The Earl e. GROSVENOR presented a petition from
an individual tmfined in Stafford Gaol, complaining of
the partiality aid other improper conduct of the Go-
vernor of that trison. The Noble Lord would not pledge
himself for .th truth of the allegation contained in the
petition, and Jts sure that if there existed any real cause
of complaint, would- have been redressed by the Ma-
,listrates of tlni County, were the subject brought under
their considera6.
Lord DARDIOUTH said, that he knew nothing what-
ever of the petioner's case. The Noble Lord, however,

a very respectaln individual, and one who gave general sa-
tisfaction.

know whether there was any truth in the statements gene-
rally prevalent .Ivith respect to the tranquillity
.of that
Colony.
Lord GODERICH was unable to answer the question
put to him by ti` Noble Lord, as his Majesty's Govern-
ment had not received sufficient information_ to warrant
him in giving s:satisfactory answer.

Several Private Bills were brought up from the Corn-
MOLLS by Lord Stanley and other Members of the Lower

Lord GODEELCH rose, and spoke nearly to the fol-
lowing effect. My Lords, I rise pursuant to a notice which
I gave the ether (l :y, to propose a vote of thanks to the Army
and Navy, recently employed in the Eastern hemisphere, and
if now my Lords, some time has elapsed since you have been
called on by almost annual motions to testify your high sense
to the services rendered to their country by the fleets and
armies of the King, we should recollect that that very
unfrequeney is from a place which was itself the result of a
war, during which you so often expressed your thanks to the
heroes engaged in it.—(Hear, hear.)—My Lords, it will
be impossible for me to discharge my present duty without
recollecting, with no small degree of pride, the honour
conferred on me when I was one of the individuals se-
lected by the House of Commons, of which I was then
a Member to convey their thanks to that great and
Illustrious Duke,: whom they themselves thought it an
honour to address.t---(Loud cheers.)—And, my Lords, I
am persuaded that, there is no one who will more cordially
join with me in testifying the thanks of this House to the
individuals whose high claims are now under considera-
tion, than that distinguished warrior, particularly when
he calls to mind that they were engaged on that same theatre
on which he first unsheathed that sword which afterwards
flashed terror on our enemies, and glory on our country.—
(Loud cheers.)—These few preliminary observations 1
have felt it my liuty to make, in justice to that high indivi-,
dual, whose services we must all regard with feelings
of admiration and gratitude.—(Continued cheers. )—ln
stating the ground upon which I call on you to adopt the
Resolution which I shall.have the honour to submit to your
approbation. 1 will/not allude hi the slighter;; degree to
the political topics which led us into a war with the Bur-
mese, or into the other military proceedings.—(Hear.)—
Because I think that upon all such occasions as this it is
desirable to abstain from every thing which might tend to
interrupt our harmony. The circumstances which led
to the war, conducted by Sir Archibald Campbell,
originated in the conduct and commission of acts
which took place long before our Government felt itsel
called upon to have recourse to hostilities. It was impos-
sible for the Government of that country not to feel that
they were placed in a situation of no ordinary difficulty :
they were to carry the war into a country abounding with
the natural means of opposing them. Every step was to
be retarded by obstacles resulting front the very nature of
the hostile country. Under these circumstances Government
felt that the only way of ensuring succes was by striking a
blow at the capital of the enemy, and that the only way to do
this was by availing themselves of the course of the river,
which ran by Rangoon. The Noble Lord entered into de-
tails of the operations in India, and concluded by expressing
his hope that their Lordships would make allowances for
the feeble manner in which he had discharged his duty.
He then moved the resolution of thanks, which was the
same as that agreed to in the Commons.
The Duke of WELLINGTON considered that the Go-
.Vernment had done every thing it ought to have done to
forward :the success of the armies. The army in Ava,
particularly, had met with many hardships ; the provisions
had been removed, the animals had been driven out of the
country, and the officers and men had met with nobody
but who appeared in the character of enemies, still they
had conducted themselves with the greatest firmness and
bravery. His Noble Friend, Lord Combermere, had lost
no time in joining the army on his arrival in India, and
had travelled upwards of one thousand miles in ten days,
in order that he might begin the operations at a proper
season. From the time of commencing the operations till
the first success, he was sure that the exertions of the officers
and troops had never been surpassed. Under these cir-
cumstances, there was no occasion for him to call on their
Lordships to express their approbation of the conduct of
the army, or to acquiesce in the motion of his Noble
Friend. In conclusion, his Grace observed, that their
Lordships must have learned, with great satisfaction, that
the native troops, in the service of the East India Com-
pany, hadvied with those in his Majesty's service.
Lord CARLISLE could not but warmly admire the
operations, both of the army and navy. Whether the
House viewed the hardships or the bravery of the army, it
would equally appear that on hardly any occasion hid
there been a more urgent call on the British nation for
their testimony of its high approbation.
Lord MORLEY followed in a similar strain.

