tX the characteristic Properties of the Work, both in their
Extent and Arrangement, it will ba nicest-au to remark
Ist. That in the Arrangement of the References to Th.mtugy,
it dissents ye, immaterially from the Sacred Regards of our
Sritoure. The moat' it evinces t'ie Attributes of the great
Creator, will, it is thought, be sufficiently clear to weaken, if
not to remove, the unfavourably bias which exists in minds
unacquaimed with the Code of Melehommedan Belhl. Da
near Affinity to the Lusk of Genesis h particularly conspi-
cuous, and in its References thereto, it is more comprehen-
sively Descriptive than perhaps any Work which Ass been
hint trio presented .0 the Literary World.

be discussed in regular order.

Volume, wherein every interesting matter relative to the sub-

of the Work (as far a. the separate and eolectics matt.- may

whole as complete as possible.

Having th,.s expatiated upon the Heads of the Work, the
Tranitlainr hones that the judgment of • liberal Public will
determine that he has been sufficiently comm catire. He
has tise,rfore only to add, CM: the Work u a (artful Traus.
Litton .of the o,,rmal, and that it appears to him tp ;.reserve

ELFCTION BILL.
Lord GRENVILLE said he ghoul J move that
witnesses be heard in support of the allegatif ns of
the petitioners for the Bill ; and, as few of their
Lordtaltipt possessed that legal knowledge which
might restrain the evidence within legal hounds, he
should propose that Counsel assist to examin, the
witnesses. He said he did this to meet !he wishes
of the other Noble Lords, for he was still persuaded
that the evidence produced in the Committee of the
other House, was sufficient ground for their Le ird-
ships to proceed on with regard to this Bill. He
then moved, that the second reading of the Bill be
postponed till Monday next.
The LORD CHANCE:I.-LOB assented to this
course, provided it was understoo I their Lord hips
called in Counsel for their ow.) assistance. le
would again observe, however, that no case, what-
ever may be its enorrn'ty, could persuade him that
it was tit to pass this Bill, on a partial principle, and
violating the constitution, as it did He would also
say, that he should b- glad that the Noble Lord were
convinced how itnposs'ble it was to consider the
matter given in evidence bet Ore the Commi!ree of
the other House, as legal evidence for their Lord-
ships' consideratiot.
The second reading of The Bill was then postponed
till Monday, and witnesses were examined to the
Same effect as the evidence in the Committee of the
Commons ; Mr Plomer, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Gase-
lee, attending as Counsel.
During examination, an evidence, named John
Toms, stated, that he had made a memorandum,
while at Aylesbury, of the names of five or six per-
sons who were present at the eleetion' and being
ordered to tell where the same was, he said he had
left it in his desk at Aylesbury. The Loan Uri ars-
cst.not, in consequence, took occasion to °hie. ve;
that it was proper, when evidence had to speak of
memoranda, they should be prepared to produce
the same. A discussion, thervfere, took pace, in
which Lord GRANYILLS admitted tl.e necessity of
sending the witness for the memorandum ii: ques-
tion, in order to corroborate his deposition. The re-
sult was, an order for him to proceed immediately
for Aylesbury, in charge of the Serjeant at Armt.
for the memorandum, and to appear ,tt tar bar of
the House, with the same, on Monday next. He
was given *co understand, that his being accompa-
nied by the Officeralluded to, was ~r)t intended so
render ham uneasy, but to give due weight to Ms
evidence. He was then conducled from the ksr,
and the Iluuse adjourned, without going, into other
business, at half past nine o'clock iota tame:row.

HOUSE or Cos.lMO\s
Mr. Rose took the oaths and his seat for Chi ist-
church.
Mr. LATOUCHE presented a reesition from the
corn-merchants of Dublin, praying that thei- interest
might not be affeeted by any proc• ed ng pied in
pursuance of the Report of the Committee of that
I louse on the Corn Trade.
Mr. DENT presented a petition from several per-
sons at Liverpool, against the Bill for the Abolition
of the Slave Trade.
Mr. H. I.ASCELLES moved that an account of
the attendance of Members not bating sufficiently
numerous, the second reading of the Yorkshire
Clothiers Bill be postponed till tam 'now. Ordered.
Mr. ROSE observed, that a Member of that
House had very lately obtained the reversion of a
place in the Duchy .f Lancaster ; and gave notice,
that be would to-morrow call the attention of the
House to that subjefl, in order that it might be con-
sidered whether the Member should vacate his seat.

On the Motion of Mr. Rose, the House prnce:d.
ed to the Order of the,Day for taking into comiiier-
ation the last Report of the Committee on the Lis-
keard F.leelion Petition—in which it was resolved,
" That John Daman, the Under-Sheriff of Corn.
wall, had aged contrary to his duty, and to the
privileges of Parliament.' He then moved that the
charge against John Daman be heard at the bar of
that House on Monday rest; that a copy of the said
charge be sent to him ; and that he be at liberty to
be heard by Counsel. Ordered.
Mr. H. THORNTON presented a Petition from
several insolvent Debtors praying tor relief.
On the motion of Mr. S. BOURNE, the COM..
mimics of Supply and Ways and Mean. Ware
off till to-morrow; and the Committee on the Inite
Revenue Regulation Bill was put off till Monday

CONDUCE OF AN IRIiH JUDGE.
Sir JAMES STEWART rose, purse le to the
notice he had given, to call the attenti4 u of the
House to the consluet of Mr. Justice Fi a, of the
Court of Common Pleas, in Ireland He was 'ex-
tremely sorry that tie painful duty should be im-
posed on him, of bringing forward a serious charge
against a person holding so h. gh and honourable a
situation as that of one of the Judges of the land.
Rut when such persons n ale an improper use of
their authority, it was the duty of Parliament to
enquire into their c.indua. The Hon. Baronet
then recapitula•ed the ka,iing points of a retition,
ebich he held in his hand, ar.of which, he saisi, came
from a very respetaible Magistrate in the North of
Ireland. He then presented the petition, which
was read by the Clerk. It purported to be the pa.
tition of John Hart, Esq. of the City of London-
derry, in Ireland; and stated, that the Petitiosee
was possessed of certain estates in that county, end
in the Coun, y of Donnegal. The Petitioner then re-
lates the circumstance of a man named Dobson
having been tried at the last auttren Assizes for
Dornegal, on a charge of improperly procuring the
oath of a Magistrate, concerning the repair of a
road, and that he (Mr. Hart) had no concern
whatever in that trial, or in the business to which .t
