JF. KING begs to refer to the Trade, in general..j
• a Composition, the resemblance of which to Gold not only
far excels that of any other substitute hitherto submitted to
publi. notice, but is also, in every Olsen ial y (a 4 far as *se-
lams to its use in manufacture) an equiv./lent to Goki itself. Ira
richness of colour and great w.ight, this Conipo-itioti so strictly
resembles the Sta• dard Gold, that Gobi-workers have ant been
able to distinguish one from tl:e other. The most important
property peculiar to this Conntusition, consists-Et the very vngu.
tar circumstance of it not being at all subject to cbang its lustre
any mere than the Standard Gold. In ductility it is precisely
the sane, and will at all times be found as pliable to-work, whe-
ther flatted or in wire, as Gold itself; in fine, the only difftrence
between them whatever, is mer.:sy that arising hurt their intrinsic
value.

.1. F. K. also directs the attention of colourei Workers to tie
peculiar properties attached to the Merin Orr, as it it so cons-
posvei as to receive a beautiful rich dead colour, which cannot he
distinguished by the most accurate inspector •rosis fine coloured
Gold, and thereSy uniting every essential quality which entitles
it to a pre-eminence above every other composition known to the
public, and places it equally on a parallel with coloured Clad
itself; and, however singular it may appear, that a composition
can be firmed possessing such Invaluable properties, I.::herto
confined to Standard Gold a'one, has been most satisfactorily
proved; L.". K. having the exclusive art of colouring this com-
position• by a peculiar process winch entirely precludes the ne-
cess:ty of gilding.

IRISH TOBACCO DUTY REGULATION. BILL.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to call the attention of
the House to a Bill then lying on their Lordships' Table; fur the
Regulation of the Du ies on Tobacco in Ireland. He was aware
that it was not customary to print bills of this description, nor
was be in the habit of requesting the House to depart from thar
principle. But, where clatnes were introduced of an extraordi-
nary nature, he conceived they ought to be printed for the gene-
ral information of their Lordships. In the Bill then before them
two clause, of a most unprecedeined nature were introduced. By
these a v.initersis was not on'y established, but it was established
in the most exceptionable manner. He did not think their
Lordships would wish to pass such a Bill, blind-folded, and would
therefore Move, "That it be printed for the information of the
House."
Ihe Earl of ROSS said, the proposition of the Noble Lord
could answer no other purpose than to delay the progress of the
Bill, which, it was of importance, should be passed -as speedily
as possibie. The Noble Lord had in his possession a copy of the
clauses which he conceived so ohjectionable, and, therefore, the
printing of the Bill would not afford him any additional informa-
tion on the subject. _
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, as the motion was opposed
by the Noble Lord, he would state to the House the two clauses-
to which he objected, for the purpose of showing the necessity of
hiving the Bill printed. By the first it was enacted, " that all
bond, warrants, or other securities, given for any tobacco, at a
less rate than what was paid for it on importation, together with'
the eecise duty, and two-pence per pound addition' shall be tn.
terly void and of no effect ; and no action shall be sustained
thereon, in any Court of Justice." By the next clause it was
provided, " that, when tobacco was sold, for ready money,
for any lower price than as before stated, then it should be
lawful for the person soNbuxing, to recover from the vender a
sum equal to thefts!! valve. What was to be recovered l Pe-
nalties to the amount of the full value of the commodity sold.—
But they were not informed by what means the full value wait to
he ascertaiped. He defied any man to understand it. Those who
framed the clause might have meant the mistimes,. price—but many
other constructious could be put upon h, equally capableof being
supported.
The Earl of ROSS said, the clause in question was similar to
one inserted by the Irish Parliament, in a Tobacco Duty Bill,
in 1791.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, he had not presumed
to mention that Statute ; but if such an enactment wete to be
found in it, it struck him as being extremely deficient.
On the question, "'1 hat this Bill be printed," the House di-
vided, when there appeared,
Contents 3—N on-Cont ent s 6—Majority 9.
The Bill afters aids went through a Committee, and Naas re-
ported without amendment.
The Bill fur continuing the Commissioners of Military Inquiry
in Ireland, was read a second time.
The London Duck Improvement Bill, the Place and Pension
Duty Bill, and several private Bills, were brought up from the
Commons, and read a first time.—Alourued.

Mr. LOCKHART moved the third reading of

Mr. WILBERFORCE said, if Irondon was ex-

Mr. LOCKHART wondered how the City of
London, so zealous for the detection of abuses of all

Mr. WROTTESLEY approved of the Bill.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was only calcula-
ted to put money in the pockets of those who were
to register the donations.
Mr. THOMPSON said that expence could not
be great.
the Hon. Mr. HERBERT wished to move as
an amendment, that Royal Hospitals ought not to
be excluded from the Bill.

be a question for his Majesty's Government, who,
thor the Orders in Council might not be persevered
in for causes independent of the distress occasioned.
As to the method adopted, of giving satisfaction
the country being considered an insult, he did not
know how he could have behaved more respectfully.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that the Right Hon.
Gentleman ought by tio means to anne himself
his having behaved so decorously to 'um country'
granting this Committee, for the fact was, that
was compelled into it. He was quite aware that I
Right Honourable Gentleman was determined
,pursue his system irf despite of the result of this
quiry, and that system would inevitably lead ,
war with America. He hoped, however, as the Right'
Honourable Gentleman had been driven into the Coat.
mittee he would by the same power be driven out a
his system altogether.
Sir T. TURTON explained, by-saying that all he
meant was this, if the Right Honourable Gentleman
(Mr. Percegal) and his Friends went into the. Com.
mittee. wit a predetermined resolution, whatever
might be the nature of the evidence,.not to grant re.
lief, the effect of this would be to trifle with the feel-
ings of the public.
Mr. WILBERFORCE declared his satisfaction
that the House was going into an enquiry, that ic
might be ascertained what was the extent and origin
of the distresses of the people.
Mr. BROUGHAM trusted Gentlemen would go
into this Committee without any bias either way, as
it would be preposterous to go into the enqufry with
a predeterminaticia not to be convinced ; and he de.
Glared he should go into the enquiry with a mind
open to attend to the arguments both for and against
the measure.
After a few words from colonel DtTertr, the
House went into a Committee—Mr. BADS:NGIOX it
the Chair.
Mr. Thema: Atwood, High Bailiff for Birmingham,
was called in, and examined by Mr. llnoucitam.
He stated, that the iron trade about Birmingham,
in all its branches, had sunk into great'elecay, parti.
calarly within the last twelve months ; that numbers
of wo.kmen were dismissed, and that wages had foh
len in the proportion of 20s. to 12s. ;• that the trade
with America, which had continu:d after all other
trade was extinguished, had now also, within the last
year, utterly stopped, and the warehouses were fullof
goods without a market to send them to—that the
distress consequent on this was vcrygreat. The gross
Amount of the manufactures of Bir mtngham, he stated
at about C 2,090,000, or 82,800,000 ; JEW/O,OM of
t‘hich were annually sent to America, until the
of February, 1811, when that exportation totally
ceased. America, within these four years, had also
established manufactures of nails and of steel, and
there was no probability that she Iltould take again
those articles from us. On Vie whole, he supposed
that one third of the workmen must be dismissed..
and the rest employed at half wages.
This witness was principally examined by .Mr,
STEPHEN ; but some questions were also put to hint
by Mr.. hitbread, the Chancellor of the Exchequer;
Mr. A. Baring, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Lyttletca,
and Mr. Brougham ; after which, he was ordered*
withdraw. •
The second person called to give evidence me
Mr. William 10;iteigad, a master manufacturer in do
town of Birmingham ; his examination wai coin-
mowed by Mr. Snow:mast, who was succeeded by
Messrs. Rose and STEPII¢N.
The examination of this witness having bees ccia-
concluded, the House resumed, and the further pot
ceedings of .the Committee were adjourned till to.

Mr. BROUGHAM expressed a wish that a does.

was particularly necessary, as the inquiry had heat
begun, that this paper should be produced. It was
an accouni.of the exports oiGreatßritain to all pent
of the world, for a certain period, distinguishing the
exports to each country. This was exactly the sama
document, which, until within the two last yeas,had
been annually laid on the table. It the Right Ho
Gentlemaa opposite conceived that danger wOal4
arise from so detailed an account, be miut
those items which he considered objectionable; but
to refuse the document, ix too, which was so neces-
sary to direct many questions which must be pat to
witnesses as to their trade with different places, wealci,
seem to indicate an opposition to the object of tae
Committee. He hoped he would turn the matter to
his mind, and give an answer to-morrow.

ORDERS TN COUNCIL.
When we re-entered the Gallery we found the
SPEAKER putting the question upon the motion of
Mr. STEPHEN, dint all the retitions favourable to the
Orders in Council should be referred to the same
Committee.

