those returns from the various officers of the country tlse
espence would be enormous.—( Hear.) The best course
to follow would he to order those returns onl♦ which might,
on consideration, be found really useful. Ho did think,
however, thrt this return was of some importance.--( Hear. )
Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, on the part of the Clerks of
the Peace in Ireland, protested against the expense king
thrown on them.
Lord INGESTRIIi said the Hon. Member ought to
pay the expense of pre-paying the postage of the papers.
Mr. HUME—AIt, well, I'll pay the penny postage....

The returns were then about to be eralerei ; but on the
Speaker's pntting the question,
Lord ELIOT pressed for a division.

LIGHTING THE HOUSE.

Sir FREDERICK TRENCH mpred for Compara-
tive Returns of the Expenses of Lighting the House by
what is called the " Buds Light " and by wax candles.
The principal Return related to tke expense that bad been
incurred by the use of the Bude Light, from ita first adop-
tion until it was last superseded by the adoption of the
Hon. and Gallant Member's plan of using wax candles
and green shade..

M. WARBURTON hoped the Hon. and Gallant
Member would pardon him for comparing him to nothing
else but " a hen with one egg."--(Great laughter, and
cries of " Order ;" during which Sir F. french repeat-
edly took off his hat, and bowed to Mr. Warburton.)
Tho SPEAKER was sure that the Hon. Member for-
he was cut of order, in making an el-
and Gallant Member, which was so.
-(Roars of laughter.)
TON was willing to make any apo-
and Gallant Gentleman, but he had used
'fusion only because the Hon. and Gal-
so often brought the subject before the

its were terminated.
TON hoped that the experiments h. a d
not terminated.—(Hear, hear.) He could say, for him r.
self, that the heat and oppression occasioned by th e
candles were inconvenient to him. He hoped that Mr .
Gurney, who had bad only ten days to prepare for the in .
troduction of his plan, would be permitted to continue hi. ;
experiments in the Easter recess, and that the Hon. and:
Gallant Gentleman would not press his motion until those/
experiments were concluded.
Lord ELIOT had always considered the question of
expense one of minor importance, and such had been.
the view of the Committee of which he and his Hon. and.
Gallant Friend were members.
Sir F. TRENCH said he had always agreed with his;
lion.' Friend that the question of expense was not that of the'
most important consideration. But it was the question:,
upon which the philosophers fell back when they were!
beaten upon every other.—(Great laughter.) He shouhtt
persevere in moving for this re:urn, because when thr,a'
came to discuss the motion of his Hon. Friend the wile
subiect would be fairly Wore the House.
Tile returns were then agreed to.

THE SHERIFFS.
Sir M A TTH E W WOOD then rase for the purpose of
bringi:g forward the motion of which he had given notice f )r
the liberation of Mr. Sheriff Evans, for the purpose of enabli: kg,
him, together with Me. Sheriff Wheelton, to wait upon fa tr
Majesty, to know when she would receive the Congratr
!awry Address from the City of London, on het marriag a
with Prince Albert.—( The Hon, Barom:t was met with?
tres 6f " Mr. Brotherton.") He thought on an occviou:
like the present, when a respectable and upright man was
aufFering imprisonment for the conscientious discharge of
his duty, the House might, although it was late, devote a.
refv minutes to till oucition as to whether he should be:

El drawn up.—(Cries of" Where is it?") He had it
in t pocket —( Laughter.) If the House thought r hi
Sherithr would pay the money th.ry were much mistak in.
co,tended that the Sheriff, had endeavoured to upl, old

The choir has the greatest variety of stops of any organ in
England. This instrument is on the German principle, and,
appears to be well adapted for Church service.

LONDON:
WEDNESDAY, PBBIIIIARY 36, 114*.

Io the Peers last night the Marquis of LONDON-
DRURY moved for copies or extracts of the communica-
tions which had taken place between the Foreign
Office, and the Admiralty, and the British authorities in
Spain, between the lit of May and the present time,
relative to the Convention of Bergara ; and made his
annual speech about Spain. The Noble Marquis
thought it necessary to apologise for troubling their
Lordships so often on this subject, by stating that he
had long been connected, by his military services and
!flambee, with that country, and had recently visited
it. He described the present pacification as only tem-
wrary, and as having been obtained by treach-
ry.f
