( Continued our page . ) whvhe « ho had voted in favour of a similar measure in 1 S 35 , refused to vote in favour oi thismeasure In 2 _SiS ? _" he " replied _, that each case must be judged by _irsewn circumsianeis , and that it was no justificati _ve to say that because a peculiar course had been pursued at one time it onght therefore to be pursued at another- In the year 1819 several new and rmeci-- stimtional acts were brought in by the Government _<« f that dsy for the purpose of putting down demo raticnl outrages . These outrages were repeated during the period of his administration . He did not , ho _^ -r / _i _** , renew those unconstitutional measures , but called u ; - _- « n Parliament for a larger military aud _con-Etabslary force , and succeeded in repressing them _ _„
without applying for any extraordinary powers . The same c » _arse was subsequently pursued by Sir It . Peel _und-vi-slid more trying circumstances , and was pursued _, he was happy to say , with the same success . Again , ia the yea ** 1833 , an Irish Coercion Bill waa _kuo-Iue-.-d into Parliament more harsh and oppressive fcv _* _-n than the present . Ia 1 S 34 , it was mitigated , _ai , d again in 1 S 35 , it was still further mitigated _, until it met with the support of nearly every party in the house . He must , however , remind those irho then heard him . that in 1833 , when Lord Althorpe- introduced his measure of severity , * he proposed _sureral measnres for the improvement and conciliaiivi * of Ireland , aud that in 1835 , when it was " renewed , full confidence was placed by the people of Ireland ia the "Whig Administration that it would
not abase the power so entrusted to it . From 1 S 33 to 1 S _10 the act was in existence , bnt not in operation ; awl in 1840 the Whig Government determined to lei It expire . He then proceeded to show that all the moral effect of this bill in repressing disorder had "been lost by the delay which had occurred in for--nardm _? it through _Parliament ; aud to oppose it , on the _grbsni that there were not in the state of crime in _Iri- iand sufficient reasons for a measure so severe : that its provisions , whilst they were harsh towards the _iaUvCeiit , were ineffective in pointing out the _crinuusl , and that they were not accompanied by such measures of remedy , and conciliation as ought to accompany any measure of restriction . He had _xneiitic-aed on a former occasion tbat he intended to offer to the clause shutting up men in their cottages
_fenasaijceitt'jsunrise the strongest opposition , aud that he should propose its omission in committee . He sbeaiu not hare refused his consent to this bill , if he had deemed it necessary , on the ground stated by Lord G . Bentinck , that he had no confidence in the Government . Politically _speaking , he had no confidence iu the Government ; and he was justified in haviiig no confidence in it , by the measures which Ministers had introduced even during the present year . Tiiose measures were a practical testimony tl * --the Government now in power had been mistauin , and thatthe Government which it had __ supplanted was in the right . He called the attention of the house to the fact , that , slandered as the late Ministers had been , not by Sir ft . Peel , bnt by some of his tolkagues , for their scheme of religious
education , for tlieir wish to unite the Protestant and Roman CaUioiic nepalation in the bonds of love and amity , ami for theirrelaxation of the protection laws , they had been followed , on all these measures—nay more , _iiinisters boasted that on education and on the corn _Ltws they had gone further even than their "Whig -masters . Giving them every credit for having acted on honourable motives , thinking thut their present course was a wise and proper course , he did expect that some expression of regret would have fallen from them , that the late Ministers should have been so _lang-the mark of slander and calumny . Sir J , Graham had accused them of being pirates who set fire to the ship as they left it . It now appeared that-having got possession of the ship , the present "Ministers had lived on tbe stores which their
predecessors had left behind , had guided themselves by the charts which they had left in the cabin , and -had steered by the compass which they had left on the deck ; and having done all this , it would not have been too much to have expressed some regret that the "Whig Ministers had been so slandered . He had felt those slanders deeply , and if he had received satisfaction from seeing measures founded on such principles succeed in Parliament , still he should have received more , had his opponents had the justice to confess that he and his colleagues had not _deseiffed those invectives by which tliey had been assailed , because they had been earlier than the Government what was "best for the country . The noble Lord , then adverted to some ofthe arguments ef Mr . Colquhoun , he said the honourable member for Newcastle , in alluding to me to-night ,
spoke of measures—I forget what his p hrase was , not dangerous innovation , but some equivalent of tbat sort ; which , he said , I was very apt to promote . Now , 1 will tell that hon . gentleman I thiuk he is totally mistaken with respect to the character of the measures which tend to preserve ail the institutions of this country . I answer him in the memorable words of Mr . Burke , tbat the best reform is that "which is most timely ; that the denial of all reform is not the most effectual mode by which to preseive ancient institutions . I have always thought that if the claims to representation which Manchester , Leeds , and Bnnsingnam possessed , had been in due time _faiily considered we should not in the year 1830 have had so much difficulty to contend against—we should not then have exposed Bristol to plunder , or have seen _Nottingham Castle in flames . Would it not have been—to use the modem phrase—more
conservative to have made early and wise concessions to the just demands of the people ? and will it not be more conservative , instead of carrying further this "Bill , to place before the attention of the House the real grievances of Ireland . And let me tell you that those grievances are more social than otherwise . I say that in the list of Irish grievances we should give to social grievances the most prominent place . We should , I think , direct our attention to the means of _Increasing the quantity of land cultivated—we should cultivate wastes , and enable the poor to reside on ihem . You will not prevent outrage by resorting to remedial and conciliatory measures , such measures at such a time will lose half their practical and all their moral force . It is not always the most conservative course to resort only to coercion , and to put by reform . His Lordship proceeded to address himself to those pentlemen , who from the regard which they felt for the Government , owing to its liberal
commercial feeling , were going to vote for a measure which in their consciences they disapproved . If the house passed this bill under the notion that a case was made out fer it , and that it would tend to the security of fife and property , they would be acquitted by their consciences ; but he implored those who had no confidence in the bill itself , and _thought it a bad and _unceustitutional measure , and only to be supported because it was accompanied by other measures for the benefit of England , to consider what an argument they would be giving by their condu' _-t , not only to those who sought repeal , but to those who went much further . He therefore called on tbe members , if tbey thought this measure right , to pass the second reading of it and to go into committee ; but if they thought it wrong , to reject it altogether ; for any trifling wish it would produce a los ? of confidence , which would not be reproduced in one or even in five years , but would be an irrecoverable loss now and for ever .
