PA.RtJ A.NIE NT, HOUSE OF LORDS', J UNE 2. • Mr. HYAM, from the Office of the commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, presented an account of the Unredeemed Debt for the year ended sth April, 182:1. Lord DUDLEY and `VALID took - the oaths and his seat, on his accession to the title. . Lord STANLEY . and other Members-brought up a message from the House of Commons, requesting the attendance of the Earl of Chichester befOre the Committee en the claim preferred by M. M'Adams. The Earl of CHICHESTER being in the House, expressed his readiness to attend, and the same was communicated to the Commons. A message from the Com Mons also communicated that the House had granted permission-to Sir George Clark and 11r. Davis Gilbert to attend their Lordships' Committee on the Weights and Measures Bill. The - Earl,of DONOUGIIMORE - Presented three petitions from individuals against the Irish Grand Jury Presentment MIL The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a petition from Charles Piti, of Adam-stre.wt, Atlelpg'ltgainst the With and 28th sections of the Marriage Amendment Bill, and suggesting 44 additional clause. The Earl of LAUDERDALE objected to the petition being received, as inconsistent with their Lordships' regulation not to receive a petition front any individual except it complained of a speCific grievance. After a few words, from the Earl of DAILLINGTON, the pe tition was rejected. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, the Scotch En tails' Bill was read the second time, and ordered to' lie commit:. ted on Monday se'ennight ; after which his Lordship propOsed that it should stand over, in order that it might have the fullest consideration in the quarter which its provisions would most materially affect.. • The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presented a petition from John Clarke, of Skipton, in YOrkSkire, complaining of having been committed to hard labour in the tread-mill of the prison at Northallerton, and detained one year and 44 weeks for want of sureties in articles of the peace exhibited against hint by his wife. His - Lordship said the present petition bore upon 4 bill' which was botbre their Lordships' House, in which . the matter, complained of was provided for. Though he knew theta; was some difference of opinion on the tthestion of the power of the Magistrates to commit to hard labour before conviction, yet he,. had no hesitation in saxing, that in the present instance, if not illegal, it wits highly inexpedient to have committed the indivi. dual to hard labour, and more particularly to that species of hard labour. Of the necessity of preserving the distinction.be tween prisoners committed and prisoners convicted, there was. no difference of opinion, iu any quarter. His Lordship also presented a petition. from the inhabitants of Whitby, nraying .the House to take measures for the,gradual abolition of slavery in the Colonies.—BOth petitions were ordered to lie on the table.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS: Sir T. LETH BR I'DGE took this opportunity of formally withdrawing the notice. which he had given, .and Which stdatt for Thursday next, for suienittillA to - thellouse certain Reso. !miens on the subject of Agricultural Distress. He begged to state that be was induced to do this on the recommendation of several Gentlemen, whom he knew to be.among the . warthest friends of the Landed Interest, and who, when he -first an. ' nounced it to be. his intention to bring leeward such a motion, had engaged to give him their zealous support. He was happy to state, that the circumstances under which he withdreSo his notice were - very different front those under which it had been given, and he hoped•those connected with the land were justi. tied in looking forward to tt weat alleviation, if not to a total extinction of that distress, which h a d s e l on g been - the Subject of just complaint, and of auxi c ai s a l arm. . Lord FOLKSTQNE was glad - to hear that the Situation of the Landed Interest was so materially improved to induce the Hon. Baronet to withdraw the .u ot i ec which he had given. He, however, should think it right to. persevere in bringing forward the motion of. which li e (Lord Falkstone) had given AS notice, and be proposed on Thursday next to Move for theap. pointment of a Committee, to take into consideration the effects Iproduced by the.resumptiou of cash. payments, and the rpm.. sures which, in consequence of these effects, it might be equit. able to adopt. Mr. CURTEIS expressed hi s - s a t i s f act ion at finding that the Hon. Baronet, satisfied of the improving state of the landed interest, saw reason to withdraw his motion. The Hon. Oen. tleman was then proceeding to offer sonic remarks on the suh. ject, when The SPEAKER inquired if the Hon. Gentleman intended to conclude with 'a motion. - If such were not his intention, he could-not . then be heard, as there was no question before the House. The conversation here terminated. • . . DEVONSII IRE PETITION. