TEE ESTIMATES.

Mr. COBDEN askodWl;aiierthaZile lord intended to
proceed with the estimates on Thursday next, or telt a vote
of supply ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed to go on with the
votes on Thursday.
Mr. E. DENISON asked what was the character of the
votes the noble lord proposed to take ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said he proposed to take, in regular
order, the naval estimates which had not been concluded,
and afterwards he would propose to protest with the other
votes in their regular order.

Mr. HillaiiigcoznpiXined that the annual financial
accounts had not been deli d this year as early as they
usually were.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was sorry
the accounts had not been delivered, but they would be in
the beads of hon. members as soon as possible.
Mr. BRIGHT said he had understood the noble lord to
state that be would bring on the naval 'nitwit, son Thine-
day. Would the noble lord consent to an understand-
ing that no other estimates but those should be
proceeded with en that night, in order that the
miscellaneous estimates might not be taken before Friday or
IL•uday
Lord J. RUSSELL said the naval estimates only would
be his •a on Thursday, and that the miscellaneous estimates
would not be taken until the Monday following. (Hear.)
Col. SIBTHORP expressed a hope that, whether the hon.
member for Manchester or for Lincoln attended or absented
himself, the Ruble lord would not be deterred by any
circumstance of that kind from going on with the estimates,
because it was of much more importance to attend to the
public bunnies of the country than to the presence or ab-
sence of any hon. member. (A laugh.)
THE ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS.
Sir B. HALL begged to ask the noble lord, the first lord
of the treasury, certain questions of which he had given him
notice. It appeared from a paper he held in hie hand,
containing tho cages detern•ined by the judges In
the matter of appeals against the assessed taxes,
that in 1842 the Bishop of Butter left hist palace,
and in 1844 refused to pay the assessed taxes, is
consequence of his absence from his episcopal residence.
This fact in keel( proved that the bishop had not resided at
the palace from 1842. The questions he wished to ask were
time :

proving house at Eseter,"—that that had been advanced cut
of a sum standing to the credit of the ere of Exeter, and
that the bishop could himself have drawn that aunt daring

count of the rents from various sources which the dignitaries
of the church derived, or whether he knew upon what data
lA2 larger sets bed been reduced, and money bad been paid
over to the pooror sees? Re was anxious to emertaln what
really was the property of the archbishops and bishops ; and
perhaps, in entwines the question, the noble I.rd would
state whether any late report had been bested by the sale-
'timbal commissioners? . _ _

ecclesiastical commixdoners bad reosived in 1844 a return
