From the observations made by the chairman, and
some of the professors who addressed the meeting in
the course of the proceeding, it appeared that the re-
sources of the charity had been severely tested dur-
ing the past year, no less than 19,105 (1,210 in and
17,895 out) ipdigent sick persons having been admitted
during the period upon the books for relief, at a cost of
2,4301. Of these 17,885 were relieved without any re-
commendation whatsoever. The entire number of sick
and needy individuals relieved by the institution from its
establishment as a dispensary in 1818 to the 31st of
December, 1850, was 186,863.

sure could not in any way prejudice lessees,. becakse
those who wished might obtain a renewal of their leas
from the ecclesiastical bodies with whom they had t.
deal. As to the details, it might be asked why not at
once lay down the rules which were to govern them.
hits answer was, that a very great number of matters;
were to be taken into consideration, which it was not d
u i
e-
s able to embody in the Bill. There were, for n-
atance, leases of titles, leases in the north, and leasesin
(Af-
ferent south of England, which were placed on a very
footing from each other. There were also leases
of names, leases of houses, anti various other matters re-
specting which experience, as the measure came into
operation, would be requisite in order to deal advanta-
geously with them.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the sort of legislation
which the measure introduced.
Mr. BARRON objected to the second reading of the

Bill.
Lord PALMERSTON said the discussion Which had
taken place should lead the House to the second reading'
of the Bill with the view of discussing the details in
Committee. All agreed that the principle was good,
the objections expressed being only to the details of tbo
Bill, and even those who wish the Bill to stand over until
next session ought to vote for its second reading, in
order that in Committee they might be able to state
their objections to its details, so that the measure might
go to the country with such amendments as Hon. Gen-
tlemen desired to effect in it. Ho thought the House
in the present session might shape the measure so as
to free it from every objection, but even those who
thought otherwise ought to vote for the second reading of
the Bill.
Mr. B. I)ENISON said there was no chance that the
Bill could proceed this session, and it was better to post-
pone it altogether.
In reply to Mr. FORSTER,
The. CHANCELLOR of the, EXCHEQUER said the
Bill did apply to mines.
The House divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading 45
Against it 34
Majority for the second reading —ll
Sir B. HALL complained of the late period of the
session at which all Bills affecting the temporalities of
the Church were brought before the House, and then
hurried through it with indecent haste. The 3d and 4th
William IV., for instance, received the royal assent on
the 14th August, 1833. The 3d and 4th of Victoria, C-
-113, received the royal assent on the 11th of August,
1840, and he might state a case which showed in a re-
ulikable manner the operation of the system. A
deanery was attached to a bishopric, and it had been re-
commended by the Commissioners that the deanery
should be abolished. The Bill which should effect that
object was passed through all its stages on Saturday.
the 9th of August, and on Monday, the 11th, it received
the royal assent. The bishop, however, was installed on,
the intervening Sunday, and thus defeated the intention
of the Bill. He mentioned these to show the necessity
for the laiety being allowed time to consider Bills of this
character, and in the present they should have an op-
portunity of considering what they would have to pay
in the cases contemplated by the Bill; for he saw by
one of the clauses the Commissioners wore to settle the
whole of the payment, the Commissioners being no.
other than the bishops, in whom the public had lost all
confidence in their capacity as Commissioners. Ile pro-
tested, then, against the Government bringing forward
the measure, and he pledged himself to use every means
to retard its progress if they pressed it this session.
It was an attempt on the part of the bishops to enforce a
most arbitrary price for land, and they have not the de-
cency to enable members of the leity to communicate
witn the lessees on the subject. Let the House, ,
come to the further consideration of the Bill with the
full understanding that it should not be brought to a
third reading this session.
Colonel SIB JCIIORY considered it a most ungrateful
attempt on the part of the Government to force on this
Bill at so late a period of the session.
Mr. AGLIONBY would endeavour to amend the Bill,
and if he did not succeed in his effort, then he would en'
deaveur to have it postponed until next session.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was de-
sirous to aid Members in improving the Bill, and in re'
medying any defects that could be pointed out in it.
Mr. J. A. SMITH understood that the Bill was to be
no more then a permissive Bill.
The Bill was ordered to be committed at one o'clock
to-morrow.
The New Zealand Settlements and Lunatics Bill to
be read a third time to-morrow.
The Canada and New Brunswick Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Centerbury Association, Nuisances Removal and.
Diseases Prevention Bill, were read a second time.
PETTY SESSIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
The consideration this Bill in Committee was re
sumed.
Colonel DUNNE charged the Government with breach
of faith in couseeting to withdraw that portion of clause
10 which proposed to give magistrates power to act sual-
marily in cases of felony.
Some verbal amendments were made in two or three
of the clauses, and the Bill went through Committee.
Mr. KINDERSLEY, Master in Chancery, brought UP
several Bills from the Lords.
The House then went into Committee on the Summary
Jurisdiction (Ireland) Bill, the several clauses of which
were agreed to, with a few verbal alterations, and the
House resumed.
THE COLLECTION OF FINES, Sec., (IRELAND)
BILL.
This Bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered to
be road a third time
CONSTABULARY FORCE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion that the House go into Committee on
th© Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill,
Mr. CONNOLLY presented a petition from the grill
jury of the county of Donegal, complaining of the lin""tea
force of the constabulary in the county as compared vita
the population.
The House then went into Committee on the Bill.
Mr. F. FRENCH said he felt it to be his duty to or
pose the Bill, against which he protested as most unit's.:
in principle. He hoped some notice, however
would be taken of what he was about to say.--(llo
hear.) The object of the Bill was to abolish the eelse_
of paymaster of the constabulary force in Ireland, ~.uh
office which bad been created in 1846. As long as t't,",
officers appointed to the office had been paid by Irelaho
the Government did not interfere,. but the moment thei
payment of these officers was fixed on the Consolidate!!

a Bill for the abolition of the office of Paymaster of 0:

situation of paymaster of the force in Ireland, and we"
appointed to hold the office during good behaviour.
Those gentlemen had broken up their establishments.
and entered on the duties of the situation in confidefor

expectation that provision would bo made
them in consideration of their services, and amongst
them was Captain Galbraith, ices,

who had
served in the Peninsular war. From the army he went
in 1819 into the constabulary, in which he discharged
with credit the duties of the several positions to which
he was advanced. Ho had then served thirty years in
the constabulary force—a service which should entitle
him to a pension of at least 2501. a year; but it was no
