PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS AFTER THE R1.CP.6.-.

The order-book of the HonSe of Commons already pre-
sents fearful notes of preparation for business at 0;1: conclu-
sion of the present adjournment.
In the first place there are 32 election co-nail:tees t b:!
ballotted for. The ballots will take place on Tuesdays ;.nd
Thursdays ; two or three ballots on each of those days, and
'occupying till March 22. They precede all other business,
and will seldom be concluded till five o'clock ; but if the re-
quisitely large number of members should not be in :mood-
ance More four &clod:, so that ballots may 1)a contmenced,
the house must adjourn till the committees a;c obtained.
Even if there he the required number of members roJen• ,
neither private nor public business can be commove:l till tle•
ballots are over ; so that for two out of the four busitto.ut-day..
in the week, for the first seven weeks after the re-retsentblin;-:
of Parliament, business will seldom commence till live, in-
stead of three o'clock in the afternoon.

Amongst the election petitions, there is orn from Win -
chelsea, against John Williams, F.sq. and the lion. llenry
Dundas, the sitting members ; one from Clare (coenty,)
against James Patrick O'Gorman Mahon; one from Sea-
ford, against the Hon. Augustus Frederick Ellis ; one from
Drogheda (Maurice O'Connell, petitioner,) against John
Henry North, Esq. one from Durham, against Sir Roger
Greasly ; one from Petorafield (Lord Porehester and John
Ogle petitioners,) against Sir W. G. H. Joliffe, Bart. and
Gilbert E. Joliffe, the sitting members ; and one from Liver
pool, against William Ewart, Esq.
As to the business before the house, there are already ap-
pointed for specified days, between the 3d of February end
the 22d of March, 56 orders of the day, and 2S notice.; o:
motions ; it may be necessary to add that those 81
orders and notices are all upon separate and public questions
Bcsides these, there are'39-iraffFefiTinotions, (almost all of
them on great, important, and public qii...4;ons), to be
brought forward " after Christmas," but for which no par-
ticular days have been named ; and seven si'lic'a of motions
for " after the recess," making together, 56 oiders of the
day, and 74 notices of motions, already upon the Cummona
Order Book! Two of the notices at all event- must ba
given again ; one because it was given for the t 1.7 th of Feb.
1831, " but that day falls on a Sunday," say the orders,
and the other for a day that is not to be foetid in the whole
year—namely, the 29th of February; " hut there aro only
28 days in February, 1831," record the aforementioned or-
ders. Whether an appropriate day was fixed for the latter
notice, it may not be requisite to ask ; bat the notice is Mr.
Slaney's, to propose the appointment of a select committee
" to consider the necessity of securing open spaces in the
immediate vicinity of large and populous towns, fitted to
preserve health, and afford means of exercise to the work-
ing classes."
As to the number of notices and orders already fixed,
making together 130, calculating that one may occupy au
evening (excepting of course the ballots), and several of
them will, in their various stages, be brought forward on
many different evenings ; and calculating that there may be
even 120 working days, which down to the end of July
there will not be, excluding Wednesdays and the Easter
and Whitsuntide recesses, there is already fixed a tolera-
bly good quantity of business for the Commons on their re-
assembling, without any new bills being named, any mea-
sures brought from the Lords, and without any new no-
tices being given : and there are no notices in this list re-
specting the Government-measures regarding the ci% il list,
reform, budget, ways and means, dtc; &c.—motions and
measures that engage some few tolerably good long evenings,
and about 200 private bills bear no part in the above calcu-
lations, nor the presentations of petitions, and discussious
thereupon.

number left unsold on Monday last, there was an abundant aupply of

was much less than the supply.
