-:tined expreisions g r eat of contrition, and he hoped the soaAr Would give him permission to bringit up. The petition was then brought up andread. It stated that individttal had come from Ireland voluntarily to surrender !iiinstelf—that he was the sole author and originator of the for «eery ; that he meant no disreepect to the House or the Right 'lan. Member who had presented it; and that he was at pee • i$ a dangerous state if health. The petition having been laid on the table, Mr, Secretary PEEL observed, that - this petition was an ad. f , ..:,;cnal reason to those he lead already submitted to the loose, r:, extending lenity to this. individual. He moved, therefore, he be brought to the bar, and, ate- a suitable admonition, . o...charged. ilkingion was then brought to the bar in the custody of tie'ferjeant at ' rms. ; The SPEAKER address.ed him nearly as follows:—" Robert Pilkington—Your petition has been received, and the :eivie is disposed totalce it into its favourable consideration. it unneceseary.for me to enlarge on the nature and magnitude • your offence ; an offence so insulting to the House, so much violationcf the right of petitioning, and so degrading and dia . F...:eftil to yourself. The House, ready to temper severity • rciticy, and more anxious to prevent a repetion of the of. ienee, than to punish the offender, is convinced that the folly ..ad futility of your conduct are a security against its recuerence; hi consideration of the confinement you have atready suf fertd, and of the degrading exposure which has been made of our conduct, this House is (LipoS2d, without the infliction :irthre punishment, to order that you be forthwith discharge'', .i , pnyment of fees." ..4,fter the prisoner withdrew, Mr. CA LCRAFT Stated that the prisoner was so poor that it was utterly impossible for him to pay the fees. Mr. Secretary PEEI. concurred in the statement, and said tt.at the traction of the Serjeant'a fees would amount to a seta. te:We of incarceration. e 7 some conversation, it was understood that Mr. Pil ► ilg;on was to present - a petition, stating his inability to pay the fees, anti that the .House would then take the matter into consideration. SPECIAL JURY BILL. Secrnary PEEL. moved the third reading of the Bill. — f fat it to be his duty to state the great obligations he w as aotier to Mr. nobtmtvie, (ott the- ecretary of State's Office), and Mr. Gregson, for their great labour in attending to the ctetaiis of the Bill. The Law . Officers of the Crown had ex vessed their praise of the.diligecee and skill of these Gentle vlen. Ile should merely add a single clause, that the privileges to" Parliament were not to be acted by any thing contained in the Bill. The clause was then added ; the Bill read a third time, and SCOTCH JUDICATURE BILL. On the motion of the _LORD ADVOCATE, the House went into a Committee on this Bill. The several amendments were agreed to. • Upon an amendment being proposed to one- clause for in creeeing the number of Judges before whom criminal causes eleneld be. tried, the Committee divided— :For the Clause • . . - 33 :For the Amendment - . - 9 Majority - - 24 • The House having resumed, the Report was ordered to be received on Thursday. Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from Richard Pocr Pil kiagton, praying to be excused the payment of costs. The petition was read, and Mr. S. RICE moved the ped • tioner be accordingly excused the payment of costs. After a few words from Mr. CIIOREII, the motion was agreed to. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY. • Mr. GouLBURN moved the Order of the Day for going into a Committee of Supply for the purpose of bringing for Ward the remaining Miscellaneous Irish Estimates. Mr. S. RICE said, that the estimates included votes for the support of establishments for Education, anti he therefore °b ee. • . _eected to their being brought forward until the Report of the ComMiseion on Education was before the House. He tinder= stood that the Report was teady, and he therefore moved as an amendment—That an humble Address be presented to his — .MajeSty, praying that he would be graciously pleased to give direction, that there be Litt before the House a Copy of the Report • _ . • . of the Commissioners of Education in Ireland. Mr. GOULBURN said, that the report of the Commis ,. :sinners -voila necessarily •be so, comprehensive and so irn eteertant,e that no Measures could be taken upon them without I, etomfiderale ivesgtion .cald •such as weuld render it iinpos- - • p r odu c e an ti y a such , measures during the present Session. - If the lion. Gentleman had waited until the House was in sornetittee, he should have stated that the Government was