Mr . D'IsitAEiJ said , that at any time he should be loth _tft pais a coercion Bill for Ireland * , but there were now circumstances which rendered bim more loth than ever to pass such a measure . After going thro'gb a scries of memoranda , which he called the Statistics of snuffling , for the purpose of proving tbat there was nothing to justify tbe fact , that at the end of Ja . ' : c Ministers were proposing tlie second reading of a _measure which they had announced un the 22 nd . of January , he declined to enter into the merits of the bill itseif . That wa 3 a task wholly unnecessary _, especially as the remedy provided in this bill had no application t <> the long and authentic list of outrages -with which Ministers had favoured the house . Thc paternal Government had also laid claim to an amazing growing gratitude in Ireland for the _introduction
of lud ' i & n meal ; but strange to say , the newspapers of the day contained accounts of wars against this much-boasted Indian food . He then replied t <> the imputations and allegations made by tlie Premier in answer to Lord G . Bcntinck's charges . The right hon . gentleman had accused the noble _member for Lynn with inconsistency in voting on the Factory Bill and this Bill . The noble lord had , however , violated no confidence , betrayed no trust . It could not be said of him tbat he got into Parliament by pretending to have a different ( _iiiinion on the Factory or any other question than those which had been recorded in
his votes , _ile had practised no duplicity by opposing _candidates at the hustings , by promising tu support a man thai he was determined to oppose . But the charae _against the right hon . baronet was that he had " g ot into power by professing opinious the very reverse of those which he nowproposed . The charge against him was that he struck at the root of the Parliamentary constitution of England . It was not a qharrel between individual Members of Parliament , bnt a great national _contestfortbe principle that the position of public men should be intelligible and that there should be a distinct Opposition as well as a powerful government . The right hon . baronet

had finished his speech on Friday night last by _exclairojn " , in high flown language , that lt was the grossest calumny ever _dictated by a vindictiveimagination to ins inuate that he bad desired to settle this Question'without the interference or . Lord John Russell . But how , asked Mr . D'lsraeli , happened it that tlie right honourable baronet had , by his own confession , endeavoured to induce his _government to carry this measure several weeks before he thought of resigning in favour of the noble member for London ? That question had been asked before , and it bad been answered by the charge of ' * bandying personalities . " The right hon . baronet had accused Lord . G . Bentinck of using language too licentious for legitimate debate . Mr . D'lsraeli proceeded to quote , from the speeches of Mr . Fox
and other celebrated statesmen , _expressions even stronger than those used by : Lord George . But these , exclaimed the honourable member ,, are mealy-mouthed times , and cannot endure the words spoken in the days of the great Parliamentary giants ; nevertheless , the Secretary-at-War might study Mr . . Fox ' s speeches without any injury to Mr . S . Herbert's masculine style of eloquence . Lord George Bentinck , however , spoke from his heart , and that sort of speech was in general preferable to the pompous plausibility , the damnable iteration , tlie cold common-place of modern oratory . Mr . D'lsraeli next referred to Sir "Robert Peel ' s denial of the charge brought against him of having changed his opinion in 1825 on the question of Catholic Emancipation . The hon .
member pronounced the speech made by the Premier in 1829 , as reported in Hansard aiid . also as reported in the Mrror of Parliament , and proved that the former had been corrected by Sir R . Peel himself—the admission in question being carefully left out , while the latter contained the words actually spoken , viz ., " I said to Lord Liverpool , in 1825 , that the time had come when something with respect to the Roman Catholics ought , in my opinion , to be done . " This report ofthe Mirror of Parliament Mr . D'lsraeli corroborated by the report of the daily journals , and by other testimony , and then the hou . member exclaimed , " You see , there were two different speeches , one for the hour and the other for posterity . ' [ The Post says Mr . D ' Israeli ' s elucidation of tbis no longer mysterious transaction was _complete , and as
he untolded proof after proof of the Premier ' s duplicity , and wound up by showing that three days after he had obtained bis oft-vaunted character for candour from Mr . Canning , he commenced hunting him to death , the cheers of the house testified to the triumph of theorator , and the utter overthrow of the Minister . " ] He theu disposed ofthe accusation that Lord George Bentinck had called Sir Robert Peel his "Right Hon . Friend , " by remarking that but a little while ago nearly three hundred honourable members in the house addressed him in the same Parliamentary phrase ; and Lord George had , in fact , as little , perhaps less , personal intimacy with tbe Premier asany man in the house . The hon . member thus concluded , what was really one of the most effectivespeeches he has over delivered : —Sir , I think 1 have
answered the elaborate attack of the right , hon . gentleman on the noble lord —( _cheersj- _^ his attack on my noble friend's consistency , his attack on his Parliamentary language , his attack upon the imputation my noble friend made upon him as to the conduct of the right hon . gentleman to Mr . Canning . But I trust I have done more than vindicate my noble friend . I trust 1 have put in its true and intelligible light that _niysteriousfpassagefwhich has so Jong perplexed the politicians of Europe , and which the right hon . gentleman on Friday-night so elaborately explained for the benefit of the rising generation . I am not surprised , that , closely connected with Mr . Canning as he was . my noble friend should have expressed himself as he did . The feeling to which he gave utterance is shared by all who have had any
