SUN OFFICE, Seven o Clock.

CITY ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.)
The poll closed this afternoon as the Guildhall clock struck
four, at which hour both the candidates, accompanied by
their friends, appeared in front of the hustings. The hall
was densely filled with electors, who gave three cheers for
Baron Rothschild, three for the people, with three for the
Queen, and the candidates then retired.
Mr. D. W. WIRE then presented himself to congratulate
the electors on the glorious victory they had achieved in
favour of the cause of civil and religious liberty, and as to-
morrow the poll would be declared, and would show to them
a triumphant majority, he hoped he should have the honour
and pleasure of telling them the exact result, as well as of
demonstrating the influence it would have upon the
country.—(Hear, and cheers.) He could not but express
his unfeigned surprise and regret that his Honourable
Friend, George Frederick Young, should have deluded a
young nobleman to come there and contest the election, after
all the respectable Tories and merchants of the City had de-.
dined to do so.—(Hear, hear.) lt was strange, but no less
ridiculous, that after every respectable man had refused to
enter the field with Baron Rothschild, Mr. Young should
have been obliged to go to the west end of the
town to seek a young nobleman in order to fight what he
knew to be a losing game--(Cheers.) But they would set
them a good example—they would use their victory with
moderation; but they would tell them at the same time that
they were not to be dictated to or controlled. They did not
intend to rest quiet in the city of London until
this remnant of bigotry should be wiped from the
statute-book, so that all men should be free.—(Cheers.)
It mgt be that the House of Lords claimed the privilege
of rejecting the Bill. Well, they would concede them that,
and all their constitutional rights—they would defend the it
privileges, but at the same time they would vindicate
their own right to perfect freedom of election in choosing
a fellow-citizen to represent them in Parliament.—(Cheers.)
What right had the House of Louis to say that the gentle-
man elected by the citizens of London should not take his
seat in the Commons House of Parliament? Perhaps they
would say that if they had passed this Bill,
the Queen would have been at liberty to
make a Jew a Peer, but still that gave them no right to re-
ject the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Suppose her Majesty had
made a Jew a Peer, and this Bill had passed the House of
Commons, enabling him to take his seat—(A Voice—" But
she can't do it")—they would then have had the singular
anomaly of two branches of the Legislature opposed to
one and one opposed to two.—(Hear, hear, and cheers )
Some one said the Queen could not make a Jew a Peer.
Wby she had made two or three Baronets.—(Hear, hear.)
She had sanctioned the appointment of Jews to the magis-
tracy, she had given her sanction to Acts of Parliament ad-
mitting them to municipal offices, while in the Speech from
the Throne what did she do but give a recommendation
to the House of Lords and their faithful Commons to pass the
Bill ?—(Cheers.) So then they had the Queen with them
—they had the Hcuse of Commone with them—they
bad file electors of the city of London with them, and, finally,
they had the Liberals of all the kingdem with them.—
(Cheers ) It was useless, therefore, their Lordships attempting
to make an example of the Jews. Let them rather hear
the voice of the citizens of London—let them ratify their
choice, pass the Bill and restore peace and tranquillity
to the greatest city in the world.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Haan then came forward and was received with
loud cheers. He said he was not going to excite their
feelings ; he was desirous of appealing to their
clear and dispassionate opinion upon the position
in which the city of London had been placed through an act
of one of the branches of the Legislature, which had not re-
sponded to the return of the city of London. In
doing that be felt it to be his duty--(Cheers)—
a fearless one, to draw the attention of those present to what
had passed in the llouse of Lords, in the debate on the third
reading of the Oaths' Bill.—(Cheers.) The Bishop of
Oxford—(Hisses, and cries of " Oh, oh")—the Bishop
of Oxfor a undisguised in his place in Parliament, screening
himself with the privilege of a Peer of the realm, was pleased
to say that the citizens of London had ,been bribed with
Jewish gold.—(Cheers, and cries of " Shame.") Such was
the twaddle of a prelate, a member of the Bench of Bishop,
and such were the means by which the Bill was thrown
out of the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) He was de-
lighted to hear tli.t the old friend of the people, Harry
Brougham, had become again, after many hackslidiegs, the
. friend and advocate of the cause of the people and the sup-
porter of civil and religious liberty. - ( Cheers.) That Noble
Lord had in the most masterly manner advocated the
second reading of the Bill, and put the Bishop of Oxford on
the shelf, together with his stupid nonsense, for argument he
could not call it.— (Cheers.) He (Hr. H.) represented the long
shore men. He gloried in doing so—(Cheers and laughte )--
and being their representative, he asked would the
citizens of London tolerate or quietly pocket the in-
sult that had been inflicted on them by the Bishop
of Oxford, when hex aid,.. that they had been bribed
by Jewish gold,?-4Cileers, and cries of " No, we will not.")
He was glad to hear it.—(Cheers.) They were not going
to allow the House of Lords to create a revolution in Lon-
don—(Cheers and laughter) -but that House had thrown
down the gauntlet, and the citizens of London, to their
honour, had nobly picked it up —(Great cheering.) The
citizens of London had now that gauntlet in their posses-
sion, and the House of Lords might depend upon it that
the champion of the greatest city in the world would not be
worsted in the fight.—(Cheers.) That gauntlet was not in
the hands of Baron Rothschild—(Cheers)—it was not in
the hands of the Je.,v—(Loud cheers.) The citizens
of London did not look to the Rothschilds or the Jews, but
to the carrying of a great principle. The citizens of London
would carry the Jews on their shoulders; they made their
cause their own, and they would never rest satisfied till they
bad given them as ample privileges as they enjoyed them-
selves. He trusted when another measure was brought in the
Lords would reject it again.—(Cries of "If they do, we
will return Rothschild again in spite of them.") He hoped
that electiou, would open the eyes of the House of Lords.—

