COLLINS in the Chair; It appeared from the most satisfactory documents, laid before the 51eet Ist. That though the Children belonging to the School, called she Irish Free Schools, have been relieved in fowl and clothing, and some small assistance sent to the parents fruin the monies lately contributed by a liberal public, as appears from the advertisetnent in The Times of February 7—yet as the views of the distributors did out comprelielid the great mass of the Poor, whose children go to the other Charity Schools, or those parents who have wily small children, or the aged and helpless who have no young families, w eery small port only, probably not one-tenth of the poor papilla lien of St.Giles's has participated in that benevolence which the public probably imagined was extended to all. 2.11 y. Th.it all the reports of the Gentlemen who had en. gaged to visit the Poor in their habitations concur in prov ing that distress and misery, of which nothing short of ocu lar inspection can convey any idea, still exist with all their complication of sufferings iu these abodes of wretchedness; that want of employment bas cut off the means of procuring food; that to satisfy, the cravings of hunger, many have Parini with both bedding and clothing; that cold and want of nourishment have been frequently followed by di and instances have occurred of sick persons, and sometimes whole families, sleeping on the bare boards, or on a few rags, or a little straw, with tm other covering than a piece of old sacking. One instance of this kind of a poor woman lying in a corner eta room, on a few raga, with scarcely any covering, who was within • ley slays of her confinement; another of • widow and five young children sleeping on a little straw, which might be pressed into a hat, with only one small worn-oat blanket, full of boles, to cover them—one of her children, • boy of seven, had been compelled to remain un this miserable bed fur three weeks, being destitute of clothes, every article of his dress, even his shirt, having been suld or pawned. Resolved therefore, That • subscription be entered into for the pnrpose of distributing at least the necessaries of life, among the suffering Poor of St. Giles's generally, so that some who are real objects, shall be precluded from par ticipating in the distribution. Subscript 1111 l s will be received by the Rev. Dr. Collins, Southall Park, Middlesex; Messrs. Wright and Co. Bankers, ileurietta-street, Covent-garden; Edward Jerningham, 13, Bolton-row, Rerkeley.siptare ,• Rev. J. Russell, 9, Wind mill-street, opposite the Percy Chapel; M. L.

Confiding in the assistance of the Public, the Committee has already commenced distributing bread, oatmeal, her rings, and potatoes. The indefatigable seal of the Visitors had enabled them personally to inspect 1,060 poor families, tiring in the centre of St. Giles's. From them the most dia. teemed cases were selected, and on Tnesday, the 15th, and Friday, the 18th inst. near 7,10 of these article of loud were distributed. It will, however, be desirable cuusiderahly to extend the distribution, as numbers were necessarily ex cluded, and several districts are yet to be explored. The cases selected for relief are open to the inspection of the Public, at the Committee-Roan, No. 13, Camte.alreet, Bloomsbury, any Moulin between 'twelve and TWO. PAPERS. Mr. Rippon, from the Bank of England, brought up certain Papers relative to the reduction of the National Debt, to the sth of January.— Laid on the table. PRIVATE BILLS. _ Mr. Houblon brought up two Private Bills from the House of Cumtnuas. w¢kh were read a first time. • INSOLVENT DEBTORS. Lord AUCKLAND presented a Petition from the Prisoners confined for debt in the King's Bench prison, praying that the existing Act for the relief of Insolvent Debtors, which was to expire imme diately, might be re-enacted. The Noble Lord said lie was anxious that the prayer of the Peti tioners should be complied with, in order to pre vent greater inconveniences. He at the same time gave notice, that iii the next Parliament he should move for a Committee of the House on the law of debtor and creditor.—The Petition was read and laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a petition from the debtors confined in the Borough Gaol of Liverpool, and another from the debtors confined in the Fleet Prison, both praying for • renewal of the same Act. The Noble Lord observed, that iu presenting these petitions he wished to express his hope that their object might he attained ; not cer tainly on account of any admiration he entertained for the Act, for he looked upon it as leading to many inconvenience a, and as requiring considerable amendments: but lie wished that it might bs re enacted for • short period, if for no other reason hut that the mischiefs to which it would constantly give birth might compel the Legislature to enter seriously on the improvement of the law. The House then adjourned. MOOSE OF COMMONS, MOXDAY, FEBIWARY 21. At four o'clock the SPRAILER took the Chair. Twenty-five Members took the oaths. Lord MoaPETH brought up to the bar aud read the answer of the Duchess of Kent to the Vote of Condolence entered into by the House. This being the last day for the receiving and considering private Bills and Reports, a number of them were brought up and passed through their respective stages. Mr. %Ir itA - lAms withdrew hitt motion, notice of winch stood for to-day, until to-morrow. Colonel DAVIES brought up it Petition from stindry Union Societies, praying for the repeal of the 59th Gro. 111, being an Act passed for their regulation, to which the Petitioners stated several objections.