Personage ; but ought not the House and the country to know a liethio it was intended to snake any grant or pro vision for di. Queen. By the Art, gtauting the Prince of Wales :15,0.0 , 1 a year, she was to receive that ‘lllll during the late King's lite-time; but that Act was to cease with the life of George 1 ti, Souls event bad arrived, and the Queen was now a illiont any provision being made for her—what din the noble land intend to do, or what slims did he propose to g r ant, if' aus ? LORD CASTLEREAGH, in reply, observed that lie thought lie should best consult the interests of the parties, and meet the wishes of the House, by abstaining from remarks on the allbitft that hail been alluded to. It bad already been announced that no new Si rangements were to be brinixlit forward now, what motley would be asked woul4l lie to inert those charges whirls had heretofore been chargeable on the Civil Litt and Consolidated Fund. Mr. TIERNEY declined himself but to be satisfied with this explanation. The Queen was labouring stutter a cloud of suspicion. This it was impossible to deny. Why was it—Why were they forced into such a discussion? Why was the Queen's name omitted in the prayers? Why were they required at one time to pray for the Princess of Wales, and then forbidden to pray for the Queen ; Under such cies unistances, lie felt that he ought not to consent to any vote in favour of the Civil List, until he was told what the money was icor ; the gentlemen opposite bi Id amine the Queen before he would consent to grant them anv moness Mr. BROUGHAM felt himself hound to differ from his Right Hon. Friend. naming or the onlittiog to Name her Majesty, affected not her title to be Queen. The Piayeni might be worded as the IlUble Lord pleased; —the illintriusie personage who was the subject of this I conversation, was as winch Queen as his Majesty was King. She was now the Doyen Consult—that was the law of the land—the same law which gave the Crown to hint who now occupied the Throne. There might be rumours—but against tlbtllb he closed his ears; and, till some charge was preferred against the Qacen, his lips should be sealed. Speaking in his professional capacity, as well as in that of a Meinberof Parliament, he had no opposition, no surmises to offer. He would l,e silent till the attack should be made, if any were contemplated; and should such course be adopted—a eutiuse big with alarming consequences to the Throne as well as to the p. opie—he doubted that the same alacrity to meet accu sation would again be displayed whirls had berme been evinced. Till any such period should as rive, he ousted that all parties would proceed with temper mid cautiuu. (Hear, bear). LORD CASTLEREAGH complimented the excellent and judicious speech just untried, anti added, that when the Civil List question was brought tot ward, of course t yea)! inlinniation would be given as to the charges oil it. .lotion agreed to. eves's.% v, Fen. 22.

Mr. TIERNEY.—Iii the first place, l totally deny the power hi grant this annuity ; because the grant depended on the life of the King, It stood tat a particular tooting; it hail reference to the continuative of the King's life, and was not attached to the particular person a hose rank would be affected by that event. Besides, who is to re ceive this annuity ? Three is now no such person as the Princess of Wake.

Mr. TIER N EY.—'l he grant was not conferred on the individual, but was voted to maintain her rank as Princess of Wales. She ha* ceased to be I's incest' of Wales; there is um such person.

Mr. HUME. —What reason is there, I wish to know, fur not stating specifically, that the annuity formeily granted to the Princess of Wales shall in Wore he paid to her Majesty the Queen? (Hear, hear,) By such a statement the objection of the tight butt. gent. will at once be obviated. . . Mr. LUSHINGION.—It would be impossible to in sert those words, without introducing the name of every other person connected with the grant. The vole states, that 200.00;11. shall be granted to his Majesty fur the dis charge of pensions, ammities, and other payment*, that would be chargeable on the civil list and consolidated fund. but for the itemise of his late Majesty. If there foie one name were introduced, all the rest nmst also be inferted. This sum was granted to his Majesty in the same way as all the others were; and it is competent fur War to order, that payment of that annuity should be made to the Queen which was formerly granted to her by act of philiiiment. Mr. TIERNEY.—There is no person capable of re ceiving the annuity, under the tenni of the grant as it now &Guido. It it lie intended fur the Queen, let it be specifically mentioned. kilt ROBE:ler wish to know whether the money will be issued directly to the Queen, or whether it w ill be subject to the control of Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.--Tlic grant, when made, will be issued under a ieguiar war rant, in the same manner as any other payment coining under this resolution.

