THE DUKE OF. KENT'S LOTTERY.

Mr. GRENFELL took occasion to ask, what was
.to be understood with regard to the design or ob-
ject or the petition presented last night relative to
.whar was called the Doke of Kent's Lottery, whe-
ther any communication had been bad with Go-
vernment respecting Ibat transac,ion, and what
was their intention upon the subject ?
The C.HANCELLOR 01 the ExcHEatrEa expressed
his readiness to give the House any iotormat ion
which he possessed upon this subject. Some time
ago a memorial was presented to the Prince Re-
gent by a Member of that House, praying-that the
consent of toe Crows, which, as the memorialist
stated,-was necessary before any petition applying
for a pecuniary grant could be accepted by the
House, might be conceded to a pctilion which had
for its object a prayer for leave to bring in a Bill
for disposing of some property of the Duke of
Kent's by Public Lot ter y. This tnemorial it was
the pleasure of his Royal Highness the Prince
Regent to refer to the consideration of the Lord
Charscellr►r, the First Lord of the Treasury, and
himself (Mr. Vansittart), an►d the result of their
deliberation, which they humbly represented to
the Prince Regent, was this, that it would be a
dangerous precedent to establish a Lottety for the
disposal of private property. A communication
to tl=e same effect was also made, with all due de-
licacy to the illustrious individual. more imme-
diately concerned. He had only to aJ.I, that as
the petition referred to did not pray for any pe-
cuniary grant, it could be presented to the 'House
without the consent of the' Crown, but that this
petition had not the sanction of his Majesty's
Government.

GRENFRI.L said, be was glad to hear that
Ministers had done that which the country ex-
pected from them ; but as it was probable that a
Bill would he brought forward founded upon the
petition referred. to, he hoped that such a Bill
would he strictly examined before it was agreed
to.—(Hear, hear !)
Mr. J. SMITH presented a petition from certain
Dissenters, praying for relief from particular
provisions in the Marriage Act.--Ordered to lie