—Ordered to lie on the table. DROITB OF THE CROWN AND OF THE A DM IRA LTY. Mr. BROUGHAII—It would be in the recollection of the House, that he had, at a past period, asked for the production of !Dome papers, respecting the Droits of the Admiralty, and other sources of mire nue blliinging to the Crown, with a view to see how far it might be practicable to bring such resources under the control of the Parliament, and in what degree they might be made applicable to the neces sities of the country. The papers were at the tune refused by Mr. Perceval, then Prime Minister, be cause of the inconvenience of allowing them, on the one hand, and their uselessness, if produced, 011 the other ; and indeed he was willing to allow, that, ut the time when Mr. Percevul refused them, there was far less necessity fur their being produced than at present. The subject was one of great importance even at that time, but its importance had tot:reused iu a very great degree now ; .that the time was come when, even according to Mr. Perceval's own acknowledgment, the period had arrived in which it became necessary to consider and newly arrange those fluids. There were from the Droits of tae Crown rod these of the Admiralty, the produce West India dory, mid that of the Sc.nch revenue, very considerable stains left at the &avowal of the Crown which were not subjected to the inspectiou and control of the Parliament. The House would see how isnot:tomtit it woo to examine into these re sources, which would be converted, except the House interfered, into so many immense sources of patronage and influence, contrary to the spirit of the Constitution. and the regulations and inten tions of the HOOP., in allowing the Crown hitherto the use of them. It became peculiarly expedient to look into this subject too, at the time in which the Civil List was •bout to he formed anew, and when its abuses or defects, what ever they might be, ought of course to undergo imprneement. Now it had been urged by Der. , Perceval, that as there was at that time as errastge ntent between Parliament and his late Majesty, which had been made for some time previous, the House onght not to break in on its conditions, during the life of hie Majesty. At the mine time 111 r. Perceval had allowed that on the demise of the Crown, the Droits of the Crown and the Admiralty, together with all sources of revenue collected for the use of the Crown, not being sub ject to the revision or control of Parliament, ought to be submitted to the direction of the House, and ■ !imminent alteration could with more perfect propriety he then determined upon. From all sides it had been agreed that the funds in question ought in be put on a better footing than they stood at present. They certainly should be placed on a more constitutional footing thou they now were. He did not mean to deny that these Imola had been in a very substantial degree under the control of the House, though they were not in legal form. They had frequently been exercised as a subject of discufsion, and, as he thought, nothing could prove the general feeling of the improper manner of appropriating them as • general source of revenue, than the turnishiug from time to time, ■s had beets done, accounts of the receipts and application of those funds. The time was now arrived, in which, according to the pro- mises and opinions of Mr. Perceval himself, and the general understanding which had prevailed at the time of his (Mr. Brougham's) moving for the pa pers which was in every respect proper for their pro duction, and in which the subjects of their contents ought to undergo investigation, and a thorough change be effected iu the appropriation of their proceeds. He therefore moved. That an bumble Address be presented to his Majesty, praying that be would be graciously pleased to give order*, that there be laid before the House accounts of the total produce of all Droits and Duties left at present at the dis poni of the Crown, and not subject to the inspection or con trol of Parliament, since his Majrsty's accession; distill. guisbiog the different proceeds of Droits of the Crows, Droll• of tier Admiralty, 4i per Cent. of West India Duties, and Scotch Revenue." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not going to object to the production of the papers. At the seine time, he saw no reason for complaint as to any thing which had been done respecting the funds in question hitherto. The House had always received the most satisfactory information upon the subject whenever any anxiety had been 'hewn, nor had the application of those resources ever been the subject of regular complaint. He should agree to the Honourable and Learned Geo tleman's motion, as he considered it a very proper method of bringing together a dijointed aud scat tered series of SCCOUIIiP e He could not then say how far he might be able to go into the Honourable and Learned Gentleman's ulterior views respecting those funds. Mr. BROUGHAM said, the House would perceive that his motive in asking for the papers, arose from his having taken the same view of the subject as the Right Hun. Gentleman. He was as anx►ous as any Member to use the utmost decorum in going to the discussion of any topic relative to the immunities of the Crown. With this feeling strongly impres. sing his mind, he had considered that it would be by far the most disrespectful manner of proceeding. to delay, even for a single day n,nre than could not be avoided, to bring the subject before the consideration of the House. As to the conduct of Ministers in times past, In relation to this subject, he had before acknowledged that the accounts had hardly ever been refused, and that the funds were before substantially, though not legally, in a con siderable degree under the control of the House. The papers were ordered. Mr. Baas Ere presented a Petition from the luhabitanits of the Island of Cape Breton, the pur port of which we could not distinctly learn. Mr. ABERCROMBY presented a Petition from certain Debtors confined at Liverpool, praying for the continuance of the ln►olvent Debtors' Act. LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. Mr. SCARLET? moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Local Jurisdictions Bill. He anticipated no objection to the Bill. Its object