'THURSDAY, APRIL 12. ,•
C TfNS L were further heard on. the Appeal Cause,
Richardson v. the University of Oxford. 'To pro-
ceed again- next Thursday.
• •
The Bills upon the •Table.were read in their-
several stages.
'The illarp;s SLIG%; after sortie r ehlo_
gitiolis on the.spirit patriotism of, those 12egi'-
ments of. the Irish with hat:l:volunteered-.
their services, a -spirit which he thoiigict
nerally pervaded the w.isole: of the 'Establishment,
'moved an Address tn His Majesty; pra-ying that
thew be laid beflire the House an- account 'of the"
nrrrie':3 and numbers of...those Regiments of the IVlili_
of Ireland who had volunteered their 'servicei
io ft Britain, &c.
'L,rd HAwKEsuurti- 17ot-estid his concurrence
with the Nohle Marquis's Motion. -
The question was then put; and thg Address
ordered :!ccordingly.
The Earl of SUFFOLK said -hi had a proposi-
tion of very great iMportance to bring forward, and
Which be was then_ ready to sohmit to the*House if
Mini-lets had no ohjeaion.. It related to the War
now carrying, on in India, respeling which he en_
remained, either in a civil or military point of view,
very-different opinions from those avowed by matiY.
other persons.
Lord 114WKESBUR. y submitted to the -House,
Whether it were not proper that a Motion on a sub_
jza: of the -,,,mplicared and important nature as that
Hai/erred to by the Nohle Earl, should not be pre-
ceded by a reasonable notice ? and he al.,o.adveried
to the important subjea then_ regularly before the
linnse, -the completion of which measure.should be
delayed as little.as possible..
The Bail of SURFOLK observed, he had. no.
particular wish to bring it. forward that: day.—,
What he meant to propose in the first instaneel
would be only prcp2tratory to propositions of 4
more •general and evenSiVe nature. lie had no
obj -.tion to take to.:n ..rros,v as the day.
Lrd FMB IRT observed, that, with reference
to the nature of the subjea, the interval of notice
was too short, more especially as His' Majesty's
Government were not yet in possession of the of-
ficial reports noon the subjett.
7be Earl of SUFFOLK replied, that that very
consideration ,aould form one of the grounds of his
intended Motion. He.adverted to the importance of
the subject, and the necessity fur bringing it for-
ward .under their Lordship? consideration. The
Country had been engaged, Within a short interval,
in three wars in lodia, • and it was requisite that
• -the grew:cis_ or rowans for these wars should be be-
• fL,ce : the huljed- more especially requir-
ed investigation, when it was considered the Ene-
my may be at our doors.
After sonic further conversation on the point of
,time, between the Noble Earl and the two SEcitE-
TAR Iris of STATE, the first mentioned Peer, after
noticing the necessity he was under of very. shortfy
leaving town; agreed to postpone his Motion' until
after his return.
The Committee on the Priests and Deacons Bill.
was postponed till to-morrow.
. The order of the Day being read,- their Lordships
then went into a Committee on the Volunteer Bill,
Lord WALsINGH A:NI in the Chair.
A great deal of discussion, as on the former even-
ings, took place with respect co-the Clauses which
remained.' The principal Speakers were Lords
GR ENyIL I. E and HAWKESBURY, the LORI) CHAN-
CELLOR, Lords AUCKLAND, WRAP T, and ROLLE,
Earls SP FNC FR„ WI NCH I LSRA, and MORTON, and
the Duke of MoNTRosE.

;

On an amendment proposed by Earl SprlrcEß. to
the sth Clause, a division took place. The ob..
jed of the amendment seemed to he to.substitute
the Receiver General of the Distrid, &c. instead
of the Secretary at War, as the person to whotn
the certificates of service should be forwlatded, for
the purpose of receiving payment, on the ground,
principally, that the mode prescribed by the Clause,
would be produdive of too great delay, &c. •

The numbers were for the Amendment IQ
Against it

Majority _
The Clauses being gone throughi'some conversa-
tion took place as to the made of arranging the-cu-
ture progress of the Bill,. when it was proposed on
the part of iVilnisters in the first instance,- .that. the
Report should be -received as span as.the forms of
the. House would allow, in order to have it printed
with' the Amendments ; -and Mondar was nained as
the day, when it probably could be-taken into
,coq..
siderariort.

