the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was prepared to insist inquiry. After some remarks Irian Sir J. Sebright, &c. the too. lion was withdrawn. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the hi ewers of Berrhin, Scotland, against a clause in the last Scotch malt acts.—Ordered to lie on the table. The report of the lottery bill was presented, and agreed to ; and the bill (for 0,00010 ordered to be read a third time to-morrow . . EXTRA POST.—On the question that the report of the extra post bill lie received, Mr. CALCRAFT opposed the bill. As the existing plait was so successful!, secured such accuracy of delivery of letters, he thought they ought to be slow to adopt any measures that would lie calculated to aißrt existing plans. Mr. F. LEWIS was also against the bill. The post office could transmit letters as rapidly as Mr. Burge►s, if they did not convey passengers. The gallery was then cleared for a division. The num bers were, fur the receiving of the report .il, against it Ng. The bill was accordingly lost. Pooß SCARLET'!', in moving that the re port of the poor laws' bill be further considered, said, lie should nut trouble the house at any length ; he should withdraw it for the present session. Much had been said and written against the measure to influence the public mind—but he should renew the bill next session. Bill postponed, after some remarks from Sir R. Wilson. The remaining ordcrs,the appropriation hill, Sic. having been disposed of the house adjourned. TVESDAT, JILT 3. Mr. Johnson mesented accounts of the Linen Board, Ireland. ADIBIRALTV HALT-PAS.—Mr. CALCRAFT said, in consequence of the petition of Mrs. Beevan and Mrs. Halifax, complaining of their halt-pay being withdrawn since 1818, he should move for the production of the ad miralty order of that year, wan ranting such withdrawal. The case had been mentioned by Mr. F. Buxton yesterday; the husband of Mrs. Bevan had lost the use of his intellect after services in ‘1 aicheren. The case was a very hard one; it called at least for explanation. He concluded with moving for a copy of the admiralty order of InlB. Sir G. COCKBURN entered into the requisite expla• nations. The practice was, when an officer was sick, to permit him to remain in au hospital, or elsewhere, for six weeks ; lint it he %me then pronounced incurable, he wa i placed on the liall 7 pay list, and removed to some place ct secarity, such as Hoxton ; and as to the halt of the lialf-pay that had been granted to Mrs. Brevet), it was to in looked on as a boon; it was not what she was entitled to by the rectilatiosis of the service. It the friends kids cite of the invalid they had the half pay. As to granting the thilf pay in 1804, for government were afterwattrs I,2lind to be maintaining the individual, while the half pay s is ecived by the family. He concluded with moving tin• previous question. Sir J. YORK E said, that he had visited these olficerc at Miles's t stablishment, Hatton, and he certainly found that Insanity levelled distinctions ;—they were in a miserable plight. Regarding the halt of the halt pay, it was the re , ult of arrangement ; one half went to the Go' veramient fur the better maintenance of the nnfortimate officers, the other half to the families. The government, he thought, had nothing to du with it; the arrangement had been made. Mr. CALCRAFT said, lie should not press the motion under the present circumstances; he thought it would be xtreinely injudicious, but lie could not tiiink that the explanation was vet , : satisfactoi y. Next year, however, when the cases of officers so calamitously circumstanced came before the house, he should call particular attention to them. He should ftitlidraw the 3110a011 fur the present. A:otion withdrawn. FOREION Gov FAINSIENTS.--Mr. PEEL raid lie wished to submit a question to the noble secretary of state fur the tot eign department. Au individual of his name, and to whom he was :testily 'elated, utter a re►idence of seven years at Leghorn, had been ordered by the Tuscan go vet 'intent to dep. 't flout that place within 2.3 hours. He complained to the commissary of police, lint the reply was, that lie was a bad moral character. He was obliged to depart, u' withstanding the inconvenience to his com mercial atliirs; and lie withdrew to Florence, hut had been unable to obtain any explanation. He wished to know whether the noble lord had received any Whin genet, ots this subject. Marquis of LO\DONDERRV spoke of the respectable character borne by the isidividunl in question, as a British merchant. Our nihilist( r thew had iminediatel) iuta- It red, but Ito explanation could be obtained ; doubtless the inconvenience resulted front some false intelligence, for individuals in foreign countries were ,not always se curers trout nialevoleuce.--(Hear, bear!) His lordship added, that eventually all impediments to the retttin of this grtltman had been retained; however, he was happy to state, that what lied happened had in no way affected the individual's character as a merchant. ~irß. WILSON said, that the great obstacle in the way of saccessful inquiry was the nilen bill; and lie there foie hoped that the Noble Lord would avail of the eat hist opportunity to repeal so odious a Bill.— (Bear CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. - Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a petition hum William Benhow, of the Strand, a printer, but now it prisoner in the King's Bench. An indictineut had been found against hint, but as surety was required not only for his appearance, but also fur his good behaviour, he was unable to procure sureties. The fold ing of a new indictment made such sureties liable. lie was sent to prison in :thy last, and lie was now com pletely ruined; so that the association would have the satisfaction of know iug that they had destroyed one man, without even bringing him to trial. Besides, the peti tioner complained of the delay of justice; the triai, in stead of coining on at the sittings aver the presem terns, to his ineaprrsaihleastonishment it was postponed till the middle of October, the court, it toeing said. 'rein,/ waisted for some persons connected with that coronation which was intended to celebrate a covenant between the King and his people. He should hereafter move an address to the KM', praying that he would direct the adoption of measure& that would prevent the delay of justice, which was a violation of Magna Cliarta.—(Hear.) The ATTO 17:YUEN El( AL spoke in a very low tone Slat i , that if on enquiry he found taut the peculiar c ir eurnstaner s were likely to work such hardships, he shou;il deem it his only to order the tiolavidualb . docitaige ou tht urd•uury securities. Mr. 110 (MOUSE said, after %hut had plot.ed he shoal.) nO: THE NATIONAL REGISTER Mr. SCARLETT was glad to bear is hat had failen from the crown's 'KW offiel , f, anti condemn:A: the Coaraeter and principles of titi4 association. As to liadmg rurh security for goad behaviour, it became impassible. An to thr postpone meat of trials, lie loved the circunistaiice would he con sidered before the sittings were fixed fat October ; this hail been submitted to for two pears—but if gentlemen were re. quired to attend to the profession oft he taw, they could not lie expected to attend all the year roui.d, sundays excepted.— He also was sorry to find that no progress had been male in the erection of hew courts; so that he feared next term hey would be subjected to the inconveniences of having separate and distant courts. Mr. M. A. I'AYI.OIt thought that it would he ads des able to take into consideration whether it would not be ad vantageous to free the Common Pleas from the Inch now hound that court, and enable it, like the Bench, to try criminal causes. What he thought of was the public—ha was for preventing the delays of Justice. NI r. I)EN MAN said, he should look at any such alteration with considerable jealousy. Ile hail heard what had fallen from the Attorney General with much satisfaction. The practice of binding over for good behaviour had originated with Lipid Siiliiinul les frowns circular. To try the correct ness of the circular, Mr. Butt brought tin action against Sir N. Coorint ; and Mr. Ilidt was now imprisoned fur the casts. Sir N. Comint's costs told, he understood, been paid by the tiensury ! Was that fact true I—Petition read, and ordered to be printed. SiciCir AND NAPLES—Colonel DAVIES presented a petition from Capt. Romeo, setting forth the services he had rendered to the Sicilians, and portir utility to the Ilrilish army when in that island. The petition having been read, Lord LONDONDERRY said, that this was the second time Capt. Romeo had appealed to parliament. As to the treatment of the petitioner, his loidship hail directed Sir W. A'Court to institute all possible enquiry. and to see that Capt. R. expert( need em vexatious resentment on aceoun of his political character, or of his services to the British ninny. lie thought there was no case made out to warrant the interference of the house. Lord W. BENTINCK admitted, that if Capt. R. hal demands for services, the) ouAlit to have been made to him hut his suffering, and losses in consequence of his connection with the British a rniy stood on quite a different footing As to the pension, it should have been snore, or nothing at nil ; and the money rendered for the pension should have been on a more liberal scale. _ _ . 31r. C. 11. HUTCHINSON tin id, the services of Captain Romeo had met with taunting insult. That wHs most unjust. The British officers had said that Captain Romeo's conduct towards the British army had drawn on him the enmity of his own government. He thought Captaii Romeo was en titled to the generous consideration of this country. Captain DAVIS 'tdied, there were certificates in support of Captain Romeo's conduct from those Neapolitan officers, &c. on whose subsequent statements the noble nu:rqiiis now relied. He ho:), , I the government would re-constder the (vs,. Pt•titi, , D ordered to lie on the I Ai-. Mr. W. s Nt I presented a petition !r ~a eariow person., complaming of extents in aid—the bin member 91111i:IT, that the FUltieCt c,,llett for the interierct.co of parliament.— Ilis forint'. bill had done miteli gond, toe extents in aid having been reduced frum 220 in one year to twenty or tees. He had not yet been able to examine the cases submitted to him, which accounted for the delay that had taken pines., Mr. S. WHITBREAD then brought forward his motion on the Bridge-street atemciation, condemning the soci-ty, and maintaining that it waseontrary to the principles and spirit of the constitution. He concluded with moving an address to the King, praying his Majesty to direct the Attor. ties -General to enter a Noll Prorequi in all the proceedings iu.tituted by the society styling itself the Constitutional Association. Mr. Bathurst, Dr. Lusbington, Sir M. Cholmondely, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. Deiimin f.illon ed. The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, considering that it would be premature to it:;ree to any such proposition. Mr. BROL'GIi AM strongly eimileninecl the 3qm-infirm. which he said s% as Netter knoon by the n tine of " the Bridge•street gang." The motion ssa• eventnally ne;,ativcd. The Mime then adjourned.

