DESIGNS COPYRIGHT BILL.
On the motion for the Order of the Day being read for
going into Committee,
Mr. M. PHILIPS said he should oppose the Order of the
Day, as it was his intention to oppose the bill to the utmost of
his power in every stage. He particularly protested against a
Bill of this kind being diteussed on a Satui day, after a week
of unexampled Pat liamentary toil and exertion.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. G. W. WOOD expressed his determination of giving
the Bill his most zealous suppoft.
Mr. M. PHILIPS then moved, there not being forty Mem-
bers present, that the House be counted.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but Sir James Graham,
with about twenty Hon. Members at his back, rushed into the
House, amidst cheers and laughter.
Mr. M. PHILIPS then moved that the Bill be committed
this day three months.
The-gallery was again cleared for a division. The House,
however, did not divide, the motion having been negatived
without a division. The House then resolved itself into Com-

NEWFOUNDLAND BILL.
On the Order of the Day being read for the House resolving
itself into a Committee on this Bill,
Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the Delegates
of the House of Assembly of Newfoundland against the Bill.
—Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed with the Votes.
On the Order of the Day being again read,
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had no desire to offer any factious
opposition to the Bill, but having only received the important
petition which he had read about ten minutes before he entered
the House, he hoped the Noble Lord would allow the Bill to
be postponed till that day week.
Lord STANLEY said, looking at the peculiar circum-
stances of the colony, and at the tact that there was at that
moment no legal authority in the island under which the duties
could be collected, he could not consent to the postponement.
The Noble Lord concluded by reading a letter from Sir John
Harvey. stating his approval of the measure.
Mr. VERNON SMITH thought that the letter of Sir J.
Harvey ought to be printed, as also the petition presented by
the Right Hon. Gentleman. He suggested that it would meet
the convenience of all parties, if the discussion on
the subject was postponed to Wednesday next. He understood
that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had consented to with-
draw his motion for the postponement of the Committee for six
weeks.

Mr. O'CONNELL expressed his willingness to withdraw
both the motions of which he had givt n notice on the subject,
if the Committee were pcstponed to Wednesday.
Mr. ESCOTT said that both the documents ought to be
prir.•ed before proceeding further with the measure.
Mr. HUME concurred in the opinion of the Hon. Gentle-
man who had just sat down.
Lord STANLEY had no objection to postpone the further
consideration of this Bill to Wednesday, provided the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman would throw no obstacle in the way of
the consideration of the gill on that occasion.

Air. O'CONNELL said his object was not to cause any delay
to the measure, but he certainly would not promise that the
principle of the Bill should not undergo discussion.
'1 he Committee was then poaponed to Wednesday next.
The Lunacy Bill was read a second time.
The Report on the Grand Jury Presentment (Ireland) Bill
was received.

The Manchester, Birmingham, and Bolton Police Bill was
read a third time and passed.
The House then adjourned at Half-past Two o'Clock to
Monday next.
