NEWS OF THE WEEK.
BOTH Houses of Parliament adjourned on Wednesday, for the Easter holydays; the Lords to Friday the 27th, the Commons to Wednesday the 25th of this month. Those—if there be ang- els) wish to know what their Representatives were about during die first three days of the week, will find a sufficient record of their proceedings in our Parliamentary abstract. The only point which it seems necessary to particularize in this place, is the Me of 33,500/. for Pensions, by courtesy said to be "due" on the Rh of April, brought forward by Mr. SPEI No Rica, in breach of the distinct promise that no more money should be voted on that account till after the completion of the Pension-list inquiry. It is Om worthy of remark, that to pay this sum, the money must be borrowed from the Bank ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer ad. milting that the Treasury ie empty, and that he must anticipate the current quarter's revenue.
