HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 13. Their Lordships met at ten o'clock, the LORD CHANZP.LLOR on the Woolsack, when the House proceeded to a Committee of Pri vileges on the Roscommon Peetage. At a quarter past ten Counsel were called in. The ATTORNIY-GENEIIAL attended to watch the proceedings on the part of the Crown. 111 r. LvaCif appeared for the claimant Michael Dillon; and Mr. Girroan for the other claimant, Francis Stephen Dillon. lastxcx proceeded with the case of his client ; but previously to the examination of witnesses, Mr. GIFFORD applied to their Lordships for permisdon to cross-examine them, which was granted. Mr. I.vNeo then called a Gentleman, who verified a copy of the trim:nu:lit of the patent of James the first Earl of Roscommon. The Arroaassr-Gxst:RAL objected to this evidence. The ork;inal patent he said ought to have been produced, or at least the origi nal enrolment. Some discussion followed; in the course of which the L 0111) CHANCELLOR observed that the copy delivered in had been used lii re and frequently amended. It appeared to have been three times certified as correct, and as often proved by subsequent Amendments to have been , incorrect. The copy was, however, re ceived de bene Several extracts were then read from the Irish Journals, to prove the succession of the eight first kals of Roseuninton. The Learned Counsel then proposed to make up of the evidence given before the Irish Housr of Lords upon the investigation of the unsuccessful claim of Mr. Robert Dillon in the year 1791. The ATTORNEY-CZNIRAL objected to this evidence, as mishit upon a case between other parties. The LORD CHANCELLOR here remarked, that the Crown had been, of course, a party in the former claim; but that the claimant, Michael Dillon. who now proposed to use th 4 evi dence, appeared to stand as the representative of the former claimant, Robert. _ _ _ Mr. Girvoao then objected, on the part of the claimant Francis Dillon. However, he •aid, the case might stand as betwc.m the claimant Michael, and the Crown, it was clear that the investiga tion of 1791 was, as respected Francis Uillou, res inter alias oda. He was no party to that investigation; he made no claim then, be cause he was well aware of the existence of a claim stronger than his own or than Robert Dillon's--namely, the claim of l'atrick, the late Earl. Were, he said, the evidence now offered to be received, his client would be placed in the condition of having witnesses admit ted against his title, without any power of cross-examining them. The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted the weight of the ob jection; but did not see how the House could reject the testimony of its own minutes. He thought the minutes cridenee : but by nu means conclusive evidence. Mr. LYNCH then read several extracts from the evidence deli vered upon Robert's unsuccessful claims in 1791 and 1792. They went merely to the genealogy of the unsuccessful claimant Robert, through whom Mr. Michael Dillon claims. At twelve o'clock the house adjourned the further hearing of this case till Monday. 'l•he appeal of " Short v. Foreman," from the Court of Chancery in Ireland, was next proceeded with; when Mr. Sinvinenaar was heard in conclusion fur the appellant ; and Mr. BROUGHAM in reply for the respondent.—Judgment is expected on Monday next. Lord EASTNOR s Mr. CAMPULL, Mr. BVNG, and others, brought up the Edinburgh (City and Suburbs) Lighting and Paving Bill, tile Evesham and Hereford Gas Lighting Bills, and some Road Bills, which were afterwards read a first time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved, that the United General Gas Light Company's Bill be now read a second time. The Earl of LAUDERDALE had objections to the present Bill, in common with others of their Lordship>, which, however, he did not wish to offer now, provided the Bill were postponed to Tuesday.—Petitiens were hereupon put in, whose prayer was to be heard against the Bil; before the Committee by Counsel.—lt was agreed at length, that the second reading of the above Bill should stand over to Tuesday next. The Brighton Church Bill was reported without any amend ments to the House. Mr. OSBORN k, Croat the M :agate Pier and Harbour Company pre sented the Accounts of the Pier aud Harbour Cot the yrat Upon the motion of t h e Earl of LIVERPOOL. tin Bid for re newing the act, for another two years, passed throlOt a Committee of the whole House, and was ordered fur the third reading on to-morrow. The Transter of Dividends Bill, and the Glass Duties Bill, passed through Committees, and were then reported witlicut any 4mendment to the House. At Haif after Five o'Clock tl.: House adjourned till to-morrow morning at ten. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Sezaisa took the Clrair at Four o' Clock.

His ob ject in doing so was to detect some pr..ciices which were carded on in those particular places, greatly to the prejudice of the fair dealers in grain, and corn-growers generally. Fictitious sales and re-sales were made, at nominal and deceptive prizes, so as to in fluence the striking of averages on which the Returns were made to Government. Sir T. LEXHBRIDGE seconded the motion, from a thorough conviction that the evil was but too generally felt. He could see no possible objection to. its being granted on the part of his Ma jesty's Government. IIUSKISSON said he felt it would be advkable at least to delay this motion. He was of opinion that no particular end could be obtained by having the Returns of particular individuals effecting sales, or of sales in some places only. Tito motion, to be elite:nal, should embrace all markets where averages are struck. In his oisicial duty, he constantly asked for the bills of parcels to look over, and on inquiry they had been represented to him as just and positive sales during the list six weeks. lie was convinced, however, that there wire sometimes gales not bona fide made, hot colourable and deceptive. What to do on the stab. ject was rather doubtful,' because these ,- alcs had ail the appear ance of a real site, and were 4, ts•Chnic.lly. The dilficultreon sisted in devising means to rt;nudy the abuses which followed.— He had taken the best advice from different quarters. but lie feared it would be difficult, as long as the present system of corn laws . by striking averages continued, and that the ports could only be opened by tlic conformity of the six week,' report ro the letter of the Corn lays, to devise an effectual remedy against the continuance of such practices. These deceptive sales were of great injury to the dealers in grain, front their rendering the state of the markets and prices unsettled. The fair conclusion in his ruled was, that the average wai now the cause of a gi•eat deal of eliMeulty and inconvenience, both to the grower and consumer. He hoped the day was not dm xvllen the whole system would be revised, ;.11.1 he was Jid to fi,ol that thane most interested in the trade, felt ahead with !tint, rliat the Corn laws, like other comnrA - cial hies, should partake of our improved and liberal principles, and the iincrc.surse in corn be free also, subject only to an adequate protecting duty.
