HEALTH OF LADY JOHN RUSSELL.--Lady John
Russell, according to inquiries last evening, in Chesham-place
is progressing favourably towards convalescence. The Noble
Lord's Parliamentary dinners and also her Ladyship's assem-
blies are postponed sine die,

and provide a uew character and a new face for Ireland.
He had now only to thank the House, in conclusion, for the
patience with which they had listened to him—and whatever
might be the result of the measure, and after what had fallen
from Hon. Members in the course of the debate he no longer
expected it would now be carried —he was per-
suaded that ultimately it must be successful.—
(Loud cheers.) He honoured those gentlemen who
sacrificed conviction to party, but lie thought if any
Irish Member wished well to his country, he could not refuse
to give his sanction to this measure, which no polittcal agitator,
whether he were repealer or imperialist, who had the love and
benefit of his country at heart, could object to. No measure
for the relief of Ireland half so comprehensive, or half so
practical, had ever yet been prepared by any one, and he could
only say, whatever might be its result, that it had been brought
forward in perfect good faith, without any aim or intention of
doing injury to the Government, although they did aspire to
the hope of its benefiting a nation.—(Cheers.)
On the motion of Mr. B. OSBORNE, the debate was
adjourned till to-morrow.
On the motion of Mr. C. O'BRIEN, copies of the follow..
ing correspondence were ordered :—Copy of Colonel Jones's
letter to Mr. Trevellian, dated the 28th day of November, 18,46,
referred to in Mr. Trevellian's letter of the 21 day of Decein-
her, 1846. Copy of Mr. Hornsby's letter to Samuel Gamble,
C.E., referred to in Mr. Gamble's letter of the 8:h day of
January, 1847, addressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Jones.
COTTON WOOL.
On the motion of Mr. BRIGHT, the followinc, return was
ordered :—Return of the quantity of cotton woolh exported
from the British possessions in India in each year during which
the accounts have been kept, stating the ports from which the
shipments were made, the quantity shipped at each port, and
the countries to which the cotton was exported, and the ship-
ments to each country.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock.
