GATE severally opposed the motion ; and 'aftera few words from - Mr. BARING and Sir C. Cues, the House divided, when the nnmbers were For Mr. etenrcies motion - . - Against it - Majority - 1-411 TITS COIN OF THB REALM. Sir J. WROTTESLEY said, in rising to peopeae a motion which he was about to introduce to the House, suggesting an alteration in the coin of the realm, he should be obliged to trespass on their time in order that he might be understood. Every person knew that the law as it now stood respecting the !coin, required an. Address to his Majesty before an alteration could be effected. He should not propose any alteration in the Gold or the silver coin. The scheme which he should propose was the one adopted in France and in America. The system was well known on the Continent, and was highly approved.. His operation cf it would be carried on by simple arithmetic ; it would not require what was called compound or conaplee arithmetic to carry it into'effect. He thought he should not be accused of bringing forward an imprudent plan, seeing how long the operation of it had been known and acted upon.— The first four rules of arithmetic—addition, subtrac tion, multiplication,, and, division—were all that would . be requisite for the operation of his scheme. The pee , sent table of denomination.of the coin of the realm con sisted of - pounds, shillings, pence, and farthings. His plan would • reduce_ the table to three—viz. pounds, double shelings, and farthi;gs. The double shilling would be the tenth part of a pound, and a hundred farthings would be equal to a double shilline, and • a thousand farthings to a pound. The llonouceble Ba ronet explained the manner in which calculations would be carried on by his syi:ent. - He then proceeded to compare the difference in value between the coin which he *suggested and that which at present' exist:. He should first propose that some- double shillingS might he coined, and the half crowns should be called in -to orevent a coin heing in circulation something near in size to the double shilling. The Honourable Member, after explaining the relative value of the proposed coins towards each other, proceeded to suggest a mode of carrying the plan into effect s+ ithout inconvenience to the community. In order to render it effectual, he teought that the first - day of January might be adopted to commence the legality of the payment of the coin. Ail tradesmen's accounts should be made to the end of the year in the old mode, but the accounts commencing with the new year should be made up in the new mode; and, unlese these orders were complied with, he should propose that no tradesman could recover the amount of his debt. This would.undeuhtedly lead tradesmen im mediately, to adopt the_measure. 11e (Sir John Wrot tesky) would also suggest, that the bills of exchange should be drawn up agreeably to his plan. The new coinage also might be put in circulation at the begin ning of January: Doubtless, as it was a considerable change in the circulating medium, it would require ! great consideration before the plan was adopted : but the advantages which would arise from its adoption he was-satisfied would be considerable. He then proposed, that an 'humble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that he would be graciouily pleased to direct that an inquiry should be made how far the coin of the realm could be adapted to decimal calculation.---;Qte the motion being put from the Chair, . Mr. WALLACE rose.—lle said he thought.that the Honourable Baronet had not shewn any, satisfactory .grounds that the old system was imperfect, pee that his plan was any more beneficial, than the one in existence. The course which he had taken iu bringing the subject under the consideration of the House was perfectly cor rect; be had also stated, that this was not the first time it had come before the House. The subject had cer tainly been discussed once before, but it had not been brought forward with a view to the particular point in troduced by the Honourable Baronet. Many opinions were given on that occasion, and as far as he (Mr. Wal lace) remembered, those opinions were hostile to the system. With respect .to the adoption of the pled in Fraace, it was no reguletionfor this country. When it %sea 'adopted in that camel y, property had been in a chaotic confusiorrin consequence of the Revolution. A new system of things was springing up, and it wps ne cessary to adopt some measures for the Saki Of the country. But as there was no necessity for changing the old system in this tountrr, there vie - a:no teeaoh for receiving the scheme proposed, The elate'might be a good one—it might be the best ever -devisee-and yet strong reasons for rejecting it might be adduced. Va rious plans for the olteration of the coiti had been sug gested by many individuals ; who had *paid much Mien-, tion to the subject. ;The Elonhitrahle Baronet's scheme was to r educe the coin to three kinds=-pounds, Shillings, and farthings. if so, he begged to know how he would state the sum of 11. 