Mr. BEN NM rose to bring forward his propoh motion respecting the Police of the Metropolis. lie hoped the measure he had in view would put a period to the system so much reprobated of alluring the unfortunate to crime, and betraying them for blood money; he trusted it would lead to a reform io the conduct of the subordinate Police officers: there could scarcely be a difference of opinion on the necessity for such reform. But there was another subject to which he wished now to advert, to attract the attention of the (louse. and the coun try at large ; he meant the rigorously severe treat ment exercised in transporting prisoners from one gaol to another. lie was acquainted with an iu stance in which a girl of very tender years was. in such cireumssances, most heavily ironed ; and with another, in which a woman from Carlisle, he believed, the mother of many children, but cer tainly with an infant at her breast, had beet' ironed to another an. The subject was of extreme importance, whether with a view to morals or hu manity, and he trusted the House would have tio objection to the appointment of a Committee to examine the system. lie, therefore, moved, ‘• That a Select Committee he uppinted to inquire into the state of the Police of the Metropolis, and report their observations thereon to the Muse." The motion was agreed to, and the Committee appointed. ------ MHIS EVEN ING, FRIDAY. April 1O "rift be acted, a , sew Tragedy, called 'FAZIO. Oldie or Florence, Sir.Ezerton; Gommlen. Mr. T.

Chappk, CHRIST CHURCH, SURREY, April 9, ISIS. AT a VESTRY holden as above, pursuant to sootier, to take into further consideration two Rills now pending in Parliament—the one " For the Regulation of Parish Vestries," the other " For the Amendment of the Laws for the Relief of the Poor ;* JOSEPH HARItISS, Esq. Churchwarden, in the Chair: the Vestry Clerk read the said two Bills, clause by clause, and the same having beta severally taken into eunsiileration, the following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to, ♦is. 'Tat the Bill now before Psrlianient, eniitleil" A Bill fur the Regokstion of Parish Vestries," is consiilereil by this Vestry an anenustitutiensl attempt to infringe on the rights of every parishioner paying rates, and is calculated in its operations to produce jealousy, discontent, and litigation; and, at the same time, to obstruct the privileges of the best informed and most useful climes in parish affairs. That giving a plurality of votes to those rated at 1001. and upwards, is likely to create parochial monopoly and certatu discontent; to take the poor out of Ike hands of their natural guardians, and place thin ender the direction of those who, not nufrespicutly, consider themselves of tut) much consequence to do their ditties in parish Committees, ur attend to the minutia of parish affairs. That a 404. vote being deemed in law snlfieient to return a Knight of the Shire to serve in Parliament, this Vestry deem it a matter of coustitntional right, sanctioned by the law of the land, that every hums keeper paying parish rates should be eulitled to au equal voice in the distribistiou thereof. That until it can be proved that wealth confers an in crease of intellectual endowment in propurtiou to its accu mulation, the attempt to establish such a principle in Eng land must be considered its an insult to our understandings, and appears calculated to bring into practice, in this free country, principles which are only acted upon in despotic Shies. That the Bill now before Pat fitment, entitled " A Bill for the Anieuilment of the Laws fur the Relief of the Pour," embraces scarcely any thing useful that is nut already adopted by this and other parishes; and that Select Yes. tries, smiler any form, which nisy prevent a parishioner train being a party in mein himself, are considered oppres sive and iiimeireerary. That this Vestry wool.' cheerfully adopt any measures the Legislature thought likely to improve the Poor Laws ge sweetly ; but, at the same time, feel satisiiril, that no partial Migration to au opelent few can have any desirable effect on the object, to be relieved, or in any shape tend to lightest the hurdlers of parochical mistime. That a Petition Via forthwith presented to the House of Conimous 'pima the said Bills, praying that the same may out NMI r 1414 a law. 