The house bold will be dressed in sky•biue coats, richly em broidered in gold, and stationed in the hall, the grand stair-case will be decorated with all sorts of natural flowers, laurels, &c., and illuminated wi , h rich diamond-cut lustres. The two prin cipal drawing-rooms are fitting up with uncom mon elegance for dancing; they will be most bril liantly illuminated. The chimney-pieces are or namented with bronze figures, candelabras, vases, anti elegant clocks. Round each of the apartments will be arranged wimerous pots of the choicest flowers. Over the vestibule facing Portland-place, is erected a temporary tent, de corated with garlands of flowers, laurels, &c. in n•hich the band will be placed. Over the vestibule in 'Weymouth-street is erected a si milar tent for another band, for the adjoining ball-room ; the floors of each are classically painted, representing figures, flowers, &c. with fanciful borders. The third room is fitted tip with unique elegance, where the .11nctiess will receive the company. Adjoining is another apart ment most superbly fitted nip expressly for the accom modation of his Royal Highness the Palsice RE GENT. On the terrace behind the house, is erected a large temporary room for refreshments, con sisting of ices, tea, coffee, and frost, with another apartment, where an elegant collation, consisting of every delicacy and rarity, will he prepared.— The three principal dining-parlours are sppropri. :tied for supper, in which covers will be laid for 150 persons ; the principal one is for the ReGENT and the Royal Family ; the two oti.er supper rooms will be replenished.

PRESENT FROM THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. The finest service of china ever imported into this kingdom arrived from Hamburgh, on Wed nestimy last, as a present from his Majesty of PRUSSIA to 0111' ffillStriMlS IVELLINGTON. 011 Thsiredliy last the same was escorted to Apsley House by a party of Officers belonging to the Customs, attended by three Prussian Offi cers. Yesterday a proportion of these glitter ing ornaments were set out in the great ban quetting-room for the inspection of the Duke and his friends. In the centre of a most superb pla teau, emiched with exquisite or-mole appeared a triumphal column (an obelisk), containing an inscription, giving a slight outline of the gallant Hero's achievements, magnificent vases, pedestals, and figures ; dis Les, tureens, ice-pails, plates, &c. all detailing the numerous exploits of Bri tish valour. One piece represents the Duke mounted on his white charger. Every article is superbly gilt with massy gold, intermixed with garter blue, white, and red colours. Every plate is different, coniaining figures, land scapes, or public edifices in Spain, Portugal, &c. Flags, and °diet military insignia, appear in ap propriate situations. The paintings are match less, bring the combined work of :he artists of almost every country. PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, DEC. 14. • ------- . The Malt and Pensions Duties' Bill was read the second time. SEDITIOUS NIEiT.TINGS PREVENTION BILL, This Bill was biought up trim the Commons by Mr. kVALLACE and other Members, for their Lordships' concurrence therein. Towaida the close of the Sitting, The Earl of LtrEaroot. moved the . fir'st reading of the Bill, which rook place accordingly. 011 moving tor the printing of the Bill, he ob served, that he should propose, if the prints were then on the table, that the Bill he read the se cond time on Thursday. On that day, however, as one or two of his Noble Friends, who wished to be present at. the discusiiun, would probably bennable to attend, he meant to propose that the second reading merely should take place ; and if the Noble Lords opposite entertained no objection' that the discussion upon the principle should take„ place on the followin g (lay (Friday) on the ques - = - tion for going into the Committee, and if that debate should be protracted to a late hour, that the clauses of the Bill should be discussed in a Committee on Monday. Lord HOLLAND observed, he should be sorry To stand in the way of an arrat , gementof the kind, if it suited the convenience of NobrelLords, on the understanding, however, that-the discussion on the principle of the Bill should take place on the question for going into the Committee. •. The Earl of LlVERPOOL—Certainly, on the un derstanding that the debate on the principle should take place on Friday, and that on the clauses on Monday. The Marquess of LANSDOWN bad no objection to the proposed arrangement, and added he felt no wish to delay the consideration 61 the measure, as he believed every one must feel, that if the measure were necessary, it was of great import ance it should pass without arty unnecessary de lay. On that ground Ite felt satisfied at becom ing a party to the proposed arrangement. The Bill was then ordered to he printed, and their Lou dships Adjont ned till to/morrow.

