COUNTY comas.

On the motion of Lord A LTHORP, the House went into a
Committee on the County Courts

On the compensation clause—
Lord Aunt' ORT observed that this was highly objection-
able. No less than 35 persons bad now claimed this compensa-
tion, to an amount which would expose the country to an enor-
mous charge. sonic of the offices, it was urged, were pur-
chased ; but every man who purchased an office, purchased it
with the knowledge that it might be affected in value by
Parliament.
The noun then divided, when there appeared--
For the Clause - - 55
Against it - 49
Majority

After some conversation the other clauses were agreed to, end
the ihil passed through the Committee. The House having
resumed, the Itsport was ordered to ha received to-morrow.
The other l)rdera of the Day were disposed of, and the House
adjourned at ALr-PAST TWELVE.

Lord Charles Townsbend's name was omitted in the Mi-
nority on Lord Althorpe's Motion.

hip Mhjesty. The first contains some concessions
to the ninuufacturers of copper wire, pure, gift,
or silvered, who had petitioned for the privilege
of having in their manufactories the ;equislte
machines for drawing the copper into wire : their
petition is granted lii part, they being allowed
by this Ordinance to have machines of their own
for drawing certain sorts of wire on conditions
specified in the Ordinance, hut the manufacturers
of other kinds must still continue to take the
bars of silver or silver gilt to the Royal Esta-
Whitt-nen ts to he drawn.

The Second Ordinance relates to a Society of
Insurance against Hail, which is permitted to
begin its operations as soon as it has a fund of
3,300,000 francs ; by a preceding- Ordinance it
was to be six millions, but that was on the sup-
position that it would extend over 20 depart-
ments, whereas it at present only embraces 11
departments. The third Ordinance approves the
statutes of the Society, founded at Paris,in 1802,
for the envouraLfement of the national industry.
The Non-Otficial Part contains the debates in
