COLL) BATH FIELDS.

Mr. Sinai:MAN held in his hand a Petition similar
to that which be had 'yesterday withdrawn, in de-
ference to what seemed to be the sense of the Hou;e.
Yet though he had given .way he could not help
thinking that there was no sufficient reason for re-
fusing to receive the Petition.. The doors of Podia-
meat ought to be thrown open as wide as possible,
for the reception of the Petitions of the Subjed re-
presenting his grievances, and if a Petition was to
be rejetted Merely because at the moment of 'pre-
senting it the Petitioners were not in the precise
sitoation in which they described themselves to be,
merely because they did • not designate themselves
properly, that designation being wholly immaterial
to the stabjeci of their Petition, it would give rather
an unfavourable impression as to the disposition
which it. was proper that Parliament should be known
to have to atteod•to all just complaints, The Peti-
tioners were, in part, • Grand Jurors of the County
of Middlesex on the day on which the Petition was
signed, the ad of. November last, but hn that day
they ceased to be so. The present Petition was
from the Foreman of that Grand Jury, Mr. Stephens,
in his iodividual. capacity. He WiSllthl to knotv,
irowever, whether he may nor, this day, again offer
to the sense of the Bouse the Petition which he had
withdrawn yesterday.
The SPEARnit r recommended to the Hon. Mem-
ber to acquiesce in the sense of the House expressed
yesterday, as to the impropriety of admitting that
Petition.

Mr: SIIIMIDAN submitted, but be declared he
would never again acquiesce in what hu felt to be
wrong (a /angh).—Mr. SHERIDAN then presented
the Petition of Alexander Stephens; Esq. stating, in
nearly the same words as the Petition the substance
of which we gave in our Report ef• yesterday, the
abuses discovered by the visit of Mr. Stephens, and
other MeMbers of the late Grand Jury of the Coun-
ty of Middlesex, in their visit to Coldbath-tields
Prison. The most, striking of these grieVancei was,
the deficiency of the weights used for measuring the
provisions, by means of which -the Prisoners were
defrauded of one eighth of their proper allowance..--
Mr. SBERIDAN, in moving that the Petition should
lie on the table, felt it unnecessary to recortimend it
to that attention which he was sure his Majesty's
Minister's Would be disposed voluntarily to pay to it.
But he begged more particularly to recall to the re-
colleaion of those Gentlemen the Report of the
Committee of the Houk of Commons; in the-year
1800. The fads and 'snggestiOnS contained in that
Report were yerunapplied in. the way -of retbrrna-
tkm or relief.

The CHANCELI.OII ofthe EXCJIMUER contended,
that the frouse could not with propriety have re-
ceived the Petition of last night, on account of the
Petitioners presenting theme elves under a designa-
tion which did•not properly belong to them. if the
House were once to admit the principle of Peti•

entitled, Waa impossible to say what abusbs May

farm, ha woulenow relate the House what bad
passed between him and the
.Gentlethan who
had represented 'to him the matter contained in the
Petition ettered to the consideration of the House',
He told that Gentlemae, that if he would give hitii
ihe faas, in an. official form, he Would lay Ahem
fore the Secretary of State for the Home Depart,.
ment, with the strongest recommendation which be
Could give, though he was sure no recommendation
would be required to.call thp attention of that Noble
Person to a case of such a nature, coming in a pro-7
per authenticated and tangible shape. The com-
nmnication was,' in fa6t, made to his Noble Friend
but it came in an unbfficial form, marked :frivate,
and beconld 'net. feel himself warranted in taking
any public step upon it, not holding himself at libel ty
to mention the name, or to designate the sonrce from
which he had derived his information. He saw no
necessity in presenting this Petition, unless it were
with a view to iusinbate that
.his Majestfs Ministers
were inclined to negleet what they were in faa per-
fe6ily disposed to do,. if they were Supplied with
proper materials to Proceed upon.
Mr, Secretary CANNING stated, that he also had
had a Letter upon this subjefl, which he had tristis..
mitted tO his Noble Friend) the Secretary for the
Home Department,'
Mr. SHEAtIAN wished to know the distinOion
'taken in "this case between an official':and unofficial
foem or\comnuinieation. The individuals' concei n-
ed could Make the communication, as it .appeared
from all that had bee.n said, only as private persons.
. The CEIANCEVLOA of the Excneiaunit said, that
when a commo.nication Was marked 'private, no dis-
closure could with -propriety be made of its ctintents,
nor of the name of author, nor could it ally
way be •used as.a public document. •
Mr. SUERIDAN said there must have been some
mistake on this head, as such privacy could never
have been intended by those who put themselves sb
publicly tbrward, in this and in other placei, to cer
met the grievance. %,
Mr.°Mat.ttsit said a feik, words in Vindication of
Mr. Maiuwaring, who had, in conformity with. his
duty, referred this matter to the Magistrates.

