COMMITTEE OF I.IPPLY-REPORT.
. _

On the motion for reading the order of the day for
receiving the report of the committee of supply,
Mr. LYNCH objected that it was too late an hour
to give the several clauses due consideration, and that
there was one clause respecting the Chancery business
upon which he proposed to make a motion.
Mr. S. RICE observed that he had been put to
much inconvenience already, being called upon to pay
moneys for the public service which had not regularly
received the sanction of the heuse. He would ask the
hon. member, therefore, to allow the report to be re-
ceived, or at least a part of it. When the vote upon
which the hon. member raised an objection came to
be read, he would have an opportunity of bringing for-
ward the subject of Chancery abuses.
After a few words from Mr. Lynch, Mr. S. Rice,
Mr. Hume, and Lord Althorp,
Sir M. W. RIDL E Y begged to put in a word on
the part of the public against the practice which was
gaining ground in the house of interrupting important
business like the present, for the purpose of interposing
individual motions of hon. members.

Mr. HUME protested against the doctrine of the
hon.baronet as an unconstitutional one.

The report was then ordered iobeTeceived, and se-
veral clauses were agreed to.
NATIONAL GALLERY.
On the vote of 13,0001. for the building of the new
National Gallery,
Mr. SANFORD inquired whether it was intended
to remove the cartoons of Raphael, now at Hampton-
court, to the National Gallery ?
Mr. S. RICE was not prepared to give a positive
answer to the hon. member's inquiry, though he did
believe it had been a.question, independently of their
great bulk, whether it would be prudent to move such
costly and delicate works of art within the smokey at-
mosphere of London.
The vote was agreed to.

On the vote for liquidation of the expenses of
the Insolvent Debtors' Court being put,
Lord ALTHORP, in answer to a question from an
hon. member, said that from the press of business he
did not think the bill for the abolition of imprison-
ment for debt could be passed this session.
The vote was agreed to.
Lord ALTHORP (we understood) also replied, in
answer to Mr. Hume, that he could not say when the
Local Courts Bill was to be brought on.
Mr. HUME expressed surprise that in the other
house, where there was so little to do, the Lord Chan-
cellor, or some one else connected with Government,
would not bring in the bill.
On the vote of 12,000/. for the support of the Spanish
Refugees being put,
Mr. S. RICE said that the object of the grant in
future would be, not to support the Spaniards, but to
enable them to return home.
Lord D. STUART made some remarks in favour
of transferring the grant to the support of the Poles.
Vote agreed to.
The other votes were also agreed to.
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT BILL.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the second
reading of the Central Criminal Court Bill. The
object was to take from the metropolitan counties cer-
tain districts, and cause the offences committed within
these districts to be tried at the Central Court, and
also make the Sessions more frequent ; indeed, have
twelve Sessions in the year at the Old Bailey. This
would render punishment more speedy and sure, and
prevent the accumulation of prisoners in the gaols.
The bill was read a second time.

IRISH TITHE COMMUTATION BILL.
Mr. LITTLETON, in moving that the Irish Tithe
Commutation Bill be committed pro forma, said, in
answer to a question from Mr. SHAW, that the bill stood
as it did before, that the appropriation clauses were
not changed, and that it was to be left to the house to
deal with it as it pleased.
The motion was agreed to.
PARISH VESTRIES BILL.

Colonel EVANS moved the second reading of the
Parish Vestries Bill.

Lord HO WICK, as an amendment, moved that the
bill be read a second time that day six months, observ-
ing that the object of the bill was to repeal the provi-
sions of Sir John Cam Hobhouse's Act.
Colonel EVANS denied this. The bill contained
nine-tenths of the provisions of Sir J. C. Hobhouse's
Act, but it was quite evident the noble lord was igno-
rant of the bill.

The house then divided, when there appeared—.
For the second reading
Against it 3B
Majority _ —37

The second reading of the House Duties Repeal
Bill was postponed until Friday next.
Mr. LITTLETON brought in a bill for repealing
certain portions of the Irish Stamp Act relating to the
duties on Newspapers.—Read a first time.
Lord PALMERSTON rose to present a petition
from Hemsworth relating to some fishery.
Mr. RUTHVEN thought that too late an hour to
proceed with business, and therefore moved that the
house be counted.
Lord PALMERSTON hoped the hon. member
would allow him to go on ; he was in possession of the
house.
The gallery was cleared, and there being only
twenty-three members present, the house adjourned at
half-past two o'clock.

We have heard, with much satisfaction that
the pension of Mrs. Lander is to be raised to 1501. a
year.—Observer.

CORPORATION REFORM WORTHY OF
IMITATION.—The burgesses of the borough of Llanelly
lately purchased the new market-house which was re-
cently erected by David Lewis, of Strady, and they
have generously made it free and abolished the tolls
for ever...-Cambrian.

