The Earl of CAERNARVON supported the motion. If this Bill should be passed into a law, it would operate as a great encouragement to gentle men to reside on their estates. As the law at pre sent stood, neither magistrates, juries, nor gentle men, could do their duty, and were almost con stantly compelled to violate it. There was nothing in this Bill to curtail the amusements of the country gentlemen, and why should they not sell their game? As to the illustration of the Noble Lord opposite about people in walking along Monmouth street rubbing their noses against pairs of trousers, these people would not be the less disposed to pilfer them if they could get no trousers to buy.—(Hear, hear, hear.) —He had much to say on the subject ; -but did not think it necessary to take up much of their Lordships' time, as the subject had been dis cussed on other occasions. He certainly had no fear that foxes would be destroyed in conseque nce a sportsman ohfi the himself, f, paasnd thissing w o o f uld B follow the amusement was i greater alacrity after it should be passed. He hoped that at least it would be allowed to go into the Committee, where he would be disposed to agree to such amendments as might conciliate others without trenching on the principle of the Bill. But be himself was ready to vote for its passing as it stood. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1829. No. 11,438. PRICE 7D. UNDER THE IMMEDIATE PATRONAGE OF HIS MAJESTY. STIRACIA'S ITALIAN OlLS,formaking the Hair Grow. Long Hair being so universally worn, particularly by Young Ladies, Mrs. JOHNSON takes the liberty of acquainting the Nobility and Gentry. that STIRACIA'S ITALIAN OILS are the only articles that have ever been discovered to accelerate its growth, which is acquired by rubbing the Oils in the hair twice a week. They also render the hardest hair as soft as silk and completely eradicate the dry scurf, which is so very troublesome (more especially since powder is out of use), and will keep the hair in beautiful curl. Young gen tlemen at school, who have in general coarse hair, at tended by a quantity of dry scurf, would find great benefit from the use of these Oils, not only by the present comfort they afford, but by letting the hair be rubbed now and then, when they become old they would not have either a grey hair or a bald place on their heads, which has been experienced for the last forty years. A more astonishing property of these Oils is that of their being a remedy for the loss of hair on the knees or other parts of horses, as they infallibly restore it to its former natural colour. To be had of the Proprietor, J. Johnson, 28, York place, City-road, London ; and, by appointment, of Messrs. Gattie and Pierce, New Bond-street ; Mr. Rigge, 65, Cheapside; and by all principal Perfumers and Medicine Venders in town and country, ss. per pot. MIDDLETON HALL, BRENTWOOD, ESSEX.

GIBB'S HOTEL, 53, PRINCE'S-STREET, EDIN- BURGH. • I GIBB begs respectfully to in I' l -H ENRY III-.11- form the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, that his New Establishment, formerly the ROYAL HOTEL, hs4,l undergone every alteration which modern improvement could suggest, combining a degree of elegance, comfort, and convenience, which he trusts will not fail to give gene- i ral satisfaction. The central and pleasant situation of this establishment, its vicliaity to the Public Offices and Places of Amusement, with access to the Prince's-street Gardens, give it peculiar advantages as a Family Hotel, and render it highly eligible as a place of temporary resi dence to those visiting the Scottish Metropolis. 2.

Taking ao entrance money, nor Fine for non-appear ance. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY—If he thought it would be attended with any advantage to go into the Committee, would, of course, vote for the second reading of the Bill. But he saw no advantage that could arise from going into the Com mittee; and the only course, therefore, that remain ed for him, was at once to oppose the further pro gress of the Bill. 4. Accepting the Premiums at a single payment--an nually for a limited term—or annually during life, as may best suit the convenience of the Assured. VALUABLE ESTATE IN SCOTLAND.