l'he Petition -,v2; ordered to lie oitlie table.
IRISH hll LITIA.

. Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose to move for several
Accounts tending to show the hardships suffered by
the People of Ireland under the late Ad for a:low-
ing the Militia of Ireland to volunteer into the Line,
and for filling utethe vacancies thus creeted in the,
Militia. There were many contradi&ory clauses in
these A&s, One clause limited the. bounty to tour
guineas ; and another allowed 14, :15, and-16 gui-
neas, to be given to substitutes, though between a
volunteer and a substitute there was no differerence
whatsoever. The hardship to which he wished par-
ticularly to call the attention of the House was, that
while an accruable tax was imposed to create a fund
for raising sabstituteS, many parishes from which that
tax had beet:et:4loll:d had been afterwards itebjeaed-
to the ballot, and obliged to furnish personal service.
The Hon. Baronet commented on the impropriety
of taxing the tenant instead of the landlord, and au
the injustice of absentee ..exemptlons. The lists
used to regulate the quotas ,of parishes Were, itt
many places, those made out is 1793 and flea, and
were consequently inaccurate and unfeir. He
thought „where money had been collee4:ted and the -
ballot enforced, at least the .money ought to he ree
funded. He moved first, that there be laid before
the House Copies of all Letters from the Lord Lieu-
tenant and Council.of Ireland, tinier the 47th Geo.
dire&ing tali eaising of men, either by enroll-
ment or by ballot, to complete the Militia.
Sir ARTHUR •WELLESLEY staid, that as it
was not his ,intention- to oppose the .production of
ties Papc'es the Right Hon. Baronet had moved far,.
he should not now have trembled the HOose with,
any Observations, if it had not been'for,wiiat had
fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. respeaing the
manner in which the Ad for raising the Militia iu
Ireland had been carried itito extecutiee, He did
not mean to enter at present into any diicussion►
upon the provisions of the Alt of last Session ; and
he thought it would have been more prOper, and
more consistent with Parliamentary usage, if the
Right Hon, Baronet had stated his objediotia to the
Militia till when it was In its progress through that
House, and when those objeaions would have re-
ceived all the ettentioe which was due to them, in-
stead of coining in a subsequent year; and objeding
to the Clauses of the A 3, as unjust and contradiChe-
ey. With respell to the manner in which the Aet
had been carried into execution, and the :Militia •
raised, the Noble Duke at the head of the Govern.;
Men: .in Ireland had exercised the powers vested ta
him by the Act of Parliament to attain objeea of
that Mit, in the manner the most agreeable to the
feelings of the people: Undoubtedly that was his
wish ,upon the subject, because ha.knew that. a Mi-
litia could not be etfedually raised in. Ireland without
tins hearty co-operation of. the Gentlemen, of that
Country; and ho had flattered himself that the
mode pursued had met with general -aporobation, as
no representations had been made to him to the
Contrary. The Lord Lieutenant was enabled, by the
,A6t et last year, tecall upon the differvot Ceeuties.
to raise the necessary number of`' men; eitheleby
ballot or by Volunteers. If the men were to be
raised by ballot, then he balloting was to proceed
accordiug to the forms.direeled ill the Militia Acts;
if by Volunteers, they were to be raised in the
Mode . prescribed for • ILA purpose. Another
mode Of proceeding which had been adopted was,
to enable the Governors .and Deptity Governors of
Couotiee to make an allotment of the mete to he
raised in thedifferent distrida, giving the eiewer to
the districts to raise a sufficient sum to pay ler sute-
stitutee. La if the money raised was • not ens ugh
to procure the utenber of men reqeired, then it
came necessary to have recourse to the ballot. In-
deed it, would have been impossible to have taised
the number of men required by the MI, whieb wee'
gOon men, in the space of tour tneariths, without
having recourse to the bellot. The Right Nee.
Barenet,seerned to thitik there Wes an absurdite-e
the Acte With resped to diffeeelt bowies . wh4 ti
were to be given. The bounty which the Ate
scribed to Volunteers was four guinease but it the
Militia could not be raised be Yohintcera, in the
manner that rnet.r. were recruited-for the Line, and
it became necessary for the .4; •')
...settees to raise tze.oney

