VENTILATION.

The Earl of WIC ICL6WWished to know if the atten-
tion of the Noble Lord opposite had been turned to the
vemilation of their Lordships' House, upon the same prin-
ciple which had answered so remarkably well in promoting
the comfort of the Members of the House of Commons.
There could be no doubt that it was as necessary that
the comfort of their Lordships should be attended to in
thiS respect as that of the Members of the other House.
Lord DUNCANNON said that he had asked Dr. Reid
the question, and be had stated that it could be done
without Any great difficulty, by the same apparatus, but
that ft would be attended with consikrable expense.
_Since that he had not spoken to the Dor about it, but
if it should be the wish of the House that it should be
done, he wgald apply his attkention to it.
The Earl of GLE NG AL L moved for copies of corres-
pondence between the Poor-law Commissioners in Ire-
land and certain Magistrates respecting the election of
Poor-law Guardians; and also copies of correspondence
between the Earl of Gengall and - Barry, Esq.,
and ethers respecting the Poor-laws. He should not enter
into a discussoa of the subject at present. He thought
the psprs he had moved for would give their Lordships
some information on the subject, and he had no doubt that
at some distant day a Select Committee would be appointed
in reference to it, and in particular in reference to the mode
of election of the Poor-law Guardians,

Lq,rd W H A RN CLIFFE made some observations in re-
ference to a Report of the Committee on the affairs
of IrelAnd, which were not audible in the gallery.
The Noble Lord wished to take the earliest opportunity
of correcting a mistake which had been fallen into in re-
ferance to a petition which he had presented last night
upon the subject of the election of Borough Magistrates.
He was represented to have said the petition was from
Doncaster in Yorkshire, whereas it was from Poole in
Dorsetshire.

Lord H A T HERTON wished to ask the Noble Lord who
bad just spoken, if he was aware of certain papers having been
published in a Dublin newspaper called the Evening Mail,
and of that paper having published the whole or parts of
the drafts that had been submitted to the Committee on
Irieh 'affairs, representing them as speaking the opinion
of the whole of the Committee. Who it was
that bad furnished that newspaper with those
documents he did not know, nor should he stop to
inquire ; but he was sure the Noble Lord must be per-
fectly aware that they were not to be taken as speaking
the sense of that Committee.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE quite agreed with what had
fallen from the Noble Lord. Those parts of the docu-
ments only were to be taken to import the views of the
individual who had published them.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH believed they were mere
abstracts.

Lord HATHERTON said that the drafts were ab-
stracts from the evidence, but that they were by no means
considered impartial.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti-
tion from a place in Ireland against any further grant to
Maynooth.
