Fite CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was prepared to insist inquiry. After sonic remarks from Sir J. Sebright, Arc. the mo tion was withdrawn. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the brewers of Berchin, Scotland, against a clause In the last Scotch malt ucts.—Ordered to lie on the table. The report of the lottery bill was presented, and agreed to ; and the bill (for 60,0001.) ordered to Ise read a third time tu.morrow. EXTRA Porr.—On the question that the report of the extra post bill he 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 be calculated to affect existing plans. Mr. F. LEWIS was also against the bill. The post office could transmit letters as rapidly as Mr. Burgess, if they did not convey passengers. The gallery was then cleared for a division. The num bers were, for the receiving of the report 31, against it Sy. The bill was accordingly lost. Pons SCARLETT, in moving that the re port of the poor laws' bill be further considered, said , he should not trouble the house at any length ; he should withdraw it for the present session. Mach had been said and written against the measure to influence the public istiud—hut he should renew the bill nest session. Bill postponed, after some remarks from Sir R. Wilson. The remaining orders,the appropriation bill, &c. having been disposed of the house adjourned. TUESDAY, JULY S. Mr. Johnson presented accounts of the Linen Board, Ireland. Abmtuxt.Tx HALF•PA Y.—Mr. CALCRAFT said, in consequence of the petition of Mrs. Beevan and Mrs. Halifax, complaining of their lialfisy being withdrawn since ISIS, he should move for the production of the ad miralty order of that year, warranting such withdrawal.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 W alcheren. The case was a very hard one ;it called at least for explanation. He concluded with mov log for a copy of the admiralty order of ISIS. Sir G. COCKBURN catered into the requisite expla nations. The practice was, when an officer was sick, to permit him to remain in an hospital, or elsewhere, for six weeks ; but it he were then pronounced incurable, he was placed on the half-pay list, and removed to some place of security, such as Horton; and as to the half of the half-pay that had been granted to Mrs. Beevan, it was to be looked on as a boon; it was not what she was entitled to by the regulations of the service. If the friends took ease of the invalid they had the half pay. As to granting the half pay in 1804, for government were afterwards round to be maintaining the individual, while the half pay was recived by the family. He concluded with moving the previnua question. Sir J. YORKE said, that he had visited these ofhcers at Miles's establishment, Heaton, and he certainly found that insanity levelled all distinctions ;—they were in a iiiismable plight. Regarding the half of the half pay, it was the result of arrangement ; one half went to the Go vermi itt fur the better maintenance of the unfortunate officers, the other halt to the families. The government, he thought, hail nothing to do with it; the arrangement had been made. Mr. (;ALCRAFT said, he should not press the motion tinder the present circumstances; he thought it would be extremely injudicious, but lie could not think that the explanation was very satisfactory. Next year, however, when the cases of talkers so calamitously circumstanced came before the house, lie should call particular attention to them. He should withdraw the motion for the present. Motion withdrawn. FoREION GoVEittiMliNTS.—Mr. PEEL said he wished to submit a question to the noble secretary of state for the tot eign department. An individual of has natne, and to whom lie was nearly related, after a residence of' seven years at Leghorn, had been ordered by the Tuscan go vernment to depart front that place within 24 hours. He complaint d to the commissary of police, but the reply that he was a bad moral character. He was obliged to depart, umnithstanding the incouvenience to his coin 'nee cial affairs; and lie withdrew to Florence, but had been unable to obtain any explanation. He wished to knew whether the noble kid had lu:cived any iutclli geucr oil this subject. Marquis of LONDONDERRY spoke of the respectable character borne by the individual in question, as a British merchant. Oar wiui t. r these had immediately inter ft red, but tin explattation could be obtained ; doubtless the inconvenience ',soli( d Irons some false intelligence, for intliv;dtials in foreign COMMIE'S were not always se cure from malevolence.