on his motion with respect to Brazil.

BURNING OF QUEEN'S COLLEGE, CORK.

Mr. HENNESSY asked for some information with re-
spect to this event,
Sir R. PEEL considered that no advantage would be
gained by re-opening the matter. The house had already
voted £3,000 for the building, and £1,500 for the fittings.
Col. r RENCH said, but for the vote of the Government,
the city of Cork would have had to bear the whole expense
of erecting the new building and fitting it.
Lord FERMOY said the Government deserved great
praise for the prompt and liberal conduct in the matter.
'rho Government were in possession of documents testify-
ing that the accusations made against those entertaining
ultramontane doctrines, that they set fire to the college,
were utterly and entirely false. The Government ought to
let the truth be known. If not the matter could not be al-
lowed to rest.

SUPPLY.
The house then went into Committee of Supply.
The first vote was £3,750 for the ecclesiastical commis-
sioners, which was agreed to.
The next votes agreed to were—
£lo,9l7, for temporary commissions.
£17,015, for compensation and superannuation under the
Law Amendment Act.

procity.

£1,920, for salaries of inspectors of corn returns.
£BOO, for adjusting boundaries of counties and parishes in
Ireland.
£686, for electric telegraph between Malta and Alexan-
dria.
On the vote £23,455, for the precarations for the celebra •
tion of the marriage of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales,
Mr. F. PEEL intimated, in reply to Mr. A. Smith, that
it was not usual to charge the Civil List of her Majesty
with extraordinary expenses of this nature.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained
that the death of the Queen Dowager, and in cne year of
the Duchess of Kent and the Prince Consort threw some
heavy charges, on the part of their servitors, on her Ma-
jesty, which, being addressed to her liberality and affec-
tion, were responded to with extraordinary liberality.
Thus no charge, which would have been justifiable, had
been made on the country. (Hear, h(ar.)
Mr. W ILLIAMS thought that the revenues of the
Duchy of Cornwall should have been charged with this
outlay.
Sir G. GREY supported the vote. He was
satisfied the country would not object to the payment of
this sum out of the public purse. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. SMITH said he believed there was a balance of
£B,OOO in hand, which should have been made available,
Mr. WALPOLE deprecated inquiring into the mode in
which her Majesty expended the money voted to her for
the maintenance of her state and dignity.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY objected to the opening of the
theatres at the public expense.
Sir G. GREY said the precedent of her Majesty's mar-
riage was followed.
The vote was agreed to.
The next votes agreed to were—
On the vote of £3,781 to defray certain charges formerly
made under the head of civil contingencies,
Mr. C. JERVOISE deprecated the expenditure on ac-
count of the vaccination of sheep because of its utility. He
moved that £434 10s, in respect to examining sheep and
experimenting thereon be disallowed,
Sir R. PEEL explained that the Government had deemed
it well to appoint inspectors in various parts of Ireland,
After some discussion the vote was withdrawn.
TIIE BRITISH MUSEUM.
Mr. WALPOLE then proposed the remainder of these
votes. He said the vote for the previous year amounted to
£99,012; this year it stood at £90,541, exhibiting a dimi-
nution of £8,471. We thus had already voted £25,000, and
he now proposed that the vote of £65,541 should be granted.
The right hon. gentleman explained the nature of the vari-
ous branches of the expenditure. The right hon. gentle-
man the member for Buckinghamshire (Mr. Disraeli) had
been elected.. to fill the vacant trusteeship.