Lord STANLEY signified his assent.
Mr. WHITBREAD said, that as soon as that
question was disposed of, he should move that all
the Petitions which had been presented respecting
the present distresses of the country and the general
stagnation of trade,. should be referred to the same
Committee. _ _

Mr. BROUGHAM thought the words of the
motion only calculated to mislead : for he believed
only one Petition in favour of the Orders in Council
had been presented, and therefore to talk of ALL the
Petitions WAS a mere illusion.

Mr. STEPHEN said, he was not aware, when he
made the motion, that there had been only one Peti-
tion in favour of the Orders in Council ; that one,
however, was signed by at least four-fifths of the
merchants and manufacturers of Glasgow, and it
had the honour, also, of being the only one that was
presented on the right side of the question—(a laugh).
He should propose, however, to substitute " z Pe-
tition of the Merchants and Manufacturers of Glas-
gow," instead of " all the Petitions."
Mr. BROUGHAM suggested the words. 4( any
Petition."

. Mr. STEPHEN said, he was certain that if the
country thought it was the intention of the Com-
mittee to repeal the Orders in Culincil, their table
would be loaded with Petitions against
such re-
peal—(a laugh).
The Petition was then ordered to be referred to the
same Committee.

Mr.WHITI3READ moved, that all the Petitions
which had been presented respecting the general (lit.-
tiesses of the country, should be referred to the same
Committee.—Ordered.

AMERICAN PAPERS.
Mr. VVHITAREAD said, betore the House went
into a Committee, he wished to ask the Noble Lord
whether Mr. RYLAND was now in this country? He
wished to know this circumstance previous to bring-
ing forward his motion on the subject, of, Irtnerican
,Papers on Friday.
Lord CASTLEREAGH replied, that by mere
.accident he had heard•that Mr. RYLAND was now in
Amei ica.

EXAMIpTION OF•WITNESSES IN THE COMMITTEE.
The SPEAKER informed the House that it was
his duty to submit to them the question, before
going into the Committee, whether 'witnesses should
be examine:, who might happen to have been within
the hearing of the examination of previous witnesses.
He thought it necessary to know the pleasure of the
House upon this subject for the regulation of his own
conduct : at the same time he should state, that the
general rule of the House was, that no witness could
be examined who had heard the examination of other

witnesses.
After some conversation between Mr. BROUGIIANI,
Lord STANLEY, Mr.TIEKNEY, Mr. RYDER, au I Mr.
BATHURST, the SPEAKER signified to the House that
he should leave the question as it was, till some case
arose in the course ot examination to which exception
might be taken, and he should then collect the sense
of the Houst upon it.
The Order of the Day being read for the House
.resolving itself into a Committee, the question was
pus, that the Speaker should leave the Chair, when
Sir 'l'. TURTON wished to know .what was the
real intention of Ministers, in going into this Comtnit-
tee,
and examining evidence. After reading the de-
claration lately published, by Ministers, oeclaring
that they would not abandon the Orders jn Council,.
if they meant to adhere to that declaration, the going
into a Committee, and examining evidence, was ad:
ding insult to injury.
Mr. ROSE explained, in his speech of last.night,
.a passage which at appeared was misunderstood.—
Ail he said, with respect to the future contitt-t of
America was, that it was extremely doubtful
wlte-
ther she would be satisfied with the Repeal of the
Orders in Council.
Mr. STEPHEN said, the Honourabh Batt. had
alluded to the Declaration of the Governance, and
said, alter such a Declaration, it would be impossible
to repeal the Orders in Council, and therefore it was
adding insult to injury to go into a Committee. On
this subject he felt different. One of the objects of
the Committee was to ascertain whether the %hares.
ses of the people arose from the operation of the Or-
ders in Council, If it shOuld appear that they were
so, he could see nothing to prevent the Prince Regent
'from departing from the terms ot that Declaration.
The CHANCELLOR of' the EXCHEQUER
rose to repel the attack made by the Honourable Ba-
ronet upon him. The Hon. Baronet said that it would
be nut only illusory, but insulting, to go into a Com-
mittee!• unless it was determined to repeal the Orders
in Council, in case the inquiry went, aping them-y—
-/40w he wished it to'be understood on this point.—
The purpose of the inquiry was, as be conceived it,
V) inquire into ttle fact, whether the prey= distress
