COURT OF KING'S BENCH IN IRELAND. Mr. GOULBURN brought in a Bill to regulate the Court of King's Bench in Ireland.—Read a first and ordered to be read a second time on Friday, • Sir G. CLERK presented the usual Estimates for the present year.—Ordered to lie on the table. EXCISE. Colonel DAVIES move d for an Account of the Total Pro duce of the Excise. While on his legs he wished to ask the Hon. Secretary to the Treasury s :question which he had put to him last year. Two years ago lie had been of opinion that a saving might be effected by conealidating certain duties; which were then collected partly...in-Ave customs, and partly in the excise. The Paymaster of. the Forces, when this subject was mentioned, had said thew-alteration recommended was likely to be made. Last year, he, (Colonel Davies), had 'spoken to the Hon. G e ntl eman oppos i te, who had also said that the change in question was intended to .be made. He, however, was informed, that up to that hour, nothing of the kind had been done. Now, as was convinced th a t a sav i ng of several hund re d thousand pounds in the year mi g ht b e e f e fected by the course which he had suggested, he wished to know whether any thing was about to be done on it, as if such were not the case, he should feel it to be his duty to bring the subject under the consideration of the House ? Mr. HERRIES assured the Gallant Officer, that he had not said the measure which he had recommended was about to be adopted. What he had said on being spoken to respecting it last year was, that it was in the contemplation of the Treasury, to attend to the subject. He had certainly not stated any pro gress to have been made in effecting such an arrangement, but had merely described it as being one that was to be considered. One set of Commissioners were about to make a report on this subject when he gave his answer, but it was thought desirable to wait for the result of the investigations then carrying on by. Conimissioners appointed to makeinquiries into the state of the Excise in Ireland and Scotland. It happened that in Great Britain and Ireland different modes of collecting the Port- Duties had been established. The question then was, which mode of collecting them should be applied to this whole ? All. he could say was this, that the subject to which the Honourable Gentleman had called his attention, stood foremost for con sideration at the Treasury, and he hoped would soon be dis posed of. Col. DAVIES wished to know if the Hon. Gentleman would say that some measure connected With this subject would be brought forward in the course of the present Session ? bwtai was annfteirthsi Mr. HERRIES could not promise thise as it depended on reports to'be made by two sets of Commissioners—one appoint ed by Parliament, and one under his Majesty's warrant. It be received, bleto sa e y n w o l h ie ta n ia t e l d te , ir ne re t p im or e ts w w a o u u ld ld be b Colonel DAVIES said he was determined not to let this Session pass without bringing the subject forward, if nothing was done on the other side of the House. The account moved for was ordered. Mr• MANNING presented a Petition from Lymington, praying for the repeal of the Coal Duties. Ordered to lie on the table. ANK . Mr. MANNING said he ha notU been in his place yester. day, having been called elsewhere to attend the discussion of a most important subject, apd consequently was not present when his Hon. Friend (Mr. Grenfell) had moved for a return of the Issues of Bank-notes and Bank Post Bills. Nothing could have been easier for him had notice been given on the subject, to have supplied the desired information. He could have no objection. to its being known whether the issues were large or small, but the Act of Parliament, tinder which the Bank had been required to lay such accounts annually before the House, only required this to be done, while cash payments were sus pended. Now, that cash-payments were resumed, he did not know that the issue s of the Bank were more liable to be called for than his own private ac ceptances, or those of any other Banker in London. Mr. GRENFELIJ differed from his Hon. Friend, add could no, think that th e acceptances of a private individual might its well be called for as the information which he desired. In his opinion it was most important that the public, in the present such accounts bee n t s l i l t e u l a s t s i ll on es o o f f tb tli n e gs in ° k u . id n w f h o a r t m w e e rl r y e given, the imp r ession on his mind was,- that the catastrophe of 1797 (such he must always call it) would never have taken place. He should take an Opportunity of bringing this question under the consideration of the House on Tuesday next, when be proposed to move for certain annual accounts. Sir J. SEBRIGHT presented a petition from Ware, in Hertfordshire, praying fora repeal of the Coal Duties.--Or tiered to lie on the table. .The Hon. Baronet also presented a petition from Baltlerej‹, praying the House to tak e i nto consiiieratfon the state of the Slave Population of the-West Intlies.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. RUMBOLD presented a petition from the Merchants and Ship Owners of the Town of (;real Yarmouth, against the Duties on -Coals•—Ordered to,lie on 'the table. QUALIFICATIONS OF' JURORS. Mr. WESTERN rose to move for leaVe to bring in a Bill to alter-the law with respect to the qualifiCations of Jurors.— The alteration which lie should propose was one of very mate rial importance, but at the s ame time it was one to which he • , tnougnt very little objection could be made. He was of opi nion that the subject bad been overloctked, or he thought it , would have sooner been considered entitled to the considera tion of that. House. 