Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE wished to correct a mistake that bad gone forth, as to what he had said last tight on this subject.. He found that one or two of the daily papers had stated that he meant to bring forward a motion in reference to it, whereas he had no such intention. All that be had said was, that the subject was very im portant, and that he hoped some llentletnan would bring forward a motion upon it. For his own part he should be ready to giro his eatoostooppart to ontylioo.igootitoo who should introduce an amended Bill for the purpose of rrli..ving grievances of which the petitioners com plained, The petition was ordered to lie on the table sad to be printed: MARRIAGt ACT.

Colonel SKEFFINOTON moved for a Copy of the o'- fit-la Lettrr sent from the Castle of Dublin, on the 22d November, to the Colonels Cominandutant of Militia Regiments in Ireland; also for a Copy of the Renton stram e against it; and for a Return of the effective Strength of the Staff of Militia Regiments in Ireland.— Ordered. Mr. CORBETT presented a petition from the mer chants and traders of Shrewsbury, against the Insolvent ' Debtors' Act. After a few words from Mr. H. G. BRNNEI', Mr. Alderman WOOD desired to know, from the Se• cretary to the Treasury, whether there was not a new Conn to be established for the trial of cases under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. He understood that a house in Lincoln's lan Fields, which had belonged to one of the Judges, was taken for the purpose. He thought this an extravagant expenditure of the public money, and he ear nestly hoped the project would be abandoned. He now wiihed to know whether the money had been absolutely laid out for the purpose in question. Mr. HERRIBS repted that particular circumstances rendered such an expenditure necessary, and that all the details should be laid before the House in due time. 8M LL Lord ALTHOPP, in rising to submit a motion to the House respecting small debts, ob.erved that the present mode of colletion was extremely expensive and vexatious. The Noble Lord then instatwei same remedies which the Committee might take into consideration ; one of which was the mode existing in Scotland, which enabled two Justices of the Pe ace to reco►er by a summary process all debts under the amount of 51. lie concluded by moving that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the present mod• of collecting debts, under the amount of 151., in England and Wales. and to report thereon to the House. Mr. WA RRE seconded the motion, and expressed his entire concurrence in the objects of it. He was sure the Committee would see that a great evil existed %bids ought to be removed, Mr. LITTLETON objected to the Scotch mode bring adopted, as, in general, the Macistrates were nut disposed to act, except in the must populous districts. Lord AL I'HORP explained; and the motion was then agreed to. - • ----- - CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Sir JOHN NEWPORT wished to take this opportu nity of saying a few words upon a subject of very great importance, and oue in which he felt en anxious interest. Yesterday, on coming to town, he heard that the Catholic question was to be brought on by his flight Hon. Friend, Mr. Plunkett, in the. course of the present week. He found, however, with regret, that the state of Ireland was but little understood by many of the Members of that House ; and it required that they should be much better actri•in•etl with it than they were at present, before they proceeded to discuss a question so momentous in its cosi sequenzes. Under time circumstances, lie was disposed to fsiego the desire he felt of seeing it brougist forward as soon as possible; and he must therefore request his Hight Honourable Friend to postpone his motion Gil after the recess. He did so in the full conviction that the • qne4rion ought not to be discussed till Ws state of Ireland w..s fully and clearly understood. Mr. CANNING saiJ that, if the present priipsi , lon had not been countenanced by so triad a friend to the Catholic question as We Right Honourable lia.oAt, lie should himself have risen to submit it. He was me thst the temper of the house and of the country was out such as to give the question a fair bearing. IC it mis now brought forward. It would be mixed tip with to des which, be trusted, were only of a temporary and swami , tory nature, He therefore most willinfly joined in the • t144.ai0r;' , .... • rrquest of the Right Hon. BaroOet to have the discuss:on stp oned. Sir JOHN STEWART made a few obsrrvations, but it so low a nice as to be q"it- inaudible in the g..lloey. Ne underst-oil h' to any Cost many of the Moot for people in Ireland lilt sore at the law proceedings which hail recently sake', place there. The Honourahle Ba ronet wait then oroceeeing i , ,to so tie genets! detail epos the salukis. when he was rhPe,l to order by li-IsetilirEA KEN, wLo told him he was going into mat ter that (amid pot he enterti:iiieil unless he meant to con clude with a motion. Sir JOHN STEWART then sat dosn expressing his intention, as It was understood, to bring forward a rti.). don on a fixture day resi:ecting the state. of Ireland. Mr. PLI/Nlifi IT said that after what had fallen from the Right lion. Gentleman in the Chair, it would ill become him to go into extraneous matter on the pre sent subject. The motion respecting the state of Ire land was in good hands, and when it was brought fur ward he shouted be prepared to give the fullest explana tion possible upon all points relating to the corduct of his Majesty's listrernment there. In one respect the re- quest made by his Right lion. Friend placed him in embarrassing situation, fur he had to apologize to lion. members 'alio had attended in cons•iienee of the no tice he had given. He assured the horse that it was not from any consideration of couvenience shatter acquiesced in the request. His own feelings entirely coinebteil with the sentiments expressed by both his Right hon. Friends, and he was quite sere that under the unfortu nate circumstances in which Ireland was placed at pre sent, it would be impossible that the question could be calmly and dispassionately discussed. Ile was also sure it would be the wish of every Member, whether for or against the motion, that it should roceive a full and fair discussion. The Right lion. member then said that lie would bring on his motion on the sisenteenth of April. The motion was then accordingly fixed for that day. Sir EDWARD KNATCHIWLI, suit that an order hail hers made for a call of the Iloesa, on Thursday next, the day originally lllrti foe tt,e motion of the Right lion.Oentleman. In consequence of the postpone ment of the motion, it would be necessary to discharge that order, and fix it for the day on which the Right liorta..:rable gentleman intendeefor to make his mo tion. The order for a call of the House on Thursday next, being then read by the Clerk, was discharged, and an Oilier of •a similar nature was made for the 17th of April. PARLIAZIENTART BOROUGUB.

