However , in dividing i hegoods , angry words -were / bandied about in the usual manner , is conseqnenee of ihe son demanding a larger portion than ihe old mazi seemed disposed to allow . The result was that the son threatened to shoot his parent , and proceeded •» distance of half a mile to procure a gun in order to pnJ 2 us threat into -execution . On bis return he presented the loaded gnn at the old man , but the cap being-worthless , he deliberately pnt en another and
shot his parent dead on the spot . The inhuman murderer immediately made his escape , and has np to the time of -wrMng eluded pnrsuit .

GLASGOW . —Repeal—A splendid soiree in favour of Repeal was held in the City Hall on Thursday evening , 29 th riiu , the Rev Mr . O'Ryas in the chair . On the platform were the Rev . Messrs . ftni f ley , Wallace , Long , M'Dermia , and M * Gillon , alsoMi . Q'Niel Daunt , Head Repeal Warden for Scotland : Counsellor OTtend , Mr . Buggy , !© f the Belfast Vindicator , and Mr . C . C . Scott , off Edinburgh , with the leading members of committee . On the cloth being withdraws the Chairman rose amid cheers which lasted for several minutes . He said
they were met there for no party purpose : it was to consult as to a nation ' s weal or woe—to proclaim war against tyranny and oppression . Let no person dare to attribute any other motives to Repealers than those already before the world . Some mightl speak of Whigs and Tories , and say that if Melbourne and UnsseU were back to oioce , Ireland wonld be quiet -once more . He would tell such persons that the Repealer ' s childish days were gone by ; they had been too long fed with the gilded promises of that party , but sow they were in the attitude of men , and they wonld sot crouch for crumbs when they had a right to the whole . He concluded by apologising for the unavoidable absence of Mr . John O'Connellj he also read letters of apology for nonattendance from Counsellor Stanton , Dr . Gray , of the Freeman ' s Journal , Mr . Duffy , of the Nation
and several Catholic clergymen . After giving the Qaeen , Albert , the Royal Infants , and the Duchess or Kent , he gave " the Irish People , the bulwark of Repeal , may they soon secure to themselves the blessings of a domestic legislature " , to which Mr . O'Neil Daunt responded . He said he felt a'difficnHy in addressing them on the momentous sentiment involved in the toast , which they sad just heard . Irish himself , he felt proud when he said ; as he could with most strict and literal truth , that never breathed there upon earth a nation better fitted , qualified , or better deserving to enjoj the power of selflegislation than the gallant—the moral—the chivalrous—the patriotic , and the religious peoplB of Ireland . He valued very ; highly the connection with great Britain ; but he would say she might pay too high a price for that connection : and when Irishmen were told of the value of
that connection , they would naturally be inclined to ask was that connection worth to their country £ 215 , 000 , 000 . Must she go on to pay at this rate , as the price of the connection 1 Must there be inequality of franchise trith Great Britain , as ihe price of the connection ! It was not the force of feeling that made him a Repealer , but strong arithmetical demonstrations that made him cry for Repeal , the -whole Repeal , and nothing but Repeal . Nothing short of Repeal ought to satisfy Irela&d . He ! would look upon his countrymen as the most degraded slaves that ever crouched beneath the feet of tyranny if , knowing the means by which the Union was brought about—If knowing the disastrous joonseqnences of the Union , and believing in the beneficial
fifiecta of immediate Repeal , they would ever concede to any thing short of the fall power of Governing Ireland . After enumerating many of those grievances under which Ireland is labouring , Mr O'D . concluded a long and eloquent speech amidst the deafening plaudits of the assembly . The Chairmas gave " Daniel O'Connell , and the speedy Repeal of the Union , " to which Counsellor O'Dand responded . Having treated of the many lextraordinary qualities of Mr . O'Connell , he came to the second part of the toast . He showed the superiority of Ireland in point of population and wealth over eighteen European States which have Legislatures of their own . He deprecated the idea that they wanted separation : they asserted no such thing ; if they did they might follow the
example of the people of Scotland . They had a Qaeen whom they loved , and snto whom they were grateful for her feelings towards Ireland . He referred io the Arms Bill , and said—they take arms from us that we may be unarmed ; that weaponless and defenceless we may look en while they are plundering us . They plant their guns upon the Martello towers that w& may look on despairing of the fortunes of our country , and of the cloven-down liberties of her children , while the Rbadamanthus steam vessel sail in our harbour ; their mustachoied troops are parading our towns , and the peac * and quietness of the temple of the Most High , : is proiased by armed battalions ; they take arms from us lest our country should be reduced ; lest , as the