reedy_ to pay the earliest attention to the report of the Commis. xioncrs, and to adopt as far:as might be deemed necessary their recommendations. In the present state of the Session. how. e. - er, it was impossible that any thing could be done until next :v.?ar, and in the mean time, if the votes for the existing esta 1111Aments were withheld, they would : be put down before it . was known whether anything, and, whan.mould succeed them. Mr. GRATTAN said, that he diii Min wish to delay the public business, hut lie was unwilling to vote the proposed g:nnts until the report of the Commissioners was before the House. Mr. F. LEWIS eepreseed his deep regret that the report of t;tz. Commission had not been made at an earlier period. From .tha particular manner in which his attention had been called to the sabjects which the Commissioners had to investigate, he had the -strongest reason to lament this circumstance; but at the same time the delay had, been so unavoidable that in justice to him self and colleagues, he must say that no apology on their ac c neut was demanded. Ile thought the •queetion _of education, was °se of the very greatest importance as to the state of Ireland, sea upon which depended more than upon any thing else, the relief "of the misery of that country. He was the more con e;rteed of this, front hi% mind having been more closely drawn to all the dtscaiLe of the subject than that of any other person; regl therefore it war that he regretted the delay of the report • - reore than other persons could do. It was-impossible that the nleione and recommendations of the Commission could be so nett forward as to be understood and' fairly considered the present year, and particularly in Ireland, where wsit particularly desirable that they should be fully:known. I therefore did net see how . any thing could-be gained by de . I.tring time Estimates. He was firmly convinced that some final tiNjuettrent of the question of education must be made, anti brine'establishment of some general system by which-all • • -c,:t ;oaten- classes in Ireland, - without distinction, must be.edu - vete& A plan would be recommended - by the Commissioners, which he thought must eventually meet the corthal support of j parses. Mr. HUTCHINSON said, he had no doubt but that tire system recommended by the Commissioners would he ; nerfectlee liberal and calculated to meet the situation of the . . I'4 .r. S. - RICE: proposed that the Resolutions should now be • i . t:yeti the-Comtnitteee with .the understanding that there snield be a discussion upon the bringing up of the Report, the Report - of the Commissioners should be before the 171tiste, " l''flrlSA-ietery PEEL said 'that the Report had come to Lie lesserdif that day ; -and to slew the anxiety of the Government seetsernmunleate it to the House, he would state that uponee - etiving it he immediately sent for the Printer, and ordered it is with all possible expedition. It was very corn. containing 500 pages.of writing, besides (as we an ' `eerritood) the Appendix's contait.ing the evidence.

Membermight have informed himself u: the nature of these works froni several. re ports now before'the House, which had been made by the dif-* farellt Enseineers employed. The works were commenced .in a throe ofgreat distress, when the population were without em. pier - neat, aril, they had been gradually proceeding from time is tirue a 2 the,peciods of disteess and want of een.ployeee Sat re. !,:t •,.,1 *4l turned. The public benefit Which the works themselves afforded was not the only benefit they had produced. They had effected a material improvement in the habits and morals of the people, by teaching them to know the value of regular labour, and its consequent , reward. Ilr. S. RICE added his testimony as to the beneficial results with which .these works :had been attended. He took this op►ortunity of suggesting* that the whole system of the Public W in Ireland required to be placed upon a better foot ing, and hoped that the attention of Government would be given to some remedial measure during the recess. Mr. GRATTAN concurred in the complaint of his Hon. Friend. Great favouritism was shewn in the employments, and many works were undertaken which could• be of no pub lic He thought that no works ought to be under tar fse-theimprovements of particular counties, unless they. at first subscribed one half of the expellee. Mr. Secretary PEEL was surprised to bear the Hon. Mem ber for Wicklow complain of the public works carried on in counties, because the military road made in the county which he represented contributed more to the-suppression of the dis, turbances which succeeded the rebellion. than any other mea sure:4 