Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from the Pro-
testant Dissenters of Worcester, praying for the repeal of the
Corn-laws; also a petition from Brentford, to the same effect.
BUILDINGS REGULATION BILL.
The Marquis of NORMANBY, who, on his rising, con-
versed across the table with the Marquis of Salisbury,
moved the Order of the Day for the second reading. of
the Buildings Regulatien Bill. - It was his intention
not to _have, offer; l any observations to the House upon
submitting his motion to their Lordships. He did not
think it was necessary for, him to trouble their Lordships wi.h
any explanation of the details of the Bill, or with any advo-
cacy of its principles, because that Bill had twice been under
the serious consideration of their Lordships, and had undergone
a most searching investigation before a Committee of their
Lordships' House. On that Committee the Noble Marquis
(Salisbury), who had but that moment intimated to him (the
Marquis of Norms.nby) his intention of opposing the motion,
was a member and a constant attendant at its sittings. and upon
that Committee he (the Marquis of Salisbury) had stated
that, however much he might question the details,
of that Bill ho was not opposed to its principles. As he (the
Marquis of Normanby ) had stated, that Bill had received the
most patient attention of a Cothmittee of their Lord-
ships' House, and now, for the first. time, he heard it was to
teceive opposition: He regretted that opposition the more,
as a Noble Lord' from whom he had derived the greatest as-
sistance, was then abs;int from this country. He also had to
regret the absence of a Right Reverend Prelate from
whom he had received the most a siduous assistance.
He was anxious not only for the success of the motion
with which he intended to conclude, but he also wished
to impress upon the colleagues of the Noble Duke
who was good enough to promise him (the Marquis of Nor-
matiby) his support. in passing that Bill, how important it wss
that this Bill should pass the House. Since he had last ad-
dressed their Lordships on that subject, he had had
opportunities of making inquiries into the subject, not
only in the manufacturing country towns, but also
the various branches of the metropolis. He had
witnessed news which would harrow up the feelings of their
Lordships in the recital. Their Lordships, if they wished it,
might view those scenes themselves, and he thought the Noble
Marquis (Salisbury) in particular should witness those scenes
before he came forward to oppose a measure, the object of which
was to remedy, the wretchedness to which he had alluded.
Ile might direct their attention to many parts of this metro-
polis, but. he would only mention one. In the neighbourhood
of Whitechapel, there were hundreds an 4 thousands
of human beings congregated in dens only fit for
animals. He was informed that a great number of buildings
were in the course of erection in consequence of this Bill,
and were being hurried on for the purpose of escaping
the operations of this Bill, and this was one of the reasons why
he had thus early in the Session brought the subject before
the House.—( Hear, hear.) As he was on this subject.
he would allude to another district of the Metropolis,
but which would not come under the operations of this Bill.
He alluded to Bethnal green. In that parish there were
75,000 inhabitants, 50,000 of whom were altogether excluded
from the benefit of drainage. He had himself' examined that
district, and in one street, where the houses looked
respectable down the middle of that street, there
was a stream of pestilential filth, thus leaving the
inhabitants open to disease and wretchedness. lie
called on their Lordships to give their sanction to such a
measure as that which he introduced for the purpose of alle-
viating the unhappy condition of a large portion of the labour-
ing classes of this country.
The Marquis of SALISBURY fully agreed in the necessity
of some Bill of the kind; but he had not been acquainted
with the proposed measure until he had lately read its
details. In his opinion the Bill would tend, in a great
degree, to perpetuate the evils which it proposed to remove.
Every provision of the measure would contribute to increase
the expense of building, and would consequently render it more
difficult for the poorer classes to obtain a home at the rent
which they could afford to pay. It should be remembered that
if the inhabitants of Liverpool and other large towns lived in
&tars, that was offing to the fact that they could not obtain
more comfortable accommodation at a lower rate. lie would
propose that the Bill should be referred to a Committe up stairs.
The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his readiness to
support the Bill ; he thought it would tend to improve the con-
dition of the labouring classes.

The Marquis of NO.RAIANBY observed that the principle
of the Bill had already been discussed at length during the

Sir A. L. HAY gave notice, that on Friday, the 4th March,
he should move that the House go into Committee on the pre-

Lord JOHN MANNERS observed, that, from what he
had seen of the town of Bolton, he did not believe the dis-
tress there had been exaggerated. He had seen that distress ;,
and his earnest hope was, that whatever plan might be,
adopted would relieve the inhabitants of this country from the
distress under which they were at present labouring.
The motion as amended was then agreed to.
MIDNIGHT LEGISLATION.

