CHARITY COMMISSIONERS.

. Mr. WM KS wished to know what course the present
Government intended to adopt respecting the renewal of the
investigation into public charities in England and Wales.
Six of the largest counties in England had been investigated,
and six of the counties in Wales had been partially investigated.
The Commission had been appointed in the beginning of last
Session, and, of course, there was great anxiety to learn what his
Majesty's Ministers meant to do on this subject.
Mr. GO ULB U RN, at the present moment, could give no
answer, but he hoped to be able to do so in a day or two.
IRISH CORPORATIONS.

Mr. BARRON wished to know whether his Majesty's
Ministers had received the Report of the Commissioners ap-
pointed to inquire into the state of Corporations in Ireland ?
Mr. GOULB 17 RN—The report was received only yester-
day evening, and it was his intention to lay it on the table as
soon as possible.
Mr. BARRON wished to know whether it was intended to
found any measure of reform upon the report of the Corn-
missioners.

Sir R. PEEL had not read the report, and it was therefore
impossible for him to give any answer.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS.

Mr. D. W. HARVEY wished to know when the report of
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would be laid on the table. He
wished to ask whence it was that while it was not yet circu-
lated amongst the Members of that House, it bad for some
days back been in the hands of all the newspapers in London.
He had no objection to the report being put in the posses-
sion of the press, but it ought to be done concurrently
with its being handed to the Members of that House.
Sir R. PEEL could only say for himself, that he had no
hand in sending the report to the newspapers. He could,
therefore, give the Hon. Member no satisfaction whatever.

IRISH CHURCH.
Lord J. RUSSELL.—I informed the Right Hon. Baronet
the other day that I would this evening describe to him the
outline of the motion which I intend to move on Monday next.
I am not prepared to pledge myself
_to the words which it is
my intention to submit to the House, but it is my intention to
move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee for
the purpose of considering the expediency of applying any sur-
plus that may be found in the revenues of the Church of Ire-
land, and which may not be required for the spiritual wants of
the Members of that Church, to the religious and moral instruc-
tion of all classes of the people of Ireland. ( Opposition cheers.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to know, supposing the
House to agree to the proposition, and to go into Committee,
whether the Noble Lord would be prepared to produce the
particular plan by which he proposed to make the appropriation?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that that was a question
which he felt himself not bound to answer.—( Great cheering.)
When the House had resolved itself into a Committee, he
should then be prepared to lay the whole particulars before it.
Mr. FINCH wished to know whether the Noble Lord in-
tended to include under " all classes" the Roman Catholics
of Ireland ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL either returned no answer to this
question, or in so low a tone as to render it impossible to hear
it in the Gallery.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Colonel EVANS, in consequence of what he had heard
with reference to Wallachia and Moldavia, wished to ask the
Noble Lord opposite (Mahon) whether he bad any objection to
lay the recognition, if any had taken place on the part of the
Government, of the nationality of those States arising out of
the treaty of Adrianople. Also the correspondence that bad
taken place between the Government of this country and
Turkey, with reference to Russia. The Gallant Member
thought that It was most important that Parliament should
have the earliest intelligence upon so important a subject,
considering the peculiar circumstances in which Ministers were
placed with respect to that House.—(Cheers.)
Lord NIA HON hoped that the Gallant Member would per-
mit him to defer giving a reply to his question, until he could
ascertain whether it-was consonant with his public duty to do
so, and this would also, probably, enable him to answer the Gal-
lant Member more satisfactorily.
