AT a MEETING o f th e IRISH DIS TRESS COMMITTEE, held the 15th July, 1831, at No. 37, Cornhill, the Right lion. the Earl of CALE DON in the Chair, the following Resolutions were pro posed by the Most Noble the Marquis of SLIGO, and se conded by Joni.; SMITH, Esq., M.P. : « That having received intimation from various quar ters that the money already subscribed is sufficient for the relief of the distressed districts in Ireland, the Committee have felt it their duty to pay the closest attention to this subject, with the view of withdrawing the appeal which they made to a generous public, if it should be found that further contributions be deemed unnecessary. " That, in the discharge of this duty, the Committee have minutely examined the authentic documents now before them, from which it appears that there is now a population of :291,000 persona, who are dependent upon charity for the means of support, and, as the pressure of distress still prevails, the claims for relief are daily in creasing. . . _ " That it is calculated that to ensure such numbers against starvation till the 7th of August, a sum of 1,818/. 15s. per diem will be required, or 47,287!. 10s., which is taking an estimate of lid. per diem for the maintenance of each individual. From this sum is to be deducted 9,000/, being the amount of money and provisions at the disposal of this Committee; and assuming that other societies have at their disposal a sum, as reported, not exceeding 26,000!., this leaves a 'deficiency of 12,287/. 10s., for which there seems to be no provision, except in the continued bounty of the public, or in the interposition of his Majesty's Government. " That the Committee cannot, however, pronounce with confidence upon the means which other societies, over whom they have no controul, possess; but they wish, candidly and explicitly, to lay the facts before the public, to enable them to judge whether the data upon which they are acting justify the continuance of their functions. On the whole, considering it more in accordance with the feelings of the English public that they should not dis- . olve themselves until they are satisfied that the object for which they were instituted has been accomplished, they resolve to continue to receive and apply subscriptions till the Ist of August, when they will close their accounts, and publish, with as little delay as possible, a detailed statement of their proceedings.'

The Western Committee fin• the relief of the Irish Poor, deeply sensible of the liberality with which the Christian public have responded to the appeal made to them in be half of their famishing countrymen in Ireland, have been peculiarly anxious that no undue advantage should be taken of the interest which has been excited, and that the exer tions of benevolence should not be called for, one day be yond the urgent necessity of the case. Impressed with this feeling, the Committee determined so early as the 26th of June, on issuing a circular letter to their correspondents, inquiring as to the state of the har vest; its probable commencement; the extent of the distress; of the supplies, &c. ; and they now feel it their d it ty to make public the following brief extracts of several letters received since that time ;From James Dombrain, Esq., Inspector-General of the Coasl Guard.) _ _ " Dublin, July 2. " The Cotfunittee will have the goodness to bear in their recol lection that I have recently travelled along the whole line of Coast, from Lough Swilly to Galway, and in addition to my own observations of the forward state of the crops, &c., I have had the benefit of the local knowledge and disinterested opinions of all the officers serving under my orders upon that extensive range of Coast. Judging from their opinions and the magnitude of the supplies which have been already sent as well as those in progress, and viewing also the prospects of an unusually early and abundant harvest, I arrive with pleasure and gratification to the conclusion, that the objects for which the public so nobly come forward have been, thanks to God, gained. " I consider the subscriptions to have been intended to meet a temporary and pressing emergency, I trust and I think that ob ject has been gained, and that the supplies now in progress will be found ample and sufficient to carry the people through to the coming harvest, which, under the favour of Divine Providence, promises to be one of the most early and abundant ever re membered." (From Sir F. L. Blosse, Secretary to the Mayo Central Com mittee, dated June 30, MlL—Published in the Times News paper of July 5.) " In three weeks we confidently hope, under Divine Provi deuce, that the new crop will be fit for use; but in the m ean time the poor are reduced to the last extremity of want and s ulk &ring. lam :persuaded a sufficient sum has been subscribed to relieve the present distress." (From the same to the Western Committee, dated July 8, Mil.) " I am very unwilling to draw on the