HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY .1. Their Lordships met at ten o'clock, and proceeded tip bar APPEALS.

Kxox, Appellant; CHAMIERS, Respondent.—Thig was an Appeal from the decision of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). Mr. Ileald was heard for the Appellant.—Further hearing postponed. At a quarter to four o'clock the Lotto Cnawcar.r.int, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, and the '3larquis of ININCIIIMTEit, appeared as his Majesty's Commissioners, and brought the Royal Assent to the following Bills :—The Pensions Duties Bill, the Asacssed Taxes Composition Bill, the Tunrine Duties Repeal Bill, .the Sheriffs' Depute Bill, the Doyle Divorce Bill, and four pri vate Bills. The Scoteh Distillery Bill, and the Wntminster Improve. nsl Bill, went respectively through Committees, aud were reported. 'MARRIAGE ACT. The Marquis of CA Al DEN presented a Petition from Char lotte Ann Hayward, a young lady of respectable connections at Brecon, who stated, that being under age, she had suffered herself to be persuaded to marry a person of the name of Josiah Crutchley, who had deceived her by false representations, and had, she had since discovered, oboined a licenie for their mar riage by a false affidavit. They had no sooner been married, however, than they had been overtaken by her brother, who brought her back to her mother's house, where she had resided ever since, not having cohabited fur a single day with her pre tended husband. Proceedings had been instituted, but no deci sion had yet been gained, in consequence of the evasions of her deluder. She feared that the Bill now pending before the House would affect her case and confirm her marriage, and prayed for such alteration in the wording thereof, as might relieve her from its operation. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that as the retrospective clause only affected those marriages where parties had lived to gether till the death of one of them, or had cohabited till the passing of the Act, Miss Hayward never having cohabited with her pretended husband, was clearly exempted from its opera tion. Her case was covered by the exceptions, and her mar riage would be invalid after the completion of the measure. He would only add, that if the Bill had been passed before this oc currence took place, the offender would probably not have dared to procure a marriage by the means which he had employed, as he would then have been subject to transportation for life. The LORD CH A NCE LLOR thought that what had passed this night slimed that the retrospective cl .use at least, if not the whole Pi 1, was not well understood. The Earl of LAUDERDALE conceived that as no one was better able to understand the Bill than the Nobly Earl, he ought to explain it for the benefit of the House. If he did not do so, it might be thought that he did not understand it himself. The LORD CHANCELLOR then pointed out some obscu rities in the Bill. Among other things, it would leave Clergy men in doubt what portion of the Marriage Act should be read in Churches. As it stood he himself did not know what part was to be read. Lord ELLF.NBOROUGH maintained that no difficulty could arise on that head, as the Bill expressly said that so mu.h •of the Marriage Act should be read as was recited therein. The other objections related to mere trifles, which would be cor rected without any difficulty. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" My I ords, nuga se,in ductsnt real;; and h believe that if the Noble Lird under stood his own Bill, he would find it one to which he would nut give his consent." Lord ELLENBOROUGH believed that he understood his own Bill. If, indeed, it contained the clauses proposed by the Noble and Learned Lord, the case would be different, fur he would frankly confess that even now he did not understand them, and he had conversed with many individuals out of drops, not one of whom could apprehend their meaning. The LORD CHANCELLOR had no idea that the Noble Lord should know enough of the law of the country to under stand his clauses, or that the individuals whom he had consulted should be likely to illuminate him on the subject. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" Surely, my Lords, an Act of Parliament should not be drawn up so as to be understood only by lawyers. Such an Act too, as the Marriage Act, so important to the community at large, should be written in such plain terms that the man who runs might read." The LORD CIIANCELLOR said that the present Bill bad been drawn up by laWyers, and that he had never a•en ail so defective.—The conversation then dropped, and the Petition was laid on the table.

As the House was resolving itself into a Committee on the Corn Importation Laws Amendment Bill, Lord REDESDA LE said, that it was unfit that a Bill of this importance should go through a Committee when the Ministers of the Crown were not present to explain its nature. Ile should move that the Committee be postponed till to-morrow. The Earl of WESTMORLAN D said, that it had been settled, when the Bill was read a second time, for the purpose of accom modating several Noble Lords, that nothing should be said in the Committee, but that the debate should be taken on the third reading of the Bill,on Friday next. Lord REDKSDALF, had, on the contrary, understood the Noble Earl at the bead of the Treasury to say, that h e wou ld open his observations on the principle and nature of the in the Committee. The Earl of WESTMORLAND maintained, that the last understanding was that nothing should be said in the Committee. He was nut anxious, however, to press the matter, and as the Noble Lord seemed to wish it, should move that the Committee be adjourned to Wednesday next.—Agreed to. Lord ItF.DESDALE presented a Petition from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in some Parishes in the County of York, against the Cora Importation Laws Amendment Lill.—Laid on the table. The Duke of PORTLAND presented a similar Petition from the Editor of the Farmer's Journal.—Read, and laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House was sununaned to aitendst the Bar of the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given, by Connis,ion, to se veral Bills, for the particulars of which bee the Lords' Report. Mr. LUSHINGTON moved the second reading of the Salt Duties Repeal Bill. • Mr. CUR\VEN gave notice, that on the committal of the Bill, he should move for the total repeal of the duty after the expiration of one year.—The Bill was then ordered to be read a second time to- ninrrow. Mr. 11011110 USE presented a Petition from Charles Mad docks, now or lately confined in Warw:ck Jail, under a sentence of the Court of King's Bench, upon a conviction obtained at Warwick through a Special Jury. The Petitioner stated, that the utmost of his offence was his having attributed the miseries of the . cottutry to the corrupt ►tate of the represesitation. The Honourable Member stated, that, in his opinion, the severity of the sentences passed upon political offenders was too great.