DUTY ON COALS. Colonel TALBOT presented a petition from the mouniseterees of Dublin, praying for a repeal of the duty on coals.

In Scotland a immolation of coils was admitted free of duty; but in Trebled they were not only subject to imperial duties, but to great local sod co►poraate charges. A commodity which was of such general us inning manufacturers being so highly taxed threw great imped.. menu in the way of manufacturers, and he coukl assure Minister, nothing would move contribute to increase the revenue( and males the Government popular, than the repeal of those duties.

Mr. Seattery CANNING having moved for certain Memkors to attend hhu to the Lords, to bald a conference with their Lo , •- alsipst in the Painted Chamber, the House rutintirned pro Ofr Mr. t :ohning's return the-0 ~ resumed, wit( n 11r. CALCHAFT present a petition from John Wins t .Alan Shillibear. marine officers, who have entered into holy 00, . He said there were two hull-pay lists of marines, one the wait:ark half-par list, a nd the other the permanent half.pay list, from tall:. the appointments were usually made. The petitioners were 'Am..: upon the latter establishment, and being anxious to enter it : • more active life, and having received an education to t. them for such a station, they had entered into holy orders. He considered that the case of the individuals whose petition he had presented was one of great hardship, because they were an.' permanent half-pay, from which they had noreason tosuppose they, would be called _ upon to serve. The marines akin, to which the petitioners had belonged, were assimilated more to the army awe to the navy, inasmuch as their commissions were signed by the King ; they also had rank in the army, but nono in the navy ; their widows, also, neelved their pensions from the army fund, and net from that of the navy. His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, in the execution of the office which he held, and which he did with so much honour to himself and service to the country, made a re. gulation from the 24th of June, 1824, that no person on half-pay taking holy, enlers, should be entered on the half-pay list ; but that regulation did not take a retrospective effect ; and did not air ex post facto, as the regulations of the Admiralty did upon the pt.' thinners. He therefore hoped that the cases of the petitioners being analogous to that of the army, they would be put on di same ruining as the army, and be restored to the permanent half-pay. On the question that the petition should lie on the table, Sir G. COCKBURN rose, and said he considered it necessary to offer a few observations to the House on the subject of the peti tion. Atregarded Mr. Witta, one of the petitioners, he had kept it a secret from the Admiralty altogether that he was in holy or ders. Mr. Shillibear, the other petitioner, when the Admiralty had to call on all half-pay officers for their ages, and other par timbre, in reference to the regulations which had been adopted es regard to the general subject of half-pay and pensions, stated it in be his intention to take holy orders. It was a singular fact. tle...t when in 18 . 22 a circular was sent to all officers, inquiring if they wtre in holy orders, the return was nil, which would appear by the return itself on the table of the House ; and therefore it could not be conceived that any officer had taken holy orders, and yet refused to tell the Admiralty that he had so done. With regard to the observation of the Hon. Gent. (Mr. ealcraft) that the Marines were a part of the army and not of the navy, he must Say that'he totally disagreed. The marine officers were wider the con. trol of the Admiralty precisely as the navy were ; they ob. tained leave of absence from the Admiralty ; they could not go abroad without the consent of the Admiralty, and were subject to the regulations of the Admiralty in every instance ; and there fore itscould not be maintained that they were a part of the array. If a held officer of marines was called from half to full pay, and appointed to a division, he instantly became subject to the control of the Admiralty. and the Admiralty alone. The petitioners had taken holyprtiers under circumstances that induced the Admiralty to consider that they had forfeited their half -pay, weer . * pan,. wrltwlegwlasieh•Mwa app4ieap• *sir-ease ; drat pereisti". hann- - been made in conjunction with a regulation introduced into the army at the same period, the object of which was to assimilate both, services upon a general principle, as far as possibly could be d.n., and that regulation took place in June 1624. He (Sir George Cockburn) could not honestly say that the petitioners were en titled to half-pay but he could assure the House he was the last man in the world who would wish to prevent any person or per. sons from having that which was their right; but his opinion was. that the petitioners could not remain on half-pay, having taken holy orders. Mr. WARRE said that with regard to the case of one of the ttitioners, he concurred entirely with the observations of his Hon. petition froth Greenwich. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presentg el ii e tions against slavery front the following places : —From Trom the principal inhabitants of the county of Oxford ; 4 frail the town of Romney. Lord CA LTHORPE presented similar paitiofis from Birming ham, and from Thbury, in' Wiltshire. The Doke of GLOUCESTER rose to present several petitions which were intrusted to him by a large_portlan of the popolatioo of seort,..The fret which-Isis Royal ilfaihniwo mei present was ed by sericar.rwo thousand parsons. sod prayed for the atpli. lion of slavery. The petitioners expressed their sentiments inAbe MOO respectful manner, and from theieWspectability and num berrl were entitled to great weight with their Lordships. His Royal Highnesit expressed his hope that the Resolutions lately pissed by the other House of Parliament would have the desired effect upon the colonists ; but if in another year conciliatory mea sures were found unavailing, he hoped coercive measures would be used to bring them to a sense of their duty. His Royal High nesssaid he had another petition, which he felt great pride in sup. porting, as it came from the university of Csmbridge, in which he held a high office. His Royal Highness then presented similar petitions from Buckingham, from the city of Aberdeen, from the borough of Montrose, and from a parish in Aberdeenshire. CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMONS. Mr. Secretary Canning and other Members ofithe'Commons ap peared at the Bar to request a confirehce with their Lordships upon a matter deeply connected with Ihr 31ajesty's colonies in the West Indies. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved that their Lordships agree to the request of the Commons, which was agreed to, and The LORD CHANCELLOR announced to the Members of the House of Commons, that their Lordships had agreed to the request, and would meet the Commons immediately in the Painted Chamber.

