The clause was agreed to, as were 33 and 34.
In the 35th clause Mr. HAMILTON proposed as an
amendment to insert words to the effect—" Provided al-
ways that nothing in this Act contained shall be construed
to extend to exercise any control over the Governors of
the Foundling Hospital of Dublin, or over the management
thereof."

Mr. O'CONNELL thought the case of the House of
Industry was one of a peculiar nature, and afforded proof
of this wholesale legislation. That institution received
20,0001. a-year ; this would be taken away and be placed
in hands •f Commissioners, for which the Dublin people
would be taxed.

Mr. Sergeant JACKSON having said a few words,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had hoped that all parties had agreed to the principle of
putting down the Foundling Hospitals ; but as to Houses
of Industry, the permanent support of these places was
from the public.

Mr. RICHARDS differed from those gentlemen who
thought that the application of Poor-laws to Ireland
would have the effect of drying up the sources of pri-
vate charity in that country. Poor-laws had had no such
effect in England.

Mr. O'CONNELL had the best authority for stating
that the mere anticipation of the introduction of Poor-
laws into Ireland had already had the effect of materially
diminishing the funds of the Mendicity Society in Dublin.
After some further discussion the amendment was with-
drawn and the clause agreed to.
Mr. O'CONNELL then moved that the Chairman re-
port progress, and ask leave to sit again on Thursday next.
Mr. BARRON thought that they might with great pro-
priety go on for another hour.

- The question, however, being put, was agreed to without
a division, and the House resumed.

THE PRISON DISCIPLINE (SCOTLAND) BILL.
On the motion of Mr. FOX MAULE, the Bill was read
a second time, and was referred to a Select Committee.
THE BUDGET.

Mr. BORTH WICK asked the Right Hon. Gentleman
the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he could give any idea
as to the time when the financial statement for the year
would be brought forward?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that it would necessarily depend on the progress of the bu-
siness before the House.

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House was counted out, on the motion of Mr. Baines,
at a Quarter-past Twelve.

REGISTRATION OF DEATHS.

We, the undersigned, president of the Royal College of
Physicians, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, and
master of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, having
authority from the several bodies whom we represent, do
resolve to fulfil the the intentions of the Legislature in pro-
curing a better registration of the cause of death being
convinced that such an improved registration cannot fail to
lead to a more accurate statistical account of the prevalence
of particular diseasos, from time to time.

We pledge ourselves, therefore, to give, in every instance
which may fall under our care, an authentic name of the
fatal disease.

And we entreat all authorized practitioners throughout
the country to follow our example, and adopt the same
practice, and so assist in establishing a better registration,
in future, throughout England ; for which purpose we in-
vite them to attend to the subjoined explanatory statement,
in which they will see set forth the provisions of the recent
statute, and the means whereby the important object we
have recommended, may most effectually he attained.
