A few Private Rills on the table were respectively forward, ed, and an adjournment during pleasure took place. On the resuming of the House, Mr. HIGHAM, trom the commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, presented at the Bar an Account of the Expenditure uf the- same, to the 31st of January, 1814, and also of the stock transferred to the same period. Mr. Lyronri ELI) presented a Copy of the Order in Coun cil, authorising the Bank of England -4o issue specie for cer tain.publie services; and • Mr. M‘LEAN . presented en Account of the Receipts and Disbursements of the Chest at Greenwich, for a given period. These documents were severally ordered to lie on the table,' No public business being before the House, an adjournment took place soon 'after five o'clock, till to-morrow, when their Lordships•stand sum moned in reference to the proposed Vote of Thanks to the Marquis of Wellington. • • HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. LICHFIELD, from the Privy Council Office,- brought copies 'of several Ordei's in Council, Conceruing'the issue of specie by the clank of England, which w.:re laid on the table. Mr. KpiosTcts brought the account of the balance in the • hatn;s of the distributors of the Stamps, from the 10th of Oc tober,to the sth of January.—Ordered to lie on the table. The SPEAKER stated, that he had received two Petitions . from Martin Kirwan, Esq. and Sir Neal O'Donnel, , and others, complaining of an unurue Election for the County of Mayo. Ordered to be taken into consideration on Tuesday thq 19th of April nat.' SHIP-BUILDERS' PETITION. Sir S. ROMILLY. Said be held in his hand a Pe tition from a very numerous and useful body-, he meant_ the persOnS employed - in building ships in the , private yards on the Thames. They coin . - plaincd of the total decay of their employment, and the consequent ruin with which they were threatened. To prove the hardships of their situa:- tion, it would he sufficient to state, that in the forty-one slips for building ships on the Th4tttes; • only one ship was now building. There were fifty:-. one double repairing docks,' and eleven single, and in all only eighteen vessels were now repair ing. They ascribed the evil that had befallen them', as well as the State, to the encourage: ment giver) to ships built io India To this eun►stsnce also they asclibed the frequent depar ture of their fellow workmen to foreign counties. They therefore prayed that the House world not extend the time for admitting India-built ships to British registry. . . The Petition was ordered to lie on the table. CIVIL LIST. Mr. BENNET wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchegnor when it Was h s intention to bring . forward the estiwatas of the Civil Li st , w i t h t h e usual. accounts of the expenditure under that head, which had taken place in the last year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECiWeR exuressed an apprehension that it would not be practicable, from a variety of Circumstances, to submit them to the House before the Easter recess. He hoped Shortly after the House met again they would be produced, and he should then be prepared to offer every explanation. CORRUPTION' OF BLOOD. Sir SAMUEL RomILLY• then rose, .pursuant to notice, to move .for leave to bring in a bill to re ' move, in certain. eases, what was called in law the corruption of blood; Although the hill which . he had now to propose was precisely the smite as` he had submitted to them last session, he hoped that he should not - be charged with improper per severance, when it was recollected in -what "Dan ner his Bill bad been disposed of , last-year. He thought that it was.probably his faith in not hay. ing•sudicieiitly explained himself last year, as many of those who spoke, and probably many who voted.against -him,- seemed to consider that his object was to do away the. forfeiture of estates in cases of treason. This was, however, not his - object. As the law now stands, a person convicted of treason forfeits his lands, as ,well as his personal property altogther ' • whereas a person convicted o f f e l on y forfeits his personal ,property and his lands for one year. In both cases, however, the conviction produced corrup tion of blood. He should not now discuss either the Opinions of those who thought, that When the . law took a man away from society, it was too hard to visit his offence on his innocent children i or the contrary opinion, that it-was right to de ter men from the commission of crimes, by the ' consideration of the misery that they would bring upon their families. He was content to let the forfeiture remain as it does at present ; but what lie .wished to-remove, was that which was peculiar to the laws of England, the corruption ot. hluod.