noble liberality of the English people for one sixpence more than necessary, and you may see by my letter to the Times, written before I had the ho nour of receiving your communication, how entirely I agree with you on the subject. The potato crop will be both early and abundant. In average years the people begin to dig it on the last Sunday in July (for that day's meal). I can see no reason why they should delay using it this year beyond that period. On the whole, it is my decided opinion, that no relief what soever (unless to those labouring under sickness in consequence of this year's privation) should be given atter the termination of this month. lam indignant at the attempts made to trespass on unparalleled generosity. lam afraid, if it went by the opinion of the majority, you would be called on to continue your bounty fur the next three months." (From the Rev. James Daly, Warden of Galway, dated July 9.) " The distress has abated so much, and there is now such a quantity of provisions on the way to the suffering districts, that the cargo of rice ought to be reserved for those places in which epidemic complaints may be expected, and in this way it will, I havOno doubt, be highly useful where disease prevails. if must be pleasing to the gentlemen engaged in this work of mercy, to be informed, that for thelpresent they have com pletely succeeded, the progress of famine is arrested, and another tOrtnight must place the population beyond the reach of danger, it' they are not so placed already." (From the Rev. W. Thomas.) " Glebe, Cliffien, July 6, 1831. " I have been duly favoured with your letter of the .20th of June last, inclosing me the account of subscriptions and the grants made by the Western Committee, &c. We owe our ge nerous friends in England a debt of gratitude that never can be repaid, and it would be an abuse of the blackest character to press upon your unrivalled bounty for one day beyond the most Pressing necessity. From all that I can learn, the supplies al ready raised, and on their way to the distressed districts, are quite sufficient to bring the starving people to the new crops. In this neighbourhood the crops both of corn and potatoes, are in a most healthy and flourishing condition ; the latter will atfbrd very general relief from about the first to the 10th of August, saving the potato crop up to this (10th of August) will prevent great waste and be of considerable advantage next year. But un the Ist of August even very great relief will be attbrded. should imagine that the whole district of Connemara would be safely brought to the Ist of August by about leo tons of meal sparingly and judiciously managed." (From Assistant-Commissary-Gcneral Williams, the Agent of _ this Committee, dated Newport, Mayo, July 5, 1831.) , " In about three weeks all the'distress will, I hope, be over. NO more provisions need, I imagine, be sent after those already purchased arrive; nor do I think any moremoney will be required." (From Lieut. Tenfold, R.N. of the Coast Guard.) " Guidore, Donegal, July 8, 1831. " All is well ! the Olive Branch is its Rutland with fifty-six tons of meal and thirteen tons of potatoes ; with this :Old the supplies expected, I hope, nay lam sure, the wants of all ltosses and Tulloughabigly will be fully satisfied, and the new crop will be allowed to go its time." The above extracts may perhaps appear unnecessarily extended, when there remains behind the following evidence in support of the vielt.s they have adopted. At all events, it would be improper to withbon the valuable testimony of a prelate whose abundant labours on behalf of the poor in his diocese have, on the present, as well as on other occa sions, acquired for him the love and admiration of all who have marked his disinterested course." (From his Grace the Archbishop of Tuam, dated Seamo u nt. Galway, July 11, 1831.)

Note.—Lists of Subscriptions received, and the grants made by this Committee to the9th July inclusive, are to be obtained at Exeter Hall ; and it is intended that the Bankers' books, bills of parcels, vouchers, &c., shall remain there for inspection whenever the service is cum- pleted and the accounts made up. THE MANSION contains spacious and well-proportioned dining, drawing, library, breakfast and billiard-rooms, eight excellent bed chambers, two staircases, a kitchen, scullery, and nume rous attached and detached offices, the whole admirably fitted and in good preservation. THE PREMISES consist of stable-yard, two coach-houses, six-stall stable, loft, and granary, saddle and harness-room, dovecote and poultry-yard, highly productive, walled, and other gardens, stocked with the choicest fruit trees, shubbery, and EIGHT ACRES OF VALUABLE PASTURE LAND, the whole lying extremely compact, and abundantly supplied with the finest water. The neighbourhood is proverbially healthy; coaches pass and repass within a quarter of a mile of the house every hour in the (lay ; and within three miles of