Message should be refeired to a Committee of
Supply.—Ordered.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
postponed the consideration of
.the' Report on the
Cotton Weavers Bill till Monday next. Business-
of importance, he said, prevented that subject from
coming on this night, but it. was certainly of im-
partake .that the Cotton Weavers Bill. should be
discussed and disposed of during the present Session.
The House went into a Committee of the whole
House with teipeet to the Grants of Landsin Canada
to the late Lord Amherst.
The , CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought it his duty to say a few words on the high
character of the late Lord Amherst ; he observed,
it was to turn; in coniundinif with.thelate.General
Wolfe,. we were indebted for the possession of
Canada. -The Right Hon. Gentleman -then -com-
plimented his talentwod courage in the highesr
terms of, panegyric, and said' it was above' forty
yeais'ago since that Nobleman distinguishedhim:
selq tty.liis services, -during .which period His Ma.
iesikfts intention of granting a - compensation. to
Lod Amherst had been frustrated by the difficulties
which had arisen in' the way of it, for which no ;
blame Was imputable to any one, but which, .he
subniitted, called upon the House to enable
jetty to grant some compensation now,
sped to the lands, however, intended to be.granted,
they amounted to one million of, acres ; and look-
ing forward to the future income to be derived
from such a quantity of-land, it Might fairly lie
considered too mut% for any one. 'man, however
great his talents were, or however serviceable they
had been to the Country, and as the present'Lord
Amherst would he in continual litigation on this
subjea if the 'grant was now carried into exe-
cution, he therefore-hoped the Committee would,
take the case into considertition He now begged
leave to propose, that the sum' of 30001. a year be
granted as an annuity to.the present Lord Amherst,
commencing from the first of July, 063.
Mr. COURTENAY paid the late Lord Amherst
many compliments on the extent of his talents,
.and
the great services he had done the State, which had'
not been properly rewarded : he was . sure no one
would objeU to• the sum now proposed, tut he
thought the sum might ha saved out 'of the Con.
sotidated Fund.by Making a propOrtiOnal grant. Of

Mr. CANNINO joined in compliment, on tile
great talents and services of the late Lord
hem, and ,thouglit.the Litt sent Lord Amherst and fa-
mily wereentitled' to the propoied sum ; but he had
to obiarve, that there did not appear any difference_
with resped to the Public, whether the sum was,
paid as proposed by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex;,
CIE EQU s tt, or'as mentioned by the Hon. Gentletz
mtan,;;(Mr. CouterxilAy) :• in the latter ease, Lord
Amherst would be subjected to continued litigation,
whiith he was sure would not he wished.
,Mr..-CoußTErtior explained.
The CHANCELLOR cif the EXCHEQUER said,
the Public would he a considerable gainer by the
method proposed by him..
