fact, that he was unfeignedly sorry for what hai occurred.—
( Loud cheers.)
Sir F. TRENCH, understanding that the Hon. Member
retracted his offensive expressions—(Oh, oh I)—the unparlia-
mentary expressions which he had used in the first instance,
he (Sir F. Trench) was certainly bound to withdraw his re-
tort—(oll!)—which conveyed to the Hon. Member that he
had stated what was untrue. With regard to any original
offence he (Sir F. Trench) had to confirm the statement of
the Speaker.—(Cheers.) Although he would not be driven
into making the first concession, he had no hesitation in now
stating that he had no intention of giving personal offence to
the Hon. Member in the first instance.—( Hear, hear.)
He was only actuated by a wish to protect the other Members
of the Committee.
The SPEAKER—The House then is to understand that
both parties are now content tthis matter should drop.
Sir F. TRENCH had never intended to originate any hos-
tile proceedings, and was satisfied.
Mr. WA SON was also content.—(The cheers which
followed this statement of the Hon. Member prevented our
hearing the latter part of the sentence.)
The House was extremely crowded during the discussion,
and the greatest excitement appeared to prevail. At its ter-
mination most of the Members present quitted the House.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.
_ _

Mr. HUNIk begged to know what was to be done with the
Committees now sitting ? He would suggest that they should
be allowed to continue their sittings.
After an observation from Mr. P. THOMSON,
Mr. HUME said he would move that all Committees on
private Bills should be allowed to sit.
Dr. B °WRING said that several Hon. Members on a
Railway Committee had expressed a wish to be absolved from
attendance, as they considered the public business of much
more importance.
Sir R. PEEL thought it should be left entirely to the dis-
cretion of Hon. Members whether they should go on with the
business of the Committees. He did not think after two
nights' debate, and the decision which had been come to, that
there could be much further discussion. For his part, he would
not offer any opposition which would delay the further progress
of the measure.—( Hear.)
Mr. HUME then moved that all the Committee be allowed
to s't.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD gave notice that he
would divide the House, when the number of towns to be en-
franchised came under consideration.
IRISH MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL.

The Order of the Day for the further consideration of the
Lords' Amendments to the Irish Municipal Corporations . Bill
was read.
Sir ROBERT PE EL wished to know whether the amend-
ments the Hon. and Learned Member meant to move, were
amendments upon the Lords' amendments, and whether they
were printed, because they could do no more than deal with
the Lords' amendments.

Mr. O'LOGHLEN was understood to say the amendments
were printed, and that it was intended to move the re-intro-
auction of certain clauses which had been rejected by the

Lords.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD wished to know from the Govern-
ment what would be the proper time for bringing forward a
motion for including all the corporate towns in this Bill which
were in the first one. He gave notice that he would divide
the House upon that question. He must also protest against
the clause which raised the franchise in small towns to 101.
Col. SIBTHORP wished to know what was doing. He
was bound to suspect every measure or amendment proposed
by the other side.
Clauses up to 31 were then agreed to without amendment.
On the next clause being proposed,
Sir ROBERT PEEL said this was utterly unintelligible.
After the debate which had taken place, and the decisive ma-
jority that had followed, he did not intend ay opposition of
a vexatious character. But in a Bill of such importance, they
ought to see what they were doing.—( Hear.) He hoped
the amendments they were making would be printed, so that
they might see what they were doing.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said they were now merely re-
storing some of the original clauses.
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON—If they did not see what the
alterations were, they might as well leave the House.
Sir R. PEEL said that the whole of the Bill need not be
printed, but they ought to know what amendments were made,
otherwise they could not know what they were (Icing.
Mr. F. SHAW said that they had not the present Bill
before them in any shape or form.,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that it was equally necessary
for Members of that side of the House to understand this Bill.
He hoped that means would be taken to put them in actual
possession of the Bill, as it was not proposed.
Mr. O'LOGHLEN said that it was proposed to restore
clauses 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48,
49, and 50 without the slightest alteration.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the great principle was the resto.
ration of the original clauses. With respect to the new
clauses, they would be printed in the course of two or three
hours. _ _

Sir R. PEEL thought, as they were legislating on a mat-
ter of such importance, that it would be most desirable that all
the alterations should be p; inted.—( Hear.)
Col. SIBTHO RP objected to the measure being thrust
upon the House in what he called so unfair a manner. One
single word introduced into a clause might. overturn the con-
stitution of the country—(Hear, and laughter)—therefore he
objected to the measure being proceeded with in such a way.
Clause 34, as amended, was then agreed to.
Clauses 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 41, were agreed to
without alteration. _
" •

