The Marquis of SALISBURY, after remarking
upon the absence of the Noble Lords connected
with his Majesty's Government, said, that as it wee
in his opinion of the utmost importance that there should
be a right understanding on the question which had
recently occupied their Lordships' attention. He now gave
notice of his intention to ask of his Majesty's Ministers to-
morrow, whether they intended to proceed on the Corn
Averages Bill ?
The LORD CHANCELLOR.--I can have no diffi-
culty in answering the Noble Lord, and in informing him
that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to pro-
ceed to the Bill in queation.
The Marquis of SALISBURY enquired on what day
the second reading was to tale place.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was not sate as to the
precise day, but believed the eesond reeding vu axed for
the day after to-morrow.
The Earl of BIALMESBURY said, that the question
respecting the Averages was very important. He wished,
therefore, to know whether it was intended to include in the
Bill, the Amendment made by their Lordships changing
the period at which the averages were to be taken, from
one to six weeks.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that that question
had not yet been decided, it was, he believed, under con-
sideration.

The Marquis of SALISBURY expressed his hope that
his Majesty's Ministers would be present to-morrow, as the
Average_Bill nips* materially 'and -the Bill introduced last
night in another place, ander such vary extraordinary cir-
ounstances.--(Hear, hear.)
Earl GROSVENOR wished to correct • mistake which
had gone abroad respecting the 'Manner in which his Noble
Friend, Lord Suffield, ganihis vote on the Corn Bill. His
Noble Friend did not, as had been stated in the printed
lists, vote for the Amendment. With respect to the Bill al-
luded to as having been brought in last night, he (Lord
Grosvenor), must say that he would be very much asto-
nished indeed, if Ministers had not brought in another
Bill. The Noble Lord made some other observations
which were not distinetly audible below the Bar.

The Marquis of SALISBURY was afraid that he had
not been distinctly understood. Indeed, it was difficult to
allude to the subject without violating the order of the
House. But, it certainly did appear from the public prints
that a Bill had been brought in last night with the most
extraordinary language.—(Hear, hear, and loud cries of
" Order.")
The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to impress upon

the Noble Lord the disagreeable consequences which
must result from any such allusion to the proceedings
of the other House. At the same time he was satisfied
that the Noble Lord must be incorrect in supposing

that any Bill had been brought in last night—
at least the fact had not some to his knowledge ;
he would therefore suggest to the Noble Lord the.
inconvenience not in point of form, but of a serious
character and description, whisk must follow from any
further allusion to the subject.

Earl GREY said that the irregularity had commenced

in the Noble Lord opposite, who had thought pro-
per to introduce an alluvinn to the Bill which had been
recently lost in that House, and to the conduct of
those, who not having introduced it, did not propose a

third reading.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—He agreed in the
disagreeable and mischievous consequences which always
followed such allusions. But if there was a mischief
greater than this, he was convinced, it was when
persons in authority cast reflections on their Lord-
shipQ. If this were repeated, it should be met &pit
with contempt ; and, if persevered in, with resistance.
The Marquis of SALISBURY did not know whether

what he saw in the prints amounted to breach of privi-
lege ; but he thought the persons. in authority to whom
they were attributed, if they had any regard or respect.for
decorum or their own character, ought to contradict then.

—(Loud cries of Order.)
Earl GREY forgot to mention when he was before on
his legs, the circumstance alluded to by the Noble Earl op-
posite. He lamented as much as that Noble Earl could,
that the lists should be incorrect, but he knew that the
proxy of the Noble Lord to whom be bad alluded had been
given for the not-contents.
Earl GROSVENOR said a few words, which we could
not hear.

The LORD CHANCELLOR submitted to the candid
consideration of their Lordships, whether it would not be
better to drop a discussion which could only excite dis-
Igreeable feelings. The subject was of great importance,
tud the less it was agitated the better. There was no mo-
tion before their Lordships.
A motion was then made to adjourn.
Lord ROSSLYN observed, that there were some Orders
of the Day not yet disposed of.
It was ascertained that there were none, and their Lord-
ships Adjourned.
