HOZISE.OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER the attenticupol the House to an Amend-
ment of the Lords in the London Docks Rad Bi.l. There was
in the Bill both a general and particular appropriation of Tolls.
The Lords struck uut the particular. The House agreed to this,
upon the ground that Ike anes:dment was immaterial, the parti-
&liar clause being included in the general.
A Messzge front the Lora* announced their assent to the
Prize mom y Bill, the Blackfriar's Bridge Sunday Toll Bill, and
others.

Mr. HORNER postponed his notice of a Motion, Ter leap to
bens in a Sill for the relief of Suitors in the Court of Session In
Scotland, eat to-mortew.
Mr. WILBER #efRCE moved that the Charitable Donations
Bill be re;corranittcd. He stated,' that sevcral alterations had
been made in the Bill, and therefore thought it best thit it
should be prince d as amended, ar•.d then postponed till neit
Session.—The Lill was then re-cornothted. Report received, as d
ordered to be further c‘rtudered this clay three months.
The Judges' Salaries Bill was rrverted, and ordered to be read
a third time to-mom:kw,.

Lord BINNigG:4I-sa broughtup the Report from
the Committee pn the Scotch Judicature Bill.
Mr. HORNER spoke at considerable length !Ton-
s great and oppressite &tett-existing. in the moire bf
pr
oceeding in the Court of Session in- Scotland, and
for which this Bill afforded notemed,y.,ntitwithstand-
ing thAt 11:e subject had occupied-so much of,the de
lii)eration in dr! /louse of 'Lords, both In.i.fortner
and the present Session. This 'defect was the neces-
sity under which suiiers were pliteed,'when answer.
ing the allegations of their opponents, of first taking.;
out copies of all the elaborate pleadings required. to
be entered by the other side, as records of the Cr,]ae]
before they 0,:5h.1 proceed to any replication by plea
or evidence. The..e pleadings, in some instances that ,
came hi, imn knowledge, amounted to a vo-
lume t:f 1500 pages, the copy of each of wh:ah re- i
quired the sign,tture of an ()cheer of the Courtk who
artist receive a fi.y upon each : and he bad known in-
stances wire the sum in litir;ation did not exceed
0200 or £3OO, Nviiv:e the fee of court alone amount-
ed to £5.:0 or £7OO, iicl in one such case to £l5OO.
g. prevailed in the prac-
Sixli an an-ang.rnent had
dee of the Sc!Lcii Cou ts, for no other , :tsou that he.
could bee,• than to create a revenue for the Scotch
Law Officers; but it was a bar-in the pursuit of jus-
tice,. wholly insurmountable to all suitors in ordinary
circutswances ; and even where a suitorwas success-
fill, and his antagonist chose to appeal to the House
of Lords, the parties could not proceed thither with-
out takibg out coMplete copies ofihe prticeedings in
the courts below, although not of the least use to
them, nor competent tofamish any new light to his

:

• •
advocates torero tile higher tribunal. The Ilonetir-
able and Learned Member forcibly the neces-

urged _
ety of easing the people of Scotland from that into-
lerable tax on the legal justice of their country, on
the necessity 9f .assimilating the proceedings there to
those in England, and of extending thither the ad-
vantage of trial by jury in civil cases; and he thought
this bill ought not to pass. the House without such an
amelioration of the judicature it purported to amend.
Mr. ROBER.T DUNDAS said, the a measure
such as that recommended by the Honourable and
Learned Member, could not be adopted, without a
mart important alteration in the legal practice of
Scotland for three hundred years ; and therefore the
House ought not precipitately to adopt any such pro-
ceedings,. but wilt deliberately, to hear the final opi-
nions of 'the' CommisSioners appointed to discuss the
subjk; and to examine it m all its bearings ; and he
knew tfritt there 'were. marl of the highest legal autho-
TititS hlSCOtlarld,vihodiftered inopinion on the subject.
Mr. ASERCROMI3IE agreed in. the objections of.
Mr. 'HORNY-ft, and admitted that the. House should
do nothingipecipitately on the subject; but he was
at a loss where to-cast the blame, for the delay which
had taken place in not bringing forward the final re-.
'port of those Commissioners to examine this subject
for whose appointment a Bill passed late in the last
Seision, although the commission was not signed by
'his Majesty until last January. -He understeod that a
majority of three Commissioners were in favour of the
alteration suggested by his Learned Friend • and that
the only point on which they had not yet been
,able
to make up their minas, was how the officers were to
be compensated for the loitSof fees that must accrue
from the alteration._ They had indeed suggested the
transferring those fees to.another quarter, but one
rqUally objectionable with that on which they were.
now imposed.
The CHANCELLOR. otthe EXCHEQUER
supported the opinion of Mr. touttoAs :as to the deli-
berate sautiaalvith which any alteration shtnild-be
at.temtnvAin.legal proceedings. as, long. established...
Ha.admittesl ihatt.it was deur-able to extend to Scot-
land the Trial bj Jury,' but thii only provided iewas
iigterable'f6 those most cohatrited,- and who best stn.