Hisltoyal Highness then read the resolution, which was passed by the House of Commons on Thursday night, on the motion of Mr. Wilmot Horton. Earl BA'f HURST moved that their Lordships concur in the resolution, which was agreed to. SOUTH AMERICAN TREATIES' BILL. FORT OF LONDON, Feb. V), 1326.

The Earl of Shaftesbury presented a petition from Chipping Norton, in Oxfordshire, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord KING presented a petition from Manchester signed by 42,000 persons, praying the repeal of the Corn Laws. His Lord ship observed that the petition was against that most gigantic of jobs the Corn Laws. It was signed by 42,000 persons, and would have been signed by 20,000 more were it not for the expense which such an addition of names would incur. The petitioners were principally tradesmen, and all were of the working classes. His Lordship believed that upon the lasers of that question elepended the character of their Lordships with the country. It had beer stated, in the ptesence of their Lordships, that the Corn Laws were entirely for the benefit of the community, but a very different doctrine was held out of doors ; and when the subject should come to lie discussed, he would venture to predict that their Lordships) could not succeed so far upon public credulity as to make it believed that the Corn Laws were not entirely for the benefit of the landlords. It would be difficult to persuade the poor that it would be to their advantage to give a high price for bread, and when the Noble Earl who charged him with making little harangues would conic to debate that question, he would hod that the theory of dear bread would be found as fal lacious as many other theories coming from ti.e same quarter. It was a doctrine that could not be sustained, because it was founded in injustice. His Lordship would recommend the petition to the perusal of their Lordships; though coming from workmen and weavers he thought it well worth the attention of landlords and le gislators. The Earl of GROSVENOR, on the part of the Earl of Derby, presented a petition from Blackburn, in Lancashire. signed by 13,000 persons, against the Corn Laws. The Earl of Grosvenor thought it right to say that his Noble Friend. for whom he had presented the petition, had not made up his mind on the subject. His Lordship then presented similar petitions which the Earl of Derby had forwarded to him from Bingley, from Colne, and from Barrowford, all in Lancashire. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented a similar petition from Uurbel►, in Lanarkshire. BANK IN SCOTLAND. Lord 3IELVILLE presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh against any alteration in the Banking System of Scotland. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a similar petition from the Burgesses, Magistrates, and other Inhabitants of Inverary ; and another to the same effect from the Nobility, Gentry, and prin cipal Inhabitants of Forlarshire.

