The Bill had not received the sanction of the bishop of the diocese, or of the rector of the parish (St. Luke's), and yet the House was called upon to sanction it.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Instead of encouraging the establishment of burial-grounds in the midst of a douse population, they ought to do all they could to remove them out of town.—( Hear.) St. Luke's had already petitioned the House against the proposed burial-ground, and he was sure that the Bill would never pass this House. He therefore moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day six months. Dr. LUSHINGTON seconded the amendment, for h was convinced the Bill could never pass. Before they con sented to pass such a Bill, they should ascertain first that the wants of the parish required additional burial. ground ; and secondly, that if it were wanted they should have a due consideration to the health of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. In this case no additional burial ground was wanted, and the situation was in the heart of a very dense and a very poor population. The Bill would vest the most extraordinary powers in a single individual, and such as the House would never LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1832.

Lord TENTERDEN moved that the House should re solve itself into a Committee upon the Sentence of Death Explanation Bill, for the purpose of suggesting an amend ment; and upon the House having resolved itself into Committee, the Noble and Learned Lord stated the amend went was, as we understood, that the sentence of death pronounced upon prisoners capitally convicted at the Old Bailey should be reported to his Majesty instead of before such sentence was recorded, as was the practice at present. The Duke of WELLINGTON considered that this would in a great measure be placing his Majesty in a situation in which he would virtually be under the neces sity of himself passing the sentence of death upon every prisoner capitally convicted at the Old Bailey, before hr could be executed, and this required great consideration. After a word or two from Lord TENTERDEN, it wa• agreed that the Bill, with its clauses, should be printed, and the further consideration of this question be postponed till after the printing of the Bill. Lord ROSEBERY gave notice that on an early day he should bring in a Bill to enable Scotch Representative• Peers residing in Ireland to take the oaths there. The Bishop of WINCHESTER presented a petition from Rochester against the new Irish system of education. The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from the inhabitants of York against slavery. Earl RODEN presented petitions from several places in England and Ireland, against the new system of Irish education. sanction. Mr. Alderman WOOD had understood that the parties would come to some amicable arrangement ; the Bill had gone through the Committee without opposition, the party had been put to great expense, and he had not until yesterday heard of any opposition to it. Mr. BYNG denied that the expense could have been very great. Mr. Alderman VENABLES said, the reason why there was no opposition, was because the provision; of the Bill were not known._.( Hear.) Mr. IyILKs said, it was only by accident that the in habitants of St. Luke's and Ctipplega.te heard of the Bili. The House would never give their sanction to an individual speculation which was not required by the public, and which would operate against the health of the inhabitants, which gave the party the privilege of building a chapel, without the authority of the bishop, and which would deprive other parties of a large amount of burial fees. The question was then put, and the amendment agreed to without a division. The Bill was therefore lost. Mr. W. GORDON presented a petition against the plan of Education in Ireland.

