STATES.

Sir G. BOWYER asked the First Lord of the Treasury
what were the proofs of a statement that there exists at
Rome a committee of no less than 200 persons by whom
bands of murderers were organised, and sent forth into the
Neapolitan territory to commit every sort of atrocity; and
whether he would lay upon the table any official correspon-
dence or other documents in support of that statement ?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that ho had no positive
proof that the statement ho made the other evening war
correct, bat he had every reason to believe that it was based
upon facts. He had no documents to lay on the table.
From time to time he was in the habit of receiving infor-
mation about men and things in various parts of the world
—(hear, hoar)—but if he were to state publicly the names
of his informants, he should know as little about such
matters as the hon baronet himself. (Laughter.) But he
could on this occasion adduce an authority from whom
the hon. baronet could easily obtain information with re-
spect to the doings of the Bourbon committee sitting at
Rome. On Monday, the 3d of the present month, a cer-
tain father, Conchi, preached at Rome by request of the
Archbishop of Naples, before the ex-King of Naples,
his Court, and a large Bourbon congregation.
The priest reproached the assemb,y with making
promises of money to and issuing inflammatory ad-
dresses among: ignorant and excitable people, in order
to induce them to commit acts of pillage and
murders in Southern Italy, whilst they would not furnish
the smallest coin for the relief of the poor of the Imperial
city. (Hear, hear.) If the hon. baronet would communi-
cate with Father Conchi, no doubt he would obtain tho
most accurate information with respect to whom the Bour-
bon Committee sitting at Rome consisted, the aims it had
in view, and the system they did not hesitate to enforce.
(Hear, and laughter.)

TAXING THE CHARITIES OF IRELAND.
Mr. BLAKE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he intended withdrawing Resolution 18 in Ways
and Means, relative to imposing legacy duty on bequests
intended for charitable purposes in Ireland ; and, if not, on
what day after theWhitsuntide recess ho would be likely to
move the said resolution.

Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that as the Government had withdrawn its proposed plan
to impose the income tax on English charities, they did not
intend to persevere with it in regard to the charities of Ire

land. (Hear, hear.)

quartermasters of the army; and to move for correspon-
dence relating thereto.
