The Bill was read a second time; it went through a Con mittee; the 'tenon was received and agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. Mr. PRI 31110 SI: said, he hell in his hand a Petition, to which hr wished to cal: the attetehan of the Right Honourable the Chaneellor of the Exchequer. It was i trout the Maltsters, Brewers, and Distillers of the county of Stirling, folloplainiuir of the severe operwion of 'the increased Malt Duties imposed last Session, as they of Scotland. Those duties, from hieing threepence a hushel, were raised to one shilling. This was a lined ship which pressed very heavily upon Petit' !ere. The 7 couiplaiewd that they had no notice whatet er that *doh liven, ditties were to be imposed on Snitch malt, and thrrefore t!i-y had no opportunity of applying against such a measure.

RUSSELL moved the Order of the Day for the reading of the Bills for suspending the assn. ins or Vi rite for tiratupound, Penryn, Barnstaple, and Camelford. • Sir,C. BURRELL said. that in colemon, he believed, with the whole country, he ()tiered his praise to the Noble Mover of the Bill for his condnet in this btorinese. tie halt also-to address a few worth to the Noble Lord opposite (Lora Castlereagh). He thatikeet tiN NoMe Lied for his liberal conduct hitherto on this Bill, and he hoped that he would not drup the matter thus, but that he would endeavour to secure its final setereas by using his intluetwe with his friends in another platy-0)1.3er. and lwarl)—so that it Wight not fall to the ground atter it had that House.

He was convinced tiler wvishl nut; and as for the three others, they were absolutely nithuut evidence. the was in earnest. and wished to see the writs suspended till the circumstances which had ap peared to criminate these boimighs result, he inquired • and he therefore wished the theme to proceed in the only effectual manner, via. by Maims, whirls was in his opinion the true Parliamentary course.—(ilear !I from Mr. Wynn.)—lie heard an expreesion of surprise at leis assertion. because lie presumed it would ws serted that tide course would lay the privileees of the House at the merry of the King. Batt, according to the present moth. of proceeding, the Horse was at the mercy, not only of the Crown, but of the other House of Paella- ment. lie spoke after good Parliamentary authorities when he contended that the Leonia': anal suspending of writs should depend on the house alone, and noon ibis dextrine the House had hitherto acted, le . , ordering the Speaker to withhold that isseiug of the writs kelt , time to time. In comsettnence of the approaching dissolution a new rase was presented to them; and hero als., was another iestance of the inconveniences of the dissulutioe. If the House had been allowed to sit the usual time, there would hare been ample time to have passed the Bill into a law, nithout calling on the Miser Howse to eonsent without the examination of evidence. As for the proceeding hr Address. h e lied the authority of Mr. I latsell's work in support of it. Air. WYNN said, sneh as Address would go to the overthrow of the Constitation, ley putting thi• whole elective franchises of the kingdom into the bands of the Crown. The Address of the House of 17one:flues could not rotifer on the Crown a po.' er not before posses s ed,. but could only call on the Crown to exercise p, power al-' ready existing. It would therefore recognise, that the Crown mold, at its own will anal pleasure, put an end to the elective rights of any portion of the electors of the kingdom. This proposal was not, indeed, witlinsil precedent, for he had heard of a plan of Reform, promul gated under the high authority of the Ilamp.ten Club, by which the King WAS begged, as the simplest and best plan of Reform, to abstain from sending writs to certain boroughs, and to send writs to other platers. It wus ex traordinary, indeed, that this should have heen promul gated nailer (above all others) the name of H..nipeleu. Such a power was, insietol. formerly elainted by the Crown, but the matter was taken up by the House of Commons, and it was deviated that the writs might be demanded by those boroughs as writs of right. Writs were arconlingly gent to some places from which they had been withheld, and fm one of these places. Wendt; yer, he believed, John Hampden, was first returned to Parliament. lie (Mr. W.) was ready to go as far as any man in defence of the privileges of * Parliament, but hi thought they were moo safe when confined within legal bounds. lie should not be willing to disfranchise these boroneht without hearing the fullest evidence; but he conceived thr l!onse of Lords had sufficient evidence to say that the House of Commons, having proved bribery to existed in those boroughs, and being . desirous of taking measures to regulate the elections to home. ttter woultl suspend the issuing of writs for this time. To peewit:al by the antburity of the two Houses of Parlia ment and of the Crown, was the only legal course. and he should. therefore, support the Bill. Mr. MARRYATI' said, the Bill before the Ilouse're tinired serious consideration. The House had net all the evidence before them on the different cases. On the ease of Camelford the [lmmersible Member Per Colchester (Mr. D. Harvey) in particular had declared his inten tion of examining additional witnesses. Besides, there' were in the different eases various shades of criminality. Two of their own Member. also (Mr. Swann and Sir AI. Lopo7) had been severely visited, as well as several voters of two of the boroughs. Was it likely that these persons, after the warning they had had, would again . commit them-hue for which they had suffered? Intked, if hat were asked where he shan't' expert to find the greatest purity and independence in the el”rtions throughout the country, he should naturally lay his hand on those boroughs.—(Near and a laugh.)--there was such a difference also in the evidence before the Lords and that before the Commons, respecting the bo rough of Barnstaple, that the dithculty concerning that ease was much incre ased. Mr. 1111,0C1i11.131 said, that his doubts as to the ex pediency of passing the Bill before them were founded on leis sense of the great importance of the measure ul timately in view. The change now proposed was no less thin to extinguish the franchises of four boroughs, and to traosfer them to other unrepresented pl.tces. Thostith neither of these ohjects was tlirertlT affected by the 11111, it a mild distinctly recognise the principle, that thookli there vas not eviilesce to disfranchise the Ito -roughs for ever, yet on a prima facie ease thi.v suspend the franchises. It might be proper to legislate on this hosiness hereafter, when they had time to view the goestion in all its complicated beiriogs, but it seemed strange to say that they had evidence to deprive a hO - of its franchisepre, hoe vice, and not f.er. ever. The `tii , -cnins:anceii• of the representation of these botooghs being tilled up, could notsperate as a bar to legislation on the subject; and it would be better indeed, conitior tionolly, that theiuest ion of the disfraochisenient of these boroughs idieald bc discussed when their Members, who 1, might hewuippoiledto act ail theirAttorpies, were present.