then taken. Mr. HUTCHINSON said that nothing was so likely to maintain quiet and tranquillity in Ireland as employing the people. • After a few words from Mr. Hums: and Mr. GotttutT RN- Mr. Secretary - PEEL said he would- refer the Hon... Me mber for Aberdeen to the Reports .of the Engineers, which fully proved the necessity of these public works. One of them stated that at a place called Erris, a very- novel mode of travelling was used before the present roads were made. In 'order to get a horse through the country, it was neces sary to employ several guides with - ropes, and at certain places they had to cast the horse won, his back ~and drag him by the .legs across the. swaropi and sloughi which abounded in those places.—(Laughter.)—Singe the road had been made a number of gigs and jaunting-cars were stated to have made- their appearance at Erris, ami he thought the Hon. Alember would agree with him, that the best way to civi lize the people of Erris, was to send as many gigs and jaunt ing-cars amongst them as they could. . . . Mr. HUM E-.said he had read the Reports, and'when he first say this account he made up his mind it was not true. GOULBURN said that the engineer was a Scotehman --(A laugh)--and came from Aberdeen.—(l,aughter.) . Mr. HUME assured the Hight Hon. Gentleman that that would not induce him . to believe it-one bit the - sooner.--q Great laughter.) The Resolution was then agreed to, the Report was ordered to be received on Wednesday, and the House resumed. - ROYAL MESSAGE. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the Resolution in =Avert° the Message received from the Crown. Sir J. Wit OTTESLEY rose to correct a misrepresentation which had gone to the public upon the last debate on this sub ject. If the subject had been one of minor importance e he should not have noticed the error, because it was'a thing which of ne cessity must frequently happen. He had, however, been re ported to have made a speech when he-was not present in the House.—( Hear !)-11e was aware that this could only have Hap- pened through mistake.—(Hear, hear!)—And he should be ex. tremely obliged by having that mistake set right, through the same quarter in which it originated. Ile begged to observe, that he should have considered it as a great abuse of the privi leges which he derived from being a Member of that House, if he had uttered the sentiments attributed to hint, respecting an Illustrious Personage who had not obtruded himself or his af. fairs upon the notice of the house.—(Hear, hear I) The first resolution relating to the infant Princess of Kent having been brought up and read, Mr. HUME asked it' any provision had been made in ease of the death of the young'Princess. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had certainly not thought it necessary to suggest such a cala mity to her Royal Highness. Mt. HUME would rather it were given at once to the Duchess of Kent; than to give it her through the Princess her daughter. The resolution was then agreed to. On the other resolution for a grant of, 6,0001. for the educa tion of the Prince of Cumberland, Mr. HUM E said, if the Hon. Member for Waterford had ' been in place to submit the amendment to this resolution that he proposed on a former night, he (Mr. Hume) should be con tent to support it. But that not being the case, lie felt it his duty to give the present grant his decided negative: Nothing which Ministers had done for the whole, would be so repugnant i as this waste of money after their refusal to compel the Duke of i Cumberland's son to be educated in England.—(Cries of " No, 1 'No;" from the Minieterial Benches.) Every person who had not voted for the former grant to the Duke himself, was bound not to vote for this, which amounted to the same thing. Ills Royal Highness had now 18,000/. a-year, which, on the Conti . nent, was equal to 30,000/. in this country. When, in 1776, a provision was made for the present Duke of Gloucester, then two years old, it was only. 8,0001. pet annum, and not to be paid him till the demise of this father. Another objection was, that the Prince of Cumberland,who stood remotely from the Throne, should be placed on the same footing as the• Princess, daughter of the Duchess of Kent, who was comparatively near in the line of succession. It was only on the ground that the Princess Charlotte of Wales was heiress presumptive to the. Crown that Parliament sanctioned a separate provision for her from that of her mother. He should take the sense of the House of giving a direct negative to the vote. