ORDNANCE STORES.

Sir G. PECHELL moved for a continuation of the
returns of 1848 of the Ordnance Stores in hand.

Col. DIJNNE hoped that the gallant member would
defer his motion till the appointment of his successor.
After some conversation, the gallery was cleared for a
division, but their being only thirty members, the motion
fell through, and the house immediately adjourned.

RE- APPEARANCE OF LORD PALMERSTON. - Lord
Palmerston entered the house just before the
discussion on the Ministerial Crisis terminated, and took
his seat in his usual position on the first row beyond the
gangway on the Opposition side.
There was a considerable change for the worse in his
appearance since he was last seen in the house ; his face
looked pale and haggard, and he seemed to walk with
difficulty.