COTTON FACTORIES' AMENDMENT BILL. 111 r. FINLAY brought up the Report of the Cot ton Factories' Amendment Bill, which was re committed; and some verbal amendments having been made to the clauses, the Report was re. ceived, and - the Bill ordered fur a third reading to morrow, Tile House went into a Committee on the Pen ryn Bribery Bill. The elause4 were agreed to, and the Report ordered to be received to- morrow. The LORD ADVOCATIS of SCOTLAND was iln derstood to give notice, that he would wove for leave to bring in a Bill, on Thursday nev, for regulating certain proceedings in the Court of Session in Scotland. Mr. HARVEY, observing Gentlemen in their places ou the Treasury Bench, was desirous of asking whether the House was to expect any Re port from a Board of Inytiry, which he believed hml been sitting now two years, for the purpose of inquiring into the transactions of the Com missioners of the Board of Excise and of the Customs. Mr. LIiSHINOTON acknowledged the truth of the Uonon I able Gentleman's observation as to existence of such a Board, and he believed it was intended to lay some Reports from it on the table. Air. HARVEY stated his intention of making a motion upon theso Papers, When they should e~iprAr, Mr. Serjeant ONscow postponed the notice which he hid before the House to the first Wed nesday in February tiext. ARMY ESTIMATES. I,nrd PALMF.as - roN laid on the table the Army Estimates for the year 182.0,and gave notice ot his intention to more, on Fr►tlay IleXt, for a vote on account upon them, in which he slatrd he should be tollowed by his Bight Hon. Friend the Secre tary of the Board ot Ordnance. Mr. TIERNEY inquired whether these Papers contained a statement of the number of men that would be required to be raised for the service of the ensuing year, and also of the expellee incur red, and saved, in the calling out of the Out- Pensioners of Chelsea Hospital. Lord PALMERSTON observed, that the present Papers did not go into the details of the question, which would hereafter be presented to the House, but he thought they contained sufficient intorma lion to warrant his asking a vote on account. Mr. TIERNEY was 1101 diTosed to think that the Noble Lord would be justified in asking any such Cute, unless he gave infolmation to the House of the defni►e number of men to be raised for the service of the period he claimed it upon. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF BOROUGHS. Lord J. RUSSELL was sure the House worth! give him credit for participating in those feelings of anxiety, which must he felt by all vho impose on themselves the painful and invidious task of bringing fors and to its notice defects in its own Constitution.—(Hear, hear !)—Those feelings were by uo means lessened in considering the great changes which had taken plaice in the state of the country since the close of the last Session o f Parliament, when he first proposed to bring forward his present motion. It was impossible not to perceive that the extreme irritation which At present existed, was owing, to two parries in t h e country—one of which persisted in its totea sonablee demands, whilst the other did not scruple to rctnrn to theca an absolute denial; the one [PRICE SEVENPENCE. party demanding the unqualified cession of the rights and privileges of the other, and wishing to throw into oblivion what its ancestors had shed their blood tor, in order to obtain a temporara security—whilst the other seemed as firmly deter mined to keep possession, as their forefathers had been to procure them. This party had in the out set received the sanction of a person whose Dame was at least a great authority in that House. In the year i 782, when Mr. Pitt proposed in the Opposition a measure similar to the one he had the honour of introducing to their attention that night. he recommended to the people to turn their eyes inwards in order to discover it there was not some radical evil in the existing Constitution. Thence arose t variety of visionary theories on the subject Parliamentary Reform, which, how ever, did not the less make it the duty of Aleut bers.to propose amendments to the Constitution, which, as Mr. Pitt stated, the growing influence of the Crown made necessary. An Englishman who would compare the present state of his coun try with what it was twenty years ago, would fitnl there were more radical errors in its Constitution than existed at that period. If such evils were in existence at that time, as we had from high au thority was the case, it was a natural conclusion that those evils having continued in an tiocurbed course op to the present day, roust