IRISH POOL-LAW BOARD.

Mr. SHAW desired to know, before the permanent
Poor-law Bill came into operation, what was the or-
ganization which the Noble Lord proposed to etf. ct in the
new poor-law board, especially as it related to Ireland.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that a short Bdl arranging
the organization of that board was now under con-
sideration of the Government. Amidst the hurry of bu-
siness he had not been able to examine its provisions,
but they would bring it forward on e, very early day.
RAILWAY PLAN FOR IRELAND.

Colonel WOOD desired to know whether the Noble
Lord, the Member for Lynn, would bring forward his
Bill for a system of railways fur Ireland.
Lord G. BEN LINCK said that it entirely depended
upon the business of the House.
Mr. S. O'BitIEN said it was the wish of the Irish
Members that the Noble Lord would defer it until
Tuesday next.
MONEY TO IRISH RAILWAYS.

Colonel OSBORNI4: &sired to know what sum of
money had been granted for the earthworks of the
Limerick arid Waterford Railway ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he could not answer the question off hand.
PRESENTMENTS IN IRELAND.

Sir H. BARRON wished to know why the Board of
Works had delayed to send doAn drainage surveyors to
carry into operation the sums of money which had been
advanced under the Act commonly called Mr. Laheu-
chore's Act. He hoped that his Right Hon. Friend
would explain to the House why the delay had taken
place.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said, that unless he had the re-
port of the Board of Works he could not give a distinct
answer. The Board of Works had been obliged to
delay longer than they could have wished the examina-
tions necessary to the presentments before the money
could be advanced to carry them out, as, in many in-
stances, there had been a difficulty in finding competent
surveyors to undertake the works. The Board of Works
Mr. W. COLLET

itself was most anxious to facilitate the works.

and Waterford Railway?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that in order to answer the Hon. Gentleman it was ne-
cessary that he should read the Treasury Minute which
had sanctioned the advance.—(Hear.) The Minute
stated that the Commissioners of the Public Works
had, with regard to a portion of the line for which
the authority of Parliament bad been obtained, advanced
sums of money for the execution of the earth-works ;
and with regard to that portion of the line for which the
authority of Parliament had not been obtained, and of
which it was intended to alter the course as soon as the
consent of all the landholders should have been obtained,
the money necessary for the earth works would be
advanced.

How TO READ THE DEBATES.—AS it is really a
day's labour to read the debates—and it is a luxury which
only gentlemen possessing 1,0001. a-year can afford—we
advise persons who wish to acquire some knowledge of
the Legislature of their country, and yet have their
business or pleasure to attend to, merely to glance over
the " hears" and the "cheers," which are interspersed, like
so many glow-worms, along the dark, interminable lanes
of type. The "laughs" also are worth stopping in one's
dreary journey to listen to ; and an " order from the
Speaker" may also justify a momentary stoppage ; but
when there is nothing but a gloomy expanse of level, un-
broken, barren-looking print before the reader, we recom-
mend him to run over it as fast as he can, not to make
a single Ptop, but to jump over each member's style in
the most expeditious manner. The spots we have marked
are the only places worth halting at—the few oases in the
grand Parliamentary desert—all the rest is dust, dust, dust,
nothing but dust, which wouM blind in time the strongest
pair of eyes, and lay up the most indefatigable reader. By
pursuing this line of march the bold traveller who intends
running through the Arabian Petrrea of debates, will get to
the end of his day's journey in the early part of the morning,
and will have all the afternoon for resting himself. With a
feeling of the truest benevolence we wish him a happy jour-
ney.—Punch
The Queen of Prussia, according to accounts from
Berlin, was taken suddenly and seriously ill at the com-
mencement of last week. Her Majesty, we are glad to learn
by the hulletius issued by the Couit phyaioiand, isprugresaing

BREWING FROM SUGAR BILL,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
third reading of this Bill, whereupon
Mr. MOFFATT moved the insertion of clauses, because the
Bill did not provide for penalties.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted the
clauses, and they were therefore withdrawn.
Mr. MOFFATT then moved the insertion of another
clause equalising the rights and privileges of all distillers in
England, Ireland, and Scotland, with those of the colonies.
The business of distilling in this country was a perfect mono-
poly, and unless the regulations were reformed, and the rrivi-
-
ges extended, none but very large capitalists could embark in
the trade, and hence there could be no extension of this branch
of our manufactures.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER oppo!ed the
clauses.

