commissioners ; from several places against the
Parochial Assessment Bill, in favour of the Consolida-
tion of the Law Statutes; by Mr. Scully, from the
county Cork, praying for an amendment of the Irish
Poor Law ; by Mr. Bright, from Birmingham,
signed by persons connected with the corn trade, praying
the house to order the collection of agricultural statistics in
England, Scotland, and Wales ; and also from Ashford, in
the county of Kent, for the repeal of the duty on hops.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Mr. B. COCIIRANE gave notice that on Tuesday, the
29th inst., he would draw the attention of he house to build-
ings erected for the public service during the last 20 years,
and to move for a commission to inquire whether more
economy might not be introduced into the construction of
such buildings in future.
IRISH WORKHOUSE OFFICERS.
Mr. BLAKE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether he intended during the present session to take steps
to carry out the recommendation of the Select Committee
of last session on Irish Poor Laws, with reference to grant-
ing superannuation to workhouse officers
Sir R. PE EL said that last year the report of the com-
mittee was received, and it was sanctioned. by Government
that a bill on the subject should be introduced, but as a
separate bill. He could not, however, say when that bill
would be brought forward.
LUNACY REGULATION BILL.
Mr. PHILIPPS asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department when he intended to introduce the
Lunacy Regulation Bill; and whether such bill would con-
tain any provision for the purpose of facilitating the build -
ing of a lunatic asylum by counties united for that pur-
pose ?
Sir G. GREY said that a bill was drawn up on the sub-
ject in accordance with the recommendations of the com-
mittee which sat on the matter. He could not say when it
would be brought forward, as the Government had received
some impoi tent communications from the Lunacy Com-
mission which required consideration.
THE ARMSTRONG GUNS.
Mr. H. BERKELEY asked the Secretary of State for
War whether, adverting to the probability that guns of
much greater calibre must now be placed on our seaboard
forts, and iron-plated ships, Sir William Armstrong was to
have the exclusive manufacture of such guns,
or was their
construction to' be thrown open to competition; and, of
what calibre was the largest
gun completed as intended for
practical service as yet made for Government by Sir Wil-
liam Armstrong, and proved without accident to the breech
or bursting?
Sir G. LEWIS said that the Government had no con-
tract with Sir William Armstrong, but they had with an
iron works company in Essex, which had been appended to
the report of the commission on military organisation. By
reference to that report, it would be seen that if Govern-
ment did not carry out their contract with that company
they would have to forfeit £85,000 for loss of plant- With
regard to the Armstrong guns, there were several under
experiment, including one with a smooth bore, which would
throw 3001b5.; and another with a rifle bore, which would
throw GOOlbs. Some of a smaller calibre had been tried,
and found very successful.
PRISON OFFICERS IN IRELAND.
In reply to Sir G. BOWYEU,
Sir R. PEEL said he understood that the prison officers
in Ireland were not satisfied with the retiring allowances
they had received, but as he was informed, it was not the
intention of the Govt rnment to introduce any bill for an
improvement in their situation.
ACCOMMODATION- FOR PASSENGERS AT
HOLYHEAD.

Mr. LEFROY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
when the accornny.dation and protection promised to be pro-
vided for the mail packets and for passengers landing on
the wooden jetty at Ifolyhead, would be provided, in com-
pliance with the agreement made between the Admiralty
and the Loudon and North Western and Chester and Holy-
head Steam) oat Company ?
Lord C. PAGET said that a sum had been taken in the
estimates, which would come before the house on Thursday
nett; by which provision was made for the object alluded to
by the hon. member,
ADVANCES AND REPAYMENTS ORDERED.
In reply to Sir C. NORVICOTE,
Mr. F. PEEL said that the account of the advances and
repayments ordered on the 17th of February last would be
shortly laid on the table, but they had been delayed for the
purpose of making them more perfect.

IRISH BILLS.
Mr. P. 'URQUHART asked the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whether he meant to proceed with the committee on
the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill before the Easter recess : and
whether he meant to proceed with the other Irish measures
before the Easter recess?

Sir R. PEEL said that he was not able to make greater
progress than he had done with those bills. He was afraid
he would not be able to proceed with the Poor Law Bill
before Easter—(hear, hear)—bnt he should do, all in his
power to'press it on.
WEST HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY—BREACH OF
PRIVILEGE.
Mr. FARREIt drew the attention of the house to a
matter personal to himself; in which a breach of privilege
had been committed. His lion. and learned . friend
the member for Sheffield brought forward a motion
the other evening with a view to the appointment
of a select committee in reference to a private
bill, and in a petition which he presented certain charges
were made to which he thought it right to give a denial.
Having alluded to some correspondence which had taken
place with a gentleman whose name was connected with the
company in question, he said the breach of privilege of
which be complained was contained in an article
in the 4.s'socktoli Gazelle and Middlesborough Times, and
the writer described his (Mr. Ferrer's) statement as a OA-de-
liberate lie." He would not call on the house to summons
the printer of that journal to thti liar of the house, but he
thought he would be unworthy of a seat in Parliament if
he did not bring forward this subject. (Hear, hear.)
Sir G. GREY said he thought the hon. member should
not pass over this matter, but he thought his (Mr. Ferrer's)
high character was quite refutation sufficient of such a
charge. (Hear, hear.)
THE EASTER RECESS.
In reply to Mr. DISRA.ELT,
Lord PALMERSTON said that he would state] next
Thursday, when Government proposed ;to adjourn for
the Easter recess.

Mr, VANSTTTART seconded the motion.
Mr. COCHRANE moved, as an amendment, " That
many of the qualities constituting a good public
officer—good principles, good habits, sound judgment,
general intelligence, and energy—cannot be tested
by any plan of public competition; the introduction, I
therefore, of such a System into all the departments of
the public service would be very injurious to their effi-
ciency." He ridiculed the description of examination to
which candidates for the civil service were subjected.

by Mr. Huxley, who represented the 'rench directors,
and shareholders, in favour of an increase of the divi-
dend from ls. to ls. 6d. per share, which Was car-

and the directors' report adopted, with the alteration in the
amount of dividend.
