This estate and agreement are the subject in question. Lady Bath died in 1808, leaving no issue, and in her will she recited the marriage articles, hut made 'no appoint ment of the said copyhold premises. -After her death, the respondent, the Earl of Dar Huston, took possession of the above estate, as heir at law, and the appellant clairrel a right to it under the limitation of the marriage articles; he filed a bill in Chakery in 1810, and in 1817 it was finally heard before the Master of the Rolls, wllO decreed that the appellant's bill should be di,missed; from this decree an appeal was made tts the house of Lords. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 4. THE 3TAFfORD PEERACM The Committee of Privileges took this Peerage Erst, and were some time employed in the examination of witnesses respecting the entries in the parish register, touching the marriage of the sup posed progenitors of the claimant, MT-artily. The Rev. William Faulkener, Reeler of St. Andrew's, Wor cester, produced his register, bearing the date 1636. It appeared that be had formerly lent this register to a Gentleman, who was making some inquiries respecting the Peerage, in order to erandne it.. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was very improper to allow the register out of his possession. The Earl of LAUDERDALE —DA yon know the Gentle man ?—No, I did rot. Was he recommended to you by any person ?—No, he was not. And did you kome his residence or his name?—No, I did rot; he was a stranger to me, and said that he lived ar the inn. The ArroliNer-GERKRAL.—it is a great wonder that the register ever tame back at all. Resolved unanimously—That the Thanks of this Common Hall e given to Anthony Brown, Esq. Alderman and Fishmonger ; and John Key, Esq. Alderman and Stationer. Sheriffs of this City, for the impartiality displayed by them during the late Election for Sheriff's, and the urbanity evinced by then' towards their Fellow Citizens on the occasion. WOODTIMPE. ISLE OF WIGHT. THE REGATTA being fixed for the 4th a•'d .sth of AUGUSTensuing, the PRIZES given this Yam . by the ROYAL YACHT CLUIi to the Winning Ves.iels, will be NOBLE3IEN AND GENTLNMEN Are teltiectfully informed, that The LOAD CHANCELLOR, aftet going through the circumstances as here detailed, said that the principal question was, whether Sir Richard Sutton came under the consideration of the marriage settlement, and thereby was entitled to an equitable estate, and had'a right to call on the heir-at-law to divest himself of a legal estate, or whether the settlement was such as it had been contended, that other persons had contracted for Sir Richard, and that he could call on these con tractors—to wit, the trustees to the marriage-settle n►ent—to carry the trusts into execution, and have the estate conveyed to him ? He (the Lord Chancellor) confessed that he never met a case that involved more difficulty. It was argued, on the part of the respond ents, that the appellant was a stranger to the articles, and cot entitled, in consideration of blood or other wise, to call on a Court of Equity to have these articles performed to his benefit. This was going to say that it was not the intention of Lady Bath that the estate should go as expressed in the settlement. There could be no doubt, that when the settlement was made, Lady Bath did n ,t contemplate dying without issue ; but the question entirely hinged on this—whether any persons had contracted on behalf of Sir Richard? The affirmative was not obvious: he should therefore move, that the decree be affirmed, not so much from a con viction of its rectitude as from the doubts he enter tained of the equity of coming to an opposite con clusion.—The decree was accordingly affirmed. ELEGANT DRESS COATS, Frock Coats, rox Coats, Opera Cloaks, &c. are cut upon scientific principles, and made to fit the shape in a very superior manner; Dress Coats, from the best Saxon Cloth, £3 3i. to ./23 12s. fashionable Trow sera, from 17s. ditto Waistcoats, from 7s.

Th.lse wanting large quantities, for ship. wents tx other purposes, will find the greatest advaut3v and most liberal treatment. Their Lordships observed that it was very unsafe to allow the register out of the custody of the Rector. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the register must re main with the House till compared with the authenticated copy of the Bishop. There was some alteration or interlineation in the register. Another register was produced, which also exhibited strong mat ks of posterior moomfacturv, and the Lotto Cria.ucxt.t.oft said that it'inust be carefully preserved, till some inquiry were made to trace out the particulars, and the party concerned in the transaction, in order that the House might adopt some summary ropers; to prevent the recurrence of such practices in future. The will of the Earl of Stafford was read.—After devising seve ral things to the best of women, the following item excited a laugh:—" To the twos of women ••• I give and devise 45 brass halfpence, to buy her a llet for supper," &c. The LORD CHANeRLLOR-1 suppose be made that to her as a setoff to the best of women—(Laughter). After some other witnesses were examined, The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that there was a singular cireurnitance connected with the Petition of Sir George Jerning ham, which was presented under the supposition that the attainder was no bar to the title. Ills Majesty referred the question of at tainder and pedigree to the house. Perhaps it was not known that the attainder had• been reversed. The pedigree was proved, and application made to him to issue a writ, and were it not for the question of attainder and pedigree, he would have issued the writ. It was merely from the circumstance of the Crown referring the question of attainder that the Stafford Peerage was not restored in the person of Sir George Jerningbam two years ago. The Earl of CLARENDON eulogised the great care which the Lord Chancellor had always paid to questions affecting the dignity of the Peerage.

