MESSAGE FROM THE. COMMONS.
Mr. P. S FEWART and others from the Commons brough,
up the Fines and Recoveries Bill, and the Spirit Licenses
Bill.

The Duke of RICHMOND moved that the amendments
of the Commons to the Prison Discipline Bill be agreed to.
The Marquis of SALISBURY wished to introduce an
amendment to exempt the City of London from the opera-
tion of this Act.

The Duke of RICHMOND had had some communication
with Lord John Russell, the result of which was that his
Lordship was disposed to agree to the amendment,
but he had told Lord John Russell what he had also
said in the House, that the gaols of the City of
London were a disgraco to it.—( Hear, bear, hear.) He
admitted that Bridewell was well managed, but he did not
think the City gaols ought to be exempted. However, if his
Noble Friend could make any arrangement with the Govern-
ment, he had nothing to do with it.
Lord MELBOURNE did not see why he should interfere
to exclude Bridewell from the operation of the Bill.
The motion was then agreed to.
Lord FARNHAM presented two petitions from Ireland
against the Irish Tonnage Duties Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Belfast
Steam-packet Company to the same effect; and two like peti-
tions from other parties interested. The Noble Lord said if
the Bill were passed, it would double the present rate of dues.
Several petitions against the Irish Chu"ch Bill were pre-
sented by Lord FARNHAM and others.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY called the attention of
the Duke of Cleveland to a letter he had received respecting the
petition from Darlington, Durham, in favour of the Corporation
Reform Bill, denying that the petition was agreed to at a
public meeting, and that it was hawked about and signed by
boy.. The letter was signed by Thomas Horner, solicitor,
Darlinolon.

Thli Duke of CLEVELAND knew most of the persons
of respectablility in Darlington, but very much doubted that
this Mr. Horner was one of that class. He had also received
a letter informing him that such a communication would be
made to his Noble Friend ; and though he did not feel at
liberty to disclose the name of his informant, the contents of
his letter were sufficient to him that Mr. Horner was no very
safe authority to rest on.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY explained.
Lord BROUGHAM had presented a petition from Gates-
head, which was as much in Durham as Darlington.
Lord DUNCANNON presented the Report of the Com-
mittee appointed to inquire into the necessity of providing a
temporary addition to the House of Lords. The Committee
l.ad resolved that such a provision was unnecessary.
The Tonnage Duties Bill went through Committee.
Lard BROUGHAM presented petitions in favour of Ale
Corporation Reform Bill from Dunbar, the Corporation of
Aberdeen, from a township in the West Riding of York, and
from Chorley, in Lancashire.
On the motion of the Earl of M INTO the House went into
Committee on the Scotch Savings' Banks Bill. The Report
was ordered to be brought up to-morrow.
Lord GLE NE LG presented a petition from Inverness, and
one from another place in Scotland, in favour of the Corpora-
tion Reform Bill.

On the motion of Lord AUCKLAND the Wool Duties
Bill was read a second time.
IRISH CHURCH BILL.
Lord MELBOURNE moved that the House resolve itself
into Committee on the Irish Church Bill.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND rose to express his regret
that the Noble and Learned Lord opposite had charged him with
not acting it, fair and straightforward manner in his opposition
to this measure. Now he begged to say that he had acted in
a straightforward manner, for he declared at once, in plain
terms, that he was decidedly opposed to the principle of the
Bill.

Lord BROUGHAM said the Noble Duke was never more
mistaken in his life—for to say the truth he never knew a more
fair or straightforward opponent—he had left him no cause to
complain, for he had declared himself an open enemy.
The Duke of CUMBERLAND—the Noble and Learned
Lord at the same time said that he (the Duke of Cumber-
land) was generally in the wrong, and that he (Lord
Brougham) was generally in the right. The Noble and
Learned Lord also said, that his conduct on this measure was
most extraordinary.
Lord BROUGHAM—The Noble Duke was quite right in
saying, that he thought himself in the right, not generally,
but always.—(Bear, hear, hear, and great laughter.)
The Noble Duke thought he had made a discovery,
but he discovered nothing at, all, except that he (Lord
B.) acted upon the opinion he held, believing himself
right, and that was the way all their Lordships had acted, and
continued to act, which he sometimes wished they would not.
On Clause 1 being read,
The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to propose an amend-
ment, and was left speaking.
