EMIGRATION.

glesea, against any alteration in the Welsh Judicature.

Mr. HUME presented a petition from Thurles, in the
county of Tipperary, against the Grand Jury (Ireland)
Assessments.

Air. O'CONNELL said he‘took shame to himself in
not having before now brought in a Bill to do away with
the system of which the petitioners complained, but be had
waited iu hopes that Ministers would have introduced some
measure on the subject. He would, however, not wait
much longer before he took some step to do away with the
plunder occasioned by Grand Jury Assessments.

rishes in the county of Wexford, praying that a fund for

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
the House went into a Committee of Supply.
SALARIES OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.

On the question that the Order of the Day for the
House resolving itself into a Committee of Supply he read,
Sir J. GRAHAM said he had given notice of his inten-
tion to move, on the question of the House resolving itself
into a Committee of Supply, for "an account of all sa •
lades, profits, pay, fees, and emoluments, whether civil or
military, held and enjoyed by each of the Members of the
Privy Council." He was most anxious to submit that mo-
tion, and was aware that he had a right to do so upon the
present occasion. At the same time he was unwilling to
impede the progress of public business. He thought that
the right of moving amendments upon the question, that
the House do resolve itself into a Committee of supply,
should be exercised cautiously and sparingly, and only upon
important occasions. He was therefore anxious to come
to an arrangement with the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
which would render it unnecessary for him to move an
amendment upon the question before the House. He would
not oppose the House going into Committee, on the un-
derstanding that the House would resume at ten o'clock,
to enable him to submit his motion.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if
ke must choose between going into a Committee for four
hours and a half, and not going into it at all, he would de-
clare for the former.

Mr. HUME thought the most fitting time for moving
amendments was when the public money was about to be
voted away.
Sir J. YORKE could not understand why the motion
of the Hon. Member for Cumberland was to be ol►posed
at all.—(Hear.)—lt appeared to him the most plain-sail-
ing questio❑ that had eve been brought forward.—(Hear,
and a laugh.)
Sir J. NEWPORT could not, for the life of him, under-
stand why the motion was to be refuscd, unless it were on
the principle of resisting the production of papers which
could throw a light on the manner in which the public
money was expended.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected
to the form, and not to the substance, of the motion. He
was quite will►ng to [Tree to a motion in the following
form, which would give the Hon. Baronet all the infurma.
tion he required :—An account of all salaries, profits, pay,
tees, and emoluments, whether civil or military, of all
public officers, from the sth of January, 1829, to the sth
January, 1830, specifying with each name the total
amount received by each individual, and distinguishing the
various sources fro►r. which the same is derived."—( Hear.)

Sir J. GRAHAM would hereafter state his reasons
for preferring the form in which he had drawn up his
motion.

The Order of the Day was then read, and the House re-
solved itself into a
COMAHTTEE OF SUPPLY.

Sir G. CLERK in the Chair.
Mr. G. DAWSON proceeded to move the various items
of the miscellaneous estimates.

12,0001. to make good the deficiencies of the fee fund
of the Home Secretary.—Agreed to.
17,000/. to make good the deficiencies of the fee fund
of the Foreign Secretary.

Mr. HUSIE said that the expenses of this department
hid doubled since 1797.

Mr. G. DAWSON justified the expenditure, in conse-
quence of our being obliged to send messengers to every
part of Europe.—The resolution was agreed to.
The next resolution was tOr the sum of 17,500/. to
make good the deficiency in the fee-fund of the Colonial
department.
Mr. HUllilE could not say whether the different indiyi-
