PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENC E.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, MARCH 29.

The Earl of KINGSTON took the oaths and his seat, as a
Pter of the United Kingdom, by the tide of Baron Kingston. The
Noble lord was introduced by the Earl of Limerick, as Baron
Foxford, in England, and Lord Redetelale.

PRINTING RETURNS.

Earl GROSVENOR moved, that certain returns which had
been laid on the table relative to sinecure places be printed.—
Ordered.

The Noble Earl also moved, that the retums relating to Offices
in the Colonies executed by Deputy be printed.—Ordered.
GialLordship observed that he had another motion to make,
and be was in hopes that the Noble Earl at the head of his Jilajes-
ty's Government would hare been in his place when he mule it,
bite as that was not the case, he saw no reason why he should not
offs, it to their lowd.hips' notice, not being aware that any *Wee-
' Lion would be made to it. lie would therefore mar, that a return
be made to that tionse-of the reduced sir. of Persons executing
the office of Clerk of the Pelhill

COLONIAL RIAVERY.
Earl SPENCER presented a petition from the inhabitants of a
place, the name of which we could not hear, praying for the gra.
'due/ abolition of Slavery in the West Indies, wluch was ordered to
be laid on the table.

The Bishop of LONDON and Lord EXMOUTH presented
petitions to their Lordships ; but from the inaudible tone in which
they were read, we were unable to learn the objects cif them, or the
places from whence they awe. They were laid on the table.
•
SILK TRADE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the WoobeeleiLd
stated to their Lordships, that he had been desired by a d
from the silk trade to present a petition, signed by 23.,7 if ‘.that
body residing in London and its vicinity, praying that their Lerd-
abille mameli net star the di* Bill to gips isse a law. The /*Ms
and Learned End observed, that the language of *Freddie *ea
in all respects unexceptionable, and he had thought it his duty to
present it. •

The Marquis of LANSI)OWN fully retained those opinions
that a Committee of their Lordships had ventured to embody in •
Report sonic years ago upon this subject. Had he found anv rea-
son lo alter that opinion, he should, without reserve, declare the
change in his sentiments ; but the more he reflected upon it the
more he was convinced of the soundness of the doctrine contained
in that Report. His particular object in then rising was to avail
himself of the opportunity that the prewntation of thq petition
afforded him of doing justice to one of the witnesses wht was ex-
amined before that Committee, of the name of lisle. respecting
whom he understood that there was not a more Tellpsetable man in
the city of London. From the manner in which he bad given his
evidence, it had been stated that Mr. lisle was more favourable to
the proposed alteration in the silk laws than he redly was. The
fact was, that in the course of his examination he mentioned the
names of several ladies, who were well known to their Lordships.
who had imported foreign silks. From delicacy to those ladies, the
shorthand writer was ordered to strike out their names from his
notes, which he did. Immediately aft. Mr. Hale had referred to
this partial importation by these ladies, who availed themselves of
the facilities they fcund in carrying on this contraband pursuit,
he low asked if he thought such importations operated Unfavour-
ably against the silk trade ? His answer was, that he did not
think that they did ; and he gave as a reason for it, that by these
importations the newest and most iinportant fashions were intro.
duced into this country, which were beneficial to trade. tut it
had gone forth as if this answer of Mr. Hale had been made with
reference to the general question, viz.—whether he thought im-
portations ea the extended wale would be unfavourable to the silk
trade? He thought it due to Mr. Hale to state thus much to their
Lordships, because he had certainly never gone the length that had
been imputed to him, although he had given a favourable festa-
-1 mony to the importation of foreign silks, under certain regulations.
The petition was then laid on the table.
EDUCATION IN IRELAND.
The Earl of DARNLEY congratulated their Lordships upon'
a Commission being appointed to inquire into the state of educa-
tion in Ireland. This measure, which the o4ber House of Perlis.
meat had adopted, would enable him to curtail many of the obscr-
rations that he should hare occasion to trouble the House with oa
a future day. He should not now trouble their Lordshiys farther
than by movies for certain Returns relative to the Protestant
Charter Schools in Ireland for the years Intl, 1610,1811, and NIL.
Ordered.

SLAVE PIRACY BILL.
Lord BEXLEY arrived the seconfreading of the Slave Piracy
Bill.

The Pimple of LANSDOWN observed, that coseigering it a
Bill of peat imprgsea, be thought a day my* at safe bait at
apart fat of it. He had ate gum abjection to Ong
earyat Ai
(us whit II mla ate the Amcor i4o.l4able
Secretreburet).
Lord BEXLSY (in a very low tone across the table) mid (as we
understood his Lordship), that it was certainly competent to any
Member to move the' reading of a Bill without giving notice of his
intention so to do ; but if it were the wish of the Noble Marquis
to deliver his sentiments on the Bill, he could do so on its going
into the Committee.

The Marquis of LA NSDOWN observed, that in point of strict
order he knew that any Member might Move the reading of the
most important Bill, but that was not the customary course. If
the discumion was to be deferred to the time of going into the Com-
mittee, he had ito objection to the Bill being read the second time
then.

Lord HOLLAND begged to remark, that when their Lordships
were summoned they were bound to perform the service of the
House, and not any particular business for which they might have
been called.

Lord BEXLEY moved that their Lordships be summoned for
to-morrow (this day for going into the Committee on the Slave

IRISH TITHE COMPOSITION BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN said. that he had petitions
respecting the Tithe Bill to present to their Lordship., similar to
those which a Noble Friend of his (Esti Darnley) held, and which be
would Dot then move to have laid on the table, in consequence of
the illness of the Noble Earl at the bead of his Majesty's Govern.
meet. He understood the Noble Earl would not be pble to attend
in his place before Friday next, and on that day he should inked*"
mpoetunity of presenting the petitions that had been sent to him.
For the same reason he should defer moving the second reading of
the Bill for the relief of Unitarian Diasenters. He was not
aware till that morning of the illness of the Noble Zed, which
would prevent him from attending in his place for someday.. His
Lordship then moved that the Order of the Day be reed fee the
impose of discharging it, and also moved that M Leeditips be
summoned for Friday inst.
The Eerl of DARNLEY stated, that ha should defer presenting
the petition he was entrusted with on this subject, for the reason
&seized by
_hie Noble Friend (Marquis of Lenedown).
GROSVENOR said a few words, which were quite roan.
&Me below the bar.

The Earl of KINGSTON said, that he should postpone the
presentation of several petitions with which tie was charged, on the
submit of the Titbe Bill, until Friday, in consequence ef the illness
of the Noble Earl.