Mr. Pot,zsorwit
_acquiescing, the Motion in its

Of-the United States of North America in the rigo-

Mr. WizTAIITON brought up the Reports of •the
Unclaimed Dividends Bill, the Petty Custpnas'Bill;
and the Bank Loan Bill, all of which
,were,agreed
.to, and the Bills were ordered to be read a third
time to-morrow.

The CHANcIiI.LOII -of the EXCBEUVER gave po-
tice, that on Monday he. would move for leave to.
bring in a Bill to prohibit the Exportation of. Cot-
too Ai;d ;
Bark
as hp had been told by those who
were best Informed on the subject, that the total
prixhibit ion of 'the exportation of those articles would
be more acceptable to America tiran to allow them
to continue to be exported under optiressive regula-
tions. . He should therefore postpone his.stateuient
on those subjetts in the Committee of Ways and
Means till Monday.
On the Motion, of, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
citmug-It,, the House resolved itself into a Com-
mittee, of Ways and Means, Mr. WHARTON. in the,
Chair,. , =

The CIh4NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
prop6sed,to lay the'same duty on the exportation froM
this country of cotton wool-, the produce 'of Bri-
:tish. Colonies, as now existed on the exportation from
Allis country of cotton • wool, the' produc e of any
other part of the world. His object in proposing
this was,: notior the purpose of raking 4 revenue,
but itieffeet a prohibition in the 'enly way it could;:
be effe6ted. He had therefore calculated the duty,
so as to be just under the amount of the insurance
,which trierehants would pay for the risk, lithe article
were prohibited. He therefore moved,. "That to-
wards raising the Supply
_granted to his. Majesty,
therehe laid on every Pound of'Cotten Wool ex-,
ported from this Country; being the Produce of Bri-
tish Colonies; 'the duty of ninepence." The article
of Salt was in great demand in the North of Europe,
were it could not be dispensed the mea-
sure of the Enemy theexportation from this Coon-
try.would be increased, rather than obstruded, for
those measures'eropowered the Country, by the.law
of tetaliation, to prevent the Continent troni getting
salt9uy where but from Great Britain. He there-!
fore:moved, " that towards raising the Supply grant-.
ed to his Miijesty, there be laid on the exportation
of all salt to the Continent of Europe, a duty of
Jiine-pence per bushel and on the exportation of all
salt to distant parts,of the world (with the exception
'of Briti'sh Colonies), a clUty of three-pence per bushel.
A conversation ensued, in which Mr.'PoNsoturit
and Lord 1.-lET4EY PETTY disputed the 'expediency of
these propositions. The CHAriiCELLUE' of the Ex.-
cumwea and Mr. Husxissorl maintained the expe-
diency of them.; Qn the latter proposition Mr. Dit'-
VIVINPoRT and Gen. GAsCinoNE recommended' ou-
trun and deliberation. Mr. Bnal.rO. was tippreheri-
sive that these duties on salt would ad as proteding
duties .on the salt of American manutaaure„ and that
when we had once lost the market--for that article,
'we shoUldleJloahle to regain it.,
In answer , to a:question from Lord HENRY PET-
TY, the CHAHCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER stated
that be Meant the duty also to apply to file exporta-
timd salt from the. Bahamas to America:

The ileseliktions were then agreed to, an'd the
Ileuseiniving been resumed, the report was-order-

'The ellithCEL. LOR .or the EXCHEQOER
stated, -that inconsequence of an amendment which
he intended to introduce into the Orders in Council
.Bill, he should propose that the Bill should that
night,go through a Committee, pro forma • that the
report :should be received on Monday, and that
Tuesday a re-commitment should take place, when
the, Bill might be discussed. The principle of the
alteration Was 'this, to introduce Clauses to limit the
operation of the 8111, by rendering the duties itn-
posed by it applicable to articles-imported in such
vessels only as sailed from their own ports, after they
had received notice; of the measure. On, his mov-
ing, that the Spcakvr dotleave the Chair,
Mr. PONSONBY expressed his satisfaaion that
the Bight HO. Gentleman had changed his opinion
on the subject since three o'clock on that Morning.
His objection; however,. to the prineiple of the Bill
was so strong, ' that he could not allow the Speaker
to leaVe the Chair without taking the sense of the
House upon it.'
A short conversation ensued, in which the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EU:HM.ImA, Mr.' PoNSONDY.,' Mr.
BaAND, GtmiY, and Mr. H. MARTtir,
pac-
ticip It wag answered tly the Ministerial side of
'the, House,_ that the Gentlemen opposite wished to
obtain an unfair advantage, by pressing the question

late Soprano Singer -at the Opera•hoinie,, to rechver
of the Detendant the sum,of thirty goineas,,he har
ing.engaged him to sing three nights at the Marchici-
oess of Ltertforct's Concerti.

Mr. O,“tRoW, in stating the case to the Jury, said,
that .he understoud;the Chevalier La cainea,: Who.
had enWtged thePi'aintitf to sing at the MarchiOncis
of'flertiord's.Concerts, did not 'mean to dispute his
hability, but r,only ,objeetect to 'the sum charged;
nainely, tel a u ht. He had accordingly
paid :at the rate. of five guineas night into C6tirt,
and tilt*: only Oustion for the Jury to decide was,
whether the Plaintiff, who 'had been -a first rate
singer af the Opera-house, was entitled to the larger
or smaller sum. In estimating that, the July would
recollect that the Plaintiff had a very particular voiee,
and" was the only man of his description in the coon,
try. It might therefore be. niatttr of 'curiosity, as
well as pleasure, to have such a performer:- It -was
also said, that the Plaintiff Was only employed in
taking a part in a trid,'or a-Auartetto, And that' be
bad no sole, songs given to He should reply,
that his pretensions were noflessened by that means;
and if the Chevalier chose to sing all the solos hitii-
se)l,..tl;e ,Plaintiti was not to have his fair demand.
cut down for what was no fault of his.

Sir Wm. Parsons, and Signors Naldi and Righi
were called into the. ixm, who all agreed that the
Plaintiff, from his eminence as a singer, was,ernitled
to ten, guipeas a night:. Signor Naldi, on Ewing
asked ‘l,l4ler bitigers were nut well pa id, at
five guineag a,night,:replied---!‘ that lean angel was
to come down from. 1.-I,eaven to s;ng in a chorus, he
would not be worth that; sum:"

that the Plaintiff was pot engvoed as a a:1-,i.-rate
singer, and that lie was' well paid r for v:11,:t lie, had
done if he received five guineas a 'sin sup-
port of this, Signor Sinotti and many other wthdcal
people were called, who thought five guineas a Jligh,
quite-sufficient, for any assistance the Plaintiff
afford to a concert. • Some of these went sOlar•as
to sal, that they would rather give five, guineas to
keep him away, than to purchase his. exertions.
The Judge left the Jury to decide this important
question, who tound a veidid for the Plaintiff,
.to the• full amount of his demand, namely, -thirty
guineas..
