tional recreation to the people on Saturday afternoons,

PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS.
Vi count GODERICH called the attention of the
house to a pamphlet tat had beet] printed and published
by the bon. and ga lint member for Westminster, criti-
cising the conduct of several hoe, members. In Feb. last
a select committee was appointed, of which be and the
gallant member for Westminster were members, to in-
quire into the manner in which reibto cements werejsent
to India lag year, and to devise the bast means of send-
ing them there in future. The 'document referred tn, the
noble for I said, insinuated that he and other members of
the committee had acted from a desire to screen the late
Government from the censure they deserved for their con-
duc in this respect. He also complained that the docu-
ment having been printed at the public expense, the only
members who, had been able t obtain a coil of it were
those who were on the hor, and gallant member's list.
Ue to that time. he (Lord Godericb) had been unable to
obtain one. The noble lord deci,,d the imputation cast
in him and those who voted with him on the commit'ee,

and he moved the adjournment of the house to enable
the Loa. and gallant member to explain the matter be
(Lord Goderich) had felt imperatively called upon to
bring before the house.
Sir DE L. EVANS, after referr'ng to the manner in
which the subject had been brought before the
house, said it was his intention to have brought
it before the house, and he had invited the
noble to do so. lie admitted that he had
acted irregu'arly in what he had done, but he con-
sidered the importance of the sut.jct justified what he
had done. He had no desire however to wound the
feelings of any hon. member who differed from him. He
was proceeding to enter into a c)nsideration of the evi-
dence, to show that his opinion was correct, when
The CHANCELLOR, el the EXCHEQUER rose to
order. The discusAon must be cmfined to personal
eiplAnations, and not he ext:ndtd to a general debate
on the whole sot j eat. (Hear, hear.)
Sir DE LACY EVANS had nothing farther to add
in personal exp'.agati in, and in accordance with the
desire of the house he refrained from entering on the
sulject generally.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the conduct of tte hon. and gallant member was irregu-
lar and improper; and as he had admitted it, he thought
nothing further would be gained by prolonging the dis-

cu; .ion.
L,rd GODERIOS accepted the Explanation of the
hon. and gallan'; member, and tha motion was with-

drawn.
The subject dropped.

J third tone and passed.
Toe adjourned debate on the third reading of this bill
was resu.: ad by
Mr, WARREN, who said the bill had been
presented to the house under false colours. He
denied that this was a compromise, aed sa,id
the question admitted of no compromise. It was
a species of patchwork legislation that ought not
to be sanctioned by the house. The house ought not
to admit Jews to Parliament except in accordance with
the expressel will of the people ; and he contended
the people ought to be appealed to on the subject be.
fore be house passed this bill. If the people sanctioned
it, then it was their place to give way. Not a mem-
ber of the house cordiolly approved of the bill, and he
regretted her M.iesty's Government bad found it nEeteg-
tarp to giv e Ray to 1: re, sure on this tut jest. He
sole:nnly protested against the pawing of the bill,
and said that 14 500 petitions hsil been presented
against the admission of Jews to Parliament, and only
between 300 stud 400 had been presented in favour o