Mr. GOULBUIIN gave no ice fur a motion. oh tit.- 6th ofitpril, on the sult!eet of a commutation of Tithes in Ireland. IRISH &HUTU. Mr. OOULDURN then said that the question which he rose to submit to the hops:), was fur a reduction of the staff of the Irish militia. It fornied pat t of the ar ante ment that was cont. inplitied by the Government of that with a view to a re•luctwa in the national expen diture. That arrangement included the unemployed staff of the Irish militia, and a reduction of them appeared ad visable, because it could be effected without injury or without injustice to any party, and with considerable re trenchtnent in the public expenses of that country. The object of his minion was to obtain leave to bring in a Bill for that purpose. The House was aware that, by the oii ginal Acts of Parliament for raising the militia, a consi derable difference exived in the constitution of the ittil:tia corps in Englan I an.l Ireland. The Right Hon. Gentle man then exelained those differences, and aided, that in the year lbli it was in the c..nteennlation of the Ir sh Go vernment to propose a reduction of the staff of ihe militia of that country. That reduction was to be effected not by removing ant•• of those persons then on the staff, but by preventing the commanding officer. of the various regi ments f.om filling up the va.ancies that might happen by death or other causes, by any Lew api.o . ntmen... The lilil which he meant to submit to the house would effect a gradual reduction by discharging at once all the super numeraries, and by preventing new vacancies. He begged to guard himself against being understood to impute any blame to those mentbors of the Irish Government wit.), in Ibl7, forbore to carry the proposed reduction into ethct. They might, perhaps, have been unwilling to imerf-re .with the eutolutuen's and comforts of individuals, and he was ready to make allowances for the feelings by which they were actuated. The Right lion. Gentleman conclud ed by moving for leave to bring in a BM fur the more speedy reduction of the officers, serlimitm, corporals, and drummers on the amti of the mill; of Ireland, nut on actital dot?. Colonel SKEFFINGTON was understood to say that be would give every opposition to the Bill when it should be brought before the house. lie wished to move for the production of certain papers connected with the subject, and thought the Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. (.oulburn) ought not to proceed with the Bill until those documents were laid on the table. Mr. FIUME said be was anxious to know to what extent the contemplated reduction was to go. lie thought a similar reduction ought to be made in the Staff of the Militia of England. He was quite satisfied a reduction' could be snide in both in the year Ibl9, when he hail the boner of submitting a motion to that effect, as well as at present. lie was, however, glad to see his Majesty's Ministers proposing a reduction iu the expenditure of the public money. Ile ruse fur the purpose of learning what was the extent of the coutemplated redut Lion ; and also whether it was intended to effect a corresponding reduction in the Militia Staif of England, which could well hear it. Mr. HOU LBURN was perfectly ready to defer the se cond reading of his bill unit the patters called fitr by Cutonel sketfington were upon the table of the house. In limner to the quest on trout the Hutt. Mead). r oppo site (Mr. litroe), he he,igeol to sav that the saving would be about . 30,A M. The estimate of the last year had been 1310,P00/. Colonel lIMIWELL declared that the redartio t pro posed road not be I arried into execution without a direct streaeh of Itith ; and stated that it would plunge a large body of men ' with n iv. s anti fatuities, into a co-di:ion I of deep an I undeserved distress. ai r . PEEL said, he should not have ma le any observa tions in the present stage of the measure, had tt nut I e n for that had filen fro.n the Honourable Member, who contended that toe prophs-d reductio . cmild not he car ried in . ° effect, wit heat a breach of faith to the parties who wuald be affected by it. This was a serious impat..- lion, sad ought sot to be la sde arm slight grounds. The Honourable Member, however, bad perms tel him self to snake it. sad he (Sir. P.) could nut bear the charge With's% illiffiltdy rising in his place to rlpel it. If a 4 '--- • BANK BALANCES: Mr. MU:MU in moving for a Return of the Bub ances of the Public Money in the hands of the Bank of England, observed, that in the year 1815, when he first brought this subject under the consideration of the house, the amount of the deposits lodged with the Bank amount ed to no less a stun than 11 or 12,000,000/. 