THERE is not, rerhaps, in the whole Materi4 din, any one remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffering Patient as the AMERICAN SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures Into which a lovely infant is often convulsed during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings? and who would hesitate to procure a remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are dai/y goosing to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON? Therefore, Mothers ought never to be without the American Soothing Syrup in the Nursery ; for if a child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the Gums with a few drops of the Syrup, it will imme diately open the pores, heal the gums, and thereby prevent fevers and convulsions; for should it come in competition with any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.

The Earl of HARROWBY presented a Copy of the Report of the Committee appointed to inquire into the state of Ireland. Earl DARNLEY opposed the reception of the. Re port. He was awa.e, he said, that 'it contained many valuable suggestions ; but he could not omit taking that opportunity of stating his firm conviction that - te. permanent tranquillity of Ireland would never be esta. blished until Catholic Emancipation wai fully granted. He regretted the tone of hostility to the Catholic Claims awumed by the Noble Earl at the head of his Alajesty's Government, when this question was last debated. Notwithstanding the silence of the Report, be felt no hesitation in saying that the evidence upon which that Report professed to be founded, was most clear unarirnocs, and satisfactory, as to the necessity of granting Catholic Emancipation. Without the removal of civil disabilities from the bulk of the peo ple of that country, it was in vain to hope fur success its any attempt to tranquillize or improve Ireland. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said he was desirous to avoid giving rife to any discussion upon this stib:;ec!. He wculd merely observe, in answer to the Noble L rd's allusion to the tone in which he had treated the Catholic. Question, that it was not different from the language lie usually held upon that subject. As to the Report of the Committee containing no recommendation on the subject of Citholic Emancipation, it would only have been extraordinary if it had. It was neither competent to a Committee to make rectum. mendations to the House upon the great question itself, nor upon the minor topic—the Elective Franchise. AU the Committee could do they bad done, in furnishing ,them the great mass of evi dence they had taken. The Report, he understood, so far as it went, had met with very general satisfaction. Earl DA RN LEY explained. Viscount DUDLEY and WARD presented a Nation from the Tradesmen of Birmingham, and several from places in the vi cinity, against the Combination Laws Amendment f3ill--Laid on the table. The Marquis of L ANSDOWN presented a Petition from the Landowners of Axminster, in the county of Devon, in favour of the Western Ship Canal.—Laid on the table. Earl GROSVENOR was understood to state, that be bad been made to say, some days ago, whilst speaking of 41avery, that he had no hopes it would be abolished as long as the Slave Trade existed; whereas he had said, that he had no hopes the Stare Trade would terminate till Slavery should be abolished. COMBINATION LAWS. On the Order of the Day for going into a Committee oft theCom hination Laws Amendment ISM. . Tne Marquis of LANSDOWN stated that he had several Petitions to present against that Bill. He com plained that with n two days of the close of the &stints, their Lordships should b_ called upon to pass a law which ought to have undergone the deepest considera tion, and to do it too, before the necessary information hai been laid upon their table. Yet even at this late • pe.iud, without time for deep consideration, and with a total incapacity for obtaning information, he could not help admitting that some measure of she kind pro posed was highly necessary. The individuals whose Petitions he held asked to be heard at the bar against the Bill, and it certainly would be CI; ir Lnidships' wish 'o do them that justice. At another part of the Session he should have thought it his duty to press a motion to that t ffect to a division, supposing it possible for their Lordships to hesitate; but feeling that at present it would be destructive of the Bill, he should abstain, but only on that ground, lions making any proposal on the . subject. The Noble tlarquis then presented a Petition from the Delegates of the Trades of London and Westminster, praying to be heard by Counsel against the BilL The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that it might be as convenient to give on the presenting of this Petition the explanation which he had intended to make in the Committee. He should first acknowledge that he ought to be ashamed of himself, for the necessity for the pre.. sent measure arose from a Bill passed at the clo.se of the last Serion, of whit h, at the time, he freely confes sed he was wholly ignorant. Had he been aware of its existence and of its provisions he could never have given it his consent, and he thought that with a few words, he should also have satisfied their Lordships. that they ought not to sanction it by theirs. A Com. witted appointed by the other House last year had re commended the repeal of some obsolete and injurious statutes, and had the Bill been confined to that, it would have been useful, but by one sweeping clause it had repealed the whole of the Common LAW on the subject of combinations. The attention, of Ministers and Parliament had been called to the measure, by the cry which rose from every part of the country , an d the grievance was so great that it was impossible to allow • . .

