LORD CLONCURRY'S DIVORCE BILL.
The order of the day was then read en this Bill, and the House
went into the Committee, in which the Earl of Jamas tot moved
the rejection of the clause prohibiting tke marriage of tbe adul-
terous parties.
The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the motion, as in-
'insistent with the recent practice of the House.
Earl GREY supported the rejection, and urged the general
improbability of the parties in such eases, both desiring to enter
into marriage, as there had not been any instance of such mat-
since the adoption of the standing order.
The Duke of NORFOLK was in favour of the clause; and
doubted the legality of suck a marriage as that between these
parties.
Earl STANHOPE spoke against the clause, as a species of ax
pest facto law.
The Duke of NORFOLK explained, and the House divided
—On the rejection of the clause—Contents 16, Non• Contents 8,

LOVEDEN'S DIVORCE SILL.
The House, then went into a Committee on this Bills—On tke
question of the standing order for the prohibitory elitist,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that this was tie very
sort of case which the prohibition had in view ; as hi was con-
vinced, under all the circumstances, that the object of ooe party
was to change the relationship of Mrs. Loveden, as Mr. Love-
den's wife, to that of wife to the adulterous party (Mr. Barker.)i
The Duke of CLARENCY hoped that there was no idea of
collusion, as it respected Mr. Loveden.
The LORDI CHANCELLOR explained, that he had not any
such thought. He would be the last person to insinuate such a
thing, unless he could support his opinion by some proofs. He
silw no reason, in this case, far such a suspicion. The clause was
then rejected without a division, and the Bill went through tke
Committen.-.Adjourned.

PZTITION 01 WILLIAM DODD.
Mr. SPIER tpAN said the case of this petition was one of such
extreme hardship, that it called loudly for redress. He bad car-
t ied ort business as a 4istiller at Ballinaeloon, la the County of
Westmeath, in Ireland, where his whole property was deitroyed
by a party of Militia acting under the orders of the Governmeht
of Ireland, on the most unfounded suspicions, There were cir-
eumstancee in this case which separated it from other applica-
tions for compensation hem Government, to which the consent
of his Majesty's Ministers was necessary. The petitioner states,
that be was promised full compensation by Lord Camden, for-
tnerly Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which compensation was af-
terwards, for some reason or other, thought proper to be refused.
He said, he should proceed to read the Petition, atter which, it
would be seen whrthyr it ought to lie on the table,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad no recollee-
tie)* of the case, and he thought it might have been proper to
have submitted the Petition to him before bringing it into Parlia-

Inent.
Mr. SHERMAN professed himself willing to wait till the
Petition should be taken Into consideration Isy the Right Hos.
Gentleman, aed accordingly withdrew it for the present.

The House having resolved itself into a Committee
of Ways and Means,

rose and said, that having entered into a contract that
m,,rning for a Loan for the service of the present year,
it became his duty to submit for the approbation of
the Committee the terms upon which he had nego-
eiated it, and which he trusted would appear to the
Committee highly advantageous to the public. But
before he should bring under the consideration of the
Committee, the terms upon which the loan had been
obtained, he felt it necessary, according to the ordi.