(Cheers.) That body had sent them a young lordling, a young
poet laurente--(Great laughter)—to teach the citizens
of London their catechism with respect to their commer-
cial operations.—(Cheers and laughter.) Now what
did that Noble Lord say ? He must confess that he
had read some of his handiworka, and he was bound
to say that he had not profited much by that
reading, and was sorry that he had wasted so much time
in doing so; but among the twaddle the Noble Lord
peried—(Great laughter)—he had written, or thought he
had written, the epitaph of the City of London in the fol-
lowing lines :
" Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die,
But save us still our old nobility."
(Great laughter and cheering.) It put him in mind of an
old friend of his, a doctor, who wrote his own epitaph, in
something of the following strain
Oh, cruel death, how could thou be so contrary,
As to kill thy best friend, the apothecary."
(Great laughter.) Now who, he would ask, was the
Noble Lord a most amiable young man, doubtless,
and one of the sprigs of the aristocracy, but was it to
be said that the city of London was so devoid of
men of talent of Conservative principles, that they could not
find a man of mind and comprehension to come forward, and
were obliged to go to the west-end for one.—(Laughter.) He
would say to the citizens of London, show to this young
nobleman a generous sympathy and kindness, for could they
doubt that he had been deceived?—(Cheers and laughter.)
He bad written on sub ects in poetry that he
-knew nothing about—(Laughter)—and he trusted he would
,go back to his papa, the great Duke of Rutland—(Hear)—
and tell him that in the City of London he had not re-
seived a hearty welcome—(Cries of "He never will")
that there they. blew great guns, but not for him.—(Cheers.)
He hoped when the Lords threw out the Bill again they
would have another lordling, and that he would find
that in the city of London there were plenty
of tar and feathers.—(Great laughter.) In conclusion, he
trusted that the citizens of London would never rest till
they bad carried out to the fullest extent the great
- principle of civil and religious liberty—(Great cheering)
together with electoral rights.— (Cheers.) Let them nail
. their flag to the mast, and let their last prayer be that they
. might have just, free, and open electoral rights for all sects
and creeds.
Proclamation was then made by the crier that the Hall
would meet to-morrow morning at eight o'clock for the
purpose of enabling the Sheriff to east up the poll-books,
and that the official declaration of the poll would be made by
the Sheriff at twelve o'clock.
The Hall during the ceremony resounded with cries for
Baron Rothschild.
Mr. Alderman SALOMAITS then presented himself, and was
received with enthusiastic cheering. He said it would have
been far more agreeable to Baron Rothschild himself that he
should have returned thanks to the electors, instead of re-
questicg him to do so, but the Baron was really
so much excited and overpowered with gratitude
for the victory he had this day achieved, that it might
prove of serious consequence to him were he, in the present
state of his health, to attempt to give utterance to the grate-
ful feelings that overpowered him.—(Loud cheers.) His
friends had, therefore, thought it more advisable for the
electors as well as himself that he should have one night's
interval and a few hours' rest before he addressed them, so
that he might come before them to-morrow like a grant
refreshed, for the purpose of communicating to his
the grateful sentiments he felt towards them for the triumph
they had this day achieved.—(Cheers, and some slight
hissing.) He was sorry to hear that any one present re-
gretted even for a moment the vote wh' the tCLa .t
of the City of London had this day come to.—(Hear.) During
the contest there were many who would rather that the
Baron should not gain the day—(Hear,.hear)—but he felt
confident that every true Englishman—every true free
man—every true Briton—every one who possessed
the blessing of liberty both social and religious, would
consider, not that the citizens of London have gained
triumph, but that this great country—this great king-
dom - had laid down a principle that would do it
as much honour as any work that had ever been
accomplished by the united hands of Englishmen.—
(Loud cheers,) He would not repeat what had been said
throughout this contest about sinking the name of Roths-
child, an I treating the Baron as the beacon of a great prin-
ciple. It was the cause of civil and religious liberty they
had been struggling for—a cause which had worked out
such vast and beneficial changes, such great and glorious
reformations in this country—a cause which insisted
that no law should interfere with the conscience of
a Wan or with the duty he owed to his Creator. Let it
go forth, from this day throughout the whole country that
!Ye'Y than might have the privilege of worshipping his
God
according to his own conscience—that no punish-
ment,no penalty,