tLe place large and beautiful steam-packets start twice every day to and from the metropolis. With these great accommodations, it is presumed the Estate, either as a residence for a Private Family, or for a Public School, stands unrivalled, even in this much ad mired county. Ilent to a respectable tenant will be moderate ; awl, if sold, a considerable part of the purchase money may re main on mortgage at 4 per cent, for five or seven years certain, if required. For further particulars, apply (if by letter, post paid ) to James Siturnons, Esq., solicitor, Rochester. LANDS IN ABERDEENSHIRE. TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE BARGAIN, /THE LANDS and BARONY of STRI- A- CHEN, and others, comprehending the whole of the parish of Strichen (excepting about Fifteen Acres) and a part of the adjoining parishes of Fraserburgh and Old Deer. The Estate contains about 8,800 Scotch Acres, of which, about 5,400 are Arable, and a considerable part of the remainder is capable of being made so, with great advantage. There is an elegant Mansion-house lately built, sur rounded with well-grown timber, and suitable offices of every description, ail in the most complete repair, together with pleasure ground and gardens, fit for the accommoda tion of a family of distinction. These, together with the Home Farm, extending to about 207 Scotch Acres arable, well sheltered and surrounded with plantations, and track of muirland moss and pasture, extending to between 1,700 and 1,800 Scotch Acres, reserved for a game preserve, are in the possession of the Proprietor. The whole of this Estate having come out of lease in 1823, at a time when farm produce was lower than for many years before or since, it was let on improving leases for a short term ; and since that time various beneficial improvements have been made by the Proprietor at the expense of several thousand pounds, by means of which the rents will be greatly increased as soon as the leas ex pire. The present rent (exclusive of the ho"ce, gardens, and offices, and also the timber) is about 3,6001. sterling free, after deduction of the public burdens; but, upon the most moderate computation, there will be a rise at the termination of the existing leases of at least 7001. per annum. Almost the whole of these leases expire in five or nine years hence, and so far as new leases have been granted since the general set in 1823, the expected rises have been uniformly obtained. The tenants are it very in dustrious class, and pay their rents with great punctuality. The thriving village of Strichen belongs to this Estate, and there are near 307 Scotch Acres under plantation, of different ages ; also the Patronage of the Parish Church of Strichen, which it is proposed to include in the sale. There is good Grouse Shooting on the Hill of INlor mond, belonging to the Estate, and the greatest abundance of Hares, Partridges, and other Game on the lower ground. The Lands hold of the Crown, and the valued rent is about 2,055/. Sects. The teinds are valued and exhausted, except those in the parish of Old Deer. The Church, Manse, and School house, are in complete repair. For farther particulars application may be made to the proprietor, Beaufort Thomas stleby Inverness; Fr a s j e o r, E m . of Macpherson, L ova E t, at q. his factor at "leanly, by Inverness; John Anderson, Esq. , his factor at Strichen, by Aberdeen ; Andrew M'Crae, Esq., 21, Manchester-buildings, Westminster; Messrs.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment on this matter, which was a motion to set aside a writ of sequestration against the Noble defendant, and an order of commitment a gainst his steward, f or a b reach of an injunction issued to resirdin them from cutti ng d own ornamental timber upon the estates in whktl the defendant was only tenant for life and the plaintiffs are entitled to the remainder. Th e orders were made by the Vice-Chancellor, and the motion in this Court was by way of appeal. The case w as of so much importance as to call upon him (the Lord Chancellor) to look carefully into the affidavits on both s id e ,, as they appeared to contain contradictory swearing. It is impossible to say that the injunction was not right originally, although great credit was due to the Noble de feodantsfor stopping from cutting any timber at all, when h e knew of the order of the Court, although that order only restrained him from cutting ornamental timber. His Lordship had examined the pleadings and affidavits, and h e had no reason to doubt that ornamental timber had beet' cut. The cutting was not extensive, only forty or nifty trees, of about ten inches diameter, independent of 6pr ing wood. His Lordship slid he considered this matter tion for the good conduct of the Noble defendant; but he saw no ground for reversing his Honour's order, and dis missed and a favourable incliva :lai:a:al with costs. ::iiBAlfdtaerlteal:ecnoimntitiarsation between his Lordship, Mr. Knight, ju e .