The Bill was read .a third time, passed, and or-
dered back to the Lords.
- COURT MARTIAL. '
• MT.. LYTTLETON rose to offer to the House a
Petition from Captain Jekyl, late of the 43d Regiment,
praying such-relief as teche,House should seem meet.
.Being called upon by the SPEAKER to state the
'natureot the Petition, •

Mr. LYTTLtTON said that the petition stated,
;that-in th e yea r 1304, the petit ionerhad instituted certain
charges against his superior officer, Colonel Stewart,
and brought him tb trial by a CoittiMartial ; tiiat the
Court, after hearing the evidence- adduced, were of
opinion the charges were not supported, They there-

fore- acquitted Colonel Stewart, and pronounced a vote
of censure upon the petitioner ; and his Majesty was
pleased not only tc approve the sentence of the Court,
but to dismiss the wtitioner from the service. That
petitioner, prvionsly to that dismissal, memorialed
l'or a trial of himself, by Court-Martial, in order to
have an opportunity of adducing, in defence of his
conduct, such farther evidence as he had deemed un-
necessary to be brought forward upon the trial of Co-
lonel Stewart, and to spew that he . had, not brought
forward that charge upon light. or frivolous grounds.
Mr. RYDER said, that as far as he could under-
stand from the statement, this petition went not only
to censure the judgment of a Court-Martial, which for
so long a time the petitioner bad suffered- to pass-un-
impeached, but to call in question also the exercise of
an undoubted prerogative of the C.rown, and-therefore,
he thought the petition such as the House of Com-
mons would not entertain. He would, however, ap-
peal to the higher and better informed-authority of
the Chair.
_ . _

". '

The SPEAKER said, that being called on, it was
his duty to state what was the nature of the petitions,
which it had been the usage of the House to entertain-
in cases of like nature, and what to reject. Petitions
complaining of the ordinary administration of justice,
whether in Courts-Martial or Civil, the House of
Commons had not usually entertained : but petitions
complaining of any extraordinary proceeding, any
gross abuse of the judicial authority, the allegations
of which there was no direct reason to disbelieve.
Such petitiOns the House of Commons usually. enter.
rain. The-most recent case of this nature which oc-
curred to him was that of the petition of Captain
Cochrane Johnstone. In that case, the House enter-
tained the petition ; and it must be for the House, in
its discretion, now to judge whether the petition now
presented stated that kind of extraordinary Cases which
would entitle it to be entertained.
Mr. ABERCROMI3IE said, that the Court-Mar-
i tial was one of the most respectable that had ever es-
isted. Sir John Mciore was the President. The Court
I thought that the charges were utterly without faun-
'nation' and censured the prosecutcr. This was not,
to hip opinion, a petition to be received. -
Air. LYTTLETON said, that the complaint was, '
I that a new trial had been denied to the petitionefi.
w'hich entitled to by .the regulations of. the
arn7. if this had been granted, he world have been
coall:ed to clear himself.
1. The CFIAL4CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob-
i served, that this was an us.nal mode of proceeding in
Courts Martial, and in the exercise of the preroga-
tive—and no new or, particular grievance had been
!Mated in this instance. If this was to be clam..
raf,red, there was scarcely any, case which might' not:
be niAO the subject of application,to thin House. •
- Lord H. PETTY said, that this was a very diffe- ,
rent case from that of Mr. CoChrane Johnstone, whose
complaint was, that he had-not received the benefit
of hisacquittal. The Present Petition stated' no pe-
culiar grievance.
Colonel DILLON objected generally, to the prac-
tice of presenting petitions against
,the sentences of
Courts Martial.
Sir S. ROMILLY differed from those who had '
. just spoken. The qu:dstionswas,*licther, the Petition.
should be heard? He uriderstiaod it to be stated, that
before this proceeding it 'had not been the custom to
censure and dismiss' a prosecutor without allowing
him L) bring evidence in his-own defence. The 'e.
titicn he thoulit ought at I4ast to he heard.
The SECItETAkY at WAR opposed' the PP..
titinn.
General PHIPPS also opposed it. .
Mr. LYTTLETON replied; that the complaint.

