)lr. TIERNEY wished the Nu'ale Lord would give
the Homes general idea of the nantre of that course at
We present inilint'irl.
Load CASTLIBItE.IfiII declined doing so, from an
apperhensinum tint: he might mislead rather than ea-
lighten •he Howie. as he teas desirous that the subject
Atlanta lOW bm dioemoted at piesent.
ur. TJERN F:Y observed, that the Noble Lord might
just say whether Ministers intended. to do this or that.
He (Mi. T.) pledged himself that he windii,net rake a
single oheervation oishli subject.
Lord CASTLERE H replied, that it was intended
to p.ropme the adoption only of such summates as would
he indispensible, in order to prevent any prejudice to
the public service during the interval! between the die-
',dation of the present aad the aseerolling of the next
Parliament.
Mr. TIERNEY remarked, that the House were as far
from any specific information as ever. There were many
measures which might be considered indispessible.
There was the regulation of the Chi! Ciit. There was
the Mutiny Pill. It was impossible to guess what the
Noble Lord meant by in.lispensible measures.
Lord CASTIEREAOH said, that hr was sure the
Ilusse understood what he meant by indispenaible mei-
sure_s.
Dir. TIERNEY expressed his conviction that nobody
ionderstood what the Web!, Lord meant, but the Noble
Lunt hinsself.,-.(A laugh.)
The Motion was thee agreed to.

Yesterday being appointed for a General Meting of
tl:e Friends of Thomas Wilson, Eaq. one of the present
Representatives of the City of Loudon, a numerous
Meeting took place of persons in the mercantile interest,

peron amongst the eintlit!ates had higher +inn to their
support than Mr. Wilsen. It was the lot of very few
amen, indeed, to be competent to the charges reposed in
ti.e represectation of the mercantile interests .(the City
of London; but it was impossible any man could ever
be competing to disettarge the duties be owe,' to his fa-
Indy and those of tmosiness, combined with those of an
Alderman of the City of London and a Representative
of that City in Parliament. He was so thorouhly eon-
v'iteell of the impossibility of any person's fairly and
fully performitmg these Julies. that. hr should hesitate to
