      Mr , SlinoRD supported the motion , 'ionndffluli wMtuepreient Irish Poor-law , and pleaded the peculiar hardshi p of the case of the Irii ? h . landowners . : . " .

Ho threatened that go-Ternment should have no tneans of ruling Ireland in petce and quietness , until the evils of tnat country were remedied . Meantime he should support Colonel Dunne ' s motion . .

      Mr . Shabjias Cbawfobd should also support the motion , but disapproved of the last speaker ' s advocacy of it . Leave iraa given to bring in the bill T TZ Fm f \ <™« TAX . lcolonei . SiBihorp then rose to submit a motion for the remiawTnnS ^ l ? e ' l levied on the tenant-farmers , f ;« ?„ H n th ? avowed object of the alterationin the Corn Law was to give protection to , domestic asrieulture ; whereas from 1842 the landed interest had been Suffering constant depression , owing to forei | n imports , which worked in various ways to the injury of the tenant farmers , who were thus disabled from employing labourers . ' Their distress being admitted , he appealed to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to acquiesce in tbe object of the motion now , or in tho next sesssion .

      The Chancellor of the Exchequer said , that to relieve one class from the operation of this tax would bo unjust to other classes , and inconsistent with the principle of the tax . Next session would be tne time for considering the general question . ^ cru Mr . Buck urged the distress of the landed interest and declared his determination to support any woposition for the relief of that interest . . Mr . Newdkgate complained of the conrso pursued by the government towavds the agricultural interest this session ..

      Mr . Wodkhodsk said that the English farmer was in a new position , and when the house met , after the recess , his whole condition , and that , too , of ins landlord and his labourer , must ba fully investiga * ' ' . . , , Mr . Spooher urged that the tenants were assessed to the tax upon a fake principle , and suggested that the Commissioners of the Property Tax should be authorised to hear appeals of tenants , who though charged npon profits , had been . Buffering ColonelSmiHOBT ? saH bo would certainly take the sense of the house upon the question . ' The gallery wM . then cleared , and , the division at this period would have carried the motion . Mr . Home rose ,, and spoke during the exclusion of strangers . On the re-admission of the latter , Mr . DiSBAEti was speakinsr . He said that he

      should support the motion , which he conceived to be in perfect concord with the principles which he had always advocated . He saw no difficulty whatever in giving this most just relief to tho sufferin " agriultunsts . . ¦ . .. . -. . ° Mr . Bright said that it was . necessary to impose the tax in the way now employed , because farmers did not keep such exact books as tradesmen . He proceeded to say that the Protection cry was nearly worn out , bat as some cry would be neceasarv during the recess , be supposed " ; that this was the deviso with ^ hich the Opposition were going to try to keep up the delusion practised upon thefarmers . This attempt would be c onsidered throughout the country as a most impudent one . The Marquis of Gbarbt said a few words upon tho altered condition of the farmer from what it was at the time the income-tax was imposed . '

      The house then divided , negativing the motion by 50 to 32 ; majority 18 . ; . ¦ ' ¦ " ¦ Mbdical Reform . —Mr . Wtld obtained leave to bring in a bill to incorporate the general practitioners of surgery , medicine , and midwifery . The Iosian Despotism . —Mr . Hume then called the attention of the house to the riots and proclamation Of martial law in Cephalonia , and to the gr ievances of the inhabitants of the Ionian Islands . He arraigned the conduct of the present Lord High Commissioner , and complained of the abolition of constitutional law in those islands , the unnecessary proclamation of martial law , - arid the general misrule . Stating the grounds upon which he impugned ot

      me proceedings Sir u . Ward ; he severely condemned the executions / floggings , and burnings of houses in the island , as well as the supineness of the Colonial Office . What he wanted Was an inquiry by a commission on the spot , and he moved an address to that effect . Lord Xcoesx seconded the motion . He consi . dered that the people of Cephalonia had been misrepresented ,- that they had been treated unjustly , cruelly , and illegally ; and that there should be an mquiry injustice to the people , and even to Sir H , Ward himself . Lord Nugent was proceeding , when the house , upon being counted , was found to consist of only thirty-eight members , and an adjournment took place at a quarter past nine o ' clock .

