This petition was front Maiirlre O'Connor, Justice of the Peace in the County of Kerry, in Iri?land, and complained of the conduct of Mr. Ju stice Day. Mr. o"Ceunor's son, who was quite a boy, had been killed in a duel. A tlthrrant was iisned for - the appre hension-olthe other party.

Lord CASTLEBizX6I I could say, from his- own personal knowledge, that there was not a greater ornament to the Irish Relict), or a man of greater integrity, and inure honourable in'every respect, than Mr.Jtistice Day. There was an evident propriety, on every account, in delaying all inquiry into this subject. Mr. BROUGHAM was.in the same situation with his Hon., Friend, having a petition to present one from O'Hendoti, com plaining of the conduct of a judge, and another person in high authority; which, as it was now too late, he would pre sent next SeEsion.

He alleged, that from the time of his being conitnitted to prison in 1812, he bad made various applications to the Lord Chaticellor,without having received any other satisfaction than a recommendation to bring the matter to issue in a Court of Law, a measure to• which the means of the 'petitioner Were inade quate, and upon which ground he litimbly sub mitted his case to the consideration of their Lord ships,- and prayed relief. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that. a very erroneous opiniOn was prevalent„'namely; that Judges of the several Courts were folly possessed of all the peculiar ciivanistances of the cases which were front time to time brought before them;' whereas lhey had nothing to direct their judgment but the special anti defined facts that were sUbstan; tiated in evidence. With respect to the ease set forth in the petition, the interests of the petitioner had been most ably sustained by his Counsel, vet the Conti found no reason to reject the claim of the petitioning creditor. Nevertheless, on a se cond application, and some farther alleged reasons on the part of the - bankrupt, a Habeas Corpus was granted, in order that he might, as. he de sired,- be heard persanally in his own cause. The consivience of that proceeding, and even of ano ther similar to it, upon similar grbunds, was, that the first decision f the Court remained ondis ttirbed.—The petition was laid on the table. MAD-HOUSES REGULATION BILL. The Marquis of LAssoow'NE adverted to the Madhouses Regulation Bill, which lay before their Lordihips for a third reading. With the principle and object of the Bill he cordially Agreed ; he doubted not a similar feeling pervarkd their Lordships. After dwelling with nmeli feeling on the unhappy situation of the miserable beings the measure was intended to protect, and the neces sity for some regulation, he proceeded to observe, that the Bill in question went farther than was necessary or a4isable ; it went to legislate rela tive to circumstances of peculiar delicacy, and went to the enactment of a variety of regulations by far too minute. He therefore thought it pre ferable to afford an opportunity in the next. Session oil ParliAment of hrin t :ing torivard a measure upon the subject, free from the prejudicial regulations which the present contained, andiii other respects of a less excel). ionable nature. His Lordship con cluded by moving, that the Bill be read a third time that day three months. Lad BATHURST agreed with the Noble Marquis in thinking thai some revisal of the existing laws upon the subject was necessary. He also thought the present Bill went too much into minute de tail; and he expressed- his satisfactiou that the N o ble Marquis, who was 50 competent to do it justice, had given his earnest atteotiou ,to are subject. The Earl of LAUDERDALE expressed similar sen thneuts with the foregoing Noble Speaker. He particularly disapproved of the different sets of Commissioners with a concurrvnt jurisdiciton, and added his opinion, that a principle should be at tended to in legislating upon this particular sub ject, namely, that it was proper e those who had the immediate management of these unhappy persons, should be looked op to by them as having the ul timate column,. The Bill was ordered to be read a second time :his day three months.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. About a quarter before four the House was summoned to attend in the House of Peers. On their return the Speaker announced that the Royal Assent had been given to several public and private Bills.