THE CHOLERA AT CORK.
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the Governnient had taken,
or ordered to be taken, any steps to establish a really
practical and effective system of quarantine in
Cork harbour, as a precaution against the intro-
duction of cholera in emigrant or other vessels entering
that port. Whether it was intended to send to Cork har-
bour an old man-of-war or hulk to be used, in case of ne-
cessity, as a floating hospital for the reception of patients,
emigrants, or others afflicted with that disease. And
whether it was not the opinion of the Government that
whatever was to be done, as a means of precaution,
should be done immediately, and without a day's delay?
Sir G. GREY said he quite agreed that whatever was
done in respect to protective measures against cholera
should be done without delay. In 1865 active steps were
taken on the occasion of the cholera appearing at Alexan-
dria. He did not know what steps had been taken at
at Cork or other places at the present moment, but he
knew that at Liverpool there was an hospital for the re-
ception of cholera patients. There was a doubt whether
ships were the best hospitals that could be adopted under
the circumstances. He knew a ship named the Inconstant
had been stationed at Cork for about six years at a cost
of over .000 a year, and during the whole of that time
it was only used one day. In the event of its becoming
important that an hospital should be opened at Cork, there
was a ves-el which could be adapted to that purpose. The
municipal authorities therefore ought, if they thought the
circumstances demanded it, to put themselves in commu-
nication with the Admiralty. With respect to the ques-
tion of quarantine, the Privy Council were.considering the
terms of an order to give additional powers to the municipal
authorities to deTHal with the matter.
E OYSTER FISHERIES.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Lord J. BROWN called the attention of the house to
the present state of the public oyster fisheries of Ireland,
and to a trial at the last Spring Assizes in the county of
Sligo, where the validity of the title of an oyster licence
granted,by the Fishery Commissioners of Ireland, was for
the first time called into question, asked the Attorney-
General for Ireland whether it was the intention of the
Government to introduce a bill to carry out the "recom-
mendations" of the Royal Commissioners on Sea Coast
Fisheries, by granting titles which should be " final and
conclusive ?"

IRISH PRISONERS.
Mr. BLAKE called a.tteutton to the returns presented
relative to the treatment of prisoners confined in the gaol
of Waterford under the Habeas Co.pus Suspension Act,
and the correspondence on the subject; and moved that
it was the opinion of this house that it would be
desirable that Government should take measures to
prevent untried prisoners from trng subjected to illegal
and unnecessary restrictions, similar to those which ap-
pear to have been imposed on the political prisoners at
Waterford, from Feb. 21 to March 16.
THE NATIONAL DEBT.

In reply to Sir F. KELLY,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXOHEQUXR said that if
the contained in the resolution for the conTereleu

of the national debt was not challenged it would not be
necessary to postpone it for any length of time. He there-
fore proposed to take the resolutions on Monday to report
them on Tuesday, and then to fix a night for any general
discussion. The resolutions being allowed to pass with-
out discussion would not be taken to imply general assent.
It would be for the convenience of the house that the dis-
cussion should be taken on the bill founded on the resolu-
tions.

Mr. Sergeant ARMSTRONG rose, and was
