IFhe SPEAKER said, the Hon. Gentleman could
rot move an adjournment, as there was another
Hon. Member in possession of the House. lie
would put it to the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Lamb-
ton), n hether any advantage could be derived to
the decorum and dignity of their proceedings,
whether proper respect could be, he would not
say created, but even preserved, by carrying this
subject further ? If the House, as they seemed
to intimate, saw the thing in the same point of
view, he hoped they would support him.-(llear !)
LAMBTON said, he was ready at all times
to bow to the decision of the Chair. Ile could
Lot but lament that the question had gone off
without further consideration. It might be pro-
ductive of no small evil to have it supposed out
of doers that so important a subject did not re-
ceive due attention.

Mr. LiuslossoN hoped the House would in-
dUlge him in one or two observations, as he had
been so pointedly alluded to. So far was the
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Lanabton) 'from attri-
buting to its true cause any expression that
might have appeared on his countenanCP, that he
was in conversation with the Member for Lin-
coln, and the laugh was occasioned 'on his part,
something that occurred- In that conversation.
When the Hon. Gentleman. (Mr. Lambton) saw
I.lm simile, he could assure him that he was not
than aware that the Hon. Gentleman had entered
the House.

D.lwsox could assure the Hon. Member,
that" he was absent at the time of the division,
,and was as much surprised as the Hon. Member ;
and he could also assure the Hon. Member, that
the smile which' was observed upon his (Mr.
D.'s) countenance, was caused by quite a different
subject.
Mr. WHITBREAD did not wish to protract this
discussion, neither did he wish to take the Hon.
Member for Durham under his protection ; but
be rose merely for the purpose of stating, that
other Iron. Members could not judge of the
feelings of the Hon. Member for Durham by
their own, as they were not, in his opinion, in a
similar situation ; and also for the purpose of
e*pressing his regret that it should go forth to
the country, that a question of such importance
as the present had been. decided as it had been,
and that the supporters of it should be taken by

surprise.
Mr. BROUGHAM did not think the absence or
the presence of the lion. Member for Durham
would have made any difference in the disposal
of 'the question ; and he did not think the lion.
Member ought to take so seriously that • which
appeared to him (Mr. B.) the merest accident.
With respect to inattention, he did not think
that Hon. Member, who was as attentive to his
duty as any Hon. Member of that House, could
be fairly charged with it. He regretted the way
is which this question had been disposed of ; but
he must again repeat that he did not• think the
acridental absence of his Hon. Friend a sufficlent
hason for closing the debate.
After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER, the Bill was read a second time,
and ordered to be committed.

The other Orders of the Day were then d;F-
posed of, and the House adjourned at NINE
O'CLOCK.

FREEMASONS' TAVERN.—A: meeting of Re-
formers took place yesterday, Major CART-.
WRIGHT in the Chair.—The venerable Major,
Mr. WOOLER, and others, congratulated the
meeting on the rejection of the Catholic Bill,
which (cunning dogs!) they had discovered to
be nothing more than a Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties, calculated only to increase the influence of
Ministers and prevent a Reform in Parliament ! !
(Morning Post.)

13 Int P. Tr PT CT.—Tuesday a meeting of HOWARD and
OtrAs's creditors took place. The meeting was appointed for
the final examination of the bankrupts, but they stated that,
from the,g-reat extent of their transactions, they had found it
impossible to be fully prepared. The Commissioner, in con-
sequence, appointed the 12th of May for the final examination,
wren it was understood no further delay should take place.—
` everrd creditors proved their debts, but nothing of any interest
cceurred.

ANNIVEZSARY OF LUCK !—lt was the custom
of the Romans to set apart certain days in the
3..ar as being extraordinarily lucky, add. which
1.!-,(,y termed white days, because whatever they
tigudertook on those days was sure to prove suc-
cessful. This present 19th of April well deserves
to come under that denomination, as it must ,be
in tire recollection of the Public, that on this day
six years, (19th April 1815,) BI3H sold all the
Three hirly Thousand Pound Prizes ! which
singular event is recorded in conspicuous letters,
occupying the whole front'of his house in Corn-
Lill and this, circumstance has impressed itself
so deeply in the recollection of adventurers, that
large purchases are always made at his. Office on
the anniversary of that day. That Bisn's good
fortune has rather increased than declined since
that period,is a point not to be ilisputed, for in the
very last Lottery, (just finished) he shared and
sold Three Prizes of ;01,000; and that the
Public, in addition to this.stimulus, have a better
reason than ever for distinguishing this day, by
their purchases at his offices, must be evident,
when they recollect that in the present Lottery,
all the 221,000 Prizes, and all the other 4,005
Capital and Small Priers must all be drawn 17th
next Month, (May) and that a Whole Ticket
Chance is only 14 Guineas, and a Sixteenth ONLY
Ora Pouzira!
