first time.
The Irish Election Expellees bill, and the M.A..treindis
Gas-light bill, were the hrongitt up from the I:amnions,
Willi the amendments agreed to.
'1 he Charitable Lands Exchange bill, and the Justices
of the Peace Regulation bill, were read the second time.
The Earl of COVENTRY presented a petition from
Tewkesbury, prating for revision of the criminal laws.—
Petition laid on the table.—Adjourned.
"ULSDAT, JUNE 'l9.
Counsel were heard in the Strathmore Peerage cause,
and further proceedings postponed to Tuesday.
The London 14 harls Bill was read the second time.
SLAVE 'flt.C;,t.— The Marquis of LANSUOWN post-
poned his motion respeciitig tlie foreign slave trade to
Monday next.
Earl DARNLEY, in consequence of the absence of a
noble earl (Liverpool), postponed his motion on the state
of the navy until Tuesday next.
STartots Elia IN fact (NlL—Earl DARNLEY then rose
pursuant to to call the attention of the house
the huproper conduct of pet SODS connected with the sta-
tionery its Ireland. He considered the subject of lucre
than ordinary importance. He rigretted that he was
obliged to use personal observations, !nit it was his duty
to bring what be considered a very strong case before the
house. luis object was to induce their lordships to con-
sider how tar it was their duty to put an end to unneces•
sary enormous expence, occasioned by a monopoly inju-
rious to i!:e public. The noble earl then entered into a
statement ortitc right of the patentee, Alderman King.
He did not impute ti. that individual any fiend, but there
must have been culpable ),,:gligence. He haul DO doubt
Mayor of Dublin give his Majesty in Ire-
land a watt NUJ Irish reception. The indidual might be
the leader of a party, but the pi:,,:e hail (111,014 sue'
fermi by the monopoly lie held, and pa. haimmt ought to
eumaider whether it would poi be expedient do it away.
The noble earl roiteluded by moving a resolutio.l', stating
that the individual vs to claimed the right by pats."fit to
supply the ollices in Ireland tt ilk stationery, had receiv:"tl
in the last ten y eats the sum of 22!';,6001. of the public ,
money, ninkieg au average of 35,1591. and a fraction per
annum. Charges of fraud having been made against per-
cons in the stationery department, the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland directed inquiry, and the result was, that the
patentee was declared unfit to supply the stationer 7.—
Notwithstanding that deception the government offices
were still supplied by the same patentee. It also ap.-
peered by a letter from Mr. James Rae, hest clerk in the
stationery office, that paper of interior quality had been
supplied, the price paid for the best quality.
After the resolution had been lead,
Viacoaut SIDMOUTH said, it was true that a man of
the name of Fox, employed by Alderman Bradley King,
the patentee, had committed frauds, which timid not
have gone on, it' the officers of excise had done their
dusty. The Lord Mayor of Dublinhad prayed to have his
coil-duet investigated by the legal tribulials. The Lord
Lieutenant had also thought it incumbent ott him to cause
inquiry into the subject, which bad led to legal investi-
gation; therefore the noble lord could :tot attach any
blame to the Irish government. With respect to the fraud
there was no proof at all. ']'here might be abuses, but
the public did not sutler. Restitution was made, and the
noble earl had no right to assume a fraud hail been com-
mitted until it was proved. The noble viscount did out
wish to detain the house. He did not think there was
any impeachment of the integrity of Mr. Bradley King.
The second charge, relating to the prices of paper, was
under legal investigation, and if it should tutu out against
Mr. Bradley King, lie would cease to be the patentee.—
The noble viacomit concluded by moving the internals
questam.
The Marquis of L%NSDOWN felt some satisfaction
from the last assurance of the noble viscount, but lie
could not admit that the public had not suitrered. The
public had suffered to au indefinite degree. l'ite
by being obliged to take stationery from the alderman,
at his own price, had lost considerable sum:. Ile had a
paper in hit 11411 d, which proved, that paper supplied by
the ordinaty stationers, at 11. per ream, had been supplied
by the alderman at 71. Mi. Bradley King had uu right to
smell acquitted tor serving the politic with paper of a
quality be should not have supplied. It was not a prin-
ciple of justice to excuse him on the ground of negligence
on the part of the excise officers. When they asked why-
titer the officers had beets dismissed (tom their places,
they weir told tau—breause it was the fault of Mr. King.
The public by such et:reeve were 1114dt. the victims of lung
priataeled and extensive inalversation. It' the law was
eitfoiced strictly titian humble and übseme offenders
against the excise laws, it was bin justice to enforce them
also against the distinguished and opulent found guilty of
peealation. lie supported the mutton ut his noble friend,
and was happy to bear inquiry was guing on respecting
the charge oh' a systematic plan to supply the public with
an inferior article at the highest price.

