PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 7. On the Scots Appeal of- Walker v. Cunninghame, their Lord ships judgment went to reverse. that'of the Court below. • The Royal Assent,was declarednß-Commission to the Irish Customs Duties, the Parish Vestries, the -Irish Grand Jury Pre sentments, the Passengers Regulathins, end a few other Bills. • The Lords Commissioners wele e ilsii Loan Cuaxastioa, the Earl of Healowae, and the Earl .of Suereztatte. The Irish Excise Licences, the Assessed Taxes Relief, the Plate Glass, the Irish Permits, the Irish Bank Cash Payments, the New South Weien Customs, else Charitable Funds, and one or two Return ab, were brought up from the Commons by Baoootat end others, and *ellen mentioned Bills were se verally read eh; first time. A Lord- AUCKLAND havhsg moved the rejection of the !mei vest Debtors Bill, which, he observed, under the circumstanses, Was In his opinion the moat eligible course to pursue, Lord REDESDA LE made some observations on the occa sloe. expressive rs the opinions advanced by him on the subject both of the existing Act and the measure in question on former discussions, and in justification ble the line of conduct pursued by himself in relation to the subittt. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that if the Act re specting Insolvent Debtors and the Bill in question were looked at, it would be seen they went little more or less than to esta blish two systems Bankrupt Laws. The administration of justice should proceed upon clear and distinct principles, but let not one half of his Majesty's subjects be subject to one system of Bankrupt Laws and the other, half to another system. Lord AUCKLAND dieclairned the slightest intention what ever, in any thing that fell from him, of impugning the opposi tion made by the Noble and Learned Lord to the Bin In mice tion. What occerred respell,* it, he thought a serious cala mity, as the measure, in his Mfild, went to abridge the impri senment of the debtor, and afforded at the same time the best oseans for the securitt of the debtor. The question was put, and the Bill rejected accordingly. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that being unable to attend to-morrow forenoon in sufficient time, he should pro- pose that the Order for resuming the % consideration of the Queens berry Causes to-morrow, should be postponed tilt Friday, when they should be brought on precisely at ten o'clock.—Ordered. Lord AUCKLAND presented a Petition from the Magis trates and Town Council of the Royal Burgh of Inverness, against any ref eon in the Royal Burghs. On the occasion of tic first reading of the Irish Bank Cash Payments' Bill, a short conversation took place between the N.rquis of LANSDOWNIE and the Earl of LIVLIiPOOL on the sub jecte in which the first mentioned Peer offered no serious objec tion to what the Bill proposed, but stated his opinion that cer tain provisions of the Bill were unnecessary, as, according to his best information on the subject, the Bank of Ireland was not placed under the necessity of making any purchase of gold what ever against the stated period. The Earl of LIVERPOOL coincided with the Noble Mar quis in a great degree. Ile noticed that 'an intention had pre vailed of putting the Bank of Ireland on the footing of the Country Barks in this part of the United Kingdom, with re spect to Cash Payments, but a prejudice seemed to prevail esainst it at the time. • , After a few words floim the Earl of LI 3IERI Cii, the Bili was read the first time. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second reading of the Irish Still Fines' Bill, and observed, that a Nobie Lord who was desirous of making surne obsrrvatlons on the subject, authorised him (Lord Liverpool) to say, that he bad no objection to the second reading of the BIN as the discussion may be taken on the next stage of the Bill te-morrow.—The Bill was then read the second time. • The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice of his intention, on Friday next, to move an Address to his Royal Highness than Prince Regent. upon the inbiect of the African Slave Trade, and recommending tlul opening a negotiation with the Govern ments of France alai the United States, with the view of effect ing its final abolition. • The Noble Marquis then moved, that Messages be sent to the Commons requesting Copies of the Reports of their Select Committees, on the subjects of the Puor's Laws, and of the Penal Code.—Ordered. After some observations from the Marquis of Lerasower and Lotd Dvsmvoa, the third reading of the Fisheries Preservation • Bill was deferred till this day three months. • The Appropriation 13111, the East India Goods, the Counter vailing Duties, the Exchequer Bills,- the Welch Game, Irish Treasury Bills, Navy Agents, the Cargoes' Reports, and the Milliasik Penitentiary Bills, passed through Committees of the Whole House, and were reported. On the question for the second reading of the Scots Churches Bill, some conversation on the subject took place between the .Sari of Lauoratnaix, ciscount let.vit.t.z, and the Earl of 113661,VN, in the course of which the Noble Earls made a variety of objeetions to the Bill in its present shape, and thought it weuld be preferableto postpone the consideration of the measure until the next Session.