CIVIL LIST BILL. The Earl of Liveaeooe moved the third read= ing of the Civil List 13111. Lord Werra, in pOrsuance of his notice, rose to move an amendment in the Bill, in order to prevent the application of any part. of the amount of the Droits to the' purposes of the Civil List, &c. without the consent: of Parlia ment having voted a specific sum for the prposes of the Civil List, and which Bill proceeding upon the agreement that such specific sum was the whale amount that was necessary; he thought it utterly inconsistent with that declared object that the disposal of the Droits should be subject to the discretion of the Crown. He confined his object to this, it being his opinion that in other respects, viz. the claims of captors of neutrals, &c. the disposal of the Droits were best left to the Crown, instead of being subject to the vote of.Parliamenr. His Lord,hip concluded by mov= ing to leave out "certain words, in order to intro duce others to give effect to his'arnendment. The,Earl of Livaupooe deprecated the intro duction of any amendment tending to throw a suspicion on the Crown. After the fair use that had been made of the Droits (aiibout any per sonal feeling or poli.ical partiality), and after a clause hid bten, for the firs! tiale, introduced for the purpose of laying the accounts of these funds aueually before Parliament, and more especially when it was recollected that no. al ipsdation had been made respecting these Droits in any preced ing reign, though the stitject must have been un der the cognizance of Parliament. As to the Droits of Admit Pity, they were now nothing; but in time of War it was of the most essential trripertalt7e..th,c the - 'I ival of them should h e e,sted being many cases of allowances to neutrals, or even belligerents, which it vso u d be utterly impossible to brief; before Par liement, but which, in some instances, might serve to prre‘'ent a war. No case whatever had been made out to skew that the slightest neees 'itthrowing any Suspicion upon die Crows, existed otii%vi for thr Suspi cion egard to the distribution of these fonds ; and as the annual account directed to he laid before Parliament was, in fact, &complete cheek upon any misapplication, he should there fore oppose the amendment. Lord ELLRNBottOpGFI regretted that they were not then'employed in•passing a vote of thanks for giving up these Droits to the contruul of Parlia ment. He said ttLis because he wished the King 'to be the most popular man in his dominions, convinced os he was 'that a British So'vereign could 'only be happy in being popular. The D oits of . Admitalty producing now little or nothing, nor being likely to produce any thing for some years to Come, the sacrifices would be trivial, whilst the effect would be great upon popular opinion ; but even were. the produce as considerable as it had been, it would be highly desirahle to give it up,, to . entture the good opinion of the people. He wait aware that the allowances to eaptors, &c. ola of this fund, wele much better left to the disposal of the Crown, Ott to be voted by Parliament ; all his object was, as it was that of the Amend ment moved by the Noble Lord, that the surplus should on!y be applied under the cOofrout of Par liament. It was, in tact, quite contrary to the principles of the Constitution, that such a sum as might be, and had been produced by these Droits, 'should be at the disposal of the Crown and he must consider it a great over,ight of :he Parliament at the commencement of the late reign that they had so lett it. Constitutionally speak ing, indeed, of what tile was the controul of Parliament over the supplies with regard to mak ing war, if the Sovereign had an interest in,going to war, like a ;:irate, for the producing .a large sum in Droits ? He should, therefore, support toe Amendment . The House divided on the question, that. the words proposed to he left out stand part of the Bill. • Contents Nua-Contents Piesent, IS ; Proxies, 3-21 Majority 6O The amendment was therefore negatived. On our re-admission, we found Lord ELLEN BOROUGH ,in his legs propOsing a clause similar in effect to the amendment of Lord Datre, purport ing that the I)ruits should nut be applied without the consent of Parliament, except to allowances to captors, 4e. &c'.—Tbe clause was negatived. An amendment was agreed to, moved by the Eall of LimPoot., for correcting a miscalcula tion made in one (If the. Schechiles.

