of Russia.

The Earl of CLA.RENDON—My lord, I beg to give
otice that, on Friday next, I shall move that her Ma-
y's most gracious Message be taken into considera-

The Earl of DERBY hoped the noble earl would
state on that day the precise object we had in view in
entering upon the war. He trusted it was not true that

we were going to enter into any convention with France
or Turkey, fur the establishment on our behalf of such a
rotectorate over Turkish subjects as had been objected
on the part of Russia. He was certain that her Majesty
would not rely in vain upon the support of all classes
of her subjects in maintaining the honour of this country
in this necessary war, and in taking such vigorous
measures as might be required for bringing that war
to a speedy and honourable termination.

Earl GREY expressed a hope that the address would
be so framed as to meet the ready assent of all their
lordships.
The subject then dropped.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

PRIVATE BILLS.

The King,ton-upon-Hull Dock Bill, and the Liver-
ool Sanitary and other Local Acts Bill, were read a
third time and passed.
The following bills were considered and agreed to:—
Hereford Improvement Bill, Bury Port Bill, Rams-
bottom Gas Bill, and the Southport Waterworks Bill.
On the motion that the South Sea Company Bill he
considered,

Mr. S. FOLLETT took exception to the bill.
Mr. Green, Mr. Bouverie, and Mr. Cardwell sup-
ported the bill, which was agreed to after some further

WAR WITH RUSSIA.

HER MAJESTY'S MESSAGE.

Lord J. RUSSELL, amidst breathless silence, and
in a full house, brought down a Message from the Crown.
The SPEAKER read the message to the house,
which as nearly as we could collect, was as follows :
Her Majesty thinks it proper to acquaint the House
of Commons that the negotiations in which her Ma-
jesty, in concert with her allies, has for some
time past been engaged with his Majesty the Emperor
of all the Russias have terminated. Her Majesty feels
bound to afford active assistance to her ally the Sultan of
Turkey against the unprovoked aggressions of the Empe-
ror of Russia. Her Majesty has given directions for laying
before the House of Commons such papers, in addition
to those already communicated to Parliament, which
will afford the fullest explanations with regard to the
subject of these negotiations. It is a consolation for her
Majesty to reflect that no desire has been wantin4on her
part tl preserve to her subjeAs the blessings of peace, but
her Majesty's just expectations in that respect have been
disappointed. Her Majesty relies with confidence on
the zeal and devotion of her faithful Commons, and to the
exertions of her brave and loyal subjects to use the
powers and resources of the nation in protecting the
dominions of the Sultan from this unjust aggression.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved that her Majesty's must
gracious address should be taken into consideration on
Friday next.

The motion was agreed to.
INCOME TAX.

Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that on tho third
reading of the Income Tax Bill he should call the atten-
tion of the house to the manner in which the Govern-
ment proposed to raise the means for carrying on the
War.

In reply to Mr. WALPOLE,
Lord J. RUSSEI3I2 salt that, as regarded the Irish
and Scotch poor, he expected his noble friend (Lord
rwoalmerston) would be in the house in a few minutes, and
thereu ld answer any questions for himself. He considered
_Settlement
no reason to postpone the second reading of
the and Removal Bill, though the Govern-
earstire
meet weret not at present disposed to state what specific
they intended to introduce respecting the Irish
aniinScotch poor in England.
LoZply to Sir F. TEIESIGER.
J. RUSSELL said he would consider between
now and
Eater theFrirtday whether he should postpone till after
f
SET,III:t!,4sr consideration of the Oaths Bill.
ENT AND REMOVAL BILL.
On the order of the day' for the second reading of the
above bill,
Mr. PACKE 1.,0,1,
that the second reading be de-
ferred till after Eaue:d
being viz. till the 28th of April.
On the question
which
put there were loud cries of 1
ic divide," in the midst 4e
Mr. WALPOLE I
scot?: contended that the
claims of the Irish and
as those of the Engii,h poor were fully as irre-
sistible)oror, and he considered
:the house ought to know whatrespeegltiilations the Govern-
anent intended to propose
the Irish and
Scotch poor before the bill were pLanagd
justiaeti and he thought
proceeding
the Government would not be
r? as regarded
further with this bill till the whole rnnaaain
English poor, was
the Irish and Scotch, as well as the
fully before the house.
Mr. BAINES said he thought Mr. Walpole had
dealt very fairly by the bill. Would the
houseallower
\a
Lim to state what was the principle of this bill?
By the law, as it at present stood, a person wanentitled
to relief, subject to removal if that was not his nwa
parish. He must say he could see no reason for postponing
the present measure ; settlement was a matter confined
entirely to England and Wales, and had no reference to
Ireland or Scotland, and he thought, as he stated on a
previous occasion, that part of the question ought to be
kept quite distinct from the subject as regarded Ireland :
and Scotland. He was quite ready to admit that the
subject of settlement as regarded Ireland and Scotland
deserved a speedy solution ; but hq maintained that the
materials for that solution were not yet ready ; but the
materials for its solution, as regarded England and Wales,
were ripe for decision, and required at once to be !
settled. i

Mr. R. PALMED concurred entirely in the view
taken of the question by his lion. friend (Mr. Walpole),
and he believed the votes of a great number of mem-
bers on both sides of the house depended on th!‘post-
ponetnent of this measure ; or, at least, the house
should be put in possession of the general outlines of

the measure Intended by the Government as regarded
Ireland a-ad Scotland.

Mr. I.a, HERBERT expressed his approLation of the
courFm suggested by the hon. member for Milhurst (Mr.
WP:lpole) for postponing this bill. He contended that in
a vast number of cases grievous hardships were inflicted
on Irish paupers by removing them arbitrarily
from this country, after they had spent the best
years of their life in it, honestly earning their
bread by the sweat of their brow. He had
been assured by more than one good authority that
Scotch farmers acknowledged they would find it almost
impossible to either cultivate their farms, or get in their
harvests, without the aid of Irish labourers. But
yet those Scotch farmers took excellent care to
prevent those Irish labourers obtaining a settle-
ment there, for as soon as the time drew near, which
would entitle them to a settlement, they discharged
them. (A laugh.)

Sir J. PAKINGTON expressed his belief that gentle-
men who were friendly to the measure would vote
against it if they were not informed what course the
Government intended to take on the Irish subject.
Lord PALMERSTON could not see the logical con-
clusion that because they had not sufficient materials
before them for legislating with respect to the Irish part
of the question, they ought not to legislate for England
He contended that the Irish and Scotch paupers ought
to be dealt with equal justice as regarded the English
paupers. In every work requiring great phyical strength
and endurance, in the metropolis and all other large
English towns, the Irishmen were sure to take the
largest share, and in case of poverty or sickness overtak-
ing him, was it right that he or his family should be
treated on a footing inferior to that of the English la-
bourer or his family ? He thought the apprehensicns of
an undue influx of Irish labourers were founded on
most erroneous expectations. He would entreat the
house not to postpone now the second reading of this
bill, and in the subsequent stages of the bill they might
very appropriately consider some safe measure as re-
garded the Irish and Scotch labourers. (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. TROLLOPE said it was perfectly clear to him
that they should consider the whole of this subject
together as affected the labourers not of England and
Wales only, but also of Ireland and Scotland. (Hear.)
The Marquis of GRANBY next rose, and was
