statetr.vnt. His reason for asking the question Iva s. that
the great majority of the Irish ktrmbPrs were not likely
to be in attendanne until four or five days sift er the
Hou,e ie-issemblcd aqer Easter.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was his intention, as soon as possible, Co malt a that
financial statement, and when the House met cig. ;in he
should probably be able to fix a day; but he wou it i take
care that fair notice was given to the Members Ire-
laud, in urder that they might be present on the• (ma*
sion.—(A laugh.)

THE MILITIA BILL.

Department when the Militia Bill would be deliver x d to
Members, and when the Government intended to pr a.aeed
with the ,eeond readi,g?
Mr. WALPOLE said he had brought down the Bill,
and tie proposed to read it a first time to-night, at ti 10
appoint the second reading for the 19th, the first day
after the rtcess.

SUPPLY.
In reply to another question from the NOBLE LORI ),
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER s aid
he propos( dat present to go into Committee of S. IP-
ply ou Menday next, when he would move t he
vote for the Kafir war. His Right Hon. Friend had stat
that on the 19,h, the day of meeting, they propesed to
t.ko the second reading of the Militia Bill.—(Chee is
anti Hear ) They did that for the purpose of facilittuit g
public toeiness, but when they attemwed to faciltta
public business they always met with opposition.
AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN CAVAN.
Sir W. YOUNG read a threatening letter, which ha d
been received by a person in the county of Cavan, sign( d
" Molly Maeguire," and inquired whether the Govern -
ment had received any information from tho police o
such threatening notices being served on parties, anti 1
also of the spread of the ribbon system in Cavan?
Mr. NAPIER said he had made inquiry into the mat- •
ter, and he found that information was received every
day from Ireland, but it was not forwarded to bim ex-
cept there was some special matter which required his
attention. He had no doubt a system of threatening
was spreading widely in Ireland, and that chore,
was a determination to establish a reign of terror is th.
country, so as to int*.rcept the rights of property; be .t
the attention of the Government was directed to tb
subject, and there were no resources at their comrade d
which they would not speedily use to put an end t 0
such a state of things.—(Cheers.)
OFFICIAL SALARIES.
Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that on Monday he ghoul,
ask if the recommendation of the halaries Committe 9
had been carried out in reference to the Chief Secretarl
for Ireland.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER coul I
answer the question now. All the recommendations ha,
been carried out, and particularly in reference to the in .
stance to which the Hon. Member referred.

NAGE.
Mr. E WART wished CO
toI i nquire of the Chancellor of?
the Exchequer whether there was a prospect of the coin ,
called the florin (of 23. value) being re-issued, espe-.
cially as a means of approximating to a decimal system
of coinage?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
her Majesty had approved of the new florin, and en
Order in Council for its coinage was agreed to on the
4th ultimo, and it was hoped that in about two months,
200,000 florins would be ready for issue to the public.
ORKNEYS.
Mr. ANDEUSON asked me o...etai I of eh. Tract-
sury why a return relative to the management of the
Crown estate in Orkney (ordered by a resolution of the
House on the 31st of July last year) had not yet been
made, and when it would be presented.
Mr. HAIIILTON apologised for the delay which had
taken place in making the return, but it was of a com-
plicated and expensive character, and would take some
little time longer to prepare it.
RAMSGATE HARBOUR.
Sir GEORGE PECHELL wished to ask the Hon.
Member fur the city of London, who had charge of the
Ramsgate Harbour Bill, whether it was intended to retain
the clauses imposing a toll on vessels passing by the
harbour,
Mr. MASTERMAN said it was the intention of the
Commissioners to retain their powers.
LORD DERBY AND MR. COBDEN.
On the motion that the House at its rising do adjourn
till Monday,
Mr. COBDEN rose and said he wished to make
an explanation to the House on a subject of
a rather . personal character. He had received
a letter from Lord Derby complaining of a
statement which he (Mr. Cobden) made the other night
when the ballot was under discussion, to the effect that
in 1835 the Noble Lord declared that if the ballot
should be carried he, as a landlord, should not be
satisfied unless he saw his tenant put his
ticket into the box at the election. The statement was
taken from Hansard, but the Noble Lord said the Mir-
ror of Parliament contained a more authentic report
of the speech which he made in the House in 1835,
and on referring to that publication, he (Mr. Cobden)
found that what the Noble Lord really said was, that
if the ballot were carried there might be some landlords
who would not be satisfied unless they saw their
servants place the ticket in the ballot-b,ie," and
believing the Mirror, of whose existence at so remote a
date he was ignorant until the Noble Lord called his
attention to it, to be more accurate than Hansard, he
begged to withdraw the statement which he made the
other night—(Cheers)—and also the strictures which he
felt called upon to found upon it.—(Cheers.) It would
appear that when the Noble Lord made
the speech reported in the Mirror, he ad not himself but some imaginary landlord
in vi h
ew,
and, therefore, in withdrawing the strictures
which he
passed the other night upon the Noble Lord, he wished
it to be understood that he did so for the purpose of
transfering them from the Noble Lord to the ima-
ginary landlords which the Noble Lord had in his mind's

miu ild BILL.
Mr. GIBSON Wished know when it was proposed
to move the s
eeond reading of the Militia Bill?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
when he he
the adjournment of the House for the
holidays he Would state to the House what arrangements
Government proposed to make with regard to the dis-
patch of private business, and of course in making those
arrangements the convenience of the House would not be
lost sight of.—(Dear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT thought the day milt to be fixed now.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
then he would fix it for Friday, the 23d of April.
VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Mr. W YLD wished to ask the Hon. Baronet the Mem-
ber for the University of Oxford and Chairman of the
Ventilation Committee, if the Committee had received a
report from Mr. Gurney on the subject of ventilating
the House, and whether anything would be done dur-
ing the recess to improve the state of the House a —(fiear.)
Sir R. 11. INGLIS said the lion. Member bad made
an extraordinary mistake. Ho was not a member of
the Committee, let alone the chairman.—(Laughter.)
Lord PALMERSTON said ho was on the Committee,
and he would take care that the question was communi-
cated to the Chairman.—(Hear, hear.)
THE DISSOLUTION.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was highly desirable
that the business of the House should be expedited in
the present state of affairs, but he could have no ob-
jection to the postponement of the Militia Bill, though
when it was read a second time he hoped it
(Hwould be pressed forward as hastily as possible.--
ear, I ear.) He was averse, because he
felt the inconvenience of such a course, to referring to
conversations which had passed elsewhere, but tbo
House must
be aware that on a former oc-
casein he induced his friends to throw no
obstacles in the way of voting the supplies, upon the
understanding that when the pressing business of the
country was disposed of her Majesty's present Ministers
would be prepared to advise an immediate dissolution.
From what occurred, however, the other night else-
where, t appeared that he and his friends had been mis-
tskeu in that understandinLr; and es no Ip.s
than 14 of.lo 000/, of the public ay..: oy in.d b. en
