CON PKti SATION RI I. L.

On the motion fur going into a Committee on the
Civil Services Compensation Bill,
Mr. CALCRAFF said; her did not approve of
this measure, but he was of opinion that they must
make this sacrifice in order to get rid of these sinecures,
which had become so odious in the country.
Mr. BOSW ELL opposed the Bill, as he considered
sinecure offices to give the Crown less influence over
the holders of them, than my other rewards that
could be bestowed on those who had served the pub.
lie. He could not admit, because there had been a
misapplication of them, in some instances, that the
offices in question ought to be totally abolished. He
would rather that the Civil List should be reduced,
or that the emoluments of these offices should be di-
minished, than that they should be done away quite.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, it would be quite-
enough to say that sinecure places having become so
odious in the country, that, they must cease to be
considered as honourable rewards for public services.
. The House then went into' a Committee oft the
Bill, in which several verbal amendments were moved
by Mr. CALCRAFT. Mr. LAW, and Mr. GORDON, all
of which were negatived without division.—The Bill
was then ordered to be reported on Tuesday neat.

COLONIAL ACTS.

Mr. GOULBURN brought up certain Colonial
Acts by order-of the House.—The Honourable Gen-
tleman said, it would be his duty to move, at some
period previous to the conclusion of the present Ses-
sion', that these books be returned to the place where
they had,, up to this time, been deposited. In that
place they formed a book of reference at all times
most useful and important to the Public. He had
to apologise," that these books had not been placed
before the House at an earlier period ; but he could
not sooner get them collected.
Mr. W. SMITH' did not intend to oppose the
return of these books to the Colonial Office at the
end of the Session; though he thought the proposi-
tion of the Honourable Gentleman would have come
with a better grace if he had laid them before the
House at an earlier period of the Session.

'II' T HES

The Tythes Leasing Bill was re-committed.
Mr. W. COURTENAY moved a cruse that all
persons holding tythe farms should be allowed to
grant leases of them.
Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY approved of the
amendment. There was one great evil attending
tythes, which was, that there is no limitation to the
Suing of tythes since the reign of Richavd I. That
was a most unfortunate thing for Clergymen them-
selves, as it involved many of them in ruin by 'trying
to establish aright of tythe &rim time immemorial.
The amendment was negatived without a division.
Colonel W 001) moved that the term tythe
leasing should be 14 years insteactot 10 years, as pic)-
.
poted.by the Bill.
Sir J. NEWPORT thought this particularly ne-
cessity in Ikelansi, to prevent any bet v.ec 12 the.

Clergy of the nt:thlished Church, and a peatanvy
of a different religion. For which purpose, he mnvoj
the term of tythe leases in Ireland should be matt:.
one years._____

Sir W. SCOTT said, the subject had been can.
vaned on.both sides with respect to this country ;
the result was, that 10 years was the time fixed on.
Sir J. NEWPORT was quite convinced that
want a,f the fixed rate occasioned great c.A.%.,,i1
among all parties, and was the cause of grea: evil i-,
Ireland.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday last arrived this
morning.

The scarcity of provisions has given rise to very
serious disorders at Sens, Nugent, and in different
communes of the department of the Seine and NiArne.
The public functionaries have, however, suttee:kJ
ie repressing them. and in this they are said to have
derived much assistance from the support at the
officers on half-pay, who every where rallied around
them.—The Juurnals sr: very particular in nn:icir.7,

STATE OP IRELAND.

Mr. FITZGERALI) moved. that the SPEAKER
should issue warrant for the election of a Ihrgess
to serve in Parliament for Chippenhani, in the room
of the Right Hon. R. Peel, *no since his election
has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Mr. PONSONISY said, Irani the motion just put
from the Chair, he perceived it was not
.likely the
Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Peel) would be
in the House foe some days. He Termed it, as be
had a most important question to put on the state of
Leland, which imperious circumstances would no
longer allow him to retrain from alluding tot he
meant the.present distressed state of that country.. in
consequence of a scarcity of food. No person who
had not witnessed it, could conceive Ivw great the
distress at present existing in consequence of the scar-
city in that safortunate country, was. He untested

the attention of Government to the subject. He kne w
not how far relief could be extended to Ireland ; bet
he considered, that by encouraging the importation
of rice, the Government would, as effectually as pos-
sible, alleviate the evil.