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from the Free. holders, Leaseholders, and. Copyheiders of the County of Devon, in favour of Parliamentary Reform. This Petition had been voted at a-meeting which was held, not under the who,. rity of the Sheriff, who, on a 'requisition being sent to 'him, signed by more than 600 persons, had deelined calling a County -Meeting. The meeting was, in consequence held under the sanction of live Alagisnates. He (Lord E.) having had the honour to preside at it, could speak to the respectability of the a tt e ndance, and the good order which had been observed. - The petition had been unanimously voted, and was signed by 5,161 persons. The petitionent, among other things, complained that the aspect of our foreign affairs were equally grievous and alarming, as they considered that the Government had become the tool of the Continental Alliance. To correct the various 'evils growing out of the present system, the petitioners strong ly insisted on the necessity of effecting a Reform in that House. . .. - Mr.NEWMAN spoke to the respectability of the Meeting, and to the perfect order and good humour which h a d p reva il e d: lie strongly recommended the petition to the attentive consi• deration of the House. TREMAYNE had been pas , :ing through the Town at the time of the Meeting, butluul not witnessed those indications of public feeling which might haVe been expected from the un.. ammity described to presisiL After a few further 'observations from Mt. CURNVEN, Sir F. OMMANEV, and Mr. P. MOOICE. Lord EBRINGTON briefly replied, and the petition was ordered to be printed. - scOTCII LINEN. Jr.it S. WORTLEY presented a petition from certain Mer chants of the City of London. and Dealers in Scotch Linen, praying the 8111 now in the Home for regulating the Linen Trade may not pass. into a Jaw. Sir It. FEnoirsox offered a few remarks on the -subject, which were replied to by. Mr. S. lirouTLEr • and the Ilawas ordered to be printed. .M} TA(.IE fli» COALS. Mr. BUM E presented a petition from a person of the name of 0. Bradfield, complaining of certain circumstances connected with the present system of metage of coals. The lion. Mem. ber said, he had endeavoured to make himself acquainted with this subject, and in consequence of having done se, he had no hesitation in saying that it was one which it was veryr . desira. ble for Parliament to take up. 'He had made inquiries into the manner in which the duties were performed, and thought but he did no t find that there the system might be improved, were any.grounds for the insinuations which had been thrown out last year to the prejudice of Mr. Tulloch. It was his in. tendon to rnove'for accounts, showing the amount of charge for metage in the last year, and how the *Ramebad been appropri. ated. This done, the public would be enabled to judge, for themselves of the present system, and it would be for the Bowe to determine whether it should continue. Sir I. COFFIN was glad to hear the Bon. Gentleman state that nothing had appeared against Mr. Tulloch, at he had UN. known that Gentleman for forty years, and knew him - to be a most worthy man, The petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUME then moved for dictum of the sums raised for 'Aletage in the city of Westminster, And an IWO= t of the ap promotion of the same. The motion, amended at the suggestion of 3lr. lit s s a •t' o\ • SO as to include the City of London, wits agreed to. STANDING ORDER OF TIIE HOUSE. Lord A. HAMILTON rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice, conceiving that he had a right to, precedence on this occasion. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW spoke to order. He considered the Noble Lord had not the right which he had cluinied, this being an order day. . The SPEAKER directed the Standing Order to hal.ead. The Standing Order was accordingly read by the Clerk : it was as follows Feb. ii, 11.1.23. Resolved, that in the pre seat Session of the Parliament all orders of the day on Mondays and Fridays shall be disposed of before the House will enter tain any motion of which notice has been entered in the Order book." . . . . Mr. Sexjeant-ONSLOIV then moved that the Orders of the Day Should be read. The SPEAEIt said the Noble - Leta .had !vet in possession the House when the Hon. a nd ..Learned Gentleman culled hintto order. Ile was therefore to be regarded 'as still in pus. session of it, and a motion could not be received from any other Hon. Member till the Noble Lord had - sat down. • • LordA. HAMILTON. considered hiMselt in - order till-it could be shown or said that he bad tlone something disorderly. He then reminded the Houlie of the frequent postponements to which he had consented for the geheateonvenience. An. understanding had been come to that, be should have prece dence on this day, and he was content to have the question to be decided by the Gentlethen opposite, and by .them alone,. if the claim which he now put forward was not consistent with the practice of the Muse. Mr. S. WaRTIJE V thought it desirable to adhere to the Standing Order, which bad been framed to enabletheni to get on more expeditiously-with the business of the Seision. Lord CRAN BORNE was desirous that his Bill for amend ing the Game Laws should be • pro,',eeded with. The rule - of the House he was disposed to make the rule of his conduct on this occasion. Mr: Secretary CANNING said the House was placed in an awkward-situation. Undoubtedly it was for the generel con venience that the Standing Order should in most east be strict. ly adhered to. But at the same time, for the accommodation of different parties,. it had often been agreed to (and he be lieved in the course of the present Session), that On an order day a particular motion should take precedence, or vice versa, that on a certain motion day a particular order should be de bated. Ile wits not in the House when that understanding was come to on which the Noble Lord claimed precedence on this occasion, or be might have suggested that it would have been better to fix it for a motion day. But the Noble Lord had so often consented to the postponement of his motion, that he was not prepared to say he , should have refused his concurrence to an understanding which gave him that priority on an order 'day which was now claimed: So far as he was concerned then, though it would be to sanction a deviation from the strict rule of the House, on this particular occasion hia voice would be in fa vour of the Noble Lord. He indeed thought it would he for , the convenience of all parties that - the Noble . Lord being in possession of the House, should proCeed with his motion. Mr. Serjeant ONS LOW said lie had not been aware of the understanding which'had been come to till it was mentioned by the Noble Lord. Lord CBANBORNE expressed a wish that his Rill shOuld be advanced a stage, if it were not then debated. The SPEAKER said he was old enough 'to remember when the Sessional 'Order was first framed, to which referehee had now been made • and he recollected that it was then declared beemany Members, that they would not give •Up the privilege of making a e .motioo without notice, in consequence of the adoption of that standing order. A Member being in posers sion of the House, nothing was more clear than this, that, voile sistently with the rules of the, House, another Member could rot move an amendment till the lbrmer had Made Lie motion, as it was impossible to know what, that motion would be till it was made. In the . presena iattance, till the Noble. Lord made his motion, it was impossible to deride that he was disorderly. He might intend to conclude by moving that the Order of the day should be read. SCOTCH, COUNTV REPRESENTATION. Loid A.HAMILTON then proceeded. He stated it to be one'orhig e ohjecte to induce that !louse 'to pay more attention the,opanien of their constituents than they were accustomed to fl but at the same time he did not on the present occasion acme forward with a general motion of Reform. He proposed to bring 'before them the state of the county representanonof Seettland,: e The Noble Lord entered into a description of the defetta siiiicheet present existed. Ile sheaved it • had been the dpinieneof the late Lord Thurlow, that under the present sys tem Members might be returned in direct position to the wishes : of those whom they were supposed to represent... Such: a state -of things Imperiously called fbr some . change. There were three points to which be was anxious to aadress himself. In the first' place, it was desirable that 'those ree turned to Parliament should speak the sense of the people. Secondly e they ought to have credit for speaking the sense of these whom they represented ; anti, thirdly,. they might to be in sonic degree under the eontroul of their constituents. At present nothing more was known of those who sat in that House for the City of Edinburgh, than that they were chosen by' about thirty-three' persons to represent that City ; and of the Scottish Counties, all they knew was, that a certain number of persons returned those who sat in the House of Commons as county representatives. Ilow, then, he would ask, could they be supposed to speak the sense of the people, or have credit for doing so? went on to spew that the Scotch Coun. ties haft no efficient contvoul over their: representatives.