NAVAL ASYLUM. POLE rose, agreeably to notice, to move .tin papers connected with this establishment. Lpers, of which he wished the House to be in ion, were a copy of a Memorial from Doctor Keene, formerly Surgeon of the Ville de the Commissioners of the Naval Asylum ; ?y of a Letter from the same Gentleman to the ;sioners, dated 27th May, 1807, inclosing a .te in his favour from the. Transport Board. Ted there could hardly be any apology neces r his troubling the House on a subject con •ith that meritorious class of men, the Navy of whom Dr. Keene was one. He was the House would not lend a deaf ear to appli :oming from such a quarter. On the contrary, assured, when the merits, sufferings, and pri , of that useful 'Jody were considered, that the would feel jealous of any seeming neglect passed upon them, and would throw open the the House to any application which they ye to make. In the statement made on this 2y a Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Rose), irmer night, it excited considerable surprise in C. Pole) to learn that no Memorial from .eene had been received by the Commissioners, -ime of _the appointment of Surgeon to the ishment, and that no' Memorial had been re ' from any person on this subject, but from one :lined relinquishing his private practice. He ~shed at the time that there was a miFtake.in .ssertion, and he was now fortified in that eon being in possession of a Memorial from Dr. wesented to the Commissioners four months to appointment by his Majesty to the situation :ion. The Memorial was presented in April and the appointment did not take place till It was necessary, therefore, that the House !ome to some decision on this point, and it !ssary also that the papers should be.before tse, that it might be able to contrast th 6 time Mentotial was received, with the datv of the ttment. If, on the present occasion, the papers - 3r were refused, be believed it would he the tstance, where any evidence 4ecessat:Y to protect rights, and naval service of the country, :hheld. He concluded by moving, That .tonal, letter, and certificate before descri'oed before the House." .USE said, he certainly did inquire, and was that previous to the situation of Surgeon to ibliJiment was disposed of, no application situation had been made by a person who .ed in the Navy. The nomination wAs actually March, and Dr. Keen's Memorial was not !d for some time after. Be had no el:,ection 7oductien of the papers in question, but he was that the House should also b. 2 in possess'on ef :nal date ef the appointment. He therefore That there be laid before the House a 'f the Appointment of Surgeon to the Naval several motions were then pot and agreed to. IRISH ILITIA. OHN NEWPORT rose, in cons , inence of ice he had lately given; to mccee for certa'n to explain certain hiceasisteacks in the mode of execution of. the Act passed in the latter end last Session, for raising the Militia in Ireland. that Act, the bounty given to volunteers in that ser vice was fixed at four guineas ; but instead of that being adhered to, bounties of 11', 15, or 16 guineas had been given, merely because these sums had been alluded to in a subsequent part of the Act. The Act directed, that the Lord Lieutenant shall order ves tries to assemble, to order an equitable assessment up on the particular parishes, but • such was the case, that after they had raised the tax, they ballotted the parishes. He Was at a loss to know upon what prin ciple this could be done, since Parliament had only authorized one option in this particular. Another 'objection to the mode of assessment was, that the whole burden was imposed upon the resident tenants, and not upon the landholders. This he conceived to be perfectly unfair, and tended to render them dissa tisficd. His object was, that the community should , I , ave no ground for saying that they were aggrieved. If the ballot be at all to be resorted to, the first prin ciple was, that the apportionm_ent should be upon fair and regular returns made at - small distances of time, so that it might be known that no parish or disurict, goes beyond the fair proportionment of the general quota. He understood from unquestionable autho rity, that the Lists• of Ina-add I7 1 1)5 had been re sorted to for raising the apportionment in 1807. He wished the House to assert its own rights, by taking these matters into Consideration, and acting in con formity to the principles u£ the Irish Union. He need scarcely observe to them, that power had been always found to he susceptible of greater abuses, in propor tion as it is exercisod in a distant part of the empire. It was for that reason that he now aimed at a correc tion of those abuses which were more prevalent in Ireland than in Great Britain. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved for Copies of all Orders or Proclamations Issued by the Lord Lieu tenant or the Privy Council of Ireland, directing the mode of rai sing men for the Militia, under the provision of the late Act of his present Majesty; either by ballot or by enrolling them as Vo lunteers. To this . rhotion no material objection was stated ; but the observations of 'the Right Honourable Mover occasioned a conversation of considerable length, in which Sir Arthur Wellesley, Colonels Barry,Vereker, and Bagwell, stated various particulars in answer.