—A ballot took place for a committee to try and determine the merits of the petition, complaining of the election and return for the city of Dublin. The following gentlemen were appointed on the committee: Ed. Loveden Loveden, esq. J. R. M'Kenzie, esq. J. Robinson, esq. Earl of Yarmouth, T. Johnes, esq. F. Fane, esq. Sir C. Mordaunt, bart. G. Thomas, esq. A. Brown, esq. S. Horrocks, esq. N. Fellowes, J. Lemoin, esq. Sir J. P. Cotterell. Nominees, H. Parnell, esq. I. Gascoyne, esq.— 85 —Mr. Adam, pursuant to notice, moved that the order for taking the Aberdeenshire petition into consideration on the 24th instant, be discharged, in order to have it put off to the 13th of April. After a short conversation between Mr. R. Dundas, the lord advocate of Scotland, sir J. Pulteney, Mr. Perceval, Mr. Canning, and Mr. Adam, the motion was negatived without a division.—Sir J. Newport brought up a bill for the improvement of the city of Dublin, which was read a first time; and, on the motion that it be read a second time on Monday next, Mr. Shaw (of Dublin) expressed a hope that the hon. baronet would not object to the printing of the bill, nor press the second reading on so early a day as Monday next. It was a measure by which the interest of his constituents might be very materially affected, and he was therefore anxious to have sufficient time to consider the provisions it contained, of which he was then ignorant, as well as to communicate with his constituents, the parties most interested, upon the subject. The Speaker informed the hon. gent. that, as the bill was, in a great measure, of a private nature, it fell within the provisions for regulating the proceedings upon private bills, and that, in like manner, as in the case of all private bills from Ireland, the period of three weeks must intervene between the first and second reading. The second reading was then fixed for Monday three weeks.
