Cleghorn and others, judgment wa, poctponed till to-morrow. •rhe Subsidy Bill, the Irish Offices Bill, the Irish Sugar Bill, and the Scots Spirit License Bill, passed through Committees, and were reported. _ _ _ On the motion of Lord Rzoesom.r, his Lordship's Bill for Amending the Act of last Session, for the Relief of insolvent Debtors in England, was read a second time, and committed for to-morrow. _ _ • The 60th Regiment Augmentation Bill, the London Militia Service Bill, the Militia interchange Bill, and the Militia Ser. Jeanie Bill, were read a second time, and committed for to•mar row.—Adjourned till to-morrow ( t his day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. A Petition was presented from the Debtors in Worcester Jail, praying relief.—Ordered to be on the table. . Mr. ROSE presented a Petition, signed by 6 or 7COO Marin factorers and Artisans in the Cottitty of Angus, praying for such alterations in the Act of sth of Elizabeth as to the wisdom of Parliament might seem fit. The enfotcement of the Act would be very disadvantageous to manufacturers, and the Courts of I.aw had generally, as far as they could, set their faces against its strict execution: yet a total repeal would Jimo be very incon venient, particularly as it acted Apothecaries and. Attornies. All he should then propose vAs merely that the Petition be re cetved.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. PROTHEROE brought up a Petition from the Debtors in Bristol Jail, praying rehef.—Ordered to lie on on the table. A person from the East-India Company presented at the Bar an Account of the l'rices of Sugar at the East-India Company's sales, (exclusive of the duty) for the last ten years; also, an Ae count of the Qu7ntities of Sugar imported by them into Great Britain, for the last ten years: both which were ordered to be printed. The Committee on the Lace Frame Bill was postponed to ThUrsday. '1 he Madder Bill was read athirdtime and passed. The Reporo of the Exchequer-bills Bill, and the Scotch Salt Bill, were severally agreed to, and the third readings ordered for to morrow. The House went Into a Committee to consider on the East- Intlia Regulation Bill ; and on the Report being brought up, Mr. Ltv-lilts GTO N obtained leave to bring in a Bill for that purpose. Mr. AR BU IHNOT brought up several Papers relative to the expenses of repairing Road 4, Bridges, &c. in Scotland.—Ordered to be printed. The Sugar Bounties Drawback Bill went through a Commit tee. The Ripon to-morrow. Sir J. MACKIN 1 . 0514 moved for a return of Deaths and De sertions in the regular army, for the last three years; distin guishing the several stations, aad the names of the Commanding Officers —Ordered. 'I be East India Trade Regulation Amendment Bill, and the Militia Extension Amendment Bill, were read a first, and or dered to be read a second time to-morrow. The East India Duty Bill went through a committee; the re port was received, and ordered to ►e taken into further coubide. ration on i'hursday next. The Sun Fire Ofilce Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to•morrow. On the motion for the third reading of the Local Militia Extension Bill, Mr. LONG proposed a rider, providing that Ser jeants who had served partly in the Army and the Regular Militia, and completed in the Local Militia the period of 20 years, should be allowed the same Pensions as were granted by this Bill to Serjeants serving in the regular Militia. The proposition was agreed to. Sir H. MONTGOMERY expressed a wish to know from the Noble Lord on the Treasury Bench, whether it was intended to make any provision of this nature for the Serjeants of the Yeomanry Corte in Ireland, whose services were notoriously so de serving ? Lord CASTLEREAGH bore testimony to the merits of the Yeomanry Corps of Ireland, who were not only willing to attend during the period of train ing prescribed by law, but always ready to extend the period and nature of their services according to the wishes of Government. The Noble Lord added, that the subject alluded to by the Hon. Daronet, would be taken into-consideration. • POLICE MAGISTRATES. Mr. H. ADDINGTON, in moving for a om mittee to consider the expediency of granting an in crease of salary to the Police Magistrates, observed, that these mentoricms Offsets had had uo advance of salary*ce the year 1 4 792, when the salary or e a c h was settled at £4OO a.year, which sum was at pre sent obviously inadequate. It was clearly desirable that such selections should be made as to insure that these offices should be filled by persons of respects. bility and competent intelligence; and his Noble Re lation at the head of the Home Department, who was alive to the consideration, concurred with him in thinking that an advance of salary to these Officers was peculiarly just and necessary. There could in deed, he thought, be no difference of opinion on the subject. The Right Hon. Gentleman added, that the proposed advance should be such as to raise the salary of each Magistrate to £6OO a-year. The House having resolved itself into the Com mittee,. the motion was agreed to, and the House being resumed, the Report was ordered to be brought up to.morrow. DUTIRS ON BRANDY. The House went into a Committee to take into consideration the act of 49 of the King, relative to the duties on brandy. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that, from the state of warfare in which. we had so long been engaged, it had been found necessary not to allow the importation of brandy, except for exportation, and liberty was given to our merchants to bond and warehouse these brandies till such time as they could in that way be disposed of. This was principally done for the purpose of encouraging our own colonial produce, particularly rum. The course of the war had, however, of late, taken a turn much more favourable to this country than it had ever before been ; a market for our colonial produce was now opened ; and there was no necessity to keep the bran dies that had been imported for exportation, expressly tied up as they now were by the said act. By suf fering the brandies imported for exportation, and now bonded and warehoused, to be used for home con sumption, on the payment of 2s. a gallon additional duty, great conveniences would accrue to the mer chants, and a very considerable advantage to the re venue. He wished, therefore, to propose a regulation to enable those who had imported brandy for expor tation, to dispose of the same for home consumption, on the payment of 2s. a gallon additional duty ; and he concluded by moving a resolution to that effect Mr. BROWN said, he had long understood it to be a leading principle of policy in the Government of this country, to give every degree of encourage ment to the produce of our own colonies, by exclud ing, as far as possible, the produce of the enemy. By laying heavy duties, which amounted almost to a prohibition, on brandies, we encouraged rum, the produce of our West India planters and merchants, who had sffered very severely for many years past.— For his own part, his individual objection might not have impelled him to say a word on the subject; but he could not so easily pass over the reading interests of such a body of men as the West India merchants. This was the foundation of his bjection to the pro position, and he must protest against any deviation from the principle of the policy he had alluded to. Mr. ROSE said, he never understood there was any such principle of policy laid down or adopted by this Government as that mentioned by the Honour. able Gentleman who had just sat down. During the time these brandies were imported, the West India planters were unquestionably labouring► under great distress ; and, therefore, the brandies were only al lowed to be imported for exportation : but now, when .circumstances were so much changed for the better, and when the markets were opening every day for the disposal of every species of our colonial produce, he could not conceive that the West India merchants had any claim or right to prevent Government from obtaining a large addition to the revenue by the ad ditional duties proposed. Mr. PROTHEROE was in favour of the measure. • Mr. MA RRYAT said, that if he thought the measure would be an injury to the West India mer chants, he would certainly oppose it ; but the quan tity of brandies in - the countcy did not amount to more than 6000 puncheons ; and in the course of last year Government had purchased 22,000 puncheons of rum. He thought it therefore a fair me..sure. The Resolution was then agreed to, and a Bill or dered to be brought in thereon.—Adjourned. ST. ANDREW'S DAT. Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, the Scottish Corporation held a General Court of the Governors, at their Hall, in Crane -court, Fleet -street, as usual, for the election of their annual Officers, to serve for the year ensuing, agreeably to their Charter ;—when his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE was chosen President ;—the Earl of Aberdeen, Earl of Rothes, Lord Dundas, Admiral Lord Keith, and Sir James Sha we, M. P. were elected Vice Presidents ; and Alexander Gordon, Esq. re-elected Treasurer. The Court afterwards adjourned to the City of Lo don Tavern, for the purpose of dining, where the friends of the Institution began to assemble before five o'clock,-and before six more than six hundred N oble men and Gentlemen had arrived. Dinner was served up, and shortly after six o'clock the Duke of Clarence and St. Andrews entered the great room, and was re ceived with repeated bursts of applause. His Royal Highness was accompanied by his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, the Spanish Ambassador, the Lord Bishop of Chester, Lord Melville, the Honourable W. Dundas, Honourable Captain Lindsay, Lieute nant General Sir James Leith, the Sherif% Captain Carter, Captain Kinlock, &c. &c. A Scotch Highland Piper preceded the procession, - playing the national air of O'er the hills and farawa'— it was rapturously applauded by the company—Du ring the repast the company were cheered from the orchestra by the tune of Kale brose of "bid Scotland.— After dinner the Bishop of Chester pronounced a brief and appropriate blessing ;—and the cloth being re moved, The Duke of CLARENCE rose, and after a short and prefatory eulogium on the benefits resulting front the reign of his Majesty, now unfortunately obliged to resign the regal power into the hands of his Son, pro posed the health of " The King." He begged it might be drank in respectful silence, with which re quest the company willingly complied. The next toast was that of 44 The Prince Regent." The Duke of Clarence remarked, that be felt it neces sary to say little in its recommendation. In the pre sent situation, this country, while its armies were every where triumphant b had set a glorious example, hot less gloriously followed by the sett of Europes those 1113 W assembled could not refuse to receive she toast with great satisfaction. He therefore proposed. that it be drank with three time, three. The toast Was received and drank amid loud ant enthusiastic acclamation, and several favomite thea.. trical singers electrified the comps) , with the song of," The Prince and Old England," and the band in the orchestra played " Oh lend Leuie Gordcx hawse," in a manner that deserved peat commendation. " The Queen and Royal Family" followed, the ban, playing " The flowers of the forest." The Duke of CLARENCE again rose And observe 4 that he should now suggest a toast that he knew would need no introduction, but he cook! not avt.:,i calling the attention of the assembly to the preset:; situation of Europe. Four years ago he had tlf4 pleasure of attending the Anniversary of St. An drew ; at that time Great Britain was struggling al. most single-handed against the enemy of liberty : what was now the happy result ?