it would secure him more an; ction and veneration than the most gorgeous execut►on of it. Time was that the thing might have been otherwise thought of; but the people had too much sense to mix forma with substances, or to ►npp'.se that it could alter the right of allegiance whether the King were crowned or not. lie concluded by objecting to the grant of aurora propnaCJ to the Duke of Cla rence. Mr. B. BATHURST maintained that the corona tion was part of the constitution. Hr could prove it by this, that the oaths could not be taken by the Monarch except at the Coronation, being pre scribed as a covenant, 44 to be administered to Kings at their respective curt:mations." It was contrary to law as well as the constitution to neglect the ceremony. He regretted the lack of respect sod veneration which had been aliewn in the men tion of it. Ile admitted that a similar feeling might prevail among the public, which made it more im perative to go on with the ceremony, so as to renew the devotion of the people to the Sovereign and the Constitution. As well might Hon. Members ob ject to the form in which Bills were passed w an other House, namely, ill a foreign language. He maintained that the expense of the Coronation would be generosity beneficial Rothe monfmcsuring interests. Mr. iionuouss said, that the reason given by the Right Hon. Gentleman for proceeding with the Coronation was remarkable—because the public had no taste, nr rather had a nausea for expensive ceremonies, they were to force a Coronation down their throats. As, however. a Coronutiou was not a thing for every year, but only for every reign, they might as well have had it on a cheaper scale. He questioned the good which it was likely to do to trade. He was sadly afraid that wino they give with o n e hand would be taken sway by the other. There was no necessity fur a Coronation taking place merely because oaths were prescribed for a Coronation. It might as well be argued, that as the Queen's Chamberlain must be present at a Queen's Caron Minn, the Queen herself must of necessity be rowned. 1 le wished to know what had been gained by the Coronutioa of the last long reign, except an eli citor for refacing that measure of Coliolic emanci pation, which th e Noble Lord himself hod come fur wind to recommend at the end of it. The Sovereign was not d'epri,ed of a single power by not taking the Corofietion oath ; for himielf be doubted the legaliv of the King being crowned without the Queen. He would hot atop to ili.cuss the matter, us there would brother opportunities. He opposed the grant to the Duke of Clarence. and main tained the right of Members to consult their persoual feelings upon such grants. lie would vote more money to a Prince whom lie esteemed than to one whotn he did not esteem. It was not his intention to apply the observation snore closely. Lord MILTON said that the oath of the Corn. nation did not bind the King more than lie would have beefs booed without it. Massy persons did not take the oath of allegiance, but who iver sup posed that on that account he owed no allegiance. Ai to the fitness or unfitness of a Coronation, that must depend on public circumstances. Mr. (.:11EY EY aria that he would wait till the Bill was in Committee to oppose the grunt of weer*. The House then went into Committee. 'Fbe grant or 6,0001. a year wee agreed to with out a dsvissoo. On the motion fur filling up the time blank with the year 1818— Mr. HUME muved, as au amendment, that 1811 should be inserted. The 31inquis of LONDONDERRY contended that there was no incoosistency in the Duke's Inswing now come forward to accept the money, and put it to the I - louse if they would do any thing to dis tress • matrimonial settlement, which was a subject of such I., , enrral satisfaction to the country. Mr. Doug replied, his objection was chiefly to the precedent of grunting a ra. If Ministers wished to give more than the annuity, they should come forward and ask for • specific sum. The Committee then divided, when there ap peared Fur the Arrears 54 Ageism them Majority 3O The Hauge rearmed. and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. LOTTER! ES. RILL. Tin` CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then mowed the arcond reading of the Lotteries Bill. Mr. G. RENNETT thought is making Lotteries part of hit ways and means, the Hight Hun. Gentleman (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) Ann created these crimes which %erre afterward 4 punished in anolher form. and he really be lieved the Right Hun. Gentleman filled Newple with eri rainalt. _ _ Mr. MONCK agreed with the sentiments expressed by the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury. He observed that in 1817, which was a year of she greatest distress from the high price of ei.rn.yet in that year the lotteries were the must productive. H► did hope that this would be the last year in which this measure would lie 'nought forward. Sir B. MORLAND hoped that, in coasideration of the wishes of emery actions person in the courtly, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would at least reduce the number uf Lut terieb to two iu the year. Mr. BROUGHAM rose to express ►is surprise at the silence of the Right Hon. Gastineau, though his surprise way somewhat dinituished when he considered thst the only Hops/urns 14 bath he had ever beard in favour of this Bill from the Chancellor of the Excheqser was, that it brought su so winch mosey that he could rot afford to be holiest sad give it up, which was exactly the argument of the Portuguese Guymon's' fur retaining the African slave trade. The Bill was sead a