some of the police were present, but neither they. nor the,
authorities had taken any steps to put an end to the riot. A.
soon as the memorial reached the Lords Justices, they
.re-
turned for answer that they had directed an immed rate
and full inquiry into all the alleged circumstances, and. that
every exertion should be made to bring the guilty parties t!)
justice—(Cheers)—and that the Government Would not fail
to call upon all those whose duty it was to preserve the peace'
to explain their conduct in the matter. —( Hear.) A cop! of tha',
answer had been sent to the Mayor of Waterford, with a reqhiw,st
that he would make any remarks upon any part of it, wch_
he might feel it necessary to do, and the Inspector Genera of
Police had received ordersto institute a most rigid in into
the conduct of the Police upon the occasion.
RATHCORMAC.
Sir F. BURDETT said there had been a notice upon the
paper ever since 1834, which had been put off from time to
time upon various grounds. He thought it very important that
it should be brought forward immediately. He therefore gav,e
notice, that soon after the recess he would move for an la tin
t
gation into the unfortunate circumstances which took place
Ireland at Rathcormac.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.)
Mr. S HEIL—WiII the Hon. Bart. name any particular

day ? It would be convenient. if
Sir F. BURDETT did not know how his papers stood:
the Learned Member would name any day he would be gia.

All he would say was, the sooner the better.
Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to' a question from Mr.
Fielden, said that he should have no objection whatever to
grant a return of the number of policemen that were sired to
Bradford, provided the names of the parties were not requ
PENSION LIST.
Sir GEO. SINCL AIR gave notice that he should, ur'
the motion for the appointment of a Committee on the Pen-
sion List, move that the name of the Hon. Member for South-
wark should be inserted, and if it appeared that there %illa
preponderance of Members who had voted for inquiry, he silo'
move that other names should be substituted, in order to make

the numbers on each side equal.
ST. PAULS AND WESTMINSTER ABBEY.,at
Mr. FLUME moved for a copy of the correspondence tn,,,
had taken place between the Dean and Chapter of St.
and the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, relative to tn°'
establishments being open to the public.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS—(ENGLAND AN
P
WALES.)
Mr. PARROTT not seeing the Attorney-General in
place begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary of Stew,
for the Home Department, whether it was the intention'
l
the Government to introduce a Bill for the reform of th
Ecclesiastical Courts in England and Wales ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it was the intention
Government to introduce such a Bill ; but, as no notice ho'
been given by the Hon. Member, he could then state when.
CATHOLICS OF NEWFOUNDLAND. 3
Mr. HUME gave notice that to-morrow he would present
a petition from the Catholics of Newfoundland, praying for
protection from the oppression which they now suffered.
Mr. HA RVE Y gave notice that to-morrow he would pre-
sent a petition from 20,000 of the inhabitants of Glasgow, °lll-
plaining of the incarceration of five of their fellow-citizens.
Mr. WALLACE wished to ask the Honourable Barone:a
the Member for Caithness, if it was his intention to pro° 'I,
with his Bill for the abolition of lay patronage in the Chore
of Scotland.
Sir GEO. SINCLAIR said it was not his intention to prlo-:
teed with the.-Bill, as the question had been taken up by t°
General Assembly.
IRISH CHURCH.
Sir G. SINCLAIR wished to ask what was the intention of
her Majesty's Ministers with respect to Ireland ?---(T°11
cheers.) When Honourable Gentlemen opposite sat ell
that (the Opposition) side of the House, nothing was heard
of but of Irish Tithes and the Appropriation Claes'''.
(Cries of " Hear hear, hear," from the Tory Benches)
but when they got into office nothing more was heat
about those topics until the closest the Session. Railroa&
bills and public measures, which when out of office Minister,"
had treated as of no importance, were pressed forward to th
exclusion of the Tithes and Appropriation questions, e:
as yet in the present Session no intimation had been give
of the intention of her Majesty's Ministers. He b`3#
lieved the reason was, that they had neither the manlineSt
to come forward with an effective measure, nor the modesty t$
acknowledge their inability.—( Cheers from the Tory Benchet,
arid laughter from the Ministerial side.) The House et
Lords had undergone every species of insult and intimOr
tion, on account of the noble stand which it had male
against the proposition of her Majesty's Government agaiast
the Irish Church. —( Cheers and laughter.) He thought nothing
could be more satisfactory to the House and elsewhere than
that her Majesty's Ministers would declare explicitly what the
meant to do with respect to Irish Tithes.—(Hear, hear.) I;l_ff
therefore took that opportunity of asking the Noble Lord, tui
Secretary for the Home Department, when would he bring tbst
question forward ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said as soon after the recess as possible'
Mr. O'CONNELL—I beg to ask whether the Hon. Merit
ber for Caithness is disposed to settle the question of hit'.
Tithes ?—( Cheets and laughter.)
Sir G. SINCLAIR—Most certainly.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. O'CONNELL—Then I can assure the Hon. WIZ
ber that the only way to settle the Tithe question, is to Satilq
the Irish people. —( Great cheers and laughter.)
The Order of the Day for Municipal Corporations (Irelanl)
Bill was postponed until Friday.
SALMON FISHERIES (IRELAND).
Mr. BARRON asked if the Chief Secretary for Ireland
was prepared to bring in a Bill this Session for regulating the
Irish Salmon Fisheries.
Lord MORPETH said it was his intention to introduce $
Bill for the regulation, generally, of the Irish sea fisheries'
but he did not mean to propose legislation oa the subject a
salmon in particular.—( A laugh.) 14
Mr. BARRON gave notice, that after the recess he would
move for leave to introduce a Bill for the regulation of thhi
salmon fisheries of the Rivers Nore, Suir, and Barrow, 11°
Ireland.
The House was for some minutes without any bushes,
before it. During this period a singular circumstance eel,
curred. A stranger—we believe a Noble Lord, a member el
the Upper House—being engaged in conversation with se
Hon. Member, unwittingly trespassed within the Bar; but
was quickly ordered to retire, by the Speaker.
RIVER SHANNON.
Sir FREDERICK TRENCH, seeing the Chancellor at
the Exchequer in his place, begged leave to ask him whether
he was about to take any steps with regard to the improve
meat of the river Shannon, and the repairing of the bridge
of Athlone ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Report relative to the river Shannon had arrived in town tbil
day. That Report would be laid on the table to-morrows
when the whole matter would be before the House, and h°
hoped the House would pay its earliest attention to the subject.
Sir F. TRENCH hoped the Right Hon. Gentletase
would take into his consideration the importance of keeping
the river Shannon in a navigable state.
MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL appeared at the bar with tb
following Message from the Crown, which the Speaker reef
the Members being uncovered:—" Victoria Regina--11by
Majesty taking into consideration the provision made
law for the support of her Royal Highness the plebe,
of Kent, her Majesty's beloved mother, recommends this sub;
ject to the care of her faithful Commons, with full confidenbc..
in their readiness to adopt such measures as her Royal Hig
ness's rank and station, and increased proximity to the Throe,
may seem to require."—( Cheers from the Ministerial Benches./
Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that he should, to-
morrow, move that the House resolve itself into a Coinnlitte,e'°
for the purpose of taking her Majesty's most gracious Messa°
into consideration.
The CHANCELLOR ef the EXCHEQUER moved frf
returns of certain Reports made by the Commissioners °I
