Ste., to burn from six to twenty-four hours, without any care or trouble whatever. Also sizes particularly suitable for wine cellars, warehouses, halls, passages, and all other places where economy and regularity of heat is required, burning from twelve to twenty-four hours without attendance. Cost of coke for that period from 2d. to 3d. only. The PATENT TUBULAR STOVE for warming churches, chapels, public buildings, banks, insurance offices club houses, halls, lobbies, shops, Ere., decidedly the best and most perfect stove ever invented, as well as the most convenient. At the cost of one farthing an hour for fuel t for a stove sufficiently large to warm a church, capable of holding 2,000 people,) the fire (which is self-feeding) may be kept up without cessa tion for any period, requiring attention only once in twenty four hours. The quantity of pure warm air, at a mild summer temperature, which, from the extent of radiating surfaces, is equal to that supplied by three stoves of the ordinary con struction, is diffused se regularly throughout the building, as to obviate the necessity of burning or over-heating the air, and rendering it noxious and unhealthy. The heat may be regu lated at pleasure ; no sparks can escape, so that accidents by fire are almost impossible. The chimney requires no sweep ing; and the elegance and beauty of designs are such, as to please the most fastidious taste. The Stoves may be seen in constant operation, and pro spectuses and drawings as above.

That such an effort has been made strenuously, the enlarged size of the book—the great mass of matter it comprises—the numerous families it includes, embrac ing the whole privileged and titled orders, with their wide spreading connexions, generation after generation—will, it is hoped, sufficiently attest." Mr. Burke's work, comprising, as it does, matter nearly equal to thirty ordinary volumes, with upwards of 1,500 engravings of arms, &c., must certainly be looked upon as one of the most complete, the most convenient, and cheapest works of the kind that have ever appeared. Tuesday, the 18th inst., being the anniversary of the birth-day of the Marquis of Douglas, was as usual ob served at Hamilton by the ringing of the town bells, and the discharge of cannon at the palace. His Lordship having en tered his thirtieth year, a like number of shots was fired, fol lowed by a general volley from seven cannon; but what was still more interesting to the poorer classes of Hamilton, Strathaven, and some of the neighbouring parishes, his Lord ship, with that kindnet4 of disposition which has always dis tinguished him, caused a donation of two hundred and twenty carts of coals to be distributed on the occasion amongst them, which will prove a most acceptable act of charity at this incle ment season of the year, to many a poor family. Although no public entertainment was given, on account of his Lordship's absence, some private parties of gentlemen met at home to drink his health and long life and prosperity to him. They spent the evening in the most joyous and agreeable manner.— Glasyou; Chronicle. ismsz cummummem, IMPERIAL PARL LAMENT. HOUSE OF LORD: S. Fxs. 21.

Lord MELBOURNE replied that the papers would - be lai4 before the House as early as pc as ibl e . Lord ELLENBOROUGHnow vs 6 kexitoput two other questions to the Noble Viscount, to k one of which the answer might con veniently be postpone 3 to Monday. The first question was, whether it was intend at 1 th a t any message from the Throne should be sent down vi th the returns, or that the views of her IVis , jesty's Govern in ent on the whole question should be entered into on the pi •esentation of the returns? His second question was, whet tier any arrange ment had been entered into with the &Id t India Company for the purpose of dividing between That I tdy and her Ma jesty's Government the charges of an c xpedition against China ? Lord MELBOURNE apprehended t. hat no message would be sent down ; and with respect to the Noble ifiron's second question, he was not prul cared to give as answer. WAR IN INDIA. Lord MELBOURNE, after some obs,9reations that were inaudible, moved that the resolution of the House, voting thanks to the officers and troops engak ed in the capture of Gbuznee, should be amended by addinj to those names those of the officers and troops engaged in the cap ture of Kelat, which was agreed to.

Be wished to know whether since that affair any intelli gence had been received announcing that the chief of that province bad come to an understanding isvith the Persian Government, and rejected the protection and assistance intended and offmed by this country in ;ending, that force. Lord MELBOURNE said that some intelligence had been received which threw some suspicioct upon the autho rities of that place, but not to the extent supposed by the Noble Earl. Viscount STRANGFORD asked leave to withdraw his notice of motion relative to the state of trade on the coast of Africa, as he found it related to subjects of much greater tmportance and extent than he was aware of, which was agreed to.

