He bad certainly intemled to move fur papers, as connected with the case of Mr. Chamberlain , the address called for other papers, assuming Cult irregularities had taken place. He be_ged to state that the Vice Consuls did not receive any fees, receipt whet were paid as notulial fees. His Lordship read extracts from Mr. Chamberlain's correspondence to vliewdltus much. He put it to the house whether this was a proper course, to proceed to move such au address without any notice or communication. Mr. lIUME was astonished at what had fallen from the noble lord. When he presented the petition of ib Bluish inerehents at the Breads, complaining of tide subject, Ida Lordship said be might have all the information 11141 i correspondence if he would only move foe them.—(Hear.)—lie bad therefore moved for the imormatimi. As to the fees, the noble lord appeared as iguoraut of them as ever. After the declaration lie thought notice was unnecessary; it' lie had Reprehended that there would be le tst opposition, he certainly should not have mined for the paper, without communicating to the noble Lord his ititentiou. The fact was, if papers wire not applied fur early in the eveuiug, there was no .Rance of submitting any such mot ion. Lord LONDONDERRY snit), he was quite satisfied with the explanations. Ile was only anxious to remove the Mires rdan that his office had promoted this motion. His Lordship added, that further information than was required by the ad dr.ess would be requisite to give full knowledge of the question. Mr. HUM E was willing to withdraw the address, if the noble lied would prepare a letter. The motion for the ad.tress was accordingly discharged. Lord DINNING presented a petition from the proprietors of inns, &c. 0111 the Dover road, coinplaining of the injury they sus tained from the Calais steam boats, and praying • tax on the boats. (Some laughter.) It inijit be 11111t14111 to some, but it would be of the most serious consequences ; for he be lievud that 1200 horses were about to be sold, nod '7OO families were likely In be ruined. (Hear.) Mr. 13ERNAL said the petition merited attention. Mr. CALCRA rr was astonished at the degeneracy of prin ciple that now marked Rochester, as compared with what was the case when lie represented that city. (t laugh.) The con •ejance now adopted was comfortable, expeditious, and cheap ; and was it to be adopted on the grounds here stated Mr. H. GURNEY spoke o: the hardships to which aliens bad been subjected at Gravesend. Mr. PEEL said it was his intention to establish arrangements at the custom-house regarding aliens, to prevent the necessity of their stopping at Gravesend. He had only waited to see whether the (Weis steam boat project would succeed : —it bad succeeded; and the requisite arrangements at the custom-house would be made forthwith. Petition read, and ordered to be printed. Sir B. MARTIN (in reply to an enquiry made by Colonel Davis on a former night) stated that the Turkish vessel alluded to had entered this country as a merchant ship ; that the vessel was net mounted with 5$ gnus and that 400 British seamen were not on board. There was one such seamen on hoard ; it was true .10 had twee spoken to. If the vessel con travened the laws, it must be answerable for the consequences. (Hear, hear.) It must depart as • merchant vessel. Col. DAt said be was perfectly satisfied with the explana tioil. What he had stated had bete communicated to him on good authority. Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from Hornsev, High gate, &c. against the Highgate Chapel Bill. Referred to the committee. 11r. COULBURN presented a petition from four commis &ton. rs appointed to enquire into the courts of jostle:, In land, •uedicatiug themselves against expressions in Ilarou O'Gradj letter. Mr. HUME asked when these commissioners were likely to terminate their labours Mr. GOULBURN said, he could not tell; they had been appointed under an act of Parliament ; and they had fulfilled their duties hitherto faithfully. Mr. HUME bad raised no question on that subject; but he must question the propriety of appointing Mr. Plunkett to be one of the commissioners. He was too join% a man, be had nut experience enough for inch an office. Mr. GOULBURN said, whatever might be Mr. Plunkett's age, be must deny that such gentleman was deficient in the re quisite experience and ability. Petition ordered to be printed. ALIEN PEEL moved the third reading of the Aliens' Regulation Bill. Mr. BERNAL opposed the bill, though the state of the house did not encourage him to go into any details. The bill was now avowedly a precautionary measure ; it was not to meet a specific evil, but it was a bill perpetual in its principle. Mr. \\ ETHERELL strongly supported the bill. Such a power must be lodged somewhere; and whLre could it be lodod with more advantage, with more security, than with the Crown Mr. DENMAN opposed the bill, contending that its principle was unjust, and that it operated most injuriously, as fur as the character and best interests of the country were concerned. Sir H. WILSON also opposed the biill. There was not in all the Peninsular Governments any thing which at all resem bled an Alien lid, and it was dis,rraceful to the British Go vernment to have one iu this country. lie considered the bill as derogatory to our character abroad, and injurious to our iutereris at home. He had no doubt the bill would pass this but it was satisfactory to him to know that an hon. friend of his, the member for the city of Durham, wou:tl move its repeal at au early period of the next session. Colonel S'FANHOPE defended the bill, which he said, so far from oppressing foreigners, protected them. The well dis posed foreigner, who came. here tor business or pleasure, would find the country open to him for either of these purposes; all ti at this bill nid was to prevent the ill-disposed and designing from it akiog this country tbepest-bouse of Europe. Mr. Searleit and Mr. Lockhart opposed the bill. After smile further debate the question for the third reading was rained, on a division, by alarge majority, and the bill was privr.ed.

