Lord RISDEIMALE, after a few prefatory remarks, which seemed to refer to certain alterations vi hich were in the present Bill, rendering it, so fir, dif ferent from that brought in by him last Session, pre ser.ted agreeably to his Lordship's notice, on a for mer evening, a Bill for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors in England. It was lead a-first time, and ordrred to be printed. The Irish Dlil►tia Amendment Bill, the Irish Mi litia #Families Bill, the Temple-bar Improvement, and several private Bills, wero brought up from the Commons, by Sir J. Graham and C. Pt ice,. Alder man Combe, Mr. Keck, and other Gentlemen, and severally read a first tithe. BANK O-F ENGLAND NOTES. Earl Gain , Called the attention of the House to a subject which he deemed of the last importance. Their Lordships must be aware there was a Bill now in its progress through the other Hou3e of Par liament, for extending the powers of the Act of the last Session, respecting the paper currency. He con ceived it absolutely necessary, before their Lordships could be called on to concur in such a measure, that some information should be laid before them, to spew how far such a Bill could pass with sufficient security to the subjects of the country. Under this imprcssiou, he now gave notice of his intention to move to-morrow for an account of the number of Bank notes presented at the Bank of England for payment, and refused on the ground of their being forged. It he learned from Noble Lords opposite that such a motion would be objected to, he should postpone so coming forward until atter the holidays, conceit lug is to b a point of so much Importance, that he would in such a case move for a Sum mons of the House, with a view so insure a lull discu,s'on. The Earl of Ltvnit Pow. not feel it necessary to say more on the present oecasion, train that when the measure referred io came before them, he would be ready to answer his objemioni. With respect to the information required by the Nook Earl, he was not then prepared to give the desired answer. Some communication with those most concerned on the occasion, would be necessary, to learn whether any ohjeCtion was entertained to the produClion of such an account. It he should not be able to give the answer to-mortow, he should .whenever a motion was brought forward on the subject. TOLERATION ACTS. Lord HOLLAND said, he also meant to put a ques tion to the Noble Lords opposite; on a subject, which lie conceived to be of great importance to a very nu merous portion of his Majesty's subjeas. A Noble Viscount (not then in h's place), had brought in a Bill, which the House did not think proper to adopt. Without glancing at the opinions entertained of that measure, he would only say, it was well known the Bill produced a very great sensation in the country. They had seen it lead to such proceedings in the Courts of Law, grounded on certain construaions of the Toleration Acts, as proved very grievous and injurious to a number of individuals. He had heard from report, that it was the intention of Govern ment to relieve those persons, who, in consequence of such constrnaions, were exposed to the penalties of the Conventicle Act, by the introduction of a Bill. He thought that any act of grace best came Irom the Executive Government, and he for one should give his humble support to such a Bill. It was now very near the recess, and the Session was far advanced ; he had therefore to ask whether it was in the contemplation of Government to come forward in the way he alluded ? The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that all he thought it necessary to say in consequence of what fell from the Noble Baron, was, that he understood the subjea was still under consideration in a - judicial quarter. Some communications had certainly been received from individuals, who thought themselves aggrieved by hat had taken place. Whether these were well founded or not, he did nut now mean to consider. Under the circumstances, and in the pre sent state of the question in the yam ter to - wt.ich lie had referred, he thought no other answer comic! be expected from him. Lord HOLLAND briefly repeated his question. Ea►l GREY expressed his opinion, that the sub ject was one worthy the attention of Parliament, The question was .one materially interesting to a great number of persons, and to those who were liable to be affected by the decision in the Court ;A King's Beach. It was highly important to such persons to know whether it was in the contempla tion of Government to afford them relief. The Earl of Liv ZRPOOL spoke in expl.mstion, and observed, that the individuals in question should have the earliest information of what the intentions of Government were upon the occasion. REVERSIONARY GRANTS BILL. On the question for the second reading of this Bill, Earl GROSVENOR