effective.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY bad only onoobservation to make in reply. He had only taken
th
same course as a Noble Lord opposite had taken, in retll
the other night to a Noble Fiend of his on his-right
and he thought that out of courtesy the papers be ask!„,
for might have been granted. If he had been wrong u•
his supposition that the 6d. a day was not to be granwtedt
he begged to be excused for the error, and would
draw his motion, at least so far as the first part Was
concerned.
The motion was then, by leave, withdrawn.
COLVILLE PEERAGE.
Lord COLVILLE, after a brief conversation, postponed
his motion until to-morrow,
The Duke of RICHMOND thanked the Noble Lord
on behalf of the Scotch Peerage for having taken charge
of the matter, which he deemed to be of the utmost inv.
portance.
LAW OF SETTLEMENT.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented several peti•
Lions from Sussex and Northamptonshire, against the
Jaw of settlement. The petitioners from the latter
county. particularly complained that, after having, bf
subscriptions, succeeded in clearing their villages of the
persons who were, from their position, best fitted for
emigration, they had been inundated with poor from out
parishes. He thought that certainly the A" of the last
session was one of the most clumsy Acts of legislation
that had ever passed any public body, and trusted that
the Government would shortly bring forward soma Ine4-
sure for its amendment.

CASE OF MR. BUTT. nt
The Duke of RICHMOND had a petition to Pres.
of till,
from a person with whom he was unacquainted,
name of Butt. This person had been convict/id with
Lord Cochrane of having spread reports, before it 1)c
curred, of the capture of the late Emperor of the Fran-
„h
for which, together with his Lordship, he had bea9,i
subjected to a severe pecuniary penalty. ll* PrIlY-d
that, as their Lordships had dealt leniently v, Lor
Cochrane, they would do the sane with him, and stirs
him the 1,000/. in which he had been ful.,d._(l4oighter)
As he did not intend to take any measures, ha w°lll4
siruply lay it on the table.

HOUSE 01 COMMONS. March 29.
INSURRECTION IN CATALONIA. h a
Lord J. MANNERS said the Hon. Member ill
taken great credit to himself for nut Pu wag' 1,000
diers and 100 officers, whom he !led taken Peougrs, tLso
death ; but in reference to that he would Tr- luA„--,°
,
the soldiers of Don Carlos had to resist an unpile
at
sion by parties who had no legitimate riglit or 9
whatever in the country. He would turn from tf
speech of the Hon. and Gallant Member to the &pee': :
the Noble Lord—a speech which in tone and Sewer b
trusted would, on all future occasions on this subject
j
imitated by him. He further trusted that what b t
fallen from the Noble Lord would induce every 001,
in Spain to act on principles more in consonance
humanity and legitimate warfare than the proclaitll'°
ii
of Colonel Breton, referred to by the nen. Member f°l.
Evesham.
Lilo
Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to ask the --- NT oha
Lord whether it was right that proclamations should ":
issued from this country like the one referred to by t'o
Hon. Member for Evesham by an individual receiviv'
the hospitality of this country ?—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. P. BO fan WICK thought he had iu the Coale
of his observations guarded himself against any possie
allusion to the events of the late civil war in Spain. PI
had certainly not blamed the Hon. and Gallant Gewart,
opposite. He had certainly never said one word "'
reference to him, though the Noble Lord (Lord Palmer-
ston) had made some reference to it. What he meant t°
say was, that his observations had reference to the
present state of Spain, and not with respect to pet
against that country. The proclamation did 1);
denounce war, but it called upon the friends of the Conde
de Montemolin not to make any reprisals when war wag
levied against them.—(Order, order.)
Lord PALMERSTON —ln answer to the quesii°•lit
of the Hon. and Gallant Member, I beg to say thl6his
would be a great abuse of the hospitality which
country affords to every foreigner of any class or rank'
who chose to reside here, that they should issue procf.
mations of any kind tending to incite war and dila°
once between friendly states.—(Cheers.)
LANDLORD AND TENANTS HILL
In reply to a question from Mr. P. SCROPE,
Lord J. RUSSELL stated that the Governmentin-
tended to introduce a Bill on this subject ; but if the/
should not be enabled to introduce the Bill immediately
after Easter, it would be well if the Hon. Gentleman
would proceed with his Bill.—(Hear.)
MORTALITY IN IRELAND.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK was desirous to re 7
suine the inquiry he made a few days ago with respol
to the mortality in Ireland. He wished to ask the Chief
Secretary whether any serious or energetic effort
would
be made to ascertain the number of deaths this year fIP
compared with other years ? He was now about tt)
produce an. authority which he was sure the noun
would not call in question, as to the practicability Of
procuring such a return. It would be in the recollec-
tion of the House, that when he first mooted this ques-
tion, he was told, in reply, that a registry of death%
was only kept by the Protestant clergy, and that it
would be impossible to obtain from them the deaths of
those belonging to the Roman Catholic persuasion.
Now, he had received a letter from the brother of the
head of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland—(gr•
Sheil—" Who? who?")—the brother of the ArebbishtiP
of Tuam—(Cries of "He is not the head of the
Catholic Church." "Lie is not the head of
the Catholic Church,' front §lrail)'4ll
