The LORD CHANORIOR give notice of its being intended to resume the hearing of Appeals on Wednesday next. QUEEN—PETITIONS,.*e. Lord ERSKINE presented Petitions from Banff. Dumfries, Arbroath, Beechin and Crieff, in Scotland. praying that all further proceedings against the Queen might be discountenanced and put an end to, deprecating the late proceedings, and praying fur ther, that her Majesty might be restored to all hes rights and privileges, and that her name might be restored to the Liturgy. Lord EKSKINE also presented a similar Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons a the City of London. The Earl of DARNLEY presented a similar Pell- Lion front Kent, agreed at a Meeting of the County. Ilia Lordship adverted to the refusal of the Sheriff Is convene e county Meeting, mid took occasion to oh- serve upon the danger that must arise to the liberty of the subject, if the right of petitioning was to be obstructed or prevented by the conduct of Sheriffs, who might be under the influence of the Crown. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the She riffs were appointed, if hr might use the expression, in so judicial a way, that the influctice of the Crown had nothing tudo with it. In the first place, three Clew tlemen for each county were returned by the Judges, upon their oaths, to the Privy Council sitting in the Coedit( Exchenser, afterwards, on the appoint meat, the first name of the three was invariably unless sufficient reasons were alleged on behalf of the party to alter that coarse of nomination. There was, therefore, no ground for inviting that the Sheriffs of Counties were in any respect hithirrifell by the Crown in the exercise of that discretion with regard to calling county neeetings, which undoubtedly belonged to Cern.. The Earl of DARNLEY, in esplanation, said, that hr slid not mean to impute that the is.:lsience of the Crown was exercised in the appointment of Sheriffs, hut merely to observe, that, under other circumstances, they might be made the instruments of the Crowe to obstruct very materially the right of petitioning. The Earl of GROSVENOR adverted to the pro ceedings at the Chester County Meeting, for the pur pose of 'hewing the very extraordinary conduct of the Sheriff, who hail chosen totalse upon himself to decide that an amendment proposed by him (Lord Grosvenor) was irrelevant, without putting any question upon it to the meeting, and who had afterwards also taken upon himself to decide that the address was agreed to, and refused, although called upon to do so, to adopt any mode by which the sense of the meeting could be rosily ascertained. Ile trusted that this extraordinary COW duet of the Sheriff, so snbversive of the rights of the subject, would be made the subject of animadversion, if not in that House, in.the other House of Perliament, and that some means would be found of marking it with a proper severity of censure. The Petition was read and ordered to lie on the Table. The Earl of DARNLEY observed, with regard to the exclusion of the Queen's name from the Liturgy, that that unfortunate measure had been the sole cause of all the evils that had arisen out of the steps taken respecting the Queen, and he trusted that Mi nisters would not endeavour to influestee the House of Commons to refuse to call upon the Cretin to re store her Majesty's name to the service of the church. Should, however, they succeed in setting the Howe of Cotuntons and the country in diametrical Disposi tion to each other, thereby furnishing the strongest argument for Parliamentary Reform, he should feel it his duty to move their Lordships' House foe the restoration of her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, with the confidence he was entitled to feel, that, as on the late occasion, a number of Member. of that House would refuse to be influenced by those consi derations which might operate upon other occasions, and that Ministers could not, as they found before, command a majority- Lord HOLLAND presented a similar Petition front the Corporation of Nottioghane, to which he had the bonoar to belong, but withdrew h on account of • clerical error. His Lordship also presented a similar Petition from a Corporation to which be said he had also the honour to belong, but he was afraid be wool a very Inefficient Member—the Corporation of Illessaner men of Perth. He hoped, however, that the nail they had in hand would drive t h e expressions in the Speech from the Throne; would go a grrV way to allay the irritation that prevailed. here wanted nothing but fur their Lordships to ear their prayers. ',be Petition was ordered to lie upon the Table. Lord ELLENDOKOUGH observed, that some of the Pr: Wolters appeared to petition in , free:owe of the real Were of the locative respecting Which- they prayed the House.

His objection was, to the calling a Comely Meeting la Haaipshire, after sit sense of the county bad been saliciestly expressed. as he thoeght, by as Address Aligned by 9.000 free holders, such County Meeting being, is fact, smiling more than the assembling of a mob, sad at which emit the County Member could net be heard, except tbrnugh the protection of the Noble Earl.

The object of the-Bill of Pains and Penalties was to deprive her Majesty of all those privily's, immunities, and exemptions, which apper- Weed. to her u {luta Consort, and that Bill being throws out, of course her Majesty's rights remained as they were before, untouched end undiminished. L.M lit/LLANO said, that the Noble Lord might Imre made up hit mind upon the question as to the right if the Quoin to have her name inserted in the Liturgr, that no such right existed, 1 . it undoubtedly there were men high in the law, and others eminent ia er e r , who were of dpinion, that the, ueen had s a right to have her name inserted in the Li.