—(llear, hear! ) His lordship added, that eventually all impediments tot the return of this getleman lust becu retained; however, he was happy to state, that what had happened had in no nay affected the individual's character as a mei chant. R. 11 ILSON said, that the great obstacle in the svit,s of stscoessful inquiry% as the alien bill; and he there- . kilt: hoped that:N.oule Lind would avail himself of the eatliest opi:orttloity to lepeal su odious a (Hem ') Lt Ns ITUTIONM, .V,SOCIATION. Mr. I iOB HOUSE presented a petition hum Benbow, of the tits mot, api lute. , out now .1 pi isoner in the King's Bench. An I•iilictuient had been futond against hint, but as surety was required nut only for Id% oppeiti alter, hot also for his good beast/tour, lie was inutile tu procure sureties. The find ing of a new indictment mule such sureties liable. He was sent to prison in May last, and he WAR now com pletely ruined; so that the association would lease the satisfaction of knowing that they had de,troyed one man, ithutit even briogiog him tu trial. Besides, the peti tioner cumplaitied of tiie delay of justice; the 'nisi, in stead of coming oil al Ilse sittings atter the present ir to his isiespressible ustimisl •11l it was postponed till the middle of October, the court, it beiug said, being wanted for some persons count:vied with that culonatiuti which was intended to relehrate a cutichatit betweeta the and lens people. He should hereafter muse all address to We King, praying that lie would ihrect the uelootion ul measures thst would prevent the delay of justice, which was a viulatiou ot Magna Luigi tr.—(llese.)

THE NATIONAL REGISTER Mr. SCARLETT was glad to hear what had fallen from the crown's law °Meer, and condemned the character aid principles of this association. As ill Sudety; such security for good behaviour, it became impassible. As to the postpone meat of trials, he hoped the elrctiontence would he COO. tittered before the sittings were Axed for Octobers this had been submitted to for two pear—but if gentlemea were re attired to at tend to the profession of the law, they tomtit not be expected to attend all the year round, Sundays excepted.— He also was sorry to And that no progress bad been made in the erection of new courts; so that be rested neat lens they would be subjected to the inconveniences of having separate and distant courts. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR thought that it would ►e adel-es able to take into consideration whether it would not be ud. vuntageous to free the Common Pleas from the trammels which now bound that court, and enable it, like the King's Bench, to try criminal causes. What he thought of was the public—he aas for preventing the delays of Justice. Mr. DENMAN said, be should look at aoy oath akeration with considerable jealousy. He had heard what bad fallen from the Attorney General with much satisfaction. The practice of binding over fur good behaviour had originated with Loud Sidmontb's famous circular. To try the correct ness of the circular, Mr. Butt brought an action against Sir N. Conant ; and Mr. Batt was now in•prisosed for the cosies Sir N. Conant's costs had, he understood, been paid by the treasury l Was that fact true?—Petition read, and ordered to he printed. Stem', •an Norms'—Colonel DAVIES presented a petition from Capt. Romeo, setting forth the services belied ✓endered to the Sicilians, and particularly to the British 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 lordship had directed Sir W. A'Court to institute all possible enquiry. and to see that Capt. R. experienced no vexatious resentment on aireoun of his pelitical character, or of his services to the British army. He thought there was no case made out to warrant the interference of the house. _ _ . . Lord W. BENTINCK admitted. that if Capt. R. had demands fur services, they ought to have been made to him I but bit sufferings and losses in consequence of his connection with the British army stood on quite a different fouling As to the pension, it should have beets more, or nothing at all ; sad the money rendered for the pension should have been oat a more liberal scale. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON said, the services of Captain Romeo had met with taunting insult. That was most unjust. The Br' h officers had said that Captain Romeo's conduct towards the British army had drawn on him the enmity of his own government. He thought Captain Romeo was en. titled to the generous consideration of this country. Captain DA VIS replied, there were certificates in support of Captain Romeo's conduct from those Neapolitan officers, Ore. on whose subsequent statements the noble marquis now relied. He hoped the government would re•cons+dcr the case. Petition ordered to lie on the table. Mr. W. SMITH presented • petition from various persons, complaining of extents in aid—the lion member elating, that the subject culled for the interference of parliament.— Ills former bill had done much gond, the extents in aid having been reduced hum 249 in one scar to twenty or less. He had not yet been able to examine the cases submitted to him, nhich accounted for the delay that had taken place. Mr. S. WHITBREAD then brottAht forward liis motion on the Bridge•stvet association, conchal) ll iii g the society, and maintaining that it was contrary to the principles and spirit of the constitution. He concluded with moving an address to the King, praying, his Majesty to direct the Attor ney-General to enter a Noll Prosarti in all the proceedings in timed by the society styling itself the Constitutional Association. Mr. Bathurst, Dr. Lushington, Sir M. Cholmondely, Mr. Wilberforce, and Mr. Denman followed. . The ATTORNEY GENERAL opposed the motion, considering that it would be premature to agree to any such proposition. Mr. BROUGHAM strongly condemned the nuocintion, which he said was better known try the name of " the Bridge-street gang." The motion was eventually negatived. The house then adjourned.