This was an action on apo icy of insurasince. In July, 1816, the brig Nathan sailed front Liverpool for the coast of Africa, for the purpose of bringing home a cargo of palm oil. On the sth of Nov. following, her cargo, of which our-fourth belonged to the bankrupt Jones, was insured for 4,5001. In May or Jutie, 1817, Jones received a letter from the Captain. dated Nov. 1516, stating that the vessel was then at Bonus, that be expected to complete the voyage in ten months, and would write by every opportunity. This, however, was the only letter he received from hint. On the 6th of Sept. 1517, Jones wrote to his brokers in Lond•tn to effect an additional insur ance of 1,001. upon the cargo ; in consequence of with. h, the prescut policy was executed on the Sth. Oti the lout Jones wrot: another letter to his brokers, stating that his reason for making the additional insurance was the nueasiaess of Mfrs. Roberts, the captain's wile, at the vessel being so long, past due. It turned out that the vessel was wrecked oft Piince's Island, and the captain and two mates being dead, the Portu gueze Governor took possession of the cargo, and sold it for the benefit of the patties. The amount of the first insurance was paid ; and the present action was brought to recover 251.8. the bankrupts share of the last policy, which was resisted on the ground that when effecting the insurance, lie bad not coo• ninnicated to the underwi iter the receipt and contents of the cc stain's letter, by which he would have been enabled to form a tame accurate judgment oldie risk he was encountering.

This was an action of hover brought by the assignees of John 11 bkinson, au alleged bankrupt, to recover the amount of a quantity of oil from the defendant. The case turned upon the question, wlietlwr Mr. %V ilkinson was or wts not a trader within the meaning of the bankrupt laws ; to establish the affir mative of which, Mr. Scarlett, the leading counsel for the plaintiffs, stated that he was prepared to offer some additional e% blence to that which had been adduced in the other case on Saturday last ; but being afterwards unable to produce the evidence lie e%- peeled, lie said lie would submit to a nonsuit ; and the plaintiffs were accordingly called. Volta. BOW-STREET. At.r.gnEn Fnaun l PUN THe N oat t.crY.—Jame Phil lips, an saucily mail, of very reel eatable appearance, was brought before Sir K.

DLitt: CC AT VAL ALIALL Tlsomas Biali, ..c;~ ?4£ one of the principal proprietors of Vauxhall-gardeas, attended at this onice In prefer a complaint against William and John Creed, brothers awl lineo•drapes, of New-street, Covent garden, mud Edward Lancaster, woollen-draper, of Tavistock. street, fur hnving given very great and general olTeace to the company oo Mond.iy night. The three defendants were, upon presenting themselves to the Magistrate, K. J. Chambers, Esq. dressed like shopkeepers._ When at Vsusball, they had green um kkerchiefs. round their necks, and wore coats and trowsers which in cut and colour corresponded with those ornaments. Mr. * Bish stated, that at 11 o'clock the defendants entered the gardens, and showed at that moment a disposition to insult every body. They hallooed through the walks, broke through several companies, knocked of the hats of gentlemen, and adopted in every respect the conduct of the theatrical heroes whose example had operated so much to the injury of the lower orders. There were many persons of distinction in the gardens at the time, and the chiof proprietors thought proper, upon learn ing tit it the defendants were persevering in this scandalous course of amusement. first, to send Mr. Simpson, the superin tendent, to expostulate with thew, nod afterwards to place them in the hands of the police. Mr. Simpson's interference buying produced no other effect than that of exasperating them to a more o:Tensive line of conduct, the advice and threats of the officers were laughed at by the three gentlemen, who continued to perform the parts they had selected to astonish the pvealic in, until they were collared and dragged out of the gardens to the watchhouse. Hill, the officer deposed, that by the direction of Mr. Simp son, he followed the defendants, and saw them insult several gentlemen. There were other fellows int the gardens, who wit ness believed, were of the tame party, and constituted • very formidable gang ; but when the defendants were disposed of all order was quickly restored. Oar loan appeared in a Highland dress, and having attracted notice by that singularity, and by • very close imitation ot the Toss and Jerry school, ocoasictially drew • dagger, to the terror of the ladies, and brandished it in a most theatrical manner. This gentleman became as quiet as the rest, upon hinting that the proprietors were determined to remove all blackguards, itness added, that the defendants told him they went to the gardens to have a lark. Mr. Chambers expressed great indignation at the conduct pursued the defendants, and highly approved of Mr. Ilisli's determination to bring such offenders to justice. There were, he observed, two courses to be proposed—tlie one was a pro secution ; the other a flue, upon pair) of prusecation, and a public apology in the newspapers. Either of these would be satisfac tory, but one of them was indispensably necessary, as well for the sake of the proprietors as of the public. Mr. fish niche lie should proceed upon the suggestion of tie magistrate, and the defendants declared that they were ready to comply with the mild alternative proposed by Mr. Chambers.— They had, they avid, drank too much wine. The pimprietors merely demanded, that in order to pre vent a prosecution the sum of forty shillings each should bo paid by the defendants, anti that the apology should be signed upon the spot, This being done, the money was sent (Alto th• committee now sitting for the relief of the famishing Irish. Mr. Bish declared that the proprietors had determined to leave the gardens most vigilantly w atched, and to punish every parson who. disturbed the company.
