Connie' and Evidence were heard at fume length, from whole ftatement and depolitiors it appeared, that Mr. Taylor, of Totneii, in De. vonfliire, was married to Mils C. 11. Elken, of Sloane ftreet, Knightlbridge; in May 1792, from which period untit her being deteaed in a criminal intercourfe with the Rev. William Ilbert Bird. wood,•nf Totnefs, they lived happiiy together, and in every refpeft as an affedionate couple fhould do. it appeared that " Petitioner's family and that of Mr. Birdwood, w.,0 was the fin of Dr. Birdwood, lived on terms of intimacy and friendly intercourfe. Mr. Taylor being t pro feffional man, and neceffarilv often ahfent from home, gave the Rev e rend 'Gentleman frequent opportunities of pradlifing ;Faint} his friend's peace and honour, and by the evidence of Mr. Taylor's gardener, and his affifiant, it appeared, that the parties, Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Birdwood, were feen in Inch fituations, and under inch circiim fiances, particularly in the months of November, 1798, and of June and Nov. t 799, as feemed to leave little doubt of an adulterous intercourfe having taken place between them. Added to this,' a young woman who had lived fereral years as (errant in Mr. Taylor's family, Rated, that on the affair being detedted, Mrs. Taylor expreffed the greateft regret and concern for her mifeon ' dud, and acknowledged to her, that the had carnal knowledge of Mr. Birdwod. On a queftion from the Marquis of Buckingham, it appeared that Mr. Birdwood is a tingle man, about twentrfeven years of age, Rill in Orders, and the fon of the Gentleman abnee.mentioned. In confequence of the above being manifetted, the Petitioner, in Hilary Term saw, brought an *aim in the Court of King's Bench, n . v,ainit the Rev. Mr. Birdwood , and obtained judgment for 5001 Damages, and Coils. The ufual proceed lap again& the Lady were then inilituted in the Eeclefiafical Courts, where a fentence of Divorce a' male d dors was pronounced. Thefe fads and eircumitalees, together with the form of (crying the Notice on Mrs. Taylor, and the folenmization of the Marriage of the parties being•certified, the Counfel, &c. were ordered to retire. _ The Bill was then, without oppofition, read a fecond tinie, and the qucltion being put for com mitting it, The Marquis of .Buceisonal4 came forward, and ohferved, left there thould be any imputation of a with on his part tcrtake the I ionic by forprik, he then declared, that in the. Committee on the prefent Bill, as it was his intention to do on every future occafion of the kind wherever he had an opportunity, to propofe the introduction of a CLtufe,• founded on the principle of a Leginative regulation, which had on a former ocraiion the concurrence of their Lorilthips, but which v:a. lot} in the other Houle of Parliament, viz. to pro hibit the.parties between whom L!le adii:tcroil% in. tercourfe 'sifted from intermarrying with enc.% other during the life-time' of the both:nal. The Noble Marquis then read the Clank he intended to propofe in the Committee, which ran pre( Wel,. to theeffeet above slated. The Earl of Witsrmosill'in oblerved, that what the Noble Marquis had hated was a confide rvion of much importance, as involving a prin. ' ciple upon which great difference of opinion ex ' tiled in that Houfe. He hoped that tome interval would be allowed previous to the c“mnilnal of the Bill, that Noble Lords might hare r.rnice, as, if an early day was fixed, it would, in etleft, be taking the Houle by furprife. The. Marshals of Bootie° NA RV tepiied, !hot if what had ju fallen from him bad been In/Reknit? , intended tb, fuch defign could fairly be im puted to him.. He had nut only gives, the notice, but read the Identical Claufe he meant to pro. pole. It was certainly his with that due time thould be given. . It was fettled that the Bill thould I.e refefred to a Committee of the Whole Houle on that day fortnight.--Adjourned. HOT/SE OF 00/AMONS.

