tion of several ogices, dud for emibling his Majesty

• frtencr. It ass the wore ohjrctionable for lire

on OC4XODIit of the sibirctisegug likely to prove au
additional charge on t mouty.
The Louts Acreocalliagid. that had the Noble
Lord (Hargiiltou) whom attotrou was to cows eu
been preseat, he woulailagre had preference. But,
as that Noble Lord,wpapeaiitt his place, he thought
that the. House could net bestow their time better
tbau isogon% through the preliminary steps to rta
very important Immure. which regarded the titsio
Reirditure. As to any probable addition of expeagok
to the country, the resolotious would never
die weight of une farthiog—lheY were more
.to prove a clear gain. Bat iu case of the elisticieuffh
of the fund to question, it wigs ueress,ary furyorlioas
arut to provide for that salaries granted, Isateetell
tense or nOprOblible the contingency. The Bill

, margavy character I br Couignittee.
Sir R. Wit-soo complained of the irregularity
of' their proceedorg.
Mr. Boot:Den said, that it would be much more
irregular fur the Hutt.e to sit without hart% any
busman before it.
Sir J. NawroaT said, that not only were notices
to have preference to the orders of the day,
which circumstauce kept marry out of the House
at that 'reglad, who would have be ii pre•east, per-
haps, had they known thst the business was coming
?at, but other Climes of absence had 'Mien Irma the
expectation of there bring two ballots an Election
Petitions. He could nut see what guard the House
could have splint the occurrence of some such
irregularity no questions of much greater import-
ance, if they were to admit Ihr propriety iu the
present instance.
Lord CASTLERMAGII said, that the House
had waited till the usual hour of five o'clock
fur the appearauce of the Noble Lord whose
motion was to lime taken place. He could not
see the impropriety ill going MI with that por-
tion of the business iu the interval which involved
uo points of dillereuce. the house resolved
that no business should be undertakeu out of the
appointed and ordiuery course, not Cyril those
parts of it which were nor to be opposed, the ab-
settee of Hon. Members, whose business lay iu
the way of proceeding notwithstabding, then his
Hon. and Learned Friend must be supposed to
have acted improperly—otherwise he could not
well be censured fur employing die tittle of the
noose, which would be otherwise unoccupied, in
going through certain formal proceedings, which
uu one thought to he otherwise than urcessary.
Sir J. NEWPoitT repeated his former objections
to the irregularity of the proceediug.
Mr. CILLEVICY had u intention of opposing the
Resolutions ou the score OW thew own merits: but
he fear:d the Noble and Learned Lord was likely
to go on to a similar series regarding the Admi-
ralty Courts, and he hail come down to the Hume
on purpose to resist any grant which should be
proposed as a pensatiou fur the loss of posts in
the latter Court.
The LORD ADVOCATE assured the Hon. Mem-
ber, that he did Slot Omni to do More than tarry
the Resolutions respecting the Court of Sessions
through the Committee.
The Resolutions were agreed to, the House re-
gained, and the Report was ordered to be received
to-morrow.

--••--•
Sir J. NEWPORT gave notice of a motion for to-
morrow, for the House to adopt a resolution that
it is es.entially necessary to the faithful discharge
of their dutiesas guardians of the public purse, that
all estimates of the Naval, 111ilttary,.and Ord Mallet.
Departments should be laid before the House
•ithin one week from the tomato:lc-meat of catch
Session.

CASE OF THE BOWDITCHES.
Mr. pause ruse to ("air) into Okra the motion
of which Le had given notice. The case of the
!lowditch convicsr d of tuirptracy, and the
abducti of a young Lady, named Glenn, had
attracted the general attention of the public.
[The Iluss. Member proceeded to state the partica-
nos corouintri w the accusation, the proceedings
nu the trial, and those subs' (lea to ii.]— A mutton
had been mule fur a new trial, which was refused
because the Learned. Judge declared, that lie had
heard of nu reasuas which could alter his first opi-
nions on the case. An itsdicttoeut fur perjury was
afterwards brought against she prosecutors, and
pursued to conviction. Notwitlestandiug w!iich
the partic• first convicted were retained iii 1/110011.
A themmi•l had beeu put in ut the name Office
by a prolessional man (Ur. Ilatiner) on behalf of
the Prisoners. The eeply was so assuraucc that the
rase should rec. ire attention, and yet the Prisoners
were kept sill their sentence expired, which took
place in November list. Suute explanation oil
such a .ulject was requisite, the more so, co.'.
siderisig the very great distress and suffering which
had &lieu Oil the lamely in consequence of the first
prote.edings. The soother, at sin advanced period of
I le,lsid undergone •-.10 mouths imprimmusent ; the sun
had been ruined by the expenses of the proceedings,
and cut off from the advantages of his professional
pursuits. Ili. wretchedness would have been extremes
but for the tradable and generous seal on his be-
half among the neighbourhood where lie live 4.—
Looking at the circumstances altogether, perhaps.
there never hid been a ruse where innuceist persons
had bean brintylir to sutler the severities .4 the law,
inure fitUnh leer the- exrecoae of the IlleiCy Of the
Crown, and yet that mercy hail not befit extended
to it. lie was perfectly aware of the greeer•l int-

