kingdom, but to others, be thought that so
ought to be made into them.—(The
Noble Earl then
entered briefly into some statistical details, none of which
reached the gallery.)
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, that many of
the abuses complained of by the Noble Earl arose from
the fact of the contracts having been made for the con-
veyance of letters at a time when the means of commu-
nication to foreign countries were not so easy as they
were at present. The Government, however, had no
objection to the appointment of the Committee as moved
for.—Motion agreed to.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

derable number of railway Bills.

most inaudible, to advise the postponement of any dis-
cussion on the Bill till it was in Committee.
Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the recommendation
of the Noble Earl, as he hoped that by slight alteration
several objections, if not all that were recorded against
it, might be got rid of.

AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.
Lord STANLEY said, that as he intended to bring
forward his motion with reference to the English inter-
ference with the affairs of Portugal tomorrow evening,
and as the subject was calculated to lead to a very
lengthened discussion, he hoped that it might be under-
stood that the debate would commence at five o'clock, if
the Noble Lord, the President of the Council, had no
objection to such a course of proceeding.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to
say that he should have no objection to such a course
being adopted.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
