BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The same NOBLE LORD said, that in accordance with the
usual custom at this advanced period of the Session he should
move the Orders of the Day to take precedence of .no es of
motion.—( Hear, hear.)
On the question being put,
Mr. HUME agreed to the suggestion of the Able Lord,
but he would ask what prospect had they of the termination
of the Session.—( Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) Sup-
posing the Bill should be rejected which was now before
the other House, then it should be his (Mr. H.'s) business to
submit a call of the House, to determine what measure should be
adopted, in the event of this important measure being stopped.
If such was the case, it was quite necessary that that House,
as the great Council of the nation—( Hear, hear)—should be
summoned to deliberate.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL would have no objection to such
a motion being made if such were necessary; his (Lord John
Russell's) motion had reference merely to the ordinary business
of the House.

Mr. ROEBUCK suggested that the House should adjourn
for 6 weeks, while the farce in the other House was going
on.—( Cheers, laughter, loud cries of " Order ! " " Chair 1"
and great sensation.)
The SPEAKER rose to order, and said such an observa-
tion ought not to be made by any Hon. Member in that House.
—(" Hear," from the Opposition Benches.)
Mr. REBUCK—Certainly, coming from you, Sir, I feel
now that that observation should not have been made---( Hear
from the Opposition)—but hear what I say. Unless, Sir, you
had said so, I should not have discovered it, considering what
has becen allowed to be said in other places respecting this
House.—( Cheers from the Ministerial side.)
Lord J. RUSSELL suggested that with regard to what
was said in other places respecting this House, the House
would best preserve its dignity by not taking any notice of, or
making any observations, by way of retaliation, upon them.
Mr. SHIEL said some time ago he pressed upon the Noble
Lord to allow the House to sit on Saturdays for the disposal of
motions in arrear, and as he would not agree to that, it was rather
unreasonable now to wish orders to take precedence of motions
every day. He had several times put off motions to give way
for orders, in the hope of having future opportunities which
never arrived.

Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON complained that he had
been inconvenienced in a similar manner.
IPSWICH ELECTION.

Mr. A GLIONBY asked the Attorney-General if be had
taken any steps to prosecute the persons convicted of bribery
at the Ispwich Election ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, that in obe-
dience to the order of the House, he made it his duty
to inspect the Report of the Committee very attentively, and it
appeared to him that there was evidence to convict of
bribery some miserable wretches who had received bribes,
but whom he believed the House did not desire to prosecute.
There was also evidence against four persons, one of whom
was Mr. Ingram, convicting them of active bribery; and he
was prepared, unless the House should give him any other
orders, to file ex officio informations against the parties.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG said the real question before the
House related to the business of the House, and he entirely
concurred with the Noble Lord in his proposition of Orders
to take precedence of Motions ; but he complained that
there "seemed to be a disposition to study rapidity of
legislation instead of good legislation at the Morning
Sittings, when half the Members were absent.' The
Public Walks Bill was passed through Committee the-othee
morning, when there was a mere banditti of Members present,
in a shape that would not have been allowed had there been a
full attendance of members to attend to it.

The SPEAKER apprised the lion. Member that the Bill
was only committed pro forma, with some amendments, and
was to be read a third time on Tuesday next.

ORANGE LODGES.
Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that when the Bill for re-
gulating offences in Ireland was brought in, he should more
a clause rendering the laws affecting Corresponding Societies
applicable to Ireland, and that all secret societies, having se-
cret signals, signs, and meetings, be illegal.