Lord CASTLEREAGH assured the Right Ho.
nourable Gentleman, that the attention of his Right
Honourable Friend had already been given to this
subject; that encouragement bad been given to the
importation of rice into Ireland, and every other pos-
sible step had been taken to lighten, as far as pos-
sible, the difficulties under avhich Ireland at present
labaured.—The new writ was then ordered.
London, England, 1817-06-07

locTaNrs IN AID.

Mr. W. SMITH stated, that he had a Petition to
present from a person named Evelyn, a farmer and
cattle-dealer, at Waltham, complaining of the hard-
ships and injustice which he had experienced, in con-
sequence of an Extent in Aid having been obtained
against him, at the suit of Messrs. Bignolds, bank.•rs,
at Norwich. In consequence of the authority which
Messrs Bignolds had obtained by this Writ of Extent,
they had seised all the Petitioner's property, and he
had himself been confined a prisoner, for upwards of
a year, in Chelmsford gaol. The pica upon which
Messrs. Bignolds had obtained this Extent in Aid
was, that they were Secretaries to a Society called
the Norwich Union Assurance, and, in that charac-
ter, were liable to the Crown for certain duties ; and
of this circumstance blesses. Bignold had taken ad-'
vantage to obtain an Extent in Aid, and utterly ruin
the unfortunate Petitioner, a man upwards of GO years
of age. After urging the hardship of the Petitioner's
case, the Honourable Member concluded by moving
that the Petition be read, which was read accordingly.
Mr. PROTHEROE expressed his hopes, that the
consideration of the question of Extents in Aid, would
not be delayed longer than was absolutely necessary.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought it was impossible
to devise a system more pregnant with fraud than
that of Extents in Aid, as now exercised. It was
desirable that the revenue of the Crown should be se-
cured, but it ought not to be secured by a system
pregnant with ruin and oppression to the subject.
The system was spreading. Previous to last year the
'power of Extent in Aid had never been exercised in
Ireland, but last year it was introduced. He was
sorry to see that the abuse of this power by
indivi-
duals did not make that impression on the servants of
the Crown which it ought to do.
' The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
considered it highly desirable that this subject should
be investigated. He was as anxious as any man could
be to preserve the just rights of the Crown, and at
the same time to protect the property of the subject.
Mr. W. SMITH moved that the Petition should
be printed, which was ordered.
Mr. WARRE then moved for an account of the
number of persons employed in the offices of Auditor
and Tell -r of the Exchequer, Clerk of the Pelts,
Warden of the Cinque Ports, and various other offices,
on the sth of January, 1817, and the amount of their
salaries and emoluments at that period.
After a few words from the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHiQUER. Mr. HUMISSON, Lord CASTLRREACM,
and Sir J. NEWPORT, the motion was agreed to.

The following is a copy of the statement wikti
three of the Jurors desired to annex to their •erdi:t,
in consequence of the answer to a question p..:t to t!.e
Learned Judge:

" As truth k declared by the law of the land to be a ;:b, 1, we
three ate compelled to Gud the Defendant Guilty.

" JOHN TA rHAM.
" JOHN WARD.
" J. ADDENLI.I."."

These Gentlemen declare, that before they left the
Jury-room, it was agreed between them and the Fore.
man, with their brother Jurors. that in c se the above
statement should not be received and record :d Ly the
Judge, the Jury should return to the Jury.room to
reconsider their verdict. To this fact these Gentle-
men have, we understand, made affidavit, upon which
affidavit, with the other circumstances connected with
this extraordinary case, Mr. CHITTY'S motion wilt, it
is said, be founded.
The Foreman, by some circumstance or other, was
prevented from delivering the special verdict agreed 67
Ly his brothers, and the coestion therefore is, whether,
as the Jury did nit find the delenciotat :gay, he does
not stand actually acquitted ? The Learned Jodr:c
might, as Lord KENYON di.! in t!lts case of
ing Chronicle, in 1793, have sent the Jury back t• ,c.

