HOUSE OF LORDS.
MONDAY. MAY 3.
S:veral Petitions were presented for and kninst the Catholic
Claims, whets after souse further routine bu.aness, the House

TUrSDAY, MAY 4.
The Bishop of SALISBURY presented a Petition from the
Clergy of Bristol against the ;lonian Catholic Claims.—The Pe-
titinii was read. and laid on the Table.
The Earl of CARNARVON expressed a few okservations, con-
veying censure on the Clergy for their exertions to deprive the
Boman Catholic', of a participation in the privileges and advan-
tages o: the constitution. The Noble Earl adverted to what he
considered delic-icy on the part of the Clergy some years ago,
when they observed a dignified reserve on the subject of the
claims of Homan Catholic subjects, btu at the present day they
held a monoooly as it were, in the feeling of intolerance.
Lord KF:NYON said. after the remarks made by the Noble
Earl. the House might suppose the cause supported by the Clergy
if the established Church. was a question of toleration. It was
on the contrary. as the House well knew, a question whether
Parliament should give up the Test and Corporation Acts, with
ether laws. which hail been framed by the wisdom of our anees-
tots as bulwarks fur the Constitution. The Noble I.ord himself
curtails-red the Clergy rather tkan over ardent in their ex-
ertions. They were blond, as guardians of the established
shurch, to stand tot ward in defence of its institiation3, :Ind they
really did not appear SO anxious ou that subject as they ought to
be. The Noble Lord raid, he for one, should feel that the Clergy
would deserve censure if they did not act upon the principle the
Noble Earl appeared so much to deprecate.
The Duke of BEDFORD presented a Petition from Tavistock,
in ftvour of the Roman Catholic Claims.
The Earl of SIIArTESBU liv presented a Petition from Cul-
ehester, ag-.lust Concession with respect to the Laws Restrictive
eta the Malian Catholics.—Laid on the table.

BO W.STR EET.

LAMENTASLII CAStr-Onirriday Anne Pascoe and
'A la ry Herd, two interesting looking girls, not more than
lb years °rage, were brought before 11 Bernie, E.g. the
sitting Mazi&tsate, charged with embezzling it. ins. 64.
the property of a Mrs. James.
The prisoner, Pascoe, it appeared, was in the service
of the prosecotrix, and Herd occasionally worked for
her. On Thursday she sent Pascoe with some work
and a trill, for the sum mentioned, to tire bourse of
lady near Park-street. and she took Mrt. James's child,
about nine months old, with her. :She met Herd by
the way, and after a long absent., the latter came to
Mrs. James with the child. and a message from Pascoe
that she had beet, robbed or the money while looking at
a fight in Piccadilly. The prosecutrix desired Herd to
go back and fetch Pascoe. and she went away. but
neither of them returned. After a most anxious search
for several hours, she found the unhappy girls at a hen-
thel in the Almonry, I'e-street. Westminster. All
the money was gone.
Pascoe now said she met a girl of the town whom she
had formerly kuown, and was persuaded by her to go to
the house where her mistress found her. When she got
there she was taken into a root., and searched by other
girls, who took :row her evtry farthing of her mistress's
money.

F'us'e other prisoner said, Pavcoe sent her into the house
in Park-street lo recent the moue•, awl when she gave
it to her she said she did not mean to return to her mis-
tress, and persnaded her (third) to go Nuh her to the
house where they were found.
The father of Herd raid his daughter had always con-
ducted herself with pinpriety until she becatue ac-

the hours of labour ; and, 2dly, to restrict the weekly
earnings of the workmen to a sum nut exceeding from a
guinea t 0.245. a-wet k. This slily, it is supposed, would,
at the. advanced prices, be reitained by eight hours' la-
boor in a day ; and the supply or goods, the projectors
imagine, would, in consegoence, be reduced to a level

That she engagements of the Office have been so well

THE NEW PROPRIETOR

TO THE

,*EADERS of the NATIONAL REGISTER.

