committed; and some verbal amendments having
been made to the clauses, the Report was re.
ceived, and- the Bill ordered fur a third reading
to morrow,

Tile House went into a Committee on the Pen-
ryn Bribery Bill. The elause4 were agreed to,
and the Report ordered to be received to-

morrow.

The LORD ADVOCATIS of SCOTLAND was iln-
derstood to give notice, that he would wove for
leave to bring in a Bill, on Thursday nev, for
regulating certain proceedings in the Court of
Session in Scotland.

Mr. HARVEY, observing Gentlemen in their
places ou the Treasury Bench, was desirous of
asking whether the House was to expect any Re-
port from a Board of Inytiry, which he believed
hml been sitting now two years, for the purpose
of inquiring into the transactions of the Com-
missioners of the Board of Excise and of the
Customs.

Mr. LIiSHINOTON acknowledged the truth of
the Uonon I able Gentleman's observation as to
existence of such a Board, and he believed
it was intended to lay some Reports from it on
the table.

Air. HARVEY stated his intention of making
a motion upon theso Papers, When they should

e~iprAr,

Mr. Serjeant ONscow postponed the notice
which he hid before the House to the first Wed-
nesday in February tiext.

ARMY ESTIMATES.

I,nrd PALMF.as-roN laid on the table the Army
Estimates for the year 182.0,and gave notice ot his
intention to more, on Fr►tlay IleXt, for a vote on
account upon them, in which he slatrd he should
be tollowed by his Bight Hon. Friend the Secre-
tary of the Board ot Ordnance.

Mr. TIERNEY inquired whether these Papers
contained a statement of the number of men that
would be required to be raised for the service of
the ensuing year, and also of the expellee incur-
red, and saved, in the calling out of the Out-
Pensioners of Chelsea Hospital.
Lord PALMERSTON observed, that the present
Papers did not go into the details of the question,
which would hereafter be presented to the House,
but he thought they contained sufficient intorma-
lion to warrant his asking a vote on account.
Mr. TIERNEY was 1101 diTosed to think that
the Noble Lord would be justified in asking any such
Cute, unless he gave infolmation to the House of
the defni►e number of men to be raised for the
service of the period he claimed it upon.

DISFRANCHISEMENT OF BOROUGHS.
Lord J. RUSSELL was sure the House worth!
give him credit for participating in those feelings
of anxiety, which must he felt by all vho impose
on themselves the painful and invidious task of
bringing fors and to its notice defects in its own
Constitution.—(Hear, hear !)—Those feelings
were by uo means lessened in considering the
great changes which had taken plaice in the state
of the country since the close of the last Session
of Parliament, when he first proposed to bring
forward his present motion. It was impossible
not to perceive that the extreme irritation which
At present existed, was owing, to two parries in
the country—one of which persisted in its totea-
sonablee demands, whilst the other did not scruple
to rctnrn to theca an absolute denial; the one
