IMPERIAL PA.LIL.I44,IIEAU. HOUSE .OF PEERS. INtUNESDAY, •MAY 11. Covwsta. were heard relatiVe to. the Scotch Ali. . peal, the Carson Company v. Ogilvie, .tamely, Mr. CI, ARK E, Itl Cot i tind+ttion, on the p.ttt of the Ap_ pellants, and Mr. Au Am, as leading Counsel fur the ,ReSplntent. At er which the' further hearing was:adjourned till Friday. On-the Motion of the Earl of RAD Nbi. the Com- , 'rnittee of Privileges was ordered to sit to-morrow. ; Lord AUCKLAND having moved for the - produe. lion of an Account of the. 'Net Permanent Revenue, far as it had been made up, the same was accord.. ingly pretented by .Mr. HERR' ES, frOm the Trea. bury ; and certain Accounts, relative to.the EXcise, were ordered to he laid before the House on the Mu. , tion of hit, Lordship. Lord Ha BART presented the Order of Council prohibitory of the Exportation of Pig.lron and Warlike .Stores, for the COast of Africa, except suclf'as might be requisite for the Service orthe Bri tish Garrisons, &c. in those parts. Ordered to li4 on the Table. The Bills upon the Table were forwarded in their several stages. Lord C R I GTON observed, that being of opinion the Nottingham EleOion Bill should pass with aim eorivenient expedition', it was his inten tion to have moved for its second reading, had he seen a Noble Lord, who appeared to .interest self on the occasion, in his place. He then- gave Notice, that he should, so we understood his Lurd. Ships move for its, second reading on Friday. After , transAti - Og some private business, their Lordships adjourned till to.morrow. 110 USE OP COMMONS. wFuNESDAY, MAY Camel B WELL rose, and stated to the House, • that an order was made out, on the zd. of March bast, to have laid before the HoUse, by the Clerks of the Peace for the different Counties of Leland, an 'account of all the Freeholders of sol. 4til. and Os. 'in that Country, collcdively ; but as that rder had not been obeyed,, he sh , old now move, that the Clerks of the Peace far the different Coun. ties of Ireland be ordered to lay before the House the returns of the number of Freeholders in their respedi v e Counties; whieh, after . a shun conver. talon, was' ordered. Mr. FITZGERALD said, that 'there was a Bill upon the Table in thisliouse, which contained pro, vprons of More extensive' utility than he had.et , er seen in a Bill of a similar kind, and he wished that those provisions shciuld be extended to Ireland, which might be ; done by the insertion of a few words, when ilte Bill was in a C ommittee, which he should prefer doing, to that of bringing in a separate Bill. The 818 he alluded to was lot 'pre. veining frivolou-; and vexatious Arrests. If it was Jegnlar, be would move that it he read a first time. The Hill wai then read a first time,, and ordered to be real a seeor,d time tomorrow. The Scotch Schooliilastersi was read a second time, and committed to it Sclett Committee. Lord CASTLEAFAGH, moved the Order of the Day l for the third reading of the East India Com pany Vobinteers . The Bill was then read ; a third time and parsed. Mr. V4ltstr-rAwr moved 10 postpone the ,Cain. irittce of the. Me.dieine Duty I ill to Friday next.-- Tin! Silver Bullion Exportation Bill was read a teco.t.A. tune, ,and o;..ioreti it) be committed to a Committee of the syboie House on Frits)? next. The Lunatic Estate Bill was read at third time, and pat,hed, . The HOur,e Went, into a , Committee on the Irish Courts of Law Bill . ,—Sever,ll verb,ll alterations verve provoed to be aside in the ditTcrent.clans6, vvhielt proditQed short conversation between Mr. s and , everal order :Members, alter which the cl4t,w , es: were tigr:ed to, Tire only clituse rim( recopied much time in the Committee, %%IA that which grants •tt coalpensition tint euceeiiing, 30001. to persons h o lding offices dui.. plcasOre in the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. 