Lord HENRY PETTY rose, :pursuatit to notice,,
to move for additional paper on the subject of the

that Mr. Erskine had acted cfintrary, to bis'instruc,

Mr. CANNING. could tstliceede:to the motion.'
Hs_ aid there svere, thnee .points: which- Mr. Erskine
had been instructed to procure from the American
,;Government, for a repeal of our Orders in Council ;
;but not one of these had he, in fact, obtained. The

that the reasons which, in extenuation; may be urged,
were wholly overlooked. As Dean Swift had said,
11 he did not know of any man who did not bearlike
a Christian the misfortunes of otheri,"' so in the •
present case, no attention may be paid to-the provo-
cation which excited, and perhaps may justify an act
of violence. Great censure would alight np6tt a
boor man for whipping up his fatigued horse to the
discharge of his duty, while the man, who, alittle
before had been riding for the creation of an appe.
tite, overlooked the application of his spur to the
bides of his own'horse. Thus men would never be
Wanting to exercise all the Christian virtues at the
kpence of others: 'The ground of popularity which
this Bill had acquired arose not from the idea that
added to the prevention of those acts, so much as it
did oat of the public impatience to display their own
humanity-and torment others. It was not, besides,
that object of magnitude, which, excluding all other
remedies, could only be relieved by an Act of Legis-
lation. If persons who were employed as hackney-
teachmen, &c. were discoVered by their own em-
ployers to perpetrate such acts of cruelty to the ani-

Because, in fact, their employers were their abettors.
There were, no doubt, women of high sensibility, who
revolted from the sight of such treatment in the case •
of others; but when the matter came to be applied to
their own servants:—" Oh! they could not think of

not as malicious an act if a horse was wantonly diSa-

distinguished talents should be employed in opposition
to it. He possessed a letter, which he was sure would

congenial to his own. If the bill had been more ge-
neral, it would be argued that it went too far, and
now that it was confined to distinct offences it was
said it did not go: far enough:.. With respect to the
objection 'of inde-finitedess, the same Might be, urged
against any Bill for
.the protection of the human
species, and the arguments might as well be applied
to the treatment of apPrentices by their masters.—
The law 'was not to enact humanity, hut:to prohibit
gross and wanton cruelty to animals. We must take
human beings as they are ; and he denied that the
sports of the field had not the same evil effects on
the moral character of those who pursued them, as
the cruelty of kicking a horse on the belly, or striking
him over the eye with the butt of a whip by a. carter
or carman. The one depraied the mind; the other
did not. •
Mr. FRANKLAND deprecated legislating upon
a novel principle at this late period of Uie Session.—
The instances of gross cruelty, &c. to animals that
were to be brought forward in support of . this Bill,
he considered as calumnies and libels on the people
of England, invented and made up for the occasion.
The Bill went farther Than its suppOrters chose to
avow, and he could not give*it his suppprt. '7 •
Mr. JEKYL adverted to a late period of scarcity,
when horses were; kept in slaughter-honks for fouri
teen days together without provender, uttering cries
beyond their natnre, and like Duncan's horses, ready
to eat one another. No law could touch so horrid an
offence, and k was: to remedy this evil, and. to sub-
ject those guilty of it to punishment, that the present
Bill was tntroduced. He hopeclin GOD the'House
would treat it seriously, and legislate w!th theitu-.

-----
From Swedish Papers to the Bth inst. wo make the
following interesting extracts :--
STOCKHOLM, JUNE 6. .i;
The Duke Regent has issued an edict on the Ist init. by Which
he orders all Swedish subjects, belonging to the militia, absent on
leave, to rejoin theirzegiments. He declares in this edict, that al-
though he has offered to the enemies cf Sweden the fairest and
most equitable terms of peace, yet they have not been accepted,
either by Russia or Denmark ; both these neighboUring powers
having refused to enter into any negotiations on that impoitant
subj.:et ; the former havirg even recommenced hostile operations
against Sweden. He adds, that under these circumstances, it 13
unavoidably requisite to employ the whole military force of the
country to repel the threatened invasion : and that he accordingly
feels obliped to call all the militia to arms, and trusts that the
known valour of the people of Sweden will ultimately succeed in
ass: rting their independence, and obtaining peace."
Letters frcm the coast state, that a very numerous
flotilla of small vessels is assembled, and ready to I
make the most vigorous resistance, if the enemy's
flotilla, fitted out in Abo, should make any attempt
to invade our coast.