WITH a mingled sensation of Fear and Hope,
the new Proprietor of this Journal addresses him-
self, fur the first time, to his Readers. When he
considers the unfortunate situation of the late Pro-
prietor, he cannot contemplate, without some de-
gree of apprehension, the consequences which must
inevitably have resulted from that temporary inat-
tentian to the interests of the Journal, which such
a situation naturally produced; but when, on the
other hand, he remembers that, at no distant
rcrio4, the extensive circulation of the National
itegiA:r might fairly challenge a competition with
t!:at of the most favoured of its weekly competitors,
Le feels himself justified in expecting that, by re-
curring to the course which once secured general
approbation, it will speedily recover that high de•
gree of public estimation, which recent misfortunes
have, perhaps, partially suspended.
In publications of this nature, it has been so much
th; a ',coin to conciliate favour by liberal promises,
v..hich have not in all cases been faithfully per-
Camel, that the new Proprietor would hesitate to
pledge himself for any thing more than a diligent
attention to the conduct of the Paper, and an un.
wearied assiduity in supplying, from every authentic
source, those articles of general information, which
the public have a right to expect in a Weekly
Journal; but, nevertheless, be cannot forbear to
exprass a hope, that the faithful discharge of these
duties, aided by the impartial discussion of all po-
litical subjects, and a careful inyestiglition of every
o.nurrence which is likely to interest the public
mind or to engage its attention, will quickly re-
s xem the errors which have ensued from the unplea-
saot circumstances bef-'re alluded to, and restore
this Journal to its original reputation. To sustain
and to increase that reputation, the most strenuous
efforts of the new Proprietor will constantly be
directed; and if, fur this his first attempt, it shall be
thought that an apology is necessary, the candour
or his Readers will induce them to consider his in-
fancy as his best excuse, and to grant some indul-
gence to a Proprietor only three days old. If, by
that indulgence, he shall be nurtured to strength,
.nd reared to maturity, he ventures to hope, that
his ripened exertions may, in some degree, corn.
pensate the weakness of his adolescence; and that
the fruit which will have been produced by the
liberality of his Friends, will not be entirely un-
worthy of the generous care which they may bestow
on the germination of the seed, and on the expansion
sof the blossom.

In our paper of last week we were able simply
111 announce the fact of the great contest for West-
minster having just closed, by the return of Mr
Lamb to Parliament by a majority of 604. We
may now observe that the late struggle has been
Iliadic(' by precisely the saute features of popular
turbulence and excitement which took place in the
same city but one year ago, and which, input opiu-

The Learned Judge (Burton Morice, Esq.) in ad-
dressing Mr. Lumsden, said he was very hippy to
see so respectable a Gentleman appointed Attorney
Of the Court, and he begged to know what might
be the consideration he gave for the situation ?
Mr. Lumsden, after a suggestion as to the pro.
priety or necessity of his mentioning the sum, said
he gave two thousand pounds for the situation !
The Judge observed that be bad not made the en-
quiry out of curifrity, but it might occur (he would
not say it would in Mr. Lumsden's case) that when
an Attorney gave so large a sum for his situation,
he might consider himself justified in advancing his
fees, but those could neither be diminished nor in-
creased—diminished indeed they may be, if t'te At-
torney thought proper, but they could not be in.
creased, because there were established rules by
which the proceedings of the Attorneys and the
Court were governed.
Mr. Lumsden said, he was perfectly aware of the
jnstice of the remarks made by his Lordship. ' Ho
then took the usual affidavits, and was afterwards
pronounced by the Judge to be an Attorney of the
Court.

any report of the proceedings. but shall ce..leavoiir in our
next to furnish our readers with a correct statement of
what took place. The subject is a highly important one
to this county, which pays so large a share of the tax laid
on this necessary of life. The amount of ditties paid at
the different ports of Norfolk was last year as under :
Lynn £36,106 4 011
Yarmouth '24,781 16 8

Blakeney aad Cley 3,160 0 4

£67,6121#10

'this is nearly one twelfth part of the whole amount of
tax Great Britain. on coals carried coastwise. So
unequal a distribution of taxation deserves the serious at-
tention of those who suffer front it. We should advise an
application for a repeal of the duty, in pref. rence to an
equally.a:ion of it.—The amount paid by Not folk joist helps
