Mr. BRAND thought it was a most imptirtant question to decide, tvhether the 'people were rrel sonably disposed against the Constitution. He. would not enter into the geoeral question, but he, would say, that if Ministers wished to carry the country with them, and to gain the tonfidenee and support of all well disposed, constitutional, and loyal men, they would abstain from intro ducing into the Committee any persons whose names were not such as would carry conviction of the necessity of the conclusion they might come to. Mr. tiARHAM took a view of the different periods when similar measures were deemed necessary:be fore, particularly at the conimencement of the late war, nu. which occasion, he contended, the circumstances of the country, and the dangers to be apprehended from Ole proceedings of the.disal feeted, were totally different froM what they were At . present. , He strongly deprecated the .wish to continue the. Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Suipelisiyn vierc to last during the election of Parliament, he would ask, could it be called an election, or wonbl it be Parliament (Hear, hear, hear!)-- Might not any Metnber who chase to utter his opinion be imprisoned as long as the Minister ellitsei: What remedy would lie have ? Jo surrendering this liberty, we, in fact, surrendered the House of Commons 4 but he trusted, far different proofs would he afforded from. what, bad yet .heen a dvanced, before the House - a:66ld consent to su'cli a sacrifice as would surrender the constitutiou into the hands of sisters. He would almost entreat Ministers to reconsider the subject, and to adept some course that would better satisfy the people. Mr. W. SMITH thought. a wrong decision had been come to by the late Committee on the idol.. motion laid before it, and was iheretore to send any new papers betore the same Tribunal. With respect to the place with which he Was coir. nected, he was sure an *ironer decision had taken place in the Lords' Committee, and he did not kitow that any evidence but that on which their Report was founded had been submitted to the COmmittee of the House of Commons. The , Steward of. Norwich, a very' respectable Ma gistrate, who usually 'takes the chair at the Sessions in the absence of the Recorder, had re quested him to state to the House, that the Grand Jury had. keen charged to inquire if there Were, or had' been, any seditious or blasphemous societies, A. very careful inquiry was in coeseqUence set on foot, and the result of it he begged to letid• then read the Preset.tment made by the Grand Jury (which has been published), in which they declare it to be their opinion, that no such so cieties had existed in that city. On this Present ment being made, the Steward discharged the Grand Jury, declaring, that in his opinion t City of Norwich must mite stand acquitted of that. with which it had been 'charged. This was said nor merely in tor offieial way, but was , t h e private opinion of that respectable Magistrate, who had authorised him to state the tact 'as forcibly as he could to the House. The ioqiiitiuow'crilled for ought, at all events, to be entrusted to oilier ' hands it this were done, lie shduld rather hope that a different conclusion mould he come to by Gentlemen who had` no former opiiiiims to main tain, than trout Abase who had already gives) such a pledge as he thought had beett.given by the Members of the late . Committee. In Ireland, when a part of the country tsits (iodated to tie au a disturbed stateohe whole kingdom was not put out of the law, He therefore contended, because symptoms of disaffection had been manifested in same parts of this country, it did not inflow that . the whole of it should be: deprived of the benefit ,! of the Habeas Corpus Act, 1 Mr. YROitIBIUM thought the late Committee would have been regarded with more respect had it contained more County Members. He could not consent to delegate to any individual the - power of naming a.Committee on such 'an occa• sion. If Cite. motion before the House were agreed to, they would give the Nobler Lord the power of reviving a Committee, which had been formed. by means of the mere semblance of an election. He should be disposed to suggest.sothe alteration in the Committee, which should give - it a greater number of COuntiMembers, but at present this was not to be done, as he: could not move an amendment oil au amendment. Lord W. Miasma, was of opinion, any,Member objecting to the revival of the Committee, could propose any alteration in it that he might think proper. The names he apprehended would be put seriatim, and any one could be opposed, and ano ther moved as its substitute. Mr. LAMB cordially approved of the motion' of his Right Hon. Friend, .end earnestly recom mended the Noble Lord to take another Com,- mime, and commit' the proposed inquiry to per sons whoSe minds were unbiasSed. The late Com- Mittee revived, its decision, whatever, it might he, would be sure' to be pursued by obloquy.. If the result should be the sante as before, it woOld:he said they were previously . pledged to it, and if, on the other hand, it should be of an opposite Character, it would then be asserted that they had