RUN-AWAY AND KICKING HORSES.-COOK'S

PATENT LIFE-PRESERVER.
THE objects of the LIFE-PRESERVER
are to stop four, a pair, or a single-horse, when run-
ning- away with carriages of every description ; this may
be done by a lady or a child inside, if the coachman is
thrown from his seat—to secure them from starting off in
the temporary absence of the driver, nn advantage of vital
importance in Stage Coaches—and in a gig it has the ad-
ditional advantage of preventing the horse from kicking. It
'arrests the progress of the animals in a gradual manner ;
it may be applied to any carriage in use, at the Manufactory,
127, Long Acre; and gentlemen who are going to build
new carriages may have it applied, in town or country, by
their own Coachmakera, for whose guidance printed in-
struotions are prepared.
Now that the invention has been perfected and patro-
nized, and that a respectable body of Coach-builders have
undertaken to attach it to new carriages, such persona as
feel disposed to purchase the Irish and Scotch Patents of
this truly valuable discovery, are requested to call at the
Manufactory, where carriages, fitted, may be seen ; or
transmit by letter, post paid, the nature of their offer to
Lieut. Cook, the Patentee, who cannot give the necessary
attention to the invention in those countries which it
naturally requires. The Patent for England, which ex-
tends also to the Colonies, he reserves to himself, and any
person wishing to speculate, by sending the Life-Preserver
to any part,of the East or West Indies, where it is very
mush wanted, or indeed to any of the Colonies, will have
a liberal allowance, to make the speculation well answer
their purpose.
By referring to the " Morning Post" of the 12th of
March ; " The SUN" of the 17th ; and the " New Times"
of the 18th of April, 1827, a very powerful and gratuitous
testimony, in favour of this invention, may be seen.

NATIONAL SILK WEAVERS' SOCIETY,
Established for the sole purpose of giving constant Em-

ploynient to the 'poor. Weavers and their Families of
Spitalfields.

rilHElß PATRONS, and the NOBILITY
1 and Public, are most respectfully informed, that they
have commenced Selling at their Warehouse, No. 15, De-
vOnshire-square, Bishopsgate-street, opposite the Church,
previous to opening their Retail House, at No. 59, Oxford-
street. They cut at their Warehouse any quantity of Silk
from the piece, at one penny per yard on the cost price,
where they always keep ready manufactured rich Ducape,
plain and figured Gros de Naples, stout Lustring and Sarsnet,
Black and coloured Levantines, and Satins of every de-
scription and quality, and a most extensive assortment of
rich Silk Damasks, including, among a variety of others,
Thirty new Patterns of elegant Taberets, the designs of
which are perfectly Original, and executed exclusively for
the Society, consequently will be found the greatest no-
velty ever submitted to public inspection.
Ladies are most respectfully informed that it is not
profit they seek, but only sufficient to cover expenses, and
keep the men in constant employment. Those Ladies and
Gentlemen who will honour the Society by becoming yearly
Siffisciibers of Ten Shillings, will be waited upon at their
respective dwellings by one of the members of the Com-
mittee, with every new Pattern of Silk previous to their
being submitted to public sale.
The Subscriptions will go to the Fund of the Society,
to provide for the benevolent purposes for which it has
been, established, via.--at each member's death, 121. A
member's wife's death, 61. If any member sick, 12s. per
week, and if out of employment, 10s.
The purchasers, if they wish, may see rich Silks in the
progress of being manufactured.
Due notice will be given to the Patrons and Nobility,
and Public, the day on which they open in Oxford-street.

