prison. There were but 13 cells in New:tate, and there were 47 persons under sentence of death— that was three to each cell. Alluding to the fifteen infamous persons sent from Clerkenweli, he con sidered that proceeding the fault of the Magis trates. He lamented, he said, the progress of a crime so infamous in its nature, and so disgraceful to the country, and he was, he said, sorry to ob serve, that since the abolition of the pillory, this crime has been found to increase iu a very alarming degree. - - - - - CASE OF T/IE HON. WYNDHAM HENRY WYNDFIANI QUIN. Sir R. Wtt.sory moved the Order of the Day for hearing the matter of complaint against Mr. W. Qutw, at the Bar of the House. Ile then moved " That Mr. George Mansell be called in." Mr. Alansell immediately attended. Ile ap peared to be very ill. The SPE AKER—" Is the witness sio indisposed as to render it inconveniela to lion to stand ?"-- A. " I urn very ill imbed, Sir." A chair was immediately procured for the wit ness—who, in answer to questions put to hint by Sir B. Wihstisr, stated that 1w was at the head of the chief banking establishment of the City of Limerick—that he was father-in-law to the l'eti• boner—and a relation to Mr. W. Quin. Ile sea proceeding to answer rertmui iiiterroge tories with respect to conversations he had held with Mr. C. Smyth, in October last, relative to the propoeition of Mr. Quin—when Mr. COURTEN AY rose and objected to such evi dence. Ile could not imagine that a detail of cmi versiotione between the witness; and Mr. C. Smyth, reapecting emennuoications he had had with * third person could be received. fir It. Wtasots said, his object in calling the witness was, in the first place, to corroborate the Foal 'talent of Mr. C. Sonyth —and next, to shew to the House, that direction' were given to the lat ter Gentlemen, as to the manner to which lie was to regulate hi. conduct towards Mr. W. Quin. The examination was darn proceeded in, and the witness wire succemively interrogated by Colonel Barry, Mr. V. Blake. Sir James Mat.kintosh, Mr. Conrtesoly, and Mr. C. H. Hutchinson. Igo the course of the ezatioluation, a short discus sion aria not a point of evidence, when Mr. M. A. TATI.OII took the opportunity of stat. tug his decided conviction. that, notes the House adhered to the plain rode of evidence, as acted upon in Courts ufJustice, they would get into a rituatiou of extreme difficulty. He Mel seen incouveuiences arising f the adoption of an opposite coarse, and Gentlemen must often have felt them. With re spect to the idea, that, at the Bar of the Noose of COllllllOll%, or in a Committee, airy testimony might be given that bore on the question, however widely it deviated from the true rule of evidence, it would prove most erroneous; mid. such a Ime of proceedieg, they would at leolgth find, instead of enabling Mein to forret a sound judgment, wo u ld, in fact. embarrass and petiole: than. Ile wool.' now casiteitil, as he had always dome, that the caner law of evidence that prevailed its Courts ..f Justice, should prevail in that House. The law of evidence was founded on commit') sense, and the further they deviated from it s tire more they would depart from Ike real sineetion. Mr. 'I manse otally diwented front this doc trine. Every question brought before that House must stand on its own peculiar merits, and could not be governed by the rules of evidence which existed elsewhere. At the close of the examination of Mr. Mansell— Mr. S. WoicretY said, it would be proper for bias to observe, in addition to what lie had last eight said, with respect to pultlisliiiig the minutes of evidence, that they were now in progress to he printed fur the use of Members. It was possible, if tlwy were printed, a sheet or two at a time, that individuals might conceive they had a right to publish that part which they had access to. But, as these minutes were printed for the use of Meiiitorre —and as the justice of the case required that tio formal publication should be allowed, till the eroceeding was completed—he apprehended, that tlw House would consider the publication of any part of the evidence. though olVially printed. to be equally a breach of the privileges of the House. as if no such of f icial prirdiug lied taken place. Oil the motion of Sir R. Wiasow, Mr. Daniel Gabbett was called in and examined. He stated that he was a Solicitor, of Limerick. and was occasionally employed as the law split of Mr. W. Quin. The rumination of this witness lasted *hove so hour and a half. Mr: Richard Srnith was next examined. %'heu hie examination hail been concluded, a rertaiii part of his testimony, us nut bearing on the busters, be fore the Home, was expunged at the desire of Mr. Peel. A Member (we believe Mr. HUMS) then sug gested wlwther the publication of any part of the minutes of evidence. ordered to he expunged be fore or