Loici Hawke and Lord Alvanley spoke on the claim of the Chandos Peerage ; after which the Lora Chancellor moved, that the further hearing be ad jounieu to next Thursday se'nnight, when. he said, after further consideration, he meant to deliver his sentiments on the subject. Thirty-six Bills (public and private) received the Royal Assent by Conirnission ; among which *were the Nottingham Police and filedion 8.11, and other public Bilis. Seven Bilis, one of which only was a public one, were broueht up from the Comnirms, Ind presented by Mr. Alexander and others, and read a first time. LUNATICS ESTATES. Lord RADNOR Said a few words on the Luna tics Estates Bill, considthing some a its clauses and provisions,to be unusual, and requiring expla nation. The LORD CHANCELLOR left the woolsack to explain the objeft df the Bill, which was neces sary on this account ! As the law stood, the lease:- hold estates of lunatics could not be sold by their Committees, and he had not the least doubt but that his Noble Friend near hini /Lord Rosslyn) would confirm his experience on this point. Lunatics might he in debt, ant ICommittees might pay their ascertained .iebts out of their personal assets and propene. Lunatics, however, were liable to arrestment, althoegh their Lordships must all see, that to arrest a 1 inatic would be dreadful. If their personal estate was not equal to the discharge of their debts, in that case a creditor might bring one or two actions, and upon two judgments obenned, might seize upon the ht mites estates, which could not he recovered, pre vious to the full discharge of the creditors' just claims, so that lunatics were red.iced to the day. -er of being starved. He himself, in the legal -situation he held, declared, that he believed that within. the last six months he had found himself obliged to de. erece, in cases of lunatics, in favour of the petitioner, which could not hut operate in I cruel spanner. The present Bill, which had been submitted to him, and had his full approbation, was absolutely nicer Silly. The House resolved into a C4:nnnittee, in which the Lunatic Bill passed without aniendinehts ; the India Volunteers Bill passed the Contnittee witnout amendment; and Ship-destroying Offenders' Pu nishment Bill passel the Co:amittee with amend ments. .l A Bill (possibly the Croydon Railing Bill) and the Chequer Police Bill, were read a second time. Lord A LVANLEY moved some amendments in the clause of Lord Ellenbarough's Bill, which were put and agreed to, and the Bill read a tLird time and passed.—AdjGarned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, MAY 17. A message from the Lords requested the attend ance of the Commons to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to the Irish Revenue rill, the Irish Bank Restridion Bill, the Tea and Coffte Drawback Bill, the Inn-keeper's Allowance Bill, the Nottingham Magistrates BM, and a number of Pri vate Bills. Mr. HILLIARD presented a Petition on be half of John Simpson, Mayor of Great Grimsby, praying that he might be brought to the Bar on Wednesday, in order to be discharged. On the motion of the Hon. Member, the Speaker was ordered to issue his warrant accordingly. Mr. I. H. BROWNE moved for a Committee of the whole House, upon the Report of the Committee appointed to consider of the Means of improving the Highlinds of Scotland. The I rouse resulved itself into the said Committee ; thl Resolutions were agreed to, and a Bill founded upon them was or dered to be brought in. Mr. CORY suggested, that the title of the Bill should be left open, in order that such furti.r rep, ii lations as should be deemed necessary, might be en grafted on it. The SPF.AKFR observed, that the purpose of the Hon. Member could not be obtained in tue way .-.:: wished. When the Bill was brough: in on the mo tion, he might move the regulation he was desirous of having obtained. NEGOTIATIoN'WITEI FRANCE. General G ASCOIGNE gave notice, that or. Fri day next he should Move for certain phperg ' %;,zhich, from the statement made yesterd a y by th e Sectc ary of State seemed to him not likely to be proluce.i. He wished for the produaion, not only of _those which were subsequent to, but also those which were anterior to the Treaty of Amiens. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER requested the Hon. Member would state, to what point the papers he alluded to referred. General GASCOIGNE said, he had been in ge neral so distina in his notices of motions, that h. should not now have forlwrn stating the precise oh jed of his present one, if he could have exaalv de fined it. Two or three of the papers he meant to m , ye for, respe3ed Malta : the others related to the Italian Republic. His notice must be a provisional one, for till he saw the papers that were to be laid before Parliament, he could not tell to what extent his motion might be necessary. The SECI=ARY at WAR said, he availed himself of the first opportunity of giving notice, that he should consider it his duty to-morrow to move for leave to bring in a Bill for better providing for the defence of Great Britain and Ireland. The Bill he should propose would be nearly similar to the one which had been introduced last war, only extending its proviiens to Ireland. Mr. WHII'I3/tEAD remarked, that on a former occasion his Majesty's Ministers had given notice that the Papers to be laid before the House were to be relative to the signing the Preliminaries of Peace whit Prato% but yesteiday he had stated, that only