produced the new report from alarm, in conse quence of the obloquy, t oao and former repro ' bation, which was calletl fort by their Report. Sir W. BURROWVI spproved of the motion of 'his Right Hon. Friend, las he thought it- would 'be better that the measures .tiltimately adopted should be resorted to on the report of 42 Mem• bers of that House than of 21 and those 21 'chosen by the Noble Lord, and going into the new inquiry with a ,strous prepossession on the subject. Lord Maros? said the motion of his Itight Hon. Friend did not appear to him to suggest-the most convenient mode of appointing a Committee. If it shoold he the pleasure of the House to revive the old Committee, of which he had the honour to be one, he should teriainly he constant in his attendance. , it could not be denied that the old Coumittee would have some advantttges over any other. They would possess greater facilities for conducting the inquiry, and wouthey hadbegun,ld. more readily take up the sequel of, that . than it could be taken op by any other body of men. t ut• at the stoic time it - mast be -adatitted, the Old ehmailtiet woul4:vot proitiee that efr"-et, on the piddle which ktti , tftsiratile. The advantsgtis and disadvantages of the two plans . ought to he' balanced. He could wish to mix up some netv names with some of the old Committee. He was unwilling to exclude Ministers. He thought • they ought to, be in the Committee, as well as some of lri3 'Honourable 8,1(1 Right Ho nourable Friends who were directly opposed to them. The other Members of the Committee he could Wish to,be new, and selected from different sides of the House. He Wiated the Committee to have the power' of sending for persons, papers, and records. He did not approve of the motion of the Noble Lord, nor could be vote for that of his Right Him. Friend. Sir J. NEWPORT said, the question now before the House was simply whether certain words should be omitted in the motion of the Noble Lord, to make room for something which lie should afterwards propose. It would afterwards be for the House to decide, aye or. co, on any name that might be moved. Mr. BATHURST thought the object of the Hon. Baronet 'could not be obtained but by' withdraw ing his motioo. Sir J. Newt:soar said, the words he wished to be Omitted, thrown out, the next question that would be :put was open to any amendment. therefore did not see there was any occasion for him to withdraw his motion, as had been sug gesttfl by the RiAt Honourable Gentleman. ' Mr. STUART WoRTLEY was afraid the country would not he estisfied if the old Committee wet e revived without any alteration. He could wish some new. Members to be added to it. To accom plish this, be supposed he must first vote for the ntotiou of the Noble Lord, and he presumed it would iheu he competent for hint to propose that other Members should be added to the old Com mittee --(Cries of No, no 1)--He Wished to ask if this could be dipie ? The SPEAKER epprehended the course proposed to be pursued was impracticable now. By the Vote of the .House it had already been decided that the Committee should consist of twenty-one Members. It, then, it should be carried that the old Committee should be revived, that deci. sion would he conclusive against the admission of new Members ; but in cases where the old Mem bers could not he obtained, one new Member, it wa known, must • be added in the room of the hitcAttorner;Cleneral. Mr. S. Woims‘ then ,annonnced Lis intention to vote for the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet. The .House divicied, when the numbets were, For the original 4esolation 126 For the Amendment 66 Majority When strangers were re-admitted, the Speaker was putting the question " That the Committee should report on the matter, as it should appear to them, to the House."---This motion, after a few words from Lord POLKsTONE, which were referred to by Lord CASTLEREAGH, Was agreed to. It was th en resolve d,' " That the Commitlee meet at • .. t.welve' o'clock to-morrow, and have power to send for persons, papers, and records." Lord FOLXSTONS moved, iu order to put the Rouse in possession oldie real state of the Coon -Ity, that en instrnction should be given to the tOmmittee ta4;titiaire particularly into the origin, character, and extent of tlid disaffection supposed to•exist in any part-of the country, or alleged to exist, in any Rioter laid before the Committee—to examine witnesses on these particular points, and to inquire into the credit due to the allegations made, arid to the written evidence given, and to report on KB these porticiders to the House, and to add the documents on which the Report should be founded to - the RepOrt, as an Appendix. Lord CASTLEREAGH contended the former part of the Resolution of the Noble Lord was already met by the vote of the House that the Committee shoold report on all matters referred to them; 'He objected to the last part at it, and could not refer to higher antliorit ytor doing so than that of the late Committee, in the report of which it had 'been distinctly stated, that the evidence given before them could not be published without ex posing the persons wito had turnished it to the vengeance 