Lord HOLLAND said, without discrediting what the Rev. Prelate had stated, he would only subnkit it to his wistlom, whether such interference was cohsistent with Constitutional principles ? The Earl of ROSLYN was of opinion, that the subje& under, deliberation was so far doubtful, that it ought to be decided by the Bill now before the House ; hot but-that the question was already de cided, satisfadorily, at least to his, mind, by the common Law ofEngland. His Lordship theh went into a learned historical account of the state of the: Clergy in the early periods, down ro later times of 'our history, from which he inferred that the Clergy, as such, were ineligible to sit in the House of Commons. He therefore was decidedly in favour of this Bill. Lord CARLETON, in a short speech, concurred In expressing the same Lord. GRANTLEY, in a few words, intimated his *disapprobation of The Bill, The Earl 'of CdRLISLE thought• it would he beiter to suspend the consideration of the Bill to another Session. He declared he had heard such "distortiaitt . opinions from Learned Lords, that his mind was,not made up on the subleo, and as one :Noble Lord (Tx tr Low , ) deservedly• ofgreat weight with the Public, had'expressed his doubts and ob..

The CHANCELLOR of thr EXCHEQUER said, that the amount of the Supply voted for •the service of the present year, was +3,686,7r sl. ; of which 4,348,2261; being a- 17ths, were on BCCOUIIt of Ireland, The Ways and Means for this Supply wils,first, on Sugar ii,000,000l.:robacco2,7s00000l.

There would be a comiderabie (lend cation from ..the Ijrawbacks allowed on Sogars; four and an half per cent, on - first fruits, eze. but on the other han'd,, , the Tax on Malt was likely to be much, more produai%'e than it had he en for the last year.

He then moved the titst Resolution, the suhstanee of v. latch was, to take credit for 4,0c0,c001. upon the Income Bill for die present year. • The Question being put,- tm.de wme:observations, tending to shew that inany,, of. ih Estimates of the la:c Cti4NC,El,j.ok th,t E,1;44 - Bezz7 lead proved, Rich beyond the produce), and to shew that the present .44itnates;night be liable-to the same objeetion, many of them ,d4ipended on future events. . Mr. ,lithINUTON jutrifi'qd all his statements by refereoee to the ditierent- items of which they were .composed, and he we - :at theist again. Mr, ST.E4U, said, that What- his Right, Lion. friend .(the.latel3g.kxc ELLOR of the Ec tiEQ,U CIO had stated, was very tliir at the tient, and'reaSona- WC in the expuftation, -although imply of die iteins. fell very far iihrut a the estinute, the conseclta of which was,,. that E-,:).equer flilis Were isSud to supply the defed, and- thesewere . paid off when 'rho' became prodUClive; Thera Was due now on the Lad Tax of 1799,.,344,c00l Ort the year Soo, 960,e:t001. .The;.o two,,,,J,tis belonged 'to the year ending,lagt April. They 'Ve're in the hands of the, ReOcivers, •and in their progress towards the l~ x. chequer, and all of it would be paid, and would discharge what remained due ott the Col.tonklated :Fund on the sett of - April last.' His Right Hon. Friend .present CitiliNCllLLott 01' the . f..xein- QUED.) had a right.tomakt the statement as he did. Theonly questionlherefore now Was,, whe,ther, , oil all the-circumstances of Public Revenue, there was a fair chance that the whole sum for which credit was. now taken would be-raised f It would not he raised on eAch: head as ,sratti---that was never to be. expeeled 7: for it Never was ,so some would 'fall short of,; , while others. exceeded their estimate some ,Wolild remain due' for a great while—foal was unavoidable at all times, but the cdmpliint ivirs much' mbre:grievous ih forttiet times `thtits It pre sent. The question' now was, whether any incon.. venience arose from taking Public ACEOUIIt3 in thi manner lie saw none, because it was always in the power of the House to vote, and in Giivetnment to raiseouoney on Exchequer Bills. It was therefore; Wiser for the CHANCELLOR of tile EXCHEQU E to , state what remxined due of former years, and to m AS-, sue that it will be paid in the ensuing year, than tol pass it by altogether as unptodvaive, on account of its not, beiog received, b2cau,e the money might be raised by E:,chequer .Billy as it was wanted. It this course was not taken,. much of the money aaually in the Exchequer would become . unavailing because then each distind head of account must rr. ' main on its own foundation ; and so, for instants, the money now in the Echequer' for the payMenti of Lottery' Prizes, wo•uld remain there until August' next, because Lottery Prkes are not payable until that time. But the present pradice rendered all this money availing, and when the time of payment arrived,`provision was made for it by the money to be * raised on Exchequer Bills there was therefore great convenience in the ptaaice. After same conversation between Mr. A D1)1110- - I'o PRNEY, Mr. LEE, arld Sir JOHN PAR NEU], the Question was put, and the Resolution voted.

