IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS:

The Royal Assent was given this afternoon, by Com-
mission, to the following Bills:
Property-Tax Continuance.
Copyright Amendment.
Poor Relief Act Continuance.
Loan Societies.
Repayment of Advances Acts (Ireland) Amendment.
Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.
Stock in Trade.
Highway Rates.
About 50 other Bills, local and private, also received
the Royal Assent.
The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
the Earl of Lonsdale, and the Marquis of Salisbury.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack
at Five o'clock.
The Earl of GALLOWAY presented several petitions
against the Maynooth grant.
The Masters in Chancery Abolition Bill was read a
third time and passed.
Earl FITZ WILLIAM put a question to the Nob'e
Lord at the nead of the Foreign-office relative to the
cage of Mr. Mather, tie English gentleman insulted at
Florence, slid the damages awarded to him by the Tuscan
Government.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said that the amount
of damages a.sar(.ied to Mr. Mather was not so great as
Mr. Scarlett had leen directed by her Mejesty's Govern-
ment to claim, but they were o!' such an amount
as was considered equivalent to these which would
have been aw. reed by an English court.
Her Majesty's Government certainly had not considered
that that sum would be sufficient to compensate Mr.
Mather for the injuries which ho had suffered; but he
had no doubt that it weuid he found that Mr. Scarlett
had acted in the most judicious manner by accepting the
sum of 2401. which wsei awarded, especially as ttie Grand
Luke joined with that the concession of re!easing two
E glish gentlemen who had been for some time impri-
smasd at Florenes.
Lord CAMPBELL bore testimony to the very great
ablity and skill with which Mr. Scarlett, who though
only Secro:ory of Legation, had indeed for the last six
years fulfided the duties of Ambassador at the Court of
Florence, had always discharged his duties, at times
most arduous and delicate in their nature.
After a few worth from the Earl of ABERDEEN and
the Earl of MALMESBURY, who both expressed their
great approbation of the manner in which Mr. Scarlett
had always carried on the duties with which ho had
been entrusted. the suhi.et droops -%
QUA.R &Ng INE RB G-UL ATIONS.
Earl ST. GERMANS mood for copies of all corres.
ponclenco rslaing to the Sanatory Conference lately held
at Paris. The Noels Earl proc3eded at coma length to
enter into the history e` Quarantime, which he said had
first been instituted at Venice, and had not been intro-
duced into this country before 1720. With regard to
this Conference, he believed the result of it had born the
expression of an opinion that the regulations were injuri-
ous to the interests of humanity and of commerce. Think-
ing that the sue jectwas One, which required the immediate
attention of Parliament and of the Government, and with
that view ho desired to see all the information upon the
silbjcc laid upon the table of the Howe.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY agreed that this was
subject of the erestest importance to the commercial
interests, as the 1033 which was caused by these quaran-
tine regulations was enormous in a commercial point of
view. He believed that the result of this conference
would be to al-o'ish many cf the most irjarious regula-
tions, and to cquttize and &stimulate the rules of every
port.
The Earl of MALMESBURY said that her Majesty's
Government were luny cognizant of the great importance
of amending tha Quarantine regulations of Eu-
rope, hut the subject was one of great difficulty.
Tee Government had no objection to grant these papers,
although as there was now being negotiated a conven-
tion on this subj ct between France and this country—
a fact of which the Noble Lords miget not be aware—
it might be ratter unusual to produce the correspondence
before the affair was concluded.

the
Treasury if there was any intention of the mails between
London and Edinburgh being accelerated so as to eacceena
day in the course of post between the two cities, and, if
so, when such change was intended to b© carried •
into

Mr. HAMILTON said that a proposition had been,
made to the Treasury for acceLrating the mail be-
tween Londcn and Edinburgh, but it had only been re.
cently made, end he was not, therefore, prepared to say
whether it was likely to be carried into effect. An ar-
rangement had, however, been entered into by which
letters would be di:pltched to Edinburgh by the fin
o'clock Dublin mail.

Mr. STAFFORD said that there were difficulties in

oat no hope for its eoraplciion.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
Mr. OTLAHERTY wished to know if Govern-
ment intended to introduce any Bill fir calculating the
agricultural statistics of Ireland, and the value of agri-
cultural produce?
Lord NAAS said that a Bill was in nre ration en
this subject, which would shortly be before the
Howe.

