THURSDAY, MARCH 19. - Mr. CHARLES DUNDAS gave notice, that "he would ) , to-morrow, move for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the time for presenting printed Copies of Private Bills. - LANARK ELECTION. The following Members were chosen to try the merits of the Lanark Eledion Petition : Lord G. H. Cavendish - 'Harvey, Esq. • 1. F. Cawthorne, Esq. Edward Harvey, Esq. Lord R. E. H. Somerset rilbmas Thornton, Esq. Charles Chester, Esq. William Bagwell, Esq. Hon: William Gore Lord Brooke Thomas Woods, Esq. Right Hon. R. P. Carew NO:ktINEES. Charles Dundas, Esq. lohn Patterson, Esq. Mr. Woodford, from the Exchequer, presented an Account of the Monies issued by his Majesty pursuant to. Address, and not made good by Parlia ment.—Ordered to lie on the Table. HALF-PAY OFFICERS, &c. The SECRETARY at 1V 4P rose, pursuant to no tice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for paying .the allowances to - Half-pay Officers, their Widows, and persons on the Compassionate List, at their own re sidences. In the object of this'll' all would agree :. it was one which was very desirable if it could be, effeCted, and he could anticipate no objection to it.. He therefore need not trouble 'the House at length on the subject. He concluded by moving for two EiliS ; the one to pay the allowance as above, and the, other to enable the . Kilmainham 'Hospital Commissioners. to make regulations for the more easy and speedy payment of Pensions.—Agreed to. SCOTCH TAXES. Lord HEARY PETTY, pursuant to notice, rose to move for leave to bring in_a Bill to regulate. the colle&ion of Taxes in Scotland. 'His objth was to have the money lodged in 'the Scotch Banks as soon as colle6ted, .nd to have it remitted from thence ter the Bank of England. There could be no ob jeaion to this. Parliament had last year OM on the principle with respect to England, and now it was proposed to extend the regulation to Scotland, with the variation necessary from local circum stances. This variation was to. have the money lodged in the Scotch Banks in the first instance. It, was proposed, that the colleelots silquld, on the last day Of every month, make . up theaccount of receipts for that month, and deliver them, with the - 1 ,1 pr L.uce, to the Receiver4;eneral. And the Receiver-Gene ral, on receiving the remittances, was to lodge each of them punauallY as he received it, one moiety i n the Bank of Scotland, and the other moiety in the Royal Bank of Scotland. As there were two char- , tered Banks, it was thought advisable to. put them so far on an equality. Another provision was, that when ,the money lodged in the Banks amounted to 50001. they should be obliged to remit them to the Bank of England. As . the money in the handS of the Receiver-General was subjeCt to creational de mand, there was a provision requiring him to state these to 'the Cashiers of the Banks, who would be empowered to ,retain as much as would answer the claims. The accounts were to he open to the in. speaion of the Lord Advocate for the time being,. or to any person appointed by him,: He' con cluded by moving for a Bill pursuant to these propositions. _ Mr. ROSE • approved of the measure, as • it would certainly prevent inconvenieneies that had occurred in one or two instances. Lord HENRY Plivry then proposed that it should be carried through the first stages as soon as possible, in order to be sent to Scotland.—Leave g►ven. . • ROYAL FAMILY ANNUITY. Lord HgNRY PIA'TV moved for leave to bring in a Bill to render perpetual the Royal Family Annuities, with a view to corre& an inaccuracy that had.occurred in the Bill of last year.--Leave given. _L Mr. HUSK ISSON postponed Lis Finance Resolu tions till Monday. Mr. VANSITTART moved for leave to bring in a Bill to extend the Custom Regulations to the Out ports.—Leave given. Sir Jon NE.WPORT gave notice, that he would to-morrow move fur leave to bring in a Bill to Amend an At relative to the Wages of Servants. SICILIAN CAPTURES The ADVOCATE-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable the Minister of his Sici lian Majesty, at this Court, to receive the Prize money of the Sicilians for captures made by 'them -in ,Conjun6tion wkth British Ships, for the porPose of distributing tie same among the Officers 'and Crews of the Sicilian ,Vessels.—Leave given. The ‘Bill was then brought in, read a first, andord?fed to be read a second time to-morrow. Sir JOHN NEWPORT brought in a Bill to continue the Dublin Coal A6t.—Read a first time, and order ed to be read a second tirrie. to-morrow. The Irish Malt and Spirits Duty Bill was brOught in, —.,Read a first and ordered to be read a 'second tinh-; to-morrow. The Iri6#l Paper Duty Bill was committed.—Re port to-morroN.v.

