HOUSE OF LORDS.--FRIDAY.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then moved the appointment
of a committee to decide upon the accommodation that could
be provided during debates in the House of Lords for the
=embers of the corps diplomatiquc.
Lord BROUGHAM made some remarks, partly apologetic and
partly explanatory, of his own conduct on Monday evening, in
procuring the expulsion from the gallery of a distinguished
representative of a foreign court. In course of his address
the noble lord drew a distinction between the respect to be
paid to an ambassador, who represented his sovereign, and an
envoy, who represented only a minister. He complained that
his demeanour on the occasion in question had been most
grossly misrepresented in language the least incle ‘o ous he had
ever seen. - - . - . .

Earl GREY took some blame to himself for not having inter-
fered at the time, but explained his omission by the sudden-
ness with which the affair transpired. •
Lord BROUGHANI said be had- taken up to the gallery two
ladies, peeresses, and another, a
.peer's daughter, who, bein,,o•
married, had therefore lost her right to a place; and be had
only sought to obtain a seat for a viscountess, a near relation
of the noble lord the foreign secretary, whose right was unde-
niable under the order of the House.
The Marquis of BREADALBA N E said, he conceived the noble
and learned lord, in his excitement and his anxiety to accom-
modate the noble lames who could not obtain seats, might
have addressed the gentleman in question in a manner which
was not quite what might have been desired. For instance,
lad not the noble and learned lord said to him—" Now you
will come down"?—(Hear, hear.)

Lord BROUGHAM (with jreat emphasis)—No, no. Was the
noble lord present at the time?
The Marquis of BREADALBANE—NO.
Lord BROUGHAM—Then the noble lord only had it from
some one else? Was that person in the house?
The Marquis of BREADALBANE—Yes.
Lord BROUGHAM—Ana did he hear those words said?

The Marquis of BREADALBANE—It was not a member of
your lordships' house, but some one who was present.
Lord BROUGHAM—Then he misinformed the noble lord—
totally and grossly misinformed him; and the noble lord may
tell him that I say so.—(Laughter.)
The Metropolitan Interments Bill was read a third time and
passed.
The Mercantile Marine (No. 2) Bill was read a second time,
as was the Merchant Seaman's Fund Bill.

On the third reading of the Factories Bill being moved,
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said that the factory operatives ought not
to be defrauded of their rights by a quibble. Behind govern-
ment he saw men sitting who had jumped from clogs into
patent leather, and out of dung carts into carriages, and who
cared for nothing so long as they could traffic in the blood of
Vie factory children ; but surely government would not depend
for support on such persons. He then made an attack on Mr.
Bright, whom he charged with habitual oppression of his
tvorkpeople, and he drew a strongly coloured picture of the
unhappy condition of the factory labourers in general, con-
cluding by.urging government not to base its power upon those
who lived by the maintenance of such a system. He opposed
the third reading of the bill.
the gallery was cleared, but no division took place, and the
bill was read a third time and passed.
On the third reading of the County Courts Extension Bill,
Major BLAcKALL moved to add a clause, providing- that
'lrish barristers of seven years' standing should he eligible to
the office of judge under the act.
Upon a division it was n3gatived by 111 against 58.
Mr. MITCHELL moved a clause, enacting that, by leave of
the court for the district where the plaintiff resides, the sum-
mons may issue in such court.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed this alteration on the
ground that it would make this a plaintiff's bill.
Mr. FITZROY supported it for the very reason that it would
benefit the defendant.

Upon a division the clause was negatived by 90 against 55,
And the bill passed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY.

Mr. Hum E gave notice that he will move an amendment to
Mr. Roebuck's motion respecting the foreign policy of the
government, to the effect that the house, considering the diffi-
culties attending the general policy of the government, was of
opinion that, upon the whole, the course pursued by the noble
secretary for foreign affairs was calculated to promote the inte-
rests of the country, and would, therefore, continue its confi-
dence in her Majesty's government. (Cheers and laughter
from the opposition side of the house.)
Mr. G. A. HAMILTON moved as an amendment, "That an
/tumble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she
will be graciously pleased to direct that such a modification of
the systm of national education in Ireland may be made as
may remove the conscientious objections which a large propor-
tion of the clergy and laity of the Established Church entertain
to that system, as at present carried into operation ; or other-
wise that means may be taken to enable those of the clergy and
laity of the Established Church who entertain such conscien-
tious objections, to extend the blessings of scriptural education
in Ireland."

After a long debate, the gallery was cleared for a division,
and the amendment of Mr. Hamilton was negatived by a majo-
rity of 225 to 142.
The house then went into committee of supply, and some
money was taken on account of several miscellaneous esti-
mates ; after which

The house resumed, the remaining business was disposed of,
after another unavailing struggle on the part of Mr. Pusey to
have the landlord and tenant bill read a third time. The bill
was eventually postponed until Thursday.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

The magnificent royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain
Judkins, arrived here on Saturday morning before seven
o'clock, with 134 passengers. By some parties she was
expected by midnight on the previous day, and the ex-
pectation had been backed in several quarters by heavy
wagers. She has, however, effected the quickest passage
that has ever yet been made across the Atlantic, having
accomplished the whole distance from Boston, including
-the detention at Halifax, in 9 days 181 hours. She has
brought telegraphic advices from New York to the 13th
instant, and the usual despatch from Halifax to the same
date. The following letter, from our correspondent at
th 3 latter port, gives all the intelligence of interest :
" Halifax, June 13, 1850.
"The royal mail steamer Canada arrived here at half-
past nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. She arrived off
the harbour some hours previous, but a dense fog pre-
vented her from reaching her wharf at an earlier hour.
Her news was immediately transmitted to the United
States, and was published by the Associated Press on the
following morning.
" The Viceroy, from Galway, Ireland, was signalled
shortly after the arrival of the Canada, and reached her
wharf at about 6 o'clock p.m. She, as well as the Canada,
encountered head winds nearly the whole distance.
Although not built for ocean navigation, the Viceroy
has, under the circumstances, done extremely well. She
remained in port 24 hours, and sailed for New York last
evening. She accomplished the passage to this port in
10 days and 6 hours.'
The Hermann steamer.ha.s arrived at New York in 10i
days.
The steamer Atlantic arrived at New York on Sunday,
the 9th instant. She was telegraphed at two o'clock, p.m.
and arrived at her wharf late in the evening.
