Ile could trot hove believed, when is measure was pro voked to do away the right of the subject, that it would have been attempted to be crammed down their throats by such a Bill, which was admitted must go to a Committee to be made The Noble Baron then read over the preamble of thi Bill, sod contended, that it was without mean ing, and consisted of nothing but absurdities that could not be countenanced by their Lordships. It fisid been stated, that the Bill was to prevent delay in coiniug to trial, but it did riot say a word of ti!e delays of the cx ggicto informations. At the Pine of the Revolution, it was settled that prosecii tors in common informatious should give security to go to trial ; but the Attoritcy-General entered 1020 sin recognizance', at the same tone he was at rterty to bring an ex qiieio iliformaziou against ebery person that published,. and to let it hang er his head for his lifetime. Ile was not ra:end to take it fur granted, because a man e!leil the situation of Attorney-General, that f.e was immaculate, and could not (lo wrong. Ile would undertake to say that there were forty pro/Aerations at the present time by ex-yficioinfer wilatiews hanging over per.mis, some of which origi. tuned ten years hack. It appeared to him that all his Majesty's Ministers tried for was to enfeeble the people—and did Dot, although they might 'oppose it, strengthen the Crows,. Olt three coissidera. Roos he gave his decided opposition to the Bill. Lord LlLFolto said lie supported the Bill, on t!.e .:found that it was intended, with the other weasures. for the suppression of arbitrary violence. The Bill was then read a second time, and ur eic to be committed nil TUts(Loy. SEARCH FOR ARMS BILL Their Lordships, on the mut of Viscount Sto. resolved themselves into a Committee on Those Bill. The Earl of DARN try moved, as an amend ;atm, that the clause 111 the Bill ruthoriziaig the Ch for arms in the 'sight time should be omitted. Hr moved this on the ground that if a pervon's hue was attacked 113 the night for the purpose of, -ea.( hang for arms, stud its inhabitants, not k iug tilr cause of attack, defended themselver, said a ! it a.:sa lost by the attacking party, as the Ball now •:uud the inhabitants of the house would be guilty murder, although it was committed in &truce 1.1 a heir property. •i•he Earl of IltiestwToN said, he objected to I!.e provisions of the Bill bring extended to Ire iat:d, as it was acknowledged by all parties that t!iiit country was in a quiet state. Viscount SIDMoUTii said, if the Noble Earl who had just sat down had taken the trouble of rending the 8011, he would hod that at did not ex— read to Ireland s and that there were only certain a•osioties in England named, with power to the Executive to extend its provisions to other counties, nu * representation that they were in a disturbed awe: but suppose It:timid was in that unfortunate slate, he could see no realm) why the provisions of the Bill should not he extended to that country. lie could not agree to the amendment of the Noble Lord, as it would tend to make die Bill defective, far where u warrant was granted on ititormation that persons were in possession of arms for un lawful purposes, it might be impossible to secure them at any other time than in the night. rhe Duke of SUSSEX strongly censured the clavve of the B:II authorising the seizing of arms by Inglit. For himself lie did not wish to say any tart:•g that could inflame the public mind, but if I.e were disturbed from his peaceful ►lumber in the li•vt boor of his repose, he would consider those d,•±urhers as thieves, and prepare for his defence. The Bad of BLESINTON said a few words in _ Lord LIVERPOOL explained at some length the nature of the douse for seising weapon*, pikes, pike-heads, &c. &c.; haying these arms were to be u;remed prima facie proof of an intention to use C•rtri fur improper purposes, therefore they might Le seized without proof. But other weapons, such ft: guns, pietols; &c. could nut be seized without 4.- 1.11E1,00u being made on oath that they were in t-pded for improper purposes before they could be se Ord. Lord ERSKINE condemned the clause; all that WAS required by the clause was the belief of the in— humer that the arms were intended fur improper p,,.poaes. without Eating the grounds or causes of I,is belief. As for an appeal to the Quarter See -1.11/114, the expenses of that appeal iu most emits rr•rght exceed the value or the arms seized. For usrn part. lie wou!'l at anon live in Constantino hl: —sootier that) hve in a cutintry where the laws avoid not be made better, he would prefer living ho a country where the laws could nut be made "runt.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for the Douse te,olstug Itself into • Committee of Ways and Means, fur the pur pose of proposing the animal duties on land and malt. Mr. KENNEDY wished to take that opportunity of putting to the Right lion.Gentlemaii a ques tion ou this subject. For a number of y ears the duties on malt in the siorthern parts of the island had not been so heavy Hs in England, but, by an:Act of last July, thu•e duties were equal herd in all purls of the island. This torasuie had been found extremely severe in its opetation on persona engaged in the legal noutulactute of wh s. key, and had moreover acted as a great temptation to illicit distillation. He was destrits, therefore, to learn whether it was in the contemplation of his Majesty's Mini to continue the last Act, or to renew to those parts of the country the indulgence they had constantly enjoyed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUfin said, that share the last meeting of Parliament scvertl Pe. lions had been received at the Treasury front the places affected by the Act, complaining of the alters. lion in the duties. Throe had been placed in toe hands of the Board of Excise, for the purpose of enabling it to form a judgment on their allegations, after making the proper inquiries.
