HEALTH OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.

Mr. RAILLIE said be was aware the question he was
about to nit was • delicate one, but he trusted that the public
inconvenience arising from toe suspension of all business in
the Court ;at Caaacery would be his excuse. He wished to
know when it was expected that the L•ird Chancellor would
be able to resume his attendance in curt.
Sir G. GREY believed it was will known that the
Loyd Chancellor had been suffering fur the last few weeks
under sir. re inaispasition; but the hon. member would be
happy to hear that his lordship was now recoviring.
(Cheers.) He was &licitly so well as to transact business at
his own holm, although not able to resume the business of
his court. At toe commencement of last term it was an-
nounced that his lordship would hear any can which was of
an urgent minute at his hot-e. He had done go in one case,
and had given a most able judgment, and was now engaged
on another case of a 'similar nature. (Hear, Dear.)

NATIONS.
In answer to Mr. AanwatonT

Mr. LABODCHERR said be did not anticipate that it
would be his duty to ask parliament to interfere in the con-
duct of the exposidoo, which would depend entirely on
voluetary contributions. The only way in which he should
ask parlament to interfere would perhaps be is insert a
clause in the R•gistry of Designs Act, protecting from
piracy all napatested designs that might be exhibited at the
expositior. In answer to the second question, he objected to
answering quiriont oleo general a nature, but being him-
self one of the COMIlillii00•11, be ec.uld mew* the hon.
31{41110tr that nothing was further from their intention than
to apply to the treasury for an advance—(Mar, hear) —ard
U they did, he believed that government would be =et un-
willing to entertain it. (liem, hear.) The only expense to
which the country would be pat would be the trifling ex•
pease incidental to the cuyytag on deoenenitsioss.

sioners w.ll give the purchaser the option of paying, ter the

posed of," had bees limed with the mamas of her Majesty's
goverment. Whether a parliamentary title would, under
