BIUGILT,WaS astonished that the question shgatd Le .treated as a Mere question of Judges had done wrong, and he denied tt;at .- Mr. Justice Best, though he might justify •Limself by argument, could do so by vecedent. • Thii;.w.s the first time that a Judge had imposed: thiee fines,: and then annulled -them The doC trine :of contempt, if thus acted upon, would lead tb - the 'most . terrible, oppression. There should be a-Court of Appeal to correct the .hasty con ciuct Judges:. The 'grievance bad lately. grown op, ,and was increasing. Ile called on:the house to have the Petition read and printed, and to time a CoMmittee appointed to consider it. ItuTcnlNsos was disposed to believe tha:: helhad misenderstood the Noble Lord, who, he Leiieved, had not read the Petition himself, and on the- opinions of others. Was it to be en:lured,. that the Minister of the Crown, should say it,was enough _to-. have .the opinions of his Learned Friends, and not hear himself a 'Petition from . one of the People. Time plain laqguage was, that after the measures of the Noble. Lord ,had goaded the people to- mad ttess, lie not .listen to thei-r complaints.— ile.would be happy to. Lind that he had miscon- ceived the Noble Lord. Lord C.ItLEREAGII said he had been- miscon •!ceived in •a most 'extraordinary manner. Upon the. maxim .of, the Member, all Petitions ai hatsoeyer were to be received, and the House would have, no. discretion. . Lord ALTHORP 3, : 0u1fl have that confidence in a ,iVember of Parliament, that he would not pre sent an_improper Petition. He hoped, the Noble Lard would not object to. the Petition being brooglit up. 7 ,;',I*.r.WYNNE said, that a Petition had been put into Ids hands by a Gentleman, complaining of a judgment of the King's .Bench, and he had re fused ,to present it, as there was a constitutional rTruedy, by appeal to the House of Lords. In .c.a.,:ies like the present, it was difficult to draw a line: .but if the Judge. had done wron,g, the proper mode was by impeachment, or address to the Crown. -.51r. BERNAL thought,the matter should not be rested on the mere question of right. He would not: encourage disrespectful language ; but he thoug.ht i the Petition should be read. : Mr. 111:rtitssoN stated,the usual .practice to,be for the Member himself to state the subject of the -Petition. The Petition- stated, that after the Judge had obtained his end, to prevent the, .Pe titioner froth being heard, he. had remitted. the .lines. Such a slatement he conceived to be highly libellous. An injury would be. done to the right of petitioning by receiving stich,a Petition. .Sir_ fit. F ERG usON should vote, that the Peti tiO2 :be .read. Whether it ‘ should be laid on the Table, was another consideration. The Noble . Lord had, for the first time, told the House of Xommons to reject a Petition unheard and un read, - -• ' • -! • • .Mr. G. BANK-ES would oppose the Petition,, as the lionatiember (Mr. D.) had no measure to propose ,upou it. Ike regretted that the name of an .gou. Judge had been brought before the House ixt the way, it had._ He understood the Isiolde Lord to object to the Pef.ition, because he . knew the contents of. it. • I CURVY:EN had, long.sat in that House, but I - ; ....had beard language used that night that he • had never heard before. He was •happy that -the Petition had been preseated, as he was now satklied that the, Learned Judge had acted right. Should the Petition be read, he believed that he Should oppose its lying on the table, on ACCOIIOI of what Vail been _said. of the Learned . Judge. Ile knew there %YRS a point when resist . noce was lawful, though he could not say where • that point lay ;_,and to, reject the Petition would be to drive the People to that, course. Mr, Lgxo contended that the Noble Lord , .(Casltlereagli) had..nev.er wished to narrow the ri ht of petitioning, however ccervenient it might .- be for,Gentlemen opposite to make such a charge ; though the Member, for Cumberland approved :• ,tite - ecanductof the Judge, still lie, thought the Petition that imputed gross misconduct to him Atould be brought up.• If all the'Petitions criminately were to be brought up, then the rules.' • of the House should be altered. P.. GRANT and Mr. Low explained. Sir J NxweQAT•observed, that the first clues was,„ that the, Iletition should be read ; and • if the Menibey who . .presented.the Petition, stated . ihiat.it was _conveyed hi respectful terms, the usual practice, was, that the _Petition should bo .brought up., In times of public distress the right otpetitioning 'should least. of all be restricted. - /101.1 - lust. protest against the doctrine that the „, Paition,should not be received, because no ul terior measure was in contemplation. r :Mr.. VANSITTART said, that in all Petitions, .. except those of• Elections, a. question was put• • • whether they should be received ; and the ground • ~of libel had, atways been a valid objection. In ,• the present case, the Member who Presented the • Petition, admitted there was a libel in it. ,• ThotmAN had, not said that . .the Petition contained a. libel,. bat only a charge,; and had a 490 said, from his knowledge of the Learned Judzeibe rqgretted the charge had been made. no had mentioned two spe . citic measures on the , ,anklect of the. Petition, by referringa either to th- Crand Conimittee of Justice, or to a Select Corntuittee.' Jle had great doubts if a contempt lutd beets committed, from the language applied tfo !he Bar, . , _ • - Mr. could assure the Learned G en tleman; that if he presented. petitions front all that complained of. the eoutluct of Judges, he, would 'be .diverted from 'a more. lucrative employ ment. " Corruption only on the part of the Judge cot:ld . justify' the reception of such a petition. Th.e.