Mr. HUME was decidedly of opinion that spirits of Eng-
land, Ireland, and Scotland, ought to be put upon an equality,
and that those spirits should be allowed to be bonded, in the
same way as colonial spirits.
After a few words from Mr. GOULBURN and the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the clause was with-
drawn.
The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time.
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' BILL.
This Bill was brought in and read a first time.
PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE.

The SERGEANT-AT-ARMS said that he had taken into
custody, by order of the House, a gentleman for hating im-
properly intruded himself into the gallery set apart far Hon.
Members.

Mr. JAMES said that he was acquainted with the party in
question, and knew him to be a respectable person ; it was
quite by mistake that he had entered the gallery instead of
the strangers' gallery; being a stranger to the place he had
inquired of the policeman in attendance the way to the
gallery, and was directed by him to that part of the House
where he was found when taken into custody ; he begged,
therefore, to move that the Sergeant-at-Arms be requested to
discharge him out of his custody.
Mr. GREENE seconded the motion.
The prisoner was, therefore, ordered to be discharged out of
custody.
The House then adjourned at a Quarter-past Eleven o'Clock.

WASTE LANDS IRELAND.

Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN gave notice that, to.morrow,
he would ask a question of the Noble Lord at the head
of the Government, as to whether, in the event of
a company being formed fur the reclamation of the
waste lands of Ireland, the Noble Lord would fa-
cilitate the acquisition of the powers by which it was
proposed to effect that object.
Dr. BOWRING put off his motion relative to public
accounts till this day fortnight.
Mr. CHRISTIE also postponed his motion for an in-
quiry into the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge
till the same day.
NOTICES OF MOTION.

Mr. WADDINGTON gave notice of his intention to
bring in a Bill for the regulation of the law relating to
small tenements.

Lord COURTNEY gave notice of his intention to
move an amendment to the Poor Relief Bill in
Committee.

THE WELLINGTON STATUE.

Mr. CRAVEN BERKELEY gave notice that, on
Monday next, he would ask the Noble Lord at the head
of the Woods and Forests whether any communication
had been made to the Government by the committee of
the Wellington statue with respect to the removal of
the scaffolding round the statue; and, if it was to be
removed, at whose expense the removal was to take
place?
Lord CASTLEREAGH presented a petition from a
place in the county of Down against extending relief to
the able-bodied poor in Ireland ; as, in the opinion of
the petitioners, it would tend to increase improvident
marriages, and lead to the confiscation of the property
of the country. They also prayed that if such a measure
should be approved of by the House, that the extension
of such relief should be optional with the board of

ARREST OF A PROSECUTOR.—At Southwark PolicQ
Court on \Wednesday an order of protection from the Crown
Court was procured to enable Mr. Skipper to appear, without
the risk of being arrested for debt, subsequently to his de-
parture after signing the depositions and entering into the
required sureties to appear at the Central Criminal Court to
prosecute Burfield, the porter at the Catherine Wheel inn,
for ste ding 300/. During the whole of the proceedings two
sheriff's officers were hovering about the court in order to
" grate" their man, if an opportunity presented itself. The
" order of protection," however, prevented them from putting
their writs into execution in the county of Surrey, and Mr.
Skipper was advised, on leaving the Court, to proceed home,
and not venture into another county, otherwise his order of
protection would be of no avail. lie, however, disregarded
the advice, and having quitted the court, when he got a suf-
ficient distance from it, imagining that the " bunt
.bailiffs"
of
had gone another way, he ventured out of bunt .bails
protection, and had no sooner arrived there than be was
mediately pounced upon by Sicilian, the sheriff's offi.cer, who
succeeded in effecting his capture and conveying his person
off to a sponging-house.