—(See Lord's Report.) - A Message from the Lords announced that their Lordships had agreed to the Navy Agents Bill, the. Savings Banks Bills, and pine other Bills, without any amendment... Another Message requested front the House a Copy of the Report of the Select Committee on the Poor Laws. PAPER CURRENCY. • - Mr. P. ORENFELL intended to offer a few observations, had the Right Ron. the Chancellor of the F.xchegoes 'been in his place, but the subject was so important that he would still make them, in the hope that they would he conveyed to that Right Hon. Gentleman be some of the Members oppo site. It was a subject on which a very great difference of opi nion had utistcd, and on which many. emitient men were still di*ided. He alluded to the Paper Currency of the country. He would not then enter into any discussion whether this had done more vnod or evil ; his object merely was to call the at tention of. his Majesty's Government to it. He wished, Mat in the approaching recess they wenid so take it into their con sideration as that kutue measure might hr adepteff which would give the Public a greater po"rtion of the protitt; o f t h e paper currency than they now enjoyed. This was the more necessary now, as, by the mon o g e m e ot, so mewhere ) . - he Pub lic within the last three years had begun to get a taste for paper currency almost in preference to geld. He merely 1 Welt , out this as a suggestion, which he hoped his Majesty's Ministers would take into their consideration. Mr. LUSIIIINGTON said, that the absence of his Right' Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) would he ac td :uteri for by the motion Which he (Mr. L. wasjust ab o ut to make. He then ward, that the Speaker du issue his Mr. 13ENNET'I' was sensibh of the necessity of withdraw ing the petition at present, hot he should feel it his duty to bring it forward next Session. THE LATE MR. PONSONBY. Mr. LAM B rose, evidently much affected, and said, that in moving to fill.up the vacancy in the . Representation, occasioned by a late afflicting' event, the death of Mr. Ponsonby, it - was due to the character of him whom they had lost, not to pass it by in the usual manner. Soma tri bute was due to the memory of the dead, and it . was mit less. required by the feelings of the living. It was not by those alone who were bound. to him by the „ties of blood or friendship, but briall the Members Of that House, and large proportion of the community, who had no opportunities of knowing him but by his share in the Parliamentary discussions, that the loss of Mr. Ponsonhy was deplored, and never, on any former occasion, frequent and mournful as they of late had been, never had there been displayed more unequivocal symptoms of heartfelt sorrow.—.(l - lear, hear !) _He should not enter into details of Mr. Ponsonby's life its this country, which had been in the public eye, and for the public service, nor of his life in his own country, with the details of which he was little acquainted. Greatly was he distinguished in the Irish Parliament; so eminently admired at the Irish Bar, that when be was % called to the office of Lord Chancellor in that country in 180 G, at a time when party feelings ran high; and when appointments were canvassed w ith the greatest asperity, a murmur of disapprobation was never raised against the choice whisk selected Mr. Ponsonby to fill the highest judi:ial situation.— That situation he filled with unquestionable ability and integrity. When he left that high office, he Was placed in a situation in that House, which it would be. improper for him. to designate more dis tinctly, but which they would all understand. He filled that station during a time of great im portance, of great difficulty, of great embarrass ', [swot, under all the aspects which human affairs • could assume, and during that time it would be admitted by his political enemies, as well as his political friends, that be conducted himself with prudence, temperance, liberality, and discretion.— (Hear !)—To an ardent love of liberty, and an anxious zeal to defend and maintain it, he joined the utmost simplicity of character, which coin tromicated itself to his manly eloquence, and this, still combined with the conviction entertained in the House anal the country of the, sincerity of his professions, and the soundness of his views, ob tained for him that confidence which had often been denied to more studied and ambitious ora tory. It was impossible that persons who con curred with Mr. Portsoitby - in. general principles, in acting with him for so long a course of years, should not differ front him in their views of the application of those principles to particular tnea-. • sures, the various biasses", the different pursuits, views, passions and feelings of men, would occa sion differences which it was impossible either to compromise or reconcile. It was sometimes time lot of Mr. Ponsoaby to differ front those who loved him 3 but those who did not. assent to his opinions, -always bore testimony to the care and sincerity with which those opinions were . formed. He had said thus much, nut in the vain hope of adding any thiog to the tame of Mr. Pon sonby, but to do justice to his own feelings., Mr. Ponsonby was an honour to the family front which he sprung, and to the country which gave him birth, fertile as that country was in men of great talents, civil and military. They had • lost him not in the Most difficult times, they could not say in tempore luctuosissimo 'rei public e3xtinctus, but it was at a time when they' might have derived benefit from snch a mind. The loss was increas ed by their having so lately seen him in full vigour and in possession of all his faculties, and when, from his- time ol life, not very advanced, it seem ed probable that he Might enjoy them for many years.