men of Scotland did , we too , should take ) to the heath-clad mountain and make our bed . there , and sot return to our hearths until we saw a temple erected to liberty and freedom . They make y& defenceless , that we may be as sheep npon themeadowsj and that theymay be as wolves rushing from their dens tolnll and destroy . But they are mistaken . If we have not armed hands , we have millions of -unarmed bands . Let me not be misunderstood . 1 not the adTOC&fe of civil war . It is not my province , sor is it according to my feelings to inculcate the shedding of blood , or anything that may tend to it . But 1 would tell our oppressors , that we , who have battled for England in every time of seedthat we , who have bled for heT under the burning
sun of India—that we who have pushed her conquests to the farthest corner of the earth—I tell them that we leve the land of our birth , as we love the blood that flows in her . I tell them that if fliere be a nation to ba sacrificed—if there be an altar required where something must be victimised , it is our beloved country , or the hearts that beat within us . I tell them that the country shall be saved . ( Cheers . ) I tell them more ; I tell them they dare sot assail us ; should they do it , I tell them they shall have the worst of it . ( Cheers ; which lasted for several minutes . ; 2 tell them , if victory they have , { and I doubt it , ) it will be the dearest victory England ever gained . The laurels upon that day , -which Bball grace the triumph of the
conqueror , shall be funeral cypresses to England . ( Tremendous cheers . ) I tell them , in one ! word , that Scotland , when she met Edward upon the border when fee attempted to drag the diadem from the head of Bruce , did not display more determination and more courage than we will , in defence of our liberties . ( Vehement cheera ) These are not my sentiments alone . There is not a bosom in Irelaad—there is not a man , 1 believe , in Ireland connected with Repeal of the Union , who does not show this determination , and who does not harbour this identical sentiment . ICheere . ) Will England be mad enongb , circumstanced ss the is , to commence the encounter I If she does , ste may be an empire afterwards ; but will be bu * the spectre and phantom of a nation . Of one thing I shall assure you , at least , that we are equal to the
great struggle in which we are engaged . We embarked in it with a resolution which nothing can conquer . The Minister may say the Union shall not be Repeated ; the fctill small voice- of Whig aiid Tory may say the thing wiB not be accomplished ; but history telle us that a nation needs only to will to consummate her high aspirations , and to complete the measure of her glorious destiny—( loud efceers ) . Mr . O'D- concluded a speech , during the delivery of which he completely electrified the audience , by an appeal for renewed vigour on the part of the friends of Ireland , and sat down amidst cheers , and waving of hats and handkerchiefs . The chairman gave several other toasts , which were snitably ^ replied to ; after which the eompany , which could not be under 2 , 000 , ^ serv ices for 1 , 456 being laid in the area of the hall , exclusive of the galleries , ) broke up about two o ' clock , am .

Domesticated Robins . —In the carpenter's shop at the Leeds Botanical Gardens , a pair of robins have built their nest in a recess nuder the end of the bench on which ' a sun is almost constantly at work , aud there arrnow in the nest five young ones , being the second brood this season . The nest waa first bnilt in February , and at the end of March four young ones were reared and flew away . The parent birds feed their young without at all hcedin ? the presence of the workmen ; in fact , they are so tame as to take the food f which is freely offered to them during the day . '
Ht osi ^ t . —On Thursday evening last , Mr . D . Boss delivered a soul-stirring lecture in the large room , adjoining the Punch Bowl Inn , " op the Repeal of the Union" to an overflowing audience . Great numbers were compelled to retire , not being able to gain admittance . He clearly portrayed the enormities and monstrosities which have been perpetrated on the people of Ireland by a British oligarchy , since the Union with England : and showed that nothing but a Repeal of the Legislative Union ! can alleviate their distress or permanently benefit that ill-fated country . A few more visits from such men as Mr . Ross , and Bnnslet will stand pre-eminent in democracy . ' Toryism will be laid prostrate in the dust ; Whiggery will be buried in toblivion ; and Chartism roign triumphant over intimidation , tyranny , and despotism .

