Petitions were presented by the Duke of Graf ton, from Ipswich, for a Revision of the Criminal Laws; and by Lord Viscoont Shintoist!), from the Corporation of Dublin, against the Roman Catholic Claitns.---;-Orderedlo lie upon the table. The Freight Distribution Bill, the Alkali Duties Bill, the liotkeept4s Bill, and the Quar ter Sessions Division Bill, passed - through Cont. mittees, and were reported without Amendment. ARBUTHNOT AND•AMBBISTER. The Martptess of LatisnowS:a. intimated his in tention of bringing forward a motion, on art early day after the recess, for an Address to the Prince Regent, praying for a communication with the American Government respecting the late trans actions in Florida, and particularly relative to the death of tiro British subjects. He should after wards giv e notice of the day ; Le did not mean, by bringing forward such a motion, .to intimate that there had been any remissness on the part of his Majesty's Government in taking the proper steps which such an occurrence required, hot tie felt it, under all the circumstances, a 'public dilly to call the attention of Parliament to the subject. BANK OF ENGLAND. —FURTHER RESTRICTION OF CASH PAYMENTS. About five o'clock the Cash Payments Bill was brought up front the House of Commons by Mr. Peel and other Members. The Earl of Hastaowny moved the first reading of the• Pill, which immediately took place. His Lordship then, in pursuance of his notice of yesterday, moved to suspend the Standing Ot ders, for the purpose of going through the other' stages of the Bill. It was, he observed,, essen tial to the Resumption of cash-payme nts, by the Bank, that a quant i ty o f treasure should be col- lected at any given time, to enable that Body so , to resume cash -payments ; but ,by diminishing that treasure in payments in the mean time, it was evident, the period' of the general resumption of cash -payments must be retarded, because it must of necessity take the Bank a longer time to col lect treasure to resume their payments generally in specie, it they continued paying in the mean time, than if all intermediate payments in gold svere suspended. It was upon this principle the present Bill was founded. Were it merely that the Bank would have had to purchase gold at a higher rate than they had issued it, that would be no rea so n f or the present Bill, neither, was, there any necessity for the Bill on the part - of the Bank, there being amply sufficient treasure col lected by that body'to discharge all its notes pay able idcash. The motive for the Bill was public convenience, and none other ; the object being to accelerate the period when the resumption of cash payments, which all desired, might take place.— His Lordship concluded by moving to suspend the Standing Orders, The Earl GREY declined troubling the House at any.length upon this sabject. particularly as he stood almost alone in his opinion with regard to the measure now proposed. He must say, how ever, that the impression mad e upon his mind yes terday, on the first opening of the business, had not been altered by any thing that had now been said by the Noble Earl. And ali that had been said by the Noble Bail in recommendation of this Bill, was, in point of fact, a retraction of all that had been said for some time past by his Majesty's Mi nisters,jand a condemnation of the whole finan cial system ,upon which they had acted. • He should tint now, however, attempt to argue the question, but content himself with solemnly pro testing against the Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL protested against the doctrine of the Noble Earl, that the present Bill was a condemnation of the financial measures adopted by his Majesty's Ministers. Ile' should not vow enter into that question, but • when the time came for the discussion, be should he folly prepare(' to shew that the argument of the Noble Ea:l was entirely erroneous. The accuracy Of what lie stated on the preceding evening respect ing the transactions in 1797 having been qUes dotted, he had recurred to the Parli,quentary Re ports of thst period, and found that the objection of Mr. Fox to the proceeding of the Council, went even farther than he (Lord Liverpool) had pre viously stated it. , The Earl Gary said he did not mean to ques tion the accuracy of the Reports alluded to •by the Noble Earl, nor did he on a former occasion mean 10 question the accuracy of those records of what passed in Parliament, any farther than as being impossible to be accurate under the circum stances in which the Debates in. Parliament were taken. It might, however, be -easily imagined that he should not recollect the circwitstance of the objection taken by Mr. Fox, it -being a mat ter of form, at a time when he (Lord 'Grey) was so deeply occupied with the substantial merits of the qoestion then tinder discussion. 