Embellished with Frontispieces and Vignette Titles, from designs executed expressly for the present Edition, by the most eminent Artists. NOTICE BY THE PUBLISHERS. There are few circumstances in the history of letters more remarkable than the rise and progress of the Waver_ ley Novels. Unlike most other productions of genius, they bad no infancy to struggle with, but reached at once the highest point of public favour,—a station which they have ever since maintained with undiminished popularity. The circulation of these works having been hitherto con fined, in a great degree, to the wealthier ranks of society, the Proprietors have resolved to place them within the reach of readers of all classes, by republishing them in a less costly, but at the same time more elegant shape, and with the additional advantage of a periodical issue. The Publishers have therefore the honour of announcing the speedy commencement of a New Edition, to be pub lished in Monthly Volumes. In this undertaking they have had the cheerful eo-ope ration of the Author himself, who has not only revised every one of the Novels, but has added Explanatory Notes, and a new Introduction to each of them. This Edition will not only be improved in the manner just stated, but also enriched by the pencils of the eminent Artists who have been engaged to embellish it; among these may be named David Wilkie, R.A. ; Edwin Land seer, R.A. ; C. R. Leslie, R.A. ; Abraham Cooper, R.A. ; A. E. Chalon, R.A. ; G. S. Newton, A.R.A. ; F. P. Stephanoff, H. Corbould, William Kidd, J. Stan field, John Burnet, and R. I'. Bonnington. The Engravings will be executed on steel, by Charles Heath, William Finden, Charles Rolls, James Mitchell, F. Engleheart, Ambrose Warren, Robert Graves, J. C. Edwards, W. J. Cooke, W. Ensom, Davenport, Shenton, Duncan, Miller, and other eminent Engravers. PLAN OF THE WORK. _ _ I.

The Edition is so far advanced at press, that regularity of publication may be depended on; and, to such subscri bers as may wish to have some of the Novels complete on the appearance of the first volume of each respec,tively, the Publishers have to state, that the lytigle of Waverlay may he ha 4 on the Ist of June, in 2 vols. for 10e.

Counsel were heard to-day at some length upon this Bill, and the further consideration of it ordered for Monday next. The Earl of TANKERVILLE presented a pe tition from a parish in Essex with respect to wool. Lord GOWER. presented a petition against cruelty to animals. Sir ALEXANDER GRANT, General GASCOYNE, Sir JOHN ASHLEY, Colonel CHAPLIN, and Mr. MUNDY, brought up several Private Bills. Mr. Robertson brought up the third Report from the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Roads. Mr. Smith presented Papers with respect to the Clarence Railway, pursuant to order. Mr. Thompson presented Papers from the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. Several Private Bills were read a third time, and 'passed. Lord DURHAM presented a petition from New castle-upon-Tyne, in favour of the Newcastle Rail way ; also from Corbridge, to the same effect. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from the shoemakers of Newcastle, against the importation of French shoes. The Earl of FALMOUTH presented a petition against the importation of foreign wool, from Laun ceston, in the county of Cornwall. There was no subject he knew of more deserving the attention of Parliament than the distress of the British wool growers. Lord SKELMERSDALE presented a petition from the manufactUreis and merchants of, Wigan, Lancaster, stating their distress, and praying for relief. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that he should to-morrow present a pttition from Manchester, against the East India Company's Charter. GAME LAWS. The Order of the Day was then called on for die second reading of this Bill. Lord WaARNCLIFFE then rose. He was now about to enter upon a subject to which he had often had occasion to draw the attention of the House. He confessed, that since he. had last the honour of addressing their Lordships upon this important subject, circumstances had occurred which made it imperative upon the House to adopt some permanent measure with respect to the Game Laws. Since 1816 this question had never been al lowed to remain quiet. Year after year, the question had been agitated in the other House. The present Bill had been sent up to their Lordships without a dissentient voice. Their Lordships were not to suppose by this that it had not received great con sideration. He would not enter into the Bill brought forward last year, but it was quite clear, if circumstances had not occurred, that it would have been the law of the land. There was no question that interested the morals of the people more than this, and yet it was exceedingly difficult to draw the attention of the House to it. Whenever the subject was talked of, it was considered beneath the dignity of statesmen, and only a topic for the consideration of country gentlemen. The Noble Lord had already stated that attempts, year after year, to reform the Game Laws, had been made, and Bill after Bill, more than one in the course of a Session, had been introduced