Mr. BROUGHAM also presented a Petition from certain Ro-
man Catholics in the County of Waterford, complaining of a false
and tloellova publication which appeared its the Thaw Newspaper
of the 6th of March last, and purporting to be a speech delivered
in that House. The Petitioners stated that they were the tenants
of the Marquis of Watetford, and were represented in 'the said
publication to have been forced, in consequence of the threats of
their Clergy, to vote for Mr. Villiers Stuart, against their coo-
science, and in opposition to promises previously given.
. Mr. CANNING said he did not think the Petition could be re-
ceived. As it did not complain of a breach of privilege, it mast,
he conceived, be looked upon as containing a covert allusion to the
proceedings of that House.

servations of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He should, therefore,
withdraw the Psoition.—lt was withdrawn accordingly.

WATS AID 111/ANS.

Mr. HERRLES moved the receiving of the Report of the Cows-
mktee of Ways and Means.—Upon the first Resolution being put,
Mr. HUME asked when the Finance Committee
would be appointed? It was the practice to have the
Estimates prepared about the 15th of February. and if
Parliament assembled at the usual late period. tbe Com-
mittee would not have time to enquire and recommend
such reductions as were necessary. Retrenchments bad
been recommended by former Committees, and the
effect of the one now promised would only be to delay
still further what had been long ago necessary. He wish-
ed to ask whether the Parliament would be assembled at,
the usual time? and if so, whether no reductions were to
be made until the Finance Committee had reported? He
recollected to Rt. Hon. G.ntleman to have said upon a
former occasion, when be proposed to refer the Esti-
mates to a Committee of the House, that when the
Etecutive Government found it necessary to call in
the House of Commons to prepare the Estimates fat
'be service of the Country, they were not entitled to
much confidence from the country. He began to see
that there was much truth in what the Right Hon.
Gentleman said, and that this calling of the }louse to
Council wad a departure from the usual practice, and
rather an injury than a benefit to the country.
Mr. CANNING said he was sure the House would
see that it was impossible for him to answer the whole
of the Hon. Gentleman's question, a part of which was
of an unprecedented and unheard of character. As to
When the Ministers of the Crown should advise his
Majesty to assemble Parliarnent in the ensuing year,
that was a question which, he would undertake to
say, no Minister had ever been called on to answer
before. But if he objected to that part of the question,
Were was another sense in which be thought the Hon.
Gentleman would be satisfied with the answer he
should give. The Hon. Gentleman seemed to think
that because a Committee was to be appointed, nothing
would be done in the way of reduction by the Govern-
ment before that Committee should have reported to
Ise. He begged to say that that was not the
'rom the moment when the present Govern-
;ame formed, their attention had been directed
taining and carrying into effect whatever re-
' might be found practicable—(Hear, hear).
' that upoa the balance, although he had re-
answer the first part of it, the Hon. Gentle-
Id be satisfied with the result of his question.
ME expressed his satisfaction at the litigbe Heneseele
'1 answer.