'Various alteratinni had been made from time to time in the qualifications. till at last those were fixed upon which were now required by law-101. per annum from landed property in England, and something else elsewhere.— This qualification Was not necessary in the City of London, where personal property to the amount of 1001. was all that was required. In certain boroughs and corporate towns, personal property to theamount of but 40/. was sufficient. He proceeded to shew that a person claiming 101. per annum from land; whether freehold or copyhold, might be in a state of great po verty, and most ineligible to serve as Jurors, while others, who were in every respect fit to be chosen, were excluded. He read over some extracts from the freeholders' book to chew what proportion the persons qualified to serve as Jurors bore to the rental of • certain places. In one parish the rental was 91451., the Jurors eleven—in the next the rental was 4600/., and but one. Juror--in the next the rental was 7047/., Jurors nine—in the next the rental was 30001., Jurors two. 'The total rental of a number ofparishes to which he referred was 94,5004—the total number of persons qualified to serve as Jurors, 87 from that rental. Ile proceeded at some length, but in a very low' tone, to explain. the advantages which would 'result from al lowing.personal property to qualify persons to serve as JurorS, and described the various provisions which he proposed so sub mit to thellouse in the Bill he wished to introduce, which he stated to be a renewal of that which fie had brought in last year on the same subject. He concluded •by moving fbr leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the qualifications of Jurors. Mr. LEYCESTIiR seconded the motion. 'The proposed Bill would admit a class of persons to serve as Jurors, who were in every respect eligible to serve, and who were very Willing to take upon themselves the duty. Following such a course would make the business of three Assizes not more onerous than that of two had been, and would thus do away with the only objection to a third assize. The Hon. Gentle man then called their attention to the present arrangement with respect to the number of Judges presiding in the Courts at the same mine. He contended that the number of four in one Court was not necessary. That number had not always been deemed indispensible, and if but three were now held to he sufficient, g reat benefit would result t o the public, as th e t hi r d assize could then be carri e d on -without inconvenience. Ile highly approved of a third assize in the year. To this we now owed it that a-most heinous murderer had suffered the sentence of the law at Hertford, who would else have been still living a Teproach to the justice of the country. He wished the measure success for its own sake, but still more on account of the support it would give to a third assi ze , an d h ope d i t wou l d be follovred up by hi s Hon. Friend, to whom- he thought they were under great obligatinsi for the contiimett'employrnent of his mind in the service of•his country. Captain IMABERLEY expressed an apprehension that some inconvenience might arise from passing this Bill at the present moment, when a measure was about to be introduced for the purpose of all the laws relating to the subject of it. Mr. WESTERN explained. Mr. LOCKHART diej not think the Hon. Gentleman wrong in bringing forward this subject as-he had done, as in his opi nion it was one which ought to be separately discussed. He did net, consider that our ancestors bad vi.... , hed Juries to be for ever selected front freeholders, and from no other class, but they illegal to bait a bull in the Metropolis, by the Act he had just had given themthe . qualification regarding them as the most in- obtained leave to amend, which prevented cruelt of aiMal depend en t persons in the then stat e o f t h e country; and as such Nay, there was one part of the town in which all of these in s _ the fittest to defend the rights of their fellow-subjects.

Mr. MABERLEY moved for Accounts of the Gross and Net Revenue of Ireland, from the oth of January, 1791, down to the period of the Union, specifying the charges for collecting; the amount of the Debt funded and unfunded, the interest of the same, and other sums expended exclusive of those disbursed as drawbacks of Bounties ; like accounts of the Redeemed Debt and Expenditure of Ireland, from the Union of the two countries down to the period of the consolida dation of the two Exchequers, in 1816. While on his legs, he wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite whether the balance sheet, which he had suggested last year ought to be laid before the House, had been prepared ;and. whether, as the Right Hon.. Gentleman intended to bring the financial affairs of the country under consideration on the 23d, it was his intention to produce the balance sheet previously, that the Members might have an opportunity of taking it into con sideration. The CHANCELLOR of, the XCHEQUER said the ba lance sheet w as n o t y e t ready to present to the House but would be in a d a y or two .

It was not improbable that the returns, when made, would not answer the purpose of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He, however, had no objection to the prin ciple of either motion. He did not wish to offer any objection , to them in their present form ; but if, hereafter it• should be found that the difficulties which occurred to his mind at the moment were not without foundation, the sinipl• course would be to rescind the order now to be made, and adopt another, which would better effect the object in view.
