imperial= Parliament.

On the order of the day for going into (.0,1,1:lit tee on the Ca-
nada Bill being read, _ _

Lord BitouGHast -moved that Mr. Roebuck should be heard
at the bar, which was agreed to; and Mr. Roebuck was accord-
ingly heard at great length. The speech was, in substance, a
repetition of that which he had previously addressed to the
Clouse of Commons. It produced no discussion in the house,
and the bill passed through a committee without alteration,
and almost without remark. It was ordered to be read a third
time on Thursday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY

Lord A. Conynghain took the oaths and his seat,

Mr. WAKLEY' presented a petition from the Glasgow cotton
spinners, signed by 990 persons, praying that, in consequence
of the state►nants which had been made against the association
in the public press, the house would appoint a committee to
inquire into the constitution of that association, and into all its
practices. .The petitioners stated that they did nut dread in-
quiry, and prayed the house to make the investigation as
searching as possible.

JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that he
should to-morrow, move for leave to bring in a bill to ameud the
law relating to clerical members of joint-stock companies. This
,he did in consequence of the decision which had lately taken
place in the Court of Exchequer. (Hear, hear, from the oppo-
sition benches.)
Mr. HUME wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether he intended to renew the committee, and take any mea-
sures respecting the Bankyf•England ? . .

The dki A NCEI.I.OII Of the EXCHEQUER said it was his inten-
tion, in the course of next week, to move the appointment of a
committee on joint stock banks.

On the motion of Mr. E. J. STANLEY, a new writ was issued
for the Elgin Boroughs. in the room of Sir. A. L. Hay, ap-
pointed governor of Bermuda.

Mr. FIN:LIMN begged to ask the noble lord (John Russell)
whether the committee appointed to inquire into the condition
of the haul-loon► weavers was likely to sit soon?
Lord J. RUSSELL was not aware what progress the com-
►nittee had made, or what steps they had taken with respect to
the hand-loom weavers. As the hon. member had asked him
a question, he would, perhaps allow him to ask him one in re-
turn. He wished to know whether the hon. member had given
any order for the collection of mobs, to interfere with the put-
ting into operation the poor-law act ?
. Mr. FIE.L.DEN said that as a member of the poor-law com-
mittee, he thought it his duty to send down two persons to in-
quire into the distress that existed in Lancashire, and the
state of the labouring people there. Ile had given them written
instructions, and he bad no reason to believe that they had
done anything inconsistent ►pith them. If, however, they had
done so, and that, in consequence of the steps they had adopted,
disturbances had taken place, he should be as willing as any
person that they should meet tire reward which the course they
had adopted merited.

POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. 0
On the motion of Lord J. RussEL, the order of the day for
the second reading of the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was read.
--After a-short discussion the bill was rrad a second time, and
ordered to be committed on Friday next.

PARLIAMENTARY ELECTORS AND FREEMEN.

Lord J. RussELL moved that the house resolve itself into a
a committee on the parliamentary electors and freemen bill:
Mr. 11. lIINDE said that before the bill went into that stage
he had an amendment to move, by way of instruction to the
committee. It was, that the bill should be separated, and
divided into two bills. 'the hon. member was understood to
say that the noble lord (J. Russell) bad, in connecting the two
distinct subjects of the ten-pound rate-paying householders and
the freemen, treated the latter body of men most ungraciously,
lie Cacti moved, " That it be au instruction to the committee to
divide the into two bills."

After a short discussion, the house divided, when there ap-
peared—for the committee, 158; for the amendment, 6,3; ma-
jority, 90. The house then resolved itself into a committee on
the

On clause 1 being put from the chair, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE sail
that he should propose an amendment, which was intended to
act as a most summary repeal of the rate-paying clause alto-
gether. It was to insert, in lines 16 and 17, the words " except
such as shall have become payable from him (the rate-payer)
previously to the 11th day of October in the preceding year.
Lordi. liossELL said that the hon. member proposed to ex-
tend tat franchise to those who paid no taxes—a totally different
principle from that intended by the reform bill. If he admitted
this amendment, it would go to alter the ancient spirit of the
constitution, and establish the principle that insolvency and
beggary were as sufficient qualifications for voting as inde-
pendence and industry.
A discussion ensued, in the course of which Sir E. SIIGDKN
said he was against all alterations in the reform bill, which had
worked better than he had expected it would. This he attri-
buted to the good sense of the people of England. •
On the division, the numbers were—for the motion, 206; for
the amendment, 107; majority, 99.
After one or two amendments of small importance had been
negatived or withdrawn, the bill passed through the committee,
and was ordered to be reported.
The other bills of the day being then disposed of, the house
adjourned at a quarter to twelve o'clock.
