The Report of the Lords' Committee appointed to search for precedeots as to the mode of enforcing the attendauce of Peers on the second reading of the B►ll against the QUEEN, was made Last night in the !louse of Lords. It states that the Committee had searched and had found several precedents, sod had come to sundry resolutions founded thereon. As to the attendance of Peers, it was resolved, that no Lori should absent himself fur the three first day% after the 17th of August next. under a penalty, by way of fine, of 100/. fur every d.►y he should be so absent, and 50/. for every day he should be absent ►lfterwards. That no excuses for -attendance should be admitted, except for such Peers as ex ceeded seventy years of age ; or that should have been out of the realm on the 10th lay of July inst. ; or on account of the death of a parent, wife, or r hill. That those Peers who should be absent from age or sicknes► should communicate the same. by letter, to the Lord Chancellor. That the Lord Chant . . llor do communicate, by letter, to every Peer the substance of the preceding Resolutions. As to the arrangements for the accommodation of their Lordships, the Report goes on to state, that the Committee had been attended by the Surveyor. (bittral of the Board of %Works, and John Solute. Esq. the Architect of that Hoarse, and it was the opiation of the Committee, that an humble Address should be presented to his Majesty. requestiog that lw would berpleased to give directions that a gal lery be erected along the sides of the House for the accommodatiou of their Lordships. during the exa. JJJ 11l ation of the evidence on the 811 of Pains and Penalties; and that a space be arranged below the bar for the Counsel, Agents, Solicitors, witousses, trod others attending the same. Mr. WETHERELL lust night moved, in the Molise of Commons, that the passage in Fibulalts Wes►ern Luminary, reflecting on the QUEEN, was lotach of the privileges of that House. A de bate ensued, and the motion was withdrawn upon the assurance of Lord CASTLEREAGH that the sub ject had attracted the attention of the ATTORNEY GENERAL, but that .it could not be brought be fore the Courts until the close of the vacation, from whence we must presume that it will be then made the subject of prosecution. His Lordship, in the course of his speech, feelingly lament c) the grievous excesses of the public press, which he represented as generally employed in ex citing the vilest, the basest, and the most angry postows of the multitude. It is, not a little extraurdioary, however, that the Wes►ern Lu mina►y, and the other unworthy members of the pre s s most notorious for this prostitivion of their powers. are of the class which study to ren der themselves amiable in the eyes of Ministers. flail the influence been early exerted iii the case of the QUEEN which patrons are presumed to hove over their dependants, the exertions of the independent pert of the press in her MAJESTY'S cause `would have been unnecessary•. All attempt has been made in the chose of her MAJESTY to pervert• the prin. ciples of justice, and overwhelm her with libels. Surely the effort of the press that seeks to pre serve the coarse of justice purr, sod to stein this torrent, cauaot be considered a grievous excess of its powers. 'l'lw Paris Papers of the 22(1 arrived yesterday. They contain no further account of the progress of the revolution iu Naples than that which we pub sltett One of the Paris Papers says tins great measure 1' has been undertaken, exe cuted, and terminated, without the people bring able to guess whist was in agititiou."

