CALL OE THE HOUSE.

Mr. PROTHERUK ruse for the purpose of moving
that the Order for the Call of the House for Friday.
the 24th of April, should be discharged. This he
proposed, on the presumption that the Noble Lord
would not again press on the House any of the
questions which had already been negatived. The
Hon. Gentleman then moved that the Order of the
Day for the Call of the House be read, for the pur-
pose of its being discharged.
Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, that although he
should not object to the motion now proposed, yet
he could not avoid repeating his decided hostility
to every one of the votes for best/ping these grants.
If the Hon. Gentlemen were satisfied with what
had passed, he could not. of course, prevent him
from waiving his opinion; hut as the votes would
be again discussed in the Bill, he should reserve to
himself the right of again expressing his remlution,
not to grant one shilling of the public money to
such purposes.
Mr. PROTHZIIO6.—The Hon. Gentleman had
called on In;;; to say, if he were satisfied with what
hail passed ? His votes were a sufficient proof that
he was not satisfied; but as lie had himself required
from the House that they should be bound by their
former decision, so he should think himself hound
by the opinions expressed that night by a very great
majority. He was of opinion. that the sooner tha
harmony of the House was restored the better; he,
therefore, should persist iu the motion for dis-
charging the Call, to the full confidence that the
votes already objected to should not be pressed.
Mr. TtliitNalr illgteled, that it might be as well
to postpone the motion fur a few days.
Lord CAMTLIRSAGII raid, that it was not his In-
tention to propose those motions again to the consi-
deratiou of the House.
The Order fur calling the House on Fridsy, the
44th, was then read and discharged.
