Ordered to lie on the table.

SCOTCH BURGHS.
Lord A. HAMILTON brought up the Report of
the Committee on the Royal Scotch Burghs,which
was ordered to lie on the table.
Lord A. HAMILTON moved that the Report
should he pi inlet!.
Mr. K. DouGLas objected to the•motion. He
wished, the printing postponed till the next
Session.
Mr. KENNEDY thought it would appear most
extraordinary if the course recommended by the
Hon. Member were adopted, as it would seem to
throw discredit on the Committee. He could not
see what object the Hon. Genileman hail in view,
when he opposed the printing of the Report. He
was ot opinion it ought to be printed without
delay,
Lord A. HAMILTON, neither as an individual
nor as Chairman of the consent
to the proposed 'delay in the printing of the
Report.
Mr. Hums supported the !notion.
Mr. K I)UGLAS was about to speak, when
The SPEAKER interfered, by reminding the
Hon. Member that he could not make a second
speech on the same questton.
Lord BINNING, to give his Hon. Friend an op-
pot tunic y of expressing his sentimeuts, moved, as
an amendment, " that the House should take
the subject into consideration early in the ensuing
Session.''
Mr. K. DOUGLAS entered into a detail of the
proceedings of the Committee. lie had not ex-
pected that any Report would he made in the
present Session. Some of the witnesses had been
examined in a hurried manner ; and while the
Report stated their inability to inquire into the
allegations of the petitions, they went so tar info
the subject as to give an impression that those al-
gations were true. To send forth such a report
was to prejudge the question.
Mr. ASERCROMBY thought the course pursued
by the Hon. Gentleman was one that was perfect-
ly novel and most inconvenient, and one that
might lead to much practiCal injustice. His ar-
gument went to call on the House, in utter ig-
norance of the circumstances of the case, to throw
discredit on the proceedings of the Committee,
on the mere authority of one of its members. He
trusted the amendment would meet with rio sup-
port, as he maintained the COIIIIIIitICC had pro-

Mr. J., P. GRANT wished the Report to be
printed i h the evidence. The latter, he was
sere, would jestity the former. .
Lord BiNNtNO defended the course pursued by
hie Hon. Friend. He (Lord Ilinolog) had heard
from Members of the Committee that some of the
exeminationshaCl been hurried.--(Cites of " name,
name.")—Wheu he knew what right any Hon.
Member had to call upon hint to do so, be would
comply with the call. At present he would not
name those who were absent, but he could easily
prove that be had advanced. As he had only
brought forward his motion to give his Hon.
Friend an opportouity of being heard, he would
now withdraw the amendment.
Mr. Staccato spoke to the merits of the Com-
mittee, and the impartiality of its Cheirman.
Lord A. HAMILToN said, the Noble Lord had
grossly misrepresented the Commitee, but he
thought the House would feel that. He thought
those Members of the Committee who were pre-
sent were as competent to describe its proceed-
ing as those who were absent. It was said that
the evidence had been taken in a hurried manner;
but On this ground he would contend that no blame
attached to the Committee. •
Lord IitNNiNG, said he had been crossly misre-
sented when he was accused of grossly misrepre-
senting the Committee. Ha had merely spoke
iu vindication of hi; Honourable Friend, to
prove that other Members as well as him con-
sidered some of the examinations to have been
hurried.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the
report ordered to be printed.

PETITION FROM CORK.
Mr. C. H. HoTcrwssoN presented a petition,
sigued by upwards or 5,000 poor Manufacturers,
Tradesmen, and Labourers in the City of Cork.
At the Meeting at which this petition was voted,
several thousands of persons were assembled, yet
the greatest order had prevailed. The Chair had
been taken by a poor, but respectable man—a
working Carpenter. Some apprehensions had
been entertained that disorder would ensue, but

the peaceable and loyal demeanor of all present
bad stet iced the warmest praise. They had re-
solved to petition the House to take their grie-
vances into consideration, and if possible to afford
them relief ; and they called i►pon others to imi-
tate their example, by peaceably and.respeetfully
applying to the Legislature for the same purpose.
He hoped a petition so framed, would be received
with kindness, and that ;Ministers during the re-
cess would take the case of the petitioners into
their serious consideration.

The petition was read, and - ordered to be
printed.
