HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNnAv.

In reply to a question from the E-rlot MALMJSBURY,
Tile Fart of it I PON Said tha! a sufficient !oree haul been
sent to New Zeal Hid to anscler 'he purposes of prot-c-
-rain Fitzroy was entrusti d w'th powers
tion; and Cap
sufficient to det,rmint questions between the settlers and
the natives.

In reply to a que-tion from Lord BEA umoNT,
The Earl Of ABERDEEN said there could be no doubt
but that British commerce was placed under disadvaniag,s
in the Levant, wig to the treaty between Buss'a and
the Suqme Porte; but, on the other hand, the ether
European powers would not accept on the same terms
the advantages conceded to Russia. Her Niajt.sty's Go-
vernment ass anxious, however, to place the commerce
of England in the Levant upon the same footing as that
of the most favoured nations.
The Ecclesiastic 1 Courts Bill was, after some discus-
Sion, read a third time and passed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnAY.

Lord ELIOT moved for leave to bring in a bill reguh,-
ting the parliamentary and municipal franchises in Ire-
land. His lordship expressed his belief that the system
of registration now established in England was a satisfac-
tory one, and he proposed to es abli-h a like system in
Ireland, with only these material differences : that the
polling. places should be appointed by the Lord-Lieute-
nant ; that the annual revision should be by the assistant-
barristers; and that the appeal from them should be to
the Court of Exchequer Chamber, seven judges being
made for this 'purpose a quorum. He proposed that the
names on the present register should be transferred to
the new one, there to remain undisturbed for the rest of
•the term for which they were then enrolled, unless when
the tenant should have parted with some portion of his
qualification. For the purpose of defining the qualifica-
tion itself with respect to counties, the bill would contain
a clause giving effect to the construction which the majo-
rity of the judges had put upon the phrase " beneficial
interest." He admitted that this definition, which was
the adoption of the solvent tenant test, would displace a
great proportion, perhaps nearly two-thirds, or about
25.000 of the 40,000 voters now registered for this kind
of franchise; and in trder to restore a sufficient consti-
tuency, he proposed to give the right of voting to every
occupier rated to the poor on an amount of £3O or up-
wards. When all deductions should have been made,
this would give about 55.000 electors instead of the 25,000
struck off, making so far, on the balance. an addition of
about 30,000 constituents. To these it was proposed to
add, yet further, those who possessed a freehold of inhe-
ritance or a leasehold, renewable for ever, of the value of
£5 a-year. These interests were intended to confer the
franchise without actual occupation by the proprietor.
With respect to the Parliamentary franchise of cities and
boroughs, the proposal of G.,vernment was, that it should
belong to every man paying poor-rate, borough-rate, and
police-tax. He trusted that this plan would he regarded
as a full redemption of the pledge contained in !he Queen's
speech, and that the new electors would consider the trust
thus conferred upon them as given, not for the benefit of
their own peculiar districts alone, but of the whole king-
dom. The noble lord then proceeded to explain the ob-
ject of the other bill, relating to the Municipal Corpora-
tions. That object was to extend to the Irish corpora-
tions the principle of the English Municipal Bill, by
giving a vote to every inhabitant who had paid certain
town rates for a residence of three years.
Mr. M. O'FERRALL expressed his apprehension that
the £3O rating clause would throw the county constitu-
encies into the hands of the landlords.

Sir R. PEEL advocated the provisions of the bill, and
hoped that honourable members would dispassionately
consider its provisions before they hastily attempted to
prejudge them.
Mr. HUME was convinced the people of Ireland would
not be satisfied with this bill, which was far from placing
them, as regarded the franchise, on an equality with
England.

Mr. M. J. O'CoNNELL said he should not oppose the
bill, but he protested against the assumption that the
addition of 30,000 voters to the count) constituency was
at all adequate to the just expectations of the people of
Ireland.

Lord ELIOT replied, and leave was given to bring in
both bills.

On the motion for the house resolving itself into a
committee of supply,
Lord J. RUSSELL asked if it was true that government
bad three times offered the appointment of Judge of the
Privy Council to a distinguished individual (Lord
Brougham) in the evert of a certain bill passing, and if
it was correct that government, after the refusal of the
individual in question, had made up its mind not to pro-
ceed with the bill?

