The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—In reply
to the question of the hon. member for Dumfries, as to
whether the government intended, he conformity with the re-
solution come to by the Howe of Commons, to ertablish a de-
pertinent of justice, observed that this was another tneganoe
added to those he quaked on a former occasion, in which
resobitiout of the house had failed to produce any practical
raw* end that not from may want of respect on the part of
the mhtietr, bat probably from the difficulties in the way of
acting upon them. He was not aware of the reasons which
induced hie predeceseors not to act upon the resolution in
question ; bat for himself he should be prepared to submit •
vote for the establishment of such a department—(hear, hear)
—provided he could be furnished with any satisfactory defini-
tion and description of the duties It was to undertake, which at
present he had not been. (Hear.) The hon. baronet oppo-
site had made en inquiry upon another sabject of more im-
and of greater public interest, via., whet were' the
lettin°N Intentions of the government with respect to the Inoened
question of church rates--(bear)—med the hon. baronet
seemed to consider that it was their duty immextisitell to in.
Undoes a mesanni to carry his views lei orteneiln. He (the
Clumeellor of the Exchequer) was not prepared to say that
it was their intend°n during the puma 11111‘00 to introduce
any reassure on the subject of church rut sg ; at the same
time they (the government) did not altogether relinquish
the hope of anteing at • settlement, and ft would
be his duty to take the sanest opportunity, when
parliament re-assembled, of Inking the so lotion of
rellement Se a saanoppliutuesia time lellk .in
the hope that tt wean be accepted as a satisthe Wry solution
of that long controverted question. (Cheers.) In reference
to the subject inliroduesd by the hen. gentleman below the
gangway (Mr. Ponder) as to the peeled at whit* the sittings
of t should be reamed, no doubt volt argument,
be adduced in favour of their reaseemblingat a different
of the year from that at which they 110 n now wens-
to 00017311111•1 the reeks. He believed the origin of
their assembling when they did was the union with Ireland,
for the COIIIIIMININI of Irish members at • time adieu the
enneenniealite with Mind was much less rape/ than in
them VI net the ears generally alleged—tic passion
title of ads g_ematry and members of parliament for the
weep of field. Obould the qualm be brought Wine the
hones by • direct motion, he and his colleagues wield give
it their best ommideration, with a view to the remedying
any real inconvenienoe which the existing practice might
maim He might remind the hon. gentleman, however,
that they bad bad an autumn sitting in the present asseion,
and, though it was not protracted, it was attended with all
the inconvenience attending a disturbance of the plans and
habit, of hon. members. It should be borne in mind that
those who were now responsible for the government of the
(*entry did not enter upon their poets until nearly the
middle of the session. He (Mr. Disraeli) did not take his
seat upon that (the government) bench until the middle of
March, and since then they had been called upon to deal
with many important questions, and their time bad been fully
occupied; and to meat again as early as November or
December would scarcely be fair to them. (" Hear, hear,"
and • laugh.) They ought to have time during the autumn
to their measures for the ensuing session. He was
not theory to the change the hon. member de-
eired,=ed in theory
thought at present there were many valid rea-
KM Mail* In adoption.

Lord J. RUSSELL was inclined to think as • general
custom it would be an improvement if they were to easemble
in edam instead of at the commenimment of the year--
(chars, and " No, n&')—but oombined with the eerier
meeting of perliamant there should be other arrangements
in regard to the ptagrw of public business. He remembered
that at cos time Lord Derby proposed that bills which had
proceeded to • last step in one session should be taken up at
that stage in the next. He (Lord J. Russell) was in favour
of that plan, but most of the leading members objected to it
when it wee saggated on grounds that he did not think
very cemotheive.
Mr. 8. WORTLEY inquired when would be the next supply
night, as he had a motion on the paper which he would
then bring forward.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—On Mon-
day morning. (" liesz," and laughter.)
The erotica that theism* M its rising do adjourn to Mon-
day wee then pat endeared to.