'But, how ever great his respect and regard for Mr. Fox, he must still differ from him upon that pOint, it being still his opinion that the most proper course wonld have been to issue an Order in Coitucil instead of having recourse to the present The Marquess of L►Nsnowt,•t3 said, that before consenting to the present tneasuie, he bad been particularly solicitous to establish, fir sr, the dispo sition on the part of the Members of the Coin mittee to revert to the ancient Mild approved stan dard of value, and secondly, the nltallS possessed by the Batik of recurring to that standard - of va- . lue. Being satisfied upon these two points that there was that disposition tit► the part of the Committee, and that the Bank undoubtedly pos sessed the means, it followed that this Bill be came absolutely necessary to the achievement of the object in►view, as without it the fulfihnent of that object must be retarded. 'l'he Earl GREY expressed his satisfaction at what had j►►st bee►► stated- by his Noble _Friend, and trusted that it really was i►:tended to revert to the ancient and approvedstand3rd of value, with- ) out which no other means coi►ld be effectual. The Marquess of LiAlibl;OWNti again spoke as to P the disposition to that efEct, Manifested by the Committee. The Earl of L AUDER D ALE i n ti mated h i s d i ssent from tie decision of the Committee. but felt him- Self precluded by his situation as a Member of the. Conunittee from explainin g his reasons. The tithe' for explanation would, however, arrive at some tnture period. - The Standing Orders' were then suspended, the Bill was read a Second tithe, find the commitment haVing been negatived; it was • read,a rhird time and passed ; and a message s.ent to the Commons stating, stating, that the Elouse had agreed to it without Amendment. The !loose adjourned during pleaStlee. About seven o'clock the Lord Chancellor, -the Earl of Shaftesbury, and the Earl. of Liverpool, took their seats as his Niajesty's Conimissioner.i, when the Commons art endinv;and thef'ornMission, having been read by the Heading Clerk at the Table, the Royal Assent was notified to the Royal, Hou.ehold Bill, the C.sh Payments Bill, the Cheltenham Gas-light. Bdl, and others,, in all thirteen.—Adjourned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS.

TAYLOR. next brought up the Report of the Corninittet l on the petition of the parish of Mary-le-bone, and leave was given to bring in a Bill to tnablu the Vestry of that parish to contract for a better supply of water. Tbr Bill was subsequently brought in and read a first tiwe. LONDON CLERGY BILL. Mr. LAMBTON presented a petition from the parish Of St. Gregory, near St. Paul's Cathedr:ll, praying. the House to' consider their case, and refuse the allowance demanded by the Clergy, inasmuch as this parish had to contribute to the support of the Minor Canons of St Paul's, in addition to very heavy poor rates.—Read, and referred to a Committee on the stibject, Sir R. WILSON presented a similar petition front the pa rish of St. Matthew's-in-thcest (as was uniterstood), which was read, and ordered to be referred to the Com inittee. HAY -MARKET. Mr. GEORGE LAMB presented a petition from a num ber of inhabitants in Westminster, praying' for the re moval of the Hay-market from the Street in which it was usually held. Mr. IIYNG objected to the petition being brought up, on the ground that the Standing Orders had not been com plied with, as the inhabitants had not all been served with notice. Mr. [-I. SUMNER. and Sir C. BURRELL said a few words, when the House t;iviiled,- For receiving the Petition 97 Against it 9l Majority 6 LONDON CLERGY BILL. Dr. PHILLIMORE presented a petition from the inhabit ants of the parish of St. Martin, Ludgate, praying the House to refuse the allowance asked by the London Clergy. He dif fered in some respects from the petitioners, but he was bound to say that the petition was respectably signed. Ordered to he printed, and referred to the Committee. A Message front the Lords intimated, that their Lordships had agreed to the Restriction Bill, &c., and their Lordships requested that the House would consent to sit fur some time longer. • Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that the Houseslvmld con tinue to sit for some time longer that evening —(a laugh).— Agreed to. Mr. PEEL said, he was anxious to correct a mistaken idea of his observations last night, which had gone abroad to the public. I-h. had been represented to have said, that soon • after the present Sessiom, the Restriction Act would cease. Such an opinion had never been given by him, neither should he have felt himself warranted in giving it, if he had done so. He was extremely, anxious that such a mistake should he rec.