BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANEsaidtVather Majesty's
Government had st.tted that it was their intention to
take the Poor-law Bill immediately after the Factories
Bill. It now appeared the Right Hon. Baronet intended
to proceed with the Bank Charter Bill. The second
reading of the Poor-law Bill had been permitted to
pass sub silentio, upon the understanding that it would
be brought on early. It now appeared as if it were to
be indefinitely postponed. He wished to ask if the Go-
vernment would fix the day when the discussion on tht
Poor-law Bill was to come on?
Sir R. PEEL said that there was nothing more diffi-
cult than to fix the. precedence of important measures.
The Bank Charter Bill, involving, as it did, the mone-
tary interests of the country, was a measure of the ut •
most public importance. Ho would, however, on Thurs •
day state the precedence iu which ho intended to take

Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know when the Right
lion.. Baronet would proceed with the Ecclesiastical
Courts Bill?—(A laugh.)
Sir R. PEEL said that he should first proceed with
the Bank Charter Bill. He did not know when he should
proceed with the second clause of the Ecclesiastical
he would
state as nearly as pos-
Courts Bill?—(A laugh.)
Sir W. BARRON wished to know when the. Right
lion. Baronet would proceed with the Irish Registration
Bill ?—(Laughter.)
Sir it PEEL would endeavour hereafter to name
such a day as would be convenient. After the answers
be had given to other questions, the Lion. Baronet could
not expect that he would now name a day.
Lord J. RUSSELL asked whether he was to under-
stand that the first business on 'Monday would be the
Bank Charter Bill ?

Sir R. PEEL was understood to say that nothing was
to take precedence of the Bank Charter Bill.

GUERNSEY.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE wished to know from the Right
Hon. Baronet whether the statetrent he had seen in the
newspapers respecting the sending of troops and mili-
tary stores, and uminuniLion, was correct, and whether
it was in consequence of any local disturbances in the
island they were sent ?
Sir R. PEEL said he wished the Hon. Gentleman
would put the question to the I:Wit Hon. Gentleman the
Secretary of State for the Home Department when he
was in his place.
Mr. DUNCOMBE gave notice of putting the question
accordingly; and asked if the Right Honourable
Baronet (Sir R. Peel) had any objection to lay on the
table a copy of the judgment and commitment in the
case of •' The Queen v. O'Connell and others ?"
Sir R. PEEL said, perhaps the lion. Gentleman would
give notice of his intention to move for it.
CANADA.—MR. BARROW.
On the Order of the Day for going into Committee
do the Sugar Dutiei being moved,
Lord SANDON presented a petition from Liverpool
against any reduction of the duty.
Mr. ROEBUCK hoped the House would allow him to
take that opportunity to do justice to a gentleman, Mr.
Barrow, respecting whom be had made some observa-
tions on the debate on Canada. Lille lion. Member
spoke in so low a tone that he could not be correctly
followed.] He had received a letter from Mr. Barrow,
explaining that he was not the author of the note which
he (Mr. Roebuck) had attributed to him in the debate.
