they would bring it forward next Session at as early a period
as possible ? He wished an answer to be given as to what
were the intentions of Government respecting this Bill.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the intention was to bring
forward this Bill at an early period next Sessipn, and he hoped
that it might be passed.
Lord DUDLEY STUART said that there was a provision
in the Reform Bill to which his constituents felt great repug-
nance. It was, that voters in boroughs should pay Is. on every
registration. He wished to know whether that law was to be
continued ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that as the law was
not altered it remained, and that must be done which the law
required. There could be no objection to the law remaining
as it was another year.
Mr. WYNNE thought the Ministers were responsible for
very great delay in not having taken some steps before this to
improve the mode of registration.
Mr. MILES said that if, through any untoward circum-
stance, a dissolution were to take place at present, no less than
1,600 freeholders would be disfranchised in the county with
which he had the honour of being connected.
Colonel EVANS could see no reason why the present Bill
should be postponed. If it were necessary to postpone any
measure, why not postpone such a one, for instance, as the
Coercion Bill ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there were very. good
reasons for postponing the Bill at present. If it were Intro-
duced next Session it would come into operation just as soon
as if it were passed now. Besides, there was a Committee
sitting at present, whose suggestions might be most valuable,
and they could not be adopted if the measure were brought
forward immediately.
Mr. TOOKE said that last Session the Noble Lord oppo-
site promised that he would this Session bring forward a Bill
with the same object as the present one.
The Bill was then postponed.
TREATY OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
Mr. SHE IL begged to ask the Noble Lord opposite (Pal-
merston) a question respecting the Treaty of Constantinople.
It would be in the recollection of the House that he (Mr.
Shiel) some time since brought forward a motion for a copy of
a treaty, which more particularly related to the passage of the
Dardanelles. The Noble Lord opposite said that a part of it
had been objected to by England, and the same sentiment was
expressed by the then Secretary for the Colonies. The Noble
Lord said it would be inconsistent with the interest of the State
just then to lay the treaty upon the table of the House, but
that it should, upon the first convenient opportunity, be sub-
mitted to their consideration. Now what he wished to ask the
Noble Lord was, first, whether or not the objections of the
British Government had been :met by Turkey and Russia ;
and, secondly, was the Noble Lord prepared to lay the treaty
upon the table.
Viscount PALAIERSTON—The Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber is aware this is a treaty with which this country is not
concerned. It has only been communicated to us. With
respect to the result of the explanation, I am not prepared
to give any explanation.—( Loud and general laughter.)
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that, upon the motion
for the second reading of the Irish Tithe Bill, he should
move that it be postponed to that day six months, and if
his motion were negatived, he should rmove the appropria-
tion clause.
In reply to a question from an HON. MEMBER,
Mr. LABOUCHERE said that two gun-brigs were lately
added to the number already employed in the packet ser-
vice. It was indispensably necessary that they should be
so employed. The unfortunate loss of the Thais rendered
it necessary to employ one of thorn. He, at the same time,
had to state that the Admiralty would get rid, by degrees,
of that class of vessels.—( Hear, hear.) Since he last ad-
dressed the House upon the subject, a contract had been made
for the building of six new vessels for the packet service.
DON CARLOS.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG wished to ask the Noble Lord oppo-
e whether or not Don Carlos was in Spain ?
Viscount PALMERSTON could not say whether he was
or not. A laugh. )
Colonel E VANS wished to know, did the Noble Lord
think it probable that he was ?—( Oh, oh.) Well, at all
events, the Noble Lord might say whether, or to his know-
ledge, Don Carlos was in England ?
Viscount PALMERSTON really knew no more upon the
subject than the Hon. and Gallant Member himself. It was
generally supposed that Don Carlos was in Spain, but Govern-
ment had no authentic information upon the subject.
BATTLE OF NAVARINO.
The House then went into a Committee of Supply.
Mr. L ABO UC HE RE, after a few words, which were not
heard in the gallery, moved that the sum of 60,0001. be voted,
to be distributed amongst the admiral, officers, and sailors, who
were present at the engagement of Navarino.
Colonel DAVIE S wished for some explanation of the prin-
ciple upon which this.distribution was to be made.
Mr. LAB 0 UCHE RE said the money would be distributed
according to a regulation made by Council, and the principle
upon which the distribution was to be made was at so much a
head. The standard would be, nearly as possible, that which
was adopted in distributing the prizes for the engagement of
Algiers ; for the Admiral, 7,8801. ; for the next class, 1,6801. ;
for the next class, 94/. ; for the next class, 61/. ; for the next
; class, 151. for the next class, 6/. 3s. ; for the next class,
41. 10s. ; for the next, 31. 2s. ; and for the last class, that
of boys, 11. 10s.
Mr. POTTER wished for a more detailed account of the
principle upon which the proposed distribution was to be made.
As he (Mr. Potter) understood the Gallant Admiral ( Codring-
