ease of " Sheddon v. Patrick," when Mr. Nolan addressed their

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
The Commons brought up one public and two private Bills.
The public Bill was for the Abolishing the Office of Surveyor of
the Petty Customs. Several private petitions were laid on the
table of the House.

SOUTH AMIRICAN TRADE.
The House went into a Committee on the Brazil Trade Bill,
which was read paragraph by paragraph, and the report therein
was ordered to be made.
A Bill for regulating the Office of the Treasurer of the Navy was
read a third time.

LORD LIRUTVIANTS.
Lord ALBEMARLE, on the entrance of the Noble Secretary
of State, enquired why six months had been suffered to elapse
without supplying the vacancy of the Lord Lieutenancy for the
county of Norfolk?
Lord HAWKESBURY thought it was not necessary to ez-
pi* the particulars which had occasioned the non-appointment
of 1k Lord Lieutenant for that county ; it, however, would be sa-
tisactory to the Noble Lord to learn, hat the Deputy Lieute-
nant was fully compett at to the duties required, and that nothing
bad arisen to render such a nomination necessary.
Lord ALBEMARLE was a little surprised at the reply of the
Noble Secretary. it was well known, that there were many
duties of the greatest consequence, which the Deputy Lieute-
nants, from 'the nature of their office, were incompetent to per-
form.
A variety of papers which bad been moved fbr by Earl Grey,
respecting our correspondence with Russia, were laid on the table.
ORD.ERS IN COUNCIL.
On two motions of Lord LAUDERDALE, it was agreed, that
the Papers respecting the seizure of American ships, in conse-
quence of the Orders of Council, be laid on the Table of the House;
distinguishing the ports from which they came, where they were
seized, and to which they were subsequently destined ; supplying
a separate account of such as had been released according to the
terms of the Orders, on the payment of two shillings per ton.
