Loud MELVILLE defended the arrangements made in

ESDAY, JULY 3.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, and several members
from the Commons, brought up the bill to make fun ther
provisions for his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence,
which was read the first time.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, although he did not
mean to oppose the grout to his Ro) of Highness the Doke
of Clarence, there were soave parts of the bill on which,
at a future stage, he shottld make a few observations.
Several hair on the table were read a third time and
passed. The other bills wet e forwarded a stage, and the
house adjourned.

to be printed, on motion of Mr. Creevey.
Mr. GHAT rAN presented a petition from various inha-
bitant.: of Crow•street theatre, praying that an inquiry should

of the patent to that theatre.--Ordered to be printed.
Mr. IL CLIVE moved an adore-s to hi• Majesty, pray lag
that he would give directions fur the printing of the ninth
report of the commissioners to enquire into the fees of the
Scotch courts.—Ostlered. _ _

Tile captured slaves' hill was read a third time, and passed.
Lord LON DON DERRY, in reply, to the enquiry from
from Sir J. Macintosh, stated that he did not consider it
would be prudent now to lay before the house the documents
on which he communicated the opinion of the Frerch
government the other Plight on the ineasuris adoptieg
abolishing the slave trade.
Lord LONDONDERRY moved that the Doke of Cla-
rence's additional annuity bill be now read third time.
CUEEVEI again opposed it. It was too mach to
think ut taking the money from the pockets of the people
in such house —ai heti there was a compact family chyle op-
posite, the servants of the crown, who, in reality dec;ai
the ques • ; is hen there was any metwure fur the relief of
the people, then it was considered tam three or four hundred
were too sivall a house. That the people might see how
their money wan soled away ; that the) may judhe of the
select few who settled the business, he co tattily should take
the sense of tile house on the present question.
111. ECIII.I/ resisted the bill. He was against the
payment of is hut the bill called " Arrears ;" and he thought
that if any member had suggested an) thing of this kind
three or four y eats ago, lie would run great risk of being
laughed at. Ile felt it to be his duty to resist the bill.
Mrs SERGEANT OUNSLO W supported the bill. Tire
arrears could nut be looked at in any other light than as au
outfit. . .

_
r. MONCK said, however ungracious it might seem, he
must resist this hill. The only way of fulfilling the promises
of the house was to resist such extravagant grants as this.—
Economyw•as now iiccessury—w ithout it, he tell persuaded
that the iuterest of the debt could not be paid.
Lord A. HAMILTON resisted the arrears.

Mr. BROUGILI M staid, he shotaLl also vote against the
arrears. On Saturday the subject of the coronation had
been mentioned ; and the noble lord accused the Queen's law
advisers of a delay of wore than two month's. Dad he said
one month, it might have been nearer the mark Muy
21 the subject of the coronation was first inept td—but
there was no answer to the enquiry whether the Queen was
to be crowned; Lord Londonderry, however, said that the
Queen had no right to be crowned without the orders of the
King, hut even if it should be otherwise, lie tool She oilier
ministers were not prepared to :advise that the Queen should
be crowned. Such was the noble lord's opinion. He (Mr.
B.) then protested against being considered its acquiescing
in such doctrine. But the Queen's law officers were not
culled on to act till the proclamation for the coronation has
issued, and then till the Queen's commands a eie received—
but as to the delay, only eleven days elapsed front the issuing
of the pet (Lunation and the forwarding of a memorial from
his chambers. 'That was not too shin t a tine to settle so
I portant a case, especially when it was recollected how
important was the question, .sinl how difficult it was to het

of time; there was still seventeen days before the coronation

Lord LONDONDLARY observed, that the attention of
the Queen's law officers toast hove been long tamed 1.1 this sub-
jrct for soon after the issuing of the proclamation, the
Quern d.•m:tutled to know in is hat character site was to ap-
pear at the coronation. The ministers replied Ilea the
right war with the croon to give directions, and that the
ministers were not prepared to advise any directimis on the
subject. W hat Illinislerb complained ol• wits, that theist! was
such slowness of demand, while such quickness of reply was
expected; and the toile of the learned gentleman (NH. Dee-
m:Lit) was most significant and decidedly eliminatory., im-
ply mg a charge of a denial of justice. !Sow there had been

