LIIP.ERIAL PARLIAMENT.

. MOUSE OF COMMONS.
SATURDAY, FM 19.
The SPEAKER took the ('hair at half past three,
206 Members being present, when the House pro-
cetded to a ballot, but only forty-one qualified
Members were found. The House was then moved
-w adjourn to Monday ; but previously to the ad-
journment, we understand, the Chancellor of the
Eichequer said, that there wzs a necessity to have
recourse to the power vested in the House by the
At of the 36:11 of bis present Mak:sty, which
authorized the House, under circumst.luces similar
to the present, to order an immediate call.—
We uaderstand •that be lamented, in very strong
terms, the necessity which the non-attendance
-of Members created for the ,proposed measune ;
but the inconveniences which had resulted from
that non-attendance were ser;ously great, and the
honour, the char-let:l., agd the reputation of the
Bonn were at stake, for th purpose of putting
:an cud to the eolitimsance 44. such an evil. After
moving the reading of the. ,pi ceedings of A/nil 28,
4797, whicla -sere read accordingly, he then 'moved,
-as we understand, that the House should be called
over on Mond4 nest at half past three o'clock, and
.the names of all thole Members who did not attend
should be set aside for consideration on a future
day, v:herroon sufficient excuses not being given,
the Members so onescused should be taken into
custody by the Serjeaut at Arms.
The House then adjouined•to Mond ads.
