NOTICES OF MOTION.

Dr. BOWRING said that he understood that the
Rt. Hon. Gent. the Member for Taunton, who had recently
held the situation of President of the Board of Trade,
had been for some time past collecting the tariffs of dif-
ferent countries, and that a most complete collec-
tion had been made. A collection of a similar nature
had been laid before the Congress of the United States of
America, and had been found eminently useful; he should
therefore take an early opportunity of moving that an
humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that
her Majesty would be graciously pleased to give directions
that there be laid before that House copies of the
Custom-house tariffs, regulating the imports and exports
in the different countries, with the weights, measures,
and amounts of duties stated in British weights, mea-
sures, and monies. He also gave notice, that on
an early day he should move for a Committee
to inquire into the propriety of removing the
prohibitions to the importation of foreign cattle—
sheep, lambs, and swine ; and also for a Committee
to consider the propriety of facilitating the importation
of butter, cheese, hams, and pork ; and with regard to
the motion of which he had given notice some time since
relative to taxation levied on the land in foreign coun-
tries, and which he had postponed at the desire of some
Hon. Members, he begged to state that it was his in-
tention to bring it forward to-morrow.
Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that whenever the
House should go into Committee on the Poor-law
Amendment Continuation Bill, he should move that the
Board of Commissioners be abolished, and that all the

powers exercised by them which might be considered
requisite to the working of the measure,
_ should be trans-
ferred to the Secretary of State for the Home Department.
The Honourable Member also gave notice, that
as soon as the responsible Ministers of the CroWn
should have taken their seats in that House,
he should move that copies of all the instructions sent
out to Mr. Fox since the despatch of Mr. Webster,
should be laid before the House.
Mr. BODKIN gave notice that he should on an early
day bring forward a motion on the subject of the amend-
ment of the Criminal Law.
COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

On the Order of the Day for the consideration
of the Speech of the Lord Commissioners being read.
Sir G. CLERK said that in the absence of the
responsible Ministers of the Crown he should
not think of making any motion on which any difference
of opinion would be likely to arise, but it was necessary
that the usual motion that a supply be granted to her
Majesty should be made, before the public business
could be proceeded with. He would, therefore, avail
himself of the meeting of the House that day and to-
morrow, to take steps which would facilitate the
progress of business when the responsible Ministers of
the Crown should take their places. He would therefore
move that a supply be granted to her Majest•.
The motion was then put, and tho Committee of Sup-
ply ordered for to-morrow.
The Navy Pay Bill was postponed till Wednesday.
ELECTION PETITIONS.
. . .

A petition was presented, complaining of an undue
return, from the borough of Penryn and FAlmouth.
The House then adjourned.

THE DUKE OF WELLiNGTON.

When the Duke, after leaving the House, ar-

rived at the portico, his horse was in waiting for
him. There was a crowd of highly respectable
gentlemen present, and as the Illustrious Duke
was adjusting the reins, one of the crowd said,
" Let us give him a cheer," and at the word a
halfeheer was given, but was checked by the
Duke coolly saying, " Stop till I get on!" which
excited a burst of lauhter. In a little time his
Grace slowly mounted, and the cheers rose with
hearty vehemence, to the great annoyance of the
Duke's horse, who fancied the noise. was levelled
at himself, and he capered about in grand
style while the cheers were repeated. The

.Duke took all things very quietly, but had
some difficulty in managing the horse. As his
Grace rode along, the crowd on either side
prolonged the cheering, but the Duke made no

return. The horse had it all his own way. At
length his Grace went off at a brisk trot, and left
the gazing wonderment behind. His Grace
looked very well, but betrayed evident symptoms
of feebleness. He was dressed in his everlasting
blue frock coat and white trousers. It
was remarked that all the Ministers wore
white inexpressibles, while the ex-Ministers
were all dressed in " the blues." There was
much excitement both inside and outside the
walls of Parliament.

BANISHMENT OF WINE FROM THE SACRA-
MENT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,.BY TEE•TOTALLERS.--AS
the truth of a p.:ragraph respecting the exclusion of wine
from the Sacrament by Tee-totallers has been denied by
some anonymous writer ; the Correspondent who! fur-
nished the paragraph hzs shown us the number of the
Temperance Advocate and Journal for August, 1841,
which gives the names Of two individuals who appeared
as delegates at the late Huddersfield Tee-total Confe-
