'OUSE OF CO AMONS.

-
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'Clock.
Leave was asked and granted for Committees to sit, notwith-
standing the meeting of the House.
Mr. CARDWELL moved the order of the day for going
into Committee on the
MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL.
Mr. WAWN observed that last night the House was led to
believe that the Commons Inelosure Bill would be the first
business proceeded with this day, and as many Members,
acting on this belief, had absented themselves, he urged the
Hon. Al: mber the Vice-President of the Board of Trade to
proceed with the
COMMONS INCLOSURE BILL.
Mr. CARDWELL having consented, the House resolved
into Committee on this Bill.
Clauses up to 70 inclusive having been previously discussed,
the 71st was that now commenced with. On this latter clause,
as well as on the 76, 85, 88, and 104, a desultory conver-
satio betwetn Mr. Wawn, Mr. Bouverie, Lord Lin-
coln,n and Lord Clive, but these, as well as the intermediate,
were eventually agreed to.
Clauses up to 103 were then agreed to, with some verbal
amendments.
Air. HENLEY thought that the principle of compulsory al-
lotment would be anything but beneficial to the poor. He must
enter his protest against it.
Sir. S. CRAWFORD entertained no such apprehension
with regard to the allotment system. He thought that it
would be more effectual than any proposal he had heard fur the
permanent relief of the poor.
The 104th ciause was then read.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD objected to the clause. He con-
sidered that the allotment should be altered from half an acre
to an acre.
Lord LINCOLN opposed the amendment.
The clause was allowed to stand part of the Bill.

On—thelosth clause being read,
Mr. BOUVERIE objected to this clause. He con-
sidered the warders should not be empowered to turn out
the occupants of allotments, unless upon very strong grounds.He considered that it would be quite unprecedented to confer a
power of such an arbitrary kind upon the wardens as this
clause conferred. He was quite sure that the Noble Earl never
contemplated such a thing.
The Earl of LINCOLN thought that if this clause were
struck out the Bill would be rendered completely inoperative,
and all the advantages which he anticipated from the Bill would

be prevented.
Mr. COWPER thought the wording of the clause was too
stringent.
After a desultory conversation, in which Mr. Henley, Mr.
Wortley, Mr. Cowper, and Mr. Crawford joined,
The clause was agreed to, with some amendments, agreeably
to meet the suggestions of Mr. Bouverie.
Clauses 106 and 107 were agreed to.
Clauses up to 125 were agreed to without a division.
The CHAIRMA N reported progress. and the House resumed.

The ATTORNEY. GENERAL was introduced by Lord Jerrnyn
and Mr. Forbes M'Kenzie, and took the oaths and his seat, on

RETIRING PENSION TO NAVAL OFFICERS.
Captain PECHELL wished to ask the Gallant Admiral op-
posite (Sir G. Cockburn),.whether, and when, it was intended
to bring forward the supplemental vote for retired naval offi-
cers ? They had heard it currently reported that such a thing
would take place, and he (Captain Pechell) thought it per-
fectly fair, under these circumstances, to put the question.
Sir G. COCKLIURN said that the subject was under the
consideration of her Majesty's Government, and he was not
prepared to give any other answer than that already given by
the First Lord of the Treasury the other evening. If fur-
ther information was required the Hon. and Gallant Member
had better repeat his question that evening.
COMMONS JNCLOSURE BILL.
The House again rent into Committee on this Bill, and the
remaining clauses were agreed to.
The Chairman then left, and the sitting of the House -was
suspended till five o'clock.

jects comprised in Group A stand referred, that they

. Eas ern Railway Company, and making the last men-
tined Company to exercise such powers, or some of

IRISH COLLEGES BILL.
On the motion that the Colleges (Ireland) Bill be
reed a third time,
Mr. OSBORNE proposed that an humble address be
presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be
graciously pleased to direct an inquiry to be made into
the amount of the revenues of Trinity College, Dublin,
from rents of College lands, endowments and bequests, fees
on matriculation, on taking degrees, and from every othi
source ; also in the manner in which that income is
xpt nded, the number of senior and junior fellows, of
professors, scholars, and all other officers of the college,
with the amount of salary and allowances to each of
them ; with a view to ascertain whether the income or
funds at I resent applied sob ly to the benefit of Pro-
testants in Trinity College, DubLn, might not be
beneficially extended, so as to make Roman Catholics
and Protestent Dissenters eligible, it otherwise quali-
fied, to all echelatehips, and to all such fellow hips,
profes:.orships, and other offices in Trinit) College. Dub-
lin, as are not intended for ecclesiastical purposes, or
immediately connected with ecclesiastical endowment.
He regretted that no Member of the Government had
brought fore aid this Sut,jest. How ever much he
might regret that the matter had fallen into such in-
effectual bards, he would endeavour to make amends
for his it:efficiency by the brevity with which he dis-
cussed it. lie did not think be could be
fairly charged with any desire to throw an imetdedi-
meet in the way of the proposed measure. lie had ab-
stained, lethertee iron) chterieg oe any of the details of
the measute, because, the more be considered the matter,
the greater uouid be its inability fur the purposes
proposed, unieSS a et eat al oration took place
in the constitution of Trinity College, Dubin. The
whole system of that college was unknown, much yet
remaieed to be told with regard to the economy of its
internal working. '1 here were subjects
which involved much consideration and inquiry
before any alteration in the collegiate
educ, tion was enfore, d. It would also be more prudent
to refrain teem vi)ti-g a large sum of money for a pur-
to which the Catholic heirareby Lad unanimously de-
clared would not be acceptalle to the Irish people.—
