NOTICES OF MOTION.
TILE ADMIRALTY.

Sir B. HALL said the house would recollect that that
day week he placed a notice on the paper with reference to
the affairs of the Board of Admiralty, and the late Secre-
tary of the Board of Admiralty expressed an earnest hope
that he should be allowed to tie an early day for bringing
the subject before the house. The motion stood for Tues-
day next, but before it stood mations by his hon. friend the
member for Tavistock and his hon. friend the mem-
ber for the Tower Hand eta. He trusted that they would
allow him to have precedence on that occasion.
Mr. STAFFORD trusted the hon. members would
listen to that appeal, and that the noble lord (J. Russell)
would use his influence, because two of the members of the
late hoard were also members of the present Board of
Admiralty, and were therefore in some degree affected by
the motion. . .

—Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to say that he hoped
his hon. friends would Klee way.
Mr. It. J. PHILLIMORE said he should be sorry to in-
terpose any obstacle. He should be willing to act an ac-
cordance with the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets.

Sir W. CLAY said he wished to pay respect to the house,
but be was bound to say that this was a very unusual spplie
cation. In ordinary circumstances applications were made
to members to withdraw their notices, but this was an
application for another:notice. If men;bers who had mo-
tions wore to. be appealed to by other members who thought
they had other motions of greater importance, he did not
see the reason for a ballot. If the noble lord would give
him some other day, so that he might be surd of bringing
for ward his motion, ho would give way.
Later in the evening the hon. baronet and Mr. Philli•
more announced their willingness to give way to Sir B.
Hall.
HACKNEY CARRIAGES IN LONDON.

Mr. ii•FiTtbigavonOiiCetitit on Thursday next he
should move for leave to bring in a bill for the better regu-
lation of hackney carriages within the metropolis.
