HO USE OF COMMONS, Midges 18.
SPEAKERThe took the Chair at Four o'Clock.
The Whitby Improvement Bill was read a third
and passed.
On the motion of Mr. HINDLEY the British India
Sugar Company's Bill was real a first time.
The South Western Railway Bid was read a third
time and passed.
Lord JAMES STUART brought in the Ardres-
san Harbour 13d1, which was read a first time.
Mr. PALMER presented a petition against the
Medical Bill of Mr. Hawes.
Mr. EASTHOPE presented thirty petitions from
various places, praying for the abolition of Church-
rates, the abolition of Ecclesiastical Courts, and the
release of Mr. W. Baines. Also one signed by
six thousand inhabitants of Leicester, of all shades
of religion and politics ; it was signed by the
Mayor, all the Aldermen, and Common-Council.
They stated that they had seen with indignatio❑ and
regret William Baines, a man every way worthy their
estt ern and regard, immured in a gaol for no moral
offence, but merely for conscience sake. They believed
that such a proceeding was calculated to produce the
greatest mischief, and they prayed for the immediate
liberation of Mr. Baines, for the extinction of Church-
rates, and the abolition of the jurisdiction of the Eccle-
sia tics!
Mr. H. SMITH presented petitions from the Board
of Guardians of a Union in Somersetshire against cer-
tain clauses in the Poor-law Amendment Bill, and a
petition against any further grant to the College of
Maynooth.
Mr. LOCH presented a petition from the Glasgow,
Paisley, aad Greenock Railway Company, praying for a
reduction of the duty on railway passengers ; a petition

duties ; from the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow to
the same efEct ; from the Provost and Town Council
of Wick for a repeal of the Corn-laws ; and from the
fish-curers of Sutherland and Caithness praying that
the Fishing Board might not be abolished.
Sir. G. CREWE presented petitions from several
places in Derby against certain clauses in the Poor-law
B 11.
Mr. ROUND presented a petition from the Board
of Guardians of Dunmore, in Essex, praying the conti-
nuance of the Poor-law Commissioners for five years,

netted with local interests, and who would
advocate the claims of different places, extending
along the whole coast. He thought that the appoint-
ment of a Committee would tend greatly to defeat the
object. He admitted that there was one part
of the Report of the Commissioners uptin which
there was some doubt, and upon which it might
be necessary to have further information. It was
thought that the object might be effected at a smaller
expense. If it could be done for a quarter of a million
instead of two millions, all parties must desire such a
result ; but he thought that that saving would be much
better effected by the proper officers. Ho trusted that
his Hoe. Friend, upon the assurance that the informa-
tion which he possessed should be referred to the oil-
cers appointed by the Treasury, would not render it
necessary to go to a division.
Mr. MACKINNON wished to say a few
words in answer to the Right Honourable Gentle-
man the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Right
Hon. Gentleman objected to the Committee beeawe
only gereral rearons bad been given for its appointment.
He would beg leave to call the Right Honourable
etteution to one point, which he (Mr.
M‘Kinnon) thought should be a cause of his ad-
mitting the Committee to be appointed in
the rest nt care. It was well known that
along the coast of Sussex shingles collected
in great quantities at the entrance of harbours
There were two descriptions of harbours—one was called
a Lack-water harbour, the other a deep-water harbour
Of the former description of harbour there were trio
on the coast of Kent—Dover and Ramsgate. 'Dime
harbours were cleansed out by the backwater, which
as it retired met the shingles, and in conse-
quence a deposit was made at the entrance
of the harbour, which formed what was called
a bar, which in a few years would accumu-
litl to such size as to render the harbour utterly useless.
The other description of harbour—the deep water—
was such as was found et Dunleary or Kingstown,
outside Dublin. how, he would leave it to
the Right Hon. Gentleman whether or not it was
worth while to ascertain which of these two descrip-
tions of harbours should be made on the coast of Sus-
sea. The settling of that point might save the country
millions, while the expense of a Co.ernittee was nothing.
He could see no objection whatever to the ascertaining
of that point. They would thereby get the opinions
of engineers, who were at variance on the subject, which
ade 'ed,

Mr. GROTE gave notice, that in Committee on the
Poor-law Bill, he would move an alteration of the 17th
clause, in order to provide more easy employment for
the casual poor in the unions of the City of Loi.don.
Mr. HALFORD gave notice of some amendments
he intended to propose in the Committee on the Poor-
law Bill.

FACTORIES.
Mr. F. MAULE gave notice that on Monday next
be should move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate
the employment of persons in factories.
On the motion of Sir HESKETH FLEETWOOD
certain returns were ordered relative to the County
Court of Lancaster. •
Mr. HOGG moved for leave of absence for Sir
Richard Jenkins until after Easter.
Mr. PATTISON objected to the motion, and sub-
mitted whether the Hen. Member ought net to state
some special reason for his motion.
Mr. HOGG said he applied on the ground of indis-
position ; and when he stated that Sir Richard Jenkins
had been for two years Chairman of the Court of
Directors of the East India Company, that
he had been in constant attendance almost every day
from ten till five, superadded to his attendance in that
House, and that his general health was so impaired that
he had been ordered to go abroad for its restoration,
he had no doubt the House would grant the indulgence
asked for.
Mr. PATTISON—I saw Sir Richard Jenkins at
the Opera House on Monday last.—(Great laughter.)
I move, Sir, that the application be postponed for a
week.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but
Mr. ELLIOT rose and said, that he hoped his Hon.
Friend would not oppose the motion for leave of absence.
Mr. HOGG had already stated to the House that
Sir Richard Jenkins was generally affected in his
health, and perhaps the worst of all illness was that
affecting a man's general health—when a man was ill,
and could not tell what was the matter with him.—
(Roars of laughter.) He must express his surprise
that any Hon. Member would offer opposition to the
motion under such circumstances.
Mr. PATTISON hoped the Hon. Member's me-
dical attendant would be examined.—(Oh.)
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division
took ;lace, and the motion was agreed to.
