The Marquis of LANSI)CiNVN presented a petition from the Chamberlain and two other members of the Corporation of Limerick, prayingle be heard by Counsel against the Lime rick City Regulation Bill. The Earl of ROSSLYN objected to receiving the petition, AS the Corporation of 'iiititerick had already presented.a peti tion to the same 'purpose, and bi ad been heard n the Commit. tee against the Bill ; and now this was a petition of three in dividitalti of the same Corporatidn (not complaining of any in dividual rievance), , :cerning, as he conceived , for the mete pur pose of delay, with a reiteration of the same points Whith had already been discussed. The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved that the petition be rejected t• and the question being put, it was carried, and the petition ~ tas rejected accordingly.

" As many families from European countries have lately re sorted, some to America and New Holland, and others to Georgia and Daghistan, as settlers, his Royal - llighness Abbas Mims, the Prince-Royal of Persia, through the medium of his Minister at the Court of Great Britain, personally 'assures'all those who may be inclined to take up their residence in his " kingdom of Adzirbijan, of which the capital is Tabriz, that, on their arrival in the district of Sauvidgeboulogh, be will im-. mediatelY assign 'to them portions of land, with residences at tached, and every requisite for their comfort and subsistence. —The soil will yield abundant crops of wheat, barley, rice, cotton, and every species of fruit or grain they miry . choose to cultivate; and the natural produce of the country.etereditthat of any other quarter of the (Boise. Besides receiving grants of lands, such settlers shall, as- lung as they reside in' Persia, be exempt from all taxes or contributions of any kind ; their property lid persons be held sacred, under the immediate pro tection of the Prince himself, who further engages that . they shall be treated with the greatest kindness and attention, and, as is the custom of Persia, be at full liberty to enjoy their own religious opinions and feelings, and to follow, without controul or interruption, their own mode of worship. As all travellers who have visited Persia agree that it is the best climate under'l the sun, it is only necessary to state, by way of exemplification, that it is the usual place tit resort for persons whose health has been impaired by a residence in India, and it rarely happens that such invalids do not speedily become convalescent from the change. II is Royal Highness, in issuing his commands to give publi city to these sentiments, is prompted by an ardent desire natu rally to promote the welfare of settlers, and the improvement of his country, which he is convinced from past experi ence wou ld be greatly advanced in knowledge, and materially benefited in every point of view, by a inure extended and familiar inter course with Europeans, and especially with thotie Whom lie has ever felt pleasure in designating his English friends.' " The undersigned, in thus promulgating the views and wishes of his Prince, in obedience to the positive commands with which he has been honoured, scarcely conceives it necessary to offer any observations upon the assurances given in this paper, as the character of his Royal highness is so well tinder.. stood, and has been so duly appreciated by the subjects of Great Britain who have for years been domiciled in Persia, and to which many authors both of that and other countries have added their testimony ; but for the satisfaction of such individuals as may not have the facility of. obtaining information upon this point, the Printed devoted servant, and humble representative, begs leave 'to state, that his Royal Master has ever been characterised as amiable, just, benevolent, and honourable in the highest degree ; though dignified in his deportment, extremely affable, proverbially of a liberal, enlightened; add magnanimous mind ; possessing great intellectual powers, which are nobly applied ; a strenuous advocate for pure morality, and religion without bigotry ; the friend of the oppressed and needy ; uniformly administering strict and impartial justice, but at the same time exercising his high prerogative with the most inelciful consideration • ardent inhis endeavoura cultivate the mind, and improve the condi- Lion of all classes of his subjects, as far as the circumstances in which he is placed will admit : indeed, it may be said with truth, that he is pre-eminently . distinguished for every virtue that is estimable in civilized society, or that Can adorn and dig. nify the monarch or the man. _ - • UCH of the CREDITORS of EDMUND WATERS, Esq., late of the King's Theatre in the Haymarket, as have not yet signed the DEED of TRUST executed by him on the 16th day of March last,. for absolutely securing the Payment of all Debts justly due and owing from him to his Creditors, are hereby requested to call at the OFFICE of Mr. LEAKE, No. ',ICI, Devonshire-street, Port land-place, on or berm the 30th day of July inst., to SIGN the SAME, or, in Default thereof, they will, according to the terms of the said Deed, be peremptorily Excluded from all Benefit to which they would otherwise be Entitled under the same.

