" should move that all persona maintained at the public
expense should be employed on some remunerative em-
ployment with .a view to the saving of their maintenance,

-NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Mr. B. OSBORNE gave. notice that on .the
Secretary of the Treasury moving for a vote of money
for the Houses of Parliament, he should move that the
vote be refused, and if he succeeded on that motion he
should call the attention of the House to the fuct that
the original estimate in 1837 was 770,104/, and that the
amount. incurred at present was stated at 2,045,9231.;
that the estimate was stated not to have received the
assent of the Commission. He should move a resolu-
tion that the House had no efficient control
over the architect, and that the expenditure
was lavish and injudicious; also that the Commissioners
be directed immediately, to furnish. an estimate of the
expense to be incurred; and that they be directed
to suspend all works of decoration and the fine arts.
Mr. HUME said he had, also intended to propose a
similar motion to that of the Hon. Gentleman.

NEW HOUSE OMONS.
Mr. B. OSBORNE was sorry F
to COM
be so troublesome to
the Hon. Member for Lancaster (Mr. Green)—
(Ltughter)—but he wished to ask that Hon. Member
if it was in contemplation to take down the gallery in
the Now House of Commons, which was at present at
the back of the Speaker's chair, and which was intended
to be devoted to ladies.
Mr. GREENE said it certainly bad been suggested
that the removal of the screen behind the Speaker's
chair would leave a space at that end of the House
which would form the best place for the public. Some
alteration was rendered necessary in consequt,nce of its
being proposed to allot the gallery at the bar end of the
House to Members.—(A laugh.) It was not, however,
thought desirable to make any alteration whatever till
the House should be occupied temporarily by Members
with the view of trying Voice--" Take it
doick altogether.") He telt it his duty to Mr. Barry,
