quE,r if he had ascertained, and could now state, the total

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he

bad stated. what was the sum estimated by Mr. Turner the
Government agent in India, and that it would bo recol-
lect.•d was £6,800,000, but there would be charges he did

THE MAYOR OF CORK.

In reply to Mr. DAWS3N,

The ATTORNEY-Gr&EttAL said he hud to state

that the deplorable language attributed to the Mayor of
Cork had been used by him on the occasion referred to.
Before the hon. member had put the question on the
paper, the Government had felt it their duty to institute
inquiry into the matter. This language had been used,
and whether the office of the Chief Magistrate of
Cork could no longer in consistency with dignity
be longer continued in their hands, was a matter
the Executive Government nor the Lord-Lieutenant could
determine, as neither had power to remove a person
holding the office of chief magistrate. He therefore gave
notice that to-morrow ho should ask for leave to intro-
duce a bill to disqualify the present Mayor of Cork &cut
any longer continuing to fill the office of Mayor of Cork,
or indeed any other office connected with t►ae magistracy,
or any other position in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) It was
right to Alto that the Government were of opinion that
this was the more necessary, be cause by the Municipal
Charter the Mayor of Cork could sit at the next assizes of
oyer and terminer. To-morrow he would state fully the
law on the matter, and a'so the reasons why the bill should
receive the assent of the house. With respect
to the latter part of the question as to the
conduct of the people of Cork on Sunday evening, it would
be most unjust to attribute the meeting to the inhabitants
of the city of Cork, and it was, having regard to the num-
Lens that attended it, unworthy any attention whatever.
(Loud cheers.)