sure the electors would be glad to obtain a little

and as he had been, labouring with them, he knew that
y
must by this time require some little rest.—(Hear, hear
In coi.clivion, therefore, he trusted the vote of to-day wouldr
convey throughout the kingdom the feeling of the City of
London, that those who may be chosen to till high stations
and places in society—that he and others who by their suf-
frages and he looked forward with a pleasureable ambition
to the attainment of the honour—might be elevated to the
office of Lord Mayor, were equally worthy[of a seat on the
green benches of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.)
Three cl:eers were then given for, the Baron, and the occu-
pants of the Hall quietly dispersed.

LYCEUM, THEATRE.—The performances at this
theatre last evening were for the benefit of the veteran
Harley, who revived on the occasion the drama of Inkle and
Y.arico,
arico, which was so great a favourite in former days.
11<irley was as gay and buoyant as ever, as though time had
matte noimpression
in the
his volatile temperament. Mr. John
R?eve lent his aid the popular song " The Humours of
Greenwich lair," and the performances concluded with
Bold your Tongue, and The Seven Champions of Christenkm,

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, July 3.)

SUGAR.—To-day there was a further decrease in the sup-
ply
of Raw Sugar brought to market, and holders displayed
firmness ; still operations were not upon a larger scale to '
supply home or export orders. British Plantation was only
in limited demand for either the pan or scale, still the rates
obtained were fully equal to Friday for all sorts. The pur-
chases amounted to *290 hhds, &c., including a public sale of
150 hhds 13 trci Barbadoes at te 13s duty, which went at
firm rates ; fine yellow 42s to 435, and middling to good 39s
to 41s 6d.

REFIKED.—To-day the market for Refined goods pre-
sented a dull a-pect, and prices declined to 50s Gd to 51s
for brown Lumps, and to 51s 6d to 52s for Standard Lumps;
there is also an enlarged supply. Bonded Crushed Sugar is
still dull of sale at 28s 6d to 293.