The consideration of some of the adjourned Clauses
was,.then entered upon, apd thew, alter a very long
discussion, being disposed of, Ine Hoose..resumed,
and ordered the Report to be received to.anorrow.

of it, arising from die stagnation 'Of' trade ", le

possible, perhaps,nrobable, if it iii n,,t been
for the irritation, arising front distress, .thtp
duped frOtn a cornbination of 6tset':, these Pe;i:.
lions would - never have been "presented. Thcy
were, 'however, presented, and the subjeetim.c...
ter of them had been referred to a Committee,
• which. (passing over one of its Members, of
whom it did. n,,ft become him to sty any thing)
'consisted of very intelligent and enlightened
Members of that House, who. considered the sub..
jet, reported upon it, and an Aa of Parliament
past to alter thetaw as it then stood, with respeA
to the mode of appealing to Magistrates, to appoinc
Referees to decide .on matters in dispute between
Masters and Workmen i.i she Cotton Trade.—
Whether that was a.proper Measure,: or nor, wou'd
be improper in him tit doubt; he deferred to the
sense of the, pet-J.411y respetiable Members of that
.Committee, and imperious and weighty reasi-ns
pressed upon their minds it the time, which 'in..
duced, them to make their Report, and to form an
opinitin which was peculiar, to 'the circumstances un-
der which. they made it. He .then proceeded to
give an history of the proceedings of those eon..
cerued in the'Weavers Trade in the Cotton Bosi-
ness, of their Petitions, and also of the ?roared-
ings of Parliament upon that suhjen, observing, .
that
.the. Committee to whom it was referred, met
great.difficulties in the case, in which they found it
'impossible. to satisfy both parties. The Committee
. had endeavoured on the one hand to form an
dal Tribunal to deeide.on matters of dipute, to af.
ford speedy redress to those who 'had just' grounds
of complaint, at as limited an eitpence as possible;
and on the other, they had endeavoured to avoid
any ressriaion or regulatiOn which might be -Con-.
sidered 1:;), the Manufaturers as fettering the
-Trade, in the prosperity of which, the interests 'cif
all the 'Workmen as well as the Masters were ma.:
terially involved. In giving the Petitioners- all
they asked, the Legislature might give them that
which afterwards they might repent of •asking,.:,.:.
.
The Committee could have no possible °Neil,
but to-do justice to both parties, and they "were;
;.perhaps, better Judges of the interest of the
tioners, than the Petitioners themselves. His Mo.
tion should be, that the House do agree• to the
Resolutions of this Comn'iittee ; and if it'shoUld Loci
the pleasure of the House to dosso, then he-should.
move for an AO of Parliament to catty these Re.
solutions into effe4 ; after which, upon refleainn;
he hoped the Cotton Nkreavers themselves vir)liici he
satisfied, and tlfat they
,would be convinces they
had all which could with prOprietv be grarited;'aria
that the.Manufaeitirers also, would, in their turn,
be satisfied that care had been taken that no injury
was done to them, Si) that neither the One, 'nor die
other should hereafter think it necessary to
to Parliament. He then moved 'that these Resolti..
tions be note read a second time.

Admiral BERKELEY Wished to know, whether
tliis Measure Was brought on-hy Goverianient, or
originated with. the Manufaaurers themsdves.---,,
He thought that a MeiStire similar to ought
to be adopted, with reference to the Woolieri
Trade. He wished to know, whether any ,ceps
were likely to he taken, in consequence of a
morial which had hen presented t,o' the subjea of
the Woollen Trade.
Mr. 11. A.b/)/NGTON said, that business bad
been. already,parily brought torward by a Right
Hon. Rd..tion •of'his, (the CHANCELLOR of Ole
EXCIiEpUEI2).
Admiral BERKELEY*" Then I am to under..
stand it as a public measure."
The Resolutions were then proposed to be read'
a second time.
Mr. FRANCIS said, he understood that the

Manufaayiers were at liberty to apply to be heard
by Counsel,ogainst any Bills that might be brought
in pursuant to these Resolutions, if they thought
fit,

The Resolutions were then read and agreed to.
Mr. It ADDINGTON moved, that a Bill be
brought in pursuant to the three last Resolutions.
ROBERT-BUXTON said, he was not going
to ,oppose the bringing in the Bill now moved for,
but he wished it to be understood as- his opinion,
67,4 -itie—greateSt—diffieutties which had been felt on
itibjeA, had itisen chiefly from our departing
frpth the constitutional-mode of adjusting differences
beiW"een Master arid Servant;. he meant that of an
appeal to the Magistrate..
The question was then put, and leave was given
to bring in theßilL

I,E)PENCES OF VOLUNTEERS, &cc.

Mr. C ALCR AFT said, he should postpone the
noiice of a Motion for an allowance for Contin.
Itrc-.. of Volunteers, until Mon.
dly the 23d instant.