DUBLIN, JUNE 5.—1 have just received a letter from Kilmeague, descriptive of the state of society caused by the Rev. Mr. Preston's pertinacity in enforcing tithe by public sale of the defaulter's cattle. On Monday, the 2Stb ult., it was reported in the Bog of Allen, that Mr. Pres ton was about to seize more cattle for arrears of tithe, and two young fellows mounted on active horses were sent blowing horns through the country. In the course of two hours 2,000 people at least collected and marched in order to Kilmeague pound, to watch the proceedings as before. However, it was a false alarm. Mr. Preston, meantime, barricaloed his house, and placed his proctor on the top, to observe rte conduct of the people, and make signals of distress if necessary; for though he and his friend Mr. Pim (the Magistrate under whose warrant the sale took place) have regular police stations in ,their houses, they have made telegraphic arrangements to call for more help on occasion. This day, however, no seizures were attempted, and the crowd dispersed quietly. Not a man in the neighbourhood will now work for either of these gentlemen, or buy or sell to them, or those who have acted with them, " for love or money." Mr. Pim's farrier, who had some of his cattle under cure, has " given them over," and would only go once to Mr. Pint's Louse to receive money due to him. One of Sir Gerald Aylmer's tenants, who bid for the tithe cattle at the auction, sent to Dublin for potatoes, which were for warded to him by the Grand Canal. These, on their arrival, were thrown into the canal by the neighbours, and the boat proprietors, Messrs. Hyland and Co., were warned, that if they supplied any of the tithe party with provisions, their boats would be sunk ! A shopkeeper who supplies the police with provisions, and who sold Mr. Preston two stone of salt, to preserve his tithe mutton slaughtered after the auction, has had his supplies cut off for miles round. Even his baker will not give him a loaf. He sent his cart to a distant town, where the fact was un known, and procured a supply of bread, groceries, &e. ; these were, on their return, seized by some neighbours passing by, tied up in a bag, and sunk in the nearest hog hole. He hoped, by paying treble price as a penalty, to he able to stock his shop for the police, but he has been asked 20/. for a bag of potatoes in open market, and the owner would ask " no second price." One of Sir Gerald's tenants, who bought seven cows at the sale, has determined on throwing up his farm and leaving the country. He offered these to their owners for the 3s. a piece that lie had given for them. They refused, as these 3s. would amount to so much tithe paid. He offered to let their owners milk them ; they refused to take the milk of tithe cattle, and, in fact, will be sufficiently indemnified from the fund collected for the purpose, now a considerable one. With this aid the parishioners are commencing legal proceedings against Mr. Preston, who it appeared n.giected to register the pound, employed an illegal auctioneer, &c. He now repents heartily of his rash proceeding, to which, it is said, lie was especially urged by Government on a.surances of its most complete support,—which, indeed, lie has had, but it avails him l o i f ttle. His father, his htends, iend., D n Preston openly ecaoodeomhi.of ho. L ti i l t e ne p r r i o ck u , ed a i n o t g l . most Mr. Pita has also seen the impolicy of his conduct. He has expended 6,000/. on his estat e at New Park, and cannot get any labour done on it since the tithe affair commenced. He now confes'es that he would nut for 6,0001. more have taken part against the people. Ile now declares that lie will pay no more tithe or church cost, nor attend church vestries, if the peopl e will work for him; they, however, remember many late declarations of the zealous iragistrate not at all complimentary to the power of the people, and insist that he shall show his sin cerity by signing a parish protest against tithes, chu rc h rates, &c , and subscribing 50/. to the common fund. This Mr. Pint thinks would be too great a recantation, and so the affair stands. It is worthy of remark, that the Rev. Mr. Preston's strong proceedings were not for arrears of tithe ; the pa rish is under the Composition Act, and payments were regularly made every half year till last month. There was not 1/. owing of ti:e tithe due in November, 1831. M. ABEL REMUSAT, Member of the Insti tute, died in Paris on Saturday, after a short illness. The cause of his death was csncer i❑ the stomach. He was in his 61th year. The death of this gentleman among others leaves a vacancy in the office of keeper of the Oriental manuscripts in the King's library. He was a very lesrned man, and particularly distinguished fur his knowledge of the Chinese language. In 1811, he published an essay on the language and literature of that nation, and in 1814, a Professorship of Chinese was established in the College de France, to the chair of which he was at once appointed. He was also one of the principa's in the establishment of the Universal, one of the Journ,ls annihilated in 1830—an occurrence which caused him a great deal of vexation. CHOLERA IN YoRK.—It is our painfal duty to announce that this disease has at length made its ap pearance in our hitherto healthy city.—The first case which occurred was on Sunday, when a man named THOMAS Hueasxs, residing in a court called Hagworm nest, in Skeldergate, was attacked ; since which six other persons have been seized with the disorder, four of whom have died.—The deaths have occurred in the following places :—One in Hagworm-nest ; one in a back court in Swann-street, Nunnery-lane, and one in the First water-lane. Of the remaining cases, the man (Huones) mentioned above, is doing well; of the other two cases, one in Middle-water-lane, promises to re cover ; the other, near Skeldergate-postern, is still in a precarious state.— York Chronicle. A RAREBIRD ON THE BRITISH COAST.-- A male spoonbill was shot by Sir FREDERICK FULLER, of Aldborougb, on the 14th of May ; his height 31t. 7in., the wings extending over 4ft. 6in., bill 9in, which, with the legs, are jet black; the body snow white, with a ring of golden feathers rand the neck next the breast, and a fine crest on his head. He was seen in company with two others. Mr. FULLER has added him to the many fine specimens in his possession. In dissecting him, there was found in his stomach near half a pint of shrimps.—Bury Herald. WHITEHALL, JUNE 4. The King has been pleased to present the Rev.

