THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

Mr. HERRIES brought in a Bill to enable his
Majesty to make a further provision for'their Royal Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess of Clarence. The Bill was read a first time.

Mr. HUME hoped that this Bill would be read a
second time when there was somebody in the House. Consider-
ing the present thinstate of the House, he could not designate the
introduction of this Bill,rst so Late an 1:onr, by any other term than
that of smuggling it through the House. He had been strongly
inclined to have the House counted when it was proposed to read
the BM a first time.
Mr. HERRIES repelled, in the. strongest terms,
the insinuation which the Hon. Member had made against him,
when he said that he had smuggled the )3ill that evening through
the House.
Mr. HUME replied, that, in .what he had said, he
had no intention to wound the feelings of the Hon. Gentleman,
for whom he entertained *try, siucere respect.
The Bill was then ordered to be printed, and to be read a
second time on Thursday next.
Mr. FIUME gave notice, that he would to-morrow
move for espies of the pension list of England; Scotland, and Ire.;
land.

The Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned at 11 o'clock.
Erratum.—LAn error (which, we believe, was general through-
out the MOrning papers) appeared in our parliamentary report
yesterday. The diviiion was, for the resolution respecting the
grant, to the Duke of Clarence, 173 against 57.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

A Return of the Number of Bills filed, in each of the last seven
years, in the Equity Court of Exchequer ; stating the latest
number retraining to be "heard.
I certify, that the number of Bills filed during the years afore-
said; is as follows:

1822
1823
And I further certify, that it .is found impossible to state to
your Honourable House, the latest number of such. Bills remain-
ing to be heard, inasmuch -as many. of those .latterly filed may .
never be brought to issue, c set down for hearing, .and many of
them have been compromised by the parties thereto, without the
knowledge of the Officers of the. Court ; but the number of
Causes now standing in the General Cause Paper of the last
Term, in which publication has not passed, and which are con-
‘,.quently not ready for hearing, is twenty-nine ; and the number
I of Causes now remaining in the:Lord Chief Baron's Paper ready
for hearing, is twelve.