THE POLAR EgPEDITION. The importance of this Expedition renders every thing interesting that relates to it; we therefore extract the following gratifyitig pas sage from the last number of The Qrlarterly Review just published, on FRANKLIN'S Journey to the Polar Sea, as it communicates the opi nions of Captain PARRY, which are, of course, entitled to the utmost respect, and which, we presume, are now for the first time presented to the Public through that channel. " In the absence of all intelligence from Captain Parry, it may not be uninteresting to know what his ideas were on the subject of an open sea,_ when there was a continuity of land, and how correctly they fall in with the now ascertained facts ; they are contained in a letter written when on the eve of de parture on his present voyage, It is scarcely possible, on the bare inspection of the map, even in its present state, to doubt the existence of such (the Northwest) passage, and that an outlet into the Pacific is to be found through Behring's Strait. The unsuccessful at tempts we .made during the years 1819 and 1820, to proceed to the westward beyond - Melville Island, appear to me to render it extremely improbable that the passage will ever be effected in that particular parallel. But, in a lower latitude, we might perhaps find a better climate, and a longer season of operations; for, although it is evident that climate does not wholly depend on latitude, but on man) , other circumstances of locality quite independent of geographical position, yet it can scarcely be doubted, that, on any given meridian, north of America, (say 114 deg. W. where we were stopped,) the climate would be much better in the latitude of 69 deg. than in th:.t 0f.76 deg., about which we wintered. On this account I hope to find less obstruction on the mist of America than we lately met with at Melville Island. It may, perhaps be anticipated,, that our greatest obstruction from ice will occur about midway be tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, because the proximity to a permanently open sea is the circumstance which, of all others, may be supposed to temper the severity of the polar re gions. I therefore confidently indulge a hope, that, if lam able to advance one or two hundred miles to the westward of the me ridian at which we stopped, I shall find the climate gradually improve, and the obstruction become less, as we approach the Pacific. ' Our experience has clearly shewn, that the navigation of the Polar Seas is in no way performed with any degree of cer tainty, but by a continuity of land. In this respect, therefore, as Well as in the improiement to be expected in the climate, there will be a manifest advantage in Making the attempt along the coast of America, where we may be tolerably sure that the land will not fail us. The probability of obtaining supplies of wood, game, and antiscorbutic plants, and the chance of our being enabled to send information of our proceedings, together with the comparative facility with which the lives of the Officers ! and men may . be .saved, in case of serious and irreparable acci dents happening to the ships, are also important considerations, which naturally seem to recommend this route.' " Such are the sentiments, in which we (the Reviewers) most fully concur, of that excellent Officer, who is just nos em ployed in putting their validity to the test ; which, indeed, we may Say has been done, as far as Captain Franklin saw the coast. If therp shall have been any difficulty, we apprehend it must have occurred on this side, before getting upon the North ern coast ; and on this part of the subject we cannot do better than quote from Captain Parry's aforesaid letter. Cumberl a nd Strait, the Welcome and Repulse Bay, seem to he the points most worthy of attention ; and one cannot but feel a very sanguine hope that one of these, or perhaps each of them, may aftbrd a practicable passage into the Polar Sea. It must, however, be admitted that, in this respect, the whole en terprtze is tone begun again ; for whatever our speculationsand comectures may be, on looking over the map, we know nothing of those parts which can, in my opinion, justify more than a reasonable ground of hope. that a passage is there to be found. Now, should we enter Cumberland Strait, fur instance, and find it closed by land, 1 believe that the time occupied in its examination would preclude the possibility of doing much more for one season ; so that there is, at the very least, an equal Chance that the first summer may be lost.'

