tlic practical question before the House, and had templed all
the rest of his speech in defending his own Bill. The tral-
tion, whether there was distress in the couleur not, waa
a proper subject for deliberatien before a ittec, a-d
there was so much difference of epistles ti at it ought to be
investigated. The Ministers denied tiat there was any ais.
tress [No, no! front Mr. Peril it had been so arced then
by the Honeurable Member from &amber. He stated that
there was no distress in Coventry but his hon. friend, who was in
the habit of slaking hands with the rilibon-weavers every day, was
there, and knew nothing of the prosperity spoken of by the hon.
member. The hon. member had then referred to Ueda ; but theie
was a member on the spot—he hardly knew how to designate lii,r,
the member for Newark—he might call him the able -the
lightened —the accomplished—able. as a writer- -enlightened, its a
reasoner—striking in his eloquence, and accomplished in leastrintr,,
both ancient and modern (continued langlater)—the Worthy, If he
might so call him, member for Newark (laughter) was there to
correct the statements of the llocononrable Member fur Bramber,
and show that at feeds, as in other towns. there was gretxt
distress. Ile should like to hare the condition of the country ex-
plained by the Budget of ilia Right Honourable Gentleman
which had not been opened ; and wishing to have this informs.
don, thinking that the li•ruse ought to go into a Select Cot, .
mittee. and knowing that on former occasions, when disc us
was complained of. it hail been customary to grant such a Cut -
mittee. he should vote for the Amendment of his H0n0ura..,...
Friend. His Hon. Friend had played the old soldier with hit, ,
and left him, and all the other Gentlemen on that side, wheal 1 e
believed he might call Ultra Tories, as much in the dark as the
right hon. secretary. It was a fallacy to suppose that if they went
into a committee they MUM necessarily discuss the currency ques-
tion. There was no necessity fur them to do any such thing ; and
it might be a direction to the committee that this question—to
meddle with which ite was in conscience much opposed—should
not be touched on by the committee, which night be directed en
inquire into the distress alone. In former cases select committee:
had been granted, and he considered it the duty of ministers to grant
such &committee row, though they might limit the inquiry into
the distress. lie rejected and re pitdiated all ir.quiries into the cur-
rency. The hon. and learned gentleman concluded a speech *litel:
was heard with manifest marks of impatience, by declaring that he
meant to vote for the select committee, when the hon. and learned
member sat down.

Mr. O'CONNELL rose amidst loud and long-continued cries of
"Question !" and other minks of impatience. Having at length
obtained a hearing, he said that he could not do his duty to his Lon.
stituents, without proposing that the debate might at that late hour
be adjourned.--[Loud cries of " No. no!" and " Oo on !"]
Mr. O'CONNELL'S motion having, however, been seconded. tl: e
SPEAKER put the question.
Mr. Secretary PEEL rose, and said that he thought there had
been a fair opportunity for the house to discuss the question, and
enter into it much at large. (cheers.) He could not consent to
postpone the discussion further--tu extend it to a fourth night. 11,.
had postponed all other business that this might come on early, aid
were he to consent to a further adjournment, it would cause tb:
public business to be neglected. He should therefore find it 1.'4
duty to take the sense of the house,which seemed to think that cm.
discussion had been carried far enough on the motion—(cheers.)
Mr. C. DAVENPORT said there were Nati dozen friends mar
him who yet desired to address the house. and he should tuppmt
the motion for an adjournment.
Sir E. SNATCH BULL said that he and malty other mem tn.• 1.4
were anxious to say a few words on this most important subject.
After a conversation between Mr. HUSE I RSO N, Ml*. DAVENPORT,
Mr. O'Coxszu., and several other members, the house divided un
the question that the debate be adjourned till Monday—
Ayes.

A 3ltansta then proposed that the debate be adjourned till that
day six months • but Mr. Peel and others being averse to the dis-
posal of the question in that manner, after such protracted (Hull,-
sion, it was finally agreed, at the end of a conversation of half a::
hour, that the debate on the motion be adjourned till Tuesday nett.
The Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House ad.
