moned the house to attend in the house of peers, to hear
the roil assent given by commission to sundry public ■nd
p►ieate bills. [See Lords.]
Mr. MANNING and Mr. DRUMMOND took the oaths

and their seats.
Petitions were presented from certain persons in Man-
chester, against the Manchester streets and market bdl.
Referred to the committee on the bill, and leave given to
the parties to he heard by counsel, if such were their wish.
Tux M 4GE CEIIIEMONY,--Mr. W. SMITH pre-
sented a petition from certain portions of his Majesty's
subjects, calling thenuelves Unitarian Dissenters, praying
to lie 'cheesed troth the performance of certain ceremonies
in the marriage contract at the altar, which they conceived
to violate their principles without advancing any good in-
terests. He should have bought this question forward
'Allier, but fur the pressure of public business; the re-
medy, however, was easy and short, and lie was prepared
to bring it forward now. The remedies were various:
portions of the ceremony might be omitted; and the read-
ing of that ceremony might be altogether waived, only
'victim the parties marrying to appear before the
mi-
nl•ter. tl gin lie should meet with any success,
lie vas ready to bring forward a bill this session.—The
petition was 1111.11 read. It was front various Unitarians
who assembled at 217, flight Wilms et.
1)r. PHILLIMONE lamented that he hail only just en-
tered the house. He knew not what plan taught be
tentemplated ; but if it wece proposed to do away with
the religions part of the ceremony, he should object to it.
lie had no objection to extending teller, such as was
given to the Quakers.
Mr. W. SSIITH replied, that so long as they obtained
bithstautial relief, lie was iudifferent about the mode.

Petition ordered to be printed.
RECEIVERS GENERAL Or TAXES, &c.—Mr. WHIT.

to inquire into the system adopted respecting Receivers

having mused that a previous order be discharged, which
was agreed to, mo►ed that there be laid before the house

crown, specifying them, the nett income, &c.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER spoken(
the difficulty that was in the way of making such atriums.
After sonic further observations, a series of accounts
were ordered to be sent to the clerk of the house.
Sir R. WILSON presented a petition against the new
poor telief bill from a township in Lancashire. It stated,
said the 11011. member, that the petitioners had heard with
astonishment that it could be said any where, that the
poor married from improvident and ineprincipled motives.
. Before 11011. members proceeded further, he hoped they
would look, during the holidays, at the production of a
learned, though nut a very serious divine. called a " Mo-
dest Proposal;" it was the prodoctiou of Dean Swift.
Mr. BROUGHAM lamented that there was still an
effort to excite clamour against this measure. It could
be productive of no good. He added, there was out of
doors held a most extraordinary doctrine on this subject ;
it was held that the poor hail a claim on the land, which
was to be satisfied in the first instance ; but against this
doctrine, and its injurious tendency, he must protest.
Colonel WOOD said the bill had not had fair play; he
hoped it would not be further delayed.
Sir J. GRA HAM spoke to the like effect, and said from
all he had hem d the opinions were generally in favour of
the bill.
Mr. MANSFIELD replied, that from all he could hear
the opinions respecting the bill were of a contrary charac-
ter—that they were decidedly against the bill.
sir R. HERON hoped that the measure would not be
pressed forward this session.
Mr. SCARLETT said, be never expected to have a
general approbation of the measure. He spoke of the
disproportionate amount of poor rates as between the lion.
nufacturing and the agricultural districts--the mauutec•
luring districts not being so heavily burdened as the agri-
cultural. Lancashire had expended r 20,0001. where
Simiex had been obliged to raise 210,1)001. He concluded
with contending that something must be done, and if it
were to be done at all with effect, it must be done soon.—
(Hear.)
Mr. CALCRAFT expressed his opinion against the bill,
observing, that lie had as numerous a set of corrpondents,
who were against the bill, as was possessed by the lion.
mover.

Petition ordered to lie on the table.
Sir R. WILSON moved, that the petition be printed.
In doing so, he said, the justification of his conduct in
radiug public attention to the bill was to be found in the
wish of the hon. member tior Carlisle to hurry the bill
through the house. The pour, it most be recollected, had
no voice in returning members to that house; they had no
means of checking the expenditure; and it this bill acre
passed, they might he exposed to new corn bills.
Mr. H. GURNEY said, that it had been einicavonred
to get the bill through the house, without its tieing no-
ticed. He strongly condemned the bill; to pass it, in his
estimation' would be the act of flagrant insanity. (Hear.)
Mr. 1110NiCK said, the most 4:fleeingl way of affording
relief to the poor would he gain a reduction of the bur-
den's now imposed On them.
After some remarks from Mr. J. Sebright, the petition