The Earl of HARROWBY begged Vto trouble their
Lordships with a few words. He was not wanting in sen-
timents of the deepest respect for the merits of the Noble
Lord who was the Governor-General of India.—(Rear,
hear.) He did not want a perfect persuasion that our
successes were not owing merely to the valour of our
troops, but in a great measure to the councils of the Noble
Lord—to his decision, and to the wisdom with which he
had made preparations for the contest ; but admitting that
success was owing as much to council as to valour, to the
determination of the Noble Lord as to the exertions of the
troops, he must still observe, that it never had been usual
to vote the thanks of that House for civil services. There
was one exception, he believed, in the case of a near relation
of aiNeble Lord, but that gentleman had rather adopted a mi-
litary character, and gone on an expedition by himself. There
was he believed, also another case ; but it was not necessary
to quote precedents to satisfy their Lordships, sensible as his
Majesty's Government was of the wisdom of our Councils
at Calcutta, that only the usual practice of their Lordships
was the motive for not including the civil with the mili-
tary services. If any thing could make such a vote less
necessary, it was the mark which that Noble Lord had
received of his Sovereign's approbation, who was the best
judge of his services. He would not follow his Noble
Friend in the explanation he had given of the reasons for
calling on their Lordships for their vote ; he would only
say, that if any thing could add to the honour of the vote
of that House, it must be for the army to know, that it
had been praised by a man who was the best judge of their
merits; laudari a viro laudato must be to them far more
gratifying than any approbation which could be bestowed
by civilians like himself.
The several motions were then put and carried unani-
mously.

I feel, my Lords, that I -" raim your Lordships' induls
genes while I we- -e to trespass on your patience for it
muort, pc.ica an moving for those papers I have previously
asked for. I must here state to my Noble Friend that my
object in moving for these papers is not to try and find
faults with the expenditure of the Foreign Office ; my object
in moving for these papers is to show the different state
of the Foreign Department at the time when the present
First Lord of the Treasury succeeded to the office in 1822,
(min its present state. I wish to show your Lordships the
position of that office, that, before we admit that the altera-
tion which has been made in it is beneficial to the country,
we shall be in possession of all the information which is
necessary to a right decision of this question. If my
Noble Friend opposite, however, will declare that the pre-
sent Government is intended to be, permanent, that it is to
take up all the great questions which enter into the present
perilous situation of the country as a Government ought to
take them up, I will no longer trespass on your Lordshipss
I will not press my present motion, nor will I bring for.
ward any future motion. If my Noble Friend will give me
au assurance that the presentsis not a temporary Govern-
ment, and that the Offices of State are not temporary
appointments, lily motion shall fall to the ground.—.
I not only call on my Noble Friend to give me this
assurance ; I shall also call on the Noble Marquess
to state to me how long, according to the fashionable
phrase, the disgusting concubinage is to last ?_—(Laughter.).
—I shall call on him to state when it is to cease, and
when the marriage is to be promulgated ?—.-(Laughter. )
I shall here beg leave to address myself not only to the
Noble Marquis, but to the venerable Lords opposite, and
ask them if they are,any parties to settling this alliance?:
Have they given any advice ? They are the guardians of
our morals and our virtues, and I wish to know if they
have seen the settlements and the ring, and if they are
ready to solemnise the marriage? lope that one half—
the better half, but which that is I cannot pretend to de-
cide—(langhter,)—will not be abandoned by the worse,
and, like other unfortunates, deprived of character, be unable
to obtain another place.—(Hear, hear, hear.)—l will next
apply to the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, and ask him'
whether, supposing any such unfortunate breach were to
take place, it is likely the law can patch it up again,
or whether an action would lie -for the non-fulfilment of
the engagement ? The quantum of damages for the injury
sustained is quite another matter, and to me it seems:
problematical whether any compensation could be ob-'
tained from a British Jury for the loss of any thing so ap-
parently worthless. I should like to appeal to the Right
Reverend Bench on another point, and to ask them whether
they have heard any thing iu their quarters regarding cer-
tain rumours generally circulated in what I believe are now
called the Treasury Journals? In addition to about 15
Noble Personages lately sent up hither, it is given out that:
We are to have a fresh accession of new creations—new
creatures—or recruits, if I may so venture to call them—
and that, for certain purposes easily understood, eight or
ten are to be added to the Peers already made, so as to
raise the whole to the number of about twenty-five. I
should bo glad to know whether they are to come among:
us in the character of trustees to this new alliance, or:
whether with some other object bearing upon the great'
question which interests Ireland.—(Hear.)—Whatever be'
the motive in introducing such personages within these
walls, at this moment, my Noble Friend opposite (Lord Go-
derich) and the Noble Marquis (Lanadown) ought to beware
lest, for the sake of getting these new friends, they lose all
their old ones.—(Hear.)—l do not apprehend that the
Noble Marquis, or au other Noble Lord, will contra-
dict what I assert upon this subject. As to the Catholic
Question, it is well known that I have been at all times
an anxious and zealous supporter of it; but I never will
consent that a measure of such vital importance shall be
carried by sinister methods—(Cheers)—knowing, as I do,
the sentiments of the Personage in the realm.—
(Cries of "order, order.")—l will not consent that the
question shall be carried by underhand means ; if it is to
make its way, let it be openly and fairly, by that repeated
and constant discussion, which is gradually to convince
men's minds. It seems that even the existing provisional
Government is not yet complete—there are some offices
unfilled. I allude to the offices of Judge Advocate, Sur-
veyor of the Woods and Forests, and Master of the Mint.
LHis Lordship here, in a more subdued tone, referred to
some paragraphs in the Newspapers, relating to himself,
and asked (as we understood) whether some information
had been sent to " the Editor of a certain Press," on which
some lines had been founded, ending with the following
couplet :
" Please to correct the gross misprint—
For master-mind read Master-Mint."