after the official publication by order of the Howie. would not be considered as matter in breach of privilege. The SPRAIN' observed, that there could not be a question on it. It was undoubtedly a breach of pnwlege for any individual to print any thing whatever that occurred there. without the permis sion of the Hoare. Mr. WYNN said it was a breach of privilege to reprint even those parts of the proceedings which were published for the use of Members only, though they got into the hands of other persons, notwithstanding such things were in general over looked. But it was always competent to a Mem ber to prevent the publication of particular matter, by annuuncieg his intention to refer it to the con eideration of the House. Mr. Carew Smyth and Mr. Goold were re-exa mined, and after the examinution concluded, in consequence of some conflicting points in the tes timony of these Gentlemen, the House deemed it necessary to make an order for the attendance of three persons from Ireland, namely, the comehinan of Mr. Gook!, arid a man and woman servent, the former of whom is, mid the latter has recently been, in the service of Mr. Sakti. A conversation then ensued as to further adjourn meld of the question, when, alter several .iirscrva -ens hum different Membersi the further inve:!l gation of the subject was adjourned to Monday next. CATHOLIC tIUESTTON. Mr. GUAM N postponed, until the 27th of April, his motion for the repeal of the Penal Laws affecting the Roman Catholics. HUSBANDRY HORSES. Mr. I.WHINGTON moved, that the !louse should go into a Committee on the Hosbindry Horses Bill. Mr. LASItTON obNetved. that the Bill was of a 'very important description, and ought not to be pressed through. the House at so bete an boor. He understood it was intruded to propose some emetic'. mends in it, and perhaps they would call forth ob. servation. Mr. LUSHINGTON said the Bill would not have been brought forward at that late hour, if any pro visions were intended to be introduced to which objection was likely to be made. In fact, the new clauses were clauses of relief, not of additional burden. As the measure had been postponed for five nights, in consequence of the pressure of other business, he hoped it would be suffered to proceed now. Nfr. S. WoaTLF.y observed, that one of the re gulations, intended now: to be proposed, was, " that all mines which shall have been used in husbandry, and shall be kept for the sole purpose of breeding, shall he %%holly exempt from duty." He con- eeived, that mares kept on farms, inertly for pur chase, as a farmer would keep his sheep or ()sett, ought to be equally exempt from the tax. Mr. Pater observed, that undoubtedly the new clauses constituted an Ninelioratims of the former Bill. But many persons were of opinion. that the entire tax might he removed—and, he conceived, it would be very proper to appoint a Committee to consider thtt important question. Mr. BROGDEN said, Gentlemen would observe, that, in bringing up the Report, they might debate the merits of the several new clanses, founded on the resolutions of the Committee, which hail been presented on a former evening. After some further observations from Mr. W. Wsicsat, Mr. S. WORTLEY, and Mr. I,Amotos4 who wished the Bill, with the new clauses, to be printed, the Bill went through the Col 1111 l ittee—the Report was received, and ordered to be taken Had further consideration on Monday next. MARINE MUTINY BILL Sir GEORGE ‘1" ARR LN DLit moved that the House do resolve itself into a Committee on the above I Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM, on account of the extreme lateness of the hour (past two o'clock), objected to the turmoil. Sir G. W A 'MENDER 1,11 0 1 surprised at this oppo sition, since there was nothing new in the Bill— 'milling Ili the slightest degree objectionable. Mr. BROUGHAU said, if the Hon. Baronet could state a good reason fur pressing the measure, if he could show either that the Session was drawing near to its close, or that the public service would be in any way injured by postponiug the Committee—he would willingly withdraw his opposition. Nothing was further bum his intention than a captious opposition. Sir J. WARRENDER remarked, that the Army Mwiny Bill had One through a Committee, and now stood for a Report. In this state of things, it wauld be exceedingly inconvenient if the Marine Mutiny Bill did not also go forward. Sir J. NEWPORT strongly protested against the bringing forward measures of such importaixe, at that early hour in the morning. lie was very much inclined to move that the House be coward. Sir G. WAttnEsamet—The Honourable Baronet certainly had it m his power to retard any business which might he brought forward this night. But, he asked the Honourable Baronet, when he had an opportunity of making his (Omer , valiant in another stage of the Bill, whether he would come forward and insist on stopping its pro gress now ? They were now arrived at the 13th of March—the existing Bill would expire oil the 3Gth —so that they could get the Bill through the two Holton s and have the Royal Assent given to it in time. W h en such were the true circumstances of the case, surely the Hon. Baronet would not per- beVele ? The !louse then went into a Committee on the Bill. It passed through without oppositMn.