Some other Judgments were given in Amteals. • The Royol Assent was notified by Commission to the Insolvent Debtors' ISIII, the Insolvent Debtors' (Ireland) Bill, the Charitable Fonds Bill, the •Still Fines (Ireland) Bill, and a number of others. • The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCFI.- Loa, the Mirquess Ot WINCLUEsTER, and the Eorl Of SHAFTEsBURY, The Churches Building Amendment Bill was returned from the House ►+t Commons by Mr. Brogden and other Members, w►th the Amend ments agreed to.

Adjourned till to- mot row (i h's day ) HOUSE OF COAIIIONS. Mr. HANCOCK (from the' Navy Erize Office) presented Accounts of Fees paid on Navy Prizes. Ordered to lie on the table. SCOTCH BURGHS. Lord A. HAMILTON brought up the Report of the Committee on the Royal Scotch Burghs,which was ordered to lie on the table. Lord A. HAMILTON moved that the Report should he pi inlet!. Mr. K. DouGLas objected to the•motion. He wished , the printing postponed till the next Session. Mr. KENNEDY thought it would appear most extraordinary if the course recommended by the Hon. Member were adopted, as it would seem to throw discredit on the Committee. He could not see what object the Hon. Genileman hail in view, when he opposed the printing of the Report. He was ot opinion it ought to be printed without delay, Lord A. HAMILTON, neither as an individual nor as Chairman of the consent to the proposed 'delay in the printing of the Report. Mr. Hums supported the !notion. Mr. K I)UGLAS was about to speak, when The SPEAKER interfered, by reminding the Hon. Member that he could not make a second speech on the same questton. Lord BINNING, to give his Hon. Friend an op pot tunic y of expressing his sentimeuts, moved, as an amendment, " that the House should take the subject into consideration early in the ensuing Session.'' Mr. K. DOUGLAS entered into a detail of the proceedings of the Committee. lie had not ex pected that any Report would he made in the present Session. Some of the witnesses had been examined in a hurried manner ; and while the Report stated their inability to inquire into the allegations of the petitions, they went so tar info the subject as to give an impression that those al gations were true. To send forth such a report was to prejudge the question. Mr. ASERCROMBY thought the course pursued by the Hon. Gentleman was one that was perfect ly novel and most inconvenient, and one that might lead to much practiCal injustice. His ar gument went to call on the House, in utter ig norance of the circumstances of the case, to throw discredit on the proceedings of the Committee, on the mere authority of one of its members.

GRANT wished the Report to be printed i h the evidence. The latter, he was sere, would jestity the former. . Lord BiNNtNO defended the course pursued by hie Hon. Friend. He (Lord Ilinolog) had heard from Members of the Committee that some of the exeminationshaCl been hurried.--(Cites of " name, name.")—Wheu he knew what right any Hon. Member had to call upon hint to do so, be would comply with the call. At present he would not name those who were absent, but he could easily prove that be had advanced. As he had only brought forward his motion to give his Hon. Friend an opportouity of being heard, he would now withdraw the amendment. Mr. Staccato spoke to the merits of the Com mittee, and the impartiality of its Cheirman. Lord A. HAMILToN said, the Noble Lord had grossly misrepresented the Commitee, but he thought the House would feel that. He thought those Members of the Committee who were pre sent were as competent to describe its proceed ing as those who were absent. It was said that the evidence had been taken in a hurried manner; but On this ground he would contend that no blame attached to the Committee. • Lord IitNNiNG, said he had been crossly misre sented when he was accused of grossly misrepre senting the Committee. Ha had merely spoke iu vindication o f hi; Honourable Friend, to prove that other Members as well as him con sidered some of the examinations to have been hurried. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the report ordered to be printed. _ Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from NEW WRITS. New Writs were ordered for the Boroughs of R.

H. HoTcrwssoN presented a petition, sigued by upwards or 5,000 poor Manufacturers, Tradesmen, and Labourers in the City of Cork. At the Meeting at which this petition was voted, several thousands of persons were assembled, yet the greatest order had prevailed. The Chair had been taken by a poor, but respectable man—a working Carpenter. Some apprehensions had been entertained that disorder would ensue, but the peaceable and loyal demeanor of all present bad stet iced the warmest praise. They had re solved to petition the House to take their grie vances into consideration, and if possible to afford them relief ; and they called i►pon others to imi tate their example, by peaceably and.respeetfully applying to the Legislature for the same purpose. He hoped a petition so framed, would be received with kindness, and that ;Ministers during the re cess would take the case of the petitioners into their serious consideration.

