there were two distinct parts in tbe clause. The second
part was tte one which would confer on the bosri new
powers, and he had no objection to give it un. But he
dtd not think it would be deirable that the Committee
should deprive the b,.ard of the power of affirming any
orders at present in existence, which power they would
receive under the first part of the clause.
Sir J. G RAHA M said that his objection SVIS certainly
directed principally against the later part of the clause.
But he thought that even the former part of it ought
to undergo some limitation; and he would suggest to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer the propriety of with.
drawing the clause for the present, and of causing it to
be printed in its amended form, when it could he con-
sidered under the most favourable circumstances by the
House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
had no wish to press the clause upon that occasion. He
was sorry to have to state that in consequence of the
illness of his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the
Board of Customs, he had not been able to communi-
cate with him upon that subject.
After a few words from Me. HUME and Mr. HENLEY,
the cause was struck otr.
Clsu,es up to '22 inclusive were agreed to.
Clause '23 having been put.
Mr. ANDERSON morel an ertymultir.nt to the effect
th..it wood imported into tbe Orkney and the Shetl4nd
islands 'or the construction of boats should be exempzid
from all duty. That would be proiluctivt• of considora-
ble a ivaatsge to the poor inha-thants of those
white it cool,' ocea-ion no serious loss to the revenue.
The CIIAIRMAN said the corollate repesi of r•

duty could not be proposed without the a!d of a prelim
nary Committ?e of the whole Howe.
The chum was then ordered to stand part of the B:1

The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the
13111 r. ported ti the House, to be read a third time to-
morrow (:his day).
MARLBOROUGH HOUSE.
Tl:e Marlborough House Bill then vent into Com-
mittee.

Mr. HUME said the Bill was premature, and it more-
over indicat'd great distrust of a future Parliament.
There wore Kensington Palace and St. James's Palace,
and dso Himpton Court, which should be turned to ac-
count for the junior members of the Royal Family. Un-
less there was some reason given for the Bill Le (Mr.
H.) should move that the Chairman do leave the chair,
and so put an end PI the Bill.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he had on the former
occasion assigned the reason the Honourable Member
desired.

Mr. fIUME said that was not sufficient. The stricter
economy should be studied by the Go►ernment. I
was not to ba borne to multiply palaces in this manner.
The Committee then di►ided, when there appeared—
For the motion
Against it ... ... 115
Majority ... ... —6l

Mr. MOWATT-objeCted.to proceeding with the
The atmospherG of the House was most abominable,
He was desirous cf relieving the House from the in-
tolerable evil t the health and lives of the Members.

Lord J. RUSSELL said, to act on that principle would
be to put a stop to all the business of the country.
The clauses of the Bill were agreed to.
Mr. HUME said it was a mockery to talk about
raving the public money, when palaces were multiplied
in this manner. The next thing would be stables; and
then the usuql expenses.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the materials of Carlton
Riding-house would be made available for the stables.
Mr. HUME could only bear his testimony to the gene-
ral corruption of the House.
The Bill was then reported, and ordered to be read a
third time.
