•
Mr. AamiTH.NoT, in the name of his Noble
l'rik-nd (Lord Castlereagh), reque"stc,l that . the
lion. Gentleman (Afr. Methuen) would postpone
the 'not ion which he had given notice for, to-

morrow.
Mr. IVIt:TuitEN was disposed to postpone the
motion, in the view that delay, by affording time
for deliberation, would be . favourable to the
cause: lie was- inclined to fix any day that would
be most agreea:.:e 'to the Ilouse, for instance,
Monday.
Mr. WHITIMEAD expressed a hope that delay
might make any motion on the subject UM-WC:CS-
sary. Though a short postponement might take
place, the subject must be soon discussed, at least
before another drawing-room. Monday might he
a good day, if it had not been pre-occupied by
another motion.
•
Mr. ARBUTHNOT hoped that Tuesdziy would be_
fixed.
Mr. TIF.TINP wished that the Hon. Gentleman
would adhere 'to Monday. The presence of his
Majesty's Ministers was not necessary to attend
upon the Illustrious Personages now in the.coun-
try ; that was proper on the part of the Master
of the Horse and other Officers of State ; but
Ministers ought to he present in that House, as
no question could be more important than that
respecting- which trtice of a- motion had been
given. After Tuesday the review at Portsmouth
mould take place, and if the question,did not come
On on Monday,- it must be put off till the
,week ,
after next, and then what attendance of 2.llentners
'could be expected ? -
Mr. A RBUTHNOT.--The Noble Lord had tader-
stood, that no- business of importance was ex-
pected to come on duri-ng the present -week. He
(Mr: A.) hopetithat•Tuesday would be named.
Mr. CALCRAFT thought the motion might be
put off till the week after next, and saw no reason
to doubt that there would be a full attendance.
Mr. WHITBREAD was of opinion Ow. }Monday
wotild be the best- as- it Was not likely the
House would go into the question of the abolition.
of the Slave Trade, as carried on in the French
colonies,
Mr. CALCRAFT.---" It would be aukward if both
motions stood for Monday."
Mr. WILBERFORCE (who just theta' entered the'
Houw) said, it had been his intention to fix Mon-
day for his motion, as he_did not apprehend any
difference of opinion, an./1 should have no objec-
tion to adjourn the debate, should it be produc-
tive' of inconvenience. . '
Mr.:HETI-wax would consent to put off his mo-
tion, but in the full understanding of bringing it
•on, 'On an early day, if something should not be
done in the mean time that- might render it un-
necessary,
Mr. 'I'IERNEY thought the lion. Gentleman
should insist upon to-morrow (this day)-. The
Noble Lord had no engage/Item for that day,
and only .imagined there was-an understanding.
that nothing of importance would be done this
week. If the question did not cone on to-mm--
row, it would be piit off for a• long time ; and he
thought that to-morrow-should be pressed, unless
some asSuran:-,e were given that steps would be
taken-to render the interference of the House un-
necessary.
The SPEAKER stated, that it rested with -the
lion. Member to fix his-Own day.
Mr, METIIUEN fixed Tuesday.
The Army Prize Money Bill was iead a second time, and
collimated fur. Tuesday.
The Highway Bill was read a third time. -
In answer to a remark of Mr. H. SUNTNER:who expressed, a
wish for further delay, the SPEAKER stated, that the Bill
was still open to any amendnient ; and further proceedings
were ordered to be postponed till Tuesday nest.
• The other Orders were then disposed uf, and the House
adjourned..

•
A orrespouden t from YViukfield, Oxon; states,
that a genteel young nian was shot in a duel on
Monday last, ia a meadow not far distant from
the village but no further. particulars have yet
transpired... _ .

It is a subject of thankfulness that, during the
present very high price of butcher-meat, w 4
should have been so well supplied with abtm-
dance of fresh herrings, of the finest. flavvr.—
The shoals were never known to be so ntllllc:rOUS
an the Cumberland coast ; they have, this week,
even come so far up the water as itockliff and
;Sandstiild, only four miles from Carlisle (a cir-.
crunstance unprecedented), where they have been
taken by thousands in the creeks, ice. having been
,left there on the ebbing of the tide. They, have
sold in our market at from 15 to 20 for is. Upon
the coast the average juice is 4s. Gd. per hundred.