The CIIANCELLOR of the F.:Xi:IP:Q(7ER replied, lha• as it was the regular practice- of the Treasury not to issue money fir the payment of. these Bills till they had been m - tually presented foracceptance, 'it was impossible that any accident of the:nature alluded to by the lion.

The Chief of the Senate had a salary of 4000 dollars ; now he believed he got SOO dui lars.—He complanted of their expending, as he understood . , 80,000 dollars in building a useless Palace for the Lord High Commissioner,when there was . a Palace before, and when I hey could Hot pay the esp-nee of their Military establishment. re .also com plained that the Order of the lonian Islands had been bestowed by the LordllighCommissioner, not on the first eiti-, • zeosrif I,i a nd., t i nt on those who had been subservient to this Lord High Commissioner, The expellees of the jewels ' of this Order, he was inforined, would be. 40,000 dollars undct stood that the 'moot:use income of the Colony was ±rvvallowcii up by salaries give,' to Magistrates, who.then be tainr creature; nf the Lord Mei Commissioner, while for• merle theSe offices used to be held by the most respectable alt the inhabitants, without any expense but what they were at the npelves.

Gentleman had disclaimed any. intention of imputing any thing personal to Sir T. Maitland: butt n o thing could be more 1, t sonal than to charge an Offict4 with consulting his titivate interest rather than that of the set vice on which he was sent. He admitted theist there Witr, a great increase of revenue in these Islands since they were under the print ction of Russia; and a nomi nal increase of expeniliture.—'riiis increase was tot caused by any new taxes; lint by care on the part of the governing ho rities to prevent the taxes from bring diverted into the pockets of private indivi . duals. . Formerly the taxes. were collected Iry the Noblemen, who made. large fortunes, by waking good the taxes to the Government, and exacting much more nut of the people. It was far better to have, as in this country, responsible Officers, under fixed salaries The Church property load been restored, by taking it from those who uojustly withheld it. - This was done to give relief to a . stareine Clergy; rind to give moral and religious instruction tollte People. Rut the insurrection said to hare been raised on this account, was excited on a pretence that the Militia raised were to be sent to-die in the West Indies. If Officers tinder the .Lord - High Commissioner did hold several situa tions, as he kne .v some dul, yet they were held without any additional salarie.,to those which they riceive tor their stogie supeCor si nations. This was the un f •rm ',vac lice of Sir 'l'. Maitland. - I%l:iclt boil heen said about soi a Palace for the Lord Iligh Commissiontr.—The tact wa.., that .the Sertat, decreed a separate residence to him ; fur Ihe only palace Jae h .d. occupied since his residence in that island was a bed room ; and a Sitting room for his private Secretary; his dining.roem bi ink ti.e place' of meeting for Gie Senate ; and his drawing ,rouni the place of sit:in4 of the Legislative As sembly. When these Bodies Were assembled, he Was confined to his bed roof and his sittiug room ; and when they wished him to open the Legislature by a splendid Procession, how dis appointed were they when they found that he walked from his bet-room to theSeaate. Some of Sir T. Maitland's visitor. tell through • the dour of the 'loose in which h r lived, Sir T. Nlairand had acted in a most exemplary mannerist his office, mid that, perhaps, was thetemin why pe• son+, who had Iteen disapponord in obtaining situations in those Islaudi, honked with a jaundiced eye on al i t he had done. These hail defrayrd :he 4;1, pell, es pf their barrack and whet departments. and nothing remained.for this Govt.' nment to make up but a part of the militiurs expellees. Even in the allowance to the soldiers in these Ish tads, Sir T. Molt latid had elected a saving of 50,0001. iVith respect to the motions of the Hun. Gentle man, lie shinill assent to some, but not to others: for con sideritig that euttutry as a flee and independent State, these were some of those motions which Limit! nut be exacted from them.