intercourse with Mr . Canning . I never saw Mr . Canning but once , when I bad no expectation of being a member of this bouse , but I can recollect it but as yesterday when I listened to the last accents—I may say the dying words of that illustrious statesman . 1 I can recollect the flash—the _lightning flash—of that eye , and the power of that imperial brow ? But , Sir , when shall wc see another Mr . CanniDg—a man who , ruled this house as a man rules a high bred steed , as Alexander ruled Bucephalus ( alaugh ) , of whom it was said that horse and man were alike proud . I thank that hon . gentleman for his laugh . The pulse of tbe national heart does not beat as high as once it did . I know the temper of this house is not as spirited and brave as it was , nor am I surprised when tiie vulture rules where once the eagle reigned . ( Loud cheers . ) The right hon . gentleman once said that Ireland was bis great difficulty . I ask the right hon . gentleman why Ireland was his great difficulty , and whether , if he had acted with frankness to Mr . Canning in
reference to his communication with Lord Liverpool in 1 S 25 , Ireland would have been his great difficulty ? ( Cheers . ) " This the right hon . gentleman must feel at the present moment , when wo are about again to divide on an Irish question—a division which may bf fatal to the endurance of his power—he must feci that it is a Nemesis tbat dictates this vote and regulates this decision , and that is about to stamp with its zeal the catastrophe ef a sinister career . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Sir R . Peel asked the house to suspend its judgment till he had a legitimate opportunity to reply to the bitter personal attack which had just been made upon him . He declared upon his honour that he had never stated to Lord Liverpool in 1825 , that he had changed his opinion on the Catholic question . If he had done so , that change of opinion would soon have been made known to Mr , Canning , from the intimate terms on which he and Lord Liverpool lived together .
On the motion of Mr . C . Powell , the debate was again adjourned : The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned at a quarter to 2 o ' clock .
HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday , Jtjnb 16 . The House met at Five o ' clock-On the motion of Lord _Lvitelton , a Bill for the Suppression ofthe Office of Superintendent of Convicts was read a second time .
VISCOUNT HARDING * , AND LORD GOUGE'S ANNUITIES BILL . The Earl of Ripon said , that he would postpone the committee on these Bills , whichstood for to-day . He would , on another occasion , mention the day next week _, which he would fix for the committee . The Duke of Richmond said , that he honed the noble Earl would state the course which the Government intended to pursue . He wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to rescind the decision of the committee . ( Hear , hear . ) Tlie Earl of Ripon would give no information , further than that the Government did not consider themselves precluded from taking any steps which the forms of ihe House would permit to have that decision reversed ..
THE CORN IMPORTATION BILL . Earl Staxhope presented a petition from the working classes of Birmingham , agreed to at a public meeting in that town , in whieh they stated that they objected _mo-t solemnly to the passing of any measures affecting the labour of thecountry , without first consulting the judgment of the people upon them . ( Hear , hear . ) He wished to put a question to his Noble Friend the President of the Board of Control . He was anxious to learn from his Noble Friend whether he expected that the effect of their Corn Bill would be to raise the prices of corn , to leave them where they were , or to depress them _t The Earl of Ripon declined to prophesy . The Earl Stanhope then desired to be informed what thc intention ot" the Government was in framing this measure—whether to lower , to enhance , or to leave unaffected the prices of grain . The _Earl-of Ripon refused to answer .
The Earl Stanhope remarked that it was apparent the Government had brought forward the measure without any knowledge of its operation ; and that the country would understand the suspicious silence of the Noble President of the Board of Control . The Earl of Ripon ( with some warmth ) observed , that he objected to the Noble Earl using such words as " suspicious silence . " ( Hear . ) What right had the Noble Earl to term their silence " suspicious V He ( Lord Ripon ) acted from a sense , of his duty , and he would not " . submit to imputations of this kind . ( Hear . ) A disorderly and somewhat warm discussion followed , which was at length terminated by tbeir Lordiliips going into Committee . On the 1 st clause .
Tbe Earl of Wicklow moved an amendment , to the effect that after the 1 st of February , 1849 , there Bli' . _uld be a fixed duty of 5 s . on all foreign wheat not tlie produce of our colonies , instead of ls . duty proposed by tbe Hill . Tlio Noble Earl said that should this proposition regarding wheat be adopted , he would then move proportionate duties applicable to other descriptions of grain , lie could not see how Noble Lords opposite eould avoid voting for this fixed duty , unless they had the ambition to imitate the Government by changing their former opinions . As to himself , he knew tbe effect of his amendment , if carried , would be to defeat the Bill for the present , which he desired to do , in order to get a better one . He did not want any sliding-scale—he did not _thinkasliditig-scalu applicable to the circumstances of this country—but he was anxious to set this vexatious
question at _restj . and he was convinced that it was impossible tu do so by this present bill . Those who expected that , were , in his opinion , as ignorant of the state of feeling in the agricultural population as they were _ignorant of what was passing in another hemisphere —( Hear , hear , and cheers )—and he believed , that if they succumbed to thc power of the Anti-Corn Law . League , the agitation which that body had excited would he but a slight whisper , in comparison with the roaring tempest which , they were raising about tbeir cars , ( "Hear , " and laughter . ) The agricultural population of this country were far too proud and independent to suffer themselves to be trodden upon in this manner ; they would be ready enough to sacrifice their own interests , if others were called upon to make the same sacrifice ; but when they saw a new principle applied to them , and to them alone , they would never be satisfied with it .
