Mr. HORSMAN observed that, under the present system, the House was in • state of ignorance of our foreign affairs which wee inconsistent with the principles of constitutional government, and that Mr. Fitzgerald had not resisted the motion upon constitutional grounds. Lord PALMERSTON said, he could not contour in the resolution, which tended to reverse • decision deliberately come to as to the mode in which diplomatic salaries and. pensions should be paid; and it was incumbent upon those who objected to that mode to show its inconvenience and the advantage of • change. He entreated and conjured the House not to make a change by adopt. lug this resolution, that would be attended with serious consequences in connexion with our foreign relations. Mr. KINNAIRD spoke in support of the motion. Lord J. RussELL, could not vote for the resolution. Upon a division the motion Was negatived by 142 to 114.

Sir E. HAYES referred to an official report, which showed, he said, that the representations of certain Roman Catholic priests, upon which Mr. Bagwell had relied, were without foundation. He did not object tot fair inip_iiry. Lord NAAS read various statements, contradicting and refuting the representations of the Roman Catholic clergymen. In such circumstances he did not oppose the motion for • committee, and (hoped the inquiry would elicit the truth. Mr. Roaming asked what was intended by the inquiry. Supposing the case alleged to be made out, what could general legislation do? Nothing. It was • mischief which belonged, not to Ireland, but to human nature. After some further debate the House divided, when the motion wan carried by 147 to 111. Mr. L. KING moved for leave to bring in • Bill to abolish the property qualifications of members of Parliament. He reminded the House that this measure had been rejected last session upon the second reading on a suggestion from Lord Palmerston, that he had um dertaken to bring in • general Reform Bill. As there was no prospect of such a measure this session, he thought it a fit season to introduce the Bill. Leave was given. The
