THE POST-OFFICE. from Lord BROUGHAM, In answer to a question ARDE tated that the The Marquis of CLANRIC 5 appointed by the Treasur Committee which had been Commonsrelative to the fications for offmet t or three times, and when he hoped they would would meet again to morrow, to a report. be able finally to agree duepwonptobsetavloaterraonfgtehmeeHdotsosheado oWNE said it was highly • of LikNSl) The Marquis d Scarcely a day had elapse since the new arrangements without complaints of inconvenience, and in some cases owes had resulted. There the must calamitous cousenuoi Mr. Pike's murder in Ireland, and when, in consequence manQwas prevented from being present at the coroner's f desirable that this matter should be satisfactorily settled. was the case the other day the postal delay, the brother of the unfortunate inquest. The subject had been one of unremitting inquiry by the Committee, who he trusted would be able to propose a better arrangemeat than the present. NS drew the attention of the The Earl of ST. GERM Ad House to the debate that ha already taken place upon the subject of the Post-office appointments. With reference to the clerks of the Money Order Department of ty o be an imression that the Post-office, there appeared The Net was, that than he had represented it tu crasb,lnYee b ed.epssartnse.npt was better tuhnetileorneoditnitolny onfotchleerpkroinbattiileonratroy  long his services, could recc.:ye more than 701. a year. 13y a recent rtgulation 101. a year additional might be addrd after five years service, but beyond that there could be no augmentation. The otter point he would advert to had reference to the appointment of Mr. Farmer, from Edinburgh, to the head clerkship of the Money Order-office. From what the Noble Marquis had stated on a former occasion, it would be inferred that the other clerks in that office had been passed over on account of incompetence. That, however, could hardly be the case, since it had been represented to him that the vacant situation had been offered to three of the senior clerks in that office, if they would consent to retract certain statements in a memorial to which they had attached their names.  The Marquis of CLANRICARDE replied, that with regard to the first point, relative to the clerks in the probationary class, the Noble Earl was perfectly correct in his stateme Ir. With respect t.) the promotio❑ of Mr. Farmer, he could only say that no offer had ever been made, with his sanction, upon any conditions, to any clerk in the office, nor did he believe that Mr. Rowland Hill would have sanctioned such an offer. lle did not think that the promotion of Mr. Farmer could be supposed t cast any di:crelit upon the clerks in the Money Order-office; but ho believed, under all the circumstane,-!s, that that gentleman was the best qualified to till the place. The matter then dropped. The Police Superannuation Fund Bill was read a e on d time.  The Sumriviry Jurisdiction (Ireland) Dill, and tho Grand Jury Ceis (Ireland) Bill, severally went through Committee, and, the other Bills on rill table having been forwarded a stage, the louse adjourned until One o'clock to-morrow (dd., day).
