BONDED WAREHOUSES.

Captain PE CHELL was instructed to ask whether it was
intended to interfere with the present arrangements respecting
bonded warehouses.?
Mr. P. THOMPSON—As the subject was soon to be
brought under the 'consideration of the House, he thought it
better, and he was sure the Hon. and Gallant Member would

agree with him, to reserve till then any information that will
required on the subject.
Mr. HUME thought it would save great trouble if the
Orders in Council and Minutes of the Treasury were laid on
the table. •
IMPORTATION OF WOOL INTO FRANCE.
Mr. HEATHCOTE wished to ask the Right Hon. Geo•
tleman a question respectiere the importation of English wool
into France—namely, whether any steps had been taken to
lower the duties upon wool in t;eat country
Mr. P. THOMPSON said France had reduced in some de-
gree the duties upon foreign wool importeed into that country.
At the same time, he promised that the Cover:ln-lent would
not diminish their efforts upon this respect to induce the
French Government to alter their duties, and to diminish the
duties upon English produce.—( Hear, hear.)
IRISH POOR.
Lord MORPETH brought up the third Report of the
Commissioners appointed to enquire into the state of the' 'css
in Ireland.—( Cheers.)
CORPORATION REFORM—INSULT TO THE
HOUSE.
Mr. DIVETT rose to bring forward a subject to which
begged the particular indulgence of the House. He did not
see the Hon. Member for St. Ives present.
Mr. HUME suggested. to the Hon. Member to postpone his
motion till the Hon: Member for St. Ives was in his place.
Mr. DIVETT saw the Hon. Member for St. Ives in tb
House about half an hour ago, and told him that
hn
would certainly brims the subject before the Howe
-at five o'clock.—(Hear, hear.) Under these circurn-
stances, he conceived that he was not bound to postpone'
the subject, merely because the Hon. Member for St. Ives
did not choose to attend. He would simply confine himself
to reading the notice of the flOn. Member for St. Ives. Mr..
Divett then read the notice, which was as follows :
" That all Prisoners in Newgate, and the other gaols in England
and Wales, although possessing no other qualification, be, upon the:
principle of the Bill, entitled indiscriminately to an equal participa,
Lion in all the franchises, as well magisterial as elective, thereby-7
created ; and that, to obviate all uncertainty or doubt of the bene-
volent intention of the Bill, and the happy tendency thereof, being,
in effect, to render all the higher ranks of his Majesty's loyal
and respectable subjects subordinate to the lowest, without regard
to property or character, a clause be introduced, in accordance with.
the same principle, expressly enacting to that effect; and that it.
may for ever thereafter be well underst9od, that the whole popu-
lation in the Corporate jur:sdictions arc, in all other relations of
life,_ placed upon a footing of perfect equality, agreeably to the na-
tural rights of man ; and also, a clause to provide a suitable retreat
for the gentry residing within these jurisdictions, and who, with a
mind and feelings becoming their station, may seek an escape for
themselves from the scene of such a revolutionary infliction."
He thought that the Hon. Member ought to apologise for such
a notice as this, and he moved in the strongest language possi-
ble that this notice be expunged from the Journals.—( Rear.)
Mr. HUME seconded the motion. He always under-
stood that notices were intended to call the attention
of Members to subjects of practical importance. Therefore
it was that he joined his Hon. Friend in thinking that the
notice should be struck out of the Journals.
Mr. DIVETT conceived that the notice was a gross insult
to the House, and the electors of the country. He had no
wish to make the motion in the absence of the Hon. Member.
—(Cries of " No, no," Geli!") " He had given the flon.
Member full notice of it, anda it seemed to be the wish of ,
the House, be would now move that it be expunged from the-
journals of the House.
Sir GEORGE CLERK doubted whether' any thing could
now be done with respect to ..thiS "notice. 'He supposed, as
the Honourable Member had given notice of this motion, that
he intended to found'a resolution upon ite-(Cries of " Oh,
oh I")—if he made such a motion, and it was entered
on the journals of the House, it would then be 'competent
to move that it should be expunged from the journals.
In the shape, however, it at present stood, he thought the
House ought not to interfere. He did not see what the Hon.
Member would get by expunging it from the paper, as it would
be competent fur the Hon. Member who had given that notice
to renew it at any time.
Mr. WARBURTON hoped the Hon. Member for Exeter
would consent to move that it should be expunged only. He
(Mr. W.) looked upon it rather as a speech than a notice.
Mr. RUTHVEN thought the motion rather premature,
as, in his opinion, the notice was not worth more than laughing
at, and that its absurdity was its best answer. •
Mr. DIVETT could only suppose that the notice was in-
tended as an insult to that House, when it had been coolly and
deliberately put upon the notices. He begged to persist in
the motion as amended by the Hon. Member for Bridport, that
the notice be expunged.
Colonel PERCEVAL suggested that the Hon. Member
should defer his motion till to-morrow. He thought that
many notices of a similar nature had previously appeared in
the Journals of that House, without calling forth such severity

of censure.
Mr. RICHARDS agreed with the Hon. Member for
Exeter that it Was an instance of very bad taste ; hut if his
notice was persevered in, it would lead to a very inconve-
nient precedent.
Sir C. B. VERE thought the House might express its
censure, and condemn it, but striking out the notice would be
a very dangerous precedent.
Mr. DIVETT, seeing the sense of the House was against
him, would withdraw his motion.
Mr. HUME would not consent to such a notice being printed
ia fiture with their proceedings, and he would therefore move
that it be discontinued from among the notices.
Mr. MILES said the feeling of both sides of the House
appeared to he, that the matter was utterly unworthy of no-
tice ; and he regretted that this discussion bad given it any
further notoriety.
Colonel L. HAY differed very much from the Hon. Member

far Somerset: He, for one, would not consent to its re-
maining on the printed notices of the House, and should take
the sense of the House upon it.
Mr. V ILK S regretted that the question had been brought
forward at all. As it was, he would by no means consent to
its being printed in future with thc., minutes.—( Question.)
The Earl of LINCOLN said a few words, amid cries of

" Question," " Divide."
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Gallery was
cleared for a division; during our exclusion we understood
that a lengthened and animated discussion took place, and
that the motion was agreed to without a division.