The mole memo of log therefore was hy the Bill Whim *hey ctnei ed d that theist okifeneel were nut solitary—when every Membef of tie House ussistareessariir hare been acquainted with so many micoavicted offenders of the same deseriptiab, he felt that the sentence of two years' imprisonment, coupled with a very heavy fine, w.ea severe. The pri- S,llier, he believed, was fiti . years of age. and though the Criale was a aerillUS•09:41(11 against their privileges,— against law and morality, it could not he said to be ru;e. Ilia ease would operate as a warning ; even if the whole of the sentence were not carried into effect. it might have a tendency to make similar offences less frequent for the futnre. 31r. SUARLETT.—The Members of that House should be the last to appear disposed to treat with lenity such offences, to which they were out of doors hat too generally supyosed to view with favourable eyes. Though offences of this kind might in -:.ewe instances gain the cross, nod in others the crown, the Court of King's Bench did well always to skew a severe front to such of fences. Ile felt rclitctant to make these observations, }weanse he had • 4vasion to appear as advocate for this individual. After baling done his duty on that mca sion, however, his cumin-non with him ceased. Mr. BROI'OIIA 3! exlained. Sir J. If ORKE said, t hough he thought the case of Sir 31. Lopes a hard one, he could not also but feed for his friend Mr. Swam. who hail only been loons] guilty Itreanse he had :lone an art of••kindne.s.— Ile bad lent a man twenty pounds on account of his necessities; when the drown approaches! the man of fered him his vote on condition Mills cancelling the debt.

The man was sunning, and said, that when the draft was canceled hr !rust have it, or his wife otherwise would nut he persiEW.cd the debt was at an end. This the good-natnr:•d SW.Min consented to, that the wife might he et rest as well as her husband.