said, that a Bill of such a limit ed and temporary nature, only went to trifle with the feelings and wishes of the country. He, there fore, would not agree to the second reading, did he not cherish a hope their Lordships would agree to a proposition he meant to offer, considerably to ex tend the duration of the Bill. The general question to which the measure referred, was one of the most vital importance,and unless a general prohibitory mea sure was agreed to, the Constitution ,of the country would be seriously injured. For his part, nothing should deter him from bringing forward the question, on whatever side of the House he may sit, and he should persevere until, as he trusted, his endeavours were ultimately crowned with success. The Noble Earl then adduced and enforced a variety of his for mer objections against the system of granting plates and offices in reversion—a system which he cen sured as not only injurious in a view of public eco nomy, but clashing with the best principles of the Constitution. He adverted to the recent appoint. ment of Mr. Buller to the lucrative situation of Clerk to the Privy Council, which, according to the admisiiion of the Minister in debate, was a reversion ary grant of a Dumber of years standing. - In this A 11110100jhe filWl tio rendai + on on that Ctn= ti e .,,, ao , or t o s ay he wag not a proper person to fill .the office. He also adverted to the existence W .Sinecure Offices, a system also which he equally disapproved of, and he charaaerited both as twin brothers, whose corrupt influence had long dete riorated the best interests of the people ; they had lived together, and so they should die. Several of the most eminent lights and charatters of the law had from time to time expressed sentiments hostile to the continuance of those sources and engines of corruption, as Sir Matthew Hale, Lord.coke, Lord Harthvicke, and others. The destruaion of the system would, he said, be a day of joy and jubilee to the people. His Lordship concluded by repeating his intention, at the regular oppor tunity, to propose an extension of the term of years in the Bill. The question being put, the Bill was forlhwith read a seconJ time, and commUted (-is we could coiled) for the first Thursday after the access. STATE OF PROVISIONS IN IRELAND. The Earl of DAUNLEY, pursuant to his notice, rose to submit some propositions to the House on this subject. What he meant principally was to call the attention of the House to the distressed si tuation of the poor in Leland, and he felt it his duty to press their Lordships coo-sideration to the real or supposed scarcity of provisions in that country. If he really believed that any actual scarcity of prori sions existed in that country, the inclination of hi. opinion was, that he should suppress the delivery of his sewimenis in public, whatever he may feel, as such may tend to increase, instead of alleviating or removing the evil. But believing as he did, that there etas no actual scarcity, no material deficiency of the necessaries of life existing in the sister island —believing, therefore, that tio immediate danger was to be apprehended, or any thing like a pending famine, at least before the next harvest, he telt nu hesitation in calling their Lordships attention to the subjeCt. In some distrids, aCColding to the best in formation which he could obtain, the peasantry were exposed to all the miseries of scarcity, even nearly to a state of famine. His ioformation, he alloAcd, must fall short of those who had opportunities from personal residence, but he certainly would aver, from intelligence on which he relied, that in certain parts of the country, the high prices, and the difficulty of obtaining support on the part of the .people were truly afflicting. His Lordship then read extracts ham certain letters which he had recently received, in illustration of his positions. Of part of these, perhaps, a Reverend Prelate, whom he was sorry not to see in his place, was aware, and of what the inhabitants of his diocese (we believe of Meath) sutThred in those respects. 'to the miseries of the Iriah peasantry, he conceived no cause operated so powerfully as the facility with which they were en abled to indulge in the immoderate use of spirituous liquors, and to this injurious state of things the dis tillation from grain evidently must contribute. It may he objected to hitn, it ‘sas now too late, as the distillers had already purchased a sufficient quantity for the supply of the year. In answer to this, he would urge, that Government should have looked into the matter earlier. . By his latest intelligence from Ireland, he learnt that oats sold at the immense rate of thirty shillings the barrel. If it were tune that in certain parts of Ireland, the prices of neces saries had risen to an unprecedented height, and if it were in the power