The Hon. Baronet read 'a quotation from Sir Matthew Hale, againft cruelty to beans, and an article from the Shrewtbury Newipaper, the Writer of which, he laid, he did not know. This article conveyed fomc very fevere obferva. dons on the fupporters of bull-baiting, clofing with the remark of Solomon, " that the merciful were merciful even to beans ; btu that the tender mercies of the wicked were cruel. "The Honour. able Baronet read feveral extra is from letters addreffed to him from dirss-rent quarters of the country ttpriti this feted, all of which repro bated this inhuman fport,and Wrongly recommen ded him to perfiß in his endeavours to procure an Alf of Parliament againft it—an endeavour in which he derived fome additional hopes of fuccefs from the Union, as he underftood the Ira Par. Lament had palled a Bill fimilar to that before the Houle. He truned the Irilh Gentlemen who were fo favourable to their own bulls (a loud laugh) Would extend tome portion of that tendernefs to the bulls of England. He thought it orange that fame Gentlemen thould be fo much averfe to peace, that they &laid be anxious to prevent peace even between the boll end the dog; but he expected that their oppofition to this treaty would have the fame ace as their zealous refinance to that De finitive Treaty, which had given fo much joy to the country, and Co much relief to fuffering hu manity ; but Gentlemen pretended to argue ► that tbe prevention of bull•baitimg would weaken the energies of the Bt i tint character. What, he would ark, was manlitiefs degraded by humanity ? was it incontinent with feeling ? or could it be encou raged and made perfect by cruelty ? For the in formation of thole Gentlemen who thought fo, he would recommend them to look to the example of the Spatiiards, among whom thofe inhuman entertainments were carried to !itch an excels, that 'he underftood from a friend of his, who had tra velled through Spain, that he few not lets than t 3 bulls and is horfes dettroyed in the courfe of one evening, for the amufement of a people certainly not remarkable for the fpirit and energy of their character ; though, if bull•baiting Was calculated to produce the effects attributed to it in that Houle, they ought to be molt glaring in Spain. In that country the bulls were not tied to.ftakes as" they were iuEngland—if they were fo fairly dealt with here—if they were to be let lode upon their tormentors—he apprehended that many of the ad mirers of that (Port would ((wink from the keno.

After Prayers were read, Strangers were readmitted : and Coon after the Royal Mem W. 13 given, by Cannraildon, to the Mutiny Bill, the Marine Mutiny, the Irlib Indemnity, the Poft Horfes Paint Duty, and the Militia Pay Bill, together with 34 Bids of a private or local deferipeion. The Lotds Commillioners on this occadon, were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Walfingham, and Lord Alvaulirg. The Sugar Duty Drawback Ball, and the kith Coaftlog Trade Bill, were brought up from the Commons by Mr. Aleamder ; as were alto a number of private Bills, by Mr. !rang, General Gafeoyne, Mr. Dickenfon, and other Gentlemen. The Bills upon the Table were read in their refpcdtive Rages, and the Bills newly brought up from the Commons, were read a irft time. Lord %waxy moved, that the Militialtegulatiotaßill,which was on a former day brought up from the Comtnons,andpint ed fee the ufe of thiir Lordfhips,by reads fecond time on Wed nefelsy next, and that the Lords be fummoned for that day. The Duke of NORTOLIC etpreffbd his with to know if it were intended by Government to continue the Volunteer Corps ? Lord H replied, that there was a Bill in its progrefs through the other Houfe of Parliament relative to the fubjed adverted to by the Noble Duke ; twat obferved, that the Bill then before their Lordlilips had no fort of reference to the Vo lunteer Corps. The Earl of CARNAITON contended, that it was an impor tant queflion to be refolred, and with a reference to the futneek regularly before the Honfe ; as, by the Bill, it was propofed to augment the Militia force to double the number ufually kept up in time of Peace, and all Members of Volunteer Corps were exempted from (erring in the Militia. Lord HOBART repeated, that all he could fay was, that the fobjett alluded to was by no means before the Route. There was, as he obfervcd, a Bill in Its way through the other Hoak, which we. introduced by a Member of his fvfajelty's Govern ment; and if Noble Lordsivilked to learn the intentions of Go venenxent upon the Celle& the belt thing be could advife them, was to endeavour to fee the Bill he alluded to. The queltiou was then put, on which the Militia Regulation Bill was ordetal to be read a fecon4 time on WedtwidaY, and the Lords to be Summed