time resulted from the method of giving the Royal As.
sent by commission during the business hours of the
House. Formerly it was given at a much earlier period
of the day, and a saving of public time was effected. He
moved that the Committee appointed to inquire into the
forms of the House should also take the subject of Royal
Commissions into their consideration. He moved that
Lord Ellenborougb, Lord Redesdale, and Lord Shaftes-
bury be added to the Committee.—Agreed to.
JUVENILE
WOFFITHENDERS
THE COMMONS. BILL—CONFERENCE
Messengers from the House of Commons appeared at
the bar, and requested a conference with their Lordships
upon the Juvenile Offenders Bill.
The following noblemen were selected to act for their
Lordships :—The Bishop of St. Asaph, the Earl of
Devon, the Earl of Eglintoun, Lord Monteagle, Lord
Kinnaird, and Lord Portman.
On their return, they reported the reasons of the
Commons' disapproval of their Lordships' amendments.
They were ordered to lie upon the table of the House.
Lord RODEN called the attention of the House to
the third report of the Commissioners appointed under
the Act 10th Viet., cap. 7, for the relief of distress in
Ireland, it having been stated therein, "that in some
cases the very chairmen of the relief committees, being
magistrates, have sanctioned the issue of rations to
tenants of their own of considerable holdings, possessed
of live stock, and who it was found had paid up their
last half-year's rent, and that intimidation—a very com-
mon cause of abuse—has in some cases been openly
encouraged by the committees." He moved that copies of
allinformations connected with these transactions which
had been made to the commissioners, together with the
names of such chairmen of committees and justices of
the peace referred to in the report be laid upon the table
of the House. He would occupy the attention of the
House but a very short time, while he direeted their
Lordship's attention to the very serious matter charged
against high persons in authority in Ireland, in the re-
port to which he alluded. He hoped their Lordships
would grant the motion which he now made, so long as
such charges were preferred by anonymous writers in
the public papers. He did not consider it his duty to
interfere or endeavour to protect the landed interest from
the base calumnies to which they were daily subjected.
He did not mean to say that there were not
some persons who had acted in the foul manner
intimated, but he did consider it was but an
act of justice to the resident gentry of Ireland
to lay upon the table of the House the names of the
guilty parties. He would not enter into a detail of the
calamities which had befallen his fellow-countrymen.
There was a sufficient proof in the unbounded charity of
the English people that they were known and felt, and
deeply sympathised in.—(Hear, hear.) The Protestant
gentry had also done themselves immortal credit ; they
had shared their last morsel with their Roman Catholic
brethren, and the Protestant clergy gave up their own
necessary comforts to alleviate the distresses of their
neighbours ; and, in fact, the more he considered
the conduct of the gentry in Ireland, the more
he was persuaded that the present report was
false, calumnious, libellous, and a one-sided report,
which was wholly unworthy of the confidence of their
Lordships.—(Hear, hear.) The report was regarded
with one universal feeling of sorrow and annoyance by
all classes in Ireland, and many gentlemen who had
given their whole time to the relief of the poor in acting
upon committees, were now quite unprepared to
.take
further responsibility upon them, lest they might be
considered to be included in the charges made by the
1
commissioners. It would have the effect of banishing
many of those gentlemen who had so acted. The Noble
Lord then read several letters from influential gentlemen
in various parts of Ireland, who had anxiously laboured
in the cause of humanity for eight months, and who all
denounced, in the strongest language, the report, which
they termed as false and libellous, and unworthy of
credence. The Noble Lord then went on to read
the report, which stated that the objects of the Act
could easily have been carried into effect, if the persons
who had entered upon the undertaking had done so with
honesty and earnestness of purpose, and that a trust-
worthy local management was generally unattainable for
smaller limits than those of a union. The report. fur-
ther noticed a gradation from the spirit of perfection
which in general animated relief committees, to a coun-
teracting spirit in the body, "a wrong feeling of one entire
class, a degree of apathy or neglect on the part of f some,
or the whole a yislding to intimidation, or seeking for
popularity, leading to the abandonment of any atthteamt p