3s. ea. It ssoold be it. one of his double shillings, 69 farthings, and he knew not how many thousand decimal Faits of a farthin e p.,-,(ltlitugh). This plan could not succeed; for the-Honourable Ba ronet would be driven to coin half farthings, and if so, the:: lie would agairicome to four distinct Coin. There eels a very convenient cleseripticm -of thirteen fir culation—the &Reale sovereign. sovereign, haff:soee reien, crown, halfecrown, shilling, sixpencei'.penuy, half=penny, and farthing. The people's habits, were adapted to them, and t hey und e r s tood all the relative calculations of each requisite for the purposes of life. 'Clio Honeurab!e Baronet said he would neither alter gold nor silver, but lie proposed to put away that coin, copper, which was most current among the ..people.— Let it be remembered, that no alteration in 'any other description of coin would affect the people like this. He ph. Wallace) then Friinted Out 'the which 'would arise by receiving the plan prop sled. It wouletlie reetallected.thaft much dissatisfaction wateadd to exist When the style was altered, in consequence of its breaking in upon the habits of the people.

The Noble and Learned Lord moved their Lordships ih the appeal of " D:kvid Hugh tr. the Gwynnes and Anna Maria Felix; " when the decision of the Couit of Great Session s i n \V a l es was affirmed, with £lOO costs. " Wemys and March n. Alexander," front the Court of Session in Scotland, was also affirmed. The appeal of " Greenhill n. Aitkin," from the Court of Session, was heard in part, when the continuation was adjourned to Friday. Mr. SPle/ilt, from Chelsea Hospital, presented at the Bar the annual Account of Unclaimed Army Prize-Money. Upon the motion of the Earl of SHATTILSHI;HY, the New Mar riage Act Amendment Rill was read a second time, and • then or dered to be committed for to-morrow. The Earl of G ItOSVENOIt said, that befote their Lordships came to an adjournment, he wished to trouhl.: them with a very few words respecting a subject he had mentioned on a former night, mere especially as he now saw a Noble Friend, who had since adverted to that stsbject, in his place. Ile wished here to refer to the subject of the 'Game Laws. It had been suggested that an earlf day should be fixed for appointing a Committee to examine this important subject, who also should receive evidence on oath ; 'hitt it was perfectly known to their Lordships that the Report of the Selnet Committee of the other Muse of Parliament Was upon the table of this House, and its contents were-of tkemselves quite sufficient to enable their Lordships, should they think it proper, to go into a Committee cm the Bill still before the other Ilous:". If ,evidence were, however. yet wanted, it might be procured in all the marketsfrom Dorchester to the land's End. Temptations to poaching would, he was confident, be diminished by selling game at fair prices in the markets. He was equally as certain that the pro portion of supply would not be lessened by it. The Vert of DA ItN LEY could not quite rgree with his Noble Friend, excepting as to legalising the sale of game. He could not see the propriety of taking for granted the evidence laid before their Lordships, on the authority of the other liouw, at second hand, when they could examine the witne sas on oath. Such a compro mise was not suited to the dignity of this House, where it was more fitting to take evidence on oath; and, therefore, he whhed hit Noble Friend to consider well how far it might be expedient to adopt a different course. He was desirous to examine the evidence in a Committee as soon as possible, arid so to be prepared for the I Rill whenever Is came up tolheir ndships..--AdjOurnetl. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Lord LOWTHER presented a Petition from Wetherby, pray ing for a Repeal of the buty upon Shepherds' Dogs. Mr. KLLICE supported the prayer of the Petitier., wh'.;_it was ordered to br printed. Lord LOW T ER presented a Petition from Altringham, against the Duty on Coals. 'file ATTORNEY:GENERAL presented a slmilar Petition front Ashburton.