ESSEX QUARTER SESSIONS BILL. Thisßill, which has for its object the division of the Quarter Sessions between Colchester and Chelmsford, was' read a first, and sitcond time. In the Course of a short conversation which took place respecting it between Mr. Wildman, Mr. D. W. Harvey, and Me: Western, the two latter Gent!einem declared their intention of opposing the Bill in its future stages, as it was contrary_ to the wish of the majority of the Magistrates and Inhabitants of the County of Essex. TRANSPORTATION OF SLAVES. Mr. BROUGHAM brought up a Bill for enabling certain Planters in the Island of Antigua to remove a certain number of their Slaves from that Island to the Continent of South America.—Read s 1 first time. EDucAnoN commyrrEE—SCOTCH JURY COURT. Mr. BROUGHAM stated, that a part of the Education Digest was already in readiness for delivery, and that the re- Attainder would be in the hands of every Member before the time which was fixed for bringing in his Bill respecting the Education of the Poor. He had also to put off his motion which stood for to-morrow, respecting the Scot s Jury Court to Tuesday, '2OO June, which was tie fir.t open day he could and. The reason for his doing so was shortly this-4t appear, d that tits motion hnd been treated after the manner of a private Bill, and that pripited statements had been circulated among Mem bers by the persons who conceived themselves to be concerned. It was therefore necessary that the Members should have time to ascertain the real state of the case, and that the flf , use should not be taken by surprise on this, as it had bet it on a former motiorrou the same subject. He understood a great mistake had gone abroad in the supposition than his motion was levelled at fiarticular persons, not Members of his Majesty's Government, but holding judi c i a i offices. He wished to state, that his motion had nothing to do with those individuals, and that he had not intended in the course of hit speech to mention or allude to them. Cl Y PETITIONS. Mr. Sheriff ROTHWELL appeared at the Bar of the House with a Petition from • the Curtin - Imi Council of the City of London, praying ror Pitrliain?ntary Refot Lll.—rhe Petitnnt was read, ()Tarred to lie on the talkie, and to be printed. Another Petition was tiresented front the Common Conneil against the Grand Junction Canal BM- AFRICAN SETH, EIS! EN rs. A Petition was presented from the African Company, pray. ing for a grant of 50001. Mr. R. GORDON hoped this would not pass as a mere matter of course, but that Ministers would submit some question to the House in a form which should bring the ex• pences of the Establishments on the coast of Africa under its consideration. It was an opinion that the Company was ex ercising a sovereign authority for commercial purposes, rather than fur the civilization and improvement of the country; and it was expedient not to grant money without ascertaining whether his were or were, not the case. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,' that the present grant was to repay past arrears, under the sane. titin of Parliament, and on the report of the Admiral on the station, and not for any future expenditure. Henceforward whatever arrangements were made would be made by the Executive Government, and consequently under the cogniz ance of the House. Mr. GORDON hoped the Adruiral's Report would be laid before them, and exprssed himself satisfied with the expla natiou.—The Petition was laid on the table. CIVIL LIST. • _ . A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships' agreement to several Private Bills, and. to the Civil List Bill, with an Amendment. On the motion of Lord CASTLEREAGH, the Amendment was read. It consisted of an addition of 7001. to a suns total erroneously added together i❑ the schedule, but without malting any alteration in the Lord MILTON doubted if the House should agree to this as matter of course, and without a grave communication with the Lords. The House was constitutionally very jealous with regard to alterations in a money Bill, and it would he well to guard against any lax precedent. Lord CAS rLEREAGH coincided in this principle, but did not think it involved in what was evidently a mere clerical error. Any objection however wont.' be obviated by making an entry to that effect in their Journals. Mr. WYNN having expressed a similar opinion, the PEAKEIt explained the nature of the mistake, and the Commons agreement to the Anienduient was recorded ac cordingly. AGRICULTURAL PETITIONS, &c. The House was occupied for more than an hour in receiving petitions froin carious parts, stating the distress of the agri cultural interests, and praying for consideration and relief. Others from manufacturing districts and commercial bodies were also nresented, the prayers of which were for the re moval of trading restrictions. &c. and against and• alterations in the Corn Laws.---The following were in- fa►•our of the A;:riculturists:— FroM Farmers and Land Owners in Sussex; presented by Mr. Curt eis. From similar classes in Berwickshire, complaining chiefly of the manner in which the averages were made out ; pre,- sented by Lord Binning..

The Petitions of an opposite nature were one troth Great Yarmouth, praying that the restrictions from trade should he reniuvtd. A Petition presented by Mr. Robinson, from Win. Ander son, of Norwich, the prayer of which was, that all the laws prohibithe of the free importation of grain should be re pealed. Petition front Wolverhampton, ►resented by Mi.. Little ton, complaining of thu distress in the Iron Trade, and pray ing the House to' take into consideration a liberal system of unrestrained commerce. A similar Petition from Walsall. .A Pitition from the Parish of kirkheaton, presented by Lord Nlitton, which his Lordship stated contained a fact well worth the attention of Parliament. It was the petition of t 79 consisting of 1729 individuals; and it stated, that
