Sir J. PARINGTON said he had read the report in the
papers, and his conviction- at once was, that the two gen.:
tlemen should be placed in the pogitfon in which they for-
merly stood.. (Hear, hear.) Then the question came
whether that could be done. He did not think that the
authority of the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Sir
G. Grey), high as it was, should decide the matter, but
that the sense of the House should be taken.
Mr. OVEREND said he thought the petition. should be
restored. He did not fear the result, and he should be.
glad if the HouSe could put Mr. Childers in the position he
formerly occupied, If that could p.ot be done, he felt that
Mr. Childers should not be prejudiced, and he would
recommend that , Sir George Grey and Sir J. Pakington
should namo any gentlemen who should decide what should
be done, and he would at once submit to their decision. •
The original motion was withdrawn, and Mr. Selwyn's
amendment became the original question.
Mr. WALPOLE thought that the House, could not concur
in the motion, as the House had nothing to do with it.

Mr. JAMES took the same view.
Lord J. RUSSELL thought that the motion ought to be
negatived. The proposal made by the hon. member for
Pontefract was a very fair one, and he considered that that
was the only satisfactory manner in which the case could be
met. •
Mr. SELWYN withdrew

THE TREATY WITH CHIN

Mr. GREGSON asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs when he expectell the treaty with China would be
ratified ; whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Go-
vernment to require the Chinese fully to carry out the con-
ditions of the treaty ; and, whether the Emperor of China
would be invited to accredit a permanent ambassador to this
Court

Lord J. RUSSELL replied that it was the intL
Majesty's Government to require the fulfilment of the tre,
in question ; and that, although the Emperor may not im-
mediately accredit an ambasssdor, something of the kind
would eventually be done.

COMMITTEE OF POSTAL CONTRACTS

Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that early next session he
should call the attention of the House to the constitution of
the committee on postal contracts as being inconsistent with
the practice of the House ; that a committee appointed to
investigate a subject involving questions of personal charac-
ter should be impartially constituted.