' But, while be admitted
natural anxiety, he would
not agree that such a motion ought to be agreed in.
All the commissioners haddone was the taking of a
substantial view of the means taken for carrying on a mea-
e which had been enacted under circumstance of pe-
culiar difficulty ; and they had abstained from di-
recting attention to any particular locality which would

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of July 9.)
SCGAR.—To-day there was a stronger desire evinced
to operate in all kinds of Raw Sugar, and for all pur-
poses, whilst a rise in the value generally took place,
and some merchants have withdrawn their samples from
the market; that they should have resorted to this might
have been expected. West Indian Muscovado was in
excellent request, the purchases privately amounting to
830 hhds and trcs, at an advance on yesterday's rates of
6d per cwt, so that prices close the same as on Friday

last.
REFINED.—To-day there was a better demand from
the home trade for Refined goods; brown grocery Lumps
at 565, and Standard Lumps 575, Bonded Crushed Sugar

sells freely at 32s to 32s 6d for fine.
FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of any
kind of Foreign Sugar, whilst privately there was more
business transacted, and at rather higher rates. The
market is decidedly looking firmer.
MAußmos.—This afternoon there was no public sale
of Mauritius, and privately the operations were upon a
more extended scale, and rather higher rates were
obtained for all sorts.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was a brisker
demand for Bengal Sugar, and 1,721 bags at public sale
were sold at full rates; 400 bags fine strong white Cossi-
pore were taken in at 565, which is above the valae. Of
Madras, 3,937 bags were offered, and nearly all sold at

the full value. -
COFFEE. This afternoon there was little passing
privately in Coffee for home use or export, but prices
are unchanged. At public sale 121 bales 14 half-bales
Mocha sold—middling pale greenish at 60s to 61s, fine
long berry 75s to 80s, mixed peas 65s 6d to 66s 6d,
ragged 45s 6d, broken 29s 6d to 36s 6d, 409 bags La
Guayra in part sold ; fine bold grey 43s to 455, damaged
26s to 353, low middling sound bold was take i in at 50s.

30 casks Jamaica in part sold at 48s to 60s, middling
bought in at 86s to 88s.
TEL—No further advance can be quoted in the value
of black; but holders display firmness, and offer only a
moderate quantity for sale. The trade continue to be
inclined to increase their stocks, and a good business has
been transacted in all kinds of Congou this week, at full
former rates. In Green Teas a good business has been
done, but not at higher rates; still the quantity pressing
for sale is less than it was. At public sale yesterday
4,500 pkgs were offered, of which 2,000 were sold, chiefly
small boxes. There have been no arrivals since this day
week, whilst the deliveries for home use have been upon
a large scale since that time.
RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten-
tion, and at the public sales prices elightly gave way,
but the whole offered sold. _

