Ordered to lie on the table.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer observed, that a ballot to determine the merits of the Middlesex petition stood for Monday, which, with a view to the dispatch of public business, it would be desirable to postpone, as the difficulty of proceeding in a ballot at this advanced period of the session might interfere with that business. It was for the house to consider whether it would not be expedient to put off the ballot to next session, but at all events it was highly desirable to discharge the order for Monday, when it might be fixed for some other day in the week, for the house to have an opportunity of considering the propriety of putting it off to the next session.—After a short interval of consultation, the order was made, by consent of all parties, for Thursday, the 1st of August, being in effect to defer the ballot to next session.