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HO USE OF L ORD S, Juar 15. The Earl of GROSVENOR presented a petition from Stockport against the importation of foreign corn ; also two petitions from Welsbpool and Dorset, against slavery. The I3ishop of BRISTOL presented a petition from a clergyman of the Established Church, praying the House not to sinction any measure for the abolition of tithes. Lord LORTON presented a petition from the trades of Boyle, in the county of Roscommon, in favour of the repeal of the Union. Though the Noble Lord could not support the petition, he considered it necessary that some measure should be adopted for giving employment to the starving poor, as the only means of tranquillizing the public mind in Ireland. The Marquis of WESTMEATH hell a declaration in his hand against the prayer of the petition, which was signed by all the wealth and respectability of the county of Roscommon. Lord TEYNHAM moved for certain returns relative to malt and bops. Lord LONGFORD presented a ietition from West meath against R.form. PLURALITY OF LIVINGS. Lord KING stated, that he had in his hand a Bill, pre pared by himself, for the prevention of the holding of plu rality of livings by the Clergy. A most Reverend Prelate had brought in a Bill on the same subject, but he did not think that it would be effectual for its purpose. Power was left in the hands of the Archbishops or Bishops to grant dispensations for holding a plurality of benefices in certain cases; and, looking to the results of former expe rience, he was not at all satisfied that a Bill with such a provision could prove an effectual remedy for the evil. In his Bill, he had left this power of discretional licensing or dispensing in force with respect to livings where the in come of the whole would not exceed 5001. a year, which was a good average medium. But his Bill proceeded, that when a clergyman held a plurality of livings, the income of which, on the whole, amounted to, or exceeded 5001. a year, the parishioners of any of the parishes might tender and pay to the incumbent the sum of 500/. ; and that, upon this being done, the incumbent should not have the power, by action at law, or otherwise, to recover more than the 500/. This. he believed, would really have the effect of preventing the holding of large livings in plu rality; and if the most Reverend Prelate, and the Right Reverend Prelafes on the Bench, were really desirous of putting an effectual obstacle in the way of the holding of a plurality of livings by one man, they could have no rea sonable objection to his Bill. He felt grateful to the moat Reverend Prelate, however, for his admission of the exis tence of the abuse. But it would not do to proceed to the correction of this abuse by a bit-and-bit Reform. They must, without further delay, resort to a real and efficient measure of Reform, and such, he believed, his Bill would prove. The Bishop of LONDON—The Noble Baron was aware that a most Reverend Prelate had introduced a Bill to effect the same object, and if the Noble Baron thought that his plan would be more efficient of the two, he ought to have proposed it by way of amendment to the Bill of the most Reverend Prelate, instead of bringing forward a distinct and separate Bill. The Noble Brron could, if he pleased, propose his plan as an amendment in the Committee on the most Reverend Prelate's Bill. At the same time he thought it right now to state, that the most Noble Baron's plan was highly objectionable. In the granting of dispen sations it would be necessary, under his system, to ascer tain the precise value of the livings, and in many cases it would be impossible to do this. The Nob'e Baron's pro position was liable to another serious objection. Benefices were in many cases one value one day, and of another value on another slay ; and as the value was continually changing, it would be impossible to fix upon any precise sum. Dis putes would be perpetually occurring as to whether livings were of the value of two or three pounds above or below 5001. ; and the p'an would, therefore, prove a fertile source of perpetual collision anti litigation. He hoped, there fore, the Noble Baron would reconsider the matter, and that, if he chose to persist in his measure, he could pro pose it as an amendment in the Committee on the Bill of the most Reverend Prelate. Lord KING—He certainly had no wi;11 to lay the foun dation for perpetual litigation between an incumbent and his parishioners. His object was the very reverse, and such would be the effect of his Bill ; for the parishioners had only to tender the 500/., and then there would be no room left for litigation. As to the svgestion, that he should propose his plan as an amendment to the Bill of the most Rev. Prelate, his Bill was really so different from the most Rev. Prelate's Bill, that h 5 thought it much better to propose it as a separate and distinct measure. The Duke of WELLINGTON tho ight that this was not the most convenient time to discus+ this matter. He considered the Bill of the Noble Baron (King) went di rectly to alienate the property of the Church and limit the revenue of the Clergy. Lord KING then brought in his Bill, which he moved should be printed ; which was agreed to. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third read ing of the Abolition of Oaths' Bill. The Noble Lord said that in former times the Legislature hiving thought it ne cessary to protect the revenue of the country by a vast number of oaths, his Majesty's Government had taken it into their consideration, and they thought it would be better to abolish the oaths in certain cases, and substitute a declaration in place. He thought that the interests of religion would be served by the proposed change, for in the last year, in one department of the Cus toms, 10,000 oaths had been taken, and in one depart ment of the Excise 12,000, Many of these must have been on frivolous occasions, which would much weaken the force on the person's understanding which such a olemn obligation ought to have. The Bishop of LONDON congratulated his Majesty's Ministers on the beginning which they had made by this Bill, and hoped they would carry tho same plan into effect in other departments.