MAuarrxus.—The market has been less freely supplied
with all sorts for several days past, and former rates are sup-
ported ; none has been submitted to public sale, and by pri-
vate treaty only small purchases have been made by refiners
and grocers. There is only a moderate quantity in first
hands, and prices rule above those current for West India
Sugar.
LAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Madras
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to only 300 bags
which sold at stiff rates; good grocery yellow fetched 39s to
40s per cwt. There was no public sale at Bengal.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of foreign
sugar, and by private treaty little business was concluded,
whilst there were sellers rather under former rates.
Cocew.—This afternoon Trinidad cocoa met with atten-
tion, and 200 bags at public sale sold at full rates, and went
at 44s to 48s for red, 42s 6d for grey, and 35s to 45s for
damaged.
COFFEE.—To-day the market for Ceylon had a quiet ap-
pearance, and 72 casks 232 bags Plantation at auction were
only in part sold at firm rates • fine 70s, good 60s, low mid
and mid 50s to 565, fine fine ord 46s to 495. Native is held
for 353 to 365, but met with little attention privately.
Mor.AssEs.—The market continues firm for West India,
and 17s to 21s 6d is the value of low to fine quality. A cargo
of Cuba to arrive has been sold at 19s 3d per cwt, buyer to
pay landing charges. For Bengal Treacle more desire is
evinced to sell at 16s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt for low to fine.
TEA.—There has been no public sale, and by private
treaty the quantity on offer is not upon a larger scale.
Former rates are well supported for black, and a good busi-
ness has been concluded, whilst common sound Congou for
cash is not to be purchased under 8d per lb. In the value
of Green there is no variation to record, and of ord and mid
many parcels have been disposed of, but good and fine met
with little attention.

RICE.—To-day there was a better demand for East India
Partivfilltlerl ye ies,ana.:2•=knen6ow3hibtaeg.s,ff.....73e7 p*tacsksetstoß___c_ensg6adl, sold
d
damaged 5s to 7s.
SAGO.—To-day the demand was better, and 123 boxes at
auction sold at 20s 6d for good small white pearl, being the
full value; 120 tins St. Vincent's Arrowroot 6id to 8-id, but
165 barrels Tapioca were taken in at is to is Cid per lb.
SPICES.—This afternoon at public sale 364 bags Zanzibar
Cloves were sold at stiffer rates—fine at Sid to 81d, mid
and good 7id to 74d, damaged Gist to 74d, damaged 61d to
7id ; also 7 bags of Statks at 31d for sound, and 2d to 2icl
for damaged. Pimento is greatly wanted, and 408 bags sold
readily at stiffer rates—good went at 3/d to 4d per lb.
SPIAITS.—Prices are not higher for Demerara Rum; still
orders continue to get upon a larger scale, and since our
last 200 puncheons have been sold at 2s to 2s 2d
for 32 to 38 per cent. over-proof, and choice marks
at 2s. 3d. per gallon. . For Leeward Island there is a firm
market, and a good demand exists; whilst the sales are 160
puns at is 4d to is sd, and small parcels of fine brown at
Is 51/2d. Holders of East India display firmness, and have
obtained is 3d for 140 hhds proofs, and at which there are not
free sellers. Sales to a fair extent have been made in Jamaica
by exporters and home dealers. The value of 20 to 29 per cent.
over proof is from 2s 2d to 2s 4d, 30 to 36 over is 2s 5d to 3s,lbetter
sort 3s 2d to 3s sd, and choice marks 3s 6d to 4s per gallon.
Brandy—Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 6d
to 3s 8d ; 1847 ditto, 4s 3d to 4s 5d ; 1846 ditto, 5s 3d to
5s 3d; 1845 ditto, 5s 8d to 5s 10d; inferior brands, 2s 3d to
2s 6d. Bordeaux, 2s to '2s 26. For Geneva the market is
firm at Is 9d to Is 10d for pale, and fine 2s 3d to 3s 3d. For
British made Spirits the trade is firm at Os Bd, and Gin at
8s 3d to 8s 9d for 17 and 22 per cent over proof.
FniuT.—Fine Currants are much in demand, and as sup-
plies are small, prices rule firm at 40s to 41s. For low and
middling sorts there are, however, few buyers, and sellers
are ready to accept 34s to 38s, as the market is we;l sup-
plied. Raisins are wanted, and for prime Valencia holders
firmly demand 425 per cwt. Prunes find a more ready sale
at improved prices "

THE MAH_RATTA WAR.