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed that if the income of his Royal Highness had been increased at the time of his marriage by 6,0001.11-year, as was the case with the Dukes of Clarence, Kent, and Cambridge, it would be quite unreasonable now to come down to the House with this pro position. The increase in those cases was made to meet the probable contingency of an increase of family, and that sow before the House was to afford adequate means of educa tioh for his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland's son, who had already reached his 6th or 7th year. The lion. Member for Montrose was unfortubate in supposing that a difference ought to be made between the allowance for the daughter of the Duchess of Kent and the Prince of Cumber. land, as the reason why the Honourable, Members opposite in 1818 objected to the income • of the Duke of Clarence being • raised 10.0001. a year was exactly because proximity to the throne in their opinion ought not to be taken into account. On another point he'begged to say, that he stated the ether night, most unequivocally, that the object of this vote was not only to provide education for his Royal Highness's son, but to provide that education in . England. He certainly could not agree to have any restriction of diet sort inserted in the reso lution' v. hicli was an answer toehe Message from the Crown ; but if it was the sense of the House that such a condition might to be apecifically annexed to the ;vote, neither he nor his Right Iton. Friends near him should object to the proceed-, ing. It might, perhaps, he stated, in the preamble, as a reason for - the grant, or he inSerted in the body of the Bill ;so that an assurance and security would be given to the House and the country that there wait fo motive for the peoposition but the one stated. All he wished was, in doing this. -not to wound the feelings of the parents, by tempting to forcibly se. partite the father and child ; and lie, was extremely sorry to have heard an lion. and • Learned Civilian (I)r. letshington) tete the, former evening declare that he did not desire . to see the Duke of Cdmberlatid• return to this country. If it was neces sary to educaielheeyoung.Prince here there was no occasion w)ty hie separation from his parent should be done in h harsh manner. If the money therefore, was to be granted at all, it could only de done in the course recomulvAded. The object was tei give the Prieee a goods an English 'education, and he was willing that means should be taken to produce inevitably that . . etlict. r. LUSIIINGTON at all tiines;was.reluctattio make any observations on the Roy a l ;Family;.. but considering. the deci sion on the Totes of 11.115 and IBIS were strictly right. And pre_ : per., the House ought not now to retrace its steps or. deny its .former principles. There never was an instance In which the feelings of the whole country' were inure in .unison with' those of Parliainent than in rejecting the former grunts. They had now first to see what was the nece&sity for this vote. During the former debates it was not denied that the Duke of ("umber= land intended to reside 'prernanently on ti.e Continent. lt was, however, his duty'as a father to his child, and WI duty to his country, to come to England; and•with the means hi . possessed there educate his son. Ifafter such an experiment, and having inspired confidence itiParliarnent by his conduct, his income were insufficient, then indeed there might be a claim on its ge nerosity, if not on its justice. flow did it happen too, that with 12,0001. a year the Duchess of Kent cou ld educate her .tiawgitter in a'fitting and proper manner,:whilo with 19,000 t. a year the Doke of CUrnberland could noroducate his son. l'lte Hon. Member proceeded to argue thet.if the Crown, lied a right - , to e,ducate the younger-branches of the Royal then the pay ought also to be entrUsted to. the King.; M to what he (Dr. Lushington) hitd stated.cm the former night. *he us inis- F-Mahentled by. the Right.floa. Gentleman (the Chancellor of thc'Eichequer.) He had not expressed a wish to separate the father rzOm the son, but h said he should not consent to give his Royal flighness one shilling to come here to perform what was his • sacred doty.... He should 'conclude by moving as An amendment, byleaving Out the words "to Lis Royal flighntss the Duke of Cumberland," anti adding at thesonelusion, ‘, in the United Kingdoms - ;; JtIr.,C 4 IXEg Yshouhl'OppOse both the motion and the amene. rnent.,,,§ioce he hirid been. its Parliament So, mat an °tumid:, was never off?...red to it aS the Present Resolution. It was only an attempt to raise the same sum which had been before refused under false pretencetu . —it was to give the Duke of Cumberland 60001. a year under pretence of applying it to the education of a child. The vote was besides mixed up with one to her Royal , Highness the Vocliois of Zeta, to which nr.iither she nor Any of her family was a party. They knew and they . declared that they were only made tools of to get the Resolution paced for the Duke of Cumberland. CRIPPS was- friendly to the amendment, but as the. Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the ExcheqUer) had no. objection to have a clause inserted in the Bill, declaring that the Prince should be educated in . England, he should vote with him. . ....... . Mr. H. GURNEY thought is the salaries to the Royal Fa mily were given to them merely as the King's sons, the Dukes of ( umberland and Sussex ought to have the same as the Dukes of Kent and - Cambridge. Nothing could be.more absurd than to prevent his Royal Highness from educating his own son—the House of Commons had no right to interferein .educating the children of the Royal Dukes. He should vote with the Chan- .cellor of'. the Exchequer as an act of justice. Sir G. ROSE approved of the intention of. having the edu cation of the young Prince conducted in England, although it was natural that his Royal Highness, who,. while here, was shy'd at from every hand:, should prefer even passive liberty abroad. The Hon. Baronet proceeded to eulogize the con duct of his Royal Highness during 47 years which he had lived in the same town with him on the Continent; and deprecated the expressions which he had heard made use of by some lion. embers. _ Sir W. CONCtIt.EVE stated, that he had known the Duke of Cumberland fora long while, duringvhich his conduct watt unexceptionable; and no one could be more punctual in the payment of his debts. Mr. Alderman SMITH said he also was acquainted with his Royal Highoess,, who had been the victim of malevolence, and was driven out of his native country by inuendos-and misre presentations. Whatever the House might think proper to do with respect to. the education of the child, he thought that tirse attacks against the father should not be persis , ed in. • Mr. Secretary PEEL was sure . it was the universal feeling of the House that hothing,could be. more unpleasant than these discussions. He should briefly observe that he did not agree with the lion. Member for Newton (Mr. H. Gurney) that this was .to repair an act of injustice. Since the .period alluded to, circumstances had chanted ;, and therefore, althorgh the for mer vote of the House might be correct, it ought not to prevent Parliament from acceding to, the preseett, one.. The lion. Member for Montrose had said that every father ought to. educate his own soh ; but, hOweeeritrue this•in private, life, it did . hohapply to the case tunler consideration. We all bad an indirect interest that the education - of the Royal Family should be as perfect as possible, and we had a right to in sist, in providing to that education, (het, it be conducted OR we wished. The comparison between, the Menthe oilier Royal flighness the Duchess of Kent eid - his Royal Highness. the Duke of Cumberlated wel'acit eXactlehjust ' • - .for what might be adequate for a Princess living in a state of widowhood, would not be sufficient for a Prince with a with, and upholding the dignity of his station. It had also been asked why . the Duke of Cumberland did not come to this country ; but during the debate of 1818. some reference, had been made to the lastly he "was then about to espouse by a few individuals who now he (Mr. Peel) believed regretted extremely .they had done so, and it was easy to conceive that wider theee circumstances his Royal Highness would prefer retiring to the'Continent. He avowed, however, that it would be unreaeonable to take the vote with out some better security than the word of a Minister, that the Prince should be educated in England. He. for one should have no objection to the introduction' of such a proviso in the enacting part of the Bill. The form, indeed, in which it was done appeared immaterial, so tliet it expressed the recorded sense of Parliament. He .only asked that the House would, not forcibly. deprive the Duke : of Cumberland of the natural : contronl which he ought to have over his son, and thus make the latter, who might be the future Sovereign of the country, entertain an unworthy opinion of his own father.