Mr. BANIC63 thought that the Hon. Member had
received an erroneoos trupressiou Of the case. The
notes of the Choc( Justice related to the facts of
Ike nisi for perjury only, soil did not affect the
conviction of the Bowditches, which case, I his
better knowledge of the facto, lie multi assure the
lion. Member, stood upon vety different and sepa-
rate grounds.—The motion was withdrawn.
Returns of all foreign flour, grain, and wheat
meal, warehoused in Great Brining since the last
returns, distinguishing the quantities of each, the
ports entered, and the commie. from winch they
were exported, were ordered.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY Of SCOTLAND, Re.
Lind A. Jimmie. Tuts rose to make the motion
or which he had given notice. Before he proceed-
ed to lay before the House the particulars of that
mottoes, lie would just mention that he had been
informed that the Noble Lord opposite had
thought ;mopes' to assert that tile notice was a dis-
grace to the Orders ; this he did for ilre pus pose of
giving that Noble Lord the opportunity either of
disclaiming that opinion or of slating the grounds
on which he had formed it. The subject of the
erasure of her Majesty's name from the Liturgy
was only incidental to the question, and should
not be mentioned by him but for the purpose
of elucidating his motion. It was known, he
believe], to must Members of that House, and
if it were not for the Oider in Council, fur
a copy of which he was about to move, lie
should have thought that, an man could have beers
ignorant of the fact, that tiro thsciphore, the ser-
ene, sod the iutetual adasisiatratioe of eke Church
of Scotland, were regulated, not by the authority
of the Crown, riot by o:ders of the King in Coon-
cll, but by the General Assembly. The Order in
Council which was the subject of his motion, rela.-
sod to the alteratiais in the prayers of the church, in
cousequeuce of the death of Ilia late Majesty. It
was of the same date as the English one, its tenor
was the same, and it sal signed by the salute autho-
rities. He would ask the Noble Lord, clothier he
thought it right that such an Order should he di-
rected to the General Assembly ; or whether it was
proper that sit Order should be directed to any set
of men, to which they could not give effect without
exposing themselves, as the Learned Lord well
• knew, to the derision of their countrymen ? The
rounds on which obedience was required to this
'Qrder were stated to be two Acts of Parliament.
sue of the 10 h of Queen Alum, surf another of
George 11. He thought that all Oider issued
the General Assembly should have had better as.
thority to rest on than those two Acts of Parliament,
which lie contended were, indeed, no authority
at all for the conduct which that Order prescribed.
lie thought it roust have been by some error or in.
advermuce that such au Oder was sent, and that
nothing was intended by it. The Act was nugatory
its Scotland. or it was illegal, mud ought nut to
have been directed to the G -octal Assembly. lii
either case it was improper—if it intended nothing.
it was nugatory ; and if it did intend any thing. it
woo illegal ; and in either case it relearn! the Act
I of the Privy Combed to slerisitni, a hich he was
sure the Noble Lord opposite would agree with
hien in thinking, was to be deprecated. Ia two int-
stances that Oder led to an undue exercise orautha-
rity, attended with considerable inconvenience, and
of those it was that he grounded his motion. The
liist instance was that the Sheriff o: _ao 11: the comity
of Kirkcudbright, mud the second was that of his
son, Colonel Gordon. It was necessary to notice
who the parties were by whom the Order was brought
into action. 'file Sheriff attended the Kirk Session to
which lie communicated the Order, and that conclave
issued their in;nuction to the officiating Winter,
directing him not to pray fur the Quiet., hoes •
which the Minister, very much to Iris credit, dia.
seined. The minute of the Order and the dissent.
of the Minister were laid before the Presbytery,
who approved of the Minister's dissent, and.disap.
proved of the injunction. founded on the Order iii
Council ; thereby in effect denying the validity of
that Order itself. The second case was that of the
Colonel of a yeomanry corps, the sun of
the Sheriff before menticoiert. He ordered the
Chaplain of the regunent to preach before the corps,
inking Inns at the same time whether he 114 d hearth},,
of V.e agreement of the clergy to persist itilwayittg
fur the falterer' ? To which the Choplaiii replied,
that he heard of no such agri-eruent win% the
clergy, hut that lie wank! du bin duty acre ,t tpi
his conscience. , After the serums frui agreeably to
his usual praetice, repeated a prier fur the King,
at the corn:ln-Mu of which he was guilty of the
woustrous cri.ne, the flagrant indecency, of fly-
ing, " 'iVe pray thee also to bless the Queer ;"
for which •otresice, in the afternoon of tie Lime

