The Lords' Amendments to tlie Bills of Exchange Bill were read and agreed to. THE JOURNALS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. I 1 ME wished to inquire Leiner some ex pense to the country might out be obviated by abolish in;r the practice of having the proreedirgs of the House made out in manuscript by the Cirri,. Those proceedings being now printed. be could see no neces sity fur having them written also. He understood that an allowance used to be made to the Clerk for the performance of this duty from the Funds for defraying the expenses of Parliamt nt, whereas it is now charged independent of the sums allotted for that purpose. The SPEAKER explained the netes..ity for having the Journals carefully written. With reference to the expense, be observed. that there was no increase of f barge upon the public by the new regulations which had taken place. By the Act of Parliament, the Funds out of which Mr. Ilatsell, the late Clerk, was paid, were added to the Consolidated Fund ; am!, if the re malting, Funds for defraying the expen:.es incurred by the business of the. House were found inadequate. the 4 f , h,.iency must be made np from ihe Consolidates! Fp.r.d. Some years ago pllts, JoUrnisls of the House err generally a year behilstil; but by the recent me• thcd of printing them, they were kept up very close viton the proceedings. Yet from the hurry necessary to be resorted to for printing them at this tate, he must eaut.ou Members against taking them for authentic re cords. Hence arose the necessity of having other do t uments kept with the greatest attention and care. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served. as we understood him, that the explanation had come from the Chair must be perfectly sa tisfactory to the House.—(Hear.) Mr. HOBEIOrSE presented a Petition from certain iii:itabitati:s of the City of Westminster, in favour of ti.e Bill fur preventing the ill-treatment of Animals —Ordered to be printe.l. BEER AND ALE. Lord A. HAMILTON moved for leave to bring in a }till to repeal the Clauses of the first and second of ileorge 1., requiring that Brewers should give certifi cates of the quantity and quality of beer sold by theni, and to whom sold. He contended that the prin. cip:e was unjust. and that partial enfortements of the Act had tikea place. It was evidently impracticable as a get.t94l measure, and iudividuals were liable to infortimtions and the consegitent penalties from ally in..ficious or evil-disposed persous. 'I lie Act had been renewed this Session, and, although it WAS now Lute to propose a repeal of any measure, yet, as the ob jectionable Clause coutaitted a provision that it might be altered or rejected during the Session, he did not see any reason why the repeal should not take place. Ile, therefore, moved for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of an Act passed this Session to regulate the collection of the Excise !Putties, as related to the quantities of Beer and Ale sold by Brewers. Mr. MAXWELL supported the motion. He had received complaints from many patty of the country of the operation of this Clause and its general immoral tendency. He certainly hoped the Right Hon. the Cl.aneellor of the Exchequer would consent to repeal the clause. He load no doubt that he introduced it with a view to the improvement of the revenue ; hut when it was found that its operation was vexatious, without attaining the end for which it was enacted, it ought not in justice to be continued in force. Mr. BRIGHT had also received various applications with complaints of the provisions of this Clause. Mr. IILNE spoke in support of the motion. 'f CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said. tliat if lie could be convinced that the operation of the Act was vexatious, and did not tend to secure the bet tzr collection of the revenue, he should be most ready to repeal it. But he was convinced that ally one who examined into the real provisions and construction of the clause alluded to, would easily ascertain that it attended with no such consequences. He conld cot therefore agree to the motion of the Noble Lord. Many brewers who bad at first complained of it, had been cornpletely satisfied that it could be productive of ill) inconvenience whatever, upon proper explanation beittr, made to them. Mr. ABERCROMBIE said that the real construc tion of the clause must be that put upon it by the Judges in the Courts of Law, and not that which the Chareellor of the Excheopter gave to it under the pres sure of the Petitions which had been presented to the ilouse. No Judge could exempt an individual from the penalty, unless he could prove that all the provi sion.: of the Ac! had been strictly complied with. It appeared from the Petitions, that all the brewers in Scotland would be ruined if the Act was enforced. A. HAMILTON said, that the only difference now appeared to be as to the construction to he put upon the Art. lie should therefore not press his mo tion, bat the Right lion. Gentleman must be answer able for the evils which might arise from the operation of the clause. Mr. ABERCROMBIE inquired what construction of the clause would be acted upon by the officers of Excise in Scotland? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQLTER inti mated that orders had bceu issued to act upon the milder construction. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. HOBHOUSF. rose to explain the reason of his not having brought fun ward his promised motion rela tive to the power of Judges, it was, that he did not see any disposition upon the Bench to renew the con duct which he conceived to be unjustifiable. If it should ever be repeated, he should lay a direct charge upon the table of that House. !iii J. AIACKIN'IOSH presented a Petition from certain inhabitants of the city of Westminster, in fa vour of the Bill for preventing cruelty to Horses and other Brute Aninials.—Laid on the table. Mr. 0. BENNET presented a similar Petition from l' abridge.—!aid on the table. Mr: K. MARTIN remarked upon the general anxie tyexpressed by the country upon this subject , a nd hoped that it would be duly considered in deciding upon the Bill in progress through the House. Mr. F. BUXTON moved that certain papers laid before the House yesterday relative to the immolation of Hirdoo Women should be printed. Mr. WYNNE suggested, that as the papers were large, the parts only which were material should be printed. on account of the expense. Mr. F. BUXTON consented to adopt the suggestion of his Hon. Friend, although he thought a very few of the papers would be found Immaterial. 7.# ti J I s I a . . ;r ! 1 I. 1 . . . 1 1 .1 : 1 i i. , 1 ...1 . ! 4 , L i .. . :. 4<, 1..' ' .

The CHANt 'ET.LOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the reading of ti.e Order ..1 ti,c in.y far receiving the Report of the T o tra,To Duties Rif., fer the purpose of being ler:limier! •0 high time Menrher• would he at nit!' the reiterations that had been made. Mi. HORITOT'SE thought that as the Bill now stood, there w , eld not be much objection to it. There were some nr*nor which he hoped would he w adjusted, as to prevent Gra neecasity of a debate on Monday. Lord G. CAVENDISH prer.;•nted a petition from the Retail Trade's of Asliturialiani, complaiisioz of persons exposirg arreles, t.ot cf their own manufac ture, fur sale upon open stalls in that town.--Lairl on' the table. The Exelirqi:er Bills upon Public Works Bill. was read a second tinie, and ordered to be committed to 11101701V. The Stock Cancelling Bill was reported. and order ed to be read a third time to-morrow. The Silk Bounties Bill went through the same stage. To be read a third titue to-morrow. The Irish Collectors of Customs Bill was read a third time awl passed. The East India Private Trade Bill was read a third time and passed. The Lie of Man Trade Bill was reported, and or dered to be read a third time to-morrow. The Order of the Day for the second rearli,q, of the Resolution of the Committee of Supply was then read. Some Resolutions were agreed to without a discus sion. Upon the 'rations for (ranting 8,400'. for sala ries to the Commit,..i.iners and Clerks of tire Insolvent Debtors' Courts, 'Mr. G. BENNET considered the %Aeries of the Judges were nia. h too liar4e, and ought to be reduced. Mr. BERNAL differed with hi.; lion. Friend, and thought that ti.e dignity of Judges ought to be fully supportell. Mr. lit, - ME oi.j•cted to the Judges in question hold ing other situations from which they derived emolu ments. Mr. CiIEBVEt said the Puisne Judges received considerably l e ss erooloiments than thl Judges in ques tion, for whirl' he could see no reason. Mr. MONCE said there was no comparison between the duties to hr periutined by these Judges. The iVelch Judges were only employed twice a year, where as the Commissioners of the lurolvent Debtors' Court were obliged to give up the whole of their time to their duty. He thought the worst of economy would he that which reduced the saint ies of Judges so low as not to render them worth the acceptance of men of taleut and integrity.