pained that his motion on the subject of Exchequer bills was not
fixed for last night, but for the 17th. Having, given the notice

not an answer to that Report. He stated, in contradiction to a
rumour, that Mr. Percival was regularly appointed to sign Ex-
chequer bills. _

The Marquis of,Clanricarde referred to the late decision con.
earning marriages by Dissenters in Ireland, and received from the
Duke of Wellington the same assurance that Sir Robert Peel had
given in the other House, namely, that a Bi'l would be immediately
introduced to remedy the evil. Their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons, a considerable number of petitions were pre-
sented for the abolition of the Corn-laws.

In answer to Mr. O'Connell, who complained of informers being
employed in Ireland, and so learning to swear away men's lives,
Lord Eliot said the employment of such miscreants could not, he
was afraid, be dispensed with.
In reply to Mr. C. Buller, Sir R. Peel said there was no inten.
ti9n to make any alteration in the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, and he hoped the two new Vice-Chancellors, who had
already reduced the arrears lion:1'500 to 200, would assist the Privy
Council.

Texas had not been confirmed by the present Government.

aiately ask an opinion of the House.

ZON.

The Times makes mention of a pamphlet supposed to be written
by General Cass, the American Minister at Paris, on the subject of
the right of search, which pamphlet our Contemporary describes
" as a shrewd performance, written with some spirit, and a very au.
dacious unlairness of argument.'"
The Herald hints a sort of gentle and qualified dissatisfaction
with Ministers, observing " that the amendment of the Cotn.law is
to be made the stalking horse—the cheval de bataille of the Session.
The people sulfa', and all that Government proposes to do for the
removal of that suffering is, it is anticipated, to increase the impor.

tations of foreign corn!"
The Post eulogizes the present Government in its most honied
style, and expresses its opinion that the present Ministers would
have amended the Corn-law, whether the question had been agi-
tated by the late Ministers or not.
The Chronicle thus alludes to the promised Law Reforms by Mi-
nister. We can hardly be expected to admit that they,are better
law-reformers than their predecessors, merely for promising what
the latter promised, until we see that they excel them in perform.
