CONSTABULARY FORCE (IRELAND, &c.) BILL.
The House then went into Committee on this Bill,
and the various clauses were agreed to.
NAVIGATION (No. 2) BILL.
On the order of the day for bringing up the report
upon this Bill being read,
Lord JOHN MANNERS moved the insertion of a
clause ih the Bill, suspending the stamp duties on
policies of insurance effected on grain-laden British
ships till the Ist day of March, 1848.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed
the clause.
After a few words from Mr. Forster, Mr. Thornely,
and Lord J. Manners, in reply,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw. No division,
however, took place, the clause having been withdrawn.
The report upon the Bill was then agreed to.
RECOVERY OF PUBLIC MONEYS (IRELAND)
BILL.
The House then went into Committee on this Bill, and
Lord CLEMENTS denounced, on the part of Ireland,
the injustice of any attempt on the part of the Govern-
ment to recover the repayment of even a single shilling
of the monies which had been advanced by this country.
Mr. HUME and Mr. P. SCROPE insisted upon the right
of this country to exact a punctual repayment of the
loans advanced by it.
Sir J. GRAHAM thought that it was highly neces-
sary that some distinct understanding should be come to
upon the subject of these loans, and that the utmost
punctuality should be observed in the repayment of the
several instalments in exact conformity with the laws
under which the money had been advanced. At the same
time he would have no objection to allow to the Govern-
ment a discretionary power, with respect to some of the
poorer parts of the country, as to the mode and amount
of the repayments to be made.
After a few words from Lord CLEMENTS,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that a more inappropriate occasion could not have been
chosen by the Noble Lord for expressing the opinion he
had just stated to the House than the present one, when
the Bill under consideration actually proposed to remit
one-half of the amount of debt to which the people of
Ireland were liable, under the laws which had been
passed at their own most earnest and urgent request, as
being necessary to prevent the people from starvation.
Mr. TRELAWNY thought that it was the duty of
the House to enforce payments of the loan, and it no
other means were available, they ought to sell the lands
of Ireland, and even the owners of it themselves.—
(Laughter.)
Mr. W. PATTEN thought that the feelings of the
people of this country were extremely acute upon the
subject of the relief afforded to Ireland, and they would
insist upon the repayment of the money which had been,
perhaps, too liberally and too lavishly bestowed by
Parliament. The people of Liverpool had suffered most
severely from the effects of Irish distress.
Lord CLEMENTS thought that there was no place
on the face of the earth which ought with greater fairness
to be taxed for the support of the Irish poor than
Liverpool, for that port derived great profits from its
commercial transactions with the people of Ireland.
Mr. NEWDEGATE thought it most preposterous to
set against the disease and privations to which the inha-
bitants of Liverpool had beeri•exposed, the profits which
a few individuals might make by their private transac-
tions with the people of Ireland.
Mr. BROTHERTON thought that this country had
deserved great credit for the assistance it had rendered
to Ireland in the late distress, and he sincerely hoped
that the money advanced would be gratefully and
punctually repaid.
After a few words from Mr. Trelawny, Sir R. Fer-
guson, the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. W. Brown,
and Lord W. Powlett,
The whole of the clauses were agreed to, and the
House having resumed, the Chairman reported accord-
ngly.

- HERRING FISHERY (SCOTLAND).
This Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third
time on Monday.
DESTITUTE PERSONS (IRELAND) BILL (No. 3).
This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Monday.
PUBLIC WORKS AND DRAINAGE (IRELAND)

BILL.
This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be
committed on Monday.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to know what
course the Government intended to pursue with re-
spect to the business of Monday. He wished to
know whether it was intended that the House should sit
at an early hour, and whether it was intended to proceed
with the second reading of the Bishopric of Blanchester
Bill.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER under-
stood that it was the wish of the Noble
Lord at the head of the Government that the
House should sit on Monday at three o'clock,
and after the private business had been dis-
posed of he should move the Committee of Supply
before the other orders of the day, and after
that the Committee of Ways and Means.
With regard to the Bishopric of Manchester
Bill, although it stood for a second reading on Monday,
ho did not think it would come on. His Noble Friend
at the head of the Government had stated his anxiety to
bring that measure forward either on Tuesday or Thurs-
day, but he would on Monday state what course he
intended to pursue.
Lord MORPETH brought in a Bill to amend the Act
for the Enclosure and Improvement of Commons,
which was read a first and ordered to be read a second
time.
The House then adjourned to Monday at three o'clock