14r. LEt sul.ported the clause, and urged several 4rsuments_ to prove s that those Gentlemen who , would'Eutter, by the. operation' of the present Bill, ought to have a compensation for din l os s of in. come, which would be likely to ensue this Bill ohutild pass into a law., Aker a few observations from LlrtlDuxt.ow ,and Mr. Fvrpsta4i,r), Mr. GREY saiil, he could not subscribe to the elaOse under consideration, as there appeared to him an inC4isistency between the other-parts of the • Bill and !he chase in question. The Bill had fca Its ollied the abolition of many abuses -which have long existed in the Court of Exchequer, and to prevem the evils complained of, it gives a proce i s en the Courts of King's Bench and Common' Fleas, which at present belorigt;ii exclusively to . the Ex. .cliegiter ; .yet the Ililt coutaiotd it Clause to grant a compensation to those -persons who have received great hene6ls, from the abwes.this goes to de. awl', : At any rate, those persons who were to receive the henefits.of. this clause, -should only re. gain them whilst they held no other office Of equal or superior value. 1llr.111:4GGE said, that those persons who held offices in the Court. of Exchequer in Ireland, 'did pot derive the advantrig6., for the 1051 of which it * , ; , 8 proposed to grant them compensAtion from any uhttieti in that C9ttrt, but trout the operation of sin Adi of the Iriqh Parliament, passed - twenty years pg.,, by means of which a great additional v . /mil hUillltts thrown into the Court of Exchequer, which hy• the Opepition of, the present litli would 'would be taken from it, It was therefore but air to grant those Officers, a compensation for the -V a ses . willich • they would in . consequence 'Swain'. • FOX ogreet) with his Hon. Friend (Nit% Gik vy), and ebherved that the Bill proved that wa4 a faulry ...:onstitution with regrita to the I;;:nirr of fNeitreper in belmi, and went to alum' it. The lv.inos of th,it Court would, by the ore: rat i on o f t h e Bi,t, be lebt,ty.d • but it ,t - . - if the number of suits were dimirlitihed its anyVourt, from atiy 'accident:o cau:ies, that the Officers who. derived fees from thp3e suits had .'right 10 detband' compensation. If the number of critnes were tole di. Ginished, it would be extremely ext raord i Ira ry yi the aoler and the Hangm:ni were to demand compensa tion .for thediminutiOn ot their fees. It appeared tventy years ago ! , a Bill passed through the Irish Parliament, which went to remove same of the busi. ness of 'Courts of King's-Bench and - Common Pleas to the Court ot Exchequer, yet no compen. S3dOn ‘va asked for, or .given to the Officets of either of the former Courts ; be thought the• prin. CiPie a ita.i nnel and Therefore sliotfal not give the Bill .his support. • • The-CLI,INCE4LOR of he EXVIEQUER said, it was not a claim of right set up by , the Officers, but an appeal' to the generosity of the House for some coillpensation for the loss of fees by the opc_ ration of the present • Bill,. which they had enjoyed by the operation of an Mt' of the Irish Parliament, In that point of view he thought they were fairly entitled- to some compensation. After a ;few - observations' from My. K INNAIRD and Mr. TIERNEY, the Chiuse, as amended, was agreed to, and the House having resumed, the Report Was ordered to be brought up to-morrow,. A message from the Lords stated, that they had agreed to a private Bill without•any amendment. The CIIANCELLOR of the E*CII%.QUER brought up,-by command of His MAjesty, copies of certain orders of Council, prohibiting the exportation of Naval Stcres, which were ordered to lie on the Table. Lord TEMPLE moved that they shimid be printed. —Ord e red. Loan TrArrLE gave notice that he should move tomorrow for certain papers relative to the expor tation of Nav'al Stores, if certain circumstances took dace, as he supposed they would. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that that part of the King's Speech v'hich related to granting greater facilities to mercantile transac tions, should be taken into consideration on Mon. day next.—Ordered. The Cornmir•tees of Supply and Ways and Means were postponed to Fridoy. Sir WILLIAM SCOTT moved the Ordpr of the Day for resuming a Committee on the Clergymen's Residrnce The House !raving rcsoli , e4 itself into the Corn. mittee, the Clause was read respeding the state. ment robe made by Elie Clergyman cm applying for leave of absence, and upon the' Licence to be granted by the Bishop. It waS' contended by Ms.. RMNE and Mr. D. RYD2R, that although there was no ground toisuppose that in this case the shop would a t with.any partiality, yet to prevent all possibility of suspicion, it Would be better if the Licence of the BiNlcolt should contain so much of the statement of the Clergyman a wotild show the ground upon which the Licence was granted. Sir IV. SCOTT said, he had intedded to insert a provision of that