FAR/AMEN. ART PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, lAN. SI. Their Lordships were this evening engaged in the censideratfon of a point of Personal Privilege ; the deliberations on which, as is genera;ly the case, were private, and strangers were strictly excluded. It respected, as We understood, the case of a I.a4y , relict of an 'lrish Baron, who was arrested in an action for Dcbt. Some witnesses were examined at the Bar ; and the Solicitor on the occasion, as well as the officer who made the arrest, were taken into eustOdy, but subsequently ordered to be discharged on p a ying their fees. Immediately after the doors were opened, the Adjournment till to-morrow took place. - HOUSE OF COMMONS. This being the last day but one for pre.enting private Peti tions, the notice sv.s occupied for a considerable time in re- ceivi.% them. SMITHPIELD MARKET••••TEMPLE BAR. The Sheriffs of London presented a Petition from the Corporation, praying for certain alterations in Smithfield Market ; and another. Petition for a Bill for the improvement of Temple Bar. CITY THEATRE. Mr. MELLISH presented a Petition from certain per sons, for le.tve to bring in a Bill for the erection of a • Theatre in the City of London. Mr. SHERIDAN put a question across the table to Mr. Mellish, who professed himself unable to answer it. The nature of !qr. Sheridan's question we could not collect. After some other private Petitions had been pre sented, the Speaker suggested the propriety of pro ceeding to the public business, and then after that had been disposed of, recurring to what remained of the private. REGENCY BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for taking into conside ration the Amendments sent down by the Lords. The order having been read, the amendments were seve rally read and agreed to without any observation, tind Mr. Perceval and other Members were ordered to carry the Bill to the Lords, and acquaint_ their Lordships that the House had agreed to their Amendments. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that he had intended to make one or two observations upon the question respecting the Amendments, but having Missed the opportunity, he did not then rise to go into any de-' tail ; lie had already explained his sentiments too fully not to be understood as to what were his senti ments upon the Bill itself, whether as to the vice of its principle, its injurious provisions, or their mis- , chievous consequences. Upon all these he had al ready said enough ; but as upon a former occasion he had expressed his suspicions of his Majesty's Minis ters a few years back, having been guilty of an undue exercise of the Royal Authority ; of their having *surged that authority at a time when it could not have been legally exercised ; and as, from what he had since learned, he had reason to believe that those suspicions were well founded, under such circum stances he felt it his duty to state, that as soon as Parliament was regularly assembled, and in case no other Member should think it fit to do so, he should snake it his business to bring it before the considera tion of that House, and leave it to them to found any proceeding upon it they might judge proper. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that he felt as little inclined as the Honourable Gentleman could be, to renew a debate which had already been carried to such extent; nor should he now do so, notwithstanding that the Honourable Gentleman had arraigned the vice of a Bill to which he had just given his Assent ; neither should he refer to their past discussions upon that Bill, farther than by saying, that the sentiments he had stated during that discussion were unchanged, and that he had the good fortune to have had with him a majority of the House in confirmation of the justice of those senti ments. With respect to the other topic, as he con sidered what fell from the Honourable Gentleman as a notice, he should not now go into a detailed explanation, but content himself with saying, that he should be ready to meet the charge. He, nu doubt, had no more personal knowledge of the transaction than the Honourable Gentleman him self, but from the information lie had received upon that subject, an information on which he rested the most complete reliance, he had no hesitation in stat ing, that if the information he had received WAS, true, of which he had no doubt, he should be fully' prepared to meet any charge which the Honour able Gentleman might think proper to bring for ward ; and upon the same grounds, he was equally confident, that he should be able to sat:. fy the House that the act complained of was done under the imme diate sanction of that very authority of which it has been presumed to have been the violation; but as he understood the gentleman's observations to be meant as a notice mere ly, - lie should for the present abstain from going into any detail. Mr. WHITBREAD said, that when the Right Honourable Gentleman taunted him with assenting to the Bill he had complained of, merely because he, (Mr. W.) had inadvertently omitted to announce by his voice his dissent—when the Right Honourable Gentleman descended to make 'such a trivial objec tion as that, he did that which certainly could not either much assist him, or depress others ; as to his (Mr. W.'s) opinions, he had said that they, as well as those of the light Hon. Gentleman, had remained unchanged ; and as to the premises held forth by, the Right Hon. Gentleman as to what he should be able toad when the matter 'should come to issue, he (Mr. W.) enuld only say, that it would be very satisfactory to tbe *Oldie, if the Right Honourable Gentleman could establish by proot, what he had se laboured to establish by assertion. Here the con versation dropped. The thanks of the House were voted to the Rev. Charles Proby, for his sermon before that House yes terday. The Members wero now dispersing, when The Sreaxcn *ye notice; that to-morrow being the last day for teceiving private Petitions, he should take the Chair at a. quarter past three o'clock. Several private Yetitians were then presented, when tite House aajoutibMi. PONSONBY PONSONDY, Imo. The following Protest was read by Lord CROWE. Novi, in the course of his speech in the House of Lords, on Monday, the 28th ult. on a question of receiving an Appeal from Scotland :-- Mita NT IZN T—Because the authority by which Parliament has new the means of deliberating, is derived from a proceeding irregular, and only to be justified by the necessity of the case; it ought, therefore, to be strictly circumscribed by the same rule, and not be permitted to extend to matters beyond the purposes for which it has been created. Beciuse the above appeal has no connection with those objects to which the attention of Parliament is now, from an act of ne cessity, directed. Because, if a Parliament, meeting under the circumstances of the present, when one branch of the legishstrre is incapable of exertion, should assume to itself a free scope in the objects of its deliberation, before the defects in the legislature is supplied, sub jects may be brought into discussion, by which a precedent may be established subversive of the Monarchy and the Constitution. GLOUCESTER ELECTION. Gloucester, January SI. Notwithstanding the majority in favour of Sir W. GuisE, the friends of Mr. DUTTON are no way de pressed. The number of. voters in that gentleman's interest on the skirts of the county is very large.— Several bodies of freeholders in the blue interest have entered the city to-day, notwithstanding the heavy fall of snow which took place in the night ; the blues, with very few exceptions, vote for Mr. DUTTON.