      WEDNESDAY , July 24 th . HOUSE OF COMMON 6 .-The second reading of the Poor Relief ( Cities and Towns ) Bill was moved and discussed for some time . Ultimately Mr . Buses , suggesting that the session was approaching its end , and the whole question involved with the law of settlement , Mr . Shaft o Ad air consented to withdraw the measure for the present year . COMPOUKD HoCSEHOtDBItS BttL . —Sir W . ClAT in moving the second reading of the Compound Householders Bill , said that the Reform Bill conferred the franchise on those who occupied houseof £ 10 annual va lue , provided they resided % certarn period and had paid their rates . One of the

      conditions essential to the franchise was that the names of the parties should be on the rate book . Sow , there existed a class in London , and he believed , in almost every large town in the country , who , though inhabiting houses of , the value of £ 10 and up wards-often as high as £ 18- — had not their names on the rate book , and for thia reason , that in many parishes the local acts enabled the owners of houses to eompoun . d the rates of the tenants . The owners gained a small profit by compounding arid relieved the parishes of the difficulty of collecting the rates from many parties but the effect was this—that the only , name on the rate-book being the name . of : the . owners ., of the houses—often to . the extent of . twenty , thirtv , or f housesthe

      orty — overseers had no power to return the names of the occupants to the returning officer and thn 3 numbers of properly qualified p ersons were disfranchised . This was considered for years after , the passing of the Reform Bill an insuperable objectioa ; but , according to the thirtieth clause of that bill , "it was held that a person might claim to . be among the list of voters although his name , might not be upon the rate-book . . That applied only to the then existing ' rate , so that it was necessary that the person mu 3 t renew his claim and tender for every rate . ; and virtually , this condition had , the . effect ot disfranchising large numbers of tenants .. The object of the present measure was to put . an end to the necessity of their making

      these incessant claims , and to provide that , havm * made these . claims and complied with the nrovfsions of the Reform Act , they " should be on the register . Their vote could still be , challenged for w -n nt of £ slden 5 ? Pr non-payment of rates ; and the bill would confer , the franchise on very many deserving and properly qualified persons . , Mr . NEWDEGAiE . said this bill had been introduced last year , and that it stood for a second reading on the 27 th ., of July ., This year its secon < readmg . was moved . on the 2 ith' of July , and therefore a gain of three days was obtained on the present occasion as compared with last session . The house , haying heretofore considered the propositi

      on , came to tne conclusion that the machinery of the bill was imperfect , and that it would be improper to proceed Mththa measure . H 4 believed the biir would open a door for enormous frauds , and that it would cause numbers of fatrgot votes to be , manufactured . Lord Denman had ^ ven it as bis judksial opinion- that its principle if'wted upon , would , forsterlbribery . He believed that while : county . voters ,-were on ; the decrease boroughs ' voters were on thelncrease ^ -to the extent of 30 , opo in 1849 . as ; compared with 1848 He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day 8 ix months . - .

      S ]? Gl i ?? 1 Baid he should . vote for the second reading of the . bill , believing that its object came entirely within the spirit of the Reform Act . ( Hear . ) Local acts did certainly enable the owners to componnd rates , and ! thus , perpetually , recurring claims w . ere occasioned . The present measure would make one claim sufficient , providing , all the . conditions attached to the Reform Act had been , complied With . .. .. , : . . . ¦ - , ' , . . . . .. . . Sir " E . BT .

Commissibner Mayne , ; which ; went to prove that . it would be inoperative . -. He , objected to it as a . i-eligious . bill , uocauso it contained no religion in it : as a social bill , because it , interfered w . ith . everything and settled ^ nothing , and because : in its inoeption it was ; unfair , leaving out , of its scope the powerful class of victuallers . . "

      . Colonel Thompson supported , the bill , believing that n wouldreally be a heavy blow to the Sabbatanans . - - ¦ " ., . . . . ; Mr . Alcqok likewise supported ^ the bill , but upon the ground that , without , injury , to the working classes , it would put down , Sunday , markets . whicE were Sunday fairs , andafford a relief to tradesmen Mr . Ansibt opposed the bill , which , he contended created an invidious distinction between , rich and poor . Bills of this kind did not remed y the ' evils against which Ithey are : aimed ; , they , . were rather calculated to extend and perpetuate them . LordD : Sioabt , without adopting allthe details of the bill , thought there were . sufficient reasons why it should be read a second time . He advocated