accordingly. Same private buftnefs was difpofed of, (in the eaurfe of which one of the Appeals was fixed for hearing on the salt of June), after which the Houfe adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Hu therefore exhorted the Houle to country, he thought it unnecelrary to make many relieve the poor bulls—(a largL) remarks upon the fubjet. The exertions of the Mr. WINDHAM faid that the evil complained of Yeomanry Corps in Ireland were entitled to the by the Cupporters of this Bill was not inch as iin highelt praife ; they had come forward with arms perioufly called for or juftified the interference of in their hands, to repel Foreign Invaders, and to the Legi fl ature. It was not an evil that was crufh dome f t ic foes, and in both contellb had equal- growing with our . growth, or ttrengthened with ly difplayed their loyalty and their courage. The . our ftrength ; for it was actually on the decline, Bill propofed was fimilar to one formerly paired in : infomuch, that if Parliament did net proceed the Irith Parliament ; its objet was to enable his quickly, it would fearcely have any cafe to which Majefty to continue the Cervices of colain corps, to apply the law. The fad was, that for the Lift according to the circumftances of the country, and twenty years he underftood there were not two to eltabldh regulations for colleaing and fecuring bull-baits in the city he reprefented, or its vicini. the arms of thole corps who were difembodied.— ty; awl but for this Bill it would hardly be known He concluded by moving for leave to bring in a to the greater part of the population of England Bill to enable his Welly to accept and continue that filch a practice now exifted. Therefore he the Cervices of certain Troops or Companies of Yco- could not conceive the Bill neceffary befides he inanry in Ireland.—Leave given. did not think it a fit fubjett to legiflate upon; fuch Mr. Wiegman thortly afterwards brought up trivial topics leading to a great deal of petty in. the Bill, which was read a firft time, and tattered terference, should not be brought before Parlia. to be read a fecond time on Wedneiday. ment. It was rather curious indeed to find the so LL•11111T111G. Imperial Parliament qccupied, under the prefent Mr. Dews moved, that the Bill to prevent Bull- circumftances of the country, on the bufinefs et baiting and Bull-running fhould be read a fecond bull-baiting ; occupied very unworthily indeed, on ting, fiating that he lhould claim the indulgence a propofal to increafe the Penal Laws, and to add of retrying to himielf the right of replying to another dance to thofe same Laws which were any oblation that might be offered to this motion. already mu c h compl a i ne d o f— w hi c h mad e a m a n Sir RICHALD HILL role to timid the motion, a party and a judge in the fame caufe.

Such was the cafe with refped which would, he had no doubt, be fufficient to to this Bill, when halt before the Houle; for had excite the feeling; of every Member, and induce h e not come d own b y c h ance , and flirted up Come the Houle to adopt this measure. The Hon. Bee= difuldhon upon it, it might have been carried.— ronet read an extra& from a Bury Newfpaper, de- This he meant as an ar6ument againft Legillative fcribing the treatment of a bull in that town, interpofition on queltions not of adequate itnpor which, after having been baited, was let lode, ante or likely to procure attention. With reXped il,toughed, and in that Rate tun evoke to the to thentanner in which this fubjea had been treat . ed this evening—the Hon. Baronet had gone into a minute and elide defcription of different parts of the queftion, but had not given a fair and com prehenfive view of the whole, he had exaggerated the parts, furvcying them in detail as it were, with a microfcope—to which microfcope the Honoura ble Baronet would put the eyes of the Hoare to .look at the bull's mangled firth, and then cry out how can fuch cruelty be fuffered in a civilized country ? but then he (Mr. W.) would fay, let this objedion to cruel (ports be con fi ftent—let it be applied generally—let it operate againft hunting, (tooting, fifhing, and courting ; againft the amufements of rich as well as thofe of poor,tother wik it was hypocrify and injuftice—for all thofe pleafures were upon the grounds Rated by the ad vocates of this Bill, equally objedionable ; but the Houfe fhould fee thofe things on a larger fcale, and confider that if the faired proportions were to be looked at through a magnifying slats, they might appear difgulling ; for inftance, if the fined model of human beauty was to b e examined through fuch a medium, the hair on the face,. which would be fcarcely preceptible to the naked eye, might appear as large as a bridle on a hog's back. If he