fer Ireland, if he could inforin the house when the Bill
for tkie Assimilation of NVeights and Measures in Ire-
lat.d was likely t.) he laid on the table of the house.

and markets, of which weighty and measures would foz m
a portion of that measure. The bill had been prepared,
and was now under revision, and he hoped soon to be

On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, the notices
of motions were postponed till after the order of the day
for resuming the adjourned debate on China.

CHINA.-ADJOURNED DEBATE.

The adjourded debate on this question was recurred.

Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER addressed the
house at considerable length on the legal and tech-
nical portion of the question, in the course of
which he replied to the reasoning of the
learned Attorney-General, and said that unless the Go-
vernment could show that this lotcha was an Erglish
merchant ship their c se failed entirely, for without
that no ship in China was under the protection of this
country. (liear, hear.) They must also prove that
there bad been a direct violation of the Treaty of 1842.
He contended there was nothing connected with this
lorcha or her crew that gave aclaim to British nationality.
Toe hon. and learned gentleman then referred to the
general arguments that had been relied on by the sup-
portmrs of the Government, and concluded by stating
that he should support the resolution of the hon. member
for the West Riding.

C )1. HERBERT supported the resolution.
Mr. K ENDALL, an Opposition member, supported
the Government. If the resolution passed, it would be
the cause of more bloodshed.
