Mr. BARROW stated that he should prefer a committee
of that house to a oononiesion, believing that the report of
the former would be zoom satisfactory.
Sir C. NAPIER briefly replied, and expressed his inten-

Admiralty.

The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a
bill to simplify the forma. and to diminish the eipenae of

VALUATION (IRELAND).
Mr. OROGAN moved " That this home do resolve it/elf
into a oomseltese to consider of an address to her Majesty,
praying Qat she will be greolonsly pleased to give directions
that the retsperwe of Ireland be relieved from one-half of

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would
seem his hon. friend that be would give the subject all the
attention it so eminently deserved, and inform him as soon as
it was In his power of the decision of the government. He
admitted that the subject deserved attention, but he thought
it would not be becoming In him to call on the house to per-
mit en addition to be made to the charge on the consolidated
fend without having had sufficient time to consider the
subject.
Mr. M'CANN thought that they could not prom the
Chancellor of the Exchequer further than he had stated, and
be bad no doubt when the subject was considered juitke
would be dams.

Mr MACARTRY suggested to the Chancellor to con-
elder whether there might not be a saving of expense to the
country by tasking& septennial instead of an annual valua-
tion, from which no particular advantage was derived.
Mr. GROGAN accepted the suggestion of the govern-
ment, and was content to leave the matter la the hands of the

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILL.

Mr. LOCKE moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. HORSFALL moved that it be road a second time that
day six months. The question wee en important one. He
concurred with those who &abed to have uniformity of
weights end measurer but he differed with them in the
mod* by which they proposed to carry it out. The object of
the bill wee to make it compulsory to sell every description of
rain and fruit by measure. The bra. gentleman who had
charge of the bill could not be swore that in most of the
large towns of England and every town in Ireland, wheat
wee sold by weight. The introduction of such a measure r
this, therefore, would moue • perfect revolution.
Mr. PAGET seconded the amendment, observing that,
from his own knowledge and all the inquiries he had made
amongst desists, he wee quite convinoed that the best mode
of rolling wee by weight.
The bill was pureed by Mn. Adams Mr. M 'Cann, and
Mr. Kirk, end supported by Mr. Bess and Sir J. Shelley.
Mr. HENLEY rid it was Impossible to overrate the im-
portance of the question raised by this bill, nor could the
difficulties that surrounded It be overstated. The deputation
which had waited upon him on the subject had convinced
him more than ever that they were not yet in a position to
legislate at all upon this subject. Another party were in
favour not merely of • system of weights, bat of • decimal
system. Would they introduce • system of weights new,
and then in a short time adopt • decimal system ? That, he
thought, would be a very inconvenient mune. (Hear.)
Another party were in favour of a system of measures com-
bined with weight. But bow could they get uniformity
when different markets adopted different weights Y In the
preseot conflicting state of opinion he hoped the hon. gentle-
man would withdraw his bill. (Her, hear.)
Mr. LOCKE said the object of the first clause was not
quite what had been supposed. It wee only trended by
that clause to enact that corn should be sold by measure, but
ft was added cc abundante canteld that if the weight was in
any toss added, the sale should nevertheless be told to have
bens by measure. He considered that the bill wee • very
respectable one—(a laugh)—but still if they struck out the
first clause
lailpither than would be sufficient good in it to
justify the ure is paring it into a law. (Hear.)
Mr. PAC E supported the bill.
The house then divided:
