that lie is to make his appearauCe in the next batch
of Veers, under the title of Baron Mount Omar,
of the county of Middlesex.—Thia devotion of
his Knighthood to Mrs. Clarke, although not in the
slightest degree adulterated by the tender passion,
has already produced some terrible doutestie explo-

kinder the ‘neceesty of relating.--When Mrs.
Clarke lately visited the Opera-House, his Knight-

however, that love is suite out of the gue4ion.
The simple Knight has a handsome er ire, and a large

of marriage from :t very respectable tradesman,
who has retired from business, with a large for-
tune, and lives in her own neighbourhood. A tri-
fling obstacle, it is true, *tents in the way of this
latter business. Mr. Clarke, the husband of the

made worth his while to sue for &divorce.

quainted with the Plaintiff's family, he was a Cap- =
tail' in the Shropshire Volunteers; that the Defend-
ant came with the Regiment on perinaneot uuty
to Market Drayton, and the head-quarters were at
the Plsint,W'i house ; that the Defendant white
•
there paid great attention to the daughter of the
Plaintiff, and made her offers of marriage; but that
she most prudently referred him to her father for

he emir ed to pay his addresses to the daughter, •
till he purchased a Lieutenantey in the 16th, when

shortly afterwards left the place. She communi-
cated to hint her situation, and he wrote to her, pro-

termination ;he again repeated to him his deter- ='
eiiinition to marry his sister, and promised to re-
turn in there weeks for that purpose ; he, however, .
did not return: and she was afterward delivered of
a son.—Mr. Dauncy's statement was fully proved

of whom stated, that the daughter had always coos

species of internal itoproveinent, uor ally outer
meditsin through which public bounty might be
beetoweil. could lowliest such marked and deli led
national advantages as fecl arisen from the opera,
tion of the /tie to which he had referred. The in.
eteasse of agriculture in Ireland (the p object •
of Mimed ',irrigation) was a benefit not merely be-
stowed oa that (smeary, ill the leant of liberality, hut

could heretofore have doubted. the preeeiit
said coininereed state of Kiiriese au•l Atuerire
would furnisa arguments to Iwinz con-
viction to his mind. It war ao tiocontroverted feet,
that the agricUlture of (;neat Britirm hail not tor
many years been equal to the prodnetion of grain
sofficieot for her OW COUSUIII pt 1011 ; and that we
had, for several years pest, most lavishly and
provide's:ly expended tailbone in improving and
extending the agriculture of foreign and hostile
nations; by purchasing their corn, while we inif- •
fared the fertile lauds of Ireland to remain until-
led, for want of bt cheap and easy couveyattee of
their pro.liice to market. It was also mbititted,
that the deficiency of capital iii Ireland was so
great as to render it impracticable to obtain an ex-
_ tensive inland navigation, a ith apt considerable Par-
liamentary aids ; and it he was founded in these
points, the only thing that remained to let•cousi- •
dered was. in what 'Timmer, and under what regu-
lations, these bontities should he adininietered,
and the system which lied proved so
should be further. extended ? He professed him-1
self to be un acquainted with the detail of the busi-
ness, and indeed the other nes:roe:try aviicatioes of
• any man holding his office, would render it com-
pletely 'worm ticuble fur Lin to enter into the to-
wlines ilecessary to form a correct judgiaeut on
matters of this nature; cud therefore he conceived
himself justitied tis bringiug forward the measure of
continuing the /oceanic-Board of Directors of In-

mine and impure into the different liees of Leviga.
Aims that were already and might hereafter be pro-
posal fur, and to stale their opiliiims no their re-

therefore moved, ee That leave he given to bring in

Sir Jou* Nevreoar said, that lie perfectly coin-
cided ht the sentiments expressed by the Ri4lit
Meicher in the commencement of his speech,
namely, that the further extension of Inland Navi-
gation io Ireland, was u most desirable object, not

in Ireland, duriug the present session of Par-
' hiniteut ; and we have no certainty that any such
grants wi:l be made at a fdture period; and there-
fore the whole t of the Right honourable
Gentleman's fatuous uselemre is, to insure us,
that we shall lare the salaries of officers to pay,
whether we may have any employment for those
officers or not.—l shall therefore vote against the
motion of the Right hon. Gentleman."
_