secuud time, and ordered to be com mitted to-morrow. APPROPRIATION BILL. _ Oa the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the HOUGOa went iota a Coassoittee ea the Appeopeis. him, Bill. Mr. HUM E said, he would set detain the Hones but a few minutes; he had proposed to have taken up a longer poi tion of their time, bet me several of his friends ore that rude of the House lied his. obliged to go, he should content himself with so oluervation on one ire two items. He wished to call the minutes' of the Noble Lord opposite to the capriole of the office of Paymaster for the Half pay, which lie thought might be dispensed with, and the expense to Ike Country saved. The Remuitingtierricealso was a sub worthy of their notice. The depot at Maidstone was kept up at a great expense fur repairs, aut. though it wastrel, a tem. purary Lerma, whilst there were ptesity of regular barracks varsiii, and ought be appropriated fur that purpose. He ob served un the great amount of the minimal salaries to the officers of the dock-yards, lobo were, by the altered value of armory, seceivieg 19 per rent. more than during the war, though their duties were diminished. The express, of Port Admiral at Portsmouth mid Plymouth were in 1792 oily 1,470 f. but now as a full Allsninal was kept at both theme places, the ex piton: duwouleti to 3,7861.; the difference be thought night well he saved, as a Yice.Ad viral would surely he sufficient. He Omitted as Ministers had agreed to an Address to the Crown, recommending retrenchment, that the Noble Mar quis would lend hie cordial assistance. Oa reconsideration be was better satisfied with the Addrem which had hero carried, than with the one which he had himself proposed, ■nd he hoped the Noble Marquis would be fantod a simians supporter of it. fn the part which he had taken during the Bevan's, he thought he had proved himself the hest friend of the Noble Martinis. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to assure the Hon. Member that neither his Address nor that of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Bankes) was wasted to enforce on Ministers • the necessity of economy. He was happy to observe, from the Liodditiosorr which the Hun. Member had displayed that the debates of the Session had not soured his temper—that good humour must make him a very valuable acquisition to the society which he was going to enjoy . The Bill was then ordered to be recommitted to-morrow. METROPOLIS POLICE. After which the Moose resumed, •nd went i•to • Com mittee oat the Metropolis Police 8111. Mr BENNF.TF objected to the clause for apprehending suspicions characters, as tending not to suppress crime, but to put money into the pockets of police officers. He men tioned an instance where a robbery of goods to the amount of 4,000?. was committed, and the merchant on applying to the police officers was at last induced to give 4001. when he hod the goods replaced in his warehouse.— The state of the public parks also were such that ao modest women could walk in them without insult, except in the public places. He recommended that an efficient police should be employed to render those places safe far the King. lieges to pass, instead of being, as they at present were, public nuisances. Another subject to which he wished to call the attestion of Ministers, was the immense number of fairs is the vicinity of the metropolis. Between summer and autumn there were no less than eighty-four fairs within ten miles of London. Whatever use they might have been of formerly, they were at present only places of assemblage for all the Noose and disorderly persons of the metropolis, and more ruinous to youth than any other thing that be was aware nf. Within gunshot of that House, at Totbill-fields, every species of disorder was committed with impunity, for the police were not strong enough to repress them. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL defended the clause ob jected to by the Hon. Member, it was in principle the same as .1 clause enacted iii the 17th George 11. from which no iocnoveniener bad ewer resulted. Mr. BENNETT explained. Mr. Alderman BRIDGES hoped the censure of the Hon. Gentlemtu was not applicable to the police °Meer, of the City. He agreed with the Hon. Member in reprobating the fairs in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and wished that they could be suppressed altogether. Or. LUSHINGTON believed that a very large proportios of uffeaces bad arisen from permits attending the fairs is question. Ever since be had been a Member of that House, he had thosight of proposing a Bill fur suppressing them.—.. If something were nut done by his Majesty's Ministers in . the ensuing Session, be certainly should feel it his duty to propose mine measure uti the subject. He .had himself passed by West End fair at the time these outrages took place, when one man lust his life, and was a witness that the police were incompetent to restrain them. Sir W. DE CR ESPIGNY agreed hi censuring the fairs, as congregating together • number of characters of the worst description. Is his neighbourhood, at the fair time, rob beries were f►egaeat. The study of Lord Cando', his sear neighbour, was broken iuto, and the tracks of the thieves were discovered next morning strewed with Cabinet papers, which were tieing about the park. The remaining clauses of the Bill were ply agreed to. The House then resumed, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to morrow. EXTRA POST. The Order of the Day for the House going Into a Com mittee en Ilse Extra Post Bill having been read, on the quo,- lion that the Speaker du now leave the chair—. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, he was decidedly opposed to this Bill, because there was no instance of any coach starling at or about the same time with the mail and reaching its destination "ia • shorter or even is as short a time as the mail. The avowed principle of the Bill, therefore, which was to give to the public conveyances a degree of expedition equal to that of any other coach or conveyance, fell to the Kroond. His next objection was that the mails established by the present Bill were to travel at the rate of eleven miles au hour ; which exposed the drivers to the penalties of the law for driving over persons on the road. That they would be liable to the penalties of the law, was proved by ■ case which occured some years ago of the Norwich mail driving over a man in Biellopsgate-street and killing him, In which the driver pleaded in justifi cation, that he was obliged by his orders to drive at the rate of nine miles an hour ; hut the Judges held that No orders either from the Post Office or from any office whatsoever could justify his driving at such a rate as to endanger the lives or limbs of persoas passing along the highway. The r►.e of eleven miles an hour, he contended, readered It al most impossible to avoid accidents. A still further objec tion was, that this Bill would give to those places where the extra post was established an undue preference over other.. He should therefore move as an amendment, that the Bill be committed this day three months. Sir R WILSON raid that ten miles an hour was a rate of travelling which be did not think could give offence to ugly man or could be considered as a violation of any law, unless accidents from negligence occurred. It was a rate al which every Gentleasau travelling pest was in the habit of journey nig. In addition to that rate of travelling, much of the expe dition of the carriage by which the mails were to be forward ed under this Bill was derived from its superior lightness, and the increased facility of changing the hums. Mr. MONCK supported the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the rale of travelling appoiuted fur the mails under Ibis Hill; the lightness and superior cousirucricus of the carriage rendered it so much more manageable than the heavy coaches in use, that it might reasonably be expected to travel at the increased rale of expedition, without any such lacrosse of isk or danger as the Huu. and Learned Geotleasaa seemed to apprehend. Mr. T. WILSON opposed the Hill. He thought it ex tremely objectionable, that while laws were in existe•ce tor punish furious driving, a Bill should be passed to compel drivers to conduct which exposed them to the. palmlike of those laws. On the ground of the expellee of the aseature also, be shoald vole for the Amendment. Mr.NrAERE thought the ucw carriages might perhaps with safety travel at au accelerated pace; bat it appeared I. him, that Mr. Burgess, the projector, was attempting too much. Sir if. DE CRESPIGNY opposed the Bill on account of the additional cruelty to the cattle employed, to which it would give rise. Mr. BEN ETT, from the knowledge he possessed of the power of horses, would undertake to say, that travelling at the rate of (levels miles an hour was nut an excessive degree of labour for them to be put to. Mr. HARBORD opposed the Bill on three grounds: int. that of inhumanity to the animals—secondly, that of its ex. perm—and thirdly, that of the increased danger to the lives and limbs of his Majesty's subjects from furious driving. Sir J. MARJORIBANKS hope) She be extended to Scullion!. Mr. F. PALM ER lead no objection to this measure as cute of e=pe►itweal, if it were to be untleriaken at the risk aus ripener of any individual, and nut at that of the public. Sir F.

The following is a copy of the Address moved on Thursday night by Mr. Wilberforce. in the House of Commons, and adonted hy the House : Resolved, " That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, repreaenting that treat numbers of Africans, rescued from sl by seizure and condemnation of the ships and vessels in which they were italawfully carried is slaves, have keen apprenticed, tinder his Majesty's authority, pursuant to She Arts matte for abolishing the Slave Trade, is many dif ferent ialsods and colonies in the West ladies, for 'terms of apprenticeship which have in a treat number of cases ex. pired, or are near expiring; and many other African 'cap tives, so enfranch4ed, have been enlisted into his Majesty's military and naval services, mid have been afterwards dis tharged therefrom, in the said Wands and colonies." "Thai, from the prevalence of negro slavery in the said islands and colonies, anal from other local circumstances, as well as from 11w ignorance of the said eufreachiaed African captives. for whose education means have not hitherto been provided, they are esposed to various danger* anti sufferings, being also, tut some eases, removed froth one British island or colony to-another, and ate themfurt no longer within the ob. Pervasion, ur the official authority of the proteetimg officer of the colony in which they are apprenticed, nor does the pea lecting authority of such officers over the said apprentices extend beyond the terms of apprenticeship." "That under these circumstances it appears to this Howse to he expedient and necessary, that proper measures should be taken by his Majesty's Government for ascertaining in all the said islands and colonies the present mumhers, names, situations. and eirenmstanees of all Africans liberated from slavery by force of the Acts of Parliament fur