LONDON—Woeking Men ' s Hall , Mjle End Road—Mr . Sherrard lectured here on Sunday evening last , to an attentive audience , on " the best remedies for existing evils . " He adverted to those '' weeping advocates of the rights of labour , " known by the name of " Free Tradera , " or rather " Freebootebs ; " clearly exposing their chicanery in seeking to delude this people with the cry of " cheap bread , " while they are coining heaps of gold out of the sweat and toil of tender infancy . He pi-oved from Scripture that the present condition of the
industrious classes , was in direct . opposition to divine ordinances , aud a violation of the order of naturn ; aud iu a powerful manner showed the People ' s Charter to be the only remedy for the evils which entail misery , poverty , and degradation upon the most useful and deserving portion of the community . He concluded a most eloquent address by calling on his audience in the name of humanity , charity , and benevolence , to arouse themselves from a state of apathy , and unite with their brothers aud sisters ' already in the field , struggling to free themselves from the hand of oppression .
Lambeth . —Bbitamnia Coffeb House , Watbkloo Road . —At the usual meeting of Chartists in this locality , on Monday evening , the Committee on Exclusive Dealing made their report . Its adoption was moved and seconded , and ably supported by Mr . Bolwell , who pointed , out its importance in the obtaining of wealth without money subscriptions , by merely spending our money with those shopkeepers who would allow a ; discount of 5 per cent , to the funds of the Association ; thus bringing about a oordial union between the shopkeeping and working classes . _ The motion was agreed to unanimously . The snbject is to be again brought under consideration next Monday evening , when all members are requested to attend . Other important business will be brought before the meeting .
Cxebkenwell . —On Monday last , the Chartist met as usual for the . transaction of busiues ; but felt very much the want of a proper organization . Unless something be done in this way speedily , the result will be disastrous to the cause in the Jdetropolitan localities . This Locality meets next week on Wednesday instead of Monday , on account of various meetings elsewhere . WOODHOUSE .-0 a Sunday last , Mr . T . B Smith preached on the Moor , at two o ' clock in the afternoon , to a nnmeroua and highly attentive congregation , from Matt . iii . from the 5 th to the 12 th verse , inclusive . He explained our principles in a clear and lucid manner , and laid down the doctrine of the payment of tithes and offerings in a way that we suspect wonld giye little satisfaction to the
wolves in sheep ' s clothing , which , in our days , disgrace the Christian ministry . Mr . S . would have preached again in the evening ; but , finding that a supply was needed : at Leeds , he at once consented to give them the benefit of his service . Mr . Smith lectured in the Chartist Room , on Friday night last , ou Mesmeric Phrenology , which he treated in a manner truly satisfactory to a most attentive audience . After which , some excellent experimenta iu Mesmerism were ably gone through . Mr . Smith has requested us to correct a mistake into which he accidentally fell ; in nis discourse on the Moor on Sunday ; he stated that the journeymen printers were suffering grievous oppression from the Bible Society . He intended to say the journeymen bookbinders .
North Lancashire Delegates . —A delegate meeting was holden at Padiham , on Sunday , June 25 th , and after a friendly discussion , which lasted a considerable time , upon the necessity of engaging a district lecturer , it was agreed that Mr . J . H . R . Bairstow be communicated with upon the subject . Resolved unanimously , " That we the North Lancashire delegates , seriously deploring the present disorganized state of our associaM ' op , and being of opinion that all our efforts are vain and fruitless without a grand directing power and energy , which
may be realised from an accredited Executive , bearing the confidence of the body politic of our agitation , have come to the same conclusion as our worthy friends the South Lancashire delegates , as regards the appointment of a National Conference . " " That we recommend our various localities to hold council meetings at the first opportunity to nominate persons they may consider eligible to serve as their representatives ; also to draw up such instructions as will enable them to faithfully serve the constituencies they may represent .

