The Annual Indemnity Mill, and the bilk Bounty Bill, were read a second time. Respecting Bailey's Divorce Bill,the Loan CHANCELLOR hav ing made smite observations upon the evidence, some of the wh innies were again ezarnired. Jane Wudeu, a servant in the house of Mrs. Batley ' s brother, deposed, that ste lint suspected the infidelity of that Lady, from the change hi her appearance during her husband's absence. Witness obsessed that she became plumper and fuller than usual. she bad communicated her suspicions to Elizabeth Scott, une of Mrs. Bailey's tenants, but aster mentioned them to her own master or mistress, or to Balky. Elisabeth neon had acquainted her with ocher circumstances, that *warmed these suspicions.--They are not of a nature to be made public. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked the witness, whether, ac c o rding so her evidence before the Ecclesiastical Court, she could now swear, that Mrs. Bailey was visibly and apparently with child begun the return of her husband?. Witness answered that she was so. ....- Being questioned as to whether she supposed that Mrs. Bailey's situation must be apparent to every one, she could not take upou herself to answer positively. Her size wee very different front what lt usually was. She was naturally of a good Aso, but not Inclined to be lusty. Mr. Baiky's cook was nett called—she stated that her mis tress grew large two or three moths before the return of the Colonel. When be returned. Mrs. Bailey was at the Assizes ball in Taunton; being sent for, she time to meet her husband. Witness was resent when they met. and their meeting was very comfortable. She supposed her at that dins to be about three =oaths gone with Mild. Elizabeth Scott and Mary Baker, who were also servants in the family. described the appearance of the lady to be visibly e nlarged, hut they could sot undertake to say that all persons most have remarked it, ee that them who had seen her before, and after the alteration in ter appearance, must bare ascribed it to the PAW which they bad assigned. Mr. Dodd, a farmer in the neighbourhood, proved that he bad frequently seen Mrs. bailey walking with Lieutenant Kelly in the Bean Held as late as dee o'clock at sight. He observed' them panieslatly on one occasion in the month of August. They walked arm In arm in the same held, hat be saw nothing fur . cher, for they woe disappeared mein the bean stalks, Which were then grown about Bs feet high. Hs found the nee( inurai PRICII S ing that the beans wet* trodden down, but amid we say Mai they had done it, as the soldier went frequently into t+•e field. The additional evirlence thus given. was ordered to be printed, and the fun her consideralne of the Bill deferred. SEDITIOUS PAINTINGS NIX. Lori Viscount SIDNIOU l'H moved the first reading of the Seditiousideetings Bill. The Bill having been read a first ume, and ordered to be printed ; his Lordship said, as the prints worthd be on the table tomorrow, he was desirous then to move the second reading, but if any Noble Lord objected to to-morrow, he had no objection to poetpone the second rending till Thursday. Lord HOLLAND hserved, that it was a Bill of very ergisidera:r;e importance, affecting, as it did very materially, fie most valuable rights of the sabjec!. and he tharrefore thought it ought not to be hurria.ci through the H0 , .:c0. The other House had besides had it before them for a lurtnig!:t, and undoubtedty in their Lorthhips' House the second teading of a Bill could not be regularly fixed tali the prints were on the table. Thursday would be txtreotely inton venient tri him indiv ideally, but he thought the it. cond reading ought not to be moved at any rate be fore that day. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, said, the provisions of the Bill were matter of notoriety, and not f-ing aware of any objection to the principle of the Bid, he bad thought the discussion might take place on toe clauses of it in the Committee. He eras aware th tt the second reading or a Bill could not be regularly appointed until the prints were upon the table, but this objection might be obviated by an undcrstandin;: on both sides., He had, however, no objection to postpone the second reading till Thursday—he could -wit consent to defer it longer. Earl GROSVENOR said, he was not exactly aware what could be designated as the principle of the Bill ; but it might become an important question whether the Bill ought not to be divided into two, and in this view the question oa the second reading might give rise to a matenal discussion. The Lords were ordered to be summoned for Thursday, with the understanding the second read ing should then be moved.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Ac a quarter before four o'clock the SPEAKeII took the Chair, and stated that the H►uee had been to the House of Peers and had !stied the Royal Assent given to several putlic and Private Bills, for which see the Lords.

The Sheriffs of London presented a Petition from die Lnrel Mayor, Aldei men, and C-mtrion Council of London, praying that the House would not saoc• tion, by their votes, the existence of State Lotteries in future. After a few words from Mr. LYITELTON, ex pressive of the satisfaction he felt at the presentation of this Petition, and of his hopes that it would be followed by similar ones from the other Corporate Towns of the Kingdom, the Petitien was t, ad, and ordered to lie upon the table ; as was also, a second, comolaining of the evil consequences produced by Mock Auction.. Mr. M. A. 'L'AYLO ft brought in a B:11 for the purpose of improving the Pavenients of the Metro. polii, which was tead a first time. In answer to a question put by Mr. CALVCItT, tf:e Honourable Member said, the Bill was precisely similar to the one introduced last Session ; that though some reduction of the penalties might be deemed advisable, the sense of the checrent Parishes was unanimous with regard to the main object. His intention was to propose the second reading on Wed nesday ; and then, it there should be no objection, to move its commitment on Friday. A Person from the Pist-Otitt presented the usual Annual Returns of the Arrears and Balances in the hands of the Deputy Postmaster on the sth of Ja nuary, 1817. Mr. CURWEN presented a Petition from the Pa fish of Coppin, in Essex, praying for some redress under the grievous oppression of the Poor Rates.

The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House on the East India Trade Act.
