MR. BARRY, LORD BROUGHAM, AND THE NEW

HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE ruse to call the attention of the
House to what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend
on Thursday last respecting the progress that was making in
the erection of the new Houses of Parliament. His Noble and
Learned Friend on Thursday last made some very severe re-
marks on the architect of the new buildings. His Noble
Friend on that occasion said, " I don't regard the as-
surance of Mr. Barry as being so much worth as
the paper on which it is written." Now that was an
accusation which nobody could sit quietly under. He did net
think that his Noble and Learned Friend was justified in making
such an accusation. He did not think that Mr. Barry had ever
given an assurance as to the time the new buildings would
be finished, although he might have given an opinion.
Again, Mr. Barry had been charged with fencing with the
House, and resisting their Lordships' wishes. To that, however,
he had given his most unqualified denial. He moreover was
charged with being foolish, short-sighted, and ignorant, fancying
he had protection out of that House, the Noble Lord adding,
" but if he thinks so, he will find himself greatly mistaken."
Ile asserts, however, that he relies on no protection, and
feels himself actuated by such an impression as had
been imputed to him. On the contrary, it was his earnest
desire to consult the opinion of the House in every respect, as
it was his intention, if possible, of making the building now in
progress fit for occupation next session.
Lord BROUGHAM remembered the time when it would
not be tolerated in either House that a man should
complain of the language used by its Members. Such
a proceeding was wholly irregular, and was not allowed
in Parliamentary usage. However, whether Mr. Barry's con-
duct were irregular or not, he would make him a present of the
concession that it was perfectly correct ; but as to any asser-
tion he had made on the promises of that gentleman, he did
not mean to retract one word. If a man before a
Committee chose to swear that by a certain period
a certain work should he completed, he must stand
by the imputation that was chosen to be put upon the breach
of such a pledge. As to its being said that the opinion was no
assurance, why everything de futuro was contingent. The
assurance was positive, specific, and understood as such.
Like a man who, having obtained small damages, comes and
asks for a new trial and then gets smaller, so having not
got much before, Mr. Barry shall not get much snore
now. As to the expression that he was the cause
of our absence frem this House the delay of business
The first plea offered was, that the building should be opened
all at once, but now the great consideration was the adorning
of the rooms. Mr. Barry considers that he should suit the
convenience of the fine arts, whereas the real object to be
suited was the somewhat coarse but necessary art of legisla-
tion. Mr. Barry was only anxious for the accommodation of
the fine arts, and he had ansingenius excuse in submitiing to
the convenience of the Commission, as Prince Albert was the
head of it. For this, it would appear, they were to be incon-
venienced in legislation.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE rose, and was
