7Tinehas,ltowever, conferred a Peature on this Publication,
which it could not originally possess, and the unsparing Scythe of
Death has converted the early Volumes, with some few except
Lions, into a Necrology or Obituary of departed excellence. In this
point of view the Work exhibits new claims to general interest ;

Canal passing through them.
THE GRAND TRUNK CANAL COMPANY
having again given notice of their intention to apply to Par-
liamment in the ensuing Sesiion, for an alteration in the mode of
r.t,ing them to the Relief of the Poor; the Committee appointed
by the Parish of Stoke-upon-Trent, in the Sttffordshire Potteries,
t , oppose, on the part of that Parish, this very Material altera-
•icn in the existing laws of property, and parochial liabilities,
tit 'tit it proper to call the attention, and to invite the co-operation
cr• every Parish interested in this serious and alarming measure.
—An immediate communication with the gr.-at Landed Pro-
-I.rietars in each District, is strongly recommended, and not a mo-
ment should be lost in applying to their Parliamentary Pi lends.
If the Orand Trunk Canal Company succeed in their attempt, no
,louht it will be followed up by all other Canal Companies. On a
,uestion, pregnant with such important consequences, us all other
descriptions of rateable property, and with such powerful interests
contend with, the most prompt and decided activity and co- I
qiemtion, is essentially. necessary; and such Parishes as are in-
clined to eo-operate, are requested to signify the wne by letter,
addreseed so the Churchwardens of Stoke-upon-Trent, previous to
the I nth instant, when the next Meeting of the Committee of that
Parish will take place.

Mr. ROSE wished to know the specific object of the motion
the Hon. °endemics had given motive of. d
Mr. HORNER replied, that in making the motion he ho -
be able to satisfy the Right Hob. Gestianan. He was afraid that
the licences granted under the authority of his Majesty in Cons-
eil had been too generally converted to the carrying on of part -
cular importations. contrary to the provisions of the Noels. tin,
Act ; and that this called for cautious investigation, more espe-
cially since the system of general blockade and the orders of Coun-
cil. It was also his wish to ascertain the amount of foes paid
• Officers and arising out of this practice.

RUSSIAN PAPERS.
Mr. PONSONBY had a question to put to
Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Perceval) ,
was simply this, whether it was the intention of
Majesty's Ministers to lay before the House copies 1.
the tender made by this country to Russia, soliciting
the mediation of the latter between England
Denmark ? As those papers could not endanger
betrayal of confidential secrets, he trusted the Raj
Honourable Gentleman would have no objection
bring those papers before the House, and state when
he should do so.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQU"
had no objection whatever to the production of t
papers alluded to by the Right Honourable Gentle-
man ; it was probable that to-morrow the papers
(inbred would be laid upon the table.
REVERSIONS. •
Mr. BANKES began by requiring that the
ceedings of the 10th of August, 1807, relative
Reversionary Grants, be now read. It was read
cordingly, when Mr. Bankes observed, that
thought it merely necessary to remind the House
the fact, to 'which they would no doubt conch
thomselvec as now pledged. The House
thought the Bill which he should now move for,
be of so important a nature, that they judged it ..
cessary to present a Petition to the Crown, to which
his Majesty had been pleased to return a most
cious answer. He trusted that the House would
now see any reason to depart from that line of
duct which it had then so creditably adopted.
was now, perhaps, merely necessary for him to
the House in possession of the fact, as it stood
corded on their Journals, and exhort them to perse.
vcre ; but, as there had been fears entertained of '
measure being fraught with tendencies injurious
the Prerogative, he felt it his duty to assure
House that the conviction on his mind was rather
an opposite nature; he was sure that it went rat'
to strengthen than intrench upon the prerogative
the Crown; it might, no doubt, temporarily
pend the exercises, or rather the abuse of the
rogative, but that very suspense would ultimat'
tend to strengthen it. Besides, according to
present system, offices were too often disposed
a manner that did not much tend to the encourage.
ment of ability and desert. Independent of the
two reasons, he had a third, which served to confirm
the two former—this was, the manner in which
proceedings of the Committee of Enquiry had _

further observations, but move, That leave be gi,
to bring in a Bill to prevent the grant of Offices
Reversions during Life, or with benefit of survi-
vorship.
Mr. W. DUNDAS rose for the purpose of express.

preseht last Session when the last Bill was before

the abuse of those grants that they should not ,
given at all, nor was it any argument, in his opinion,
for the passing of this Bill, that the Committee was
sitting. He considered it but fair that a man should