of Parliament to apply a rcme dy to counteract the evil, so as to reduce those ex orbitant prices, it was the duty of their Lordships even now so to do. To prevent the farther distilla tion from grain, though not the best, was now per haps the only practical remedy. It Ministers could satisfy him that they had done every thing they could in loch a case, and there were no grounds for apprehending a scarcity in Ireland; he certainly should not press his motion. He hoped their Lord ships would not think that he had come forward on light grounds, or for a trivial object. He would detain the House no longer, but more, in the shape of Resolutions—First, That the present high price of corn in Leland is productive of much distress to the labouring poor in alit country. Secondly, that it is the &Icy of Parliament to adopt such measures as appear to be necessary to alleviate the same. And thiraly, That it is expellent to stop the distillation from grain in Itelaudiduriog thecoutiuuance of the present high prices. On the question being put, The Earl of CLADifiARTY said, he was fully inclin ed to give the Noble Lord every degree. of credit on the score of purity of intention, in his coming for ward on the present occasion ; but it was with much regret he felt obliged to oppose the adoption of the Noble Lord's propositions. Their Lordships were not now to be reminded of the great, the extreme delicacy with which the agitation of all questions connected with the subsistence of the population was attended. They must feel the great importance of having it alleged in so grave a pkce, that the gxecutive Government had neglected its duty on an occasion of such vital importance. But wit hoot the existence of any actual scarcity, as the Noble Lord had avowed his belief, and without which he must contend that any measure'wou4l be injurious, he thought it much to be lamented that the subject was thus brought forward. His information, which he had from the best sources, from almost daily convers ing with persons just art ived, or from letters almost daily received from Ireland, led him todraw very dif ferent conclusions from those adopted by the Noble Lord. There was no danger to be apprehended, or even the appearance of any degree of scarcity tak ing place, at least during the present year in that country; that an universal rise in the prices of grain had taken place in Ireland, was a proposition which he must deny. He had recently perused a written statement of the prices in the principal markets, particularly in the articles of the first necessity, of oats, wheat, and potatoes. In some places, oats were at thirteen shillings and sixpence the barrel. At Bantry, they were at 14s. at one time, and af terwards at 12s. 6d.: on the very same day, they were as high as 255. at the great Mart of Cork. In other parts they were so low as 34.6 d. the stone, while a very different price must be supposed to ob tain at Dublin, especially since the facilities of com munication were somewhat interrupted. The rise, therefore, was far from being univ-:raal, and there existed no apprehension of a scarcity. The pro1:0- sit:ion of stopping the distilleries would not a& as a remedy, particularly now the season was nearly at its close, and the stock in a state, from the processes it had gone through, so as to be unfit for the food of man. The Government of Ireland had earlier r.t(t IhtotriiHtion on tine subjthl tbdi either himself or the Noble Lord, Gild it vtras re prehensible if it did not adopt evtry praaici;ble r-x -pedient to avert, the dangers contemplate.[ by tiie Noble Lord. The principal cause, in his opinioo, for a 1 - se in the prices of graiti in Ireland, was the great exportations of corn lrour that country, and particulatly to Great &hair'. It had been stated that the proportion of wheat imported here troth Ire Lind was about one-tenth ; but of late years, the proporiion, in the article of wheat alone, amounted to one-third of the whole of the British tmorTa tin() ! To this the measure proposed by a Hon. BMt. in another House, greatly contributed, , - He meant not to impugn toe measure, it IN2S Ci advantage not only to Ireland, but to the Empire at large. (Hear, hear from the Marquis of Leul.r.; down). As to ally serious apprehensions 01 a scar city in Ireland, he was far from apprehending any - . The Noble Duke at the head of that Goverimunt did not sleep upon other occasions, and he was no: likely to sluoiber on this. Judging and feeling as he did of the Noble Lord's proposition, he should take the liberty to move "Thai this House do now adjourn." 