The ;MRD cI4ANC:fiLLO3 presented 'a_ petition
from au individual, he said, residing in the East
Indie,s, setting forth • the: peculiar liardshin to
which; from ona'voidable circutns.tances, be. was
bobjected, and praying.re'rief. The_case was one,

adniteronscondnct on; the part of a wife, •in re-
spect .to which the petitioner brought his action

in order to enable their Lordships to giVe the pe-

was one
,whiek he -thought deserving the consi-
deration of the 'louse, with regard to the special
relief Which they might exaend to the petitioner ;
and lie intended to bring the matter to-morrow

BILLS RELATING TO TRADE'.

Tile Earl, of LAnnettnAca, in reference to his
notice on a.fornter evening, said lie had to submit,
for the adoption of their Lordships, an ad.lition,il
Standing Order, in relation to the above subject.
It would go to ordain, that in future no Bilhvbich
went to t Endre particular marks to beset on ar-
ticles of trade or manufacture, or to the regulation
of Apprentices, or forestalling the term of any
Patent &c. sliould be read the second time, until
a Select Committee shou.ld previously into
the expediency of the regulations proposed.
The Earl of• LIVBRPOOL expressed his entire
concurrence in the regulation proposed. (t bore
some analogy (but prOposed in a more convenient
shape) to a proceeding long ridopted by the other
House whicl► dhl not proceed to any measure re-
specting the.regulatioa of trade, unless it was first
generally considered in a Cominittee of :he whole
-louse.' The mode contemplated by the propos-
ed Order was certainly a more lidvant.igeons one,
namcly,the -delegation of such.a poWer to a Spe-
cial Con:lmittee, directed tip tw-ihe an inquiry, anti
report on the subject or particular case ; such as
an extturination into the truth of the. allegations.
Therefore no Bill would be ca;retn•re;l-itt wilb9ut
some previous inrestigation, anti their knowing
the grotrnd .upon which the measure rev ed. The
proposed Standing'Order had 1)13 entile concur-
rence.
