The Lotto CHANCELLOR role to pronounce the judgment in the Appeal Ciufe, M'Michan v. Hut chinfon ; but previous to his motion for reverfing the Interlocutor of the Court of &Ilion, his Lord fhip with great accuracy and precifion took a view of all the fads that constituted the cafe, and Rated the grounds on which the different proceedings that had previoufly taken place before the Sheriff Depute in Scotland, the Lord Ordinary, and the Court of Senior+, were founded, and in conic quence of which an Appeal had been made to their Lordihips. After reafoning upon the whole, fuf ficiently to spew to what (Ned, the arguments heard at the Bar of the Houle had been direeed, and the imprefficn thofe arguments had made on his mind, his Lordfhip moved, That the Interlo cutor of the Court of Seffion be reverfed. The Earl of Rosstvo laid, the cafe had been fo dearly dated, that it was unneceffary for him to go into it ; but he could not help wiffiing, that the Houfe could go a little further than the bare re verfal of the Interlocutor, and add fomething de claratory as to the crop, which it was to be pre. fumed from the fills which formed the queflion, that had arifen, and given rife, to the law pro ceedings that had taken place refpeaing it, had been put into the ground, becaufe the addition to which he alluded might put a flop to further liti gation upon the fubjea. It was, however, clear, that the circumfiance had formed no part of the confederation before the Court of Sefton, and con fequently was not avowedly the ground of appeal. The motion for reverting the Interlocutor was agreed to. The Earl of WA*WICS Paid, when he came down to the Houfe he came determined to move for the appointment of a Committee to enquire into a fubjea of fo much importance, that he thought he thould have betrayed his troll, and failed to difcharge his duty, if he had not brought it forward, but in confequence of a converfauon which he had had the honour to hold with a noble Duke, high in office, fince he came down to the Houle, he fhould forego his purpofe, and beg leave to move to withdraw the notice which he had given the preceding day, when he defired that their Lordffiips might be fummoned for that day. His Lordfhip raid, it was far from his with at any time to interfere with the bufinefs of his Majedy's Mi nillers, and he felt too much refpea and elleem for them individually, and entertained, he hoped, too proper a fenfe of what was due to them, when they dated to him that the Committee he was about to move for would be attended with incon venignce, to per fdi in his intended motion, and the more efpecially after the noble Duke had affured him, that the mode of proceeding which he had defigned to move, viz. that of appointing a Com mittee, was not the mod fpeedy mode of obtaining the objea he had in view. Not doubting, there fore, but that his Majeffy's Miniders would feel the importance of the fubjea he had intended to bring forward, and do their duty refpeaing it, he fhotdd conclude with moving to difcharge the no tice; but &ft he muff fay a very few words by way of apology, and in jollification of himfelf, for hav ing moved to have the Houfe fummoned. He had heard from pelfons of good charaaer and un. queflionable veracity, that the poor had within the lall year increafed to an alarming extent, in con fequence of which the workboufes in different parts of the kingdom were crowded with poor in a moll inconvenient manner, that might lead to mifchievous confequences, if Tome meafures were not taken in due time to avert them. In a parifh near where he lived himfelf, his Lordthip Paid, he had received information to be depended on, that the poor in that parifh only had increafed to the amount of r7oo more than left year, and that these were greater numbers flowed in the 'work houfe, than it could with any fort of convenience contain. From that fad it might fairly be' con cluded, that other pariffies were in a fimilar fitua tion ; it was therefore well worth the notice and attention of his Majedy's Minikers. The notice was difcharged. Nine Bills were brought up from the Commons, and prefented by Sir William Dundas, Mr. Fane, Mr. Bailey, and others, and read a fird time each. Lord Touatow attended the delivery of the judgment on the Scotch Appeal by the Lord Chancellor.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir W. CRARY brought up a Report of the Com mittee appointed to confider of building a new Gaol in the county of Kent, upon the fecond read ing of which Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL oppofed the further progrefs of this bilkers in Parliament, for the pur pole, he Paid, of affording to the Magiftrates of the two divifions of the county an opportunity of ' meeting and coming to a fettlement of it, and moved that it be poßponeci to this day fix months. Sir W. Gutty anfwered the objeCtions of his Honourable Colleague, and fupported the meafure. The Houle divided—For proceeding now 33 — For poßponing to this day fix months 13—Majo rity SO. Mr. Lustrilicrox role, in purfuance ofiris no tice, to call the attention of the Houle fhortly to the Office of Public Notaries : He Paid, that at pre fent that bufinefs required Come regulation, and there were tome parties interefted and anxious to have a Bill palled in Parliament on that fubjetl. What he chiefly referred to was the qualification of a perfon who fhould be permitted to ad as a Pub lic Notary ; that qualification he fhotild propofe to be that of having ferved a regular Clerisfhip to a Lieenced Notary. This was a meafnre intended to have been brought forward laft year, and upon that idea a duty was impefed upon the licence of a Public Notary, but the provifion intended to have been made for the regulation of the adiniffion, and for defining the qualification, had hitherto been emitted, and his objeß was now only to fupply that °minion. He therefore moved, 44 that leave be given to bring in a Bill for the better regula tion of Public Notaries praaifing in EoglarW." 