KMT DEAR Loan—l think TOOT Lordship may be desirous
of knowing whether there will be muck business immediately
after Easter; and I therefore take the liberty of recalling to your
secollection, that several notices have been given for motions by
the Opposition ; and I also wish to observe to you, that the vs-
"loos Estimates for the year are still to be voted. With these,
and ether important subjects, the House will be constantly seen•
pled; and there is reason to be certain, that, from the first day
of meeting after the Holidays, the ftlends of the Opposition will
be very regular in their attendance.✓-I have the honour," &c.

following are extracts:—

Nothing is yet decided respecting the aceiptance
or non-acceptance of the Plan of a Constitution laid
by the King before the States. The only subject
-ef the deliberations hitherto tas been the forms of the
future debates on the plan. It is expected that the
public Sittings, which will soot commence, will be
very numerously attended.
The King has allotted several'oethe bears, wolves,

ROYAL mniTurioN.

Professor &ANIL delivered on Saturday his first of
a coorse,of Lectures on the fine Art of Architei rote.
.There was a most splendid assemblage of the Nobilit y
and Gentry, members of and subscribers to the Royal
Institution, present on the occasion I and on none of
the many valuable Lectures delivered at these Rooms
were the amateurs of art and science more highly gra-
tified. The impression which the Puorrssou's Course
of Lectures at the Royal Academy had previously
made on the Students had excited an anxious desire
in the Fashionable Circles to wi:ticss the rx7iibltiori of
the magnificent drawi:4is which Mr SOANP had pre-
pared, and to hear the itlusttations of each ar p.rf•sea-
ted to the view. The collection of draw ings is indeed
most valuable. They consist of a selies from the first
rude huts of the earliest age to the most sublime and
highly finished monuments of the most polished time.
The Paoresson, in his lacctnre, gave a rapid hot
clear and elegant description of the progress of the
delightful art, through its first imperfect efforts a:.
demanded by human necessity, for selter from tl:e
'elements, to its most gorgeous and magnificent
achievements for pomp, refinement, national glory,
or as monuments of individual gratitudc :and face=
tion.—ln this instructive sketch the examples presented
to the eye, finished by the most coastaly hand, pits-
duced, as they could not fail to do, the happiest effect
in the way of enlightening the spectators.--6ince
every memorable edifice, of which history or reittry
furnishes enough to trace the • form where ati I
menu !Ave fallen a prey to tint:, as well as all
the beautiful monuments that remain; or that have
been fully described, were in due order of time arli

minds of the spectators an imperishable idea of their

most beautiful of our own works, such as St. Pant's

to come to the Allied Powers.

DRUSSEI.s. MARCH RR.
We learn from the Fi titer' frontiers that such large
Ilantisies of corn have arrived in the Northern ports
of the kingdom, as to cause a general deelitie in the
prices throughout Picardy and French Flanders, which
spreads universal joy and salstaction.
The merchants of Antwerp having applied to his
Majesiy, complaining of the Foil exacted horn ships
arriving there. a Tribunal of Commerce in that city
has been ordered to inquire into the affair. and has,
as it is said, found the complaint of the city in Ant-
werp aril founded, since this duty would be highly
detrimental t" ti,e mid.: of that city.
Mae( 28.—0 n the happy event of the baptism
of the young Prince, his Majesty had ordered the sum
of scxx.A lin. to be paid out of his private purse for
the relief of the poor.
The Alandat d' ilmene notified at the residence of the
B;slop of Ghent has hern authenticated by a Prates

The Bi.hop has left the Circle of Ghent, and is
now in that of Ypres. It seems that the judicial pro-
ceeding• against him will he contilaied:
The .b.urnal tit la Belgique of the 31st says :—" It is
affirtned that M. de Brogli Bishop of Ghent, has
quAted net only the city but the kingdom, and that
he has (1,•k1 to France."
Mautu 30.—The summonses issued to enforce the
payment of the enormous sums claimed from the
wine-merchants, have produced a wonderful effect in
favour of the Board cf Judicial Taxes. These pro-
secutions have so intimidated these merchants, that
din have mu rendered at discretion. They have signed
en obligaf to pay all the duties, according to the
Decree of 24411 November. 1816, begging the Board
to exempt them from the fine, or loom a part of it.
