After soon observations from Mr. FINLAY, on thisubject of the Petition, Mr. V. FITZGERALD said it was not his intention to pro- pose any repeal of those Duties. Forty-five thousand pounds had been added to the Revenue from Ashes alone. Mr. D. BROWN agreed with the prayer of the Petition. Sir J. NEWPORT considered the Duties necessary. Mr. D. BROWN explained. • The Petition was laid on the Table. Papers relative to charges of the Navy Office were brought up, and ordered to be laid on the Table. Mr. GRAT CAN brought up a Petition from the Citizens and Merchants of Dublin against the Dutileary•Harbour lithe The SPEAKER Informed the Right Honourable Member, that the Petition could not be received without a recommenda tion from the Crown.

W. QUIN. A Mes.age from the Lords 'Moaned the House that their Lordships had agreed to the Lactiequer Bills in Aids Bill, Willi.. out any amendment. The Honourable H. G. BENNET brought up a Petition from Persons confined in Cold Bath-field. Prison, for taking illegal Insurances, praying for relief. He had no doubt, but ni my of tlrm were entirely innocent of the charges Lti t agalsist thein.- 1 One woman was summoned to Bow .street on the charge of a common inloriner, and she bad convicted all the witnesses against her, except one, of various practice., since she had got out of prison. 'ibis practice of illegal Insurance wasvncouraged by the &patent of Lottery which excited every species of gambling Mr. LY FELTON considered, that this was one more in stance of the bad effects of the Lottery sygem. tie should on some future opportunity redeem the pledge he had given, to bring the subject of Lotteries before the House. The Petition was read and laid on the 'fable. Mr. WROT f ESL-EY nose in pursuance ut his notice, to make a motion respecting Charitable Donation.. He had formerly moved that several Papers respecting this subject should be printed, which had been done. 'there had been very detective Returns In several Charitable Institutiimus, and he thought that a measure of this kind would, prevent those deficiencies in future. After several other observations the Ham Metubm-r moved fur leave to bring in a Bill to amend and extend two Acts of his pre sent Majesty, respecting Charitable Donations. Leave given, and a Committee appointed to prepare the Bill. • SIR T. THOMPSON. Mr. W. WYNN rose to call the attention of the, House to the subject of the Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital. The question was, whether that officer was to keep his seat after accepting his office ? A precedent had occurred in 1736, when an officer very similar to the Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital, had been obliged to vacate his seat. There had been' Resolutions of the House passed, , whiCh he consi dered as embracing- the present case. This situation had been considered as a military appointment, and on that account a new Wilt ought to be issued. A Captain Balter had vacated his seat front having ac cipted the situation of Surveyor General of the Ord nance, and a Captain Luttrel had vacated his seat froth the same cause. The Hon. Member aoncluded by submitting a declaratory motion--- , ' That- the Office at Treasurer of Greenwich Hospital is a naval appointment." . —The Hon. Member then moved that the clause might be read from the Resolutions which related to this subject, which was accordingly done. Mr. BANKES thought, that the best way to get' rid of the present question would be to move the pre vious question. He believed that there was a case of a Treasurer ht . Greenwich Hospital having retained his seat after his appointment. It might be expected that the office in question would be held by a Naval Officer, though it was nevertheless no ' commission. The Hoa. Member was undoubtedly aware, that our ancestors had taken to themselves the privilege of holding seats with various offices;, they had done it in good times, and though it was some time since the office had been held by _any Member of that House, he saw no reason why it should be held now as k, had been formerly. The resolution of the House, as well as the practice, remained just as it was formerly. There was, he would remind the' House, no question as to the eligibility of Memters of Parliament to' the office, the whole question was,' whether the person who had accepted the office was to vacate hit seat in order to be re-elected? . Mt: &leant. •ONSLOW took a different view of . • • - .Ndt's 4,•• 4,11 k gr , J)) . • „vie , • r •\- • .trgtee brj4Wl.o.a . — Fi 01 PRICE StVEN-PENCE. the question from the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Baakes). The House wneld abancler its pri. vileges if it agreed t. the previous question. This is no naval ur military situation, it was only advance ment in the naval or military service, that did not require vacating a•seat in that House. Ile shopld therefore vote lestiner the previous .question. Mr. ABER CROM IIY argued, t4at voting for the previous question would be directly in the teeth of the Act of Patliamcnt, on the subject, for no one doubted that this was neither a naval nor military ap. pointtnent. This was also an of:ice hell during the pleasure 44 the Crown, and therefore Sir T. Thornp sott's not vacating his seat was objectionable as in creaing the inflaence of the Crown. Mr. G. ROSE perfectly agreed with