with regard to this question it would be better for that House
to adhere strictly to those points in which this country bad a
right to interfere, and not a step further with the internal
government of other parts of the country under the adminis-
tration of different Governments.

Lord KINN AIRD thought that the evacuation and oc-
cupation of Cracow had never been properly explained. He
believed it to have been done with a view of bringing any
conspiracy to a head. The cruelties which had been com-
mitted were known in many instances to have received the
sanction of the Government of Vienna, or at least of their sub-
ordinate otScers, and he thought that a remonstrance on the part
of this country would have much weight in preventing
similar occurrences in future.
The motion was then agreed to with the amendment.
Several Bills were then forwarded a stage, and their Lord-
ships adjourned until Thursday next.

ABOLITION DEODANDS BILL.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER, this 13ill was read a third time and passed.
MILITARY PUNISHMENTS.
Mr. WILLIAMS, se ing the Secretary to the Ordnance
in his place. wished to ask whether the opinion of the law-
officers of the Crown had been taken as to the validity of the
sentence of death passed upon a private marine at Cork for
striking his sergeant.
Mr. WARD said that it had been ascertained that there had
been some informality &severed in the construction of the
court which tried the prisoner, and on that ground, and also
from the recollection that tie had tinderg ne a long uncer •
tainty as to the sentence, they had cot ceived it but right that
the prisoner should be sent back to his company, in the hope
that the or teal which he had undergone would have a benefi-
cial effect on his future conduct.
• MITCHELL'S PETITION.
At the request of Mr. JOHN PARKER,
Mr. T. DUNCONIBE consented to postpone the considera-
tion of this petition till this day week.
APPLICATION OF CAPITAL TO RAILWAYS.
Mr. WILLIAMS wished to ask the Noble Lord, the First
Lord of the Treasury, whether the Government intended to
interpose any check upon the application of capital to railway
construction. He saw that during last session and this as much as
210,000,0001. had been alit ho-ised to be laid out in the construc-
tion of railways. This was likely to create di,arrangement of the
capital usually devoted to the manufactures and commerce of
the country.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that, inasmuch as a Committee
of Inquiry had been instituted at the commencement of the
present session, and they had recommended that no interference
should take place, and inasmuch, also, as the parties who had
obtained their Bills had been put to great expense, it did appear
to be unjust that they should be deprived of the advantage to
which, in consequence of that outlay, they were entitled.
With respect to the general part of the question, he did not see
how, as there was no means of preventing the application of
capital to railways on the Continent, or in the United States
of America, there could be any restriction to the application
of capital to railways within the limits of the United Kingdsm.
The Railway Board which was proposed would, in all probabi-
lity, save all the difficulty.
NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENT BILL.
On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER this Rill was read a second time.
