HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPBAXER went to the Lords, to hear the
Royal Assent given by Commission to. several pub-
lic and private Bills, the titles of which will be
found in the proreeding,s-of the other House.
The Pauper Lunatic Bill was read athird time
and passed. •

Oit the question that the Wine Duty Bill be
read a third time,

Mr.•AldernianSMlTH expressed his fears that
the measure would not he found productive, inas-
much as the consumption would be greatly lessen-
ed. If the consumption were lessened, to that
extent would the export of our 'l)=lllam:rules be
-dialinished, which were now.. sent to Portugal fur
wine, and admi!ted at the low duty of 15 per cent,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER coHld not
think of abandoning the Bill, on the contrary,
Ise deemed it expedient ; and he doubted whether
other theasnref, by• way of prohibitory duties,
would not be required, in order to counteract the
injurious- monopoly of the export of wine at pre-
sent existing in Portugal. He agreed to post-
pone the tilled reading of the Bill until Tuesday
Se'meight.

The Report of the Committee of Ways and
'A ears, of Supply, and on Tobacco, were brought
up, and Bills oriiered to be brought in.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid upon
the table the Accounts of the Army Extraordi-
na'ries up to January, 1815 ; and, to a question
froin Mr. TIEcNEY, replied, that there wotkld be
no objection to produce them to a later period as
boon as they pould be made out.

LORD COCHRANE.
RosE, 'nought up the Report of the Com-
utittee of Pli%ileges upon the arras: of Lord
Cochrane. It was read,.and after setting forth
the letter of the Marshal of the Icing's Bench
Prison to the Speaker, and the tact of the COM -

nit Went of Lott! Cochrane, under sentence •of
Court of King's Bench, it proceeded to state
/that his Lordship had made his escape from con-
finement between the sth and 10th March, and
was-arrested in the House by Mr. 'Jones the Mar-
shal, and his officers, on the 2lst instant. On-
entering the House his Lordship was informed
that he could not be allowed to stay there until a
return of his .election. was obtained from the
Crown Office, which his Lordship sent -for, and
sat down upon the Privy Councillor's Bench, no
other Member being at that time in the House.
The Report then stated the return of his Lord-
ship to serve for the city of Westminster on the
I:ith July last, and the question for the Com-
mittee to decide whether the Marshal :had been
guilty of a breach of the privileges of the Hou'se
in tortkiug the arrest of hi? Lordship under the
fac'ts set forth. After deliberating upon a matter
of such importance, upon which they regretted
tO say that there was no precedent in the books,
but was entirely novel, they had concurred in re-
porting, that under the particular circumstances
it did not appear to the Committee that the privi-
leges of Parliament had been violated so as to-call
for the interposition of the House- by any pro-
ceeding against the Marshal.of the King's•geoch.
It Was ordered that the Report should be printed.
Mr. LOCK If ART, after a few remarks upon the I
kujmy to the landlord, tenant, and agriculture in
genera!, suffered from the existing la,rs respecting
the sale of growing crops, corn, and manure tin-
der execution by the Sheriff, obtained leave to
bring in a Bill to amend the:same.
The CHANCELLOR_ of the ExcrreQuElt, in the
absence of, Lord Castlereagh,' moved, that the
House should Adjourn until Monday se'nnight.
Mr. NITYNNF,_ did not object to the Adjourn-
ment, as :t was only for •the usual period at thiS
season. In the present state of public affairs Mi-
nisters must have many difficulties to cooteod
"Wilk), Some in %Vida they might require the assist-
ance of the Hoose, but • whether they should need
it in the interval for which the House was to ad •
jomn, they
.were, from their peculiar situation,
bkist able to 'l:4,,c.—Adjourned until Monday sen-

ArpLEs—An effectual method of retaining good
apples in the country with Out grafting.—ln every
perfectly rive apple there. will be found one, and
sometimes two round seeds ; the others will
have one or more flatted sides. The round ones
will pioduee the improved fruit from which they
are taken 5 And thine with flatted sides will pro-
duce the tinit of the crab upon which the graft was
inserted. It requires not a long time to ascertain
the difference ; for it a circle is drawn in rich
ground, . and the flat sided seeds planted therein
and the ronal seeds in the centre, the variations
of :quality w;11 be discovered in two or three years ;
tie first will throw out the leaves of a crab, and
tie latter the leaves of an improted tree, distiar-
p,nished in shape, fihreand a lantiginoui appearance,
and ith dime time the fruit of each will put every
thirq; beyond doubt. It is to be observed, more-
over, that the seeds of crabs, being originals, are
turostlY, d not altogether, round.

Stephen Thompson, a shipwright by"trade, put a
period to his i2lXicellee, by cutting his throat, in
the Londtm Ilosital. It appears the deceased

weeks back succeeded imm cutting it so as to cause
him to be sent, to the Hospital, but being nearly
cured, he watched an 'opportunity, procured a
knife,. :lad coatpletely seveied ;he wind-pipe, by
which he instantly died. The Coroner's Inquest !

LAW INTLIIICI*;CiI,

COURT OF CHANCERY, :Sancti 23.

InsHors' LEASES.--PANE•V. SPENCER.
TIIIS unprece,!ented case came before the Court
upon the argument of an 'exception taken by the
defefidant'to the Report of the Master to. idiom
the cause sto&I referred, to find whether a good
title. was made out by the plaintiff for the de-
fendant, to the lands agreed to be conveyed un-
der a written contract•.

The. plaintiff tiled his bill for a specific per-
formance of the agreement, and the ?;aster re-
ported the title good, without the proquction
of the title deeds of the plaintiff's lessor,' the Bi-
shop of Bath and Wells, on the ground that, be-
ing a Corporation sale, the Bishop's title was not
to be-produced, as in ordinary cases, before the
purchaser should be bound to pay his pu base-
money. To this Report the exception was taken,
and ingeniously argued for the defendant, by Mr.
Ray, his Counsel, who contended that the Bishop,
in such a case, was only like any other individual
lessor, whose leases and title ought to be produced
by his lessee to the purchaser:or assignee of such-a
lease, in.order to make out a good title, as other-
wise the laiids leased :night have been in trust in
the Bishop, or as guardian of the real owner or
heir, and the: first lease a fraud, &e..

Sir • SAMUEL ROMILLY, supported by Mr.
TROWER, against the 'exception, Called 'the argu-
ments in support of the exception mere iniagina-
tHMS or fancies, inasinneh such doctrines would
shake the greater part of the titles in the king,
dom=such as the leases of the Crown, the Duchy
of. Cornwall, all Bishop's leases, •as well as those
of the Duke of. Marlborough, Earl Grosvenor,
and all other et,tates in the west of England; and
the leases of all Corporations, sole and aggregate,
in the kingdom.
Mr. RAY tiOI:le a succinct reply, retorting the
charge of fancy, and contended, that no argu-
nient or case was offered agaihst
His h oIOUII deferred judgment.
