under the command of Admiral Parker intended to interfere
with any expedition which his Neapolitan Majesty might
intend to send against his revolting subjects in Sicily ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE declined giving an answer
to that question, because he believed the information re-
quired would not conduce to the public interest.
Lord STANLEY then withdrew his motion.
THE IRISH POOR-LAWS.:
Lord LUCAN gave notice that on Thursday he should ask
if it was the intention of the Government to introduce any
measure based upon the recommendation of the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Peers on the Irish poor-laws and the
rating of immediate lessors.
CORN MARKETS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading
of the Corn Markets (Ireland) Bill, and, in doing so availed
himself of the opportunity to reply to an attack which the
Noble and Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) some nights pre-
viously had made on his Right Hon. Friend the President
of the Board of Trade, who formerly filled the office of Chief
Secretary for Ireland. His Right Hon. Friend, in the dis-
patch to which the Noble and Learned Lord had referred,
stated that the Irish people were entitled to carry arms for
legal objects, with the consent of the magistrates. All that
was meant in the letter referred to was, that it was the right
of every Irishman to carry arms, if for a legal and authorised
purpose, but nothing could be more monstrous than the con-
struction the Noble Lord bad put upon it, and which he had
no doubt would be repudiated by the House.
The Bill was then read a third time.
TITLES OF ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELATES.
Lord REDESDALE moved for a copy of a dispatch dated
Downing-street, 20th November, 1847, relating to the titles
by which Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in the
colonies were in future to be addressed in all official com-
munications. He was induced to call attention to the sub-
ject, as false impressions prevailed in the minds of many, in
regard to the construction put upon the Charitable Bequests
Act, as conferring titles upon those Prelates similar to these 11
the Prelates of the Protestant Church were addressed by.
In that Act there was no rule laid down for addressing the
Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, or any-
where else within her Majesty's dominions. Neither were
there any titles awarded them under the Royal Commission,
appointing them, along with the dignitaries of the Protes-
tant Church, joint administrators of Protestant and Roman
Catholic Charities; so that the letter of the Noble Earl at the
head of the Colonial Office, referred to in his notice of motion,
proceeded upon false premises, when it stated that the
Act of Parliament and the Royal Commission just alluded
to was the ground for such titles being conferred upon those
Prelates.
Earl GREY said, he could have no possible objection to
the production of the letter referred to; and with regard
to the observation of the Noble Lord, he had to state that,
while it might be true that the Charitable Bequests Act
did not in terms recognise the rank of the Prelates of the
Roman Catholic Church, yet it gave authority for the crea-
tion of a commission under it, of which commission those
Prelates were members, and in which their rank was dis-
tinctly recognised, for they were there designated as the
Most Reverend Father in God John Archbishop of Tuam,
and so with the Archbishops of Dublin and Armagh. But
more than that, there was a distinct Act of Parliament in
which they were so recognised. No doubt it was a private
Act, but it was not the less binding or authoritative in con-
sequence of that; and in the Dublin Cemetery Act, passed
in 1849, the Archbishop of Dublin was styled his Grace,
and the titles of the other dignitaries of the Roman Catholic
Church were recognised in the same manner, so that while
such rank might not be conferred by law, yet the law re-
cognised it; and, as regarded the colonies, where the digni-
taries of the Protestant Church and those of the Roman
Catholic Church were on an equal footing, he could not see
how such rank should be conferred on the former and re-
fused the latter. He considered the recognition of such
rank but an act of justice to the Roman Catholic Prelates
in the colonies, and he was prepared to justify and to
stand by the course he had adopted in respect to them.
Lord STANLEY denied that the recognition of such
rank as that referred to was authorised either by Par-
liament or by the Crown, and therefore there was no
ground for the letter, the production of which was de-
manded.
The production of the letter was then agreed to, and the
subject dropped.
EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.
Earl GREY postponed laying papers on the table and
making a statement as to this subject until Thursday.
ILLEGAL SOCIETIES IN IRELAND.
The LORD CHANCELLOR obtained leave to bring in a
Bill to renew the Act for the Suppression of Illegal Societies
in Ireland, with a special clause relating to clubs.
The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a
second time on Thursday.
The report on the Charity Trusts Regulation Bill was
received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on
Thursday.
The Trustees Relief Bill went through Committee, was
reported, and also ordered to be read a third time on
Thursday.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

THE CASTLEREAGH PAPERS.
Nearly ready for publication, in 4 vols. Bvo., printed uniformly with
the Wellington and Nelson Dispatches,
MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF
VISCOUNT CASTLEREAGH,
SECOND MARQUESS OF LONDONDERRY,
Edited by his Brother,
CHARLES VANE, Marquess of Londonderry, G.C.8., &c.
It is well known that the high official situations held by Lord Cas-
tlereagh brought him either into society or correspondence with al-
most all the leading political personages of this and other countries,
and he thus became possessed of a collection of letters and documents
more copious and more valuable thun probably any minister of his
time could have acquired. From these materials his brother, the
present Marquess of Londonderry, to whom they devolved, has pre-
•pared for publication a selection from that portion which concerns
Ireland, accompanied by a biographical memoir of his illustrious re-
lation, to whose talents, energy, and persevering exertions we are
mainly indebted for the great measure of the legislative union. The
work will be found one of surpassing importance. not merely on ac-
count of the records and illustrations of the extraordinary events of
a past period which it furnishes, but for the startling points of com-
parison with cw.currences of the present day.
