The Earl De Grey arrived in Kingston Harbour this morn-
ing at six o'clock, in the Medina„ Capt. Sitithen, R.N.,
t.me of the fine steamers employed by government for the
conveyance of the mails between Dublin and Liverpool.
The. Medina left Liverpool yesterday evening at a quarter
before eight, and made the passage, which was rather a
rough one, in little more than ten hours. So soon as it was
ascertained that his excellency was on board, the fleet of
revenue cruisers at present in the harbour, consisting of two
brigs and twelve cutters, hoisted their flags and fired a salute.
The Medina dropped her anchors about the centre of the
harbour, and his lordship remained on board until eleven
o'clock, the hour fixed for his departure from Kingston to
Dublin. His lordship was accompanied by his private secre-
tary, and two members of the household, namely, Captain
Parker and Mr. Williams. Soon after ten o'clock, the Me-
dina was warped alongside the new jetty, which, notwith-
standing the morning was very tempestuous, and the rain
falling in torrents, was crowded with hundreds of ladies and
gentlemen, who braved the storm for the purpose of tender-
ing to his excellency their respectful congratulations on his
arrival amongst them to assume the reins of government.
Amongst those who were foremost to pay their respects on
the occasion, we noticed the Earl of Rathdown, Lord Vis-
count Gort, Col. Madden, the rigl t, hon. Frederick Shaw,
the right hon. F. Blackburne, Lei— Mr. Cole, Captain
Montgomery, Captain Fitzroy Somerset, Captain Willis,
(gentleman usher) the hon. Butler Danvers, Edward Lucas,
Esq., (under secretary) &c, &c. Two guards of honour were
stationed on the jetty, consisting of fifty men from the depCit
of the tiOth rifles, with the garrison colour and brass band,
and a troop of the 10th hussars, who formed the escort into
town. All the steamers and revenue cruisers in the harbour
were gaily dressed with their signal flags, and presented a
beautiful appearance. At eleven o'clock the yards of all the
vessels were manned, and a salute of twenty-one guns each
fired, under which his excellency went on shore, attended
by a large number of gentlemen, and amid the most enthu-
siastic cheering from the assembled spectators. The appear-
ance of the harbour during the firing of the salute was ex-
ceedingly animated, having quite the effect of a naval review
or sham sea-fight on a considerable scale. His lordship ap-
peared to be in excellent health and spirits, and acknow-
ledged in the most courteous manner the marks of respect
with which he was received. He immediately proceeded to
town at a very rapid pace, escorted by a guard of honour
of the 10th hussars, and accompanied by hundreds of the
equipages of the noblemen and gentlemen, who even upon
so short a notice, hurried to pay their respects to the illustri-
ous stranger. _ . _ .

Amongst those who formed part of the cortege were his
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, his Grace the
Duke of Leinster, the Marquis of Westmeath, the Earl of
Rathdown, the Earl of Clonmel, Viscount Powerscourt,
Viscount Gort, Viscount Lorton, Lord Kilmaine, Right
Hon. F. Shaw, Right Hon. Dr. Radcliffe, Right Hon. F.
Blackburne, Hon. and Rev. Mr. Browne, Hon. and Rev.
Mr. Howard, the Hon. the Dean of Clogher, Sir Robert
Shaw, Bart., Sir Harcourt Lees, Bart., Sir E. Brough,
Bart., Sir M. C. Smith, Bart., Major-General Sir Parker
Carroll, Colonel Webber Smith, Colonel Crichton, Lieut.-
Colonel King, Lieutenant-Colonel Kearney, James Hans
Hamilton, Esq., M.P., J. B. \Vest, Esq., M.P., Robert
Bourke, Esq., Denis H. Kelly, Esq., Mr. Moore, of Barn,
Cornelius Sullivan, Esq., Richard Rothwell, Esq., James
Waller, Esq., John Macartuey, Esq., &c. &c. &c.
After the ceremony of swearing in, his Excellency held an
undress levee. His Excellency having transacted business
with several of the functionaries, proceeded to the Viceregal
Lodge, in Phcenix Park.

