NEW WORK BY GEOFFREY CRAYON.— " Two volumes by the Author of the ' Sketch Book' may be considered a literary treat of unusual occurrence in these times.

The Royal Assent was given by commission to the Irish Reform Bill, the Irish Boundaries Bill, and several Private Bills. The Commissioners were, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and the Duke of RICEIMOND. Sir Augustus Clifford was introduced as the new Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, by his relative the Duke of Devonshire, with the usual formalities. His Grace wore his Windsor uniform as Lord Chamberlain. The LORD ADVOCATE and others brought up the lute• rim Sheriff of Selkirk's Bill. Mr. S. BICE and others brought up the Literary Pro perty Bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL and others brought up the Irish Tithe Composition Bill. The Ma , quis of WESTAIEA.TH wished to know from the Noble Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was his intention to press forward the Bill for the Consolidation of the Jury Laws in Ireland this Sts sion ? Lord MELBOURNE said that it was his intention to do so. The Duke of WELLINGTON inquired if the Noble Lord had had any report from the Judges on the subject ? Lord MELBOURNE said he had not had any formal report from the Irish Judges. He had made all the in quiry on the subject in his power, and from what he had been able to learn, he could see no reason why it should not be carried this Session. The Marquis of WESTMEATH had certainly under stood it was not to he pressed forward this Session. The Duke of WELLINGTON could not conceive why it should be considered so urgent, more par ticularly as he understood there was another Bill of a pretty similar nature about to be introduced into the House of Commons just now, and which it was sup. posed might be got through this session. He could not conceive how it was possible that these Bills could be properly carried forward at this period of the Session. Lord MELBOURNE said, the Lord Chancellor of Ire land and the Attorney-General of Ireland were decidedly of opinion that, in the present state of Ireland, the Bill ought, if possible, to be earned into a law this Session. Lord NTYNFORD said, as the Learned Judges were at present engaged on the circuits, it was not likely that they could give their attention to this subject at all, and that that was a strong reason why the Bill should not pass this Session. Indeed it was a mockery to think of pressing forward such a Bill as this in the present state of the House. It was impossible there could he time either to pass this Bill properly, or the Bill that either was introduced or about to be in troduced into the House of Commons, when there was not time to pass a Bill for the perfecting of the Re form Act, upon which their Lordships had been so long engaged. Lord MELBOURNE said, if the all were passed now, it could not take place till the month of Linuary, 1834 ; and if the passing of it were delayed further it would put off the period of its taking effect till an in definite time. The altenetions in the Bill were not to alter, but to preserve the present practice. The Marquis of WESTMEATH considered that if the Bill was to go to the making of the selection of Juries in Ireland more popular, regard being had to what had taken place now in Kilkenny, that this was the worst time fur introducing such a Bill. As it could not take affect till 1834, even if it were passed now, that was a very good reason why it would keep in its present state for four or five months vet to come. _ _ • The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that it was cal culated to preserve the practice in very great degree as it ❑ow was, except indeed so far as the practise was posi tively bad ; and if it were not passed now, it could not possibly come into operation before 1835. He considered it was a Bill that ought to be passed as speedily as possible. CANDLES. he retail shops, is as follows j Moulds, per dozen--. 95. 6d, KET.--Aug. 6. Per Ton d.

SPEAKER'S SALARY. The Duke of RICHMOND said, as he considered it to be very desirable that the Speaker of the House of Lords should be paid by a salary instead of by fees, he would move for a Select Committee to be appointed to inquire into the propriety of paying the Speaker in future in that way. He believed every Noble Lord in the house agreed with him in his opinion, and that there fore there could be no difficulty in carrying his motion. Amongst the names which the Noble Duke read over as tho'e whom he meant to propose to he on the Committee were the Duke of Wellington, Earl Grey, himself, Lord Roselyn, Lord Redesdale, the Marquis of Cleveland, Earl Shaftesbury, Lord St. Vincent, the Bishop of Loudon, Lord Eldon, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Harrowhy, and Lord Bexley. The motion was put and carried. Lord LANSDOWNE presented a petition