-1)14.1 sfie now eta:. tend alone, unaided ?--No : all Europe. by the co! Ifession of our foe, was now fighting on the same sidl. and for the same end. Even last year, promising its was the termination of the catnimign, still Russia ha .1 to mourn over a confl.tgrated capital whine a t ' triumphed over a defeated euvmy. But within the last two months the power of BoHap:trie had receis a fatal blow ; the death stroke had hem inti:cted 01 his tyrannyeat Lf!ipsic .);ri troops had heel:: scatterel, and their leader, their Emperor, had been compelle,l to fly even to his capital. By whose exertions next to those of this country, these events had !:en az. complished, it was needless to inform the meetinr, and if he had not mentioned the name of the ithvi• dual sooner, it was because he feared that the rap. turous bursts of contiautd applause that would suc ceed, would prevent him fram being heard•itt finally announcing as a toast the " Emperor der of Russia." The apartment shook with the enthusiastic upro:it for some minwes, and the shouts of three times three were not distinguished amid the general acclamatior, which, reviving with every recollection ef the past, was long in subsiding. 66 The Emperor of Austria," was received with nearly equal . pleasure, after a very short address ; as well as 64 The Crown Prince of Sweden," and 46 The King of Prussia," who was described by the Duke of Clarence as ever the firm friend of Great Britain, bowing to unavoidable necessity under the yoke of BOnaparte. The Royal President apologised for having hitherto postponed a toast which had been often drank during the last five years with high applause, nor would the proportion be less on the present occasion ; it was 64 The Health of Ferdinand VII. and success to the cause of liberty in Spain." Although, by the wile: of our enemy, that unfortunate Prince had been torii from the arms of his people, that people had, during a long contest, in itself arduous, but more distress. ing because it devastated their native soil and de stroyed the very homes they were defending, main tained themselves with a fortitude which could tnly be supported by the justice of their cause. It was received with three times three, as well as the toast of 66 the Prince Regent of Portugal, and Its loyal subjects in Europe and America." The Duke of CLARENCE, in the nun* of the Spanish Ambassador, returned thanks to the corns pang. His Excellency, in a peculiarly expressive manner; drank the health of the company for his Royal Master. The Duke of KIM, in a short and neat speech, proposed 4 , the health of the Royal President," who had shewn himself, on all occasions, anxious to pr,;► mote the happiness of all classes, and not less of those who were on this joyful an..iversary convened.' The Duke of CLAKENCE expressed his acknowledg. ments, and assured the company, that the approba tion of honest men was the object of his ambition, and he was the more happy to receive it to-day, be cause,. by retrospection, it applauded his former ef forts. He then entered into the nature of this chi. city for the relief of those deserving objects whe, far from their native homes, were in distress, not aris ing from idleness, but from inability or misfortune. He boasted himself a Scottish Prince, and was happy that he had had an opportunity of seeing the Land of Cilia, and of tasting the 44 Bannocks 9' Barley-meal,' on which it mainly subsisted. If any thing were wanting to increase his pride at bearing a Scottish title, it would be supplied by witnessing the conduct of those natives of North Britain then assembled. _ His Royal Highness again rose, and observed, that he was likewise a Prince of Hanover, and rejoicing in the liberation of the ancient dominions of his vener able Father, he could not avoid giving " The loyal Hanoverians, and success to their struggle against tyranny," coupling with it the name of the Duke et Cambridge, who was immediately to proceed thither. The toast was received with reiterated shouts. " The Duke of KENT, Colonel of the Royal Scots," was the next toast proposed from the Chair, and after the•applauses had ceased, his Royal Highness re newed them by the unaffected modesty of his demea nour, in lamenting that he had not been able to com mand that portion of his gallant regiment which had fought at Vittoria and St. Sebastian's. He would willingly have joined the ranks to have partaken of the danger and of the glory of those splendid achieve menu. The next toast was the health of Sir James Leith, who had been thrice wounded in storming Sr. Sebas tian's. The General expressed his gratitude very warmly, but shortly : he was a soldier, not an orator; .his countrymen had flattered him by saying that he could fight, he would not deceive them by pretend ing that he could speak. " Lord Melville and the Navy" followed, which . was succeeded by " the Lord Mayor and the Com. merce of the City of London." Mr. Sheriff MARSH returned thanks is the absence of the Chief Magistrate. The health of the Bishop of Chester, and thanks to him for his admirable Sermon at Bow Church oa Thursday last, was then proposed, and received with acclamation. The Right Rev. Prelate very briefly assured the assembly of his anxiety to contribute as much as possible to the objects of the charity. The memory of the late Chaplain to the Corpora , tiop was also given, and after a few other toasts of little importance, his Royal Highness left the CiiAir at about eleven o'clock, and was succeeded by Sir 3. SHAWa q The company did not separate until a late hour. The subscriptions collected at the door were' numerous and considerable.
