Mr. HUME observed that there had been so much talent
and capital employed by Mr. (Jamey that the carriages were
entitled to exemption.
Mr. (3. DANI'SON observed, that ore Turnpike Bin had
pawed, which taxed steam cartiages to the extent of I la. as
co:npared with 2e. as contrasted with other carriages. He
hoped'nothing would be done to throw obstructions in the
was of these improvements.
Mr. S. WOR ('LEY said, that the steam carriages in-
jured the roads much more than other carriages.
Sit M. II lULEY ecid that might be, but the difference
in the toll was preposterous.

all sirned a petition in favour of the Reform Bill.
Sir C. WETHEItELL said it was now beginning to be
understood all over England, that the Reform Bill was a
disfranchisement bill.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said he would take that
opportunity of giving some explanation of his observations
lln the debate last night. He had supported the Reform Bill
in the last and present parliament, and should continue to
support it; and the schedules that lisrmed an important part
of it; but knowing that one parish of the borough of Appleby
had been omitted in the population returns of 1821, he felt
anxious to give the inhabitants an opportunity of proving
that fact before the house. If that fact was proved, he was
confident the noble lord and the house would consent to Ap-
pleby returning one member.
Sir S. WORTLEY moved, that during the present ses-
sion of parliament, all orders of the day set down for Mon.
day, Wednesday, or Friday, should he disposed of before any
other business was proceeded on. This, he thought, would
expedite the business.
Sir R. PEEL said he would only consent to the resolu-
tion as an experiment ; as it appeared doubtful whether it
would be productive of the expected convenience.

ment did not claim any priority foe their orders, the resolution
would be productive of convenience.
The resolution was then agreed to.

to part from it.
Mr. BURG E postponed it to 2d August.

State for the Home Department, at the request of the Quar-
ter-master General, according to custom on review days, foe
the protection of the public. Carriages were formerly ad.
witted by tickets on review days ; but to prevent complaints
of partiality, no tickets were issued on Monday. (Hew.)