Mr. DI. N MAN said lie had felt surprised that the minis •
tees should have given such advice ;is they professed to have
offered, without fit ing prepated to 1551411 reasons fur so doing,
or without malting any communication on tile subject to .:cr

Lord A. lIA MILTON, on nor re entering the gallery,
oas proceeding to propose it l'e:Ottit kill to prevent the iftlitittKe
of granting ❑rrears from being drawn into precedent ; rte
required it to he entered on the joitioals, mid it was moved
oo the question that the bill do now pare.
Lord lON DONDER.R.I said, tout the que►tion had
all rally been fully argued; it was uahecessary for WO to
trouble the house in reply to the questioii now submitted.
The motion was then put and liegai Reit without at d+vt•
don; and the bill was then passed and ordered to the lot db.
Vl£ l'ailLtAllOttli begged
to state, at the request of the Dean ot Vt estinioster, Ihot
they had Mid out 29,0001. in the repairs of the Abbey
within the last 20 years; the Dean a tshea to State Ilius
much hn reply to what had been st strut on a huller evening
about the dirty state of a lie Abbey. That dirt it mast he
recollected, was owing partly to the smoky condition of the
ataitspheie. As to the profit: likely to be derived from the
opitroaChlog coronation, by letting seats to the Antal, they
had been mocha over-rated, they would ant amount to SIAM.

custom, to certain purposes other than repairing tile Abu- y•

Wevimitivier.

PI4LVFATIVE SERVICC.—Sir W. H. CRISPIGNLY
moved fur a copy of the warrant to a man named Brook,
of the proventitive service, on the Weymouth and Poit-
land station, authorising them to search a mauled wo-
man, At!. It was stated, that the search was made in au
offensive manner.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER should
move the pi evious question, as the amnion lied been made
without inquiry.
Mr. BENNE'r thought that the motion had better be
winnow'', or a notice given to the ti emir) iustitutiug

the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
was prepared to insist inquiry.
After some remarks Irian Sir J. Sebright, &c. the too.
lion was withdrawn.
Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the
hi ewers of Berrhin, Scotland, against a clause in the last
Scotch malt acts.—Ordered to lie on the table.
The report of the lottery bill was presented, and agreed
to ; and the bill (for 0,00010 ordered to be read a third
time to-morrow..
EXTRA POST.—On the question that the report of the
extra post bill lie received,
Mr. CALCRAFT opposed the bill. As the existing
plait was so successful!, secured such accuracy of delivery
of letters, he thought they ought to be slow to adopt any
measures that would lie calculated to aißrt existing plans.
Mr. F. LEWIS was also against the bill. The post-
office could transmit letters as rapidly as Mr. Burge►s, if
they did not convey passengers.
The gallery was then cleared for a division. The num-
bers were, fur the receiving of the report .il, against it
Ng. The bill was accordingly lost.
Pooß SCARLET'!', in moving that the re-
port of the poor laws' bill be further considered, said,
lie should nut trouble the house at any length ; he should
withdraw it for the present session. Much had been said
and written against the measure to influence the public
mind—but he should renew the bill next session.
Bill postponed, after some remarks from Sir R. Wilson.
The remaining ordcrs,the appropriation hill, Sic. having
been disposed of the house adjourned.