'Tile Marquis of LANSDOWN took the Opportunity , to offer a few general remarks on the nature and tendency of the alea , ure adverted to, in terms of approba , ion by the Noble Earl, which had been proposed by Right Hon. Friend of his (Sir John Newport) in another place, the effed would be more to qualify and render Ireland a grand granary for supply, and Mimi; an inexhaustible source of supply to the Etupire at large. A system of fre quent and reciprocal commercial intercourse bet weet} the Sister I,lathls, was one, he thought, the most to be wished for, as the system likely to be produc tive of the greatest reciprocal advantage. Viscobnt MOUNIJOT made a few remark; in suppo;t - of what had fallen from the Earl of Clancarty. Ile Earl of DARNLEY spoke in explanation. Lord HOLLAND shortly observed, that from what had transpired on the stibied, he felt it rather diffi cult to understand upon what principle, and reference to the degree of scarcity to he apprehmi ed, upon what ground it was deemed advisable to stop the dis:illeries in England, that would not equally apply to Ireland. Tire question as then regularly put, when the , Earl of CLANCMITY'S motion for an adjournment was carried without a division. An Adjournment till to-morrow, of course, fin-. mecliately took place. HOUSE OF COMMONS. TURSDAY, MARCH 24. Accounts of the sums paid fin the hire of trans. ports, from the 1807, inclusive, to the present time; were presented by Mr. Perkins, and ordered to lie on the table. WEALD OF KENT CANAL. The report of the Weald of Kent Canal Bill W2S taken into further•consideration. Sir E. KNATCIItitILL spoke at some length against the Bill, and concluded by moving as an Arnctcl - that " As the Standing Orders of the House, as tar as relater; to giving notice to the Owners and Occupiers of Land, had not been complied with, the Report should be taken into consideration on that day three months." Mr. CALcRArr opposed the Amendment. • . Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the ga'- lery was cleared for a division. We understami that S+r E. Knatchhull offered to withdraw his Amend.. meet, but was not permitted by the House.---- The question teas then put, the Amendment Lived . without a division, and the Bill ordered for a third reading. A meisiige from the - Lords announced their Lord,hinst assent to certain bilhf.—For which see the Lords. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. The Order of the Day having been read for the attendance of Mr. Hiodsnu and Mr. Campbell, Robert Campbell was called in and ex.amilied. In answer to the several flues - nuns which were put to him, he stated that he had had an mete, - to at tend a Caminittee of the House of COCIMIOOS ors Monday (which order was here read). He hdd been kept • front attending by an arrest. He was wrested in his own house. He had left it to attend the Committee; but recollecting that he hfjci paper behind to which he should have occasion to letet, he had returned to get it, when he was told. that lie vas wanted up stairs, and on ,g,ing up, he, found the Officer, who wrested him. He shewed him the order he had to :mend the Com`mittee, and told him that he conceived that was a proteaion to him, but to no purpose, as the Officer answered that he must go with him. He (thc Officer) clam took him to a lock-up house, whete he (the wit ness) remained, while the Officer, whose name - wa4 Hindson, went to make inquities. He (the wit ness) lived at No. t, Waloot- place, Lambovh. lii bad left his house at about a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning. He passed the Horse• guards at five tninutes after t welve, when, re colleding that be had not got with hint a docu ment which would be nece,sary, he crossed the.. bridge to his own hope, where he arrived at about twenty minutes after twelve, when the arrest took place. Mr. WILSON rose to state why he apprehended his arrest ought not to be cousidcrcd as a breach of he privileges of the Howe The SPEAKER, said the House could attend only to tads at present. The statements of e.,,ch party must heard in the first instance, to put them in possession of the means of forming a judgment on the colour of the transatition it would then be for the Hot). Member to offer his arguments. The Officer who had arrested Mr. Campbell (,dr. Hindson), was then called in, and examined. Mr. Hindson stated himself to be a Sheriff's Offi cer. He had arrested Mr. Campbell, at No. 1, Walcot-place, Lambeth, at twelve o'clock, on a Special Capias, for debt. Mr. Campbell had shewn 6 -him a written paper, which paper desired his at tendance ta;.-ttore a Committee of the House of Com mons. This Mr. Campbell had told him he con ceived to be a protedion. The witness had never seen such a paper befbte, and knew not what credit to give to the assertion of Mr. Campbell, as there were two defendants to the writ, Robert and John Campbell, and ire knew not for which of them the order might have been intended. He , (the witnes9 then walked with ,Mr. Camp bell to Blackfriars-road. He then procured a special iness.livr to go to Mr. Cao;pbeil's Attorney