front the Staffordshire Potteries, i❑ favour of the Irish system of Education. Earl GREY presented a petition from Cress-street Chapel, Manchester, a parish in the county of Westmeath, from the Unitarians of Lancaster, the Methodists of the new connection in Chester, and various other places, in favour of the Government system of education introduced into Ireland. The Noble Earl pre sented a petition from Lisburn, praying for the abolition of the pnnishment by death for forgery; also petitions from the magistrates, bankers, and traders of Dublin, and one or two other places, to the same effect. Earl GREY presented a petition from the burgesses of Galway, praying, that after 1831, they may be entitled to enjoy the elective franchise. Eiri GREY prevented a petition from An individual, Upon the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE the Irish Composition Tithe Bill was read a first time. The NOBLE MARQUIs gave notice, that on Thursday next he would move the second reading of this Bill, and move that their Lordships he summoned for that day. CHANCERY PATRONAGE BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR ito;red -- ;;;rding to notice the third reading of the Bill for the abolition of pa tronage offices attached to the Court of Chancery. Earl GREY said, that he was instructed by his Ma jesty to signify his Majesty's consent to this Bill. Lord WYNFORD was by no means an enemy to the abolition of patronage wherever it might exist. He was the first he skid to abolish the patronage for the Court over which, for a time, he had presided. It might be very necessary to abolish the offices which the Bill, now on their Lordships' table, was directed against, but in his opinion this was not the Bill that ought to be passed for that purpose. This Bill could not have been prepared by the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack? He (Lord Wyndford) without meaning any disrespect to that Noble Lord, would proceed to point out what had occarred to him in the Bill as being altogether inaccurate. The bill says that provi sions shall be made for the performance of the duties of some of these offices, but no such provision is made in the bill itself, as there ought to be. As the bill now stood it abolished these offices from and after the 15th of April next, so that unless Parliament should be pleased before then to pass a Bill to provide for the performance of the duties of these offices, the Court of Chancery would be placed in a most embarrassing situation. There was no precedent of offices, which it was acknowledged had duties attached to them, and some of them very important, be ing abolished, leaving i 1 to chance whether any or what provision should be made and provided for that special purpose. The Lord Chancellor bad been too much occupied to bring in the Bill for some months, and there was no reason to suppose that his Lordship would not be equally occupied for some months to come. He thought the best course would be to postpone the measure till next session, when it could be maturely considered. There was no reason for now pressing it forward, and even if The Noble Lord did not continue to be Chancellor, he might be sure that if they ought to be got rid of, others would he as willing to get rid of them as himself. This Bill was full of imperfections, and did not abolish all the useless offices of the Court of Chancery, but left, among others, the Registers and Curaitors. He feared, too, that it would affect reversionary interests, which he was sure his Noble Friend was too just to wish to see destroyed. The enacting part of this Bill does not fulfil promises of the preamble. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that although cer. tainly these offices were to be abolished by the 15th day of April, yet, as a matter of course, the Par liament would meet before that time, and provide for the transfer of the functions and responsibility of the officers holding them. If, however, his Noble and Learned Friend wished to make certainty more sure, the time might be extended to the 15th May, or the last day of the next Session. With respect to the Registers and Cursitors, they had not escaped his attention, and he had no objection to insert them in tne Bill if his Noble Friend wished, although these offices were already, or would be very shortly, merely nominal in their emoluments. The Earl of ELDON next rose, and was (LEFT SPEAKING). HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the SPEAKER. taking his seat the House was sum• moned to the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Asseni given to several Bills, for which see the Lords' report. The LORD ADVOCATE trusted the House would not think he was out of order in moving the order of the day for the House going into Committee upon the Sheriff of Selkirkshire Bill, previous to the presentation of peitions, as it was important that it should go into the House of Lords without delay. Lord DUDLEY STUART interposed by saying he had a petition to present, and be always understood that petitions came on first. The SPEAKER said the object, as stated yesterday by the Lord Advocate, for expediting the Bill, was the extreme urgency of the business of Sheriff, and the state of health of the talented individual (Sir Walter Scott) who held the office of Sheriff.