• 46 (Imperial Parliament continuedfiom page 43.) cave mille reason for asset sing that the QiWIMP had Pnid - efime journals, he hopethlutt the House would not believe the noble bud. Mr. Alderman WOOD had walled to hear proofs of any hills against her Majesty bring unpaid, and of atone) having been paid for processions; and he would give 1001. for ever) -instance of this kind.—(Lheers and a laugh.) The Queen's sower had been quoted, hut oho produced the tid.k. be, however, had consulted the MS. and there it was mitten— s' The People." Was that conduct becoming the head of the ministry ?—(Cheers.)—As to the dreadful assault at Dover it consisted of wine old women laughing at the Italians, and telling them to go home.—(Hear. hear !)—This was •the fact. ' . The House adjourned at a late hour. Wit WA V, IGLU. This being the last day for receiving petitions for the introduction of private bills, the House was occupied fur a-considerable time in the receipt of them. Sir 3. GRAHAM presented a bill for the establishment of a select vestry in the parish of Newington, commonly -called Newington Hons.—Read a first time, and ordered •te be read a second time. Mr. CURTEIS presented petitions from Battle; and other places in Sussex. the farmers resident there com plaining of the depreciated value of all the articles of their produce.—Read, and ordered to lie on the table. Times* THADE.—Mr. MARRICAT presented a peti ties from certain merchants and ship owners, on the subject of the colonial timber trade. The represeuta- Bons of the petitioners were at direct variance with the conclusions of the report of the Lords of last Sessions, respeeting timber in the colonies, &c. The petitions were troth Merrimashie, New Bruns wick. against any immediate alteration of the timber duties. Read, and ordered to lie on the table. KILN A INNAM MEKTINO.-Mr. J. P. GRANT, in the absence of a noble friend, postponed the notice till the 12d inst. for the presenting of the petition re gelding the proceedings at the Kilmainham meeting. The post ponement was on account of the illness of the right hon. aecrethry fp' Ireland (Mr. C. Grant.) EAST brures.—Mr. LAMBTON understood from a letter from the East Indies, that there was apprehensions of the censorship of the 11100, which had been taken off, being about to be restored to die Marquis of Hastings.— Was there any foundation for such apprehension ? Mr. B. BATHURST replied, that no orders of such tendency had been sent from this coentry to India. Mr. LAMBTON was perfectly satisfied with this an swer. Lord G. CAVENDISH presented • petition front Scar. borough (we In here), complaining of ogricultinul dis tress. - Or/FEM.—Sir R. WILSON presented a petition.— Afterthe decisions of that lionise, it was rather a hope less task to present petitions; but he would have the people to persevere. because eventually they might baiter down those ramparts which prevented the people's voice from being heard by the throne—(Cheers.) As to the rumours alike prejudicial to truth and the patties, he begged to refute the calumnies which had been circulated regarding the processions. It was said that the Queen paid for the procession. This was false and ealumnious. Not one farthing had been paid by her orders. The braziers had paid all their own expences, by subscrip tions amongst themselves, and from their masters. 'the procession, the brass work, the insignia, the armour, c l / 4 c. bad coat 7,0001. each procession cost 1,2001. That was paid fur by a subscription of 2s. from the men; the remainder came from the masters. They said, they ehonid have felt disgr aced had they not paid their own expences; their loyalty was not for the Queen alone—it -extended itself to the laws. The petition was from the braziers. It prayed fur iiiimisy, and that the ministers ought to be compelled to pay the expences of the late proceedings against the Queen, and slut grant them one shilling till they recognized all ie rights of the Queen.— (Cheess.) The petition was from the braziers of the metropolis. Read and ordered to be printed, amidst •considei able cheering. Sir It. WILSON then presented a petition from farmers in three parishes in Oxfordshire. complaining of agikul tural distress, Arc. and praying fur a complete change of system, as the only means of extricating the comity from its peseta difficulties. Lord BELGRADE presented a petition from free holders lot Ilse county of Chester, complaining of tho present state of affairs, and the proceedings against the Queen. At the meeting all aas quiet, till sonic in dividuals, from whose situations and loyalty tranquillity might have been expected, created considerable coaliti onal. Ile complained of the charges of disaffection so liberally bestowed on the people of England. St as it just to endeavour to persuade the monism,' that he reigned over bands of coo/phallists ? And if they were traitors, was it putitic to tell them so beim e the blow was inflict ed ? And if it were not true, was it just flues to brand a gallant and suffering nation? (Chews.) He also cons plaivad of the conduct of the shoal tit the meeting, who had interfered with the exercise of their popular rights. He claimed the right of exercising Isis own discretion— but let it be remembered, that the law ended where dis cretion began. