be instituted as to the reasons for withdrawing the renewal
of the patent to that thentre.—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. H. CLIVE moved an address to hi. Majesty, praying
that he would give directions for the printing of the ninth
report of the commissioners to enquire into the fees of the
Scotch esurts.—Ordered.
The captured slaves' hill was read a third time, and passed.
Lord LONDONDERRY, in reply, to the enquiry from
from Sir J. Macintosh, stated that he did not consider it
would be pendent now to lay before the house the documents
on which he communicated the opinion of the French

government the other night on the measures adopting fur
abolishing the slave trade.
Lord LON DONDEftRY moved that the Dnke of Cla•
rence's additional asinuity bill be now rend third tune.
Mr. CREEVEY again opposed it. It was too mach to
think of taking the money from the pockets of the people
in such house—when there was a compact family circle op.
posite, the servants of the crown, who, iu reality decided
the question; wheu there was any measure for the relief of
the people► then it was considered that three or four hundred
were too small a house. That the people might see how
their money was voted away; that they may judge of the
select few who settled the biniviers, be certainly should take
the sense of the house on the present question.
Mr. BEECHER resisted the bill. He was against the
payment of what the bill called" Arrears t" and lie thought
that if any member had suggested any thing of this kind
three or four years ago, he would run great risk of being
laughed at. He felt it to be his duty to resist the
Nn SERGEANT OUNSLOW supported the hull. The.
arrears could nut be looked at in any other light than as an
outfits .

Mr. hIONCK said, however ungrai ions it might seem, he
roast resist this bill. The only way of fu•filling the promises
of the house was to resist such extravagaut grants as this.—
Econoinywas now necessary—a ithout it, he felt persuaded
that the interest of the debt could nut be paid.
Lord A. HAMILTON resisted tile arrears.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, he sl Id oho vote agniost the
arrears. On Saturday the subject of the • had
been mentioned ; and the noble lord accused the Queen's law
advisers of a delay of more than two m o nth's. !lad he mid
one month, it might have been nearer the mark. May
21 the subject of the coronation was first mentioned—but
there was no answer to the enquiry whether the Queen aas
to be crowned ; Lord Londonderry, however, said that the
Queen had no right to be crowned without the orders of the
King, but even if it should be otherwise, he and the other
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 as acquiescing
in tech do:.trioe. But the Queen's law officers were not
called on to act till the proclamation for the coronation was
issued, and then till the Queen's commands were received—
but as to the delay, only eleven days elapsed front the issuing
of the proclamation and the forwards% of a memorial f
his chambers. That was not tun short a time to settle SO

i ..portant a case, especially when it was recollected how
important was the question, and bow difficult it tans to get
at the requisite documeats in the British museum and else.
where....( Hear, hear!)—But there was Mill no great pressure
of time; there was still seventeen days before the cornoation
we. proposed to take place; and there were ILISIRIICCS on
record no the seventeenth century where there had ►een only
sixteen day s notice given.
Lord LONDONDERRY observed, that the attention of
the Queen's law officers must have been long turned to this sub-
ject, for soon after the issuing of the proclamation, the
Queen demanded to know in a hat character she was to ap-
pear at the coronation. The ministers replied that the
right was with the crown to give directions, and that the
ministers were not prepared to advise any directions on the
subject. What ministers complained of was, that there was
such slowness of demand, white such quickness of reply was
expected; and the tune of the learned gentleman (Mr. Den-
man) was most significant nod decidedly criminatory, nn-
plying a charge of a denial of justice. Now there had been
three memorials, the first on toe Yfith tilt. The one received
to-day, forwarded yesterday, claimed to be heard before
the King iu council; that was the regular course of pro-
ceeding ; and the request had been complied with, trom
favour amid grace, not as matter of right. Her Majesty was
110% to he heard by her counsel before the pr,v) tweed,
n support of her claims.
Mr. DEN MAN said lie had felt surprised that the minis•
ters should have givers such advice as they professed to have
odered, 'without be jug prepared to ;Mimi mesons for so doing,
or without making any communication ma tile subject to her
Majesty ; just as the question was now put in courie of itlVeli•
ligation, lie should abstain front making any fin t her remarks.
The house then divided. Ayes 94—Noes 33—Majority
in favour of the hill 61. . .

Lord A. HAMILTON, on our re entering the gallery.
was proceeding to propose a resolution to prevent the instance
of granting arrears from being drawn too precedent ; he
required it to be entered on the journals, and it wns moved
ou the question that the bill do now pas,
Lord LONDONDERRY said, that the question heel
already been fully argued; it Was unnecessary for lain to
trouble the house in reply to the question now submitted.
The motion was then put and negatived aII ~,ut a d,vi-
sion ; and the bill was then passed and ordered to the lord..
Warns neTES Anase.--Dr. Pill LLIMORL begged
to state, at the request of the Dean of Wear-um:der, that
they had laid out 39,0001. in the repaint of the Abbey
antral the last 20 years; the Dean wished to state thus
much in reply to what had been stated on a former evening
about the dirty state of the Abbey. That dirt it mint be
recollected, was lIW lug partly to the. smoky condition of the
atmosphere. As to the profits likely to be derived from the
approaching coronation, by letting seats in the Abbey, they
had been much over-rated, they would nut amount '4)30001.
and those profits woule be applied, adcoi ding to immemorial
custom, to certain purposes other than repair iiig the Abbey.
He made these statement at the request of the Demi of

Weotninster.
PREVENTIVE SERVICE.—Sir W. H. CRISPIGNEV
moved for a copy or the warrant to a man named Brook,
of the preveutitive service, on the Weymouth and Port-
land station, authorising them to search a married an-
man, &c. It was stated, that the search was made 111 all

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER shouhl