— In the'course of this conversation :t was stated, that as the Executive Power had only acted according to the authority of the Act, it was in the Right Honou rable Mover's Power to have objected to the particu lar pro.visions.of it, at the time it was passing through the House. It was also stated by Colonel Barry, that to his knowledge new lists had been made out for the counties of Cavan, Wexford, and Carlow. Mr. WINDHAM defended the arguments of Sir John Newport, and said that it was not yet too late to rectify the act in its P articular provisions, as well as to rectify the mode of its execution. Sir JOHN NEWPORT added, that he was ready to prove his assertion—that the old Lists of 1793 andl797, had in general been used under the act of 1807 , which, for various reasons, must prove most un j•ust. The first motion being agreed to, the same Right Honourable Gentleman then Moved for various otber necessary documents connected with this subject. all of which, after some occasional observations and amend ments, were also ordered to be produced. COL DRAT 11-P lEL DS - PRISON. Mr. SHERIDAN said, that he yesterday had very!' reluctantly given way to the advice of some of his friends, in withdrawing a petition which he had presented. He was convinced, that he would have e been fortified by the high authority of the Chair, in I saying, that the door of the House could not be thrown open too wide to petitioners. They ought not to be .turned away merely on points of form. If he had presented a petition from any other description of per sons, he would' suppose Calico-Primers, complaining of hardships affecting their trade, surely it would not be contended that such a petition ought to be rejected, I merely because it might be discovered that some of the persons who signed it had very lately been in the; business, but were not engaged in it at that moment.' It would not be said, that the petition would not be received because these men were described as Cali-o- Printers instead of late Calico-Printers. It appeared' to him exactly the same with repect to the present pe-; titioners, who were Grand Jurymen, and had visieed the prison in that capacity. He held, however, now , in his hand, a petition from the Foreman of that Grand Jury, and the others described in the manner which had been suggested. He must state to the House that this I Foreman visited the prison very unwillingly, and merely from a sense of his public duty. lie doubted' whether the petition he preented yesterday was sufH- 1 ciently in form, and cn that point he wished for the deci.ion of the Chair. The SPEAKER thought the Honourable Gentle man would do best to acquiesce in what appeared to i be ;he sense of the House last night. Mr. SHERIDAN, then said, that he should ac-1 quicsce, although with reluctance ; but he should not be so ready to give way to t he opinion of his friends on a. future occasion. The .petition 'of Alexander, Stevens, Esq. late Foreman of the Grata Jury, was then brotteht tip and ; read: Tliesubstatiee of it. was the same as that pre- I yesterday oft behalf of himself and the Grand' Jui-"yi" loStated, that the loaves were found deficient in v,-eight, from an . ounce and a half to two ounces ; that the weights 'and scales were both false ; and that persons not convicted 'were shut up in narrow un wholesome cells, where no air could come' in except through the key holes. - It also stated a letter written by Mr. Sheriff Phillips to Mr. Mainwaring on the subject. Mr. SHERIDAN moved that the petition should be laid on the table, and hoped Gentlemen would take into consideration the report of the year 1800 on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to. the petition lying on .the table, but as to the report of the year 1800, lie still retained his fernier opinion on that subject. He did not wish to make captious objections merely,on points ofform; hut still he would say, that in the case supposed by the Right Honourable Gentleman, if a number of persons representing themselves as calico printers, presenting a petition to the House on a matter affec ting their trade, and that it was discovered that they did not then be-long to that trade, and that their interests were not affected by the matters stated in their peti tion, think it a proper ground for refusing to receive eleir that they had not given a true dtscriptioll of themselves. He must, however, say =• ma de to him upon the subject, h e tion the contrary way ; for ' anion was another word about the petition. ••When eeprivate quiescence of Anie:ica, wee , v, pr it ef. h erece to the . the opportuni y w a o n u s l were d fe d, rni t s ta h t ith ifit v, h , e ith ß t i i g i !at fo l - I rn mot me rra of laying the case before the Secretary of the Home have of securing thenv,elveo 'b an k s c cr iP u l i e e ' er i s n , Department, his influence should not be wanting to the effect of increate r eg e ag osotleman i Noble Friend (Lord Hawkesbury) had since told advantages 'she could recommend the subject to a speedy examination.
