PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the Loans' last night no business of any great public interes
occurred.
In the CommoNs', among other petitions, was one presented by
Mr. Attwood from the Political Union of Birmingham, praying for
reform in the House of Lords, the insertion of an appropriation
clause in any Irish Chit-eh Bill that might be introduced, and
the enactment of a poor law for Ireland. Mr. Hardy then
brought forward his motion for a Committee to inquire into the
circumstances of the late Carlow Election. Mr. Warburton
moved, as an amendment, that the Committee proposed by Mr.
Hardy should inquire into the manner in which the 2,000/. paid
to Mr. O'Connell had actually been expended. This amendment
was put and agreed to. The names of the Hon. Gentlemen to
form the Committee were then agreed to. It was also ar-
ranged that Sir F. Pollock and Sergeant Wilde, making
thirteen Members, should be on the Committee, without a
vote, but for the purpose of cross-examining the witnesses.
We have confined ourselves, in this part of our Paper, to the
shortest possible summary of the procceedings by which the Tories
vainly thought to stab the Government through the sides of Mr.
O'Connell, convinced that a debate so interesting, together with
our remarks elsewhere upon the signal defeat of the miserable Con-
servative conspirators, will not fail to engage the ready perusal of all
our subscribers. Such was the effect produced on the House by
the facts the lion. and Learned Member stated, that Sir. Peel,
although it was scarcely ten o'clock, suggested, that owing to the
excitement that prevailed, the Irish Municipal Reform Bill should
be then formally brought in, and the discussion upon it deferred
till the second reading.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.—The enquiry in Lady
Kirkwall's case was resumed this morning ; and after Mr.
Sergeant Talfourd bad addressed the jury at some length on
behalf of her Ladyship, the case was adjourned till to-day,
when it is expected to be finally closed.
The gunnership of Dover Castle, which is now
vacant, is in the gift of the Duke of Wellington. It is un-
derstood to be the rule of his Grace to give these appointments
alternately to seamen who have seen service, to invalids of the
Royal artillery, and to those from regiments of the line ; natives
of the Cinque Ports having the preference. There are many
applicants for the appointment.
It is understood that the creation of Baronets is to
include Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, and John Power,
Esq., of Dublin.
The General Officer who, in Paris, some days ago,
as has been stated, fired at and wounded his wife and a man in
whose company he found her, in his own house, under suspi-
cious circumstances, has been tried for the act of violence be-
fore a special military tribunal, but fully acquitted upon the
ground of the great provocation. The officer's name has not
been mentioned ; but he is said to be a man of high profes-
sional reputation.