'Clot the Members of the County of Surrey be respect fnlly requested to present the said Petition, and support the objects thereof. That Copies thereof be also seat to the Member, of the Cities of Loudon and Westminster, and the Rannoch of Southwark, and that they be respectfully requested to sup port the objet is elm:rest That the Thanks of this Vestry be given to Mr. Mercer and Mr. Ball, for the trouble they have taken its bringiug toroari the foregoing Resolution.. That the locerseili Resolution. be advertised in Toe BRITISH PRESS, The Times, Morning Chronicle, and Morn ing AMertiser Newspapers. That the Theuks of this Vestry by given to the Chairman. for his lib:: aul impartial conduct in the Chair this day. J. G. MEYNOTT, Vestry Clerk. Lord Congas presented Vetitions against the Leather Tax, front the Tanners, Currier.. and Con sumers of Leather, in Catitri bury and Bromley. Lord HOLLAND presented similar Petitions from York, Nottingham, and King's Lynn, in Norfolk. He stated, that he had purposed to present these Petitions to the House on Monday hist, but had unfortunately arrived at the House about two mi nutes too late. In consequence of a recent deci sion in another place, it might be thought unnecea. vary now to offer the Petitions to their Lordships; but he thought it expedient that they should lie on the table, for the purpose of showing the senti ments entertained by the people of the exceavive taxation with which they are burdeoed, and their sense of this oppressive tax in particular. He trusted they would be borne in mind by those who would be called on to vote large sums of money fir expensive establishments, and purposes compare• Lively useless—for ostentetiossi monuments—or ►ven the proposed building of new churches on an expensive scale. They who, in the present circum stances of the country, thought proper to red - wend such expenses, ought to be provided with strong arguments in favour of them. The ammonia of this odious and oppressive USX was not greater than the charge incurred by the pageant of an es tablishment at Windsor, which afforded no grati fication to any one, and war neither serviceable our honourable to the country. The Petitions were theta severally read, ■nd laid on the table. JURY COURTS IN SCOTLAND. The Marquis of I..mssunwe gave notice that he would to-morrow move an Address to the Throne, praying, that the Reports from the Jury Court of Scotland thwart be laid before their Lordships. It was strange that these Reports had not long since been laid before the House, as being the Supreme Court of Judicature in the Realm, and principally bound to take cognizance of such matters. He did not anticipate any opposition to his motion, but as he could not make it, without at the same time advancing some observations, he thought it tit to give notice of his intentions. ROYAL NUPTIALS. The Earl of Itygneour.—As the motions which he was about to submit to their Lordships were usual on the occasions of marriages in the Royal Family, and were merely congratulatory to the Prince Regent, the Queen, and the Illustrious Individual inure immediately concerned, he should not take up their Lordships tiine by making any comments upon the event. Ile could anticipate no opposition to the motions. He could not, however, avoid remarking on the satisfaction every one must feel at the union of her Royal Highness the Prin cess Elisabeth with a Prince of a most illustrious family, himself besting a high military reputation, and evincing, during the lute war, the must distin guished talents in the profession to which he had attached himself. The Nuhle Lord then moved. That an Address be presented on the part of their Lord ships to his Royal Highness the Panes Regent, congratulat ing him ton the marriage of her Royal Highness the Primers. Elisabeth, daughter to his Majesty, with his Aerate High ness the Prince of Hems Rumbourg.—Agreed to. Similar Addresses were thou mused to her Majesty mud to leer Royal Ileghues► the Pieueess of Hesse Ilniubourg. Lord Hut (without rising) supposed that the,e it:dimes were regulated b;. the precedeote. ROYAL NUFTIA LS. Lo►d CASTLEILEAGU 111 rising . , pursuant to HO tice, to move an Address on the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth, was sure the House would be animated by one sentiment of pleasure and alacrity in °florin their congratulations on the nuptials of the illustrious Princess with a character so exalted as the Prince of Hesse flonthourg. He had been a soldier all his life ; lie had fought and acquitted himself with perfect bravery and gallantry; be sides, to add to the felicitous circumstances, the illustrious parties had bud u perfect knowledge of each other, which afforded r fair prospect of do mestic happineu. The Noble Lord concluded by movitig— " Thu Ibis House do present an Inviable