the subject, he did not intend to Rive a direct nega tive to the Bill, because, as he had already said, he thought the question might he advantageously brought Into discussion in another Session, with a view to make such arrangements as were called for by the lapse of time and the alteration of circumstances ; but seeing no necessity, for this measure, and no necessity taring been stated, he should now move the previous question. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that there ap• poured In him to be some inconsistency in the mode of reasoning purseed by the Noble Lord (Grey) in the coarse of his speech. He argued that there was no ground at present for further Legislation, but contended, that it would be advisable at some further period for Parliament to go into a full investigation of the Acts connected with this subject, for the pur pose of introducing such a change as circumstances sleight have rendered necessary. The question at present was, if the propositions contained in the Bill 'were fit to be entertained ? Whether it would be wise to proceed further was quite another subject, •a which there might be a difference of opinion. It „bad no connection with the present Bill, which rest. el entirely upon the ground of expediency. The Noble Lord (Grey) expressed no objection to the principle of the first clause of the Bill, that was to an Increase in the number of the Queen's Council. His . only objection was to the mode in which the power a nomination was to be exercised. Looking to the present circumstances of the Council, no person imeid entertain any doubt of the necessity of making oem. oddities to it. Two of the Members were at present entirely precluded from attendance, and two =ore, from the importance and extent of their pith lie duties, could attend bat seldom. This, as stated .by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Eldon), was selicient motive for the measure, so far as regarded .the particular point under consideration. It was 4tree that eight was the number named in the original /Act to constitute the Council. They were nominated by Parliament, but it contained a provision at the :same lime, enabling her Majesty to fill up any va. .oattev which might occur. This power was exec. used by her Majesty in one instance, in consequence of she death of a• highly respectable individual. If Io the amuse of nature, the majority, or even the ,wholtsd the Council should die, the %hole, as well as apart, would be in the nomination of her Majes ty. At the.seswe time he had no difficulty in saying, .that.he felt no objection to modify this part of the Bill, in ouch a manner as might appear most advise. .ble to.- Parliament.. In this his Honourable and JAartied Friend (Lord Eldon) also concurred. He would mow come to the other point, Resent which% en objection had been made. The Nnihist Lord. (Grey) espresaed his surprise that such 'a clause as the second should he introduced into .the Bill, without any necessity for it being stated In the preamble, or proved in argument 'by his .Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Eldon. He said he would not believe that the provision in the Re. gently Act crept in unadvisedly, or was not founded upon good and sufficient reasons. At the time of the •aegeitcy Act there was no adequate necessity for the introduction of such a clause as was found in the .present Bill. The Regency question was not the one under discussion now. At the time of its intro doetion it was the subject of much discussion, and sue a clause as that now proposed was omitted, be cause it was considered that the agitation of it would • produce more inconvenience than eventual advantage. In the event of the demise of the Crown, the imme diate meeting of Parliament was not so necessary, there being a successor immediately to undertake the functions of the Crown, and one who succeeded of •right He would now come to the immediate ques tion of the custody of his Majesty. For this put. pose, what occasion would there be for an immedi ate meeting of the old Parliament, if a provision was now agreed to, that tie Council should have full powers until such time as the new one met? Whe ther it would be wise to limit the duration of those .powers:to a filled period was another question, which Sleight be discussed at a future stage of the Bill. One i swede of proceeding might give rise to the greatest in conveniences. which would he avoided by the other. It was asked, why a clause of this kind was not in. trodoced before, in former Acts? The same objec tion could be made against many legislative measures. The Noble Lord contended, that there Was 110 im mediate necessity for it. Perhaps there was not, but the Noble Lord himself admitted that it might arise in the course of twelve months. What difference could there be between causing this Bill now and in .the coarse of another Session ? The Noble Lord (Grey) seemed to think, that there was no great de licacy *hewn towards her Majesty in proposing the subject at present. He was as little inclined as any Noble Lord, or any person in the country, to do any thing which could at all tend to move the feel ings of that Great Personage, and he had the satis faction to inform the House, that he had not, and would not, have brought forward each a question, •withoot knowing that it was not only not contrary to her feelings, but quite incooformity with them. She 'bad no objection to concur in any thing that Parlia ment might judge most advisable open the subject.— ( Hear, hear!)--If it should he deemed necessary to discuss matters connected with the custody of his Majesty more at length. Parliament would have an opportunity of doing so at an early period of the vest Session. He was not tenacious of one part of the Bill which had been objected to, bet he hoped the House would see the great incesveoieuces which might be obviated by agreeing to the other. The Earl of CARNARVON could not see that any ground was made out for thegreat constitutional change which was attempted to be made. They were called upon in order to meet one possible contingency, to withdraw all concern for his Majesty's welfare, by deferring from one Session to another the arrange ments that might be necessary. It was the impera. tivardety of Parliament on the first moment that such an cress should take place, as was in the contempla tion of •the present Bill, and the Regency Big , itself, to meet for the purpose of providing for the emer gency. If the state of her Majesty's health required that she should be absent for a time from Windsor, he was far from making any objection to grant such additional assistance as would in that case be proper; bat when a.questioe of a constitutional 'Wore was involved, hR could sot agree to intrust .such discre tion to the Council. It was his wish that the present hilt should be divided into two Bills, the first to be THE Sv,r4 passed immediately, as it would go to cot Majesty's satisfaction and peace of mind second, as it must Pantemillate the Onsit, Crown or the Regency, would nature* topics of greater difficulty, sod tectaiiing Mo On the demise of the Regency, they wnuM tik to consider the principle upon which than &Mir be !Censtitited. Dir'referriog 1'6'04 Regency Act, they would: . find that by it t" Assent was given to Bills withoot the Royal Will ; and those who defended it before, might prohahly,.' on re-consideration, hesitate to recognise it agili when they contemplated all its consequences. 