PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS APRIL 14.

A considerable number of Members had assembled
in the House by four o'clock; when Mr. Ducat, the
Clerk, rose and requested Order. He said he had rei
ceived a communication from the SmAXilh, which,
with the permission of the House, bewould read. _lt
was addressed to Mr. Dyson, from Kidbrook, dated
April -IS, and was in substance as follows! .

such a subject, be b one feeling in the House—an
ablious wish to afford a proof of their respectful at-
tention totbe health of their Speaker. They would
not forget that his able and melons exertions in the
diacharge of the duties of his important situations, had '
occasioned that lose of health for which he now
claimed their temporary indulgence; and remember-
ing these, he was coofident they would concur in the
propriety of giving him a further respite from busi-
nem, in the • her that this would contribute to' his
perfect restoration. These who, like him (the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer) had witnessed the whole
course of the Right Hon. Gentleman's brilliant career,
would unquestionably be among those who felt most
regret that such a mark of their high consideration
4Lould now be necessary. • • AU anew bow unwilling