Mr. SCULLY hoped it would be laid before tho House
before the General Valuation Bill was proceeded with.
lard NAAS could not make ouch a promise,

MR. MATHER,
Mr. OSBORNE sail a corresponcience relating to the
OCT of Mr. Mather had spreacid is the public
prints this morning, in which Alio Secretary of
Slate for Foreign Affairs, was represented to
have expressed himself disposed to compromise
the afTiir for 202, that being the p lice for which, in
the estimation of the Noble Lord, the life of a British
subject might be exposed to ri9l: and dmiger in a foreign
country. Now he wished to know if tnis correspond-
eLlCl was authentic.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
• that it was very inconvenient that those questions should
bopnt with on,. notice. He was not preps red to answer it.
Mt. OSBORNE gave notice that ) should call the
attention of the House to the sub,;ect a arly after Whit-
suntide.

MAYNOOTH.
Mr. REYNOLDS said the adjourrm 1 debate on the
Mayeocth grant stood No. 28 on the piper for to-night,
and he wished to know if the ILn. .alember for North
Warwickshire had coma to any undilr6tanding with the
Government es to fixing a day for re: Fuming it.
Mr. SPOONER said he had had no communication
with the Government upon the subje ei, but as when
a day, that must depend upcn what t cok place the
debate again came on.
MILITIA BILL.
Colonel ISIBTHORP wished to k arm if the Milttia
Bill would be reprinted before the third reading.'
Mr. WALPOLE said that very little alteration had
been made in the report, and there would be no neces-
sity to reprint the Bill.
PUBLIC BUSINESS.

