MEDICAL REFORM BILL.

An Hoe'. MEMBER presented a petition, signed by the
surgeons of Wrexham and its neighbourhood, against the
Medical Reform Bill.
Mr. HOGG presented a petition from certain East India
sugar growers, praying for a reasonable protection against the
importation of foreign sugar; also from the East India and
China Association, expressing apprehension on account
of the proposed discriminating duty between Muscovado and
cloyed sugar—an attempt which, the petitioners stated, must be
attended with trouble, delay, vexation, and fraud.
Lord SANDON presented a petition from the Liverpool
Peace Society against the proposed additional grant for the
navy. Also a petition from certain tradesmen of Bethnal-
green, praying the House to take measures to prevent the de-
secration of the sabbath.
Lord ARUNDEL presented a Petition from Burton, in,
Lonsdale, in the county of York, against the increase of li-
censes granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors.
NOTICES OF MOTION.—COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.
Dr. BOWRING gave notice that to-morrow he would move
for sundry returns relating to colonial accounts.
WINDOW-TAX.
Lord DUNCAN gave notice of his intention, en a future
day, to bring forward the following motion :—" That the taxes
levied on windows were a great burden on the country—unjust
and unequal in their operation, most oppressive on those who
had to bear them, and ought therefore to be immediately
repealed." While he was on his legs he would take the oppor-
tunity of answering the question put to him the other evening
by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's
Government, who, he regretted to see, was not in his
;lace. It appeared to be the general opinion that they
should go on with the adjourned debate to-morrow evening,
and, as he understood all other Honourable Gentlemen
who had notices on the paper for that night agreed to
postpone them, it would be most injudicious in him if
he persisted in pressing his motion. He, therefore,
begged leave to give notice that he would bring on his motion
on the subject of the window-tax on Monday evening, on the
question being put that the Speaker leave the Chair to go
into a Committee of Supply.—( Hear, hear. )
Sir WILLIAM CLAY moved that the petition of George
Smith, distiller, and James Scott Smith, rectifier, presented
38th February, be printer.—Ordered.
HOUSE OF KEYS.
Dr. BOWRING moved for copies of any memorials which
have been presented to her Majesty's Government from the Isle
of Man on the subject of a reform of the House of Keys.—
Ordered.

that be se, he (Mr. Aglionby) was rather unfortuara.t.e in
being obliged to object to that arrangement, as he had alreadyn
made appointments for that day which would prevent his at-
tendance. On Friday morning he would be obliged to
attend as Chairman of a Committee on private Bills,
and, therefore, it would be quite impossible for him
to attend on that day upon his Lordship's Corn-
arittees. It was not for him (Mr. Aglionby) to say
whether the Noble Lord had acted right or not in making this
arrangement ; but others might be placed in a situation similar
to his (Mr. Aglionby's), and in addition to that, he would say
it was rather to be regretted that those morning sittings had
been fixed at so early a period of the session.—(Hear.)