—The Bill was read the second time, and committed for toot - toe: ow. • The Earl of ft A ItN A avow, pursuant to his notice, rose to call their Lordships attention to the gross prevarications and contradictions of three of the witnesses who were examined on the subject of the Barnstaple Election at their Lordships Bar ; and also to the centratlictions of that evidence which they bad stated before a Select Committee of the other House of Parlia ment. The propriety of their Lordships marking their strong sense of such conduct was too obvious to be &welt upon. He should therefore move a Resolution to that effect, and of their Lordshipe.determinetion to address the Prince Regent upon the occasion. And, founded upon such Resolution, he should move, s. An Address to his Royal Highness the I..ince he g ent, pray ing that he would be pleased to direct the Attorney -General to institute such proceedings against Robert Neale, Saenuel Harris, and Robert Edwards, for the evidence given by them before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, and subsequently at the liar of the House of Lords, on the question for the second reading of the Bill to prevent Bribery and Corruption at Elec tions fur the Borough of Barnstaple, as may be deemed advis able in the case."—'llte Noble Earl having regularly moved these, It was forthwith ordered accordingly. The Earl of CA RNA it VON then, atter noticing the imprac ticability of their effectually proceeding, in what remained of the Session, with any further evidence respecting the measure, Moved—That the further proceedings respecting the Barnstaple El ect i o n Bill be adjourned to that day vreek.—Ordered. . The LORD CHA e:CELI,OIt adverted to the Petition he bad the honour to present yesterday from an individual now int ludia, praying rvlitf, on :meg= of the peculiarly disadvantage: cats circutfistances with - respect to the mode of his proceediug for a Bill of Divorce in their Lordships' I louse, and moved, as the most . dvisable way, that the Petition be referred to a C mittee, to consider of what proceedings it might be proper adopt in such a case, which was ordered accordingly. • Mr. ABllltel4olllelt brought up from the Commons a Bill nth continue in force the present Insolvent Debtors' Act until Outgo menthe after the opening of the next Session of Parliament. The Dill was read the first, and ordered obi read alit-mewl tint! co-morrow.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. •- - - At three o'clock, the Speaker having taken the Chair, the Moue vrassummoned to the IlOtne of Peers to hear the Royal .Aisent given by commission to several Bills, (for which see tit. Leeds.) The House having eeturned,tie Pauper Lunatic Bill was read third time and passed on the motion of Mr. Homer: Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice of his Intention to pro poie nest Monday an Address to the Prince Regent, praying his Royal Highness to order some remuneration to be made to the persons who had colleccdd Information on the subject of Scotch Burghs. The CHANCELLOR of eke EXCHEQUER stated thathe Intended to move the usual S*ional Grants next Monday, in which the object of the Noble Lord would be comprised. Sir J. M ACINTOSH presented Petitions from Inverness and Musselburgh, praying for a Reform in the Constitution of Scotch Ibirghs.—Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. JAM NETT presented a Petition from Captain Drake, Commander of a Transport conveying convicts from Ireland to Botany Bay. The Petition stared, that during the voyage the convicts having made an attempt to seize the ship, had been re incised by the exertions of the Petitioner and his crew. That, notwithstanding, on his arrival., Goternor• Macquarrie had lis tened to the report of the-Petitioner's enemies, and sent him borne to be tried. That on his return to England he had been kept six mouths in prison for want of bail, and that when the trial had come on, the Judge and Jury had been so convinced a his innocence, that a verdict of acquittal was immidiately given in hie favour.' He therefore prayed for such redress as it was in till power of the Mose to afford. Mr. GOULBURN °Waited tintit-bad not remained with I Governor Macquarrie to decide on the guilt.i* innocence of Mr. Drake, but only wliether there wma suffic.lentliegree of e►idence to Rend him tome to take hit trial ? be Petition was then laid on table, and ontliased te be printv4 Mr. lAISH I N OTON presented copies et certain document& which bad been laid before the Conmussitiners of Exclee.--lAM 'en the - table and ordered to be printed. Mr. P. MOORE presented a Petition from anointment, praying for Relief for the distressed Manufacturer.