Dr. PHILLIMORE, alluding to the precedent of the Shaftesbury case, moved that the Speaker do not issue his warrant for the election of a new Member for the Botough of Barnstaple, till four teen days after the commencement of the next Session of Parliament. Mr. BERNAL moved as an Amendment, that the Lords' Journals be searched, with the view of as certaining what proceedings had been adopted by their Lordships, relative to the Barnstaple Election. After a few words from Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Amendment was , withdrawn, and the motion agreed to. Mr. R. GORDON, referring to the grant for the Cobb of Lyme, observed, that no Bill had been introduced to regulate the application of this grant. He trusted, however, that as it had been intended to introduce a Bill, that the money applied cntl . fortitabiy ta the intiiplid pro visiout of life Tie CHANCFLLoR t 1).

H. Ley, Esq, First Assistant. Clerk of the House To John Rickman, Esq.

TO George Whitham, EN. for conducting the Correa . fiondence of Education Committees... To N. Carlisle, Esq. as salaries of Eight Commissions of Charitable Foundation Ti John Smith, Esq. as Chairman of the Committee on the Bankrupt Laws, to defray the expeoces of the Committee .. B5O The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on this last sum being moved, observed, thrt there were only a few cases in which the House had defrayed the expences of such Committees, and that the precedents for such votes ought to be very cau tiously adopted. Mr. Hunts moved, that an humble Address be presented to the Prince Regent, praying tha a sum not exceedihg 20001. should be issued by his Royal Highness to dettay Ole expences of wit nesses attending the Committee on the Svoteh Boroughs, and that the House would make good the stun. Mr. LONG observed, that the House could hardly be exl►ected to agree to this vote, as it bud no weans of judging how far it was necessary or reasoi►able. Mr. Hume said, he made the motion in the ab sence of the Noble Chairtnin of the Conomitiee (Lord A. Hamilton), and that hr understood the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not object to it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that as the witnesses in question had been summoned from a great dist:nice, dud put to considerable ex pence, and as they were examined on public grounds, and not merely to prove the allegations of their own petitions, he did not object to this motion. Mr. BATHURST remarked on the danger of esta blishing precedents for such votes, and thought some rule ought ,to be established as to the cases wt,ielt such grants should be made. Mi. HUMP explained. Mr. CitithtiFELL observed, that the,practice of employing ,elicitors on Committees, and then eonring - to the House for remuneration, was• likely to be too touch resorted to. Sir J MARJ taiasrixs said, that a very unne cessary expence had been occasioned by biinging witnesses from great distance, who wet e only ask , d ne or two It alin e ; questions. Atter a tew words horn Mr. Douglas and Mr. J. I'. Grant, the . motion as agreed EMIGRATION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, lie rose for the purpose of proposing to the House a Grant, to be appopriat emi to an experiment which be thought must appear to the House, tin der the present circumstances of the country, to be very desirable. in the state of our population there was so great a number of persons %% holly destitute of the means of subsistence from the want of employment, and who might he disposed to emigration ; that it seemed advisable that some facilities should be afforded to them by the Go vernment, to enable them to establish th,mselees with the prospect of considerable advantage in the colonies of time country. The attention of those who were disposed to emigration had been principally directed to Canada and the !Jolted States of America. But it appeared to his Majesty's Government, that time Cape of GOod Hope afforded extraordinary advantages to emigration. Those who went to Canada or the United Suers re claire(' a considerable capital to enable them to subsist t.ll they had the means of preparing the earth for the put poses of agriculture. But at the Cape of Good Hope, from the rare excellence of the soil and climate, an emigrant was able to settle with much less expellee than in any other colony_ It vas particularly adapted for flocks and herds, front the richness of time pasture. At one station (Saldanii Bay as we understand), a settlement had already been made, and a town built, under the most favourable auspices. He would not enter into a detail of the various regulations which it was intended to adopt on this subject, as expe rience ditected improvements in the arrangements which would be made from time to time. Direc tions had in the mean time been issued to the Secretary of State to give information to persoes desirous of emigrating to this quarter, of the faci lities which it was intended to afford to them.— A free passage to the colony was to be given ; but as it was indispetisible that every emigrant should have a small sum of money to enable him to defray the first expences of settling, in order that this might be secured, each person who de sired to have a free passage must deposit a small stun at the Secretary of State's Office, to be re paid on landing at the . Cape. Persons who might choose to avail themselves of this advantage, would settle there with the most advantageous prospects. He concluded by moving an Address to the Prince Regent, praying that his Royal Highness might give directions that a sum not exceeding 50,000/. should be placed at the dis. posal of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, for the purpose of affording facilities to persons desirous of emigrating to the Cape of Gootl Hope.
