His Lord ship prefaced the introduction with a few observations. The Archbishop of TOBY presented a Petition from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of that. Province, praying that the Constitution of these Realms may be preserved inviolate in Church and State. The Marquis CONYFIGHAM presented a Belden from the litontan Catholic Inhabitants of the Town of Drogheda, praying the removal of, the remaining disabilities on persons of that re- The TroI7:I3SSLYN presented a.

His Lerdship pa:titu larly observed, there were numerous Petitions of a similar ten dency, respecting, others of the Scots Burghs, Item various de scriptions of individuals; but in the present instance, the Peti tioners were chiely the Corporations themselves. The Canal Felonies' Bill went through a Committee, and was reported without any amendment. The Excise Licences' and the East India Cassias' Duties' Bills were read the second time; and the remaining Bills upon the table, chiefly private or local, being respectively forwarded, their Lordships adjourned till Tn.:sorrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. This being the day for &Dotting for ll:lntim Committees on the Petitions from St. Ins and Drogheda, the door of the gal- . lery was not opened till about half-post Ave. • When strangers were admitted the Serjeant at Arms was un der exantinatios touching the conduct of certain Members who had entered the House after the ballot, and before the names bad been called ever. A Menses immediately moved that strangers should with draw and tie pliery was accordingly cleared. Mil. F. Roannos.Mr. Q. Been, sod Ms. A. Euts, entered the House before the names were called over. The first named Hoe. Member stated himself to have been forced in by the pres sure in the lobby, and was excused ; the other two were ordered into the custody of the Serjesnt at Arms. • The gallery was again opened at a quarter before six. The names of the Members banned to try the merits of the St. Ives' Petition was brought and read. It was as follows : Memnon Ure, Esq. E. Tattoo, Eaq. B. M. Cubed, Xs+ S. Crawley, Ea+ & Lusidngton, Esq. Carter, Esq. Sir B. Herds= N. R. Colbourn*, Esq.' B. P. Dastard * Fog. Hon. J. H. K. Stewart Sir E. Wilson O. H. /Knauer, Esq. H. R. . &di ShiAber m. Thl. IT. P.

Mr. ORENFELL gave nonce, that tomorrow be intended to move for certain Papers whie't he thought wouldems the e y of applying the Sinking Fund to the purposes for w l l e g en aly Loan might be thought necessary for the service of this year. In moving for these papers he meant to abstain from say discussion on the subject. Lord EBRINGFON rose, pursuant to his nodes, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to empower Magistrates to decide disputes concerning the Wages of Seamen of Merchant Vessels. Orem inconvenience had marred in particular cases by the want of this power. He understood that no oppesidest would be made to the motion. Mr. GIDDY GILBERT emended the modan.—Agmed to.

Dr.. PHILLIMORR gave notice that on Thendly be lessiedini to move a Reseleden for the Reduction of the Salt MAW DROGHEDA PRTITIOIL The reduced List of Memben appointed to try the merits of the Drogheda Petition was brought up and read. It was as follows : Sir Thomas Mostyn, C M. Phillips, Esq. Jfteph Pitt, Esq. D. Dugdale, Esq. W. H. Scourileid, Fs/. R. Vinson, Esq. Hon. Sir G. Cole, C S. Lefevre, Esq, J. Blair, Esq. Hon. T. Bread, J. Carrol, Esq. C. W. W. Wynne, Esq. J. Martin, Esq. Sir J. Stewart. • T. F. Kennedy, Esq. On the name of Mr. snit PITT being called over, the Honourable Member did not appear, and in consequence the business of the day could not pro ceed. A long pause.followed. Mr. F. BUXTON begged to know the cause of the deltiy. The SPEAKER said, if there had been less noise in the House, the Honourable Member might• have known that the dela was caused by the circmn. stance of one of the of the Reduced List, appointed to try the merits of a Petition complain. ing of an undue return foe Drogheda, not being pro sent to be sworn. Mr. BUXTON then mo►ed that that Member should be taken into custody. Mr. W. W YNNE said, it was impossible for the }louse to proceed to other business till the ballot was &paid Itheugh • of. The motion just made was unusual, he'nuaceived it to be founded on a precedent armed In the year 1807, when the House committed in of its Members to the custody ofthe Serjeaut at Aides for absenting himself, after he had been ',al lotted to serve on an Election Committee. The SPEAKER put the question, " that JOSEPH Pier, Esq. be committed to the custody of the Ser jeant at Arms." Mr. DENT thought the motion premature. Be , fore such a step were taken they ought to be better informed of the nature of the case. He was sure something extraordinary had 'happened. It might be (but he did not know such to be the fact) that having served on an Election Committee, the Ho nourable Member had gone away, thinking himself free to do so. He was sure he had not negligently absented himself. and that what had taken place was the result of some accident that might happen to him or any other Member. He therefore hoped the mo tion would not be pressed. Mr. BUXTON had not made his motion from any personal feeling against the Honourable Member, and was now ready to waive it. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. W. WYNNE repeated his former statement, that till the Ballot was disposed of. the House could not proceed with any other business. Mr. DENT was confident the Honourable Mem ber was absent through some mistake, or very un usual occurrence. Lord CASTLEREAGH suggested, that it might be as well for the Honse to suit a short time to see if the Honourable •Member would be forthcoming. Perhaps the best.course would be to send . to his residence. The SPEAKER-- As the House could do nothing till the Ballot was disposed of, thought it advisable to wait the return of the Honourable Member. As to sending to him, he begged to state, that as soon as it was known he was not in his place, he had taken the liberty to dispatch a Messenger to his resi dence instantaneously. Mr. BERNALL said they were under some un certainty when the Honourable Member might re turn, and as they might be kept waiting for a very considerable time, he should move that the House do now adjourn. The SPEAKER observed, the House had first to consider whether this question could be entertained? He was sure that there was no precedent for it, and he doubted whether it could be put. But, if such a motion could be made, then it would be fot the House to consider whether such were the course that it would be most expedient to pursue, as, after ad journing till to-morrow, fresh difficulties might oc cur, and another question might arise, whether a new Ballot would not be s►ecessary ? The motion was not pressed, and the House con tinued to sit without proceeding to business, expect ing the return of Mr. Joseph Pitt. In about half an hour Mr. J. PITT appeared. The SPEAKER said, that he was persuaded the Honourable Member would feel, that as be had been the cause of .some delay to the House, it was due to them that the Honourable Member should state the cause of his absence. Mr. J. PITT apologized, and explained that his absence was occasioned by the misinformation. of a Member, from whom he understood, that In striking off the names for the Committee.. his own .had been struck off. On this he went away. at he had spar. titular reason for wishing to be at home as soon as possible. He declared that ...no Alvan -wes-zoiwe anxious than himself to observe the orders: of the House, and he trusted that under the particular cir cumstances of this case, he would meet with the in dulgence of the House. After a few words from Mr.WYNNE, thUMens- - hers of the Committee were sworn in. • :* 2 - HALTORD 9 S DIVORFR ItrLi,. " Halford's Divorce Bill was committed, and Coun sel heard, and witnesses examined on behalf of Mr. Halford.—The Report was received. Mr. CROKER objected to the way in which the Bill was worded, which was such that he was per suaded the House could not agree to it. Ha also thought that the criminality had not been proved. • Sir E. ENATCHBULL was at a loss to know what farther . proof could be required. It was proved that the parties had been in bed together. Mr. LIJSHINGTON remarked, it was rather odd to object to the evidence after the House had gone out of the Committee. A fitterna remarked, that one , of the witnesses had proved that she had listened at Mrs. Halford's door, and heard that Lady conversing with -her (the witness's) brother. Mr. CROKER.—The proof that parties conversed was no proof of a criminal conversation—(laugliter). After a few words from Mr. GORDON and Mr. BzaNALL, Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the parties had gone to a Court of Law—as the Bill had come from the other House of Parliament—and as wit nesses had been examined, and not one question ask ed by those Members who cioibted the evidence, it was strange to raise objections in the present stage. After a few words from Dr. Puttuatoaa, the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. IRISH IIiAItINACTORIES. Mr, H. PARNELL Moved for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the employment Of Children in the Cotton-mi other Factories in Ireland. No man was more aw►ate than himself of the mischief produced by interfering with individual labour in many cases; but the case of children employed in the Irish manu factories was an exception. The Bill which he wished tointkidnee contained a clause, providing that those Manirrictrireil who used the children in their em ployment* crelloshoild be exempted from the assessed taxes. - Hf hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not object to this clause. He concluded by , moving Tor leave to bring-in a Bill 1 . 