Fite CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
was prepared to insist inquiry.
After sonic remarks from Sir J. Sebright, Arc. the mo-
tion was withdrawn.
Lord A. HAMILTON presented a petition from the
brewers of Berchin, Scotland, against a clause In the last
Scotch malt ucts.—Ordered to lie on the table.
The report of the lottery bill was presented, and agreed
to ; and the bill (for 60,0001.) ordered to Ise read a third
time tu.morrow.
EXTRA Porr.—On the question that the report of the
extra post bill he 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 be calculated to affect existing plans.
Mr. F. LEWIS was also against the bill. The post-
office could transmit letters as rapidly as Mr. Burgess, if
they did not convey passengers.
The gallery was then cleared for a division. The num-
bers were, for the receiving of the report 31, against it
Sy. The bill was accordingly lost.
Pons SCARLETT, in moving that the re-
port of the poor laws' bill be further considered, said,
he should not trouble the house at any length ; he should
withdraw it for the present session. Mach had been said
and written against the measure to influence the public
istiud—hut he should renew the bill nest session.

Bill postponed, after some remarks from Sir R. Wilson.
The remaining orders,the appropriation bill, &c. having
been disposed of the house adjourned.
TUESDAY, JULY S.
Mr. Johnson presented accounts of the Linen Board,
Ireland.
Abmtuxt.Tx HALF•PA Y.—Mr. CALCRAFT said, in
consequence of the petition of Mrs. Beevan and Mrs.
Halifax, complaining of their lialfisy being withdrawn
since ISIS, he should move for the production of the ad-
miralty order of that year, warranting 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 W alcheren. The case was a very hard
one ;it called at least for explanation. He concluded
with mov log for a copy of the admiralty order of ISIS.
Sir G. COCKBURN catered into the requisite expla-
nations. The practice was, when an officer was sick, to
permit him to remain in an hospital, or elsewhere, for six
weeks ; but it he were then pronounced incurable, he
was placed on the half-pay list, and removed to some place
of security, such as Horton; and as to the half of the
half-pay that had been granted to Mrs. Beevan, it was to
be looked on as a boon; it was not what she was entitled
to by the regulations of the service. If the friends took
ease of the invalid they had the half pay. As to granting
the half pay in 1804, for government were afterwards
round to be maintaining the individual, while the half pay
was recived by the family. He concluded with moving
the previnua question.
Sir J. YORKE said, that he had visited these ofhcers
at Miles's establishment, Heaton, and he certainly found
that insanity levelled all distinctions ;—they were in a
iiiismable plight. Regarding the half of the half pay, it
was the result of arrangement ; one half went to the Go-
vermi itt fur the better maintenance of the unfortunate

officers, the other halt to the families. The government,
he thought, hail nothing to do with it; the arrangement
had been made.
Mr. (;ALCRAFT said, he should not press the motion
tinder the present circumstances; he thought it would be
extremely injudicious, but lie could not think that the
explanation was very satisfactory. Next year, however,
when the cases of talkers so calamitously circumstanced
came before the house, lie should call particular attention
to them. He should withdraw the motion for the present.
Motion withdrawn.
FoREION GoVEittiMliNTS.—Mr. PEEL said he wished
to submit a question to the noble secretary of state for the
tot eign department. An individual of has natne, and to
whom lie was nearly related, after a residence of' seven
years at Leghorn, had been ordered by the Tuscan go-
vernment to depart front that place within 24 hours. He
complaint d to the commissary of police, but the reply
that he was a bad moral character. He was obliged
to depart, umnithstanding the incouvenience to his coin-
'nee cial affairs; and lie withdrew to Florence, but had
been unable to obtain any explanation. He wished to
knew whether the noble kid had lu:cived any
iutclli-
geucr oil this subject.
Marquis of LONDONDERRY spoke of the respectable
character borne by the individual in question, as a British
merchant. Oar wiui t. r these had immediately inter-
ft red, but tin explattation could be obtained ; doubtless
the inconvenience ',soli( d Irons some false intelligence,
for intliv;dtials in foreign COMMIE'S were not always se-
cure from malevolence.—(llear, hear! ) His lordship
added, that eventually all impediments tot the return of
this getleman lust becu retained; however, he was happy
to state, that what had happened had in no nay affected
the individual's character as a mei chant.
R. 11 ILSON said, that the great obstacle in the
svit,s of stscoessful inquiry% as the alien bill; and he there-

the eatliest opi:orttloity to lepeal su odious a

presented a petition hum Benbow, of the tits mot,
api lute. , out now .1 pi isoner in the King's Bench. An
I•iilictuient had been futond against hint, but as surety was
required nut only for Id% oppeiti alter, hot also for his good
beast/tour, lie was inutile tu procure sureties. The find-
ing of a new indictment mule such sureties liable. He
was sent to prison in May last, and he WAR now com-
pletely ruined; so that the association would lease the
satisfaction of knowing that they had de,troyed one man,
ithutit even briogiog him tu trial. Besides, the peti-
tioner cumplaitied of tiie delay of justice; the 'nisi, in-
stead of coming oil al Ilse sittings atter the present ir
to his isiespressible ustimisl •11l it was postponed till the
middle of October, the court, it beiug said, being wanted
for some persons count:vied with that culonatiuti which
was intended to relehrate a cutichatit betweeta the
and lens people. He should hereafter muse all address to
We King, praying that lie would ihrect the uelootion ul
measures thst would prevent the delay of justice, which
was a viulatiou ot Magna Luigi tr.—(llese.)
