The Committee
impressed with the great
importance and practicability of this undertaking, which must ulti-
mately become one of the most important lines In the kingdom, and
in accordance with the suggestions of several landowners and par-
ties locally interested, have withheld their allotment until they
could assure their subscribers and applicants for shares that all the
standing orders of Parliament had been complied with. They now
beg to state that, pursuant to their resolution they have, out of their
own resources, provided all the expenses required for completing the
surveys, depositing plans, serving notices, &c., and or complying
with all other formalities up to the 31st of December ult., and they
have, therefore, this day allotted the shares.
It. MORTON CALEY.

was contrary to the opinion of that tribunal, and would impose a vast
expense on persons whose Bills should be opposed in Committee.
Mr. GISH° RNE did not conceive that the introduction of counsel
into the Standing Orders' Committee would in ally manner remove any
suspicions that might be' attachedjto their decisions. They might be
wrong in fact, but they w ere right in point of feeling, and he
thought they ought to alter the present Standing Orders' Com-
mittee, and was sorry that the motion was resisted.
Mr STRUTT said that he would make one observation is reply.
He would just remark that the Committee on Standing Orders arc of
a 'nature perfectly distinct from tiny other Committees, and he hoped
the House would excuse 'him, while he showed they were difierent.
Their business Is transacted in private, the sante as other Commit-
tees. The standing orders allowed that if the parties could shy.
ti at they had been misled, and had not been guilty of cull:Ade
neglect, then the standing orders might be dispenser) with ; but, on the
contrary, should they have been guilty of such neglect the standing or-
ders should be enforced. The standing orders also stated that the d Atam
line should be commenced from some certain fixed point, which in the
case of the railway mentioned by the Hon. Member, had not been
complied with. The tendency of the Hon. Member's motion would
be that of placing the Standing Orders' CommiPee and the Committee
on Private Bills in opposition to each other. Ile therefore felt under
the necessity of opposing the motion of his Honourable Friend.
Mr. GI,4tORNE observed, in re: ly, that in the ease which he
adverted to: he did not complain of the decision which the Com-
mittee arrived at—he merely brought it forward as it case which had
fallen under his own observations. Ile would not, however, as he
saw the feeling of the House. press his motion, and he would con-
sequently beg leave to withdraw it.
The motion was then withdrawn.
Mr. BROTHLRTON presented a petition from the Lancaster and
Carli,le Railway Company.

. -
Mr. WODEI OUSE moved for returns made by Mr. Rickman for a
period of ninety-on%years, showing the ratio which highway rates,
poor-rates, and county ratos, bore to the public expenditure.
Mr. ETWALL gave notice that he would move for a Select Com-
mittee, on the 10th •f February, to inquire into the administration of
the poor-law in the Andover Union, and as to how that union has
been managed.

PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND) RILL.
On the motion that the Public Works (Ireland) Bill should be
read a second time,

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD wished to know from the Right
Hon. Gentleman opposite whether it was the intention of Govern-
ment to bring in a Bill to amend the system of valuation in Ireland?
Sir' T. FR :,:MANTLE intimated his intention to bring in a Bill
for that purpose.

Mr. HITMrE objerted to the Bill alto ether. He defied any man
to say, with that Bill before him, what the law would be. He
th:ught they were come to that time of day when legislation should
be a little intelligible. Everything should be as clear as possible ;
and he submitted that it was impossible to understand the present
Bill on these grounds; therefore he should appose the Bill.
Sir THOMAS FItEMANTLE thought, that when extensive altera-
tions were proposed in any law, that the law should be consolidate&
The simple object of the present Bill was merely to obtain a grant
of money. There were certainly one or two alterations proposed,
but they did not effect the principle of the law, merely the details.
The first three pages of the Bill were occupied with mere recital, and
the rest with the proposed alterations, which did not affect the law
already existing.
Mr. O'CONNELL said that the principle of the law was apt
affected by the present Bill. That was only a particular Act of Par-
liament regulating another particular Act. He did not intend t., oppose
it, though he reserved to himself the right of making some alterations
in the Bill when it went into Commltee. He hoped, however, that
the Government would not suppose that they had done more than
discharge a part of their duty in bringing forward the present mea-
sure. It was impossible to ever-estimate the distressing state of
things which at present existed in that country. They could not
conceal from themselves the fact that, in three or four weeks a vast
number of the pipulation would be subjected to the horrors of famine.
The Government, therefore, were quite right in urging on the present
measure, for it would help to alleviate, even to a small extent,
the miseries which were impending.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
He would, therefore, give his support to the measure under the pro-
test that the Government was not to consider that they were doing
all that was necessary for Ireland in her present melancholy state.
Sir ROBERT FERGUSON would support the general bearings of
the Bill, but he would, when the provisions of that measure came
befere the House, suggest some amendments. He thought that the
sth and 6th clause required some amendment. These clauses referred
to the sum to be expended on public works, and he was of opinion
that the Bth clause gave sufficient powers.

