and addressing his observations to the Members behind the
bench on which he himself usually sits. Silence and
order having been for a few moments established, he ad-
vanced to the table and addressed the Chair against the
resolution, but was frequently interrupted by loud bursts
of laughter. Amongst other observations adverse to the
motion, he said the House was often perfectly patient
under the most lengthened arguments on the most trum-
pery salaries, and therefore he thought it was scarcely
becoming in the House to manifest impatience when a
sum of 20,000,0001. was at stake. He could not help
complaining that the promoters of the measure had not
condescended to inform them in what manner the money
thus amounting to 20,000,0001. was to be raised, or how
distributed. He acknowledged he had not heard any part
of the previous debate, and therefore he should be glad to
hear some explanation of the mode in which the acquire-
ment of that money was to be effected, and when obtained,
how it was to be dispos'ed of.—(Laughter.) Hon. Mem-
bers might laugh, but he would contend that the matter
under consideration was very serious. The present reso
lution imposed upon the House and the country a very
weighty obligation ; and what he wanted to know was,
how that obligation was to be fulfilled. He must protest
against that mode of voting away the public money, and
without any information from the Government as to the
mode in which it was to be raised or distributed.—(A
laugh.) The Right Hon. Gentleman might have mad,
his peace with the delegates of the West India interest,
but with that he (Mr. B.) had nothing to do with any one
but his constituents.—( Hear. hear, and laughter.)
Mr. Secretary STANLEY said that he entertained
great respect for the Hon. Member for Essex, but he
entertained still higher respect for the House, and was
anxious to s lee its time. It had then been sitting
from 6 till 12 ; and though the Hon. Member for Essex
might have been very agreeably employed—more agree-
ably than in listening to debates in that House—yet per-
haps it would have been more becoming in him to address
himself to the matter really under consideration, than to
treat it with such indecent levity. The Hon. Gentlem in
hid told them that he wanted to know the arguments by
which the promoters of the measure had supported their
views : if he did feel such an anxiety upon the subject, he
had much better have attended in his place, aed have
listened to the statements and observations made on that
side of the House. He was sure the House would not
consent that those arguments should again be gone over,
even if any one were disposed to indulge him with their
repetition. In the course of to-morrow, the greater part
of their constituents would be made aware of all that hail
taken place that night upon the question before the House ;
and he really must he allowed to refer the Hon. Gentleman
to the same channels of information throueh which the
country at large was usually made acquainted with what
took place in that House.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon.
Member for Essex seemed to apprehend the worst conse-
quences from the proposed measure. Now he (Mr. S.)
would ask him, was he serious in supposing that the
granting or the denial of compensation would tend the
one to tranquillise, and the other to disturb and excite
the moneyed, mercantile and commercial portions of the
community? As to the Colonial L.gislatures, he had only
to observe, that no act would be done—no step taken,
without giving them an opportunity of expressing their
sentiments.

Mr. BRISCOE rose amidst loud cries of "Question."
He objected to more than fifteen millions being granted,
indeed he thought eight or nine would be sufficient for the
purpose.—(Cries of " Question, question.") At the same
time be begged it to be understood that he was the
advocate of a fur and liberal comperisation.

Having been re-admitted in the gallery, we yarned that

Mr. STANLEY had been urging the necessity of coining
to a vote immediately on the sth and last resolution, on
the ground that the Government Packet to the West
Indies had been delayed a fortnight in order to carry the
ultimate decision of Parliament upon the whole of the
Rt • dutions.

The sth resolution was then put, to the effect, " That
upon the recommendition of the Locil Legislatures, his
Maje•ty will recommend to Parliament to grant out of the
Revenues of this country such aid as may be deemed neces_
sary for the due support of the administration of justice, of
an efficient police establishment, and of a general system of
religious and moral education."
Alter a few words from Mr. STANLEY, Mr. A BAs,•
INO, an :I Mr. CURTEIS,

Mr. BUXTON suggested the addition of the words "on
liberal and comprehensive principles."
Mr. STANLEY said, as it was his wish that there
should be nothing exclusive in the system of education
about to he adopted, there could be no objection to the
Hon. Member's suzgestion.
Mr. R. WASON then moved, that whatever expenses
be incurred by those resolutions be defrayed by a property
tax in this country.
The amendment was negatived without a division, and
the resolution, as verbsily amended, was agreed to,
The House then resumed, and the report on the resilu-
tions was ordered to be brought up to-morrow (this day).
