THE Report of the Committee on the Downing
College Bill was brought up, and agreed to, and
the. Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. VANSITTART brought up the Report of the
Committee on the Salt. Duties, which was read, or-
dered to lie on the Table, and to be painted.
Lord SHEFFIELD moved, that a new Writ \be
issued for the Election of a Member to serve in Par-
liament for the County of Sussex, in the room of
the Hon. THo. PELHAM, who has been called to the
House of Peers, by the name and title of Baron
PELHAM.

UTi. Attnirr ninved, that_ a new Writ be issued
for the Eta. lion of a Member to serve in Parliament
for the Borough of Carlow,- in Ireland, in the room
of the Hon. HENRY PRETTY, who has accepted
the Office of Escheator of Munster.
The House resolved itself into a Committee on
Hayes's Divorce Bill. Mr: ADAM was heard as

established.

The Report was .received, and the Bill read a
third time and passed.
A Message from the Lords intimated, that their
Lordships had agreed to the Irish Copy-right Bill,
with an Amendment, in which they desired the
concurrence, of the House, and to three private Bills.
The House took into consideration the above
Amendment of.the Lords, agreed to it, and sent

that it had agreed to. their Amendment.

ships' consent to .the ConsOlidation-Inclosure Bill,

The House afterwards agreed to the Amendment,
and sent back the Bill to the Lords.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
rose to make the Motions which he had made an-
nually for seve-al years past, and he hoped that they
would meet with the unanimous approbation of the
House. The first which he had to make was, That
an humble Address be presented to His MAJESTY,
that he will be graciously Fleased to confer some
dignity in the Church, on the Rev. JOHN BARTON,
Chaplain to the House.

This Motion was put and agreed to unanimously.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
before making his second Motion, expressed a hope
that it also would pass unanimously, because he con-
ceived that every Gentleman in the House would
gree with him in thinking, that the ,manner in
which his Hon. Friend, the Chairman of the Com.
fnittee of Ways and Means, has performed his labo-
rious and important duties, could not receive too
high marks of approbation, or Meet with too great
rewi.rd, from the, House. He then moved, that
an humble Address 'be presented to His MAJESTY,
that he will be griaciously pleased to order the Muni
of 1,2001. to be issued from the txchequer to. C.
131 t Act I, Esq. Chairman of the Commit tee of Supply,
and Ways and Me',ms, in reward for his 'services in"
that Office, during the present:Session, and to as-
sure His MAJESTY that the House will make good
the same.
Mr. CORRY did not know whether the sum
now proposed was the same that was voted to the
same enticman in preceding
.Sessioni, but he
thought that he should not discharge his duty, nor
rio justice to that Hon. Gentlenian, if he did not
take the present opportunity of expressing, on his
cisvn part, and on that of the Country of Ireland,
the sincere testimony of esteem and gratitude, which
lie, and that Country unist;equally feel for the atten_
Lion which that am. cr..ntleinan has paid to its in-
erests, and for the admirable manner in which he
Jas discharged the new dtities the recent
event of the Union of the Legislatures of Great Bri,
taip Prl4 Ireland, has imposed on him. He 41d not
;mean to inquire whether the additional 14bpur whio
014 cYc9F 145.4PpcMg4 p bi 44 -re1446 any VTLP

sum to be noted to him than 'that no,w proptsed.'
He only wished. to give his testimony in favour of
the manner in -which these duties have been dis..
Charged.
4ThelVlorron was then put and agreed to unani-
mously.
The CHACFLLORic of the EiCHEQUER then
severally moved, " That an Humble Address he
presented to His MAJEsrY, that .he wilt be
graciously pleased to order.such a sum ;of money to
be issued to JEREMIAH DYSON, Esti. Clerk Assist-
ant to th`e house, as together, with 'the fees of his

• All these Motions were severally_ put and agreed
to unanimously. •

r
Mr. BRACGE brought up the Re pt:: of the Com-
mittee, on the general Standing Orders of the House.

The Resolutions of the Committee were read,
agreed to, ordered to be thenceforth Standing Or-
ders of the-House, and to be printed.
-Mr. BR AGG E brought up the Report of the Com-
mittee on the Standing Orders.of the House relative
to Inclosurcs, which was also read and agreed to.
Lord SHEFFIELD said, the Country is much
'indebted to his Hon. Friend, for the ,attention he
had paid to the Standing Orders, •and• to the Aft
which had just passed relative to Inclosures.' . They
may be of use, particularly in .saving some- expence
in respeft to Witnesses ; but they are utterly ina-
dequate to the exigency, and the Country will be
much disappointed, and, .in his opinion,. with rea-
son dissatisfied, if it should be supposed this
is all that is intended to be. done.: He said, the
Country had suffered extremely; particularly the
two last years, frOm- something more serious than
mere apprehensions of famine. A scarcity of Grain
had raised the price in this and in other Countries
with which we trade so high, as would have, been
prohibitory. of the use of it to a great-proportion of
the, Community, unless we had yielded to. the: dan.
gerous policy of feeding the 'people at-the- public ex-
pence. • _ _