tify city act Mr. Bradmy King might have committed by
the negligence of the tact.e tithe. is, but lie said, Mr.
King t usint nut have gout on bad the officers of excise

On the motion of Viscount SID tIOUTH, the Irish insolvent
debtors hill was read the third time and passed.
Cni storm. LAIVS.TIIC Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose
on the second reading of the bill w ameud the law applicable to
denting in dwelling houses. The crime of privately stealing in
the dwelling house was punished, as the law SLOW, with death.
That penalty ran counter to public opinion ; it was considered
too severe,nuil in several instances persons had neglected to pro.
secute because they knew conviction must lead to capital punish-
ment. The noble marquis concluded his argument in support
of the bill by moving the second reading.
The LORD CI I ANC ELLOR expressed an opinion adverse
to the bill. Ills lordship knew how dangerous it was to alter
the criminal laws. In MOO cases of stealing in the dwelling house,
no person could say the puni.liment ought not to be death.
The Earl of CA RNAIt VO N supported the bill.
Viscount,SlD MOUTH said it would be unwise to decrease the
rigotous character of the law. The effect of capital punishment
recent case of street robbery had lessened that offence SO
much, that the judges at the old bailey sessions had tried Yeti'
few prosecutions of that description. He did nut th" 7. pass the

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
zeOrIDAY, JUNI: IS.
A petition from Yarmouth was presented against the
Extra l'ost bill
Mr. GOOCH presented a report from the Agricultural
etezninittee which was tottered to lie on the table, and to
d
be pi i ed.

Duties' bill be read a second 'Ames
Lord BELGEIAVE prinesteas against the bill.
Mr. LUSHINGTON desired ;bat the bill should be
read a second time to-day, that the house might see what
it really was ; and he should then pro Vona that it be cuin-
mitted en Friday.
Sir F. BURDETT moved, as an smehdment, that the
bill be read a second time this day six n.tontba He was
against any extension of the odious power of the Elam.
Mr. W.SMITH spoke to the same effect;' however, he
was not particularly against a duty on tointecil ; but would
it be believed, that what was worth and what "II sd• was
taxed to the amosiut of 4s. %—( Hear.)
Mr. HOBHOUSE spoke of the vexatious ch. tranter of
the bill. He knew one person who bad sold million
pounds of tobacco in pennyworths. He should support
the amendment of his %surlily colleague..
Sir IL WILSON naked whether the right lion. genii til'443
iippoNite, in the event of the bill being allowed to go hit°
a committee, would then permit the bill to stand over .'lit
next session.? _

