ITHE CENOTAPH COMMITTEE, after ma-
turely considering the various communications they have
aeceiyed, and in com:ormity with what they have reason to be-
lieve is the wish of the Public, beg leave to state, that it is their
intuition, should their Funds be adequate, to construct the pro-
posed 'FE of the CENOTAPH on a scale sufficiently
etensive to admit of its being appropriated to the purposes of
DIVINE. WORSHIP, and constituted a FREE CHURCH.
(For the Committee),

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. CALCRAFT brought up the Report of the Committee
on the Salt Laws, which was agreed to, and BiUs ordered pur-
suant to the Resolutions.

• The Labourers' Wages, Watch and Ward, Foreigners Smug-
glers', Duke of 'Kent's Annuity, Scotch Distillery, and Slave
Trade Amendment Bills, were read a third time, and passed;
the Madder Duty, Silk Bounty, Excise Licenses, Irish Com-
mercial Exchequer Bills, National Debt Commissioners', and
Tobacco Importation Bills, were read a second time, and com-
mitted for Monday.
Mr. ROBINSON, in pursuance of notice, moved for leave
to bring in a Bill fur amending the 54th of the King, for regu-
lating the payment of Navy Price-money, and the transmission
and payment of Balances to Greenwich Hospital. The object
of the Bill was to increase the per Centage allowed upon Prize-
money recovered, to maintain the expense of supporting the
Prize Courts established by that Act, which per Centage had
hitherto been found insufficient for that purpose. Leave was
given to bring in the Bill : it was brought up, read a first time,
and ordered for the second reading on Monday.
On the motion of Mr. ARBUTHNOT, a Select Committee
was appointed to take into consideration the Report of the Board
of Ordnance on the Repairs necessary to be effected in the Lyme
Regis I larbour.7ordered to lie on the table.

The Irish Bank Restriction, and the Irish Fever Hospital
Bills were reported ; the litter was re-committed, and both or-
dered to be read a third time on Monday.
Mr. THORNTON brought in a 11111 to regulate the sale of
Bread beyond the limits of the Rills of Mortality, which was
read a first time ; to be read a secor.ti time on Monday.
Mr. JIROGIJEN brought up the Report of the Committee
of Supply, on which
Mr. CA I,CRAFT repeated his objections to the grant of
15,000 e. fur the purchase of ground at Hounslow, as an exer-
cisini ground for Cavalry. Ile could not but consider it es a
waste of money. Ile thought a piece of ground might be found
at Wormwood Scrubs, or on Wimbledon Common. He would
not divide the House, but his opinion remained unchanged.
Mr. Alt BU'IIINOT repeated his former arguments iu sup-
port of the grant.
Lord PALMERSTON said, it must be wen known to every
person who had ever rode over Wimbledon Conunon, that it
was by n means fitted for an exercising ground for Cavalry—it
was full of holes and bogs. The same objection would apply to
Wormwood Scrubs, where a great deal of money had been ex-
pended, and no benefit derived from it. If this spot at I Imams-
low was not purchased, he did not know of ar.y fit fur the pur-
pa,e near the Metropolis. 'The Resolution was thou agreed to,
as were the other Resolutions.

Mr. MA DDOX brought in a Bill for the more effectual pre-
serration of Game in certain districts of the Principality of
Wales.—Read a first time ; second readit.g on Monday.
On the third reading of the Irish Grand J ury Presentments Bill,
Sir F. FLOOD, with much warmth, declared, that as the im-
practicable Act of the last Session, with all its obnoxious clauses,
appointing Surveyors in every County and City in puur Ireland
(as he called it), with immense Salaries, was to be repealed by
this Bill; and as the present Bill contained many wholesome
provisions facilitating and assisting Grand Jurors in their inves-
tigations ; and as the final decision on all presentments was still
to be placed in the Grand Jury, and the peasantry would be re-
!levet' from extravagant Cusses, he would therefore give this
Bill his hearty concurrence.

A convers;dun of some length took place between Mr. V.
FITZGERALD, Mr. PARNELL, Mr. S. COOria, Lord JOCELYN,
Mr. D. Duows, Mr. BROODEN, Sir J. Nrwroa; and others.—
After which the Bill was read a third time, and passed.
' The other Orders of the Day baing then disposed of. the
lionse adjourned to Monday.
