MISCELLANEOUS.

In answer to a question from Colonel DAVIES,
The CH A NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, that
the Budget could not be deferred beyond Monday.
Mr. PEEL hoped that no objections would be made to the
Alien Bill going through another stage that night.
Mr. 110BHONSE expressed his &termination to oppose the
VA in every stage.

Mr. M. A. T-AYLOR, objected to the measure being gone
into .1t Sc) late an hour. The measure should have been brought
f ns...rd at an esirli..r period of the Session. Much time had been
l•„: from , here being no Houses, in consequence of the non-at-
t:adatice of Ministers.

Mr. Pi.:17.1. had repeatedly postponed the measure, at the re-
cuest of Hon. Gentlemen opposite. He conceived it to he the
duty of the lion. Gentlemen as much as of Ministers, to attend,
in order to make a House. _ .

Mr. TAYLOR would appeal to the Chair for the punctuality
of hil attendalce. The cries of " Chair, Chair!" were loud
and reiterated, but the Chair was mute.
After some farther observations, the Conunittee on the Alien
Dill was fixed 1.,:r Monday.

Mr. A 2RC :111IY moved for the production of the pro.
cetdings in the civil suit between Alexander and Bonhwiek ;
the ci imi::al proceedings by Alexander against Borthwick; and
preeognitioas and other informations by which the Lord
AdV.,:.lti And La 11:putti acted in their proceedings against
Thlnhwich.

Thr oth;:r Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
house adjourned at Twelve o'Cloek.