      it upon grounds entirely separate from religion solely upon civil and social considerations , its object being to . prevent unnecessary trading , • . . . . Mr . G . Thompson likewise : supported the prh > oiple of the bill ., The evils of Sunday trading were innumerable ; some localities in the Tower Hamlets were nuisances on Sunday . ... , . ., Mr . Hawes bore his testimony to . the fact that a large prsportion of the metropolitan parishes desired some reasonable restraint upon Sunday trading .. This principle was all the house was called upon to affirm . ¦¦ "• .: ¦ ¦'; : ; Mr . W . J . Fox would support a measure efficiently tending . to secure to the largest number possible , consistently , with , the comfort of : society in general , the inestimable blessing of having one

      day in seven delivered from the common pressure of the toils and cares of work ;• but he did . not think that olijeot would . be . promoted by this bill . This was aot a bill for securing a , day of restto the great mass ; it . was a Lambeth shopkeeis ' mea-Bure , directed against orange and apple stalls . ( Hear , hear . ) If the bill should becomelaw , you must not buy a Bible or Prayer-book on a Sunday , but you may buy a newspaper , provided it were Btamped—a stamp which would no longer secure it gratuitous transmission by post on Sunday . ( Hear . ) A general investigation ought to precede any measure upon this subject , an < f without it these petty and partial measures ought . not to bo entertained ( Hear . ) Was the Jew to bo comDelled—riossiblv

      Ins conscience protesting r against ' it—to keep the . Sunday of tbe Christian , who had his shop open when the Jew ' s was shut ? : ( Hear . ) It was im possible to separate this : bill from that great effort making in behalf of opinions which were a relic of Puritanism , belonging chiefly to this country and to modern timeB , and without sanction in that book from which the Christian law was deduced ( "Hear , " "Oh ! " ) Luther and Cranmer , and the great reformers gave no countenance to the views now put forward ; and those who held the opinions just referred to must not expect to impose ; them upon the whole nation with the aid of legislation ; ( Hear . ) Such a bill as this was not brought forward with pure hands . The great spirit of the ancient

      commandment was not the suppression of trading , but was — " Thou shalt do no work ; " and domestic service especially was the object of the prohibition * . But did not the Sabbatarians employ their grooms , and coachmen , and household servants ? ( Hear , hear . ) Nor was he ( Mr . Fox ) disposed to look favourably upon such measures as this until he saw the day of rest regarded more generously .- Rest was not the mere unintelligent Cessation from toil , nor wasthe term satisfiediby jittendance at church or at chapel , whether the individual ; was awake or asleep when there . ( A laugh . ) Combined with restrictive enactments , there should be facilities : afforded to the multitude for resorting to some of those means for recruiting exhausted frames and mind s which were enjoyed by their suneriors . ThoDarish baker

      was the poor man ' s cook ; let the one : work .-for the ; many . The omnibus and , the . steam-carriage were the poor man ' s coach ; let him have as free use of them as the rich man had ; of his carriage . 2 Jo one would dream of forbidding the rich man ' s going intehis library on the Sunday . The public reading room was the poor man's library . ( Hear , hear . ); . The rich man contemplated ' his paintings and his statues ; let the poor man have access to the great works of art , —let him have that which formed a sort of resting-place between what might be the high spiritualism of devotional service and the low and gross animalism of mere sensual . enl dyment . ( Hear , hear . ) He ' ( Mr . tFox ) believed the b ill would operate partially , and had a petty and unworthy object ; and , instead of going into committee with the view to damaging . the bill , he should oppose the second reading . ( Hear . ¦

      Sir J . Grahau considered that a decent observance of the Christian Sabbath was not , as Mr . Fox had characterised it , petty or unworthy / though hie agreed with him that it was not desirable to enforce a gloomy , ascetic observance of it , aad that all rational amusements of the people ought to be tolerated . . The difficulty of the subject was , however , great , and though , when he had been Secretary of State ,. representations were made to him of the evils and abuses of Sunday trading , he found the subject so difficult that ho . had refrained from introducing any measure upon it . But the question ' . was , whether , he should reject a measure passed by the Lords . He thought , On tne whole , that it was the nearest approximation to a reasonable measure , arid he should go into committee upon the bill with the purpose of endeavouring to amend its defects and supply its deficiencies . . ¦; : ' ..

      The Chairman , in proposing " , The .

