J~~• 1 1 1 It S : 1 1 • /1 , • 1 : 1 t ferior officers might be very likely to follow. He should regret the day when the yeomen of England were exelnded from serving on Juries. Although not so quick of under standing, perhaps, or endued with so great a spring of mind as men living in towns e the country yeoman, in many particulars, was a valuable character, being possessed of more fearlessness, less liable to be awed, and blessed with that vis inertiae. or it may he called firmness, which was so necessary sometimes to the dischar4e of this duty. He hoped that measures would be taken to guard against any abuse in the selection of Jurors by inferior officers, and that at all times there should he a due proportion of all classes summoned to serve. He had always approved of the general meetings of counties which Assizes induced, as these meetings contributed to keep alive the spirit of free dom, and bring men more clasely to a tangible sense of their rights. People in towns, on the other hand, had al ready opportunities enough of being conversant with Courts of Justice; but he had no objection that they should have their share, provided the two classes were always brought together in a fair proportion. Mr. Secretary PEEL did not rise to oppose the motion, concurring as he did entirely with the floe. Mover in his views on this subject. He approved of the principle of ex tending more widely the right of serving in Juries, at the same time that he thought with an Hot:oorahle Member behind him, that any alteration in the constitution of Ju ries, should be undertaken with great caution. But con- Curing as be did in his reasoning, he was obliged to svy that the conclusion to which that reas ming led, appeared to him different from that which the Honourable Menthe conceived. Surely, if it was good to make more persons acquainted with the duties of a .feror, for that reason ik! principle of this bill. which was for extension, ought to tie approved of. The object was to make personal property 4 . qualification for serving on Juries in counties; hot as this bad been done hitherto in boroughs and towns, the prin ciple was in fact admitted, and there could be no objection to this Bill. The only defect in the measure seemc.l to be in the want of a more unerring test for aseertaieing the amount of each man's property. The practice was, for the inferior officers of the counties to make returns persons as they supposed qualified to serve; but there should be some certain guide afforded these men, be which they conid ascertain the property of Jurors. By this Bill, any one possessed of 1601. in personal property would have . • right to serve. . &Ir. WESTERN.—Four hundred. . Mr. PF.EL.—The principle was the same. The difficulty was as tot he mode of ascertaining whether a man was worth . this sum, without having recourse to a very inqpisitarial proceeding. He would suggest for the test, the assessment . fur parochial or poor rates—(Hear, hear.) —which could be referred to at once, and which would prevent disputes, either by objections made by the Jurors themselves, or upon challenges at trials. With regard to the incon venience s high was apprehended from the clashiiig. of die two Bills, be apprehended, that might be avoided by the Honourable Member sending his Bill to a Committee, who if they approved of the principle, might incorporate it with his Bill. Ile supposed the. Hon. Member would have no objection, as he understood that lie did not mean his Bill to be an Att in itself; but as a suggestion to be incorporated in the Consolidating Act. Mr. WESTERN said be approved of the suggestion %Odd' bad been made by the Right Honourable Secreta ry, awl would fix the details of the Rill in the proper stage. —Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. Mr. WESTERN then moved for returns of the number . of persons tre I on the Hanle Circuit, between December 1522, and January 1b:23, stating the offences with wLich . they tre cliarged.--thdc red. • CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Mr. MARTIN moved f•:• leave to bring in a Rill to amend the Act regarding Cruel , y to Cattle. lie said he saw no reason why other animals should not be privileged and protected, as well as cattle. The stro.lions trcelties that bad been perpetrated on dogs were well known.— /(Sonte !Member here spoke to tke Honourable Gentleman, wbo said, no, be bal . notion of protecting rats.) An in stance had been rela.e.l in the public prints, of a dog getting into a house, and a man throwing► boding water over him, that he expired in the greatest torture imagin able. Without pretending to have more sensibility than other people, he thought other animals as worthy of being protected as cattle. There was another object he should have in view in the amendment of the Bill, and it uas tl••e making the mistreatment of any animal a misdemeanour. — Nobody of constitutional principles would object tft trying a man before the Quarter Sessions, where he tvould Lave the benefit of a Jury to consider his case. At are same time making it a misdemeanour would not take away the sum mary jurisdiction the :Magistrate now hail. N.) man, who bail beard of the atrocity narrated in the public prints, of the burning of a parcel of horses to death, %maid say that a summary conviction, and imprisonment for a month or two, was an adequate puaishment. In the town of Holy well, a wretch applied a slow tire to a horse's belly, and scorched the animal until the whole coateuts of tit , abdo men tumbled out. Acts of that atrocity were net sufficient ly punished by conviction ht.;;) re a lla4istr pre. The other object of the motion was, for leave to brintr in a 1:111 to abolish bear-beating, and a number of utter cruel sports of the same descril;tion. Mr. Secretary PEEL said he was as much disposed as any one could be, to do justice to the motives of the lion. Gentle man ; but his amendment involved principles so important, that he should have entered more into detlil, and not have taken it for granted he was to introduces Bill of nib descrip tion without an argument in its favour. He could not Ramie to the Hon. Gentlemen bringing in the Bill, without reenrding his dissent from its principle.