STAMPS AND ASSESSED TAXES.

Mr. P. THOMPSON brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee upon the Stamp and Assesses Taxes Act Bill. .
Mr. W. H. MILLER wished to take that opportunity of cor-
recting a misstatement he had heard, relative to the number of
stamps issued to newspapers, which he found he had much
underrated. He begged to move for a Return of the number
of stamps issued to newspapers.—Ordered.
Mr. HUTT, seeing his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wallace) in his
place, begged leave to ask him what course he meant to pur-
sue with respect to a petition he presented a few nights ago,
complaining of bribery at the late election for Hull.
Mr. WALLACE, in reply to the Hon. Gentleman, begged
leave to say that early next Session he would most certainly
move for a Select Committee to inquire into the allegations
of the petition, and he was sure it would not be refused upon
a fair statement.
POLLS AT ELECTIONS BILL.

Mr. EWA RT moved that the Lords Amendments to the
above Bill be agreed to.
Mr. PRYME trusted that more time would be given for
the consideration of these amendments—he had not yet seen
them.
Mr. E WA RT would be glad that some other course was taken
for pointing out the amendments that were made in Bills. It
would be very convenient if the clerks were ordered to draw out
these amendments. He had carefully looked them over, and
he could assure the House that there was nothing in them
affecting the principles of the Bill, and he trusted that they
would be agreed to.
Mr. DIVETT said he had also looked over these amend.
ments, and he could assure the House that there was nothing
affecting the principle of the Bill.
The amendments were then read and agreed to.
DUBLIN POLICE BILL.
On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair,
Mr. G. F. YOUNG wished to ask the Noble Lord
opposite a question. A few nights ago, upon the subject
of the Composition of the York Committee, the Noble Lord
(Russell) in referring to his (Mr. Young's) humble name, was
pleased to say that he classed him, most erroneously,
amongst his opponents, and that on four divisions out of
five he was to be found amongst the opponents of the Noble
Lord's Ministry. Assuredly, if the fact were so, it would be
no ground. of reproach ; but as it was an erroneous statement
it had been a source of pain, inconvenience and injury
to him. And as he had submitted to the Noble Lord the
best proof that he ( Lord John Russell) had been in error, he
trusted that with that frankness which always characterised a
generous mind, he would not refuse to make reparation. He
therefore wished to ask the Noble Lord whether he was
satisfied that he was in error in stating that in four
divisions out of five he was found in the adverse votes to Mi-

nisters ?
Lord J. RUSSELL—I am exceedingly glad to find that
the Hon. Gentleman reckons himself amongst the supporters
of Ministers.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. YO UNG—I wish for that, and nothing more.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I believe, that the im-
pression on my mind at the time was upon certain
recent business, viz., the amendment upon the Address,
and another, to which he should not further allude,
at the commencement of the session, and also some amend-
ments on the Corporation Bill. I had these in my hand
when I made that proposition, of four out of five. I
never meant to say that the Hon. Gentleman might
not be reckoned a supporter of the present Government.—
(Great cheering and laughter.) I believe, that looking to all
the divisions since the commencement of the Session, the
statement I made would be an erroneous one, and I hope I
shall still have to correct myself, and to say that of all the
Members who support the Government the steadiest and most
constant was the Member for Teigninouth.— (Cheers.)
Mr. YO UNG—I always vote with the Noble Lord with
great pleasure, and I never oppose him but with the greatest
regret.—( Great cheering.)
The Bill went through a Committee, and was ordered to be
brought in to-morrow.
DOMINICA RELIEF BILL.

Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report of the Committee
on this Bill, which, after a few observations from Mr.
Hots and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Was agreed
and the Bill. was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