—(Hear.) In consequence the Bill was read without notice a first and second time )7, sterday. The Bill then went through a Committee, was read a . . . _ _ third time and passed. It was entitled "A Bill to autho rize his Majesty to appoint a person to act as Sheriff of Selkirkshire during the incapacity of the present Sheriff." On the motion of Mr. SPRING RICE the office of Speaker Bill, the Public Accounts Bill, the Glass Duties Repeal Bill, and the Aberdeen College Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. Mr. Alderman VENABLES presented a petition from the silk manufacturers of London, complaining of the de cision of the Committee en the silk trade. The Hon. Member entered into a long detail of the grievances com plained of by the petitioners, which lie thought well worthy the attention of the House. Lord D. STUART supported the petition. Mr. 11. L. BULWER hoped, as Member for Coven- try, he might be allowed to say a few words upon this subject, which was so intimately connected with that town. The Hon Gentleman then went into the evidence that was given before the Committee, in order to show that the distress among the silk-workers was much greater now than when a much less quantity of silk was used. The Hon. ME3IBER quoted various portions of the evi dence given before the Committee, with a view of showing the depressed state of the English silk trade, and the pro portionate increase in the French trade, and contended that the depression of the English trade was solely caused by what was termed foreign competition. He expressed his earnest hope, that when the Right Hon. Gentleman had time to examine the evidence, he would see the necessity of introducing such a measure in the next Session of Parliament as would have the effect of throw ing a fair shield of protection round the English manu facturers. Mr. W. ELLIS was exceedingly concerned, as well as the petitioners, that the Committee had not thought proper to make any report, especially considering the importance of the subject, and the very voluminous evidence that had been adduced. Ha was sure that if Honourable Members would give their calm consideration to the evidence they would see that it was easy to suggest a sufficient protec tion for the English manufacturer without wholly shutting out foreign goods. Mr. HUME said it was very easy in a mass of evi dence, in the course of which above 12,000 questions were put for any Hon. Member to pick out a few por tions that might suit any particular opinion that any Mem ber might entertain. He, however, believed that the pe titioners were i n error, an d that they attributed effects to toe wrong causes. H e w as on th a t accoun t anx i ous foi aninquiry, as it would have the effect of correcting any erroneous opinions upon this subject. The petition was stated to be from the undersigned silk manufacturers. Now there were twe classes under that head, the silk throwsters, who enjoyed a very extensive mono poly of the trade, and the weavers who worked up th e silk after it came from their hands, but the House was not informed from which class the petition came. He understood that the silkweavers of Spitalfields, and also the silkweavers of Coventry, paid to the throwslers a sort of duty of 8 or 9 per cent. upon the amount of the silk. The Hon. Member thought it inconsistent with the evi dence given before the Committee, that the weavers should ask that the articles they had to use should be increased in . price, and thus instead of assisting them to compete with the French manufacturer, rendering it utterly im possible for them to do so. The Honourable Member thought the evils under which the trade laboured was the protecting duty on thrown silk imported into this coun tr y , ) i to give relief .to the raw material, as well as the thrown, must be h a d at a c h eap rate . Th e best thing to do for th e i nterest of the manu f acturer of silk was to leav e t h em as f ree as poss ibl e .--( Hear, bear. Prohibiti ons or increased duties wou ld ten d very much, n the Hon. Member's opinion, to the extension of smuggling. He was sorry the result of the long inquiry which had taken place had not been more satisfactory to the parties than it appeared to be. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN felt called upon to state his views upon this subject. lie held in his his hand several protests against the proceeding of the Committee, from which it appeared that the greatest distress existed, notwithstanding the declarations of the Vice-President of the Board of Trade to the contrary. The present was not a subject for levity of manners. Mr. P. THOMPSON denied having treated the sub e t with levity, the Hon. Alderman had referred to him by a name not usually made use of in that House, and it was in consequence of that he smiled, and not in respect of the subject to which the Hon. Alderman was adverting. Mr. Ald. WAITHMAN resumed with respect to the Committee, it was quite apparent the Right Hon. Gen tleman had lost ground, for before it evidence had been brought forward which distinctly proved the existence of unequalled distress in various parts of country as well as at Spitalfields. But look at the unfair way in which the Committee was named ! why, it was as well known at first whether votes would be as it was at last ; yet, after sitting four month., after having received upwards of 12,000 answers, it was attempted by the op. ponents to refpect the whole by bringing forward fresh evidence, at least what was called fresh evidence, but the parties bad actually been in the Committee Room every day of its sitting. The Hon. Member for Middlesex attempted to get rid of the whole business, because they could not carry their favourable plans of reducing the duty on thrown silk. (LEFT SPEAKING.) IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, AuousT 6 . Lord SANDON presented a petition from Liverpool, for a better observance of the Sabbath. The petitioners especially complained of the neglect of that day by the tipper classes. Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from the Stafford. shire potteries in favour of the Government plan of edu cation in Ireland. On the motion of Mr. Ross an account was ordered of the number of Speakers there had been since 1688, the number of years they had served, and the amount of pen- sions granted to each. DECCAN PRIZE MONEY. Mr. WARBURTON rose and said, that nothing but the extreme urgency of the case would have induced him to bring forward the questien of the Deccan prize money at the present period of the Session, but he thought it his duty as Member of that House to attend to the solicitations of the parties in a case which he thought one of extreme hardship. The first petition he bad to present was from Sir Lionel Smith, who contended that the booty, commonly known as the Deccan prize money, ought to be distributed only among the army that was pre sent at its capture. The second was from Sir Thomas Hislop, who complained of the manner in which the money was distributed under the Treasury warrants of 1826 and 1828. The facts of the case were these—There were two armies appointed to settle the disputes that had arisen between the East India Company and the natives, one of the armies was commanded by the Marquis of Hastings, and the other by Sir Thomas Hislop. He was perfectly aware that it was contended by the Marquis of Hastings that it was only one grand army, under his sole command, but subdivided; but, on the other band, Sir Thomas His lop contended that by the nature of his commission, the Deccan army he commanded was perfectly independent of the one under the Marquis, and that he was commander in-chief of it, only subject to the commands of the Mar quis of Hastings, as the Governor-General of India. The campaign was but of short duration. The Marquis of Hastings took the field in September, and by February following, having increased his forces, and obtained a deci sive victory, that army was broken up, and he left the field. Sir Thomas Hislop remained in the field about six weeks later than the Marquis of Hastings. The booty captured, almost entirely by the Deccan army, amounted to about 800,0001. or 900,0001. At first, the Marquis of Hastings took a liberal view of the question as regarded the Deccan army; and stated, in his private and offi cial letters, he had no intention to csmtest with that army its right to the prize; but as soon as he was aware of the extent of the capture, he took a different view, and called the whole a combined army, of which be stated the Deccan army to bea portion; and then he stated that the prizes should bedistributed among the general army engaged in the general campaign. The result would be that instead of Sir Thomas Hislop having a flag eighth of the booty, it would go to the Marquis of Hastings, and in crease his share by 100,000/. The Marquis in June fol lowing sent an account of what he had done to the East India-House, and in the end of 1822, and begin ning of 1823, the question was referred to the Treasury, who in March issued a minute, and a warrant was also is sued under the Sign Manual. Those documents com pletely established that for which Sir Thomas Hislop contended, viz., that the force in India was not a combined army under the Marquis of Hastings, but that the army in the North, arid that in the South, and the Deccan army, were