COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

Sir G. ARRENDF:R moved, That the Order
of the Day be rind for the House resolving itself
into a Conimittre of Supply, with a view to grant
the Vote of Seaturn for the present year.
Mr. TIERNEY sug„orsied the propriety of some
further time bring allowed before a question of sit
much importance was brought forward, especially
as the House was at present so thinly attended, and
a% it had been arranged that no business of a private
nature should be taken into consideration after fire
o'clock.

Sr G. WARKENDER said, that he would not
have brought forward this motion so early, but that
the estimates which he was ahnut to submit to the
Howe were not of such a stature as would be likely
to give rise to any discussion or difference of
opinion.
The SPEAKER ob•ereed, that it was true the
House had determined that no business of a private
nature should he introduced after live o'i lock, and
that, as it snigst he found inconvenient iiithe course
of next week, as well as immediately after the holi-
days, if the House ware to recur to its former re-
gulation of appoiliting half-past four as the latest
time for private business, lie thought it would Alie
Inure convenient if the Hon. Dlemul►er were in post-
pone his notice of inoti 111 l until live o'clock.—(llcar,

under►tood that there now was business of a private
nature, which might engage the atientiou of the
House until there should he a fuller Lttendauce of