( Continued From Our 1st Page.) Whvhe «H...
The Marquis bf Claniucarde said , thathe _wished to say a few words , as on this particular question , an appeal had been directly made to Noble Lords oil that side of the Ilouse ; and as he was old-fashioned enough to desire to be consistent , he would show to their lordships , that in supporting thismeasure he was acting in perfect consistency with liis former conduct . In 1841 , he had seconded the address to the Throne , moved by Lord Spencer , aiid -on that occasion they had both stated it to be desirable in their opinion , that protection to agriculture should be reduced as speedily , though as safely as possible . His opinions had undergone no change , for the Nob'e Earl who had moved this Bill , and also the
amendment to the Address , on the occasion to which be had referred , drew particular attention to their remarks , and had said that their object clearly was free trade . The Noble Lord conc luded by stating , that however much Noble Lords should accuse Sir Robert Peel of inconsistency in regard to the manner in which he had acted in reference to this matter ofthe Corn Laws , no one could deny that the alterations proposed would bo for thc benefit ofthe country . There might be some ground for a charge of inconsistency in regard to the manner in which the right hon . gentleman ( Sir Robert Peel ) had acted , but so far as the measure he had introduced to the House was concerned , there eould be no doubt but that they were for the benefit of the country .
Lord Carnarvon supported the amendment .. In doing so he endeavoured to get over the idea that the rate of wages was dependant on the price of food . The subjeet had been so much investigated and discussed , that he thought it unnecessary to go into it at any length . He denied that the repeal of the corn Jaws ' would benefit the labouring classes and argued that it would have the effect of throwing land out of employment , and rendering the condition of the poor man worse than it was at present . Such an alteration as tbat proposed by the Bill now before the House , _° wouId therefore be fraught with _great disadvantage to the country . The labourer would suffer by it , for as he held that it would affect his wages , of course his income wonld be less , and he would be the less able to maintain his family . _LordDs Maulkt _suDnorted the amendment .
Lord _Cloncubbv said it was stated that the corn laws were an advantage .. to Ireland , and that they should therefore maintain them . Ireland was a part ofthe empire , and enjoyed bo advantage but in common with Yorkshire or any other part of England . The Irish were in favour of this measure , because they theught they would derive benefit from free trade . The Earl of Winchilsea said he would rote for the amendment , in the hope of getting a better Bill than that now proposed , through an appeal to the country . It was an unconstitutional course to
pledge a Parliament of three years hence upon a measure of public principle . If the country should change their opinions upon this subject , in what position would they he placed ? He did not blame the Government for a change of opinion , for if he saw reason to alter his views from conviction , he would throw consistency to the winds . Although they had a right to change their opinions , they were bound not to act upon that change without an appeal to the people . Thoy might depend upon it the question would not remain where it was , but would be contested still further in the country .
Earl Fitzwilliam and Lord Polwarth rose at the same time , but the former gave way . Lord Polwarth said it was true that farms in the Roxburgh districts were let at an increase of rent , but that was in the . year 1844 , and not in 1840 . This increase of rent did not arise from any confidence in the proposed alteration in the law ; but from ether causes altogether irrespective of the question . He did not think there would be any great diminution in the value of land ; but thut the Bill would causta great displacement of labour . lie would ask them was it desirable that theagriculturallabourerssliould be driven into the manufacturing towns , especially when the town population was known to be in great distress .
h arl Fitzwilliam said these protection laws had been injurious te the agricultural interest by ex _itiiig expectations of advantage , which it was not in thc power of Parliament to realise for thera , This had been proved not only by the experience of their effects , but by the admission of noble lords opposite . It was said that they ought to appeal to the sense oi the people , but such an appeal would be in this case an appeal to their passions . ' He considered it an advantage to discuss the measure when an immediate dissolution of Parliament was not contemplated . He did not , however , approve of the conduct of the government in driving them into a corner and not affording that house an opportunity of expressing an opinicn upon it . They might have done so , and it was peculiarly tlieir duty to have done so ,
considering thc manner in which they had come into power . ( Hear , hear . ) But through the course they had adopted they had deceived every one who had reposed any confidence in them . ( Protectionist cheer .- * . J If it were right to do what they proposed to do at this lime , it must have been right in 1833 and in 1839 , when he made an analogous motion , and when he was not supported by any one of their lordships _. Now that he saw the measure within reach , however , and that within another week it would become the law of the land , he would freely admit his belief that it would do more good to the working classes oi this country than any other measure which had been brought forward of late years . In utter contradictions to the opinions expressed by his noble friend at the table ( Earl Stanhope ) it would produce
them more comforts , and increase thc demand for manufactures beyond the utmost extent of their _concepts- _"" _" _i-cli being his conscientious conviction as to its possible effect , he should give the bill his support at this stage of its progress . ( Hear . ) Lord Brougham said it appeared to him from the speech ofthe noble earl who spoke last , and from thc speeches of the noble lords who bad addressed their lordships to the same effect , that the Ministry had offered a most serious insult to Parliament , by introducing the measure by way of bill , and not by way of resolution , to which their lordships should have been a party . The effect of that course was alleged to be their lordships being driven into a corner .