NEW WRIT FOR PERTHSHIRE. Mr. FOX M AIME moved for a new writ for Pt fr th shire in the room of Lord Viscount Stormont, now Earl of Mansfield :.n England, and Lord Stormont in the' King;dom of Sco!land. Mr. PRINGLE wished to know whether, c onsF.stent with the motion of the Hon. Gentleman •opposi :e, Lord Stormont had received his Writ of Summons-. •lo the House of Lords ? Mr. F. MAULE said that the writ of sumn - somi had not yet been issued, but he apprehended that inac'e no difference according to the Act of Union. Sir W. FOLLETT recollected that a similar e a se had occurred since he had been in Parliament—the case, of the present Earl of Scarborough—a writ was move, d for on the death of his father, but no writ of suit ,mons had been issued, and the motion was withdi awn. This appeared to him to be a similar case. There was no proof that Lord Stormont bad become either a. PI :er of Scotland or a Peer of England; and until a noblesna, a had received a wilt of summons, it was not usual to m. eve a new writ for a place which he represented.—(the ers.) Mr. FOX MAULE was sorry to interfere with so high an authority as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. He apprehended Lord Stormont would not receive a writ of summons; he would take his seat in the House of Lcmds as an English Peer without any summons, and he ( - 114 r. F. Maule) knew of no reason why so large a district ti a Perth should remain unrepresented.—( Hear, and laughte r.) Sir J. GRAHAM said the circumstance of 1.1 its case appeared to him very peculiar. The Earl of nansfield died on Tuesday; he was yet unburied.—(Hear. hear.) As a Peer of the British Parliament a writ of summons would be necessary for Lord Stormont. That writ of summons could only issue on proof of his legitimacy, end the case stated by h's Hon. and Le irned Friend, the last case in which the quest:on arose eif the Earl of Scarborough, removed all doubt upon that gr. aund. Unless, therefore, the Hon. Member was prepared to state, on his own knowledge, that the writ of summates had issued, the time had not yet arrived for m oving the new writ. The Hon. Gentlemen new that the,: late Earl of Mansfield was not only a British Peer, but a Peer of Scotland, and that before Lord Stormont could succeed as heir to his Scotch inheritance, proofs of his legitimacy were necessary; his father being yet unburied, no such proofs had been adduced. The Hon. Gentleman was not in a condition to state that he knew the writ of summons had been issued ; and as he could not state that, he (Sir J. Graham) submitted it waspremature to move for the new writ.—( Heal, hear.) The LORD ADVOCATE said it was perfectly clear, according to the law of Scotland, that no semce was necessary of his legitimacy before he could take the title of his father ; but that on the death of the father the son immediately became a Peer ; service was altvgether unnecessary ; and the present Lord Mansfield 'Fes a Scotch Peer independent of service sad independent of any proof of legitimacy. Ther,2 6 ;to th - Jubt upon the 13w of Scotland, and it was 1 , 111 right. whatever decision the House might come to, that it shonld be aware of that fact. evidence on the point upon which to act in the case of ;TS English Peerage. The House required to have evidence' of the issuing of the writ. He considered that the Scotch Peerage had nothing to do with the question; they must therefore fall buk on the English Peerage.—(oh, oh.) The A TTO RNE Y- GENERAL said that it appeared, upon the evidence of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Pembroke, that the Earl of Mansfield was dead. There could be no doubt that Lord Stormont, the late Member for Perthshire, as he must persist in call ing him, was his eldest son and heir. Take the case as if the late Noble Lord had only been Via. count Stormont in Scotland. There could be no doubt that his eldest son became Viscount Stormount imme diately on his death, and, being a Scotch Pecr, could not sit in that House. The county of Perth was now unre presented ; and was it not as; a matter of course, there. fore, that the writ should be issued ? Mr. GOULBURN said if the law was to be taken as laid down by the Learned Attorne}•_General—if it was to be taken flr granted that the seat was vacant without any evidence, the House could never again inquire into the legitimacy of a Scottish Peer. He thought it would be very inexpedient to come to a ha'ty decision in a case which must form a precedent. He would move, therefore, Ghat the debate be adjourned to Monday next, " to give an opportunity for searching out the precedents upon the question." Mr. FOX MALTLE would certainly oppose the motion upon the ground that the House had obtained the opinion of the Lord Advocate most distinctly given upon a point of Scotch law. That opinion was that by the law of Scot land Lord Stormont w a s n o w a Scotch . Peer, and if be now asserted his privilege of sitting for the County of Perth, ho would subject himself to a heavy penalty. He sew no reason why that large district should be unrepre sented, and upon those grounds he would persist in the motion which he had first made, viz.