r: 1.-A.;•• b.( V . • rnent to promote the reduCiion of all unnecessary taxation, retaining only what was es.Lutially necessary for the Government and the pub. lic service. His hope was that thtre would be no disposition on the part of Government to permit any one to get off without a sparing. hand. They had it in contemplation to cut off some of the larger branches of expeme, but they:did no,:ntean to limit their exertions. Every de partment of the Government would be examined and retrenchment made The next point was public credit. It was their duty to take every siep in their power for the preservation of that credit. Another point to which it might be satisfactory to advert was our relations with foreign powers. The Noble Earl on that subject would only say that they had then no meams of knowing what had been done, but he would repeat what he had recently said in that house. It was the first duty of the Administration to preserve peace. On the questions which have disturbed the Continent he had said that the policy of this sountry ought to be that of non interference. The government would look to the connexion between the governments of the continent and this country, and endeavour to maintain a good understanding, acting upon all occasions with a view to conciliation and the adjustment of those disturbances which unhappily had arisen between the two governments. Standing themselves upon bases of public liberty, they ought to support the liberty of nations in abhorrence of those views of aggrandisement which must disturb the repose of me world. To sum up all, in short, he would say the wishes of the government, and the principles on which they stood, would tend to the amelioration of exist. ing evils, the relief of suffering individuals, and the preservation of peace. On those grounds he had taken up a task which the noble earl could say, without vanity, was arduous and difficult. Had they not accepted office, it might have been a vain attempt to form another p. vernment: His hope was that the kindness of his Majesty would coy him through; having the support to which he looked with pleasure, pee. social sacrifice would not be regarded.He looked with confidence to summit which he expected to find in the honour and intelligence of Parliament; at the same time if he found he could not act with satisfaction to those whose interest he was ready to support with a view to the welfare of all, he should be ready to resign to his Majesty the situation which his Ma. jest, had so graciously committed to him. It was unnecessary to ay more than express the gratitude he felt for the kindness of his Majesty, and the prompt generosity of the noble lord on the woolsack (Brougham), which alone could have enabled him, in the short space of a week, to arrange the new Administration (bear, hear, hear), for it was only on that day se'nnight that he heard the declaration of the noble duke. Previous to that day he had not the least idea of being placed in the Ili. tuation he then held. Since that dine he had conversed with other per. sons who had consented to place themselves in the administration of the country. They had been selected with the best intentions, and by their acts they would stand, high or low, in the judgment of the country.— ( Hear, hear.) The Earl of RADNOR congratulated their lordships upon the pro'. pest of reform in parliament, but could not approve of the reservations of the noble earl on that subject. The noble earl did not support reform to the full extent, but expressed his dissent to certain notions of reform, confining his own views of the time for reform within limits. ft was not the first time bt had heard the same statements in that house, and was sorry the noble earl did not seem to go the length of the noble mar. (pia, who had given a clear and distinct view of his intentions. His hope, however, was, that Ministers would carry the question to the utmost extent. Earl GREY, in explanation. repeated that he had the permission of his Majesty at a proper time to take into consideration the question of reform. He could not approve of the wild theories of reform, but looked only to strong cases of objection. His object would be to die. tinguish the happy medium of reform which would satisfy the public— s reform calculated not to disturb the settled institutions of the country. If that reform was objectionable, he should tell those who opposed it that they wanted not reform but revolution. His object was to prevent danger, perhaps revolution. His measure was for the consideration of those wbo knew how to legislate with care and prudence ; but he would say, it was unreasonable to call upon him on that occasion for the de tails of his measure. The noble earl expressed a hope that their Lord. ships would not call for the details of reform, but give him credit for a desire to reform upon sound and safe principles. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE in supporting the sentiments of the noble earl at the had of the administration, said that he should care fully abstain at present from entering_ into details on the important question which was under discussion. He assured their lordships that he should not be led by any observations made either in that house or elsewhere to prejudice that great measure as a whole.