)Ir. BROLGII.AIII, (on our re-entering the House, was on
his lege, declaring) when Ike hill next came forward be should
expose the system of private bill jobbing.
Mr. CALCRAF I' was surprised at this libellons insinuation.
The subject of a preceding night (the Calcutta Bankers' l'eti-
lion) was much more Noce ntsful from the solicitations of an
hon. gentleman, than from all the eloquence, nit, and s.. calm
of the learned member.—(l leer! )
The bill was thee read a second time, and ordered to be
committed,
HVIISI A ASE.—Sir J. MACINTOSH enquired whether
the Ministers had received the copy of a Russian Lkase re-
►pecting the extravagant pretensions of the Court of Rossia
regarding certain claims of the sea towards the American coast ?
Lord LONDON DERRY replied that such copy haul been
received. The English government haul protested against the
principle of the Ukase, at the save time stating the readiness of
his Majesty's ofinisters to promote amicable uegociations on
the subject.
Mr. AV. SMITH moved that an artier of the Court of Ex-
chequer respecting Extents in Aid be printed.—Ordered.
Mr. Ali BUItINOT moved that the House go into a Com-
mittee of Supply.
On the question having been put,
Mr. BERN A ad erted to the distresses in 1 reland. 150,0001.
had been voted; between 400,000 and 500,000 persons were
ill It slats Of utter stars anion, and they ought to adopt no mea-
sures till effectual repel' wa. affirdt l to Ireland. Ile now
wished to know whether the Co% rament intended to do any
thin 4 more ?
Mr. COL LBURN said, tart the sums already given by the
House to promote work amongst the poor bad been effectual.
He thought the measures already to►en by the House and the
Government would go a great way to accomplish the objects
Mr. 1). BROWNE said, provisions were never more cheap
than now In Ireland ; indeed Ireland had to complain of super-
abundance ; and yet at that moment cargoes of provisions were
sent thither. Also, corn and provisions were exported from
Ireland to England. Ile did not very well uuderstatid nil the
arena of these transactions.
Mr. V. FITZGERALD was hurt that the Right Hon. Gentle-
1113t1 should step forward at such a time to throw a doubt as to
the alleged distress iu Ireland. The distress had been under-
stated.
After some remarks from Sir J. Newport, Stc. the House re-
solved itself into the Committee of Supply.
blr.All UUTHN 01' Moved the first resolution—that 700,0001.
be granted to meet the Army Extraordinaries. The Committee
were aware that considerable redactions had taken place ;
however, he should give env explanation that might be required.
Mr. 11101 E said, lie did not mean to deny that considerable
reduction* had taken place. Savings had hero effected. lie
also complimented the imposed mode of making the charges
regarding the Colonies ; but in the Colonies great retrenchments
were required. The system pursued towards the Caudal; was
peculiarly bad. The hon. gentleman entered at length into a
review of the items of expenditure, constituting the proposed
vote of 700,0001. for the Army Ettraurdinsries. He psi-lieu-
lady commented on the salaries paid to the agents in the colo-
nies, and proposed to reduce the agent at the Cape 5001. at the
Mauritus the same sum, at Ceylon 12001. at the luntan Islands
5031: and at various* others of the colonies, so as to make the
v.hule cednetion on this head, 60001. and he mused ell amend-
ment to that effect.
Mr. WILMOT opposed the proposed reduction, as 111C011116-
tent with the public,. services.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT also defended the estimates as they at
present stood, and observed, that whoever had the honour of
submitting the estimates next year, wuold have further reduc-
tions to propose.
Colonel I) t VIS supported the amendment.
blr. GOULBURN supported the original grant.
Mr. BENNET was in favour of the amendment.