14r. Coaar fuggefle.l, that as the proviAgns of the BM might be thought beneficial to other parts of the. United Kingdom, it would be better to leave the title open and to Make it general; to which Mr. Lufbington affented, and the motion was then put thus : “ That leave be given to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of Public Notarieb."— Granted. The CHANCELLOR of the E'en scums moved, that the Order of the Day for the Houfe to refolve itfelf into a Committee of the whole Haute, to con fider of certain exemptions from duties on Mem bers ferving in Parliament for Ireland,be now read ; which being done, the Houfe refolved itfelf into a Committee of the whole Houle to confider of this fubjed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE(tpER Paid, that as the grounds of the motion he was about to fub mit to the confideration of the Committee, had been already Rated to the Houfe, he did not think it necairy to trouble the Committee further than to make a motion. He therefore moved, « that the Chairman be direeted to move the Houfe, that leave be given to bring in a Bill to exempt, for a time to be limited, from the payment of certain duties, fuch Members of both Houfes of Parlia ment ferving for Ireland, as have only an occa fional refidence in Great Britain, and to permit the removal, in certain cafes, of the effees of fuch per fons from Ireland to England, without payment of duty."-..—Agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the Exentopra then gave notice, that he fhould to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill to remove doubts on the eligibi lity of perfons in Holy Orders fitting as Members in the Commons Houfe of Parliament. Mr. W. DUNDAS brought up the Report of the Scots Militia Bill, the amendments were read and agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be engroffed, and to b e read a third time to-morrow, if than en grofed. Several Aets of Parliament on the affairs of Ire- 1 land, were entered as read, and referred to Com mittees of the whole Houfe to-morrow, to be con-1 fidered of, on the motion of Mr. Corry. The fecond reading of the Coal Bill was pottpon ed to litrefday next, on the motion of Mr. Manning. The Report of the Elephant Oil Bill was receiv ed, read, agreed to, the Bill ordered to be engroffed, and read a third time to-morrow, if then engroffed, on the motion of Mr. Vanfittart. The Ira Hop Importation Bill, the Ira Sugar Diftillery Bill, and the Bill for prohibiting the Ex. potation of Corn, Potatoes, and other articles of Provifion, and permitting their Importation into Ireland, were read a third time and paired, on the motion of Mr, Corry. Mr. VANSITTART moved the fecond reading of the Bill for making allowance to Subaltern Oacers of Militia in time of peace. Colonel Ecroan Paid that it was his intention to propore a claufe in the Militia Autants 801, to provide for the Surgeons of the Militia in time of peace, but underftanding that it would erpharrafs the estimate upon which the Bill was founded, and hoping the bufinefs would be taken up by force perfon of more influence and knowledge of the Mi litia concerns than hirnfelf, he declined it for the prefent ; but Rated his intention, if no propofal of that nature thould, according to his expedbitions, be brought forward within this Seflion, he Mould take the liberty of fubmitting to the Route a pro potation galculated to do juftice to that deferving clafs of men. Bill read a Woad time and ordered to be com mitted to a Committee otthe whole Houfe to-mor- row, as was alfo the Militia Adjutants Allowance Bill. The Houle agreed to go into a Committee of the whole Houk to-morrow, to confider of the AR which now regulates Bounties and Drawbacks on the exportation of Sugars, &c.—Adjourned.

Mr. Fox role to return his thanks to the meet. ing. He faid, that the laft time he had the plea . fure of feting them, two months ago, he bad ; informed them that in the peculiar carcumftances of the country, accompanied by a change of ; Miniftry, a hope might, perhaps, be entertained that a change of fentirnent might take place in the Houfe of Commons, and that it was his inters. tion to try, by the event of a difcuillon on the (late of the nation, whether fuch a change had actually taken place ? He doubted whether his attendance on that dircuillon would be ufeful, but had come to the refolution of making the experiment. The refult of it had confirmed him in the views he had previoully entertained. Neverthelefs, whenever he faw the leaf[ chance of his attendance and exer tions in Parliament being likely to produce any ad vantage to the public, he was ready, however at.• tachedto retirement, to come forward and to contri bute every exertion of which he was capable to the public fervice: Men certainly were apt to deceive themfelves in finding apologies for the comic to which, from choice and habit, they had become at tached; but lure he was, that he was not confcions of deceiving either himfelf or them, when he gave it as his decided opinion, that his general attendance in Parliament could not be attended with advantage to the public, or to thofe principles which it was the objeet of the Club t• promote. Experience had already (hewn that no change had taken place ha the Houfe of Commons, notwithilanding the change in Adminiftration. About a century ago an ez preffion had been ufed, in which experience had (hewn there was fome truth, though it was thought very ridiculous—a Monarch faid he would fend his Jack-boot to the Senate and it would be obeyed. We may come to the fituation in which the King may not only rule by his Jack-'boor, but we may be governed by a Jack-boot's Jack-boot.
