The Committee then divided, when there appeared—
For the amendment

Against it
Majority against it —3
The clause was accordingly agreed to and ordered to
stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 2,3, 4,5, 6,7, 8,9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14,
were also agreed to.
On clause 15 being proposed,
Mr. W. J. FOX moved that the words " purpose than
the purpose for which the same shall have been acquired,"
in line 5, be omitted, and the words " than religious pur-
poses" substituted. This Bill was an extraordinary interfe-
rence with the rights of private property, and the House
ought to take care that all future cases of disruption m
the Church should be provided for. The Bill inflicted the
penalty of forfeiture of their place of worship upon all
congregations in the event of their devoting it to other
purposes than celebrating their present form of worship.
This Bill must be taken as a reward bestowed upon the
Free Church for the conscientious exercise of their
freedom of opinion, but, suppose in ten years they pro.
. posed to return to the Established Church, what would
be the consequences of such a change in their religious
views? Why, according to the provisions of this Bill
it would involve a forfeiture of their church, and it was
to avoid that evil that he proposed the present amend-
ment.
Mr. BOUVERIE and Sir G. GREY resisted the amend-
ment, and after a short discussion it was negatived
without a division.
The clause was then agreed to.
Mr. ELLIOT moved the insertion of the following
provision:—" And be it enacted, that this Act shall
continue and be in force for the space of two years from
and after the passing thereof."
Mr. BOUVERIE opposed it, after which the Com-
mittee divided, when there appeared—
For the clause 46
Against it
Majority against it —l2
The remaining clauses were then agreed to and the
House having resumed, the Chairman reported progress
and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
REPEAL OF THE UNION.
On the question being put for resuming the adjourned
debate on Mr. O'Connell's motion for a Repeal of the
Union,
Sir BENJAMIN HALL rose and said, this question
was represented to be a most important one, but he did
not attach much importance to it. It was brought on
so far back as the 11th .of April, and since then both
the mover and seconder of the question had absented
themselves, and he really did think that the House ought
to come to some understanding as to whether this order
should remain on the books.—(Hear, hear.) At all
events, if the Hon. Mover and seconder were not in
their places next Wednesday, to which day it was pro-
posed further to adjourn the matter, he should move
that the order be discharged. It ill became these Hon.
Gentlemen who attached so much importance to this
question to treat it in this way, nor did it reflect much
credit on Irish Members generally, that when it was
introduced there were not more thale a dozen of them
present.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. REYNOLDS said he was not responsible for the
repeated adjournments of this question, and for the
information of the House, he might state that he strongly
condemned the Hon. Member for the city of Limerick
for bringing forward this motion at the time he did. He
took charge of the motion because he moved the adjourn-
ment ; but it could not be expected at that late hour
(half-past four) he should bring it forward then. He
could, however, assure the House that he was perfectly
prepared to enter upon the discussion of the
question, because he thought it was highly calculated
to benefit Ireland; but seeing that the House would
rise at six o'clock, and that there were only two or three
Repeal Members present, he would not be justified in
bringing it on then. He should therefore move that it
be further adjourned till this day three weeks.
Mr. SCULLY seconded the motion.
Mr. KEOGH said, he could not exculpate the Hon.
Member for the city from all responsibility in this
matter, nor was he at all surprised at the
absence of the Repeal Members, when he remembered
that the honourable and bland demagogue' the Hon.
Member for the city of Dublin—(Cries of " Order,
order")—the honourable and bland democrat, who
was always more bland in that House than
in the Conciliation Hall Parliament, where he told
the Irish nation, a few weeks ago, that there
was a greater amount of political rascality to be
found amongst Irish Members themselves than amongst
any other class of Members who occupied seats
in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) How then
could the bland and Honourable Member be surprised
at the absence of his repeal friends?—(Hear, hear.)
The fact was this repeal question was a bubble which
had long deceived the Irish people, and through
the aid of which certain fiery demagogues were
in the habit of obtaining seats in that House.
But he did not so much blame Repeal Mem-
bers for this as those who sat on the Treasury
benches, from whom the Repeal Members had received
a good deal of comfort and consolation, and he thought
there ought to be an end put to this question without
further delay.
Mr. REYNOLDS rose to explain. The Hon. Mem-
ber had called him a demagogue.
The SPEAKER told the Hon . Member that he could
not explain the epithet.
Mr. REYNOLDS very much regretted that the forms
of the House would not allow him to reply to the speech
of the Hon. and Learned Member, but in order that ho
might do so, he would move the adjournment of the
House.
The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member being the
mover of the original motion, he could not move the
adjournment.
