BILL.

A short discussion ensued on the question for the con-
sideration of the report of this bill.

Mr. CHILDERS objected to the bill, as it was introduced
as a private bill, although public money was affected to
the amount of £20,000. No notice had been given to the
Government that such a course was to be pursued, and,
therefore, he moved that the report be considered that day
six months.

The debate was altimately adjourned until Thursday
next.

SUPPLY.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. CHILDERS, as it had been intimated by tho Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer last night that no Government
business would be proceeded with at the morning sitting,
moved that tho house go into supply to-morrow (Wed-
nesday).
The motion was agreed to, and the sitting was sus-
pended until six o'clock, when it is anticipates that the
Chanceller of the Exchequer will announce the course the
Government intend to take in consequence of the house
accepting the amendment of Lord Dunkellin.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer's statement will
appear in our late edition.

preliminaries, one of the

and dashing the rope against the boat two of the
oars became entangled in it, and before they could
be disengaged a ground sea, with fearful violence,
dashed against the end of the boat, and according
to the statement of eye-witnesses, threw it com-
pletely into the air, it coming down with all the
men under it. One man managed to swim to
another boat ; three more were rescuaedtebrryibtlhose on

There was one very favourite and popular idea
amongst a large class of persons, that if by any
chance a man WAS drowned he ought to be held
head downward in order that the water might run
out of him ; experience, however, had shown that
this mode of treatment was most certain to produce
death, if the drowning was not absolute before.