—(Hear.) A Mennen observed, that the general salaries of the Police of the Metropolis were upan too low a scale. Mt. CALCRAFT thought the salaries of the. Coin. inissioneir. not too great. He bad been one who re commended that the present sums should he allowed, and lie was still of opinion that they were trot more that. a just termitic ration for the duties perfurtued. After a fete vinrds from Mr. Anceraostnir, Mr. J. BENET , and the All orNLIArl.Nen...l., which ware inaudible, the Resolution was agreed to. A Message from the Leeds al:bounced their Lord ships' assent to several Hills. 'IC he next Resolution was for a grant of 5,()001. fur defraying the e tpense of the Alien Offi..es in Ireland. Sir R. WILSO'N opposed this grant- The Ho nourable Member conderoued the priuciple of the Alien Bill, and expre.sed his opinion of its unconstitutional tendency. Mr. lIOIIIIOUSE concurred in what had fallen from his Ilunourable and Gallant Friend. The Noble Marquess could scarcely form an idea of the effect of this Bill upon the minds of Foreigners. The lion. Member here related an anecdote which came within his own knowledge at Milan. An English Gentleman being at the 'I beano., was incommoded by the hich cap of a military officer who sat before him. Af er some remonstrative the Englishman removed the rap ; and fur this Ire was put in confinement. lie (Mr. fl.) interfered for lids coatervinan, an-I was told there could be no peculiar hardship in the case, for that Lord Castlereagh hail a power by the Alien Bill to serve any Foreigner in England in the same manner. Ile mentioned this just to shrew the impression which the Bill bad made abroad. lie trusted the House would this night put their Veto upon a measure too bad to he characterised by any langenge. Mr. H. CLIVE defended the Bill, and denied that it had been attended with any oppressive effects upon Sir R. WILSON explained. Mr. BERNAL spoke against the Bill, as throwing impediments in the way of an extension of our com merce. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said, that although lie knew the general aversion of the Gallant Geueral to the Alien Bill, he scarcely thotteht him re rious in his intention of taking the sense of the Horse upon the present question, which was a mere vale for the payment of ..caries. The po;iey of the lair did not come reettla-ly before the House tinder the pre sent vote. If, however, any sleek ease should be pointed on! in which any individual had been molested in this coonfry fur his condect abroad, he (Lord Lon donderry) v ew:tl join in abhor-rimy the measure. It was used eqs!y a , .:•iinst those who wished to make Eng land the theatre of their conspiracy. Sir JAMES .MACKINTOSII said, his abhorrence of the Bill was so great, that lie should avail himself of every opportnnity to oppose it. As be had no other weans left, be worthd endeavour to starve the monster to death, by withholding the supplies which supported it. Mr. BENNET said the opposition to the vote was perfectly constitntional, as it Wa,alwaye the practice to refuse the supplies fur a measure which was not approv ed of. He knew an instance of a Neapolitan Gentle-I man who had been arrested at Naplee and impri soned, after leaving returned to the city in conse quence of th: , persuasions of the English anti French Ambassadors. He trusted this matter would be in quired into. The Jlargness of LONDONDERRY. after obeerr iog that the King of Naples was generally beloved by his subjects, stated be had not the slightest know ledge of tier cirennistance alluded to by the Honourable Member. Lord IlitTOK said be believed the private charac ter of the Kieft of Naples to he highly exemplary i but of his government he should say nothing He believed a worse government did not exit.—(A laugh.) Mr. C. HUTCHINSON thou ! lit the English princi ple of holding Ministers responsible for the misconduct of Government ought to lie adopted in all monarchical governments. Ihe Hon. Member condemned the con duct of the Allied Sovereigns towards the King of Na- Naples; and referring to the question before the Hbuse, approved of the motion of the Gallant General for opposing the pa ogress of this obniinious Bill. The House then divided upon Sir R. Wilson's Amendment, when there appeared— For the Amendment, 27 ;—Against it, 41;—Ma jority, 17. The Resolution was then agreed to. The remaining Resolutions were agreed to without any observation. Sir R. WILSON prevented a Petition in favour of the Wil for punishing Cruelty to Auintals.