The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour.
On the motion of Mr. TOOKE, the Earl of Courtoun's
Estate Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion of Captain ALSAGER, the South Me-
tropolitan Cemetery Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of Captain GORDON, the Dempsters'

On the motion of Sir S. WHALLEY, the Lords'

Mr. OSWALD brought up the Report on Milliken's
Estate Bill, which was read a third time and passed.
Mr. WILKS presented petitions from the Wesleyan
Methodists of Sittingbourne and Milton, praying for the
Abolition of Church Rates.

Mr. Sergeant JACKSON presented a petition from an
individual named Hulme, for an alteration of the Grand
Jury Laws. Also a petition from the inhabitants of Cork,
signed by 1,500 persons, complaining of his Majesty's Go-
vernment in Ireland having set aside the election made by
the Citizens of Cork of their Municipal Officers for the pre-
sent year. The petitioners considered the conduct that had
been pursued whimsical and arbitrary, and such as might
well be complained of.
Sir W. BRABAZON presented a petition from Mayo,
praying for the total abolition of tithes ; also, a petition
from the inhabitants of Killassa, imploring the House to in-
terpose their prerogative, and avert the calamitous conse-
quences which must necessarily result from such mischievous
proceedings, by a total extinction of that Irish blood-letting
and unjust impost " the tithes." As the subject was to
come under the consideration of the House to-night, he
begged to call the particular attention of the House to the
prayer of these petitions, one of which emanated from a
county containing a population of half a million of inhabi-
tants, and which was unanimously consented to by persons
of all religious persuasions.
FACTORIES BILL.

Mr. WAKLEY presented two petitions from Ashton-
under. Line, and another place, praying for a Ten Hours'
Bill ; also a petition from a Benefit Society of London,
praying the privilege of employing their own servants. Also
a petition from Lieutenant Colonel Horne, praying for en-
quiry into his case.
Mr. G. BARRY presented a petition, but from the low
tone in which the Hon. Member spoke, we could not collect
the subject of the petition, or the place from whence it
came.

POOR LAWS FOR IRELAND.
Mr. FINN presented a petition from a parish in
Queen's County praying for the introduction of Poor Laws
into Ireland ; also one from Ballynakill in the same
county praying for the abolition of Tithes ; and 9 peti-
tions to the same effect from parishes in the county of
Kilkenny signed by 7,157 persons.—(Hear, hear.) In
the year 1731 the Protestants in Kilkenny amounted to
1,880. By the census, in 1831 they had decreased to 1,586.
In the former year the Catholics were 5,860, while they
now had increased to '22,101. That was the natural re-
sult of the system of persecution which was pursued in
Ireland. He begged to move for the monthly return of
outrages committed in Ireland, as made to the Government
by the Inspectors of Police. He believed there would be
no opposition to the return.
Colonel PERCEVAL was sorry that no Member of
the Irish Government was present, for he (Colonel Perce-
val) believed there could be no such return made, as the
Government being afraid of allowing the number of out-
rages to be known, gave orders to the Inspectors.
Mr. FINN rose amidst loud cries of " Order, order!"
He would not detain the House a moment. He would
withdraw the motion now, and make it again when some
member of the Government was present.

Colonel PERCEVAL did not think it was fair on be-
half of the Hon. Member to interrupt him, as he had done,
in the middle of his speech. He hoped the Speaker would
have the goodness to state, for the instruction of the House,
whether it was competent for the Hon. Member to step
forward as he had done to prevent his exercising his pre-
rogative in that House ?
The SPEAKER thought as the Hon. Member had
expressed a desire to. withdraw his motion, that the subject
should not be discussed further.
The motion was then withdrawn. _

Mr. MAXWELL presented petitions from different
parts of Scotland, praying for an alteration in the Law of
Conveyancing, and the Statute Labour Act ; also, a peti-
tion from the hand-loom weavers of Perth and Norwich,
praying the House to legislate for their relief.
Dlr. BELL presented a petition from the Joint Stock
Banking Companies of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, complaining
of the Select Committee on Joint Stock Banks.

Mr. LEADER presented a petition from Bridgewater,
praying the House not to agree to the Lords' Amendments
to the Irish Municipal Bill.
PARISH CLERKS.

Lord SA NDON presented a petition from certain pa-
rish-clerks of Liverpool, praying the House to grant them
compensation in case the Bill for the registration of Wills
and Marriages should pass.
CORPORATIONS OF SCOTLAND.

Captain G.QIIDON presented a petition from the Cor-
poration of Traffickers of Leith, against the Bill for the
regulation of the Municipal Corporations in Scotland. The
Hon. and Gallant Member presented a petition from
the merchants, traders, and others engaged in the herring
fishery of Scotland, praying the House to take measures to
promote their interests in all treaties with Foreign Powers.