Driven into a corner they might indeed be said to be in point of fact , but politically speaking , he was at a loss to understand how the expression could apply . As to the effect of this measure on the value uf land , he had received two letters , one of them stating that a sale by auction took place yesterday , at _Gangway ' s , at which an estate in Essex was sold . It was a farm of 200 acres , in a wretchedly bad state of cultivation , situated at a distance of five miles from the place at which the letter was written . __ It was sold , at 30 years purchase , for £ 6 , 500 , notwithstanding the great alarm which was said to prevail throughout the country at the passing of the bill . The purchaser also took the bargain at 2 | per cent , against him . . The other letter said an estate had heen sold on the
evening when it was written , at a price so extraordinary that the auctioneer confessed he was almost a convert to Free Trade . Thc amount of purchase money so far exceeded his expectations , that it was double that which it would have fetched two or three years ago . To make the result still more prominent , the estate was situated ' in the neighbourhood of the Bentinck estates , and though it consisted of marsh andlowland . it fetched from . £ 50 to £ 90 . an acre _, ( llear , hear . ) The noble and learned lord occupied their Lordships' time for a full hour with a variety of extraneous topics , and particularly impressed- on their Lordships his assurance that the government would not be changed after all .
Lord Stanley said that the mode in which this measure had been brought before the houso was a most unusual one ; and he declared , the sending up ofa hill involving such vast political considerations , whieh their Lordships could not alter , on the plea of its heing a Money Bill , to be an infringement ofthe rights of Parliament , and of the Constitution itself . Such a measure should have been proposed by resolution , according to precedent and to the forms of the Constitution . With respect to a coalition between opposite parties , hinted at by Lord Brougham , ' Lord Stanley repudiated and denied the existence of any such , so far as he or his friends were concerned . But he agreed with two remarks made by Lord Fitzwilliam , that it would he to a most extraordinary and fortuitous combination of parties that
this bill owed its chance of passing into law ; and thatthe Government dared not * go to the country upon it . A taunt had been thrown out that if the Protectionists really anticipated a change of Ministry , they would have obstructed and delayed the progress of this bill ; his ( Lord Stanley ' s ) answer to that taunt was , that he and his friends were abovo such tactics . They would submit to thoir Lordships decision , without being influenced by any consider * - tion whether or not a twenty-four hours' delay might embarrass the Government on the Sugar Duties or the Irish Coercion Bill , or whether it might give a better chance to Noble Lords now sitting on the opposite benches . An appeal to the
country , whenever it could be made , would be tin : only tactics the Protectionists could use . Lord Stanley concludedjby stating that had he but chosen between a sliding scale and a lixed duty , he would unhesitatingly vote for a sliding-scale as a measure of Protection , but he _preferred a fixed duty to no protection at all ; and for the sake of Canada and of Ireland , to which it would be a real protection as far as it went , he would support thc amendment . The Marquis of Lansdowne opposed the amendment , though favourable to a small fixed duty for revenue . Ile entered into , some explanations relative to the late meeting at Lord John Russell's house , to arrange about the opposition to be given to the Irish Coercion Bill .
Lord Brougham in . a second speech , whieh he insisted , in opposition to the wish of the house , on making , made the curious announcement , whicli ho called on Cabinet , Ministers present to vouch , viz ., that shortly after the present Government came into power , Ue ( Lord Brougham ) had heen offered "high and brilliant ollice , " and that he had refused it . Their Lordships divided on Lord Wiciaow ' s amendment . Contents 107 Non-contents 140 Majority for the Government —33

HOUSE OF COMMONS . The Speaker took the chair at Four o ' clock . GLASGOW , DUMFRIES , AND CARLISLE RAILWAY . On the motion for tlte further consideration of the report on the Glasgow , Dumfries , and Carlisle Railway Bill . A discussion ensued which occupied several hours , two of which were passed with closed doors , in order , we believe , that the public should not be informed Of tbo charges bandied to and fro of " personal pecuniary interest . " Thc bill was thrown out by a majority of two , but Mr . Hume objected that Mr . P . M . Stuart had a pecuniary interest in tbe opposing line , and moved that his vote he disallowed in tucdivisiou . There were , for Mr . Hume ' s motion , 114 , and against it 118 ; it was lost by a majority of 4 . Hereupon a long squabble ensued , the termination of which was an adjournment .
THE GAUGE QUESTION . Sir George Clerk next moved the adoption of a recommendation contained in the minute of the Board of Trade of the 6 th of June , 1846 , on report of Commissioners for inquiring into the Gauge of Railways : — " 1 . That no line shall hereafter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gau ge excepting lines to the south of tbe existing line from - London to Bristol , and excepting small branches of a few miles in length , in immediate connexion with the Great Western Railway ; bnt that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by Parliament , unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill , setting f ' _. rth the reasons which have led tbe Committee to advise thatsuch line should be formed on any other than the ( bur t ' eet eight and a half incb gauge .
* ' 2 . That , unless by the consent ofthe Legislature , it shall not be permitted to the Directors ot * any Railway Company to alter the gauge of such railway . " 3 . That , in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts , and to the port of Bristol , any suitable measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol , and also from Oxford to Basingstoke , or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-western Railway . " 4 . That the South Wales line , and its branches to Monmouth and Hereford , should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge , as sanctioned by their Act .
' ¦ 5 . That the Rugby and Oxford line , and the Oxford , Worcester , and Wolverhampton line , should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge , as sanctioned by the Acts ; that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council lor Trade shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several Acts , and shall require that additional narrow gauge rails shall forthwith be laid down from Rugby io Oxford , and from Wolverhampton to the junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester line ; and that if it should hereafter appear that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast , any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway . "

Tlie second resolution was withdrawn ; and , on the suggestion of Sir lt . Peel , another resolution , stating that " it is the opinion of this house tbat provision should be made by law to prevent the Directors of any railway company to alter the gauge of any railway unless by the consent of the Legislature , " was substituted and agreed to . The debate on the three resolutions was adjourned at a quarter past one o ' clock to twelve o ' clock on Tuesday .