—lte port on Monday next. MILITARY MUTINY RILL. Lo d PALsieasTots moved that the Report of the Military Mutiny Bill be brought up. Mr. LAMiII'ON and Mr. BROUGHAM opposed the motion. They called on the Noble Lord to state some sufficient reason fur bringing furwaid the Re port at that hour. Lord PALMERSTON defended the course lie was pursuing, on the ground that the period to which the existing Mutiny Bill extended had nearly expired. Lord ALTHORP inquired, whether it was not as necessary to have the Navy Mutiny pamied at a certain period, as the Military Mutiny Bill ? (He was answered in the allirmatiee.)—“ Then," said he, " as you are now a stage in advance of the Navy Mutiny Bill, you are quite sale. Wily do you wish to advance the Military Mutiny Bill so unnecessarily forward ?" Sir J. NEWPORT again protested against bring ing important measures forward at so late au Vim. The fact was, Ministers motioned to ilo this with impunity, by ell iiii t igly resting the blame on Par liamentary Committees, instead of taking the re sponsibility OR themselves, as in Cid, they ought to do. After some Obsertattolot from Lord PALMER STON, who defended tins proceeding as absolutely nece►sary, ou account of the shortness of time to which the present Bill extended; and Mr. LAMB TON, who deprecated the carrying measures of importance through a (louse when there scarcely appeared twenty Members, the Report was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to lie read the third time ou Monday. BRITISH PLANTATION WOOL BILL. Mr. LUSHINGTON, in rising to put od the Corn inittee on the above Bill, observed that the lion. Gentleman (Mr. Lanabtoii) might perceive that he, at least, was determined nut to bring forward tiny important measure at it late hour. The Hum Gridletnati could not, therelore, attribute to him , his It swing been kept up so We. •Al r. LAMBTON —" Flue I lout. Gentleman and his friends may bring forward any rutaaure they please. They 'inlet easily perceive, however tiresome they be, that I am net one who all femme froth my post. If there he good cause fur h t, here will I remain till silt o'clock in the morning. And here I am sure I will remain, every alight, during the Session, until the House rises. Vigilance ii, per haps, the best quality of a Member of Par liament." The kw Members who remained on the Opposi tion ride of the House heartily cheered the reply of Mr. Lamloon. At HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK the house adjourned. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. I PARIS PAPERS.

LONDON, SA TUMMY, MARCH 13, 1819. We have received Paris Papers of Tuesday last, An article from Frankfurt states, that a demand has been made before the Germanic Diet of a cettaits sum of money due to per suns in this country, who had lent several millions of livres to the Cardinal de Rouali to pay fur the celebrated diamorid necklace which had et one time excited the attention of all Europe, as involving in no small degree the moral character of the unfortunate Queen MARIE A mit s Erre,. The lands then mortgaged fur the payment of this debt have, in the revolutions of mates, now f a llen into the hands of the Grand Duke of BADEN, who, however, refuses to acknowledge the justice of the demand, and withholds payment. The noose of Commons proceeded last night in the investigation of the charge against the Ilan. WYNDHAM Quilt. The [louse was crowded as on the preceding iiight, and evinced the same anxious attention to the deposition of the witnesses. The injunction against publishing any part of such statements at the bar as relate in anywise to the merits of the case under consideration, was again enforced last night, with, if possible, an increased solemnity ; for those retrial ks re specting the illegality of such publications, which un the previous night proceeded only from a private Member, were repeated last night by the SPEAKER. The witnesses examined were— Mr. MANSELL, a bunker in the city of Limericks father-in-law to the Petitioner, Mr. CRADY, and a relative of Mr. QUIN—Mr. GARRETT, Mr. RICKARD SMITII. and Mr. CAREW SMYTH, who was aptitt called in, and re-examined with great precision with reference to his statement pf the pre ceding night. Mr. GRADY, Jun. was last night ordered into the custody of the tierjeaut at Anne of the House of Commons, for having insulted Mr. COOED in the witnesseo-rount, and thieatesting to kick Inin.

