Mr. HUME then proceeded to move the resolutions for
carrying into effect the recommendations of the Committee,
'chose anxious desire had been to do all in their power to
render justice to every individual. The following resolu-
tions were then agreed to :
"That this House agree with the recommendations of
the Select Committee, that the annual sum of 9111. he al-
lowed to Mr. John Pratt, the head door-keeper, during the
time he shall continue to perform the duties of his offiet,
in lieu of all salaries, fees, gratuities, and emoluments what-
soever.

" That the annual sum of 8741. be allowed to Mr.
Francis Williams, the unier door-keeper, during the time
he shall continue to perform the duties of his office, in
lieu of all salaries, fees, gratuities, and emoluments what-
soever.

" That the annual salary of each of the door-keepers, oiler
Mr. Pratt and Mr. Williams shall retire, be 4001., in lieu
of all fees, gratuities, and emoluments whatsoever,"
The other resolutions, to the 13th inclusive, were then
agreed to.
On the 14th Resolution being proposed—" That the re-
commendation of the Committee, as to the future esta-
blishment of the Members' waiting-room, be approved,"
Mr. WIGNEY thought that, in comparison with the:
salaries provided for some of the officers of the
and which he d:d not consider too much, the allowan,e of
one individual who had very arduous duties to perform was
exceedingly disproportionate. Ho alluded to the individual
who attended in the Members' lower waiting room. At
present the income of that individual amounted to upwards
of 600/. per annum ; from guinea fees alone he received
5601„ but of this he paid 200/. per annum, and he had
also to pay an assistant and porter. That individual had
filled that situation for fifteen years, which included seven-
teen sessions, and during that time he had never been ab-
sent from his post a single day. The Hon. Membel. con-
cluded by proposing, as an amendment, that the salary of
Thomas Collet be 4001 a year, instead of 2006. a year, as
recommended by the Committee,
Mr. HUME said it was difficult for the Committee to
satisfy all parties. However, if the Hon. Member bad
attended to the proceedings of the Committee he would find
that this individual had no reason to complain. .He (Mr.
Hume) had no doubt that if Mr. Collet chose to retire to-
morrow the Sergeant-at-Arms would get as good a man to,
perform tho duties for 1001. a year.
Mr. WIGNEY said that if the sense of the House was
against him, he would not press his motion.
Mr. ESTCOURT moved "that the annual sum of 7781.
be allowed to Mr. John Bellamy, the deputy-housekeeper,
during the time he shall continue to perform the duties of
his office, in lieu of all salaries, fees, gratuities, and emolu-
ments whatsoever ; and that the annual sum of 300/. be
allowed to him for the servants requisite to keep the
House, the committee, and other rooms, passages, &c.,
clean,"

Mr. HUME said the resolutions of the Select Commit-
tee were in his opinion the best rule for the guidance of the
House.

Sir R. INGLIS supported the amendment.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY thought it better to abide by
the resolutions of the Committee.

Sir J. GRAHAM thought it right to abide by the reso-
lutions of the Committee, and suggested that the salaries,
when fixed, should commence on the Ist of January.
Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER con-
curred in the suggestion. _

Mr. ESTCOURT withdrew his amendment, and the
resolutions of the Committee were agreed to.
The Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time, on the mo-
tion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.
SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS SALE BILL.
Mr. GILLON moved that the House should go into
Committee on the Spirituous Liquors Sale Bill. He was will-
ing to agree that the Bill should only apply to liquors not
drunk on the premises.

Sir G. CLERK would move, as an amendment, that
the Bill should be committed that day six months.
Mr. BUCKINGHAM seconded the amendment.
Mr. GILLON quoted an extract from the report of
the Excise Commissioners in support of the Bill.
Sir H. PARNELL thought the Commissioners had
gone too far in that report, and expressed his regret that
the passage had crept in.

Mr. HUME and the LORD ADVOCATE sup-
ported the committal of the Bill.

- Mr. PEASE, Sir A, AGNEW, and Mr. WAKLEY opposed
it. The latter Hon. Gentleman_ was sure the publicans
themselves would object to it, as they preferred the present.
ready money system to one which would compel them to
give credit or offend a customer.
Mr. POTTER supported the Bill.
Colonel THOMPSON maintained that nothing would
make the people sober but instruction and education. Let
them take off the taxes on newspapers, and facilitate the
circulation of cheap publications. As for the drunkenness
of the lower classes, which the supporters of the Bill wished
to restrict, he bade them look to the conduct and frequent
intoxication of the higher orders.
Sir R. BATESON did not know what company the
Hon. Member for Hull kept ; but in the company he kept
he never saw any instances of the intoxication spoken of by
that Hon. Member.
Mr. BROTHERTON supported the amendment. The
Hon. Member for Hull had himself shown that education
could not prevent drunkenness.—(Hear, hear.)
The House then divided, when there appeared—

Majority against the Bill 37
The House then went into Committee on the Civil Bill
Courts (Ireland) Bill. Clauses up to 63 were agreed to.
On the suggestion of Mr. LYNCH, clause 64 was post-
poned for amendment, and negatived pro tempore.
Clauses 65 and 66 were agreed to.
The remaining clauses of the Bill, together with the post-
poned clauses, were then agreed to.
The schedules were then proceeded with.
Upon the schedule that regulates the fees of the As-
sistant Barristers a short conversation took place, Mr. LE..
FROY, Mr. SHAW, and Mr. Sergeant JACKSON contending
that the Barrister should be entitled to the fee of one shil-
ling upon " pronouncing" the decree instead of on " sign-
ing" the decree, as provided in the Bill. Upon this a di-
vision took place, when there appeared—

IRISH GRAND JURY BILL.

In answer to a question from Colonel PERCEVAL.
who urged the inconvenience of proceeding with the Irish
Grand Jury Bill in the present session.
Lord MORPETH considered the Bill to be of so much
importance that it was his intention to press it through as
early as possible. Were he to consent to a postponement.
the evils which this measure was intended to remedy would
remain without correction until 1838.
The Committee on the Bill was postponed until Friday
next.

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One.

FEMALE DOMINATION.—The name of the herible
of this new satirical novel, by the Authoress of " Mothers and
Daughters," is Mrs. Armytage—and thus, it appears, the book
is to be called " Mrs. Armytage, or Female Domination."
But who is Mrs. Armytage ?—is the question in all circles.
We are sorry we cannot venture to satisfy enquirers on this
point. We must refer all inquisitors to Mrs. Gore, or to her
publisher, Mr. Colburn.
DREADFUL DISTRESS.—It is, we think, a stib-
ject nhich alike calls for astonishment and reprobation, that
the Government and the House of Commons have no inten-
tion during the present session of acting on the Report of the
Commissioners of the Poor Law Inquiry, and establishing some
system for the permanent relief of those unhappy beings who
annually fall victims to the fatal attacks of famine. If further
evidence be wanting of the paramount necessity of a poor-
rate, we are afraid the ensuing season is likely to furnish it in.
abundance. The prospect which the people have to look for-
ward to, is truly appalling, when the inclemency of the weather,
the wintry wind, with the accompanying frost and snow, add
their horrors to those of hunger; we dare not pause to consi-
der the result. Most earnestly do we call upon all the friends
of the people, both in and out of Parliament, to lose not a mo-
ment in corning. to their rescue.— Waterford Chronicle.
