COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTCY.
Lord BROUGUAM, in the course of the morning, moved
for a return of the number of days the Commissioners of
Bankruptcy had sat for the last three months, distin-
guishing the several months ; and also for a return of
the amount of revenue for the Customs of Excise for the
current quarter, up to September. In moving for
the first return, the Noble Lord stated that
he hoped his Noble and Learned Friend on
the Woolsack would take an early opportunity of remov-
ing one of the greatest grievances which the suitors of
the City of London were subject to, namely, the Com-
missioners of Bankruptcy only sitting for two or three
days at most in a week, crowding twenty• seven or thirty
things into one morning's sitting.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had no authority over
them.

Lord BROUGHAM—Oh yes, you have, by the last Act.
He had great satisfaction in moving for the last return,
as it would show there was an increase at the rate of a
million a year in the Customs. That being the case,
and freight having risen 30 per cent. within the last two
months, such was the admirable and satisfactory state of
the trade of this country, that it made him grievously
regret there should be any people in the world so insane
as to wish for war.
Lord CAMPBELL said he only abstained from making
any observations on what had been said by his Noble and
Learned Friend, on the ground that it might be detri-
mental to the suitors, by preventing their Lordships
from giving their judgments in the different cases
before them.
Lord BROUGHAM was sure his friend did not mean to
say he was for war.
Lord CAMPBELL—NO; I should point out the best
mode to preserve peace.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as to the Commis-
sioners of Bankruptcy, they had enough now before
them in deciding questions on his Noble Friend's Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM said the Commissioners chose to
crowd twenty-seven or thirty cases into one morning's
business, in order to get away to their villas in the
neighbourhood of London ; and as to his Bill, they put
the most wrong and erroneous constructions upon it.
[LEFT SITTING.'

Chiltern Hundreds.—The motion was agreed to.

the subject of the sugar duties.

Majesty to thank you for your address of congratula-
tion on the birth of another Prince, and to express her

CLOSE OF THE SESSION

MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
We are commanded by her Majesty, in re-
lieving you from further attendance in Parliament,
to express to you the warm acknowledgments of
her Majesty for the zeal and assiduity with
which you have applied yourselves to the dis-
charge of your public duties, during a laborious and
protracted session.
The result has been the completion of many
legislative measures, calculated to improve the
administration of the law, and to promote the public
welfare.

Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to the
Bill which you presented to her Majesty for regulat-
ing the issue of Bank Notes, and for conferring cer-
tain privileges upon the Bank of England for a limited
period.

Her Majesty trusts that these measures will tend
to place the pecuniary transactions of the country
upon a sounder basis, without imposing any inconve-
nient restrictions on commercial credit or enterprise.
We are directed to inform you that her Majesty
continues to receive from her Allies and from all
Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition.
Her Majesty has recently been engaged in dis-
cussions with the Government of the King of the
French, on events calculated to interrupt the good
understanding and friendly relations between this
country and France.
You will rejoice to learn that, by the spirit of
justice and moderation which has animated the two
Governments, this danger has been happily averted.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,
We are commanded by her Majesty to thank you
for the readiness with which you voted the supplies
for the service of the year.
Her Majesty has observed, with the utmost
satisfaction, that by the course to which you have
steadily adhered in maintaining inviolate the public
faith, and inspiring a just confidence in the stability
of the national resources, you have been enabled to
make a considerable reduction in the annual charge
on account of the interest of the National Debt.
MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,
Her Majesty desires us to congratulate you on
the improvement which has taken place in the condi-
tion of our manufactures and commerce, and on the
prospect that, through the bounty of Divine Provi
dente, we shall enjoy the blessing of an abundan
harvest.
