• Lord J3aouGtisAtHinoke,l for leave to 'brit* in a bill con-
nected Kith this suhiects which, however, he eventually with-

PILOIIGE.

• The Earl of RADNOR, after referring to a petition which be
had presented to the house on this subject, observed that iron
what hai passed in the other house on Thursday night, it ap-
peered that Over-indent were about to issue a commission to
ibquire into the state of the pilotage throughout Great Britain.
He, therekyre,wished to ask the noble duke whether.he expected
the commission to report in such time as would enable life
house to legislale upon the subject during the-present session?
And if not, whether the noble delre meant tb make any propo-
sititm pp the subject before the report was ready,?
he buke of WELL INC;i0;1 said the tobl6 'erarl wa-s•rnistaketi
in supposing him to have asserted that he bad power to carry
into effect auy new regulations with respect to pilots. The ob-
ject of the noble earl was to compel pilots to reside •at Folke-
stone and other ports, but it was not in the power of the govern-
ment to do any such thing. These men were taken from all
parts of the coast, and, as soon us they received their warrants,
tbey were obliged to be atiOat, in conformity with the act of
parliament by which they were now regulated. With respect
to the commission for inquiry into the state of pilotage, he
hoped their report would be made in time to enable parliament
to legislate upon the subject in the present session. It was de-
sirable that that commission should proceed with its labours as
quickly as possible; but it ought to be allowed due time for de-
hberation, in order thafthe report should be full and complete.
Government were anxious to give the subject mature considera-
tion in the course of the present session.
On. the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND the abolition of

bill having been first leidon the table) was read a second time

POOR L4W COMMISSIONEIIS.
The Marquis of CHANDOS presented a petition froth a parish
the county .of Buckingham. The pelitieneri 'stated that
some time since certain assistant-commissioners appointed
under the act had visited the parish, and had decided that it
should be united with 18 othei neighbouring parishes. the whole
to have a common district workhouse, &c. rhe inhabitants of
Stoke Poges sttongly objected,Ao this 'proposition for uniting
their parish with other parishes, ansi. they transmitted a memo-
rial to that effect .to the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment in Pehruarylast, mid they alio sent forwarded a state-
ment to the Board of Commissioners in London; showing that
such a proposition was quite 'opposed to the wishes of the
parishithiers. The petitioners stated that no attention was paid
to their memorial, and, that the other day they received a coin-
inunicatiiin from 'the Central Board, informing them that the
decision of the assistant-commissioners should be carried into
effect, 'which' went to unite their parish with 18 other parishes,
givinglethote parishes a facility of partaking in the improve-
ments that had been effected in this parish in the management
of, the poor.. It would also have the effect of establishing a
Common district workhouse at a distance from their parish, and
to which all their poor would be obliged to be removed. The.
petitioners stated that such a proposition had excited the
greatest alarm amongst the inhabitants, and especially amongst
the poor of their parish. It appeared froM the statement of the,
petitioners that there were a great many respectable gentlemen.
resident in the parish, Who all gave employment to the poor
who would work, that the greatest attention was paid to the
management of the poor there, and that on the whole the ins-
preyed systern which had been adopted in this parish had given
general satisfaction to the inhabitants. Ile (the Alarquis of
Chandus) had been that day told by the overseer, of the parish
that it was the intention of the poor law commissioners to divide
the families of the poor in allotting them to different work.;
honses, and that thus the wife would be separated froM the
husband, and the children from their:parents. if such a pro-
position as that should be'carried into effect, he (the Marquis of
Chandos) would only say that it would go to introduce a state
of things pregnant with 'the greatest danger to *the interests,
the,peace, and the well-being:of the country at large. (Hear;
hear.) He must for one protest against it.
After some observations from Major Beauelerk and :Mt:
Wilks, who recommended a revision of the -bill, the petition
Was ordered to-lie on the table. •

Petitions were presented by Sir M. S. Stewart in support of
the Scotch church' Mr. Maxwell, from the hand-loom weavers
of Glasgow, praying for relief; and Mr. -Hume, from Richard
SMith, of Litchfield, 6.miplainifig of :,sorpe informality in the
presentation of his petition against the return of the sitting
members for that city.

The petitions were laid on the table,
COUNTY OF CARLOW ELECTION PETITION... •
On the motion of Mr. Rice, the adjourned debate on this pe-
tition having been resuMed,• the right hon. gentleman re-stated
the difficulty that !fad arisen with respect to the reception oftlie
county of Carlow election petition in the Ifanaper-office, Dub-
lin. and observed, that as it appeared to be admitted that the
fault, if any, lay with the Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper,
and not with the petitioners, art opraftunitv shoukt-be -afforded
to the petitioners to lay their ease before the house. With this
view he4should move, that the debate be further adjourned to:
Monday se'nhight, -and that the Clerk of the Crown and Hana,
per in Ireland be directed to attend the house at that time.
Mr. WY NN said that •the petitioners had in all respeets cOtn.;
plied with the regtiatious of the house, and that, according to,
the statement f.,rwarded'hy •141 r. Wallmie to 'the Spealscr, the.
Clerk of the Crowu was the only person in fault.. , •

nqEE 'ELECTION PLTITION. '.
On the motion of Mr. Lefroy, the consideration of alb; peti-
tion was postponed nntirafter the'Easter recess, owing to the
intervention of the aAsizes for the county.