It was unwise, in his i pii i in, t ki ep up a set of stirrOdiary Nlagis ti ate• ; and he contended hat the Legislative Bodies of these Islands wile completely under the authority of the Lord High Commi‘sioner. Lord CASTLEREAGH did not regret the facility, if not the c:eiltility, isith.,which the lion Nlerviict ii.ot statements which had hem so successfully' relined. The Noble Lord observed, he hail no wish to disconrage the lion.

[The Times.] Our readers will learn from the subjoined let ter, that the Congress assembled at Liqbach had been engaged in some very serious delibera tions, and had come to a decision of no ordinary magnitude, on the morning of the 6th instant..-- With regard to the precise -object or result of the sitting, it would be presumptuous, on such vague and general information, to offer any guess A private letter from Laybach, dated the 6th ist., states that, " at 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the preceding day, a meeting of the Con gress took place, which continued in close de• liberation till half past 3 o'clock on the follow ing morning. Immediately on the conclusion of the sitting, eleven couriers were sent off with dispatches, as it is conjectured ,to the head quarters of the army, to the sea,ports, and to the principal European Courts." [Morning Chronicle.] Among the. many proofs which present them seves of. the tenacity with which the Members of the present Administration cling to office, there is, perhaps, none stronger than the facility with which one'portion of it waves, in compliment to another, the decided objections to a mostim portant part of our Home Policy, which it has most unequivocally expressed, and pretends Most - deeply to feel. Or are we wrong when we consider the tranquillity of Ireland an object of paramOunt importance ? It is, in the estima tion of Lord Castlereagh, a matter of so little moment, that it may be given up in the exc:hange of courtesies with a Colleague? Is such the opi nion of au honest Irishman, or of a wise States- man ? [Xe nines. A fact has come to our knowledge which speaks'vOlumes, bath as to former error and re cent improvement. A few months ago, when the mania of idle Processions to Brandenburg!) House Was at its height, the weekly payments into the Bank of England on account of the Saving Banks sunk Co not more than 90001. They have since gradually advanced to, 18, 20, and 22,0001. per week, and even more. Thus with a revival of loyalty the honest and indus trious classes have found their own circumstances improved, and their means of economy augment ed : they have advantaged themselves in restor ing tranquillity to the State. [Morning Post.] The Royal Assent was last night . given by Commission to the „Queen's Annuity Bill. ller Majesty is stow provided with an. ample _and magnificent income. All her allowable claims have been concedeth Let her recollect, that what made them allowable, was the mercy shewn her after conviction. If she really possess any of those generous sentiments which her partizans have attributed to her, she. will then fed that gratitude beeotues a person in her situation. her understanding will tell her-that acquiescence with the liberality of Parliament and future silence re specang pretended• rights,. are the only marks of gratitude she can give to that country, which, un der all the' circumstances .of her disgusting case; has thus so generously acted towards her, and to that Monarch,who„ notwithstanding her abuse of his person and his GoVernruent, has -Magnani mously setfhis seal to the splendid grant of Par liament. Tranquillity is become a national want ; • without it the industry of the people cannot revive, and the Legislature cannot devise tnea , sures to protect that industry. To distrtib the attention of 'Parliament froM general objects, by attempts to engross it by individual claims, would therefore be to shut the people out of all relief, and to perpetuate the distresses of the country. We leave it to her • MajestY to decide whether that ought to be the •conduct of a Queen who professes to . feel for the interests of the nation. [British Press.] It is, we much to be -lamented as an event of evil :augury to the liberties of the people that the House of Commons should, on, a review of the military outrage recently perpetri , ted at Kilmainhatn by the command of the 1. i sheriff of the County of Dublin, determine that it was not a case to justify Parliamen tary interference. • The decision too is the •more to be lamented, as the matter was brought before Parliament upon a • Petition couched in the most -moderate .terms, and by a Noble man whose speech was not less distinguished by a sound and temperate judgment, than by its spirit and eloquence. No pretence, therefore, was offered, that the House of Commons, in tak ing the-matter into their more immediate consider ation, would be ministering - to political or personal violence, or gratifying the indulgence of ;private rancour. The petitioners,andthe Noble Lord who brought them before the House, could have been influenced by no other feelings than a desire ,to check a system that is but too common in Ireland, which unfortunately, in one memorable case, has been too successfully introduced in practice ,in England, and which, if not reprobated and dis countenanced, inay spread its balefil influence over every part of the Empire. Mr. Grant's :answer to Lord .i . ohn- Russell's speech, although it offered, as we freely admit, a very sufficient excuse for_ the Irish Government in the conduCt pursued on the occasion by !cord Talbot and the Right lion. secretary, yet it strengthened, in point of fact, the arguments urged by the Noble Mover in favour, of Parliamentary inquiry. Mt: Grant observed, there. were contradic tory and conflicting: statements. This circum staqice was undoubtedly sufficient excuse for the (;oeernmeo not to interfere by the removal, putilsbm.eut, or approbation . of the Sheriff, but it furuishod a more urgent cause for inquiry. We are-rejoiced to state th:lt advices from most of the manufacturing towns reprt.sent the happy revival of trade, and the consequent emplayirne:;t of the working classes.