—Ordered to be printed. ALLOWANCE TO THE DUKE OF CLARENCE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXIAIEQI'ER moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Bill for making a provision for the Dube of Clarence. Mr. CREEVEY said be had many objection.: as well to the principle of the Bill as to the mangier in which it was hiouglit forward. First, he thought it was brought forward too late in the Session ; he thought too, with greet submission to the Chair, that it ought to have been. preceded by a Message from the Crone ; and his next objection was, that it shewid an appearance of favouritism for one branch of the Royal Family to the neglect of another. I lie presentitneen had voluntarily given up fifteen thousand pounds a-vear. It was true also that the Duke of Clarence had given up 6000/. a-year in ISI 4 ; but the difference was, that the Queen Rave up bee's because she thought it too much, and the Duke gave up his because he thought it too little. It teas hard that the people should be called upon to make this provision in the same Session in which they had been loaded with the expetices of the trial of the Queen, .a trial in itself so iniquitous, and so contrary to the opim.io:.s of those same peopie.—lle was justified in 'calling upon the House to refuse t h is grant, iu conse- Iquence of the ferocious conduct of the Noble Claimant on this disgraceful trial. The Marquess of lA)NDONDERRY rose to order. He submitted that observations of such a nature were highly disorderly. The SPEAKER said lie thought there should be some measure observed in remarking upon the conduct of Members of the other House. Mr. CREEVEY said he spoke only of the public con duct of the Duke of Clarence, who was uuw a suitor to that House. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inter posed, and said it was out of order to comment upon the individual public condact of any Member of the other House. Mr. CREEVEY said be had no wish to go out of the way to offend any Member of the Royal Fainily.—!tut Le lead himself witneacoi the trial in question ; and had heard the Duke give his judgment of Guilty by pro nouncing, rho word „ Content," anal in a tune which lie (Mr. C.) had never heard before in any civilized so ciety.—(There was here a general call of " Order.") The SPEAKER said lie believed 110 Member of the House was more anxious to defend the freedom of de bate than the lloirourable Member. Would not that lion. Member then, think this right infringed upon, if any person in any other place were to arraign his (Mr. (:. r s) conduct in that House ? Ile put it to the House, and to the Hon. Member himself, to apply this princi ple to the remarks for which the Hon. Member had been called to order. Mi. CREEVEY begged to apologize. lie had spoken under the influence of strong feelings, and he would therefore nut say another word upon that part of the subject. He conceived, however, that lie had a right to observe upon the expense of the approaching Corona tion. It had been called a solemn occasion—a compact between the King and his people; he (Mr. Creevey) be lieved it was not so regarded by the people, and he was borne out in this by the fact that there was no national sympathy on the subject. 'flie present situation of the Queen probably accounted for the apathy which was so generally observed. Upon the question of Law as to liar right to be crowned, he professed himself unable to give Jul opinion ; hut lie hail heard that she was not even to be present. lie trusted this was not the case ; he trusted that the Noble Marquess would not set the King and Yuma in open array against each other. — With respect to the present Dill, as his objection to it was upon principle, he certainly would be no party toil. Mr. ill. ItANKES said, he thought there was no limb ject less relevant to the present question than that of the Queen. The Duke of Clarence hail acted with per feet co nsistency in refusing the money in the lir-it 'fl atware, and in accepting it now. His refusal was caused by the belief that the Lady whom he was about to marry would object to live in England un .10 limited au income. She had, however, consented, and lie (Mr. IL) thought it was generons in the D;ike to reface the money, when he thought lie mast necessarily spend it in a foreign country. Urn, the ground of the annual stun he was gbd to observe, there was scarcely any difference of opinion ; and, on that of the arreari, he trusted there world be as little. Mr. HARBORD said, he wan n Mint% to vote for the 60001. a-sear, but not for the arrear^. The case of the I Queen had, he thought, been very properly introduced; for, if the claim of the Duke was to be allowed as to the arreara, the Queen would have a tight to demand 105,U001. for the arrears of that which she had for merly given up. In such a case lie did not see how the liononrable Gentlemen opposite could rote against the claim. He should himself himself vote against it, ac he should ac''inst the present, and in go doing he conceived he should be consistent. He thought personal consi deration.; very objectionable. He wished equally to avoid