—Ladd en the table be printed. and ordered to . PUBLIC 111tVgNUS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move for an Account of the net produce of the Public Revenue for the years ending on the 3th of July, 1817, 1818, and 1819. He stated a mast gratifying progress had takFn place in the It venue since the first of those years. The total produce of the quarter ending on the sth of July, 1817. exclusive of arrears, had been 1611,060,000; that of the corresponding quarter, in 1818, 614,181,000; an increase of X 1,121,000 oast the preceding yepr; and that of the'same quarter in 1819,719,605.093, being an augmentation of £4211,893 over the pruduce of 1818. and of 61,363,893 over that of 1817. This improvement was not eon 'fired to particular quarters, as the following comparative view of the total amount of the Revenue, exclusive of arrears in each # those years, ending on the sth of July, would spew ; •In 1817 it amounted to - .11143,760,000 In 1818 to - - - - —48,06,560 In 1819 .' • - . lir,0711118; —Sn that, in the present year, there had been ea breeeese of W 2,265,7163 over` the produce o f: 1818, and of £5,111,9133i aWer' that of 1817. Tht- House must keep in mind, that 4nalsgitiat period there had been no imposition of new taxes. 7 , The mnEon having been agreed to, .) Mr. LUSHINGTON presented the said Acentints, *Wals,. were laid upon the table,. and ordered to be printed. CAMELFORD ELECTION. Mr. D. W. HARVEY, on account of the lateness of the Session, and the impossibility of going in 'a satisfactory manner through the important inquiry which had been commenced, should propose a Re soluticn, tending to postpone all further discussion on the subject to the next Session. Should this be agreed to, he should then move that no Writ be is sued for the Borough of Camelford till ten days af ter the meeting cf Parliament, and that the Order of the Day for going into a Committee be discharged. He then moved the following Resolution : 0 That the House having for some time been. engaged in an inquiry into the corrupt practices reported by the Committee appointed to examine the Petitions of certain Electors, to have prevailed in the Borough of Camelford, and finding that the in terval before the end of the Session was not sufficient for com pleting such an inquiry, resolve that the House shall adjourn the said incpiry to an early period after the next meeting of Parliament." Mr. PRIMROSE opposed the postponement of the question, alld wished the Report to be taken into consideration now, the part relative to Mr. Stewart to be expunged, and.orders given to prosocnte the conspirators, with the exception of William Hallett. He concluded by moving as an Amendment," That the Report be now taken into consideration." Mr. TREMAYNE thought all the facts of the conspiracy completely proved. The only question was p whether the House should proceed with the examination now, qr should postpone it to the neat Session ? He was. of opinion that it would be proper to examine James 'Harvey now. - After a sew observations from I.ord Eastworow, Lord NORMANDY, Mr. 11. Gummi, and Lord GAG TLEREAGII, the Antendrnent was negatived, and the oi4rial Motion agreed to. Mr. D. W. HARVEY then moved, a that Mr. Speaker do not issue his warrant for the Borough of Camelford till ten days after the next meeting of Par liament."—Agreed to. The Order of the Day for going into a Committee on the Camelford Election, was then discharged. INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Mr. ABERCROMBIE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to continue tor three months after . the be ginning. of the next Session the present Insolvent Debtors Act. After what he had stated last night, he trusted there would he no objection to his motion, especially as the Bill which he proposed to bring in. would only last till Parliament should have had time to pass a measure calculate to settle in a definitive manner the state of the Laws between De:.itnr and . Creditor. He also proposed, on account of the late period of the Session, that the Bill thould be allowed to pass through all its stages this night. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS opposed the motion, and expressed his wish that the existing Law might die a natural death. Mn Alderman WAITHMAN contended that the . Honourable and Learne.l Gentleman acted on a most erroneous impression. Instead of crowding pri,ons, the absence of all Insolvent Debtors' Acts would cause them to be emptied; for he contended that most of the Debtors had the means of liberating themselves, if they had no hope of being freed by anl Act. He thought it would be very proper to allow six months to elapse without passing any Act, as the House would afterwards he more able to form right judgment, and to enact a proper measure on the subject. He trusted the House would not hesi tate one moment in rejecting . this proposition. Lord CASTLE4EA,GH was persuaded that the feeling of the House was adverse to 'a return to the old Law ; whiCh must nevertheless take place if the Acts which the proposed Bill went to continue were permitted to