Ike gallery was cleared for a division, as Sir F. Burdett
would not a ithdraw his amendment unless Mr. Lushingtou
would pledge himself to withdraw the bill for the present
session. The numbers were—Ayes, is—Noes, TS—Ma-
jority in favour of the bill, 32.
Mr. LOCKHART presented a petition from a merchant
of London, regarding the employment of British aud FO.
reign Shipping.
LONDON 8R1DGE....-71r. H. SUMNER asked, in the
event Many measures being adopted fur the building of a
new bridge, where London-bridge now existed, if due
mince would be giver, ?
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, he hoped all proper notices
would be given. The bridge might he reimilt, he was
persuaded, without any new impost being imposed on the
public.
AGRICULTURAL Hottsli TAX.—Mr. CUItWEN moved,
that the house go into a committee on the Agricultural
Horse Tax Repeal bill. He was glad to learn that the
imuisters did nut iuteud to continue their opposition to
the bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
although he telt bound to obey tile decision mat had been
come to by the house, he still retained his former o; • i •• Mu.
Mr. BIRCH asked whether any new tax was to be On-
puled, instead ul the tax now to be repealed.
Lord LONDONDERRY said it would be fallacious to
hold out to the country that this repeal would atford any
effectual relief. It would, however, be proof of the sym-
pathy of the house with the situation of the country, that
the house did feel with the country ; but as to any !hillier
burdens, he was prepared to say that the repeal would be
unaccompanied by the imposition of any fresh burden.
Mr. HAIONCi expressed a hope that those who bad
really been relieved would nut limeafter conic forward
alto say that it was of no advantage. The defeat that the
Chaucellur of the Excheipier bad sustained resulted from
his nourishing description of the finances, talking about
4,0000101. of sinking fund that no where existed. The
tate bud awaited I that sometimes betel those who
talked notch of their wealth—they were sometimes at-
tacked by thieves in the night.—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. S WORTLEY said, had lie been In the house he
should have supported the motion for the repeal.
Lout MILTON trusted it would nut hereafter be said
that the lauded interest was nut suftieiently represented
in that house ; but lie trusted that it would be deemed
right to show the manufacturing interests that their wel-
fare was not ueglected. He hoped that many months would
nut elapse before something would be doue to protect
Muse manufacturing interests, as well as all the interests
of the country, which could only be done by ecoutnny.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. GOOCH thought the noble lord was wavering, as
used, between the agricultural and the manufacturing
interests; he hardly knew how to bestow his sweets.
After some further conversation, it was agreed to post-
pone the further stave uf the bill till Wednesday next.
Visas us LLARLAUL.....OII use IDQUIVII that DIC report

on the subject of an increase to the Date of Clarence's
income of 6,1)001 a year, and of paying up arrears
amounting to 18,0001,, be brought lip,
Mr. CUUWE expressed himself against the grant
altogether, and proposed that it be brought up this day
three months.

The house divided on the original motion for bringing
up the report. The numbers were—Ayes, l•ti—Noes, IK
—Majority, 1'26.
The report was then brought up and read.
On the resolution that there be an addition of 6,00JL a
year to the income of the Duke of Clarence,
Mr. HUM E spoke against it, and concluded with pro-
posing, that the snot be reduced to 3,5001.
Mr. MOORE supported the propriety of such reduc-
tion, observing, that all the royal family were already
provided most elegantly and liberally.
After some remarks from Mr. Caleraft, Mr. Creevey,
&c. the honse divided on Mr. Iltime's amendment—Fur
tbe 50—For the origins! mottos', 167.
On the question for granting the 18,0001. arrears,
!►fir. BERNAL objeeted to that grant as not coining
regularly biAre the house. In the present state of the
country, he could not consent to give the arrears, although
he did not oppose the intoned allowance to the royal Duke.
Lord LONDONDERRY said, the objections of the
Icon. member originated in the company of late. The
18,0001. now proposed to be paid to his royal highness
could not be considesed as arrears, hut as a vote founded
on a grant foe inerly made by parliament. llis royal
highness, notwithstanding all his economy, Mond it im-
possible to live within the bounds of his income as it stood
at present. lie had wished and endeavoured to do so ;
but finding it impossible, it was tint equitable that the
house should step in and save his royal highness from ha-
fering inconvenience by his 'endeavours to save the public
purse.
Mr. Curw•en and Mr. R. Williams also objected to the
vote.