Tne motion for adjournment of the debate was then
agreed to.
Mr. REYNOLDS said he would now move the ad-
journment of the House to enable him to reply to the
speech of the Hon. and Learned Member, who had at-
tributed words to him that he had never uttered. It
was quite clear to him when the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman rose, that he was overflowing with political
combustible matter.—(Hear and laughter.) He had
known the Hon. and Learned Member for many years,
but during the whole of that time he could not call to
mind that •he had been guilty of any act of utility to-
wards the country.—(Laughter.) The support which
the Hon. and Learned Member had given to the Hon.
Baronet the Member for Marylebone reminded him very
much of an Irish tale, which represented that if an
Irishman were put upon a spit, another Irishman would
be found to turn him.—(Hear and laughter.) The Hon.
Baronet had placed his Hon. Friend the Member
for the city of Limerick on a spit, and the
Honourable and Learned Gentleman had volun-
teered to perform the duties of spit-turner, of which
office he wished him joy.—(Laughter.) The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman had told the House that many Irish
Members found their way into that House through agi-
tating the repeal of the Union. No doubt there were
some men who advocated that question, but when the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman came forward with a
sweeping denunciation of all Repeal Members, he should
remember that there were many Irish Members in that
House who procured their seats through the influence of
bo!oughmongering capitalists in England, ou the
principle, no doubt, of realising the old expectation that
the prosperity of Ireland would be greatly increased by the
introduction of English capital into Ireland.—(A laugh.)
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said some thing
about the Repeal Members having received comfort and
consolation from the Treasury benches. He (Mr. Rey-
nold 3) liked open and advised speaking, and he would
be glad if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would trans-
late the terms he had used into plain English; but before
he sat down, to enable him to do so, he must
assure the Honourable and Learned Member that he
did not come into that House as a youthful lawyer, ex-
pecting anxiously a change of Government, and hoping
to pick up some of the crumbs that fell from the Prime
Minister's table—(Hear, and laughter)—but he was
sent there by an unbiassed constituency, to defend the in,
terests of Ireland against the attacks of her pretended
friends and open enemies.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. KEOGH must ask the permission of the House
to second the motion for an adjournment, to enable him
to say a few words in reply to the Hon. Member for the
city of Dublin. The Hon. Member wanted to know
what he meant by the statement that some of the
Repeal Members received comfort and consolation
from the Treasury benches, and he would tell
him he meant this, that the Repeal Members
at the last election were openly supported every.
where by her Majesty's present Attorney-Gene-
ral for Ireland, and at the election for Dublin that
Learned Gentleman, upon going to poll for the Hon.
Gentleman opposite, and finding that the booth was
closed, took out his watch and called the attention of
the persons present to the fact that it was not five
o'clock; and remarking that if the Government Mem-
ber were not returned, that fact would form good
ground for a petition.—(Hear.)
Sir G. GREY indignantly denied that Government
sanctioned any interference at the last elections, and
challenged the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to prove
the charge he had so unexpectedly brought forward.
The motion for adjournment was then put and nega-
tived without a division.
HORSHAM BOROUGH BILL.
Mr. BANKES moved the:second reading of this Bill,
which he said was introduced under the authority of the
Noble Lord at the head of the Government. The time
had arrived when the Bill ought to be passed or the order
relating to it quashed.
Sir G. GREY said ho thought it would be much
better to postpone the second reading till the Bill of
the Hon. Member for Flint Burghs had been disposed of.
Mr. W. MILES seconded the motion for the second
reading, and protested against the vacillating conduct of
the Government in reference to these Bills.
Mr. HUME agreed with Sir George Grey that the
Bill ought to be postponed.
After a few words from Mr. STAFFORD, who sup-
ported the second reading,
Mr. FORBES said he was not surprised at the course
Government was pursuing in reference to this Bill, but
he was surprised at the course of the Honourable Mem-
ber for Montrose, who stated himself exceedingly
anxious that all persons should be duly represented in
that House.
Mr. D'EYNCOURT moved the adjournment of the
debate till this day week, on the ground that the Hon.
Member who had charge of the Bill was not in his
place, and it was irregular for another Hon. Member to
move the second reading without previous notice.
yr. FITZGERALD begged to state that the con-
stituency of Horsham,. who had recently done him the
honour to return him to that House, courted
inquiryinto the political state of their borouglr, and
they were anxious that it should take place without
delay, feeling as they did that there was no charge
which had been brought against them.—(Hear.)
Sir DE LACY EVANS advised the Government
to gratify the wishes of Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and
proceed at once with the Bill.
Mr. BANKES assured the_llonourable Member for