CHOIR AND MUSICAL DEPA tt i NICHT:The Organ to be used on this occasion is nearly erected, in a gallery over the Altar, in NVesintidster Abbey. It is not the one that has been mentioned, but one bespoke by . his Nlajesty's State °dicers, and made by Mr. Elliot,ol the City-road. The keys are brought a considerable distance from the pipes, so that tie player oily be near the band and ptitteipal voices. Mr. Kny vett, *en. as Or..;aimt of his Majesty's Chapel Royal, is to preside at it user the choir department; and Mr. S!;ield, as Ma ster of ha .Nlajesty's Baud of MUCCI:IIIS over the mental; tile coral, will be confined to the Gentlemen a his Je . je,ty's Chapels Roy 11, and the Choir of ‘Vest,- !Muster A:they, and the Instrumental to his Majesty's Band ni Mtibicillis, as appointed by the Lord Chant. !tenant. Two new Anthems (the words selected by the Aryl). bishop of Canterbury,) are coinieved for the occasion by Mr. Attwood and Mr. Al'. Knyvett, by virtue of Mike as Composers to the King. Te Doso, Sacra ment Sanctuses, and Handel's Grand Coronation An them, will likewise be performed ; but the Musical Service much shorter than at the Corotiation of h:s late The appropriation of the Galleries in Westminster Hall has not yet taken place. Models and . plans have been sent to the Isotil Great Chamberlain for this purpose, and his Lordship was nit Monday en gaged in arranging the order in which the carious ranks to whom tickets are to be issued shall be placed. lit the repairs which have been taking place in the roof of Westminster Hall, preparatory to the Coro nation, it became necessary to remove some p.irts of the old timber, which is supposed to have stood there front the time of Unfits. Ibis consisted of what has been termed Irish oak and Spanish chesnut. Many lugs of it were preserved by the workmen, and have been manufactured into suuti•boxes, which are highly prized : some of them bear au inscription, stating the material of which they are composed, and that it was procured during the repairs of Westminster Hall for the Coronation of George IV. All the list Coronation venoms state that, dining the banquet in ‘Vestmitister Hail, baskets and -hand kerchiefs were let down from the galleries, iu winch wine and provis:ons were drawn up fur the gratification of those ono had not come provided with refreshments. Th,s practice, so indecorous, as well as to irregular in appearance ' will be strictly prohilitted on the present orea.ion. No person will be allowed to take any bun dle or basket with them into the Hall ; and to obviate all difficulty is to refreshments, proper persons will be appointed to sell every thing which may be desired at lixcd Wesiiiiiiisicr Hall has been crowded each day since Monday, iron. nine o'clock in the morning until three in the alteration. by a great assemblage of respectable persons . , under the sanction of tickets issued by the Lord Great Chamberlain, whose polite and iml.artial attention has grati‘ed the curiosity of thousands of indi viduals, and which has also put a stop to those acrimo nious observations respecting the ant ist ceremony, which were used tiefore the pubite were so obligni6ly accommodated. The same facility of access to the Abbey is also desira ble, though it has by no means the attraction of West minster Hall. The grand organ .re eled by Mr. Whoa, the organ builder, of Tottenham-amp New-road, a ttracts much notice. Its pipes are immense, and i's swell must be prodigious; and this organ will, when played, atm much to the soieniiiity of the occasion. The awning over the platform leading from the Hall to the Abbey is nearly finished. The platform is about 1,200 paces in length, and if spacious booths were erected to the full extent at each side, nearly half a million of people might see the pmeessiun. '1 he regulations for ailinniing the company into the Hall, and for their departure, are adniirable.—When fulled at the Coronation, it will present a pallid and map nificent sight, far surpassing any thing in the Alitaey, where the sitectaiors in general will have to ba; dav i t from a great height, on the heads of those engaged in the ceremony. Orders have been given for the Peers, P ivy Council lots, Knight Grand Crosses, and other individuals, who are to take part in the coronation processtun, to we a r ruffs. It h is been detcrtnined to suspend banners from all the figures of angels which terntittate the Gothic arches supporting the roof of Westminster Ilan. 'rue Howl Arms will tumult the subject for each bawler, and the elect produced oval. no doubt, be extrei;iely pleasing. It it as intended to place a transpneucy of the Royal Arius in the window itamiethaiely over the triumphal arch, but it is feared this cumin he completed in time. The final decorations of ‘Vestimitster Hall and the Abbey 'will not be commenced till alter the public shall stave been ge itifv,l to the tttent proposed by the Lord Great Chainb! I ne whole of the Band of Gentletnen Pensioners have received peremptory orders to attend the Cotoneaiwn. Each of their dress-, will cost upwards of 1201. and Irons Inc Tawny of cold lace with which they are orna. wined, each will weigh uncointoonly hi at Y. The Pour Knight's of itelsor have also received orders to attend, an.t the Yen :leo of the Gaalds„ who arc all t.lt, fille lookttl t 4 welt, are to It ire splendid dresses, and will add consttleral.l) to the etket of the royal paii,tarit. Tuesday morning last, as H. Donnelly, of Glane more, Comity of Armagh, was handing a loaded gut', he laid it down on a bench beside him rashly, when it wklit oil; and lodged the contents in the servant maids head, who was in the kitchen. She instantly expired. There is not one Peer nor Peeress living who t as present of the coronation of his late Majesty ! en
