The House met at ten o'clock in the morning, and proceeded in Appeals. Mr. BROGDEN and others brought up from the Commons the Excise Licenses' Bill, which was read a first time. AGRICULTURE, The Earl of ALBEIILARLE presented a petition from the Occupiers of 24,500 acres'of land in the Hundred of North Greenlow, in the county of Norfolk,. complaining of Agricul tural distress. Lord - SUFFIELD bore testimony to the reality and extent ' - of that distress.—The petition was read and laid on the table.. The Earl of ALBEMARLE then presented 'a similar peti tion from the Occupihs of 35,500 acres of land in the Hundred of King Cross, tin the county of Norfolk.—Road and laid on the table. Lord SUFFIELD presented' a petition to the - same effect from the Hundred of North Uppingham, in the county of Norfolk. His Lordship stated, that the petition was signed by all the land-owners of the Hundred, but that lie had known nothing of the meeting, untn he hail been requested to preside, and had had' no share in the propositions submitted for consi deration. The Earl of DARNLEY made 'a feW observations in:sup port of the petition, and contended that as taxation was one of the chief causes of distress, its reduction would be the most effectual mode of relief.—The petition; was then read and laid on the table. - Lord CL IFTO N, and others brought several private Bills from the Commons which were read a first time. • SCOTCII PEERS. The Earl of ROSEBERRY rose, pursuant to his motion. Their Lordships would recollect that, in the course of last Session, he had introduced a Bill, the effect of which was to regulate the right of voting at the election of the sixteen Peers for Scotland. This Bill gone through two stages, not only without being objected to, except by one Noble Peer, but ,with the general - approbation of the House. Subsequent ly, however, several Noble Peers . . wished that the measure should be suspended, in order that the sense of the Scottish Nobility, upon its merits, should be more fully ascertained. • At his own suggestion, a communication had been made to every individual Peer, respecting his opinion on the subject., and - the result had not only confirmed his conviction of the propriety of the measure, but had determined him to bring it once more before their Lordships. Only two Peers had dissented. The one, because though he thought well of the measure he did .not conceive that the Scottish Nobility were unanimous m want ing it ; and the other because he believed it would be better 'to proceed by resolutions, -.than at once by a Bill. This was the . course which he-now intended to adopt. _lie had already, on introducing the original Bill, pointed out to their Lordships the defects of the existing system of election. They were aware that there was no provision to reject the .votes which were of fered, and, that many individuals who had no legal right were thus enabled to vote. Now, this would be a hardship to any body of men, hut more particularly so to the Peers of,Scot land„ who, having lost their seats in the Legislature, only re tained the right of voting for the election of Representatives, and were not even allowed to sit in the House of Commons:— He should think it unnecessary to occupy the time of the House with any argument to justify some alteration in the system - , if he did not expect that the length of time whith it had existed would be urged in its support. -.He should therefore produce one example in which the present mode of election had been productive of great injustice. He alluded to-the General Election of 1790. Owing to the admission of indiscriminate votes, only thirteen Representative Peers for „,Scotland.had for three whole years sate in the . British Parlia ment. The three others had been deprived of their seats all that time, because six Peers had been elected by equal num bers, and an inquiry became necessary before it could be de cided who were the, three who had been duly returned. This investigation took up three years, though he would admit that . another question had been mixed up with it, whether Scottish Peers sitting in Parliament under an English title retained the right of voting at the election of Representative Peers. This question, however, might have , been decided, and was ulti mately settled by that House in the affirmative in the space of one day. Yet owing to- the original vice in the system 'of election, three Peers were deprived of their seats for three years out of six which they were to have sat in Parliament. After having _taken the subject into serious consideration, and in deference to the opinion of others, he 'should submit two Resolutions to their Lordships. The first. should declare. that in case OfAhe decease of a Scottish Representative Peer, no person, except the son, grand son, or the lineal descendant or brother of a Peer, should vote