abolishing the Slave Trade, and which have at any time been apprenticed, or entered or enlisted into his Majesty's sea or land service, anal afterwards discharged is the West ladies, or which have been liberated there, without barium bees so appro. tired, entered, or enlisted; and fur imparting to all sit •la of the said apprentices, whose terms of apprenticeship have ex pired, and all Africans an discharged from his Mairsik . a service, such protection, and inch remedies and relief, as their situation may require: and that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to take such measures as shall appear adviseablc fur the future disposal and settlement of tie said Africans." LONDON BRIDGE. The Repert of thr Committee of the House of Commons 011 London Bridge concludes as fol lows : "After attentively considering all the evidence, your Committee are decidedly of opinion that the present eon. struction of London Bridge causes great impediment to the navigation of the River Thames, and is very injurious to the interests of the owners of the vessels which navigate She river, by occasioning frequent damage t• the Craft, and the lose of many lives. "That it app ars to your Committee, that the only rare. teal remedy which can he applied to remove all the incon veniences sad obstructions now existing, is by tie entire removal of the present Brid:e, with she starlings and water works, ■nd the erecting a new Bridge, with not mine than Ave Arches. " That it appears to your Committee, that, considering the local interests counected with the approaches to the present Bridge, a new Bridge should be erected un the preset'', site, or as near as possible to the same. "That it appears to your Committee, that the City of London hold in trust certain large estates, which were left to and have otherwise become vested in them, fur the pur. pose of sustaining London Bridge. That the yearly rental of such estates, subject to certain charges made thereon by Acts of Parliament, and otherwise, sail to expenses of ma augment, the particulars of which will appear in the evi dence of Mr. Robert Finch Newman. the Bridge House Comptroller, now avowal to upwards of sa,sant , and which. upon falling in of leases, will be gradually increased. That the Trustees also possess stock and cash, of the present value of 112,0001., and which sum is applicable to the same purpose. " Your Committee further state, that in the tomtit of the funds applicable to the proposed works proving insufficient, which they have no moos to believe will be the ease, they are of opinion, that adequate mesas of raising the money may be found, without imposing a toll on passengers pastas over the Bridge. " That your Committee recommend that • Bill be brought into Parliament early in the next Santis., for carry ing into effect their Report; and they also farther recom mend that the notices required by the standing orders of the House, preparatory to the execution of such a plan as may ilually be approved of, ought to be given by the City Re nsembrancer previous to the next Session of Parliament, in order that the work, if sanctioned by Parliament, may pro ceed without delay."

THE BRITISH PRESS: LONDON, SATURDAY, JuNs 30, 1821. The Duke of Cuinemce's Annuity Bill lave night passed through the Committee in the House of Commons, and was ordered to be reported this day. The Bill, therefore, will be read the thud time on Monday. In the Committee the objection was renewed respecting the grant of the arrears to hiv Highness, and on this point the Com mittee divided. The numbers in favour of grant. jug the arrears were 54, while those who opposed it were only 34. During the discussion of this mat ter some remarks incidentally arose respecting the approaching coronation, and Mr. CREEYEY desired to learn whether any arrangements had been made, or were intended to be made, for enabling the QUEEN to share the honours of this august cere mony. To this question, however, the Ministers did not think it necessary to make any reply, but they expressed the liveliest indignation at the levity and indifference with which some Members of the Opposition had spoken about the coronation. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY grew warm upon this topic. and ventured to accuse the Opposition in Parliament of inflaming the public mind upon every occasion, without reference to the consequences. We were not aware that the Noble Marquis was dis posed to recognise in the Opposition so great an in. fluence over the public mind as he now admits them to possess, but if he enjoys the solid advantages of governing at his pleasure the votes of the ma jority in the House of Commons, he may concede to his rivals the unsubstantial honour of being able to influence the tnajutity of the people. The public, we are convinced, must be well pleased that Mr. WHITBREAD has undertaken to collect the opinion of the House of Connuous on Tuesday next respecting the new Association that has so unwarrantably assumed the title of •a tutioual." It must not, however, be overlooked, that there are many Members of the [louse of Com mons who are also subscribers to this Association ; with these Members, therefore, the question of the expediency and policy of such a Society is already determined, and so far as their votes extend Mr. WHITBREAD'S motion will not be submitted to an impartial tribunal. The Court of King's Bench, in the pure ■nd unsullied dispensation of justice. bias declared that no subscriber to this Assocertidu shall sit upon a Jury empsimelled to try say per / son who may be charged by indictineut preferred nr~- .~ ;. .~....~e a .•