The Earl of ELLENItOROUGH rose to state the
circumstances under which i booty taken from the enemy
in the Mahratta war in In dia had been granted by the
Crown to the East India Co mpany or to the Indian army.
This property had been transferred to the East India
Company, which was in pc int of fact the Government of
India, but that transfer in no way respected the private
interess of the individual directors of the company. Ac-
cording to universal custom, with certain reservations as
her Majesty might he advised to make, the booty in
question had been made o ver to the Court of Directors
and the Indian army. Confiscation implied power over
the object confiscated, bin the property in question,
situated in the state of Lahore, belonged to the
enemy in the Mahre=ii war, and it could not
be rightly confiscated by the Governor-General
of India according to the principle which he (Lord
Ellenborough) had laid down, for that property was not
in the power of the Govm.nor-General of India. That
property, consisting of all the state jewels of Lahore,
was acquired by war, was retained by right of conquest;
it never changed hands, arid belonged, therethre, to her
crown,
ral of India had no righS to dispose of it. It was a
matter of policy,
Majesty in right of her and the Governor-Gene-
ral
this property as the law di recta, without throwing any as well as of justice, to deal with
difficulties in the way of it a legal appropriation. If this
booty, which belonged to the Crown, as he contended,
were not conceded to the army of India, the army of
India would have no rewm-d whatever.
The Marquis-of LANSDOWNE said he would inter-
pose no objection to the production of the papers for
which the Noble Rirl had moved. The question was,
how far the state property. of Lahore was to be consi-
dered as booty of war, and. how far it was to be consi-
dered as state property 'liable to the provisions of a
treaty? He held in his he nd the treaty applicabls to the
case in hand, one of the articles of which was that nil
the property of the state of whatever description and
wheresoever it should be found should be con-
fiscated in part paym,nt of the debt dive
from the etate of Lahore to the British
Government. Upon that treaty rested the right of the
East India Compimy to the property which they hn,d
acquired, and the Tight of the Queen of England to the
precious atones to which reference had been made by the
Noble Lord.

The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the most re-
gular mode of proceeding would be to leave her Majes-
iy's Government zo settle this question viit the Cutlet of
Directors. He must do the Governor-General of India
the justice to say that his Noble Friend (the Earl of
Ellenhorough) was mistaken if he supposed that the
t.ansactions in quecition recently performed in India
had not been well and maturely considered by the
Noble Lord in his recommendation to the public autho-
rides of this country.
Mier a few remarks from Lord GLENELG,

Lord BROUGHAM said the Governor-General of
Iti6a could not change the nsture of the propcivy in
question by any thing that he did. It the property
was booty, using the word " confiscation" was a little
inconsistent with all idc aof treaty. Confication :teemed
to him to exclude the idea of contract. _

Lord ELLENBOROUGH replied. There was, in
his opinion, enough in this case which rendered it in the
highest degree necessary that this matter should l e fully
and judicially considered.
After a few words from Lords CAMPBELL, and
BROUGHAM, . .

Lord ELLENBOROUGH consented to withdricw his
motion.

(LEFT SITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
POOR-LAW (IRELAND) BILL.
(Continued from our Ai ternoou Edition.)
Mr. FAGAN admitted that if they had str;ficient
workhouse room in,. Ireland, it would be well to adopt
the workhouse test by refusing out door relief to. able-
bodied poor, but as such was not the case, he thought
the course proposed by the Hon. Baronet could mt be
safely acted on. He must, therefore, oppose the c4lause.
Mr. CONOLLYS thought that it was the boil nden
duty of the Government to make some modilleatiton in
the ruinous system of out-door relief, or do away; with
it altogether. He would support the clause of the Hon.
Baronet the Member for Waterford.
Mr. STAFFORD thought it would be better that the
clause should be postponed till the third reading or the
Bill.

