next July. With respect TO finance, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer would take
the opportunity of the earliest Committee
of Ways ond Means TO state tho details
Of the measures Immediately necessary

any important measure at the present
session; he thought, considering the
time which had elapsed since the princ-

that he should not alter his decisions, as
stated TO the House. Lord Palmerston
regretted the course taken, and said it
would not be satisfactory to the country.

then ensued, which ended in Mr.. Fiel-