Amongst the distinguished arrivals in London on Thurs day, out yet announced, is a greet conqueror from the West, the champion of Ireland, and no less a person than Dam Donnelly, who beat Geo. Cooper, eats of the most scieneed and best pugilists of the present day. Donnelly left Ms whiskey crib in Capel-street, Dublin, on a sparring tour in Lancashire with Carter, and they have been en lucky, that Donnelly determined on a trip to the metropolis, to see a bit of the manners, and the striding yualiicatiuus of the Londoners. He arrived at Burn's (the capering' where the pugilist* of the day now assemble) accompanied by Carter, ea Thurs day night, by which Carter woo a bet of Ave guineas. He proceeded direct from Manchester. la the course of yester day Carter introduced the new comer to the Coingiander-ta- Chief of the milling forces, Rad to all the fighting houses, Belcher's excepted, and where Carter, Randall, Martin, and other stars in the pugilistic hemisphere, don't now (request. He was also introduced to his phenomenon countryman Randall, who swallowed wine with him and other Getatk- NMI at Burn's yesterday, until, like other great characters they could scarcely blink. Donnelly is come to fight, spar, or to du any thing elm required of him, except to p back to Paddy's land, until be ►aa profited by town sum. neer, and for that purpose, he will conessence sparring with Carter, on Monday ; and his powers and science will be ex hibited before those who can tip, bat be will not wadi. tote his fame to those who are so vulgar as to be without bustle. lle is a fine-looking man, between 30 and 40, and, as one of his profession observed, be was sure be was a Duddy by his mug. He stands six feet, is well ribbed up, and fears no mortal fifth alive. The crowds to see bias at Burn's beggar all description, and, like a gallant country man of his, he is affable and coudescending. Martin has .hewn himself a pedestrian, as well as a pu gilist, of no mean rate. He run the celebrated Chicken butcher half a nude on the Brixton road on Thursday, and won by two or three yards. It was fur 111 guineas aside, and the pugilist received 15 yards at starting. The men rail in the middle of the road, and the Chicken.batcber gained more nt first than towards the end. He, however, is said to tic au accommodating man. The odds un Hickman against Crawley, on the Jett on Tuesday next, 16 miles from London, remains at 6 to 4 on Hickman. The whole of the money (100 pineas a side) between Carter and Spring, to fight on the same day as Randall and Marlin (May 4; . , will be made good on the Ist of April. 2tol on Carter. . _ _ The amateurs at Norwich have raised a handsome sub. scriptiou purse fur Purcell and Walkeley, to fight for on the Ist of April. Purcell is the favourite. Burn has a promising man uew to the ring, who will fight any body. lie is 14 stone, hits away with both hands quick and hard with gloves, and if be possesses a moderate share of glittlooy, the championship is easily accessible. Nothing of interest occurred yesterday in the Vice-Chancellor's Court. The great distress felt by the inhabitants of the Scilly Islands has called forth the active benevo lence of the British public. But there are some times better modes of relief, than by giving money. We have received a letter from Mr. G. E. SMITH, of Regent Terrace, Penzance, which states, "that a letter had just reached him front the island of St. Mary, Scilly, sa)irig that many of the females of those distressed islands can plait straw very well, and are desirous of forwarding to him samples of their work, with the prices annexed." We wil lingly communicate this circumstance, in the hope it may be thr means of obtaining employment for those females, which is, after all, the wisest bene volence that can be exercised. The mercantile world suffered a severe shock out Thursday mor snug, in the failure of the very eminent house of J. BA ItA DEN and Co. The outstanding debts and acceptances fall little short, it is said, of 200,000/. This calamity has been principally brought on by the decliniug state of the markets, the house holding large quantities of clover seed, cotton. and tallow, the whole of which articles have under rue a very great depreciation.