expire. He trusted it would not be cult in the next Session to frame such a measure might on all hands be considered More unexception 4bre than any which had yet been produced. }Di ;dust therefore support the Honourable and Learned Gentleman's motion. Mr. CALCRAFT conceived that the reason why ,Bills of this importance were rejected by the other Mouse was, that they were sent up to it at a period when there was no time to give them due codidera don. Parliameht must be prorogued on, the•lsth of July, instead of the Ist of August, for no reason that he could see; and the consequence was, that the Le gislature could not have the entire exercise of its functions. In an emergency like the present, rather than return to the principle of the old Law he should support the motion of his Hon. and Learned Friend, but he did it with regret. Mr. G. LA MB thought it would be giving a very strange answer to the Petitions sent from so many parts of the country against the last Act, to revive it without any alteration. He should certainly oppose the motion of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW proposed that the Honour able and Learned Gentleman should be allowed to bring.in his Bill. It might then be read a first and second time, and the committal fized . for to-morrow. He did not see the necessity of hurrying the stages of this measure in the mariner suggested ; neither did he know of any reason why the House should adjourn before Parliament should be prorogued. If the pre sent Act was one of Revenue, would any adjourn menz be proposed? Why then should it be done when the House was kaown to be legislating against the sensedind the Petitions of the People? lie should be sorry to find himself placed in such a situation ; but if Obliged to divide on the question, he should rather vote for a return to the old Law, than fo‘the ooistiouatiOn of a Bill so fatal as that which was at present in operation. Mr. BATIWILST thought the last Speaker had not taken a icorrect view of the question. If the Amendments were taken into consideration, and any material alteration made in them, the Lords would ..... require further tirpe to consider these new Amend rnents, and thus 'ley might continue to alter and alter for an indefinite period. At this period of the, year, when the most important public business had been gone through, it was inconvenient to protract the sittings of the House, as it was not merely Minis ters, but Gentlemen of all parties in the House consi dered themselves discharged from attendance. Lord EBItINGTON rose to oppose the intended and hoped the House, after the numerous Peti tions which had been laid before them, would not subject dye country to a continuatiota of a Law which had been tit stigmatized by that How as the present . Insolvent DebtLrs Act. - . Mr. W. COURTENEX did not thinkffie House ygnad do its duty to the Pen* if it consented to the - renewal of the present In !vent Debtors' Ast, even 'fora limited time. Sir d. MACKISTOSH remarked, a. WortbpAl derMan had made t ig.aUusion to what he had. si on atto r mer occasion of the liberality of the traders of Londen, and argued that if this were not A vain compliment, it would be'imputed to them that they had stiewnfthemselves deficient in feeling in the course they bad taken, with respect to the Insolvent Debtors' Act. He regretted the absence of the ‘Vorthy Alderman' on the preceding evening, when, had he been present; he 'would have been satisfied_ that want of feeling and liberality were the last qua lities he should be disposed to impute to the mer chants of`London. He had thought the Bill which had passed through that House effected, upon the whole, the best compromise that could be made be tween the Creditor and Debtor. Why it was rejected by the other House he knew not. It was said fry the opponents of the present - measure, that it would be disagree.tble to concur in opposition to the numerous Petffioners who had prayed that the Insolvent Debtors' Act should not be renrived. But he would remark, the people did not expect a slavish obedience to the very letter of their Petitions. but a general attention to their spirit ; and in conformity with that spit it they might vote for bringing in the Bill which his Honourable and Learned Friend wishedio introduce, seeing its real object was to give the Legislature a chance of accomplishing that which the Petitioners desired, at the commencement of the next Session of Parliament, by a general and permanent measure.— By coming to such a decision, they would mark their disapprobation of Lord Redesdale's Bill. At the same time they would prove their attachment to the principle of Casio, Theorem; and if this were given up, to return to the old law, it might impose upon them a long struggle to recover that which they had already gamed. H e also thought, that as a hope had been held out by the proceedings of that House to many in confinement, that they might be dis charged in the present year, the faith of Parliament was in a manner pledged to those unfortunate per sons, Knd it would be cruel to doom them to remain in 'prison' till' another Session of Parliament. His Honourable Friend had assumed that the majority of debtors had got into prison for the purpose of cheating their creditors. If this were proved to be the fact, then the argument of the Honourable Gen tleman would be corrcct; but he apprehended no other man in the House relieved this to be the fact. The Honourable Gentleman complained that all cre ditors were indiscriminately accused of cruelty.