It-is understood that the Lord Lieutenant's stay amongst
U 3 will not at present exceed a few days. He cannot, how-
ever, take his departure before he receives the royal letter
granting him leave of absence. That leave will be applied
for by this night's post, and on Monday it is most probable
the Lord Lieutenant will return to England. His Excellency
and his amiable Countess may be expected here in about a
fortnight or three weeks.

THE LOSS OF THE WILLIAM BROW

ARREST OF ONE OF THE MURDERERS

Sally Corr and Bridgett M'Gee, two of the passengers of
the ship William Brown, wrecked on her passage from 'Liver-
pool to this city—with the horrid particulars of which the
reader is already well informed—appeared before Alderman
Hugh Clark, of Kensington, and made oath that Alexander
William Holmes, one of the crew of that vessel, and one of
the most active participants in the destruction of the unfor-
tunate passengers, was now in the city, and they wished his
arrest, and that he be proceeded against forthwith. Ac-
cordingly, Alderman Clark issued his warrant, and it was
placed in the hands of Messrs. Fisher and Sliner, police-
officers of Kensington, who traced the accused to the Girard
Boarding-house, corner of Front and Union-streets, and on
Saturday morning there arrested him. _ _

Holmee made-no resistance, but the officers experienced
much opposition from the other sailors at the boarding-
house' some of whom declared that a man could not be ar-
rested in the city by virtue of a county warrant. To satisfy
their scruples, the officers proceeded to Alderman Milnor's
office with their prisoner, and he succeeded in satisfying the
sailors that the officers were acting correctly. The officers
proceeded immediately thence to the United States District
Caurt-room, where a hearing was had before his Honour
Jude Hopkinson, and the following depositions taken :
" Sarrh Corr, of Ireland, aged about 19 years, being duly
sworn, deposes, that she took passage on board the William
Brown, at Liverpool. After we had been out about five
weeks and four days, the passengers were about retiring to
bed. I was sitting up. We heard the vessel strike against
the ice. After a little while there came a man to the hatch,
and called out that the vessel was sinking. The passengers
got upon deck as soon as they could. When I got upon deck
the sailors were clearing out the boats. I went below for
my cloak. When I returned the long-boat was in the water
alongside of the vessel. I jumped against a sailor belonging
to the William Brown, who went by the name of Charles
Smith. He said that I need not be jumping into the boat,
for I would have to go out again. 1 stayed in the boat. I
cannot say how many passengers were in the boat. There
were, I think, about seven sailors. I was lying down in
the bottom of the boat. The boat was crowded. I did not
hear any thing said before they commenced throwing persons
overboard. I saw the black man, Henry Murray, the cook,
catch hold of Frank Askin. I heard Frank Askin calling to
a Scotch woman to speak to them to spare his life; he said
he had five sovereigns, and he would give it to them if they
would spare his life until morning. He was thrown over-
board. The persons who threw him overboard were Henry
Murray and Alexander William Holmes. Frank Askin's
sister said, if they threw him overboard, to throw her also.
They threw over sixteen of the passengers, including the two
sisters of Askin. I heard my cousin, Charles Coulon, go
forward and say to Holmes, 'Holmes, dear, sure I'll not have
to go over.' Holmes said, Charley, you must go.' Then
a girl of 16 cried out to spare him, for he was the last of a
family of fifteen that had gone down in the vessel. I then
heard the plunge of him in the water. It was Holmes that
helped to throw him over.
" The sailors who helped in throwing over the passengers
were, as far as I recollect, and I do not know tIle: whole of
them, Alexander W. Holmes, Charles Smith, Hem Mur-
• ;
ray, the black, and Jack Stetson.