Mr. Next:at. said, that un man was snore fully
convinced than he was of the expediency und monist
policy of eucisuragiss'g the farther extension of In.
laud Navigation in Ireland, by Parliamentary
grouts, and he was sineerely rejoiced to find that
the Right Honourable Secretary not only agreed
with lain in that principle, but had adduced one
of the strongest arguments that could be urged iu
favour of that measure—namely, that it was a 11111.
wire of British ',Miry, independent of nay
advantage that I related might, asa distinct uien.lter,
derive from it. But agreeiug as he did with the
Right Hon. Gentleman its principle, lie was sure
prised to find outline in the measure propo•ed;
that teoileil its the smallest degree to curry that
principle into effect. The Right Honourable
Nlember's plan was to appoint • Boaid—To do
what.? The fund which they were originally ap-
pointed to distrihute was expended. If it ass, in-
tended that the Board war to Is' orally use, why did
not t.se Rt. I Imi. Secretary come forward, told pro-
loose to renew the fund ? or rather, why does not the
Noble Loll (Castlereagh) fulfil the sole pledge
liven Icy him to the Isiah Parlianteut, that %them
ever the sum of 500.0ti01. then granted, should he
',Traded, His Majesty's hlinisters would come
forward, end recommend it to. the United Parlia-
ment to wake such further grants ar should be
aufficient to complete the general system of Intend
Navieation in Ireland ? 4. And I now see, said Mr.
Panwll, a Rt. lime molt I.eanied Gent. in his place,
(we suppose he alluded to Doctor Unigessass) who,.
whets the grant for 3101,0391. wise proposed by the
to the Irish Parliament, moved an,
ameollinesit, and proposed a million to be granted
fur the extetisiosi of Navigatiois; upon which
occasion it was, fluid, the Noble Lord anode the *i-
leum pledge to which I have alluileit, and upon the
faith of which pledge, the Right I loanarahle and
Learned Gentleman withdrew his amendment. If
I min incorrect in my abatement, I desire that the
Noble Lord, or the Right Illoewitirable gentleman
will set sue right. Well then—either it is the iu-
tention of His 3laje.sty's Ministers to recommend
further grouts to be made for the extenaion of In-
land Navigation in Ireland, or it is not their inten-
tion. If it be their intention to carry into exeett-
tioo the principle which the Bight Honourable
Secretary has mooed, of exteudiog Inland
6011 its Ireland, and which is the professed object
of the Rill, an object which he fully admit% (anima
be accomplished without further Parliamentary
aid, why does lie lint bring forward a gambols for
rm adequate grant for that piirpose, and which
grant, if inside, would have rendered it sinnecessary
to have put the payment of the salaries of the llovirst
npott the Consolidated Fund, as those safaris,'
would naturally have been paid out °fonds grant
But, I confess, Sir, that there appears to use some
rest:ott to inspect, that Ministers have tto itatentiola
all -devil. to make any further grod, and that their
only object is to the people of behold with *
delusive expectation, that future grants will be
made, and in the ;neon time to sectilecoseliirta-

to avail themselves, of it ; namely, the extension of

and front theme into the aunt fertile pert,' of the
county of Tipperary, by Calair, Chnirnell, and

This is a line in which I have im spersoliel interest
whatsoever : but this line, whether it be considered
in a military, or its a commercial point of view,
whether its furnishing the hest and speediest
mauls of crioceotrating the internal force. and tbs.
tribliting the internal produce of the island ; or
whether v. e consider it as tending heaccelerate the

cedes: him, having both professed themselves to be
such warns friends to the. measure for the further

notwithstanding, determine to oppose the intro- ,

look more like peevish oppositinu, than any real

rending; or they:sway, if they think fit, Maroduce
such provisions in a Cotninittee on the Bill, as
shall model it to their own liking. But it is impos-
sible to give credit to the profenions made by
Gentlenten, of their anxiety to promote
and at the same tithe to suppose them
serious in their avowed intention of eieleav oaring to
throw out a Bill which simply propoers to accom•

on both sides of the Mouse; and ulthosigit ( leo-

was cast upon the measure at the time of the Utintii;
but,-on the contrary, it was perhaps the single mea-
sure, whirls, at that important crisis was received
with perfect approbatiou by both sides of the (louse.
Gentlemen affect to think that the Bill proposed to
be brought in by my Bight Ilona. Frieno, the out-
line of which he has given, is merely a Bill of Pa-
tton:lgal, amid that no solid or substantial measure
is intended to hollow it ; if such were really the
ease, 4 will candidly admit that the proposed Bill
would be a measure of extreme alistardity. But
what is the tied? .Various lilies of bilasel Navigas