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He really thought that the Magistrates of Loudon were too lax in their administration of oaths, as was proved by placards to be seen in almost every part of London, purporting to be affidavits snorn before some City Magistrate, as to the number of stamps used by a particular Newspaper. The Rev. Prelate was of opinion that this was an occasion too frivolous for a solemn oath to be taken upon, Lord WYNFORD said that such oaths hail been dm dared to 1)r illegal by the Court of King's Bench four years ago. The Noble Lord took this occasion to state his doubts whether the penalty of 1001. for a false declaration was large enough, as their Lordships would be tvell aware that some parties would be better served by it tyment of the IN/. than adhering to the truth, Lord KING suggested that the best made of putting a stop to the iliegal oaths alluded to by the Rev. Prelate would be to abolish the fees on such oaths, and then the Magistrates' clerks would take care that none such were taken. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. BELGIAN NEGOCIATIONS. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose to put some questions to the Noble Earl opposite (Grey) on the subject of the negociations between the fire great Powers with re ference to the settlement of Belgium. Ile supposed the Noble Earl was the proper person to apply to, as the Fo reign Secretary was not a Member of their Lordships' House. He understood that an Illustrious Friend of hip, who had been chosen King of Belgium, and had accepted that honour, was about to leave this country to-morrow, in order to proceed to his new kingdom. Now he wished to know whether the negociations on the subject of Bel gium had come to a close, and what had been the - emit? lie also was anxious to know whether Cho Noble Eral in tended to lay on the table of this House, for the informa tion of their Lordships, the papers relating to these nego tiations, which had partially already appeared in the public papers ; and more particularly whether be meant to lay before the House a certain hasty lettet:,, addressed to the Belgian Congress, by a certain Noble Lord whom the Noble Earl had prais,:d highly, although it rtil 4 ht b e doubted whether the Ambassadors of the o'bei great Powers would join in these praises ? He felt s rongt r on the subject of t h e o fNtohbelsee Lord sh negotiations ould ; not t d ein satisfactory,c ase Chan swer h e would take an early opport un it y o f su b m i tt i ng to their Lordships a naot*.on ou; the subject, And then state his opinion at large at the proper time. 'The Prince to whom he had alluded had been preserved from the Acceptance of the Sovereignty of Greece ; but he suspected that he had been so preserved only to be thrown adrift on a much more tempestuous ocean; for suc h th e th rone o f B e l g i um would prove in case the negociations had not been brought to a point.

Of all the indivi duals that c ou ld b e chosen, he thought that thi s Ill ustr i ous Person was the most likely to continue the jealousy With which France would always regard this country with re . ference to the subject of Belgium. ' The acceptance of the 12elgic Crown by the Prince was therefore more likely to endanger the peace of Europe than to preserve ir. H e asked whether the Noble Earl intended to lay these papers on the table. and if he did he wished to know when he would do so? Earl GREY did not feel himself called upon at present to notice any opinions that might be given as to the conduct or the result of the negotiations on the subject of Belgium, nor would he at present give any opinion of his own on the subject. When the prop e r time came for the discus sion of the question, he would then give such answers as he trusted would be satisfactory to their Lordships. At present he would confine himself simply to the question. whether it was his intention to make any communication , to their Lordships on the subject of these negotiations, and whether he meant to lay the papers on the table ? In In met. to that question, he would say, that he thought that his Majesty would be advised to make a communication to their Lordships on this subject, and to lay the papers r n their table. As to the time at which this should be deice, it had been usual to leave that to the discretion of his Ma jesty's Ministers, except under very special circumetancee. When the time strived that the communications could he made without injury to the public service, he believed that they would be made ; and then he would make a state ment which, he hoped, would be satis'actory to their Lord ships , As to the income of 50.000/. to which the Noble Marquis had adverted, that was a point on which no question ought to have been put; and to which, being put, no answer ought to be given ; for the matter was already regulated by Act of Parliament, and Ministers • had no controulover it. The Marquis of LONDONDERR Y hoped that the communications would not be long delayed. He would abstain from saying anything further on the subject at pre sent : but, if the communication alaaild be long delayed, he would again call their Lordships' attention to the subject. RISH COUNTY LORDS LIEUTENANTS' BILL. Lord MELBOURNE moved the third readins , of the :rich County Lords Lieutenants' BPI. The Earl of WICKLOW adverted to the clause which gave the Lord Lieutenants the power to appoint Vice- Lieutenants to act in