- tilled, as it was proper to guard the public against false int pressions.—(Hiar, hear !) AIRE AND DUN CANAL BILL. The motion for reading - this Bill a second time was mash!, when a long conversation took place between Mr. Smyth, Mr. Collmrne, and Mr. Stuart Wortley, on the merits of the Bill. Lord Milton :end Sir James Graham bore a part. The Gallery was ordered to lee cleared for a division. when Mr. Stuart Wortley gave his consent that the Bill should be read a second time this day six tuonths. Mr. GURNEY presented a petition from St. Margaret Pat tens, and St. Gabriei, Fenchurch, against the London Clergy Bill. The petitioners stated, that the present Rector had en joyed his living upwards of seventy years—that the deity was discharged by the Curatethat the Rector resided in the county of Somerset—that the value of his living in London exceeded altogether which they thought sufficient. Mr. EsTcourrr presented a petition front Devizes for a Revision of the Criminal La w , A Report from the Commissioners appointed to inquire into .the, public income and expenditure was orde,red to Lie printed • Sir CHARLES MORGAN presented a petition from the Grand Jury of the County of Monmouth against any altera tion in the Law of Settlement. A similar petition was presented from the County of Brecon. COITNTY OF OLNMORGAN. Mr. EDWARDS pi i!sented a Petition from certain inhabi tants and,Landholders of Merthyr, in the County of Glamor gan, Wales, stating, that there had lately been an uncom mon and unprecedehted increase'of population, to the amount of 17,000 persons ; that they were neatly all out of employ ment ; and the. unless some speedy relief were afforded, or sonic immediate means devised, they must all he thrown upon the Parish. The Poor Kates had fur soTe time been incapable of maintainiog their usual number of pope's; but as to this extraordinary increase of population, it was impossible. The Petitioners therefore prayed that the House would take their extraordinary grievance into consideration, and grant the relief requisite. The Honourable ilteinber also added, that if the evil were not checked, it would prove the total ruin of the Land Proprietors of that parish and neighbourhood.—lt was received, read, and ordered to lie on the table. A Petition was presented from Kendal for the revision of the renal Code. Mr. STUART WOR FLEX preseoted a Petition from the Attornies of the Comity of York, praying that improper per sons might not he allowed to practise as Conveyancers. Mr. PARNELL brought in a Bill to regulate the office of Coroner in Ireland, which ‘4s read a first time, and or det eJ to be read a second time on Wednesday the 21st April next.

B enne t, were ordered to be referred to the Committee on Gaols: GUERNSEY. • N. Mr. RENNET presented a Petition from an individual, puttied .11'i!Liam IMiy, a native o f th e C ounty o f K ent, end The CHANCELLOR of Jim EXCHEQUER acknow ledged his obligation to the lion. Member for his observations. Some new arrangement or under standing became necessary, to prevent the con- fusion complained of by the intermixture of pri vate with public business. But no inconvenience could arise from the passing of the Bill now men tioned.- With regard to the new arrangement proposed by the HO!). Member, some understand ing might be suggested soon after the recess: The SPEAKER approved 'of the observations which had fallen from the'f-lon. ,Gentleman (Mr. Brougham). The hitermixrure of private and public affairs had arisen from the vast number of balots, more, he believed, than had ever oe-; curred in any Session of a new Parliament. It ' was obvious, that some notice should be given. to parties out of doors regarding any postpone ment of private business ; and that, from the pressure of affairs after wballot, such a notice had often been found impracticable in time the same evening for those concerned.. After the recess, it was to be hoped s ome ' regu l a ti ons would be more definit ively attended to. After some remarks from Mr. CALCEAFT, Mr. WM. SMITH, and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER, the conversation was dropped, and the Bill was read a first time. CASH PAYMENTS.