land Navigation of Ireland.
The House will, on Monday, resolve itself into d Committee
on the Southern Whide Fishery.
Mr. O'llA R 1 moved, " That Instructions be given to the
Committee on the Income and Expenditure of Ireland, to as-
certain the Amount of the Funded Debt of Great Britain and
Ireland."-rAgreed to.
Lord A. HAMILTON presented a Petition from the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers of Glasgovr, against the Orders in
Council. _ _

Mr. W. DUNDAS said, that the Counter Petition was signed
by at least five sixths of the intelligent Merchants and Manufac-
turers of Glasgow.
Lord A. HAMILTON said, that the Petition he now pre-
sented was 4igned by 20,000 persons. complaining of the great
distresses they felt, and attributing them to the Orders in
Council.

Mr. WHITBREAD wondered that the Right Honoerable
Gentleman (Mr. Olinda.) should cepress any doubt as to the
propriety of presentiug this Petition. It was signed by 2,1,000
persons, who, in his opinion, deserved to have their complaints
attended to. Ile was therefore desirous that all Petitions of this
kind should be referred to the Committee on the Orders in
Council.

Mr. BARING wished that tle Nonotrable Gentleman (Mr.
Dumdum) would nay attend to what wag passing in the Coto-
mime, and then, perhaps, he would find reason for changing
Ids opinion.
Te Petition was then read, and ordered, Stith other Petitions
of the sante kind, to be referred to the Committee ou the Orders
in Council.

table an Account of all Sums of Money paid for Army Clo-
thing, for the last 1Y years; as also of the Money issued-during
the same period fur gun and pistol-barrels, distinguishing each
year.—Agrced to.
♦DDRLSS FOR AN EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION.

Mr. WOItTLEY rote in pursuance of the notice
b. 2 had given yesterday. The object and the inten-
tion of the motion which he was now about to sub-
, mit to the House, was to contribute, as far as his
humble efforts could, to prevent the formation of a
iGovernment, which no person could look upon as
, sufficient, and which appeared to him, instead of be-
; ing capable of leading the nation out of its present
idifficulties, much more likely to create new and hea.
1 vier ones. lie was anxious to make his motion thus
early, because the places not being yet filled up, there
was still time enough for the House to intell',,re.—
Ile looked upon it as the best and the most manly
way of proceeding to make this early opposition to
the intended Ministry. It was, in his mind, a bet-
ter way of proceeding than to wait until they were
formed, and then commence his opposition. He
hoped that the speedy manifestation of the feelings
of the country, through the agency of that House,
I would prevent an event which could not but prove
highly detrimental to the public service. He did not
mean, by this motion, to pledge himself to the suppogt
of any men whn may be called to power, and still less
was he disposed to interfere with the 'privileges of the
Crown. His motion would merely call upon the
House to say, that a strong and efficient Adminis-
ltration was necessary, under the present clmntit•
etances of the country. lie would now state tbe
• grounds by which he thought the vote of every may,
upon the present question, should be decided. There
were three questions to be asked.-"-whether, its *bp
present situation of things, it was not necessary that
I there should bean. Administration possessing the con-
-1 fidenre of the country.. Secondly, whether the Mi,
: nistry" now in power, and those whom they were
likely to call to their 'Mislaid., possessed such con-
! fiditice. And Thirdly, whether all was done. that ,
:.might have,been dqne to. form such a Ministry ?:-.
Upon the first question it as quite usele* to waste
anytime. Every man must be now convinced that
there was no period in BJ4/fish history more. frtiught
with danger thau,the present, and that tyre never
watia time in which it was more necessary that the
Government of the country should be such as to at.
tract the coufideuctund respect of the preppie. With
respect to the second question, it was not less true,
that every person who paid the .smallest attention to
public opinion, must be convinced that the present
men did not possess the confidence of, the country.—
How could it ?• Hating lived fe‘ a long time upon
habits of intimacy sad friendship with some of them,
it would ill become him to say anv_f thing that could
be injurious to their lir

still he must say,
