BIRDCAGE WALK.

In answer to a question put by an HoN. IvIENBER,
Viscount MORPETH said that he had received her
Majesty's gracious commands that the Birdcage-walk
should be thrown open to the public during the recess,
but that the gates should be shut at different periods for
the purpose of asserting her Majesty's right to the pro'
perty in question.
Sir H. W. BARRON rose again to ask the Secretary
for Ireland whether it was intended to apply to Par-
liament for any means of employing the people on the
public works in Ireland during next winter ? He said
the account he had from Ireland as to the potato crop
was, that there had been a large failure.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
afraid that the statement was too true as to the early
crop of potatoes, but he assured the Hon. Baronet 0114
there was a sufficiency of food in private hands to meet
the wants of Ireland for many months, and Government
would hold itself responsible for any emergency.
NEW WRIT FOR CHESHIRE.
On the motion of Mr. TUFNELL, a new writ for
Cheshire was ordered to be issued in the room of Lora,
Robert Grosvenor, who, since his election, had accepted
the office of Comptroller of her Majesty's Household.

THE GAME LAWS.
Mr. COLLETT said that the Hon. Member for West .
Gloucestershire bad intimated to him his intention t°,
refer to certain evidence taken before the Committee of
the House, and asking him (Mr. Collett) to be in hi.e
place. He (Mr. Collett) begged to know whether 0
was competent for the Hon. Member to call the attention
of the House to evidence that had not been published'
and was not likely to be published?
The SPEAKER said, when the time arrived he
would answer the Hon. Gentleman's question, for when,
the Member for West Gloucestershire had introduced
his subject to the House he would be better able to
form a judgment
SENTENCE ON JOHN SAYERS.
Mr. H. CURTEIS wished to ask, for his own settle
faction, and the satisfaction of the public, whether there
was any chance of the sentence lately passed on John
Sayers, at the Cove of Cork, being remitted—he mean'
the capital part of the charge? lie had no hesitation 111
saying that if the answer was not satisfactory be would
move an humble address to remit the sentence.
Admiral DUNDAS said that the subject had not
yon
come under the consideretion of the Admiralty, 1,41 t
every mercy would be shown to the prisoner.
Mr. F. FRENCH said that in the answer which 1313,4
been given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to 131
Hon. Friend near him, with reference to the failure e"
the potato crop, he had stated that the failure was
confined to the early crop of potatoes, he (Mr. French)
regretted to say that he had received appalling account
from Ireland, stating that the failure had become on,
vernal.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
that the Hon. Member was under some mistake ; for be
did not use any such words. What he had said "NP',
that the early crop had failed, but he did not Olio
syllable about any other crop, nor did he say that
disease was confined to the early crop.
MILITARY FLOGGING.
Mt'. T. S. DUNCOMBE said, that for the convenience
of the llouse, and in order to relieve public anxiety on the
subject, he wished that the Noble Lord would state ti)
the House what alteration was intended to be made
Government with regard to corporal punishment in tb
army. It seemed to be understood that some decislebe
had been come to by the Government, and it would.,
more satisfactory if the Noble Lord would state it then
Lord J. RUSSELL said that in answer to the get,
tion put by his Hon. Friend, he could only say thet tv.
was not at liberty to state to the House that event
ing the result of the considerations of Ggier..,1314
on the subject. He should be better able on -er.,1„0.
next, when he should know the decision of the '1"
wander-in-Chief.
Mr. HORSMAN moved for a return of all the deser
tions from the army during the last 20 years.

The next question he wished to ask the .Noble ro
