THE BUDGET.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
in consequence ot the late melancholy event that had taken
place, he felt it necessary to postpone his financial state-
ment from Monday next to Friday.
Sir R. PEE L said that co one more deeply regretted
than himself the cause which had occasioned the post-
ponement of the public business ; at the. same time
he thought that the financial statement was business of
such a nature that it might be brought forward in the ab-
sence of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies.
He merely threw that out as it might induce the Right
Hon. Gentleman to alter his determination of postponing his
financial statement. He wished to know whether the House
might:calculate upon its coming on on Friday next, because
the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton had given notice of a

motion on the subject of the Corn-laws for Thursday.—:
( Hear, hear, from Mr. Hume.) He would be very glad
if they csuld calculate upon the debate on the Corn•laws
closing in one night. The House would bear in mind that
they had had three nights' debate on the subject already,
lend supposing it did not close on Friday night, they
should also bear in mind that his Noble Friend (Lord

Stanley) had fixed Monday for the Irish Registration
Bill. It appeared to hilt), therefore, that Tuesday week
was the earliest day in which the Hun. Gentleman could
bring forward his motion, and he must express his regret
that the Right Hon. Gentleman had postponed a statement
in which the country felt so deep an interest.
Mr. WA EB'URTON said his Hon. Friend the Member
for Wolverhampton had anticipated that the debate would
take two nights.
The CHANCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER
equally regretted with the Light Hon. Baronet that the
public business should be postponed ; but as the state-
ment which he intended to make was likely to lead to
a debate, ho felt that be would not be justified in
bringing it forward in the absence of his Noble
Friend. He had fixed his statement for the very first day
on which his Noble Friend would probably be able to at-
tend; but he begged to state, that, if the Corn-law de-
.

bate should run over the second night, on Friday it
was his intention to propose that his financial statements
should take precedence.
Mr. HUNIE submitted that that would be a very un-
fair way of treating a question, which had occupied three
nights--( Hear and a latigh)--without the House coming
to any decision. in fact they might as well take the di-
vision without any discussion.—( Loud cries of Hear, from
the Opposition benches.) He submitted to the Right Hon.
Gentleman that he was not acting fairly, and he hoped he
would re-consider the matter.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
served that perhaps the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton
would deem it advisable to postpone his motion.
The conversation then dropped.
Lord SANDON, after some observations which, in con-
sequence of the noise in the House, did not reach us,
moved that Mr. Laboucherc should be added to the Liver.
pool Dock Committee.
Mr. LABO UCHERE said he was already on five
public Committees, and feared he could not possibly have
time to attend ; if, however, it was generally desircd, be
would do his best, though he could not promise to attend.
