VERAG
The Earl ofCORN MARCA II wished tES. o know if the
President c,t the Boat d ut Trxle had heard that certain
serious inaccuracies bad taken place in the corn-lnvec-
tor's returns fur the town of Brighton, and it so, whether
the Government were inclined to bring in any Bill to
prevent such inaccuracies trecarring tor the future?
Mr. LABOUCEIERE said he must admit that very
great inti,:curacies had taken place, but the fault was
to be traced more to the system then to the officers
whose duty it was to prepare the returns. The buycrs,
in fart, under the present law, were alone
compelled to make returns, and he understood
that though corn was sold at the market-place st Brigh-
ton, the greatf,r quantity was disposed of by sample and
by private contr,ct, thus.; rendering it scarcely p.,a.
traria for any public officer to mike cornet re-
turns of the quantity sold. lle did not
think it possible without incurring great expense
to establish better machinery for a more correct colapi..
latiun of the returns, but he would promise that has
attent.ion should Le directed to the subject, in order to
sec if the evil could be prev,:nted for the. future.

AUSTRALIA.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL b,,,gg.,ed leave to give notice
that, at the present advanced period of the seasiun, he
felt it advisable to postpone the Bill affecting the colony
of Australia.
Mr. ADDERLEY said that, as Government seemed
inclined to throw the Constitution of the Australian
Colonies overboard, he had to give notice that early in
the next session of Parliament he would bring forward
a Bill for this purpose.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was the intention of
Government to bring forward a measure. They would
do so at the very earliest mowent.
Mr. F. SCOTT wished to know from the Noble Lord
what was the character of the measure which it was in-
tended to brink forward ?
Lord J. RUS7,ELL could not in the present state of
the Bill give the Hon. Member the information required.
The Bill would have to be recomidered.
Mr. HUME thought that a Bill so particularly affect-
ing the colonists ought to be submitted to their considera-
tion.

Lord J. RUSSELL—The principle of the Bill was
founded on th.• information derived from the state of
public opinion in the colony. They would have ample
time to see and expiess their approbation of it,. or to
condemn it.

Mr. HENItY BAILLIE called attention to the
present detective mode or rating the pour in Scot-
land. Each class tried to throw the burden upon
the other class, and he trusted that the Government
would, during the recess, give the matter their consi-
deration, with the view of settling the question upon an
equitable basis.