^ m Awfdx Colliebt Explosion , Lane-End , Staffordshire Potteries . —A most melancholy and fatal accident occurred last night at Fentou , two miles from this place , by which nine lives have been sacrificed , andithe event , as might naturally be expected , has occasioned the most painful excite * ment , aad thrown the surrounding district into a state of the deepest " gloom . At half-past five o ' clock all the colliers , with the exception of five men and two boys , had finished their work , and had safely ascended the Bhaftof the Greenfields Ash Pit , at the Broadsfield Colliery , where tbe awful announcement was made that an explosion of fire-damp had taken place . Mr . Barton , the ground bailiff of the colliery , was instantly apprised of the
occurrence , and in a few minutes vast numbers assembled to ascertain the fate of the unfortunates and to render all the assistance in their power . Mr . Barton immediately descended , notwithstaudtbe imminent risk to his own life , jtod never quitted the pit until the whole of the bodies had been extricated—a work of immense labour , and which waa not accomplished until half-past eleven o ' clock . Awful to relate , two poor colliers , who descended to give their aid , after " Mr . Barton , fell victims to the power that had taken tho lives of those they sought to rescue ; and many others are now severely suffering from the effects of the noxious vapours they inhaled while engaged in their praiseworthy task . It is impossible to describe the scene , as body
after body , completely lifeless , was drawn up : the screams of women and children , and the unsuppressed groans of friends and neighbours , were truly distressing ; and particularly so , as nearly all the sufferers -were persons of good character , well known , and respected . The Broadsfield Colliery is a very extensive one ; a great number of persons are employed in the extensive works ; and it may therefore be readily imagined how sincere and general is the mourning and distress amongst the friends and relatives of the deceased . The colliery is is tbe bands of lessees , the principal of whom are W . T . Copeland , Esq ., M . P ., of the eminent firm of Copeland and Garri-U , Lincoln ' s-inn-fields , an « i W . Baker , Esq . —the latter gentleman being resident
on the spot witnessed the heart-Tending scene . The accident is supposed to have been occasioned by an imprudent order given by Smith , the overman , to a workman named Dawson , to close a door before the other men had left the pit , and extinguished their candles , by which means tho current of air was diverted from its proper course , and formed a reservoir of gas in tbe road by which five of the poor colliers were proceeding to the shaft . This is concluded to havis been the catse from the localities in -. vLica ihe bodies were found . Thousands of persons were present . during the night , but a body of Dolice being present , admirable order was preserved . Tbe following are the names of the sufferers , not one surviving to give a correct statement of the cause of
this dreadful event : —James Smith , overman , the legs and srms broken , and the body altogether most horribly mutilated ; he was a married jonan of good character , had two ; children , and bis wife approach ing her confinement . Jacob Tipton and Moses Heath , lads of about twelve years of age : the body of the latter is dreadfully mangled , the head , from the mouth upwards , being literally blown off . William Shone , a native of ^ Wales , aged about thirty . James Dawson . —leaves a wife and four children , one of whom was born on ; the previous Saturday ; he was a good hnsband and } steady man . Peter Balderstone had a large family ! which are left totally unprovided

An Escaped Felon Recaptured . —Charles Price , the man . who some weeks ago escaped out of the custody of the Governor of the « 0 al of Newgate , has been apprehended by John Forrester , the officer As soon as ; intelligence of the escape had been brought to the police that Price had contrived to elude the vigilance of the people appointed to the duty of watching the passing and repassing of visitors , Forrester » et to work in ] his own peculiar way , and at length ascertained that the fugitive was in a miserable lodging in ; the neighbourhood of Bethnal Qreen . He accordingly went , accompanied by pne of the turnkeya , who knew the person of Price , at two o ' clool ? on Monday , and having given the turnkey certain instructions as to the course ihe was to pursue in so dangerous a vicinity , slipped up stairs , and surprised the unfortunate man , on a bed of straw , in a most wretched condition , without a farthing in his pocket , or a shoe or a hat in his possession . Price made no
resistance , and was seated in a cab , and on his way to Hewirgate , before the landlady of the house knew that he was in custody . If the affair had not been ingeniously managed , he would no doubt have escaped through a trap-door whjch was on the premises , and whioh led to another building . He is to be tried ait the next session of the Central Criminal Court * Attempted Murder . —On Tuesday last a man of respectable jexterior , named John M'Kenzie , was brought before Mr , Rush ton , stipendiary magistrate of Livorpooli on a charge of having made a most determined attempt at Savannah to cut the throat of William Draper , the master of the bark Sophia , with a razor . It appeared from the evidence of the
prosecutor , that the prisoner had , until reoently , been tbe owner of the bark , but that he had become so much rednced in circumstances as to be obliged to sign articles as a man before the mast . Tho bark Bailed from London for Savannah for a cargo of cotton , on the 10 th of February last , with the prisoner on board as aiseaman , and arrived on the 2 nd of April , whenjshe got aground in the river , and made so much water that Bhe had to bo greatly repaired . After the repairs had been executed , the prisoner , who wished still to be recognised as owner , wanted the captain to sign . some fraudulent accounts , in order that the same might be
transmitted to the underwriters at home . The captain repeatedly refused to comply with this request , and in consequence of his refusal , the prisoner , upon the night of the fifth of May , as he was in the act of retiring to bed , suddenly plunged a razor into the left side of his neck , which inflicted a wound four inches' in length and one : in depth , and extended round to his throat . The prisoner , who alleged that the accusation was ; as false as malice could invent , said that his principal witness was in Glasgow , and would not be in Liverpool before that eveniDg . Mn Rushton observed that the charge was a most } serious one , and ordered the prisoner to be remanded until the following day .