AMENDMENT ON THE MINISTERIAL PLAN.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave notice that on Monday next,
before the House went into Committee on the Corn-laws, he
should move a resolution, the precise word.; of which
he could not give now, but the substance of which would be
that in any contemplated al eration of the Corn-laws, it would
be inadvisable to adopt the principle-of a sliding scale.—( Hear. )
An lioN. .111xmisEa, whose name we could not learn,' gave

Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that he should take the sense of
the House as to the propriety of the imposition of any duty
whatever on the importation of corn.
PUBLIC PARKS.
Mr. EWART wished to know whether it was
the intention of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to
throw open Richmond and Kew Parks to the public.
The Earl of LINCOLN replied that there was no in
tention of making any alterations with regard to those Parks.
LORD ASHBURTON.
Mr. M ARK PHILLIPS said that a true bill having been
found against a Nobleman (Lord Ashburton) at the Old
Bailey on Thursday
last, he should move that a copy of the
correspondence, and all papers relative to the matter, should be
laid on the table.

Mr. BROTHER lON rose, in pursuance of his motion,
that no business should be brought under the consideration of
the House, and decided, after twelve o'clock at night, unless one
hundred Members were present. It was not necessary for
him to trespass long upon the House, but his motion
was so reasonable, he did not anticipate any opposition to it;
it would be admitted that the late sittings of the House were
most injurious to the health of the Members, and inconvenient
to the public; he was quite of opinion that the present practice
was not at all beneficial ; ha was often told of the wisdom of
their ancestiors, who legislated by day-light. On looking at the
journals of the House it would be found that in 1614, an order
was made that no business should be brought on after twelvo
o'clock at noon, and he (Mr. Brotherton) was then, in 1842,
endeavouring to persuade the House that no business should be
brought on after twelve o'clock at night. He had the good
example of the United States, and common sense, reason,
and every thing else in support of his motion, therefore, he was
sure the House would adopt it.
An HON. MEMBER having seconded his motion.
Sir R. PEEL said his Hon. Friend had frequently brought
forward that motion before ; it must be quite apparent that if
it was adopted, it would be some times most inconvenient.
for instance, any one Member of the House chose, he would,
according • to that motion, at 12 o'clock at night have the
power to count the House, and, in that way, put
a stop to the progress of public business. It would certainly
lead to the utmost inconvenience. While he gave the Hon.
Gentlemen who had brought forward the motion credit for the
best intentions, he (Sir Robert Peel) was of. opinion that the
House should not give its assent.
Mr. EWA RT said there had been a feeling growing up in
that House, that their debates were protracted to later hours
than suited public convenience. Therefore, if his Honourable
Friend wished to press the measure to a division he would sup-
port it, as he knew there was an increasing impression in the
public mind that they should return to earlier hours, and con-
form to the practice of their ancestors.
Mr. BROTHERTON said that the Courts of Law com-
menced business at nine or half-past nine O'clock, and he saw
no reason why they should not do so too, and he thought no
reasonable man would deny that Parliament should not enter
upon business of importance after twelve o'clock.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when there appeared—

The motion was consequently lost.
On the motion of Mr. VILLIERS, the following returns
were agreed to :—An Account. of the Public Expenditure of
the United Kingdom in the years ending the sth day of Ja-
nuary, 1840, 1841, and
.1842 ; distinguishing the actual pay-
ments for the expenses incurred in the collection and manage-
ment of the Revenue, for the charges of the Public Debt (the
Terminable Annuities being also valued by estimate), for the
expenses of the Civil Government, the allowances to each Mem-
ber of the Royal Family, and to their Majesties the Kings of
Hanover and Belgium ; the establishment of the Lord Lieute-
nant of Ireland; the expenses of the two Houses of Parlia-
ment, and the Civil Departments ; the other Pensions on the
Consolidated Fund, on the gross Revenue and the Civil List :
—also, the Payments for the Administration of Justice, Diplo-
matic Expenses, and the. payutents on account of the sums
voted for the Army, Navy, Ordnance, and Miscellaneous Ser-
vices ;—also, Public Works, Bounties, Post-office, the Qua-
rantine and Warehousing Establi-Innents, and all other pay-
ments not coming under any of the foregoing heads: with an
Appendix, showing the several items composing each head of
the account ; distinguishing the amount paid for Retired Al-
lowances, or Half-pay.
RETIREMENT OF THE JUDGES.

