HASTINGS.

The winter season here has been unusually gay,
id, in-point of company, has far exceeded in num.:.;
2rs and fashion, any we have hitherto had to boast.'
The weather which has prevailed for several months,
'lough less propitious than it has been known in this
lace for many years, has, nevertheless, compared
ith the severity experienced elsewhere, been mild in
to extreme. Many of bur days literally presented
with the full glow of summer ; the thermometer
was in no instance below 30, nor did our greatest visi-
Ition of snow at any time lie deeper than the shoe.
During the winter we have frequently beheld
assemblage of beauty and fashion grace our pa-
ide, while tie gay promenade was usually enlivened
y the admirable perlormances of the band of the 3d
`.egiment, or Buffs, in front of the Marine Library.
'bus while London, and afsnost the whole kingdom,
as envel Ted in fog, or visited by the most intense
Iccession of frost and snow, Hastings presented the

_
are appearance of the mildest Autumn, or the most
temperate Spring. This decided pre-eminence, and
Aditional proof, if any were wanting, of the excel-
lence of Hastings as a winter residence, has obtained
)1. it an• increased degree of popularity.
A.Tr.org the
.numerous and distinguished visitors
who have .lionoured Hastings with their residence
luring the winter, we notice the following :

Leitrim., the Ladies Elizabeth, Anne, and Louisa Clements, he

C1V.1}.5 LIBERTY--IMPRISONMENT ON MESNE
PROCESS. • .
Earl, TANHOPE said, he *rose to present four
Petitions, which he considered of very great import-
ance, because they related to the very important sub-
ject of Civil Liberty. There were, he knew, many
persons in-this country, who were riot friendly to po-
litical liberty. With these persons he differed mos;
strongly iti opinion. Th: re were others who again
were hostile to the enjoyment of religii,u. lib r y, and
to them he was as much opp .sed. But he had neve:,
met a man in the whole course t f cis life, who pos-
sessed audacity enough to .avow himself openly an
enemy to Civ it Libt-ity.. He oohed, Oerefore, the
Petitions which he held iii hii hand, complaining of
infringemeats of Personal Liber:y, would be receive
ed on all sides of the, Ht.use, pot t nly with indul-
gence, but with favour. '1414e House did not need
to be.tilti, that by the 29th, and in his opinion the
best chapter of Magna Charta, it was provided that
no one should be condemned eithout trial, and that
jtistice.should not be 'veld. or delayed. By the law
relating to Mesne Process, however, 4 man by faiv
swearing might procure the imprisonment of 'any
person. Was not Alai condemning a man without
u Lai ? All their Lordships mug-know so much of
the laws of their country. ja,tly to appreciate tile
29th cleapt,r of Magna Charts, thentbst pregious p tit
Of this Statute, provided ats a bulviaric list

should be coildemied without trial, that 'st :c
all thoulot be sold, denied, or delayed. 44 My Lords,

