BOGS IN IRELAND.

The Duke of WELLINGTON (on the question
that the
,Bill for draining bogs in Ireland be com-
mitted) considered many of the details objectionable,
especially the powers given to the Commissioners.
He hoped, that the Noble Marquis who promoted the
'measure would consent to defer the Committee until
Monday.
The Marquis of DOWN SHIRE consented, and
the Comniittee was postponed accordingly.
The House then resumed the examination of wit-
nesses on the East Retford Bill.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(LAST NIGHT.)
Mr, HOME DRUMMOND moved the re-com-
mittal of the Clyde Navigation Bill.
Mr. C. W. W. WYNNE thought it would not be
fair, after a Committee had found that the allegations
were not proved, to proceed to the re-commitment
`of.the Bill: •
Colonel. WILSON thought the matter ought to
be postponed.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM observed, that there
could be no doubt great public advantage would arise
from- the Bill. • The present case Would form a pre-
cedint, and-therefore ought to be gravely considered
he was of opinion that it should not be aent
,
back thi original Committee.
After • a -few words frOm Mr. O'Connell, Mr.
llttisda, Mr. Littleton, Mr. Sykes, Sir R. Inglis,
.Mr:-Kennedy, and Mr. C. W. W. Wynne,
. Sir• T. D. !ACLAND wished to learn from the
Chair the practice-.of the House—if they should in
! the ulterior proceedings on a Bill discover that the
•!Cominitteee had found the preamble proved on in-
- sufficient evidence, or-contrary to evidence, whether
the House was in the habit of rejecting the Bill
altogether, 'or of-re-committing it ?
The SPEAKER—The House was aware that
this was the Silt time such a question had arisen
final the appointment of the present Standing
.Order. The ordinary course of the House, he ap-
prehended, Was'at once to dispose of the Bill ; and,
therefore, • the question was, whether they would
adopt the opinions of the Appeal Committee or not ?
If they did not adopt that opinion, then there was
na ground for a 3T-committal ; if they disapproved
of that. opinion (never having given out of theii
hands the right of finally deciding), they would,
= after a full consideration and inquiry, make a nul-
lity of the report of the Committee, and re-commit
the Bill.. But a suggestion had been thrown out,
that if they re-committed the Bill, it ought to be a
new Cotumittee For that. there certainly was no
precedent, and though the HoUse had frequently de-
cided for a re-commitment, it had always re-com-
mitted to the same Committee —(Hear.)
Mr. H. DRUMMOND replied.

After a few words from Sir G. CLERK, the
gallery was cleared for• a division, but during our ab-
sence, we understood the motion was withdrawn.