Mr. HINDLEY said, unless some tirrangement were
come to for resuming the adjourned di Ante on the May-
nooth question he should move that the order of the
day be read for the purpose of being discharged.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he would take the opportunity of moving that
the House, at its rising, do adjourn till Thursday next,
in order that he might be enabled to st..ate what course
he thought it best to take to expedit 9 the progress of
public business.—(Hear, hear.) He a hould still adhere
to the original arrangement of pro seeding with th©
Committee on the Militia Bill on Th ureday next, but
with regard to other Bills, he had piste ed certain resolu-
tions upon the paper, for the purpose of making their
morning sittings more efficient, wbi eh would enable
them to dispose of several importan t questions, and
which he therefore hoped would recd ive the assent of
the House. Those resolutions were:— -" That whenever
the House shall sit, for dispatch of husiness, at twelve
o'clock on any day except Wednesell ty and Saturday,
if such business be disposed of nest later than three
o'clock, the House will resume its sit thig at five o'clock;
and if such business be disposed of after three o'clock
and before four o'clock, the House atill resume its sit-
ting at six o'clock. That when such busines3 has not
been disposed of at four o'clock, Mr. Speaker (or the
Chairman, in case the House shall be in Committee) do
leave the chair, and the House will 3 'esurce its sitting
at six o'clock, when the order of the day
not disposed of at the mornie g sitting, and
any motion which was under discussion at
tour o'clock, shall be set down in the Order
Book after the other orders of the day. That when
ever the House shall be in Commie :ee at four o'clock,
the Chairman do report progress ven ea the House re-
sumes its sitting. That all dropped orders of the day
be set down in the Order Book, after the orders of the
day for the next day on which tie a House shall sit.
These resolutions, if they were adopted, would render
the mot aieg sittings far more satisfaci ory than they had
hitherto been, and if they were passed, he should feel
himself at liberty to avail him self of the privilege im-
mediately after the holidays.—(Hen r, hear.) He did
not intend to interfere with the Tuesday sitting,
which was devoted to independent Mee nbers, but looking
to the present state of public business, and the advanced
period of the session, it would be necessary for him to
appeal to the forbearance of Home treble Gentleman
even on that day.--(Hear, hear.) If those reso-
lutions were assented to, he should propose, that on
Thursday they should go into Commi t tee upen the New
Zealand Bill, and that on the Motet lay and Tuesday
following they should meet at to-ely 3 o'clock to discuss
the Metropolitan Interments Biro an d the Metropolitan
Building Bill.—(Hear.) With regain 1 to the question
is which several Gentlemen had ref). rred in the course
of the evening, it was his opinion that . after all that had
taken place, it was expedient that the Maynooth debate
should be brought to an issue, and si 'ith that view he
proposed that it should be continue d this day Week
at twelve o'clock, but it would t e only on the
understanding that there would be a determination on
both sides of the House to bring ti le question to a
close on that night.--(Hear, hear.) It now only re-
mained for him to move, that the Hoet so at its rising do
adjourn till Thursday next. He shoed d take the supply
after the New Zealand debate on Fr iday.
Mr. MILES hoped, a 3 the Governatt nt had given way
in order to bring the Maynooth questii)n to an issue, if
a motion were mado to adjourn the CiA A)ate beyond Fri-
day, the public would be convinced tla at Hon. Members
opposite were disposed to take a facti. ous course for the
purpose of preventing any inquiry.
Mr. LABOUCRERE heard with. deep regret the
announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
proceedings upon the Maynooth quest ii m were utterly ir-
reconcileable with the dignity and inter, rity of the House.
and he considered that to institute an, inquiry within a
fortnight of the end of the session eras a farce and a
mockery.
Mr. SPOONER admitted that in tto a present session
the inquiry could not be brought to a satisfactory con-
clusion, but the House ought to sheer the country that
it was not unwilling to entertain an in q uiry. He denied
that he had done anything to injure t'h a charalter of the
House, though ha considered Hon. Members opposite
had done so by the factious course they had adopted.
Mr. GOULBURN thought an inquiry a was una-
voidable after what had happened; bu t as Mr. Spooner
had admitted that an inquiry could, not be properly
made this session, he suggested that :the Government
should at once institute an investigath,ou on their own
r'sPc)nsi°llitlh and report the result to the next Parlia-
ment.
The O'GORMAN MAHON proposed that the House
should sit to-morrow, and proceed continuously with the
debate from day to day until it terminated.
Mr. NEWDEGATE deprecated thti practice of a
email member of Members in the Home, taking a fac-
tious course, and endeavouring to coerce the majority.
Mr. HUME thought the Government. might put an
end to all dispute, by appointing a Commission to con-
duct the inquiry.
Mr. H. HERBERT said the spirit wnich the
discussion had been conducted would., do more in-
jury to Proteatantism in Ireland than 10.
colleges of Maynooth in treetty yearn. If the Hon
Member for North Warwickshire reallyt, wished focin-
quiry, and if the Government desired to
.stkifort
him, the Right Honourable Member for the
University of Cambridge (Hr. Goulburn) had
pointed out a course which would fully accom-
plish the desired end. He believed, however,
that the proposal for inquiry was a mere sham and de-
lusion, the object of which was to get up a cry for the
hustings.—(Cheers.)
After a few words from Mr. HOWALIZD,
Sir. B. HALL hoped if the Government were sincere,
they would carry out the suggestion of Mr. Goulburn
for the arlointment of a Commission.
Mr. REYNOLDS observed that the Members who
were so tender of the character of the House were la-
bouring under a false impression. As regarded charac-
ter and Itberelity, it was impossible for a house
to be is a worse position, and the les3 that was
said on the subject the better. It was perfectly clear
that if this inquiry was ordered to ha made by the House
the Committee could only sit for two or three
weeks, and then the subject would be buried in
the tomb of all the Capulets. They invited
and courted inquiry, but they would not consent
to a division until they dispelled the cloud that had been
thrown before the indepeudent dieters of the country.
The Hon. Member for Peebleshire, one of the Under-
Secretaries, had gone to the great emporium
of trade, Liverpool, and sounded the tocsin of
religious discord, by, telling the electors that
if they would vote for him he would support the
withdrawal of the grant to Maynoatb. The following
lines in Hudibras wore applicable to the position of that
Hon. Member
What makes all doctrines plain and clear,
Just twelve hundred pounds a year ;
And that which was proved true before,
Is proved false regain by twelve hundred more."
—(Laughter.) It was sail the grant of 12,0001. ought
to be withdrawn, but he considered that it was a mise-
rable, beggarly, and. contracted instalment of what the
people were entitled to.