6 r promoting the education and morals of Children employed in Cotton .strid other Factories in Ireland. '-'Bir CiEORGE'HILL objected that no Petitions fo 'Ala a Bill had been presented, and that there were no returns moved for-to thew that it was neces lary. o If be-had Weir aware of the strange nature of theßill, he shot ldisever have promised his assent to this Motion. ' Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, no Member by.ikree • ing to•the rhoon for leave to bring . a Bill could • be. s to pledge himself to su pport the Bill at all events. When this Dill was brought, perhars any clauses to which the Hon. Bas'estet object e d be removed. Mr. CROKER said, if this law was nece:nr., Ireland, there was no reason why it should - tend to England. The principle on which he ceived the House should act, now that the tries were united, was, that unless there wa s special reason to the contrary, all new laws extend equally to both. If this Bill was to b e fined to Ireland, he hoped the Honourable who introduced it would be prepared to good reason why it should not extend t Mr. PHILLIPS expressed great surprise the provisions of the proposed Bill, which that reports of the state of children in the factories shduld be delivered to the Society Suppression of Vice, and other private • of the sa.ne kind. Mr. W. PARNELL said, the intention buting Reports to such Societies was opinion as to the treatment of the children, giving them any power to interfere as ment of the children. Leave was then gi , in the Bill. CLAIMS ON PRANCE. Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that on France Bill be committed. The House solved itself into the Committee. Mr. C. HUTCHINSON said, that all descriptions were under great oblit, , ,ai Commissioners for the mode in whi c h ducted the husines entrusted to them. fore did nut wish to be understood as impute any blame to the Commissioners. no doubt that the intention of the Noble " Convention of 18lL, was to secure tht the British claimants. The total amouni was about Si millions, and including non-commercial, the total amount was £6,000,000. To meet this there was i. Government about.C:3,ooo,oW, or equal 60 per cent. on the gross amount oft) was on the supposition that all the ciui lowed; but it was evident that many of had been made, were of such a nature be allowed. The class of claimants to wh( now particularly to call the attention were those of merchants, who had bec, of France, and especially of the province gundy, under the Convention of 1786. stipulated expressly that those merchants be compelled to take their tnerchandme or fair but such as they chose. But by tion of 1815, the claimants of all descriptions territorial or commercial, were apparently for. But doubts had arisen in the minds missioners, whether that Convention ear claimants who had suffered losses by Treaty of 1786. He was sure that the would be surprised to learn that the funded had already received £1,500,000, or one whole amount of the remuneraticn—the claimants nothing—and the commercial Only 80001. Thus the only claims whi attended to were those which should hal of all considered, because they were b. 'had been spemlators in the French decree passed during the reign of terror punishments were denounced against who should pay over airy property belongim ti t sh subjects, and under this decree the several respectable houses had. been imi some time. He bad in his possession c Goad .Lynch of Bourdeaux, confirming of the violences committed in 1793; aga property, and these he was ready to . prott satisfaction of the Noble Lord. What was, that claimants should have an appeal Commissioners Ott their decision as to their claims. Such an appeal would giv, claimed, indemnity for losses occabioced violences. Lord CASTLEREAGH said he wished tinctly understood as not intending to • opinion as to any of the claims. The House was not a judicial one, but solely the best tribunal for judging of the several The title of the parties was in the sevr tions, and the whole object now was to the due execution of the various articles. Lord mentioned that three or four cases yet bees decided by the Commissioners, fore that the Hon. Member (Mr. Hutchinson perhaps be mistaken as to the affirmed the party alluded to. As to precludini, cases doubtful, a period of five months had by the Commissioners, during which parties tatated were empowered to make any amen" their claims by substantial evidence. commended the Honourable Member . those encomiums on the Commissioner they were fully entitled. It was acting candour and propriety towards them. / riety of mixed cases which might come and on which the Commissioners might , selves fully adequate to decide, the King ca. were empowered ultimately to adjust ences. His Lordship therefore saw no making any klause bear partially upon lar case. Mr. HUSKISSON was of the same his Noble Friend, and did not see ho , could give any opinion as to the nature and the construction of the Treaty. The hided to had been confiscated in 1793 by Republic, and though professed to be r decree of the Convention in 1795, stub had been a love mockery. The claim was founded on the 'Treaty of 1814, and chew that theirpropeity had been cone. were entitled to indemuifkation from the by the French Government. The parti fectly satisfied with the appeal to the Kin) ea. The British claimants demanded the period when the property had been but the French Commissioners had irate' obstacle a Municipal Law of France, interest could ull paid beyond a perioa 4 five years • no s had tha: objection been surmounted till after the return of Efonaparte from Elba, and hie subsequent overthrow.
