Mr. IleotrotiAsr explained. 'Lord Mr c'roN thought this Hotise, when they saw the evidence, would agree, that there ought at present to be no duty on importation. , Mr. FRANKLANDLEWIS and Mr. CALCRAFT mu tually explained. Sir Jolt N NEW . PoRt said, be bad hoped to have received notice, at least a day or two, of the inten tion of closing the Committee. liut he had only . received notice at II o'clock to attend at 1 o'clock that day; He could not attend that day, and the same thing, he supposed, had happened to others. Two or three days notice ought at least to have been given. It was out of the usual line to close a great question on two days evidence. Lord LBsCELLES and Sir JOHN NEWPoRT mutu ally explaiiled. Mr. J. P. GRANT had also received notice at eleven o'clock, and could not attend that dim Mr. ToomeseN was of opinion, that the Com mittee had reported, with very great propriety, because they had reported soon. Them was no hi 'the country at present, that the subject should be agitated at all. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that the conversation harrgone to a great length, On a question respecting which there was no dif ference of opitriou, and the Report had been de bated hrtletail, though the House; both lit form rota reality, knew nothing of it, When the Re-' port was really before them, it would. be compe tent for any Member either to move an instruction to the. Committee to push their inquiries farther, or to send back the Report fur their consideration. After some observations by Sir J. Newport, Barham, Colonel Stanley, and Mr. Finlay, the Report was received and read. The opinion of the Committee was,— * 4.

Mr, TIERNE' then masted for a Lleturn of the Produce of the Stamp Duties collected under the Act of the 54th and 55th of the King.—Ordercd. 'Mr. TIRRNEY then observed, that he tout heard a sum of 13,000/. vas, in 1812, taken frorii the produce of the Crown Lauda, and applied to the purchase Of two houses in Pall-mall. He wished to know from the Right lion. Gentleman oppo,. site if such was the tact ? The answer he should receive would determine whether he should sub- Wit a moth,, to the Home or not. The CIIANCELLOR of the Excnactvest sai4-, the fact certainly was that two houses had horn par thased. If the ;tight Hon. Gentleman wished 'for more information, he must get it by way of motion. Mr. TtEnt4tot suggested, that the Hight lion. (*sentient:4n might inform himself on the subject, and communicate 'such information to the House as would render a motion unnecessary. Mr. GRENTBLI. said, he was a party'concerned in this transaction, as one of the houses purchas ed by Government in 1812 was his. The sum be ad received for it was 90001.' and that was the sum at which his interest in the House Was valued -by Mr. Christie and the Government Surveyor. MI...TIERNEY said, he observed that the iniaries paid to the Commissjoners of his Majesty's Lands and Forests for the year was 8009 k: nod that the contingent expences were 23,9001:; and this upon to income of 61 ,0001.'; ate HOW whited-ft - I Move for the itcrns this eXpenditure of 23,0001.

The grants of leave of absence did not pass through his office ;, and he WEIS not able to say what leave of absence Lord Wellington might think fit to grant to the Officeri of his army. Mr. HORNER moved for a copy of the New In denture of his Majesty's Mint.---4)rdered. Mr. W. WYNNE alluded to certain accounts .which he moved for some time since, relative to the contingent estpences of the Navy Office ; and complained that those rehirns had not been made before this time. He further observed, that unless he received a satisfactory explanation, he shbuld move for their production forthwith.' Mr. CHOKER assured the Hon. Gentleman that every possible exertion had been used to set the papers in question ready ; butt' they were of` so Complicated a nature, that at present it had. been found impossible. He trusted the Hon. Gentle ulan would not move for their production forth• with, as that would imply censure where censure was not deserved. Air. W. ‘VyNtis had no Wish to imply censure any where ;- all he wanted was the Accounts, and if the Hon. Secretary would. Put him in a Way to get the information he wanted in a way attended with less trouble, he would adopt 'it.---Here the subject dropped: 1.).
