The Bank Restriction Bill received the Royal
Assent, by Commission. The Commissioners were,
the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord AUCKLAND, and
Lord Wm.sttsonAst
Mr. ALFA...NUL': was heard in reply for the Ap-
pellant, in the Arpcal Cause, Finlayson v. Jones
and I‘l6lCenzi.2 attar which the Lord Chancellor
went, at some length, into tile merits of the cause,

The Militia-Training Bill, and three Road Bills,
were brought up from the Commons, and pre-
sented by Mr. Alexander, Mr. Grimstoac, and
others, and were severally read a first time.
On Reading the Militia-Training Bill, a first
time,
Earl GRAHAM (Duke of Mora. a osE) rose and
said, upon the pay and training of that constitu-
tional force, the Militia, he conceived it depended,
whether this empire was to continue a free and in-
independaut one, cr not ; and therefore, though he
was not prepared to name a day for the secontfread-
ing:of the Dill, be should, on the second reading,
hope that their Lorships would attend, as he meant
particularly to call their Lordships r.otice to it.

+?eply hnpresseA him with a just sense their
rality anti:mention to his interests and dignity. It
was, therefore, with great regret, that he felt it his
duty to inform them that !natty heavy claims on his
honour and justice still remained, for the discharge
of which a very considerable sinking fund Must ne-
cessalily be appropriated out of his income. Con-
sequently, until those demands were satisfied, dear-
bought experience had convinced him, that he could
not, however o‘ever it may be his wish, resume that state
which the House had manifested so kind a solid-
tude to see him enjoy, without running the risk of
contrading new debts. That notwithstanding the
claims he had piefered to the arrears of the reve-
nues of the Duchy of Cornwall, during his mino-
rity, had given him a strong confidence, founded
on the best legal authorities of reoovering the same.
Vet the interposition 11 his Majesty, and the gene-
rous proceedings of the House had determined him
to relinquish any further prosecution of that subjed,
arid that he does most cheerfully relinquish the
same, and had given orders to his Solicitor for that
purpose.
Mr. CALCHAFT, after having briefly observ-
ed, that the resolutions of the Committee had fallen
exceedingly short of the object for which. they were
intended, gave notice, that on Friday next he would
make a motion for more effedually reinstating his
Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales in his just
state and dignity.
Mr. ERSKINE said, he felt himself called upon
to observe, that the notice which the I lon. Gentie•
man had given, was certainly without the know-
ledge of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
Mr. CALCRAFP said, he had omitted to state
the circumstance, and most certainly he was adu-
ated entirely icy his own feelings and the sense of
duty which (after due deliberatidn) he felt as a
Member of Parliament.
The Prince's message ‘..as then ordered to be en-
tered on the Journals of the I louse.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved, that instrudions he given to the Gentlemen
appointed to take into consideration his Majesty's
Message, and to prepare a Bill accordingly, to re-
peal such par: of the act as relates to the appropri-
ation of 13,000 pounds from the revenues of the
Duchy of. Cot nwall.
Mr. CORRY, after making some remarks on the
manner of voting grants in the Irish Parliament,
which, with a very few exceptions, were annual,
said it was necessary to call the attention of Parlia-
ment to the state of the Irish revenue, und moved,
that certain papers relating thereto, be laid before
the House ; which was agreed to.
Mr. CORKY then moved, that the I louse should
resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House,
to consider the state of the Irish Revenue, on
Wednesday next.—Agreed to.
Mr. CORRY gave notice, that on Thursday
next he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for
laying a restridion on the Bank of Ireland, similar
to that of the Bank of England.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
moved, that a report of Absentees be made on this
day se'noight—Agreed to.
The CHANaLLOR of the EXCHEQUER
observed, that as he saw the worthy Chief Magis-
trate of London in his place, who had given notice
of taking the Ship-Owners Petition into considera-
tion on Wednesday next, he would take the oppor-
tunity of stating, that the accounts, notwithstand-
ing, the utmost diligence, and the most
particular
enquiry, could not be prepared for a few day
longer. A few words then passed between the
Lord Mayor and Mr. Addington, when the con-
sideration of the same was postpimed to Wednesday
se'nnight.
Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. T. Lowther, Mr. Chol-
mondely, Mr. Dallas, Hon. Edward Foley, and
the Hon. Newton Fellowes, obtained leave of ab-
sence for short periods.
On the motion of Mr. WICKEIAM, the House
in a Committee went through the Bill for preventing
Revenue Officers from voting at Eledions in Ireland.
—Report to-morrow.
Mr. WICKHAM gave notice that he should, on
to-morrow, move for leave to bring in a Bill to