The Noble Marquis then proceeded]—l must do the First
Lord of his Majesty's -Treasury the justice to admit, that in
another place he has explained the basis on which he has
founded his foreign and domestic policy. His predecessor
in the office of Foreign Affairs was certainly greatly aided
by that sort of confidence and respect which ought always
to accompany the negociations of this great empire. The
negociations at Verona were conducted upon the same
principles, and terminated highly to the advantage of the
character of the country, and to the credit of the Noble
Personage who conducted them. The loss of the Emperor
Alexander was one of the greatest calamities that ever vi-
sited Europe ; from having seen that illustrious Monarch
for many years, :and knowing his matchless, his incom-
parable qualities, I am able to state, that he was one
of those Sovereigns who, during life, are entrusted witb
the greatest possible power to do the utmost possible good.
Without at all diminishing the value of his imperial suc-
cessor, thus much I have been called upon to say. Let
us remember the former character of Great Britain,
while in connection with the Emperor Alexander,
when our armies were led by the God of War, and
when we knew nothing of that God who, it seems, is
now to guide us, the God of Knaves. Into this matter,
however, I will at present go no further. Having stated
what I really think on that past of our diplomatic arrange-
ments, I hope I may venture to speak a little as to the
principles and sentiments of my lamented and noble rela-
tion, as far as regarded what has been called the Holy Al-
liance. Allow me to observe, that his name has been con-
nected with it in a very mistaken and improper manner,
and to show that it was so, I will trouble the House by
reading his own words. [The Noble -Marquis here read a
short passage from a speech or dispatch, by the late Lord
Londonderry, without mentioning the source from whence
it was derived. It stated, "As to the Holy Alliance, my
feeling is to make England no party to it, but with pa-
tience and forbearance to watch its measures and their
tendency. We may thus become acquainted with the
views of Foreign Powers, and take the opportunity of
counteracting their plans, if we find that the inte-
rests of England are compromised." It is unneces-
sary for me to trouble the House further at pre-
sent, in order to advert to certain reports which, on
a former day, I took upon myself to state, were most
extraordinary. These reports, with certain additions made
elsewhere, are before the House, and before the country.
There I would wish to rest at present, leaving the good
sense, the wisdom, and the clear-sightedness of the en-
lightened people of England, and your Lordships, to deter-
mine regarding them. The circumstances I have stated
will be connected with the extraordinary coincidences, so
well recollected, of six contemporary resignations, and
hence it may be seen bow they apply to the head of the
present Administration. I must add, however, that this
contrivance--this juggle, I may call it—in my opinion,
places the Noble Lords opposite in no very creditable sites-
tion.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Before I sit down, I beg to
thank the House for again extending to me the indulgence
ii has recently shown me on several occasions. His Lord-
ship then moved an Address to the Crown for an account
of the expence of its Diplomatic Servants at Foreign
Courts, from sth January, 1822, to sth January, 1827,
distinguishing the years and various other particulars 01
special missions and retired allowances.
Lord DUDLEY—I feel considerable difficulty in fol-
lqwing the very singular speech with which the Noble
Marquis prefaced his motion for the production of papers
relating to the expences of our foreign diplomatic service.
If the Noble Lord had chosen to bring forward any specific
charge on any known or admitted fact, that 'charge I would
live been prepared to resist. But are insinuations; re-