—(lienr.) If the Hon. Menilm had proposed to proceed on the principle that all pains ialPcted on animals, except for the use of man should he punished, that would be somethiug fair ; but it was not fair to select a particular instance to legislate upon, whilst we ourselves were chargeable with the same inhuman conduct. It was imposvi , de to forget that those who passed the Bill, were, for the pur. poses of amusement. gui:ty themselves of precisely the same thing.—(Year, hear.) The house had refused to make any alteration in the Game Laws last Session, on the ground that by the amusement exclusively possessed by country gentle men, they were induced to remain on their estates, and dis pense those benefits which were inseparable from their resi dence. What pretence could there be, for preventing iu the lower classes that lova of -spasm ashich astute had implanted in man. It was on that ground he thought all individual Acts for the suppression of bear baiting imperfect. Let the lion. Gentleman abolish cock fighting, hunting, and partridge sh:ot lug. and every other amusement which rested on the same basis. If the Hon. Gentleman could say, that for the purposes of police a particular offence should be suppressed, viz. bear baiting, he should be willing to listen to bis proposition ; but if he introduced this on the principle that pain ought not to be inflicted on animals, it ought to be much more extensive in its •:naetments. Who could say hawking was not in itself cruel? In fishing there was at least as much cruelty. There was a wanton Interference with the liberty of other animals who were shut up in a cage and exhibited to public view. If this principle was admitted, he knew not to what extent it might be carried. It would go to the abolition of all sports which rested on the same principle, viz.—where pain was wantonly Inflicted on animals for the amusement of human beings. If we limited the principle, and selected a particular instance, it was only great injustice and oppression, and it was on these grounds he should resist the present proposition for infixing a pushy on sports—the sports of the lower classes. Mr. MARTIN said, if the Hon. Secretary had attended any of these sports, he would be of opinion they stood on a different ground from shooting, fishing, or hunting. The gentlemen who followed those diversions, were not to be brought under the description of those wretched mis creants who attended bull-baiting, bear-baiting, monkey fighting, and those kind of sports. He would prohibit those sports which he found public opinion accompanied him in 'saying ought to be prohibited ; and he did assure the Gentlemen who heard him, that whatever their opi nions might be, it was the opinion of the better thinking s TIIE S rATESAUN . - • people of Ragland, (and many good thinking peop l e there were in Engla nd, out of that House), that these sports ought to be prohibited. He had letters innumerable from every part of the kingdom. There was not a part of the kingdom that he hail not a written correspondence with, and hr knew not a town that was not toady to petition Parliament in favour of the Bills he was moving for leave to bring in. He saw no inconsistency in prohibiting only those kind of gross atrocious cruelties. which corrupted the morals of the people. All the world went with him with regard to hull baiting ; no man could now bait a bull but was subject to the penalty of the law for cruelty to cat tle. The Mary-le-bonne Act already had prohibited, with respect to that part of London, these sports, aril he wished its extend the same benefit to all other parts of the In •tro pas. Everyone's stomach would be nauseated at the sight of a bull after it had been baited. He saw one with the upper lip torn off, and a great part of the tongue hang ing by shreds. Before Gentlemen decided so flippantly a Bill of this kind ought not to be brought in, they ought to attend one of these sports. There was a congregation of the greatest vagabonds In the world. The police officers said they were the worst characters who went there. By such acts the character of every Englishman must be degra ded. He assured the Gentlemen who heard him they were not supported by the public voice of this country; and if the population of London were to be polled, there would be a thousand to one in favour of bringing in the Bill. Mr. LOCKHAR'r suggested to the Hon. lientlem in, that by virtue of his Bill to prevent Crnelty to Animals, bear-baiting, as well as bull-basting, was prohibited. Ale. MARTIN slid that on that suggestion he should withdraw his motion. LEGACY DUTIES. Mr. IitYNIE moved fur an account of the Revenne re ceived for Stamp-duties on Legacies, Probet^s of 1V ills, &c. for the year ending the litir February, Ib2l, distin guishing the amount received for England, Wales, Scot land, end Ireland. From a return he moved for last year it appeared that no