— This was folly, and as unjuit as to accuse all debtors of fraud. Cruelty on the one hand, and fraud on the other, were extreme eases. He wished for the establishment of a system %which should look less to the person, and more to the property of the debtor. Sir R. WILSON concurred with those who thought a provisional Bill necessary. Alderman WOOD was still of opinion, that the House would be taken by surprise should the Bill pass through all•the stages in the course of one sk iing. He had prepared certain clauses to do away the objectionable parts of the Bill, and hoped to be allovied to move them in the Committee. A person, calling himself an Army sttgent, and residing in Fludyer-streq„ had received £9OO to purchase for a young Gentleman a commission in the Army. After sometime, it was discovered, that the individual was nominally in the Rules of the King's Bench, but was really going about where he pleased, and that no de tainer would be tikes against him. No instances of cruelty on the pan of the Creditors had been proved in thp Committee. Sir J. GBAHAM was strongly against the till, after the Petitions that had been presented from all parts of the Kingdom. ' . • The House divided--,For the motion (that a Bill be' brought in), 80—Against it, 26—Majority, 54. The Bill was then read 'a first and second time, and on the question for the committal, Alderman WAITHMAN complained, that no thing had been done for the Creditor. An individual at that time was living in the Rules of the King's Bench, in a style of Asiatic luxury, and keeping no fewer than six servants. One of this person's credi tors was a widow, whom he had taken in for £9OO, and he had had the effrontery to threaten her that if he were not raised to the Peerage, he would get into the House of Commons and set his creditors at de fiance. This Bill was to enable such persons to con tinue their career. If the administration of the law, 'with respect to Insolvent Debtors, were to continuo in the same hands to which it had of late been con fided, he believed—but he would not pledge himself 'to it—that he should feel it to be his duty to submit a motion to the House for instructing, or rather direct ing, the Attorney-General to prosecute the party. After a few remarks from Mr. G. Lama, Mr. ON SLOW, and Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord CASTLEREAGH observed, that the pre sent Bill gave no sanction to the old Act, and implied no approbation of that measure on the part of the House. It was in fact intended to be got rid of as soon as possible. The House then went into a Committee on the Bill. The House having resumed, the , Report was received, and the Bill ordered to 'be read a tlikd time that day, if engrossed. Mr. WILLIAMS begged to protest against this mode of hurrying business through the Hoare, A Message from the Lords announced their Lord ships' Assent to the Irish Malt Duty, the vate Property, the Militia Pay, (without any Arnr.r,,!. . . ment), and to the Churches Act Amendment B ' (with an Amendment), to which they desired concurrence of that House. On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAOH, the Amead• !milt of the Lords was agreed to. Upon the question that the Bill be read a third time, Alderman WAITIIMAN and Sir J. peated their objection to the BM, which was re 4 d a third time, and passed. SLAVE :TRADE. . Mr. WILBERFORCE rose to move an Add , N,, that the efforts of Ministers should be employe; ; o engage Forevr - Powers *.ho have enacted lawN the Abolition of the Slave Trade, to adopt a effectual application of those laws. He went thret , ., the various Acts adopted by the European Po-(i , to abolish this traffic. We had shewn that we ,A-Lr, in earnest in this great object, by the sacrilice had made ; and now, when we were in. object, Portugal was the only Power wila had fixed a time for the Abolition of this traffic on part. He was afraid, however, that there were p l . sons of all countries engaged in this traffic. C;Jar pily too, there were two great - Powers who had entered into the common convention for the Atui:i • of the Slave Trade, viz. France and America. was grievous to think that a great and high-tnind.d peoplevthenation of Cavaliers once, should nov• I. L . gin to carry on trade of this kind, when the nati(m a; Shopkeepers, as they had called us, had given :t 112, It was true, that the Government of the United SI had recently passed an Act for its abolition, and h.. offered indemnities for the loss of it; yet. he was afra these were States of the.linion still