with that view. On the evidence before the House,there were statements that the existing laws were systematically broken through. Every body was satisfied that those laws secured a monopoly to a few individuals, and every body seemed dissatisfied with that monopoly. By papers produced a few days ago it appeared that in the course of last Lent Assizes no less than two hundred and fourteen persons were committed for poaching, twenty-nine of whom, being indicted for offences arising out of those conflicts, such as shooting or wounding game-keepers, received sen tence of death. One was transported for life, up wards of 40 for 14 years, 20 for seven years, and the rest underwent minor punishments. This was a state of society their Lordships could by no possibility suffer to continue. The wealthier people of the country have declared they will have game: they hold out temptations to the poor to supply them with that game,—that temptation had, and would con tinue to succeed, as long as the restricting laws existed. The market was open at present only to the poacher, and the Noble Lord saw no way what ever of putting an end to poaching, except by throwing the market open to other individuals as well as to poachers. Having established the sale of game, the next consideration would be, the qualifications under which the sale should be per mitted. In his view, the nearer Ow law could be brought to the Scotch principle the nearer they could get to the principle o, matting a property Of pule, ti l e, better it NY O O.I he for all iwew that there wore legal objeco . .;- us to carrying this principle into exintion; which could not be overcome, and he bud reluctantly given t this --and givingand t h e Bill up the idea. H e was anxious to get as near as pos. s ibl e o o h f is was drawn IR. tin the principle the qualificaton to the owners of land. When the Jill went into a Committee an d he . boppd, it would be allowed to go into a Com inietee---he should be willing to make the qualifica tion higher. What could be more absurd than that the owner of land, having sons, coulcl not allow them to sho o t over h i s land v,iitbo k it being subjected to a penalty -,- I 'vcp ;he Illustrious Person sitting on the cross-bench (the Duke of Cumberland) could not shoot over his Royal Brother's manors, .with out subjectin g himself to a penalty. (The pilLe of Cumberland nodded assent to the doctrine.) If that Illustrious Person's Royal Brother had a Scotch Peer or an Irish Peer with him, who owned no land in this country, he could not give him leave to shoot over one of his manors without being liable to a penalty. It was strange, also, that the son of the Illustrious Personage he had alluded to might shoot ; but if, by any accident, he were to step in his father's place, he could not any longer shoot. There was another hardship under the present law. Unless the person who owned the land was also the Lord of the Manor, he could not give any person power to shoot, and he could not preserve game. The Lord of the Manor might prevent the land owner from enabling his servants to protect his game. Their Lordships seemed to leek at this mat ter like the ancient Barons, who were resolved to keep all these privileges to themselves. They must look, however, to present circumstances, and adapt their laws to the present state of society. The two principles he had kept in view, therefore, were to allow game to be sold, and to extend the qualifica tion. Before an individual could be authorised to kill game, he must take out a license, costing three guineas and a half; and he also wished that those who sold game in the market should be obliged to take out a license, and their tide be , carried on under the authority of the Magistrate. Thine were the principles of the Bill, anti***efihl then proceed to notice the objections. The first objection was, that he was interfering with the rights of Lords of Manors. But at present, though they could prevent the owner of land from preserving game, they could not go on the land. If they did, they committed a trespass under the present law. If he took from them this nominal right, he conferred on them an absolute right over the game on their land, and a right of qualifying other persons. On the balance the Lords of Manors would be gainers. The next objection was on the score of the small land-owners. He knew there was a great jealousy on the part of their Lordships, and of gentlemen of large property, to allow their tenants to shoot. lle was ready to limit this qualification to a considerable amount, or he was ready to extend it; but his great object was to give as many persons on the land as possible an interest in preserving game, which would cause it to be preserved at less trouble and less ex pence. But there was one class of objectors, whose opposition he feared more than any other, and that was the opposition of the fox-hunters, who were ap prehensive that the effect of this Bill would be to interest so many in the preservation of the game, that it would induce them to destroy the foxes. But at the same time, it ought to be observed that fox-preserving was breaking of the law; and in order to enjoy the sport, the