General PEPtiUSSON presented ft Petit's:it from tl.e SCOIS nova Burgh of Forfar, totopliaining of she loss of po:iiical Interest, imed lira) lag for Reform iu the 'violations of the Burgh,. POLICE. Mr. BENNETT brooght up a Report from the Committee,.wilich was ordered to He on the - • Mr. BENNETT then observed, that the Report referred to the prison of Tothitl-fields, 'and 'hi. Haase of Correction.: at Cold Bati.fields, &c., to which in no long -period 110 less than .10,000 or 11,000 had been committed. Ile was desirous that Members should read the Report, and consider and examine it folly. Theo his -should wish to call their attention to the want of • proper classification of persons in pri son, as to ages, sexes, and distinctions of crimes. These rireemststices were not confined to Loudon. —There were establishments termed Houses ot . Cor• section, wherein labour was not imposed according to the nature of the institutions, though tt :le was picking of oakum, and other occupations, by.:*bich thiidle and the wicked could while away the time. There appeared also, to be • great grimace in these places, in the numbers of persons who were mixed together under different sentences for different crimes. This required a remedy. The evil might be seen at the Culd Bath-fields Penitentiary, though he believed that the keeper was an hottest and most praise. worthy person. He acted from the best of his judgment, as It was understood that the Magistrates had not issued a written order for some time past. The keeper acted like a sensible man, with a due regatdlo duty and to humanity. But there were two Acts of Parliament which it did not appear that the Magis trates had sufficiently attended to. The great in crease of prisoners had been variously accounted for. The distresses 'of the times might in some extent tarnish a reason for it. No man could now walk shoot the streets without knowing the frequent applications for relief--applications not known in any such extent till within these few years. Ile was matin s ced, that, in many of these cases, the misery did aot arise from the want of a disposition to wotk or todo Something % but frees the want of the Means of belt% enabled to do so. The distresied went to a Jetties without a fritrod,-and he was often told that the weeitheeee was open to bleu But this surf of relief wilkisfs t rieneriflly applideble. B. various charitable isrstketione had been very be neficial. •1 1 11. Hon.

The !listen) itself was es tremely.-eppersitive. He did not know of any that could be ototi so.' The criminals might be employed at house, or near hotise, at a much lefle'espence.— ,Kvery part of the system appeeted to be rotten end noosed, and he could at ot ,seneoliatllsere was about It-t, keep it ',live. It had been shown before the Comusitiee,%that the ConStsbles under the Police were often thieves themselves, entl.defrauders of the unwary. ,He trusted that the Hesse would look se riously to such grist end crying evils. The crimi nality did not attach upon the Magistrates, hut on the, lower:classes of those who were employed io the Police seriice. There;was 'one e r onsiderable source of evil arising out of the licensing system, and the remedy was not effectsal by merely patting down flash houses; &c., as they were called, mud by say ing, " you are not to cell gin without beer, or else. woe - betide you if yoe have 'not a tap-room."-- He trusted that the House would, nest Session, examine the whole system, sad trace it back for years past, and then,they would see bow the child wes led on from the ale-hoese to bed company, and afield also see, that if no material alteration were made, the evil would go on incre a si ng .

Mr. BENNEI7 asked, whether any improve ment had been Made in the mode of contracting for theclothing of Comte, sent from Ireland? Mr. PEELmatttd; 'that the attention of Govern menthad been directed to that subject, and it was found, upon enquiry, that a considerable saving 6tuld be Mode by contracting for the clothing in Dublin, and sending it from thence to Cork, where' it was,formerly the'costons.to perchsse it. A plan was therefore adopted consistently with this disco very, .which had in the - :eiltrie of the last year ef fected a saving of 1,0001.'•”' On the motion of 54i:' 1 9. 1 BATHURST, the Re port of the Committee re remunerating the person , concerned in preparing 'the General Index to the Journals of the House was agreed to, and an Ad dress adopted accordingly. • Iir . S.ROIWILLY presented a Petition from - Roger Cole, complaining of the conduct of the insolvent ThlbtoreCourt ; in which the Petitioner complained that the - toort had improperly remanded him and continued his imprisonment ;w hich , under the course now'adoptetl bY the Court, might be continued to an indefinite time. ' The Petitioner did not impute any corrupt or improper motives to the Judge of the Court, hut only charged him with en error in judg sent, and prayed for relief from the House. The ' Petition was reed, and Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. BROUGHAM also presented a Petition from John Dodd, of Shagford, in the county of Durham, complaining of having been improperly remanded, on a decision of the Itisolveiit Debtors' Court. 'The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, it was his intention, in the early part of nest Session, to call thi . ottention of the 1100010 this Act, which' Would otherwise espire of itself. The Petition was then ordered toile on thrtable. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from Mr. O'llanlin Complaining of certain injuries which lie tradrrecei;ed from certain high legal authorities in Ireland. The Honourable Gentleman said, at this lee period of the Session, he should move nothing on this Petition except that It should lie on the table, and he printed. Mr. PEEL, complained of the conduct adopted by the Hon. Gentleman on this subject. As long ago as the Session of 1816, the Hon. Gentleman pre. seated a Petition almost aimilar to this from Mr.l O'Hanlin, 'and then gaie notice of a motion on the subject; but OW brought it forward. Lest Session another Petitirin was presented, and another notice giten; but do motion Was 'esoer Irrought'forward.— The Petition contained charges 'against' the Lordl Chancellor and the Attorney : General of Ireland ;, sad now the lion. Ceisilemen come - In the third year, I with a third. Petition, and still contented himself with again moYing that flitirifflliin should Jie on the 'table. This was a most mortar Coarse towards the Noble and Learned Personsltebad alluded to ; who, however, WherteSer the charge should be brought for ward, would he'reody to•meet it. Mr. BROUGHAM defended himself against the chargeo(jrreguterity and unfairness. . Mr. C N OGSTO thought the mode now. adopted ‘ , • i ,4 , ' n ' was most unfair ' towards the parties sewed. lto trusted 41% Hoop would not ailuw this Petition to be, printed: .. Sir S:TieIYILLY denied. that there had been any . think 'unfair . on the part of his Learned Friend, iu the proceeding on this Petition. After a few observations from the CoANCELLOtt of the EXCHEQUEU and the SPEAKER" Mr. Bitoortutw , withdrew his motion: LORD STEWART. Mt. BROUGHAM seeing the Noble Lodi se it sreagh) in his place, wished to put a question to :hltit, in which he was not influenced by any hostility to-, wards him or his Noble Relative, fai whom he ep t,rtained a high respect in his military capacity.— He pat the question in a spirit of centinitr, and as an act of justice to the House and the Country. The delay for which he might be charged in this caite„ arose from a desire not to clash with the proceed ings of 'a Court of twice; be The notoriety giien to those facts by the proCeedings in Court made it necessary that they should now he noticed. The brother of the Noble Lord had stated, in an affidavit In the Court of °wintery, upon a private felt with strhiCh they had'no4biscern, that he had 194001. a year from this connty, 0 Ambassad or to the Court of Vienna, end also that he had 10001. a year as Lord of the Bedchamber. What he wished to know Was, whether doting the tbserice of the 'Noble Lord from that station, comprising • period of about twelve mouths, he continoed to receive the jpCpflle arising front it ? The nest point be ; geishas(to no fiat wai t the inconsistency of the two Atostions.— The otto6datico 6Y a Lord ,c 1; ihjo Bedcheotber was nernaniy in she spleedoirt Alibi!

He should feel mud graei‘ed. _ Noble Lord could give satisfactory Omen to these enquiries. Lord CASTLEREAGH declared liitista satisfied. list the .Honourable Gentleman was only influenced by a public motive in putting thi questions he bad just stated. lie regretted at the same time, that he did not feel it necessary to do so at an earlier pe rind. It must be obvious to the House, that con sistently with a respect for his own character, his Noble Relative could not have removed froM the country sooner. Tie bad returned here on leave of absence, and was detained by the circumstance which the_ Honourable Gentleman had noticed. It was well understood, that those public servants who held high situations abroad, were often permitted to return home for the arrangement of their private affairs. in these cases it was customary to augment the Wary. of the Secretary of Legation from the salary of the Am bassador, who was absent. . This was done in the base of his Noble Relation. With respect to the inconsistency of the two offices, it was to be observ ed, that its no instance where a Lord of the Bed chamber was appointed to an Embassy abroad, was it deemed necessary that he should retire from the personal service of the Sovereign. Mr. BROUGHAM. said, by had abstained from pulsing the question before, because be thought it was unnecessary. As to 'the office of Lord of the Bedchamber, if it was requisite for the splendour of the Crown, another person ought to be appointed when one was sent abroad. Lord cAsTLEltExcill remarked, that the CAS(' had often occurred before in which that principle was not acted on, the. House would therefore judge why it was nn* brought fOrvierd for the first time. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that the reason was perfectly clear. He had not noticed it till now, be came now for the first time it was admitted upon affi davit in a Court of Justice. CORONFAS' ELECTION RILL. On the motion of Mr. LOCKHART, the Lords' Amendments were agreed to. PETITION AGAINST TIE CLAUSE OF THE ALIEN BILL. • Sir J. MACINTOSH presented a Petition feom certain persons in Edinburgh, against tip clause added by the House of Lords to the Mien Bill, tak ing away the right of naturalisation which foreigners had by the possession of 801. stock in the Rink of Scotland, by a Scotch Act of 1695.—The Petition was read, end laid on the table. Mr. TIERNEY moved, that the Petition should be referred to a Select Committee. Lord CASTLEREAGH said he should oppose the motion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The right given to the foreigners who might COMP into Scotland and purchase stock to the amount of 801. was a right which be considered by no means proper to veldt.