Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM opened the case on behalf of the

construction of the proposed line would tend, in a great de-
gree, to improve the Wormegay navigation, which at pre-

soften the animosities that had been so long the bane of that
country, and to point the way to an improved state of things.
—( Cheers.) Having said these few words with respect to
the calamity which bas occurred, I will tell the Hon. Gentle-
man who has asked this question that her Majesty's
Government have felt it their duty to advise her Majesty im-
mediately to fill up the office of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ire-
land. Whatever may be the opinion of her Majesty's Go-
vernment with respect to the general nature of that office and
with respect to the policy of maintaining it for any length of
time, as a part of the Government of the United Kingdom,
we are clearly and unanimously of opinion that the present cir-
cumstances of Ireland do not admit of such a change of autho-
rity as would be necessary by the legislative measures which
would have to be introduced by any change in the mode of ad-
ministering the affairs of Ireland. We have therefore thought
it necessary to advise her Majesty to fill up the office of the
Lord,Lieutenant ,but Ido not intend during the present ses-
sion of Parliament to introduce any measure by which an alte-
ration may be made in the constitution of that authority, and
acting upon our own responsibility, it will be absolutely neces-
sary for .he Government to advise her Majesty to appoint a
successor to the Noble Lord just deceased.
SITTINGS OF COMMITTEES.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that it was his duty to make
a motion, in consequence of that which had been just carried.
The Hon. Member for Rochdale hail announced to the House
that he was well placed for to-morrow.—(Laughter.) He
( Sir J. Graham) was very badly placed, for he was summoned
to attend two Committees, one a Railway Committee and the
other a Comrni.tee on matters of general interest to t hi, House.
It was, therefore, his duty to move that the Committees should
have leave to sit to-morrow.—Agreed to.
SIR EARDLEY WILMOT.

Mr. SPOONER gave notice that on Tuesday, the Ist
June, he should move that a copy of an address from the in-
habitants of Hobart Town to Sir Eardley Wilmot, late Lieut.-
Governor of Van Diemen's Land, in consequence of a publica-
tion of a dispatch from Mr. Gladstone, be laid upon the table.

Lord GEORGE BENTINCK—Mr. Speaker, as to-morrow
is the Derby day—( Loud laughter)—which for half a century
had been held as a holiday, I rise to move
Mr. HUME—I rise to order. The Noble Lord ought to
propose his motion in rotation. It is out of its place here, being
No. 18 in the list.—( Cries of " Chair, chair, Order, order.")
The SPEAKER said that all motions relating to the
adjournment of the House were usually considered at an early
hour.

Mr. HUNIE objected to such motions as the present, as ii
would lead to great inconvenience and abuse.
The SPEAKER again reiterated his deci,ion, that such mo
tiona always were considered at an early hour, for the conveni-
ence of the Members.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD protested against the
House rising in the present state of things, and when so many
questions of vital import were pressing upon the attention of
the Government. He should add no snore, but rest contented
with this expression of his opinion.
The adjournment of the House was then carried.
PRISONS.
In reply to a question from Viscount SANDON,
Sir G. GREY steed that the reports of the Inspectors of
Prisons would be found to contain the fullest information on
the subject of prison discipline. The Corporation of the city
of London has decided upon building another pris,m,
would obviate the inconvenience of the Giltspur-street

DEATH OF THE LORD.LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND

_ _

Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Noble Lord
at the head of the Government had made any arrange-
ment with respect to filling up the vacancy caused by the
death of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, as it was important
that the intentions of the Government should be known as soon
as possible.—( Considerable sensation. )

North British Railway at Piershill Barracks, and effect
a junction with the south branch at about a mile distance.

SIONER§:

Mr. FERRAND wished to give notice to the Hon. Mem-
ber for Bolton, that on Friday it was his intention to put a
question to him relating to the positive contradiction made last
ni.ght by the chief Secretary of State for the Home Department,
of a most solemn declaration made by a late Secretary of State
that Mr. Mott had been dismissed from his office as Assistant
Commissioner for conduct of which the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman was acquainted, and which declaration the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman stated at the time was sufficient to
clear his character as a Member of that House.
Dr. BO WRING said he should be much indebted to the
Hon. Gentleman if he would put his question.
Mr. FERRAND was prepared to do so. It was. Whether
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was now prepared, after the
positive contradiction—the solemn declaration—of the late Se-
cretary of State for the Home Department with regard to Mr.
Mott, to take any further steps for further clearing his own
character, and the character of his constituents in reference to
the same subject ?
Dr. BOWRING did not know in what manner his charnc•
ter was involved in any thing that had taken place on a former
night.—(Cheers. )

An accident, attended with fatal consequences, occurred
on Monday evening on the Chester and Holyhead Rail-
way, about 1 miles from the Chester station, by the
failure of one of the gird, rs of the bridge across the
River Dee, and which is supposed to have arisen
from a detective casting. The engine anti tender
got clear over the bride, but one of the carriages
in the train was precipitated into the river, and four per-
sons are killed, and about five or six others more or less
injur, d. The stoker also i- killed, baying been thrown
off the engine by the jerk. No official statement hasyet
been received at the Lohdon office from the engineers
further than reporting the eireurnstance.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SETTLING FOR THE DERBY AND OAKS.
The winners of the above races, having at the time
been generally supposed to be harmless" horses, we
fully expected to have to speak of an easy settling. We re-
gret to say that t has turned out quite the reverse—not
merely a bad one, but one of the worst that has been
known since Cotherstone's year. Two parties were non
est, whose losses cannot be stated at less than 20,0001. ;
one of them, who is connected with the highest families
in the kingdom, is a loser of about 12,0001., of which
there is no immediate prospect of payment ;—the
other is a Mr. P * * *, of whom there is no hope
whatever. It appears that this worthy, not satisfied with
drawing all he could on Monday without disbursing a
farthing, enclosed a list of debts due to him on the race,
to one of the parties from whom be had received, beg-
ging him to 6' collect ail he could; and retain the half for
his trouble," adding that he was" utterly ruined," and
concluding by graciously permitting his victim to make
any excuse he might think tit for collecting for him I"
Of course, this impudent attempt at swindling was im-
mediately made public. It is almost needless to add that
these heavy defalcations seriously embarrassed the set-
tling, and that many parties
who entered the room with
balances in their favour, quitted it losers. Sir Joseph
Hawley, Mr. Pedley and their friends are good winners.
