course

SIR R. PEEL proceeded to inform the house what
'he government would pursue with respect to the
zaeasures before Parliament. He first alluded to the
Board of Trade's conuexion with railway bills, and said
that it was his intention to bring in a bill altering the
functions of that board. The board will still require the
subject of railways to be laid before them, and they will
inquire whether any public injury will be inflicted by such

The hon. Bart. then pro-
ceeded to notice the measures which the government in-
tends to adopt. He said that they intended to press on as
fast as poseible the Irish Colleges Bill, and the Poor Law
Amendwent (Scotland) Bill, which has been hitherto
postponed in order to forward other measures, for relieving
the Jews trout their civil disabilities. The hon. bart, then
alluded to the following bills, which he said must he con-
tinued, though the postponement of the considers:ion of
them would ri:ake no material difference with the public:
viz. the bills of Exchange Bill, the Turnpike Trusts
Bill, the Valuation of Lands Bill, the Criminal Lunatics
Bill, the Public Works Bill, and the Drainage Bill. It
was the intention to relinquish fur this session the
bill for regulating the law of parochial settlement.
,Lint. Stock Company's Bills, as also the Fisheried
Bill for Ireland, it is agreed to forward. There are no
fewer than eighty exceptions on votes of supply, which
ca❑ on no account be passed over ; and he hoped that
those members who had given notice of their votes would,
owing to the advanced period of the session, and the state
of public business, waive their objections, as some time
must necessarily elapse before they could enter upon the
final consideration of the Irish Colleges Bill, which he
did hope would have been disposed of that day week. The
Secretary of the Home Department wished time to rectl-

decided opposition, he had consented to post-

necessary to postpone were the Justices Clerk's Bill, the
Clerks of Petty Sessions Bill, and the Parochial Settle-
ment Bill. The Merchant's and Seaman's Bill, which
was in great favour, they hoped to have passed into a law

Theodore Bryett, stating that he was the partner of
Charles Edwards, of Totness, who had acted as solicitor
for David Phillips in bringing the action against Mr.
Parrot:, slating that he knew nothing about the proceed-

laws on the statute-book which were still unrepealed
against the Catholics.
Sir J. GRAHAM was opposed to proceeding with the
bill at present, for although he was favourable to the
principle of the bill, yet the details required the greatest
care and consideration.
After some discussion the house divided, and the bill
was defeated by a majority of 89 to 47.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY,

Mr. M AcAtmAy moved the second reading of the
Scotch Universities Bill. He regretted much to find
that the bill was to be opposed by the government, for it
was a bill bonded upon sound principle, the application
of which was called tor by the peculiar circumstances of
Scotland. This principle was precisely the same as that
upon which the Irish Colleges Bill was grounded, and he
could not understand how the government could have in-
troduced the latter, and yet oppose, as be believed it was
their intention to do, the former. In Ireland, as in
Scotland, the Established Church was composed of the
minorit

..f the people, and yet in Ireland the govern-
ment opposed the application of anything like a test—
they would not even have the test of a belief in revelation,
,nd s ill by their opposition to this bill they showed that
were prepared to maintain tests in Scotland. The
gentleman then adverted to the recent occur-
Chinch of Scotland, and contended that lat
enforcement of tests they would shut out from the
ersiiies more than one-half of the Presbyterian peo-
f Scotland. By throwing out this bill, in fact, they
I cause a rival establishment to be founded, which
diminish the number of the pupils and the re-
, of the universities; and the result would be that

s own mind for twenty.four hours together:

,t Belfast, and fin- them at Aberdeen. The
.e a ed shaken by the wind, and
coidd not command public respect even for an hour.
The riAt hon. gentleman, after srime further observa-
tions, moved the second reading of the bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM would not allow himself to be seduced
to follow the right hon. gentleman in the course of in-
vective in which be had indulged, and which he was in
