LIGHT-HOUSES.

Mr. HUME moved for a continuation of the returns of
the receipt and expenditure of Light-houses, in the same
form as those made by the Trinity House, up to the year
1832.—Agreed to.
Mr. HUME moved for certain returns relative to the
Church Establishment in India. The Hon. Member
stated he did this, wishing to have the returns made pre-
vious to the discussion coming cn next Session relative to
that Establishment.
TWELVE O'CLOCK SITTINGS.

Mr. WARBURTON said he had a notice of motion
standing for to-night of a petition from two parties, claiming
a considerable sum of money under the estate of the late
Mr. S. Troutbeck of Madras, and as the case was of such
importance to the parties, and required a long statement to
rendered intelligible, he wished to have the opportunity of
a Morning Sitting at 12 o'elo3k, for the purpose of having
the case heard:—ho would take either Thursday or Friday.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE6UER would
throw no obstacle in the way of his Hon. Friend's prOpo-
sition. He admitted the case was one of great importance,
and as he was Counsel for the public, it was necessary he
should be in attendance. Thursday would be the most
-convenient dav-fopdbirn-to attend.
Mr. WARBURTON then gave notice, that he would
move to-morrow that the House do sit at twelve o'clock on
Thursday.

DOVER HARBOUR.

This Bill was read a third time.
On the motion that a new clause be added,

Sir E. KNATCHBULL wished to have the opinion of
the Speaker as to whether the Standing Orders had been
complied with in reference to this Bill.
The SPEAKER thought the alteration that had taken
place was one that could not be made consistent with the
Orders of the House. In his opinion, therefore, the Stand-
ing Orders had not been complied with.
Mr. HUME thought the objectionable part should be
left out, and the Bill should stand over for a twelvemonth.
A conversation took place between the Speaker, Mr.
Hume, Sir E. Knatchbull, and another Hou. Member, the
purport of which we did not distinctly hear.
Mr. R. STEWART said the whole question of this
:harbour had been referred to a Select Committee,
with power to inquire into its management. As the evi-
dence of that Committee was not before the House, he
(Mr. Stewart) would not refer to it ; but, as its Chair-
men, he had felt it his duty to propose certain reso-
lutlini, to the efroct that leave should be given to
bring in a public Bill to carry these resolutions into effect,
and thereby vest the power of the Commissioners in the
Admiralty. It however being the opinion of the Committee
that the introduction of such a Bill might prevent the Com-
missioners from obtaining the money they required, and that
such a step would not be advisable at that late period
of the session, the resolutions were negatived. That was
-what had given rise to the introduction of the clause in
question.
After a conversation between the Chancellor of the Ex-
ebequer, Sir E. Knatchbull, and Mr. Hume, the clause
was agreeti to, and added to the Bill.