Two lamp-lighters were charged by Mr. Coulson, their employer, with stealing a quantity of oil, and neglecting their duty. The prisoners in defence said, they had fallen down and spilled the oil, which was the reason they had not done their duty. The master not being able to contradict this defence, the Lord Mayor was under the necessity of discharg ing them. Yesterday Elizabeth Littler, alias Watso►t, was fully committed from Hatton-garden Office, charged with robbing several laundresses in and about Hackney. As was F.

They found, late in the day, in West Walk ; the scent at first bad, but after some sain falling, it got better, and the fox being pressed, took to the Downs, near Fortmell, sunk the vale tnbutton and Iwern, where being checked by a shepherd, he . returned to the cheer by Sir ARTHUR PAGZT'S Ledge, passed at the head of Gurtville parish, through the woods by Ashmore, to the Downs again, and _took over the whole length of the Wind-greens, through Ashcombe to Rushmore ; and taking a turn there, broke away again by Brichnore, back to Ashmore se again, where be went to earth, after it was dark.

POOILISSI.—The amateurs of pugilism muetered in 'full strength yesterday, at St. George's-row, Pad dington, where two battles took place for 44 guineas • each, with an addition of subscription purses. The , candidates who tirsuset-to, were Spicer, xecostermon ger, one of Caleb Baldwin's pupils, and a ten-stone Black of reported courage. Caleb Baldwin seconded Spicer, and Richmond did the sane by the Bleck.-es • In the first round the Black nearly closed one of his adversary's eyes, but he had strength against him, and it prevailed after a battle of h ilf an hour, with a good deal of punishment on both ides. A second battle took place between Maddox and Cottrell. €ottrell has fought twenty-six battles, and never was beaten but by Horton; who was beaten r;y Crib ; and Maddox has fought even oftener, and in • his best day stood high on the list. This battle lasted 35 minutes, during which the combatants were fully employed. Maddox pursued his system of going in milling, and Cottrell retreated and hit with both hands, with considerable force; Maddox was at length compelled to give in by loss of strength. A third battle took place between two strangers. PROVINCIAL BoxtNo.—A most sanguinary battle for 100 guineas, and a subscription purse of twenty, was fought on Monday, in the presence of :in immense concourse of spectators, at Hazely Common, Hants, between an Oxfordshire man of the name of Wood cock, and - a professional bruiser of fame. in the county of Somerset, of the name.of Tring, who was backed by Captain Hicks. In the first round, which lasted four minutes, Tring was knocked down after a dreadful' conflict, and the two subsequent rounds were as courageously niaintained with reciprocal advantage. In.the fourth round both the combatants were blind, but they fought in that state twenty nunetes, when Tring got a broken jaat, and was beat nearly lifeless. 'lt was strength opposed tb science, and the former prevailed. A bull-bait and a back-sword match fol lowed the battle, Tim Scots EXCISEMAN.-•-Some time ago, the ciseman of a Scots village, having drank rather freely, fell asleep on his way home, and was found next mor ning, almost lifeless from cold, by some colliers ring to their work, who, whether from motives of humanity, or to gratify a waggish disposition we know not, carried him with them to the bottom of the pit, where, lean. ing him to his repose, they commenced their labour. After some time he awoke, utterly at a loss to disco ver where he was ; but filled with horror at the dark. ness that surrounded him—the noise of the water running in every direction—and the glimmer ing of lights at a distance, by which he U . :li enabled to dis cover, at intervals, figures that bore a resemblance to the human form ; these were both male and female, and =making, As the colliers generally do, with very short pipes, there appeared, to the imagination of the terrified wight,to issue from their mouths and nostrils volumes of fire and smoke. In fact, he was setioesly impressed with an idea, that the Sent, inc • De'irs awa' v.i' the Exciseman," had been verified in his case, and that he had! arrived in the In fernal Regions. On being asked by, as-he supposed, one of the imps of his Satanic Majesty, what he was he replied with great. trepidation-e•" Ohl I was a gauger i'the ither warld,but I diona ken what I'm to be in this!" . • • • - •