The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the house adjourned , T HOUSE OF _OOMMONS-Wbdubbdat _, June 11 . The house met at twelve o ' clock .
BROAD AND NARROW GAUGES . . On the suggestion of Sir G . Clerk the adjourned debate on the resolutions respecting the broad and narrow gauges was put off till Thursday . Sir G . Grey gave notice , for Thursday , to move for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for tho voluntary establishment of baths and washhouses .
NAVAL CIVIL DEPARTMENT BILL . Sir C . Napier moved the second reading of the Naval Civil Department Bill . The object of thc bill was to remodel thc Board of Admiralty , by abolishing the offices of three of the Lords of the Admiralty , and by otherwise reconstituting the Navy Board . In support ol" the bill tbe gallant Commodore entered at _yreat length upon the present defective state of the Board , and the _consequent mismanagement of our navy . __ Lord Ingestre seconded the motion , although he did not approve ofall the _prsvisions of the bill . Mr . Court moved as an amendment , that the bill be read a second time that day six months . The measure proposed would lessen the _respensibility , increase the expense , and introduce greater complica tion thanever into the navy department .
Captain Pechell supported the bill , as he would any measure designed to improve thepresentmanagcmunt ofthe navy . After a short discussion , in which Sir G . _CocKnuits , Captain _Plumridgis , and Captain Berkeley took part , the house divided—For the second reading 11 Against it 107 Majority against the Bill 96
RATING OF TENEMENTS BILL . On the motion that this Bill be read a second time . Mr . R . Palmer said that he had several objections to some of the de _r ails ofthe Bill , but that as he thought it susceptible of considerable amendment in Committee , he should not resist its progress at this stage . » Mr . P . Scrope said he thought the Bill would injuriously affect that class of the poor who were raised only a few degrees above pauperism , and who were gradually sinking into it . The Bill did not give them the exemption wliich their poverty entitled them to , and which was frequently bestowed more improperly on wealthy proprietors and prosperous tradesmen . It also interfered with the erection-of houses for the poor , and he should therefore move that the Bill he read a second time that day six months .
Mr . Hawes then moved the adjournment of the debate , whicli being seeonded by Mr . Spooner _, and agreed to , it was adjourned to Wednesday next . The second reading ofthe Smoke Prohibition Bill was postponed by Mr . Mackisson till Wednesday , the 8 th of July . The adjourned debate on fhe Place of Worship ( Scotland Bill ) was postponed till Thursday . The consideration of tho Poor Removal Bill in Committee was postponed to this day week . The Earl of Lincoln moved that the House go into Committee on the Coroners ( Ireland ) Bill . Sir W . Sombrvillb objected to so important a measure being gone into at such an advanced hour of the day . The Administration of Criminal Justice Bill was read a third time and passed . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned at six o ' _clock .

THE PROTECTION OF LIFE ( IRELAND ) , BILL wns resumed by , Sir A . Armstron , who opposed the second reading of the Bill . Mr . J . Bena'ejt , Captain _Latard , Mr . _Henst , Sir II . W . Barron , aud Mr . Hawes likewise opposed the
Bill . Captain _Fitzmauricb and Lord F . _Egeekon sup- ' ported it . The Noblo Lord , in reference to h te strong expressions used by Lord G . Bentinck , said , he regretted that guch language had been uttered ,, and he particularly regretted that it had been defended on the plea of precedent , because _aay nonsense or violence might be thus justified . In fact , Mr . Fox had used even stronger words than those , cited by Mr . D * Israeli , for be on one occasion said ol Lord North thathe would not trust himself in the same room with himand yet they were
, afterwards political friends ; so he ( Lord F . _higertou ) . did not despair , despite what had passed between Lord U . Bentinck and Sir R . I eel , "that things would set themselves to rights . " He then disclaimed the appellation , of a renegade , which Lord G . Bentixck had applied to several gentlemen aa honourable as any in the house , and amongst others to himself . He concluded by stating that this measure had not been proposed as a cure for tho evils of Ireland ; that he did not support it as such cure ; but that ho did support it as the

It was arranged that the consideration of the Cus toms Bill in Committee , and the third reading ol * thi Corn Bill should be taken on Monday . HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , June 19 . THE LATE PRIME MINISTER CANNING
AND SIR R . PEEL . Every seat in the House of Commons was occupiec for the purpose of hearing the defence _volunteerec by Sir Robert Peel , against the charges broughl against him by Lord George Bentinck with regard tc the conduct of the right hou . gentleman "in having hunted Mr . Canning , the friend of Catholic emancination , lo death" in 1 S 27 , when in 1826 Sir Robert Peel was reported to have admitted in » ne of his speeches that , in 1825 , lie had stated to Lord Liverpool " that something must be done for the Catholics . "
Sir RonBRT Peel , under feelings of no little agitation coniniencfid by apologising for obstructing the public business of the country , upon a matter of a _perswnal nature—but as he might be lowered in the estimation o f the publie if he did not notice theaccusation made against him , he thought a rigid adherence to forms where the character ofa public minister was concerned might be dispensed with . Sir Robkrx then entered into a long statement of the charges made against him , which he divided into three counts : 1 st . That he had designedly suppressed , in an authorised report of his own speech in Parliament in 1829 , the words " that something ought to he done for the Catholics , " in order , to give an impression that he had never made the communication to Lord Liverpool which the reports in the Times and the Mrror of Parliament , if correct , would clearly establish .