LEV', DAUGHTER OF THE EMPRESS JOSEPHINE.—Persons will be agreeably surprised on receiving this work, to find that they have not only got a most interesting book of memoirs for their library, but also a series of twelve most beautiful songs, set to the choicest music, and embellished with plates' f the scenes of each of the com p os i t i ons . Al t h oug h got up for the drawing-room in the most splendid style, yet it is published at the price of an ordinary work (255.) and certainly forms one of the most delightful presents that could be made to any lady. LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF AMERICAN LIFE. --Great curiosity having already been manifested by the public to know the names of the writers in this admir able collection of native sketches and stories, we areena bled to inform the lovers of original fiction that, among others, there are tales by BRYANT, the great poet of Ame rica, PAULDING, Miss SEDGWICK, and the Rev. Mr. FLINT, an authoi of the highest reputation in that coun try, which boasts the names of COOPER and WASHING TON IRVING. (Concluded from Tke Sun of yesterday.) REFORM COMMITTEE. • Mr. STEPHENS brought up the report of the Re form Committee appointed in 1831 to watch th, Reform Bill. The Committee reported that the, had suggested several important amendments and • alterations in the Reform Bill connected with th, ' rights of the citizens of London; and the principal amendment, continuing the elective franchise to the Livery, had been introduced and adopted. DINNER TO LORDS GREY AND ALTHORP. ' Mr. FLETCHER read the resolution passed at a former Court, in which the freedom of the city was proposed to be conferred on Lords Grey and Althorp, which had, when submitted, been carried unani mously. He had now to propose other resolution,. in accordance with the spirit of the former one, and to solicit the attention of the Committee to the most respectful as well as most appropriate mode of conferring this mark of gratitude on those Noble men, to whom the country was so deeply indebted. It was the opinion of many members of that Court with whom he had conferred, that the Court should celebrate the triumph of Reform by a public enter tainment, to be given by the Corporation in their public capacity. It was, therefore, at this festivity :-, that he was of opinion .tire testimony conferred by the city on Lords Grey and Althorp would be most appropriately presented. He should, therefore, move a series of resolutions, to the effect, that the freedom of the city be presented to Lords Grey and Althorp at an entertainment in Guildhall, given by the Cor. poration, to which all those Noblemen who voted in the minority upon Lord Lyndhurst's motion for postponing the disfranchising clauses, all those Mem bers who voted for the third reading of the Bill, and such others as have shown themselves active in the cause of Reform, be invited ; and that the Com mittee be empowered to draws sum from the Cham ber, not exceeding 3,0001. for that purpose. He begged to call to the recollection of the Court, that the entertainment of 1814 cost upwards of 20,000/., but he proposed to adopt on the present occasion quite another system ; and, without speaking in dis paragement of what the former Committee did, he would say, that in this instance it would not be ne cessary either to break through stone walls, gravel the streets, pay 500/. for the Committee's expense, or give 1,360/. in gratuities to officers, clerks, &c. The present Committee, he apprehended, would not seek large recompense for their services, but would be content with a medal of the value of ten guineas, or thereabouts. Mr. WILSON seconded the resolutions. Mr. Alderman HUGHES was satisfied the present motion was quite consistent with the course the Court had adopted on a former day. Mr. DEATH begged to move, that 2,500/. in place of 3,000/. be adopted, as not more than 500 guests would be present.—(Laughter.) The citi zens of London for many years had not enjoyed a feast of reason—(laughter)—and the proposed fes tivity would certainly be a reasonable feast ; but he confessed he should like to have had ladies invited. Mr. PEARSON hoped his friend would not divide the Court, as he had something to propose, after the tale of " Death and the Lady" was disposed of. — (Laughter.) Mr. GALLOWAY did not know how the ladies were to be accommodated, unless the Members of the Court absented themselves. Mr. DIXON hoped better arrangements would be entered into on this occasion than on the last. Such was the wicked waste of the wine-merchants' pro perty, that a quantity amounting to three bottles to each lady was conveyed, as if for their use.