The Earl of LIMERICK rose, for the purpose of complaining of the conduct of a Right Rev.

Prelate cote ned of his (Lord Limerick) not having assented to a ~eines for the erection of a church, in a parish in which be lug considerable influence. The Noble Earl defended himself against a charge, which, he thought, had not been fairly brought forward in his absence. Lord GOAT vindicated the course pursued by the Right Rev. Prelate. The Karl of LIMERICK explained. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to order, and said, that it was his duty to the question. .whetlitr the petition presented by the Noble Etude, should be referred to a Committee. The Earl of A NLEY thought the petition should be re ferred ; and ouse would grant certain pipers, relative to the Church which be had before moved for.

WODEHOUSE postponed his motion for a Select Com modes, relative to the removal of the Spring Assizes from Thet hed m Norwich, until Monday. Mr. HUME rose to present a petition from s person of the name of Sadler, complaining that certain Magistrates had with held a licence from him. He stated, that on the decision whether or not he should have his licence, there were eight to eight votes, and the Chairman gave the casting vote against him. He (Mr. Hume) felt it his duty to oiler it to the House ; it was properly worded, and he did not see any objection to receiving it. Mr. WYNN suggested that the better way would be for the pe titioner to apply for satisfaction to the law. The SOLIUITOR-GENERAL said, if such a precedent were Id , there would he no end to applications to the House. rr! d liUME said, that he did think there was something out of ceder in the petition, but he thought it his duty to bring it before the House. He would, however, withdraw it. The petition was withdrawn. Mr. FOWELL BUXTON moved the Order of the Day for receiving the Report of the Marine Insurance Bill. Mr. ROBERTSON hoped the Hon. GenUeman would not press It inward at the present moment ; it was expected het *ht. Mr. BUXTON said, that if the Hon.

Mr. Aldentwa WOOD bepedt Helios. Gentlentan (Mr. F. Buxton) would, for the present, withdraw the Report. It was un derstood that it was to come on on Monday.

For a considerable time after our re-admission to the gallery, the noise of strangers entering prevented us from hearing the pro. endings. Mr. HUM E was on his legs ingesting the propriety of post_ poring the consideration to Monday next, of the American Trade The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that under the present law, the tea trade in Canada could only be carried on through this country. It was a notorious fact that the United States did supply Coned' with tea, by means of smuggling. If there were say way of accomplishing the object without a breach of faith with the Podia Company, be, for one, would willingly con sent to it. Mr. ELLICE entreated his Eon. Friend(Mr. Mime) to with draw his opposition to the motion, and allow it to go through the House. Mr. BRIGHT wished the debate tote adjourned, because he, as well as many others, had not bad an opportunity of considering the subject. Mr. C. W. WYNN °alerted, that discompiny already per" sewed, by their charter, the sole and exclusive right of trading he. tween the empire of China anti every part of the British dominions. The single question was, whether they should exercise that right in the way most beneficial to the colonies. At present the Canadians had to pay a double freight. Whatever might be the opinion of the lion. Member for Bristol, the Bill was not considered as ad vantageous by the Company. Mr. Hl; ME, in explanation, contended that the Company was bound by its charter to carry tea to Canada ; and if it had failed to perform that part of its contract, the Canadians ought to be allowed to supply themselves. The Bill was then read a third time, agyi passed. EAST INIEII4II ROUSE, %halt 10, 1824.

LANCASTER COUNTY COURTS BILL On the motion of Mr. be LH .ETT, the Lancaster County Courts Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday next. ANEW DICTIONARY, ITALIAN and ENGLISH, ENGLISH and ITALIAN. In two volumes Bvo. By Mr. S. E. PETRONJ and Mr. J. DAVENPORT, Is just published. The that volume alone contains upwards of fifteen thousand words mom than the corresponding part of Baretti's Dictionary, which, although professedly compiled from that of the Della Crusca, does not contain all the words found even in that Vocabulary. This imperfection was rendered still more serious, by the subsequent appearance of the copious Dictionary of Alberti, which included several thousand words more than any other lexicographical work of the Italian language. The meagre ness and poverty of Ilaretti's compilation thus became so apparent, that nothing but the want of a superior work of the kind could have ensured it so large a *here of public patronage. In the Dictionary now published by Mr. Petronj, will be found, not only all the word* contained in the Della Cruse' and Alberti, with their equi valents In French and English, but also many new ones of recent introduction into the language, together with the philologiral re marks of Monti, one of the tuobt celebrated Italian critics. Mr. P. also for the first time, has marked the exact pronunciation of every Italian word, the irregularities of verbs, the doubtful plurals of nouns, he. Mr. Davenport has rendered the 2d volume, which also contains many thousand words more than are to be found in Bsretti, particularly useful to Foreigner, by marking the accentuation of every English word, and by the addition of a Synopsis of English Grammar, founded upon the principles of the best modern Gram marians. An impartial public will readily perceive and appreciate the decided superiority of the present work over its predecessor, and the great advantages which it agiads to all who arc desirous of per fecting themselves in the harmonious language of Italy.

The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the prayer of the peti tion, as it belonged to the Crown alone to appoint the places where ' assizes should be held. The petition was ordered to be printed. GAME LAWS.
