EMPLOYMENT OF THE POOR (IRELAND).
The Marquis of LANDSDOWPI ►tated, as the
@hose Bill had not come up from the other
House of Parliament as ass expected. he would
sieve, that the order of the day should be dis-
charged for his motion which he had given ornice
of yesterday. that the standing °Wars of their
Lordships should be suspended for passing Bills
for the purpose of passing ihe Bill through all its
stages in one day. The Noble Marquis then re-
uerred his notice of motion, and moved that their
Lordships should be summoned for to-morrosas-.

BREAKFAST POWDER.

The Marquis of LArrosposerse said, he would
take that opeortuuity of statiug why he had nut
brought faroard the question of the prosecutions
instituted by the Board of Excise against persons
for suanufecturing and selling breakfast powder
merle from roasted cairn. It was well known to
their Lordships that no measure for the repeal of
a part of a Money Bill could originate with their
Lordshipe, but au Honourable Friend of his in the
other House of Parliament would introduce the
subject there. He had received several cut/potion-
callous from persona in the country who. were sus.
der prosecutions •fur resoling breakfast powders,
or were threatened with prosecutions by the Board
of Excite. He would not occupy the time of their
Lordships by going into the merits of each indivi-
dual tear; but they were all ready to prove at their
Lordships bar, in senile( the article they had nut
been guilty of fraud. Ile was fur from thinking that
the bird of Excise ought not to have the power
of preventing uity article to 6C mixed with coffee
which was to be sold *scoffer. Ile ai►bed a clause
might be put tutu the Bill which was to be intro-
duced lit the other House of Parliament, to compel
all velitlers to put a label un the lire-Aram powder
they sold, with a full description of sir nature,
whether it was tt►anufactured buns corn or not.—
No rtuaonable man would say, that the manufac-
ture of breakfast powder from corn ut the present
moment was out highly desirable, and that It ought
nett to be eircouregnd. 'Cite power moused by
the Commis:rimier. had never beret intruded to be
given to thee► by the Legislature ; but if he was
wrong in that opiuiusi, he must say it lied been
most encauttuarly given to them by Parliament.
