The Earl of ABERDEEN felt averse from the principle of the present Bill, as opposed-to the esta blished law of Scotland, which provided with clear ness and satisfaction for the transmission of heritable posed that he was enamoured of s ich a Bill he re• gretted the measure, or rather the sad necessity for it. But he must declare, that he believed it would be rights. But the present Bill destroyed the great prin ciple of all heritable rights, by seizing ; and, rather than adopt the Bill now in progress, it would be bet ter to make the existing Act more specific, if re quired, by a declaratory Bill. As matters were pro posed to stand, two methods were offered by the pre sent Bill; but it was next to impossible to suppose that a creditor would accept the new method, when there remained the option of taking the old. Some thing like stress had been laid upon the opinion of lawyers in favour of the Bill ; and if such opinion were to be set in array, there.was, on the other side, the majority of the Faculty of Advocates. The pre sent Bill went only to break down heritable rights, and therefore he would move, that instead of the impossible for well-disposed persons to remain in he• land for one fortnight, if the present Bill Deere not passed.

It was upon this account he regretted the ill success of the motion so lately made by the Noble Duke (Devonshil e) near him. lie must ever feel the necessity of enquiry on this subject; and there having been no enquiry he must oppose the Bill. The Earl of DARNLEY would not go exactlrto the full length of his Noble Friend (Leinster) by de claring his opposition to the Bill ; but it was an ex traordinary sort of proceeding to pass a Bill of this nature, and refuse to explain the grounds of it. Were their Lordships well content, year after year, so to urge forward, and at length pass, such an onerons Bill ? But their Lordships, it eras evident, were pre pared to proceed, though another Session should not pass over in the same way without an inquiry.

HMARRIOTT having obtained his Majesty's • Royal Letters Patent, for an improvement in Weighing Bachines, begs leave to recommend them to the Public, as the most perfect and useful at ticle for that purpose ever constructed ; fee accuracy, simplicity, expedition, and portability, it stands unrivalled, as it nbTANTLY sheers the exact weight of any article from One Ounce to a Ton, without the use of Weights, thereby wring time and labour. Being perfectly portable, it may be Used in any situation—its universal utility must therefore be un letriable for Domestic purposes; in Shops, Warehouses, Coach Ofittet, Maiket Houses, liztis; on Wharfs; at Races and Fairs; for Cattle, Corn, Hay, Wool, &c.; or for Loading heavy Arti cles, it may be attached to the chain of a crane, and shew the 'Weight at the time of craning; it may be also made with a chair -to weigh Persons. From its extreme simplicity, it is scarcely Nroible to be inaccurate; yet. if it ever should be so, there is ao adjusting Screw which will momentarily correct it.

Wright. and the judgment of the Rolls Court wacreversed. Mr. Nolan was afterwards heard for the respondent, in the appeal of the Eirl of Rosse v. Sterling, and Mr. Hart in reply, for the appellant, in part. Mr. TOMLIN!, from the Treasury, presented a aeries of Re turns of the Average Price of Barley, in pursuance of an Order of the House. Mr. Bananas, Sir JAMES GRAHAM and others, brought up the Exchequer Bills (XI 4,700.000) Bill, the Ireland Court of Exchequer Bill, the Church (Ireland) Rates Bill, the East India Half-Pay Bill, the Ireland Passage Vessels Regulation Bill, the Equalisation of Duties Bill, the Ireland Drawbacks Bills, the Law of Merchants Bill, and some other Bills, which were after , wards read a first time. The Larcenies Bill was read a third time, pawed, and mes saged to the other House. Lord HOLLAND took occasion to refer to what passed on a former night, when the St. Petersburgh Marriage Bill was be fore the House; and he observed that it then appeared to be the opinion of their Lordships, that the like validity thus given to our marriages in Russia should be extended to all such marriages in foreign parts. He bad, therefore, to present a short Bill, cal culated to relieve his Majesty's subjects from all possibility of doubt respecting such marriages as happened to have been so lemnised by and between such persons while resident in foreign States.