kind in the Bill, but it was acci dentally omitted; bot h e would propose an Amend, ment to that dred,'which he did, and it was agreed to. On that part of the Clause which authotizes the Bishop to permit a Clergyman to- reside in xnoth'er house, if the Parsonage.house was unfit int residence, . Mr. R4INE said, he was apprehensive that aim wo&d.operate as an inducement to Clergymen to Wilk& their parsonage-hauses, which would be a seriow, injury. Sir ir.scorr. said, there was no reason to ap. prebend that the 'Bishop would grant the Licence, unless there was good ground for it. In makirq; this provision, his objed was to provide for cases where the parsonage-bouse was not only unfit for the risid•nc., of the Clergyman, but could not be made fit for him by any' money that could be laid out upon it. This was frequently the case, parti. cularly lo London. A Case occurred a. feW years ago, whore an aetinn was brought against the elergyinao . of the Parish of Bow fur ,not residing in the parsur3ge.liouse, whereas, in fa& it was so small, Ow it was totally unfit for his residence, and was only calculated for its present Tenant, who is, ttn apple-woinan. The Clergyman was coin. pellet! An pay the penalties. Another Case came within his knowledge. 'A. Clergyman, who had a tolerable .good parsoriage.house near . London, but the ground. Close to it was ocCupied, two or three nights in' the week by cattle going to Smithfield market ; so that,'• on • those, nights, neither the - Clergyman nor any of his family could„ get 'any rest, f•om the noise' O the brutes, and of the still greater Urines that drove them. Air. BURTON proposed as an amendment, that one tw t+icrh' V art of the profits of Livings: should be set a,i,ie for the purpose of keeping .the parson age h,cuse* in - repair. , This' amendment was opposed by . time CH N.cE L LQ R of the Fxcirntigtt,'Sir J. Nicitot,%., and Dr. LAWittxt,:i. • " • Sir VV. Poi.ii*N . said a few words. liflS E thought that s4ine . provision should he made io the Rill for'reporting to the Bishop the state and condition of tie Parsonage I louses in which the incumbent did not reside ; there were m an y eonveniencies for want of this power ;, this teas not an imaginary ease—he knew of many cases in which Clergymen resided in houses of their own when they fwd. Parsonage Houses. Mr, G t LES said a few words. Mr. BURTON sold, - • there - were thousand in. stances, i 0 which the parsonage Houses - were tota lly unlit for the residence of a Clergyman. The Bishop m i ght h jy , aut hority to ,order, but he cOuld ,not have viand power to elforce; the improvement of the P.irsonage House ; ;nutty of the dcfeits might have been froin the negligence of the late ineu t n.; bent, and- by his &mit there might be no re tnedy, and some of the Parsonage Hots- 8 m i g h t, be in so tuinoui a.state, that no repair would do, awl it might he absolutely necessary 10 rebuild. He had endeavoured, as much . as po.t s hle, u provid e scum.- mules!) , against these houses Oar startled se. pair from becoming worse) by sio3ii • part - of he iocoine of the iueurnlient to try t h. thein, it was_ true that this might, in ina. i y be inconvenient to Clergyrnen; for the:incomes . matly of thew were .yiqy small ; and nothinwoold some remedy to this inconvenience : but that was not the question_ . nOw . before the Committee. Ile did not propene this' Amendment y way'of a posi tive good, btu as the lesser of two evils. The taking any part of ft small .ineame from a Clew.- tom was an evil, but the suffering dilapidations in the Pa'rsonage Houses was a greater evil. Mr. 'WIND 11,411 thought it desirable that facility should not he afforded to the non.residence of Cler gymen, nor excuses easily taken. The Bill should he so - framed as to render it difficult, or at least not to rendet it easy, for the Bishop to grant dispensa. Lion from , the residence of Incumbents. Mr. 1141VKINS BROWNE thought that the Bill should specify what constituted unfitness in a house for the residence of an Incumbent. He approved of the proposed Clause of his Learned Friend, for. setting aside a small part of the Income towards Repairs. The ATTORNEY GENERAL wished to meet the ideas of muss Gentlemen upon th i s matter, and for that purpose proposed an Amendment providing,that, the Licence of the Bishop for not residing in the Parsonage House, should be on such terms and