Mr. Hobhouse

brought up the report of the commitee of supply. The resolutions were agreed to nem. con—Mr. Secretary Yorke presented an abstract of the volunteer corps accepted by his Majesty subsequent to the 10th of August last. Ordered to lie on the table.—Mr. Corry presented the annual petitions and estimates from the Irish charitable institutions. Ordered to lie on the table.—Mr. Corry wished to give notice, that on Monday he would move the usual grants for those institutions, pursuant to the act of union. After some remarks from the Speaker on the shortness of the notice, it was stated by Mr. Corry, that there was the same interval between the notice and the motion as last year; and by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the sums and services were the same as last year, and every year, as provided for by the articles of union; and, therefore, that the House was already in possession of the subject. On these grounds the notice was allowed to stand.