less than two millions in the shape of Legacy ditty hid been received from the subject ; conse quently, it aas an impolitic Act, which ought to be remov ed as early as possible. Another circumstance worthy the attention of the house was, that this very tax had beer, from s.aspe circumstance or other—he believed from neglect in the Management of the office—rendered extremely vexa tiOusdothe pnblic. Within the last few months, rates !rid beeninn& of duties on probstes of wills of from forty to fifty years standing. He knew a Gentleman. the fourth Individual to whom the property descended, who bad been obliged to pay a sum of bOl. lf, from carelessness of the Individuals at the bead of the office, any errors should take place, Government ought to be answerable ; and if private individuals were debarred, by the Statute of Limitations, from 'lnking a claim good, unless within seven years, the public had no right to prosecute after that period. There was no excuse fur the officer of the department, because every probate of a sill must be reported from Doctors' Commons within a fortnight of the period it is made there. Here another inconvenienceoccurred. A Gentleman stated vesterda to bimy (Mr. H ) he was administrator of a consi derable estate, and he wished to pay the duty to the Lega cy Office before he returned to the country. Ile found, however, on applying there, they had not got the report from Doctors' Commons ; and be was obliged to wait in town five, or six weeks, or comeop from the country again. These individuals were paid amply; and the lapse of time which took place was so heavy a grievance on the public, that it ought not to be endured. A memorial of Mr. Camp bell showed the facility with whithie sleight be done. The return would show the number of probates and administra tions in each year since the passing of the Act, and also the number in each year that remained unsettled. lie was quite satisfied witls the anxiety the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had shown to afford relief in these cases ; and he was sure great benefits would accrue totbS public front having these documents before them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he had not any objection to the motion. With relied to the grievances to which parties had been exposedTa conse (pence of the debts which bad accrued a great malty years ago not having been collected, he was prepared. to admit there was a strong case of hardship, and the'factitad been, Rot so much that parties intentionally evillest-payment, but that under the imperfect provisions of the law, they had not that sort of notice which every public hotly who collected taxes was bound to give. In the sear 1812, the gentlemen to whom the lion. Member alluded, ltuggested an alteration in the mode of collecting these taxes, and the result had been a more convenient and expeditious mode of collecting them, and every person had fair and imme diate notice of what he was to pay. But when this new system was first adopted, the course taken in the office was wrong, because they began by calling on the p wipe whose debts under the Act had accrued the year preced ing the new regulations. This had been attended with considerable inconvenience. In many eases the executors could not find the legatees, on whom they would be en titled to come. The Treasury had taken steps which would hierealtur renture any cause of complaiut of that nature. _ _ Mr. WAR RE said, that by the present machinery a con ,siderable ruinher of days elapsed before the notice came, 41111 it the whole could be tr:lns.,ctcol in a shorter Fpuo of time, great ineonvenience would be saved. Mr. RUNE said, that a plan of the kind not 4 adopted had more than once been laid before the late taucellor of the Exchequer, who rejected it. The Si'EAKER put the question that there btlaid be fore the House a Return of the number of Adishn trotions, Probates of Wills, Inventories of Effects, reported to the Legacy (hike in Great Britain in each year, since the Geo. ill. cap.9B ; also stating the number of accounts for each of the years now settled, distinguishing tie nuan• hers which cannot be settled, and an account of *version- ary Bequests. A similar Return for Ireland for:the same period. Also a Return of the aggregate expecte of Re turns to the Legacy Office in each year since itibas been modelled under the new system of Mr. Litalephell. Agreed to. Mr. Ot:ATTAN moved for copies of the pAreedings 01 the inquest on the body of a person natnedf: Michael :ll.Vauehan, who met his death in a pabli.s.lsouee during a riot. There were contradictory evidence as to tlte cause of Lis death, and he moved it because hr- thilttglliridrit he beneficial for the sale of justice in Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN-asked the Miles. Gentleamsa whether he considered it advisable the evidence should be)brought before the Ilense, thereby enablieg the parties ,to shape their case accordingly. No doubt inquiries woositgbe iiraue by the Government into the subject. Mr. GRATTAN withdrew his motion. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIE• QUER, the House went into a Committee of Sepply. Thirty-three thousand ponods were voted to pay off and discharge Exchequer hills. Mr. HUME asked whether this was to renew the Bills? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said' the vote did not refer to the stun necessary foriuterest. Mr. HUME wished to know what the hills were? Mr. HERRIEB said it was to charge the Etchequer bills, issued this year in supply of those issued last o tear. • Three hundred and sixty-eight thousand pounds were voted to enable his Majesty to pay of and discharge Ex cheituer bills, issued between sth January, (523, and sth January, 1824, pursuant to certain Acts for carrying ou public works. Also one hundred and fifty thousand pounds for intercat. on Exchequer bills just referred to. Amain of 200 000 i. was voted to his Majesty to discharge a lik e a mount of Supply granted for the serlice of interest calcrlatrd ? Mr. HERRlES'said the bills bad beenit suedat a cer tain fixed rate of interest. ia ; *. Tile SPEAKER resumed the Chair, and the Report of the Committee was brought up. Mr. GOULBURN moved for a return of the number of Beres of land belonging to the Church in Ireland, distin guishing such as formed part of the . glehe land, and such as were uncultivated. Also to bring to a hill to enforce the residence of the Clergy in Ireland. Ile also moved for a new writ for the county of Westmeath. 'I he House adjourned at ten minutes before seven. LORDS-APPEALS. Yesterday was the second day for hearing Appeals be fore the house of Lords. The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Wools telt at ten o'clock. The hearing o f the Queensbnry Causes" was resumed. There were present Lords Liverpool, Colchester, and Walsingliam, they being three Peers named, pursuant to the new regulations to at tend ; but the celebrity of the causes and of the Counsel re tained to plead them attracted many other Peers. The Duke of York was present, and remained till two, when he went on horseback, attended by a single groom, as usual, to the Horse Guards. Below the bar was the main point.of at traction ; indeed, there were far more persons below the bar than attended on Monday ; amongst them were several Barristers from our Courts in their wigs and gowns. The crowd was about as great as on any day of the Queen's trial, and " strangers" kept constantly passing in and out. Nlr. Jeffery, Mr. Cranstoun, and Mr. Monerielf were in attendance; Mr. Moncrielf occupied the whole morning in addressing their Lardships on behalf of the respon dents. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. Paris Journals to the 10th inst. and the Male of Tu s dav reached us last night by Express. These Papers do not confirm the report contained in pri vate letters received in the course of yesterd 'y, that the French Monarch had had a sudden relapse, and that his life was considered to be in imminent danger. They state on the contrary, that he bld given public audiences as usual, and the high price at which the funds closed (97 francs 35 cents.) according to the Clear iluthentique, shows that nothing had transpired in the Fr-nch metro,mli: to excite alarm. Ihe Etoile having announced that toe Chambers would open their Sittings on the 7;h of April, in commemoration of the day on which the French troops crossed the Bitlassoa, the Constitutionntl juAly remises that the p..rimi for openiug the new Chamber was used by the Ordinance which dissolved the old, and that it is the 24J1 of 31atcli. which leaves comparatively but a short time fur accomplishing the great and complicated work of the elections. The Journal der Debals contains accounts from Rome to the end of the last month, by which it ap pears that the mortality which has lately prevailed amongst the high anthotitics of the Catholic Chord' is not likely soon to stop. Another distinguished prelate, Cardinal Severoli, had received the sacrament, and na,not e xpe c ted to live. The Pope's own sister, Countess MAI ',lli, was also at the extremity ; and the aged Pontill was not exct ed to survive. The late Cardin.' tionsalvi is said to hate bequeathed to the Propaganda all his property. in. lading several articles of great value %%Web he had received from the Sovereigns. The htelligenre from Madrid in these Papers co:nes down to the 11 inst. It reiterates the assertion that tha long promised amnesty was at hit to he procht.med in obedience to the " pressing demands" of 'he French tiovernment. It is doubtful, however, whether demamls unaccompanied by threats will have ary effect on the wretched Ferdinand, and therefore. the French Cabinet, it is said, intends to appoint General Bourtno..t, who c0m .1140141 the army of occupation, to be their plenipotentiary ,04.4 fig Court .ofMedAid. Their remonstrances, itt. hoped, leak ,produce greater eff ct when enforced by the com • wander of 50,009 bayonets. This new arrangement will not talus place till the 15th instant, when Marcellus is ex. petted to return to Paris, with the amnesty which his mission was mainly intended to expedite. The Swiss guards, formed since the return of Ferdinand, stem to have incurred his displeasure,or the displeasure of the Monks. They are, it is said, to be removed, and their places to be filled by twelve thousand Irishmen, who are expected in Spain to form regiments of that nation as in former tim es. kor tne honour of Ireland we trust they will in vain be expected as long as Ferdinand wields the sceptre, and notwithstand ing their proverbial partiality tor war and lighting, the Irish will not produce a single volunteer in the cause of dis honour anti despotism. it II the Royal volunteers of the Canton of Logrono, have sent a petition to tire King., demanding the Incrisition. The petition is signed by the Comman ders of•each village, and contains at least thirty signatures. By a private letter we learn that Aloisia de Stolberg, the wife of James Stuart, the Pretender, died at Florence on the 29th alt, in the 72d year of her age.