— lie should proceed to spew not only that the evitexisted, and that it had long existed, but that it was in progress of growing worse and worse. Ile begged to ask on what the repreeenta; Lion of Scotch Counties depended ? To him it appeared that it depended on a sheet of paper, which did not transfer more than the value of one penny annually. In England, if a person let out small parcels of freehold ground to forty persons, from whom he received annually the sum of one shilling each, the proprietor would have a forty shilling freehold. If each of the forty persons paying the annual rem of one shilling, pose seated property to the amount of 1,000/. of another desert. tion, the anomaly would arise that the forty shillings would be represented, while property to the amount of 40,000/. would be unrepresented. But still greater arimalles existed iii con nection with the repi•esentation of Scotland. All the County Members were returned by 2,209 voters. lie himself had a vote for five counties without owning an acre of land in any one of them, andit'would be no difficult thing to get a tote for all the remaining counties of Scotland under the same circum stances. The Noble Lord entered into further details on this subject, anti spewed that in one instance the voters for a county were no more than nine, and the largest number in any county in Scotland WWI 240. Front the returns made two years ago the voters on property and superiority in his county amounted to sixty-six, while the voters upon superiority alone were ninety. five. Supposing the latter should choose to vote for one can didate in opposition to the • former, the 'representative would be elected by those who had no land, while the 60 land-ownere would have the right of voting indeed, but with the certainty of their vote proving ineffectual. Was this a state er thin g s which any one could defend, and if it were not, would any one contend that it ought not to be altered ? In the county of Lanark there were 154 voters who had no freeholds, 154 Commissitmers Of Supply, on whom devolved the right of re turning Men - there to that House. In the county of Kirkeud; bright there were sixty-one vote's in superiority alone, and '54 Cninmistiioners Of Supply who had no freeholds. In Scotch representation, those correctives were not to be found which were seats ; to apply to the state of representation in England.— Wthere Were any defect in the representation of boroughs in England, it was said to be corrected by the effect of English councils. Put where was the corrective which applied to the representation of the Scotch Burghs. The truth was, those re. turned were not pratically the representatives of the people, and for the correctness of this remark he would refine to het Honourable Friend behind him, to often erroneously termed the Member for Aberdeen, though he had never slaked any - support from that i plate. Notwithstanding this tart, his Honourable Friend bed frequently been described by thee. who were hostile to !aim as being returned for Aberdeen ; i " t q u ar t n ' o e i b l rl y . et e iln a Y i l e : re i g en n t ,::, Pr ie t u l were i f n a b : eYitiohrutle r sss u sti snickhaw 'political siph he 1 : 11: 11 4 a 4 1 (1 1 311 :1 r U iU h l i e i hi6 10: 6 1: :11E1 founts that ff ' i T . t l n i countiee the proportion of voters to the population was one to tax hundred -and twenty-five, and in boroughs one to seven thousend and upwards. Ile would ask whether this was a fair, PRICE SEVENPENCE: honeat, full representation of the people. He would now. proceed to state to the House a few of the practical results of this system, as displayed at a contested election. Pretioua to the late election for Lartarkshire, the county he had the honour to represent, he was one morning surprised to see an adver tisement in the Paper, of a person offering himself to repre sent the county of Una*. He meant to say nothing disre spectful of that honourable person, bat only to state the facts which occuired. Such was the indifference with which-the right Of repreaentatichi was viewed, owing to the system which prevailed, that this gallant Admiral not only Was net qualified as a freeholder to vote ler the county, but he could not by possibility become so before the election, as he must first hold his freehold a year and a day : The