HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY.
The discussion on, and the resistance to, the Bank of Ire-
land bill was resumed, Mr. O'CONNELL declaring that he
would rather " die on the floor of the house" than permit
this bill to pass, so long as any of the forms of the house
would allow him to throw any impediment in the way of its
progress ; and he afterwards observed that he should be
almost ready to break that pledge to Ireland, if any man of
sense, if any honourable member, really independent and
disinterested, would declare that the billhad notbeen brought
in too late in the session, or there had been time and oppor-
tunity for the leading towns and banks of Ireland to express
their opinions on a subject that was calculated to have such
" a withering" influence on their interests.
On the question being repeated, that the house resolve into
committee on this bill, several amendments were moved and
divided upon; and Mr. O'Connell again triumphed, for the
Chancellor of the Exchequer did not even get his order of
the day read for resolving into committee on the bill. The
committee now stood for Tuesday, Mr. O'Connell having
declared that if the committee be moved before five o'clock
he should again pursue the course of moving adjournments.
The " Poddle" River Bill was read the second time,
Lord MORPETH observing that he would take that obsta-
cle out of the way of the Bank of Ireland Bill !

Mr. DILLON BROWNE instituted inquiry respecting the
claims of Sir J. M. Doyle on the Portuguese government.
Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Portuguese government ~in,i :ce,4,;.
undoubtedly had not shown any very active disposition to do .4 -..,,, tin,-:,
justice to the claimants on it. Her Majesty's government,
his lordship added, had been very unwilling to have recourse
to any other mvns than those of persuasion, to convince the
Portuguese government of the propriety of those claims ; but 4.giftlinaq
undoubtedly if they should fail in obtaining that which was .:Vikeifi- t
due, it would be for the government to consider what other 4- • :if
means it might be necessary to employ for that purpose. , &iv,
