(pier on the staject of our relations with Bari! and the

Spooner':! motion againt the continuance of the May-
nooth ger.nt being carrind, he would move for a return
of the moneys pout out of the Consolidated Fund for the
educstiren cl nil religious sects in Ireland, and also the

CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
In answer to a question by Mr. MOORE,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would fix the
Charitable Trusts Bill for the first day on which Parlia-
ment would re-assemble after the holidays.
THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Mr. REYNOLDS inquired of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer when he intended to niflice his financial
statement. His reason for asking the question was, that
the great majority of the Irish Members were not likely
to be in attendance until four or five days after the
House re-assembled after E:ster.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was his intention, as soon as possible, to make that
financial statement, and when the Howe met again he
should probably ba able to fix a day; but he would take
care that fair notice was given to the Members for Ire-
land, in order that they might be present on the occa-
sion.—(, laugh.)
THE MILITIA BILL.

Lord J. RUSSELL asked the Secretary for the Home
Department when the Militia Bill would be delivered to
Members, and wh©n the Government intended to proceed
with the second reading?
Mr. WALPOLE said ho had brought down the Bill,
and ho proposed to read it a first time to-night, and to
appoint the second reading for the 19tb, the first day
after the recess.
SUPPLY.
In reply to another question from the NOBLE D.'RD,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER raid
ho proposed at present to go into Committee of Sup-
ply on Monday next, when he would move the
vote for the Kafir war. Ills Right Hon. Friend had stated
that on the 19th, the day of meeting, they proposed to
take the second reading of the Militia Bill.—(Cheers
and Hear.) They did that for the purpose of facilitating
public business, but when they attempted to facilitate
public business they always met with opposition.

AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN ifAVAN.
Sir W. YOUNG read a threatening letter, which had
been received by a person in the County of Cavan, signed
" Moliy Macguire," and inquired whether the Govern-
ment had received any information from the police of
such threatening notices being served on parties, and
also of the spread of the ribbon system in Cavan?
Mr. NAPIER said he hod made inquiry into the mat-
ter, and he found that information was received every
day from Ireland, but it was not forwarded to him ex-
cept there w-s some special matter which required his
attention. He had no doubt a system of threatening
was spreading widely in Ireland, and that there
was a determination to establish a reign of terror in the
country, 60 as to intercept the rights of property; but
the attention of the Government was directed to the
subject, and there were no resources at their command
which they would not speedily use to put an end to
such a state of things.—(Cheers.)

OFFICIAL SALARIES.
Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that on Monday he should
ask if the recommendation of the Salaries Committee
had ken carried out in reference to the Chief Secretary
for Ireland.

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

COINAGE.
Mr. EWART wished to inquire 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 .CHIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
her Majesty had approved of the new florin, and an
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. ANDERSON asked the Secretary of the Trea-
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) bad not yet been
made, and when it would be presented.
Mr. HAMILTON apologised for the delay which had
Olken 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.
RAMSGATEIHARBOUR. "T)27
Sir GEORGE PECHELL wished to ask the Hon.
Member for the city of London, who has charge of the
Ramsgato Harbour Bill, whether it is intended to retain
the clauses imposing a toll on vessels passing by the
harbour.

Mr. MASTERMAN said it was tho intention of the
Commissioners to retain their powers.
LORD DERBY AND MR. COBDEN.
On the motion that tho House at its rising do adjourn
till Monday,

Mr. C01:113EN rose and said he wished to make
en explanation to the House on a subject of
a rather :personal character. Ho 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 183.5 the Noble Lord declared that if the ballot
should by carried he, as ,a landlord, should not be
satisfied unless he saw his tenant put his

imaginary landlords which the Noble Lord had in his
