The SPEAKER stated, that the Petitioners against the n , turn for Great Grimsby had not entered into the n cognizance, ; and that the Petition v. oaid of course fall to a t ground. A Petition wait presented from the Hon. F. Powsosar, eon, plaining of an undue return for the County of Cork. On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, it was ple b ! that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to the ed of bruary. A new writ was ordered for the Borough of Clkberoe, in eh room of Lord CASTLCILLAGIi i who having also been r ,, t ,„... a for the County of Down, had made his e l ect i on for tie iaT' plate.

MOORE obtained leave to itring in a Bill to provid e for the more effectual Recovery of Small Debts in the Borougi, of Colchester. WEST-INDIA TRADE. A Member, whose name we could not learn, wished to ask the Noble Secretary of State (Ca& reagh), whether our naval force upon the America n station had yet been augmented ? and also, whethe r any measures had been adopted, or were in contem• plation, for giving facilities to our intercourse with Jamaica and the other West-India Islands ? He was induced to put the first question, he said, from uoto. rious circumstances ; and the latter, in consequence of the inconveniencies created in the mercantile world by the nature of our communications with the West. India Islands. There had not, he said, i,n fact bent any arrival by packet from Jamaica since September last, and the last letters brought by it were of no liter date than the sth of August. Of this delay, all who had connections with that island had reason to corn. plain. He trusted some arrangement would be made to guard against the recurrence of such an event; and also to provide, that in future our trade should be convoyed not only to the Windward Islands, as at present was the practice, but to the Leeward, which precaution was become necessary from the state of our relations with America. The Hon. Member con cluded by stating, that if these two objects were not speedily enquired into, and proper measures adopted, he should feel it his duty, at an early day after the recess, to bring forward a motion on the subject. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that he was un able to give the Hon. Gentleman that information. respecting our communications with Jamaica, which he required ; but he would intimate the Honourable Gentleman's desires to the First Lord of the Adsni.• : rally, by whom he had no doubt every attention would be given to the subject. As to the state of our naval force on the American station, it had been highly respectable, even previous to a rupture being content. plated with those States ; and, as soon as such an event was looked forward to, no time was lost in sending out an augmentation to it. No fears, there fore, need be apprehended for the safety of our trade in that quarter. Indeed, the loss there for some time past had been comparatively trivial. THE REGENT'S CANAL. Mr. MANNING obtained leave to bring in a Bill for repealing and amending the Regent's Canal Act, ' CLERKS OF THE VICTUALLING OFFICE, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT wished to know from the Noble Lord opposite, whether Government were disposed to grant any relief to the Clerks in the Victualling Office, whose case he had mentioned lazx Session, and who, after purchasing their situations froru.4.ord Barham, who was then at the head of the Admiralty, had been deprived of part of their moo luments ? He thought their case one of extreme hardship. He understood that representations on that subject had been made from the. Navy Office to the Board of Admiralty, but no answer had been re turned : and if that denial of justice continued, be would feel it his duty to call again the attention of the House to that subject. Lord CASTLEREAGH was sorry to be unpre pared to answer the Honourable Baronet's questions. He had no doubt, however, but the Admiralty would pay due attentioe to the case of the persons he had mentioned. In the mean time he hoped that the Honourable Baronet did not mean to cast the slight est imputation on the character of the Noble Lord (Barham) who was at the head of the Achnirdlty when the circumstance complained• of had taken place, and who was above doing any act which could savour of injustice or corruption. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT replied, that the fact certainly implied a charge of a very serious nature against Lord Barham, who had certainly no right to sell those situations, and much less that of curtailing the emoluments, after having so sold them. Indeed he had once in contemplation to bring a specific charge'against the Noble Lord on that head. [Here. the subject dropped.] LOCAL TOKENS. Mr. GRANT enquired whether it was the intent Lion of Ministers to enforce the provisions of the Lot cal Token Act, and thereby to inconvenience the. country in the present scarcity of silver, and the com paratively limited distribution of brass Tokens ? The SPEAKER observed, that Members new to the House were not aware of the established rules re specting questions and notices, and more particularly that no argument wa s allowed on a question being put as a matter of courtesy. • Mt. GRANT apologised. Mr. VANSITTART replied, that though he fully approved the principle of the Local Token, Act,. yet it *as intended to postpone its operation for some months, he thought till about Midsummer, in order that time might be given for the adoption of tne4: sures to ensure a more liberal supply ot &Ink Tokenst Adjourned to the 2d o Fcbruart. ~~ .. lan Stsi Pli ds 40601 Th &obi logra coast Sigh jib da7 is