Sir ROBERT P TEXAS.
P.DL said that he had promised to
n a
question, with respect to the relations ex-
istingawc r
between the State of Texas and this country.
He had now 'to say that of the three treaties—the treaty of
commerce, the treaty of debt, and the treaty referring to
slavery, two of them had not received ratification.
BOLTON—POOR-LAWS.
Dr. pow RINGTO'se to move for copies of communications
addressed from Bolton to the Horne-office, during the late re-
cess, on'the.shbject of Mr. Mott's Report.. He had to call the
attention of the House to that Report, which was laid on the
table at the close of last Session. With reference to the borough
which he had the honour to represent, it created great
astonishment and greatannotance—astonishment that any in-
dividual delegated by her
Majesty's Government to inquire
into the existing state of things in that, borough, and the
amount of disease which existed, there should have
„de-
clined to embody those facts in his Report; and
annoyance that that individual should have gone
out of his way, in order to atti ibute improper motives to gen-
tlemen of the most honourable and upright principles, gentlemen
who had engaged themselves in ascertaining the state of
misery which was existing in that borough. That officer
had made statements which he (Dr. 13owring) would be able
to disprove. The address presented to her Majesty admitted
frankly, fairly, and boldly, that the statements made upon that
(the Opposition) side of the House, as to the great extent of
misery existng throughout the country were not exaggerated,
but were fearfully true. To that declaration the Right Hon.
Baronet at theheadof her Majesty's Government, and the Right
Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Home Department, had fully
responded.—( Hear, hear.) They admitted that the distress
and misery existing in this country was of the most severe and
alarming character. He (Dr: Bowring) might go even
further if it was necessary, 'and appeal to three gentlemen of
the highest respectability who had lately visited the town
of Bolton ; he alluded to the Hcn. Members for Newark, Sand-
wich, and Canterbury, who had heard with their own ears the
tales of sorrow and of misery which existed in Bolton--( Hear
hear)—and he had no doubt that if those Gentlemen were
called upon, they would come forward and fully substantiate
these statements. He had called the attention of the House
to three cases which were of a very peculiar nature, and which
he had selected out of a muhit tide of simiiar ones placed in his
hands, he was willing to own that the -e melancholy cases had
occurred a long time ago ; and he did attach some blame to
those who had not brought these calamitous circumstances
forward when they occurred. He took the earliest of the many
which had been communicated to him, because these were the
earliest; but he would assure the House if a proper inquiry
had been made in the borough of Bolton, it would be found
that the misery endured there had not been. diminished, but
on the contrary, was considerably increased. —( Hear, hear. )
In that town there were many thousand human beings who had

did not himself take any part in the

the witnesses; and after their testimony, if he was called on to
re-state the case, he would do so in much stronger language
than he had done. Mr. llott had gone so far as to say,
that this family were in a comfortable condition, and his evi-
dence was, that he went to the unfortunate woman, who had
assured him they were receiving 9s._r a week for their support.
But she had denied to him (D • B.) that she used any
such language. The truth was, that she was in a state of

The Hon. Member, after referring to:

tress, and reao.„trig evidence pict ur-
which had occurred in Bolton, .

that notwithstanding that evidence, Mr. Mott had declared that

Lord J. RUSSELL, on rising to move for copies of letters
of the late Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland,
and the late Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench in Ireland, re-
signing their judicial offices, observed that he made the motion
in consequence of the circumstanss under which their resigna-
tion appeared to have taken place ; he said appeared to haVe
taken place, because the letters he proposed to move for might
give some colour to the transaction. He (Lord John Russell)
said that it was of importance that the House should be vigilant
in its attention to what occurred with respect to the Judges;
they were placed in a high station, they had large salaries, their
nomination was for life, and they had retiring pensions when
they were unable to perform their duties. The performance of
those duties ought to be strictly observed:by the public and Par-
liament.. Generally speaking, the Jtidges bad very little
reason to complain of the mode in which they were treated
by Parliament and the public.. When Judges were placed in
such high stations he thought it but right that they should ex-
pect such a full and entire devotion to their judicial duties, that '
nothing of a Tarty or political character should attach to them.
—( Hear.) The circumstances which had occurred, and which
were certainly, he thought, circumstances of suspicion, were,
that no Sooner was ene set of Ministers changed for another, than
two of the highest persons, the one the Chief Justice of the
'Queen's Bench in Ireland, and the other the Law President of
the Court of Session in Scotland, resigned their offirtes, and ac-
cepted their retirement. Now, such a circumstance upon the face
of it, must lead to one of two conclusions, either that those high
officers felt they were unfit to porform their duties properly,
or that they had resigned their offices into the hands of
those whom they considered their friends, in order that they
might have the opportunity of filling up thuse judicial situations.
One of these two cases appeared probable, otherwise it was
hardly likely that two such extraordinary events should have
been contemporaneous; but it might be explained by the letters
for which he moved, that, singular as the case might be, it dici
happen in September or October, 1841, that illness was the
cause of the resignation of both Judges. If the letters, or the
statement which might be made to the House, should prove
this, all suspicion would be removed. At the same time, there
were some extraordinary circumstances which it was necessary
to explain. One was, that the Chief Justice of the Queen's
Bench in Ireland had for some time been very seldom able to
Perform his duties.—( Hear, hear.) The other was, that when
the Lord President of the Court of Session in Scotland re-
signed, a near relation was appointed to the vacancy.—( Hear,
hear.) Now, really it was suspicious that these Judges
should have retained their situations until they could
deliver them to their political friends.—( Hear, hear.) But
considering the eminent station they filled, and the purity of
character they ought to maintain and the pains they ought
