he oveilcoed by every house in Park-lane. In fact
Majesty could not be private ih sucha place. The
Regents Pik we:Awldistant, flans the State Offices,
and would be inconvenients will to his Majesty as to
his Ministers. The site of auctsliarn Hasse--had the
advantage of Possessing snow Wand full grown trees
about it, and would allow the erection of a palace in a
more ample and magnificent style. As to Carlton-
house, his Majesty was.not induced by caprice to lcive
it; but the House was rather inclined to leatie his,
Majesty. The alterations made in it by his Majesty,
had the effect of weakening the floors of the State-rooms
to such a degree, that on public days, it was usual to
support them by props raised in the 10w* rooms, in
which his Majesty was used habitually to reside. If
the Parliament should, at any future time, build a new
and magnificent palace for his 'Majesty, Buckingham
House may be wanted by some other member of the
Royal Family, a Queen-Dowager suppose, or an heir-
apparent. The House would remembcr what shabby
housei Princes of Wales have lived in before now. As
to the ground on which Carlton House now stood no-
thing specific had been determined on; but it may
either be left open or occupied by pi ivate buildings, or
public institutions, which would defray pact 01 the
expenses of rebuilding Buckingham Hous-. The Na-
tional Gallery of Paintings and the R 'yal Academy
ought to be temoved to that part of the town, and might
be placed on the site of Carlton House. It was grati-
fying to observe the eagerness and anxiety which his
M vaty sheaved in giving up.that Palace for the conve-
nience of the Public and the adornment of the Ci: y. and
that to the injury of his own comforts—(Hear, hear.) The new
Palace at Buckingham House could he built for about .EIOO,OOO,
not for less; yet that sum could raise a Palace worthy of a Sove-
reign of England.
Mr. HOBHOUSE was pleased with the plan of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, and be merely rose to ask whether a line of building%
saccordingto the plan of a Mr. Nash, was to be erected in the Bird-
cage Walk ? Unless be heard such was not the intention of G..
vestment he should move to smetid the Rill, by excluding such a
plan. The inhabitants on the spot had been alarmed by the report.
and his hope was that the Right Hon. Gentleman would give him
the same assurance be gave to the Member for Winchelsea the other
night, namely, that there was to be no encroachment on the Park.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the subject
alluded to by the How Gentleman had nothing to do with the Rill.
It was natural that ingenuity should be at work with respect to
plans. but he did not know they were to be acted upon. He was
sensible of the value of open spaces, and was not aware of any al-
teration like that to which the Hon. Member had alluded.

Sir. R. COLBORNEeepremed his approbation (tithe plan stated
by the Right Hon. Gentkman.
The Bill was then read the second time.
Mr. EA NEES rose on the question being put for committing the
Bill, and observed; that they were they building a Picture Gallery
in another place, and ft was unfortunate that Carkon Palace was
not mentioned before the architect began. With respect to the
repairs of liuckingkam House, he thought it would be cheaper to
pull down tbt building and erect a new edifice.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained.
The Bill was tben ordered to be committed to-morrow.
• . The Scotch Judicature BLit was read the third tints and passed.
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House
adjourned at Hatr-ran On o'Cr.ocx.
