.I.OI"IT.RIES.

On the llotion of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
c HEQUER the house. resolved itself into a Commit-
tee of Ways and Means.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed a
Resolntitin for raising '250,0001. fur the service of the year by
way of tottery.
Mr. LUTELTON repeated his former arguments against
the profligacy of that mode of raising money, and expressed
his intent Mil of giving his negative to the proposition.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER contended that
the establishment of the Lottery, and the means taken to
prevent irregular gambling, were productive of more good
than

Sir M. W. RIDLEY Wattled the Right Hon. Gentleman for
raising 250,0001. in so immoral a way, after he had tal.en one
million out of the pockets of the Public to build Churehel.
Sir J. NEWPORT stated that the present system did not
prevent irregular gambling, as he had lately seen in an Irish
Paper, that one of the Sheriffs of Dublin, who was also a
Lottery Office-keeper, bad been convicted of having taken
illegal insura,:ces.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not aware
of such a case.having occur; ed in England.

Si► J. NEWPORT reminded the Right Hon. Gentlonan
that he was Chancellor "of the Exchequer fur Ireland as well
as for England:

Mr. WILBERFORCE condemned the Lottery as tending to
produce crimes, and to destroy industrious habits. Ile should
give his most solemn vote against the contntu.►ance of the
system.
Mr. B. HOWARD and Ms. WNI. SMITE! opposed it as in-
creasing instead of exhausting the spirit of gambling, and
forming,wit h the establishment of Savings Banks, the greatest
solecism possible. •
After a few words from Mr. LYTTELTON, the House di-
vided—

For the Resolution

The House then resumed, and the Report %V as urtlere,l to
he 'Ts:rived tomorrow.

BROGDEN brought up the Duke of Kent's Annuity
Bill.—The Resolutions were agreed to, and a Bill ordered to

CONINIIT fEE OF SUPPLY.

The House having gone into a Committee of
Supply,

Mr. PEEL moved the sum of 8,0001. fur forwarding the
svoriss at Dunmore Harbour.

Sir .1. NEWPORT hoped that a still greater improvement
would be made in the harbour than that now undertaken.--
Its importance, particulatly to Liverpool, might I,e conceived,
when it was known that 50, 60, and even 100 vessels, fre-
quently took shelter in it in a retch.
Mr. PEEL said, the completion of the work on the limited
scale would not interfere with its enlargement. It was de-
sirable to make the present experiment first.
The Resolution was th►n agreed to, a►s was one of nOOOl. for
the Harbour of flowth.

Mr. PEEL said, the next Resolution he should move was
one of 15,0001., in addition to a former sum, for the support
of the Fever Hospitals and other Estahli.linients for ellectiing
the fever, which, he was concerned to say, still prevniled io
some parts of Ireland to a great degree. He made the appli-
cation in consegnenee of information he had received
within these few days, which had convinced him the former
►would not he sufficient.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, if this sum were not enough, the
Right Hon. Gentleman ought to hare no hesitation in pro-
posing a larger grant.

Sir J. NEWPORT alluded tot he late communication of the
Bishop of Cork, from whteh it appeared that 9.5001. had bern
raised in that county alone by voluntary coutrillutions. He
was afraid the sum proposed was too small.
Mr. PEEL, in rep y, expressed his confidence, that if 30 or
40,0001. were deemed or tessary, the House would cheerfully
vote it, for checking the progu ess of this contagion ; but the
real and effectual aid must hr derived front voluntary contri-
butions of individuals. To hold out, therefore, that what
Government could do would be effectual, would be doing the
most serious injury.
Sir .1. NEWPORT expressed himself in strong terms
against the conduct of the Irish Noblemen and Gentlemen
who had absented themselves from their native country to
live in England. Thsy had nit met the efforts of the
in-
habitants to overcome this calamity; they had not contri-
buted one-tenth part as much, tint of the millions that they
drew from Ireland. It would he disgr..ceful to them to say
how little they had given.
The Resolution was then agreed to, as were the following:

in Ireland, after some ohservatious front Sir John Newport,