SPICES.—For Black Pepper former rates are required,
but few sales have been matte privately in any sort, and
21d to 21c1 is the value of Sumatra. At public sale a
small parcel only of 2,760 packets Malabar found buyers.
White has been operated in with caution, and can be
obtained upon the low terms of 3id to sd, according to
quality. Pimento is not so much in request, and a slight
decline in the value occurred, whilst privately few sales
have been made. Cinnamon is offering rather under
former rates, but without much attention, as the quan-
tity that will be offered at the next quarterly sales will be
large, and of Ceylon is expected. to be 3,000 bales. There
continues to be ready sellers of Cloves, and at a public
sale of 681 pkgs Zanzibar prices declined id to d per lb,
but the whole sold. 10 bags Bourbon were taken in at
9d. Nutmegs have been operated in with caution pri-
vately, although there are sellers even at rather under
former rates. Mace is dull of sale and a little cheaper:
few purchases have been made privately. Cassia Lignea
is held with firmness, the supply being small; but little
desire has been shown to do b
business privately, and none
was offered at public sale. Ginger is not much required.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon there was a good de-
mand, and full rates were obtained. At public sale 30
bags Mexican black sold at 5s 3d to 5s Cd, and 50 bags
silvers 5s to 5s ld.
SALTPETRE.—There has been a strong desire mani-
fested to purchase rough for home consumption and ex-
portation, bat holders insisting upon an advance on
former rates of 6d per cwt operated against business
privately, and at auction 1794 bags of Calcutta were
only in part disposed of.
SPIRITS.—There is a very unfavourable opinion en-
tertained by all parties towards Rune and which is to be
ascribed to the smallness of the deliveries, and the large
quantities that are yet to arrive. Holders have been
eager sellers of all kinds this week upon further reduced
terms, still without inducing exporters or the home
trade to operate with more freedom. Although a re-
duction on former rates of 3d to 4d per gallon
has been submitted to for all kinds of Jamaica; still
the amount of business transacted has been to a small
extent only, and the total purchases made for home
consumption and exportation this week do not exceed
250 puns. Leeward Island suffered a further reduction
of Id to 2d, and the purchases made have been trifling.
Although East India can be obtained at 2s 6d to 2s 7d
proof with certificate, still there are few buyers to be
in
met with. Demerara has been operated with cau-
tion, and can be again obtained upon lower terins.
There is a large quantity of all kinds of Rum pressing
for sale, and an opinion exists that prices have not yet
arrived at their lowest point. Brandy has met with
more attention this week, but no improvement in the
value.
OlLs.—The demand has been active for Southern Oil
of all kinds this week, and an advance in the value took
place of lOs to 15s per tun. At public sales;4o tuns
were all sold. For Cod there are few buyand the
general quotation is still 271. For Pale Seal the demand
has much increased whilst a rise in the value of lOs to
20s per tun took place. By private treaty a
considerable business has been done at 271 lOs
to 281, at which holders are firm. In other quali
ties the operations are upon a more extended scale.
Sperm prices do not improve, but the operations are
upon a more extended scale privately, and at auction
80 tuna were sold. There are further arrivals of Fish
Oils, but the deliveries continue on the increase. Rap.e-
seed Oil has been extensively dealt in, and a further rise '
in the value took place. The supply is less plentiful,
whilst the consumption is large. For Palm prices tend
downwards although a good demand. exists privately. Cocoa
Nut is less wanted, still prices rule high. There are seve-
ral orders in the market unexecuted. For Linseed Oil the
market has assumed a quiet appearance, and a declinein
the value took place, although the supply
continues
.to
be small. On the spot the home tradeb opr ted with

which obstructed their endeavours. The commissioners
said that they had been so far effective, and they only

not in even a large minor;ty—but in many cases, certain
difficulties interposed. The commissioners, in a para-
graph which the Noble Earl had omitted to read, praised
the conduct of those gentlemen who acted en the
Finance Committee, which, be it remembered, was the
highest and most confidential post that could be en-
trusted to any man or set of men. He considered that
when a Commission was appointed to inquire into the
general working of any measure, it would be highly im-
proper for them to descend into particular details by men-
tioning names. Supposing a Commission was appointed
to inquire into smuggling, and they reported that there
was a general feeling along the coast in favour of smug-
gling. Would it be wise, or prudent, or just, to men-
tion the names of the person's wives and daughters who
felt that sympathy?—(Hear, hear.) He could bear his
testimony to that of the Noble Lord, to the humane,
charitable, and benevolent conduct of the gentry and
clergy of Ireland during the calamity which had befallen
the country. They had sacrificed their time, and in
many instances, their lives, to alleviate the sufferings of
their poorer neighbours.=(Hear, hear.) Such an in-
quiry ought not to be granted, if it were only from the
lateness of the session, which would frustrate any useful
end resulting from it. The Government did intend to
inform su.-th of their officers as had been implicated, that
a charge had been made against them, and they would
then Cave an opportunity of defending themselves, and
making a statement to the Government.
Lord BROUGHAM recommended the withdrawal of
the motion, but at the same time he thanked the Noble
Earl for having brought the question under the atten-
tion of the House. He did consider that if the magis-
trates did not fully exculpate themselves, they shoulp
be removed from the commission of the peace. It would
not do for them to deny the charge upon their honour,
as two Members of the Lower House had done—that
would not do.—(Hear, hear.) They should fully ex-
culpate themselves, or be removed. He did not wish to
know the names of the guilty parties, it would only give
him an opportunity of despising a human creature,
which was always a disagreeable sensation.—(Laughter.)
Earl FITZWILLIAM said that, with every respect
for the gentlemen who had made that report, he did
think that it would have been better to have conceived it