,

.said Earl Stanhope) is notorious that justice is
sold in this country. I. di) hot mean to say that it is
sold by the Judges ; but such are the fees and ex-
penses to be paid for its administration, .that it is im-
possible for a certain description of -the community
to become possessed of it; and if the sellers are per.
mitted to put such a price as to exceed the means of
purchase amongst certain classes of his Majesty's
"stabjects, the result will amount to a denial of justice
to those who are placed in that situation. With re.
spect to delay, it is not necessary to remind your
Lordships of what daily comes under our observa-
tion. Perhaps that delay may be the effect of neces-
sity; but, while it exists it becomes ouresei ious consi-
deration to provide such means as to rid our laws of
injustice so great, and oppression so monstrous."—
The first Petition which he had to prcsant was from
a Matthew Baillie Tenant, who had been imprisoned
without owing any debt whatever, and kept in con-
finement for sixteen months, from time to time. The
Petition had been drawn up according to the opinion
of Counsei.—The second of these Petitions was from
Waltcr James Baldwin, who had been eleven months
confined, without any ground whateVer ; and then
another fortnight after he was ordered to be set at
liberty, having obtiined a judgment of the Court of
K,inta's Bench in his favour. Against the grievance.
of keeping a man in prison without any right, and
then a fortnight afterwards discharging him, some
redress ought undoubtedly to be afforded.—The third
Petition was from a prix iner for debt in the King's
Bench Ptison, who had applied to the Magistrates
of the Thames Police Office, for a warrant to search
for certain goods, and the event justified the appli-
cation. The Petitioner had been twice arrested for
the purpose of preventing his appearance as a witness,
' and it had been stated by the person who arrested
him the second time, that he was gone abroad.—The
fourth Petition was from a person who had been li-
berated and then dragged back to prison, although
he was afterwards set at liberty, which was an
ac-
knowledgment that the- act was unjust.—All these
Petitions set forth the same thing, the grievance of
Imprisonment on Mesne Process. The arguments
which he had heard urged in favour of this step he
considered as futile. It was said that it promoted
credit: but it was a great error to suppose that such
facility of credit was beneficial to a country, The
grievance, however, now complained of; was most
manifest, and ought to be redressed. A man, by
swearing through thick and thin, might procure a
man to be imprisoned, and afterwards run-, off to
America. The only motion he should now make was,
that the Petitions do lie on the table.—Agreed to.
ADJOURNMENT.
The House, on the motion of the Earl of LIVER-
POOL, adjourned to Tuesday se'nnight.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Mr. DELAVAUX from the Commissioners of Custom,, pre-
sented an estimate of the expence of Building a new Custom-house
in the City of London.—Ordered to lie on the Table.
Mr. BANKES moved, that the Account of the Net Produce,
of the several Taxes in Ireland, laid before the-House on the 21st
of March last, by printed.—Ordered.
Mr. Alderman COMBE moved for, and obtained leave to
!-.ring in a bill for forming a new Street from Cheapside through
Sr. Martin's-le-Grand to Aidersgate ; and to empower the Cor-
poration of London to raise money for carrying the said improve-
ment into effect.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY brought in a Bill to make the free-
hold Estmes of persons deceased answerable for simple contract•
debts.—Read the first, and ordered to be read the second time,
on Monday, the 25th inst.
Mr. Alderman ATKINS obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
amend the Act for regulating the trade of Bakers in the City of
London, and for extending the provisions thereof to all places,
within ten miles of the Royal Exchange.
Mr. ATKINS shortly afterwards brought in the Bill, which
was read the first, and ordered to be read the second time on the
22d of May, and to be printed. •
On the motion of Mr. BLACKBURNE a new writ was or-
dered to be issued for the Borough of Newton, in the County of
Lancaster, for a Burgess to serve in Parliament, in the room of
General Heron.
On the motion of Mr. ROSE, the Mad-house Bill was read
the second time, committed, the Report received, and ordered
to be taken into further consideration on Monday; the 25th inst.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, "That
there be laid before the House a Report, drawn up by the Com-
missioners of Roads and Bridges in Scotland, stating the nun)-
ber of new Roads recently made in that country, and whether
wholly or in part at the public expence."
The motion was agreed to, and Mr. LUSHINGTON imme-
diately presented the Report.--brdered to lie on the table.
Tae Report of the Cochineal and Indigo Bill was brought up,
and the Bill ordered to be read the 3d time on the 18th instant.
APPRENTICE LAWS.
Mr. H. DAVIS presented a Petition from certain
Master Manufacturers of the city of Bristol, praying
that so much of the Act of the sth of Elizabeth, cap.
4, as inflicted penalties on persons exercising trades,
to which they had not served regtilar apprenticeships,
should be repealed.—Ordered to lie on the table. _
Mr. P. MOORE presented a Peti ion from the
Manufacturers of Coventry, praying that that part of
the sth of Elizabeth, cap. 4, which inflicted penal-
ties on persons exercising trades to which they had
not served regular apprenticeships, should be render-
ed efficient. He should rarely move that the pe-
tition do lie on the table ;" but, before he sat down,
he wished to enquire of the Learned Gentleman (Mr.
Serjeant Onslow) who had given notice of his inten-
tion to introduce. a Bill on the subject, whether he
meant, in his proposed measure, to confine himself'
M •rely to the r. peal cf that part of the sth of Eliza-
be.h which sanctioned those penalties, or to do away
with the Act altogether ? He also wished to know,
whether the Learned Gentleman intended to push his
Bill through the different ages, in the present Ses-
sion, or, having int; oduced it, to let it lie over till the
next ? In his opinion, a Committee ought to be ap-
pointed, in the tirsilliatance, to examine the whole of
the Ptaitions th 4 had been presented relative to the
sth of Elizabeth,. and also to look into the provisions'
of that Act.
M. Se ejeant ONSLOW said, most unquestionably
he did not mean to go beyond the terms of his no-
tice, in the measure he should introduce. He hid
stated, explicitly, the part of the Att he wished to
have repealed, and he had not since altered his deter-
mination. Wi h respect to the second point of the
Honourable Gentkman's interrogatory,---“ Whether
he intended to hurry the Bill through tht House ?
he would answer, that he certainly did not. But the
,H( pourable Gentleman seemed to forget that the
.prevent period was, virtually, almost commence-
ment of the Session,.and that very important business
was yet to come on. He (Serjeint Onslow) undoubt-
edly did wish to have the sense of, the House taken
pn the Bill before the Session termina,ed. And this,
he thought, could a dodo wi lout any imputation of
hurry. In the last Session (he Treasurer of the Navy
(Mr. Rose) had presented a. Petition from a great