—(IRELAND.) Mr. C‘. GRANT, in rising to move - for leave t o bring in a Bill to impose further• restrictions on cash payments, said, that the Batik of Ireland hart issued precisely the same notices as those of the Bank of England, which grounds were sufficient to show the propriety of extending the measure of last night to the former Company. The same reasons which recommended the measure here, recommAnied it in Ireland. A further one was, that if such a Bill were not passed for that coun try, many circumstance's might occur 'there to perplex, if not retard, the ultimate resumption of cash payments. He was anxious to have it ex pressly understood, that the present motion had no reference to the solvency of the Bank of Ire-. land—that establishment, from the credit of the individuals composing the Company, and the pro tent management of its affairs, enjoyed the public confidence in the highest possible degree. The Right Hon. Gentleman then moved, " That the House do resolve itself into a Committee, to . consider of the motion." - The question having been put— , Mr. BROUGHAM said, he had heard nothing to make him withdraw the protest be had enterer( against the Bill of last night; on the contrary, all the reasons he bad heard in favour of the latter were / hostile to the'proposed.one. The Right Hot). Gentleman who hird introduced the subject last night, had had the advantage of being a Member of the Select CoMmittee, and of using the autho rity of their tecormnendation in favour of the mea sure lie proposed.; but the Right Hon. Gentleman who made the present motion had nut stated any grounds drawn from that soorce, or from any de sire on the part of the Bank of Ireland. Last night a statement had been made of the great drainage of specie out 'of this country, but the House had now heard no statement of facts, nor' any thing respecting the opinion of the Commit tee. The only ground alleged to-night in support of the nleasure was that of the fitness of m aul.- miry het ween the two count ri es ; b ut that was evidently no reasdn for such a violent procreditig as the present. It the Right Hon. Gent. (the Chan cellor of the ENchequet ) were nowrepared to state generally what had happened this morning at the Bank, perhaps it would justify the call for the dispatch of last night, and be a considerable mo five for agreeing to the motion; because wliat had happened in London might - !lappet' in Dublin. But at present they were called upon'to adopt so important a change, iu , the abscnce . of any state. meat of facts, and ut the opinion of the Com- 'J'lie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that all those who had suppo r ted the measure of last night would consent to that now proposed by his light Hon. Friend. In answer to the Hon. Nlember who I,,id just now Sit dOwn, fte the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could not say that tl,e Wink of England had experienced any in convenience this Oay froth the discussion of last night. It, however, apprehenskins bt further drains vi ere entertained List night froth - the Ban!: of EnJoid, the argument held good so far 'us - re. g4rded the Bill Dow proposed in favour of the of Ireland. Finding that a check was put to the'thains of spec [Nat the Batik of Euislanct, nova 'resident in the island of Guernsey, Complaining of the harii.hips to winch hnglis!inien were subject in that i,lann ;• and of the ill-regulated State of the Gaols there,—debtors, inarefactor, and maniacs, being all confined together.—Or dered to lie on the table. ROYAL ASSENT TO BILLS. The Usher of the Black Rod, after the usual ceremony, ap• peared in the House,' and intimated, that the Lords desired the attendance of the Honourable House, to Witness the Royal Assent given to seeei al Bills•hy Commission. The SPEAKER, accompanied by the Members of the House of Coandons, repaired immediately to the House of Peers. On their retriiii, the SPEAKER stated, the House had been to witness the Royal Assent in the House of PfetTs, by con►ihission, to ieireril Bills, among which were, the Royal HoUsehUid Bill, the Bank Restriction Bill, and several others: On the nintirin.of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER. Sir T. B.

OUttiAlVi did not mean to object to the motion, but merely to notice, that lately there had been great laxity in permitting private busi ness to encroach so much upon the fronts allotted for the discussion of pobiic affairs. It was now an hour and a half beyond the time allowed for private bills, &c. It such encroachments were suffered much longer, there 7 -would be suds mixture of private and public affairs as to perpleX. Members which ought to receive a preference.— Referring to the arduous duties of Ilse Speaker, the Hon. Member expressed his regret that the Rt. lion. Gentleman's paper oltusemorandums (the Orders of the Day) contained sucli:a multi plicity of names as to encumber many things which were often stiffered to.' pass unnoted at the time announced. Some- new arrangement became absolutely necessary, in order to prevent Ilse public business from being postponed to a late hour in the evening.