— 'Testate of the law by which the operations of this reentry were conducted, was entirely contrary to 1 such a right without certain reservations which the Act by which the right was given did not contaio.—. Th, facts of the case were all known, and therefore it was not, he conceived, necessary to enter into an. investigation. The Act, indeed, appeared to - him to he a kind of fraud on the law, by which foreigners would be introduced into the country in despitelndl contradiction of the Alien Bill. Let the Rouse only ermine the fact. .A man, by the Scotch Act, hod only to be possessed of eighty pounds, worth of. Stock in the Bank', and he was a nate relized subject : in all other cases, however, a man could not be a natural born subject till the Oath of Allegince should be taken. He put it to the Rouse, whether it was proper to allow such a state of law to remain. Indeed, considering all circumstances, he thought an apology ought to be made to the House, for no such measure as the clause repealing 'the Scotch Act having been iaserted in the Bill. It might be considered v however, that the Act bad been virtually repealed. The Acts of Geo. 1., and the 13th or 14th of Geo. 111. might he considered as a virtual repeal of that Act. tie hoped that it would not be allosied that such a technicality of law, as be might coil it, should be recognised. It was a prin ciple of law to which that House never, he was cosH winced, as ouldssubmit. There was nothing so com mon as that when a law was passed, with reference, to particular facts, it had been made to operate re trospectively upon what had occurred before it was proposed to the Legislature. Throe was a Bill rela tive, to Resident Clergy, which acted upon that prin. ciple. That measure formed a perfect precedent of that kind of law. The question was not, it should be considered, whether the persons whom the clause' would affect were naturalized before the Uuion, or whether they should be, naturaliz.d by a regular Bill of that. Mope for the purpose, Ina whether, by the purchasepf : a certain quantity f stock, and in a man ner. takiug themselves yet of the class of Aliens, and taking themselves out ni,Ae,purview and operation of the Alien Bill, they wqptd consider that clause in a Scotch Act as a repeal of the Alien Law entirely.— Jt was then a question whether they would not sup pond p o r c hes. of stock, from excepting from the 'Alien Act, sod allowing foreigners to come iato the Alibis 9( British - subjects, in a manner by such a abort Wet-Pt-( near, hearl)—br suspend foreigners from the mottineatice of the effect pf the Scotch Act. Under all circumstauces he should certainly oppose the motion. Sir S. ROMILI r Y rose , sttorigly to rapport the Petition,. for he considered it the duty ot the House, if it bad' the least regard for the Peoplti, or had not a determination to act against all justice, propriety, and ial‘ i to enquire into the facts therein enumerated. Since be had hid the honour of a sett la bat Muse, a question of greeter imoroance never came .before them, considering what was the measure that was proposed, and the distirines i. rinl which, the 3 . 1 , 101de Lord had ventured to defend neer; 4efr 1 The noble Lord bad implied thek it was not miry io enter' tab an luvestiga' s4 tln, heetresal ..if 'the (octant' ;he case seek kneels, T h e !VOL'S Lord did Igot M kt w, the raft. • Ile did elei lie. the Act (riot I Was ruipmili,d by ;he eiattsy. lio,did know; be had I 'not; lionevei„ read to (lie Mete. got let them know what that Act was that it smils..propoied' to repeal.

But he was more then ell sc rpi ised,w hen he saw the conduct of the other House,' who were the suprenteCourt efJu wire of that country . It was that body that were legislating by a short tut. They sent the Allen Bill back to the Commons with the repeal of an esisting law; end they Catlett that an addition to the Bill. Ile bed never known a p.a. needing like that, to force upon them such en *Mee& meat, tinder a supposition, perhaps, that' In *thik harry at the close of the Session, it might be passed' without observation. It appeared to him as monstrOut a circumstince as had ever been heard of. He should, however, take another view of the case. Unless be was much mistaken, the House could not, without a surrender of its privileges, agree to an amendment' which subjected a nimbi! . of paople to the Alias Duties. Sup posing that, amongst the 49 rittraona, , slime pf them had come to the kingdom with the In , tention of making a considerable pirchase of pro. perty, the effect of the lair would be to forfeit the estates of these individuals. It was, in fact, Chit they should he Aliens daring the whole operattbie be the. Aliiin Act. With regard to privilege'', there ' • coehl he no doubt of what he bad stated, &Irae in stances bed occurred which he should mention, that bore much more remotely upon great and iMpotlant , principles than that they were then onsiderlug. id Hatsell's Reports, a Case ' was recorded, where the House had thrown out en amendment of the ' Lords, enabling a Judge 'ln Certain rises to . glee a less sum than 401. That **slimily's' out is being a money clause. Several Instances were on record, • in which clauses, imposing "pensitir4,• Irlire thrown ' net, which tiled individuals much mere rentntcly than the present clause.
