Tho report on the Committecs. of Supply was brought

Mr. ANSTEY, bovvevn., previous to its reception,
took occasion to compl,,in that 1,500/. and upwards
had been voted for Church purposes in New Zealand.
Mr. HUME also availed himself of the opportunity
to protest against the increase which had taken place is
the miscellaneous estimates, which harl jumped up from
2,000,0001 to 4,000,0001., while the, re at,peared to bo 110
settled principle for their distribution. The only re-
medy for this wa s to grant representative institutions to
the colonies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, when
be was on the Estimates Committee a few years ago,
concurred with him in that opinion. Upon the subject
of the National Gallery ho was glad to know that the
Government were anxious to. find a new site for that
building, but .he would suggest to • them that Ken-
sington Palace could be so altered and designed
as to make a most admirable printing gallery without
putting the country to any addhional expense. The
palace
alne was beautifully situated, and he was satisfied that
-
the plan ho was proposing would meet with the goners"
approval of the people.- Seeing the greet interest which
her Majesty and the Prince Albert took in the progress
of art in this country, he Was equally convinced that he
objection would be found to his suggestion in that
quarter.—(Hear, hear.)

The CHAINCELLO-li3Of the EXCHEQUER said, her
Majesty's Government would .always be ready to give
their beat attention to any well-matured scheme tor per
paring a receptacle for the works of art which the
country posetsses, and the increased treasures which
were likely to result from the erection of such an edifice.
—(Hear, hear.) Ho was rejoiced to find that this W 5
a question thit was exciting a considerable and growing
interest in the public mind, while, independently of that,
very recent circumstances, such as the legacy of the
late Mr. Tamer, and other instances of libeielity, would
alone force the subject upon the attention of the Go"
vernrnent, even if the Government was not already dis-
posed to give it all the consideration and care that 3
deserved. The House would agree with him that i 6
was of critical importance that no mistake should
he made in the matter this time.—(Clear, hear.) There,
was in the iliqeeaition of the country and the genet''"`
opinion which prevailed in favour of this subject awl
reason to encourage a hope that they might tat last ee'
coinelish something that wculd be worthy of the nation.
—(Hear, hear.) The Hoe. Gentleman, for instance,'
had referred.to the great interest which the qeeen and
the Prince took in this subject, and he eon'
fessed himself, that it was to the interest el
taken in such a great quarter that he looked
for success in this question, tied if some of the resourceo
and some of the taste and judgment that were called into,
action last year by those remarkable events which 041;
curred in reference to the Exhibition of the Arts and
Industry of all Nations can only be enlisted in all!,
cause ho should nut despair of success.—(Hear, beef./

means of success in carrying out this great undertaleipg;
--(Bear, hear.) It remained only for him to say that
the subject still occupied the attention of the Govern'
meet, and he was permitted to add that of his ROB'
Highness too.—(Hear, Leer.) He trusted, therelorel
that when the proper period arrived Government wear.;
bo enabled to lay before Parliament a plan which !Nee'
meet with the approbation of the country.
Mr. W. EWART said the Commission which had in;
'
veAigated this iaterestieg subject consisted of Dclie
Cockburn, Sir Charles Eastlake Mr. Viestmacett, an
other gentlemen connected with the arts. The C01,,r;
missioners abstained from making the ggeil r
which his Honourable Friend the Member fflo
Montrose had thrown out, because they could not
so un'il there lied bean expressed a clear and
unmistakable feeling on the part of the Crown'
that it was willing to assent to it.—(Hear, hear.) the
~
Commissioners were,. therefore, unanimous in recout
mending a site that faced the Uxbridge-road, and whieh
.
stood on a tract of land that could be converted into e:
ornamental garden, and made the receptacle for Ott
tues and ,such like works of .rt.—(Haar.) The next pisa!
which they proposed was that of adopting Kensiogtoh
as the site, which was equally favourable, and he Wee
glad to hear that the whole subkct, together with the
report of. the Commission, now occupied the serious a"
tention of the Government.—(Hear, hear,)
The subject then dropped.
On the vote for the purpose of the Emigration COW

miFsicners,
Mr. HUME called the attention of the Geyer:3ol:s!
the numbers of people ar::xions to be conveyed tb_sed to
tralia. Though as a general rule ho. was Oro did
expending the public money in this manner, Y.et,,,.fectly
think that this was an exception, and he was Pran for
ready to give his support to any well-natured who
conveying the surplus population of these iel ua
would he
were willing to go to Australia, where they

Mr. GROGAN also joined in pressing Wig s_
the attention of the Conial-office.
Mr. MONSELL considered that some
plan of e
gration would go far to relieve the distressed state
Ireland. inoii
Sir J. PAKINGTON said, a 3 he had several. ti.o.nec:

l from the Hon. Member
to the remark which had
precededf him, he could only say,

as ho had said before, that the MI proportion of the
emigrants convoyed. by the Emigration Commission was
largely in advar.c.e of the other parts of the kingdom.

On the motion for going into Committee of Sapplk.s
Sir B. HALL male an explanation relcting to
speech of yesterday on the Cspitular Estates Bill, in toe
course of which he had cited the Cathedral of Rochester
as ono where the triennial visitation required by th.
statutes had never been made. The Bishop of Roshest"
heti called upon him.this meriting, and while cot:apish:l
of a report which had to some extent misstated
what ho (Sir B. Hall) had said, had acknowledged
that he had not made a triennial visitation of the cam
thedral, but had included it in his triennial visitation
his diocese.

Mr. T. DUNCOMI3E moved that the Howe resell
,i,self into a Ccmmitttee on the po4-horse duty,

.o the modification of the same. The case of the
postmasters was one which was deserving of the sal;

he brought in had increased the duty which they 1381.1;

before. Ho had had the honour, accompanied by, a huh,

Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had listened (Nato-I'II4TO
with great attention to their representations, but as