hunters were obliged to con ciliate the good wishes of their neighbours. The truth was, that he would be extremely sorry to do anything that would materially interfere with their amusements. But he was persuaded that there was nothing in this Bill that would materially affect the amusements of those who were fond of fox-hunting, arid that it would not lead to the destruction of foxes. The small landlord, as the law stood at pre sent, was doubly annoyed—lst, because he could not touch the game on his own land ; and next, be cause the game destroyed so much of his corn ; and in one instance he knew a very worthy man who was so much struck with the annoyance which he and his neighbours suffered in this way, that lie poisoned a part of the corn on which the game was most apt to feed. Grant only that the present state of the law is an evil, and then it followed that some thing ought to be done in order to apply a remedy; and as to the foxes; he would have no objection that the law, instead of offering a reward for killing them, should make their destruction penal, provided he could carry the Bill now before them into effect. lhe Earl of MALMESBURY felt himself called upon to oppose the measure. The Right Hon. Secretary of State had stated, with reference to his Police Bill, which might soon be expected to reach this House, that in this Metropolis, one person out of every 383 teas annually charged with some crime or other ; and yet the county of Middlesex was that in which, of all others, the offence of poaching prevailed the least. Petty larceny was perhaps the nearest in its nature to pouching; and that had in creased to a very great extent as well as poaching, but it was not owing to the state of the law, but to other causes. One cause of the increase of petty larceny as well as of poaching was the want of em ployment for the people—a point on which their Lordships would probably soon have to legislate. Another great cause of the increase of poaching was e t re mar i r e k n a t o l facility n e between the which had different e t rakenetn partsplace i n the of the kingdom. Owing to this circumstance, it was astonishing at what a cheap rate and with what ra pidity a basket of game, as well as he who had it a to nn d t is he p r o . se A of, he c re o m u l i d be ca ght be shot from one ortonhis eNohle Friend's i e c nd t , o e ground on Saturday, and be eaten by a London Alder man on Monday. Another cause of the increase of poaching was the increase in the population of the kingdom, and in its wealth and habits of luxury; and another cause was the cheapness of spirits. That cheapness led to drunkenness, drunkenness to idle ness, idleness to temporary want, and that to crime. The haunting of public-houses was, in his opinion, one great cause of the increase of poaching. He was aware that some were of opinion that the open exposure of game to the poacher, with such a tempta tion to violate the law as existed at present, and the open exposure of poached game for sale, bad a ten dency to demoralize the people. But the tendency to demoralization was not greater than that whit was occasioned by his Noble Friend, when he wgo up and down St. James's-street with it Dandima handkerchief hanging out of his pocket, which pre sented no small temptation to the pick-pockets to seize it. Nor was the tendency greater titan that which was presented in Monmouth-street, where a man could not walk the foot-path without every now and then rubbing his nose against a pair of trowsers. lie rather wondered that his Noble Friend had not adverted to, the report made by the magistrates of SouthFoNen, his (Lard Malmes bury's) county, on the subject of the Game Laws; bait that report lied induced him to write to the clerk of the peace for that county for a list of the commitments for poaching, and the offences rno:3 nearly resembling it, for live years, from 18,24 to 1828, both inclusive ; and the P,...tyrit was this In W 24, the number committed for offences against the Game Laws was 122 :. for 4er stca4g, IQ; fol. fish poaching, fonr;. acid for iQIYI :tealiciliw'agatt eight. 1n 182 t, the'numbei; eaott fitted Poe iis fretea J while e f :t . l.. th e fi e s i,- th i . 4 1 - 1 h ( W ; e gt /1 4 the . txbibiting a decrease, m l i l tt B ed for deer-stealing was three, and for fowl stealing In the last year the number co=nitted un der the Game Laws was 118,, no that there was a decrease under that },Aead since 1824, while in the other partieul4rs there was an increase; and yet the sale of venison, fish, and poultry, was legal, while that of game was illegal; and in reason;4l fro% these premises, his conclusion was the, laegalising of the sale of game would I.3,aye igkeffpect in diminishing the crime of poac4in; But his great objection to the Bill was, 'that if passed into a law, it would of ast m u. eprnlz i odid n dre i tt s erk : li i .eitgti t hei l i i i e itun : lpi tlrir.ireiely‘s'sisielgtendegl.tivieelovtps,,i,iolm:dfe thedisposed to country reside in the country- for the who'4o year inffoant: ro irste u heom n fir d eiftr,r T mby l le i l e ; become caio mimaster deprived aonf aa amusements, would leave their crigatry seats and cock to town.