Owen Carr, born in the county of Tyrone, in Ireland,
aged about 12 years, being duly sworn, deposes that be was
a passenger c;,± board the ship William Brown, on her voyage
from Liverpool toiladelphia ; that we left Liverpool about
the 12th of March last. We had been at sea five weeks and
four days, when the ship strut}: qainst the ice in the evening
about nine o'clock. I was just lying .down to sleep, when
there came two shocks, which some of .the passengers said
were caused by ice. The shocks were very sziotezt. The
ship was sailing fast at the time of the shocks, but they stop.
ped her. One nf the passengers went upon deck and said
she was sinking. Then all the passengers went up, and I
among them. I went up with nothing on but my shirt, and
then went down again and got on any roundabout and trou-
sers, and shoes and cap, and came up on deck again, and was
getting upon the side to get into the boat, and Judy M'Cad-
den gave me a push and shoved me into the boat, which was
just going over the side. In getting into her, the passengers
came down as fast as they could, striving with each other
which would be first in, for fear she should be shoved off be-
fore they could get in.
" There was but one sailor in before the paseengers cause,
and that was the one putting in the plugs. There were six
sailors and the mate in the boat, and 16 or 17 passengers
thrown over, and about 13 left. The 16 or 17 were thrown
over in the night. Some of the sailors said before they be-
gan that the, boat was sinking, and would have to be light-
ened. Those who were engaged in throwing over the pas-
sengers were Holues, a sailor, and Henry Murray, the black
man and cook, Charles Szaith, a sailor, and Jack Stetson, a
sailor. The black and Holmes mere most active in throwing
them over. " OWEN CARR.

LNegING GAMBLERS. - FROM FIFTY TO
SEVENTY-FIVE PERSONS MURDERED.

Tlke section .of country above and below the mouth of
White River, on the Mississippi, 4,;..e been for years infested
with gangs of gamblers and counterfeiters, Islands 67, 68,
and 89 wee rAntorious resorts for them. The people of Coa-
home county, gississippi, and from the opposite side of the
river, determined to 64 themselves of such pests; and our
information is, that they ,7.4c,';e,eded in capturing from fifty to
seventy-five of them. On the :;cif august they placed them
on board a trading boat, took her to air unfrequented place,
so that there might be no witnesses, and sbot and drowned
them all. A portion of the names of the sufferers bue been
furnished to us. They are, Hugh Tully, the chief of the
gang, Elaphus Kingston, drew M`Loghlin, Joe Cotton,
Hugh Norris, Joseph Merriott, Wells Pollock, and James
.Macauley, . . . .

When the Baltic passed up, the citizens were on their way
down the river, engaged in burning the houses lately occu-
pied by the victims of their vengeance. No violence was
offered to the families who were in them, but they
were ordered to leave their homes for ever. tis further
stated that the ,cashier of the counterfeiting establishment
was found in the river at Columbia dead. All the imple-
ments of rascality were found about the premises of the
murdered men. A large amount Of counterfeit bank notes
was discovered, consisting of 50 and 109 dollar notes on the
Commercial Bank of New Orleans, not signed 4 and 1,2,
and 3 dollar notes of the Third Municipality, New Orleans.
The gamblers and counterfeiters, who have thus suffered so
terrible a death, were no doubt rascals of the blackest dye.
They may have committed ail the offences with which they
were charged—murder, the stealing of negroes, robbery—in
short, have violated every law ; but having them in their
power, these numberless crimes can offer no palliation for
the cold-blooded murder of so many men. In comparison
with this cruel and damnable act of the mob, the crimes of
the sufferers sink into insignificance. The laws and the good
order of society 'have received a more dangerous blow than
could possibly lave resulted from a long life of crime. Every
good citisen, every one who values the safety of the institu-
tions of the country, should ,denoanee all such acts of the
mob with unmitigated severity.

MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—It 1141 S seldom
been our duty to record a more melancholy occurrence than
the one it is now our painful duty to narrate; and it has cast
a gloom over the vicinity where it happcnefJ, and called
forth the deepest sympathy for the bereaved paretits and
relatives of the subject of it. On Tuesday last, two very
fine at 4 promising young men, one the eldest son of Mr.
George Beckett, of Northwich, draper, and the other a Mr.
Twist, from Or■askirb, who was on a visit to his friend and
fellow medical student, Mr. Beckett. Accompanied by a
Young sailor boy, named PiJp.ddock, they took a small rigged
Pleasure-boat, to enjoy an boar's sailing on a broad sheet of
deep water, called " the Brook," which branches from and
quence
is part of the river Weaver, near to Northwich. This amuse-
ment had continued for sonic time, when, either from
unskilfulness in the management of the sails, or in conse-
11thler.nl?'Tweistv,yior.nnbdlet from
BTebino,
sudden squall of wind, the boat suddenly unset, ,
and filling with water, went down ; leaving only the top of
boy were
thrown Mr.
into Becdkneetpt ,
without anwhaitserfr,itienndd
they of the youn.g ti
being aware of the catastrophe. Nei-
rise no more! Th, I),!men could swim, and they sank to
gairrd the shore. 'WY Xaddock being a good swimmer,

. ,
as keel to produce his qualification, retired from the stage
an tidst the laughter and hootings of the assembly. The
agi stator was very fitly represented by two of his order—
ions of St. Crispin"—whom he prevailed upon to desert
the it last, and enjoy their St. Monday in a manner perfectly
nov el, if not quite agreeable to themselves. Their " great-
ness ." appeared, indeed, to have been " thrust" upon them,
if we' might judge by the precipitancy with which they re-
tired from the public gaze after accomplishing the task which
they Iliad undertaken.
riongst the gentlemen on the hustings we observed the
Rig-it ..tt Hon. William Peel, brother to the premier, William
Peel, „Esq. (his son), Sir Charles Wolseley, Samuel Tylecote,
Esq.„ William Robinson, Esq., and other influential elec-
tors.

TI ie usual forms having been gone through,
Se annel Tylecote, Esq:, ruse and said—Gentlemen, I have
so 1 stely addressed you on a similar occasion, that I can
scan :ely add anything different to that which I then said. It
gives; us all great pleasure, and not less to us than to our
late right hon. member, that he was then so well supported.
Wht ni I addressed you before, I was not aware that any gen-
tlem an wonid ever have come forward and have opposed such
a man as Sir Robert Peel. As such an one has, however,
presented himself, I shall treat him with dignified silence;
but 1 have no objection to hear him. I dare say he is a gen-
tleman, and I hope he will, in the course of his observations,
confine himself to gentlemanly language, and not descend to
any scurrility. (Hear.) I know all that actuates what I
must call' these walking heroes, who go about the country in
a kind of political incendiarism. They are men of this de-
scription, and, therefore, I will use my best endeavours to
pnt them down. (Cheers.) I cannot yet reply to a gentle-
man whom I have never heard speak. Some one said to
me, " Why don't you give him a dressing ?" But I say,
" Let him dress himself first, and then I will undress him."
(Loud laughter.) These men have generally two points
which are evident in their tactics—the one is self-interest,
and the other is a principle of envy..
" Pale envy withers as another's good,
And hates the excellence it cannot reach."
(Cheers.) I will only beg to add, that in a very few words
I shall sum up the opinion—not only of myself, but I am
sure that of every gentleman present, when I saw that there
are two principles which are the prevailing characteristics
,of our worthy and hon. member, Sir Robert Peel. The one
ice, that he is an ornament to the society in which he moves ;
and the other is, that he is an honour to his country.

(loud cheers.) I beg to nominate Sir Robert Pee!, and I
hope to see him—l have no doubt but that he will be—again
eltieted. (Cheers.)

. ,
W. Robinson, Esq., next came forward, and said it gave
bin) great pleasure to second the nomination which had just
been made. (Loud cheers.)

