SUPPLY,

The order of the day was then put for the House
going into a Committee of Supply to vote the navy
estimates.
Mr. HUME protested that it was not fair at that late
hour to go into a Committee of Supply,
Dr. BOWRING intimated that several Hon. Members
had left the House on the understanding that these esti-
mates were not to be brought forward that night.
Mr. HOPE thought the House could have no objec-
tion, even at thel late hour, to vote the estimate for
victuals.
Sir ROBERT PEEL, however, seeing it was the wish
of the House not to proceed, consented to the postpone-
ment of the Committee.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ap-
pointed Wednesday for going into Committee.
Captain PECITIELL could hardly believe it was the in-
tention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to take the Navy
Estimates on Wednesday evening.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no
objection to do so, if the Hon. and Gallant Member
wished it.
Captain PECHELL had held a seat in the House for
nearly ten years, during which they had never taken
the n .vv estimates on a Wednesday ; and he had no
wish to depart from this rule now.
MUSEUbiS BILL, _

The House then went into a Committee on the Public
Museums Bill. It went through Committee, and was
ordered to be reported to-morrow.
GLASS BILL.

The Glass Excise Duties' Bill also went through
Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow.
The report of Supply was received and agreed to.
The Mutiny Bill and the Mariae Mutiny Bill were
read a second time.
INDIA EXPORT DUTIES.

Mr. HUME wished to know if he was at liberty to
ask the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Jocelyn) if he could
place before the House a copy of the draft of the Act
imposing import duties on goods sent to India.
Lord JOCELYN said he had no objection to produce
the draft Act. As to the Governor-General of India he
(Lord Jocelyn) could only say he acted in perfect ac-
cordance with the directions of the Board of Contr.ul.
Mr. M. GIBSON hoped the Government would re-
consider this subject before they had finally decided on
the India Import Duties.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock.

WILL OF LADY ITOARE.—The will of the widow
of the late Sir H. Hoare, Bart., banker of Fleet-street, has
been proved. Her own personal property is sworn under
8,0001. She bequeaths the bulk of her
property to her
daughter, Julia Lethbridge, the wife of John Hesketh Leth-
bridge, Esq., for life, and after her decease for her children.
Her son Henry is to have the picture of General Acland, and
the china and plate, and the gold cup given to her late hus-
band Sir Henry, by the General. There are several other
bequests to the family. Her executors are B. Scott and
Christopher Pearse, Esqrs,
FIRE AND Loss or LIPE.—On Saturday morning
last, between eight and nine, the private dwelling-house of
Mr. Lane, No. 2, Union.• street, Friar-street, Southwark, was
set on fire, through a child playing with lucifer-matches. It
appears that some of the neighbours were suddenly alarmed
by hearing loud and piercing screams proceeding from the
first room on the first-floor. They immediately ran up to
that portion of the building, when they found the bed and
furniture burning with great fury and a little child, about
four years of age, was in the midst of the flames. After
considerable trouble the child was got away, but not before
it was most frightfully burned about the body, so much so
that death soon put an end to its sufferings. The engines
were remarkably quick in arriving, but, owing to the exer-
tions of the inmates, the fire was extinguished without call-
ing the engines into operation.
