HOUSE OF .LOIDS.
IfkiDAY. JWIS
The Loan Bill, and neutron. other Public Bills,
and tweetpenn Private Nils, in all fortrehree Bah,
received the Royal Assent br The
Commissioners • 'ISM the Lord 'Chao... rblicit
Walsinghaan. and Lord Alvaoley.

On. Bill returned, was brought up by Message
from the Commons, being agreed to by that Ho-
nourable House.

Several Bills were brought up from the Com-
ma/2z, presented by Mr. Alexander, Mr. Burland,
Lnrd Folksture, and others, and read a first time.
The other Bills on the table were read a stage
each ; two awe read a third time.

CLERGY FARMING AND RESIDENCE BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved, that this
Bill be read a third time.
He then called the attention of the House to the
Exemption Claus?, and said, the Noble Secretary cf
State would explain to the House what was the na-
ture of the duties of the Chaplain General of his
Majesty's Forces.
Lord FELHAM then explained the motives
which had induced his Royal Highness the Com-
mander in Chief to abolish the attachment of a
Ch :•-lain to each regiment, and to allow them
halt-pay for the purpose of getting rid of them.—
They had been thought of very little uLe, and his
Royal Highness had thought it would produce a
more egeCtual meatis of providing for the Spiritual
Service of the Army, to appoint a Chaplain-Gene-
rah invested with authority, subjea to his (the Corn-
mander in Chief's) directions, to give orders for Cu-
rates to do duty to every brigade or large body of
the military, in a place hired for the purpose,
wherever they might be stationed. His Lordship
said, that this mode of proceeding was found to
have secured the aaual service of a Spiritual Per-
son to the Regiments, much more effeaually than by
the former mode. He stated the panturn of pay
that the Chaplain-General received for the additional
trouble the alteration subjefled hint to, and the mode
in which that pay was furnished. The office was
doubly efficient, as it had personal clerical duties,
the performance of which made a part of it, as well
as the duties of the administering the ecclesiastical
arrangement of providing Curates to the different
Regiments. The Chaplain-General of the Forces,
therefore, appeared to him to be as much entitled to
exemption from all penalties of non-residence, as a
Chaplain of the Navy. He ti.treiore moved, that
the words, " or as a Chaplain-General of his Majes-
ty's k cocci," be inserted.
Lord GRENVILLE said, he was not sufficiently
master of the sullied to say much upon the merit or
dtfed of the appointment of eel:tip:ails-General of
the Forces; but he could not help regretting the
dismission of the chaplains from the respective re-
giments. Let the appointment be either right or
wrong, it was a new appointment made by the
state, which had ample resources, and ought *to
provide an adequate provision for it, without de-
dusting or drawing from the funds of the church,
and most especially without drawing from the funds
created by the poor farmers and others in some
distant parish, who ought not to be deprived of the
advantage and assistance of a resident parish priest,
for whose services they actually paid. His Lord•
ship said, he bad the highest respect for the Royal
and Illustrious Person who had so much merit in
the great care and stria discipline he manifested in
his whole condua over the army, at the head of
which he was placed ; but still entertaining the sen-
timents, and adhering to the principle which he had
stated yesterday, viz. that if Government, for pur-
poses of State convenience, creates stew officers,
Government ought to have made an adequate pro-
vision for their new officers, and not tax a distant
parish, by making it pay for a pastor of whom they
are deprived ; he must, therefore, resist the motion.
The LORD CHA N CELLO R said, he could only,
in addition to what had fallen from his Noble Friend
the Secretary of State, assert, that the words now
moved to be inserted. had been more than once
most amply debated in very full Houses, and agreed
to, and that last night they were rejected in a very
thin House.

Lord RADNOR denied that there was any
great difference, as he had been a teller in both in-
stances. His Lordship stated the numbers ou each
day, and added a few words of obsei ration on the
present motion.
The House diviJed on the motion,

Lord .ALVANLEY then drew the auzntion of
the House to that part of the Exemption Clanse
which refetre'l to the Fellows of Colleges. He ad-
mitted that the meaning et theslegislature was cor-
redly right, but it might he misunderstood ; and,
therefore, he would move an amendment, to duci-
date the meaning of which was a good deal debated.
Other Amendments were moved, and some ac-
cepted.
Having gone through the Bill, it was moved that
the Bill do pass.
'This was ()Netted to; and, after debate, it was on
the question resolved in the affirmative, and that
Message be sent down to the Commons to acquaint
them therewith.—Adjourned at half past nine.