J. -Vaughan, a shoemaker, (dressed in character) described
by Mr. Acland as " his honourable friend," said, Mr. Mayor
and gentlemen, I have been a voter in this borough nearly
half a ceutury. (Hear.) I know what's right and I know
what's wrong, and therefore I wish to nominate a man who
will represent this borough in parliamenr. It is Charles Ac-
land, Esq. (No, no) John Acland, Esq. (No, no.) James
Acland, Esq. I beg to nominate James Acland, Esq. (Great
laughter.)
T. Forster, another knight of the awl, said he had no ob-
jection to secoarl the nomination of his worthy friend. Hav-
ing done so he abruptly retreated from his novel position in
public life to the back of the hustings, amidst the laughter of
the meeting.
The Hon. William Peel then came forward amidst loud
applause. He said, Gentlemen, it might perhaps be as well
that I should now state to you the course I mean to pursue,
standing here as I do the representative of Sir Robert Peel.
(Hear.) Gentlemen, when you shall have re-elected my
right hon. relative, I shall In his name, and at his request,
express to you his most sincere and most grateful acknow-
ledgments for your uniform kindness towards him ; and
more particularly for the very great kindness which he has
experienced at your hands since her Kajesty the Queen was
graciously pleased to summon him to her Majesty's councils,
and since by his acceptance of office his scat has become
vacant. Gentlemen, I trust that it is unnecessary in me to
say that I will act no part in the very absurd farce—(" hear,
hear," and cheers), which has been got up for the purpose of
offering vexatious annoyance to Sir Robert Peel, and to an
immense majority of the electors of this borough—(applause) ;
for I will not so grossly insult the constituent body of the
borough of Tarnworth as to imagine fora single moment that
any one of those electors who signed an address soliciting Sir
Robert Peel not to attend at this election, but pledging them-
selves to give every support to him in heir power—l say I
will not insult the constituency of this borough by supposing
that any one of those electors will be induced by the sayings
or by the doings of any party to act so dishonourable a part
as to withdraw that support, and thereby to forfeit his word
and to break his promise. (Immense cheering.) Gentlemen,
I am always most extremely anxious that my conduct should
meet with the approbation of this constituency, and my
brother electors—,(applause); and I trust that the course
which I mean to pursue on this occasion will, meet with your
approbation. The hon. gent,leman tier:eat down amid loud
cheering.
Mr. Acland here, amidst a storm of hisses and other tokens
of disapprobation, rose, and, after a long and tedious address,
in a style of flippant harlequinism, abounding in gross per-
sonal abuse and vituperation), in which he applied to the elec-
tors of Tamworth the epithet of " bears and wolves," the
reputable and worthy representative of the " League," wound
up by modestly constituting the electors a committee of in-
quiry, to consider the merits or demerits of the systeial of the
Prime Minister, who was a candidate for the honour of re:
presenting them. He left the result of the present opposi,
tion to their conscientious decision ; fully assured, that be it
whet it might, they would exercise their judgments impar-
tially.

The Retturning Officer then called for a show of hands,
which he declared to be " greatly in favour of Sir Robert
Peel"—only three persons, in fact, holding up their hands
for Mr. Acland.

Mr. Acland protested against the show of hands.
The Mayor then declared Sir Robert Peel was duly elected
to represent the borough .of Tamworth in parliament. (Loud
cheering.)
The Hon. William Pe4 again presented himself, and, ina
speech of great ability, returnet,l thanks for the re-election of
Sir Robert Peel.

Three times three cheers were afterwards can.ed for, and as
heartily given, for Sir Robert Peel and the Aigl4 Hon.
William Peel. Thanks were then presented to the mayor,
and the meeting quietly dispersed a few moments afterwards,
with the exception of about 30 of Mr. Acland's friends, who,
not content with the two hours-and-a-half harangue from
that worthy, repaired to the Rose and Crown, to hear and
wituesc a further exhibition of the impudence and absurdi-
ties' of this Kant of the anti-corn-law league.

by J. Milnes.Gaskell, Esq., having aecspt,2d tie office of one
of the Lords of the Treasury. Mr. Gaskeli was 4- g;
the representative without opposition.
CAMBRIDGE.—The re-election of the Right Hon. H.
Goulburn, Chancellor of the Exchequer, took place on Wed-
nesday morning in the Senate House without any opposi-
tion. The election of a member for the University is a formal
and not very interesting affair. There is no speaking either
by ,the
,candidate or his friends. The Vice-Chancellor stands
at the tabe with the proctors to receive the vote, which are
given by Card's; and when the affair is terminated, he shakes
hands with .the diernter and signs his return. Mr. Goulhurn