— (Laughter.) The resolutions were then carried ; and a Com mittee, consisting of all the Aldermen present, the City Members, and a Commoner from each Ward, was then appointed. PUBLIC REJOICINGS ON THE PASSING OF THE REFORM BILL. Mr. PEARSON begged to submit a motion that re ference be made to a Committee to ascertain whe ther any, and what sum, not exceeding 3,000/., could be appropriated to the celebration of the public triumph. His plan was, not to give a dinner to those who could give dinners in return, but to those in want of a dinner. It had been said that the road to a man's heart was down his throat ; but without caring for the proof of this observation, he maintained if they gave the poor man a dinner on this occasion, it would have the good effect of assuring him there did exist a sympathy between the higher and lower classes. It had been ascertained there were upwards of thirty thousand in the city to whom a good meal and a good draught of beer would prove a very good thing. Now, while the Corporation was celebrating their triumph in Guildhall with Statesmen and Noblemen, he was convinced it would enhance their pleasure to know that through their instrumentality each poor man had got a good piece of beef roasting, or mutton boiling in his pot. He had no fear of large masses of people congregating together. He had sat down with thousands while on an election expedition, and it was by such large festive meetings, at which he never observed the slightest symptom of disorder, that lie was enabled to beat the great boroughmongering Duke. But he deferred to public feeling, and therefore his plan was, that through the local Boards of Health, who were well acquainted with the necessities of their respective districts, a quantity of meat and bread should be distributed—to each child half a pound of meat and one pound of bread—to each man and woman 11b. of meat, 21b. of bread, and one pint of beer. He proposed, likewise, that the members of the Court should put their hands in their pockets and contribute towards the expense. He should then consider another class of the ccmmunity— t hose who would refuse to accept eleemosynary contri butions, but would not object to receive a dinner out of their own funds. There were about six thousand five hun dred freemen inhabitant householders in the City; but, as many would be otherwise engaged, be did not suppose more than 5,000 could be mustered, which number he proposed should all dine together in one place, and that all the children from each Ward and City school should dine with them. The ladies were not to be forgotten. He would have sixty rooms beautifully decorated with evergreens, fitted up for the wiv e s of the freemen, to n - Jli tea after dinner; and as the evening would not be properly finished except by a dance, he would provide ae coinnaodation for 2,000 couple. The dinner should con sist of meat, poultry, and pudding, with plenty of good beer and a pi nt o f port wine to each. He had a plan, and he wa s conv i nce d o f i ts pract i ca bility. All that h e wanted wa s t h e use of Far i ng d on M ar k et f or t wo d a y s , f or it was on that spot that he wished to give the freemen a dinner, and be would undertake that all the expenses should not exceed 3000/. He would thus feed and enter tain 40,000 at the same expense as the Corporation pro posed to entertain 800. His plan would prove also an excellent advertisement for the market, for the complaint against it was, that people did not know where it was situated. He hoped to have no straight-laced notion of economy propounded against his plan, when it was re memembered that 25,0001. had been spent to entertain seine Crowned heads and the Duke of Wellington—that 3,850/. was expended at the opening of the new London Bridge, and that SOO/. had been expended in eating and drink ing the erectio n o f t h e sta t ue o f George the Third. Mr. TIC KNER b egge d to move th e previous question. Only by the Committee employed in superintend- Th ing equestion, on being put, was carried in favour of Mr. Pearson's motion by a large majority. LooK-A-READ.—A Tory Member declared the extent of the Reform Bill positively made the hair of Members on his side of the House stand on end. On the ensuing elections they will find the Bill to have a still greater effect un the state 9f the poll.