After some further discussion, the house divided on Mr.
Bernal's amendment to omit the arrears—Fur the amend-
ment, til—For granting the arrears, 13I—Majority in
favour of the motion, 50.
The house then proceeded to resolve itself into a com-
mittee of supply, and to discuss the Irish estimates.
Mr. C. GRANT moved that the sum of 10,0001. be
granted for the suppot t of the society for promoting edu-
cation among the pour in

Mr. BECliElt expressed his wish that the money now
called tor ought to he devoted for the education of the
poor. without distinction of sect.
Mr. C. GRANT cautioned the house not to attach to
persons who were acting gratuitously, conditions which it
was quite impossible that they should ever accept.
Sir J. NEWPORT expressed himself strongly in fa-
♦our of extending the aid of ili legislature to the gra-
tuitous exertions of such individuals as were anxious to
diffuse the blessings of education among the pourer classes
of Ireland. He likewise remarked, that wherever any
attempt had been made to interfere in the matters of re-
ligion, it had invariably counteracted the attempt to
promote the cause of education in Ireland.
Mr. HUME observed, that though there were many
societies in Ireland whose object was to give education to
the poorer orders of the Protestant population, there was
none instituted for the education of the lower orders of
the C•tthotics. This society was therefore established
with a view, not of promoting education amongst the
members of every sect. The plincipirs, however, on
which it had been originally established, had not been
strictly observed; fir it determined not to give assistance
to any school in which the Bible without text or comment
was not read. Now that determination amounted to a
virtual exclusion of the Catholics from the benefit to be
derived from the funds of this institution.

After a few remarks from Mr. Grattan, Col. Barry, and
Mr. :Becher, the question was then put, mid the resolution
carr. c'l•
Mr. C. GRANT proposed a vote of 7,0001. for the Dub-
lin 800. sty, VI hicls was agreed to.
The n, resolution was 9,2301. fur building churches
and glebe ;souses.
sir J. NEt VPORT maintained that the first fruits' fund,
if properly udi.'tini.•tered and collected, was sufficient for
the purpose oft his resolution. In the ensuing session, lie
again gave notice that he would move for a committee on
the subject. It might to amount to 20,0001. a year, in-
stead of remaining us it was as far back as the reign o►
Elizabeth. . . . .

Mr. HUME expre eyed his intention to divide the com-
mittee on this grant, •'a he thought it wholly unnece.sary
after the last vote.

After a few words from Mr. S. Rice, Col. Barry, and
Mr. C. (*rant, the commitiee divided—Fur the resolution,
48—Against it, I 1-I,olajoriti ST .
The next resolution was 11,0001. for enlarging and
widening the streets of Dublin•'
The resolution was agreed to.
A resolution of 2,5001. for the farming society of Ire-
land was passed without remark.
Mr. C. GRANT having moved 784. for certain public
officers in Ireland for making out returiis to pal liament,
Mr. 1119 ME objected to the principlt's of the grant,
alleging that these " certain public officers" were already
paid considerable salaries.
Mr. C. GRANT mentioned the amount of the emolu-
ments of set eraL

Sir J. NEWPORT resisted the vote on the ground that
the time of these officers was the tune of the public. and
that they ought to make out these returns in England
without any additional remuneration.
Tue Chancellor of the Exchequer supported the grant,
and Mr. 144iikes opposed it.
Mr. HUME moved that the Chairman report progress.
Mr. HUSKISSON recommended that the vote should
be withdrawu, as lie thought it objectionable in principle.
Mr. Grant consented to withdraw it, cud Mr. Hume
did nut persist in Its motion that the chairman report
progress.
The next resolution was 14,0001. for the Irish Board of
Wu' ks.
Mr. iIUME required some explanation regarding the
office of inspector of civil buildings.
Mr. C. GRANT said that his duties regarded buildings
iu and near Dublin.

The resolution was then carried.
The sum of 1ti,7001. for printing and stationery for the
secretary's office was agreed to.
Mr. F. PALMER said It well quite impossible at that
late hour to proct•ed fm tiler with these estimates. It was
Hear oise o'cluck, and the proper attention could out pas-
*iirly be paid to them at such an hour.
