DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.

Mr. O'CONNELL moved the further consideration of
the Report of the Committee on the Dublin and Drogheda
Railway.

Mr. -F. SHAW had abstained from taking any part in
the discussions upon the Bill in Committee ; but
from all he could learn, and from what he had pe-
rused of the evidence, he had not the least doubt
that great public advantage would accrue from the
proposed line, and from the consequent introduction of
English capital into the country. There was no question
between the two lines, nor could there be any doubt as to
the great superiority of the coast line. As that was the last
opportunity he should have, he felt it his duty to state what
his sentiments upon the Bill were. •
Mr. C. WOOD made an observation relative to the
Board of Admiralty, which we did not hear.
Mr. O'CONNELL was satisfied that there would be
no objection on the part of the Admiralty ; and besides,
they had no jurisdiction over the Dublin Harbour, which
was vested in the Ballast Board of Dublin. There was
but one opinion relative to the conduct of the Ballast Board
of Dublin, and that was, that it had done its duty fairly,
impartially, and most usefully.—(Hear.)
MORNING SITTINGS.

Mr. WALLACE moved thL;ttl;ll;use at its rising do
adjourn to Monday at twelve o'clock, to take into consi-
deration the Poole Corporation Bill.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET had heard no rea-
son assigned for such a proceeding, and should certainly op-
pose it.

Mr. POULTER, said the object was to take into
consideration a case of great injustice, that had
been now four months before the House.—(Hear, hear.)
The matter was not a grievance of a local nature,
but a gross abuse of the Municipal Reform Bill ; and on
these grounds he should support the motion of the lion.
Member for Greenock.

Mr. WYNN did not think there was anything in this
Poole Corporation Bill which gave it such importance
as that it should supersede ' all Public Bills, and
the whole of the business of that House in Committees.
Besides, Members of that House were obliged to take
food and nourishment the same as other persons, and if the
House sat from twelve o'clock to three, and then met again
at half-past four, there would not be time for it. They
would have to go into a Committee of Supply, in order to
vote that dinners be provided in the House for the Mem-
bers. It was absolutely necessary that the Members
should have time for taking food, exercise, and doing
other business ;1 the consequence would be that all the
business would be transacted in their houses.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL was understood to object to
the House sitting on Monday morning.—(Hear, hear,
hear.) From what he had seen last night, he appre-
hended there would be great opposition to many of
the clauses, and therefore he considered it would be ad-
visable to have it discussed in a full House, although
he should be satisfied with any arrangement the House
might come to.
Mr. E WART thought that if the House sat at 12
o'clock there would be greater moderation and sobriety—
(Hear, hear, and laughter)—of language, and he had
observed that during the time of the Morning Sittings
Hon. Members had made much shorter speeches.
Mr. J. HEATH COTE protested most strongly against
this measure being taken if it was to supersede other
business.