first thing he set about was to get as many paper supenorities al he could, and it being considered a Governthent contest, every person that was as sailable was considered as fair game, and was attacked in all Possible ways. NoW he (Lord A. Hamilton) was not ashamed to say that he acted as others did in such cases. The first step he took was to buy as much superiority as he could, and fo parcel it out so as to make as many voters as he could. Upon the next step he must be a little mysterious. The great daft culty was, after having divided the superiority, to dispoxe of it to such persons as he was sure would vote fur him ; and the means of itecomplialling this formed the mystery to which ha alluded.:--(A laugh.?—But it wall astonishing with what Saga. city a e.k' •otelt Law Agent knew how a Man would vote by his )'hysiognomy.—(A laugh.)---Tor his own part he believed that in not one of those to whom . they sold his . -superiority were they mistaken. He believed there was not one man who did not vote for him. He dared to say thattlie Learned Lord was acquainted with this science, and no doubt practised it upon the same occasion. At all events he knew that he practised it, and should again. lie mentioned these details to the House, to expose the system which-existed. The Noble Lord then went into a description of themethod of conducting county elections, and read a list of the questions put to voters, con tending that they were improper, and incompatible with the freedom of election. The means of carrying elections into effect were not' less objectionable from the power given to the Officers . of the CroWn, and particularly to . die Sheriffs Depute. There was a science understood by ' them, 'of appointing the days of voting for the different counties, in such •a manner as to weaken the strength of the liopular candidate. This had been practised against hint to his great discomfiture, although he eventually succeeded. Yet it was only by a very few votes i whereas, if the election had been- conducted properly and fairly, he 'should haVe had a large majority. One me thod of oppesition was that' of getting lawyers to tall; for the porno:et, :of gaining litile ) or of putting off votes. There could be - no tuljountment of the poll; and it was consequently kept open till the final close. Upon one oc casion there was a vote wanted froni Edinburgh, a distante of sixty miles; and the lawyers engaged ttitalk until a Messen ger went and returned—(A. laugh)—and he believed they sur eeeded;' 'The ' Noble Lent then remarked upon •the difficulty of deciding what was a legal vote. In . conaequence of this di& ficaliy, twerity-fisie different law suits had been commen CM against hiin upoh as many votes, which were alleged. to be bud.. independent.of this power of litigation,- 'appeals were ellewed ; and then all sorts of speculations were matte as to whi c h President and which Court would be likely to have a political bias in favour of a particular party.—t Hear, hear!)—So far was this formerly carried, that before the old ' fifteen, as it was culled, before the fifteen Judges t was as 'well 'known what decision would be come to upoil a political ' vote, as it was Upon a parliamentary' division. Anti evennow; no mite in his senses would think of going before a Scotch Court npoh a cdse of that kind--such watt the political biltii Which' existed. He would Stake his whole character and -reputation upon being able to. sheiv that a political bias on the part of the Learned Lord had operated against him upon the case in 'which he was the pFatiknitgafrfat. the Beacon newspaper: ' While these law suits were Pthdifig; „a-: Petition was presented to the House, and a Cortimitteentight have decided - Who the sitting Member • was, contrary 'id the decision of the Courts of Law. These I were some oldie evils of the system of reruns, and the general : evils, he hail pointed out he called unon a Britieh House of !'Coalitions to remedy. In what he desired to propose to the noilst; it was not his intention to do violence to any existing rights, but to add to the numbers 'of voters, and to soonest the right of voting with landed property. ' lithe House agreed with hint so tar, hi' should leave it to decide what aineutit' of property ishohltffbrAftt tittlaitieOtiOn to (lite. What he shoold think a desirable qthilification would be a hundred pounds Scots, or eig•hty poen& sterling: Ile hail thought it necessary to go intodetails in Order to make out his case, but his wish was to meet the question upon its broad principles. The qq. tent had contributed to forui a sliew of numbers in the majori.; ' ties of the House, in the same way as the close homughs hi