—(llear I) Mr. C. - PELHAM said a few words which were inaudible in the gallery: . Mr. BROUGHAM thought the sooner they came to a vote on the subject the better. lie was quite satisfied if some word.; were introduced in some way to attain the certainty of the young Prince being educated in. England. He still, however, had an objection to the principle of the vote altogether, and wished at least for some delay that precedents in similar cases might be brought to light. lie wishedto know whether in future for every scion of every branch of the royal stock , ehiCh I arrived at five or six years of age, Parliament was to be called on for annual mint of 6,0001. With respect to her Royal•Higlinese the Duchess of Kent, if his information were correct, neither she nor Prince Leopold, to their infinite honour, were privy to the grant for the Princess her daughter. It seemed, however, that as the active friends of the Duke of Cumberland wished a provision to be made on the ground of educating his Son,. they thought fit to place one for the Ditches: of Kent its thefront. But the latter asked no such thing, and it was unfair thus to leave that dietitiguished Princess anti her brother subject to the odium of the public. They certainly were beand to support the Members or. the . Itoyal Family ; but the - •liouee !sniper before refused to grant this very sum of 6,0004 to the Mite. of CoMberland, while that vote remained unreecinred, lie would consent to indirectly revoke it. lie entirely agreed with those who said• that it, would be indecorous to tear the child from the parent. In the case of the Princess Charlotte of %Vales he urged the objection, and should do the same now. Mr. Secretary CA ;;'N I NO assured the House, that this vote was, not proposed as an atonement for the former decision, but arose solely from the tact that since the period referred his Royal Highness theihrke of, Ctimberland had a child, and that the country had an: indirect interest in the education of that child, for which education it was necessary that. the Le gislature should provide.' Such were simply the circumstances of the case. If one admitted that the child ought to be educated for the benefit of the State, then the Crown was booed to in terpose, and see that no danger should accrue to the State from the manner hi which that education was conducted. It there fore behoved them to step forward, and while they prevented the education lions taking place alre'ad, to . adopt the most efficacious mean, for having it properly bestowed in England. Undoubtedly, however, after this resolution passed, •it would be at the option of his Royal Highness whether he accompanied his son to his country, or allowed the child to come here alone, and thereby that rude ard harsh interference would -be avoided which- all so much deprecated. Bitt the sole condition on which the grant was proposed was, the education should take place in England--.from that.condition they could not part, and they lied a right to see that their object was fully secured, —and that a Triode in-winos the country had a deep interest, and ihr whom it might hay,: a strong affection, should he pro. perly brought up. These few words embraced the, whole ques tion divested of extraneous topics. •The other votes of the House ought to he left entirely out of consideration, and also whether or not the grant Was accompanied by that efOr the Duchess of Kent. -As to the latter he might say, that certainly there had been no repugnance to receive it, although upon thie, as upon all other occasions, that Illustrious Princess lied acted, a s at all times, with the prudence becoming her sex and station. .'They were called upon to enable his Majesty to pro. vide for the education of fl• Prince whelMight-be the Kim: of this country, and they were,resdy to affix to the vote a single limitatiweanamely, that it should•be attended by educatiozi in this country. Sir F. BURDETT saida - nsehe question was put, he should be relieved from making unpleasant observations, and at the same time •have the satisfaction ,oftioing his ditty to the country. 'raking this grant in any point• of view in which it could be presented, and taking it to be different front the view in which it- was. first presented to the . House, -he objected to it alto gether. Ile was told it' wavnot to .put eremuch money into • pockets ofhis Royal Iligth eehe.Duke - of, Cumberland, • but to keep up the Interest which the-people of this- country had in the education of this Prince,-who might be expected to dame to the them:ie. - He cOhlitenovace hole an infant siz years old, could require 6,000/. a yettr for-education. If it was de sirable to give him a bad education, they could not promote that object better thanlq - surrounding him with state. If the , 1 young Prince wes to have .the b2SL 'education4 he could have none so good as-that received ,by the sons of persons,of rank.— The demand was masked by the claim set up for a noble and amiable Lady, who made no demand-' • It was extremely unfair to make it u mask. . . • The- CIIA NCE 1.1.4f)11 of-the EXCHEQUER said'the Hon.

EAST INDIA JUDGES' BILL.