'l,ll The Earl of LAUDERDALE agreed that a clan was established to call upWn them to assist her Ms: jesty in the discharge of her functions, and as there was a disposition to agree to the suggestion thrdwn out of leaving the nomination of the additional Coun cillors to Parliament, he saw no objection to the Bill upon that ground. If, however, the patronage was to be vested in the Queen, he should feel himself under the necessity of objecting to it. He woold agree, that in point of delicacy, there should be as little discussion upon this subject as possible; and, therefore, if the previous question was adopted, and a Bill afterwards brought in, free from the dis advantages of the present, he' thought there could be little difficulty in carrying it through the House. The LORD CHANCELLOR. admitted that he had overlooked the notnination of her Majesty's 'Council, as regulated by the original Bill, bat he could not agree to alter it so far as to strike out every 'word bf the Bill from the beginning to the end. It ' would be found on examination, that the posers of the Council by the present Bill were not greater than those which were conferred by the gist of the Kiog. He bad no objection to alter one or two of the clauses, so as to remove the objections that had been made to them, bat he could not go to the extent recommend ed by some Noble Lords, which would defeat the Bill altogether. The Marquis of BUCKINGHAM agreed to the Bill on the same principle upon which the Regency Bill had been voted ; that principle was, that it was called for by (le emergency of the case, and would go no further t h an such emergency required. The previous question was then negatived, and the Bill was read a second time without a division. It was afterwards arranged that it should be committed oa Monday. The Earl of CARNARVON moved, that the Committee shoold be instructed to divide the Bill into twe.—The motion was negatived. RttiK RESTRICTION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed. in muting the second residing of the Bahl( Restriction Bill, that as he understood it was the wish of s , me Noble Lord, to cscos. the pt inciple the ituesioin for going into Committee. he snoutit reserve what lie had to say fur that occusioa, and should name Tuesday, if the Rouse bad no objection. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he had no wish to enter into the subject et present. but he could not ,eonsem i f , the *- coati fretting without asking the Noble Earl for what reason the measure was brought forward at all? What ware the un fore.een eircuuntant es on which he rested its necessity Toe Earl of LIVERPOOL stated. that to answer she Noble Lord's question fully, would lead him into the whole subject of debate. This he should decline fur the reason he hail already assigoed; but he had no objection to inform the Noble Lord, that the principal circumstance on which he defended the ne cessity of the measure, was, as he had suited upon two former wren ions. the great of loans to foreign countries, and particu. lady to Frame. Lord HOI.L4ND celled tie ettenticu of the fl•suse to the preamble of tie Bill. He remarked. that if the syllable/ore an. withdrawn from the word unforeseen, it would afford a inure correct description of the measure. The we amble ret ited, that. Whereas it was desirable, that as soon ~5 possible the Baste should resume cash payments: and, warrens the Parlia meat had passed an Act to that effect ; and then came the ex traordivary conclusion from these premises —that. therefore, rash payments ought nut to be resuined.—[ A i sigh.) —Out of three reasons scat d in the preamble, two went to prove that the Bill was aaaa ler essar).

Mr. C A LCR A IFT moved for a Committee of the whole House, un the Act Si Geo. ill. cap. 4. regulating the Duty on Rock Salt, with a vies to obtain leave to bring in u Bill to re duce the Duty on Rock Salt used for Agricultural purposes. In uses tng this, he wished it to be understood that the Salt Com. mime bad turned their attention to several other important ob.- ",jects coms.cied with the subject of their enquiry; and it was not because they had lost sight of oho-e other objects, but he mimic there was no prospect of their being able to carry them this Session, that they now confined themselves to this Bill. It was their opinion, in particular, that, many beneficial regula- Hoes respecting Salt used in the Fisheries, might be made. In the Bill which he should submit to th e Co mmittee of the house, the Duty on Rock Salt used for Agricultural purposes he should propose to be 51. per ton, which would snake it acres sible to every Agriculturist who might be willing to try (bees. periment. After some observations from Mr. Watt.scx and Mr. Cua war in support of the motion, the House went iwo a Commit tee on the Act in question, is which the Resolution proposed by the Holt.

Many persons of this description had shared considerable sums, whereas the Officers of the Medical Staff, who had had the most painful duties to discharge for months and months, by this 'regulation, which was perfectly new, had been totally deprived l of all share in the prize-money. Lord PALM ERSTON said that the Medical OM. sere of the part of the army alleged were entitled to their shares according to their rank. It was , ' there. J fore, a mistake to suppose there was any general Iprevention of remuneration. the orde r was con fi ned to those engaged on the 15th. 16th 17th, and 18th of June, and to those who joined the army previous to its entry into Paris. Those who were only at Brussels were not thereby comprehended. By refer ring to the orders relating to the war in the Peninsu la, it would he seen that the same system was'follow ed. The payments there were confined to particular parts of the army : the first related to those who moved from Coimbra to the Douro; the second to the march on breaking up from Portage' ; the third to the forces at Ciudad Rodrigo, and so on. It ap. peered to confine the system to the troops actually engaged on particular services. Many sick and wounded were brought to this country from the Pe ninsula, and if the role alluded to was not applied strictly, it might be estended to.the Medical attend. ants at home.