A- great mass of evidet►" adduced on Loth sides, into which it is impossibl.,l to•t titer into any thing like detail. The substan tial question at issue was, not whether Mr; Bert was a lunatic, but whether he did not labour under snit a degree of mental. imb.c:cility, arlsi from some latent organic defect, as to render it _ . improper for him. to have the uncontrouled government of ithnself and the mandgernetlt of; th estate. He was the eldest son of Thomas llihbt-i'r; EFq., who died, in I 506,, pOssessed _of . . _ . \Vest India estates, and conSidertNe . property, leaving issue . the young ti,entletntan in question, two other sons and a danglitir, by Mrs. l 4 ihbert, now living, 'formerly a .

In his earlieq infancy he evinced unusual proficiency in dimental know ledg•e, and A-ave great promise•ne a vigorous and enlarg - ed understanding. 'Pos.sei. , .-- ing a memory of extraordinary retention, he made astonishing progress- in the know led2;k, of classical literature ; but as he advanced' in years, though he had acquired :the stature of maohood, he retained the mental of infautine and, as was stated by the gentlemen who .had successiyelv had tbvf. care of his education,. he was totally devoi4 of the powers of abstractioni . and ratiociautiont, was utterly incapable of coMprehending the first Problem of Euclid's Elements, ,and, was even .dull of understanding to the c o:. o in;in ru l,:s of arithmetic.. The great body ,of evidencl. was (1- rected to the deVeloptnent hiS life from the age of 17 to 25, Which last he attained in Augtst, last, ant a succeEsion of faefs w.ts adduced to support the allegaAott of that childish imbecility on which the Commission as foiinded. Ignorance of the value of money, heedless exiravagtlnce; and anu ngovetnab'y Pas . s'onate temper . ,'Were. ' amoogst other features of h'S conduct, advanced '.s ea raCteristic of his m .n al incapacity ; hut, on all hands, he was admitted to be . free f: mu the u: s al, vices of yonth. 'Several medical gentkinew cf the first eilinence were examined, the result or whose opinion was, that' th nigh the' experiments they had n ade to asc Ttain 'the sanity of his Mind would not justly them in signing a certifi cate of , lunacy, yet hat they could not be war ranted in pronouncing h nvto he'a person. of Sane intellect, .o whom the management of his affair; might be Ea e'y entrusted. On the other hand,. a great number of w.tuesses (principally col 7 lateral branches of his fa. it' ftmily) was duced, who, though they 'admitted, that he was a young man of extremely yi'ealcmind, arising froru an infirmity of physical constitution, yet that, he was as capable, in the ordinary : affairs of life, of managing his coicerns as nine. ypueg men in tett who were brought up under the expectation of inheriting large fortune ..: . :The medical gentle men examined were also of opinion,,that tho u gh he was a young man of in fnm intellea,yet the ii!- lirrnity was not sta r ch as would .justify them in de daring that he was unlit to be entrusted with the management of his own affairs. The CliiEr JUSTICE had in part S'ITTIITIf . d nn the case, when the jUt•Y - :iiiteCliosed, anti expressed themselves satisfied ; but his Lord ship aid it would, pet hap be more factory if they were to hear the case throug-,b, more particularly. as , the result of the :i►t' quiry., would be certified into Charicery;- - and, accordingly, his Lordship proceeded to re capitulate "the prominent features of the oti.ge, leaving the question for their consideration ill the terms of the issue on the record.
