HEAD MONEY. Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion for Wednesday next, that any Honourable Member of that House giving his assent to the payment of " Head-money," was to a deemed guilty of a gross breach of the privileges of the Commons of England.—( Cheers. ) In reply to a question of Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord J. RUSSELL, who was very imperfectly heard, was understood to say that the Registration of Voters Bill would be brought forward on Friday next, and the clauses would in the meantime be printed.  'TREVOR wished that the Durham Court of Pleas Bill should be permitted to pass through Committee proforma for the purpose of being altered. If his proposition were acceded to he should oppose no obstaHe itt thti way 8f the Rissiii Hon. Gentler:tat-I'S nefstidiit 11AWEd notice thatthe t time • next any atten.pt Was made by the Government to appropriate Wednesday to themselves he should take the sense of the House on it. Mr. TIIORNELE Y presented a petitioa on the subject of the sugar duties. Mr. AGL lONBY had charge of a Bill which brooked no delay, especially as the Assizes were close at hand. Ho meant the Murderers' Execution Bill. If, therefore, he should give way on the present occasion lie claimed the right in 'return of bringing it in at any reasonable hour of the night after twelve o'clock. Mr. WA KL Y had charge of a Bill—the Parish Vestries Bill—which was the first on a list of thirty-six orders. Ile should not be doing justice to his constituents if he gave way. If the Government concurred in this Bill and permitted it to go through a second reading, he would sit down at once ; otherwise he should not recede. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did net anticipate any extended discussion on the subject of his resolutions. Sir R. PEEL suggested that the best mode for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to adopt would be to move his resolution and have it printed, and then name a day fur its discussion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would have no hesitation in acceding to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet under ordinary circumstances, but the present was not so. If he were not allowed to explain the nature of his resolution, and the object which he proposed to accomplish by it, the great commercial interests out of doors would be thrown into confusion. If he were permitted to bring in his resolution and explain it, his object would be accomplished. If a debate were necessary it could be taken on the second reading of the Bill. It would suit him perfectly if he were enabled to state what his intentions were; and by that means he would be able to accommodate himself to the -desire of the House in regard to fixing the day on which the second reading and the discussion should be taken. But if he acceded to the Right lion. Baronet's suggestion, his object would be in nowise furthered. A day would be lost at a period when a minute was valuable; and for want of the accompanying explanation the public would be exposed to the danger of delay, and the mercantile interests to the possibility of misconstruing the resolutions. He was quite aware that nothing could prevent Hon. Members from bringing forward their respective Orders if they chose; but he hoped they would not do so, as it would throw a great difficulty in the way of the public service. Mr. WAKLEY was very sorry that he could not give way to the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the present occasion. Hon. Members near him said that if his order were to be postponed, their orders would altogether be passed over. Mr.
