ASSIZE BREAD.

Mr. FRANIKLAND LEWIS moved that the Bread
Assize Abolition Bill be read a second time.

Mr. CALCRAFT wished that the seeo►;d reading
of the Bill should be delerred to next Session.

Mr. WILLI Atqo S Fall hoped that Mere would be
some proviion in the 13111 to protect the Balwrs
against malicious inforhiers.
General TtioßwroN wished the Bill should be.
passed immediately, • and that it should extend to
all the country as well as to Loudon, within the
bills of mortality.:
Aldermati ATKINS thought that a custom
which existed for 7001 years., should be seriously
considered before it was abolished*. He wished
at least the Bill should stand over to next Session.

Mr. Roneni: SMITH approved of the measure.
Mr. F. Lawis said, that there was a mass of
evidence in the Report, which went to prove that
the Assize went to raise the price -of bread. A
total repeal was the only fair experiment. How-
ever, he would not press the Bill to a Committee
till Monday.
After a few words from the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Mr. Tierney, My. Alderman Atkins,
and Mr. Whitbread, the Bill was read a second
time. To be committed o❑ Friday.
Mr. BENNETT inquired 'whether it was intended
to make a grant to the Duke of Cumberland on
account of his marriage,. and what would be. the
amount of the Loan ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
it %vas evident from the Message that a proposi-
tion for a grant would be made, but as to the
amount he was not yet prepared to say.
Mr. TIERNEY asked, when the marriage had
taken place, why the communication had been so
long delayed, and why the amount of the grant
was not stated?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEatiItR said, that
it was not usual to state the amount of any grant
at this stage of the business.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought
up the Exchequer Bills Bill, which was read a first
time.—To be- read a second time to-morrow.

The Hackney Coach Amendment Bill was brought in and
read a first time.

General THORNTON objected to the Clause for increasing
the number of hackney chariots. As they do not carry so
many persons as.a coach; he was of opinion that their fares
ought to be less. He suggested an increase of the penalties
fur misbehaviour on the part of the coachmen, particularly to
femaleS; and also that their scale of rates and fares should lie
affixed inside their coaches.
The 13111 was then ordered to .be read a second time to-
mot row.
