416sisTANT Csiiicit oF THE BLACK HOD.

The LORD C HANCE L LOR quitted the Wool-
sack, and addressed their Lordships on the subject of
the long and meritorious services of Mr. Quarme, in
the above higbly useful and respectable office. That
Ceesaleman w will known to their Lordships, as was
also his father, ti; most of them,.as discharging the
- duties of the offices new filled by the son, with fide-
lity anti diligence, and to the satisfaction of the
House, in the long interval between the year 17.54
and the year 1787 ; it was afterwards, and at present
filled by the present Mr. Quarme, who, in the most
complete, satisfactory, and dignified manner, dis-
charged the important duties of the office. They were
thus filled' and performed above three score years,
wiihcut the income of the situation having received
any addition. For his part, he hoped he was under
no mistake, that his was the universal sentiment with
regard to the respectable character in question, and
that of his meritoribus services. (Hear, hear.) On
these grounds, therefore, and in consideration of the
long, diligent, and faithful set vices of the son, he
moved their Lordships to Address his Royal High-
ness the Pt ince Regent-6. Praying that he would be
graciously pleased to confer some mark of his favour
on Robert Ottarme, Esq. Yeoman Usher of the Black
Rod, cn account of the long, faithful, and meritorious
• services of himself and his late father, in the said
office." On the question, the Address was voted by
their Lordships run. dis. and ordered to be presented
to his Royal Highne.ss in the usual way.

140.1611 SEDIT:OUS ETINGS BILL.
Their Lordships, pursuant zo thesOrder of the Day,
resolved into 3 Corn rti;ttee on this Bill.

Earl STANHOPE re-urged his forwier objections
to the principle and leading provisions of the Bill.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought the passing
of the Bill would he productive of tl:e most bene-
ficial effects.

Lord REDESDA LE spoke in support of the. Bill.
The Report was then received, and the Bill ordered
.to be read a third time to-morrow.—Adjourned.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
A Message from Lords Lavin.; required the attendance of
the House, the SPEARER, on his return, announced the Royal
Assent to a number of private an.'(for which see our
Report of .he Lords).
ADULTERATION OF BREAD.
Mr. LOCKHART, alter a few prefatory remarks,
relative to the unwholesomeness of certain mixtures
with pure flour, which are understood to be in gene-
ral use amongst bakers, in the preparation of wheaten
bread, moved tor leave to bring in a Bill to prevent
the adulteration of flour in the ma!: ng of wheaten
bread. Leave being given, the Bill wgs brought in,
read a first time, and referred to a Committee.
Mr. GIDDY, conceiving that the Bill proposed by
the Hon. Geotleman did not go far enough to pro-
cure a wholesome and nutiinous bread for general
consumption, would give notice of his intention to
bring forward an additional measure. The bakers of
the metropolis were in the habit of usiug, amongst
other unwholsome ingredients, a composition called
Baker's 5411, part of which was alum. It was ac-
knowledged and proved, that the constant consurnp,
tion of bread in which alum is used, is unwholesome;
he should therefore prose a clause to prevent the in-
troduction of any ingr edieiit, with flour, in the making
of bread, except common salt.
GttAwOUND EXACTION.
Lord YARMOUTH 'presented a petition from
Mr. M:ptague, the opponent of J. E. Collett, Esq.
the returned tviember. for Grampound, in the rcurn of
Cochrane Johnstone, complainiog of an undue return
having beets made, by means of bribery andtititer am-
rupt practices. Tilt petition ivas rteeived, read, and
ordered for consideration on Tuesday, the Ist of Sep-
tember nett.

XIALLINSON'S INVZNTION.
Sir F. BUlt DEVI', alluding to the motion of
which he gave notice yesterday, respecting the re-
turns of seamen of the King's ships, drowned by the
upsetting of buts, was still of ('pinion, from further
enquiries Le had read:, di it nething was more easy
• thin to fin nish such returns. He read a letter from
a naval Oilicer, who info med. him that the returns of
. all casualties were tem t.i the Admiralty in the month-
ly log books of every ship. He had no wish to ob-
i. ct to die money vot, d to Captain Manby for his in-
vention, nor to that abeut to be employee in the lauda.
ble purpose of carrying it into execution ; hiTt the in-
vention of Mr. Mal-boson, he would persist, was equally
worthy of pat renage,as it was applicable to all stations,
aetd ci,uld be used at all times ; and it was certainly
"of more national importance to save the lives of men
than to remunerate their families for trail:. loss. Exre-
rietice had sliewu that persons wearing this preserver
cannot possibly sink; and the strongest groune
that could be °fret ed tor its adoption by Covernnient
is, that since the renewal of the wet, in 180, not les?
