The Report was then read, with the amendmeuts.
The Bill was ordered to be read the third time as
soon as it could be eugromed.
Tice Keeper of the New Prison of Clerkeowell
brought up certain returns relating to that (eats.
blishatent, ordered by the House in December
Inst.—Ordered to lie on the table.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF IttIPPLIES.
The CIIATICIII.I.uIt of the Exctiteuxt moved
the Order of the Day fur reading the Report of the
Committee of Supplies.—lt was read accordingly.
The following suns, were granted :
Two minima to pay the ualstandieg Irish Exchequer
bills out before provided fur.
Three milliouo to limy off the Irish Treasury hills not be-
fore provided for.
Twenty thousand posed' to pay off all expesees of a civil
Ware, which formed wrest of the charges u the Civil
Liar.
Two bemired tbieiwal peon& to satisfy all pewit..s
which may beams duo before the next meeting of Parlia-
ment, which would biro been payable sot at the Cumuli-
dated Food bat for the demise of the Crown.
Mr. 'PURIM wphcd to ask a question or two as
to the expiring pension granted to the Princess of
Wales. Ile wished to know, in the first place,
what allowance she was iu future to receive, and out
of what funds it was to be paid ?
The Caittati,Loa of the Excuravez said, that
if the demise al the Crown had lint taken place, the
allowance in question would have come out of the
Consolidated Fund, as usual. The grant just vot-
ed was to make good all such allowances, and he
could see nu melon why the allowance in question
should not be paid now io the same way as before.
Mr. Murat' said, that there was now nu such
person to receive it, as her to whom it was ori-
givally granted. He denied that Ministers had
any power ao pay allowances out of the Conso-
lidated Fund except under the very terms and
conditions in which such allowances were voted
by the House. The allowance in question had been
granted to the Prince., of Wale. during the life of
the King, to enable her to maintain her style and
dignity as Princess of Wales. Hut there was stow
no such person. The title of Princess of Wales
was for the present extinct. And if the Right
Honourable Gentleman paid away a single shilling
of the public money under the title of an allowance
to the Princess of .Wake, he would commit s gross
offince against the House' of Commons.
The CRANcELLoit of the EXCHEQUER said,
that the Right WU. Gentleman ought to know,
that in ordinary cases no alteration of the title of
any individual could of itself alter the right of such
individual to any property to which they might
be otherwise entitled. In the case in question, the
individual was not extinct, though her title might
be altered. He thought that, as it would have
Imppened in crises of any (ult.r kind of property,
that person might, with peace propriety, continue
to receive•the allowance.
Mr. TIERNEY said, that the money was granted
expressly because she was Princess of Wale., and
to enable her to support her rook as Princess of
IVales with becoming splendour.
The CHANCEI.LOE of the EXCIIEWJES made
some observation from his seat, to which
Mr. Trcesine replied, that he knew very well
the Right Hou. Gentleman could say no more.
lie was not at ell Aurprised et *e *Mashy in
which the Right Hon. Gentlemen found himself.
He was perfectly aware that the Right lion. Getl.
Vernal, meet net, on any account, pronounce the
word Queen, though what else the person iW quia-
fiats could be called, must be most perpfixing to
the Right Hon. tigatlgpau ma well as the rest of
the House. The motley, however, was granted to
enable the Princess of Wales to support the dig. -

LOCAL JURISDICTION BILL.
Mr..4komaomay snowed the Order of the D..y.
for the third reading of the Local Jurisdictions
Bull; which was read a third time, and purled.
COLONIAL ACCOUNTS.
Mr. Hymn rose so complain of the delay which
had taken place in furnishing certain accounts
moved for by him in the mouth of Jane last, rely-
live to the islands of Ceylon, the Mauritius. and
other places, which hsd as yet been only partially
furnished. although nine months or more had ta
the mean time elapsed. The Commiloioners whO
were appointed to superintend the affairs of the Co-
lonies in question, received at !elm 1.0001. a year ;
sa►d though they were ordered to be paid by the
Colonies, yet, u all the deficiencies of those Co..
tomes were made good by the Treasury, the sala-
ries were in reality a weight upon the country; he
therefore moved for an acconut of the expenses of
auditing the Accounts of the Colonies itr questioc,
distinguishing those of each Colony.

EXPIRING LAWS BILL.
The aixricui.xon of the Excutuusa moved
the order of the day for the House going into a
Committee of the whole House on the Expiring
Laws Bill.

Lord A Lomoar had some reasons which he wished
to state to the House for inducing them to leave out
of the provisions of the Bill the clause relating to
the Insolvent Debtors' Bill. Every person who
knew any thing about the opinions of the trading
parts of the community must be aware how per-
fectly they were dissatisfied with the expiring In.
solreut Law. He himself could feel satisfied
to let the matter rest where it did for the pre-
sent, at least ; bat he could not make up ,his
mind to this when he observed how general was the:
dissatisfaction felt ou this subject by persona en-
gaged in trade. It would be hardly necessary fur
him to state all the reasons for this di.sati.fmetion,
or enter minutely into any of the particular causer;
Every body must me that the difficulty of entering
into an eitamivation of the accounts, and rerun-
nizieig the conduct of every debtor, was a work of
too much toil even to be surmounted. Few cre-
ditors would on the average have ability or in.
clinatiou to follow up * deleter through all the
stages of such itivestigations. The expenses were
another objection in addition to the inconven:-
vice. A debtor could now remove himself by
Habeas Corpus from the neighbourhood of his
creditor, and put it out of that ordinate's
power to follow and oppose him, let Isis conduct
bare been ever so objectionable. It had been ad.
mitten within doors and without that the law re.
(paired alteration. Why then continue an objet.
tionable measure, when every one was cm:taming
against its impropriety ? Why prolong an evil, ge-
nerally acknowledged to be so, for a single day?
He could not admit the validity of the arguments
offered for its further duration, not even that of
the Casio Bowman. The law as it stood wait
acknowledged to be unjust and injurious. .How
much better it would be for the House, before,
they dissolved, to remove the dissati.faction so
strongly expressed on this subject, loan to continue
it in force when its manifest defect* could nut pos-
sibly be Liken into dtliberatiou. The ll.nise
ought to shew that although they had admitted the
principle of the Bill to be correct, and pisited.the
Act with a view to estabhshing it, Ifflt that they
were unwilling to subject the people to such ti en.
sive inconvenience and fried as they were then in•
danger of suffering. .11le lismaelf thought that
debtors themselves, though they would certeitaly
be subjected to the chalice of • longer durAtpta of
their imprisonment. would upon the whule find
themselves much better off by having to 'evert to.
the old system, which reguhtted the rpisiire
rests of debtor and creditor. He concluded by
moving, thylon iostroation aboold be given, to tfor
