REGENCY. Sir F. BUBDETT fixed Tuestfily the 23d inst, for the day on which, he would bring forward bis mo tion for a Bill to cause the Regency .to devolve on the Princess Charlotte of Wales, in the event of the decease of the Prince Regent. On the motion of Mr. -13Erc1Br, there was or dered to be laid before the House, an Account of all the Sums of Money sent to the Peninsula, for the support of our Army, front Dec. 24, 1811, to Dee, 24,,1812, and sirct further time as the same could be made tip to.

Mr.Aistutenotualki dicl.not rise to _oppose the motion 'of the Hononrable Gentleman, but to ex plain the he !tad not anticipated him In the motion which was before the noose. : ".re reason was, because he did not deem it of importance to the great question to which the !tuition related (Vice Chancellor's 13411), to furnish the. House with Ruch a Joel:meta as that which, was nuvo moved for ; it not being so tnaterial for the House. to know the : quautity us the. quality of the business in the Court of Chancery. lie thought that the Honnurable ci'csitietuan would do well to qualify his motion in that part of it which related to di, orders for petitioms, and makc it for those petiti ons which required Attendance; He hoped that he should stand acquitted with the House of uny intention to conceal the quantity of business in the Court of Chancery, by not having himself made the motion before the Honse,Ats the omissi on was caused solely,by a conviction of the union portance of that statement which was the object of the motion. Mr. WET!IgRALL observed, that he shonld not use the qualification proposed by the Honourable, Gentleman (Mr. Abercrombie) because every pe-• tition did occupy a certain portion of the atten tion of the Lord Chancellor. lie disclaimed any intention of censuring the Honourable Gentle man for not bringing forward such a motion us the one which he.badjust then submitted to the House. . • • • Sir SADIVEL ROMILLY thought that his non. Friend was not .aware of what he was moving for. A number of the Orders made on Petitions were mere matter Of room, and occupied no portion of the time of. the Lord Chancellor. Mr.WETHERALt. ob.icrved, that very few of those Orders culled ir Orders of Course,'' came before' the Lord Chancellor. SAMUtI. Rommty proposed, as an amend ment to the motion of the Honourable Gentleman, " That a distinction should be made in the Ac count of Orders or Petitions, stating which were Orders of Course." Mr. NirwrnritaLi: said, h should object to this Anienthaeat, sinless the words ".in as far as pos sible" were added to it. The question being put; the Motion, with the A mytitititent and wus carried.

In this Committee, on the Motion of Mr. Wha rton, stuns were granted for the-support of the dif ferent Colonial Lstablisisments, pursuant to the estimateS which had been made out.—For New South Wales, 80,0001. ,and . for Nova 'Scotia, 11,2941. • Mr. FRE MANTLE wished that the estimates for these SUMS bad been laid on the Table, murder that the House might see the particular items, and not blinitUr grant such Mr. WHARTON observed, that it bas perfectly unnecessary to lay these estimates upon the Ta ble, as no alteration had been made in them for many years, and the House was. in possession of the former_ estimates, which had never been ob jected to. The Report of the Committee was then received and agreed to. The Local Token Bill WAs read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow.

On Tuesday night aperson was robbed on the Chetham-hill road, and another on the road to Ashton-under-Lyne; on Saturday night, be tween seven and eight o'clock, as Mr. SAMUEL. BVILEYi cotton-merchant, was riding towards home, on the flusholme road, he was suddenly entangled by a rope, stretched across the road, for the purpose of robbery. His mare was upon a sh.arp canter, and he was, in a moment, swept oi; her back, and instantly seized by fotrr men, who told him, if he made any resistance they would shoot him. They then proceeded to rifle him of the property be had about , his person ; when they had effected their purpoie, they told him to proceed on, and make no alarm, or his lite should pay for it. He endeavoured in vain to recover his mare, dna she found her way 'home, alone, about six o'clock on Sunday morning.— Two men were apprehended on Sunday evening, o n suspicion of being concerned• in the above rub bery,—( (Winchester Iferaht.) Several attempts have been made, we under stand, within these few days, to break open the bemuse of the Rev.

Plunder is supposed, to h ave bee n their object ; though the peepetratiol of the following ackeommitted, it is conjectured, hy one of the eawe party, induces a belief that, had they been pieces:did in entering the bonse, the robbery - would have been succeeded by blaeker crimes,— As the son of Mr. 'Tyner was walking in some Premise 3 adjoining the dwelling, a tlii11) Ctitittetliy appeared ahoVe a hedge, levelled a gig::, and im mediately fired it him ; fortunately, the contents took no other effect than that of passing; throngh the hat, of the intended victim, and he escaped nnhart.