T L FF E 000sed.the till, and said,. that the House passed . this Bill because this woman w#placed:in a situatign Of gnat hardship, its was itnpoN,i ble to kngty where it would stop. If a wo tnan's husbanctwai transported for life, might she tint' then apply fir relief, or in.insCollunacy ? It ova the.*; of great import=ance: that. the House -shpuld 'not break thrtiugh a gttnerai rule and to tOakepartlialar tegulations for every particular c.tse that Might' occur. In tend of 'aaing upon one ge. neral principle, , it . would expose Members to be cwt. Vassed and ft eilicited upon-every ca be that occurred. TESPREYS 'Co entry) sx d, he, vas wholly unacquainted With the patties in ttas•ciAse,. bat he thought it' WAS one that called loudly upon the . jitstke and huaignity ar,the tious'e. The Hod. Gentleman who spoke last had stated, that this might" be made a precedent for women to tipply for a ed in cases of the banishment ) the lunacy, oreveri sho bad circumstances of their husbands ; but he had too good an opinion of the Women of this Country to suppose that such circumstances would inat:ce 'them to wish to be separated from their husband and he never could believe that the House of C oma mons would so far depart' from a proper sense of duty, as to listen to such an' application, even if it should ever be made. Sir WM. SCOTT supported the Bill said it was true that many applications had nibt been made for Divorces on the part of the Wife, but the House, should' recoiled that they were then at9in • as a Legislative Body, And the t jue s ti on was , whe y . ther, upon every principle of justice, this woman was not entitled to the relief which she &timed ? It had been urged frequently, that Adultery was more 'injurious on the part of the. wife, than on that of the husband, because, by the miscondutt of the:wife, the husband might have a spurious issue forced upon him ; but on ..he other hand, the bus= band might have a timrions issue,. whom he might introduce into his house, and the wife, night see that property which belonged to herchildren, bqtowett upon his illegitbnate offsprieg. He di l l not 54y, that other cases might not occur, in which W0M4.11 might; apply for pivorus, but that had nothing to do with the present case : the question was, whether in this instance this Lady was not, in justice entitiOd to their relief? In ordinary cases of Adultery, a reconciliation might talts: place, but here it we* impossible, because this Lady would certainly be guilty of incest, if she again cohabited with her husband. Mr. Stmvoic opposed the Bill."' 1)r.

Mr. ELL/SON thought it was a business of too much magnitude to be hurried through at this lute period of the Session, and theroiiire hoped there wOuld be no objection to letting it lie over to another Session. . Mr PlgUALPOlNfivished to postpone the sectina reading till Wednesday, and made a Motion to that catt Mr. SIIVIEON Opposed the pill, and said it would tend to take the power out of the hands of the,Laity, and throw it altogether into that 'of the Clergy. t ' Mr. NICHQ.US Said a re:v want% aiplast the Bill. Tire CHANCELLOR °jibe EXCHEQUER said, this Bill appeared hitherto to have received the unanitnons sanction of the House, and even now there appeared no objedtion to the Bill itself, but only to parts that might be easily altered, in the Committee. it appeared to be the general sense of the House, that thi Clergy ought to be relieved from thole vexatious` prosecutions ; it being under stood that this was only a temporary measure, dOd that the whole subject was to be taken up fully at , .another time. Mr. CALC I IMFT lipposed tilt Bill, and said, that whatever he might think of Common Informers, he was sure they were often pro.ludive of great; good; and though . a great many adions had been commenced, he was not sure that 'they were all op. pressive of improper ones. Me. ATTORNEY 'GE IVERAL agreed with the Hon. Gentleman who. 'spoke last, that the Public often derived great. advantage from .Inforniers, but when the number of prosecutions had become a pest, and . threatened so, 'many people with .tuin,: it was proper in the HOuse to interfere: This 11111 . tiid not prevent all, prosecutions, only prevented them in, cases where the Bishop had granted his Li cence for non-residence. He was as great,an ene my., as. any Gentleman could be to the non-resi. deuce of th'e Clergy, arid therefore he hoped never to see the provisions of the Statute of IiEN, done a way ; but lvt conce i red that nopossible.in convenienceCOuld result from eassing drill; Bill for a short period, Mr. Et.r.tsoir wished for a, short delay, as lie had only seen the Bill that 'Morning.

Thi ATTORNEY GENERAL said, that as to himself, he should not be able to attsnd this Bill in