—. Figaro in London. Earl RODEN withdrew his notice for the 19th, of the motion he intended to bring on on the state of Ireland, and gave notice that he would bring on the motion on the 23d. Lord CAMPERDOWN presented a petition from a place in Scotland, signed by 150 persons, in favour of the new plan of Education in Ireland. Hii Lordship defended the plan, and denied that it excluded the Bible. Lord CARBERY presented a petition from Cork against the proposed plan. Lord SUFFIELD moved for certain papers relating to Slavery, which were ordered. TITHES (IRELAND.) The Duke of RICHMOND laid upon the table certain papers relating to Irish Tithes. Lord CARBERY begged to inquire whether there was any likelihood of the Irish Tithe Committee boon bringing its labours to a conclusion ? The Marquess of LANSDOWNE said, that he be lieved the Committee had beard enough to justify it in closing the evidence, but that evidence was under consi deration, as also the suggestions of various individuals upon this important subject; but as soon as proper con sideration had been given both the evidence and the sug gestions, he had no doubt the Committee would not long delay making their report. EXCHEQUER COURT (SCOTLAND) BILL.) On the order of the day being moved for the House going into Committee on this Bill, The Duke of BUCCLEUCH objected to the abo lition of the Scotch Court of Exchequer, without fur ther proof of its inutility. He should therefore propose that a message should be sent to the House of Commons, begging it to communicate to their Lordships the report of the Select Committee of that House upon this Bill. Per. haps he ought, in the first instance, to move that the Committee be postponed till Wednesday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no doubt the Noble Duke had a right to ask their Lordships to send for the Committee of the House of Commons' Report, but he only reminded their Lordships that this was the very Bill which they had themselves sent down to the other House last Session, which had certainly instituted an inquiry into the matter. By the evidence produced in the course of that inquiry it appeared that for the last twenty years there had been only an average of six defended causes, and five arguments. During the last seven years, that little had been reduced to four defended causes in the year, and four arguments. During the last two years, as there was nothing so little that you could not find something less, the avnage had been reduced to two defended causes and two arguments. The unde fended causes were about as numerous, and were dimi nishing in the same proportion. The Judges of the Gant had some business as deputies of the Lords of the Treasury in London, but the whole of that business might be done in 15 days, whilst the whole judicial busi ness only occupied nine days. The Bill appointed one of the Judges of the Court of Session to do this business and save the expense of maintaining the Court of Exchequer. He stated these point., in order that, when the Commons' report came up, they might know to what they would find most interest in directing their attention. Lord TENTERDEN - said that. the Learned Barons of the Court of Exchequer of Scotland had for the last twenty years been in a most enviable situation. The E of HADDINGTON thought it would be better that the establishment of the Court of Exchequer should he diminished than that it should be put an end to altogether. It was a false economy to put an end to it altogether, and perhaps more business might be added to it. The Earl of CAMPERDOWN—The present Chief Baron had given a decided opinion that the business might easily be done by a Judge of the Court of Se,sion. His predecessor (Sir S. Shepherd) had not spoken so decidedly, but there was every reason to believe that the present Lord Chief Baron was right. It was a common saying in Scot land that the Exchequer Court was useless. But at the same time it was fitting that they should have the report of the Commons, and there they would find some valuable facts as to the collection of the Revenue, and it might be of use in that way. The LORD CHANCELLOR had not rested this Bill solely on the ground of saving to the public, although that was important, but principally on the ground that this Court was an anomaly in our judicial system—a sinecure Court of Justice. The Duke of WELLINGTON was aware that this Court had not sufficient employment, but still he doubted whether this was a sufficient ground for abolishing it alto gether. It might be better to diminish the establishment or to add more business, instead of abolishing the Court altogether, more particularly as the Act of Union appeared to have been framed with great anxiety for the preserva tion of the Scotch legal institutions. The Earl of ROSEBERY expressed the highest opi nion of, and regard for, Sir Samuel Shepherd, but thought that on this subject the opinion of the present Chief Ba ron was entitled to more weight. There was not suffi cient bthiness for this Court, and it was unnecessary to preserve it. As to the act of Union, that had been re peatedly trenched upon, where it app,ared to be for the advantage of Scotland and the whole empire that it should' . be so. The Scotch Privy Council, for instance, had' been abolished very soon after the Union, and afterwards', the heritable jurisdictions were abolished, although in some rut-asure private property. LORD CHANCELLOR.