Brutality' in a Workhouse . —At Greenwich , a man named Cox , dressed in the clothes of the Greenwich Union , applied to the sitting magistrates under the [ following circumstances : —He said he had a most'serious charge to prefer against Mr . Dunlop , the : schoolmaster of the ; Greenwich Union . In the first ; instance , his family had been removed to Deptford . One of the boys was then about four years Old . He heard that his child had been ornelly treated . They afterwards went into the Union at Greenwich , but the cruelty was unabated , Iii February , during the cold bleak winds , Dimlop had cut the child ' s hair as close as though it was intended to shave him ; and then , day after day , he was turned into the yard and never let into the room . He heard that the poor
child had been turned out into , the dead-house of Deptford with three dead bodies during the night . He asked the child how he slept during the three nights , andi the answer was . " On the lids of the coffins . " Afr . Grove : Good God ! why did you not apply to the Board of Guardians ?—Applicant : I spoke to two or three of them ; Mr . Powell and Mr . Suter I remember well . —Mr . Warman ( the relieving officer of Deptford ) : Had he gone before the board in the right way , he would have been listened to ;—Applicant : I did go before the board , but got no redress- I was not listened to . — Mr . Warman : Did you write to the roaster to request an interview' !—No ; but I did go bt fore them —Mr . Warman t You see . Sir , ho has not gone ti right way to work . The case was to be sent befor the board .
Value op Shall Farms . —Oa Thursday last , the Kingston Farm , Wood bridge , now in the occupation of Mr . James Gobbett , was let by auction , in seventeen lots , for a term of eight years ; the result of which was something extraordinary . Through all the most successful times of farming , not a tenant could ever live on this identical farm until the present occupier undertook its management ; andi now , when times look anything but prosperous for the success of agricultural operations , this farm , divided as above , has been let for nearly double the amount it has of late realised . —Suffolk Chronicle .
Dreadful Destitution . —On ; Tuesday evening , Mr . Payne held an inquest at the Swan and Sugar Loaf , Fetter-lane , ou view of ihe body of a male infant child , that was born prematurely under the following melancholy circumstances : —James Brotheraon , of No . H , Robin Hood Court , Fetter-lane , the father of the deceased , stated that his wife , being enciente , was taken ill . with the pains of labour on Sunday i evening last . About tea o'clock , she became much worse , and witness went to the union workhouse to apply for medical' aid . lie was sent to Mr . Ray , of Salisbury-square , Fleet street , he being Ihe parish surgeon . The answer given was that Mr . Ray was from home , and witness then west to ! Mr . Bul ! en , of ; Farringdon-street
surgeon , who quickly attended , and rendered every assistance , besides giving witness some money , he and his wife being iu very destitute circumstances . Witness ' s wifo still continuing very ill , the labour being premature , and he was told , of a very dangerous nature ,, witness went again to the workhouse about six o ' clock the next morning , the child having been born in the meantime without any medical attendance . On going to the Workhouse thia time , witness got an order for Mr . Ray to attend , and ha then came jand saw witness ' s wife , about threequarters of an hour after he had been served with the order , which witness left at hia house . Mr . A . Winpenny , lot Fetter-lane , surgeon , stated that on Monday morning last , he saw ; deceased and its
mother , tbejlatter of whom was still in a very dangerous state . Deceased was certainly still-bom , aud could not have been more than a six month ' s child . The child had no doubt been born prematurely , in consequence of the sufferings which the mother underwent from destitution ^ The room which She and her husbaud inhabited had neither bed sor bedding of any kind , and the child had literally been born ou the floor . The fhusband had been out of work for many months ^ but ; had never applied fop parish relief . He was occasionally assisted by sohro of his relatives , as far as they were able . Mr . John Carver , relieving officer of the West London Union , stated that , on hearing of the above horrible circumstances , be immediately visited the parents of the deceased , and gave them' proper assistance . . The husband had never applied for parochial relief . Witness believed that the parish surgeon was not bound to attend in any case until he received the parish order . The