to be considered as independent armies. They also laid down the principle of actual capture as contrasted with constructive capture, the Treasury adhering to a famous decision of Lord Stowell upon that point. The Treasury minute stated that it was a most just and equitable principle of distribution to adhere as closely as possible to actual capture, and the intended by was of opinion that the mode originally by the Marquis of Hastings was the most equitable and just, and that the booty on each occasion should belong to the division of the army engaged in the particular operation. With regard to the general booty in the Mahratta campaign of 1817 and 1818, it was granted to such divisions of the grand army under the command of the Marquis of Hastings, and of the Deccan army under the command of Sir Thomas Hislop, as re spectively captured the same. With regard to the flag eighth, it was allotted to Sir Thomas Hislop and his officers who participated in the Deccan army until it was broken up on the 31st of March, 1818. Thus almost every point contended for by Sir T. Hislop was granted to him by the minute and warrant. But it appeared there was a cusus omissus. There was a large quantity of booty taken in the Deccan, which was not obtained while either army was in the field, but after both were dissolved. The Marquis of Hastings quitted the field in February, 1828, and Sir T. Hislop left the Deccan army on the 30th of March following. There was a large amount of tribute, rent, &e., due to the Peishwa, the deposit of which was not received until July following. In 1823, the whole booty was referred to trustees, who reported in 1826 upon it. The Lords of the Treasury, after hearing Counsel on both sides, gave fresh directions, which were, " that the booty taken in the daily operation of the troops should be distributed according to the doctrine of actual capture," and went on to decide that the amount of tribute, rents, and money due to the Peishwali, should be considered to have been acquired by the general result of the war, and ought to be distributed amongst the troops of all the presidencies. This was perfectly just, as it would be difficult to say which of the armies had con tributed most to this object. There was, however, amongst these monies a large amount of treasure belonging to the Peishwali, which, upon leaving Poonah, he was obliged to deposit with certain bankers in that town. It was not until the July of that year that Captain Robertson, who was ap pointed by the Commissioner for the affairs of the Peishwah, discovered the existence of these sums in the hands of these bankers. The minute of 1826 directed, " That any part of this property which can be proved to have been in Poonah at the time when the place was captured—viz., on the 17th of November, 1817, ought to be distributed to the cap tors of Poonah, according to the terms of the minute of the Stir of February, 1823, upon the principle of actual cap ture; but that in all cases in which such proof cannot be established, the monies or effects must be considered as hav ing been acquired by the general result of the war, and, as such, ought to be distributed among the forces of all tl.e presidencies engaged in the combined operations of the campaign." This admitted that if any sums were in Poo nail at the time of the capture, it belonged to the captors. Sir Lionel Smith was the commander of the 4th divi sion of the Deccan army, which took Poonah. Sir Tho - mas Ilislop was the Commander-in-Chief, and if it were proved that the treasure was in Poonah, then the distri bution ought to be amongst the 4th division, giving one. eighth to Sir Thom as Hi s l op. C apta i n Ro b ertson, who discovered the treasure, was agent for the East India Com pany, who claimed it for themselves : to that it was not the interest of Captain Robertson to collect any evidence for the captors, as he (Captain Robertson) was to receive 5 per cent. for himself on all that he collected for the company. This was another of the many difficulties with which the captors had to encounter in getting evidence of their claim. Difficult as this was, however, Sir L. Smith, in 1828, sent home evidence on oath from five native bankers, which showed that 8 lass and 72,000 rupees the time of the capture mitted other evidence, not that of the Secretary of was stated that 500,000 rt., in the hands of native bankers at Pooaah, at the ie of its actual capture. So that there were 1,300,000 rupees in all, whi c h th e captors claimed, as being in P oonah at the time of th e capture . Th e pet i t i oners comp lained that when the evidence was sent to the law officers, it was &Tan pauied with comments auto some parts made by the Solicitor to the Treasury. Now, if the evidenee were referred to the law officers of the Crown as Counsel, an opportunity should have been given for employing Counsel on the other side. He now came to the comments themselves. One of th objections made in them was, that declarations were not made by the native bankers themselves, but by their chief clerks or agents. He apprehended, however, that the ob jection could not be maintained. It was next objected that Captain Robertson ought not to have been the party before whom these declarations should have been sworn., This objection, he also contended, was not a fair one.