LORD ALTHORPE moved that the continuation of the Insolvent Debtors' Act be left out. All the trading Mimesis were against such law. The Reports of the Co iiiii ittees sheis efi how deli ititental it was to trade. and the operation of the law was most prejudicial. The ex peuve of psuceediag against Debtors, where it was re quisite to oppose, consumed what might he left of the estate fur the creditors ; and thus the systems, of fraud was enabled to gain increased strength. It was, he thought, 111061 prejudicial to persevere in a had law ; it would be better to let the existing Art ex pit e.—lie moved that it he an insituetion to the Committee to leave out the pro posed continuation of• the Rill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHIZQUER said, the present Act had Wog been in operation ; the public bail become accustomed to is, and lie II glit it wtas mote de 511allile that the Act should he continued. At a veiy early period the consideration of the law could be resumed. The present law was tindonittedly better than the occa sional Imsolvent Debtors' Acts. Vely little time would elapse betide the Noble Lord could resume the conside oation of the Act. SIR R. WIL•ON was sorry to differ from his Noble Fm iced. He thought it would be injudicious to let the Act expire. Lord Althorp's motion etas negatived.

Mr. KNOX asked, whether the Government had adopted any peculiar measure to suppress the severe proceedings of aimed parties in Ireland, particularly in Galway, and the west of that part of the country. Lord CASTLERF.AGII replied, that extensive measures had been adopted to cheek the proceedings alluded to; _built was considered.• that the police power, aided by the military, would be sufficient to put down the disturbances. Ile did not appre. head that there was any thing of so serious a nature as would require any renewal of so severe a measue as the Insurrection Act. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that the House do now adjourn to Monday.—Agreed to. Adjourned to Monday. As the General Election is likely to follow so closely on the nomination of the Sheriffs, we think it may not be amiss to remind our readers. who fill the offices of Sheriff or Under-Sheriff, that by an Act which passed in the year 1813, the Election Writs are to be delivered to the Sheriffs by the Ge neral Post-office; and for the purpose of enabling the Postmaster General to execute this duty, every Sheriff is required, upon his appointment, to signify to the General Post-office, the place where his offi- - cial business is to be transacted during his Shrievalty. Every Sheriff' who neglects this part of his duty, is, of course, guilty of a misdemeanour ; and if an. election should be delayed in consequence of such neglect, he would also be liable to be punished by. the House of Commons. SEIZURE or RADICAL COFFEE.—OR &Iraq morning several persons, venders of Hunt's Radie4l Coffee, were visited by the officers of Excise, and considerable quantities were seized and lodged in store of the office in Broad Street ; a singular trick was played upon the Excise people, on their appli cation ut the shop of Mrs. Carlile, in Fleet Street, for the same purpose ; it seems that a messenger had been dispatched, apprising Mrs.*Carlile with the probability of a similar attention being paid to her stock of this imitative article, when. she caused a sack to be nearly filled with ashes• and other dirt, with a small quantity of the delinquent article at the top; shortly afterwards the officers arrived, and actually seized the sack and its cmitents, and conveyed it to the grand store in Broad Street, where it now remains. Several other persons have also been proceeded against, and the legallity of selling the powder and also the herb tea will Le shortly decided upon. LORD NELSON.--Lora Nelson was, from his infancy remarkable for his disinterestedness old intrepidity. When at sch►ol at North Val-Lam, the master, the Rev. Mr, Jones, had some remark ably fine pears, which his scholars had often wished for ; but the attempt to guther,thera was, in their opinion, so hazardous, that no one Would undertake it ; when Horatio, on seeing all his compa. nions staggcted ► came forward and offered to brave the danger. He was accordingly lowered down from their dormitory by some sheets tied together ; and thus, at a considerable risk, secured the prize ; but the boldness of the act was all that the young adventurer regarded ; for on being hauled up again, he shared the pears among his scimol-fellows, without receiving any for hims.2lf; and added, " I only took them because every other boy was afraid." Thursday last an escort of diagoors. brought from Exmouth to Ply It a gang of six or sewn smugglers. They were the crew of the Rose, 'snuggling CHILI'''. bound from Cherbourgli for the English coast.