—Read a first time. After some conversation held across the table by the Earl of LIVERPOOL and other Lords, it was agreed that the Ireland Tithes Composition Bill should be read a second time preforms to-morrow, and that the discussion should stand over untile th House got. into a Committee on Wednesday, when it was under stood that the Noble Earl himself would be prepared to make his statement to their Lordships. Lord REDESD A LE moved this House to resolve into a Committee on the Ireland Court of Chancery Bill, when some amendments were introduced by the Noble and Learned Lord, and agreed to, and the Report ordered to b e redeived to-morrow. It was understood that the Scotch Juries' Bill was postponed to the same day. SCOTTISH HERITABLE PROPERTY. The Earl of ROSSLYN now moved their Lord ships to resolve into a Committee of the whole House upon the Scotch Transfer of Securities Bill. He wished the measure to pass: for, among other objects, it - appeared to him desirable that the pi oprietortof land in Scotland should be placed on the same foot-' ing with regard to securities as the landlords of England. He was aware that the present Bill came before their Lordships late in the Session, but it had been delayed, like many Bills, from the excessive pressure of business in the other House. • • stand part of the motion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was decidedly in favour of the principle of the Bill. With respect to the opinions of legal men, he could undertake to as sert that the more eminent of the profession did not contemplate the passing of the present Bill as likely to prove an injury to law. It was wished, in effect, to give the same security in the transfer of heritable bonds with regard to Scotland, as was enjoyed by the landholders and proprietors here. The LORD CHANCELLOR was apprehensive that the Bill, however well intended, would not ope rate in the manner which its supporters had hoped for. It would not, for instance, at all benefit the heritors of Scotland in the article of stamps ; as, from one end to the other, no mention was made of stamps. With re gard to what had been stated as to the eminence of the Scotch Bar, and even the Bench of Scotland, both,from the opportunities which had occurred to him of ob serving the talents of that profession, were most able and most enlightened, and yielded to none; but whe ther the forms and processes, and modes of pleading in the Scotch Courts were indeed such as to enable the subjects of the country to derive the benefit they otherwise might from the talents of the Bar and the wisdom of the Bench, was quite another question, and well demanding the consideration of all parties. If asked his own opinion on particular points, he should perhaps say that it was possible to improve the mode of conveyancing in Scotland. The object of the Bill was plain—it went to give a greater facility in the transfer of heritable bonds, but made no pro vision for stamps, there was no stamping clause. His opinion was, upon the whole, that further time should be given for consideration, as the Bill required great revision to carry its objects into due effect. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that the pre sent Bill had already been nearly two years before the House, which circumstance was a sufficient an swer to the objection as to time. If, however, he had ever thought that the present Bill would go in its operation to destroy all heritable rights, he could assure their Lordships that he certainly should haie been the very last man to support it. But he was convinced that the Bill would not destroy herit able rights, though it would secure'all heritable bonds. Explanations took place between the LORD CHAN CELLOR, and the Earls of LAUDERDALE and ABER DEEN, when the amendment, that the House resolve itself into a Committee (not ,4 now") this day three months, was carried ; and of course the Bill is lost for the present Session. THE INSURRECTION ACT. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved, that their Lord ships should now proceed to the Order of the Day ; and the Order being read, be next moved the second reading of the Irish Insurrection Act. The Earl of DARNLEY—Does the Noble Earl intend to move so important a Bill as this without assigning one reason for it ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL—In answer to the ques tion put by the Noble Lord oppbsite, I can only say, that I believe it was understood tkat this and other points were included in the late motion made by a Noble Duke upon the state of the affairs of Ireland ; and I mly venture to add, that almost all Noble Lords then present in this House, at least with a very few exceptions, were agreed, not, certainly, as to what measures should hereafter be adopted in rela tion to the Sister Kingdom, but that your Lordships were agreed, at all events, as to the adoptiun of this measure, which was deemed to be indispensable to the peace of Ireland. With this impression as to this particular Bill, and under such circumstances as we are discussing, I do not see that I should be warranted in troubling your Lordships with going now into mere objections in detail, when nothing is likely to be offered in opposition to the principle of the Bill, much less against the necessity of its application. It is im possible, my Lords, for any man seriously to look over the evidence now upon your table, and not to feel that your Lordships owe it to the loyal subjects of the Sister Kingdom, and that you owe it to the se curity of property in that portion of the empire, to pass the present Bill. I own, my Lords, that I re gret most sincerely, the necessity we are under in forwarding such a measure as this; but he who feels most desirous to do better for Ireland—who wishes to see her benefit by the benignity of legislation—that person would, my Lords, be anxicus to pass the pre sent Bill purely to secure the peace of Ireland. 