PARLJAMENTART PROCEEDINGS. . - - HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, DEC.. ;T. Counfel were heard at confiderable length on the Appesl from the Court of Chancery in freLand, M'Clure v. Echlin, namely, Mr. Stephens, as re. cond Counfel for the Rcfpondent. Mr. Stephens's addrefs to their Lordfhips was necelTarily iftterrupted,for the bufinefs of the Com miffion, on account .of which the Counfel were or. dares' from the Bar. The Consmitßonen being robed, and (gated on the Bench in front of the Throne,_ and the Com mons in attendance, the Royal Allem was given, in the ufual form, to the Exchequer Bills Bill s the Exchequer Loan, • the Lottery Amendment, the Expiring Laws, the Naval Stores,. the Corn Im portation, tl-: Militia, the Prize Captors, and the roicign Cnrrefpondence Bills ; and alto to five Private and eight Naturalization Bills. The Lords eommirnoncrs on this occafion were the Archbilhop of CANTERBURY, the LORD CHAN criLoit, and the Duke of Rox BURGH. After thegommons had retired, Counfel were again called to the Bar, and Mr. Stephens was heard to the conclution of his argument.—Mr. Richards was then heard at fonie length on behalf of the Appellants, which fmithed the pleadings upon the Caufe. The Loan Ca awcztzna role, and made a va riety of obfervations upon the cafe, of which he gaud a general outline, for the further elucidation of its merits to the Houfe. He obferved, that with refeeB to une prominent point in the cafe, he might move to have its further confuleration poß pined only till the following Monday ; but on a view of the whole cafe, it contained fuch a-nom b,:r of great, weighty, and important points, that a much longer interval would be necetfary for its full :end adLquate confideration. In one point of view, its importance was fo great, that, to a cer tain degree, their Lordships dccifion mull daily and hotaly reg.') the tranfatlions in the Courts of Judie.: in both Countries.

CORN DISTILLERY. Mr. BURTON prefented a Petition from the Cor poration of Oxford, praying that the reitridions on the Dillillery from Corn might be further conti nued. Mr. Burton took occafion at the fame time to exprefs his hope, that upon a fuhjeCt on which the fentiments of the people of England teemed fo generally expreflive of apprehenfions for the evil confequepces of taking off the reftriClions from the ditlillery from grain, as direCtly tending to enhance the price of bread corn, confideration would not be poßponed until a period In difiant as the meet ing of Parliament after the Reeds. Already had the very expeetation, that the refiriCtion being taken off, operated to raife the price of corn molt confiderably in feveral difri is, notwithttanding the unparalleled abundance of the late harveit.— Already was the Table of the Houle covered with Petitions from moll refpeCtable communities in dif ferent coasters of the kingdoms all expreffive of the like apprehenfions. Many snore Petitions, he underflood, were ready to be prefented, and a Rill more confiderable number he was lure would have been brought forward if the period of the reeds was more remote. Conlidering then that thole pre judices on the fubjed of the Corn Diftilleries ' whe ther fairly founded or not, had the effcel of fa vouring the inordinate enhancement of the price of bread and other provillons ; that the fentiments of the people of England, to which the Right Hon. Chancellor of the Exchequer, the avowed friend of this deprecated meafure, had profeffed fo much deference,ivere fo generally and decid edly hoftile to it. In hoped the reprefentations of thofe fentiments fo urgently, and at the fame time fo refpeftfully,and generally preffed on that Houle, would not be rcfufed a calm hearing and due con. federation. But that, nearly as the reeds ap proached, there would. Rill be an early day ap• pointed before it fhould take place, for the confi. deration of the Petitions already before the Houfe on this fubjea. He was willing to give the Right Honourable Gentleman credit for readinefs to at tend to every reprefentation on the part of the peo ple of England and that nothing bu' the ftrongeft perfuafion of reelitude would induce him to oppofe thofe Petitions. _ The Cita'maxima of the Eremite:one Paid, the Honourable Member did him no more than juflice in fuppofing that nothing but the ftrongeft perfua lion of reditude could induce him to oppofe the lentiment of the people generally exprclfed. He did him juftice alfo in believing, that he fhould at all times be difpofed to pay every due refped and deference to the cpinions of that people, well knowing there was no people in Europe who ge nerally formed their opinions upon more due deli beration, or more folemn grounds. But he was by no means convinced that thofe petitions on the table fpoke the general fentiments of the people of England. At the fame time that he attended with defrrence to the fentiments of the people, he mutt not forget his obligation of public and official duty : and whillt he fhould feel proud at all times to ad in concert with the fenfe of the people, yet when he had the ftrongell proofs and perfuafion that his public duty bound him to an oppolite courfe, he had no fcruple to avow his determi nation to ad to the heft of his judgment for the interefis of the people, even againit their witties t while he would folemnly avow his readinas to yield to the fenfe of the people every thing but that which he could, abandon far no earthly con fideration, namely, his fenfe of public duty. With refpca to the meafure againft which thee peti tions were direa:cl, it was now five weeks fine he gave notice n(his intention. The opinions be had already avowed were formed upon the &Bell per (nation that the interefts of the country, upon the hroadefl and fairest view, called for it : He felt it unneceffary to go at large into the difcuffion. It was his intention to have moved as on Monday next au adjournment of the Houfe to a diftant day, but fo far was it from his wines to forego any dif cuffion upon this fubjeft, that be had no objedion too into the quefiion on that day, nor fhould he refill any motion of which notice fhould now be given for the purpofe, and to whatever fhould be the opinion of the Houk in the refult of fuch die coition, he &mkt bow with the profonndeß de ference. Mr. Pevias (aid, that after the very handfonse and candid declaration of the Right Honourable Gentleman, it became unnecefary for him to offer an argument upon the fubjed. He could only af- Cure the Right Houourable Member , that if `the nature of circumflances would allow of deferring the diletiffion for a few days longer, he would find the fenfe of the country Rill more general again& it. He had no objection to accept the . propofition of the Right Honourable Gentleman for going in to the confideration of the fubjed on Monday. The petition was received; and Mr. Bimini, gave notice, that on Monday next he fhould move for the }look to refolve into Committee, in order to take into confederation the leveret petitions on this fubita. Mr. Beacon prefented a petition from the Cor poration of Briflol, alto apina opening the grain diftilletits, and Rating that ever forte notice had been given of an intention to take off the teßric ti (((( bread and bread-eorn had very confiderably advanced in price. Colonel STASI LIT prefented a petition from a meeting at Liverpool to the fame died, figned by the Chairman, who is alto Mayor of the place;— but on the representation of Mr. Speaker that it was informal, as purporting to be only a swede' of individuals, nit proleffing to be Freeholders or inhabitants of Liverpool, and fired only by a . perfon himfclf their Chairman, it was re. jei....d.—A petition was prefented from Ludlow to die like purport, which was received , and ordered I to lie on the :able.—Adjourned to Monday.