Mr. SHAR3IAN -CRAWFORD would beg to express 'his dissent
to the 3d clause. It provided that two justices and three cess payers
should be sufficient to carry out the powers of that clause. The
Hon. Gentleman should remember the power of justices in appointing
the cess payers who were to sit with them, and how very partially
they might act on that power _

Sir H.W. BARRON rose to call the ttention of the Right Hon.
Baronet opposite, and of the Government in Ireland, to the'fact that
the paltry sum of 50,0001. could not, under existing circumstances,
tend in any great degree to relieve the distress of the people of
Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the commission that was
now sitting in Dublin had calculated that for three months in the
present year there would be millions of people unemployed. He had no
wish to exaggerate the amount of distress, but he had seen reason to
believe that this calculation was rather under than over the mark.
What, then, would be this 50,0001. divided amongst four millions of
people ? Why, it would be exactly threepence a head for three
months.—(Hear, hear.) And this was the sort of employment
they were going to give the people of Ireland to enable
them to support themselves, their children and families, for a period
of three months.—(Hear, hear.) It would be like a drop of water
to the sea. The Government ought to come forward more liberally,
with the ample means they had at their command, and give the
people of Ireland employment, and not charity. That was the great
Principle which ought to guide all Govennents in their legislation.
no matter whether they were despotic or monarchical.—(Hear, hear.)
The pressing calamity which had fallen upon the land called for
active and urgent measures on the part of the Government. It was
no commas case that had fallen upon mere trade in some particular
town or district. It was the visitation of an all-wise Providence that wa s
impending over the nation, and no ordinary or common measures would
avert it. The people of Ireland did not want charity ; they wanted
employment, and it was in the power of Government to give it them,
and lie was sure the landed interest would come forward and assist
them in promoting public works. In his part of the country several
of the landholders had already come forward to give
employment to their fellow-men, and he had no
doubt they would vane forward in large numbers in other parts of
the country. There was plenty of employment for them, but the
landed interest of this country was so poor that with-
out the aid, the liberal aid of the Government, they
mild not distribute It amongst the people.—( Hear, hear.)
It had been sated both in that House and elsewhere, by Members
•is horn lie regretted not to see in their places, that England ought to
be taxed for the benefit of Ireland. Tax the English people ! Why
did not the Irish people bear their fair proportion of the taxes of the
whole kingdom ? Did they not pay enormous Excise and other
duties ? Did not the lauded proprietors of Ireland, resident in this
country, pay their share of the income-tax out of the money de-
rived from their estates ? And had not the Chancellor of the
Exchequer stated that the Irish people were taxed more
than any other people on the face of the earth ? He (Sir H.
W. Barron) believed that the people of that unhappy country
were taxed mere in proportion to their means than the inhabitants of
any other country in Europe. Ireland did not ask for charity, but
for her fair share of the taxes realised, and to be cousiitered and
treated as a portion of the kingdom. If they did not give them their
fair share of the taxes, in heaven's name let them have the manage-
ment of their own affairs, and the levying of their own taxes. Let
them not delude themselves with the belief that this measure would
employ the people of Ireland. Before many weeks bad passed they
would have to adopt other and more enlarged measures to alleviate
the sufferings of the people.
Mr. MONCKTON MILNES considered that the measure was
quite inadequate to meet the impending evil of famine,
and the consequent sufferings of the people.—(Hear, hear.)
He considered that the evil of the potato disease should have been
met in a totally different manner. The landed proprietors of Ireland
should go and reside amidst their unhappy tenantry and spend there
every shilling they had, and if they had no money it was their duty to
borrow it. He would not except dukes and other noblemen from doing
this, as it was every inan's duty to do all in his power
to alleviate the sufferings of the people of Ireland. lie
was sure the House of Commons would readily adopt any measure
which should have for its object the improvement of the condition
of that people, and to save them from the sufferings which the potato
disease threatened.

Mr. F4FRENCH did not object Ito the measure, and contended
that the propsietors of the sell ought, for their own sakes, to take
steps to alleviate all the impending evil which he was satisfied they
would do if facilities:were given to them.
Colonel CONOLLY was very happy to find that the people of Ire-
land were to have this money on loan at a very reasonable interest.
It was what he had been striving for for years.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed
to-morrow.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, on the part of Sir Robert Peel, gave notice
that the Right lion. Baronet would to-morrow move that the House
at its rising do adjourn to Monday next, Friday being a holiday
usually observed, and no public business being down for that day.
Mr. F. FRENCH said that Friday would be the last day for
receiving petitions against certain private Bills. An adjournment,
therefore, would be inconvenient to those Members who might have
such petitions to present.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the matter should be considered to-morrow.
The House then adjourned at Two o'clock.

On the 18th of November, the combined forces moored about
three miles from Point Obligado. •
In the evening the captains of the Fulton and Philomel went in a
boat to reconnoitre the frontiers of the enemy's forces. They found
four batteries established on the right bank of the river:, Ehese
batteries mounted about 24 pieces of artillery, mostly of heavy ca-
libre, bealsies several detached field-pieces. The river itself was
barred by a stockade formed with 24 vessels, bound together by
three strong iron chains* This stockade was placed between toe
third anti fourth batteries. At one of the extremities on the
right hank were 10 fire-ships ready to be let go; at the other ex-
tremity, Ott the left bank, was moored the Republican° (Itosas's
brig), armed with many pieces of heavy calibre, and designed to take
in en filade the opposing ships. Two of these batteries were nearly
On a level with the river, and two others on peaks mote or less
elevated. Lastly, about 4,000 men, infantry and cavalry, were
posted so as to protect the shores and oppose any lauding. The
works were very strong, and evidently under the direction of Euro-
pean engineers, well acquainted with the rules of art ; and the
tenacity of resistance is to be attributed to tte fact that the batteries
were served by foreign deserters,
On the morning of the 20th, as soon as the mist cleared away, the
combined forces formed in three divisions for the purpose of attack.
The first, under the orders of Captain Sullivan, and composed of the
Philomel, the E4pedltiVe, and the schooners Fanny and Procida,
received t viers to take positi di towards the south on the left bank,
a little above the batteries, at above 700 metres distance, so as to
take them en echarpe. This manoeuvre succeeded perfectly, and
wring cOMlnelleed Immediately on both sides.
The
second division, under the comasand of Captain Trehouart,
composed of the St. Martin, the Comus, the Pandour, and the
Dolphin, took up a position towards the north, ouite close to the
her, the brsiisgflr
stockade, and in front of the batteries, and at the same distance of
700 metres, to attaek the halt
