Upon the motion being read,
Mr. A. BARING, in a very low tone, asked the
Chancellor of the Exchequer why a similar Return which he had
moved for, with respect to Guernsey (as we understood) had not
been laid before the House ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
was unable to state the reason. He did not see any practical dif-
ficulty in the way of such a Return being made, and he would
certainly inquire why the Order had not been complied with.—
Tbe Address was then agreed to.

Mr. BERNAL moved for a Return, specifying the
amount of the tonnage, the number of the crews, and whether
men or boys, of all vessels which have cleared inwards or outwards
laden with grain, from and to the port of London to all parts of
the world, during the period from the Ist of January, 1816, to
the Ist of January, 1826.

The CHANCELLOR of' the EXCHEQUER
suggested the propriety of altering the date to the 10th of October.
Considerable diarulty had been created by making up Returns of
particular portions of a year ; and as the Returns were already
made up to that period,. it would be much more convenient to
comply with the Order to the 10th of October, if it would suit
the Hon. Member's wishes. Indeed he was not quite sure that
such a Return was not already before the House.—The Return
was then ordered to the 10th of October.