Sir W. SOMERVILLE had not been able to .elieit
from any Hon. Member who had spoken by what means
they proposed to preserve the lives of the people if they
did away with out-door relief. He admitted that abuses
were inseparable from the system, but it was surr aundcd
with as many safeguards as possible, and wo Li/Ist be
abandoned when it could be done with safety. He t rusted,
therefore, that the Hon. Baronet would withdr taw the
clause, and allow the other portions of the Bill; to be
proceeded with.
Sir H. W. BARRON withdrew the clause.

Colonel DUNNE then proposed the followinc, clatsoe:
"And be it further enacted that in any electoral 6 division ,
where the rate-payers of any townland, or union of town-
lands within such electoral division, shall undertalse and
satisfy the guardians of the poor of the union in which
such electoral division is situate, that they will au pport a
proportion of the poor of the electoral division, will Leh pro-
portion shall seem to the said board of guardian to be a
lair proportion of the poor (taking into consideration the
entire amount of paupers liable to be relieved under the
poor-law, and the valuation and extent of the townlands
aforesaid and the electoral division), then it shall be
lawful for the board of guardians to exempt such town-
land or townlands from any rate, except a rate :or union
and establishment charges; and in case any pauper
within such townland or townlands should appeal to
the board of guardians against the support affurde d to him
or her by the rate-payers of such townland or townlands,
and it shall appear to the guardians that such complaint
is well founded, then the board of guardians shall re-
lieve such person or persons appealing, and charge the
townland to which such pauper or paupers appealing
shall be chargeable ; provided always, that should the
decision of the board of guardians be disputed, either by
the pauper or paupers appealing, or by the ratepayers or
any ene ratepayer on their part, then an appeal shall be
given to either party to the magistrates end assistant
barristers at the Quarter Sessions next ensuing,
whose decisions shall be final. He was convinced
that unless the House adopted some such step
as that contained in his clause, there would
be but little chance of any adequate relief being ex-
tended to Irish pauperism. From conversations which
he had with boards of guardians in his neighbourhood,
he was sure that such a plan was one which would be
of great use.

Mr. C. LEWIS reminded the House that this ques-
tion had been very fully discussed and determined upon
on the occasion of a Bill having been proposed by the
Member for Strood (Mr. Scrope), and after the rejection
which it met with there he hoped that the Hon. and
Gallant Member would not press his clause.
Sir A. BROOKE thought the clause could not be
carried into practical operation.
Mr. P. SCROPE thought that the system of support-
ing able-bodied men by out-door relief was a very per-
nicious one, it would be much better to employ them
in cultivating the land which lay untilled. He should
support the clause.
Mr. FRENCH wished to contradict a charge against
Irish Members of taking but little interest in this Bill.
He could confidently stato that every Irish Member at
present in London was then in the Hou.o_
After a few words from Sir W. BARRON,
—saw G.-Gum-sr ..ished to recal it to the attention of
the House that the principle of this clause was identical
with that of the Bill introduced in the early part of the
present session, and which had been rejected by a ma-
jority of 166 to 41; and it would be found that the ma-
jority of the Irish Members had voted against the Bill.
Mr. GROGAN suggested that the Government should
adopt this clause, and modify it so that it might be re-
ceived favourably by the House.
Lord J. RUSSELL was in doubt whether Irish Mem-
bers, and especially the Hon. Member who had spoken
last, were or were not in favour of this clause. Ho re-
membered that such a plan had been introduced many
years ago by the Duke of Richmond, but when it was
dehatedwhether this should be made compulsory, it
had been satisfactorily shown that such a course would
be fail of dunger.
After a few words of explanation from Mr.
GROGAN,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD could not agree with the Noble
Lord that this clause was identical with the proposal of
the Hon. Member for Stroud. That Hon. Gentleman's
plan made it compulsory for boards of guardians and the
ratepayers. to enter into these arrangements, but tb is clause
partook more of a voluntary than a compulsory character,
and he was quite willing to support it.
Mr. A. STAFFORD was atraid the clause would in-
flict too much labour end trouble on the boards of guar-
dians to admit of its working with facility. He was
fearful, too, that even if the machinery of the clause could
be put into operation, it would have a tendency to de-
press the condition of the pauper, and for these two
reasons, although he did not disapprove of its principles,
he felt bound to oppose the clause.
Mr. ROCHE also thought the clause woul work prac-
tically against the poor, while it would perpetuate the evils
of townland rating system, and overturn the very prin-
ciple upon which the poor law was founded. The guar-
dians, under the existing law, were bound to support the
poor in co-: ain circumstances, and in a specified manner,
but establish the system proposed by this clause, and the
poor would be subject to the mercy of the ratepayers.
Colonel DUNNE only wished the Committee to pro-
nounce for the principle of the clause and be would
modify its terms to meet some of the objections which
had been urged against it.
Lord C. HAMILTON quite approve mode in which
approved of the prin-
ciple, but he was decidedly averse to the
the chute -was propf,sf d to be put in force.
Mr. F&TZSTE FRENCH really could not