• THE ESTARLISHED CHURCH -(IRELAND).
On the question that the order Of the day fur thehouse to re-
solve itself into a committee of supply should be read,
Lord JouN RUSSELL took that opportunity of asking the,
right hon. bart. (Sir H. Hardiage,) when the report of the' ec-;•
elesiastical commissioners would be laid on the table? He had
stated that he would bring forward his motion after the report.
arrived, nut because be thought that document necessary to the
case he should have to state, but because he thought the house!
should he in possession of all the information which could be
obtained when the discussion took plaCe. He wished to-state
that when he brought forwaid his motion it Was his intention to
move a call of the house. • . . , • ,
Sir H. HatrtutmiL: replied that he bad no means of expedit-
ing the report, that government had expressed its readiness to
afford the commissioners every facility, and that when he was
prepared to say. when the report was likely to be'presented, he
would communicate with the 'noble bird.

An,hon, member enquired whether Sir George Cockburn, now
commander•in-chief on the Halifax station, and recently ap-
pointed a
.100 of. the admiralty, would be allowed the e►uolu-
ments of both these situations?

Lord ASHLEY could not contemplate the possibility of Sir
George Cockbutu claiming both salaries. His successor had
been appointed to the Halifax command, and he believed, gone
out. Str George was expected home every day.
OF PARLIAMENT.
An hon.-inember asked whether Sir It. SU:dikes plan 'was to
be followed in the building of the new houses of parliainent, or
whether the conpetitiOn'of other architects was to be permitted?
Lord G. SOMERSET said that the committee had at present
come ap no decision on the subject.
,couPORATION COMMISSraN.
Mr. PRYME pnt some question to the chanCellor of the ex-
chequer respecting the report of the corporation cornmisSiOners,
which could not be heard in the gallery.
Sir It. PEEL wished that hon. members would 'give him pre-
vions intimation of the questions they intended to propose--not
from any unwillingness or. his part to,ansvter them, butits order
that, having the means of obtaining information, his answers
might be as Satisfactory as possible. When he applied to the
corporation commissioners, some time since, to know at what
time their report would probably be presented, he was, if he
recollected rightly, informed that it would he ready about the
latter eud of the month of Februtity, but that it was not MIA
tended to make a partial report. The'chiefcoMmissitiner, how-
ever, was present, and could
.probably give the hon. member
some information on the subject.
Mr. BLAaKBURNE said that the report of the commissioners
was in a state of such forwardness that he had no doubt it would
be ready for presentation iu the course of next week. It was
already complete in every respect except form.
'Mr."P.litoirsosi expressed a hope that the chancellor of the
exchequer would make his financial Statement before the Ist of
-Sir'ROBERT PEISL adhered tobis folitier intention 'of making
it a feW days after the close of the financial year.
Mr. Hums under Stood that a palace had been ordeied to' be
erected at Constantineple bir the residkn.ce of our.,:alts4asiador
'to that.catitt,-which was likely to prove 'a 'great expense. 'He
wished for information on the subject.
Sir H. PEEL 'said, that as. the 'question referted to the late
governmcut, he should not wish to give an answer without due
consideration. He would, therefore, advise the hon. member
to propose his question the next time the house was going into
a committee of supply. (A laugh.)
-The order of the day was then read.
_ _ EMBASSY. TO RUSSIA.

On the motion that the Speaker leave the chair being made,
Mr. Sum rose, and said that he intended to move, as an
amendment to the motion just made, "That anlminble address
be presented to his Majesty, praying that he might be graciously
pleased to order that there be laid on the table of this house a
copy of any appointment, made within the last four months, of
an ambassador from the court of-London to St. Petersburgh,
and of the salary and emoluments- attached to such embassy.
Mr. Sheil then entered into -a review of ltussian polities-her
wars with Persia and Turkey--her treaty with the latter Power;
by which she had acquired the Cotninand of the passage ci( the
Dardanelles. He did not 'object to the appointment of an'am-
-bassador to Russia, but the individual appointed ought t s be in•-
flexibly' attached to those principles to Which- thelgreat mass of
the people of this country were•devoted—(hear,
fied to protect the commercial inteiests; and to represent, in his
'own calnr dignity, the honour of this empire (loud cries of" hear,
hear,")—and perhaps it-might also be added,- to raise his voice
in favour of neglected and unfortunate Poland. ' (II eaf,
Whether or nOt such a person had been -appointed it would'be
for his Majesty's ministers to state. Rumours had been.spfead
abroad respecting the appointment to the- Russian embassy, of
an individual of high rank in this country, and be (Mr. 81101)
for one should not be foutid to agree with those who spoke of '
that- individual' in--language personally.-disrespectful. The
learned- gentleman then read some extracts from the Tiinei gild
other newspapers commenting on this appointment, and referredl
to thennble marquis's motion in the -House of-Lords relative to
imputations thrown- on .his character by the celebrated nuilwer,
" this is too bad," which the late Lord. Liverpool was.said.to
'have'made•to the Marquis's applicatiiiii for a grant as rdtired
ambassador. In conclusion,. Mr. Shed• said: he had -purposely
confined himself to a there statement of facts -which Weia al-
ready so notorious as to render comment on them unneceisery.
There was but one, observation that he would make. lie *as
conscious of the extent of the servieeS 'Conferred on the 14sent
government by-Lord Londonderry ; but though the noble lord
might be-enalitied to 'art as an- orator at 'Hillshorotigh,'in the
count* of Down, he might not be competent to perforiiith4 part
of a diplomatist at St.- Petersburgh. ( Hear, hear.) The: hon.
and- learned'member concluded by making the motion Stated at
the comnieueement of lair speech.
Mr. Ci;TLAII FERGt:oi:'secended the motion. ' He had ho
objection to t he- aivointrni.nr of ' a personal nature; lint ha Con-
tended this country teas
-bound to maintain the' independance of
Poland, to' Which the nOble Marquis' was opposed. In AUgUst
last the noble lord in his litaee in the 'House of Lords expi.essed
himself to the folloWineetfeet;—" RuSsia was perfectly justified
in taking her own line with regard to Turkey, after we had con-