— (Hear, hear.) Lord RADNOR peened upon the attention of ministers the ne cessit of taking the present state of the country into immediate consider Lord WHARNCLIFFE, although opposed all his life to certain species of reform, would venture to say that it was now too late to shut the door against reform of some sort. The noble earl had a very intricate question to deal with, and when he introduced it, the utmost caution was necessary in cedes that the institutions of the country be not interfered with or disturbed; on the subject of retrench. ment he agreed with the Noble Farl; be (Lad Whinscliffe) should watch the pros of the New Ministry with anxiety. At the same time he p himself not to give them unnecessary opposition. Earl CARNA VON trusted that his Majesty's present Ministers would not leave the great questions of reform and the distress of the country to be solely discussed in the other house of Parliament. He trusted that Ministers would be induced to look into the cause of that distress; he believed still that mans might be found to restore com petency to the peasant and remuneration to the farmer. His Majesty's Ministers would do well to look present distress full in the face. Earl GREY in explanation said, that he bad hoped noble lords would have waited until the plans of reform to be submitted were de veloped. He assured their Lordships, that the distress of the country and the disturbances which existed in many parts, were the subjects which would press first upon the attention of bis Majesty's Ministers. The Marquis of I.A NSDO WN E then presented two additional peti tions, praying for Reform in Parliament ; one of which was from the Royal Burgh of Cupar, and the other from Arbroath. LAW BILLS. The House went into Committee on Lord Tentertlen's Common law Improvement Bills, which were severally committed.—Adjourned at Seven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Speaker took the Chair at three o'clock, at which time there were about a hundred Members present. Mr. 8. RICE (who sat on the Treasury bench) immediately moved that the Speaker do issue a writ for the election of a Knight of the Shire for Northamptonshire, in the room of Lord Althorp, who had accepted the office of Chancellor and Under Treasurer of the Ea chequer. A new writ for Cambridge University, in the room of Lord Palmer ston, who had accepted the office of on e o f hi s M a j esty ' s P r i nc i pa l Secretaries of State. A new writ for Inverness-shire, in the room of the Right Hono u r. able Charles Grant, who h a d ac cepted the office of President of the Board of Controul. A new writ for Preston, in the room of Mr. Edward Smith Stanley, who had accepted the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. A new writ for the election of a Knight of the Shire for Cumberland, in the room of Sir James Graham, who had accepted the office of First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. H. PIIILPOTTS said, the hon. baronet had given notice of a motion on the subject of Dr. Philpotts holding the living of Stanhope, in etreemeadant with the See of Exeter; as the hon. baronet's vacation of his seat must prevent that motion coming on at the time appointed, be wished to make a statement of the facts Of the case drawn up by Dr. Philpotts, to prevent the misrepresentation on the subject that had gone abroad. The hon. baronet had stated that a petition had been presented to his Majesty, praying that Dr. Philpotts mi g h t not b e allowed to hold the living of Stanhope in eognasetwitna with a bishoprick. That petition contained three allegations ; first, that the living of Stanhope contained 12,000 inhabitants; the second, that Dr. Philpotts was about to resign the spiritual care of it to a hireling; the third, that the parishioners paid him 4,0001. a year. All these allegations were substantially un true. The parish of Stanhope contained, by the last census, little more than 7.000 inhabitants; it contained two independent ehapeltice, and the number of parishioners under the spiritual care of Dr. Phil potts did not amount to more than 2,341, and instead of delegating his cars of them to a hireling, it was delegated to two curates, both .men of independent property, and who could not be removed by Kip; without the consent of the Bishop of the diocese; end so far eras the income received by Dr. Philpotts from the parishioners' from.' &Mounting to 4,0001. a year, that it amounted to no more than .between 6001. and 6001. • year. The principal emoluments of the See was a daunts* from the See of Durham; arising from lead mines, and amounted to about 3,0001. a year; and as the living weo generally held is oostmendam with some poor Bishoprick, in this way the rich See of Durham contributed to th e support of a poor See. The Being of Stanhope had been held in cortmeesdan by three Bishops during the pee nt century. He had also to mention that Dr. Philpotts had expended 12,0001 in building two bonus In the living, one for himself and oat for his Curate; and when, about foot moothoo .2 ±: was first told that his Majesty intended to raise him to the Bench, he distinctly stated that with Ws large family he could an. cep' the sales be was allowed to bold Ids living is ems. meadow. On this understanding Dr. Philpotts had accvull the Bee of Bleter, 'Bid+ Was known to be insufficient for the wt of a Bishop without Isolates a MO" its emennendass ; end be - hoped the house would not bear any more of the ben. limenst's notice of motion. Sir HENRY HARDINGE (who spoke from the opposition bench) said, he felt it to be his duty to state to the House that the circumstances concected with Dr. Philpotts's promotion were very erroneously under. stood by the public.