GLASGOW POST-OFFICE.

Mr. HASTIE wished to ask the Secretary of the
Treasury, when it is intended to proceed with the erec-
tion of the new Post-office at Glasgow, for which ground
was bought about three years ago, in consequence of the
present building being pronounced unsuitable for the
extent of business, and in a ruinous and unsafe condition
for the inmates.

Mr. WILSON said negotiations were now going on
for the purchase of additional ground, and when these
were closed the Post-office would be proceeded with.

COAL MINES.

Mr. SANDARS wished to ask the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, whether it is the intention of
her Majesty's Government to increase the number of in-
spectors in coal mines, or take any other steps for the
prevention of accidents therein.
Lord PALMERSTON said the whole subject of coal
mines was one of great difficulty and importance, and he
had not yet been able to arrive at any decision upon it.
WARDENSHIP OF THE -CINQUE PORTS.
Mr. HUME wished to ask the noble lord, the mem-
ber for the City of London, if the Government would
lay upon the table any papers relative to the office of
Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports?
Lord J. RUSSELL had no objection to lay such
papers on the table.

- On the motion of taking the orders of the day,
Mr. NEWDEGATE complained of the way in which
the noble lord the member for the city of London con-
ducted the public business. The noble lord was taking
an unfair advantage of gentlemen on his side of the
house. He complained of the noble lord wishing to force
on the Jewish bill before the recess. (Hear, hear, front
the Opposition.) To ende.wour to force on this measure
now was a tyrannical proceeding ; it was an attempt to
stifle the general feeling of the country. A measure of
such a description ought not to be brought in and read
a third time the night before the Easter recess.

Sir J. PA KINCiTON considered that in general tho
noble lord had studied the convenience of the house, but
in the present case he was obliged to coincide with the
hon. member for North Warwickshire. He hoped that
the noble lord would postpone the measure.
Lord J. RUSSELL considered that the course he had
adopted was the fairest one towards the house. With
regard to the Jewish Disabilities Bill, the subject was
nearly exhausted, and he did not see any reason for post-
poning it.

Mr. CAYLEY hoped that the'noble lord would post-
pone the third reading of the Canada Clergy Reserves
Dill until after the recess.

Mr. M. GIBSON would call the attention of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to the taxes upon the means
of diffusing knowledge.
