BURGHS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This. Bill was read a third time and passed.
MILITIA BILL. -
The Earl of DERBY said he rose for the purpose of mov-
ing the second reading of this Bill, the importance of which
would not be denied by their Lordships. It had-already re-
ceived the assent of the other House of Parliament, after
long mid persevering discussions, by overwhelming majo-
rities, both with regard to the principle and all the details.
It was a-Bill for re-organizing and placing inn state of com-
parative efficiency the _ancient coustitutional militia forcerot II
the country, and he hardly entertained a doubt that the
principle of the Bill, at all events, would meet with the
unanimous concurrence of their Lordships.—(Hear, hear.)
In the first place there was an universal consent on all sides,
that for the more efficient defence of the country an increase
of the disposable force of 'the kingdom was necessary, and
accordingly her Majesty's Government received the assent of
the ether House of 13arliament to a resolution allowing
them to bring in a Bill to re-organize the militia. If
he were asked., whether he grounded his reasons
for bringing in this Bill on any immediate apprehensions of
attack from foreign powers, he should distinctly answer that
he did. not; Neither did he rest it upon any apprehension of any
personal hostile feelings of the Prince President of France,
bat he could not shut his eyes to the numerous changes of
Government which had taken place in France, to 'the large
class of persons in that country adverse to the came
of order and tranquillity, and actuated by a feeling of consi-
derable hostility to this country, and he felt that it would be
the height of 'folly and madness to wait for a contingency,
however remote,-of this country being exposed for the first
time for centuries to the danger of a hostile invasion.

Mr,KEOGH wished to know from the Hon. Member for

since the 2d of February.— (Hear.)
Mr. SPOONER Said the debate was not adjourned in the
first instance with his consent; but he stated last night, and
he repea'Led now that he took the division upon the question
of adjo•ernment this morning as a division upon the main
que.ti on.
Mr„• KEOGH hoped that the Hon. Member would move
that the order be discharged.

SPOOINTER -Was not prepared to take that coarse.
Mr. KEOGH—Then the Hon. Gentleman abandons the
whole concern. •
Mr. BOUVERIE protested against its being, understood
'that the division on the adjournment was to be taken as a
division on the main
.question.
• The SPEAKER here informed the House that there was
no question before it..
Mr. HAMILTONMoved that the report of the Commit-
tee of Ways and Means be brought up.
Mr. 'WILLIAMS was sorry that the, question had been
given up, and declared-his belief that the abandonment would
not satisfy the country. It was his intention, to have voted
for the inquiry, as he believed it, was the wish of the Ro-
man Catholics to have it, and he regretted that he had not
had an opportunity of voting upon the main question.
After a few words from Mr. ELLIO.T,
Mr. HENRY HERBERT insisted that the Hon. Member
"for North Warwickshire ought at once tb Move that the
order be dischargel—(Hear.)
Mr. MUNTZ said, it the Irish party sincerely wished to
have the subject brought .befere the House again, why not
arrange with his Hon. Friend the. Member for North War-
wickshire to let it come On." He believed, however, that they
were not sincere, or they would not make interminable
speeches for' the sake of delay.—(Hear,)
CoIoneI,THOMPSON' was anxious to come to a.bond fide
decision upon'this subject, as he was pledged to hia Consti-
tuents not to'Vote in opposition to the College of Maynooth.
After a few words from Mr. MANGAN and Captain
SconELL, .
Mr. SOTITERON said the character of the House was
beirig compromised by the manner in which this question,was

had assisted one of the cadidates in this way, and the House
might,form some opinion of the sincerity of the Government
when he told than that their candidates pledged them-.
selves, as public men, to support the continuance of the
Maynooth grant, and vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical
Titles Bill. 'A Noble Lord, a Member of this House, had been
sent over to contest Dungarvon, and in his address he dis-