Mr. altAncP, brought up the Report of the Committee on hi; Nfajelly's Meg:age, recommend ing it to the Hook to fettle an Annuity of One Thouftnd Pounds on Captain Sir Sidney Smith during the time of his natural life. Mr. loxes, on the motion for the fecond read ing of the Report, rofe to make a few oblervations on the propofed Petition to this brave officer. He hoped the i look would be fufficiently convinced that, when a proposition tor rewarding the gallant defender of Acre was made, he would be one of the Lilt to :hew any defire of interrupting, the ge neral unanimity on this fubjeft So far, indeed, was he frcm within to oppofe the propofition, that he could nut help teltifying has furpriie that the, reward had not long Since been conferred ; and the adage of ~ Beto:r late than n:ver" ap- ;seared peculiarly applicable on the prefent neca tion. He thought, however, that the turn of one thoufand pounds a year was far from being a fait able compenfation to the gallant individual who had hemmed the dean:llion of the Oonman Em• pire, and retarded the attack which was meditated, againfi our poffeffions in India. He trotted that he fhould have influence enough to obtain for him another pention from the Balt India Company, when he fhould I.ing forward his propofed Motion for that purpofe. The Report was then read a fecond time,agreed to newthw everadiante, .nd a Bill in terms of it or dered to be prepared by Mr. Role and Mr. Long, and brought into the Houk. Mr. Basco it next brought up the Report of the Committee of Ways and Means, which was read: a hell time ; and on the Motion, That it be read a fecond time, Mr. M. A. Tavcon rofe to callthe attention of the Hottfe for a few moments to the hoafted prof perity of the country, and he trilled that in thefe ' few moments he fhould prove that there declama tions on our fancied wealth were not agreeable to our real fituation . He would have offered him fell to the attention of the Committee IA night, hut becaufe it was unufual in the firfl iuftancc to enter into any length of oppofition to the lupplies voted, he had refirved what he had to advance till the Refolutions were reported. Much had been fold of the extent of our refources and our ability to provide for the extraordinary expen diture to which, foom our fituation, we were fubjeeted, but an examination of the actual (late of the nation did not warrant the troth or fair nefs of fuch unqualified affections of profperity. It was only neceffary for the Houk to di-eCt their attention to the (late of the great manufac. curing towns throughout the kingdom, to the de-j cay of their trade and to the enormous int reale of poor's rates, to b;convinced that nulefs (borne relief IS givcn,the people will pofitively be unable to bear the heavy burdens by which they were depreffed. This seas no unfupported affertion of-his own, but a flatement founded on an induftion of fags drawn from the fituation of a populous diftriEt in the Weft Riding of Yorklhire; In confidering the (late of the manufacturing towns over all that ex- Leili;vc part of the country, in turning his atten tion to that kvere dittrefs which the Peopk were enduring, it was impogible for him to believe in the ti nth of the glowing defcription. of national profperity, in which the Right Honourable Gen tleman (Mr. Pitt), had 101 l night indulged. He W 4% not to be convinced hr the molt planfible de clamation, or the moll imputing eloquence, and no eloquence cnti'd be more fplendid than that which the Right Honourable Gentleman difplayed in oppofition to clear, undeniable fads. In con fequence of theft fufferinffs, meetings had been held in various parts for the purpofe of laying a view of their grievances at the foot of the Throne. Nothing could be more centlitutional than this mode of proceeding, and as fuch it had met with his warns approbauun ; but at a time when near ly thirty millions were voted, and when new taxes to a vaft amount were to be inspored, the )(epee fentatives of the People ought to know what is their ability to bear Inch additional burdens. At a moment when they were caned upon to agree to thee votes from defcriptions of the fiourithing *its of the Country, they ought to be infiirtned by the evidence of fa is what is the flaw of the country. The Honourable Member accordingly ceded to read a number of•extrads from ea. rings papers he held in his hand, and (hewed that .11roc both in the fnialicr and more extenfive parithies, in the part oi•the country which he had mentioned, 'the poor rates had, from the year t7y 1 to the year slop, Menaced in a me* eseracedinary and alarns' a r i s t i: d i , egree. In many inflames they-bad bees tri quadrupled, and in others hiertafed 1 it in a • greater proportion within the period (pi ailed. and this enormourinereafe of burdens he , Sir joitsi PARKILL did not rife to (late any ge neral objeCli ms to the Refclutions fiihnlitted to the