that there were other subjects which would occupy the ati.eil-
tion of the House. He trusted, however, that he should be
able to bring it under the consideration •of the House uext
week ; and to go on with it, morning after morning, uittil the
discussions upon it should be concluded.
Mr. HORACE TWISS protested against the considera-
tion of such a question during the morning sittings of the
House, at which it would not be possible for professional mot
to attend.

The ATTOTNEY-GENERAL, however, (as we under-
stood the Hon. and Learned Gentleman),' persevered in his-
determination.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.
Mr. C. BULLER gave notice that; On .the bringing up cf
the Report of the Municipal Corporations . Bill, he should
submit to the House a proposition disputing the right of
ex-
isting Corporations to grant leases of Corporation pro Perth
dated since the introduction of the Bill.

Mr. HOGG.

Mr. CHARLTON observed that as the Hon. Member fat:
Huddersfield was now present, the Noble Lord would, per
haps, allow him to trespass upon the attention of the House. ;.
for a few moments. It was well known that the Report of one !
of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of:'
the Municipal Corporations had not been-laid on the table of
the House. Mr. Hogg, the individual in question, finding that
differed from his brother Commissioners on the subject, sent
a Report to the Noble Secretary of State, which the Noble
Lord, howeVer, declaring that it was personal and irrelevant,
declined to receive. Now he (Mr. Charlton) had reason .to ,
think that it was neither personal nor irrelevant. On the Re-
port of the Commissioners, the so-named important MainiciOal
Corporations Bill was founded; and yet it appeared that the
opinions of two of the Commissioners (Mr. Hogg and Mr.
Wilkinson) were not in conformity with those of the ether
Commissioners. From their statements it appeared that iro'lel
of the evidence in favour of the existing Corporations had
-been ke;,t back. In his opinion, the least that the Hou-,e • ,
could do, before•they consented to a measure which was calcu.s
lated to derange social order, to invade the prerogatives of the
Crown, to violate the rights and privileges of--
The
ATTORNEY-GENERAL spoke to order. There
Itt
was no question before the House.
The SPEAKER observed that the question before the
House was to read the order'of the day for going into a Colt-
mittee on the Municipal Corporations Bill, for the purpose of
postponing it. It was not usual on such occasions to raise a
discussion on another question; and the effect of the intro-
duction of extraneous matter must be the defeat of those Hoe.
Gentlemen who bad notices on the bookp of the House.
Mr. CHARLTON said, that to remove all objections in,
point of order, he would conclude with a inotion____(Tbe7
Speaker and several Hon. Members declared that the Ha'
Member for Ludlow had no right to do 50..) Well, then, he
would merely ask if the Noble Lord bad received Mr. Hoges
' protest on the subject, and if he would lay it on the table ?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL answered, that as he had told the
House some days ago he had received a paper from Mr.,
Hogg, which that gentleman had first called a report, and
had then called a protest. Containing, as it did, only ge" `'
neral observations, be did not conceive that it was his duty to
receive it, and of course he could not lay it on the table. i •
Mr. BLACKBURNE observed, that if Mr. Hogg hat, 1
chosen to send in his reports with respect to the places which'
he had been appointed to visit, they would have been pub'
lisped in the Report of the Commissioners. - There was ne
disposition to suppress anything. If he had done that he
would have done what the other Commissioners had done,
and what it was his duty as a Commissioner to do. Mr-
Hogg had sent nothing whatever but reports respecting two
places, which reports were published in the Report of the
Commissionei s. He (Mr. Blackburne) felt himself petaonallf . '
to blame for the appointment of Mr. Hog as a Ctimrals'
sioner. He had especially recommended him to the Noble .:
Lord to whom the formation of the Commission devolved. 1
He was sorry to say that he no longer entertained the opi: 1
Ilion of Mr. Hogg, which he entertained at that period; and
he. could assure the House that that change of eipinion wet
not occasioned by Mr. llogg's thinking differently from hie' :
on this subject. ' If Mr. Hogg had sent in his repo.rts to the
Commissioners, he (Mr. Blackburne) would have taken care .i
that they should have been laid before the :Board. As the 1
head Commissioner, he had pressed Mr. Hogg to send in-Such
reports. He had so pressed Mr. Hogg until the lag- two
months; when circumstances, which he had rather .3aot:dit',ilt
had induced him to determine that he would have no 'further i
communication with that gentleman. He had bad.ndictiore
communication with hire, and he would rather resigirliiatua-
tion to-morrow than have any more communication WifliElii.
Mr. CHARLTON said that all he wished was, thatkillr'
Hogg differed from the other Commissioners, Mr. floggve-ori"
nion should be laid on the table of the House. ' ' "''"''