SIR ANDREW'S DREAM.

( Fro 11 the Times.)

Nec to sue -re Mis lenien a somnia portis :
" Cum ma yen.uunt som.th,,,,xmdus habent."
Propert., Lib. 4, Eleg. 7.

As snug, on a Sunday eve, of late,
In his easy chair Sir Andrew sate,
Being much too pious, as every one knows,
To do aught, of a Sunday eve, but doze,
He dreamt a dream, dear, holy man,
And I'll tell you his dream as well as I can. .
He found himself, to his great amaze,
In Charles the First's hip fory days,
And just at the time that Eravest of Courts
Had published its Book of Sunday Sports. *—
Sunday Sports ! what a thing for the ear !
Of our Andrew, even in sleep, to hear !
It happened to be, too, a Sabbath Day,
When the people from church were coming away ;
And Andrew with horror heard this song,
As the smiling sinners flock'd along :
" Long life to the Bishops, hurra! hurra !
" For a week of work and a Sunday of play
" Make the poor man's life run merry away.
" The Bishops !" quoth Andrew, " Popish, I guess."
And he grinn'd with conscious holiness.
But the song went on and, to br:m the cup
Of poor Andy's anguish, the fiddles struck up !
" Come, take out the lasses—let's have a dance—

" For the Bishops allow us to skip our fill,
" Well knowing that no one's the more in advance
" On the road to heaven, for standing still.
" Oh, it never was meant that grim grimaces
" Should sour the cream of a creed of love;
" Or that fellows with long, disastrous faces,
" Should take their seat among cherubs above.
" Then hurra for the Bishops, &c.
" For Sunday fun we can never fail,
" When the Church herself each sport points out ;
" There's May-games, archery, Whitsun-ale,
" And a May-pole high to dance about.
" Or, should we be for a pole hard driven,
" Some long, lank saint, of aspect fell,
"" With his pockets on earth, and his nose in heaven,
" Will do for a May-pole just as well.
" Then hurra for the Bishops, hurra ! hurra !
" A week of work and a Sabbath of play
" Make the poor man's life run merry away."
To Andy, who doesn't much deal in history,
This Sunday scene was a downright mystery ;
And God knows where might have ended the joke,
But, in trying to stop the fiddles, he woke.
And the odd thing is (as the rumour goes)
That, since that dream,—which, one might suppose,
Would have made his godly stomach rise,
Even more than ever, 'gainst Sunday pies,—
He has viewed things quite with different eyes ;
beginningls to take, on matters divine,
Like Charles and his Bishops, the sporting line,—
Is all for quadrilles, in streets and squares,
As an interlude 'twixt Sunday prayers ;
Nay, talks of getting Archbishop 1-1-I—y
To bring in a bill, enacting duly,
That all good Protestants, from this date,
May, freely and lawfully, recreate,
Of a Sunday eve, their spirits moody,
With Jack in the Straw, or Punch and Judy.

• "The Book of Sports," drawn un by Bishop Moreton, was
first put forth in the reign of James 1., 1618, and afterwards re-
published, at the advice of Laud, by Charles 1.. 1633, with an
injunction that it should be "made public by order from the
bishops." We find it therein declared, that, "for his people's
recreation, his Majesty's pleasure was, that after the end of
divine service they should not be disturbed, letted, or discou-
raged, from any lawful recreations, such as dancing, either of
men or women, archery for men, leaping, vaulting, or any such
harmless recreations, nor having of May-games, Whitsun-ales,
or Morris-dances, or setting up of May-poles, or other sports
therewith used," &c.

THE PENSION LIST.

The Pension List—the Pension List,
That legacy of Tory rule,
That shows how dearly ladies k—d,
How dearly husbands played the fool ;
Its convict columns still proclaim
The story of a people's shame.
What! though while o'er the burning page
The astonished eye indignant wanders,
It lights on thieves of every age
And sex, on p---s and panders.
Like those indecent gods that grace
The grounds of some old fashioned place.
What ! though the burning infamy
Is not defended, nay, confessed?
Great cant proclaims such things must be
Granted to Royalty's behest, •
To verify the good old maxim—
" The people to►l that kings may tax 'em."
'Tis true along the lengthening line
Appears at times a worthier name :
Same Dalton here and there may shine,
Speaking at once of virtuous fame.
The modost letters seem to be
Blushing at such bad company.

of his canvass, called to solicit the vote of a farmer
in the county, was told that he could not get it.
Why so, John ?" said Mr. G. " Just because I'm
to gie't to Sir George." " Oh, John, you went with
Lord Ormelie last time ; surely you'll go with me on
" Na, troth, I winna do that." " You