Sir It. PEEL said if the bill, which was now referred to
a committee in the House of Lords, should come down
to that house, he would be as free and unfettered to con-
eider its provisions as the noble lord or any other hon.
member. It was proposed to the noble lord to undertake
the office, under the impression that the power rested
with the Crown, and that unless it were necessary to give
a salary there was no necessity to apply for the authority
of parliament. At that time Lord Brougham declined
the appointment, from the belief that it was not neces-
sary, and there the matter rested. The noble and learned
lord had himself now brought in a bill for the appointment
of a permanent judge of the Privy Council, and it was re-
ferred to a very competent committee.
Mr. R. YORKE said the bill was a gross job, and he
would use every form of the house to defeat it should it
ever come down to that house.
The house then went into committee, and proceeded
with the civil contingencies and miscelLineous estimates,
which occupied the remainder of the evening.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TuEsDAv.

On the motion of Sir Robert Peel the house agreed to
adjourn at its rising until Monday the 15th April.
Lotto Jour; Rossr.r.r. adverted to what he understood
was the intention of government with respect to our
naval force in the Mediterranean, which he apprehended
was about to be left at too low an amount.
Sir R. PEEL submitted that the constitutional course
was to leave the distribution of these forces to the discre-
tion of the Executive power. It was not always exc.di-
ent to communicate to parliament the reasons for that
distribution, though it hail been surmised that the noble
member for London, with a just confidence in h's own
powers, was actually "ready to take upon himself the
command of the channel fleet." (Great laughter )
LORD PALMERSTON wou'd entertain no distrust of his
noble friend in any command requiring spirit and resolu-
tion. He urged the expediency of keeping a ctn.:idea able
force in the Mediterranean between which station and
most others there were special circumstances of distinc-
tion. As to the constitutional point, he could not help
thinking that if the house had the privilege of criticismg
naval mischances after they had happened, they could not
be wrong in interposing to prevent any such mischance
beforehand.

Sir R. PEEL, in laying on the table a copy of Sir H.
Pottinger's tre tty with China, bore testimony to his great
ability and fidelity, and expres-ed the regret of the Go-
vernment that he had now, after half a century of publie
Service, determined to retire into private lite.
Lord PAt MERSTON j in this eulogium ; and said
that Sir H. Pottinger had owed his promotion to no po-
litical cause, but solely to the opinion ent, rt iined of his
merit by the late Government, who knew not even to
which party in the state he inclined to.
Mr. GLADSTON E 010 v, d tore commit tee of the whole
house to consider the law relating to pirtnerilips; his
objects being to provide for registering arid regulating
joint stock companies, for itive,t;ng them with certain
corporate privileges upon certain conditions, for improv-
ing the remedies at law and in equity, by, against, and
between, their members, and for enabling private part-
nerships to register the names of their partners, arid to
sue and be sued in the names of tiler firms.

The house having resolved itself into committee,
Mr. GLADSTONE moved resolutions authorising the
initiation of bills for effecting those objects. These re-
solutions were carried and reported forthwith.
Mr. WYSE moved for some papers connected with the
Irish Jury lists.
Mr. ELIOT opposed this motion.
Mr. SHAW objected on principle to the production of
his own judicial notes.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL contended that the House had a'
right to inquire into the conduct of any judge.
Mr. SHAW admitted this, but denied that the H use
could sit as a Court of Review upon his judicial proce,d-
ings.
Sir R. PEEL would not attempt to draw a precise line
for the jurisdiction of the House; but he apprehended
tbat in point of discretion they would scarce call for the
notes of a judge.
Mr. WYSE modified his motion by omitting some of
its requisitions, arid it was then carried.
Mr. WYSE moved also for some returns relating to the
income of the University of Dublin, and some lists of
the members of that University, distinguishing their re-
ligious persuasions.
Sir 8.. Peet. objected to any interference of the House
for either of these purposes.
Mr. WYSE withdrew his motion.