The House adjourned at Half-past Seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. Alderman WOOD brought up the report i4f the London Bridge Bill Committee. The Sheriffs of London presented a petition for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the port of London.—Referred to a Committer.. CLERKENWELL IMPROVEMENT BILL. The House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, on the Clerkenwell Improvement Bill. Report ordered to be received, and the Bill engrossed. SMITHFIELD MARKET. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from Hendon, against the Bill for enlarging Smithfield Market. Mr. PROTHEROE presented petitions from the parishes of St. James, Clerkenwell, and Har row, praying that the days of holding Smithfield market might be changed from Monday to Tuesday. Mr. GORDON considered this a tit subject foe the attention of his Majesty's Ministers. It would be impossible, if the days were not changed, that a proper observance of the Sabbath could be enforced. - After a few observations from Mr. LENNARD and Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, the petitions were ordered to be printed. Mr. HUSKISSON presented a petition from the Ministers, Churchwardens, and Overseers of the Poor of a Parish in Liverpool, praying that that part of Mr. Slaney's Bill now before the house, re specting the employment of, able-bodied men, might pass into a law. EAST INDIA TRADE. Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice that he should to-morrow present a petition from the Mer chants, Bankers, and others, of the town of Liver pool, praying that, on the expiration of the East India Company's Charter, the same ►night not be renewed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WODEHOUE. moved for various returns relating to the Beer and Malt Trade, for the last two years.—Ordered. Sii• H.

Admiral HARVEY presented a petition from a parish in Essex, against the Metropolitan Road Bill, Mr. SPRING RICE moved for various returns relating to the sums of money paid to grand juries in Ireland, and likewise for accounts of the funds o( charitable inst,tutions in that country. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the county of Cumberland, praying for the imposition of a heavier duty on foreign wool. He observed that it was rather startling for the House to consider the anomaly that the wool-grower of this country complained that he was obliged to sell his wool at a ruinous loss, and the manufacturer complained th a t he was obliged to sell the manufactured erticle if not at a loss, at a profit infinitely too low, After a few words from Mr. C. Pclas‘m, Mr. HEATHCOTE was sorry that the short wool trade was in its present depressed state, as wool which had sold at 58s, was now selling at 225. and 23 5. H e believed that no other department, of trade had undergone a similar degree of depression. The Right Hon. VESEY FITZGERALD felt that it would be at present impossible to follow the Hon. Gent. (Sir J. Graham) in the various topics he had touched on in the course of his speech. At a proper time the question respecting the state of the wool trade would no doubt receive from this House all the Lit teut ion that it deserved, After a few words from Lord MILTON and Mr. F. LEwis, the petition was laid on the table. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from an individual in Cumberland, against the Assessed Taxes. A Message was brought up from the Lcrds, sig nifying their Lordships having agreed. to several Privatv NU. SLANEY presented a 'petition from certain inhabitants of the borough of Ipswich, against the licensing system. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELATES. Col. SIBTHORPE said that on Thursday last he asked the Secretary for the Home Department respecting an advertisement which appeared in a Dublin paper, in which a Dr. Curtis was called the Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, and a Dr. Mur ray the Roman Catholic Archbishop of To that question the Right Hon. Gent, was n , , t so courteous as to return an answer. He now begged to ask the Right Hon. Gent, under wliat sanction those two 54. , 1t-created beings were named in the advertisement ? Mtn. PEEL was sorry that there khd been any ap pearattia taf discourtesy on his pas t On a former night, taut he could assure the Hot: a . M em b er t h at h e put no question on that occa:dion. He made se vera l ob servations, but conchtdod without proposing h ques tion. The Hon, Dde,mber now wished to know by what authority two self-cr ea t e d b e i ngs were named in a cettAiti advertisement. It was not in his power to give the Hon. Member a satisfactory answer upon that point. He could only say that by the late Act of Parliament for affording relief to Roman Catho lics, certain pow4us devolved on the Attorney-Ge neral for Ireland, who had received instructions stu diously to, enforce the law, Whether the circum stances to which the lion. Member had called his attention was an infraction of the law was a point on which he thought it would be improper to pronounce an opinion, He could only repeat that the AttOr. ney•Qekood for Ireland had received general Instruc tions to enforce the law, and that no tiwitht he would do so. Mr. FYLER . presented It petition from certain agriculturellabourer s , praying the House to pass a law so establish that the minimum wages of an agri cAltural labourer should he of the value of two bushels of wheat. Mr. BARING brought in a Bill to exclude per sone