ton) upon a former occasion, he declined availing himself of
any portion of the distribution.--( Oh, oh.)
Mr. LAB 0 UCHE RE felt it due to the Gallant Admiral
to state, that if former precedents were followed in the distri-
bution of the present prize money, he should receive a much
larger share than that which it was proposed to give him.—
(Hear, hear.) But upon communicating to the Gallant Ad-
miral the principle upon which the distribution was proposed to
be made, he expressed himself perfectly satisfied.—( Hear.)
Mr. SHEIL said that a regulation had been suggested by
Sir James Graham for the distribution of prize money, which
had met with the warmest reception by the House. Now he
wished to know was that principle acted upon in the present
case, and if it was not, what was the reason ? The principle to
which he adverted was calculated to improve the condition of
the seamen, and that was the reason he wished to see it adopted
by the House.
Mr. LAB OUC HE R E said the present distribution was
quite an arbitrary one, made as nearly as possible upon that
which took place with respect to the Exmouth expedition.
Mr. POTTER repeated that Sir E. Codrington had de-
clined his share of the prize, and he did not see why the
House should force a sum of money on a man who was un-
willing to receive it.---( Oh, oh.)
Mr. MIL DMA Y was surprised at the observation of the
Hon. Member opposite ; he appeared unwilling to grant so
large a sum as 60,0001., so that it would appear he measured
his justice by the amount of money he would bestow.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG said that according to the plan pro-
posed, the sum received by the Admiral should be equal to
seven years' pay, while that to be given to a seaman would be
equal only to two months' pay. This was a hardship, if not
an injustice to the seamen, and it was founded too upon the
regulation of the present day, and not upon that which existed
at the time the action took place.
Mr. G 0 UL BURN did not rise to object to the ground
upon which the distribution was made, nor to the application
of.any particular principle, but he objected to having a rule
applied in this case which was never made before. Against
this he entered his protest. He would not oppose any parti-
cular appropriation of the grant if it were once agreed to, but
he was opposed to the creation of a precedent which might
hereafter justify actions which should take place without any
express directions from Government.—( Hear.) This was the
objection he had to the present grant being made at all.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
had the Right Hon. Gentleman been present at the discussion
the other evening, he would have seen that the almost unani-
mous feeling of the House was in favour of the grant being
made. The Noble Lord was understood to say that it was
in obedience to this feeling of the House that he consented to
the grant being made.
Mr. G 0 Ul;B URN was understood to say that the Noble
Lord, had he so thought proper, might have directed the feel-
ing of the House against giving the grant, instead of being
himself influenced to acquiesce in it.
Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON said that he had cer-
tainly offered, so far as he himself was concerned, to forego
his claims to any share in the Navarino prize money ;
but it had been suggested to him that, however he might
be able to afford such a sacrifice, yet the precedent he
would be establishing would be one very unfavourable to
the service, and that he should not, therefore, persevere in it.
That, he trusted, would be a sufficient answer to the Hon.
Member (Mr. Potter), who appeared to think that he should
not accept of his share of the prize money. With respect to
the merits of the case, he thought that the engagement of Na-
varino was exactly parallel to that of Algiers. Lord Exmouth
had been ordered to negotiate, and in the event of his being
unsuccessful, to employ force, and he ( Sir E. Codrington)had
been ordered to negotiate, and failing, to use force. In his
case the opposing party refused to listen to his proposals for
negotiation—in fact they met it by firing on him. He had then
with him a copy of a circular, which he issued previous to the
engagement, from which it might be seen how anxious he was
to avoid it if possible. In that circular he used the very words
of his instructions, though of course he did not allow those to
whom the circular was addressod to know that he had quoted
from his express instructions.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG said that the principle upon which the
distribution of this money was to be made, was most inequita-
ble and unfair to the seamen,—and he should support the
amendment.
Mr. L ABOUCHE RE admitted that the recently adopted
system of distribution was more equitable than the former one,
but as the sum now about to be awarded was gained whilst the
old system was in operation, they' could not in justice alter the
mode of distribution.
Some conversation here ensued with respect to the distribu-J
tion of this grant, after which the Committee divided on Mr.
Shell's amendment, when the numbers appeared--
For the Amendment
Against it 129
Majority
The amendment was lost.
The original motion was then carried.
Mr. LABO UC HERE moved that the sum of 100,000/. be
granted towards the monthly allowance of pay to seamen and
marines of his Majesty's Navy, pursuant to the order of his
Majesty of the 18th of November, 1830, for the increase of the
comforts of the naval forces of this country.
Mr. LITTLETON moved a resolution that there be
granted 12,2321. for salaries and attendants of the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland and certain other officers, whose incomes had
been defrayed out of the Irish Civil List fund hitherto.
Col. DAVIE S moved that the sum be reduced by 1,0701.