—Tne Duke of Wellington allowed him to state that Gr. Phiipotts, with whom he continued in communication on the Catholic Relief Bill to the close of that measure, opposed it to the last. on the ground of want of sufficient securities. That Dr. Philpotte had been recommended for a bishoprick in Lord Liverpool's adminUtratioo .and that the usual reference being lately made to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London, they both approved of the ap pointment, observing, at the same time, that it would not be popular. The Duke of Wellington, knowing the cause of unpopularity was eras neou., did not think it a reason for not making the appohnment. He (Sir Henry Hardinge) having represented Durham, knew that Dr. Phil. ports had expended 12,000 L on his living, which wee not to be repaid ; and that be had fourteen children, and was obliged to devote a amid derable portion of his income to make a provision for them. Mr. SPRING RICE proceeded to move for the following new writs:— For Aylesbury, in the room of lord Nugent, who has accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury. For Tralee, in the room of Mr. R Vernon Smith. who has accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury'. For Portsmouth, in the room of Mr. F. Baring, who has accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury. For Youghall, in the room of Mr. George Ponsonby, who has accepted the office of a Lord of the Traisury. For Dover, in the room of Mr. Powlett Thomson, who has accepted the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and Treasurer of the Navy. Lord LOWTHER asked whether the has. gent. had disconnected himself with the mercantile house in which be was a partner ? Mr. S. RICE replied, that he had totally disconnected himself with any mercantile house. 'The bon. gentleman then moved for a new writ for Oakhamptoo, in the room of Mr. A. who has limpid the office of First Com missioner of Woods and Forests and Land Revenue. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that the persons who had pre. seated a petition complaining of an undue election for Armagh, had not entered into the necessary recognizance. The order for taking the petition into comdderation was discharged. The SPEAKER acquainted the house that he had received petitions from Ireland, complaining of an undue election for the city of Limerick, and for the city of Londonderry. The petitions were severally ordered to be taken into consideration (nominally) on the 4th of January. Mr. O'CONNELL hoped that Government :would abolish the office of Vice-Treasurer of Ireland, which was a sinecure office held by a Member of Parliament (hear.) There were 14,0001. a-year now to be paid to retired Chancellors, and there might soon be 8,0001. more. Sir JOHN NEWPORT gave notice. that after Christmas he should submit a motion to put an end to pluralities in Ireland. Mr. LITTLETON postponed the bill to prevent payment of wages in truck to the 14th of December. lir. SPENCE moved for various returns from the Court of Chan. Ca li; HOBHOUSE (who retained his seat on the opposition side) presented a petition from South Shields, for the revision of the Church Establishment ; and a petition from the parish of St. Clement Danes, against the house and window tax ; and another for the repeal of the New Police Act; and gave notice, that after Christmas he should bring forward a motion on the subject of select vestries. - - Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the butchers of Dublin and two from places in Meath and Sligo, for the repeal of the Union. He:trusted the numerous petitions he had presented would refute the opinion that Ireland was indifferent to this question. He gave notice that after Christmas be would submit a motion to legalise the marri ages solemnised by Catholic Clergymen. Mr. WYSE presented ',dittos; ham Tipperary for the repeal of the Union, and one from the!parish of St. Nicholas, Dublin, for a repeal of the duty on seaborne coals. Mr. S . RICE gave notice, that after Christmas he should bring for. ward a motion for making provision, in:certain cases, for the poor of Ireland.