—There was no additional busi. ness that could be added to the Scotch Court of Exchequer. Even during the Administration of the Noble Duke (Wel- lington) two Judges had been taken from the Court of Session; and yet additional business had been imposed on the Court—such as that of the Commissary, Admiralty, and Jury Courts. The Earl of HADDINGTON—The Lords Ordinary complained that too much business had been thrown upon them. It was ultimately agreed that the Bill should be corn mitred on Thursday next. The Duke of BUCCLEUCII moved that a message be sent to the Common•, praying that they would communi cate the evidence taken by their Committee on this Bill. Ordered. A NOBLE LORD gave notice that he would move the second reading of the Anatomy Bill on Friday next. Adjourned till Thursday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE S. Lord KILLEEN presented two petitions from parislieb in the county of Meath, praying for the speedy passing of a Reform Bill for Ireland, equally efficient with the Bill for England ; also seven petitions from various parishes in the same county, praying for the, abolition of tithes and church -rates. Mr. Alderman WOOD moved that the Golden-lane Burial-ground Bill be read a third time this day week. Ur. HUME said this Bill had been brought in on be half of a gentleman (no doubt of great respectability) for the purpose of establishing a cemetery in the only open space to be found in the neighbourhood of a very dense population, and where there were already a sufficient Mr. H. JOHNSON presented epetition frosn the Ge neral Assembly of the Kith of Scotland in favour of the plan of Irish Education, and said he hoped that when this highly important subject came regularly under discussion, all party feeling would be excluded from it.—(Hear.) Sir G. WARRENDER supported the prayer of the petition, being sure that it would be considered by the Irish Members as emanating from a body that had the hest feelings for the interest of Ireland. Mr. C. FERGUSSON agreed entirely with the prayer of the petition, coming from so enlightened a body. Captain GORDON considered that no such petition would have been presented from the Assembly of the Church of Scotland, had it not been for a misunderstanding of part of the statement made by the Right Hon. Secretaty for Ireland. Sir JOHN NEWPORT deprecated the course taken by the Honourable Member for Dundalk, believing that it would have the effect of exasperating one body of people in Ireland against another. That Honourable Member had done as much as he possibly could to spread the spirit of discord in that country, and he hoped the Honourable Member would not be allowed to pursue such a course. Mr. R. A. DUNDAS would not have ventured a single observation had it not been for the statements of the Right Honourable Baronet. He had most unworthily attacked the motives of his Hon. Friend the 'Member for Dundalk. He considered every Hon. Member had a right to state his opinions in that House, and would take upon himself to assert that those of his Honourable Friend were as sincere as those o f the Right Hon. Baronet. If he saw a sy,tern similar to the one now existing in Scotland introduced into Ireland it would meet with his most hearty concurrence. Mr. JAMES GRATTAN defended the system intro.. duced by his Majesty's Goverment. Sir O. MURRAY advocated the giving the whole Scriptures to the people of Ireland. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE deprecated any further discus. sion on this important subject. He, (or one, would like to give the experiment of the Secretary of Ireland a fair trial. The petition was then ordered to be printed. Mr. HOPE JOHNSON presented petitions to the same effect from the Presbyteries of Annan and Linlithgow. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, it was agreed that the House at its rising should stand adjourned to Wed nesday next. The Noble Lord wished to be informed what day would be convenient for the Scotch Members to take their Reform Bill into consideration, for Wednesday the Irish Bill was fixed, but any other day might be named. Mr. O'CONNELL did not think that the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland was ready to go on with the Irish, Bill.