THE BUDGET.

The Marquis of CHANDOs asked when the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would be ready with his financial statement?
Lord J. ltusss►.►. believed his right hon. friend would be
ready to bring forward his statement on Monday, hut, in the
absence' of his tight hon. friend, he would not pledge himself
that it would be made on that clay. The noble lord then ex-
pressed a 11.,pe that those hon. members whose motions stood
before that of his right hon. and learned friend the Attorney-
General for Ireland, would give way; and allow him to bring
on the motion respecting Irish munic►pal corporations.

ItVGISTRA CION IN IRELASID:

Mr. E. TENnENT asked whether government was prepared
with any measure for the improvement of the parliamentary
registration in Ireland ? _

Lord Mottearti said that a measure was in preparation on
the subject. . natio-Loom wnavalts.
Mr. .1. MAXWELL then rose to briny; forward the motion of
which he had given notice on this subject. Ile had nir wish to
throw any impediment in the way of any measure nt govern-
ment, but he did not think that he should discharge his duty if
he did not bring forward a motion which involved not merely
the comforts, hut he might almost add the existence of nearly
one million of individuals. The case of the hand-login weavers
was one of nearly complete destitution. lie might cite
thousands of instances where individuals had been reduced from
a state of comparative eoinfi)rt to almost starvation. He would
mention as an illustration of a w hole class of cases that of an
intelligent weaver who•was summoned as a witness ,before a
comintttee which sat no the subject in Mr. Pitt's time. That
man could then earn 275. a-week. At present, though hut-dened
with increased taxes.ang °bilged to work itra ,hours a-day,more,
116 could not earn more than Os. 6d. a-weet. Had not the pour'
hand-loom weaver good reason to .complaia of this change ?
.Other classes were protected; the brewer and distillers were
protected from foreign competition, but the hand-loom weaver
was not protected against it. The hon. member then proceeded
to contrast the general condition of the band-lompweave.rs at
that time with what it was in the present day. lie added, that
they did not ask that the interests of other classes should be
sacrificed on their account. All they asked was, that they
might be-put into a condition which would enable them to sup-
port existence by obtaining the same degree of protection which
was extended to other classes. The hon. member coucaoled a
speech of considerable length by moving for leave to bring in a
bill for the better protection of the artizans of Great Britain
and Ireland employed in weaving by hand-loom.
Sir MICHAEL SHAW STEWART seconded the motion, 'which'
op a division was negatived, the numbers being

CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLIC OFFICES.
Mr. S. Rice then moved for leave to bring in a bill to con-
solidate the offices of Paymaster of the army, Paymaster of the
Navy, Paymaster of Chelsea hospital, and Treasure, of the
Ordnance. The house was awiare, that on the formation of
the present government he had given notice of his intention to
bring in a bill for this purpose. His right hon. friend (Sir H..
Parne,ll) now held the three offices of Paymaster-General, Pay-
master of the Navy, end Treasurer of the Ordnance,' under
three separate appontmente, and the object of the bill was to
make one appointment suffice for the three offices. Thee had
found from experience that the duties of these otlices could be
advantageously performed by one person, and when this conso-
lidation was effected it would enable the government to make
further reductions in the subordinate departments. In point of
fact, there were not three, but four offices, which would be con-
solidated, because the office at Chelsea was connected with the
Pay-office. The right hon. gentleman then read some papers
which he held in his hand a comparative statement of the ex-
pense of salaries paid to the heads of these deprtments iu times
past, of the present charge under this head, and of the saving
which would he made under the proposed arrangement. He
would only further observe, that, in carrying this arrange-
ment into effect the government would pay due regard to the
claims of those officers who had been employed in these depart-
ments, but whose future services might not be required.
Mr. HOME was extremely happy that the right hon. gentle-
man had at last brought in this bill. He hoped he would situ-
plify the mude in which this branch of the public business was
conducted.

Mr. B. 1-lor was afraid, that whatever was tavern expense
by this consolidation would be lost in efficiency.
*Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
Mr. Hosts moved fur severalicturns.—Agreed to.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. •
Mr. Got-Lnuarr wished to know train the noble lord opposite,

PROCLAMATION OP DON csitros.
Captain Botnatto bogged to ask whether his Majesty's go-
vernment had received any information of the shooting three
British seamen by order of Don Carlos, in virtue of his decree
of the 28th June .? He wished to know whether these men were
armed or unarmed.
Lord PALMERSTON said the only information government
had received was a letter from the officer coinmauding the
Ringdore. The letter stated that three English seamen be-
!oiling to the steamer Aegna d' Krpagnola, who were stranded
near Bilbua were taken prisoners, and one of them who made
the (Treat...mt. resistance was instantly shot. (Hear.) The letter
stated that this had been done in consequence of the proclaim.-
lion of Don Carlos, that the life of no foreigner taken in anus
would be spared. This was all the information government had
reeeive4. The men were not mariners in his Majesty's men ice,
but in that of the Queen of Spain. The stemn-vessel had ailed
in tiefence orßilboa—the three men bad strelltd outof thetown
and had beeettaken by surprise.