their stead, in ca , e of any tempo rary absence of the Lords' Lieutenant in the discharge of his public duties. He understood that the Vice-Lieutenants would, under this clause, have the same authority in the appointment of officers of the militia as the Lord Lieu tenant had, and he wished to know whether that was in tended ? Lord MELBOURNE answered, that it wa nct so in-. tended, who re the absence of the principal was merely temporary, or only for a short time. The Earl of WICKLOW suggested that tin re silo d I be an alteration in the wording of the clause, No sto leave no doubt about the matter. The Duke of WELLINGTON was himself the person who had suggestel the insertion of this clause in the Bill. One gre:lt olject of the appointment of Lords Lieutenants of counties was, that they might communicate with the Government on the state and condition of the county; and when the Lords Lieutenants were absent on their pub ' lie duties in Parliament, or otherwise, they could not render a proper account to Government on the state of the counties, unless they had the a.sistance of a Vice-Lieu tenant. Where the Lords Lieutenant's absence was only temporary, then it was unnecessary to give the Viee- Liteutenants the power of appointin g militia officers ; but where the absence of the Lord Lieutenant was to he of considerable duration, then the Vice-Lieutenants ought to have the whole powers of the Lords Lieutenants. The Lords Lieutenants might be expected to act with a wise discretion in the appointment of Vice-Lieutenants, and in the power to be entrustel to them, and it was fitting that the Lords Lieutenants should have this discretion ; and he was of opinion that the clause ought to be left as it stood. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY repeated the as sertions which be had made on former occasions, that this Bill would throw a great weight of influence and patro nage into the hands of Ministers; arid he saw no hopes that they would appoint to these situations such persona as had been most distin4uished for their loyalty. He was sorry that the Bill was pressed forward with so much hurry, and before certain returns which be had moved for - were laid on the table. On the whole, he decidedly , oba tected to the Bill, more especially as he considered it as the forerunner of a Bill to abolish the office of Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, which he considered a pernicious measure, and one which put in great hazard the eon. tinuance of the union between the two countries. Lord FARNHAM adverted to the circumstance which he had noticed on a former evening —which was, that while the English Lords Lieutenants had the power to ap point the Militia Colonels, the Irish Lords Lieutenants were not to have that power. There was a distinction, therefore, made between the systems, and he thought that objectionable. Ile did not agree with his Noble Friend (Londonderry) that this measure would greatly increase the patronage of the Ministers. On the contrary, he believed that it would be diffieult to get };rop e r persons to accept the situations, and foe that reason be thought that care should be taken not to degrade the office. Tie did not mean to oppose the principle of the Bill, but he thought that it had been loosely and carelessly drawn. Ile wished that the third reading should stand over until Monday next, to allow time for making such alterations that the clause should express the intention of the mover. Lord MELBOURNE said, that if it were the wish of their Lordships that the Bill should give power to the Lords Lieutenants of counties to appoint the Colonels of Militia in their respective counties, he would make no objection to such an alteration to that Effect. He thought, perhaps, it would be better that the third reading should be postponed to Monday, so that the Bill might be altered in the mean time. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in reading the Bill, had thought that it waa intended to give the Lords Leute 'tants of counties the power of appointing Colonels, bat he thought it desirable that their appointment should ho sub ject to the approbation or objection of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. BANKRUPTCY COURT BILL The LORD CHANCELLOR rose, pursuant to notice, to move the first reading of the Bankruptcy Court 13111. It was in principle, and in most of its details, the same Bill as be had introduced in the last Session. Ile had applied as he hail skated he would do, in the interval, to the careful re-:consideration of every part of this Bill; and as becanawhim under the circumstances, he had availed him-. self of the assistance of other Judges, not only of the equity, hut of the common law Courts. 'With their aid, he had effected what he looked upon as considerable improvements in most of the details of the Bill. The ituportatit powers of the official assignee were in some respects restricted, and were more accurately defined in this than in the last Bill. He knew that there were gentlemen in the city, but lien= hips not persons of the greatest weight, who were de sirous that the WI should omit the appointment of of f icial assignees ahogether. He would say net inure on the sub-- jecit until their Lordships should 1) ave had an opportunity of seeing all the details of tlie Lord WYNFORLI had no intention to oppose the Bill. He hoped, however, that full time would he given to ex amine all its provisions. The LORD CHANCELLOR should take full tiroe for consideration. On another day Le should move the: second reading, in order that the Bill might go intct the Corn_ twitter, and be there fully dacussed in all its details. The Bill was thin read a first time, ana ordered to be printed, EAST INDIA PENSIONS. Mr. Danvers, from the Etst India House, pref., nte at the liar the usual lint of pensions.
