THE LONDON NEWSPAPERS.

Mr. GotrinunN presented a petition from the proprietor's of
the Honing Herald, Times, llorninu Post, and Stenelard news-
papers, similar to the one presentedto the .t--louse of Lords from
the Same parties by Lord Lyndhurst a few days since.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER warmly resented the
charge brought against him, that in areidenially taking the size
of the Morning Chronie:e as the standard ot. a single sheet news-
paper, he had sought to advance the interest of that or to injure
other establishments. He denied that such a thought had ever
entered his mind ; if it had he should consider himself not only
unfit for office, hut unworthy of the society of gentlemen. It
was his intention to make his " financial statements" on Fri-
day, (i his day) when he would go into full details of his views
respecting this and other duties.

ried by 132 in-favour to 90 against it. During the exclusion of

nant-colonelcy,of the 11th Light Dragoons.

In the course of the debate which ensued, Mr. Ellice re-
commended that the motion should be withdrawn. In this re-
commendatiOn Mr. O'Connell joined, observing, that in his
opinion Lord tradenell had been harshly treated. Sir Wm.

the opponents to it would not consent and a division was insist-
ed upon. The numbers were for the motion 42—against it 322.

ties of Middlesex, Surrey, Essex, and Kent, and the cities and
boroughs within the same respectively, be added to the com-
mittee on the South Durham railway bill.
Mr. A. TREVOR opposed the motion, which he considered the
most extraordinary ever proposed in parliament, and its only
object could be to swamp the bill. After a protracted discussion

mittee on the re-committed Midland Counties railway bill to
confine themselves to an inquiry intb the merits of the Nor-

effects of such 'Measure. The hon. member strongly sup-
ported the petition.
Mr. SHAW complained of the delay which had taken place in
bringing the Irish tithe bill forward, and inquired when it was
to he proceeded with.
Lord MORPETH said be had no more to do with the delay of

it was likely to be brought forward, and inform the honourable
member.