I- Toalleviate the distress, in the course of two
years we haVe enaaed that the Peopleshould eat
stale Bread, and we have granted Proteaing Duties
which may bring here the iimited.quantity that-can
be had from other Countries, and we have thus rais,
ed the price abroad so high, that the present pro-
teaing Bounties Will not.
-indemnify the Importer;
particularly from America. To,obViate the recur-
rence of such . distress, the Country loudly called
for. a General Inclosure . and Cultivation 'Of the
Waste Lands as a certain and only sure relief; and
in answer to their prayers we have just passed-an
Act which, it was obvious to every -person who un-
dersood the subje6t, could do very little indeed to-
wards the attainment of the object in question.—
He observed, there was a disposition to do every
thing that can ' be done • for. the relief of
the Country, which is checked by •an appre.
pension that certain persons in another place,
that even an individual,. would Obstrua. It was
ommon to say, that no essential measure .must be
attempted ; that we should endeavour to get a little
at a time, an by attempting more the whole mea-
sure will be lost ; he should observe, that in the
mean time the Country might starve and be ruined ;
that he should ever reprobate such language, and
that we Should be unworthy our situation in that
,House, if eve should thus 'oe prevented from bringing
. forward Measures which- may save the Country-
from Famine and Bankruptcy. If we should not
succeed, the People will be satisfied wellad done
our duty, and the public d'issatisfaftion would fall
only on those whose ill-founded opinions and
views, whatever they may be, counteract the public
welfare : he observed, we must not be deterred
from attempting to relieve the Country by high
stranding phrases, that a CoMmutation for-Tithe in
14iiirl would 'sap the foundation of all property :
those to whom that kind of argument is addres;ed,
must he imogined very ignorant and very weak
it seems to st),Hse that Modtises,, which are mere
Commutations for Tithe had not existed for mink.
• • ? •
centuries in this Coontry ; it seems to pass over
the circumstance that the greater part of the Acs
of Inclosure do the . very thing, and allot land for
Tithes.--4-le added, that the distress of the Country :
has been and is great, he therefi)re ha,l much
pleasure in learning,- that several Gentlemen had the
intention of bringing forward some measure on the
cubjeet: it afford 4 him great satisfaaio-., thin!;..
in 4 as he diti, that it w9uldotheFwi*bc i9ctiLubct4

on him to offer some measure to parliament. He
flattered himself His Majesty's Ministers would
bring farwiiici some great measure; he knew they
-had not tegleded that great, subjel, and that they
would fairly consider the dangerous. consequence
:of depending on. other Countries for subsistence ;
the Uncertainty of it, and the ruinous expence,
if we could-obtain the quantity of Grain we want-
. ed ; .they will find that on an average of the last ten
years, we hid paid 3,300,0061. annually to Foreign
Countries for Grain, arid in ,the last year, namely,
i 800, we have paid upwards of Ten Millions Six
Hundred and Forty-nine. Thousand Pounds, which
is more than double the heretofore boasted balance
of Trade in our favour. He concluded by saying
he should not then trouble the. House farther than
by :movin4, " That in all Bills for the inclosing
or improving any waste or uncultivated Lands, there
be inserted a Clause, empowering and direding the
Commissioners, to mark out or award- unto the
Tithe Owner, an allotment of such waste and un-
cultivated Lands to be once ring-fenced by the Pro-
prietors of the adjoining allotments thereof, in lieu
of all Tithes to arise from all such waste and an_
cultivated Lands." He observed, this merely related
to Land that had never paid any Tithe ; and. that
he knew the Cultivation of large Trads was pre-
-vented in consequence of the difficulties which arose
with respect to the Tithes.
Mr. BR4GGE thought, that such a Motion as
that now made by the Noble Lord would have been
more fitly made at the beginning than at the close
of a Session. He agreed perfectly with the Noble
,Lord,'in thinking that every means should be used
for facilitating,the passing of Inelosure Bills, and
hewas happy to be able to state, that a much
greater number (no less than 12 i) of such Bills have
passed this Session than in any former one. The
greatest number of Inclosure Bills that ever passed
before in any Session was eighty-seven ; this. num-
ber passed in 1797. .Last year only, eighty-one
were passed. This circumstance would perhaps be
consolatory to the Country. , Whatever might be
his-opinion of the measure. proposed by 'the Noble
Lord, he could not at . the present- stage. of the Ses-
sion, and in consideilation-that it had already:under-
gone full discussion and been rejefted, give his sup-
port to it.
No person seconding the Motion, it was not put.
Mr: VANSITTART moved, " That the ['louse, at
its rising, 'shall adjourn to Thursday next.''
The Honse immediately (at six o'clock) adjourn-
ed till Thursday.