number of persons who were desirous that the penal-
ties should be contintred e. and moved for a Commit-
tee to investigate the allegations of the Petitioners. A
Committee was granted—it sat from day to day—
and the evidence adducedbefore it was printed. He
(Serjeant Onslow) inquired of that Right Honoura-
ble Gentleman, whether he intended. to found _any
motion on this evidence ? And, understanding that he
did not, he stated, at the close of the last Session, that
he would himself submit a motion on the subject.
Soon :tier Parliament met he gave notice of a mo-
tion for the 20th of November • bilt, in consequence
of a number of Gentlemen, V;ho represented large
manufacturing districts, particularly the Honourable
Member for Yorkshire, not being then in town, he
postponed it till the 2'2d of February, and had finally
put it off till the 27th of the present month—know-
ing that a call of the House would take place before
that period, which. would ensure a full attendance
when the proposed measure came to be discussed.
Teat the country was not unprepared for it was evi-
dent from the numerous Petitions which had been pre-
sented in favour of it. Petitions of that nature had
been received from Leeds, 'Birmingham, Hudders-
field, Bristol, and many other populous neighbour-
hoods. Several Petitions had also been presented
against it. How they were procured he did not know.
But the language in all of them appeared very nearly
the same. With respect to the principal trade car-
ried on by the Constituents of the Honourable Gen-
tleman it will not be at all affected by the new Bill,
because it was already guarded by a variety of en-
actments, totally independent of the sth of Eliza-
beth.
Mr. P. MOORE said it was very true that his con-
stituents (tl.e Freemen of Coventry) were obliged by
Act of Parliament, to serve a regular apprenticeshi,p,.
before they could carry on the besiness alluded. to by -
the Learned Gentlern in. Now, they were .alarmel,
lest, by the proposed Bill, they should be deprived of
a right which they had long enjoyed. They there-
fore were anxious that the Bill should not be hurried
sudden:3,- through the House.
The Petition was ordered to lie on the table.
EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved, " That there be
laid before the House a return of the quantity and
value, so far as the same can be made out, of manu-
factured cotton, new and old drapery, wrought
iron, &c. exported from England, during the year
ending the sth of January. last, distinguishing the
-4s. exported to Ireland, froth those sent to foreign

countries."
The CHANCELLOR of the EUREQU'ER
said, he could have no objection to the production of
the account moved for ; but he feared, in consequence
of the calamitous event that had lately taken place
at the Custom-House, it could not be brought down
to so late a period as the Hon. Baronet wished.
The motion was then agreed to.
CRIMINAL LAW.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT gave notice, that he
would, soon after the Easter recess, introduce a Bill
for the better detection, and more speedy conviction,
of persons charged with the crime of murder in Ire-
land. He begged to observe, that he would, on that
occasion, call the attention of the House to a known
and established principle of the Constitution.
COLONIAL OFFICES' BILL.

Mr. CREEVEY expressed his desire, preparatory I
to the intended discussion on the above Bill, to have
some farther documents laid before the House, to the ,
production of which he thought there could be no
objection. It appeared, he observed, that there were
five or six reversions of offices in the islands of Ja.
maica and St. Vincent's granted, he believed, to two
of the sons of Sir Evan Nepean, to gir. Desborouillt,
Mr. R. Cumberland, and Mr. Keene, jun. Of these
he wished to have. an account. The papers-he before
moved for informed him, that Sir Evan Nepean held
his situation on condition of residing in the West In-
dies, which he had not done. He was, therefore,
anxious that a copy of every lease of absence grant-
ed to Sir Evan Nepean should also be laid before the
House. He then moved,
" That an humble Address be presented to the Prince Regent,
praying that there he laid before the House, copies of the diffe-
rent instruments under which certain reversions to offices, in the
islands of Jamaica and St. Vincent's, were granted to Messrs, Ne-
pean,. Desborough, Cumberlando and Keene." :Ind next,
" That a similar Address should be presented, praying that co-
pies be laid before the House, of any leave of abseoce which had
been granted by the Governor and Council of Lunaica, to Sir
Evan Nepean, &c.--Both mo:ions were agreed to.
ADJOUItNhIENT OF THE HOUSE.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that, as they were then almost on the eve of the
holidays, and as there was no business of importance ,
before the House, he did not think there was any ne-
cessity for prefacing the motion of adjournment, of
which he had given notice on the preceding evening,
and which was peciectly in unison with the ordinary
proceedings of the House, with any observations.—
He then moved—,, That this House do, on its rising,
adjourn to Monday se'nnight."
Mr. WHITBREAD felt it hisduty to take notice
of the manner in which the Right Hon. Gentleman
had proposed his motion. The present, it was true,
was a very unusual Session; the recesses had already
been very long ; and they.had been proposed at most
extraordinary periods. But these were circumstances
that could not justify the Right Hon. Gentleman in
thinking, that the proposed adjournment was a mere
matter of course. It seemed to him that the Right
Hon. Gentleman acted somewhat disrespectfully to
the House, in •not informing them why they were
then called on to adjourn to a period not, in his opi-
nion, very common ; because it was by no means
unusual for that House, as the Right Hon. Gentle-
man's Parliamentary knowledge must suggest, to
met on the Wednesday in Easter week. Now, he
could conceive, that the absence of .a Noble Lord
(Castlereagh)—the want of time to arrange 0-
cuments received by Gosvernm&t—or the
tion of events of great importance (on
wnuld not offer an observation).---might