were inclined to go into a detailed defcription of the cruelties confequent upon Wr ing, hunting, courfing, ttc. he felt confident that he would be able to Phew that they were numerous, and not lets, perhaps more, barbarous than thofe of bull baiting; and then he would apply the ay pawn= ad hennas, and fay to Gentlemen, that while they purfue thefe cruel amufements, and guard the exercife of them by a code of game laws, they fhould not attempt to deprive the poor of any favourite entertainment, which was not li able to other objections, than would go to put a ftop to their own alto. This Bill, however, was, it teemed, the fire Rep in the defign to reform the manners of the common people ; and thofe per. tons who happened to be defeated in their maiden exertions to reform the conftitution, in which, by the bye, had they fucceeded, we fhould now have no conflitution at All ; were at prefent endeavour.. ing to plan, and withing to effect a change of thole manners upon which the fecurity of the Conflitu tion and the Country materially depended. To accomplifh this end, two parties were combined, the Methodifts and the Jacobins—both branches of the fame Houfe—both Iprung from the fame an, celtry ; for the Puritan of old - and the modern Ja cobin were equally determined in their hottility to what, in cantlanguage, they called lewd (ports and arittocratic pallimes—that was the badge of the old Puritan's order. He did not mean now to reproach any of the fedaries, or to enter into a difcuffiun of their tenets; but it would be adniit. ted that one of the praEtical purpofes of the Me.' thoditts was to give to the common people a more lobar, grave, and reflecting character, than clinic guilbed them heretofore. itgainft that defign he moll formally protefted.--upon that point he ever would differ with any defcription of men. For how ever he might with that the people fhould be more religious—more attentive to church, and to their. moral duties—he would never confent to exchange the cheerful, open, and merry character of the common people, for the four, morofe, and felf conceited manners which generally marked the Puritans, who were feldom known to polka jolly or focial tempers; and in that they refembled the gloomy habits of the Jacobins. He would not pretend to fay, that thefe two parties entertained precifely the fame views—he rather believed the Methodifts were averfe to the plots of the other ; but the fyltem of inftrution they gave to their followers, was certainly calculated to make them very tradable inftruments for Jacobinifm, that poifon of fociety, which happily had as yet made lets progrefs among the very lower orders of the people, than among any other clefs of the com munity ; but Methodifm worked upon them with harder materials, it paved the way for the othcr.--. it urged them to judge of things they could not underftand. The Jacobin Miffionary might fay to Ithe Methodift—teach the common people to form opinions for themfelves—make them read your religious trails, and then I (hall put my political pamphlets into their hands. Thus they might and did work with the fame rope twilled at both ends, and the end of their fyftems would be to deftroy the old and natural character of this country. Both tended to fanaticifin—fanaticifm little agreeing with the difpolition of thole who were aceuftomed to bull-baiting ; fo little, that he would not hefitate to pledge hinifelf that one bull-baiter or bull-runner was not to be found among the Correfponding So ciety. No, the Members of that Society were en gaged with higher objeds. Perfons occupied in plans for the depofing a g overnments, and the cutting off Kings' heads, would not degrade them (elves with fuch low purfuits. They did not, how ever, hate bull-baiting on accotmt of its inhumanity, but on account of the thoughtleffnels and jollity which the amilfement encouraged, and which were not very fuitable allies for their project. He did not mean to infinuate that the Methodifts. as a re ligious people, were friendly, he fhould rather fop pore they were adverfe to moral Jacobinifm, which had no religion at all ; but he could not help ob (crying, that though hot water is known to be further removed from congelation than cold, yet when brought into the open air, it still freeze foOner ; and he was perfuaded that the Jacobin Miffionaries of 1792, who turned their attention to the tormenting of higher animals than bulls,vould have been more apt to make converts among the Methoditts than among the common people bufed for bull-baiting. It might be faid there were better places for common people to elk, than to fpend their time and health in public-houfes, b he would recommend attention to their proper evocations in l'afifellh and leccailmally• to athletic • • r '
