year granted him by Parliament on the demise of the Princess
Charlotte?
The CHANCELLOR of -the EXCHEQUER. said that
the arrangement entered into with the King of Belgium, as
stated to the House in the. last session, had been punctually
pperfermecl ; and the Hon. Gentleman would see, when the pub.
',tic accounts should be lid 'oefore 'the House, that after certain
payments on account of certain charitable pensions graa:ted by
thee Princess Charlotte, and for the maintenance in repair of
Claremont-house, a balance arising from this peen ion had been
paid into his Majesty's Exchequer.
THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Mr. HUME wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
what steps had been taken with regard to the plans for the New
Houses of Parliament? He had -seen a paragraph in the news-
papers, stating that all the plans delivered in to the Commis-
sioners appointed to select the four best plans for approval, had
been returned by them to the architects who had sent them in,
except four or five. He wished to know whether those four or
five plans were to be submitted to a Committee of this House
for consideration, or whether inspection of the plans by the
Commissioners was to be considered final ? This was a matter
which deeply interested the public ; he therefore hoped his
Right Hon. Friend would be able to give some information e.e
the subject.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
his intention, before the House adjourned, to give notice that
on Tuesday next he should move for the revival of the Com-
mittee appointed last year on this sul4ect. With respect to
the question put to him by his Hon. Friend, he must remind
him of what took place last year, when a proposition was made
by the Hon. Member for Lambefh that the whole of the plans
sent in to the Commissioners should be exhibited, in order to
give the public the means of judging of their merits. He then
stated that he believed (and he was still of the same opinion)
that the public had no room or place in which an exhibition of
that kind could take place. The proposition was therefore re-
jected. It being the intention of Government to revive the
Committee of last year, of course that Com•,nittee would have
the power to inspect all the plans they thor.ght fit, and to adopt
whatever course might appear to then to be proper. He had
seen it announced in the public papers, that the artists had
taken measures on their own axeount to give a public exhibi-
tion of their drawings. Ile thought that they had done very
right in determining so to do. It would, no doubt, be inte-
resting to the public to have such an exhibition. But that was
entirely an affair of their owit : the Government had nothing
to do with it. He thought the best course for them to adopt wai
to leave the further progress of tnis matter to the Committee
who had commenced the inquiry. The Right Hon. Gentle-
man concluded by giving notice of the-motion of which he had

spoken.
Mr. HUME gam notice that-when the Committee should
be appointed, he should move that it be an instruction to them
to consider the propriety of alto-ring the site of the new
Houses of Paeliament.--(Hear, hear.)
THE, POLISH EXILES.

Lord D. STU A.RT asked the Right Hon. Gentleman, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was the intention of
his M7.jesty's Government this year to propose to Parliamei.t
that a grant should be voted for the Polish exiles in this coun-
try similar to the grant voted last session ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
would be with very great pleasure that he should renew this
year the vote for the relief of the Poles.—( Hear, hear.) He
had done so on a former occasion with much satisfaction, and
certainly nothing had since occurred to make him the less
ready to do so on the present.—(Hear.)
Mr. G. F. YOUNG gave notice of a motion to amend the
Act of the 55 Geo. 111., relating to duties on the tonnage
of goods in ships navigating within the jurisdiction of the
South Sea Company ; but on
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stating

that it was the intention of Government to bring forward a
measure respecting those duties, which he thought would be
satisfactory to all parties,
Mr. G. F. YOUNG withdrew his notice.
The House then adjourned at half-past 8 o'clock.

IRELAND.

IMPORTANT TITHE CASE.

The decision in the ease, Archdeacon Knox v. Gavin and
others, to which we alluded on Thursday, was given in the Court
of Exchequer on Monday last. It will be recollected that
early in the present. Term a conditional order was obtained out
of this Court for an attachment against Chief Constable
Malone and Major Miller, Inspector of Police, for refusing the
aid of the constabulary in execution of a writ of rebellion for
141 e recovery of tithes in the county of Tipperary, and the
question argued on Friday and Saturday last was whether that
rule should be made absolute. The case, though nominally
between the parties to the proceedings, was really a question
between the " Lay Association for assisting the Clergy" and
the Irish Government, and excited the deepest interest. Oa
Friday it was argued for the plaintiff by Mr. Smith (son to
the Baron of that name), who indulged in the most con-
temptuous
taunts against the Lord Lieutenant and the
Irish Law Officers, and it was obvious from the tone a ed
manner of the Learned Gentleman, that it was regal:tied
by his clients as a question of politics alone. On Saturday
he was followed on the other side by the Solicitor-General,
who argued ably on the law of the case, and maintained,
from books of authority and the practice in the Courts .of
Chancery in England and Ireland (where commissions of re-
bellion were expressly abrogated), that the writ became ob-
solete, and ought not to be practically executed. He ob.
served that there existed three other effective processes by
which the object of the plaintiff might easily be attained, and
that if the" rule were made absolute it would have the effect
of placing the disposal of the military and police in the hand:
of any ignorant cow-boy whom the plaintiff may choose to
appoint. In the case before them the Commissioner was only
twenty years of are, and of the lowest order in society. Flu
showed by afndavits that the chief-constable sought to be
attached could not spare the force required by the Commis-
sioner,! and that he acted in strict conformity with the in-
. structions of the Irish Government. The .whole proceeding;,
he contended, was got up for the purpose of bringing tile
Executive and the Court of Exchequer into collision, and giv-
in; Mr. Smith an opportunity of converting the Court into
an arena for political declamation. Ex-Sergeant Pennefathcr
replied at great length, and the Court adjourned to Monday.
At an early hour that morning the Court was crowded to ex-
cess, and the most intense anxiety was-manifested by the en-
tire Bar, to hear their Lordships' decision. The Chief Ba-
ron, Barons Smith and Foster, severally delivered their opi-
nions, which occupied the Court over two hourS, and were
unanimous in the opinion that the order should be made abso-
lute. This was generally expected from the commencement,
but here the matter ends, as the attachment will not, after all,
he suffered to issue. Mr. Smith has taken nothing b • his
)
mo-
I tion—not even costs.