Mr. BL AC. KB U RNE atserred-ilTai- Mr. -Hogg's AitqNes
to send in his reports of the places which lie had lie War
pointed to visit. Now he had only sent in two suck:repbets•
He (Mr. Blackburno) should be very happy. to receive isle
Hogg's further reports, and they should be published,
his observations. But Mr. Hogg had no right to send biro
(Mr. Blackburne) a report on the general subject. Such,'
report he would not receive.
Mr. CHARLTON would say no more on the subject; but
he gave notice that on the bringing up of tho Re lon on the,
Municipal Corporations Bill, he should move tlittt the Bill
should not affect any existing COrporation against which no
act of criminality had been proved. -
The order of the day was then read, and—
On the motio;i of Lord J. RUSSELL, tile Committee crag
postponed till .Thursday next. •
NEW COLONY—SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
- -

Mr. C. VILLIERS seeing the Hon. Gentleman the
bar for Hull (Mr. Hutt) in his place, wished to ask him, as
one of the Commissioners appointed by the Crown to earl
the Act of Parliament for establishing a new colony in South
Australia into execution, whether any, and what steps had
been taken with regard to effecting the object of that com-
mission ? He asked this question at the instance of many per'
sons interested in the formation of this new colony.
Mr. HUTT was happy to give the Hon. Gentleman sues
information as it was in his power to do on this interesting
subject. As soon as the Commission was issued by the,
Crown, the gentlemen named in it directed their earnest at"--
tention to the object, with a view to carry into effect the
visions of the Act under which they were appointed. Howe-
ver easy or simple that task might appear, the Commissione
had found it surrounded with considerable difficulties. 'TheY,
had, however, overcome those difficulties, and had printed aria
circulated widely, a paper, the result of their labours, in isblietteiel
were set forth the rules and. regulations by which the new
bony of South Australia was to be governed.- By these itilS110!
and regulations the Cdinmissioners had endeavoured to 'Fit'ef-1"
vent that dispersion of persons which had been too much tlio,
case in former colonies. He was anxious to set the Commis-,
sioners right with the public on one other point. This Coal-
mission had been described out of doors as being a mere joh.
He denied this—and to show that it was no job, he begged le , •
inform the House that the gentlemen now appointed Conulo.-
sioners to carry the Act into effect, were the identical, perstO
intended to be appointed by the Government -of which the
Hight Honourable Baronet opposite (Sir R. Peel) was at the •7:
head.

Mr. MACKINNON said that as his name was connected
with the Commission in question, he was desirous of saying
one word. He felt extremely anxious to do his duty to -the
best of his power ; but it would be upon a clear and
distinct understanding that he would never receive any re-
ward or compensation whatever for any duties that he might
perform.
COUNTY OF TYRONE MEETING.

Colonel VERNER rose for the purpose of bringing for-
ward the motion of which be has given notice, respecting the
.;
case of Mr. Harpur and others, against whom informations bad
been sworn for attending a meeting called by the Lieutenant
of the county of Tyrone, at Dungannon, in December lag,
and for which they had been bound over to take their trial ,at
the next assizes. After" addressing the House for some time
in a very inaudible tone of voice, the Hon. and Gallant Mem-
ber was interrupted by
Mr. RUTH VEN, who rose and observed that there were
riot forty Membeis present.
Strangers were then -ordered to withdraw, and there not
being forty Members present, the Hcuse adjourned at a quar
ter to seven.

THE NEW. WORK EDITED BY LADY DACREe---
" We should hardly murmur at our labour," siyi the Athe"
neu:n, ". in reducing the pile of works of fiction lying before
us, did it always lead us into such pleasant company as the
Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry.' In this, as well
as in the last work of the author (" The Recollections of a
Chaperon"), we are interested without any forced contrivances
of plot or artificial brilliancy of style ; her manner is most
simple, but it is not the simplicity of a poor mind or a cold
heart, for her characters are fresh and vivid; the high-hearted
and the worldly stand distinct in her pages, and the deeds they
did (not the parts they played) are set before us with a fidelity
which makes us feel that what we are reading is no fiction, but
a chronicle of real life."