con_ ditinns, in resPeA to provision for Building and Repairing, as to the Bishop' shall seem reasonable. Mr. BURTOiVdoubted whether this discretion to he given to the Bishop, was not rather too large, it being almost unbounded. However, he'had no great objettiOn to it ; he thought some treasure to pro vide for the repaitti of the Parsonage ; House, ought to be adopted, and if the Comnutted - did not ap prove of his clause for appropriating . a small part, perhaps a twentieth of the income of the incum bent for that purpose, he,should vote for the amend ment of Ms Hon. and learned Friend. Mr. WINDHAM said a few words. • Sir W. SCO7T opposed the amendinent, on the ground that this was an al teration of the Law, upon point not now properly before the Committee, and expressed a hope that some general law might be made to provide expressly for building ari,l keeping in re vairall Parsonage HOuses whatever---with respell to repairing many of them, so as to make them fit for the resioence of a Clergyman, it ssas because they were not of sufficient dimensions, neither could the 'ground adjoining to them be pur. chased out,bf the income of the clergymen they be longed to,. That was mast remarkably the case in the city of London, where the average of the in. cornea beneficed Clergymen, was not above :501. per annum. The ATTORNEY GENERAL supported his Amendment, by arguing that it it was an alteration in, the Law, it,,was an alteration growing Out Of the Bill now before the Committee, which was itself an alteration, and' that it did not compel the Bishop to impose any terms when he granted his licence for non.resi&oce, but only empowered the Bishop to inipoe rel a ns if he thought fir ; nor was this any halt!! hi d , on the. Clergy, fur the Bishop had a power by Lew, t his licence altogether. '1 M,ist s, aof the Rot Ls opposed the Amend- The Dehate prnco.e(led for a considerable time, L ut the su'Aj-::-.1 ,)ren so often b , :fore the Pub, we sblit nuten , cr i: to a detail of it. Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL, and Mr. Di CK. INS f•upported the Atneudynent. .PuCto'r I_,AmktNee„ Mr. GRE,(3OR, we under stood, :Or. sciii.)r, Vir. Stir NCV.II. STA NHOPe, and Sir R. BEntrc.):4 were against the owendinetit, r. IVI thought upon the whole it. was best to leave the matter-of the amendment for some general anti large provision by itself,. and, therefore, , although he approved of • much of the reasoning with which the ATTORNEY GE IERAL had supported the amendment, lie should now vote against it. At hallpast nine o'clock the Committee diviaea : For the amendment Is I it 42 . Strangers were . not afterwards a d i niited ; but we understand that the Chairman reported - prOgrcis, and asked leave to sit main to morrow. Adjourned at twelve o'clock. MAILS. put. AftitiVlLD.

WE. received this morning the Path Paper: to the 9th inst. and also the Ilamburgb Mail which was due yesterday. Some of the Paris Papers still seem to entertain hopes of Peace, trom the delay which has taken place in the departure of Lord WHITWORTi'I from Paris, The Gazette de FraNce says, that his Lordship's, departure is not now con. shim(' as probable, and adds, `that the departure of the Dutchess of DORSET from Paris is not a circum. stance from which any unfavdurable inference ought to be - drawn, as she was expected to return to Lon,. don in thei , summer. These expeftitions have ocea. sinned n small rise in the French Funds, which were . on Saturday Mat 54. 75. . We are inclined to suppose, that the notchess of PoRIET had left Paris, tor the purpose of coming On by easy stages, as Lord WHITWORTH) noduubt, would deem it proper toreturn to this Country with the utmost dispatch upon the return of the Mes sang r. It was yesterday rep orte d h ere , t h at L or d ITwORTH had reached C a t i i r , b ut we can sup.. pose the report may him arisen from the crtival of ~~ .) bly wait for ItiS Lordiltip. .The Gazette de Fran:: states, that the gteiltvt part of the English who were at Paris had quint that Capital with a kind of precipitation. It is said - that General ItoooAaNturio.: is about to return from St. Dv.vino, and that he will be SIC• cecded by General LAPOY? Letters from Milan, brought- both' by the French Papers and the Mail, state, that in the event of War, the English appear determined to occ.;py jo order to keep the French from grair,g, possession of it.
