REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY.

Lord PALMERSTON said he would now move that
a committee be appointed to search the journals of
the House of Lords relating to the proceedings of their lord-
ships in reference to the bill for the repeal of the Excise
duty on paper.

The motion, which was merely of a formal character,
was agreed to.

It was also agreed that the following members should
compose the committee, namely, Lord Palmerston, Lord
John Russell, the Chancellor
.of the Exchequer, Sir G.
Grey, Mr. Clive, Mr. Laing, and Mr. Brand.
After a few minutes absence Lord PALMERSTON
brought up the report of the committee amid much
laughter. It merely contained an extract from the journals
of the House of Lords, stating that the bill was debated,
and the amendment that it be read a first time that day six
months agreed to.

On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, a committee to
search for precedents, of which he had previously given
notice, was appointed.

THE CAVALIERE LUIGI VILLAROSA.
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether, on or about the 11th April last, a fugitive
from the Neapolitan troops at Palermo, the Cavalier° Luigi
Villarosa, applied for refuge to one of the English ships of
war anohored in the harbor ; that he was repulsed by
the captain, alleging that his instructions only allowed him
to extend his protection to British subjects, and that he was
received and protected on board a Russian vessel; and if so,
whether such transaction was previous to the date of the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs' late instruction to
the Admiralty; and whether the officer in question was
now informed of the directions of the Government on the
subject.
Lord J.,RUSSELL said that he had communicated with
the Admiralty, who, he understood, had not received any
information respecting the transaction in question.

In reply to Mr. HENNESSY,

Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he woul l be ready to

subject.

ATTENDANCE OF MINISTERS.
Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on the first day of the
meeting of Parliament after the holidays, he would move
that, in consequence of the pressure of public business,
Ministers to whom questions were to be addressed,
according to notice, should be in their places at four
o'clock. (Laughter.)