—While in full health he was struck by the hand of God. To those who remained, it was an awful lesson, and he hoped they would trot lose the best means of profiting by it, by imitating the integrity of his conduct, the purity ci f Mr. LUSHINGTON said; there Were precedents for the grant in the Votes for the repair of Milford Haven, ef Chat ham Lines, and song others. Great public objecit oneti could not otherwlse be attained ; the grant was absolutely ne cessary to prevent a lots of ships and lives. Mr. CALCRAFT said, he had been misunderstood as har• ing objected to the Grant. This Was not the case. He wish ed to have the Report in possession of the House before they proceeded to-discuss the Grant. He was now of opinion, ou looking at the Report, that the Grant was necessary. After a few, words from Mr. CROKER, the rote wai agreed to. STisTE PRISONERS. Sic F. BtNIXETP said, bh had a Petition to ittesent froni a pcison of the name of John Knight, wh ) had been iontined under the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus, in R.ad ng gaol. He had lieen confined 17 wehks, all the time in soWary con finement, or nearly so. He was now removed to a n us her prison.—They had heard of foreigners win) ban applied to that House to be naturalised—they bad now an instance, un der the new• system, of an Englishman praying to be denaL turalized—to be allowed to transport himself to anothercannl try (the United States).--41e hoped it would Le either del clare s d that this man would be brought to trial, of whigh there did not appear the slightest intention, er that he would be set speedily at liberty.—The Petitlun was read, and ors; dered to lie on the table. • COPY RIGHT. Accounts of the BouLs claimed from ghtlaners i Hall by. Siun, Glasgow, and Dublin College, and the British Mu seum, were resented, and ordered to Le pi inted—lrut on tini suggcs:ion of Mr. BANaes that order was withdrawn. Mist! EXCISE OFFICERS.

PRESENT sauAnos OF TIIE CUtJNTRY. Mr. BROUGLIABI said, if the present situation of the Country presented that aspect which we hind been led to expect—if no extraordinary occur• rence had marked the commencement of the SesA sion-t-ennd if, at the close of it, the House were ' to retire, leaving the liberties of our Constitution on their ancient footing, and the poxers of the Crow') only as limited as that Constitution should keep them, he should not have fonrid it Pieces sdry to trespass once more on the indulgence of the House in their present exhausted state. But t when he looked at the expectations the country had formed,, ayd the disrppointment of these hopes in the course of the Parliamentary proceetk ings—and, above all, the footing on which now stood the rights end liberties of each individual member of the community, he could not allow the House, to be prorogued without performing the not very agreettble•duty of renderiog an item count of what it had done, and' what it had not done, and of endeavouring to carry tosthe foot of the Throne such an Address as, during rite Pro• rogation, might make a proper impression. It must he in the recollection of every man, that the distress of this country, for iome months previone to the opening of the Session, was such that it was beyond all desct ip ion. He should not ate tempt to describe it. It was, however, too feel" iogly described inn the lan g uage of many of the Petitions that had conic before the House ; and the picture of it given by the Noble Member for Hertfordshire Was indeed such as to render any description of it unnecessary. In the midst of •these grievous sufferings, it-war natural that t'liere should .lie great discontent amongst the people at ' the measures of Government, and an anxiolis site for a change; and that here and there, there should have heen partial excesses of a trifling -ex tent. A variety of persons, inconsiderable in point of - weight and understanding, hail certainly attempted to avail themselves of this distress for the worst of purposes. But amongst the reason able people of thls country-- , those %rho admired the stability of true excellent institutions, there was a universal expectation of relier,.particular. ly where, the distress was most deeply rooted, from the Parliament alone. It was here only that they found they could or ought to look for relief. Flow had Parliament answered these ex - pectations ? They had begun; not with measures for relieving the people, but fcr destroying them. Before asking what they cotild-do roe them, they had proceeded to take from them whet they pos4 sesse d, a nd When they did inquire ;into their dis= tresses, nod Measores were proposed on, his side o f t h e Honse to relieve tireinewhent it,was sisescri that these measures consisted of tf reni3ion of one' commercial policy , the answer made no suell proposition was, by adoption, a motion " that 'the other Orders of the Pay be now read."
