AMENDMENT BILL.

. ---
On the motion of the Earl of LONSDALE this Bill
was read a second time.

Lord REDESDALE, pursuant to a notice, presented
a petition from an individual, complaining of the inter-
ference of the Commissioners of Excise with the sale of
a preparation of mangel wurzel or beet-root, called
booka, and praying that it may be put oa the same foot-
ing with chicory.
The Earl of DERBY said that there was no prohibi-
tion against the sale of this preparation so long as the
petitioner chose to call it by its own name; the only ob-
jection was to his mixing it with coffee and selling it by
that name.

After a few words from Lord REDESDALE and the
Earl 01 WICKLOW the petition was ordered to lie on the
table.

MAYNOOTH.

The Duke of ARGYLL rose to present several peti-
tions from Scotland against the grant to May-
moth. All these petitions proceeded on the ground
that it was morally wrong for us to grant sums of
money to support institutions for the propagation of a
religit:n which we did not believe to be the true one.
For his own part be must say that ho did not concur on
this ground for the abolition. To his mind the question
was one of policy merely. He was deeply grieved to per-
ceive the course which had been taken by the great
constituencies of Scotland on this question in exacting
pledges from the candidates now canvassing to vote in
favour of this abolition, and he considered it to be the
duty of their Lordships, placed as they were above the
necessity of mingling with, a popular constituency,
whenever they considered that the course which popular
agitation mitht take on any particular question to
be likely to be dangerous to the public policy, to enter
their protest against it.
NATIVE INDIA.

Lord MONTE AGLE rose to present a petition on
the au►'ject of the position and political rights of the
natives of India under the last Act for the renewal of the
charter.