PENITENTIARY AT MILBANK. Mr. Hall brought up a Report from the Committee of the Peni tentiary at Milbank.--Ordered to be printed. LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD. General GASCOYNE presented a petition from the Portugal sad &mill merchants of Liverpool, in favour of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad ; and similar petitions from the inhabitants at large, and from the West IndiaMerchants' Association of the same place. LIVERPOOL AND BIRMINGHAM CANAL. Sir G. CHET tr YND presented tour separate petitions from the Rev. James Tomkinsou, Mr. Skerrot, and others, praying to be heard against the preamble of the Liverpool and Birmingham Canal Bill. _ On the presentation of this petition, The SPEAKER said that he feared what he had pointed out as the practice relative to the prayer of such petitions as that before the House had not been clearly understood. lie did not say that petitioners might not be heard against the preamble of a private Bill, if it contained any statement of facts in which the interests of the petitioners were concerned, but that they could not be heard against the principle of the Bill. if the petition was referred to the Committee, with directions to inquire into the truth of any allege- Aiwa stated in the Bill, the Committee had no discretion, but must hear the facts. They had a right to call the petitioners to give evi dence as to those facts, as fully and as often as they pleased ; but the petitioners had no right to claim being heard relative to any part of the Bill in which they had not an interest, and unless it had been made compulsory upon the Committee to enter into their examination by the express directions of the House. General OAKOYNE said that great inconvenience arose from petitioners belig heard in such instances. Much time was con. sullied in getting through the details of such evidence, and there were many cases i n which there was delay of several ays to pro- cure evidence to disprove the facts which had been previously brought under the consideration of the Committee ; and when the great expense incurred in forwarding those petitions was taken into account, be thought it would be admitted that the practice yes unadeisable, and attended with much inconvenience. The SPEAKER said that unless the petitioners had an interest in the facts contained in the preamble, they bad no right to be heard before the Committee. The practice in that view was per fectly analogous to that observed with respect to the clauses of a Bill, against which the petitioners could not be heard unless they i had an interest irfthetr. Mr. S. WORTLEY having acquieseed in the observations of the Speaker, and expressed his approbation of hie view of the practiee, the petition was referred to a Committee. DUTY OF MEMBERS TO PRESENT PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. S. WORTLEY, on presenting the Donegan Iliad Bill, said that though he did not agree in the exwftws7 of t h e Bill he roomed the petition. The parties interne!, spin his stating his obleedons, said that they oansidersilit his essay to present the whatever might be bis bowman es to its merits. be ailL we Wielder it sal ere) ems thi the attention or tbe Hesse, yet be bed pawed It, but abeeld be sled se behe from petitioners, ne s Friend the Member for Wareham (Mr. Caleraft), that the rep lotion had acted retrospectively with reference to Mr. Shi llibeur, for in answer to a question from the Paymaster of 31arines in the year lfta, he had stated that he was then an assistant curate int holy orders; and he had fully considered himself entitled to take holy orders under the Act of 56 Geo. 3, chap. 60. The Ho u. Gentleman said, upon the merits of the case, he trusted the Ad. miralty would place the petitioners upon the same footing with the army, which he considered would be doing only an act of justice. Sir G. CLERK said that nothing could - induce the Admiralty to do an act of hardship but a sense of public justice. He could not at all agree with the opinion expressed by the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. CaWaft) that the marines were part of the army, and hot of the navy, seeing that they were wholly tinder the direction of the Admiralty. The regulation which deprived The petitioners of their half-pay was a general one, and though it was said to be extremely hard that they should be struck off the half-pay list, it would hare been an act of injustice to others to have kept them on. With re. specs to the observation of the Hon. Member for Taunton (,Jr. Warre), there had several discussions taken place on the sub ject when the Army and Navy Estimates for former years were bv tore the House. In July, 18'23, when the account was required from all officers, as to their age and other particulars, in order that the value of the annuity for their lives might be calculated, one of the petitioners had stated that he was on .the point of taking holy orders, and therefore he had not taken orders at that time. Bete. was an obvious intention of keeping the Admiralty in ignorance o: the fact of taking holy orders by one individual, which only trans. Tired from the circumstance of a letter addressed by him to the Paymaster of Marines being opened by . mistake at the Admiralty. If the House should think an act of injustice had been done, or that a case of individual hardship had been made out, it of course remained with the House to afford such measures for relief as seemed proper under the circumstances of the case. Sir C. COLE said that he had advocated the cause of one of the petitioners on a former night, and he was bound to say that Mr. Shillibear considered, when he went on permanent half.pay, that he was not to be called on again for active service. Ile recollected that the lion. Member for Liverpool ((den Gascoyne) introduced a measure for the increase of half-pay to subaltern officers, and he could not but consider it peculiarly hard that, having retired on permanent half-pay and taken holy orders, that half-pay should he taken away, small in amount it was true, not exceed ing tiOL a year, but a sum to be of sufficient consequence when th..! individual might have entered into domestic arrangements in fall supposition that it would be continued to him. Alr.Shillibeat was an inhabitant of the county which he (Sir C. Cole) had the honour to represent, and he knew him to be a highly deserving person ; oe had met with a severe injury in consequence of doing a meritoriou s act, which he was sure would be fully appreciated by the Gall:tit: Admiral (Sir G. Cockburn), which incapacitated him from further service. He therefore trusted his case would be reconsidered Loy the Admiralty. Sir F. BLAKE supported the petition. Sir C. LONG said that officers of Marines were certainly not a part of the army. The object of the regulations which had lawn alluded to were to put both.services as far as possible on the same footing. It was found that there were many officers of the army in holy orders receiving half-pay. A regulation had been come to in consequence, that in future no officer in the army should be al lowed to take holy orders, and that those that had taken them previously to the regulation should sell their commissions. Sir. CALCRAir said that after the very candid manner in which the Lords of the Admiralty had met the question, he should say no mote on the subject; and he should leave the matter in their hands, hoping something would be done by them for the pett tioners. Ordered to lie on the table. CORN LAWS. Mr. CI TRTEIS presented • petition from the owner+ and ce-u --piers of land in the neighbourhood of Northiam, against any al teration in the Corn Laws. On the motion that the petition should be brought up, Lord MILTON said that he would take leave to call the atter tioa or the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Curteis) to a motion of hi+ tfo nourable Friend (Mr. Home) which stood for that evening. och was to oppose the motion for the Speaker's leaving the Chair AM the Ordnance Estimates, and he called upon him to give bis vont in favour of that motion, as the best means of effecting the object he had in view.
