IRISH OFFICES ABoLI TION BILL.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT, in consequence of the
leave he had yesterday obtained, brought up a Bill
for abolishing. certain Offices in the Custom-house
Department m Ireland, and for abolishing and
regmbstiag ctheire I the nature of which Bill Iroise,
already detailed. On the Motion of the Right
Hon. Baronet, it was read a first
Sir JOHN! NEWPORT they said, that in rising
to move the second reading of the Bill on Tuesday
next, he thought it necessary to state to the House,
that the recommendations of the Commissioners ol
Inqairy, so far as de vended upon the Executive
Government of Ireland, had been alread:, carried
into effeit, or were in a train of being so as speedi-
ly as possible. Most of them, hitiwevn, were com-
prised in this Bill now brought into the House, but
for one or two others it would be necessary to have
other ails introduced. Every mans would be used
to bring the whole of the ►ecommendatio•,4 of the
Commissioners before Parliament, and to he car-
speedily into execution by the Executive Go-
vernment of that pan of the United Kingdom to
which they applied
itihe Bill was then ordered to be read a second
time on Tuesday next, and to be committed.

CORN INTERCOURSE BILL.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved—" That the
House do go into a Committee to consider of the
Aft of last Session, entitled as abnve."
The Honie accordingly went into a Committee ;
and

.Sri JOHN NEWPORT stared, that yesterday
he had mentioned, in a few words, the objetrt of the
Motion which he had now made; and for the sake
of perspicuity, he should again notice, that trim
the general of the wording of the Bill alluded to,
considerable doubts were enter sines!, as to whether
the Mk did not extend to a point which was not in
the contemplation of the Lei,islature, or of those
who originally suggested it. He meant as to the
introduelion foreign corn or Hour, through a cir-
cuitous method, from one country to deo other, in a
manner that was by no means desirable; and
therefore it was that he submitted, that there
should be a resolution of the Committee, as to the
propriety of explaining the former one, and declar-
ing that it should extend to grain or flour, the pro-
duce of Great Britain and Ireland only.
In answer to a question from Lord Porchester,
the Right Honourable Baronet stated, that it was
not his intention, in the said Bill, to meddle with
malt.

The House resumed, after the said resolution had
met tbeir concurrerce.
Mr. HOBHOUSE brought up the Report, and
moved for leave to bring in a Bill to declare the
meaning of certain provisions in the Ad of last Ses-
sion, entitled, " An Ad to permit the importation
ot every species of grain between Great Britain and
Ireland, for the purpose et extend ng it to grain,
the ?rowth of these countries only."
the resolution was accordingly agreed to, and
leave was given to bring in a Bill.

HAMEL CAWTIIORNE.
Viscount HOWICK begged leave to recall to the
recolleaion of an Hon. Member, who had given
notice of a Motion for Wednesday next, that that
day had been appointed fur the consideration of
the Army Estimates, which might occasion con-
siderable discussion ; and therefore he should suAii
gest the propriety of the Hon. General agreeing to
a further postponement of said Motion.
..„....

Gen. said, he should feel considerably
embarrassed in proposing 4 second postponement of
the Motion, of which he had already twice given
notice. l'he Motion which he was to make, cer-
tainly only referred to the privileges of the House
itself, but the one which the Noble Lord alluded to,
viz. the consideration of 10. e Army Estimates, was,
indeed, a subjed of great national importance, and,
on that account, he should consent to withdraw his
Motion, and postpone it to the first open day. He
then concluded with naming Friday neat.
Colonel CAW I'HORNh then rose and observed,
that were the Motion only tv be looked upon as re-
feet ing es himself, no great incoiivonience would be
incurred; but he was sure that when the House
con adered the magnitude of tile objet in view, by
the Hon. General's intended Motion, they could not
with propriety consent to further delay. He did
agree with the Noble Lord, that the consideration
of the Army Estimates was of very material im-
portance, but, at the same time, as the Motion in
which he (Colonel Cawthorne) Was implicated, bad
been already postponed on a former occasion and,
as it had had ori‘gnally the precedency, he could not
help thinking, that it ought to be brought forward
previous to that other one on the Jay last appointed.
Viscount HOWICIE, again enforced the superior
importance of the consideration of the Army Esti.
Mites ; and added, that when the Motion of the
Hon. General was brought forward, the House
might, perhaps, feel itself under tile necessity of
considering it upon general principles, so that it
might probably else occasion discussion, by giving
rise to various opinions. As the Hon. Colonel ha
not stated that any personal incoovenience would