Plawdria Ram Yefterday a Court of Direiftors of the EaR India Company was held at the India Houle, which ad journed to Wednefday next. At Reigate (Surrey) Fair, which was held on Wednefday left, there was a very handfoine lbow of lean cattle, chiefly Welch, which, from the abundant feed, were eagerly bought up at high prices. Fat beafts were, in the language of the dealers, abote all pries. About 500 Iheep were (hewn, and fold well. On the whole, the prices, from the clemency of the realms, are on the rife. f At EaR Grinftead, yefierday, the prices were.l Rill on the rife t (heap rather Ready, and, if any thing, cheaper, unlefllsof fiiperior quality. It was left week obfervcd in the Court of Common Pleas, in a caufe in which two rela tions, an Apothecary and an Attorney, had fo , inenteß a trifling fuit, that they were in a finplar fituation, and had an extraordinary family failing, which was, that no one who entrulted himfelf to the care of either—ever recovered !

He admonifhed them to mix in all their ftudies that obfervance of philofophy and truth, without which the Art mutt degenerate into mere mechanifm. He traced the proprefs of Sculpture and Painting from the fira rude imitation of Nature by the Egyptians to the period when Greece could boast of her Phidiats and her Apelles. It was by the ani of Philofophy that thefe great men were taught to give to the human figure not only refemblance, but foul, ex preffion, and animation. The progrefs of the Ita lian School was exactly the fame. Leonarda da Vinci was the fira who there made any approach to philofophic truth : but it was by combining fcience with Rudy, that his fucceffors Michael An gelo, Raphael, Titian, and Corregio, were enabled fucceffively to carry the Art to its highest perfec tion. The Prefident, in his conclufion, bestowed a merited . panegyric on the benign patronage of the Sovereign, which, by founding that School, and by its Mafive• influence, had in lets than half a century carried the Arts in Gre it Britain to their prefent date of per • The noble and the wealthy had al contributed much to this im portant end ; though too many, he was tarry to fay, were mare anxious to form collationa of the works of foreigOartills, than to thew their patri otic fpirit, by tottering, the produce of native in dnary and talents.
