HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY

Mr. Maguire asked whether it is intendi?d to introduce,
on the part of government, any measure for the repeal or
modification of the oaths now taken by Catholic Members of
Pailiament, and, if so, when will they be prepared to lay
such measures on the table. "1

The Attorney-General for Ireland, said, that it was not
intended to bring' forward any measure during the presen t
session, but he hoped to propose in the next a modification
of the existing oath. '
Mr. Grady asked government if it intended introducing
any measure this session, for the alteration of the laws
which regulated the relations between landlords and tenants
in Ireland, with the view of securing compensation to the
latter for all substantial and permanent improvements made
by them on their holding.

The Attorney-General for Ireland said, that the Irish
government would consider the matter with a view to
legislation next session, but no measure would be introduced

at present.
Mr. Danson asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
whether it was the intention of Government to introduce a
Medical Charities' Amendment Act during the present
session ? and, if so, when such a measure will be laid upon
the table of the House ?

Mr. Cardwell said, Government had no such intention

during the present session.
Mr. Digby Seymour asked the Vice-President of the
Board of Trade, whether the American govern-
ment regard the trade by sea between New York and
California as a coasting trade when the goods are un-
shipped at Aspinwall, and carried across the Isthmus of
Panama, to be reshipped for California, and, if so, whether
it is proposed by her Majesty's government to address any
remonstrance upon the subject to the government at Wash-

ington.
Mr. Wilson said that communications would be imme-
diately made with the American government respecting the
matter, which was of great importance to the shipping
interest. The construction put upon the term coasting
trade was a forced one, though it might be correct as to the
letter.

In answer to Mr. Walpole,
Lord J. Russell said he had no information as to the
armistice in Italy beyond what appeared in the Moniteur.
Replying to Mr. T. Duncombe,
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he should make
his financial statement as soon as the House should have
agreed as to the army and navy estimates.

On the motion for adjournment till Monday,
Mr. H. Berkeley said that he should not bring forward
any motion for the ballot during the present session, becaus
he did not wish to interfere with the business of govern-
ment, but he should not rest so long as he had a seat in the
house until he had obtained the settlement of the question-
Mr. liodgkinson called the attention of the house to the
serious inconvenience caused by the indiscriminate registra-
tion of all obligatins to the Crown, and asked the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether such registration may not, with-

out injury to the public service, be dispensed with, except
in cases of default, or expectation of default.
