cry against the poor-law arose from the rating
of small occupiers. That was one reason why be supported the
motion for an inquiry. He would never shrink from supporting
a measure founded on a principle such as the Hon. Gentleman
stated. One pod result from this would be, that the agricul-
tural interest would feel themselves benefited by it. The Go-
ferninent ought to try and relieve themselves, not at the ex-
penis 'of others, but ought to relieve themselves at their own
expense.
Sir JOHN T YRRELL—He thought if ever there was a
subject that had been exhausted in that House, it was the dis-
cussion of the agricultural interest.—( Cheers from the Oppo-
sition.) He understood that cheer. It meant that
the landlords had practised a sort of legerdemain upon
the agricultural interest. That was not the case. He had
met all the agricultural delegates; and if there was one point
on which they were agreed, it was that the Government had
betrayed their interests and not their landlords. On the part
of the agriculturists, he utterly denied that they were in favour
of high prices. If they were to have benefits, the nianufac •
turing interests, he thought, ought to have them also. He be-
lieved, if the Committee was granted, the agriculturists would
come out of it with clean hands. He was ready to go into the
investigation, but he did not think the appointment of the
Committee necessary.

BOWRING was sure that the appointment of the
Committee would be productive of the best effects, as inquiry
was only necessary to show the necessity of removing the evils
complained of.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House di-
vided, when there appeared-- .
For the motion
Against it .....
Majority against the motion 73
Captain PECHELL moved for a copy of a letter from the
Secretary of the Admiralty to the Secretary of the Treasury,
transmitting a memorial from certain paymasters and pursers of
the Royal Navy, relative to an increase of their half-pay, with
a copy of the reply thereto from the Lords of the Treasury.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted the
motion.

Sir C. NAPIER seconded the motion.
Sir J. GRAHAM said that the whole cue of the pursers
had been fully investigated, and specific arrangements had been
made with respect to their pay and half-pay.
The motion was then put from the Chair, and it was
negatived.

Mr. MIME then moved for an address for copy of any in-
structions sent by the Government to the astronomers of the
several observatories at home and abroad in the years 1837-8.
Also, a return of the number of volumes of astronomical ob-
servations that have been made at each Observatory since that
year: and a statement of the number of reports and communi-
cations from them to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, to
the Admiralty, and to any other department at home.
Dr. BO WRING then moved for an account of the finally
audited receipt and expenditure for ordnance services, com-
pared with the sums estimated, for the year ended the 31st day
of March, 1844, with explanatory statements of particulars,
and balance sheet, in the same form as the return laid before
Parliament in the session of 1844 (No. 386), relating to the
Army.

After some little discussion he asked leave to withdraw the
motion.

After the disposal of the other orders of the day, the House
adjourned at a Quarter to One.

The Proprietor, in redeeming his promise to produce a "Different
Subject each Season," continues the Series of Remarkable and Beau-
tiful Places by presenting
A MAGNIFICENT MODELLED REPRESENTATION OF
EDINBURGH,
The Pride of Scotland and of Scotchmen, and the immortal Scott's
" AM Romantic Town," introducing the Old and New Town, the Nor'
Loch, as it formerly existed, the Calton Hill, Nelson's Monument,
Arthur's Seat, Salisbury Craggs, the Castle, Sir Walter Scott's Monu-
ment, the Royal Institution, Holyrood Palace, and all the most inter-
esting features of " Auld Reekie."

The drawings were made byvMr. Danson on the spot, and present
a bird's-eye view of the principal objects of the Old and New Town,
the Firth of Forth, &c. And from the more than usual care taken in
the execution, is allowed to be the happiest production of Mr. Dan-
son's pencil.

The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this
Enablishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale. Mr.
GODFREY has been occupied since the close of last summer, in com-
posing and arranging a varied and pleasing succession of superior
Novelties, which will be produced in rotation, including some Ori-
ginal Pieces by Foreign Composers, not yet performed in this country.
Messrs. Harrisons, the celebrated Performers on the Itock Ilar-
monicon, from Covent-garden Theatre, will perform every Day
during the week from three till eight o'clock.

FIREWORKS ever attempted. The er.tire of the Gigantic Model
will be Illuminated. The different devices in front of the houses, the
tires on the Calton Hill, Arthur's Seat, and the surrounding Moun-
tains, the illumination of Nelson's Monument, and all the rejoicings
which took place on her Majesty's Visit will be accurately pour-
trayed. And, as a Finale, a grand Aquatic Royal and Patriotic
Tableau, Fifty Feet in Height, will be exhibited in the centre of the
Lake The Portraits of her Majesty and Prince Albert, surmounted
by Fame, and surrounded by emblems and other devices will be in-
produced. The Tableau designed and executed by Mr. Damon.
Mr. Southby has been occupied for months in giving effect to this
matchless and sc,,erb design which combined with the Faux D'Arti-
ice, the Salute and Discharge of Rockets from the Castle and sur-
rounding heights, will form the most brilliant Pyrotechnic Display
r witnessed.