Clause 42 was proposed, with an alteration,—that instead
of making the qualification 500/., to insert 10001. or 5001., as
the case might require.
Clauses 43 up to 50 were agreed to be restored to the Bill,
the House disagreeing with the amendments of the Lords.
Clause 51 was agreed to,
As also were the amendments of the Lords to that Clause.
Clauses from 52 to 58 were restored, the House disagreeing
with the amendments of the Lords.
Mr. SHARMAN CRA WFORD wished to understand
why the House was called upon to agree with any of the
amendments of the Lords.
Clauses up to 67 of the Lords' Bill were then struck out,
amongst which was that for continuing the clerks of markets,
weigh-masters, &c.
The Compensation clause, which was clause 59 in the ori-
ginal Bill was postponed, as was also clause 60.
The following clauses, from 65 up to 71 of the original
Bill, were then restored. •
The other clauses down to 85, were then restored, and it
being Three o'clock, the Speaker left the Chair, on the un-
derstanding that the House should proceed with the Bill at
Five o'clock.

THE HARROW SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.—The
Noblemen and Gentleman educated at Harrow School cele-
brated their anniversary dinner on Saturday, at the Thatched
House Tavern, St. James's-street. The Right Hon. the Earl
of Hardwicke presided.
Some of the Berwick Tories have been trying their
hands, in a small way, at intimidation. We think one of these
silly creatures would be better employed in procuring recruits
by the legitimate force of argument, rather than by frighten-
ing poor " shopkeeper bodies" for daring to sign the requisi-
tion which was presented to the Council last week. —Kelso
Chronicle.

The Members of the Junior United Service Club
will give a grand dinner on the 21st instant, in celebration of
the anniversary of the battle of Talavera.

C. Kemble and his family are going to Italy for two
years, with a view, in some degree, to the musical education of
Miss Adelaide Kemble.

KELSO.-TESTIMONIAL TO EARL GREY.-At a
mucting of the Committee on Wednesday several inscriptions
were submitted. The following was approved of:—" To
mark the high respect entertained for the services rendered
throughout a long life of political exertion in the cause of
public freedom ; especially for his firmness in carrying into
effect the splendid acts of Parliament, Reform and Negro
Emancipation ; as well as to commemorate his triumphal en-
try into Kelso, on the 12th of September, 1834, this testi-
monial is erected in honour of Charles, Earl Grey."

The Hanoverian papers positively contradict the
statement contained in alate number of the Allgemeine Zeitunq,
that their Majesties were about to visit Hanover. The report
is described as an inconceivable mystification. The Duchess
of Gloucester is expected there, and it is supposed that Prince
George of Cambridge will remain for a considerable time
with his father.

A fossil tree has been discovered in a quarry, in the
centre of the town of Bradford, by some workmen, upwards
of thirty feet below the surface of the earth. Its outside ap-
pears like the bark of a knotted tree, but it is as hard as stone,
and when scraped, though it sparkles, has the grain of wood.
It is in diameter about four feet, and its roots shoot out a great
length. It is considered an antediluvian curiosity, and attracts
much notice.

THE FLORIDA WAR.—The campaign against the
Seminoles has terminated, owing to the commencement of the
warm weather and the exceeding unhealthiness of the situa-
tion. About 200 soldiers are reported to be on the sick list at
Tampa Bay, and 80 at Volusia. The regular forces have gone
into summer quarters at St. Augustine. Thus this Indian
war, which it was at first thought might be fin!shed in a few
days, is likely to require at least another eampaign.—American
Paper.

NEW HINDU SECT.—A new sect was founded in
India by the late Baboo Jaynarayun Ghosaul, formerly of
Kidderpon, but subsequently of Bernares, where be founded
a college. This sect now numbers above a hundred thousand.
They arc called Kurta Bhoja, or worshippers of the Creator,
and deny that Brahmins are gods, reject all idols, perform no
shrad'la or any ceremony connected with idol worship. Their
creed is that there is but one God, and that to think of him
constitutes worship ; that this was the way the Vedants had
pointed out. They arc abhorred and persecuted by the or-
thodox Indians.
Miss Curry, with her sister, brother, and Mr.
Montgomery, of Bessmont, lately walked from her family re-
sidence to a place in the neighbourhood of Buncrana, called
Trillicbanks, and proceeded up the ravine there, the steep
banks of which, in some places, are 200 feet high. Miss
Curry's brother, who was on the summit of the bank, flung a
stone, with the intention of throwing it into a pool in the
stream that runs below, but, falling short of the place intended,
it unfortunately alighted on Miss Curry's head, who was sit-
ting tinder the bank out of his sight, and killed the amiable