— The next objection was, that the evidence was not suffi ciently particular as to the time of the money being left with the native bankers, and the date of its discovery; but this, he contended, ought to have been received a ith great allowance in favour of the claimants. The last objection was curious in itself. It was, that the principal parts of the evidence relied upon was Indian evidence. Why, front the nature of the transaction, it could rest on no other for the most part. If this were made a ground of objection, it might as well be said at once that all evidence should be rejected, and that the money should be divided amongst the whole Indian army. Under all these difficulties, what did Sir L. Smith do ? The Treasury had decided that the treasure found at Poonah should be divided amongst the Indian army engaged in the campaign of 1817, unless it could be shown that the treasure was in Poonah at the time of the actual capture, of which proof was to be ad duced by the parties claiming. On the 10th of November, 1831, Sir L. Smith received a note from the Treasury, written by their Lordships' command, stating that the evi dence transmitted by him had been laid before the law officers of the Crown, who bed advised that they bad con sidered the evidence as to the booty being " in Poonah at the time of the surrender; and that although the evi dence raised strong doubts whether such might not have been the fact, yet they were of opinion it war not so made out as to authorize the distri bution to the Deccan army, on the ground of actual capture." Their Lordships at the same time intimated that they concurred in this opinion. In the same month Sir L. Smith presented a memorial to the Treasury, pray ing to have a revision of this decision, and to be heard by counsel, or to have time to adduce farther evidence. This and a subsequent memorial were without any other effect, save that an intimation that if Sir L. Smith could pro duce any fresh evidence before the time of distribution, it would be received. It was unnecessary for him (Mr. Warburton) to point out the difficulty of obtaining any ad ditional evidence in so short a time. The petitioners then sent a memorial, praying to be heard by the King in Council; but this memorial was not heard, on the ground, as the petitioners were given to understand, that the Privy Council had no jurisdiction in the case. On the 23d of June last, Sir L. Smith received a letter from the Trea• sury, stating that a distribution was about to be made. He soon after sent a memorial, praying to he heard as to the question of the jurisdiction of the Privy Council in his case. Even this was refused; and then came the con clusion of the drama, which was, that an order under the sign manual was issued on the 31st of July, directing the distribution of the money; and by an order in the Ga zette on the 3d instant, it was intimated that the distribu tion would begin to-morrow (this day). Now he must con tend that this was not fair dealing to the parties whose peti tions he was about to present. He thought all the probabi lities and presumption were in favour of the petitioners. He knew it was said that the Privy Council in this case had no jurisdiction, but this, he maintained, should have been allowed as a matter of argument, either before the law officers of the Crown or before the Privy Council itself. He would maintain that the Privy Council ought to have jurisdiction in this case, on the same ground as appeals were made in claims of prize.money, from the decisions of the Admiralty Courts. But he would further contend, that if the warrant of 1823 could not be acted upon without manifest injustice to individuals, as in this case he maintained it could not, it ought to be revoked. He thought that much was due to the merits of Sir Lionel Smith. Independently of the great skill and bravery which lie displayed throughout the whole of that cam paign, great credit was due to him for the address which he showed in preventing the soldiers from plunder when they took Poonah. One of the great arguments addressed to the troops on that occasion was, that their claims would be amply considered when the distribution of the pi ize money took place. If after this, it were now to go forth to the world, that the claims of officers who had so exerted themselves should be neglected, it might happen that on future occasions they might not be so well dis posed to undertake the arduous task of restraining their