A qui tam action has been commenced in the Court of
King's Bench for the recovery of 17,0001. amount of penalties
for bribery at the late Dungarvon elections against Mr. Gal-
way, the candidate-on the Tory interest.
DREADFUL ATTACK UPON TIIE REVENUE POLICE—Loss

bably the whole affair is a pure invention, for it is notorious
that accounts of this kind are constantly put into circulation
by the Orange party, without one particle of truth.

TITHE CAMPAIGN.-The Cork and Newry papers contain
accounts of attacks on bailiffs employed to serve Exchequer
fithe subpoenas in those neighbourhoods. The cry of " tithe
—tithe " was raised—the 'populace assembled, and the bailiffs
were severely beaten. . _

VIOLATION OF MAGNA ClIARTA.—Under this head the
( Orange) Herald came forward on Monday rather prematurely
with a flaming article, inter aliis, accusing the Executive of a
violation of the Charter !! After inundating us with a shower of
truisms about law, justice, and society, our Cork contemporary
arrives per saltum at the following notable conclusion. We
need not add that premises and conclusion are equally unsound
and utterly rotten : —44 We say that justice in Ireland is de-
layed—for if the Executive will not afford those means to the
Irish Clergy which times and circumstances render essential
to the obtaining of their rights and the redress of their inju-
ries—if they be refused the succour absolutely necessary for
pursuing the ends of justice, and which succour is placed in
the hands of the Government for the purpose of keeping peace,
maintaining security, and sustaining the execution of the laws
—justice is essentially and virtually delayed—and the Great
Charter infracted in one of its most vital covenants."

INFERNAL MACHINE PLOT.
COURT OF PEERS, TUESDAY, Fee. 2.
(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)

TRIAL OF FIESCHI, PEPIN, MOREY, BOIREAU, AND BUCHER, For.
THE CONSPIRACY TO TAKE AWAY THE KING'S LIFE Hy
MEANS OF THE INFERNAL MACHINE EMPLOYED ON THE 28TH
JULY, 1835.
(Continuation of the Sitting of Wednesday.)
EXAMINATION OF NINA LASSAVE CONTINUED.

She said—When, on the 28th, I arrived on the Boulevard,
I was told that the King had been shot at, and I apprehended
that the attempt had been made by Fieschi ; but when I was
shown the window, I had no longer the least doubt. About
the end of April, Fieschi, who was afraid of being arrested,
told me that if any misfortune happened to him, I might apply
to his friends Pepin and Morey, who would take care of me.
On the day after the attempt I went to Pepin's, and saw only
his wife, who denied all knowledge of either Fieschi or Girard.
I expressed my surprise at this, since I had myself seen Fieschi
several times conversing with her in the shop. Next day,
being without money, I went and pawned my ear-rings for five
francs. I afterwards recollected what Fieschi said to me about
Morey. I went to him. On seeing me crying, he asked me
what was the matter ? I said, " You know as well as I do."
He then said, "It was Fieschi who struck the blow." I then
continued, " What a dreadful misfortune ! There are many ,
victims, and they say that poor Marshal Mortier was so
good a man." He replied, that Mortier was a blackguard
like the rest. I added, "It was bad management. To
get rid of one man you have killed fifty. I, who am but
a woman, if I wished to kill Louis Philippe, would have
token a pair of pistols, and, after having fired at him,
I would have shot myself." He said, " Never mind 1 He will
lose nothing by waiting. He will be brought down at last."
I asked him how Fieschi, who was no mechanician, could have
made such a machine. He answered, "It was I who made
the plan; it is only a minute ago that, I destroyed it, or I
would have shown it to you." I said," Then it was Fieschi
who loaded all the barrels ?" He replied, "No : he charged
but three, and it was precisely those which wounded him ; he
would meddle with what he did not understand. I loaded the
rest with slugs, in such a way that they could not fail," He
