BUXTON said, that he had been unevoid= ably abient front the House, on the different late oc casions on which the case of Mrt Hunt was brought, before it. He took that opportunity, therefote, of making a fen; observations on the subject; lest his si lence might be construed inro any undue motive, par= ticularly ai his name was in some measure connected with Ilchester jail. He would here bbsersre that the charges brought by Mr. Hunt against the Magisl trates of Somersetshire were most clearly established by the Report of the Commissioners. The practices which were carried on in that jail by the Governor were of a most cruel nature. It appeat-ed from the Report, that for some trifling deviation from the re gulations of the prison, a pistol bad been applied to the head of a prisoner by the Gov ernor . That he also loaded a prisoner witlrheavy irons ; and when the Commissioners came to exantibe the otse, they ordered the irons to beitruck off, and found then% to have made sueh an•lmpression, • that if they were confirmed much longer the prisoner's life would be in • danger. Another case ref torture was that of Mary Cuer and her Child; whole only sustenance for two days was bread ti'd water out of a bucket: • Thar was a case of the greatest tyrannv—(Heor, hear). — The Hon. Gentleman instanced other cases of cruelty, as stated in the Report cif the Commissioners, and, front those facts, concluded that the charges pre ferred by Mr. Hunt were completely made but. He was of opinion that his Majesty's Ministers ouslit to give orders for the prosecution of the guilty laden--; Another ooisclusion which 'he drew from - the facts ):*s 111%i ,* • - • - 77 - -,-.-- 7., • : ltmaio in .

Two females, genteelly tlitosed, also waked upon her. fase was dtesaed in a white muslin dream, ornamented with lace, Leghorn bonnet, white veil, and a;very large plume of ostrich feathers. (hi getting out of her carriage, she called to the crowd, Oiling if any tall gentleman would assist her, as she had recently' brisk* her leg ? A gentleman stepped foiward and assisted bee into Court. When she entered, she waived her hand with aisetod grace, curtsied, and took her seat. The fat gentleman she called her cousin, and to whom she gave the name of Fitielatenee, stood beside her. The Insolvent'S debts amounted to se66ad, and her credits, or rather claims, amounted to £19,700, doubts ful, or bad debts ! Mr. HLATM opposed this Lady's discharge on the part of Mrs. Lonptaff and Mr. Jeans, on a preliminary objection, that she had not included hi her schedule a certain document relative to property. The Learned Counsel called Mrs. Lonptaff to prove the existence of the document. Air. Potioce objected to the course his Learned Friend was pursuing, but the Court overruled the objection. Mrs. Longataff then stated that she had seen in the Lady's possession whilst she lodged in her apartments, a paper which the Lady said was signed with the sign manual of his late Majesty, and which bequeathed to her the sum of £15,000, but that it w.s not to be produced till after his Majesty was dead. The Princess stated, that it was a paper directed " to his pre- .sent Most Gracious Majesty," and It was out of reverence for hint that she withheld it. It was, however, lodged with Mr. li.iyft,rd, a l'roctor in Doctors' Commons, fur the benefit of her credilors. She adopted this courae, because she had made re peattil applications to his Majesty, through Sir Benjamin Bloom field, and could not obtain a eatilifa ory answer. She always cor.sideved it as wkind of win; it was private paper signed by his late NlJj'esty, and witnessed by Lor Chatham and Mr. Dun ) ning.

