ing that there were in the colledlion of the late.
Charles Townley, Esq deceased, several specimens

vantageous to the promotion of the arts in this c.,,ra.

in Ireland, be said, a union of thirteen or fourteen.
parishes in one county and only one church, whilst
these were thirteen or fourteen Catholic chapels in
the same county. He thought, therefore, residence
of the Protestant Clergy ought to be enfirced.
However, that the matter might be duly considered.
he should only wish that the necessary information
on the subjeCt should be immediately furnished to
enable him to bring it forward, in case the Right
Honourable and Learned Gentleman (the Attorney
General) should not do so, early in the next Session :
he would for the present content himself with
moving,

That there be prepared an A,e-nint of the Dignities, ^re.
bends, Benefices, Donative!, and Parochial Chapel;' in whait
the Clergy are runt resident, in order to be laid before the
Hutto., early in the next Session.

the Motion, only he thought the information cc. 1
not he obtained.

torney General) had been mentioned. be thowithr
it necessary in his aly.este, to sav, t:La he knew it
was his intention to bring forward such a Bill early
in the next Session.

The Motion was the agreed to.
Colonel STANLEY postponed the consideration
of the Report on the Duke of Athol's Petiticci

to -morrow.

The Report of the Prize Agency Bill r.•as brought
up, and several new Clauses added by Sir
Scott.
Mr. JOHNSTONE moved a Clause,
_ .

That nn Prude, should, by himoo,'„ or patjter, aA Ca the
Claimants in any cause in which he was emislo:oJ
them; and are eerie.

He mentioned under a penalty of 5001. and loss cf
place : as a reason for bringing forward this Clausr,
he said that in the last war the King's Prodor had
been guilty of such a praaice.
Sir W. SCOTT said he had no ohjeAioa to the
Clause, but that it was unnecessary. He denied that
an•: such praftice had ever existed.

Mr. JOHNSTONE said he was surprised to hear
the Right Hon. and Learned Gertleman say so, as
it was on a former occasion positively asserted by
Admiral Cochrane, and not then denied by the
Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman. The clause
was then brought up, went through a Committee,
and was agreed to, and the Report ordered to be
further considered this day se'nnight.
Mr. HUSKISSON gave notice that he would.
to morrow, move fora Committee of the whuls
House, to consider of the report relative to the al-
lowing the importation of coals by the Grand Jun:-

Horse Duty Bill, were severally read a third One,
and passed.
On the question that the Bill for supplying cer-
tain towns in Ireland with water, be read a third
time;
Mr. FOSTER opposed it, on the ground that it
gave too great a power to the Grand Juries. He
therefore moved, that it be read a third time this
day three months.
Colonel HAGWF.LL differed from his Right
Hon. Friend who spoke last, and thought the Bill
gave no novel or extraordinary power to Grand
Juries, and hoped therefore the I fume would agree
to the third reading.
Sir J. S'I'EWART said a few words in favour of
the Amendment, which was carried without a divi-
sion, and the Hill, of course, lost.
Mr. ALEX ANDER brought up the Report of
the Committee of Ways and Means; the Resolu-
tions were agreed to, and Bulls ordered thereon
He then brought up the T.: Colleflors Amend-
ment Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered
to be read a second time to-morrow.
The Irish Duly Colleaion DV was committed,
the Report to-morrow.
The Irish l•'ees Bill was read a second time, and
ordered to be committed to-morrow.
The Expiring Laws Bill was committed, the Re•
port to-morrow.

I .ON DON,
THURSD'Y. Ji.xt 6.

The two Houses of Parliament met yesterday.
Commons a Petition was presented from the
!holders of Middlesex, in the interest of Sir
as BuaosrT, praying leave to defend his
and Mr. Cxxxvir gave notice of a motion on
iy, to fix a day fnr the two parties to exchange
this mode of proceeding, the question of
bribery will not come into discussion.

ie understand a force of fifteen sail of the line
be assembled in the Downs, where it will be
ly to a& in the case of any hostile movement on
side of Boulogne or the Texel.

IVe have received a letter from Dublin of the Ist
tstant, from which we have made the following
t.raCt :—" ,1 circumstance has recently occurred,
which has made more noise in our Four Courts,
than all the br;efs and causes of the Term. I did
however, wish to communicate it, as I expated
tijestment might probably take place between
parties; but as it has been more than hinted at
some of the newspapers of this day, I need not
observe any further delicacy. It is a curious case
!libel founded upon the precedent of Mr. Justice
bassos's case. Mr. Rowe, a barrister, and the son
ft. R. Rows. Esq. a gentleman of large fortune

the comity of '.Vexford, had, above a year since, a
iii,arerment with a Mr Ea ts, another Barrister.
Member of the Lawyers' Corps. The busi-
came into the Court by way of informs.

Face
ON

, and there was a good deal of angry feeling
both sides. The result, however, was, that the
ajerity of the Ltwyers' corps supported the part of
Fitt's, and Mr. Rowe was expelled the corps.
senten-e, with some strong resolutions signed
slaw members of the corps, were published in
Dublin Papers, and Mr. Rowe proceeded upon
them in helm!, but without success. Having.
however, got int n l.is possession some of the Dublin
Papers, containing the Resolutions, which were sent
over to England and published there, and conceiv-
ing them to be a libel upon his charaner, he has, I
anderstaad, sought the redress in Westminster Hall
which he thinks he ought to have received here.
He has accordingly preferred Bills of Indianient
for a lite 1 against five flembers of the Corps, by
whose authority and influence these resolutions are
have been made public. They are
4,4, Esq. STLwART KING, Esq. captain
twyers' Corps, Dixon, &Lis, and MoROAr4
, f'ssrs. The Bill has been found against
Middlesex Jury, under which, accord-
construdion adopted upon the law in
these Centlemen will be carried to Eng-
I understand that the apprehen-
repetition of this proceeding has in-
Arroßocv GENC/lAL of England to
Ell: now before the I-louse of Corn-
that suhje.l, and that nn time will be
