EVENING,

sation like the present. Ho suggested to the douse and
the Hon. Gentleman to put an end to the discus-ion,
and to tie come dsy when they met at the usual hour.
Mr. HOR,SMAN thought the matter ought to bo
set-
tied before they adjourned. The Reiman Catholic Mem-
hers were now, after the speech of the lion. Member for
North Warwickshire, most anxious to have the question
fully discussed, and it was only fair to them that an
op-
portunity should be afforded them. The Government
might well say that the question could not, with shy
convenience to public business, be now discussed, or they
ought to fix early sittings every day until it was dis-
posed of. If not, let the order be at once discharged.
Mr. EDWARDES wanted to know what grounds the
Hon. Member for Athlone had for stating that the Hon.
Gentlemen who hid motions before the adjourned de-
bate, would postpone them?
Mr. KEOG-iI rose, but was met with cries of " Order,"
" Chair," and cries of " Youghal."
Mr. ANSTEY also rose, but could not obtain a
hearing.
Mr. PORTAL said, if Hon. Gentlemen opposite were
sincere, they would at once assent to his proposition. He
proposed that they ought to divide at once.—(Oh, oh.)
Mr. SCULLY said it was most unfair to ask his side
of the House to go to a division, when only two Roman
Catholic Members had spoken on the subject. Ho
thought the Government cught to give them an entire
day to discuss the question.
Mr. ANSTEY rose amidst cries of " spoke." He
merely wished to explain. The Hon. Member for Lam-
beth distinctly stated that he would not stand in the way
of the House resuming the debate. The Noble Lord the
Member for Middlesex had also agreed to give way.
Mr. SPOONER was unwilling to put the House to
any inconvenience. It was said ho did not wish to bring
forward the question, but he distinctly denied that. If
the Right Hon. Gentleman would assure him that they
would give him a day, he would postpone it to any day
they might fix. If not, be would take the sense of the
House new on the sitting at twelve o'clock.
Mr. WALPOLE had hoped the question would have
been settled on Tuesday last, and the Government had
not now a single day to spare to get through the ordi-
nary business of the session. The motion, be must say,
was neither brought forward by, nor encouraged by, the
Government, and they had nothing to do with the mo-
tion beyond what any individual member had—namely,
to pronounce an opinion, and he denied the right of any
Hon. Member to call upon the Government to give a day
on the eound that it was a Government question. He
hoped it any day could be fixed that the debate would
then be brought to a close, but at present he certainly
could not name any day.
Mr. H. HERBERT had a motion on the subject, and
he certainly would not press it, although he did not
hesitate to say that the object of that motion was to
quash an idle and mischievous motion, that ought never
to have been brought forward in that House. He did
not think there were ten sincere men in that assembly
but that nearly all of them ware heartily sick of it.
Mr. REYNOLDS said the only sincere Member in
the House was the Hon. Member for Halifax, who said
that his constituents were deeply interested in it, and he
was anxious to be able to tell them that he had voted
for the inquiry into Maynooth. He congratulated Hon.
Gentlemen opposite on the dissolution of partnership
between the lion, Member for North Warwickshire and
the Government. To repeat the phrase of the Right
Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Eechequer ap-
lied to the late Sir R. Peel's Government, the present
position of affairs was nothing less than "a re-organised
hypocrisy." The Irish Members did not want to divide
—they wanted to speak, and they would put the op-
posite party on their trial, and convict them of rank ,
and unadulterated bigotry and hypocrisy. If the Com-
mittee was granted to-morrow they could not :let, and
he was then entitled to call it a rank unadulturcd hy-
pocrisy.
Mr. MILES regretted the tone and temper the de-
bate had assumed. The Government was placed in a
peculiar position. They wanted a day, and if the mat-
ter was postponed to the end of August, a day must be
had. The Protestant feeling of the country required
ite, fie proposed to postpone the debate till that
day, and then let the Government be prepared to name
a date. The question must not be blinked, and the
country required that it should be fully and entirely dis-
cussed.
Mr. FRESHFIELD consented to withdraw his mo-
tion for the meeting of the House at twelve o'clock,
which was agreed to.
On the motion that the debate be adjourned till five
o'clock,
Mr. ANSTEY objected, until the Ministers had made
up their minds whsa day should be fixed for resuming
the debate.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but at the
suggestion of the O'GORMAN MAHON, Mr. An-
stey's opposition was withdrawn, and the motion was
agreed to.
A new writ was ordered for Huntingdonshire, in tho
room of George Thornhill, E,q., deceased, and
The House adjourned at Three o'clock.

DIAMOND DUST.
(From Eliza Cook's Journal.)
Ho who possesses a susceptible heart has an inex-
haustible mine of sweet emotione..
To form an opinion of human nature from a perusal
of history, is like judging of a fine city by its sewers
and cesspools.
Self-indulgence takes many forms., and we shouldbear
in mind that there may be a sullen sensuality as welle as
a gay one. th© horizon.
cunning after happiness is only chasing
Kindness pains more than cruelty when it is given
instead of love.
Many men have the materials of happiness placed
within their reach, but not one in I tau knows how to ma-
nufacture anything out of them ex x-;ept ennui.
A presentiment of coming glad'riess is the summit of
terrestrial iolicity.
Love can excuse anything except meanness, but mnn-
ness kills love, sad cripples even natural affection.
