Their Lordships met at five o'clock.
The Royal assent was given by commission to 13 Public
and Private Bills.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the City of
London, praying the House to pass next Session the Bills
of Exchange Bill. His lordship replied to some observa-
tions against the measure made by Mr. Muntz in the

velling expenses to voters be illegal. ,
Lord REDESDALE opposed the amendment.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE was favourable to the amend-
ment, but did not think it would be expedient to adopt it
at present. Whether the amendment was negatived or
not, he should move that the clause be omitted.
After a discussion, in which Lord CAMPBELL, the Earl
of STAN HOPE, Lord WYNFOBD, and Lord BROUGHAM
engaged, the amendment was negatived.
The house divided on the question that the clause stand
out of the Bill. For the clause, 4 ; against it, 30. Ma-

HOUSE OF COMMONS-MONDAY, AUG. 7

The House assembled at two o'clock

After the transaction of private business, Mt. WALPOLE
presented a petition on the subject of education in Ireland,
and gave notice that early next session he should call
attention to the subject and move thereupon.
The Consolidated Fund Bill passed through committee.
On the motion for going into committee on the Encum-
bered Estates West Indies Bill,

Sir J. PACIUNGTON complained strongly of the conduct
of government with respect to the advances made to the
West India islands. What he claimed for them as a right
was that the amount of the advances made to the planters
should be reduced in proportion to the diminished value of
theirproperty, caused, as he argued, by the legislature of
this country.

Mr. WILSON explained the course taken by the Chan-
cellor of, the Exchequer, who would not be justified in
remitting a portion of the claim, because the value of the
property may have fallen. He had reason to believe that
the offers of government were deemed generally acceptable
to the bona fide holders of estates.

Mr. ELLis supported the views of Sir J. PAEINGTON.
Sir G, GREY said that the decision of the question be-
tween the West India proprietors and the government now
rested with the Exchequer Loan Commissioners.
After some observations from Mr. T. HANKEY and Mr
Scimr, the House went into committee. After several
