THE DINNER TO LORD C. PAGET AT CHATHAM.
Lord C. PAGET rose to call attention to a personal

pi-Ater. On Friday, at four o'clock, he attended in his
place to address the house on the subject, but as the noble
lord (Lord R. Montagu), of whose representations he be-
lieved he had good reason to complain, was not in his place
he was unable to complete his explanations. The noble
lord alleged that he (Lord C Paget), holding, as he did, an
important public appointment, had attended a dinner at
Chatham in order to induce the electors to return

his brother -in - law, Mr. Otway, at the next
election. He also said that he had gone to
Chatham, and returned by a spenal train, and that
he had charged the coat of it to the Government. The
fact was that in January last he was invited to dine with s
number of distinguished naval and military Oleos, at a din-
ner given by the High Constable of Chatham, among whom
was his gallant friend (Sir F. Smith) one of the members of
the borough. He took a return ticket, and he found the din-
ner a very good one. (Hear, and laughter.) It fell to his
lot, as the senior naval officer present, to return thanks for
the navy, and he remembered that in the course of his address
he expatiated on the fine condition of the fortress, and ex
pressed a belief that the time would come when it would
become one of the finest naval arsenals in the world. (Hear.)
As the evening wore on this worthy and magnificent mayor,
Mr. Budden, intimated that a special train had been provided
for the gentlemen desirous of staying a little later than the
starting of the regular trains. He assured the house that
no politics were introduced at the dinner ; it was the only
time he had visited Chatham, and he considered that his
conduct there in no way justified the aspersions cast upon
him by the noble lord. (Cheers,)
Lord R. MONTAGU explained—He was glad the:noble
lord had introduced no rancour into the matter ; but at the
same time the noble lord had been guilty of considerable rash-
ness. The real question was—did or did not the noble lord
act in a constitutional manner. An unnecessary fuss had been
made about what he (Lord R. Montagu) had said what could
it matter to the country about what was said in that
house by a member, who like him, had only sat three
years in it. (Oh, oh.) The noble lord (Lord C. Paget)
had trotted over his allegations very lightly like a man walk-
ing over sharp flints. (Laughter.) What he said was that
Lord Sidney had refused to appoint Mr. Budder to a
captaincy in the volunteers, on the ground that he kept a
canteen. He found by the report of the Times that he had
styled Mr. Builder a " costermonger," if so, that was a
lapetus lingua), as he did not mean to call him otherwise
than the keeper of a canteen.
The SPEAKER. said the noble lord was travelling in
his explanation beyond the rules of the house in such
matters.
Lord R. MONTAGU would, in that case, move that the

house do now adjoarn. The noble lord did not appear to
care whether he had acted legally or not. He did not say
that the noble lord had applied personally to the Lord-
Lieutenant to appoint Mr. Budden. He certainly said
that the noble lord did return by a special train, and ex-
pressed his curiosity as to how the cost would be paid, ask-
ing whether or not it was taken out of the civil contingen-
cies? But what he complained of was that he promised
the people of Chatham that their fortress should become

the largest naval arsenal in the world.
.3,,,Lurd C. I'AGET—No, no.
Lord R. MONTAGU complained that such unconsti-
tutional conduct as this would not have been permitted by
their forefathers, even on the part of the Kings and Queens
of England. The visit to Chatham might positively be
characterized as a little ministerial " mudlarking," insti-
tuted with the view of taking the electors of Chatham
by storm for the benefit of the relative of the noble lord
(Laughter.)

Sir F. SMITH spoke highly of the high character and
charity of Mr. Budden.

The matter then dropped, the motion being negatived
without a discussion.

THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.

Sir G. GREY gave notice of his intention to introduce
a bill to render bills of exchange falling due on the 7th of
March, payable on the 6th.

THE LANCASHIRE OPERATIVES AND EMIGRATION
TO AMERICA.--" Manhattan," the New York
bed, proceedingsandveopil n e
cor-
respondent of the Morning Herald, writes :—" It appears
Preston, Lancashire, that meetings are
called,
'by thousands are ready to comer to this
country. God forbid it. They will suffer misery untold
if they do. It is cruel to lead honest men astray. You
can see by proceedings already taken that innooent people
would be mobbed, if not murdered, before they had been
ashore an hour, or if the Government is able to hold New
York, the males will be seized and hurried off to the war,
as Aruericalis are now seized, and with no redress. A riot
occurred in Jersey City yesterday in consequence of it. The

sures for discouraging it. It the number of emigrants should
be as large as the number in our most prosperous years, it
will have no appreciable effect on the interests of American
labourers. The ironworkers aad shipbuilding mechanics
intend to hold a mass meeting in Tanimanp Hall tomor-
row evening to consider the subject, and also to concert
measures for the prevention.' Still, if the immense num-
ber of persons out of employ in this city should think dif-
ferently, the landing of these poor English emigrants
would be attended with horrible scenes. The advice of the
British minister or the British consul in this city, Mr.
Mr. Alexander, should be taken before the people COour