soldiers in moments of victory. Having stated the case of Sir L. Smith, he would now call the attention of the House to that of Sir Thus. Hislop. That gallant officer complained that great injustice was done to him in the propesad plan for the distribution of the prize -money. It was well known that the war, in the course of which Poonah was captured, was conducted by two separate armies—the grand army, as it was called, under the com mand of the Marquis of Hastings, and the other cared the army of the Deccan. These were two distinct and sepa rate armies under their respective Commanders-in-Chief.. prin ciplediv of constructive capture adopted by the Lords of the s N i :17 o th e h e capt u rem y of o f t hPe"Dneacheawnaatiloenffcteee,bdusb,yutphoen 4 th tl e Treasury, the whole of the grand army was to lie admit ted to a participation of the booty found in that place ; and in this decision the Marquis of Hastings was admitted to he entitled to 1-Bth of the whole sum as Commander in-Chief of the Bengal army. Now this he contended was unjust to the Commander-in-Chief of the Dec, can army, for even admitting the principle of eos strnctive capture, still it should be asked what were -he commanders of the Bengal and Deccan armies? The Marquis of Hastings, who at the nearest point had never been within 300 miles of the operations of the Deccan army, had left the field altogether long before Sir Thomas Hislop, and yet Iris executors were allowed about 77,0001. out of the whole produce of the booty.— Surely, if the doctrine of constructive capture were admitted, Sir Thomas Hislop, as the Commander in-Chief of that army the 4th division of which had captured Poonah, was entitled to the benefit of it, and that princip'e was admitted in his case, as far as his beiug allowed his share, as Commander-in-Chief, of the booty taken in the daily operation of Dacean army. Nut only was this proceeding prejudicial to Sir T. Hislop in a pea .uniary point of view, but it was an act of injustice and nrey fairnea towards him. Sir Thomas Hislop showed that there was no combined army; that the statement on that point was a mere fiction, and he proved that there were two distinct armies, of one of which he wee the coin (Dander. The Gazette also affirmed that which the Lords of the Privy Council, by their aets, denied. He had now finished his case, and he regretted greatly that it had not fallen into the hands of some gentleman better able to do it justice than he was. There were two appeals be fore the Privy Council, the object of which was to stay proceedings under the warrant of distribution. Sir Lionel Smith demanded a substantive share of the prize-money captured at Poonah, and Sir Thomas Hislop asserted his right to recieve the one-eighth of the prize-money cap oired by the force which he commanded. In his (Mr. Warburton's) opinion, no distribution ought to be made until those gallant officers were heard before that high court of appeal to which their petitions were addressed. The petition was then brought up. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, there were, it this case, two petitions. The one, that of Sir Lienei wbo claimed a considerable portion of the booty captured in Poenah by the army under his command in t 817; the other, that of Sir Thomas Hi , lop, who corn olained that injustice had been done to him by the Trea sury warrant which gave to the late Marquis of Hastings, is Commander-in-Chief in India, a very large share of that 'sooty, although the Noble Lord and his army were far 1-c -opled from the scene of action. The delay in nettling this question of prize -money had been much censured, but there were circumstances connected with it which render, d helay unavoidable. Antecedently to any warrant for the i'tribution of the prize -money being promulgated, a most important question was to be decided, which question, it must be observed, was not, and could not, he decided until List year. The assignees of Narroba, who had been the Minister of the Peishwah of Poonah, claimed the property. They declared that it ought not to be seized by the army, because it was the private p ro p er ty o f N arr oba, to which his representatives were fairly en titl e d, under the articlei f capitulation agreed to at the time of the capture of l'uonah, those articles specifying that private property should be respected. It appeared that, on the sixteenth f November, 1817, Narroba left Poonah, and :eok the command of the fort of Reighur, Ichich he held until the May or June following. After the capture of that fort, by Colonel Protheroe, Narroba returned to Poo nab; and it was asserted that the treasure discovered at Poona h after his return, had, in fact, been surreptitiously conveyed away from the fort of Iteighur, by Narrobs's at .enlants, and was not inToonali at the tittle of its capture. The treasure was found by an (dim of the name of Ito'