favourable to It was desirable to put an end to this trade, as th were parts of Africa, which began now to feel benefits of freedom and education. He then moved Address to the Regent, acknowledging with gratin the effort's he had made, by which the great Powers Europe had acknowledged the injustice of this trail but humbly requesting him to use his endeavonr prevail upon Fiance, Portugal, and America, to a speedy end to it on their parts, and to enter i: conventional arrangements, to allow the condemn.: tion of vessels engaged in he Slave Trade. • Sir JAM ES MACKINTOSH seconded the no tion. The object needed no recommendation, and if it needed any, none could be more appmpliate 'r more poweiful than his Hononrabk Friend's. It %v.'s impossible to speak of the conduct of FortugPl wit 4 truth and decorum—(hear). When we viewed th.lt Power standing in the solitude of inhumanity infamy—when we viewed it refusing to join wi:h other nations to abolish the most nefarious of traJes, it was impossible to speak of its policy in terms tit to be applied to a nation in alliance with us. - With re spect to the United States he felt great confidence in their determination to put a final end to the trade. It was remarkable that they and we, without any concert, had, within the space of twelve months, de clared the traffic illegal. lie could not but think that it would be remarked by future historians, that two nations of the same race, separated by a civil war, but possessing common blood, language, and liberty, were the first to put an end to the traffic in fellow men. Here he could not help once again alluding to South America, and lamenting that we should have passed any law unfavourable to her rising liberty and glory. He could not help remarking how. much credit re dounded to her, a country abounding in slaveholders, that the act abolishing the trade, was the first act ef her independent existence. It was impossible to b guise that fort St. Louis, on the river Senegal, cc-, tained nothing but.slave-traders. It was certain that the Officers in authority and trust were not an excep tion to this statement. What -countenance they of tained at home he:knew not, bat the reputation of the nation suffered by. allowi4 a tilde disgraceful tote French name. He rejoiced, in common with - all wl , o regarded the best hopes of mankind and the future peace of the world, to see the solid foundations ca which liberty was established in France. The esta blishment of a free Government in that country was the best foundation for the future hopes of mankind, and the best security against the convulsions of futute Revolutions. It was impossible to see, v. ithout heart felt satisfaction and joy, the general tranquillity which followed the evacuation of France by foreign troops, the spirit and order which prevailed in the Le gislative Assemblies, the regard and obedience to the law, and the decorum which appeared in the publications of the press—(Cries of Hear, hear, hear.) He could not view these happy results without ex pressing his hope that all the sacrifices of the Reso lution would soon be .amply repaid ; for repaid they would assuredly be. He was persuaded that the fiee French nation would soon retrieve its character, and could not continue to allow such a blot upon its name: he was persuaded that the French nation would mt suffer its flag-a flag that had been long unknown on those coasts, and had lately re-appeared there— to conceal the foulest and most atrocious traffic that ever stained the annals of a nation ; he was persuade) that the French nation would not suffer their proud flag to protect robbery, and murder, and desolation , and to be the signal around which a banditti (he could give them no other name) should rally, for the atrocious purpose of renewing that state of guilt and misery to which Africa had been so long exposed. Lord CASTLEREAGII would not oppose the Address ; though he could assure the House it was not necessary to spur the Prince Regent, or his Go vernment, on to accomplish the total abolition a this traffic. With respect to Portugal, the perioct had not yet arrived when she had engaged to put rn end to it on her part ; indeed no answer had yet bed) received from her on this subject. He hoped no fl applied national pride would interfere on the part cf France, to prevent the right of search of vessels or. der her flag. As to America, he believod her Gtr vernment sincere in her endeavours at a total algal . tion.—The Address was then agreed to. 11111CILLANZOUS. On the motion of Lord C.ISTLIiREAGH, the House ct its rising was ordered to adjoian till Monday next. Sir J. IsIACKINTOSII presented a petition from ell:A 11. Walker, complaining of injuries done him by the Porn. k i , : . Government. It was not kis intention to move any thing Petition, which was ordered to lie on the table. Sir ,G. HILL brought in a Bill to continue the Intolcent Tbl• tors' Act of Ireland; which was read a first and second u D r. was committed, reported, read a third time, and passed. • Sir IL PARNELL'.