The SPEAKER was summoned to the House of Lords; and on his. return he read the titles of the Bills that had received the Royal Assent by Commission. • . , SCOTCH REPRESENTATION. • ' Mr. ABERCROMBY observed, that on the sth of May laic he had presented a Petition from many thousand persons in Edinburgh, praying a change in the Representation of that City : in consequence df the pressure of hi:knots, he had not been able to bring in a Bill for that purpose in the present Sea. sion, but he now gave notice that early in the next he would move for leave to bring in a hill to alter the representation of the City of Edinburgh. COURT OF CHANCERY. Mr. LEAKE said, that all attempts made in this House with a view to remedy the delays too well known to exist in the practice of the Court of Chancery, having hitherto, from various causes which it was not necessary for him at present to state, proved wholly . unsuccessful, and the evil so generally, and in .his opinion so justly, complained of, having within the last four or five years increased in a most alarming degree, and to an extent amounting in its effects and consequences almost to a de nial of justice to the suitors of the Court, he rose for the purpotie of giving notice, that it was his intention, as early as possible in the next Session of Parliament, to submit to the considera tion of the House two Bills : the one for the furtherance of justice in the Court of Chancery ; for preventing persons dis qualified, or not duly qualified, from being appointed officers, clerks, or ministers of the said Court ; forte better reulation of the several o ffi ces most immediately connected with the prac tice of the said Court, particularly the Master's offices, the Re gister's office, and the Examiner's office; and for appointing a Commission to settle and ascertain the fees to be received at such offices for .the future, for the purpose of creating ti fluid to defray so much of the salaries to be paid to the officers, "clerks, and mini:hers of the Court, itt Relief the fees and emo lumenti now'reeeived by them respectively, as have nat al ready been provided for by the Crown ' under the authority of Parliament or other Wise t the other Bill for the better and more speedy administration Of the several laws relating to bank rupts; anti for preventing per so ns for the future being ap pointed CommisSioners of Bankrupts who are disqtailified, or who are not duly qualified to act aisuch: Mr. BROUGHAM. presented a Petition from Liatt. Isaac Ritchies, who had been reduced to half-pay at the clotte of the Ammiran war, complaining that he only received the small sum of two shillings and twopence per day, while other offi cers of much less standing in the service obtained more than four shillings per day. The same Hon. Member also/Orem:nod a petition from Col. Ucorge 'Williams, a Magistrate of the County Palatine of Lancaster, stating that he had Incorred an expence exceedhlg 400/.,- and had saved the county 3,800?., by proceeding* in the Court of King's Bench to quash certain orders of the Bench of Justice, giiing the Clerk of the Peace a per-centage upon the money employed in repairing and build mg bridges, in lien. of the fees to which he Would have been en titled had those bridges been indicted. The petition set forth other orders of the Magistrates equally illegal, particularly for the supply of theni out of the county rate, of a copy of *sell Act of Parliament printed by the King's printer ; and it prayed that some restriction might be imposed upon the Magistrates in the levy of'connty rates. Mr. BANKES doubted whether any relief could be given; or any retnetly applii, and Mr. BROUGHA. *sated more particularly the prayer of the petition, which di not ask any reimbursement of the money Col. Williams had expended. Mr. F. PALMER noticed the circernstance, that in tan eashife the county rates had been increased flout 16,0001. a year to 40,0001., while in other counties they had been metal- Ally reduced. • The petition was read, laid uptin the table, and an order was made that it be printed. Sir J. SE BR TO H T laid upon the table a petition from Flam: stead; tor a duty on the Importation of Leghorn Hats. At the request of the CUM4CELLOIt. of the EXCIIEQUEIt, Colonel DAVIES cosponed his motion reapecting the mode in which the indemnity money paid by France to this Govern: ment had been expended. The Honourable Member stated that he should not fail to biting the matter forward early in the next Sekdon. The Sessional Addresses tor the Payment of the Officefi of the House were voted in a Connittee, and the Report wet brought up and agfeetl to. The Penitentiary bill went through a Committee.—Third reading to-morrow. MR. OWEN'S PLAN. Mr. BROUMIAM-presented a petition from a great num ber of Mechaniettin . the City of London, praying the House to take into its serious constileration the merits of Mr. OWen's Plan. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman expressed regret to find that a body of the Scotch General Assembly had spoken of Mr. Oven's Plan as being unconnected with any System of religious instruction. Ile begged to say that such was not the fact. At Lanark there were ten ministers of different persua sions, and one of the church, of England. Instead 'of religion being excluded from Mr. Owen's Plan, there were many who raised against it an objection of a contrary nature. The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Law Expenses of Ireland Bill was read a third time, and passed.

But those were so much averse to touching the beam who. were looking after the mote, that they oVerlooked abuses infinitely greater than those which they now arrived at collecting. in consequence of this feeling, their Lordships had not sought for information where they were sure of finding it respecting abuses in the Court of Chancery. lily lion. and Learned Friend (Mr. iVethcrell). who knew as much of those -abuses as any man, had not been examined.—(A 141.4;10—Ono o f .the compiaints against the Scotch Courts was, that much time was lost by their. mode of proceeding.

It was legal for the King to do a number of things, which if done would subject the Aliniaters who eivitied them to an impeachment. 'Nothing was more common than for addresses to be carried up to the Thrime on the subject of various grievance*. What if to one of these the Sovereign should reply, " You do not know Whit is for your own good.

Such a reply though legal, would riot fail to trrodutst a new address, calling for the name of the .Minister who adviied it, and this refused, another address fountipl on that refiteal would follow, till at length an impeachment woad inevitably be resolved upon.

The measure to which he alluded he consi. tiered to have been carried by chicanery, by a quibble on or. der, by , a carrying of rights to excess. All the represtnta. tions in the Report were founded On the supposition titt.t the business of Chancery was ito inbretnied that no one man was equal to the duties of the Lord High Chancellor. The business of the Conn must have indeed greatly increased within the last ten years, to have made two such changes necessary as the one which had been effected, and the one now propoeetl.-- - -. Ten yearit ago the Lord Chance/for had sent dOwn s Rill to that House, but its reception wits such that he had now determined to do the job in another way. Ten years ago he bail procrired the appointment of a journeyman Chancellor, and now, int 1t123, it appeared he wits so worked in the House of Lords that he required the eisistance of A jourileyman Speaker. The coneequence of thus divesting the office of ' Lord Chancellor of the duties heretofore connected with it, • would be to enable the Monarch to confer m situation of "Owe. . e.year on a favourite who had not those riosiliticetions which were lieretotbre inditipeasible to him who was so promottd. As to the case of Lord Shaftesbury, whom King Charles had pat in' office because he will the Minister of his pleasures, for . . aping the gait and ridiculing the manners of Lord Clarendon, • some individual might be appointed who had no just claim to such distinction. The King might name a Lord Chancellor who kneW no more of law than the man in the moon. But this phrase might not convey his true Meaning ; as it was not certain how much law the man in the moon might have. Ile . ' reminded the house of the fears which Sir Samuel Romilly had expressed when the Vice. Chancellor's Rill had passed, and contended that these were ‘now proved to have been well founded, lie had .contended that if that measure passed, it might become the custom to give the office of Lord Chancellor to an individual who was not a great lawyer._ 1 Aye,' was the answer then given, ' but yon will always be sure of a great , lawyer in the House of Lords.'