Address to his Royal Highness the Planer Regent, to offer their dutiful eougratulations on the &swim's of her Royal Highuess the P. hams Elizabeth with his Serene Higlsuess the Hereditary Pa hire of Hesse Id hourg." . . The motion ww. :tgrrkti to, and the Address or dered to be present' in the usual eat•. Lord CASTLEREAGH then moved similar Ad dresses of congratulation to her Majesty and her Royal Highness the Princess Elizabeth, which were agreed to, and ordered to be presented. A Message from the Lords announced, that their Lordships had agreed to several Private Bills. Lord CASTLEREAGH brought up a Bill to carry into effect the Treaty with the King of Spain, for the further abolition of the Slave Trade; which was read a first time, ordered for a second reading on Monday next, and to be printed. TAXATION -CAPP. BRETON. Mr. BEN tarrr understood tbat;cOnsiderable correspondence had taken place between his Ma jesty's Government and certain Local Authorities of Cape Breton, respecting the right of certain persons in that country to he exempted from taxa tion. He wished to ask, whether it was the inten tion of Administration to hriog the correspondence under the knowledge of the !louse ? Mr. LUSPIDtGTON could only N:ly that .ome time since a certain Court there did take upon it to grant some exemptions. Meavures had been taken at home, and %ere now in progress, to examine the validity of their ileeree—but the affair was in each • state that it could not be submitted to the [louse at present. Mr. BENNETT, as we understood him, said he would take an oppnctiiiiity some clay next week to bring the business owlet the view of the Ilouse. After some rettiirlo loin Mr. Hi..rtsux, the second reading of the Mock Auction Bill was de ferred till Tuesday. The Privately Stealing (Ireland) Bill pawed through a Cominitt , -e, and the Itcrort ordered to be received to-morrow. RESTRICTION OF CASII PAYMENTS-PRIVATE BANKi. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to introduce his siteu.are for the contionance of the Bank of England Restriction, and regulations fog the security of ►he public as to private bank notes. lir had postponed the consideration of the quest . to as late a paned as possible, becalm he hail hoped it might perhaps in the entiase of tier Session hr sheerte, that the Bank inlaid, without wilily to the country, he allowed to resume ita sorb pay ments set the eitoirat:On of the present Maar:won Act ; bat. however giro Ins regret might bet he felt himself bon nd to asthma it to tier noose, that under present circtematancei It w e ;. nut couststent with the preaperity of the eotititry to permit such restimptioit.

Then there was every appene= once of a continue:wee lie the fall, and a lets hope of resumption if the ptace wont(' last. That hope wits overthrown by the retinal of Bonaparte, lend of hostilities—from that erred gold, which had got down to 4/. Gs. 6d., rose quickly to 5/. 74. It was therefore !teen that good policy reqdtired a continu ance of the Restriction. In 1816, when peace had been a second time restored, it was funnel that any measures to prevent the exportatinti of the precious metals would have beeti as unavailing as during the war ; the Restriction lead been in consequence re vived, with a deliberate resolietitin that in the course of two years cash paymeists should be resumed. After that time the Bank had been seriously and • vigorously employed its preparations for that event. lie January, 1817, they had besides mode an ea..

The Mink wished to retain it ; as it sleight be a convenience to the country, and proposed to remit gold in lieu of it. The suece , s of the fist experiment induced the trial of another. in O'tober last notice hail bents issued that the Batik was ready to pay ell notes in specie issued previous to 1817. finder that regulation, indeed!, a shape++ sition did appear to olitnin gold in excleutige for notes, insomuch that 4,600,000/. had !teen paid its specie by the Batik, and it was notorious that at this moment scarcely any of that large slim remains ed in circulation. He ildw felt it his duty to cull the atte,etiou of the Flonae to the circumstanced shut brought about the present state of thieve, state which rendered a return to cash traytnents precarious and hazardous in the extreme. The brit of these was a deficient harvest its 1816, and that of last year not being better than ordinary, causing a great importation of corn, mid vaporise lion of specie. The second was the great number of absentees drawing much of the wraith of the country to be expended in other countries.
