HOUSE OP LORDS, FII:DfiY.

The Irish Coainiissioners' Fees, and the Irish
Counties Peace Bill, severally passed through
Counnittees of the whole House, and were re.pcirt..;
ed 'without aniendtnents.

Sonic Bills of minor importance were also for-
warded.

The LORD CITANCEtLOR intimated t.is intention
to propose the farther consideration of tote" re:
maining 'branch (i. e. the Feu) of the Roxburgh
Ca ue,e, with reference to the judginent Of theirLozd.;
ships thereon on:Monday neat:
The lionse then adjourned. during pleasure.
About five O'clock it was resutned; and the Lord
Cliaueellor took his seat on the Woolsack.

A Petition from the Corporation of Cursitors
of the High Court of Chancery, against certain
provisions of the. Sinecure Place Bill, then pen&
ing befOre, the House, was presented by the Lord
Chancellor; and being read, was, on his Lord-

• "T —OFFICIO INFORMATION.

Lord HoLLAND presented his promised Bill, in
reference to the number .4:)f thoe proceedingi
which had latterly occurred ki ihe Court of King s
Bench. lie explained that the object of the Bill
was to repeal that part of the Act oi' the 43th of
the King, which referred to ex-eicio informatiOnsi
leaving the Act of the 26th (as cve uuderstoocl 1
Lord Ship) untouched.

The 13ill was, without furthei .bbseryatioil,
read a first time, and ordered to be printed.

PALMER'S.COMPENSATION BILL. -
The Earl of LAuDERDALE. seeing a Nobhi Earl
(Moira.) in his place, -begged leave to observe,
that a great mass of important information was
before the House, with ropect to the above im-
portant subject, which it was itupOssible their
Lordships could have yet even thoroughly read ;
he trusted, therefore, the Noble Earl would, not
think of bringing on its discussion, after the two
previous businesses then before the House were
disposed of.
The Earl of .11.1oiRA obseivved, that the papers
upon wkich the Noble Earl laid so much stress,
were by no means so important to a view of the
real merits of the question. The report was in
possession of the House so long as tour. or five
.nears,. and he would ask the Noble Earl if he bt
lieved the whole of the voluminous mass he had al-
luded to, would be gone into by any Noble Lord?
The call upon the Home in this case, was one of
pressing justice,. one way or the other. Under ail
the circumstances of the case, and under his view
of the subject, he should consider himself highly
culpable, if, as things then stood, he consented to
postpone the discussion—if those upon the other
points before, the House should leave sufficient
time for their Lordship to proceed with it.
The Earl of LAuDEADALE replied, that the Inca.;
sure in question materially concerned the ch•arac• ter of Parliament and the justice of the country.—
The claims were, founded upon the draft of an
agreement, which be wished was before their
Lordships, to see whstt that gentleman wouLt
really be entitled to, instead of .what was now
proposed. His claims would have been to a greater
extent, bat by his conduct with respect to that, it
would appear tuat the claimant meant to abandon
tbat,ground.
The Earl of MOIRA shortly observed, that the
notice he had given would depend upon the na-
ture of the papers presented..
, A considerable number of Bills were then
brought up from the Commons, by Mr. Lushing-
ton, Sir James Graham, and other Members, and
sever•.ally read a first time.

Mr. -S'ewton, from the General Post Office, pre-
sented, in pursuance of an order of their Lordship
an Account of Mr. Pahner's Per Centage on the
Revenue of that Department, which was ordered
to lie on the table.

The Earl of Mo IRA then acquaipted their Lord-
ships, that he would. not. bring on the discussion
of- the measure to which the ,accounts just pre,,
seated referred, but that he would move the se-
coed reading of Palmer's Compensation Bill on
Monday.
