lost sight of the merits of the question, and were en-
gaged in speeches and answers which it would be much
b •tier to ebstain from.—(l-lear.)
Mr. D. BRO WNE—(llivide, divide)—observed that
he had no desire to interrupt the division, and only rose
to explain. It was to be regretted that the Hon.
Memb-r for Sheffield had been interrupted in the way
had been, but he was afraid that, so lung as that Hon.
Member pursued the course he did of aspersing the
character and attacking the motives of Irishmen,
the remarks of which he complained would be made by
these who felt that they were unjust.—(Cheers from the
Irish Members.) He must add that, before the Hon.
Member appeared in that House that session, these sub-
cts, though important in themselves, and gave rise to
great difference of opinion, had at least been discussed
without any of those angry remarks and personal
attacks.—(Renewed checr3.) He thought it would be
well for the Hon. Member to maintain in that House the
arguments which he was so well disposed to maintain
out of doors.—(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he did
not know why a matter of such importance should bo
made the medium for introducing personal questions.
Upon the measure itself it had not been his intention to
say anything had he not been called upon by the attack
made on him. Although he had not signed the memorial
to the Lord Lieutenant, he had great objections to this
Bill, and he trusted the House would discuss it in a
decorous manner.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. REYNOLDS—(Spoke, Oh, Divide)—The Hon.
Member for Sheffield had accused him of using the
words—" I want another pull at the Exchequer" in the
debate on the Attachments Bill. He did not de so. It
was in the debate on the Rate in Aid Bill, and with refe-
rence to the Shannon job.
Mr. LAWLESS said the Hon. Member had passed
three personal insults upon Irish Members. He had
charged the Hon. Member for Longford with falsehood
—(Oh, and Order)—and the Hon. Member for Mayo
with being intoxicated, and—

The SPEAKER called the Hon. Member to order.
It was contrary to the rules of tho House to repeat
words which had been denied or retracted.

Mr. LAWLESS quite agreed with the Speaker, that
a great deal bad been said that would not redound to the
dignity and honour of the House. The Sheffield blade,
he was afraid, was like some that were made more for
show than work, and he thought the people of Sheffield
would soon find that out.—(oh and Divide.)
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
Ayes

The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed to-morrow (this day).
On our re-admission, we found the House in Commit-
tee (pro forma) on the Pour Relief (Ireland) Bill.
Major BLACKALL suggested that they should ap-
point a morning sitting for some not distant day, for the
purpose of proceeding with the Bill. After some con-
versation,

Lord J. RUSSELL assented to the proposition, and
Thursday, twelve o'clock, was fixed for that purpose.
On the motion of the LORD ADVOCATE, the Com-
mittee on the Marriage (Scotland)

Eine.

The County Cess (Ireland) Bill and the Loan Socie-
ties Bill were severally read a third time and passed.
The Bankrupt Law Consolidation Bill was read a
second time.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY observed that this Bill seemed
to be framed in an odd way. It contained very few
clauses, but the schedule was enormous—as big as a dic-

tionary. There was one provision in the Bill which
gave the Commissioners perfect legislative power to
make rules for their own courts, and any person who
did not obey those rules might be imprisoned for life.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said it was true the

Bill was drawn in a rather novel form, and that was
the reason he proposed that it should be referred to a

Select Committee.- The Hon. Gentleman then moved
that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee, consist-
ing of the following Members :—The Attorney-General,
Mr. Walpole, the Judge-Advocate, Mr. Diasterman,
Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Frederick Peel, Mr. Bouverie, Mr.
Miles, Mr. John Williams, Mr. Mullings, Mr. Brown,
Mr. Alderman Thompson, Mr. Edmund Denison, Mr.
Forster, and Mr. Heat'ncoat—Agreed to.
The Sites for Schools Bill went through Committee.
The Palace Court (Westminster) Bill was read a
second time, ou the motion of Lord DUDLEY
STUART, and was ordered to be committed on Friday.
On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL,
leave was given to bring in a Bill to extend the pro-
visions of the Acts for the more speedy trial and
punishment of juvenile offenders, and to apply the
same to the trial and punishment of larcenies of small
amount

The Bill was brought in and read a first time.
On the motion of Mr. ROEBUCK, the following
Members were appointed the Select Committee o❑ Debts
from Foreign Governments:—Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Glyn,
Mr. Disraeli, Mr. S. Wortley, Mr. J. A. Smith, Mr.