Coroner , after commenting in severe terms upon the inhumanity ) of Mr . Ray in not attending to thecsse until he was actually made responsible for his conduct by tho setviceof the order upon him * desired the beadle to go andlfetoh Mr . Ray , that be might have an opportunity , of giving some explanation of his ^ conduct . Mn-jRay , being from home , Mr . Kingsland , his apprentice , returned with the beadle , and , after hearing the'statement that had been made against Mr . Ray , * replied to it by saying that he was not at home when ] the witness Brotherson came to fetch him ; besides , which it was not usual , in any case , to attend without a parish order . i The Coroner said that , in hisjopinion , there could be no excuse for the shameful neglect that had been shown , and Mar . Ray might think it fortunate that the child had been born prematurely ; for under such circumstances , the jury hid legally nothing to ! do With Mr . Ray ' s misconduct . Under the direction of the Coroner , the jury returned a verdict that deceased was " Stillborn / ' 1 ;

The passing of the Scotch Church Billlthrough committee was a portion of the business eetjdown ; and in anticipation that on its being moved the threatened onslaught of Lord Brougham on the Earl of Aberdeen would take place , there was a considerable gathering of both peers and strangers . But the Noble and Learned Lord ( who wasevidently suffering from indisposition ) was soothed by the assurance of the Earl of Aberdeen that he had intended hiia no disrespect by
bringing on the discussion on Monday night , daring his absence ; in proof of which he postponed the farther consideration of the bill until Lord Brougham is able to take part in the : debate , and vindicate his Auohterarder judgment , f Sir Thomas Wilsou ' s Hampstead Inclosure Bill , towards which the attention of the metropolitan public has been strongly directed , was withdrawn for the present session , by the Earl of Egremont , who , in doing so , shortly vindicated the motives of its promoter . | The other business was routine .

TO THE CHAHTISTS OF THE LEEDS DISTRICT ' BRETHREN , —Nothing is so important as that ear principles should be generally known , especially by those who from prejudice or otherwise neglect to attend par meetings .

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-THUBSDAY . The first order of the day was the adjourned committee on the Irish Arms Bill . The House went into committee on the Bill , commencing with the seventh clause , to which [ there were several amendments . The first division took place on a proviso , that pending the granting ! of a licence the arms shall be deposited with the police , or some licensed person . This was proposed io be omitted by Mr . Wyse who moved accordingly , , but his amendment was rejected . The eighth clause , technically termed the "
branding clause , " raised a leng discussion . Lord J . Russell opposed it , on the ground | of its unconstitutionally , and cited the returns to show that crime in Ireland was diminishing . He moved its omission , which was seconded by Lord Clements , and , after a debate , the amendment was rejected , and the clause was carried , 178 to 104 . \ The construction of the ninth clause raised a lively discuBBion . It professes to regulate the mode in which persons , not ke ' eping arms at the time of passing the Act , but who may afterwards wish to do bo , may apply for a licence twenty-one days before the then next sessions .
Sir Robert Ferguson moved an amendment ; and a 9 the Attorney-General ] for Ireland did not seem clear oa the subject , and ] Sir James Graham proposed to remedy the clause by a proviso , the effect of which was not understood , several other amendments were proposed , to ( postpone the clause , and also that the chairman report progress Sir Jambs Graham , in somewhat taunting terms , refused to postpone the clause , which provoked a spirited retort from Mr ,: Morgan J . O'Connell , Lord ^ FpHN Russell { declared his intention of supporting the postponement of the clause , on account of the unsatisfactory conduct of the Government , j Sir "Robert Peel endeavoured to soothe the House , whioh waa getting warm , and said that if the course were pursued of debating crery chase oa the merits , It would be fatal , not merely to this b ill , but to all legislation whatever .
Lord Palmehston , Mr Watson , and Other Members exposed the absurdity of pressing a clause , the meaning of which was doubtful to the Government itself . Lord Eliot made some explanations , but Mr . More O'Ferrall remarked , that with nine lawyers , two Secretaries of State , and an hour and a half ' 8 discussion , they w [ ere more distant than ever from understanding the clause , which was a very sufficient reason for postponement . A division took place On the question of reporting progress , which was rejected by 252 to 92 . The point / however , was gained ; aud after about eight hours had been spent in carrying two clauses , and debating another , the House resumed , and tbe remaining business was disposed of .