The Speaker called out " Order ! Order !—this is contrary to all regularity." He then called the Ser jeant, .and ordered him to take Mr. Sheridan into custody till the rising of the House.—This was ac cordingly done. The Excise Licence Bill was read a third time and passed. - The Coffee Warehousing Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Mr.VANSITTART obtained leave to bring in a Bill to permit the Exportation of Fuller's Earth and Pipe Clay.

L 0 N D 0 N, I , RIDAY, MARCH 20, 1807. WE yesterday stopped the Press to state, that Lords ELDON 'and HANVKESKIRY had been ordered ,to attend His MAJESTY at Windsor. Their Lord ships went out early yesterday morning., and re-, turned in the afternoon. Upon their return to town they went to the Duke of PORTLAND'S, for the pur pose, as it is stated, of conveying to him His MA JESTY'S Commands to 'prepare for his consideration a plan of a New Administration.' We do not pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the latter parr of the above statement ; but we have the strongest reason' to believe, that , when this Paper was put to Press, DO notification'of His MAJESTY'S pleasure had been communicated to Ministers. AN Evening Paper has endeavoured to throw upon the condua of the existing Cabinet the false and wicked attempt of diminishing-that affe6tion, loyalty, and attabhment , which have ever subsisted, and which, we trust, -will never cease to subsist, in the breasts of the People of these Realms to their Sovereign; - arid it is by a very curious mode of reasoning. that this silly,. though infamous calumny, is urged. In the explanation which has already taken place in the Publia Prints, and which we haveno doubt is as the present critical situation affords us the means of disclosing, the question Of ditfer• ence between His MAJESTY and his Ministers has been stated to rest upon a pledge required on one part, which could not be entered into on the other. Whatever difference, or .whatever misunderstand ing, existed in the course of the discussion on the Catholic Bill now pending in Parliament, between the KING and his Ministers, that difference and that misunderstanding are Completely &tie away by the surrender of the Question in lobo' by the latter.— As 'far, therefore, as the subje& of the Catholic Bill isinvOlved in this attack upon the present Cabinet,' we would leave it to the unprejudiced judgment of the public how such a condu& merits such an accu sation. With respe6t to the consideration of the . pledge before alluded to, we still beg leave to make our observations upon it, without the most distant intention of insinuating blame to a quarter where we, in common . with every Being who has the feelings of gratitude and loyalty, are anxious to chew our most warm and dutiful at tachment. .But let the subje& be fairly stated. .011 the one hand there is a sense of duty, of conscientious obligation, of feeling, imbibed and cherished and strengthened from His MAJESTY'S cradle to the present hour, and from these impres sions, and a jealous regard - for the Protestant As- . cendancy, have the pledge been required. On the other hand; it is btit just to consider the nature and extent 'of such an engagement contrafted by any Minister or public man, whatever. - . Would it be Consistent either with his duty to the KING or to the Public ? As far as we are enabled to appreciate the situation of a Minister, we are led to look upon him as responsible to the Kingdom for ,the A6ts of his Administration: We conceive him for the. time being as the duardian of the Public Welfare, as the fortunatemedium through-which the opinions of the People are and ought to be communicated to the Sovereign.-How therefore could a Minister justify to himself and to the Public a pledge that under any circumstances whatever he should be dis abled from making that full and ample ex planation, which it is his,beunden duty. to make, and which we should conceive his withholding would . . justify his impeachment. Such are the views we take on' the subje& of any pledge, upon any pUblic grounds, from any public man. As the case 'now stands, we conceive the Surrender of the Bill in question as fully' satisfaelory, more particu larly as .the manner in -which it has now been r. resisted , and withdrawn is the strongest and most satisfadtory security to His Majesty .that no Ministers can in future - bring it forward with any ha; es ot succes. Upon these groundi, giving a fair and just consideration to the question as it applies both to His MAJESTY and to his Ministers, we can not allow far an instant that the public and avowed refusal on the-part of the latter to.contraft such an engaget: - .ellt, can in any Ivi..y whatever be judged as an atteml)t to diminish the affe6tions of the People to their Sovereign. Tiz Princess Amelia Packet arrived at Falmouth on Tuesday from Jamaica ; but she was sixty-three days on her passage, and consequently does not bring any intelligence of so late a date as 'that which ha s already reached. this Country. Hisßoyal Highness the PRINCE of WALES, Lord and Lady. MELBOURNE, Lord GRANTLEY, the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVENi Mrs. PITZHERBERT, and a few* other friends, dined yesterday with EarI..BERKELEY, at his house, in Spring Gardens. Lord GRENVILLE gave a grand dinner yesterday to Lords MOIRA, HOWICK, HOLLAND, ELLENEO• ROUGH, SIDMOUTH, H. PETTY, SPENCER, and