TEN HOURS' FACTORY BILL.

Mr. BRIGHT desired to know whether the Noble
Lord had any objection to lay upon the table of the
House a memorial, signed by between three and four
hundred factory proprietors in Lancashire, em-
ploying one hundred and twenty thousand bands.
The subject of the memorial had reference to the
Factory Bill. He wished that it should be in the pos-
session of the Members of the House before the ques-
tion came on again for further cousideration.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he would lay it upon the
table on Monday next.
RAILWAYS FOR IRELAND.
Mr. COLLETT would wish to nut a question to her
Majesty's Government as to whether it was their inten-
tion to give any assistance to those railway companies
from whom baronial presentments had been made.
There had been a presentment made in the barony of
Cremoyne, in the north of Ireland, for the assistance of
a local railway, and the directors were most willing to
take the support of the able-bodied labourers from the
Relief Committee.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that there had been a
general rule to give assistance to those companies en-
gaged in making the earth works, and if any peculiar
case arose it would be competent for the directors to
memorial the Government.

S ORDERS
Mr. HUME ESSIONAL
begged
Speaker as to the rules of the House. By a rule of
the Rouse the Speaker was bound to leave the chair
at six o'clock, and no Member was permitted to
speak. Now, he understood that after that hour
the division of the House was declared.—(Hear, hear.)
The question was, could the report of the division be
received after six o'clock? If they deviated five minutes
they might as well deviate fifty minutes,
The SPEAKER said, the Member was right in
stating that the House must be adjourned at six o'clock
without putting the question. But this must take place
when there was not a division, and the doors were
unlocked. In the present instance there was a division,
and the doors were locked at six o'clock. He could not
therefore in pursuance of the standing order, adjourn
the House till after the division, and when the doors
were opened.--(Cheers.)
Sir A. BROOKE wished to know the intentions of
the Government as to the course they intended to take
respecting the measures proposed for Ireland.
Lord JOHN RLT:ISELL said, the llonourable Gen-
tleman wished for the information of the Irish Members
to know the courso the Government intended to
take. What they proposed to do was to go into Com.
meittee on the Labouring Poor (Ireland) Bill to-night.
This was a Bill t ) sanction the proceeding 4 which had
taken place under the direction of the Lord Lieutenant.

With regard to the other Irish Bills, he did not think of
going into Committee at present, as there were several
amendments proposed to be made in them. On
Monday next he proposed that either himself or the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and make the financial
statement, after which he would propose the second
r,,ading of the Railway Bill. He did not
think they would eo on with any Irish measures
that night, on next Friday, he would propose going into
a Committee of Supply for the voting of the naval
estimates; and on Monday fortright he would bring
under the consideration or the H. ,use the Irish Bills
now postponed, namely, the Bills for the Improvement
of Irish Estates, and for the Relief of the PAR.
The Earl of LINCOLN wished to know what were
the nature of the amendments ?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said they were mainly of a
technical cha; acrer. He had objection to the Bilk being
committed pro forma now,; and recommitted on Monday
fortnight.

BLACK CAT.
Mr. MUNTZ said as he had not had the opportunity
of bring forward his motion on this particular, he would
take the earliest opportunity of doing so.
DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.
Mr. DUNCOMBE postponed his motion on the in-
jury sustained by the Duke of Brunswick from the
violation of the Gad article of the Treaty of Vienna, till
Thurday week.

BRITISH MUSEUM.
Mr. HUME complained of what appeared to him to
be irresponsibility of that institution to the public, an
institution to which they had been voting yearly from
40,000/. to 50,000/. Au election had taken place in
that body of a person, no doubt worthy to be con-
nected with the institution ; but what he com
plained of was that the departments of science and
natural history were not properly represented. He had
formerly moved for a committee of inquiry, and was
opposed by the Government, but lie now positively inti-
mated that he would not accede to any vote of money
unless something satisfactory was done in reference to it.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the snbject was under the
consideration of her Majesty's Government.
LABOURING POOR (IRELAND) BILL.

The House then went into committee on this 13i11.

Mr. H. BAILLIE said he begged to offer
a few words, in consequence of a misnpresention
that had been made with respect to some observations
of his. He (Mr. Baillie) was represented to have stated,
in answer to a question of the Noble Lord the Member for
Lynn, that, as a Scotch representative, he would not
vote English money to relieve Irish distress. The
Noble Lord had repudiated that on the part of Scotland.
He (Mr. Baillie) also repudiated such an expres-
sion, and he would be ashamed to have ever made
use of such. The Noble Lard was not satis-
fied with having misrepresented his (Mr. Baillie's)
words, but he took the trouble to inform the
House that his (Mr. Baillie's) name was not a
Scotch name. He could tell the Nobls Lord that his
(Mr. Baillie's) ancestors were resident in Scotland
before (as we understood the Honourable Member) the
Noble Lord's ancestors had an acre there.—(Laughter.)
He (Mr. Baillie) was ready to give his support
to all the measures her Majesty's Government
might bring forward that would in his opinion be calcu-
lated for the benefit of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. D. BROW.NE rose, and was
(LEFT SPEAKING.)