matter of a personal nature which he had given notice o f
the day before. He would content himself by laying the
facts of the case before the House, and leave it to deal
with. them. On Tuesday last, in the exercise of that
ye‘ weiee it wee; se deseeei s's •I, tee, t
tered by any circumstances whatever, he, -after attending
to the debate on the subject of the Raja of Sattarah, had
come to the conclusion that it was his duty to vote against
the motion of the Hon. Member for Montrose. Happen-
ing
to sit next morning near the Hon. Member for
Rochester, the Hon. Member for Montrose came across ".
the House, and, in an excited manner—(Laughter)—
said to him, " You voted against me last night." Ho I
(Mr. Spooner) replied that he had done so, when the
Hon. Member rejoined, " I will bring the conduct of .
your son before the House." The Hon. Member also
threatened to do the same with respect to a near relative
of the Hon. Member for Gateshead (Mr. Hutt) who had
also voted against him; and he added, " I am prepared to
prove that only 13 independent Members voted against
me."—(Laughter.) That was the real statement of the
facts.. He (Mr. Spooner) immediately said that if the •
Hon. Member had any charge to prefer against his son,
he would, as a matter of courtesy, state to him what
were the particulars of his charges, so that he might
have an opportunity of replying to it. The Hon. Member
for Montrose's only reply was—" Look to the
Blue-book and see the certificate he gave—he --
was a magistrate concerned in the matter." He (Mr.
Spooner) did not know at the time what was the proper
language for him to use—(Laughter)—but he consulted
several of his friends of more experience than himself, and :
they had told him that this was a matter which he could
not let pass, and that he ought to state the thing to the
House, and let the House deal with it as it thought fit.
ought If this were not a breach of privilege, it at least assumed
the character of intimidation, and it was conduct cer-
tainly that htHonuoset
toto
thebe withheld from the
knowledge of the House. He
owenouelleddieg just call the
attention of thegcircum-
stance, that whatever might be the ground of the
charge which the lion. Member for Montrose had to
bring against his son, that this was a singular time to
do it, considering that he had had the Blue-book before
him, in which the transaction with which his son
was connected had been for two years recorded. But
the Hon. Member for Montrose did not confine himself
to the single charge, for he also brought a charge •
against a relative of the Hon. Member for Gateshead.
These were the circumstances to which he had to call the
attention of the House, and he trusted that his expres-
sions in doing so had evinced no improper feeling. He
would now leave the matter altogether at the dis-
posal of the House. If it were necessary that he ,
should explain the reason why he had given this
vote he was prepared to do so, but as he could impart no
new information upon the subject he had preferred giv- .
ing a silent vote upon the subject. He would here leave
the matter entirely in the hands of the House.
Mr. HUME said that in all his experience this was the
most extraordinary speech that had ever been made by
any Member in that House. While sitting at home, at five
o'clock, he had received a note from the Hon. Member for
Birmingham, requesting him to be in the House at four
o'clock. He (Mr. Hume) was entirely at a loss to Un-
derstand what he wanted with him. He did not know
whether the Hon. Member thought that he had com-
mitted some violation of his Seduction Act—(Roars of
laughter)—or what it might have been that the
Honourable Member intended to charge him with. But
he was now undeceived upon the point, and he would
leave it to the House whether any lion. Member in it
had ever heard a charge like this brought forward. It
appeared to him that the Hon. Member ought to be
I obliged to him instead of complaining of his conduct.—
(Laughter.) What he had said to th Hon. Member for
