LORD COLCHESTER, LATE SPEAKF.R or THE HOUSE or COMMONS. This was a Writ of Error brought by Sir F. Burdett, to reverse the Judgment of the Court of King's Bencbswhich "was in favour of tire Speaker. The case was argued last week by Mr. Brougham and M r . Philip Courtenay, for the Plaintiff in Error, and it stood over till to-day ; b ut the so licitor-General was not heard on the other side, the Lords being unanimous in affirming the Judg ment.—A question had been put to the Judges, whether, if the Court of Common Pleas com mitted a person for a contempt, it was sufficient tbe i t the adjOication should state specially all the mstances attending it s or generally only ? And whether, if so stated generally, and a Habeas Corpus were issued,theConrt ofKing'sßench would dis Charge the party, unless the nature of the contempt were specifically stated ? To which the Judges answered, that the Court of Icing's Bench would not require a more - special statement, and would not, and ought not to discharge the party, giving faith to the general statement'by the Court. After the LORD CHANCELLOR had moved that the Judgment should be affirmed, Lord ERSKINE rose and said, that as be con curred in the motion that had been made to affirm the judgment, it would be quite unnecessary in almost any other case to add any thing to the formal affirmance by his Noble Friend, who pre sided ; but from what had formerly passed in the House, when the imprisonment of the plaintiff in error took place, he felt it incumbent upon him to say a very few words. At that time it was an opinion expressed by persons of great weight in the House of Commons,, and it was generally thought to have been its intention not to permit arty action to be proceeded in so as to have its privileges at all questioned or canvassed in a Court at Law, and that imprisonment would attach upon all who issued process, or countenanced it in judg ment. Lord E. said, that having felt the utmost alarm at a proposition so dangerous to the liberty of the subject, he had expressed himself on that occa sion in his place in the House with great warmth— with more, indeed, than was thought right by some whose opinions he highly valued; but-for his own part he repented of none of it, and upon the same occasion would repeat it again, and stand by every word Alf iss No man cocld respect cr wake more than he did the high privileges of the House of Commons, so essentially necessary for the secu rity of the subject's liberty ; and whilst that House was advancing, amidst obstacles, to its jost station in the Constitution, which had now . so happily and securely been attained, it was no wonder that they were jealous of their privileges, which led them into excesses unneces sary for their preservation, and inconsistent with the scurity of our legal Constitution, as they had imprisoned persons for only appealing to the laws of their country when imprisoned. - He could not, therefore, avoid expressing his heartfelt sa tisfaction at the course which had, in the present instance, been pursued. The Speaker, though standing, perhaps, in a case which might have differed in argument from that of inferior per sons (though he would give no opinion upon that), had put in his plea like the most private man. He had trot objected to the jurisdiction of the Court of King's Bench, but had pat himself upon the country for the fact, and pleaded his justification to the Judges of the law—so that it the Court had decided against him, he trust have been hound by the judgment. This was no waiver of .privilege, but an act which gave it double security and lustre, as tine privileges of Parliiment were part of the law of the land, and would always be duly maintained in the Courts of Justice. The case had been most learnedly and ably argued, and every objection taken which could support the plaintiff's case ; but if, instead of its being the commitment of the House .of Commons, it had been only that of one of the superior Courts of - Law, be should have givers tire same judgment; as he could not agree that the- Commons had any higher privilege of commitment for contempt than that which was necessarily poSsessed by the Superior Courts, tot their own protection and that 01 the people whom they protected. He always felt more than he could express in support of the legal jurisdiction of the country, as he-was sure that if they were ever overborne, the sun of British freedom would set for ever.—Judgment affirmed. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was notified by Commission to the Office Abolition and Regulation Bills, the Compenation Bill, the Irish Sheriffs' Bill, the Spirits Intercourse Bill, and a slumber of other Bills. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Lord Redesdale. The Exchequer Bills Bill, the Irish Treasury Bills Bill, the Annuities• Bill, and other Bills, were read a third time and passed. • The Greenwich Hospital Prize-Money Bill, the Militia Pay and Cldathing Bill, the Saving Banks Bills, the Appropriation Bill, the Militia Staff Bill, tire Extents in Aid Bill, the Exchequer Court Bill, the Elections Bill; the Irish Fares Bill, the Hackney Coach Bill, the Irish Grand Jury . Presentment Bill, - and several other Bills, were brought up from the House of Compwns by Sir [PRIC SEVENPENCE.. James Graham. Mr. Brogden, Mr. Dominic Browne, Sir William Lemon, Mr. H. Martin, Mr. Davenport, and other Members, and read a first time. On the first reading of the Irish Grand Jury Presentment Bill, it was ordered to be printed, and The Earl of LIVERPOOL gave notice of his in tention to move the second reading to-morrow. The Earl of DONOUGM,IORE wished fo r • furti d time, that he might he enabled to understand the Bill, which from what he had heard had fur its object to make a great change in the system of Grand Juries in Ireland. The House of Com mons had taken three Sessions to prepare this Bill, after receiving considerable information upon the subject, and it was surely not too much to ask that a day or two should be given to their Lord ships to undersand its scope and object. The Earl of LIVERPOOL regretted that the Bill bad not come up earlier, but it s I as one of veal considerable importance, and he wished the prin ciple of it to be recognized in that louse, what ever might be the subsequent opinion as to the propriety or not of pressing it through this Ses !jun. As it was, there was so short a period of the Session lett, that he did not think any delay advisable, and as the Bill might be discuss'd in a subsequent stage, he thought it unnecessary to postpone the second reading. . _ The Earl of DoNoun.rtmonc wished for some explanation as to the 13iii, but the Earl of Live. a root. said it could nor be tegtillrly given no'•_ s there being only a notice for the second reading before the House, and the - conversation dropped. The Irish Election all passed through a Con:- tnittee,, with.some Amendments . moved by the Earl of Limerick..---Report to-morrow... On the third reading of the Clergy Residence Bill, a lone conversation took place, in which the Earl of Harrowby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancellor, the Bishops of Peterhof ought and London took part. The Lord Chancellor ob served, in the course of it, that until they defined residence, and adopted some other mode of ob taining the value at a benefice than the joint re presentation of the Patron, the Ordinary, and the Parson, no good upon this subject would be done. The Earl of Harrowby moved several Amendments, some of,which were agreed to, and others nega tived. The House divided upon one respecting laying before the Bishop, in the cases referred to, the value and the population of the benefice, and which the Archbishop of Canterbury considered unnecessary, it being, he contended, already pro vided for by the Bill. . Contents 0 I Not Contents The Bill was read. a third time, and passed. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF CONIMONS. The Royal Assent was given, by Comm;ssion, to several public and private Bills '(for which see the Lords' report).

Mr. HARVEY, on presenting the Report of the Committee on this subject, stated, that it was their opinion that there ought to be the same regulations to ensure the safety of the vessel as on board ships of wear; that the safety-valve ought to be under particular replations ; and that no boat of this kind should be legal till examined by ❑n engineer, to see that the boilers, &c. he made of wrought instead of cast metal. lie coneltukd by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for:the better regulation of Steam Packets.—Leave was given, and the Bill brought up and rt;ad a first time. Mr. ABERCRoMEY, on moving for leave to pre sent a Petition 'froth t person named Richard Eller, imprisoned under an Extent in Aid, ob served, that a Copy of the Petition had been sent to the ChancAor of the Exchequer, which ap peared tohave been lost, and be had been unable to obtain any answer about it. He had to corn plain of the conduct of the Solicitor of the Crown, who had made a proposition to the Prisoner, a bankrupt, that if he would induce his assignees to forego their claims, he should be released, and not else. This language he considered to he highly iniroper to hold on such an occasion, anal lie wished to call to it the attention of sonic Gen tleman of the Treasury. Mr. LUSHINGTON assured the Hon. Gentleman he had never heard of the subject before, but be would make inquiry about it. The Petition was then read, and ordered to lie on the table. WESTMINSTER CONSTABLES.

He ob served, that these constables were generally sub ordinate tradesmen, who were taken out of their bnsiness, very much to their inconvenience, and they had never hitherto received any remunera tion. Mr. BENNETT seconded the motion, and ob. served that it Liad come to his k:;owledge, that a. ;_,