—That a writ be now issued for the county of Perth. Sir R. PEEL would decidedly support the motion for adjournment. The position of a Scotch Peer in his opi n on very much resembled that of an Irish Commoner sitting for an Irish constituency, and inheriting a title front his father. In that case he was disqivalified from sitting, not in the House of Commons, but for any Irish constituency ; and it was important to ascertain the course pursued on such a vacancy taking place—whe ther the Speaker issued his writ immediately in the recess or waited until some - evidence had been laid before the House. There was no representative for Perth yesterday or the day before, but it was not thought necessary, on the death ot the late Earl Mansfield being known, that a race should be run, in order to move the writ. The proposal was not that they should suspend the writ indefinitely, but that the debate should be adjourned until Monday next, in order that they might consider what the precedents were. If the precedents were in its favour, let the writ be issued on Monday next, but before it was decided upon was it not decent at least to have the opportunity of eight-and-forty hours' consi deration, before they established a precedent which was to govern them in future ? Mr. ROBERT SI EUART denied that the case was analagous to that of an Irish I eer. The difference was that an Irish Peer vas not prohibited from sitting in the House of Commons, because be might sit fur an English constituency, whereas a Scotch Peer could not sit in the House of Common: at all. He feared that there was nothing more than a mere wish to prevent a precedent being established on the other side—(Loud cheers from the Ministerial benches)—it was utterly impossible that any precedent could be established different from that which bad frequently taken place before, and it being admitted that the Earl of Mansfield was dead, and that his son was a Scotch Peer, he did say that the House had a right to suppose that there was something yet undisclosed which induced Hon. Members on the other side to come forward and prevent the writ being issued. Mr. GO ULBU RN could assure the Hon. Gentleman that he had been influenced merely by a wish to prevent an improper precedent being established. Mr. SH A W said, that on the death of Lord Farnham, Mr. Maxwell, who represented the County of Cavan, suc ceeded to the title, and although Lord Fariaham had died dur ing the recess, the vacancy had not been declared, nor hada new writ been issued until the meeting of Parliament, because as no writ of summons was issued to an Irish Peer, the Speaker had no official information on the subject. Sir R. INGLIS rose for the purpose of calling the attention of the Houc to the case mentioned by his Right Hon. Friend the Member for the University of Cambridge.—[The Hon. Gentleman then read from the journals an account of the proceedings in the House, on the IS:h of January, 1811, on the motion that a new writ be issued for Gloucestershire, in the room of Lord Dursley, who had succcedcd to the title of Earl of Berke ley.) The Speaker on that occasion had issued his writ. but it had turned out afterwards that the allegation upon which he had proceeded in so doing, was incorrect, and the other House of Parliament had decided that that Gentleman was not Earl of Berkeley, and he had never sat there by that tile. Now, as no Gentleman could state it as a fact, from his own knowledge, that Viscount Stormont was now a Peer, it would be more consistent to consult to the ad journment. Mr. HUME asked if the Hon. Gentleman meant to state to the House that there were any doubts, as to the legitimacy of Lord Stormont ?—( Cheers ) Sir R. INGLIS had cautiously abstained from making any reference to the grounds of the decision to which be had alluded.—(Cheri.) Mr. HUME said the points of that decision were known to every one, and therefore he was justified in asking the question.—(Cheers Ind laughter.) Sir W. FOLLETT could assure the Iron. Gentleman opposite who bad attributed motives to Gen lemen on that side,that he was totally ignorant of the local politics of Perthshire. His only obj , ct was that the House should proceed according to precedent. The question was, whether the House ought not to proceed in this case in the usual, ordinary, and proper course. It bad been said that there was no doubt whatever that the Viscount Stormont in Scotland was Earl of Mansfield in England, but that was not the only consideration which the House should look to. In the case of the Earl of Scarborough the writ had been suspended till his elai.n had been duly ascertained.