Referred to the committee on the bill, and leave given to the parties to he heard by counsel, if such were their wish. Tux M 4GE CEIIIEMONY,--Mr. W. SMITH pre sented a petition from certain portions of his Majesty's subjects, calling thenuelves Unitarian Dissenters, praying to lie 'cheesed troth the performance of certain ceremonies in the marriage contract at the altar, which they conceived to violate their principles without advancing any good in terests. He should have bought this question forward 'Allier, but fur the pressure of public business; the re medy, however, was easy and short, and lie was prepared to bring it forward now. The remedies were various: portions of the ceremony might be omitted; and the read ing of that ceremony might be altogether waived, only 'victim the parties marrying to appear before the mi nl•ter. tl gin lie should meet with any success, lie vas ready to bring forward a bill this session.—The petition was 1111 . 11 read. It was front various Unitarians who assembled at 217, flight Wilms et. 1)r. PHILLIMONE lamented that he hail only just en tered the house. He knew not what plan taught be tentemplated ; but if it wece proposed to do away with the religions part of the ceremony, he sho u ld object to it. lie had no objection to extending teller, such as was given to the Quakers. Mr. W. SSIITH replied, that so long as they obtained bithstautial relief, lie was iudifferent about the mode. Petition ordered to be printed. RECEIVERS GENERAL Or TAXES, &c.—Mr. WHIT. MORE presented the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the system adopted respecting Receivers General of taxes, &e.—Ordered to be printed: alesemens HOLDING OFFICE, &c.—Mr. G. BENNETT having mused that a previous order be discharged, which was agreed to, mo►ed that there be laid before the house returns of members holding offices at the pleasui e of the crown, specifying them, the nett income, &c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER spoken( the difficulty that was in the way of making such atriums. After sonic further observations, a series of accounts were ordered to be sent to the clerk of the house. Sir R. WILSON presented a petition against the new poor telief bill from a township in Lancashire. It stated, said the 11011. member, that the petitioners had heard with astonishment that it could be said any where, that the poor married from improvident and ineprincipled motives. . Before 11011. members proceeded further, he hoped they would look, during the holidays, at the production of a learned, though nut a very serious divine. called a " Mo dest Proposal;" it was the prodoctiou of Dean Swift. Mr. BROUGHAM lamented that there was still an effort to excite clamour against this measure. It could be productive of no good. He added, there was out of doors held a most extraordinary doctrine on this subject ; it was held that the poor hail a claim on the land, which was to be satisfied in the first instance ; but against this doctrine, and its injurious tendency, he must protest. Colonel WOOD said the bill had not had fair play; he hoped it would not be further delayed. Sir J. GRA HAM spoke to the like effect, and said from all he had hem d the opinions were generally in favour of the bill. Mr. MANSFIELD replied, that from all he could hear the opinions respecting the bill were of a contrary charac ter—that they were decidedly against the bill. sir R. HERON hoped that the measure would not be pressed forward this session. Mr. SCARLETT said, be never expected to have a general approbation of the measure. He spoke of the disproportionate amount of poor rates as between the lion. nufacturing and the agricultural districts--the mauutec• luring districts not being so heavily burdened as the agri cultural. Lancashire had expended r 20,0001. where Simiex had been obliged to raise 210,1)001. He concluded with contending that something must be done, and if it were to be done at all with effect, it must be done soon.— (Hear.) Mr. CALCRAFT expressed his opinion against the bill, observing, that lie had as numerous a set of corrpondents, who were against the bill, as was possessed by the lion. mover. Petition ordered to lie on the table. Sir R. WILSON moved, that the petition be printed. In doing so, he said, the justification of his conduct in radiug public attention to the bill was to be found in the wish of the hon. member tior Carlisle to hurry the bill through the house. The pour, it most be recollected, had no voice in returning members to that house; they had no means of checking the expenditure; and it this bill acre passed, they might he exposed to new corn bills. Mr. H. GURNEY said, that it had been einicavonred to get the bill through the house, without its tieing no ticed. He strongly condemned the bill; to pass it, in his estimation ' would be the act of flagrant insanity. (Hear.) Mr. 1110NiCK said, the most 4:fleeingl way of affording relief to the poor would he gain a reduction of the bur den's now imposed On them. After some remarks from Mr. J. Sebright, the petition Wits ordei ed to be printed. Lord NUGENT moved for returns of judges, clerks, dec. In the Leeward and Cali ibbt e islands, their baldrics, occ.—Ordered. WA YS •ND MEA 115.—The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUE't moved, that the report of the Co iiiiii lute of Ways and Bleats be received.