We have, however. much to say, particularly on the subject of the opera. The Comedy of erten has been mode a very pleasant entertainment, as well as the meJium of tome fine melodies—to the words of Sti*ICSPEAR6. The /Manias of Rmor( and WILLIAMS a►e irresistibly comic. We are glad to find that Mr. PHILIPPd has again resumed his sta lion. and is welcomed with that cordiality his de serts and his character merit so well. Miss Boota is she principal heroine of our stage, and in versa tility mid power we do not know her superior. Her benefit takes place on Tuesday, and will furnish a delightful treat to the dramatic amateur. Thr play is Fontainbkaat, in which Mr. PHILIPPS and Mr. FARREN both take prominent parts. Miss Boom plays Miss Dolly Ball, and from what we have already seen of this Lady, we feel justified in promising ourselves much amusement from her re presentation of the homely Englishwoman. sur rounded by French manners and fashions. Bestdes ►epeating Cot.r.tus' beautiful Ode, she plays An nette, ill Tits Maid and the Magpie, at the first .representation of which we were present at Covent. garden, and we well remember the applause with which Mimi BOOTH was received in this affecting and beautiful tnelo-drame. On the whole, we re. commend our play.going friends to a treat which they will not frequently receive ; and as we do feel a lively concern in the interest of this most exem plary young Lady. we trust that the will have cause to recollect with pleasure, that an Irish audience cannot only appteciate, but reward those exertions for their amusement, which she has been successful in making.—( Dublin livening Post.) MAJORITY OF THE MAAQUIS OF GRAHAM. The birth-day of the Marquis of Graham (eldest son of the Duke of Montrose), who has now com pleted his twenty-first year, was celebrated on Tuesday last by the gentlemen and tenantry of his Grace's estate and neighbourhood, with ancient Scottish festivity. A party of about 120, composed of the tenants on the Duke's estates in the counties of Stirling and Dumbarton, and a number of re spectable neighbouring gentlemen, were enter tained with a splendid dinner at the Bucheasn's Arms Inn, Drymen, and the health of this highly accomplished and very promising young Nobleman, with those of his noble parents and their family, and many other national and local touts, were drunk with the warmest enthusiasm. A similar en teitainment was pro►ided at M'Leran'a Inn, Aber foyle, for the tenants on the Perthshire estate; and the labourers in his Grace's employment, with their wives, to the number of 100. had ■ dinner pre pared for them at Buchanan-House. The evening was concluded with bonfires. dancing. and a li beral distribution of provision* and liquor to the cotters and poorer inhabitants of the district. The utmost conviviality end most perfect harmony pre vailed during the course of the day; and all ranks vied in expressing their attachment to the illustri ous family of Montrose, and their hope that its an cient honours might not only be preserved unsul lied, but acquire additional lustre in the person of the youthful Graham-more.

INJUNCTION,PIRACY. STEDMAN r. OUT •ND OTHERS. Mr. HAaT, Couissel for the PhoutilL moved for an injunciiun to restrain the Defendants front pro• ceeding in selling a book called " Guy's Klement, of Astronomy," which was in part pirated from the work of the Plaintiff, deoomimoted " Stedmon's Study of Astronomy." the first edition of which was pub lished in 1793, and hail gone through four edition's; the last published in 1819. The Defendant Guy was Professor of Astronomy to the Royal Military College; and the other Defendants were Messrs. Baldwin and Co. respectable booksellers, who were his printers and publishers. If his Lordship would compare the two books together he would find that of the Defendants contained a volt deal which was in the Plaintiff's, but certainly in a colourable shape. Under these circumstances he load nu doubt but his Lordship would grant the injunction. Mr. SHADWELL. Counsel for Defendants, said, he did not deny but there was a simila►ity in the contents of the two books, bat the Court of Chan cery never interfered by injunction in any case where dee diligence was not used ; he would sliew that it had first been so used here. The book of the Defendants was published io Feb. 1819. The Plain tiff did not file his bill until April 1820, and ors this day, the osth July, for the first time, moved for AO injunction. He held in his hand an affidavit of the defendant Baldwin, which proved the very manner these gentlemen, the Defeudants, treated the care in the first instance, stating, that Mr. Mawmoo, the agent of the Plaintiff. waited on the deponent in February last, and niforrned him for the Brat time, that the Defendants' book was pirated, in part, from that of the Plaintiff: On this information, depo uent immediately wrote to the Plaintiff, expressing !thermos, that such a circumstance should have takeu place,thst it was without his knowledge, and contrary to the manner of him and hiss partners doing busissees; then informed him, that they having published a lithe book, writicu by the Defendant on geometry, he applied to him to write one on astronomy ; and hr was induced to this, from hearing that the Defendant. Guy, had written one on the sub ject for the use of his school in the Royal Ma hoary College, he complied with the Depunent's request, and furnished him with the book complaiued of. That the Deponent informed the Plaintiff that there were but Yff numbers of the Defendant, Guy's, book unsold, and that he, the Deponent, would take care, if there was 'soother edition published, that tLe part charged to be pirated should be omitted. The Learned Counsel then said, that in his opinion the question now before the Court was not whether the Defendant Guy's book was a piracy or toot, or whe ther he and the Plaintiff had taken from Mr. book, which was the general source of all au thors on the subject of astronomy ; but the ques tion was, as the piracy had lasted so long as from February, 1819, whether Isis Lordship would now grant an injunction on an ex-parte application The LORD CHANCELLOR observed. that the fair thiug to he dune in this care was, to allow the De fendants to sell the books they had already printed, and to be restrained by injunction from printing and sidling any other edition containing any part of the Plaintiff's book.— lisjuisction, granted ro part.
