The C.`eirloettire of the 0 iNER V IN, with a view to tumid+ the Public wish what may be 'cited upon as a correct and impartial Report of the whole of the ..teetkeirgi sloe• thy of 'react!, took the precaution to send regularly Into the Cann of Kong's dench lir eonfreesit Repos-fere. In the OBSERVEit Publication all superfluities will be retrenched; but the cantra dictions and corroborations of the principal witnesiwil will be par ticularly preserved, the conflicting testimony esrfeially nolutefl out, and the rronr pflints ni the evidence, with the F.oreches of &manse! oil both si les, and the Lord Chief Justice'. Chargv, will he given mock at ienrit. Minor circumstances will wither be neglected our overlooked. The whole will be attentively revised, and given as ono of the most complete and sati,lactory Reports ever pnblibhed. of the Swine of the teth of the !ate King, provide-I that banns should be published in the church be longing to the parish in which each of the parties dwelt, and by the eighth secti.m, a marriage folem nised without the publication of 1)11 , 1.4 er licease was declared t ,- ) be null and void—the tenth c'..tes-, ne vertheless, interdicted the reception of any evis!!!cce as to non-inhabitancy, in any suit touchieg the va of the marriage. This latter provision ne casioned, in fact, the great.ar part of the evi!--bat re wets not dispcsed to disturb it, for the mie chief w , tuld be incalculable if the legitimacy of ; children depended on nice questions of prrochill houndary, or if they could be impeached on loose evidence of non-residence ; yet as the law new stands, the force of the first part of the en.izi ment is readily evaded, and the whole spirit of the Mirriace Act, in a great measure, defeated by t:te v dhltty li the tenth section gives to a marriage vilerinised w;thout any publication of banns in the parishes wheec the gar ties are actnitlly resident, thereby afforiiog facili ties to miners to intermarry without detection, and even to the frequuley of marriages highly iacestuous, a most revolting lilt t.f w-ich,o, soktnnised, could be readily a:ism:led to. Tim obj...ct of this Bia is to seek some prevention of such evils (rear; in a *sera], religious, and political view) with the least disturb• ante pouible to the existing laws; andperhaps nothing would be more likely to effect this purpose than to enjoin that a notice, expressing-the names, condi tion, and tesidence of the parties, should be signed and attested upon oath by one of them, the parish , clerk being authorised to administer such oath for that purpose. To make it compulsive on the offi dating minister to make an adequate inquiry in every populous parish, would be to impose as task often scarcely possible ; this provision . , therefore, vith an obligation upon the clerk to deliver one copy of the notice to the minister, and another to one of the pa- I rish officers, within a limited time previous to the first publication of the banns, with a small limited I reward, 46 an encouragement to parish officers on the detection of fraudulent statements, const;tuted the principal features of this attempt to give eff.:ct to the spirit of the old Statute. He should not, in the pre sent Session, urge the Bill further than the second reading, that it might be printed, and operate as a notice of ulterior legislation in the ensuing Stesion of Parliament ; in the mean time the several diocesan Prelates would probably consider what regulations might be most advantageously adopted int their part, in concurrence with the proposed enactments ; and although this proceeding did nut go the whole length, it, nevertheless, might still produce great good—eat poddans jtrotSre kiau—and in this opinion he had the sanction of some of the highest ecclesiastical authorities. by great legal abilities, had lately defeated the inta uso.es orpr in for which spi es hat: been employed to gain tlie;e h:ood money—Vi 2r, tear ) Inte SlT°r KER. said, he was SW/ y to be under nec. , h."y ot remind:nit the Hismitsrable Bafonet, !Oa.