BRIDPORT.—The election for this borough has been occa-
sioned by the unexplained retiremenC pf Mr. Wartkurton, the
late whig member. Immediately after tine to 4. Ow Mr.
Cochrane, a staunch conservative, took the field, and tke
radicals offering no opposition, he was returned, on Wednes-
day, as representative for Bridport in the most triumphant
manner. The hon. gentleman said it would be a proud thing
for him to take his seat on the same benches as the represen-
tatives for Carlow and Dublin, and to increase the conserva-
tive majority, in tl;,c house from 91 to 93. _

.
SuNnEaLAND.—The nomination for this borough took
place on Wednesday, and the piling yesterday (Thursday.)
We hope to announce the final state,9f the votes in an early
second edition. More than usual 'interest is attached to this
election, in consequence of Lord 'Howick being the zadical
candidate. Shg,nld Mr. Wolverley Atttsvbcid succeed, it wild
indeed be a great triumph of ,ConServativd principle's', not
only over Whiggery, but fin 4y itginence, wealth, 'and it is
reported, bribery, coercion, and other nnfair 'Means.' The
authority of the Countess of Durham (tbc noble lord's
sister), or her agents, has been exercised in the borough in a
most disgraceful manner in favour of his Lordship ; but, not
content with this, one of the late Ministry (the Right Hon.
Sir George Grey), in company with another baronet (Sir
Hedworth 'Williamson), has been employing himself in
making speeches to the electors against the pretensions of
Mr. Attwood, and in favour of those of the consistent Lord
Howi4, It would appear, from " the stick-at-nothing man-
ner" in 'which the Whigs are going to work, that the defeated
of NOrthumhedand is determined, if possible, to be returned
for Sunderland at hazards. The Oqnservative electors,
and, in fact, the non-electors of the bwough, say that they
will not have him, and the result of the canvass up to Wed-
nesday shows a considerable majority in faVonr.of ‘Att-
wood, which it is r,e4 to impossible to disturb, excepting by
those seductive arts to which ;tlany electors of boroughs haye
fallen victims since the passing of the 4ef9rin Bill.

DEATH FROM EATING DISORDERED VEAL.---About ntr a
weeks since, a farmer named Schofield, residing in the further
side of Spotland, had a calf dropped which he wished to rear,
but, as it became disordered, he employed a cow-leech, who
doctored it about four weeks, at the end of which time it was
handed over to a butcher named Kershaw, who killed it, and
sold the meat in cheap lots, at 24d. and 3d. per lb, to people
cheifly in 04 neighbourhood of Whitworth, all of whom
were taken wore or less ill immediately after eating of it.

Sir R. PEEL, in rising to move for certain papers con-
nected with the execution of the works now in Progress for
the building of the two houses of parliament, said it would
be for the general convenience of the house, if he took the
present opportunity of stating the general course which he
intended to pursue with respect to the public business of the
house. Notice had been given for to-morrow night, for
taking into consideration those estimates for which cOinplete
provision had not been made during the late session of par-
liament. That vote would refer to the miscellaneous services
of the year. One half ofthe sum required for those services
was provided for during the last session. He proposed to
adopt the estimates, without exception, as they were formed
by her Majesty's late ministers, and to submit them to the
consideration of the house exactly in the furm in which they
were submitted during the late session. On former occasions
the course pursued had been to take the remaining sum in
one vote; and he thought it would be more satisfactory to
the house to submit these estimates in detail. He proposed,
therefore, to submit the estimates of each service in detail,
and to take a separate vote in respect of each. There was
one form of expenditure to which he wished to direct the
attention of the house, and that was the additional expence
connected with the construction of the two houses of parlia-
ment. The works were now advanced to such a period that

it was necessary for the house to determine as to the mode
of warming and ventilating, and to make provision for the
construction of the necessary works. On a former occasion
a committee was appointed by each house to take the
matter into their joint consideration, and he thought a
similar course ought to be pursued on the present occasion.
The sum required would amount to 80,0001. or 90,0001., and
such a large expenditure ought not to be incurred without the
sanction of parliament. It was his intention to propose a
I bill for continuing in operation . those laws which would

