I•otd HOLLAND, seeing the Noble Secretary of State (Lord Liverpo o l) in his place, was desirous to be informed, previous to the discussion nt the Order of the Day, whether any information was ready to bc: com. municated to the House, concerning a subject which for some nme past had engaged and alarmed the public mind, and which appeared to involve and be pregnant with the most serioei consequence—he was alluding to the recent disturbances in Nottingham and its neighbour hood.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose to assure the Noble Lord, that the disorders to which he had alluded, had not been by his Majesty's Go vernment overlooked ; on the contrary, they were seriously impressed with the concern which such proceedings were calculated to excite, and with the duty which was incumbent upon them to examine into the causes, and as far and as directly as possible, to apply an efficient remedy. Many considerations of delicacy, however, made precaution and circum spection expedient. Inquiries had been set on foot, and some most active and intelligent Magistrates had been, employed for that put - pese. The exertions of those persons had already been attended wall very hopeful results ; and should they not speedily be fully answerab!e to ex pectation, it was the intention of his Majesty's Government to bring the subject before Parliament.
