serve Bill,
Several private Bills were brought up by Lord
FOLKSTONE, Messrs. GRAHAM§ HARE, General

(3a.scovrrE, and other Gentlemen. •
Lord HonAat immediately moved the itrSt read,
ing of the Army of Reserve Bill, which was read ac
cordingly. He then moved, that the Bill be print-
ed, 'and oliseyveti that as there was little dOubt
the Prints being ready in the interval, and as Ow
Notice must 'he universally' impressed' with the ur-
gent necessity which existed. for poising the Bill as
expeditiously as was pradicable,. he +should move
that the Bill he read a second time to-mortow.
On this, a conversation ensued between the Earl
of Mot kA, Lord MULGRAVE, tlfe Lo,kl) CII4N,
sr E OMR,. ilfla• Lord Hou4aT, which principally re.
tmaed an 'arrangement with regard to the subse,
museht\Stagzs of the Bill. •: •
Fun of' MOIRA in substance observed, that
his objeet in rising, was, farther to facilitate the ex.
peditioos progress of the Bill ; he, was aware Of.its
necessity, hit as there were several Peers who pro.
bably would wish to deliver their opinions on the
subjeCti on parts of which also some difference of
possibly might preitail, lie thought it
best it should be now understood, that no
'discussion was intended on that Bill to-morrow.
—The interval was perhaps too short to. 'en.
Mile Noble Lords fully to make up their minds
on a sujea, which, to. a certain extent, was
one of detail. Under the like impression, the
necessity of expedition, he would further propose,
that when the clauses,of the Bill should cotne •to
be discussed in a Committee, (which he seemed to
think should be on Monday at farthest,) there should

he no debate, or long speeches as to the principle of
the Bill,: but that their Lordships should confine
themselves .as closely as possible to the subjeet
matter of the provisions, and reserve thernselves•
Its to the discussion of the-geoaral subjea, until the
Report, which lie hoped would be taken ihto con.
sideration as soon as possible after the close of the
Committee. The Noble Earl pressed the con.
Riderarion of its being understood, that no discus. •
bion should take place as to the. principle of the Bill.
Lord MULG RAF. E, though equally anxious, and
Convinced of the necessity of the. Bill's passing as
speedily as passible, yet seemed to entertain doubts
ps to a premature chalking out the line of proceed.
ing with roped to the future stages of a Bill, :He
wished it might be ,so arranged, as (though the.
directly contrary may he intended) that Debates on
two different days might not take place open the-BilL
He therefore: Wished the Whole discussion upon lhe
measure might be fixed for Monday, even were it
necessary, in order tb go through two stages Of the
Bill on that day, that the relevant standisag Qrder
of the House should be sirspend47-iptaElite which
he seemed to think had been resorted to on ;midi,
less urgent aceasitins. . •
Lord 11':)11 /07' appeared in, a great degree to
acquiesce in what had fallen from the Noble Earl,
who led tlie conversation, and was proceeding to 14:.
plain an arrangement by which, he thought the Bill
inly be read a third time on Tuesday. On thii in.
tc tion

The LORD CH ANCELLORItiitte3. the Wool_
pack, and expressed his doubts whether consistently
with the,Standing Orders of the House, the Bill, f 0).
'Owing up the arrangement propoacci, could be read a
third tame on Tuesday there were two modes of ob.- •
vititing this difficulty—One of these was, what he
thought the House, with a reference to its ow ti dignity
and the corrednens of its proceedings would.not re.
sn upon, namely, (so we,ontlerstood the Noble and
LearnetlLtud), to older its. Speaker to put a clues.'.ratan,
lion, contrary to one of its :ir,toding ardars;—
The second was, that the, relevant standing. Order
which opposed the consideration of the • Report
on the same day of committment should be' sus.
pentled, .which could not .be done, under an
Pciless ottle.r.without two days preVious notice be.
log given. in the course of his observations the
Learned Lord alluded to the difficulty which. was
lately: experienced in this respea in the progress of
the discussion of' a' very important measure—the
Clergy Residence Bill.
The remaining part of the conversation was of
an emthoGitory nature.
Lord klut.Gtsv it, after a few observations of
this kind, moved with the View. above stated, that
the Standing Orders, No. t 54, and 155, ho taken
'into consideration on Monday. ,
Lord Ho a ART alit) eXpitiined, as,did the Earl of
Mo IRA ; :utter .which the' Moti,,Ouf Lord Mut,.
pRAVIV was agreed to.
Lord NUMMI shortly expres4ed his wish to have
it generally undetstOr4d, that' no discussion of the
measure should talcs place to-morrow,
The Bills brought up from-. the Commons were
then read a first time,- and those on the Table were
forwarded in their respedive Stages.