TEM PLE, Messrs. WINDHAM, T. GRENVILLE, &C. Yesterday the . Governors of the Asylum for Or. phan Children celebrated their Anniversary at the Freeniasons' Tavern • his Royal Highn es s th e D u k e of CAMB RIDGE i n die Chair; near 200 of the Go vernors and friends of the Charity partook of an ele gent Entertainment. Yesterday the DUKE of CLARENcs-visited the Asylum, St. George's-fields, where the Lambeth Vts.: lunteers were drawn up to receive him. His Royal . Highness, after inspeaing this humane Institution, politely expressed hi s appro b at i on of the.conduat of the Volunteers, who w ent through their military exercises in a soldier-like style. A Half-yearly Court of the Proprietors of Bank Stock was yesterday held at the Bank, for the pur pose,of reading over the Minutes of the last Meet ing, and for declaring the amount of the half-year's dividend due at Lady-day. The Governor, Deputy.. Governor, and Direelors, attended at twelve.o'clock, and, to a very full assembly of Proprietors, announced, that on the sth of April next they would be at li berty to receive half a year's dividend of 5. per cent. on the amount. of their Stock, due at Lady-day, making 10 per cent. per 'annum, on the gross amount, independently of the pro Tea of a bonus, at. the next half -yearly meeting.—Bank Stock in consequence rose to 2301. per cent. This morning, at five o'clock, a fire broke out at • the Musical Instrument Manutadory, in Tottenham. court-road, belonging to Messrs. CLEMENTI and Co. which entirely consumed that extensive and valuable fabric, and damaged several adjoining houses. At• first there was a want of water, but when a surplr could be obtained, the a6tivity and skill of the tire.. men subdued tae flames. - • The recent impudent assertions in the French Bul letins, that the mortality in the Grand Airny is ra ther less than during a period of peace, seem to be bit . servile imitations of the statements of the Pa risian Journalists during the war of, the ,Grand Al liance. The . healthy condition of the French people after the Battles of Hochstecit and Rarnilies, is thyS humourcusly represented in tl'x_ at"er::—" My c or respondent, by the way of Brussels, informs rue, upon his honour, thilt the Gentleman who writes the Gazette at Paris, and ought to know as well as any man, has told him, that ever since the King has been past his 63d year, or grand climaderic, there has not died one man of the French Nation who was younger than his Majesty, except a very few who. were taken suddenly ill nu' r the village of HOch tedt, in Germany,: and some more who were strait ened for lodging, at a place called Ramilies, and died. on the road to Ghent, and Brugei." The Duke of NORFOLK permits his Ane Mansion at Arundel to be publicly viewed twice a week, and has, in the most condescending manner, made . this indulgence known in the country. Such attention to the curiosity and taste of others forci-• bly reminds us of the distinalion between the polite and liberal enjoyment of greatness, which may be witnessed in persons to whom it is familiar, and the coarse monopoly which new possessors insist upon in their territories. POLITENESS IN THE ExTREmE.--T4e Duke De Crillon was at Avignon at the period when the Duke o f Ormond died there; and . having entered his chamber at the very moment when the latter was dying, he had nearly been witness to a remarkable scene which had just taken pla - ce between the ex piring Nobleman, who was a true pattern of polite ness, and a German Baron, also one of the most polite men of his country. The Duke, feeling, him= self dying, desired to be.conveyed to his arm chair, when turning to‘vardS. the Baron, " Excuse me, Sir," said he, " if I should make some grimaces in your presence, but my physician tells me that I am at ' the point of death." " A,h, my Lord Duke 1" re plied the Baron,," I 'beg that you will not put your self under any constraint on my account." , . THE ARTS.—The statue of Venus sitting, which does so much honour to the talents of NOLLEKENS, has been purchased by the Earl, of CARLISLE, one of.the most liberal and intelligent patrons of the Arts. The Marquis of STAFFORD, who is not less distinguished by tastg and liberality, has become . the Proprietor of SnEt's charming pi(ture " The Cottage Girl," WESTALL's " Christ appearirg to Mory,'. - OPIE'S admirable work " Beltisarius," and HENva LRTT'S Flower Piece ;" for the last of which the Noble Patron gave four hundred guineas. On Tuesday l'ast, as one of the Manchester st age . coaches was in the aa cf stopping to change horses at the Inn at Leek, one cf the outside passengers, in : his impatience to get down before the coach was . quite still, unfortunately fell down between the_ wheels, so that one of the hind wheels passed (tiredly. over his head. Having on a stiff 'leather hat, the pressure on his head was so much lessened, that skull sustained no injury, but the lower jaw bore eras broke. He is, however, in a fair way of re. covery. .. . , . Many of the theatrical Corps during Passion week. , 'are engaged to perform on PrOVincial Stages. It 1; somewhat strange, however, that while London, that at. no time,is distinguished for devotion, is disposed , solemnly- to observe religious ordinanc e s, country.. places; in which z . aral innocence is thought to reside, should be amused with putlie diversions.