HELSINGBURp, MAY M.
The English Admiral Bertie, who set sail from the
2wedish coast, the 28d of last month, to meet some
convoys which were then expected, and take them
under his protectioo, returned this day with his squa-
dron, having fallen in, off Kellen, with a fleet of Swe•
dish inerchittumtn, he ordered a ship of 64 guns ta
convoy theirt ioilleirioit of destination.
A letter from the Baltic was this morning read at
Lloyd's Coffee-house, which states, that the celebrated
patriot, Stunt, is still alive, and giving new life to
the popular cause. The fact, as stated in this letter,
i;, that one of Scalp:* officers, by perscnating his
Chierdiuing the attack on Stralsund, heroically sa,
crificed himself to save his gallant friend.

A Letter was yesterday received from Captain
HOPE of the Navy, who is now cruing in the Baltic,
which states, " that he had just received an account
of BONAPARTE having re-crossed the Danube with an
army of 80,000 men, determined to make a desperate
effort to annihilate the army of theArchdukeCtrat itt.es;
that a general action took place, in which the Ails.
trians were completely triumphant, the enemy having
'been defeated at all points, with the loss of 30;00(;
men."—We thould be happy to be able to confirm
this intelligence.. The fact is, however, that we have
,this morning received Swedish Papers of June 7, in
which the -battles *lithe 21st and 22d are described
in lanstinge'precisely similar ; and it will be observed
that Captain HOre's letter furnishe* us with no dates:
—A -Letter has been received from Holland, stating
that the Archduke gained a signal victory over BONA.
rantit on the 28tli, -but it gives no spartitulars of the
battle.
A letter from Altcant, dated 14th May, states, that
the enemy had withdrawn from the province of Va-
lencia, and from the neighbouring frontiers of Catalo-
nia and Arragon, and that they had no expectation
of their return. Under these circumstances, they
considered that trade might be resumed with confi-
deuce, and in order to facilitate a commerce with this
country, the free admission of all British produce and
manufacture* was to be allowed on the payment
. of the duty of 151. per cent. ad valorem. The arrange-
ment, as it
.before sjood, operated as a total prolii-
. bitioa of British merchacdize.
.The accounts from Madrid represent that, notwith-
standing the waste of war, there is a great abundance
ef the articles of subsistence of the first necessity, is
so much that bread is at the low price of one penny
per pcund. The profusion is attributed to the pru-
dence of the farmers in the corn• countries, who are
solicitous to dispose of their produce at any price,
however" low, . on account of the liability of agricul-
tural stock, to be seised by publioviolence in the Pre-
carious condition of affairs in Spahr:
'The intercourse-between Qteit Britain and Ame-
rica, seetns happily to be. riiiving,. Several Ameri-

Bevend regiments of Light Cavalry, with Horse
Artillery, to, the amount of six troops, inclusive of
those lately embarked, are to be sent to reinforce the
British army in Portugal as soon as transports can be
nrot ready to receive them ; Sir ARTHUR WRLOSLEY
having made particular application for this species of
force. Of die light cavalry, the 12th tegithent, now
on the coast of the Kent district, has received orders: td
hold itself in readiness, and Captain LapEsrat's troop
of horse artillery at present at Canterbury, is among
the number of those whith are destined for this ser-
vice. The horse artillery has been found particularly
serviceable where rapidity bf movement is required ;
a troop which served during the last campaign in
Spain, having made a march of 60 miles in one day.
INUSTOL, JUNE 13.
The City of Bristol was yesterday thrown into
some Coolusicn and bustle, by the drums beatiog to
arms, and the immediate assemblage of all the mili-
tary in the place. It was repotted that expresses had
arrived from the Commanding Officers at Bath and -
Hereford, announcing something like a • mutinous
conduct in the Local Militia Corps, and requiring
reinforcements. The Volunteers, to their honour,
(cavalry and infantry) mustered in unusual numbers ; .
and, with an alacrity that evinced sincere zeal for
their Country's good, were properly accontred on pa-
rade in the sliCrt space of an hour, and declared them-
selves ready to march wherever their services were
required. The Ist Somerset regiment of Militia, com-
manded by Lord POJJLETT, formed with incredible
dispatch on College Green, and marched immediately
for Hereford. At the moment that the Colonel of
the Volunteers was about to give the order for march,
as counter.eapress arrived from Bath, saying the appre-
hended disturbance was ever. These corps were in
consißtiiince dismissed on parade, carrying to their
homes the thanks and approbation cf the citizens of
Bristol.
