PETITIONS.

duty, for the abolition of church rates, against the annuity
tax, &c.
NOTICE OF MOTION.

Mr. WHITESIDE gave notice that on the 30th June
he would move for leave to bring in a bill to consolidate
the statute laws of England and Ireland.
INDIA.

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for India
whether he had not received a report on civil establishments
and salaries throughout 'lndia by Mr. Henry Ricketts, and
what steps it was proposed to take in accordance with the
recommendations thereof ?

Lord STANLEY said the report in question had been
received, but without any expression on the part of the
Indian Government as to its contents. It was thought de-
sirable that there should be such an expression of opinion
and the Government at Calcutta had been communicated
with on the subject, but no answer had yet been received.
With reference to the second question, he believed a bill on
the subject had been introduced by the Indian Go-
vernment. . .

RESIGNATION OF THE MINISTRY.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—l
think it is only respectful to the house that I should
formally announce, what they already know, namely, that
in consequence of the late vote the house was -pleased to
arrive at, Lord Derby and his colleagues felt it their duty
to tender their resignation. Her Majesty had been graci-
ously pleased to accept that resignation of their offices.
We, therefore, hold office only until our successors are
appointed, and I am enabled to state that the noble lord the
member for Tiverton received orders to form a Ministry,
which I am also enabled to state he has succeeded in doing.
I think it would be most convenient to the noble lord that
the house should adjourn till Tuesday next, when the new
writs can be issued, and if any further adjournment be
necessary it can be used by our successors in office. He
concluded by moving that the house at its rising do
adjourn till Tuesday next.
The motion was agreed to.
