THEATRICAL ENTERTAINMENTS.

Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave noticetil:lto;l'hurs-
day next he should move a resolution to the following
effect :—That it was the opinion of that House
that no restrictions should be placed upon any
house 3 of thea,rical entertainment within the City
of Westminster, that were not placed upon the
other houses of theatrical entertainment in London.
The Hon. Member also gave notice, that on Thursday,
the sth of March, he should move a resolution, the
effect of which would be to enable parties to give relief
to poor out of workhouses.

Mr. HU ME gave notice that on Friday he should move
for dispatches reLtive to Canada, and he should also call
the attention of the House to a petition relative to the
Burmese prize-money, and to the delay that had taken
p!ace in the distribution of the Deccan prize-money.

LIGHTING THE HOUSE.
Sir F. TRENCH stated that on Thursday he
should call the attention of the House to the se-
veral misrepresentations made in one of its Orders,
for the purpose of enabling hint to appeal to the
House upon the subject of the manner in which
it was at present lighted. He was induced to
adopt this course in consequence of understanding
that there was now on foot a plan by certain philosophers
for introducing a new philosophic light.—(Laughter.)
In his own justification he must say that the present
chandeliers had been robbed of no less than 60 lights,
and he trustA that those Members who had witnessed
the present moonlight tranquillity of the galleries would
attend and give him tbeir support on Thursday next.—
( Laughter.)
THE STEWARDSHIP OF DENBIGH.

Mr. W. NV. W YNN observed that upon Thurs-
day last the attention of the House had been called
by the Hon. Member for Chester to the circumstances
under which lie (Mr. W) had been re-appointed to the
Stewardship of Denbigh. He (Mr. W.) had upon that
occasion given an explanation of the circumstances under
which it took place, but he understood that the
Honourable Member for Chester considered it
necessary that further explanation should take place.—
(After a few further remarks, which were quite inaudible
in the gallery, the Hon. Member retired.)
Mr. HUME apprehended that the course now to be
taken, ought to be the same as that taken on the late
occasion by the appointment of a Committee.—
(Cheers.) He understood the Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber near him was to give notice to-day that he should
move for the appointment of a Committee to investi-
gate the matter.
Mr. JERVIS said that it certainly was his intention
to give notice this evening of a motion for Thursday,
and he had intimated that to the Right Hon. Gentleman,
but as he came to the House he was informed that it
was the intention of the Right Honourable Gentle-
man to request the opinion of the House upon his
eligibility. He believed the Right Hon. Gentleman had
not varied the facts. If the House entertained any
doubts, or even had no doubt, the question was of such
importance that it ought to be settled as a guide to their
future proceedings. He therefore intended to move
that the same Committee be appointed as was appointed
on the former occasion, substituting instead of the Right
Honourable Gentleman any other name which the
Right Honourable Baronet opposite would suggest.
