to make a public statement of them
in that house, and to add that the explanation entirely ex-
onerated the parties from the slightest censure.
RACING SWEEPS.
Sir R. H. INOLIS said be wished to cell the attention of
the right hon. baronet to a subject on which he had already
communicated with him. Some time ego he had placed in
his hands a newspaper containing no less than 47 advertise.
mews relating to racing sweeps, to which the right hon.
baronet had promised hie attention. Believing that hardly
anything could be more demoralising than this system, he
begged to ask the right bon. baronet if these lotteries were
illegal, and if illegal whether he intended to prevent them
for the future ?
Sir G. GREY sa;d that, in consequence of his attention
having been tailed to the subject, he had made it his duty to
ascertain what was the state of the law, and he believed that
by a judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in 1616 these
sweeps were held and declared to be illegal lotteries, and
therefore, of course, all advertisements respecting them were
prohibited under the 6 & 7 Win. IV. Under these
circumstances a correspondence had ensued with the office
of stamps and taxes, and they had promised to lay before the
Hoene-office fur further instructions all papers contain;
advertisemenU of the description referred to.
CUSTOMS DUTIES.

Mr. WAWN asked if any calculation had been made as
to the probable loss of customs duties in consequence of the
proposed repeal of the navivation laws?
Toe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be bad
really made no such calculation.
Mr. WAWN said he would repeat the quaition to-
morrow!
RAILWAY COMMISSION.
Mr. BANKES said he had 7given notice of his intention
to move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the Railway
Commission Mt. On Friday he should ask if the govern-
ment would allow him to E
OF bring
SPIRITS. in that act.
SAL
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said there was a bill before the
house called the Spirit Dealers Bill. Under an old statute
of George 11., parties selling spirits could net recover any
amounts under 11. He should be glad to know it there
would be any objection to introduce a clause into the bill in
question having for its object to repeal that enactment?
[No answer was returned to this question.]
THE "NO HOUSE" ON TUESDAY.
Mr. }MART wished to advert to the circumstance of
there being no house yesterday, when questions of great im-
portance were upon the paper. It was not for bins to say
who was to blame, but he could not help remarking that ten ,
members who had notices upon the paper wore not present.
(Hoar, hear.) He wished to give notice that in consequence
of this occurrence he should bring on a motion which stood
in his name on the first supply night.
Sir 0. GREY said the hon. member had given a very
good reason for there being no house when he stated that ten
members who had notices upon the paper deemed them of so
little consequence that they did not consider it worth their
while to come down to make a house. On this occsaoon, at
' say rate, the government could not be blamed, for there were
so less than sin of them present.
fiir W. MOLESWORTH said he should bring forward
the motion which stood in his name cn Tuesday, the 25th
• ot July.
• Mr. STAFFORD, as the first notice which stood on the
papa kr last evening was likely to occupy the whole night,