THE OA RDNER PEERAGE. Examination resumed-- Dr. James BlundelL—l have had con siderable practice in parturition and protracted pregnancy. One Lady bad become pregnant on the night of the 9th of November, and was not delivered till the 23d of August fonowir. i g. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, they must have the hus band to prove that—(laughter). The Doctor then stated other —she is now dead. respecting the Lady The Doctor then said, that in his judgment the usual period of gestation may be protracted by several causes. He founded this judgment on bis own observations, and the actual experience of Tercier, in France. Some ohierv.itions were made by the ArronantY-Giwzaat. as to opinions fous;(!,:d on the ohst,rvitions of utlivrA. The LORD CHANCF.T LOU said, :h .t his judgment could only be founded on the opi;::,lni of uthurs. S,:ppace he were to found an opinion on the law of Scotland,it could only be by asking the nature of that law from Scotch Lawyers, which was merely an opinion. Dr. Power—l am a Physician-Acconcheur in London and West minster. I have personally attended 1500 cases, and superin tended as many more. lam of opinion that the period of gesta tion may be extended beyond nine calendar months: I hardly know how to limit the period, but I think it has been extended to eleven calendar mouths, and longer. I have known several cases where it has gone to eleven months; and the result of my own experience, built upon natural observation and the accounts of wo men, is, that gestation may be prolonged to that period. Dr. Gitonvir-La was then called, with two of the Ladies men-' tioned in his 9,000 cases of pregnant women. Some discussion took place as to the propriety and delicacy of examining the women, and how far the declarations of the medical men might be received as evidence. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that there was no other way of judging, but by the accounts of the women themselves, nor could medical men found their opinions otherwise. Suppose, in a case of 9,000 pregnant women, a medical man should say that 8,998 had gone nine months, and the other two bad gone, one ten months, and the other twelve months. What proof had they that the 8,999 had not gone more than nine months. but the evidence of the wo men. as communicated to the Doctor? The first woman was then called in.—She said that she Was then pregnant, and had expected to be delivered two mouths ago, so that she was now eleven months in that state. She was eight months gone the 7th of April. She had three children.—The further con sideration was adjourned. Mr. Tortures, from the Treasury presented a Copy of the Trea sury Minute for registering the 0/ice of the Clerk of the Pelts. O'NEIL V. FITZGERALD. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that this was an appeal from summary proceedings adopted by tl,e Court of Exchequer in Ireland, against the Accountant. General of that Court. It appeared that some money had been wrongly transferred from one suit to another, and the Court had decreed that the Accountant• G eneral was answerable for the amount. He doubted very much that the House could inter fere in chic case. If the Court of Exchequer had jurisdiction to proceed in that summary way Against me of ,heir own officers, he thought the House could not interfere, but still he ,thought that the Court ha,d not jurisdiction. He there ' fore thought it better to let it stand over till next Session, giving O'Neil liberty to request the Court of Ex chequer to reverse that order; or if not, to chew that it had jurisdiction. Lord REDESDALE said, that it was quite impossible their Lordships could have jurisdiction iu this ewe, there being no record before them. The question was, if an officer had exercised his duties so irregularly as tt. make himself responsibte to suitors, and so relieve the Bank of Ireland from the responsibility ? It was a fit subject for a distinct action, it being a que..tion of pro perty. If tried in a regular manner, it might then come by way of an appeal before their Lordships ; but as it was, he thought they could take no more notice of it than if the Court of Exchequer had proceeded against one of its officers for contempt. Under these circumstances he thought the proper manner to treat it would be as the Lord Chancellor proposed.—lt was accordingly agreed to. BUTTON V. DARLINGTON. The circumstances of thi s c ase , Which has b en 15 i years n Chancery, are as follow;—Lady Puhenry died in 1773, devising certan estates to her husband, Sir William Pulteney, and her daughter (afterwards Countess of Bull), for Lk, with remainder to the issue of either of them ; but in default of such issue, to the use of Sir Richard Sutton and his heirs for ever. The Countess of B.tth subsequently married Sir .14mes Murray, and is the marriage-settlement she agreed " that a copyhold estate holden of the manor of Stoke (Newington, in the county of Middlesex (which estate