Isis Honour. able Friend (Mr. Bar kes), and thought that the atm - - logy pointed out by him was fully sufficient. Mr. PONSONIBY never heard more extraordinary arguments than those advanced by the Hon. Gentle. man (Mr. Bankes). This was an office during plea. . s ure from the Crown. There was no exception from vacating a seat in that House on accepting a piece nnder es: Crown, except with respect to naval and military situations. This situation was neither naval nor military. On • what grounds then could the House ref use to issue the writ ? The Hon. Gentleman said, on that of analogy. There was no analogy to justify this breach of the Act of Parliament. The case that was brought forward to establish the analogy had never been brought into question, and therefore there was no analogy in it. In the case of the Trea. surer of the Hospital which had been brought into question, the Howe had issued a writ, and he va. cated 11:.s seat, and therefore the analogy was against the Honourable Gentleman's arguments. And what was this contradiction of an Act of Parliament for? Was it in favour of the liberties of the subject, was it to protect the privileges of the House ? No, it wag against them. The Honourable Gentleman could find neither law, nor fact, nor decision in favour of his arguments, and yet he desired the House to act in direct contradiction to an Act of Parliament. If ever there was a casein which the House should pro ceed with a sense of its privileges it was the present. L•srd CASTLEREAGH thought, that the law should have souse. latitude. Professional advance meat was excepted, and this was so similar that it established a sufficient analogy. It would set no ex ample in favour of a general practice contrary to the Act of Idarliathent. He-also believed there was a pseceJent of st• giiiveyor:Gerieral of the Navy. He tharefore vote forthe previous question. Loid A. HAMILTON contended, that Sir T. Thompson's not vacating his seat would set an ex ample of 'the general practice.

Mr. HORNER, in rising to move for a select Committee to inquire into the expediency of calling on the Bank of England to resume their Cash Pay. mem., observed, it was a great satisfaction to him, that his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the • Exchequer) had allowed lijm to submit his motion to the House, before any farther progress had been made in the Bill for renewing the Bank Restriction Act ; because he was quite sure that it must be the expectation of all those Members of the House, who had at any time paid attention to this subject, that, in the present situation of the country, before the measure of restriction was renewed (hot for a short time, but for a pet loaf of two years), the notice of the Legislature should be called to it, in a detailed and particular manner—in order that they should under stand how far a measure, which originated under very different circumstances, should be continued at present—in order that they might learn why Minis. ters should adopt a restriction from cash payments, as almost a permanent part of their present system of finance. The Astonishment which lie felt whets he heard that it was meant. to propose the measure for two years, was, he believed, generally felt through out the country. From what his Right Hon. Friend had said, on a firmer occasion, the people thought, that, after a cessation of hostilities—when a time of peace had arrived—an end would be pat to this sys tem, which, whether right or wrong, was adopted in a period of war—and that we should resume that course of law and practice, with respect to cash pay. melts, on which the prosperity of the country de. pended, and on which the trausactiuns between man and in in, could alo ne by safely conducted. The proposition for a renewal of the restrictions, for two years. had this effect on his mind—it led him to . doubt the professions of Ministers, altogether, as to their feeling any desire for the resumption of cash payments —(Hear.)—They had repeatedly said, that the old system should be resorted to, OM the cenclu sion of peace; that, as soon as possible after the ces sation of war, the restriction shoulJ be removed. It was now six months after the signe:ure of a defini tive Treaty of Peace—twelve menths had elapsed since this- country virtually enjoyed the benefits of solid peace, for since June last she had no enemy— and yet, at this moment, without arty previous consie dewiest, they were called on to renew the measure, they were asked to keep things in the same situation in which they were placed during the co:Aim:ince of hostilities. 'Fliir they were requested to di', without any one step being taken to facilitate the resumption of cash payments. Looking, therefore, to the is which his Right Hon. Friend had proposed the measure, he entertained very great doubts of the pro. fessions of Ministers. But, it he felt a doubt with respect to Ministers, no doubt whatevet existed in his mind witleeespect to the Bank set England.—(ll,er, kear.)—Were they not told, year after year (until they scarcely coatd hear the declaration with gravity), by Gentlemen connected with the Bank, that their • nut resuming their cash payments was all a matter of compulsion—that it WAS against their aystem— .th4 pothiag was so painful to their feelings, as thiur • It a - 14 :f) 1487:11Y.D14 MUSS, :Mr! 1. 1816.
