The Attornies and Solicitors Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. BROGIMI and others returned from the Commons the Commissions of Assist 13111. The Earl of BLESINTON, in proposing a Bill for the Re gistering of Irish Deeds, should not have troubled the House with any observations, had he not understood that it was be lieved in Ireland that the object of the Bill was to effect some alteration in the mode of registering. He wished therefore to state that its sole effect would be to give persons residing in Eng land the option of having their deeds registered in Ireland, or else of having them registered here, with the power of sending memorials of it afterwards to Ireland. It war also proper to add that by this measure no expense would be created to the country.—The Bill was then read a first time and ordered to be printed, and the second reading hied for this day fortnight. NAVY PIVI PER CENTS. Earl GREY inquired of the Noble Earl opposite what course' of proceedings it was his intention to propose, when the Navy Five per Cents. Bill should come before their Lordships? The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that be expected that the Bill in question would be brought up from the other House this evening, in which case it would be read a first time, and to morrow he should propose its second reading. Earl GREY said that his reason for asking this question was the importance of the subject. If he understood the nature of the Bill right, the time allowed to the holders of Five per Cent. Stock to express their dissent, would not only expire on Satur day next, but all those who by that time had not expressed their dissent, would be included amongst those who bad assented. It was proper, before such a step should be taken, that their Lord ships should have all the details of the measure before them, and that more time should be allowed than it was now pro posed to grant. If the Bill were only brought in to-day, it could not be printed until to-morrow, nor properly in the posses sion of the House till the day after; and yet on Saturday, the time which it would allow to the Five per Cent. Stockholders to decide on a question materially affecting their interests, would expire. He trusted that the Noble Earl would not hurry such a Bill, without giving their Lordships ample time to examine it in all its details. He (Earl Grey) was not a holder of Five per Cent. Stoat : his personal interest would be all on another side • it would be.to his advantage that the Public should be relieve d to the fullest amount, both of interest and capitaL But whilst feeling the weight of these considerations, he wished that the House should be well informed before it greed to such a mea sure. He also wished for time to have the opinion of the Learned Judges upon the subject, and to ascertain whether the holders of Five per Cent. Stock had not taken it under the con dition that they should not be paid off until a certain portion of the Public Debt had been discharged. It would be most ex traordinary if such a measure should be pressed with so much rapidity and a large body of individuals should be deprived of a right on Saturday next by a Bill which had not been brought into the House. He also understood that the measure was not complete in itself, and that it would be necessary to introduce another Bill to give it full effect. Under such circumstances it would he as unfair as extraordinary that the Public should be subjected to the operation of an incomplete measure. The Earl of LIVERPOOL, allowed that the subject ought to undergo the fullest possible inquiry. It was not his inten tion theretore to suspend any Standing Order, or to do anything which could tend to curtail discussion. But he must contend, that it was for the advantage of the Public that no unnecessary delay should take place. The merits of the question lay within narrow limits, and he should have no difficulty in satisfying the House that Loth his Majesty's Government and Parliament were fully competent to adopt the present measure under the authority of existing Acts. It had now been several weeks be fore the Public ; all the individuals concerned knew what was proposed, and had had a full opportunity or judging and de ciding what it would best serve their respective interests to do. There was no possible unfairness in this. AU had till the latest hour to express their dissent, and there were special clauses for persons who, not being in the country at the time, could not ex press it within the limited period. As it was proper that there should be no unnecessary delay, he should wish, as ear y as pos. Bible after the" Bill had been received from the other House of Parliament, to proceed with the measure, and should feel it his duty to enter fully into the discussion, and to meet the objec.ions of the Noble Earl, or of any other Noble Peer. Earl GREY had no wish to create unnecessary delay % but conceived that in so important a measure some delay was neces sary. The Noble Earl said that the measure had been for many weeks before the Public : but did every man, who on Saturday next wouldlose the right of expressing his dis sent, exactly know the consequences of assenting or dissenting ? He saw no pos sible disadvantage which could arise from delay, especially if that state of prosperity which his Majesty's Ministers had as serted did exist, were to continue. But delay was also neces sary on another ground • for if the negotiations between Russia and Turkey wer e to en d a different manner from that which had been anticipated, the situation of the Public would be mate rially changed. Before individuals should thus be compelled to express their dissent they ought to be allowed time to ascertain the situation in which they stood ; and if the House did not give ample consideration to the subject, it would fail in its duty and might be the cause of serious injury. The Earl of LIVERPOOL contended, that if the argument of the Noble Earl were good, it proved the necessity of postpon ing the measure not only beyond Saturday, but until the negotia tions betweed Russia and Turkey had come to a termination.— Otherwise thesituation of the Five per. Cent. Stockholders would not be improved by delay. With respect to the state of theist negotiations, he could only say, that if his Majesty had to make a speech this very day, he would not advise him to express him. self in different terms front those which lie had used upon the subject at the opening of thu Session. As to the number of tke individuals who had hitherto dissented, it was inconsiderable, and the amount of the Stock which they held did not exceed on Saturday last three or four hundred thousand pounds. There was no reason, in the state of foreign affairs, to prevent their Lordships from immediately proceeding with this Bill, unless they should be disposed to adopt no measure of the kind as long as discussions should be carried on among the Contluental States which might pussiby have an ucfortuneta issue. Earl GREY conceived that the real question was, whether there were not good grounds, at this very moment, to think that the peace of Europe would be disturbed on account of the dr ' vision to which the negotiation between Russia and Turkey must soon wine ? It would have bee.: Letter, and thy measure would have borne a &trailer of kit severity; if the whole transaction bad ,been deferred till the termtnatibn of L ebow ne (octane= had taken plaie. If the H o n er followed the course which the Noble Earl propoied, it Would not act ctinihtently with what *as due to its own character, or to the confidence placed by thf Public in its decisions. It war undoubtedly in the power of the Nohle Earl to force this measure through, bet it would be most Unseemly if he did so, especially if the House Wei not made fully conversant with all its detsils.—The etinvetsatidn dropped, ind the Muse adjouined during pleasure. The Hduse resumed at nine o'clock, When Ml. ILJISHINOTOIN and others, from the Commons, brought up !he Navy Flee per Cents. Bi ll. • . „ .