have increased in a proportionate ratio with the times. Althourli the authority he had gaoled was a powerful wea pon iu influencing opinion in that House on some occasions, he confessed he did not expect it would carry much weight on the present. One party was for leaving the Constitution like temples which the Goths found covered with cobwebs, and SP much in want of repair that they were in danger of tumbling to pieces uod , r the efforts of their renovation--whilst the other would apply to it the remedy of a firebrand. He should endeavour to steer between these two. The principle lot was desirous of inculcating was, of gra t 'tug Repre sentatives to large towns and commercial places, which contributed more largely towards the prosperity of the country than ounierous boroughs which already possessed them —On examiuing history as to the soundness of this principle, of continual change in the Constii otion, would be tumid that it was virtually acknow ledged. It would also be found that it was customary in former times to extend the pri vilege of sending Representatives either by King's Writ or by Act of Parliament to any Borough or District, as it might happen to rise into import ance. The instances of this having been done by King's Writs were so numerous, that he wonl4 not detain the House by an enumeration of them. Instances of the latter description would not be unknown to those who had read the immortal speech of Mr. Pitt on that subject. The Noble Lord then went through a variety of instances on record, in which counties and towns bad former ly suffered manifold evils and privations, which had been remedied by admitting them to a share in the representation of the country. He parti colarly referred to the Acts 341,1) and 35th of Henry the Eighth, and he would call ono,' any Member who should say that to grant representa tives to a portion of the nation was contrary to the laws and th e C onst i tut i on , to point out the Act of l'arliameut which made it so. He did not expect to find a want of precedent urged as all argument against 1)18 motion. The House had found it necessary to interfere in the cases of the Boroughs of Cricklade and of New Shoreham. The House was perhaps not aware of the mode practised by all the special Boroughs in cases of Geeeral Election. The practice was to send a Deputation to the Accomptants of the Treasury, which immediately produced a Member o illii g t o support their measures, and paid the price asked.— (Hear, hear !)—Tltis was the case with the most respectable of these Boroughs. In other cases, when individuals were found ready to spend large sums of money in order to obtain a seat in that House, it was from motives of a particular anti personal nature. Sometimes it was to pay a debt which they owed to Government, sometimes in order to be able to procure paymeht of a debt due by G• vernment ; and sometimes, in order to re lieve their poverty, by getting into place.—(llear, hear !)—What respect, Oleo, was due to the mea stile( passed by that House, the majorities for which were obtained by the votes of Members ,e ho invariably supported the Minister of the day? What could be thought of men thus exercising all the powe s of sovereignty, without even that small security . which , re had in a despotic sove reign —the tear of public shame ! Their names slid not appear it, the list of votes, and if they did, what would it signify to them ? Thus, with all the enjoyments of power, they had all the im punity of obscurity. The Noble Lord seem into a detail of the inerect4e in population, and conse quent importance which hail taken place since the disposing of the tight of representation ; amongst which he enumerated Manchester, Birmingham, Halifax, Sheffield, and Leeds. It Might be said that the Members for 'the counties was a suf ficient representation ; but Gentlemen who heard hint must be aware that the interests of County Members was widely distinct front that Of the unrepresented (OWII3. When Re form bad been discussed in 1782, it was thought to be an adequate answer to what was urged in behalf of those towns to say—Whyte ere your petitions from Manchestfr ? front Sheffield ? from Birmingham ? The argument now, he ap prehended, would be very diff:rent. It must now he said that these places had been too clamorous for Reform. Bo: lie would beg the House to con sider what their true situation was. They could not look on that Howe as expressing the image of the people. He now came to that part of the Oder of the D,y which called upon•the 'House to stoosijer how Ctrl the diffcrent ityverr,s of Itcforin *), IN ...... AnASES.
