THE MESSAGE.

Lord DEL A WAR R announced, t hat having waited upon her
Majesty relative to th;- reception of .the Address, he had to
announce that her Majesty had appointed three o'clock to-
morrow to receive it.

A message was then di,patehed to inform the Commons of
the same.

CONDEMNED SERMONS (RESUMED).
Lord WIIMINCLIFFE thankedthe Noble Lord for having
brought this matter before the House. He was quite of opinion
with the Noble Lord that a criminal like that man should be
kept as much alone, as possible—should, in fact, be kept en-
tirely to himself. He did not think that the Government
had anything to do with the matter, which rested entirely with
the City corporation.
The Marquis of NORMANBY confirmed the statement of
the Noble Lord opposite, that the Government had nothing to
do with the management of Nevtgate. When he was Home
Secretary, he had been much struck with the disgraceful
practice of exhibiting criminals of that class during different
stages of their confinement ; and he took occasion to inform
the Sheriffs that, unless they would prevent it, he shuuld feel
it his duty to call the attention of Parliament to it.—( Hear,
hear.) The Sheriffs of that time, he was happy to say, ex
pressed their willingness to co-operate with him.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE also rose to tender his
his thanks to the Noble Lord for having brought this matter
before the House. He perfectly agreed with every viord that
had fallen from every Noble Lord on the subject.
The motion was then agreed to.
SUNDAY TRAVELLING ON RAILWAYS.

Earl GALLOWAY presented a petition from the Presby-
tery of Edinburgh, praying their Lordships to pass a Bill to
put a stop to Railway travelling ou Sundays. He thought the
matter deserved the attention of her Majesty's, Government.
Lord WHARNCLIFFEthought, if they pntastop to travel-
ling upon railways on Sunday, they should put a stop to travel-
ling in any other way. The question was whether the people
were to travel at all on a Sunday, whatever might be their ne-
cessities. He knew the feeling which prevailed upon the sub-
ject in Scotland, and he must stir that he thought the Scotch
people went a great deal too far in their ideas upon this subject.
The Government was not prepared to bring in any measure
upon the sUbject.
Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that the notions on this
subject which prevailed in Scotland, were very extravagant. It
might be perhaps desirable to prevent the carrying heavy mcr-
, chandize on Sundays, but to say that you might travel by turn-
pike roads, and not by railways, was excessively absurd.
BAKERS' HOURS.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE presented a petition from
the Bakers of Newry, praying for some law Ito be passed which
should regulate their hours of labour on Sunday.

trusted that the performance of the negotiations with these
countries would increase the desire on the part of the wine-
growers of France to remonstrate against the proposed rise of
duties adverted to.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, as this question was before
the House, he would observe that the Right Hon. Gentleman
had a perfect, right to delay communications and regulations
with other Powers respecting the wine trade, according as the
interests of this country might require. It would not now be
wise for us to depart from the course which had been found
hitherto to have been pursued with so much advantage in
these matters.

Sir it. PEEL—The present Government had had a due
regard to the feelings with which these negotiations had been
entered upon by their predecessors.
POOR-LAW BILL.

Captain PECHELL said that the Poor-law Bill stood
among the motions of the day for this evening. He trusted
the Right Hon. Baronet would mention if he intended to
bting on that motion to night.
Sir J. GRAHAM said it was not his intention to bring it on.