1 be lieve there is no person out of this House who in tends to repair to Ireland, and that there are none among your Lordships, many of whom are going to reside there, who do not wish the present Bill forth with to pass ; nay, I will say more, who would not implore your Lordships, if they supposed you were hesitating, to pass the Bill now before the House. The Earl of LIMERICK, though connected. with Ireland, and attached to the interests of that country, said be must distinctly state, that it was a duty of their Lordships, to the peaceable and loyal part of the population of Ireland, to enact the provisions of the Bill. When he stated this, however, let it not be sup induced him to protest against the passing of the Bill, though he was aware that it was become a matter of course in the present times. If the experiment were tried next Session, he could only now declare that he should be determined to oppose it. Lord CALTHOR PE said,that although he deplored the necessity which he conceived their Lordships were under to pass the present Bill, yet he consented with less reluctance than he otherwise should, under the conviction that the operation of the Act would be limited in all cases to the necessity that enforced it. But the severity of the remedy was sufficient to indicate the depth and inveteracy of the disease; for the continued reqewal of such measures indicated a degree of disorder which shewed the malignancy, if so it might be called, of that habit which converted those institutions found so beneficial here into un mixed evil with regard to Ireland. Thus, for exam ple, the elective franchise, though considered so es timable a boon in this country, was turned to abuse and the purposes of vassalage in Ireland. The root of so much evil, the prolific source of such grievances, must lie deep ; but what could easily be done for the amelioration of a half civilised, half-educated, and half-employed population ? It was appalling to re flect on the enormities sliich in such a country had been perpetrated, as it undoubtedly was, at the same time, heart-rending to comprehend its wretchedness and its woe. The first business of legislation, in all cases remedial, was rendered a problem, if not a difficulty, in the best regulatinas as they respected Ireland. Grand Juries, which were in this country productive of so much security, were in Ireland the sources of misfortune. All the bounties of nature, the fertility of' her soil, were perverted and counter acted by the system there pursued. It was obvious, that when the great mass of the people aet e reduced to the minimum of subsistence, and while they con tinued in that state, while a man's life was held as cheap as those of beasts, that it would be absurd to hope for any amelioration in their moral system, or that they should be anything but a cause of uneasi ness and alarm to this country. All efforts to pro duce improvement would be useless, if we did not look to the state of moral degradation which arose out of the character which the Catholic Religion had assumed in Ireland. That which ought to be the origin of light and civilization was, on the contrary, the source of gross ignorance and extreme darkness. He disclaimed all intention of saying any thing cal culated to run down the Catholic Religion, knowing, as be did, that to it the service of our own Clrorch was indebted for some of its most approved forms ; and recollecting aho that the Catholic Church had produced many men who have rendered considerable service to the State. In Ireland, however, the Catho lic Religion (always prone to error, and leading to the grossest corruption) was in the darkest and most degraded state; therefore, any remedy to remove the evils that exist in that country would fall short of its object, if means were not taken to give to the people a Religion likely to pr oduce civilizing effects. Chris tianity could not have prevailed in Ireland in the same way as elsewhere, for it-had not produced simi lar consequences. He had no idea of forcing the Protestant Religion upon the Catholic}; hut he thought the funds derived by our Clergy from the Catholic population ought not to be looked upon by them as a gratuity, but as a call upon them to do 'everything in their power for the moral improve ment of those people. With such a formidable wea pon in its hands as a system of education, he thought the Church of Ireland was capable of doing much good in that way ; and be looked to its members with hope, that they would exert themselves to promote education, and consequently civilization throughout i the country.—The House then divided— Fur going into the Committee • 36 • Against it - Majority -—4 l Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, On their re-admission to the Gallery, their Lordships were in a Committee. Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought the Act more calcnlated to promote irritation than itanciliation. The Duke of WELLINGTON said drat the great advantage of the Act was, that it konlitaed the; people to their houses between sunset and sunrise, and thereby prevented the commission of outrages which were !.;;