—( Hear, hear.) He would not pretend to dispute the law of Scotland in the cue as laid down by the Lord Advocate, b► t be stall t iougnt that the House shout I be guided on the matter by precedent, and that they should pursue the usual course on such occasions.—( Hear.) Hon. Gentle non oppo site could not, be believed, show any precedent of a writ having been issued immediately on the death of a Scottish Peer. Nobody, he believed, on his part, bad the slightest motive in taking the line they had done, bat to prevent the House from proceeding without dive deliberation. Mr. FOX MAULS said that Hot). Gentlemen oppo. site had not denied that Lord Stormont was now a Scot ish Peer, and that if he took his keit in the House he would be liable to a penalty. Mr. J. JONES was of opinion that the House should delay the issuing of the writ. Mr. O'CONNELL—ShaII we be on Monday in a situation to be cognizant of more facts than at pre. sent ?—( Hear.) There can be no doubt that Lord Stor mont now is Lord Stormont of Scotland ; as such he can not sit in this House.—( Hear. ) If you want to wait till you find a candidate for Perthshire—( Loud cheers and laughter from the Ministeriaiists, and " Oh, oh," from the Opposition.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL—The rule of the House appears to me to be that the writ should be issued in the room of any person unable to serve in this House.— ( Hear, hear.) This was done in the case of Lord Clive __recently become Earl Powis—(llear)—as in the case of Lord Ramsay, new Lord D a lh ous i e; an d so it was i n the cage of Lord Kinnear, some years ago.—( Hear.) The practice has been not to search for precedents, but to issue the writ, supposing that the House are satisfied with the statement of the Member moving for it. Now, in this case, will any Member state that there is any doubt that Lord Stormont is now a Peer of Scotland and a Peer of England—( Hear)—and therefore unable to sit in this House ?—( Hear, hear.) In the case of the Earl of Berkeley—and were such a case to arise again, there might be great difficulty. For supposing a question to arise on which counsel had to be heard, would the House say that there should be a vacancy for some year or two ?—(Hear, hear.) But that is not the pre - sent case.— ( Hear.) The present case does not appear to re quire doubt, deliberation, or delay.—( Hear.) I think the House ought to proceed in this case according to its usual practice. Sit WILLIAM RAE said that as lone as any doubt existed, as to whether the Noble Lord ;he Member for P.rth was Lord Stormont in Scotland, or Lord Mans field in England, the writ ought not to issue.—( Hear.) He did not mean to deny that the eldest sons of peels were used to take up their titles immediately upon the death of their fathers. But net one could do any act as a Peer without producing the proof of his legiti macy. It was necessary for every one voting for the six teen representative Pee rs proof to produce such of bein g the sun and heir of his father-4 A laugh)—before he o hea D r V The ed ;OC ATE said th at t h ere could be voted. — b L t lir, A tl l l a t ij immediately upon the death of a Peer, his eldest son became a . Peer.—( Hear, h ear .) I t might be matter of accident weether, fur ma n y years after his sue • cession, a Peer might do any act, or exerc i se his right of Peerage, so as to require the proof alluded to.—(Hear.) Was the House, then, t o delay the issuing o f t h e wr i t until the exercise of some judicial power which a Scotch Peer might undertake cr not at his option—( Hear, hear —should render the proof of his legitimacy indispensablo —(Hear, hear.) In fact, the whole question for the House at present was, whether it was satisfied of hi (Lord Stormont%) father's death ?--( Hear. hear.) Sir G. CLERK sa id i t was undoubtedly true, that / r vious to 1811, when the House committed the 'fa m blunder of issuing a writ for the county of Gloucester the room of Lord D'Eresby, on the supposition of H father's death—the House :was accustomed to move ne writs in the room of the eldest son of a Peer upon ile mere rumour. He considered that the case of the prose rt Earl of \Vemyss and the Earl of Beverley, where t Ie Hume refused to issue the writ in consequence of the w rit of ummens not having been issutd,. , ett!eri the matter s a a ce nd ed h e e d t t l o lt:rQture trusted the pcstponcinent asked would b e Lord HO WICK could not conceive that in the prelim' NEW WORKS.