Fur the first time in their lives they petitioned the Parliament, and he had to state that their Petition would have been presented by the Noble Member for Yorkshire, had he not by a domestic circumstance been prevented attending his Parliamentary duties: The Peti tioners did not think proper to entrust their P e titi on to the other Member for Yorkshire, because their opinions did hot coincide with Ms.—The Petition was read, and ordered to lie on the table, Mr. CURWEN presented a Petition front certain Owners and Occupiers of Land at Thackington, in Cumberland, com plaining of Agricultural Distress.

Mr. HUME presented a Petition from several Inhabitants of Edinburgh, against she Edinburgh Police Bill. The Honourable Member said, that on a former occasion, when the Police of Edinburgh came under discussion, he had charged Captain Brown, of that Police, with having presented false; musters.— This had been misunderstood for a charge of forgery, a crime which he had never imputed to that individual. He (.ilr. Hume) understood, however, 'that even - the charge of false musters was denied; and be had the means of proving it. The Honourable Member here referred to some document, stating that Captain Brown had charged for twenty-two watchmen, when but nine- teen had been kept, and that in other instances he bad overstated the number of the Police force. Mr. DUN DAS said, he had no wish whatever to protect Captain Brown, if the charges brought against him should be well founded. His only desire was that the case should be fairly laid before the House. The Petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr.. COURTENAY presented a Petition from several per• sons residing near Exeter, complaining of certain legal disabilities under which they suffered, in consequence of their religious opi. nions, and praying for relief.

Members so this Bill, whether thky were connected with Scotland or not. The Provost of Edinburgh, He understood, had.refused to call a meeting of the inhabitants to consider the propriety of piti tioning the House against this Bill.—The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. I LCII ESTER JAIL. Sir F. BURDETT gave notice that, on Wednesday next, he would move an humble Address to the King, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to remit the remaining term of imprisontrunt to Mr. Hunt. Mr. H. (i. BENNET presented a Petition from the Debtors confined in Ilchester Jail, complaining of the operation of the recently adopted rules of that prison. They stated that they were allowed ro communication with their f..rnilies or friends, but in a room called the Conversation-room, which they de. scribed as a close cell, seven feet by twelve, and in which there were sometimes as many as forty persons. The Hon. Member said, that the Conuniasioners :_ppointed to examine the state of the jail had expressed their disapprobation of the treatment of the debtors. The rooms, he believed, were some times actually flooded ; and an instance had been known of a person being confined in the same room with the corpse of one of the debtors. After what had already tranq.irttl, he trusted some inquiry would be instituted into the circumstances stated by the Petitioners. Mr. DICKINSON admitted that the room 41110.11 to was too small for its intended purpuse.