affiliation on the one hand, and insult on the other. When lie had an opportunity of doing so, be should support the annual sum, but should oppose the arrears. Sir I coFrix said a few words in support of the Bill. Mr. BENNET said, his opinion was decidedly against the whole grant. He should not enter into any q,nes tions of a personal nature, lint lie could not retrain trout observing, that the Coronation was ill suited to the po verty of the country. It n-as an old remark, that a country sick at heart should not put on a smiling face. He thought the expenditure of 1011,11410/. upon a mere pageantry teac much to be censured, especially as the people would not participate in the festivity. if the Treasury were full, he should see no great objection to it. but when mourning was too visible in all our streets, he protested againstthe unnecessary expenditure of so large a sum of public money. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY deprecated the drawing of so exaggerated a picture respecting the state of the country. The effect could not but hare a ten dency to turn the feelings of the people against a cere mony forming an important part of our ancient institu tions, and was brought forward to revive feelings whieli were nearly extinct. When the Hon. Members advo cated the cause of what they called universal liberty, but which he called universal confusion, they spoke with lofty grandeur of our resonrces, but when an ex. pens, was suggested fur a most constitutional purpose, Pf - , lip -v. tPin,:gell7=e:onetealtro.). their hearts actually overrate with He could asslre the House. th at 0.1 :he priarhing tr . rentony nothing had been wi:a ► V'Z'tV to ((Le rade, and that every part of solen.nit 7 had been ar. ranged with the utmost atti t o He w a • t oneineed the people of this crepitry nould not hate evinced that di.content spoken of relitive to a I ce occa.ion, had it not been ter the sum zestioh of the Hen.

He thought the Noble most unjust in taunting his Honourable Friends %t i l l, causing the agitation of the public mind with reipeet to the Queen ; and also with being advocates for squander. ing public money iu support of wars on the Continent.

Members ought to remember th a t the r e was a solemn oath to be taken by could only be taken on such an occasion. To degrade the ceremon y was to uodertnine the Constitution of the country. With regard to the expenses a great part of it was already iacurred. Independent of the expense which would fall on the nation to discharge, a great sum of money must be expended by those who were obligated to attend, which could not fail to be most grate. NI to the labouring classes, which, indeed, was already felt highly beneficial. The lion. Member opposite (Mr. Smith) onglit;to remember that the result of an in terference on our part in the affairs on the Continent on a late occasion, might have been to plunge us into war. It might have been otherwise, but that was the ahem five we should have hail, if our negoriations to pro cure peace bad failed. With regard to the Queen, it could not be doubted that the efforts of the Hoe. Gentleman opposite lied very much excited the irritation in the country complained of. lithe people were averse from such proper ceremonies of our Constitution, it were lit they %hold.' be familiarised to them. N1r..11013901;5E doubted very mueli the legality ef crowning the King without the Queen. The Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Bathurst . %) arguments in (ar ose of the Coronation appeared to him of a very curious Da titre. In the first place he wished to make out that die poor would be benefitted by the expenditure of moor first drawn out of their pockets. Then with regard to the oath, it (lid not follow that because a certain thing was enjoined in case of the occurrence of a certain event, that therefore that event was enjoined. With re spect to the Bill before the House, lie certainly should net rote for the grant of arrears. Ile thought that those who paid had a right to estimate the character of those to whom they paid, and grant in proportion. Lord M ILTON confessed lie felt altogether iedif ferent as to the ceremony of the Coronation of the Kier. lie knew that the history of England taught that it rag an august ceremony ; but lie did not think that it trisehe have ~mine obligation to the allegiance of the Ede ject, or one more to the Sovereign to observe the laws. The SrEAKER then left the Chair, Mr. Baocnes pre. sidin as Chairman of the Committee. On reading of the Grant of 6,0001. a year to the Date of Clarence, from the year ISIS, Mr. HUME moved scan Amendment, twat it:steels( ISIS, the Grant to continence from 1821.
