Lord Lysdhukst said lie wanted to call attention to a judicial appointment lately made by the noble and learned lord on tlie woolsack . It had been asked by many who Mr . Justice Blackburn was . He ( Lord Lyndhurst ) was able to answer tliat question , as he knew Mr . Justice Blackburn to be a very , learned person—and one well calculated to add a lustre to the bench . He thought tin ; noble and learned lord deserved great credit for so yood an appointment . The Lord Ciiascellob said he knew nothing whatever of Mr . Justice Blackburn except that which he had ' observed from the . gentleman practising in the court over which he lately had the honour of presiding .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE . Lord Palmekstox moved that upon every TIiiii-st day during ? the present session , Government orders of the day should liave precedence of notices of motion . He hoped there would be no objection to this motion , as it was made at a later period of the session than Vii .-s usual . ' lie also suggested that when there was not private business to occupy tho . House till half-past 4 o ' clock , tiiat public business should be proceeded with at a quarter pfst 4 o ' clock . —Agreed to .

      MR . CHARLKS OILPIS . On the motion for the adjournment of the house till Monday , Mr . Stanley called the attention of tho House to tin * statement made by Mr . Dennis at a public meeting of the electors of Northampton , that an ofter had been made to Mr . Gilpin by _ the agents of the late Government to influence his vote in Parliament ; and culled upon the Secretary of the Poor Law Hoard to communicate the letters referred to by him , with the name of the person from whom they originated , to the House . He had read an article which appeared in a local paper , to the cft'trct that the oft ' er in question waa made through the medium of n lady whom Mr . Gilpin became acquainted with at a watering place . He concluded by calling' on the hon . member f <> give up the name of the writer .

      Mr . GiM'iN said that he should have boon happy , if tho House wished it . to give full Information ns to tho contents of the two letters ho hnd received j but lie would tell him more respectfully , but , at tho same tiiue , emplintical ly , tlwt if he required him to £ lvo up tho nain « of the lender tlint he would not do so , ( Hear , hoar . ) After eoirie further conversation , the question dropped .

      Mr . Gilpin said when this subject was brought forward first , he was asked a question as to a statement which he never made , and a speech he had never made . Ho stated at tl » e timelie could not trace the letter to the agents of tho Conservative party . ( Hear , hoar . ) It was not the first time that Indies connected with a political pnrty had , without authority , exercised themselves in camnssing mom bora and constituencies , but the matter appeared to him so ridiculous flint he could not . have believed tlint any member of that House would nt » k him to give up the niuno of a lady , and lie felt surprised that a gentleman should ask a question which no gentleman could answer . Mr . Stanley rose to order , as he considered such language not Parliamentary .