TVESDAT, JILT 3.
Mr. Johnson mesented accounts of the Linen Board,
Ireland.
ADIBIRALTV HALT-PAS.—Mr. CALCRAFT said, in
consequence of the petition of Mrs. Beevan and Mrs.
Halifax, complaining of their halt-pay being withdrawn
since 1818, he should move for the production of the ad-
miralty order of that year, wan ranting such withdrawal.
The case had been mentioned by Mr. F. Buxton yesterday;
the husband of Mrs. Bevan had lost the use of his intellect
after services in ‘1 aicheren. The case was a very hard
one; it called at least for explanation. He concluded
with moving for a copy of the admiralty order of InlB.
Sir G. COCKBURN entered into the requisite expla•
nations. The practice was, when an officer was sick, to
permit him to remain in au hospital, or elsewhere, for six
weeks ; lint it he %me then pronounced incurable, he
wai placed on the liall7pay list, and removed to some place
ct secarity, such as Hoxton ; and as to the halt of the
lialf-pay that had been granted to Mrs. Brevet), it was to
in looked on as a boon; it was not what she was entitled
to by the rectilatiosis of the service. It the friends kids
cite of the invalid they had the half pay. As to granting
the thilf pay in 1804, for government were afterwattrs
I,2lind to be maintaining the individual, while the half pay
s is ecived by the family. He concluded with moving
tin• previous question.
Sir J. YORK E said, that he had visited these olficerc
at Miles's t stablishment, Hatton, and he certainly found
that Insanity levelled distinctions ;—they were in a
miserable plight. Regarding the halt of the halt pay, it
was the re,ult of arrangement ; one half went to the Go'
veramient fur the better maintenance of the nnfortimate
officers, the other half to the families. The government,
he thought, had nothing to du with it; the arrangement
had been made.

Mr. CALCRAFT said, lie should not press the motion
under the present circumstances; he thought it would be
xtreinely injudicious, but lie could not tiiink that the
explanation was vet,: satisfactoi y. Next year, however,
when the cases of officers so calamitously circumstanced
came before the house, he should call particular attention
to them. He should ftitlidraw the 3110a011 fur the present.
A:otion withdrawn.

FOREION Gov FAINSIENTS.--Mr. PEEL raid lie wished
to submit a question to the noble secretary of state fur the
tot eign department. Au individual of his name, and to
whom he was :testily 'elated, utter a re►idence of seven
years at Leghorn, had been ordered by the Tuscan go-
vet 'intent to dep. 't flout that place within 2.3 hours. He
complained to the commissary of police, lint the reply
was, that lie was a bad moral character. He was obliged
to depart, u' withstanding the inconvenience to his com-
mercial atliirs; and lie withdrew to Florence, hut had
been unable to obtain any explanation. He wished to
know whether the noble lord had received any Whin-
genet, ots this subject.
Marquis of LO\DONDERRV spoke of the respectable
character borne by the isidividunl in question, as a British
merchant. Our nihilist( r thew had iminediatel)
iuta-
It red, but Ito explanation could be obtained ; doubtless
the inconvenience resulted front some false intelligence,
for individuals in foreign countries were ,not always se-
curers trout nialevoleuce.--(Hear, bear!) His lordship
added, that eventually all impediments to the retttin of
this grtltman had been retained; however, he was happy
to state, that what lied happened had in no way affected
the individual's character as a merchant.

~irß. WILSON said, that the great obstacle in the
way of saccessful inquiry was the nilen bill; and lie there-
foie hoped that the Noble Lord would avail of
the eat hist opportunity to repeal so odious a Bill.—

CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. - Mr. HOBHOUSE
presented a petition hum William Benhow, of the Strand,
a printer, but now it prisoner in the King's Bench. An
indictineut had been found against hint, but as surety was
required not only for his appearance, but also fur his good
behaviour, he was unable to procure sureties. The fold-
ing of a new indictment made such sureties liable. lie
was sent to prison in :thy last, and lie was now com-
pletely ruined; so that the association would have the
satisfaction of know iug that they had destroyed one man,
without even bringing him to trial. Besides, the peti-
tioner complained of the delay of justice; the triai, in-
stead of coining on at the sittings aver the presem terns,
to his ineaprrsaihleastonishment it was postponed till the
middle of October, the court, it toeing said. 'rein,/ waisted
for some persons connected with that coronation which
was intended to celebrate a covenant between the King
and his people. He should hereafter move an address to
the KM', praying that he would direct the adoption of
measure& that would prevent the delay of justice, which
was a violation of Magna Cliarta.—(Hear.)

The ATTO 17:YUEN El( AL spoke in a very low tone

eurnstaner s were likely to work such hardships, he shou;il