They are said to lie "ahmit 6,011 persons' in Jla•lrid alone who deserve to be severely punished." It continues IJ be reported that two Spanish regiments are about to embark for South America. TRIAL OF-AIADAME Cll. UVET. The Advocate General spoke for four boors. He took a review of the various conspiracies and attempts at exciting insurrection in IS - 22:.alltitled to M. flooring whom he termed a fougueux radical, well known for his intimacy with Sir Hobert Wilson, and supposed t ► be the corre epoodent of a Morning Paper. He then went over the chief points of the conspiracy, as detailed in the act of ac cusation, and c.ine to the alleged participation of Madame Chauvet and after going over the grounds for suspicion atrain4 her, ire concluded that they were not saThcient to iitahlisi bee being is 'accomplice, but enough'to inair her liable to punishment for non-revelation. The Advo cate General read the letter addressed by to lien. Lafayette. It was is follows: My respectable Friend—l take advantage of the departure of a lady who is kind enough to take charge of the letter, to let you know something about me. I have to tell you that I havc•heen ill, but am now well, my strength will return, I hope .suddenly; I expect much from the spring. She (the lady) will inform you of my occupations and the circumstances of my new establishment. You have at all limes shown so lively an interest for me, that I should think myself wanting in grad. tude, if I did not acquaint you with what m9st interests me.— A thousand thanks to your son,and to his fatfier in law's family.

I remain in London, which is lie much as to say that I am entirely at your service ((trail that cah interest you' until 1823. • l'he letter was addressed to 31. de la Fayette, or in case of not . finding him, to his son. . The Advocate General sought to .show that the expres sions of this letter were extremely suspicious, and said fur :that regards the other persons (besides Madame Chativet), these saspitions appear to us very weighty, and of such a nature, that if other proofs should be beteafter brought forward. justice will do Its duty.—(Sensation amongst the audience.) The prisoner's Counsel was then heard. The President summed op, and The Jury, after three quarters of an honr's deliberation acquitted the prisoner. The Advocate General then demandtd the application of the Law with regard to the accused, who were absent. K er _ tenre of death was accordingly pronounced against gntiri Son ligne, Lavocat, Chaavet, Condert, Marthien and Hyppolite Rolland. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE OCLOCK.

The rate of taxes in England, and the vexatious mode of thcir collection, are grievances more oppressive than ever fell to the lot of any other nation on the face of the globe. But perhaps there is not to be found nithin the whole range of fiscal exaction, any tax so severely felt, as that levied on wills and administrations, by the Legacy Doty office, at Somerset House. This subject was been& before the public in an able letter of our correspon. dent Ctvts in yesterday's Statesman, and by a kind of incidence, before the House of Commons on the same day, by Mr. Hume. The teazing and minute inventory required to be taken of the testator's or intestate's personal effects, from a tooth-pick to a button hole on the coat, and the capricious valuation of both by the Legaey Office appraiser, resembles something like the search which a Revenue officer makes the econggler undergo. Hone.. this inqui• sitorial power, so liable to abuse, keeps those subject to La exercise, in a constant fever and ferment. Those evils and the astonishing increase of duties, are properly anti I distinctly pointed out by Cieis, in his letter to the Chancel lor of the Exchequer. Mr. Hume • notices other grievances connected with the collection of this branch of Revenue, particularly the hardships which executors suffer from being compelled to pay legacy duties, remaining unclain ed for twenty years. In answer to those and other cheep.. of a similar kind, we were not a little gratified to bear the Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledr the of hardship had been brought under hi the Treasury had taken steps, which effectnally remove all cause of complaint of the Esche pier, however, pronounced on the improvements introduced by MI troller of the new Legacy office , ought to know that there are two ct Offices, called the old and the arrears of duty belong to the locales; head of which is Mr. Campbell, are a and quicksighted to suffer any accumi This Uentleman wrote a Book of edict being a Scotsman. very prudently dell Lord Melville, (then Mr. Dandas,) powerful Patron he could not have se crammed with infallible fractional and cured him the reputation of a seem therefore collected courage enough Treasury, the trial of a New Leas, on condition of being placed at its head,' to make vastly more productive than 'Rion. about the year 1814 we beams was listsgtd adopted as an experiment to ties of the new Comptroller undertaking.