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BRIGHT did nut say that the sheriff was bound to Call a meeting—but if lie did call it, lie aas bound to call opinions fairly. He was not to defraud the people of their rights. It was said that the laws were Open; but if there were any justice lett, that house ought to have the sheriff ill question at their bar. He had impeded time most_ precious privilege of the people, the right of poi tioning that house as well as the soiirreigli ; Uhil to throw obstacles in the way of that proceeding he deemed is breach of the privileges of that house, and lie hoped it would be stewed in such light. (Hear, hear.) The right of petitiunisig, all Ins reading au ulnitivaiion taught him to believe, was tit the greatest importance to the liberties of the people ; and if that minima to perform its duties by the people, lie thought they would slut tail to take serious notice of the euntlller of the sheriff: Mr. B. WILISRA HAM did nut see how that house could be called upon to interfere with the conduct of the sheriff; he had not violated any of their prifileges. As to the conduct at the asserting, teats and confusion would sometimes take place on such occasions; but had they nut heard of such things Its hissing in a deliberative assembly, allele better things ought to be expected ? Mr. CILEE EN adverted to the hisses that had beets made in that house—at the time of the pm urogation, lie pit sullied, was ;maul. lie did not heat hisses, but Ise LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. MONDAY, PM b. THE KING V. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT AND OTHER!. The Court was this morning oct:upied until one o'clock in hearing Mr. Bill's argument, to spew that the array of the Special Jury W3l, improperly struck by the Master of the Crown Office, in the case of the King v. Major Cartwright, Messrs. Wooler, Ste. and that therefore a new trial ought to be granted. The Chief Justice.—As the Court must go to ; Guild hall ordered that the case should stand over until Wed nesday next. The Solicitor General.—" Sir F. Burdett's case stands over until Wednesday next, my Lords." Chief Justce.—" But this has priority. We shall resume the hearing of this case on Wednesday morning, and let Sir Francis Burden's, should there not be time for that also, 5131111 over until Thursday." WEDNESDAY, FEi. 7. THE SING 0. TYLER. The defendant was (nought up to receive the judgment of the Court, convicted of " Paine's Age of Beason." The prosecution was instituted by the Society for the suppression of vice. The defendant had put in an affidavit charging one of the witnesses with wilful and corrupt perjury Mr. Justice Bayley, delivering the judgment of the Court, aninsadverted with severity upon the misconduct of the defendant. The Court, under all the circum stances, did order and adjudge that the defendant be imprisoned three calendar months in the House of Cor rection, Coldhath-fields, and at the expiration of that team, enter into his own recognizance fin good behaviour during the space of three years. THE WING V. MAJOR CARTWRIGHT, EDIROPRIA, ROOM?. AND OTHERS._ Mr. Ilill was again heard in behalf bf Major Cart. wright in support of the application for a new trial. Mr. Pendergast also, on the part of Maddox, sup. ported the motion. Mr. Edmonds then ►roceeded to state and urged his grounds for a new trial, viz. of the manner in which the Jury was packed and selected, and consequently was a partial one. lie reflecsed upon the conduct of tne Lord Chief Baron at the trial w•th much good humour. which created continual laughter it► the Court ; but he slid not directly impow any bad motives in the conduct of the Learned Judge. lie urged that they had nut a fair trial—and that from the manner the Jury was packed, they were prejudiced against them ; that their minds were biassed, and that they were chiefly pelt. sinners to Government, and avowed enemies to radical reform. Alr. Edmonds, concluded a very vehement speech •f an hour's !toga', with saying that he had sacrificed much already in the cause which be had so dearly ;mused, and he doubted not but he should be called upon to sacrifice a great deal more, and that ultimately that cause, which is so lunch persecuted by the present administration, must be adopted by the British Govern ment and its Courts of