Sir T. TURTON cliarglerised the B',ll as repleie
with absurdity as well as insulting and degiading to

Mr. PONSONBY wishes to call the attention of -the
Flouse to the nature of the provieetis on that !Tub-
ject. •By that clove: nearly t:,! entire Household,
was placed under Ihte contr. ul 01 her-Maiesty, at.

evident, thetefore, that this clause was nut only
without the *authority of the Resolution of the r
vioes Committee, but in &tett opposition to it,: In
the Committee on the Bill! he bud 'proposed certani-
Anteedin'ents, to which tabjeetions had been

One Hon. Gentleman in' particular, to w' ob,e ()pi.
nion his late Official situation anti the perspicuity to
his mind gave great weight he meant a late Secre-
taryof the Treasury (Mr, finskisson), bad objeded
to his Amendment, that they erected ei new Horsed
under the Gmotn of the Siole of 81) anomalous
tore, and Ulla it would give to that Offieer an um-
e.ontrowied power over a certain part of the tepee-
dittite of the Privy Parse, for which the Lord Gleirn-
berlaiu, the Loid Steward of the I,loinieb.,H, eye
the Master of the Horse, wereeesponsible. This
last objeetton he found ou consideration to he sup-
ported by varioes A:Ptis of Perliamerit, and he bed
therefore framed Ms present Amendments so as to
Obviate it. He had tills° 'endeevotred distinetly to
specify the' offices which, in his opinion, ought to
be placed under the patronage of her Majesty, et
those which ought to remain under the pail-tillage
of the Reeeent ; so that tro doubt should exist en the
subjeal. It watrhis intention, likewise, to move the
oreireioti of that provtsion, of the clan c: which
hibited the Regent

Chamberlain, who WAS not to 130 under his Royal
Highness's -eoa rout. It had been said in the
Committee, that the Prince might bate his oe

not a little remarkable, -that in wording ,the Bill it
Was seld that her Majesty should heve tee diteetee

ords were used, because the Bill would he it

to be asked what " portion ?" it was found teat ;IA
the great 10thcets but.. tevo were to coastiMie that
" portion." His first Amendment would go to

Household to be pieced under her Majesty's sole di-
reaion and eontruul, during the centinueoce of ids
Majesty's illness., They were as follow

The Amendment thus modified, would,'he trust-
ed, obviate the two objettiens made to it the OtIKT
evening, namely, that it was *not sufficiently spe-
cific, anti, that it Interfered with the order or