RAILWAY-PLAN FOR IRELAND.

Colonel WOOD desired to know whether the Noble
Lord, the Member for Lynn, would bring forward his
Bill for a system of railways for Ireland.
Lord G. BENTINCK said that it entirely depended
upon the business of the House.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN said it was the wish of the Irish
Members that the Noble Lord would defer it until
Tuesday next.

BREWING FRONI SUGAR BILL.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
third reading of this Bill, whereupon
Mr. MOFFATT moved the insertion of clauses, because the
Bill did not provide for penalties.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted the
clauses, and they were therefore withdrawn.
Mr. MOFFATT then moved the insertion of another
clause equalising the rights and privileges of all distillers in
England, Ireland, and Scotland, with those of the colonies.
The business of distilling in this country was a perfect mono-
poly, and unless the regulations were reformed, and the privi-
leges extended, none but very large capitalists could embark in
the trade, and hence there could be no extension of this branch
of our manufactures.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
elauges. _ . .

.Mr. HUME was decidedly of opinion that spirits of Eng-
land, Ireland, anti Scotland, ought to be put upon an equality,
and that those spirits should be allowed to be bonded, in the
same way as colonial spirits.
After a few words from Mr. GOULI3URN and the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER theclause was with.
drawn.

The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time.
RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS' BILL.
This Bill was brought in and read a first time.
PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE.

The SERGEANT-AT-ARMS said that h© had taken into
custody, by order of the House, a gentleman for having im-
properly intruded himself into the gallery set apart far Hon.
Members.

Mr. JAMES said that he was acquainted with the party in
question, and knew him to be a respectable person; it was
quite by mistake that he had entered the gallery instead of
the strangers' gallery; being a stranger to the place he had
inquired of the policeman in attendance the way to the
gallery, and was directed by him to that part of the House,
where he was found when taken into custody ; he begged,
therefore, to move that the Sergeant-at-Arms be requested to
discharge him out of his custody.

Mr. GREENE seconded the motion.
The prisoner was, therefore, ordered to be discharged out of
custody.
The House then adjourned at a Qsarter-past Eleven o'Clock.

TEN lIOURS' BILL.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented several petitions
frotn mill-owners and others, in favour of this Bill.

IRISH MEASURES.

Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask the Noble Lord a
question. There were now before the House four Bills
respecting Ireland. One they might consider to have
been disposed of—he meant the Bill for the immediate
relief of the destitute poor of Ireland, which had gone
through Committee, and which might, therefore, be con-
sidered to have received the consent of that House.
Then there was the Bill to indemnify the Government
for their departure from tho' Irish Labour Act of last
year. Besides these Bills there were the Poor•law Bill
and the Bill for granting loans of money to the owners
of land in Ireland. What he wished to know was,
whether the Poor•law Bill would proceed pari passu
with the Landlords' Bill, or whether he proposed to
carry them separately ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, in reply to the ques-
tion of the Honourable Gentleman, he had to intarm
him that it was the intention of the Government that
the two last Bills—the Poor-law Bill, and the Bill for
lending money to the proprietors of land, should proceed
together. He could not say the particular days on which
they would be taken, or whether one would be taken
before the other, but he should wish to have them read a
third time almost simultaneously by the House.—(Hear.)
He was anxious to have them read on days au
closely following each other, that they might be sent up
to the other House of Parliament, as nearly as possible
at the same time.—(Hear.) He considered that the one
measure should be decided at the same time as the other
—(Bear, hear)—for if the one failed in its object, it
could not prove otherwise than detrimental to the Other.

Copy of a Letter from Colonel Hawker, the well-known Author on
" Guns and Shooting."

Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants, Oct. 21, 1846.

Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a
cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed tor
me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive t.rgans.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
P. HAWKER.

To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard.

IEAARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy-
sicians
have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness pflhe chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats,aphony (loss of voice), car-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, toothvaathe, neuralgia, &e. In the first stage of
consumption their,benelieial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vanced stages they.rdileVe the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.