—( Hear, hear.) Nothing was yet printed, neith,r the population Returns nor the Boundary marks. In his opinion it would be infinitely better to .post. pone that Bill until Friday, so that the documents might be before the House. He saw a motion on the books by the Right Hon. Secretary her Ireland, for intro ducing a Bill to atop party processions in that coun try. But he thought it was altogether unnecessary, and hoped it would not be brought on after 12 o'clock. lie would pledge himself to prevent all Catholic pi °cessions.— (Hear, hear.) Yes, he pledged himself t) prevent all Ca tholic processions, and as fur the Orange processions, the Catholics now eared not for them. Sir R. BATESON wished to know who the Hon. illember meant when he said they would stop all the processions? Mr. O'CONNELL—The Irish Catholic clergy, who have an influence over the people. Lord ALTHORP had no objection to substitute the Scotch for tile Irish Reform Bill on Wednesday, if it were convenient to Hon. Members. As to the motion alluded to by the Hon. Member, he would pledge himself that it should come on at a reasonable hour of the night. Mr. SHEIL did not see why the discussion on the Irish Bill could not come on on Wedne,day. There was plenty of time to have the boundary maps printed before then. On the motion that the House go into Committee on the Boundaries Bill, Sir GEORGE CLERK said that the Privilege of Par: liament Bill being fixed for the day on which the Scotch Bill was proposed to be brought up, another day might perhaps be more convenient. Lora ALTHORP had no objection to any day that would be convenient to the Scotch Memb,re. No discussion had ever been carried on with more fairness than on that Bill; perhaps this day week would suit the convenience of all parties, which was agreed to. Mr. HUME had a petition to present from an indi vidual respecting the French claims. He wished to ask the Noble Lord opposite for a statement on the subject., There was 500,000/. to divide, and he wished to knew its what state the division was. Lord ALTHORP said that in consequence of a deci sion which had been pronounced, the priorities were now _ascertained, and he believed, although there were soriob disputed claims, there would he quite enough to liqu lit all the allowed demands, Mr. HUAIE inquired whether it would be necessary t bring in a Bill for the purpose of distribution. Lord ALTHORP could ❑ot precisely say, but 6 b,e lieved there would not. DUCHY OF CORNWALL. Colonel EVANS wished to ask the Noble Lord a question relative to the leases that were granted by the 'Llitchy of Cornwall: He knew of a gentleman whose had held certain lands under the Duchy for more than 200 years ; and now quite unexpectedly the Commis. sioners of the Duchy refused to renew his lease on the usual terms, but had demanded fines to the amount of 70,0001. to which he must submit, or enter into a most tedious and expensive law-suit. He (Colonel Evans), therefore, would be glad to know if the Noble Lord could give him any information on the subject; and he also wished to ask whether, in the event of this 70,0001. being received, it was to be placed to the account of the Duchy of Cornwall, or accrue to the public in the shape of a set. off against the Civil List? Lord ALTHORP—I must decline answer;ag the question of the Gallant Officer, the estate , : of the Duchy of Cornwall being the private property of the Crown, they not having been surrendered to the public with the other hereditary revenues of the Monarch. Under these circumstances, I think that the House has no more power to inquire into the management of the Duchy of Cornwall, than into that of the estate of any private gentleman. At the same time I may be al lowed to observe, that I have heard something about the of it. T ease to w h h i i s c , h ht o h w e e G ve a r l , la l n in t Officer csy, e a rhas alluded, though it would be contrary to my d u ' y t o enter i nto an y discussion t h at i n m y judgment nothing has been done which a private individual would not be justified in doing.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. BRISCOE said, that there certainly was an im pression abroad, that the property of the Duchy of Corn wall belonged to the public. Many constituents of his were deeply interested in the question : and some of their eases, if examined, would prove to be cases of great hard shift; as they had all moral justice, if not all legal equity, on their side. They had, however, taken steps for laying their cases before the Commissioners of the Duchy of ornwall ; and he hoped that they would meet with that