the Noble Lord whether he could sill say

wort to.voiripaiiied by a- letter, signed "Jones
Buller," us tollOws : " Iferewith you will re-
ceive an Order in Council for soaking the
ricerma.y alteration in the prayers for the Rnyai
Family"—there being no prayers *Letever to alter
—(Laughter, and hear, hear, from the Oppatition)
which you 101 l see carried into effect accord-
nig In the usage of the Church of Scotland." Tina
was directed to the Moderator and General Assem-
bly of the Church of Scotland, over oboist the
Privy Couocil had no more authority than they had
at Constaiitioople. The Order was stated to be
founded on the Act of the 10th of Queen Angie,
which ordered. " That every officiating Clergymou
of the Church of Scotland should pray, in expels
words, for her Most Sacred Majesty Queen Anne,
the Princess Sophia, and all the Royal Family."
This they had no power to direct, because them
were no express words iu use in the church of
Scotland. flee only defect, of absurdity in the
was, that it did not diced the Bishops to see. it
carried into execution ; if it had so directed where
there were no Bishops, the absurdity would bare
been quite complete. The Noble Lord contended.
that the reason of the Act ordering the speoial
mention of the names of Queen Anne and the
l'riiicess Sophia was, that at that time, as well alba
the subsequent reign, there existed a strong dis-
po.ition in Scotland in favour of the Prcteudet,
and that the Clergy were in the habit of praying
for lino under the title of the King. He alto
contended that the powers of the Act passed away
with the occasion of it ; as otheroise they would,
up to this time have been praying for Queesa
Anne and the Princess Sophia, for there Was nu
authority given by that Act to alter the usmee es in
the English Act of Uniformity. The next autho-
rity on which the Order was founded was the Act of
32 Geo. 111. he believed cap. 8s ; hut as that Act
applied solely to Episcopalians, it could be no fouls.
dation for au Order directed to the Moderator and
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, who
were Presbyterians. Ile complained first of the
conduct of the Kirk Session, and next of the
arrest of the clergyman to whom he had alluded.
The Order placed the persons to whom it was ad•
dressed in this dilemma, that. they must either !resit
it with neglect and disrespect, or they most incur the
contempt and derision of their countrymen.
He understood that in consequence of the arrest a
correspondence took place on the subject, white,
was begun with Lord Sidniouth, and afterwards
carried on by the Lord Advocate. He proposed to
move for a copy of Lord Sidmouth's letter. Be-
cause that letter must either have approved or con-
demned the arrest. If it approved it, that tea* sit
act of injustice to the clergyman. and to the body
to which lie belonged. If it condemned the arrest,
it condemned the act of Ministers in issuing the
Order. He appealed to the Gentlemen opposite
whether the matter, having occurred es be had
stated, his bringing it before the House deserved
the term which had been applied to it, of a disgrsce
to the Orders of the House ? and which hod been,
lie most say, moat unfairly and unjustly applied to
it—most unfairly used in reference to it in his
übsence. The Noble Lord then concluded by
moving an Address to his Majesty, praying him to
direct that there he laid before the House a copy
of the Older in Council directed to the General
Assembly of the Church of Scotland, relating to
the alteration in the prayers for the Hoye! Family ;
and also a copy of the letter of Lord Sidasoutlf re-
lating to the arrest of a Clergyamo for violating
that Order.
Lord GLENORCHT rose to second the motion.
The merits of the case, he said, appeared to rest
on the Order being a breach of the fundamental
liberties of the church of Scotland. which adiniited
of no interference of any temporal authority, either
in its discipline, in its internal regulations, or in the
topics which were to be introduced in its public
worship. .This was a principle which had bre
long and strenuously contended fur ; and had at
length been established by the acts of perious wtw
had thought it a cause worthy of their zeal. and bud
proved it so by the shedding of their blood. th-
Noble Lord followed the Like of ar,i,uoretit takers
by Lord A. respectiag the Aids
Parliameut which he had mentioaeil. It in
be coiltewlett that this Order was a 111116 et.
little consequence, as it was not likely to lead
to any future results. Iteferoine, however, to
the Acts of Anne and of the 3i George 111., he