2 nd . That , in the said speech , he bad stated " falsely" thnt he had intimated to Lord Liverpool that something ought to be done for the Catholius , " - and that he had garbled his corrected speech in support of that declaration . 3 rd . Thathe had been guilty ofa suppressio veri m garbling tho report in question . Sir Robert Peel denied that the alleged communication to Lord LiVKRPooLhad ever been made . He entered into a variety of historical statements connected with the events ofthe tiiae , quoting avariety ol * private letters from Lord _Livuri'Ool , by which besought to provo inferentially that it was highly probable that the alleged communication bad been made . Sir Robert Peel then went into a variety
ot details , showing from the reports of the Morning Herald , Chronicle , Morning Journal , and other papers , that the particular words in question did not appear in any of their reports ; and hence inferred that the Times and Mirror of Parliament reports were not correct . He denied , upon the authority of tbe Times , that the speech of Sir E . Khatchbull , which referred to the words in dispute , had ever been delivered . The right hon . baronet concluded a most argumentative speech , carrying with , him the unrestrained feelings of the house . The impression seemed to be that the charges ; difficult as they were of prout ' , and still more difficult of being rooted out altogether , had been only raked up for the purpose of party . Lord George _Beniisck followed , in a violent
personal attack upon Sir Robert Peel , reiterating all the charges which had been preferred , and dwelling upon the triumphant progresses of Sir Robert in 1828 , as the apostle of Protestant ascendancy . The " no-surrender" oak was planted in 1828 , when in 1829 Sir Robert turned round with duplicity , and committed his first offence , which caused a transportation from office for many years , and'his last crime would cause him to be _transported for life from all public employment . Lord Gen'ge Bentinck pressed particularly upon thc fact of the speech of Sir Edward _Knatc-hbull , commenting , a few days after the speech referred to , in 1 S 29 , upon the very sentence whicli Sir Robert Peel denies to have been ever delivered .
Mr . Roebuck , followed in a speech full of invective against Mr . D'lsraeli , and the highest panegyric of Sir Robert Peel . He was followed by Lord John Russell , who , in a brief speech , declared his opinion that the Minister had satisfactorily answered the charges made against him . Mr . _D'Ishaeli then spoke at great length , the main point of his argument being the fact of the speech reported in Hansard , as . delivered by Sir Edward Knatchbuu , in which the very words ascribed to Sir Robert Peel are made tbe main
subject of Sir Edward ' s remarks ; and Mr . D'lsraeli asked why Sir Robert Peel did not produce a-few lines from . Sir Edward Knatchbull in denial of the speech ascribed to him , which would have completely set at rest the whole dispute . The debate was warmly carried on by Mr . Goulburn , Mr . Escott , Lord Sandon , Mr . Newdigate , Mr . Hump , Lord Morpeth , Mr . Villiers , Mr . Stafford O'Brien , and Mr . Borthwick ; after which the order ofthe day for the consideration of the Irish Coercion Bill was adjourned till Monday .

guildhall . Extensive _RouBEiir bi a Hoy . —On Monday a respectably-dressed hid , about 15 years of _ngi * named George Corton , was brought before -Alderman Hughes Hughes , charged with robbing his employer _ofiSaiikuotus to the value of £ 90 . It appeared from the evidence of thu various witnesses that the prisoner left the employment of his muster , Mr . Arthur Flower , auctioneer , of New Bridge-street , Blackfriars , on the 6 _' ch of June , having first abstracted £ 00 outof the safe , the key of which was in one of thc desks in the office . Ou the following day he proceeded to the station of thc South Western Railway , _Vaiixliall , and took a double or return ticket to _Kingston . Instead of getting out there , he proceeded to Southampton , and on being asked the difference of fare from Kingston ( Ss . 'Cd . 1 he refused to pay , aud said he had no money . Thinking lie had coma the whole way by mistake they sent him back by the next mail . train to Loudon ' giving the guard instructions to let him be allowed to pass t VauxhallThis lie to do
a . forgot , and the man who received the tickets demanded again the 8 s . 6 d . difference and the prisoner again refused , saying that he had no money , but if he was taken to Kingston , a Mr . Smith , residing there , would pay it . He was taken there , but the prisoner ' s story was found to be false . He was then removed to the station at Kingston , and told he must submit to be searched , upon _uhu-li he ran awav , but was captured . There were then found- upon liis " person six £ Lo notes , five JED notes , four sovereigns , and 17 s . Id . in silver . He was then taken before Mr . Clive , at Wandsworth , and remanded for oue week , and afterwards was sent to this Court . In answer to several questions from the Alderman , Mv . _Elower iduntiiied thc notes , and stated that the boy had been iu his employ tor upward of three years , and that , up to the present uiiforcunatc occurrence , he bad always behaved himself extremely well , -ind was scrupulously honest . At various times he had been entrusted with money to a much larger amount . He was committed to take his trial .
