HOUSE OF COMMONS
;he motion of Mr. PARKER

-WEDNESDAY

that the committee on

the Argyll Canal Bill have leave to sit and report to-mor-
row, a disclosure took place, to the effect, that the bill
had been introduced as a private bill, and yet it involves
the expenditure of £140,000 of public money. Mr.
CHRISTOPHER announced this fact to the house; abserving
that a grant of public money ought not to be obtained
under the pretext of carrying a private bill. The CHAN-

CELLOR of the ExcnEctixEli, upon this objection being
taken, proposed to discharge the motion of Mr. Parker
and to refer the bill to a select committee.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE objected to that course, denounced
the bill as a Scotch job, and said that it ought to be de-
ferred, at any rate, till next session.
Sir J.GRAHAM, Lord G. BENTINCK, Mr. BAINES, Mr.
HUME, and Mr. WILLIAMS, all denounced the suspicious
appearance of the measure, which they treated as one for
the benefit, not of the population, but of the lairds of the
Highlands.__ _ _ _

Mr. S. WORTLEY and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER defended the bill, alleging that there were the
strongest grounds, both public and private, for such a
measure. The conversation lasted for some time, but
terminated in the discharge of the order for committing
the bill.
On the ord(

f the day for the house going into corn-
inittee on the Registration of Voters Bill, Mr. V. SMITH,

the"lateness of the session, moved that it be

long, but somewhat lively, discussion took
place, which included the Parliamentary Electors (No. 2)
and the Parliamentary Electors (No. 1) Bills, which end-
ed in the postponement of the two former, and the rejec-
tion of the latter by a majority of five votes.
On the motion of Mr. BODKIN, the Poor Removal Act
Amendment (No. 2) Bill was read a second time after a
-desultory conversation, in which Mr. CHRISTOPHER, Sir
W. JOLIPFE, Mr. FLOYER, Mr. BANKES, and Mr. P.
'BORTHWICK expressed themselves hostile, and Mr
SPOONER, Sir G. GREY, Sir J. PAKINGTON. and Mr
WAKLEY, favourable to the, measure.