understand, then, why the Noble Lord should not,sup-
port it.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared—

Sir D. NORRICYS then proposed the following
clauses :-1. Whereas in many unions large sums are
due to contractors and others, for the payment of which
the outstanding amount of uncollected rates is insuffi-
cient, be it enacted, that the Commissioners for the no-
ministration of the poor-laws in Ireland, shall cause an
account to be taken of the debts which shall be due
on the 29th thy of September next, and also of the
probable amount of rates which may be expected from
the outstanding collection; and if it shall appear that iu
any electoral division, in which the expenses for the
relief of the poor have during the year exceeded five
shillings in the pound of its valuation, the debts due by
it shall exceed its probable assets, and that a rate of
sixpence in the pound, in addition to the five shillings
maximum rate, would be insufficient for their payment,
it shall be lawful for the Commissioners to require the
board of guardians, or the paid officers in charge of the
union, to borrow such sum as may be required on
the security of the rates of the union at large, but on
condition always that the sum so borrowed sall be re-
paid, with interest, by instalments extending over a
period not exceeding ten years; and the instalments
and the interest payable thereon shall be the first charge
on the rates of such union, and the treasurer of Such
union shall be bound to pay off the instalments and
interest as they become due, out of any money which
may be in his hands to the credit of the union, or
to advance the amount thereof and charge interest on
such advance. and for so doing the- order of the Com-
missioners shall be a sufficient discharge: provided always
that the union at large becoming responsible for the
debts of the electoral division, shall not affect the sepa-
rate liability of the electoral division for the debts due
by it. 2. To enable boards of guardians to raise the
union rate in aid at any period within the current year.
Sir G. GREY said the clauses were open to great ob-
jection and opposed them.
Sir D. NORREYS then withdrew the clauses.

To clause 63,
Lord NAAS proposed an amendment to the effect
to repeal so much of an Act for the more
effectual relief of the destitute poor of Ireland
as enacted " that any covenant and agreement whereby
any person liable to pay rent, and entitled, under this
Act, to deduct therefrom any rate, or any portion of any
rate, shall have covenanted or agreed, or shall hereafter
covenant or agree, to forego such reduction,
shall, so far as such rate is concerned, have not fleet, be
repealed, except as to anything heretofore done or now
pending under this Act."
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he felt disposed to vote
for the amendment.

After some discussion, in which same opposition was
offered to the clause,
The House divided, when there appeared—
For the clause... 71
Against it 10

Lord JOHN itUSELL intimated that he proposed
to proceed with the Bid on Thursday, at twelve.
The House then adjourned until Five o'clock.

The House resumed at Five o'clock.
