fortnight, to call the attention of the House to the ne-
cessity of reforming the existing quarantine laws.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.
Sir R. PEEL—I beg to give notice that, on Thurs-
day next, at the time of private business, I shall call
the attention of the House to the state of railway
legislation, and to the number of railway Bills
before as. At the same time I shall propose a
sessional order, the effect of which will be that the
House will resolve that it will not give its consent to
the third reading of any railway Bill unless it shall be
notified to the House previously that a meeting of share-
holders and scripholders of the Company who promote
the Bill, convened after due notice, had been held, at
which a certain proportion of the parties had signified
their desire that the Bill should be proceeded with.—
(Cheers.) I will simply lay at present upon the table of
the House the whole of the resolutions I shall move on
Thursday, so that the House may be in full possession

Mr. H. BERKELEY called the attention of the House
to a paragraph which had recently appeared in
the limes, with respect to the uttering of base coin
on unfortunate females. He wished to ask the Right lion.
Baronet whether it was the determination of her Ma-
je,ty's Government to put the law in abeyance with re•
spect to the uttering of base coin, when passed upon
whether it was their in•
unfortunate femalt4, and if so,
tention to carry out the principle in all other details?
Sir G. CLERK said, that having seen the statement in
the newspapers to which the Hon. Gentleman had a
e

ferred, he, h duty to make inquiry intoad thought it his
the subject, and he was informed that no such regulation
existed

The statement in the Times, therefore,
some mistake. That statement also attracted the atten-
tion of the Attorney-General, and he al so had made
inquiries, and with the same result as that which had at-
tended the inquiries made by him (Sir G. Clerk).
IRISH COLLEGES.
Mr. E. B. ROCIIE said that under the Colleges
(Ireland) Bill, passed last session, Cork was fixed upon
as a proper place for a public college to be built. Now,
although the Bill had been passed twelve
months, yet no step had apparently yet
been taken
for carrying Out the provisions of the measure;
even the sites for the colleges had not yet been fixed. He
wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether the Go-
vernment really intended to carry out the law that was
passed last session, and if so, why so much delay had oc-
curred, at a time when 30,000 pers( ns were out of em•
ployment in Cork ? He wished to know whether the
Government intended to carry out the Bill, or whether
they had come round to the opinion that these colleges
would be infidel institutions ?
Sir J. GRAHAM said, that so far from any neglect
having taken place en the part of the Government, with
respect to proceedings with the Irish Colleges, the pre-
sident and vice-president had been appointed, the site of
one of the colleges at Belfast had been fixed upon, and,
in a few days, the site of the one at Cork would be
chosen.