—(Hear.) Mr. J. WOOD said he trusted a reform would take place in the re. presentation of the people. The new ministry was pledged to reform, and if that house would not support them, they had the remedy in their hands, and should not hesitate to dissolve the parliament. If the new ministers redeemed their pledges, they should have his support. Sir J. YORKE said he was in strange compao . spoke from the ministerial side.) The new ministry if they their pledges, should have his support too, lie 7ettei that the ministry now defunct, had not corrected the otterupdon Seat Retford—.4t would have been • sop to Cerberus. (Laughter.) _ . bir.WILIES gave nodce of a motion, after Christmas, respecting baptismal and other registers, and to exempt all places of public worship from poor rates. Mr. HUME (who retained his seat on the opposition side) presented a petition from St. Mary.k.bone, against the select vestry system. Sir It PEEL, who occupied the seat on the opposition benches lately occupied by Lord Althorp, rose and presented a petition from Derby against negro slavery. The hon. ex.seastary made no remark. PAILIAMINTAIT 1111 , 01134 Mr. DENMAN presented a petition, resolved at a public meeting held at the town of Notti ng h am , an d s i gne d b y 8,000 persons, praying for parliamentary reform. The learned gentleman read the petition, and stated that he concurred with the petitioners in the necessity of a mea. sure for reform. The p e titi oners prayed for vote by WZot, but the learned gentleman confessed that be w a s n o t hi mse lf convinced, by any arguments he bad yet heard, of the propriety of vote by ballot being in troduced. Mr. IL FERGUSON hoped that, before many weeks, the new C 4. binet would bring in a bill for parliamentary reform. Mr. O'CONNELL remarked that a great majority of the people of Ireland were favourable to vote by ballot. WAYS AND DIANA. M. S. RICE moved, that the house resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means. The house resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Mesas, that three millions, from the Consolidated Fund, should be furnished for the supply of his Majesty's service. Report to be brought up to-morrow (this day.) IMRE SPECIAL AIRY SILL. On the order of the day being read for the third reading of the above bill. after a short conversation. the reading was postponed till Thurs. day next. ADMINISTRATION Or JUSTICE BILL. The Administration of Justice Bill was read a third time and passed. ILDUCTION OF SALANIES' BILL. Mr. HUME rose and stated, that he was desirous to withdraw the notice of motion which he bad given on a previous evening, and which stood for last night. He had given the notice to move for a reduction of salaries, as he thought the present was the most fit time to accom. plish a reduction ; but as it might be considered, if be pressed his motion at present, that he had not confidence in the new Ministry, he would withdraw the notice. He had no idea, he said, of distrust in the Ministry, and he would postpone the motion; but he did not pro. miss that he would give it up entirely. (Hear, hear, hear.) He had great expectation from the change—the new M i nistry were favour. able to reform, and the lion. Member :had great hopes that sow., radical good would be effected by the change. The Ministers had given several excellent pledges—they had pledged themselves to reform, and they were pledged to retrenchment also. The hon. member bad always advocated economy himself, and if the ministers kept their pledges be would consider them entitled to his support ; but if they did not meet the wishes of the people, they would find in him as great an oppo ser to them as he was to the last government. The new ministry were favourable to free trade, which was a measure that should have the sup. port of the hon. member. He hoped that they woul r reserve fifth with the public creditor. The hon. member acknow ledged that the last ministry had never once hinted at any measure of that iption, and he would be happy that the new ministry should in that particular fol. low their example. ARNAGE ZLZCTIOW. Mr. HUME presented a petition for an extension of 30 days to the time Axed for bearing the petition against Armagh Election. The time had, however, expired before this notice was given, and the petition had been discharged early in the evening. The SPEAKER called upon the Attorney-General to present ape. tition against negro slavery. A pause succeeded, and it appeared that no one owned the invitation. The Speaker then called upon Sir James Scarlett. Sir JAMES SCARLETT, Who had resigned his former official seat, and was occupying the seat in which Mr. Brougham sat formerly, rose amidst loud laughter. He presented the petition without making any observations. INTIRMAL 'TAIT OF THE COI7NTIIII. Mr. BARING, la consequence of some observations that occurred in a conversation ring the postponement of election committees, re. marked, that he hoped the Government would take decisive measures to check the disturbances that existed in some p ar t s o f the coustey. Sir R. PEEL inferred from the remark of the boa gendanan, that he entertained an opinion that the late Government had not bsen oaf. !Wendy vigilant. He wo u ld r e p ea t wh a t h e had often stated, that it was only by strong exertions of authorities that the disturbances were Se be checked.