DOI/ATTY..— lisizos-Ga atirx.—Such is the activity displayed by the Magistrates of this Office respecting this barbarous murder, that It was nearly twelve o'clock on Tuesday night helot e they gave over the private examination of witnesses; and afterwards the whole of the officers were dispatched all over London, on business connected with this mysterious affair, upon which they were engaged until t h ree yesterday morning. A great many persons wete summoned to attend yesterday from different parts of the town, and by half-past three in the afternoon, about sixteen different individuals underwent a separate and private ex amination. In the course of the afternoon a hackney-coach drove up to the Office door, in which were two prisoners, Henry Brookes and Henry Judd, in the custody of Read and two City Officers. Brookes is a good-looking young man, about 22 years of age, by trade a carpenter, and of reputable parents in Clerkenwell ; Judd is about 20, of abort stature, and is a hackney-coachman : they were both lodged in Giltspur-street Compter on Tuesday even ing, charged with a robbery. Brookes was tried some time ago at the Old-Bailey, for being concerned in the robbery, to a large amount, in trinkets and ;everts, committed in Arundel -street, Strand, and acquitted. The prisoners were taken into the room before the Magistrate, and underwent an examination. The bag which contained the property of the deceased, and was left behind, was produced—it was made of canvas, and resembled a bag used on ship-board for holding bread, but supposed to have been lately used by a carpenter, as some shavings were attached to the inside ; it was marked on the outside G 7, and a B uncle& neath. The prisoners could not be identified, and were re manded back to the Compter, for further examination. Bovr-Sistaai.—Jahn Gate, underwent a second examination yesterday, charged, on his own confession, of having murdered Mary Beagle, hi the month of May, 1815. He now declared, that having been confined in prison, on several charges of de sertion, be contrived the tale of his being a murderer, to get' away from the Isle of Wight to London. Sir Mesta Re Beans committed him for another examination. A very fine-looklog young man, habited in a strange sort of semi-marine dress • (something between that of a seaman and a labourer), who gave his name nowt Selby, was brought np on a charge of assaulting a watchman named Fitzgerald on his duty, and biting his fingers to the bone as he was taking hint to the watch-house. The defendant, whose manners were infinitely superior to his dress, said he was extremely sorry, and hoped the Magistrate would not detain bins, for he should be ruined if he did. lie added, that he was the son of a highly-respectable and worthy M.listrate. Mr. IslaNsuett said it was time his career et fully was stopped ; and, with respect to his rank in life, he (Mr. Minshull) was always less inclined to be lenient with those whose education ought to have taught them to respect the laws: —The defendant was ordered to find bail.

Sir ROBERT WILSON moved that there be laid beforethe House accounts of the Duty on Hops for the year 1821, distin guishing the old from the new Duties,4Sce.--Ordered. Mr. NIABERLY said be rose to ask a question of the Right Hun. Gentleman, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ile had on a former night moved for the production of some papers which were necessary for the introduction of a maim) of which he had given notice (the examination of the Public Accounts) fur to-morrow. lie wished to know if those papers were ready to be laid on the table? The CHANCELLOR of the P.XCITEQUFit was unable to give an answer in the absence of his Hon. Frieed (Mr. Lushing. ton). When he arrived he would probably be' able to satisfy the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. ABERCROM BY presented a Petition from certain In habitants of the City of Edinburgh, against the Edinburgh Police' Bill. He said that he WAS anxious to take this opportunity of disclaiming any intention of reflecting upon the character of an Hon. Gentleman in the observations which he had made on a formernight respecting this Bill. Such an intention having been attributed to him, he thought it right to disclaim it. Mr. DUNDAS said, that he felt extremely gratified by the observations of the Hon. Gentleman, and was quite sure chat the charge originated in misconception. Mr. LA .11BTON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the Borough of Melton, in the county of York, praying for a revision of the Criminal Code. • LONDON BRIDGE WATER-WORKS. Sir WILLIAM cuirrls brought in a Bill 'for removing the London Bridge Water-works. On the question being put, that it be read a first time, Mr. BUTTEItWORTH said, that a part of the City was supplied with water by them, and that their removal would be attended with great •inconvenleoce. Sir F. OMiCIANEY thought that it would be very unjust that the proprietors of those Works should be dispossessed of ' them without compensation, to which they were entitled by an Act of Geo. 11. He would therefore move that the Bill b./ read that day six months. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS said, that if4he Bill were permit ted to go before a Committee, they might adjudge a fair com pensation. lie thought all differences could be more easily set tled there. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that a Committee would do justice to all parties, and be therefore hoped the Hou,e would not stop the Bill. lie thought the proprietors entitled to a fair compensation. Mr. IL SUMNER said he would hold himself in reserve to express his opinion at a future stage of the Bill. He thought it ought to go to a Committee, as the House had not at- present sufficient time to consider it. He. hoped the Hon. Member 'would withdraw his amenslment, on an understanding that the Bill should be cti , cussed on a second reading. ' Sir W. DE CR ESPIGN Y said that an experiment was pro posed to be tried by the Bill, which would. throw all the tights of the proprietors into the Thames. After a few words from Mr. C. Camas., Sir F. OMMANICY withdrew his Amendment.—The Bill was then read a first time. LOWER CANADA. Mr. MARRYATT presented a Petition from the Assembly of Commerce of Lower Canada, complaining that within the last twelve months the price of every article had decreased one half—that their exports had fallen from xsoopoo or £900,000 to a£500,000, and that the Itevenue on articles of consumption bad decreased Rom .11.50,000 to £70,000 or £BO,OOO, in conse quence of the exclusion of Canadian grain from the linglish• market, since the sth of October, 1820, imposed by the Cons Laws, and praying that all setts of Canadian grain may be at all times free for the consumption bf the United Kingdom. Mr. EI.LICE said, that he was sorry the restriction laws prevented the introduction of corn into this kingdom. The alteration on the timber duties was beneficial to Canada, and he regretted a 'similar alteration was not made in the Corn Laws : by allowing them the English market fur their Corn, they would'; be the better able to pay for English manufactures. From his I knowledge of Canada he could confirm all that was stated in the Petition. He thought some beneficial regulations should be in troduced to reconcile it to this country, as, from the reports in circulation, there was some danger of ultimately losing it. If the restriction was continued the consequences would be disas trous to the navigation of the Colonies. Ali, BENETT (of Wiltshire) said, the corn of Canada ought to be excluded, as a great part of the American corn would be exported to this country under the cover of Canadian corn, if its introduction were permitted. He thought it would be injurious to the Agriculture of England. Ile advocated the ptiticiple of equitable protection to the Colonies, which, he believed, i Canada possessed. I hlr. WILIOT expressed his conviction of the existence of ; the distress stated by the Petitioners, which was also in some degree-the effect o f t h e oper at ion Of the Act passed in 1815. He was of opinion ghat it ought to be submitted to the Agriculs ; tural Committee. l hlr. R ICA RDO said, justice renJered it necessary that *I ; tension should be paid to the complaints of the Petitioners; they eomplained•that we did not take their. articles on the same ; terms that they teak ours ; that we refuset: the admission of their corn, and subjected them to the iuconvenience of purchas ing their commodities iu this market.

Having said so much on the case as it regarded Mr. Hunt, hr: hop'..d the IL u e 11 mid indulge him with its atten tion while he would explain the connexion which his name had with Detester jail: At the desire of the House be had examined that jail, and had certainly given a favourable report of it: The Commissioners appointed by the House had also examined it, and they had given a very unfaiourable Report. If they differed in their Report from his representation, they were probably right, ant he was wrong. But it was possible that both were correct. It should be known by the House that the Commissioners examined the jail in Ikl2l, and he examined it in 1815. At chat period Sir J. P. Acland was the visiting Magistrate; and during his time everything was as it ought to be ; but great alterations had been made since that time. Another difference betsteen the Reports was, that the Commissioners' Report included all parts of the ' prison except the manufactory ; his Report touched the manufactory only ; so that they reported all except that which was solely the subject of his ex amination. Raving said so much in vindication or himself, lie hoped the House would excuse him if he made some observations on the sufferings of hini whose name was so often before the House. When the Judges of the King's Bench had fixed on Ilaes ter jail for the impris:mment of Mr. Hunt, they had no reason to suppose it was not the most correct jail in the kingdom. The sentence of confinement which they passed on him was that of thirty months, in a wholesome and healthy jail. With respect to that; point the Judges were deceived, and the facts stated in the Commissioners' Report plainly • shewed that ' there was an aggravation of puMelment ssh:cli was not intended by the Court of King's Bench—(Hear). —lt was indeed more aggravated when the house would consider that, out of six hundred prisoners confined in the jail, four hundred had been afflicted with sickness in consequence of thedampness of the situation and other causes.—The Honourable Mem.; ber then adverted to the copy of the evidence takes on the Inquest of James Bryan:—'fhe verdict in that ease was; that the deceased died by the visitation of Gorr; but that his death was accelerated by the dampness of the rooms to which he was confined, It appeared from that evidence, that the rooms in the orison had a great depth of water from the low situation of the place. But it was in tlitit very jail, and in those damp room', the t • fr. Nunt was con fined. It was clear that the Ju es, in passing semi tence, never intended such sever rot . punishment.— If Mr. HUnt were condemned t wear out the term of his imprisonment in that tmison so drs:ribed by the Report and by the evidence, he would suffer a great injustice. He hoped that Government would take the subject into its consideration, and h,: trusted the Right Honourable Secretary (Mr. Peel) would direct his attention to it.