Justice ; and if that took place in his life time, he should die with pleasure after hating lived to witness the salvation of his country. Mr. Woofer next addressed the Cowl, and having again adverted to the manner in which the master of tho crown office had summotwd the Jurors, contended that the absence of Mr. Peach, who ought to have bean upon the Jury, Witb still unexidaiiied, unless it was said the Sheriff of the county of NVarwick did not summon bins. lie complained that the refusal of the Judge to allow tho array to be challenged, was not to be supported by any practice known to the law which regulated the right of trial by Jury. Mr. Wook•r cautioned a lung and mentative speech until three o'clock. The Judges then, after some deliberation, intimated that they could go na further this day, and accordingly. liostpuned their decision upon the mutton until Satur. day next. Major Cartwright left the Court very soon after two o'clock. THE XING V. G. MRAGG. Mr. Clark pritietitiejudgMentOlthe Court on the, defendant who was found guilty at the last Warwick Assizes of selling the ninth tititnlier of " The Re. publican." Nlr. Justice Hest react the indictment. . Tile defendant put in an affidavit, in which ne stated that he believed that his punishment had been inzreasvil, when he received sentence on a former occasion, for similar offence, by its having been then charged against him that there was another prosecution pending against him. The Chief Justice ohsereed—" I do nut know why Ito states that. We don't allow one prosecution to aggravate the punishment following another. Mr. Denman addressed the Court for the defendant, who, he said, had been under an impression that the circumstances of a second prosecution had increased the pimislinient inflicted for the first ()Noce. The defen dant considered the terms of the libel indefensible, and he made nu defence at his trial. That circuuista►ice might induce the Court to be lenient. Punishment had produced the desired effect with respect to the de fendant, who had lost his shop, his trade, and his; health. Ilia family, consisting of a wife and four children, wcro also in iliitreir3. a.. THE NATIONAL REGISTER gloried its having been one of those who cried " Shame, shame !" As to the conduct of the sheriff at Chester, hail that person refused to put a particular question, lie should move to have that sheriff called to their bar, and lie hoped he should be supported in such proceeding by the house. —(Hear, hear ) Mr. J. BEN NETT also declared that the sheriff ought to be called to their bar. Sir J. NEWPORT said, if such conduct were to be permitted, if would indeed be a " farce" to talk of the people having the rizitt of petition. Mr. S. WORTLEY thought that sheriffs ought not to suffer their political sentiments to interfere with their public duties. If requisitions were property prepared and presented, the sheriffs he considered to be bound to convene meetings. Lord BELGRAVE said, that he was close to the she riff's chair at the meeting, and lie could adduce witnesses to prove the facts he had stated. Petition complaining of the sheriff, &c. read, and or dered to lie un the table. M►. Alderman WOOD gave notice, that on Monday next he ►hould move for a select committee to inquire into the state of London Bridge. Mr. G.

The Queen's Annuity Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. NAPLES.—Mr. DENISON asked whether any orders had been Own to stop vessels in the Mt diterrancan going to Naples with meal stores, gunpowder, lire. He had understood such was the fact, and that this mode was to he adopted to prevent thr patriots from defending their just rights against the arbitrary and monstrous threats of some foreign powers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that he believed the lion. member had been wholly mis understood , he was not aware of any such order having been issued. Mr. DENISON was happy to hear this intelligence. One of his constituents was loading a ship of gunpowder, and therefore was anxious to learn the truth. On the motion that the house resolve itself into a com mittee of supply, Mr. GORDON asked wkat new progress was being made with the New Post Office? Mr. LUSHINGTON replied, that too objects had been had in view—the improvement of the City as welt as the election of a New Post Office; the first point had been attained. Mr. WILLIAMS observed, that no improvement of the city had been accomplished. There was a great waste space and some palings, but nu more. The House went into, such committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed to cont . the Malt Duties. He explained that lie pro posed to continue the annual duties of 3,0;:0,0001. that had been granted for five years, and to transter to such accounts the duties on foreign spirits, made Willleg, Fee.