"WORSHIP STREET . * Extraordinary Charge . —On Monday , Thomas Crawford , a sullen-looking young man , about niuoteen years of age , was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with having been found concealed on the pre . mises of Mr . Utithank , a tradesman in Old-strect-roud , with a quantity of poison in his possession , for the supposed purpose of destroying some member of the family . It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor , that about two months ago the prisoner , who- was then up . pi-enticed to him , was detected in the commission of several petty acts of robbery , and having been ( , 'ivcn into custody , was conveyed to the police-station , and locked up in one of the cells , but contrived adroitly to eflect his escape over some adjoining roofs , while a fellow prisoner of his who had been taken ill was being attended to , and was uot found afterwards until about four o ' clock one morning , when his master ' s son , a boy fourteen years of
age , was awoke by a movement _benaath Ins bed , from which tho prisoner suddenly _emergsil with a _hatclwt in his hand , and this so greatly terrified the boy that , he rushed down stairs tor assistance , and . the prisoner , who had taken advantage- of the confusion to drop from the window into the _strec-t , was secured by the police . Upon being brought to this court upon . the charge , his " indentures were at once _jancelled , and- the prisoner committed for trial , but ,. from ; some defect iu the chain of _, eviflenco , thc indictment was not proceeded with , and , though the prisoner was consequently discharged , the _prosecutor was in hopes he had at length oiitiBelv got rid of him About one o ' clock on Sunday _raovnir-g last , however , Mr . CutlinnU was suddenly aroused b y a Strang * sort of noise at the back of his premises ,, und on looking out to ascertain the cause , was much-chagrined at discovery's the prisoner coiled up upon . b * he roof of ; u _3 hed immediately over the water-butt , and ; he thereupon instantly sought a _piuicemaji , who took tho prisoner into custody and removed him to the station-house ; _buisupon proceeding to search him . the prisoner resisted , and attempted to
destroy a large packet containing a white powder ; this was eventually sccurcd _i and upon being submitted to tlm inspection ol" a city mist , it was _)> ronouneed to bis _SttgtXV Oi ! lead , and sufficient in quantity to poison the whole faintly . The prisoner was then closely questioned as to his object iu raiteriiur the prosecutor ' s promises iu such a _suspicious manlier , and as to lus possession of si . wli a large _quantity _, of poison , but he persisted iu maintaining an obstinate silence u pon both interrogatories ,. Upon being called upon for his answer to the charge , the prisoner merely I said that he had picked up the packet iu the _sh'ect _, and . had no knowledge whatever of the nature of its contents . but gave no reason for being found where he had been — Mr . Broughton said that tho conduct pursued by the prisouer _intldsiustauuc , taken in connexion with tho charge that had formerly been preferred against liim , was replete with suspicion of thu gravest character , and he should therefore ordor him to ho committed till that day week , and thepoliue must , iu thc meantime , endeavour to procure any such fresh , evidence as might tend to elucidate i the matter .

Court , on Friday , John Gralam , 16 , described ai a clerk , was indicted for the manslaughter of Thomas Jilemtt , by shooting him with a loaded pistol on the 25 ft A . " a 7 a , _?* ' _% la _" P rose »» t _^ ' a" * Mr . _Clarkaon defeuaeo the prisoner . The learned counsol for tlio . _secution having stated the _fa-. ts _, the witnesses merely repeated the evidence which had been reported more than _, once in this paper . Mr . Clarkson , on behalf of the pri . soner , said he should not attempt to deny thathe _haiJ been the cause ofthe death of tho unfortunate deceased but his defence was , that the act was quit ? _unintenti-. nul his andia fact
on part , , , as hadbeen stated by theprisoner himself ever since the tr ansaction , and at the very mo . ment it haj . peaed , that it was the result of accident . Mr , Baron Bolfe summed up , and left the case to the jury ' who , after _deliberating a short time , retired . They l 8 _fj the court at twelve o ' clock and ware absent till five , when Justus the court was about to adjourn Mr . Baron Rolfe directed that they should be sent for , and soon afterwards they came into court . His lordship then addressed them and said , that _jvsjit was possible they might not have distinctly understood the points he had submitted for their consideration , it might , perhaps , assist them if he stated that it appeared the question they had to decide wa _« , whether the priuouer had been guilty of a mere venial or a culpable negligence . If a person , having a deadly wea . pon in his possession , made use of it in a negligent and
' careless manner , and death ensued in consequence , the | offence would be manslaughter . 8 o also , if a person used I sucb a weapon in a reckless and dangerous manner , and | CAUsed the death of a party , the offence would sti !] . . only be manslaughter , but of a more aggravated character , It was for them to consider whether the act of the prisoner was merely a venial negligence or whether it was culpable . If the latter , his offence amounted to man . slaughter ; but with regard to the former , or if the jury should think that the discharge of thc pistol was the re . sulr of accident—in either of those cases theprisoner was entitled to an acquittal . Tlie jury then ilolibtjiated fos about ten minutes , when they returned a verdict of Not Guilty . Theprisoner was ordered to be immediately dis * charged .
SBNTENCB OS THE _SEtF-CONFCSSfD ROBBER AND MtJH . deiier . —At the Central Criminal Court on _Tuesday "William Henry Norman , aged 26 , describe in the calendar as a labourer , was indicted for stealing gold and silver moneys ' to the value of £ 50 , the property of "William Hoof , his master . Mr . Clarkson appeared for the prosecution . The prisoner pleaded Guilty , and handed in a paper to the bench , which was read by the Common Sergeant . It ran as follows ' . — "That your humble _petitioner in pleading guilty to the offence with which he stands indicted , wishes the Court to take into consideration that he was not a responsible agent at the time of committing the act , and that in committing that and other crimes he does but follow the path of destiny marked out for him . As , however , such crimes should not go unpunished , he begged _tlire- _; propositions to the Bench . The first was , that he ( the prisoner ) should
p lay the Learned Judge a game at billiards a hundred up the board . Secondly , thathe should play him a game of draughts , best two out of three ; and thirdly , that he should play him either at chess or cricket , that if prisoner was the winner , he was ' to be set free , if , on the contrary , he was contented to be hanged by the neck on the following morning until he was dead . " "While this extraordinary petition was being read , the prisoner kept grinniDg and staring about the Court in an apparently de . mented state . The Common Sergeant inquired of _sevtral of the officers , and also of Mr , Cope , the Governor of If ew . gate , under whose surveillance the prisoner has been , whether there was any grounds for thinking him insane . They all said decidedly not . The Common Sergeant sen * tenced him to seven years' transportation , observing that if there was any grounds for supposing him insane , thei' 8 would be ample time to discover it before he left Newgate , and then the sentence could be reversed .