expire without the intervention of parliament. The periods
for the expiration of some of these laws were definitely fixed,
and others would expire at the terrhination of the session
of parliament. He should submit to the house the propri-
ety of passing a bill in order to continue these laws for a
limited period. The most important of these measures
was the existing Poor Law, which would expire on the 31st
of December, unless renewed before that time. He pro-
posed to continue that bill in its present state until the
31st of July next, thus enabling the government to
consider the nature of the provisions which it might be
necessary to bring forward. He proposed to make no alter-
ation whatever in the Poor-law Bill. With respect to the
election committee, it appeared to him that it would
be for the general interest and convenience to adopt no pro,
ceedings at present for the purpose of determining the elec,
tion petitions, It rested entirely with the general committee
to determine the days on which the election petition should
be fixed for trial ; and he trusted that they would be of opinion
that it would not be expedient to enter upon the adjudication
of contested election petitions et present. With respect to
the financial arrangements of the year, his right hon. friend
the Chancellor q,f the Exchequer would, on the earliest ,day
on which the committee of ways and means could be ap-
pointed, state to the house the extent of the deficiency to be
provided for—the deficiency between the expenditure and

revenue. He apprehended it would be found not to fail

short of the estimate given by the late Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and probably the sum of £2,500,000 would have
to be provided for the service of the current year. Into the
details of the causes pf tjlat deficiency his right hon. friend
would not enter ; hut he would epte the measures which he
proposed to iutrodute for/he purpose of pakipg temporary
provision to meet that deficiency. With cespe,ct to tlbe mean
sures for equalising the revenue and ep,enditpre of th,
country, it was not his intention during the meeting of par.
liament to submit any measure to the consideration of the

house. He had already expressed his opinion that it was

absolutely necessary to provide sonic effectual means for
equalising the revenue and expenditure ; and her Majesty's
government would avail themselves of the earliest oppor-
tnnity of submitting to parliament measures for the pur-
pose rof remedying the existing evil. Whether that could
de done by diminishing the expenditure of the country, or
Whether t must be (One by increasing the revenue, or by a
combination of both, he should postpone fof future consider-
ation. The right hon. hart. proceeded to state that it was
impossible for the affairs of the country to be carried on in
the manner Etiph had hitherto prevailed, namely, that of
incurring a heavy expenditpre in "time of peace." (Hear,)
To that important question, and geney,4l7 to otherg, her
Majesty's government would give their best and earliess
attention, and he relied entirely upon the confidence of the
house. It was true, and he readily admitted it, that he
and his colleagues had been for sometime past in the
possession of the government ; that period however had
o short, that he really was not placed in a much better
osi,tion Titir respect to ascertaining the true state of affairs
:than be 7g. preyioo - hio opining into office. (Hear,
bear.) He begged to assure .the house that it was not
PR account of the latelres of the s'oSmr; nor of other
avocations (hear, hear, Jiear) that measures' ott 4ATfence
would be deferred; he was of opinion that private conveni-
enee ought to be disregarded, and that no obstacle ought to
be thrown inithe way of the service. sl)9Nld take an
early opportunity of stating his views more fully PI) t4P im-
portant questions necessary to be brought forward, for upon
the whole he thought that on the constitution of a new go-
vernment time ought to be afforded for properly maturing
their plans. (Hear, hear.) He begged leave to move for
certain papers relative to the execution of the works in
progress., for new houses of parliament.
The SpEA*Ekt I?aviu put the question,
Lord I. RUSSELL rose and sa.id, that certainly he was
not likely to dffier from what had he'e"4 f:Aceo by the right
hon. baronet with regard to Dr. Reid's seinsinisiraiiins 're-
specting the warming and ventilating of the new houses of
parliament. (Hear, and laughter.) In Dr. Reid he had
perfect confidence, and, with respect to the vote for the ex-
pense of the apparatus, he imagined that the Chancellor of
the Exchequer would take care that it was not too much.
(Lord ;john Russell) would give his support to the vote
,on the estimates, and he should deem it his duty to-morrow
to sfate.his
