Sir J. N EWPOKT wished to ask whether, in the event of the Bill concerning her Majesty, the Queen, coming down to this House, it was intended that there should be a regular call of the House, or whether any mode would be adopted for assembling all the Members, similar to that (by letters from the Lord Chancellor) adopted in the House of Lords. tending to Ireland, as he wished a; much as possible to assimilate the practice in the two countries ; but he was afraid that the Irish merchants were not yet ho-' nest enough for them." It was to he feared, that that oliection to the administration of those laws was not 1741 t entirely removed. With regard to the failures in Ireland, it occurred to him that the state of distress under which that country now trembled, was to a very ymaillerable extent owing to the Aet by which stock !dB allowed to be transferred from England to Ire land. Since the passing of the Art no less than six millions of stock was transferred to Ireland ; hut the law was nut reciprocal, it did not allow the transfer of the stock bask again to England, and the result was, that a large portion of Irish capital was absorbed, and' locked up from the circulation. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. SESSIONAL ADDRESSES.—The usual Sessional Addresses to his Majesty, for conferring a dignity in the church on the Chaplain to the House, and for making compensations to the didereitalerks-and offi cers of the House, were then moved and agreed to. The Cnastet.Loa of the Excnitotailave notice that. next Monday, he should snort thakftbe House should adjourn over from that day To * following Friday. .7 1 At a quarter past seven the House adioprned. The CHANCILLOR of the EXCHINU,ER 111111undrratoed to answer, that it was scarcely necessary for him to in form any Member acquainted with the forma of this House, that the latter mode, to which the Klett lion. Baronet alluded, was not consistent with the practice of this House. He was not aware that it was intended to move a Call of the House, and, indeed, he ',teemed such a motion to be unnecessary, as no doubt could be entertained that, upon such an impors.lnt subject, every Member would feel it his unavoidable duty to attend.---(Hear, hear !) Sir J. Nawroar observed, that he had only asked the question for the purpose of removing a misunder standing to which he himself was not a party, but which prevailed among many Members of the House. He exp d his conviction that there would be a full attendance BRUCE—Lord Joan Russet'. begged to call the attention of the Hon.