the hands of the Crown, and had tended to degrade the• character of 'Scotland to the lowest pitch. The fiery meatiest thing that could be saki. of a transaction was, 'that it was. it Scotch job. The Noble Lord then concluded byanoring his resolutions : -" 1. Thar it appeared hy.ss certified copy of the Roll of Free holdersofvexy .county in Scotland; ais)kat, made up, laid be. ..fore this House in July, 11326, that tite•totainumbers, hissing a right to vote awn:on:tin 41,those ettatAies together did not exceed 2,131iti., .r .. '• - - ' . . . , • . " 2. That by the same return is appears that the greatest number of persons having a right to vote in any one county did not exceed 240—viz. for the county of Fife; and that the smallest number did not exceed 9—viz. for tha county of Cromarty. " 4, That it. further appears, from the same•return, that the persona have a right to Imo in several counties, and cow gamily that the total :number of voters for •all the counties of Scotland is considerably less than 2,809. " 4. That it further appears to this House, that the right of Voting for a Scotch county depends, not on the posse.saion•of the dorninium utile of a real landed estate in that county, but on holding the superiority over such estate, which superiority may be, and frequently is, disjoined from the roperty, inatenuCh that of all the persons qualified to vote for a Scotch county. there May not be one who is possessed of a single acre of land within the county, while the whole of the land may belong to anti be the property of persons who have not a single vete for the Representative. ThatthiS ifnuse will, early in the next' Sessiqn of Par liament, take into its most serious consideration the state. of re presentation of counties in Scotland, with a view to etiect same extension of the number of votes, - and to establish mope e o n. nection between the right of voting and the leaded property of that country." • 31r. M A XNV Id, seconded the resolutions, and said that he could not see the possibility of their being opposed. lie; had often heard the address and skill with which the Right-Mon. Gentleman Opposite (Mr. Canning) contended against evt ry species of reform. Indeed, he considered him to be the only one who had offered any thing like argument against it. Ono of his OM arguments was that the present system worked well. Now, he (Mr. Maxwell) had come to a very different conclusion ; and at least, with regard to Scotland, he was quite sure that the large masa of the people believed, and knew that their interests and prayers never would' be attended to or heard in that House until the system were changed. The Bon. Member then expressed his disapprobation of th! currency measure of 18111, and of the distillery laws of Scotland. 1.7p0n these general questions he felt himself justifi e d i n sec onding the motion. Sri G. CLERK contended that no alteration could be made in the elective franchise of Scotland, unless the Howe was pre.. pared to make a whole change in the tenure of property, and in its municipal laws. The present system was well adapted to the state of society there. It hail existed ever , since Scotland had had a free Constitution, and no complaints had liec=n heard against it from any part of the people. The only ground upon which the present motion was advanced, appeared to him to be, that the Noble Lord and his party 'teethed to try epic ex.. periment of altering the whole law of election in R: nllacrid. Ile was convinced that, under no eyvtent, 'could the landed terest or Scotland be better represented than at present. no Noble Lord had said that he bad no personal interest in this Illation, and he should have thought that such a declaration wait quite unnecessary. Yet almost all the latter part or til‘ Noble Lord's speech consisted of complaints of bis own peraeml suf.. feringa and inconveniences. The Noble Lord sail Out it was not property which was repreeented in , his county, hot that it was only a representative of parchment voter*. lint the fact was, that these voters were ereatcql by the overweening in fluence of certain Noble Families in the county. It was the influence of one Nobleman which, returned the Noble Lord, therefore he was in fact the reprementative of the property of the county. If there were no other objections to die altera tions which the Noble Lord proposed„ the Act of Union with Scotland was a complete bar to them. In the face of that Act they could not alter the Law of 'Election, unless it were tier the purpose of bettering the condition of the people of Scot land, anti unless it were done with their connect and at their desire. The Nobles Lord had failed to show that such an al-
