OF COMMONS,—MoNDAY.
Lord ..e. RtssELL, having moved the order of the day
for the; cl rderation of the lords' amendments on the Irish

/
muni • ~. rpOrations bill,
Mr. Co:: ::C,o_N-NELL begged to ask the noble lord if the report
was tin eat more troops had been withdrawn from Ireland.
His loi nswered that it was true. His noble friend at
the he thefl war department had been in communication
with tdriander-in-Chief of the Forces in Ireland, who
infor pi that if there was any necessity for it, he could
readily a %. More troops, and another regiment had been
sent %if its statement was followed by loud cheers from
the mg Till benches.

Lo 14- ilt:ssELL then announced, that he did not pro-
pose tA n iiiduie a ne,,v bill this -session. With respect to
the q• 4,:pl- privilege, lie did not think that it formed in
4
this ins lice 'iii objection's° important, or that it referred
to clajog4 oo,f Scl7,l.,laentially important a character as to be
neces tiflr ifalot 'pie. hill ; and they might, at all events, be
prove 4 ookiivl Mier bill. With respect to other points, he
thong 4.7ilyrt , t.:be able to come to sortie agreement as re-
garde lips gu e-ainenflments made by the other house;
while :4 lips to others of those amendments, there
migheA 016'aill some difference of opinion. 'On the whole t
he enlZ hied a stront; hope, that, before much of the next
session elapsed, they might be able to frame some measure,
by which! the anomalies and disadvantages with regard to
the existimikqiiiorations in Ireland might be done away
with. His lordship concluded by moving, that the amend-
ments be taken-into consideration that day three months.
Mnltidttait "disclaimed the entertaining any peculiar par-
tialitPol.4liis bill.- On the contrary, he was desirous of
abolisilltivall- the existing corporations in Ireland, without
adopting others in: their place, betievinc, thatit was impossi-
ble that the cities and corporations in Ireland could be well-
regulatt4 by such institutions, while party spirit existed to
the extent it did at present ; and he was the more convinced
of this, from the exhibition of party spirit at the recent elec-
tion of gilardians under the poor-law act. He had merely
waivetl:Als,own sentiments as regarded the present bill, be-
lievirolothat the leaders of the conservative party in both
housdsthul-agreed to the terms of settlement as it stood.
Mi,.`kgenstNam, said, with respect to the party spirit dis-
played in the election of poor-law guardians in Ireland, he
was primied .to show, that, while the popular party gene-
rally returned Protestants to serve as guardians, the anti-
popular part* had not returned one Catholic. He was quite
readOtttsuppose, that the conservative party in both houses,
with .rte ifr two exceptions, vere agreed to support this bill,
because thera could not be a worse bill than it was in its
present shape.
Lord MORPETII contended that the general proceedings
under the poor-law by no means justified Mr. Shaw's impu-
tation of a partisan or sectarian spirit:
After some further discussion, the motion was agreed to.
The-Poor Rates' Collection Bill was read a third time, and
passed by a majority of 37 to 18.
The report of the Birmingham Police Bill was received,
and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Tuesday.
