than himself, he should also move for leave to bring in a Bill
for the total repeal of the Usury Laws.

Lord MORPETH gave notice, that he should to-morrow

tion of the House to certain circumstances that had taken
place at the late elections for that borough.
Mr. R. TREVOR presented several petitions from places
in Carmarthenshire in support of the Established Church.
Mr. LITTLETON presented a petition from a place in
Staffordshire, against the Bill for the regulation of the sale

Sir R. PEEL presented several petitions in support of the
Established Church.

NEW ROAD FROM WATERLOO BRIDGE.
Colonel E VANS wished to know whether the new line of road
from Waterloo bridge was to be continued to the north of
the metropolis. They had been three years about this road

and had only carried it as far as Bow-street, and he
and many others regretted that the road was still incomplete.
He hoped that the improvements would be carried on
as far as Bedford-souare.

Sir J. C. HOB HO USE said that the powers of the
Act would not allow them to extend the line of road
beyond Bow-street. The grant of 60,0001. made by
Parliament for this purpose would not be exceeded. Re-
specting the continuation of the street, the Hon. and Gallant
Member was aware that it was a question of money, and for
the consideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It
was, in his opinion, very desirable that the street should be
continued to Charlotte-street from Bow-street. The Hon.
Member might also be aware that the ground belonged to the
Mercers' Company, who had signified that they had no objec-
tion to give up the fee-simple of the ground, but, at the same
time, a considerable outlay of public money would be required
to purchase the interest of the lessees and occupiers, and almost
the whole of this money would be.lost to the public. If the
line of road was extended beyond the present limit, it would be
a question whether they would advance money for that pur-
pose—if such a thing was done he would be glad of it.
Colonel E VANS said that if the thing were to be done at
all, this was the best time to do it, as the leases granted by the
Mercers' Company would shortly expire, and they paused to
renew them until they saw what steps were likely to be taken
by Government. They were willing to relinquish the fee
simple, in consideration of the benefit that would arise to the
rest of their property in the same neighbourhood. The whole
distance was only 420 yards, and he understood that there were
sufficient funds in the possession of the Woods and Forests for
this purpose, and that it would not be necessary to come to
Parliament for a grant.
ORDERS OF THE DAY.

Lord ALTHORP believed that it was now understood that
le Orders of the Day were entitled to the precedence of mo-
tions, therefore he would move that the Order of the Day be
now read.

Mr. SPEAKER put the motion. which was agreed to.
SALE OF BEER AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord ALTHORP had had some communication with the
Hon. Baronet who had introduced this Bill, and had now to
state to the House that he had agreed to take the future con-
duct of it. He would not go on with it to-day, but would
postpone it till Friday next.
Mr. WARBURTON wished to know from the Noble Lord
whether the Beer Bill was now to be considered a Government
measure? but

Lord ALTHORP'S answer was not heard in the Gallery.
LAND-TAX AMENDMENT BILL.

Lord ALTHO RP said he should postpone the consideration of
,his Bill till to-morrow.

Mr. WILKE S considered it a most important measure.
He knew that there were great complaints of the inadequacy
of the compensation in many cases ; and as that was owing
to the imperfection of the machinery employed in making the
compensation, he wished to know from the Noble Lord op-
posite if any intention existed to make any alterations in the
persons employed?
Lord ALTHO RP was not prepared to say that any altera-
tion in the present system of proceeding would_be adopted.