The CHANCELLQR. of the EXCH.
said, he was certainly not conscious ot' an,

respect for the House, in proposing an adjournment
which was usual, and in which the convenience of
Members was consulted.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon.
Gentleman
.(Mr. Whitbread) had himself assigned a
powerful reastiti, if such were necessary, for the ad.
journment in question, or even for a longer adjourn.
.tnenta if slat, interesu of. the .public required it.
Is
had always been customary at this season of the year
to propose such an adjournment as that which he had
suggested, unless public business of a paramount na-
ture required the House to meet at an earlier period,
and as there was no such inducement for., departing
from an almost uniform practice, he (lid not think it
was necessary to enter into any particular explanation.
Mr. WHITBREAD had said distinctly, that he
did pot mean to oppbse the adjournment, and bed
only objected to the manner in which it had been pre.
posed by his Majesty's Ministers. •
SPIRITS IS!TERCOUILSE.
The dHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER •
rose, in pursuance of his motion fur the renewal of
the Committee whicb sat in 1809, to inquire into the
intercourse of spirits between Great Britain and Ire-
land., Since that Committee had been appointed, re. •
peated Acts had been passed to prevent the inter-
course between the two countries, and as it now became
desirable that the subject should tie brought to some
arrangement advantageous to both countries, as a
preparatory step to that proceeding, he begged leave
to move—
" That a Cermtnittee should be appointed tainquire•into the
regulations which govern the Drawbacks and Countervailing Dn-
ON on Spirits, exported and imported to and from this country
and Ireland, with a view of estitlisbing the intercourse upon
terms of reciprocity required by the Articles of the Union be-
tween England and Ireland."
Sir JOHN NEWPORT wx.; extremely desirous.
that the pQmmittee now proposed to be appointed
should examine the question for their consideration
fairly, end. with a determination to come to some cer•
tarn regnlation upon this important subject, as nothing
was so improper as the temporary Acts which had
hbeen passed, and which were in direct violation of the
first-principles of the Act of Union. it was ex-
tremely impolitic always to be looking solely to the
present moment, without paying any regard to futu-
rity. With respect to the niotien of the Right Hon.
Gentleman, it was not his intention to oppose It's but
he did apprehend, that the object in view would be

Committee iveYe not of a netnre.se general as those
contained in the moti en The inconveniences of such

deliGerations of the last Committee, which had never

quence of the variety of matters by which the atten-
tion of its Members had been distracted. He thoUght

countries, and with that view, he begged to suggest
to the Right ann. Gentleman the expediency of so
wording his motion(
Mr. W. FITZGERALD said, that there was ll*
wish on the part-of nis•Mejesty's Government, that
the Committee. should direct their attention to an/
other point than that in Which the two countries were
particularly interested.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, that as long as the
instructions to the Committee were so generals it
would be in the power of any Member to bring for-
ward the discussion of any collateral branch eoanec-
ted with the spirit intercourse of the two countriee,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
had no wish that the Committee should go further
then the Hon. Baronet thought necessary, and had
formed his nation merely with a view of letting it be
, understood, that the Committee was similar to that
appointed on a former occasion.
The question was then put and carried.
Among other Members nominated to the, Corset
mittee were the Chancellor ot the Exchequer, Sir J.
Newport,. Mr. Peele, Mr. Huskisscn, Mr. W. Fitz-
gerald, Sir H. Parnell, Mr. W. Dundas, Mr. Long,
Mr. Marriott, Mr. D. Giddy, Colonel Barry, Sir
George. Hill, Mr. W. Pole, Lord A. Hamilton, Mr.
Robert Slity.v, Mr. Benjamin Shaw, and Mr. Isle.
POPULATION OF IRELAND.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT wished to be infernied.

of Parliament which passed in a former &:.ssion,
an
account of the Population of lrelend

they were utterly unfit to he lei(' on tite table of the

in any returns whatever, while other: were of so in-
correct a nature, that they were wholly unsatisfac-
tory. He had, however, since written to the Judges,
and to the Foremen of -the Grand Juries of different
Counties, and was in hopes that by the next Session
such :returns would be made as would meet the
wishes of the House.
Sir J. NEWPORT expressed himself satisfied
with this explanation.