But it was still perfectly possible to put down the disturbances by prompt local mea sures—if people would stand by their own cause. Let every man ftht before be gave up his property ; and that means would be found effectuaL but no force would avail if the proprietors suffered themselves to be intimidated into illegal concessions. DOME? OF LANCASTSR. COI DAVIZB expressed his au:Pries at having men the appoint ment made of the Duchy of Lancaster, particularly afl what had fallen heat the new Lord Chancellor on a former evening. The gallant Cola concluded with saying that if the appointment was Dot timicinded he should bring it before the House as a motion soon after Christmas. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Six o'clock. LAW REPORTS. COURT OF CHANCERY. NOORR T. DURANT.

Mr. Parrs handed in some amended advertisements of Chitty's edi. don of Burn's Justice, with affidavits in verification thereof, in order that his lordship might be enabled to judge whether the defendant had complied with his lordship's directions formerly made concerning them. The tioLicixon•Cizetiter. was willing to abstain from making any remark upon these papers, and to leave the matter entirely to the exercise of his lordship's judgment. Mr. Massa, for the defendant, acquiesced in this arrangement. The SocrcivoLtinxinad. was about to move that a cause might be advanced in his lordship's paper, but his lordship suggested that a motion of that nature had better be postponed for a few days. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 22. BOROUGH OT QUEENBOROUGH. Mr. Guairalr moved fors rule to show cause Why a criminal informs don should not be filed against certain persons, not awed, inhabitants of Queenborough, engaged in the fishing trade in that place. It sp . peered that the persons in question bad assembled together in a large body, and having got their employers into the Town Hall, demanded, civily at first, an Increase of wages. This being refused, they proceeded to acts of violence. They closed the doors of the Hall, and expressed their determination not to quit the place till their demands were eons. plied with. They also broke the windows, and threatened to have the lives of their masters, wbo were in great fear that the threats used would be put in execution. The masters now prayed that, under those cir cumstances, a criminal information might be filed against the fishermen in question.—Rule panted. THE LINO T. DYNLIT. The defendant in this case was convicted at the last Worcester As. sizes of fraud and conspitacy, and was brought up this morning for judgment. The facts of the case were shortly as follows :—The defendant, who is an attorney, borrowed, in the year 1810, the sum of 2,0001. from a Mr. Marshall, upon a security for 4,0001. which he held as the trustee of one Sarah Jenkins, who, however, was not consulted on the sub ject —nay, the whole matter was done without her privity or consent ; and, as ale had not assigned the security, It was, of course, of no effect. A person named William Lockalay, now deceased, who was formerly in the defendant's em ent, but at the time of the trans action in question was *ea nt of Marshall, assisted the defendant to obtain the hem On the part of the dedemlint various deposidoes ware pm in from persons of every rank Is Ingmar, which b 'sodomy - he favour of the public and private candela of the defewimt.

The Learned Counsel stated that be had affidavits of Members of the Company, that they had applied for and been refused inspection of their books and mun i ments; that they had access to some copies found in other places, and had reason to believe that the elections in the Corpoestion had gone wrong.

He wanted to—at least he took hold of her, and you see, please your Lordship, I thought he might as well let her alone. (Laughter.) Hobler—You mean that he insulted your wife, and like a man you resented It. Complainant—Yes; that is, I went up to him and said, what do you mean by that ere; so please you, my Lord, he makes no more to do but he gives me sit* a whop bang in the eye, that I seed nothing but fire for live minutes. The Loam Mawon—And what did he give you to Induce you to forgive him; how much money P Complainant--None at all; be's a poor man, and that's the reason I forgive him.

The Loan Liana—Weil he had his amusement cheap; he pulled about your wife and blackened your eye fora couple of pence; howe ver, if you are satisfied with what you have got, I am ; but I think your wife ought not to be much obliged to you. Mr. Mohler observed, that many cases had been beard in the Justice. room, in which the kerbearanee of the injured party was strongly ex. emptied.

GUILDHALL.—James Green, the driver of the cabriolet, No. 28, at. tended on summons, for misbehaviour towards a gentleman named Hamilton. The complainant stated that he called the defendant from the end of the Cheapside rank, neat to Newgate-street,_ stepped into his cab, and said, " Now drive on, make haste."