Birmingham was, " I see you voted against me last
night ;" he said " I did." " Have you seen the result
of the numbers ?" " No." " Then I can tell
you, that out of the numbers who voted against
me twenty-eight belonged to the late and present Go-
vernment and to the East India House, ,and only four-
teen independent Members really voted against the
motion. I therefore put the fourteen independent
Members against my twenty-three supporters, and I
consider that the division was in my favour."—(Laugher.)
He referred to the Mr. Spooner mentioned in the Blue
book, and the Hon. Member for Birmingham said " He
is my son." He (Mr. Hume) then said, "On Tuesday
next I will give the House an opportunity of reconsider-
ing this question, and I will then refer to this
division, and show that only fourteen independent
Members voted against me." That was all that had
taken place, and a more gratuitous interference on the
part of the Hon. Member for Birmingham he had
never seen. It would be his duty on Tuesday next to
show that both the Hon. Member for Birmingham and
the Hon. Member for Gateshead had been influenced
by external circumstances ; their near relatives
being acting magistrates in the earlier history
of these circumstances, the one being the magis-
trate before whom the robber was brought, on whose
body was found the papers connected with the Goa con-
spiracy, and the other the magistrate who imprisoned
Govind Row, the principal minister of the late Raja.
He did not mean to impugn their characters as magis-
trates, because he could show that they had acted under
instructions from head-quarters. The Hon. Member
bad charged him with a breach of privilege ; he
thought he could better charge the Hon. Member
with a breach of confidence in thus bringing
before the House private conversation. He thought the
Hon. Member for Birmingham, had not, in this instance,
acted with his usual good sense and correct judgment.
Mr. HUTT said that the lion. Member for Montrose
did not always exhibit a most perfect wisdom, nor
was his language and demeanour, on all occasions,
the most delicate and proper. He (Mr.
Hutt) cared not for any a`tempts that might
be made to asperse his relations by the
Hon. Member for Montrose. lie always received them
with cheerfulness, and it fact rather liked them.—
(Laughter.) The Hon. 'Member then proceeded to
state, that when Govind Row was placed in prison Mr.
Hutt proceeded immediately to release him, had him
placed in one of the principal houses in the town, and
bad his comforts carefully attended to. The minister of •
the late Raja wished to make a private communication to
him, but he was informed before doing so that such commu-
nicationwould be forwarded to the Government of Bombay.
It appeared that Govind Row made a full confession of
the circumstances of the conspiracy, but that he after-
wards retracted it, and stated as his reason for doing so
that it had been extorted from him while he was con-
fined in a dungeon. The Hon. Member for Montrose
seemed to think that Mr. Hutt had been instrumental
in placing this person in a dungeon, for the express
purpose of extorting that confesssion from him.
—(Hear, hear.) But this was utterly at variance
with the truth.—(Hear, hear.) He sincerely trusted
that the Hon. Gentleman would abstain for the future
in making charges which were devoid of truth.
Mr. BANKES entirely repudiated the notion that
there was any privacy in the conversation which the
Hon. Member for Montrose had with the Hon. Member
for Birmingham. He spoke so loud that any one sitting
near the Hon. Member for Birmingham could not fail to
I hear the purport of his observations ; in fact it seemed
as it the Hon. Member for Montrose had come over
to the Hon. Member for Birmingham for the express
purpose of making the statement to him. When he
evotes.
made use of the observations referred to, he (Mr. Bankes)
told him that he must be joking ; but he (Mr. Hume)
replied that it was no joke, tied that he should bring it
1 before the House. He (Mr. Bankes), however, was no

Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I am much of the same
opinion as the Hon. Baronet who has just resumed his
seat. I think, to speak to gentlemen after they have
voted, and to impute to them that they have given
their votes, not in accordance with their own opinion,
but in consequence of the opinions of their connexions, is
a most unbecoming thing, and if it were done with
respect to the generality of the votes of this House the
greatest inconvenience could not fail to be the result •
but I do not think, for we have been long acquainted
with the language used by the lion. Member, that he
really meant to impute any improper motives. The
lion. Member possesses a charter of liberty, and has
never made himself a very strict master of the English
lauguage.—(Roars of laughter.) I think he made the
statement without anybody, either within or withouthter

Mr. AGLIONBY admitted that he had fallen into
an error ; he had misunderstood the Noble Lord—
(Laughter)—but if the Honourable Gentleman was
privileged, it was on account of his good humour,
and on account of his anxiety to assist any Hon. Mem-
ber to whom his experience would be useful, and
he was sure both his former and present services had
created a debt of gratitude on the part of the country,
which never would be paid.—(Cheers) He believed
him wholly free from blame. Ho trusted the matter
would go no further.

in a different spirit, and expressed itin different language.
They had arrived at a very eventful period, and he was
sorry to say that very little had been done during the
present session for Ireland. They had promised much,
but they had performed little ; but he hoped that
another Parliament would effect much greater good. He
had no doubt, a large expenditure of English capital by
the Government would render Ireland an assistance in-
stead of a burden to England ; but at the present mo-
ment he saw nothing but a great deal of want and misery
in that country for some time to come, a small niggardly
outlay would do no good.
Lord MONTEAGLE presented his thanks to the
Noble Lord opposite for having brought forward the
proposition which he had done, and he would support
him if he was willing to go to a division. It would be
utterly unbecoming if some person representing some of
the classes impeached did not refute it ; it was a serious
charge, and one which ought to be investigated, as it
was to those very persons they characterised. The
working of the new poor-law was entrusted. He was
not about to go the length of saying that no instances of
abuse existed, even if such a measure was introduced into
this country, more enlightened as it was, abuses would
arise, more or less numerous according to circumstances.
In the province of Connaught there were persons acting
upon relief committees who could neither read nor
write, nor speak any language save Irish, and when such
a description of persons officiated, was it to be wondered
that abuses should occur? Yet, nevertheless, these
charges would not rest upon such a class, but upon the
lauded gentry. The money which was given to the
country was not given in a confiding spirit, and if it had
been a much smaller sum, and given in such a spirit, it
would have done more to cement the union between the
countries than any measure which could hereafter be

effected.
The Earl of RODEN then begged leave to withdraw
his motion. He considered that the discussion which
had arisen would effect a great deal of good.
The motion was then withdrawn.
SEDUCTION AND PROSTITUTION SUPPRES-
SION BILL.

IMPROVEMENTS OF LONDON.
Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know from the
Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests,
whether it was the intention of the Government to carry
the improvements in London known as New Coventry..
street on towards Covent-garden ? He understood that
his Grace the Duke of Bedford, who owned property in
that quarter of the metropolis, had offered the muni-
ficent sum of 13,0001. towards effecting these improve-
ments.
Lord MORPETII said that he exceedingly regretted
that the state of the public finances would preclude any
possibility of the Government bringing in a Bill in this
session of Parliament for that purpose ; they would,
therefore, be unable at present to accept of his Grace
the Duke of Bedford's liberality, but he trusted that
in another session of Parliament some steps .be
taken to accomplish this great and much neededwould
im-
provement.

had to request the No

ascertained. He
and authentically had had no commu-
nication with his Grace the Duke of Wellington upon
the subject, and the only communication which in any
way hinted at what the Duke's feelings might be was
that which he (Lord J. Russell) received from Mr.
Croker some time ago. Her Majesty had expressed a
wish that nothing should be done that would be painful
—(Cheers)—or that might be considered disrespectful to
that great and most justly celebrated personage.—
(Cheers.) It was his wish, therefore, to ascertain
from some authentic source what the real opinion
of the Duke of Wellington was upon this subject,
because if his Grace were averse to the removal of the
statue from its present pedestal, he (Lord John Russell)
should not propose the vote in supply which he might
otherwise do, her Majesty having declared her desire, in
that case, to allow the statue to remain as at present.
\
Lord G. BENTINCK had nothing to say, but at once
to consent to the postponement of his motion.
Sir F. TRENCH hoped that on Monday he should be
allowed to read the letter addressed by the Sub-Com•
mittee to the Duke of Wellington, and his Grac's an-f
swer thereto, which contained the very expression o
* feeling which the Noble Lord at the head of the Go-
vernment was so anxious to ascertain.
