TIPPLING EXTRAORDINARY.—SOIIIe few days since
a native of the Emerald Isle, who is by no means a dis-
ciple of Father Mathew, entered the Wheat Sheaf, Pon-
typool, in order to partake of some refreshment, when,
lo! his first draught was three pints of cider, which failed
to satisfy his desire; he then called for some of what he
termed " Old Carpenter's," in other words' known as
" Carpenter's celebrated old beer," of which he speedily
gulped down six pints, exclaiming at the close, "By the
Pope, I could drink six pints more, it is so good,"—ftion-

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

The SPEAKER took the Chair at a Quarter past Twelve
o'clock.
Returns were presented from the Bankrutcy-office.
THIRD READINGS.
The following Bills were read a third time and
passed :
Fullerton's Estate Bill.
Jessop's Estate Bill.
Lister (or Hudson's) Estate Bill.
Miller's Estate Bill.
EXCHANGE OF ECCLESIASTICAL PATRON-
AGE BETWEEN HER MAJESTY AND THE
EARL OF LEICESTER BILL.
The Bill was read a second time and ordered, on the
motion of Lord MORPETII, to be referred to the Com-
mittee of Selection, and the Committee on the Bill
obtained leave to sit and proceed on Wednesday next.
POOR-LAW UNION CHARGES (No. 2) BILL.
The House then resolved itself• into Committee on this

In answer to a question from an Hosr. MEMBER,
Mr. C. BULLMI, said that the measure was only a
temporary one, and intended to be in operation for only
twelve months. Another and more comprehensive
measure would be brought on by the Government
in another session. But the present temporary
one, he thought the House would admit, was
absolutely necessary. It was also his intention to lay
on the table of the House at the close of the session a
Bill, the provisions of which would be, that wherever
there was a town co-extensive with a union, not under
any local jurisdiction, that there should be an entire
union charge. It was his intention to have that measure
printed and circulated through the country, in order that
the opinion of the country should be obtained upon it;
and it it met the sanction of the public it would be easy
to extend it to small towns.
Mr. HUDSON complained of the heavy charges that
were made on railways for the support of the poor, and
contended that some course ought to be adopted to make
rating more equal.
On the question that the preamble of the Bill be post-
poned, some considerable discussion took place on the
provisions of the measure.

Lord H. VANE supported the measure, thinking it
better to accomplish an important object by a bit-and.
bit reform rather than by a sweeping measure.
Mr. Alderman SIDNEY objected to the Bill, thinking
that its provhions were not extensive enough to remedy
the evils it sought to put an end to. In London, Man-
chester, Liverpool, Leeds, Norwich, and in other large
towns in the kingdom, tho poor-rates had increased to
an enormous extent within the last few years, whilst the
poor-rates in the agricultural districts bad decreased in
a proportionate ratio. He considered, therefore, that
nothing but a national poor-rate would remedy the de-
fects of the present law and give general satisfaction.
After a few observations from Mr. P. HOWARD,
Mr. HENLEY admitted that there were strong
grounds for complaining of the inequality of the pre•
sent poor-rate. The increase of vagrancy was no doubt
a great evil, but the way to get rid of it was not by ex-
cluding those who were vagrants by profession from one
parish, but by punishing them in some effectual way.
After some further discussion, in which Sir W. Jol•
life, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Floyer, Mr. V. Smith, Captain
Pechell, and other Hon. Members took part,
Mr. P. SCROPE thought that the workhouse ought
to be open to every one who chose to apply for relief ;
but, in order to suppress vagrancy, power ought to be
given to bring all vagabonds and impostors, who were
not deserving relief; before a magistrate, and have them
punished.