He thought the tax thus imposed upon authors most barbarous and disgraceful. Lord PALMERSTON said, that the question was nut to bring in a bill to modily the Act of 1814, but to repeal it enure!). He contended, that it that Act imposed a tax upon Authors, it also gave them great advantages in copyright Sir FRANCIS BURDETT thought the subject ease lesporitrof to be gni ride ef without pore sane:- cser4tion. Why should eleven copies of works be liven gratis to Bodies who were fully able to pur chase them luar.) Mr. SMYTHE maintained, that the Act of 1814 had been passed in consequence of repeated petitions from Booksellers and Publishers, coMplaining of the unsettled nature of the laws respecting copyright. It was a question settled and decided to the satisfaction of all. Why should the Host. Baronet wish to rake up old embers? Mr. I'ONSONBY was not present when the ques tion had been discussed-in 1814. But he knew that the Act compelled authors to give eleven capita of their works, and that for the encouragement of lite rature! This was the first time that it was thought that forcing writers to give their works gratis, was encouraging their labours I—(liear.) But it always was in the IlittUfe of bodies corporate to receive every thing they could, and to give nothing in return. Mr. CROKER said, that the Act of Queen Anne, which gave the Copyright, was called an Act for the encouragement of Learning. It was not, therefore, the first time, that encouragement had been taken in that point of view. The Act of 1814, however, gave other encouragement to authors, as it extended the copyright to 28 years. Mr. BROUGHAM did not deny that the Act of Queen Anne was, to a certain degree, one to encou rage learning, but not on account of the number of copies given, but because it conferred a copyright. That Act, hot:ever, left it optional for authors to avail themselves of its advantages, or not—but that of 1814 compelled them to pay the eleven copies whether thee would or not. He wished the Univer sities to have good libraries, but let it be at their own expense, and not at that of the poorer party—let it be made a public burden, if thought necessary, and let the tax be paid by those who read, and not those who write books.—(Hear, luar.) Mr. FINLAY sepported the claims of the Uni. versities. The tax was not so heavy as it was sup posed—it amounted only to the price of pea and paper. Mr. C. W. WYNNE thought it necessary that the Act of 1814. should be revised, in consequence of the manner in which its provisions had been fulfilled.— Universities should not have the power a sending valuable works into the market at a lower price than the regular copies, and thus lower the sale of the works themselves. General THORNTON seemed to object to the estreeptiwaixiss of oaths 40 au- s-v,ln- - Sir JOHN COX HIPPISLEY, in reply, said that . he agreed with the Honourable General in thinking that the unnecessary multiplication of oaths was an evils but he would ask, was not. the abuse now sought to be remedied, a greater evil ? And WAS not a licen sed clerk of a parish 'as competent to be invested with such an authority in merely verifying a notice, as a comtvon excise officer in granting; a p:rmit to devour a few dozens ot wine? but in a Committee it would be best discussed, whether the parish clerk, in the first instance, er the Minister • in the might be roost advantageously infested with this authority. The attempt to remedy these serious evils ought at any rate to be tried, and he hoped and trusted it would find support in the wisdom of Parliament. The Bill was read a first and second time, and or dered to be printed. The House divided—For the motion Si A gain s t it 58—Majority against bringing in the BO 1. CLANDESTINE MARRIAGES. Sir JOHN COX HIPPISLEV, on presenting a Bill for the further regulation of marriages to be so lemnized after publication of banns, observed, that this Bill was founded on a Petition to Parliament, which he had presented in the course of the last Sin aloa, from a very numerous and respectable body of the Clergy of the Establishment iu the vicinity of Bath and Bristol, who complained of the ir.creasing 'prevalence of evasions of the Law as it now stands, and therefore cm-neatly prayed for the intervention of the Legislature. It was in the vicinity of great and populous towns where this evil was most prevalent, as they offered ;lie greatest facilities to evade the provisions of the &awe. Although the first section A SPIES AND INFORMERS. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT rose to complain of the system of employing spies and informers, those new allies of Ministers, which destroyed all coufidence between man and man. He wished to put a ques tion to the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) opposite, espe cially after hoeing seen that Noble Lord descend to become the apologist of that most notoriJus spy and informer, Thomas Reynolds, Esq. of Welbeck.street. Under the present circumstances, he should be glad to know, whether spits had the authority of Govern ment to make use sf the names of individuals, for the purpose of promoting acts of insuriectiosi, t.r to calumniate the character of those individuals ? It was now known that these wretches were autliotiztil by his Majesty's Ministets ; the 4 conduct, therefore, assumed more importance than when it did not hear the sanction of that authority. He was thus forced to take notice of the proceedings of a persou of the r name of Oliver, fully as respectable as Thomas Rey. nolds, Esq. of Welbeck.street ; for, like him, he was one of the authorized spies of Government. He had had it written in a private letter, and he found it Also stated in a Country Paper, that this spy had gone into the country, introducing himself with " .Sir F. Barlett': eralehmastr"-- (Loud cries of Hear, hest., hear, from the Ofiftruition.) He wished to know how far this Oliver had exceeded the authority given him by Go moment? or whether he had exceeded it at all in doing that ? But even if he had, those Ministers who out great rewards to the agents of this DCW sys tt:m, which, like the breath of the plague, spread dis trust and desolation into the heart of sociefy—thohe Micistets were still more culpable than the infamous ' wretches whom they used tor such base and atrocilius purposes. • It justice ruled the ball, the Noble Lord opposite would be tried with his allies, Castle and 1 , Oliver, for the only conspiracy that had been proved. one against the security and happiness ut the subjects of this kingdom—( Loa cries of Hear, hear.) But even those bltnistors must be senseless if they believed , diat their agents would not go beyond their instruc-. ttons. It was their interest to promote every kind of treason, if they could, for treason was their harvest, and without it their trade was at an end. Bat whe cher those spies exceeded their authority or nut, Mi• nisters were answerable for their otvn acts, and it , would be no palliative to say that they had gone be Fond their instructions. An intelligent Jury, aided TITIIEC. Mr. CURWENI rose to make the Licrion of wh:ch he had given nii:tce on tl,is stibkcr. He stated the manner in which the Clergy termerly pior-i.ded in enforciti& the payment iit their revenues, and sheared that the rif . li.ts of those who claimed exemptions from t;tht-s ha:' every day become more insecure, and :hat the Clergy were continually making invasions on the property of the laity. He quoted the.case of a Cler gyman, Dr. 'Ward, in Cambridgeshire, *An gcL c er . Lain lands in lieu ut tithes, and afterwards enter: d into long litigatisin, the i-,sue ot which was, that the clergy /134 a nose bad the tithe, of the parish.

Tlva Ceurts inert went so tar as to grant lay impr,Triators the s.inte privileges as the Clergy: It such practices as mese went on, and new Claims were %rt up every day, tenants would not be able to pay their rents. It was high time then to adopt some, tell:dative proceihling maven those hard:, ships.

Sir WILLIAM scarr said, lie should not, At that time, go into :in exam7nation of the laws on thi s subject ; but he mast remark, in answcr to rpe.ri o ., pourable Member, that tithe ratr;es had been sub initted to the Ccurts of Conamin.
