The pr .yer of the Petition was agreed to. THE QITEENN COUNSEL. Mr. BROUGHAM rose, in pursurtice of the notice he. had given, to request, under the peculiar cir •eomslancer. the COW. the permission for which he had 144 night applied. He then unwed_ 0 That under the ywenliar eiresnistancts of the ease, lease ite ;cern to her Majesty's Attorney-General soil Soli s itur.G. sweet, Metals. es sd that Honor, to plead as Counsel at theliaref the Noose of Lords against a Bill passing their Lee nips' House. amatarially striding to She rights and privileges of the Quern, awl that she varier shall not be drawn into si prverdent w Susie to come, for infringing cm ohm Order of she Hoene which prohibits Members of the Mims. of Csissatims Orem pleading professionally on private Moat Ilse bar of the Went a L4e4s." Lord CASTLEREAGH dill not rise to melte any objection to the motion. The am was one of OW il.Olll importance. and if there were two Members of that House to whom her Majesty might wish to intrust her defence. he could hive no objection to allowing it. At the same time. he could see no rrirson'vihy the same indulgence should not be ex tended to any other professional persons who might Irish to ezert their tricots when called upon iota do. He thought that the King's Attorney mild Solicitur-General were quite as well entitled to the indulgence as the Queen. Officers. The same fa vour ought to he Arvin by the House in support of the Bill as alpinist it. He would therefore move ',Awe au amendment. to the motion. to that effect, ier he would produce a new motion, after that of the Hon. and • Learned Gentleman should be dis posed or. ,Ir. W. WYNK said, that sluice the earliest iir rind of the Jouruals of their-101).e, it had been a asap s. of the House not Si) allow Member. to plead as the bar of the House of Lords on Bills passing C.roligli Parliament. witlonit elptcial lease being g.sei, by the House for the purpose. lii 1604, a sate occurred in which the House had enforced the order ; the Speaker of that time said that he had been called on to mosberr for a similar offence in the reign of Quer', Elisabeth. Front that time to the present the coder had been continued. Indeed it nom he seen that it was impossible fairly to allow, Members to plead prufeloimuilly upon Bills in the Upper House upon which they would untoward. be culled to judge in character of legislators in the Lower Mute. He thought thst the standing order, which only extended to Itlti brought down from the "Lords, should extend to Bills of every description. Tie jealousy from which that blending ender ema nated was most reasonable. It was possible (hr Sled oot bay it would happ.a.) that professional Members of that House might be selected by persons in the * Upper Home to plead on Bills. iii hope of secur ing them in the Committee of the Lower House when the Bills should be sent Joon, and a source of impure patronage might thus be created. The order had beew continued hoot interruption till after he Restoration. when in strong controversy look plaice as to the appl►cability of the standing order in questions of apps 1. The precedents . after that time wire unifortoly against the infringe.. meta of the order. In some instances. the House 'ad relined permission to Minbers applying for such leave. and one Resolution declared that no 'ember could plead without die perinission of the House in cases of appeal. He suggested that it would be better for the wordy, " the seine not to 'be drawn into a precedent," tkc. to stand by them. selves. without stating any cases to which the pro tobition was to emend, because there vow no like. Isbood of any case like the present occurring sgkin ; whereas, if the cases were stated, the present per mission would be liable to be construed into a pre cedent, especially in esses too included its the terror of the prohibition. As to rh. *notion of his Noble `friend, he could not see' ill a there was any thing Mite the same reasons for•ext-ttiting the indulgence . to the Kisig's Attorney and Solicitor-General. The cases were entirely dif f erent.. The parties stood iu dissimilar circumstances. Mr. Boozes concurred with the motion,wislt the abridgment of his Hon. Friend. The motion was then agreed to.

Mrs W. WILLIAMS did not see the same neer.- sit) for granting this leave as the first. Mr. Baomutisse thought the difficulty offer ed by Mr. W. Wynn not quite got over by 'the explanation of the Noble Lord. The Quern could only be represented by the Counsel whom she might choose to appoint. The KIIIV. was much better represented, in a proceeiiiiig by 11111.. by the whole House of Peers. lie would lint oppose the Oumoo, but lie protested against the principle of the Noble Lord's argument drawn from the alleged similarity the cues. Lord CASTLEREAGH 'maintained the equal ne cessity fur allowing the King's professional Advo cates to act to support of. as those of the Queen against the Bill. The motion was agreed to. Dr. LUSIIISOTuII said, that her Majesty the Queen luring been pleated to signify Is.r wishes, that lie should ailsi his profestional terriers to those of, her legal officers, he hail to lag of the House the same indulgence which had been extruded to the Counsel on both sides ; of course lie would hied himself by the sense obligation entered inn' by her Majesty's Officers, not In vote 111,09 the q ues • .