Charles iNapikb ; in returning thanlts for the navy , Baid the noble lord ;( Palmerston ) had been more . closely , connected with the army than they bad supposed , for he had ; commenced his career in the navy as a Lord of the Admiralty j and , bad he continued-in it , his career , would have been as brilliant as it had been : in a political point of view . . ( Hear . ) When his . connexion with the navy ceased he had

      still found occasion for its services—first , in carrying out his policy in Belgium ; and afterwards iniPortugal . Subsequently , he had called - the navy and the army into operation in Spain , and had by so doing preserved the , peace of Europe . ! ' ( Cheers . ) . Afterwards , in .. Syria ,, with a handful of -sailors , and mariners ,, he had 1 settled , a question which-had posed all : the ¦ statesmen of Europe .

      Sir De L . Evans , M .

Comparing Spain twenty , years ago with , what it was now , it would appear that no country of : Europe .- bad , ; made greater progress ! in . , rational liberty , and civil and religious freedom , in 8 o ; 8 hort a space' of : time ; and this ; was , in a , great measure , owing . -to-the ^ policy pursued by the noble lord .

      The toast was most enthusiastically received ; and drunk with ¦ •* all the honours , " as indicated" by ¦ the chairman . ! . : ' ; . ' ¦ ' ¦ ^ . ¦ i- > ¦ ' Lord Paimbbston was received with loud cheers , and every demonstration of enthusiasm . He said : — When I think of the honourable and flattering reception I . h&ye met with from you this day ' ; and when ! "I think '' of the terms—so far , ' exceeding anything whl < ih I feel conscious of deseryihg—in which my nbn . and : gallant ftiend ; Has been pleased to propose this toast ; I am sensible of the truth of what you have often heard , that it-is far more easy to firid arguments with which successfully to repel one ' s opponents than it is to find words adeauate to

      express thanks , and gratitude to one ' s friends . It is said , indeed , that out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speakethj'but , ' my lords . ' arid gentlemen ; the heart may be too ' full to ' allow the tongue its proper utterance . ( The noble- lord was here ; much 'affected .- ) - Gentlemen , - you have met here to-day not only to testify kind and friendly feelings to one individual , but you have met also , 'I apprehend ,-to record , by a public demonstration , your . opinion as to great , and leading principles of public . policy . ( Cheers , ) I am entitled to infer that tue prineiplfeB of policy which have guided the governinent , of which I have the honour to be a member , in their adininistration of the foreign rela- ' tionBof this

      - country , Jiave , been such generally , speaking . in general terms , as you have thought deserving of your approbation . Those psinoiples of policy may ; be describe ^ in a few words . The guiding objects of the policy of the government with regard to our foreign relations have been the interests of England —( loud cheers )—interests which have their beginning in the well-Being of this country , and which 'in their progress comprehend the well-being of every other' country . There ia no land , however distant or however near —however civilised or-however barbarous—in whibh Englishmen are not found , for the purposes of recreation or of health , in the pursuit of science or of

      commorce or m the noble and higher avocation of shedding through the regions of darkness the light of the Christian faith . ( Cheers . ) I contend , that these fellow-subjects of ours are entitled , wherever they , may be , to think that they are " under the ? uardianahip of the watchful eye of this country —( loud cheers)—and to assume that England will either protect them from wrong , or , if wrong is done , that her powor will obtain lor them redress . ( Cheers . ) I have said that the interest of England is , not only that we should , ourselves participate in these objects , but also that we rejoice in the wellbeing of all'other nations . The days are gone byat least in this country—when men thoughtwhen

      , nations imagined , that theirown prosperity 'was to be promoted by tbp : adversity of their neighbours . ( Cheers . ) We glory in our own wealth , in our own happiness , in our own liberty ; but we do notdesiro a monopoly of those blessings ; -and so far as our efforts can be properly exercised , I think-it is the duty of the government , of this country to assist other nations in following our example—those who are endeavouring , ; at least , to attain the position which we occupy . . ( Cheers . ) , Dp not imagine that we are less sensible ; tlian any other , men in tho eountry . of the value , and importauco of peace . . Do not imagine that . wo think lightly of the calamities of war—of the interruptions which war opposes to aii ii

      nprpveuients , sooial ,, poUtwal , and commercial . Do not ; imagine that we are insensible to those- great reasons which ought to . deter tho government of this couutiy from involving , without absolute ncessity , the people withwhose destines they were ohareed in all the miseries and calamities of war . Anxious ns the people ofthis country are to preserve peace and avoid war with any country , yet , believe me , there is no other country w . uich is not so disinclined-and . that for the best of all reasons-to go to war with England ^ England oan be . to go to war with , them . l Uieers .