Houfe., hut merely to make a fsw obfervations or. the Eflatnates as they sv.:se conneeled will the eflablifinnent of Ireland. The calculations ap peared to him, as I.r ;Is C•cy rcfpeeed Et: land, to be perfpicuous and finkflisftory, hut that part of the (tato/lent which regards the (hare v:hi-h Ire land mus to bear in the general fy(tem of fupply and esp t.diture, teemed not I.) be explained with futlicieut degree of minutetscfs. ' ellimating the!urns for MlfeellaneoLs Services, it was net fullieichtly pointed our whether Ireland, under r connettlion with Great Britain, was to pay mere or leis than The had defrayed while in a re. parate hate ? As this p trt of the fubj !ft would afterwards come to be considered when the par ticular mums were voted, he flinuld rake an oppor tunity of explaining his views at a greater length than he pofiibly had it in his power to do on the pret;nit occaCon. He begged leave, however, at this time, to advert to what he conceived a very great deficiency in di.- Eflimate now before the )-lonfe. He felt it his duty to take notice of this deficiency, though it would have the tendency of relievinft Ireiand from her ;;,,it- Freportion of the gener.eSupply, beeaufe he confident! !timid( fit ting in that Houfe not to watch over feparate in terells, not to provide for partial advantage,_ but to be a faithful guardian of the interells of the United Empire. In the eftimate of the there which Ireland was to 'bear in the joint expence, the fom neceffary as her proportion, was Rated at 4 mil lions one hundred and eighty-fix thoufand pounds, which would not be fufficient for the eftablifh ment of Ireland, and would confequently have the deficiency to be made up by a heavy charge on. England. The feparate eflabliflurent of Ireland had UR year amounted to 5 millions fix hundred thoufand pounds, and, according to the ellimates now produced, a deficiency of I million three hint. Bred and twenty thoufand pounds would remain, for which no provifiess was made by the Refolu tions as at prefent propofed. This was a fiebjed of vain importance to be attended to, and he had conceived it his ditty to bring it under the view of the Houf:. He begged leave farther to call the attention of the Hottfe to another circumftance which feemed not to have been attended to on the prefent occafion. It had been the cnftom in the Iriffi Parliament for a century pall, previous to the voting of the Supplies, to have accounts of all the different parts of the public expenditure pre rented, and caamincd by a Committee fpecially defigned for that purpofe. Theft accounts were drawn up in the cleaieft and mo.• correa terms, and were conitantly in a Rate of preparation at the time the Committee began their examination. The utility of this plan was extremely perceptible, in giving to every Member of the Houk the molt fatisfadory vi:w of every different application ofthc public money, the accounts, ccmprizing under fii rand divifions, whatever was conned with the national economy and finance. He concluded by fithmitting to the Honk, whether a pradice attended with Inch beneficial effefts, tending' fc eminently to explain and to fimplify the difpateli of public bulinefs,onght to be renounced, or wife: titer, in forming the Irilh Eftimates on the prefent occalion, they might not have been employed with high advantage. They would, in a thou period, render ckar what was now peculiar in the Trills eltabliffiment, and enable the Members at large to enter; without difficulty, into the eflimates which might hereafter be produced. Mr. PITT began by remarking there was a tri vial omiflion in the ffatement of the Hon. Baronet, whole talents he highly refpe.fted, and whole ex perience and information relative to Iriland. he Ihould be always happy to fee exercifed for the be• nefit of the Houfe. The error committed by the Hon. Baronet was, he laid, in confidcring the proportion of two fixteenths, amounting to 4,1a4,0001. as the whole expence to be paid by Ireland, as the interelt of her debt, her Sinking Fund, and a (inn which had been advanced by this country to pay off hi& Treafury Bills, were ex: prefsly excluded, and were (till to be kparately provided for by that country. It was thus that Ireland was under the neceffity of borrowing 2,500,0001. which mull be provided for by means of her feparate refources, without bearing any re lation en 6tr (hare of the whole expence of the United Kingdom. The expence of Ireland would be found to be 4.700.0001. including that fitare and dot dif ferunce between the film and 5,5c0,c001. would be the faro gained by that country in confequence of the Union, which, though not to the extent Bated by the Honourabk Braonct, he yet deferred the higheil commendation Mr his ciforts to dii corer what be conceived to be an error, though operating igainft his own country, and which were an eminent proof of his candid and du - m an n e d mind.