HARVEY said, at the end of the Parlia t►Y•et there seemed on both sides an anxiety to sbew tha: nothing racked soil► rmeral sympathy as the chas tisement of those who lire violated the purity of the House. But if the Bill was to be destroyed, he might lie allowed to sac etnneesing of the ease of Camelford. That borooris had. during this Parliament, remained nnrepresentesi without detriment to the constitution; and he could net tell on what principle this place, that is to say the 2.1 electors, who were willing to take 4PI.V. for their votes, shout ! : i,c di,franchiseJ. I Lord CASILSREAUH said, the only object of this , Dill was to enable the House to apply any punishment lit might iofliet on these boroughs earlier than they I otherwise could. The CRS! of Shaftesbury only applied to tiie i.ibuing of writs during the existence of a Parlia ment over nisi& the House had a constitutional con ! trout. But it nes a bolder measure to interfere with the elections for a future Parliament, when they were, in some measure, tied up to a specific number of i hlembere by the Acts of Union. llowe%er, if the Bill were pushed j to a division he should Tote for it. Sir J. 31ACIUNTOSII maintained. that it would be • • inconsistent with the principles of the Constitution, and with the character of the /louse itself, to allow the eler'ors who &tad been guilty of such flagrant reboi -1 nality to send Members to that House. This crimi nality was indeed s.: clearly manifested from the time of the suspension of the privileges of these boroughs, that ! he could not doubt but that the o th er Ho u s e of 'Arlie went would agree to suspend the issuing of writs to 'sorb boroughs for the period proposed in the present Bill. The course pursued on this occasion was foliy • ..varranted by :he precedent of the Act of the 14th of the late King, with respect t o th e Shafte s b u ry case. J. Lord Ai:SSE:Li ft in reply, said, to postpone or re sect the present Bill, would serve to raise a doubt in the country as to the sin.:rrity of the promise held oat by the fiOusr, that in any borough where flagrant rorrim dim was preire,l, measures should be taken not only fur the punishment of the corrnpt, but for the prevention of such corrupt p rac ti cer in future, by the disfranchise ment of the borough in which they took place. As to the corruption which prevailed in small boroughs, where the voters were comparatively few, poor and igno- rant, he notch ferret! that it was idle to calculate upon the prevention of such corruption; and he felt, that when. ever it was proved to take place, the only remedy was to transfer the right of election from boroughs of that description, to large and populous towns; and therefore he was a decided advocate for the course which the pre sent Bill hail in contemplation. The Noble Lord con eluded with a brief recapitnlation.—The motion was agreed to. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to. 1111 l rrow. Lon! PALMERSTON brought In the Mutiny Rill, which was read a first and second tine, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. 8 r PPLT.

He meant with respect to the situation of the Queen. If there were any subject which more than another interested the feelings of that House and the public, he believed it u-as the condition of this illustrious persons. e. For what wait that condition? It was clear from recent occur rences, as well as from the 1- , :gnage of the Noble Lord, that the Queen was not only unacknowledged, hut that it was apparently determined that she was not to be ac knowleuged. Ile would ask the Noble Lord, whether the dissolulon should take place without making any distinct prorlsion for the Queen ? It was knpwu, that the Act by which thirty-fire thousand pounds a year were granted to her Majesty had expired on the demise of the King, and was it now intended to !care her unprorided for? In what situation was it meant th a t the Queen of England should stand Was she to be left as a beggar on the (on tinent, or was she to depend for her snheistenee upon the mere bounty of some person or remiss in Eng land. He was quite sorry to sde the manner in which the Queen was treated. Why was not an Address of Con violence &nil Congratulation voted to her Majesty upon the demise of the King, and upon the seessnion of her hus- band to the Throe., as was the cosi with regard to the Queen Comsat of tinware II.? Upom what ground was the Queen passed bi altogether upon this oreasion, or why was her Majesty's Wipe °stilted in the [Ataxy ?