was to enable Magistrates of towns or places where there are no Assizes held, in cases rifcapital offences, to commit to county gaols, wit before they were only able to commit such offenders to the dui trita gaols, and from thence put theta on their trials at the Quarter Sessions before their burl cum• mitntent to the gaol of the county. A Membe► from the Ministerial side, whose name we could not learn, rose to express his sense of con currence iu the Him. and Learned Gentleman's measure. He was anxious to rugment, io some de. gree, the powers to be intrusted to the local Ma gistrates, and offered some disuse for that purpose, the substance of which we could nut gather. Mr. ScmtLure. in reply, observed, that the pro posed clause had, perhaps, better be offered as an amendment in the Committee. For his own part, be had confined the objects of his Bill to topics of necessary alteration, and remedies such es were ge nerally acknowledged to be indispensable, in order u mach as possible to prevent lueo of time by dis cession. The Hon. Member, indeed, seemed to be mistaken about the object of his Bill, .h. 4 was not intended, in any of its provision,. fur the regulation of county gaols, bat only to enable Magistrates of towns ,and places where there were no assizes held, to commit to county gaols, in cues of capital felony, sod to direct the expenses of witnesses and prosecutions fur such CliScil to be levied upon the town or place where oh, offew might happen to be committed. Ile wos afraid that the new clause offered by the Honour:4l4;e Member, would provoke the discussion which it had neeu his study to avoid. The Bill was then read a second time. The House resolved itself into • Committee, througo which it passed alter some verbal siner4o7.3eiiis. Sir J. MACKINTOSH. Chairmen of the Common -4-, brought up the Report. The Bill, with ill' acise-mi- Menlo, was then ordered to be engrossed, ail.l read elhird time so-morrow. Mr. Paulson presented a Petition frwn the Maltsters, Brewers, and Distiller. i.f the rood.? of Stirling. in Scotland. complaining of the ritic: of the new Malt Tax passed iu the last The House, perhaps, were not aware that tl:e mobsters of Scotland had la fore that period pant an inferior duty to the Etiglesh molesters, accord ing to • special ierovision of a former Act. Ti had been done away by be Act of I set 5e1,..., without eny reason alleged, and sithurit .is lime being allowed to the Scotch multstets to 1,11 , 50rl against the abolition of the distinction they enjoyed. This privilege had been allowed them to put the Scotch ministers ou n footing with thos e i i ' England, which they would not be if the sao, duty were exacted from each, the Scotch barley being en much inferior in growth and produce to the English grain. On there accounts lie Ina) el with the petitioner., that the House would pay some respect to the complaint of the petitioners. The Petition was brought up. On the motion that it do lie on the table, Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON said lie 'could not but admire the forbearauce of his Hon. Friend iii bringing up the Petition. Considering the effects which h had _reit produced on the intorrbts of those persons oho were in any say concerned with malt by the Act of last Session, it was difficult to speak in very deliberate and mild terms respecting it. Such had been the distressing results of that Ac:, that not only the brewer., molesters, and distillers, but even the agriculturists, were very seriously in jured. The House would perhaps hod some diffi culty in believing it, but it was no leas true that the tax at present exceeded the whole price of the article itself. The House must see that the cons'. deration of such a subject could not be put off with any degree of propriety. He therefore earnestlY hoped that the prayer of the petitioners might b e . attended to, their complaint speedily discussed, and. if possible, the cause of it be rein..ved. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEIOU La would not object to inquiry when the subject shoul.l be brought more regularly and fully before the House. At present he would only express his doubts as to the general inferiority of Scotch barley. Doubt. less there were some bad samplesof barley its Scot land as well as in England, but he could out in the absence of direct proof help questioning the general inferiority of Scotch barley. The Petition was ordered to be printed. DARTMOOR FOREST. Mr. Alderman WOOD said, that he had given notice of a motion fur making some use of the forest and waste lands of Dartmoor. Ilse motion contemplated in the plan which was to have been proposed, a considerable relief to the oppressive. ness of the pauper system. He had learnt thst there was a plan now in agitation. which hail arised iu a higher quarter. for maim( some use of none lands; and although from what lie inidtr,tovel, the pima in question was very inferior to the ex 4. ni of its application, yet us its object was of a sitiniir nature to his own, he felt it necessary to withdraw his motion, and to give the other preference. it being likely, from the quarter in which it twailutecl, to be attended with more success. SEIZURE OF ARMS. Sir R. WILSON wished to know from a Right Hon. Gentleman opposite if any arms had been seized under the Act for enabling the civil audio. rities to search for them. He wished al.o to know in what districts, if soy, they had bees taken. and what quantities. if any. had been taken by oight mud by day severally. Mr. B. BATHURST made some reply. the ' , figwort of which we understood to br, that Goveri.inent 4.41 SS yet tio such returns. IRISH EXCHEQUER BILIS. The CHANCRLLON of the Exchrou moved for an account of the outstanding k.:%ctit quer Bills which are unprovided for. Mr. LUSHINOTON brought up the account, which was ordered to be referred to a Committee of Supply. MUTINY ACT. Lord PALMERSTON rose to snore fir a prolonga tion of the provisions of this Bill.