— There was reason to befi. vc that the Petitioner's sentence had hero severer than that of his co-defendant, on account of the mode in which he had conducted his defence. Against this new practical doctrine he entered his protest, and he trusted the House would put a stop to it. After a few words from Mr.Twisx, and from Mr. llosiroust, in explanation, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WODEIIOUSE presented a Pttition from several Malt store of Norwich, complaining of a Dill passed this Session, im posing additional duties on their Licenses. I After a few words from Mr. Alderman WOOD and Mr. Matz, , the Petition en* ordered to lie on the table. Lord BINNING prestnted a Petition from several Sub- -..:~- SEVEN ••PENC ' scribers to the proposed Scotch National hlonument, stating that they understood the Monument was to include a Place of Wa di*, and praying the assistance of the House towards the secelai pllshment of this object.—Ordered to lie on the table. Sir. OREN FELL wished to know what was the amount .f the sum subscribed by the Petitioners? Lord BI NN ING said, he believed about X 24,000 or £25,000, and that several thousands more were expected. Mr. HUMP: expressed his surprise that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should sanction such a Petition as the present. It was much to the'cresiit of tae Petitioners t h at t h ey h a d proposed the Monument, b u t their I'etition for pecuniary assistance took away f rom that credit. ... Toe CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that £lOO,OOO had been voted by the House some years ago for the erection of Churches in Scotland; and it was conjectured that there could be no objection to promote the reasonable views of those who wished to make one of the Churches a monument of national honour. After some further conversation between Sir RovastWit.sosr, Lord Msmi.°, Mr. Cuswaos, the CHANCILLOIL of the Excum. WU, and Mr. J. P. GRANT, the Petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUME said, it appeared by Returns on the table that the Land Tax Collectors were in the habit of retaining in their hands conshitrable sums which ought to be paid into the Exche quer. He moved for some further Returns, giving the particu lars of the sums retained by, and the patronage allowed to those Collectors.—Ordered. Mr. P. MOORE presented a Petition from those employed in the Manufacturing of Ribands in Coventry, complaining of the hardships imposed upon them by the Combination Act, and praying that some alteration might be made in it: Mr. ELLICE bore testimony to the grievances of the Peti tioners. He said there should be an Act which would regulate the value of labour, and place the manufacturer and labourer en an equal fuming. In this Session he believed nothing could be done, but he hoped every attention would be paid to so impor tant a subject next Session. Mr. It ICA It DO said the labouring classes in the riband trade suffered great grievances, and he trusted the House would take their situation into consideration. After a few further observations from Mr. G. BENNET, Mr. Hintz, and Mr. P. Moose, the Petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships' assent to several Bills. THE BUDGET. The Order of the Day being read for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose, and began by observing, that he might be thought to requite an apology, for submitting to the Committee a general stat emen t o f t h e fi nances of the country, be fore all the Supplies for the service of the year were voted. It had lathe' to been th.ught desirable that all the Supplies, or neatly all, should be voted be fore it came to his turn to move for the last Commit-. .tee of Ways and Means, in which he was to submit a general statement of the financial operations of the year. At present, however, he was obliged to de viate from that course, in consequence of the un usually late period to which the public business had been delayed —a delay with which Gentlemen on either side had charged each other, but the cause of which he would not now stop to inquire into. He hoped, however, that the House would feel that,- at least for the remainder of the Session, it was ex tremely desirable that they should proceed without further interruption—(Hear, hear !).—ln the first place, it would be more convenient that the general statement should be presented before that period when many Member:: were, front various causes, !caving the /Metropolis; and it would tend more to the furtherance 01 public business, that the several accdunts should be presented before July. The House was aware, that ever since the year 1818, which was the first year in which a Sinking Fund Loan had been 'voted, :Itch Loan had been constantly voted, from the sth of July in one year to the sth of July in ano thel-. The Sinking Fund, then, for the year 1821, would er r ire on the sth of July next; and unless, be fore that expiration, a vote to revive the application of the Loan to the service o f 1822 was passed, i t Would be impossible, without great irregularity, and without giving some interruption to the public se:- vice, to apply the produce cf the Sinking Fund pur suant to the provisions of several Acts of Pailiament, without the loss of a quarter ; fin no vote for the appropriation of the Sinking Fund could pass before the Commissioners would have applied three or four millions to the purchase of Stock, thus depriving the service of the year of that portion of its Ways and Means, and producing an irregular operation upon the ma: ket, by a premature purchase of stock. He would now go on to state the amount of the sums re. (pined for the service of the year ; confining himself, in cases ~here the Supplies had been already voted, to the Estimates belote the House; and, in instances where the Supplies had not been sanctioned, taking care that the items should not exceed what the ser vice demanded. He had no wish that any sum should be misappropriated which might be open to abuse, or create any jealousy of the Crown. Therefore, in his project of ‘Vays and Means, he should reserve a sum large enough to cover the Supplies not yet voted, limiting himseit to the exact amount. Having stated thus much, he had now to bring under the consi deration of the House the particular items in regular detail. The Estimates already voted for the Military Set vice for Great B r itai n an d Ireland amounted to the sum of 6,530,000/. but the whole expense of the Army was 7,925,0001. so that there remained 1,393,0001. yet to be voted.