THE NATIONAL REGISTER

Mr. HEN NETT spoke of the way in which the house had
been nightly engaged by the business of government, leaving
very little time for the purposes or legiNkiiuu.
Loud LONDONDERRY said, that the evils might be
remedied, if the hon member for Coventry could be pre-
vailed on to abstain from pressing his motions after midnight;
and if the hon. member fur Aberdeen could be induced to
compress within it narrower compass his speeches and op.
posit inn.—(Hear, and a laugh.)
Mr. ABERCROMBIE hoped Ott bill would be postponed.
Mr. Sergeaut ONSLOW suid he was always desirous to
postpone his bill, When he first came into parliament he
brought in a bill in November, hut he wits unable to get it
read a third time until June. There was always something
" importiait" when he rose about his bill.—(A laugh.)—
tJuder all the circumstances he should pratpone his bill for the
present session—(Heer, hear.)—He therefore moved that
it he read a secoud time this day three mouths.—Agreed to.
Tug. throcizT.—.Mr. BROGDLN appeared at the bar,
with the report of the ways and means, containing the
budget.
Lord A. HAMILTON, before it was brought up, com-
plained of that. part of the excise ale and beer bill passed
this seal which regarded Scotland, Glasgow, &c. it so
seriously affected their trade that they saw no remedy but in
a suspeosson of the bill.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied,
that the bill was brought in befure Easter, so that there had
been time enough to consider it. It had not been smuggled
through the house i he was understood, however, to add,
that if there were tiny difficulties they would be considered
by the excise board and the government.
Mr. MAXWELL mid. he herd presented complaints to
the excise board of Scotland on this subject.
Mr. J. P. GRANT said, the amount of the government
explauation was, that the difficulties were to be removed by
the excise board—that such board was to express its opinion
of the doubtful provisions of an act of parliament.
Mr. MABERLY then rose to contrast the estimates of
last year with those of the present year. lle meat ioued the
difference between the estimates and the details, when the
sums came to be accounted fur; by which means there had
been obtained an excess last year of 587,0001. To remedy
this evil, he knew no better course than that of the house
rigidly determining to vote all the supplies before they
received the estimates of the budget. Otherwise there
would always be differences between the sums granted and
the sums actually expended—differences that could not be
watched properly, and regularly examined, with all the vi.
whence that inembens could exercise. (Hear, bear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained,
stating that there never bad been an instance where the
estimated receipts and expences had exactly corresponded.
He had only adopted the course which had hitherto received
the sanction of the house. But comparing the estimates of
last year with those of the preceding year there was an
excess on which be had not calculated before. But the
ractice of former years were not too rigidly adhered to ;
he the accounts they had approached u system of more regu-
larity than was observed in former years. As to his general
statement regarding our revenue, which he deemed it right
to make WI Friday night, lie had still further reason to
believe th..t lie should be found to be correct.
Mr. J. P. GRANT spoke of the state of our finances in
1816, as compared with their condition in 181,, and con-
tended that they were worse by upwards of 7,0001.
The report was then brought up and the resolutions
agreed to.

GAM TO Tile DUKE OF CLARENCE,-00 the rnOtiuo
of the Nlarrmis of LONDON DERRY, the house omit into
a committee un the communication from the Duke of
Clarence.
The Noble Marquis, after some observations on the con.
duct and situation of his Royal Highness as a husband and
father, and adverting to the resolution of the house of ISIS,
for granting to his Royal Highness 6,(X)01. a year, proposed
that that sum should slow be granted to him, together with
the 1111,0001. arrears fur three years. All the illustrious indi-
vidual desired, was to be placed in the same situation as his
royal brothers.
Mr. HUME objected to the grunt of 6,0001. The Duke of
Clarence already 11'11125004 thou his brothers, lle
a amid therefore propose to make the grant now 35001 s a
year, without any arrears.
Mr. HARBOR!) said be should propose 60001. a year,
without arrears,
After some further discussion, the committee divided on
this amendment. Fur the arnendinent.43—For the original
motion 119—Majority 76.
The house then went into a committee of supply.
After one or two items of the report were agreed to, Mr.
Arbuthiait moved that the chairman should report progress.
The hou a then resumed, and the report was ordered to
be received un Wednesday next.
Upon the order of the day for the third reading of the
coals dray% backs bill being read,
Mr. F. PALNIER moved that the house be counted; and
there lint being 40 members present, au adjournment took
place to Wednesday.

The Select Committee of the House of Commons.
appointed to take into consideration the existing
laws relating to vagrants, have made their report,
which has- just now been printed. They suggest
the expediency of revising and consolidating the
different acts upon vagrancy ; and for this purpose,
and various others connected with the subject, they
recommend the revival of the Committee in a future
session. In the mean time they have directed their
Chairman to move for leave :o bring in a bill for
amending the present laws relative to the apprehen-
sion, punishment and passing of vagrants.—Among
other suggestions it recommends that the passing of
vagrants to their places of settlement should be sus-
pended for one year from the Ist of September next.
A Bill according to the suggestion of the Committee
has been brought in by Mr. Chetwynd.
On Tuesday morning Messrs. Wooler, Edmunds,