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. MABERLY moved for certain copies of papers relating to the Land Tax redeemed from the sth of Jatuary, 1823, to the sth of January, 1824; also for papers exonerating *hall livin&s from the payment of Land Tax.—Ordered. Thessante Honourable Member also moved for an Account of the Three per Cents transferred on account of the redemption of the Land Tax, together with the whole charge.—Ordered. Lord II INN I NG presented a Petition frem the Distillers of Scotland, praying that the Duties on Scotch and Irish Spirits might be equalised. Hir Lordship said that the Petitioners prayed that the same privtlege *filch had been granted to Irish distillers might be ex. tended to them. The like. al system of intercourse adopted last year between Ireland and England they hoped would be a ff orded them. Mr. KENNEDY thought that unless an equalisation of duties took place, a system of smuggling would be carried OA between England and Scotland ; and hi trusted that the Right Hon. Gentle man (the Chancellot of the Exchequer) would equalise the duties.— The petition was ordered to lie on tile table, and to be printed. Mr. S. WORTLEY presented Petitions from the Licensed Vic tuaUerxof Wetherby and its neighbourhood, praying a Repeal of the Duty on Excise Licenses.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. DENNISON presented a like Petition from tlr! Licensed Victuallers of Newcastle.under.Lyme. Ordered to Ile ou the table. sT. CATHERINR'S DtiCK. • Mr. BYNG said he held in his hand a Petition from the principal Leaseholders and Inhabitants of the Parish of St. Catherine, in the neighbourhood of the Towet. The Petitioners understanding that it•was the intention of au Honourable Member (alr.Grenfeli) on t'iat even ing to:move for leave to renew a notice which had been previously given for leave to bring in a Bill to construct . certain' Nesa raatirs in the Parish' of St. Catherine, the . consequenceti Which would be the destruction of their property by the pulling down of at least eight hundred houses, had instructed him (Mr. Bang) to present this Petition. They complained,in thin first instance of the great hardship that' the proposed' measure would im ' pose upon - ahem, and they nett called the attention of the House.to the violation of one of their own Standing Orders, which would take place if the Honourable Member was allowed to renew his notice, the proper time for taking it into consideration having expired.— The Petition having been read, Mr. GRENFELL rose and said, that notwithstanding the observations of the Honourable- Member for Mid dlesex, he certainly should persevere in his Motion. The regulation with respect to the Standing'Order of the, House did not, he conceived, apply to the present case, which was one of great importance, and involving great public interests. The House had l.ften, upon occa sions of minor importance, dispensed with their Stand ing Orders; and it there was any occasion upon which such a departure from the general rule was necessary, it was the present. If the motion for a renewal of no tice were not allowed, a work of great. public utility would be put off for twelve months. The Honourable Member concluded by moving for leave for ceitain in dividualt to give notice in the usual way of their inten tion to petition for leave to bring in a Bill for the con struction of new Docks in the neighbourhood of the Tower, the time for giving such notice having expired. Mr:CALVERT was of opinion, that in a case like this; which involved so many interests, and in which the property of so many individuals was concerned, the Standing Order ought to be complied with. The pro posed measure affected not only those individuals whose Petition had been presented by his Honourable Friend (Mt. 13yng) but many others, whose property lay in the neighbourhood. He was sure that if the Hon. Member (Mr. Greofeil) persisted in his motion, he (Mr. Calvert) should have to present several petitions, on the subject. Mi. Alderman THOMPSON supported the tnorion. The work objected was One . - of great national bedefit, , and he did not thinlettie inconvenience 'likely to be ex perienced by the opponents-cif the measure was to be put in.competition with the advantage to be %lei ised. Mr. BittGo . r • strongly opposed the motion.: The Standing Orderitit the House Wettatot, •in his opinion, ' to be lightly vfoiated:' The 'people Idoked to theth for protection, sind it.vras only upon:occasions of import ance duettist febsbt to be,inkinged. .