Sir J. MACKINTOSH remarked how siere.oary it was that the Queen should have one Civilian among her Counsel. The bar of the Civil Law was so small. compared with the bar of C Law, the choice was so limited in the former case, that there was more then ordinary reason fur granting the indulgence in this cast.. Mr. W. WYNN thought that there were no special circuinsiances in this case to reipure the in dulgence. The Civil Bar wail small, but there were Professors enough to choose from witliont selecting the Members of that House. The and Learned Gentleman was not of her Msjesty's regular legal advisers. He did not see how such cases could be prevented from being drawil into precedents. Mr. Maxim did not approve of extending the indulgence. He would negative the motion. The motion was agreed to by the House. Mr. BROUGHAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill to Improve the R&M gg i g trifler) of endowments for the education of the poor. MASTERS IN CHANCERY (IRELAND.) Sir J. NEWPORT wished to call the attention of the House to • notice which he would give for to morrow. or else. if the forms of the House would admit of it. to • motion which lie remold then sub mit. The House would recollect that t it sh e p ro . Kress of a Bill for regulating the offices of the Irish Chancery Court a clause had been added. which prevented those who held offices from sitting its Parliament, leaving it to the option of the parries to choose which office they would retain. The clause had been passed by a considerable majority. Under these circumstances he thought it was scarcely decent that the clause should have been commented on, as he found it had been in terms very little respectful, which he would read to the House, from the report of a meeting of the Guild of Merchants in Dublin. He then read extracts from the speeches and resolutions of • meeting of the Guild of Merchants, held at the Shakespeare Grllery, on Thursday last, in the City of Dublin. The extracts were as follow : Dr. Blacker said, that "the Bill now pending in Perlin. mew. a clause of which went to deprive them of their chosen Representative, would be, if not speedily prevented, a wrung of the greatest magnitude ; he had, therefore, been induced to l int together a woks of Resolutions; no doubt some per. suns might stippuee the language ton strong; but lie *timid say in reply to such persona, that their rights were i n fringed upon by the Minister. He would say, that the Minister, Lord Castlereagh, had infringed upon their rights; and he (Lind Chstlereagb) must be 'oh', in thunderiug language, the irrupts he has dared to put on them. as soft language would have nu effect upon him, he (Lord Citallereagh) bar. tug degraded himself by his conduct "--(Loapliter. i The Noble Lord hod one cuusulainiti, t h a t h e was not alone its this abuse.

Lord (7ASTLERSAGII put it to the better consi (Wadi 0000 of the Hon. Baronet if it was desirable to take up such an affair so seriously. As far as he was concerned, lie had no with that the House should iuterfe►e. The very terms used in the dis custom would ►ender it harmless and of tio weight. Perhaps the greatest punishment which could be visited too the parties would he not to notice them. Mr. TAYLOR hoped Ilia the Hon.