But before he should proceed farther with the enume-
ration of the items of Supply, he felt it necessary to
make one or two observations upon the subject of the
Sicilian subsidy, and to throw himself upon the in-
dulgence of the Committee for an inadvertent omis-
sion of which he had been guilty respecting that vote.
The Committee 'Would recollect, that when he pro-
posed the vote in the last Session for the Sicilian sub-
sidy, he founded his application not alone upon a
treaty then subsisting, but upon one at the time in a
state of progress, which, as soon as it shou'd be re-
ceived in this country, be pledged himself should be
laid before the House. That Treaty had been re-
ceived during the recess, and when he proposed the
vote on a former day for the Sicilian subsidy,:be
&Ought the treaty had been laid upon the table. It
was not till within a few days that he discovered his
mistake, and as he should be able within two or three
days to lay it before the House, he trusted he should
be pardoned for the unintentional omission of which he
.had been guilty.
The joint charge for the supplies which he had al-
ready enumerated was, as the Committee would re-
collect, 854,374,485.
The separate charge for Great Britain was for
Loyalty Loan, 1797, 113,416
Interest of gxeleguer Bills • 1,600,080
Total separate charge 1,713,416
Making in all a total charge of 56,021,869
If from this be deducted the sum of 86,569,000, there
will remain to be provided for the service of Great
Britain £49,452,869.
He came now to state the ways and means by
which he proposed to meet these various items of sup-
ply. The first article he should mention was the
amount of the annual taxes, which he took at the
usual sum, 83,000,000 • surplus of the produce et
the Consolidated Fund last year over its estimated
produce, £1,363,780 ; 'surplus of the Consolidated
Fund for the present year, estimated at £5,000,000.
Before he should go into explanations, he conceived
it would be desirable for him to state all the items,
after which he should take occasion to enter into a
detailed consideration of any articles which might
seem to require explanation. The War Taxes he
should take at 820,000,000 ; Lottery at 8300,000 ;
Exchequer Bills, part of the seven millions which had
been funded this Sessions, 84,000,000 ; the remaining
three millions not being to be re-issued, but to be set
against the vote of credit of last year ; the vote of
credit for the present year, £3,000.000 ; Loan in the
.5 per cent. stock, £4,981,300; in the 3 and 4 per
cents. 87,500,000 ; making together 812,481,30 a.
Naval Stores, 4.20,364 ; making a total of Ways mad
Means a 849,555,379 ; giving an ezcess Ways
a
above the supplies of the year.
He should now, with the permission of the Com-
mittee, proceed to state the grounds upon which he
was led to estimate the surplus of the Consolidated
Fund for the present year at five millions. The pro-
duce of the Consolidated Customs he had, upon an
average of the two preceding years, estimated at
8448,538, but they had actually produced 81-,987,391,
being an excess of the produce above the estimate'
of more than £500,000, Taking the two last years
average as the basis of his estimate for the present
year, he felt himself warranted in taking the pro-
duce of the Consolidated Customs at £5,000,000.—
The Consolidated Excise, upon the average of the
two preceding years, he had last year estimated at
£16,880,625 ; whereas, in point of fact, it had
produced 817,399,312; upon the average, then,
of the last two years, he felt justified in taking the
Excise for the present year at £17,167,000. In each
of these two items of the Consolidated Fund revenue
he estimated, according to the scale supplied by their
pmgressiveimprovement,an increase of full 13200,000.
fhe assessed taxes had produced last year 85,781,831,
and it could not be thought, therefore, too much to
estimate their produce in the present year at
85,800,000. The produce of the stamp duties he esti.
mated at £5,300,000, though it had actually in the
last year amounted to 85,302,000. And in this
place he trusted he should be allowed by the Com-
mittee to advert briefly to the circumstances which
took place last year, when he had submitted to the
House his view of the probable produce of these du-
ties. It would be recollected, that in consequence of
the very abundant increase which had taken place in
the produce oC these duties, particularly from some
additions and regulations which he had himself sug-
gested in a former sesstm, he was enabled to defray
the whole charge for the loan of the year without
having recourse to any new taxes, out of the excess
of these duties, without any reduction of their ordi-
nary amount. At the time he had submitted a pro-
position for that purpose, and submitted an estimate
of the probable produce of these duties, after defray-
ing the charge of the loan, he had been accused of
being too sanguine, and told that the increase in the
preceding year was an extraordinary excess, and
would not warrant any rational expectation that the
duties would continue to be equally productive in any
subsequent year. The estimate which he proposed
last year was £5,193,000, but the actual produce of
the duties amounted to 85.302,000, and with such
a confirmation of the propriety of his former estimate
`,and the steady productiveness of the stamp duties, he
boped he, should not be thought too sanguine in cal-
culating the produce for this year at £5,300,000.
The revenue of the Post-Office he had estimated
lest year at 81,276,000, this year be proposed to esti-
I-mate its produce at £1,280,000. But in passing, he
could not omit to notice the gradual and progressive
-improvement of this branch of the revenue. In the
fear ending the sth April, 1809, the Post-office re-
lose produced 81,083,600; in 1810, £1,194,060,
'mid in the year ending sth April, 1811, 81,276,000.
