NIT.. J. H. SNIYTH, of idge, wishing to oh-1 serve that in the Committee the first Resolution was carried by a majority of only one, and the last was only carried by the casting vote of the Chairman. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, as one of the Committee, he woald willingly bear testimony. that the Honourable Nlember for Cambridge was not in the least remiss the discharge of the duty which he considered himself to owe to his constituents, by  icsisting the Resolutions. The Honourable Gentleman nrght have, whenever he pleased, the benefit of his testimony to this point. It was true the Resolutions in the Committee were only carried by a majority of six to five, but of the minority of five, four were the Representatives for Oxford and Cambridge. But with respect to the numbers of the majority, the Resolutions were tezhnically as much the Resolutions of the Committee, as if that Committee had even been unanimous ; and the House would, in deciding on them, try them by a very differeht test from that of the votes in the Committee. The House in their decision would be solely governed by the reasonableness of the Resolutions.  Mr. PEEL and Lord PALMERSTON, Members for Oxford and Cambridge, rose at the same time, which excited a laugh in the House ;—the former having given way, Lord PALMERSTON considered this attempt to insinuate that he was unduly influenced, as unworthy of any serious notice, and he should only treat it with contemptuous silence. He repeated the statement as to the smallness of the majority. Mr. PEEL said, notwithstanding the laugh, by which it was intended to make the opponents of this Report the subject of ridicule, he should not be deterred from stating that it came forward with few claims to favour ; and he trusted the House would entertain a very different opinion on the subject from that of this small majority. Mr. WYNW thought it rather an unusual course to bring before the House the state of divisions on Select Committees. If it were alleged that some of  ReS.oltitiOns in the dominittee been carried Only by the, eastioj have hen also said, that the HA" :he copies riven td Ste had been one cpponen•, if a person expretsini be considered an cppcinent.
