Mr. COWPER said the Board of Admiralty were anziola
to take charge of, and send out, for the use of the army 4
the East, such parcels and luxuries, consigned by mute
persons, as they esuld not obtain in any other way; sod
they had secordingly given instructions to the dockyards 4
Deptford, Portsmouth, and Plymouth, that any packages
directed to any one in the service at Scutari, or Selektive,
should be received. Of course, this power of sending oat
parcels was limited—first of all, by the number of ships
which they were ablelto hire ; and secondly, by the poems
of landing which Beeklava harbour afforded when tlio
goods arrived there. With regard to consignments to
Smyrna, there would be no objection to take parcels there
also, when the proper arrangements were completed. As
to the appointment of Captain Heath, Admiral Lyons was
authorised to make such arrangements as be might think ft,

Lord PALi'IERSTON said—Sir, I rise to make, in a
formal
convey no new in formation to them, and which would have
been made on Tuesday last, if it were not for the accidental
circumstance of the Mouse of Lords having adjourned over
that day. I mean, it. at in consequence of what pitied in
this house on Monday Light, her Majesty's government
felt it to be their duty tc tender the resignation of their
offices to her Majesty, and that her Majesty has been gre.
oiously pleased to accept that resignation, and that they
hold their offiCell only for the transaction of public business
till their successors are appointed. Under these circum-
stances, the house will naturally feel that it would be ia.
convenient to proceed to the despatch of public business. y
propose, therefore, that the house, at its rising, should
adjourn till to-morrow. My reason for not proposing
a longer adjournment is, that I understand from you,
sir, that the honourable and gallant member for West-
minster, who has been voted the thanks of the home,
has signified his intention of being present in the house to-
morrow. (Cheers.) lam sure I should be doing violence
to the feelings of the house if I were to interpose ►y a
longer adjournment, and thus deprive them of the earliest
opportunity of testifying to him their sense of his distin-
guished and brilliant services. (Cheers.) There is also the
bill which my right hon. friend (Sir G. Grey) introduced
day or two ago, for carrying into effect the treaty with the
Vnited States; and if there be no disposition on the part of
any member to eater upon a discussion of that bill, it would
be for the convenience and interest of the country if the
house were to allow that bill to proceed another stage.
(Heer, hear.) I hope that in proposing we should meet
to-morrow for the purpose I have mentioned, the house will
feel that, in the present state of affairs, any other kind of
business would not be a fitting subject for consideration.
(Hear, hear.) I therefore move that the house at its rising
do adjourn till to-morrow.
