Mr. CALCRA l' said. he should objest to the bringing up of the Report in so china House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked, that the Bill could beopposed on the third reading.

MCQUEEN'S SERVICE OF PLATE.—Dr. LUSH INGTON INS sorry that the Secretary tor Foreign Affairs (Lord Castle reagh) was absent ; but as notice of such motion had been given to his bordthip, lie hit bound to bring it before the House.— His late Majesty in 1808, presented the then Princess of Wales with a service of plate, which her Majesty continued to use until 1814; and on quitting the country at that period, her Majesty delivered it up to Mr. Marsh, of the Chamberlain's Department, for safe custody. On her return her Majesty caused application to be made for it; but lie regretted to say that the Noble Lord at the head of the Chamberlain's Depart• menu had refused to comply with the request and return the pi :de; alleging that it was the property of the Crown. Her Majesty naturally enough telt herself aggrieved, and little expected to have opposed to her in such a matter the nice points of etiquette or of law. The Queen, in addition to the numberless insults and ignominies to which slie had been exposed. was not prepared for this last petty, law insult.—(Cheers.)—.He trusted that Ministers would not shrink from acknowledging a proceed ing which he thought every individual in the land would view with indignation.—(Hear !) He imagined that the whole of this ' transaction could not' be known to the confidential advisers of the Crown ; if it were, he knew not how to reconcile their practices I with their professions of liberality towards the Queen_ He then tamed for copse* of all papers respecting this service of plate. Mr. HOB HOUSE seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed his regret that it should be deemed adviseable to make this motion in the absence of hat Noble Friond. It was. however, undoubt edly true. that a service of plate was ordered her Majesty, while residing at Kensington Fia= ; but it was paid for out of the Lord Chamberlein's Department, and as such was deemed the property of the Crown. He complained of the sudden man ner in which this business was brought forward ; some notice of it ought to have been published, for a notice to an individual was no notice to the House. He trusted that. instead of the motion being pressed, what had reseed might be considered as a notice for Mooday.—(Hear, hear!) Dr. LUBHINGTON said. as he was thus assured of having time. he had no objection to withdraw the motion. He had no wish to take the House by surprise. Motion withdrawn, and notice given for Monday. Some Bills respecting the Stills and Illicit Distillation (Ireland) were t in. Mr. BRIGHT presented a Petition from ;'r. James Mills, who described himself as a British Freeholder. The Petitioner complained Odle public burthens and wasteful expenditure, arid stated that,in the course of the last reign, no less a sum than 8.800,000,0001. was raised on the people. This expenditure, and the evils of which the people !tad to complain, originated in the manner in which the present House of Communs was constituted. By . the standing Orders of the House. it was a high breach of privilege fur any Peer to interfere in the Election ors Member, yet it was flotorioue that a majority of the Members were returned by such influence. The Petitioner then proceeded to came the several Peers, whom he said possessed and used such influence, and enumerated by name upwards of two hundred Members who were thus returned.amongst whom were Lord Castlereagh. Mr. Tierney, 31r. Brougham, Sir James Mackintosh, and others, most eminent in the House. He concluded by offenng to prove the aHegatiuns of the Petition at the Bar, and praying the House to expel the persons so elected, and to impeach the Peers who have thus intet feted. On the question for the Pethion being received, it was sup ported by Mr. Hobhouse. and Mr. Bright, and opposed by Mr. Robinson, Mr. Serjeant Onslow, Mr. k)undas, Mr. Lushiegten, and Mr. Lockhart, and finally rejected without a division.— Adjourned.

Maitland, brother of Lord Lauderdale, as Lord high Commissioner oldie loilian isles, to recover a coot pensatiou it, damages for the injury which the plaintiff alleged his character had sustained, as an officer, by the conduct of Sir Thos. Maitland, in having suspended and dismissed Colonel de Bossett, by a public General Order. issued in Sept.i 817, front the situation which he held in the lonian !ski, of Inspector of Militia, that suspension being contrary to thend.Artiele of War, woich states, that no Com mander in Chief on a foreign station shall cashier, dis- Slii2s, or suspend any commissioned officer, unless with the sentence of a.Court Martial, such sentence having been approved by his Majesty, or by some persons au thorized uncer the Sign Manual to give such authority; or by direction of his Majesty. such thremion being given .through the Commander in Chief of his Majesty's army, and no such order having beet , given by his '.VIAjeSly uu the prestos gocaston. Tl3e order of the &titulars •, sus- TIIE NATIONAL IIt:GTSTEIt !coding the plaintiff, was proved to have been entered in all the orderly books of the troops in the lonian Isles. The order dismissed the plaintiff from his situation, but assigned no reasatt for doing so. Sir H. Torrens was called to prove no order was given by the Duke of York for this sospensico, and Sir H. Tomos, Sit J. Osborne, Sir 11. Clinton, and other officers, were called to pmve the injury such a dismissal would have on the character of a milfrary man. Mr. Scarlen, Lit the part oldie defendant, called Mr. Gott!bourn, the Under Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, to prose that Sir Thomas Maitland, in this case, acted pursuant to the orders received from Lord Hammitt, Secretary of State for the Colonies, communi cating his Majesty's pleasure, that Cal. De Bassett be removed, as by the Charter of the lonian Isles, then recently guaranteed by the Crown of Great Britain, it was provided that no foreigner should hold the situation of Inspector of Militia in those Islands, but that only British or lonian born subjects would be eligible to hold those offices, and that the defendant was hound to obey the order of the Secretary of State; and that in fact the order in this case 1111 l st come from the Secretary of State, and not from the Commander in Chief of the Army, and subject to be regulated by the Civil Department of Government. The Chieflostice summed up the ease to the Jury, who, alter a short deliberation, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, ifici. costs 4us. SECONDARIES' OFFICE, COLEMAN STREET. HALTAM V. KING. In this case a Jury was summoned to assess damages for lows sustained by the plaintiff, in consequence of the negligence of her aent, the defendant, who hal sutiered judgment to go by default. Mr. Serjeant Hosanquet stated, that th• plaintiff, a widow, had, upon the representation of Mr. King, the defendant, been induced to advance the sum offitml. for the purchase of an annuity of 1041. 'rite defendant, whom she appointed her agent on the occasion, assured her that the bargain would be highly advantaneous, and that the annuity was secured by the unewtinthered life • interests of iv% llgentlemint, one of whoin,W hitmore,was abroad, for the education of his children. It was aseer tamed, however, after the money had been paid, that those two securities were insolvent, and that their lite interest had been actually sold belore the negociation was entered into. The plaintiff had now no prospect of getting bask tier purchase money, the security being absolutely void, and was compelled to adopt proceedings against her agent. The learned counsel said, his client would be satisfied u ith her purchase money, and five per cent. interest. Mr. Machin., executor of the plaintiff's husband's will, proved the deed, which spewed the s advanced and the writing of King, who was a party to it. The Jury, after an able charge from the Secondary, brought in a verdist for the plaintiff—Damages 6401. Volta. BOWS BEET.

The robber was brought to the office by Bond, and under went an examination before Sir Robert Baker, who, on the above circumstances being proved, ordered him to be comnsitted for trial. Mr. Furse wished to decline prosecuting on account of the distance he lived limn London, but the Magistrate said be could not possibly let the perpetrator of such a daring act escape, especially as be was a notorious bad character, and as a security for Mr. Furse to proceed with the prosecution, he or dered Bond to detain the property in his possession.