MACKINTuSH was ready to throw in his share of forgivenees to the offendere...-(Longhice.) Sir G. HILL wieltrd to say • few words Ins behalf of son►c of the parties implicated, if soy discussion could be allowed. Sir J. NEWPORT withdrew his moti.in, as his ob. ject iii bringing it forward had been fully 'attained. He hoped the 'sorties would not require hint again to notice them, as on any future occasion they might not perhaps get so easily through. Sir Gcoaus MIA. then rose to present the Peti tioii of the Guild on the subject of the clause id question. Whole he defended their opinion tit tile que►tion, be could not coincide in any abuse of his Right Hon. Friends on the floor, whom, indes ter eselreie of his political coolies 1111 l with them, he considered to be souse of the most honourable 'Minted that could possibly exist. Mr. PEEL took this; opportunity, hewing missed it ill the progress of the Bill, of expreesitig hiss re suet that the douse should have passed. He was proceeding to argue on its impolicy, Mr. PLUNKETT spoke to order. The Right Hoo,urattle Gentleman was going into a dis cussion on a Bill which had passed the House. If objection. could be heard against the clause in quras►oo, there must be en equal right to offer ar. g 1111 l ems ill its support, which he would not fail to make use of. The House would theu be involved in discussion on a measure upon which it had already determined. The SPEAKER was of opinion that no disorder had been committed. If the right of petitioning against a Bill which had passed that House were whinnied, as to ally particular parts of it, and of Ibis he thought there could be no doubt, there must be • right of making any observations which might be thought necessary to colorer such a Pe. Mr. PEEL would not detain the House, but would waive his privilege, the right of exercising which lied been decided to his favour. He re gretted that lie heed out bets' present to oppose the clause. Mr. PLVAILETT, in that case, regretted that he had not been present to support the clause. He thought the clause necesa►y for the strict and pure administration of justice. He hoped no occasion would offer requiting his support for it; but if there should, it would not be wanting. Mr. PAEL said, the idea of herisig the Right HUM Gentleman for his opponent. would dimi. uish his regret at not being present at tbe debate. The Petition was laid on the table. AUDIT OFFICE.. P, Mr. ABEaceoataY said, that the only object of his Hon. Friend in bringing forward the motion, was to come to a correct understanding with the Right Hots. Gentleman, as to the commencement of the work, before the senction of Parliament had been obtained. It certainly appeared front the Right Hon. Gentlemen's statement, that the Bars rack Board had acted under the directions of the Treasury, and were therefore to be considered fire of all imputation in the transaction. With regard to the Right Hon. Gentleman's argument, hr (Mr. Aherc ssssss be) thought it eery right that the corps hoer barracks provided for them, but by on mean* so that the Treasury should take on them to autho rise the making of a rontract for 31 years, and at a considereble expense, without having obtained the approthetion of Parliament. Mr. HUSICISSOM satd, that from the year 1899, the barracks iu King-street had been rented from year to year. and it was at the option of either gnarly to break off the contract in any year. The rent to be paid to the contractors for the new b if. racks was 5.4001. the same as the former rent. It would cease at the end of thirty-one years, sail the barracks would become the property of the cows. try; whereas, in soother event, the country would be going on. paying the same sum for thirty-one year., and there would be no public acquisition at the end ; by the arrangement in question, the pub lic would be freed front all encumbrance on this' account iu that space of time. Sir .1. NEWPORT denied the fact that the con tract had been brought under the consideration nI the House as soon as it was possible. Before the House had been hound by a contract for thirty-one years, it should have known why and wherefore it was to he bound. Mr. I'. Wt LSON said that this was not, as had been affirmed, an exchange of one barrack for an other at the 'Ante expense ; lie contended that st Mae a public contract for a grant of a sum of 70,0001. without the comsat of Parlieineot. fie should be the farthest of any in the House to im pute any improper motives to the Right Honour able Gentleman. but he thought that on this occa sion he had acted without his usual judgment or discretion, and laid I self open to the 'oboe-rea ligns which had been made ou his conduct bons the opposite side the House. Lnsd BINNING said, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer hail not beet, treated fairly in the con sideration of this transaction. More h ai l b ees , made of it by Gentlemen opposite than the thing itself would hear. He had been 'PAM jestingly, the other night, had he had any thing to du with the introduction of the contractors. who were comma anthems of his, to the Government ? fir certainly had not, but they lied executed extensive pittolic works at Cli %ham entirely to the ttt;sf.tetions of those who had employed them, sod therefore it was natural they should hove been selected on the pre sent occasion. Mr. BEM DIETT;;;to " move for extracts of the Minutes of Evidence taken before the Com mittee of Finance in 1819 respecting the Audit Office. The Honourable Gentleman expatiated WI the abuses and profuseness of the Audit depart ment, and instanced various particulars which he thought Improper and disicredttable. He concluded by moving for the whole of the evidence taken on the examination of the Audit Department before the Committre of Finance. Mr. D. GLUIEST had on objection, as one of the Committee, to the production of the evidence, if the Host. iMembe► thought it necessary for the pub hc good. But some of the particulars to which he had alluded could not be beneficial to the public interests by !publishing them, and perhaps the de fects of the whole department would be much more effectually, as well as quietly, reformed by the Bill which had been brought in fur the purpose. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he Mr. Motto( Nei& it sititestril to him that so annuity of 70,0001. taking the coostroet at the lowest, was too late a sum to be coutrected rot without the authority of l'Arliatonetti.

Had he not utentioned the subject in the (louse, the »barge would have been brought und e r the consider:l'in.. of Parliament annually. as it had been tar many years past. The contract was a very advantageous one to the public, for at the end of thirty-our yegei the whole property of the building would be yeatod in them i whereas had Government agreed will, the owner of the present barracks at the same resit for thirty -title years, the public would have acquired no right whatever to them at the expiration of that term.

ALIENS REGULATION BILL ai the Order or rite Day tur the third reading of the Alien Keanlaitotis Bill— Mr. notiviousx rose, awl said, he Win quire Itt4l,ithed to s ovietise the measure in the then star of the House, and was sorry to observe nri bolo ih terolance on a measure of such great importance. Although lie kite* the proverbial folly of contend. tug with the flower of tweisty leg ,at the • - $111.• time he hoped to be permitted, with a due sense of lii. own ittaignificaticr, to stair tale or two objections which he had to the flICA.llfr. flie only excuses which had heels stfered for this procedure were, that although we had now ito foreign enemy, yet there was as intertsal foe, against whom this Act was necessary as a guard ; and that although the French Ito/Dilation had gone by, there w i re certain seeds stall left in the earth whirl, might germinate thin noxiousness. From a period before Magna Charts to the yest 1793, we were under a very different system. At the latter period the charge took place, and it was then said, the power was requisite to enable Goveras. mew to resist the secret machimitioiss of oar foreign enemies. In 1802, the power was trquired because the government of Bostaparie was nut stable. lir 1814, they had not got the unetable government Bonaparte, but fortunately for the Nlinisters they had then the unstable government of Louis XVIII. to refer to, and the measure was to be retained, be e cause the Bourbons were not fixed on the throne of France. In 1816, the Noble Lord (Castlereagll thought the Alien Bill should exist here so lung as the allied army remained in France: it, 18IS, that army was withdrawn, sod the excuse then made also had reference to our, foreign policy, and it was said we ought to continue the Act, at least till it was strts what ttreete would result from withdrawiine our troops from France.