for the election of a Re presentative until his. right of voting should have been ad mitted by the House of Lords. The second should merely pro vide that the first should not infringe the right of any person to challenge that of others to.vote. He should now move that the House resolve itself i9to a Committee of Privileges on these Resolutions on Thursday next, with the view, should they meet with the approbation of the Committee, to bring in a Bill to give them the force of law. - The motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned till M onday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Lord A."IIAMILTON presented a Petition from the Bur gesses of the Corporation of the Royal Burgh of Perth against the Bills in Parliament, for the redress of certain abuses in Royal Burghs. The Noble . Lord took this occasion to repeat the complaints he.had so frequently made of the way in which . Scotch business was transacted in that House. He believed .the Learned Lord opposite,. (the Lord Advocate) had got five Scotch Bills standing for the same day. It was impossible they could all paskthrough their respective stage. in the course of one sitting. He entreated him to afford the Representatives of Scotland a fair opportunity of discussing questions, inti. irately Connected with the interests of their Constituents. The LORD ADVOCATE repelled the accusation made against him by . the' Noble Lord opposite, in his absence of his general non-attendance the other night. He begged to inform the Noble Lord that there was but one day dunng the whole of the present Session that he had not been in the House, and if the Noble Lord bad looked round the House, instead of con fining his view to the Treasury Bench, he would have seen MM. He had always been ready to, answer questions on the presentingof the Bills and other stages of them, but he de nied the right of the NOble Lord or any other person to charge him with neglect of duty, because he- did not sit there three hours a day in the early part, of the evening to answer questions, because the Noble Lord could not have the ordin ary courtesy to inforth hind when - fie'wts goink to present a pe tition.-,--( Hear ! )--.Withregard, she'.differen t Bills the Nobl Lord would have an opportonltrot making his objections, and he should be prepared to answet . ,hini when they came fairly before the House. After a few words in explanation from ,Lord A. llADfrr.'r the LORD ADVOCATE, and,,Mr' J, P. GRAN-., the Petition was read, and ordered to be printed. Lord A. HAMILTON prcagnced Another Petition. of a similar nature from the nine incorporatektratles of Dundee. Lord BINNING defended the. Lord President Hope from a charge which had been pleferred agaimt him, and, main tained that he had only done that .whien was his bounden duty to do. Mr. lIUME said if he possessed the legal knowledge of his Hon. and Learned Friend for Winchelsea, he would bring the whole of the Scotch Judges to 'the- liar, of that House, and prove that not mote than three out ,of the twepty-one had been chosen from men of that experience which' fitted them for the situations to which they were appointed. • - The LOUD ADVOCATE and Cr.A.III:E vindicated the Bench of Scotland, and after a few words, from Mr. J. P. GRANT, Mr. MABERLEY, 111 r. H. DRISAIIIOND, and Mr. BENNET, the Petition was ordered to be printed. AGRICULTURAL QUES'rION. Mr. BROUGHAM thought it ucold be for 'the . conve nience of the House that they should then determine whether or not dile Agricultural Question could be discussed that sight. The Noble Marquis was aware that the Chancellor of the Ex , chequer had announced an intention of bringing up the Report of the Committee on the new mode of paying the 5,000,0001. chargeable for Naval and Military Pensions. They were not yet near that, as a number of Petitions were yet to be pre sented, and when it came on it Would probably occupy the House some time. As they might not be able to get to it till a late period of the night, he would suggest to the Noble Mar quis the expediency of putting it cnill,lllonday. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was reluctant to post -pone the Agricultural Question, but he would rather that it go off till Monday, than have it brought on at a late period. of the night. If he yielded to the suggestion of the Le:Anted Gentleman, he hoped it would be understood that no other question should interfere with it on Monday. Mr. .BROUGHAM thought no. Gentleman who wished well to the Agricultural Interest would wish the subject td be postponed beyond Monday. He took this for granted, and he therefore took it for granted that that question wouldbe re garded as peremptorily figul for the first thing on Monday. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged further to re mark, that.on each, series of, resolutions, the whole question could be discussed,,but he - wished the queoion as to the ware housing of corn tole first disposed of. He desired to _see that brought to a point one way pr_the other, and therefore he hoped that:it would not be made the vehicle of a discussion of all the resolutions, but that they should, in the first instance, confine themselves to one practical measure, then to he submitted to the'consideration of the House. ' fir. COKE objected to part of the plan now suggested, which relaxed to the grinding of wareholsed torn. After a few words from Lord F. OSBORNE and Air. Ro- BINSON, the order of the day for- receiving the Report of the Committee on .Agricultural Distress, was postpqned till Monday. OFFICE OF POST MASTER-GENERAL . . The Marquis of LOIN . DOSDERRY appeared at the bar, and delivered the following annunciation from his Majesty to the address voted last night by the House, respecting the office of joint Postmaster-General " The King having been attended with the Address of the House of Commons or - yesterday, acquaints the House that he will give ,directions that the salary . .ot- one of tho Postmasters -General shall forthwith be discontinued. " His Majesty only postpones the - .abolition of the ..office or one of the PostmaSters-Oeneral,.. until be shall have had the opportunity of considering what permanent arrangement may be advisable forthe conduct of the business of that department."

NAVAL AND MI LI TA Ry. PENSIONS • The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER moved that the Order of the Day b . ... then rzad-for taking into • cimsitlera tion the Report on the payment of the Naval and Military Pensions. Mr. BERNAL said, that thoughhe had not been present when the Right Hon. Gentleman had proposed bis•plan for the payment of these pensions, he had read with misiderable attention what had then taken place. Now he wished to be informedly the Right Hon. Gentleman, as the annuity which was in future, to be paid for these pe,nsions must be considered somewhat in the nature of a loan, what security, could be of fered for the full performance of any contract which. Might be made upon the .subject ? He had no doubt that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer thought that he should be able to find somebody ready to pay the advances in question , : yet what security could .he give to the country that the contractor would continue to pay those advances during so long a, period as forty-five years ? Could the Right Hon. Gentleman find any person who would deposit_ such a sum with the Government as would be 'a gage of his ability to complete his .contract ? Before the contract was completed, it might be found so oppressive by the Contractors as to force them tb. come to that House and ask for leave to abandon it.. Ile therefore wished to receive a little explanation upon that point.. Again, in the contingency of a war, a number of half-pay officers would be called into full pay, and that full pay woOd. fall upon a different charge. 'Now he wished to know---44 Member in the rear of Mr. Bernal here whispered something into his ear, which caused him to turn round and enter into conversation with that Member. ,After a, pause of a few seeonds„Mr. Bernal continued.] He should reserve that objection and any other which he might have to this measure to another stage of the dis cussion upon it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'reminded the Hon. Member that the House' was now only called upon to agree to the reading of the Order of the Day,' and that therefore it would be a waste of the time of the House for him to notice any arguments which were then offered to it. When the measure itself came under discussion, he should be happy to give every information regarding it that was in his power. In deed many Of the details of the measure could not be under stood until they were regularly brought. before the notice of the House. In reply to the Hon. Gehtleman's question, what security could be given for the performance of a contract which was extended over so many years, he would simpirktate that there could be no difficulty about the security •provided to Government, when a man had to . make an adVance'of a ver - > large sum which was not to be repaid him till after the lapse eL many years. The Order of the Day was then read. Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of the Committee op the Resolutions for the payment of the Naval and _ l.lilitar; Pensions. On the question that the Resolutions be agreed to, General GASCOYNE said that he thought the scheme cr.;.cr • plicated, but had no objection to the principle. The four first Resolutions were agreed to. When :he Speaker piit the question on the fifth, r Mr. HUME rose and obserycd, that the four ii:st P..eSoiu tions had really nothing to do with the qUestion, and to the fifth he should move an amendment.