Next, that a sum of 6,0001. be granted for defraying the

Mr. O'DWYER moved a reduction of 5,0001. on the

After a few words from Mr. LITTLETON, Mr. RUTFIVEN,
and Mr. S. RICE, the amendment was withdrawn, and the
original resolution was agreed to.

in Ireland. Agreed to.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR said, at this late hour of the night he
would oppose the motion.

Lord SA NDON said it would do honour to England and
to Europe that a reward should be given to Captain Ross.
Agreed to.

Tice report was brought up and ordered to be received on
Wednesday next.
NEWSPAPER POSTAGE BILL.
Mr. V. SMITH moved the order of the day for the House
resolving itself into a committee of the whole House on the
Newspaper Postage Bill.
Several clauses were agreed to. The report of the Bill
was brought up, and ordered to be received this day.

The Church Temporalities' (Ireland) Bill was deferred till
to-morrow.
Mr. LITTLETON said that, at the present period of the
Session, he would withdraw the Civil Bill Courts Bill for
Ireland.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he much regretted the withdrawal
of this Bill, as it was one of the few measures which would
confer any benefit upon Ireland.
MERCHANT SEAMEN'S WIDOWS' BILL.
The Merchant Seamen's Widows' Bill, with some other ad-
ditional clauses, was read a third time and passed.
The House then adjourned at three o'clock.

DOCTOR DOYLE.

CARLOW, JULY 17.