Lord LONDON DI.RRY admitted the great import:time of the bill; but spoke ul we palanwulit cuuseyueuecs of the felon I of tic St,' ft HERON cared nut whither the bill was pressed forward or pil,lpotiell for the pre.. iit seas' but if it were puoputieil ads, it ought to lOC pi.,•poned THE NATIONAL REGISTER Mr. HEN NETT spoke of the way in which the house had been nightly engaged by the business of government, leaving very little time for the purposes or legiNkiiuu. Loud LONDONDERRY said, that the evils might be remedied, if the hon member for Coventry could be pre vailed on to abstain from pressing his motions after midnight; and if the hon. member fur Aberdeen could be induced to compress within it narrower compass his speeches and op. posit inn. —(Hear, and a laugh.) Mr. ABERCROMBIE hoped Ott bill would be postponed. Mr. Sergeaut ONSLOW suid he was always desirous to postpone his bill, When he first came into parliament he brought in a bill in November, hut he wits unable to get it read a third time until June. There was always something " importiait" when he rose about his bill.—(A laugh.)— tJuder all the circumstances he should pratpone his bill for the present session—(Heer, hear.)—He therefore moved that it he read a secoud time this day three mouths.—Agreed to. Tug. throcizT.—.Mr. BROGDLN appeared at the bar, with the report of the ways and means, containing the budget. Lord A. HAMILTON, before it was brought up, com plained of that. part of the excise ale and beer bill passed this seal which regarded Scotland, Glasgow, &c. it so seriously affected their trade that they saw no remedy but in a suspeosson of the bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that the bill was brought in befure Easter, so that there had been time enough to consider it. It had not been smuggled through the house i he was understood, however, to add, that if there were tiny difficulties they would be considered by the excise board and the government. Mr. MAXWELL mid. he herd presented complaints to the excise board of Scotland on this subject. Mr. J. P. GRANT said, the amount of the government explauation was, that the difficulties were to be removed by the excise board—that such board was to express its opinion of the doubtful provisions of an act of parliament. Mr. MABERLY then rose to contrast the estimates of last year with those of the present year. lle meat ioued the difference between the estimates and the details, when the sums came to be accounted fur; by which means there had been obtained an excess last year of 587,0001. To remedy this evil, he knew no better course than that of the house rigidly determining to vote all the supplies before they received the estimates of the budget. Otherwise there would always be differences between the sums granted and the sums actually expended—differences that could not be watched properly, and regularly examined, with all the vi. whence that inembens could exercise. (Hear, bear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained, stating that there never bad been an instance where the estimated receipts and expences had exactly corresponded. He had only adopted the course which had hitherto received the sanction of the house. But comparing the estimates of last year with those of the preceding year there was an excess on which be had not calculated before. But the ractice of former years were not too rigidly adhered to ; he the accounts they had approached u system of more regu larity than was observed in former years. As to his general statement regarding our revenue, which he deemed it right to make WI Friday night, lie had still further reason to believe th..t lie should be found to be correct. Mr. J. P. GRANT spoke of the state of our finances in 1816, as compared with their condition in 181 , , and con tended that they were worse by upwards of 7,0001. The report was then brought up and the resolutions agreed to. GAM TO Tile DUKE OF CLARENCE,-00 the rnOtiuo of the Nlarrmis of LONDON DERRY, the house omit into a committee un the communication from the Duke of Clarence. The Noble Marquis, after some observations on the con. duct and situation of his Royal Highness as a husband and father, and adverting to the resolution of the house of ISIS, for granting to his Royal Highness 6,(X)01. a year, proposed that that sum should slow be granted to him, together with the 1111,0001. arrears fur three years. All the illustrious indi vidual desired, was to be placed in the same situation as his royal brothers. Mr. HUME objected to the grunt of 6,0001. The Duke of Clarence already 11'11125004 thou his brothers, lle a amid therefore propose to make the grant now 35001 s a year, without any arrears. Mr. HARBOR!) said be should propose 60001. a year, without arrears, After some further discussion, the committee divided on this amendment. Fur the arnendinent.43—For the original motion 119—Majority 76. The house then went into a committee of supply. After one or two items of the report were agreed to, Mr. Arbuthiait moved that the chairman should report progress. The hou a then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received un Wednesday next. Upon the order of the day for the third reading of the coals dray% backs bill being read, Mr. F. PALNIER moved that the house be counted; and there lint being 40 members present, au adjournment took place to Wednesday. The Select Committee of the House of Commons . appointed to take into consideration the existing laws relating to vagrants, have made their report, which has- just now been printed. They suggest the expediency of revising and consolidating the different acts upon vagrancy ; and for this purpose, and various others connected with the subject, they recommend the revival of the Committee in a future session. In the mean time they have directed their Chairman to move for leave :o bring in a bill for amending the present laws relative to the apprehen sion, punishment and passing of vagrants.—Among other suggestions it recommends that the passing of vagrants to their places of settlement should be sus pended for one year from the Ist of September next. A Bill according to the suggestion of the Committee has been brought in by Mr. Chetwynd. On Tuesday morning Messrs. Wooler, Edmunds, and Maddocks, who were sentenced to diflimem periods of imprisonment in Warwick gaol, were removed from the King's Bench prison, in the cus tody of Mr. Gibbon, the Lord Chief Justice's tip staff and assistants, to the Belle Sauvage, Ludgate hill, and at five o'clock they set off for their destina tion in the Crown Prince, which arrived at War. wick at six o'clock the same night. - _ FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. 1•1•=11=NOM BANKRUPTS.

This being the last day of Eister Term, the Court was occupied in hearing and deciding points of practice CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. KING V DOLBY.-Mr. Gurney spewed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Evans, calling on the attorney for the prosecution to chew cause why the defendant should not be furnished with the names of his prosecutors, who are members of the Constitutional Associai ion. The object of Mr. Evans's application was to enable the defendant to know whether one more of the said society might happen to be upon the Jury impounded to try him. The irossibiluy of such an occurrence was considered not very remote, and it was contended that' he was entitled to security against such an event. Th•tt security could only be obtained by having their names The rule was most ably suppot ted by Mr. ticarlett and Mr. Evans, who contended that the subjects of the realm prosecuted by societies with large foods, had no security fur the fair administration of justice, unless they knew the names of their prosecutors. The Court, alter some deliberation, refused to make the rule absolute, but allowed the defendant the privilege of putting a question to each Juror as he entered the box, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he was, or was not, a member of the Constitutional Association.— Tile rule was consequently discharged.
