he believed it would be shortly after the Whitsuntide holi-
days.

tion of the income tax.

OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH
BELGIUM
Mr. BEAUMONT gave notice of a motion this subject.
REPORT OF TH POOR-LAW INSPECTOR
(.
In answer to Mr. MAGUIRE,
Sir R. PEEL said that Mr. Horsley had made his offi-
cial report, but it would be establishing a bad precedent if
confidential communications to the Government were
made public.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked for a specific answer to his ques-
tion, namely, as to whether the report in question would
be laid on the table.

Sir R. PEEL said he would rather not produce the
document in question.
COLONEL BENTINCK.
In answer to Mr. CONINGHAM,
Sir G. LEWIS said that the retirement of Col. Bentinck
did not take place in consequence of the warrant to which
the hon. member referred. It had been usual to treat cer-
tain cases of retirement as exceptional, and the one in ques.
tion was of that character. There was no favouritism
shown to Colonel Bentinck, and on the contrary both he
and his friends were of opinion that he had been treated
with great severity in being compelled to retire. With re-
spect to Captain Robertson and his superior officer, he took
on himself the responsibility of what had taken place.

WOODS AND TRUSTS.
In reply to Mr. TORRENS,
Mr. PEEL, in the absence of Mr. Cowper, said there
was no power in the Commissioners of Woods and Forests
to sell any portion of the woods and forests which be-
longed to the Crown.
THE MURDER OF M. THIEBAULT.

In reply to Mr. SCULLY,
Sir R. PEEL said it was proposed to charge the four
townlands in the neighbourhood where the murder was
committed the expense of the police which had been sent to
the locality. Of course, as he had stated, the townland of
the murdered man's brother would be exempted from the
tax.

Mr. WHITE SIDE drew attention to the attempted mur-
der in Ireland that had been reported in the papers this
morning, and asked the right hon. gentleman (Sir R. Peel)
whether any steps would be taken to repress these murders?
Sir R. PEEL said that it was true that another attempt
had been made on the life of a gentleman in Ireland, but
he was fortunately only shot in the arm. Goveinment
were taking all the step in their power to put an end to
these crimes, and a commission would be issued between
the 15th and 20th inst.
THE INDIAN BUDGET.
Ie Lepiy tu Oh 11. IVILLOUUHBY and other members,
Sir C. WOOD said he could not pledge himself as to
when he should bring on the subject of Indian finance.
Mr. BRIGHT expressed a hope that Government would
not imitate the practice of their predecessors in delaying to
deal with important questions relating to India, and he drew
the attention of the house to the state of Lancashire, and
the anxiety that was felt in reference to any progress that
might be made in respect to the growth of cotton in India.
THE STATE OF IRELAND.
Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its ris-
ing should adjourn until that day week for the Whitsuntide
holidays.
Mr. MAGUIRE availing himself of that opportunity
appealed to the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Go-
vernment on a matter personal to himself and of great inte-
rest to the people of Ireland. He had been ten years in
that house, and nobody could accuse him of making delibe-
rately a false statement. From time to time he had brought
forward, with pain and humiliation, the subject of the pre-
sent distress in Ireland. The hen, member then urged upon
the noble lord to produce the report of Mr. Horsley, in
order to satisfy the feelings of Irish members who concurred
with him as to the distress prevailing in Ireland.
After some observations by Mr. Scumoc,
Lord PALMERSTON said that he had not seen the re-
port of Mr. Horsley, but he would look into the document,
and if there was nothing objectionable in it ho woutliel
on the table, or if otherwise he would direct the substance
ffard to some
of it to be submitted to the house. With

he wished to state that the Government felt bound to un-

gaged in tracing out the persons engaged in the recent
murders in Ireland, a commission would shortly be issued.
He referred with pleasure to the fact that these murders in
Ireland had nothing whatever to do with dissatisfaction
towards the Government, and he was happy to hear it
stated in the course of the conversation that a great number
of Olga Pnman Catholic laity in Traland a prirnvari of itka

The motion for adjournment was subsequently agreed to.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.
On the order for going into committee of supply,
Mr. ROEBUCK put a series of questions in reference to
the change of name by a Mr. Jones, of Clytha. The hon.
member stated that Mr. Jones had assumed the name of
Herbert without a Royal licence ; and that in consequence
the Lord Chamberlain had refused to permit him to be pre-
sented in that name at Court, the Horse Guards had refused'
to sanction his appointment to the militia, and the 11?_nr.
Secretary had declined to ask the Lord Chancellor to.. i*