This being the day appointed by the clergy of the late
Dr. Doyle to commemorate his virtues, and perform the
public ceremony called a " month's mind," I was induced,
not less by a desire to witness matters of some novelty to an
English traveller, than by the high character of the deceased,
to accompany some of his friends to the scene of his latter
days. The inducement was the greater on hearing that
Dr. Kinsella, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Kilkenny,
where I have been sojourning a few days, was to preach
the funeral oration. We arrived here shortly before
12 o'clock, and having procured a seat in the left transept
of the Cathedral, nearly under the pulpit, listened for an
hour and a half to the voices of Archbishops Murray and
Slattery, and nearly two hundred priests chaunting forth a
high mass and office, for the soul of the deceased in strains
more solemn, sonorous, and commanding, than grateful to a
fastidiously musical ear. It would, however, be hypocritical
to say, that though little of melody, there was not much
harmony in their solemn effusions ; for the sounds greatly
elevated the mind, and disposed it to religious enthusiasm.
When the singing had ended, Dr. Kinsella ascended the
pulpit, habited in his episcopal robes, and took for his text
the following words. " For it is fit that this corruption
should put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immor-
tality. But when this corruption shall have put on incor-
ruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall have been fulfilled the word that was written,
death hath been absorbed in victory. Oh grave, where is
thy victory ? oh death, where is thy sting ?" The learned
prelate continued for an hour to explain to his auditory the
application of this passage to the loss and bereavement they
had sustained in the death of their illustrious bishop. He
briefly recapitulated the chief events of Dr. Doyle's life, as
connected with his sacerdotal functions ; and dwelt long
and pathetically on that portion of it spent in Carlow
College as Professor of Theology ; " where," said the Rev.
Speaker, with great feeling and emotion, " he first poured
into my mind the precepts and doctrines of the Christian
Church, and formed me to the ministry of the divine word."
He then proceeded to describe Dr. Doyle as being always
of a weak and infirm constitution, which he never spared or
indulged, even at the most anxious entreaties and pressing
solicitations of those friends, who saw that the exertions of
a vigorous and active mind, would soon wear out the
energies of an imbecile body. His time was continually
occupied in acquiring knowledge, or communicating it to
others : seldom or never enjoying, even since his elevation
to the prelacy, that repose from the duties of a Catholic
Priest which his tottering frame so much needed, and which
is generally enjoyed by the higher order of clergy. To
remonstrances on this subject, by the worthy preacher, and
others who were alarmed for his health, and wished him a
longer sojourn in this world, his invariable reply was some
text of Scripture, implying that, it was the duty of all who
embraced a religious life to be continually watching and
labouring in their vocation. He then accounted for his
having some years since become a man of " public life,"
known to the world by his writings on behalf of his religion
and country. This was owing to the necessity which ho
thought devolved on him of acting on the defensive against
those who misrepresented the tenets of the Catholic Church,
for the purpose of continuing the penal laws that debarred
the great mass of the people of Ireland from the
benefits and honours of the British Constitution. This
part of the address was touched upon with great tact
and delicacy. While the speaker evinced an earnest wish
to develop all the leading characteristics of the deceased, in
the language of truth and simplicity, he at the same time
showed how intimately acquainted he was with the sources,
grounds, and extent of those prejudices, which have been
excited in this country, by persons who either did not un-
derstand, or were jealous of the great moral influence which
Dr. Doyle's writings had gained over his countrymen of
every persuasion. The sermon concluded with an exhor-
tation conformably to the tenets and practices of the
Catholic church, to the effect, that the auditory would pray
for the soul of the deceased prelate ; and endeavour to
follow the example of religion and public 'virtue, which had
been exhibited to them during the entire life and ministry
of their late benevolent and pious pastor. My anticipations
from Dr. Kinsella's &Me and character here, were not dis-
appointed. He had been the pupil, and latterly one of the
most affectionate friends and attendants on the deceased
bishop. This circumstance afforded him an opportunity of
knowing the leading features of his character, and pointed
him out as the fittest person to pronounce the funeral
oration of his lamented friend. His discourse, on this oc-
casion, manifested great learning, and an intimate know-
ledge of his sacred profession ; which, however, he confined.
within limits suited to the time and place, and comprehen-
sion of his entire audience. It was free from metaphor, and.
the slightest affectation, or ambitioning after the graces of a
turgid and false eloquence. There was no verbiage, no re-
petition, or new colouring of ideas once expressed ; but a
strong, chaste, and manly effusion of thoughts, in which the
leading traits of the deceased's character 'were so finely
pourtrayed as to represent a vivid image of truth, and recal
to the minds of the hearers the value and worth of their
departed friend. The effect was manifested by sighs and
tears, awften as the speaker alluded to those facts, with
which th 7 congregation seemed well acquainted.
At the conclusion of the sermon I hastened to Braganza.
House, the residence of Dr. Doyle, about half a mile from
this town. It is a small cottage-like building, beautifully
situated on the banks of the Barrow ; and had been pur-
chased some time ago, by public subscription, for its late
possessor and his successors, in testimony of the people's
sense of the great services rendered by him to his religion
and country. No appearance of wealth or luxury, or
andc whichostlyf furniture

attraction there,
be enjoyed by his successor, is a fine full length portrait of
the deceased ; which had been a short time since executed
by M. Slaverty, and paid for by a few of Dr. Doyle's
clergy and friends.
While I was visiting at Braganza, I understand a meet-
ing was held at the College, to take into consideration the
erection of a national testimonial to Dr. Doyle's memory.
It appears that during his life he had expressed a wish to
have established an agricultural society at Carlow, under
which the poor of the surrounding district might be em-
ployed. This suggested the idea of carrying the worthy
prelate's intention into effect, by associating his name with
the institution ; and thus showing, how even in death he
wished to be useful to his country. It seems that letters
from Lord Duncannon, Spring Rice, the Grattans, and
other friends of Ireland, were read at the meeting, approv-
ing of the plan ; and it is expected it will be carried into
effect by public subscription.
