Sir M. W. Runny asked when the Chancellor

that the Chester Cb Cult had been postponed for
'the purpose of enabling the Judge to attend a re-
, tenter at the ContishAssizes ?
The Soetrxroa-GENZRAL could give no answer,
• for he knew nothing on the subject, nor wAs it
in any way within his province. His
however, was, that the Circuit had nut beets de-
layed a day.
The Cil ANC:K.I.OR of the PENcilEcuma said, the

Mr.BEI4Na-tr. admit if there was any treat in the
report that Miryleboue church, which stood on
the property of the Duke of Portland, was to be
made over td Goeernmerit,- and Crown 'property
given the Duke elsewhere ih exchange. The office
of sexton in that chtirch was Worth 1,0001. per
annum ; that of clerk 1,0001.; and there were
other offices in proportion, all which influente was
to be added to the Crown. lie then inquired of
au Hoqwerable Member ('S'le.''Curwen) 'the state
his measures respecting thV Poor Laws. '
t‘lr. BROUGHAM and Mr.'Ctraten? mtutially (Hs.
e„lanned any idea of superseding '64ele ntlier's mea-
sures ; and the latter gentleman stated, 'tleit he
had experienced every 'assistance from a Noble
Lord (Clottlereagls) to whom he had submitted his
plaits. What would eventually be done must de-
pend on his Majesty's Ministers.,
Mr. CA4CRAVT' Cahill not conceive the Noble
torch had kept his protuise of giving every assist

`litthes in which relief for thee poor could no longer.
be levied. 11 the Honoorahle Gentleman (Mr.
Cur wen) considered this yieldiug every assistance.,
he. augured little ir,oOd from the Mtn, Gentlennin's
- motion. Indeed, he did not expret that much
esoultl be done in this department, When the
nsure Connitittee bag not yet complied with the
very retommendation from the Throne, that the
state of the finances should .be taken into early
and serious consideration. Parliament had sat
two months, and nothing had: been done.
Lord littiNtwo declared, that the Committee
bad laboured most assiduously (bete the Chancel-
lor of the Exchefrer Whispered something to the
Noble Lord), and had already produced two
Reports:
Mr. Stuades Botratea 'warmly. defended the
conduct of the Committee ; and contended, that
they would act wrong lu snaking hasty suggestions,
Mr: Cetatecti had seen the Noble Lord himself;
he had acted thirty years in Parliament for the
public
.good, and did not deserve the imputstiOn
of giving. credit too easily to his Majesty's Mi.
nisters.
Mr, P. Lewis said, the Committee had a most
extensive and difficult subject before them ; they
had a multitude of statutes to refer to, and it was
. is to decide on :questions piece-nteal. He
thought the Conuttittee wouht act negligently if
they made a report our any particular topic, whets
they 'were to embrace the whole'eange of the Poor
' Laws-. 'file, therefore, thought no distrust ought
to arise from 'the 'circumstance of their having
ttiade no report already. They had inquired into
the PoOr Laws as' a general subject, and rather as
relating to the country' in its crilinaty, titan in its
present extraordinary state. He believed it be-
yond al! human power to relieve' distress so exten-'
-.sive 'at the present ;.'and it wait better to consider
the Poor Laws by themselves, to take u 'view of
their general operation, than to incuuther them
• .with the vie* of temporary' difficulties.
;: •51 r. CALCaAYT explained. Perhaps the Corn.;
tuittee had pursued the best course, under all the
- circumstances : he had only 'stated the tact, that
nothing had yet been done.
After a few words from Mr. F.—Lewis, the
question respecting the adjournment to Monday
"se'ilnight: was put and carried.
The Salt Bill was read a fititfitne, and ordered
to be read a second time on Priddy fortnight.