'of •those affected by the disclosures which had been made, and without risk of defeat ing the ends of justice. Mr. BENNETTA:CfeItded the• resolution. It was true the Committee had the power of doing what be wished them to do, but the preient motion went distinctly.ta require them to report on all the particulars which it set forth. In 1812, the lamented Mr. tVhitbread, contending for nearly the same things, twice divided the CoMmittee; of which he was then a Member. He had been given to understand, that certain active, meddling Ma gistrates, bad insinuated charges of a serious na ture against gentlemen of the most irreproachable condnct in Northumberland. Was it right that innocent persons should thus, be put to the Bar ? One gentleman had gone to the Cheviot to hunt, and it wet inconsequence pretended, that his lie ;sign was to gray the shepherds of the Cheviot bills, in arms ligainst the Government. Nine tenths of -the charges matte and acted upon, he believed to rest on no better grounds than this idle report. He waslold that in consequence of some loose information that had been obtained, 'the streets -of Slirewsbnry were now lined. with ca valry.' It was slid that it was in contemplation to seize the depot of arms established there. " I," exclaimed the Hon; Gentleman, " say there was no such intention."-' (A 14144 !)----Notbiog could tend more to disgust time loyal than such iincees. sary precautions..' He hadino hesitation in saying that much of the information of this nature which bad been teceived, might 'be traced to the Go vernmentitself. Mr. likruussr did not believe any thing like that which had been referred to by the Hon.Gen demon came within his own knowledge. With respect to Northumberland and Shropshire be had been misinformed. There was nothing to be laid before the 'Committee that would at all compro mise them. The motion wise then negatived. Lord Fot.itstoNa thought it desirable that they should know who had ,been taken under the Ha.. beas Corpus Suspension Act, and therefore moved that an inetructirm should be given to the Com mittee to inquire into the particular case of each and every parson detained under that Mt, setting fortirtite -names, age ra &as, prafessi ons, and copaiians ol'ihe parties ; the places uerr Were. arrested, Anti where they were now confined ; slid a!so the npiolocii of the Committee on their ieveral cases. Lord CASTLEREAGH opposed the tnotion as ode which went to give the Committee a most uncOni. • stitutional controul over the Magistrates. The resolution was put and negatived. Lord FoLitsroNE gave notice, that on Wed 6 nesday he %%Quid wove that such a return should be anacle to the House as he had just called for.— U f a . i"Piiiiin u vent , t l itite ci there 11 0 ri or wake ~ n rcf, as a ; on. 34 ii lite OM ‘ 4 theref c to be ,i 8 in il 1 tiLi ' l llir be 'it Ihit h e g oi. h Papers t pilri ; ,, I° 'lle, to „ f or - , i , d m.,, ; 4 .., td th e h) iot' t hid se , t rust .!flo any sit° , 'q° ll of yUlli" U , , P r opOS ;AO., . 13 enera 0 14 ', 41 ' Ile tio P c: 1 baeri r l ail 1 VOl.m t te 41(Y At SI est ', 41 t 4 pliti , ... liti i f , I ttili i 1g Prue hi'' ~ Ito 1 0 , 1 e Is l befint I vp er .. t hliell Id illt 4. the lib e l Alai 41I1 r if no JW,' lalid ge et' ' ti t L hitn t h ' , 4 . 4 .lneft . 4... ro l'i,' V t lli tnt, ~I`,:t:telefi "0 ~,1,,, .

The Order of the Day for committing the Lead Mines Bill having been read, Sir J. triltAlIANI objected to several clauses of the Bill, particularly to that which weut to arrogate contracts s4leinitly passed between landlords and their tenants. He coutencled, that if the present measure were carried into effect, landlords . who now received 10001. a year, would be reduced to 6001. and would thus at once lose one half of their property. He then moved that the House resolve itself into the said Corn• ' mittee this flay six months., Lord LASCELLEYI contended, that the effect of the Bill %Tonic' only be to compel the proprietors of Lead Mines to do thatahich they had constantly done for 60 rays; It wrothd only put the case on the ; same footing,. by law, as that on which it had been fur that period by custom.

Mr. WooHee was without any pro.' fessional assistance. F will be recollected from the proCeetlings of last Term, that the alleged libel in question ap peared in a periodical publication Catlett The Black Dwarf, of the 241 at April lust, of which the. de fendant was. printer and proprietor. The tendency , of the production was aid(' to he to bring the Ad• ministration of the country into hatred and con tempt, by charging the Ki!rg's servants with a corrupt violation of the Cculstitution, Ste. end to • charge the Ministers above-mentioned with a .Corr opt tnalversation of the public resources of the country. The ATTORNSY.GRNBRAL, the SOLICITOR-GB* NORIO, ' Mr. RICHARDSON, and Mr. Saarneao, conducted the prosecution., Amongst the passages set forth in the ,f rst count, which were inserted in an article under the . head, " The post, the . present,, and the future," werethe following : We•start from the.contrast of what we wete With what we are, with as murk astonishment' us if we could not have anticipated the danger.
