praying for a revision of the parochial school system in

Mr. HUME presented a petition from native inhabi-

inquired into by Parliament ; also a petition from Mr.
Grantley Berkeley, praying for an investigation into
the practices at the last election for West Gloucester,
On the motion of Mr. GRANVILL BERKELEY,
the petition was read at the table.
The SPEAKER said he was of opinion that it was
open to the same objection as the last petition, which
was presented to the House on the same subject. as it
questioned the validity of the return of the Member for
West Gloucester • it ought, therefore, to have been
presented by, the day fixed by the house for the recep-
tion of election petitions.
Mr. HUME did not see how they could close the
door against petitions containing such allegations.
Mr. HILDYARD thought if they received the pe-
tition they would depart from the salutary practice
-which had been adopted by the house.
After a few words from Mr. T. DIINCOMBE, Mr.
.kIUME consented to withdraw the petition.
Sri J. PAKINGTON presented a petition from
Liverpool, and another from Jamaica, complaining of
the dreadful distress in that colony, and praying for
relief.

Court of Session of Scotland.

Scotland.

THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE CHANCELLOR
OF THE EXCHEQUER.
In reply to Mr. HUME in regard to the order in which
the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended to move his
resolution,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—I un-
derstood it was the general wish of the house that the
discussion should be taken on the whole financial scheme
which would be laid before them. I understood that was
the general wish of the house; it was certainly the wish of
the Government. That was the reason why I placed all the
resolutions on the table—that there should be placed
before the committee the whole of the measures which
we propose. It will be necessary, of course, formally
to take the decision of the house on the first resolution.
We shall look on the decision of the house on that reso-
lution as conclusive as to the general policy recommended
to the house by the Government.
Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that to-morrow he
would move as an amendment to the right hon. gentle-
man's first resolution, that the consideration of the
whole subject of the budget be postponed until after
Christmas.
The CHANCELLOR of. the EXCHEQUER said
there was a controversy the other night in the house
whether the first resolution as to the house tax should
be proposed in a committee of ways and means, or in a
committee on the bill. Having consulted the highest
authorities on the subject, he found that it might be
considered in either committee. He therefore proposed
to go into a committee of ways and means on the house
tax, and subsequently on the tea duties to move to go
into a committee on the act.
