HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.
THE LATE DEBATE.
Mr. FIELDEN entered into a statement, but in so low a
tone of voice that the particulars could :not be heard ; we,
however, understood the hon. member to say that, at two
o'clock on Wednesday morning, he (Mr. Fielden) moved
that the then debate on the sugar duties should be adjourned,
which motion was regularly seconded, but it was not put
from the chair. He therefore wished to know why his mo-
tion for adjournment was rejected—why it was not put from
the chair?
The SPEAKER said he certainly was of opinion that the
motion of the hon. member for Oldham was not seconded,
and therefore he did not put it from the chair. He
paused for two or three moments, and he did not see any one
rise to second the motion ; if he had, it would have been his
duty to put it from the chair. (Hear.)
Mr. WAKLEY said he rose to second the motion, but
could easily imagine, from the noise which prevailed in the
house at the time, that the right hon. gentleman did not hear
him. (Hear, hear.)
The SPEAKER repeated that he heard no seconder, and
that was the impression of honourable members who were
near him.
Mr. FIELDEN.—In consequence of the debate being over
on Wednesday morning, I had not an opportunity of speak-
ing ; but I have written my intended speech in full, and sent
it to the newspapers. (Loud laughter.) Hon. members
might laugh, but he thought a great deal of the time of that
house would be spared if members would write what they are
to say before speaking. (Laughter.) He had sent his speech
to the papers, in order that hon. members and the country
might know his sentiments on the subject. (Laughter.)
THE SUGAR DUTIES.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExeIIEQUER rose amidst the
most profound silence. The right hon. gentleman said,—l
rise, sir, to give notice that on Monday next I shall move
that the house resolve itself into a committee of ways and
means, and in that committee I shall move the usual annual
resolution for the renewal of the sugar duties. (Hear, hear,
hear, from both sides of the house, and great laughter.)
ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.
Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house at its rising do
adjourn until Monday next. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear,"
and cheering from the Treasury benches.)—Agreed to.
THE CORN-LAWS.
The Earl of DARLINGTON then rose and said, the noble
lord had not made any statement to the house in consequence
of his extraordinary defeat the other night. (Hear.) After
that remarkable division against him the noble lord and his
colleagues still continued in office with a temerity unparal-
leled in the history of the country. (Loud cries of " Hear,
hear," and " Order.") The noble earl continued : I rose
for the purpose of asking the noble lord opposite on what
day he intended to bring forward the.; question of the corn-
laws. (Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL.—On Friday, the 4th of June. (Loud
cries of Hear, hear.)
The house, which had been crowded to excess up to this
time, was in a few minutes nearly deserted. A general ex-
pectation prevailed that there would have been a ministerial
statement as to the future intentions of the Cabinet, but not
a word more than is above reported occurred.
ROYAL MARINES.
Lord G. LENNOX moved for a committee of the whole
house, to take into consideration so much of the report of the
naval and military commission as relates to the recommen-
dations relative to the royal marines.
Sir H. VIVIAN opposed the motion, which, after some dis-
cussion, was withdrawn.
Mr. MACLEAN moved for some returns, calculated to show
the operation of the Anatomy Act.
Mr. Fox MAULE objected to some of the returns, and said
that to the others he had no objection. He would, probably,
on a future evening, move for a committee on the subject.
Mr. WAKLEY said that the act was working in a most sa-
tisfactory manner, and without the recurrence of those
scenes of violation of the grave, which were formerly as nu-
merous as disgusting.
The returns, to which no objection was made, were then
ordered.
The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house
adjourned until Monday next.
