Mr. ItOSE gave notice, that en Friday , he shed,' move for leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the establialunent of Banks fur Saving. LOTTERIES. Mr. THOMPSON stiove;cl, that there be laid before , the House the name and salary of every person em. ployed in the country parts of the kingdom by the Government, as a Commissioner of the Lottery.—' He said massy of these had large salaries, and they scarcely ever attended in town for the purpose of doing business, euept for a few days. • Mr. LYT I'LETON declared, that he had a de cided objection to Lotteries in general, which tended to do the greatest mischief in the country by intro ducing a spirit of gambling and profligacy, and by ruining numbers of Mr. BENNEr declared it as hiss opinion that no thing could tend more to corrupt the manners and debauch the character of dee people 'than Lotteries, and he believed there was nothing .desPieable or vi. ciour which persons concerned in these gambling spe culations would not resort to,. and it was impos sible to conceive a worse mode df raising supplies. Mr. M. A. I'AYLOR said, it might be recollected and might be obset ved, on reference to. the Journals, hat upwards of three and twenty years ago, he had brought in a Bill for abolishing Lotteries altogether. Mr. Pitt was then at the head of the Administration, and when the Bill had been nearly carried through the House, he said he conceived the Lottery to be a very proper war tax, and the bill was laid aside. He was himself confident that there could not be a worse mode of raising money: At the time when the Bill was before - the House, he proved that to be the fact, he produced evidence to shew, that poor women had even made away with their children's shoes to raise money for gambling in the Lottery. Mr, Pitt did apply to ham to know by what mode the evil . of, gambling mightbe reaiedied. , He was not able to sug gest any other mode than that of drawing the whole in two or th ree d a ys. That remedy was adopted, and although not altogether effectual, it removed a great part of the evil. It was, however, a fit subject tor the consideration of the Houle. With respect to the present motion, it applied to persons whose sala ries were very trifling, and who certainly perforined some service for what they received... LiniceJ such persons must necessarily be ensployed, for so lontas Lotteries eauted,there must be Conswitsiuners to carry !.#~~ . . _ ••• dwe' ~~ pniNcs OF €-BOURG.

Leopold Ge urge Frederick, Prince of Saxe Cnbo irg, 3cc. to c'w ron him all the rights of a natural born subject of this kingdom, and settle his prec7dency."—Leave was given, and litchi!! was brought up and read • first time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER' then moved. " That the 81.1 be read in ail its stagel.7 I'. is was done, the Bill passed, and sent immediately to the Lards. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. METHUEN presented a Petition from the Members of the Agricultural Society of Wiltshire, praying the House to adopt measures for their relief, by preventing the importation of provisions from abroad; and also praying for the establishment of public economy in all the departments of the State. The Hon. Member said, these Petitioners were not mere speculators in politics, bat most industrious, use ful, and respectable persons, who had the interest of their country really at heart. They complained of the tax on salt as a great grievance.—The Petition was brought up and read. Mr. GORDON bore testimony to the great respec tability of the persons who signed this Petition. He hoped that duties would be laid on all foreign pro duce brought from other countries, and particularly on cheese and butter. Mr. ROBINSON di.l not conceive it necessary to enter into a discussion on this question at present. The Prtiti ;n was ecderici to lie on the Tkble. A Message from the Lords informed the linuse, that they had agreed to Prince Leopold's Naturali zatinn Bill wiih•lut any amendment. Mr. TIERNLV wi-:hed the Right Honourable Gentleman nu the ether side would inform him whe ther the Lt-timates et the Civil List were ;duly to be s'x;i: laid betine t!ie House ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa;tl, k was 11:5 1111.M:101 to present ceintin,Estimates on that suhk:ct, but ha could no: say tirt.a. Mr. TIERNEY asked it it was intendA: to make any reductions in the Civil List ? Tl:e CHANCELLOR o! the EXCHEQUER rep'•i- 1, that the House wouid soon !Lire an ppo•tu• nity ot seri•ig what branches iit the Civil Llbt were c..palile of reduction. Colonel NVOOD presented a Petition from the County of Brecknock, praying for measur.s tor the relief of the agricultural interests ; and that the strictest economy might be observed in all Lie De. partroents of th. State, as the best meal,: of reLev-. ing their burdens; that sinecure places might be abo. tished ; and that if a loan of eight should be necessary, the interest of the same might be taken from the Slaking Fund.—The Petition was read. Mr. GRENFELL called the attention of the Mi. nister to the Sinking Fund, and asked if it WAS his intention to raise money through the medium of that Fund ? He was confident that great advantage would arise to the country from taking the interest of a loan out of the Fund. Mr. CALCRAFT was sorry to find that nothing, was yet dune in consequence of the various prayer* of Petitions coming from different parts of the coun try, and ht hoped the House w‘suld attend to them. —The Petition was ordered to be on the Table. Mr. M. FOULKES presented a Petition from the Freeholders of the County of Norfolk, praying for relief against burdens; that there might be no large military establishments ; that the Petitioners con, ceived it a wasteful expenditure of public money to give large salaries to Clerks in Public Offices ; and they prayed that all unnecessary burdens might be done away.—Ordered to lie on the Table. Mr. WESTERN moved, that the House do re. solve itself into a Committee, to consid ar the aid-. 'cultural distresses of the country. Lord LASCELLES observed, that before any Resolutions were laid before the House, or before the Speaker left the Chair, it might be convenient to state the course intended to be pursued in this inves tigation; he wished to know what was intended to be done. Mr. WESTERN said, it was his intention to state these things in the Committee. His own ojnion was, that there should be a . general debate on ►he questien, conducted in such a manner, that the re. Cult would inform every body what was the real state of the distress under which the country laboured ; and in order that by means of such information, every Gentleman might become acquainted with the nature of the remedy that ought to be adopted. For these reasons he thought .it would be better in the first instance to take a general view of what was the ;real state of the country. Lord LASCELLES observed,, that an alarm might be cleated in the country from the introduc. Con of any Bill founded on the resolutions, before it could be known what the object of the Bill was; for as it must, in its nature, be a Tax Bill, so petition could be presented in opposition to it after it was introduced into the House.- Mr. ROBINSON conceived, it'weuld be better first to d►scuss the whole business in a mass, and that the Honourable Gentleman might open it generally by a speech. The House hiving reached is,elf into a Coat.
