PUBLIC-HOUSES (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Mr. HUME presented a petition against the Public.
houses (Scotland) Bill.
TRANSATLANTIC PACKETS.

Mr. WHI TESIDE asked the First Lard of the
Treasury, whether it be the intention of her Majesty's
Government to a•;upt measures towards the formation of
transatlantic packet station in Galway, or any other
Irish port.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not answer the qua
tion at the present mi.mer,t.
THE CHOLERA OF 1849.

Mr. JACGB BELL asked Lord Seymour, whether
the reports of the inspectors and medical inspectors re-
specting the cholera epidemic of 1848.9 are preserved;
if so, whether there would be any obVction to handing
over those documents to the Epidemiological Society?
Lord SEYMOUR said the Board of Health would
have no objection to give any information in their power
to the Epidemiological Society.
Mr. JAMES CLAY asked the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affitirs-this being the year during which
(under the agreement of 1841 with :Demark regulating
the dues levied by that country on goods passing the
Sound), notice can be givenof terminating such agree-
ment, whether it is the intention of her Majesty's
Government so to give notice; also, whether any and
what negociations have been entered upon between this
country and Russia, or Prussia, having for their object
the commutation of these slues for an immediate money
payment to Denmark, or other compensation.
Lord PALMERSTON said that at present there was
no intention on the part of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to give notice to the Danish Govern-
ment to dissolve the existing agreement
with Denmark, nor had any negotiations passed
between the two Governments on the subject. He thought
the House would agree with him that whatever might
take place, this was not the exact moment to press
hardly on a country which like Denmark had just passed
through a season of great trial—(Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON, at the Bar of the House,
communicated her Majesty's reply to two addresses
which had been presented to her by the House of Com-
mons, one praying that two laymen be added to the
Chancery Commission, and the other, that steps might
be taken to relieve the spiritu.il destitution of the people.
Her Majesty was graciously pleased to signify her gra-
cious went to the prayer of both addresses.
AT TORNIES AND SOLICITORS' CERTIFICATE
DUTY.

Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, in asking leave to
re-introduce a Bill for the repeal of the attornies and
solicitors' annual certificate duty, said the grounds on
which he did so was that this duty was partial, unjust, and
ePpreesive. Oa the last occasion when he brought this
suoject under the attention of the House, no less than
259 .Members voted in favour of the repeal to 224
against it, thus giving a majority in supprt of the prin-
ciple which he advocated. If the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would promise to agree to the repeal of the
tax next session, in the event of the income-tax
being renewed, and no unforseen circumstances arising
in the country, he would be content with simply laying
the Bill on the fable; but he should feel compelled to
pews his motion if the Right Ron Gentleman could not