'the loss in the put lie front this source was estimated by the t7ominit tee on the public expenditure in the year 1807, at five or 1001001. per annum. The services performed by the Bank were merely those discharged in an or,linary imp •ransanction.. The anwant of the deposiS had been reduced to about 4,000,4100 t, but there was still no Mecca sity for leaving so large a run as this wholly miprodtte- Live in the hands of the Bank. Nothing, in fact, would he more easy ihan to make such an arrangement as would give the public a partiripa ion in the profits arising from these balances; and if the present Chancellor of the Exchequer would grant to him, what be could never ob tain from the last, a Committee to examine in'o this sub ject, he (Mr. 6.) pledged himself not only to prove the Insignificant nature of the s-rvices ptrfonned by the Bank at such an immense profit, but to suggest a elan to the house, which would give the public a fair participation in that profit. '1 be whole services which the Batik pet formed to the public were the transfers and the payments of the d,vitletuis. Ile found no fault with the mode in which this was inansged; nay, he would Allow that there All he tin brier m •nagement ; hut still, gool as was the management, it was overpaid. The payment of 270 000/. a-year, o labia the Bank received for the perform ance of their recede.", was surele.too mach; and he ha no hesitation in saying that it mieit be done for 70,000! and thus a sariaz of .100,0t101. a-year to the public be e(- fected. He had no wish to provoke discuesiou in the to an time; but he had some hopes from the new Chau eellor of the Exchequer, to whose attention he woalil earnestly recommend the subject. The Honourable lieutleinan con.da ,eel ley moving fvr a Return of thit several Habitues of the Public Money id the hands of Bank. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did r o t rise to oppose the inwi in of the Hon. Gentleman ; bad, indeed no objection to it, only be hoped the lion. Gentleman would not, by his declining to offer any re marks on the question, consider him pledged to any par ticular form or view of it. He was thankful to the Hon. Gentleman fir his commendation; and would assure lint, that when the proper time came, he would pay every attention to the subject. Mr. BARING thought, that whatever objection ha I been mole to the arrangements between the public add the Bank, had been made without due i °pity into the nature of the arrangement between them. With regard to the balances in the hands of the Bank. it had beea stated, that they had formerly exceeded 12 millions, the:, they were now reduced to three millions, and it was pro posed to reduce them still lower. This, be conceived, stunld be contrary to the conditions stipulated and granted to the Batik by the Government at the time of The more al of its h otter. At that time it was allowed that, io conseeptence of the large portion of its funds, 'which the Bank had given to the public, it should always be allowed to hold a balance of tier or five millions.— This the Hon. Gentleman well knew, and yet he ra-ne year after year with the same complaint against tae, Bank. The Bank had lent to the public a large sum At a very low rat- of interest. Ile would admit that whet the charter of the Bank came again to be renewed. it might be proper to consider what balance should allowed in the hands of the Bank ; but, pending the p-e -tent contra t, he contended that my interference al . :I the existiug arrangement would be unfair. Mt. MANNING rose to make some ohs Trations o the lecture which had been read to the Bank by the 110.1. Gentleman (Mr. Greaten.) There was, lie asid, en an nual acconnt of all the balanc- s in the hands of Balk laid before' the Huuse; and he contended that there was not a shadow of ground for the complaiat which haebeen made, as the Bank bad always male a compensation to the public. ItICAItUt) admitted that the Bank bad al mays made sense compensation to the public, lint that c.) pegisation was not adequate. Ile was glad that t)ie Right lion. gentleman (the Chancellor of the Ese',l - had taken kindly the hint given by his hon. Friend. He (Mr. Ricardo) would take the liberty of giving another hint, which he hoped the Right hon. gentleman would also take kindly: It seemed that, in the agreement between the public and the Bank, at the time of the last renewal of the 'charter, the Bark hat driven a hard bargain for the public; he would, there fare, advise the Right hon. Gentleman, if he should have the same business to attend to, to beware that the Bank- did not circumvent him. For this pittpose he would advise the Right hon. Gentleman, before be came to terms t inge the bank, to take the advice of the House. He would pledge himself, that if the service which the Bank did to the public were to be let by public auction. it could he got done fur far less money. If the charter allowed them all that they were in the habit of receiv ing, then that but showed the more n ' y there was for the interfereuce of the /losses as the large profits which the Bank received sheweal how much the present charter was in its favor. The motion having been read from the Chair, Mr..IihENFELL rose to explain. It was natural fur the llononiable fiend man opposite, (Mr. Manning) to a 'worst. the rause of tree Bank, being a Director of that Establishment; and it ass - natural foe his Honour s...le saint him (Nit.. Baring) to have a love for that Institution, havii.g been in the di•ection during the time that the Bank was profiting so notch by the large balances which it ha iin band. The Honourable lien tietnao went hack t • the Cl•arier; and from this con tended that the gars:ion of ba'aucTs was closed ; but ~,~.,, & r gr lI:•
