no supplies had yet heels granted except for the
Orval servi:•es, slid they were granted from duties
which had been annually voted for centuries past.
As to any others, it was not intended to ask for
theirs until the estimates were laid before the
House, which would be done in the course perhaps
of a week.
Sir It.'WiLsou objected strongly to granting

Sir T. Litirelpit4Pritt approved of exercising a
constitutional jealousy over the expenditure. But
he could, slot ag►ee to propositions which were
merely trainstisous. In these times of eventful dis-
tress he felt himself bound to oppose any grant of
public money which could be proved to be useless
and wasteful; and he 'would give his support to
she Gentlemen oppealte, whenever they could
succeed in inking out Such a case, but not be-

Colonel DAVIES hoped to see the lion. Member

to sseote Ins support on any question of retrench.
meat. His Honourable Friend did not object
to the want of tstitnatts only, hut to tie
granting of any supplies until some security should
be given of a revision and retrenchment in all the
depatiments. History proved the usefulness of
exercisug jealousy over the expenditure. Had mit
their ancestors frequently put it in use, that House
would not then be sitting; and though the fotincr
!sower of the Crown had been reduced by with-
holding occasionally the supplies, they had still a
great weight of influence to contend with.
Mr. HUMS resented the advice of not adopting
what were called factious observations. Whets he
considtred the conduct of the majority last night,
he must say that it was factious in the highest
degree.--(Lord cries of " Order!";
The SMARMS spoke to order. He had heard
no such word used as factious by any previous
speaker; but if it were so used, it was far more
disorderly to designate the decision of a majority
of that House as factious.

Mr. Hums was very willing to retract the word
factions, and put in the word which had been
used—vexatious. This term he applied to what
had taken place in that House last night. He ap-
plied it to the general conduct of the House, in
thwarting sod neglecting the prayers and feelings
of nine-tenths of the people. He challenged
those -opposite to produce one Petition on their
side of the argument. Supported as he and his
Hon. Friends were, by the majority of the people,
they would steadlestly do their duty, however dis-
pleasing and ungracious it might be to the Gen-
tlemen opposite.
Mr. MANIPIELD denied that he had done any
thing factious or vexatious in voting with the ma-
jority of last night. He differed from the copiuivit
of the Hon. Member as to public sentiment. Judg-
ing iron► die populous town which he represented,
he rather thought that the majoidy of last night de-
cided as the majority of the people would decide.
At any rate it was too much to be told that their
conduct was vexatious to the public.
Sir J. NEWPORT could not vote for his Honour-
able Friend's proposition, because lie thought thst
after the supplies had been voted it was hut justice
for the House to provide the ways and means for
them. At the same time he th ught that the esti-
mates ought to be laid before the House in the
fist week of the Session to rouble the House to
adopt all the means in its power for alleviating the
situatrou of the people. He could not vote for
the proposal of his Honourable Friend, thought
'he was of opinion no other new supplies should he
granted until the House should be in possession of
the estimates.

Mr. J. MARTIN would oppose the motion, had
he no better warrant for it than the proposal for
so doing having been made by his Honourable
Friend (Mr. Creevey.) He expressed his surprise at
the coninuation of measurer known to be thiift-
lets, if not inischie+ous. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer had, on a former occasion admitted
that the method of keeping the public accounts
was too obscure and complicated ; but the Right