CHOIR AND MUSICAL DerARTMENT.—The Organ to he used on this occasion is nearly erected, in gallery over the Alter, in Westminster Abbey. It is not the one that has been mentioned, but one beapoLe by his Majesty's State Officers, and made by Mr. Elliot, of the City-road. The keys are brought a considerable distance from the pipes, so that the ',laver may be near the band and princiiial -vices. Mr. kityvett, seta. as Organist of his Majesty's Chapel Royal, is to preside at it over the choir department • and Mr. Shield, 35 Ma ster of his Majesty's Band of :Musicians over the 11131f11. mental ; the vocal, will be confined to the Gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapels Royal, and the Choir of West minster Abbey, and the distritinental to his Majesty's Band of Musicians, as appointed by the Lord Cham berlain. Two new Anthems (the words selected by the Arch bishop of Canterbury,) are composed for the occasion by Mr. Attwood and Mr. W. Knyvett, by virtue of ollice a' Composers to the King. 7'e Deus, Sacra ment Sanctuses, and Handers Grand Coronation Au them, will likewise be performed ; but the Musical Service much shorter than at the Coronation of his lam Majesty. The appropriation of the Galleries in Westminster Hall has not yet taken place. Models and ',Saul have been sent to the Lord Great Chamberlain far this purpose, and his Lordship was on Monday en , - gaged in arranging the order in which t he various 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 parts of the ol d timber, which is supposed to have stood there from the time of Rufus. This consisted of what has been termed Irish oak and Spanish chesinit. Many logs of it were preserved by the workmen, and have been manufactured into snuffboxes, which are highly prized : some of them bear an inscription, stating the material of which the? are composed, and that it procured during the repairs of W estminster Hall for the Coronation of George IV. All time last Coronation arceunts state that, during the banquet in Westminster Hall, baskets and ha oil kerchiefs were let down from• the galleries, in whit:: wine and provisions were drawn up for the gratiticatom of those woo had not come provided with refreshen. tea. This practice, so indecorous, as well as to irregulAr in appearance, will be strictly prohibited on the preseilt occasion. No person will be allowed to take any boo dle or basket with them into the Hall ; and to olivi.!:e all difficulty is to refreshments, proper persons will be appointed to sell every thing which may lie desired at fixed prices. Westminster Hall has been crowded each day s i nce Monday, Irons nine o'clock in the morning until three in the afternoon, by a great assemblage of respicial .a persons, under the sanction of the tickets issued by I ;la!

The awning over the platform leaning from the Hall to the Abbey is nearly finished. The platform is cipitit 1,200 paces in length, and if spacious booths tvere erected to the full extent at each side, nearly half a million of people might sec the procession. l'lic regulations fur admitting the company into the Hall, and for their departure, are admit able.—W bets tilled at the Coronation, it will present a grand and mag nificent sight, far surpassing any thiw 4 in the Abbey, where the specia:ors tit general wiil ogre to Ittok doed it from a great height, on the heads tit thus.: ctigageil in the ceremony.
