yug Immo TAX.—The monied interest is looking
id much anxiety to see what substitute the Minister
ail have recourse to for that supply which it was
anticipated the Income Tax would produce ; he will,
no doubt have some difficulty in finding one. For
the wants of individuals, the mode of raising supplies
teas never rendered more facile than by the Scheme
of the New Lottery ; tha: it is so, and that the
Public are eager to profit by it, may be fairly in
'erred from the demand already found for Tickets
and Shares.
ati happy to learn, that a Bill now pending
in-
tended i
Parliament, by the Royal College of Surgeons, s
to put an end to that herd of advertising quacks
'4ll° impose on public credulity in the treatment
honour
a certain class of disorders, where delicacy and
amour are so much required. The only lustitutifn ,
e.f this kind which has a real clAim to public confi.'
°race, from the dignified patronage it has received,,
and from its extensive benefit to the Public, since its
commencement, is the Lock and Surgical Dispensary.
The Surgeon to this Establishment, Mr. KIERNAN,
distinguialled no less by his high Professional talents,
than by his being a Member of the Royal College of
;Trolls, London. He is extensively consulted every

House, &c. as is nece4sary in 'melt cases A short conversation
took place on the occasion, and the Agents were directed to at-

• Tile Marquis of BUCKINGHAM adverted to
the notice given, on his behalf, respecting his inten-
tion to bring torwArci a motion respecting the State
of Ireland. He now acquainted titer:Lordships that ,
he should submit that motion to the House on Tues.'
day sennight. The Noble Marquis moved a sum-'
mons for that day, which was ord. red accordingly.
Earl DARNLEY said, he observed, that among
the Papers whice had been laid before the House.
respecting the Military Expenditure of the Country,
he perceived certain Items to which he deemed it his I
duty to tall the particular attention of their Lard-
shies- He alluded chiefly to those through which
the public- were called upon to keep in repair at a
considerable expense, and particularly to cereen Mi.
ditary Works on the Coast of Kent, which he believed
could now be of no public acilty whatever. Such a
period as the present called for every ec emmical ex-
ertion to circumscribe and diminish the expenditure
of an overburthened country, instead of keeping up
useless and expensive Establishments. The Noble
lEarl seemed to intimate his intention to move ler
I Accounts of all the Monies expended in the way to
which he referred, at some future time, th ugh I,e
trusted the Noble Lords in office would see the pro-
priety of laying before Parliameat detailed Accounts
of this Branch of the Expenditure, such as the erec-
:ion of Military Works, formation et Canals, and the
like. To such consideration' the vigilance of Par-
liament ought to be particularly directed, as well as ,
to the whole system of the public expenditure gene-
rally, for unless Vie recent very great advantage
gained by t e. vigilance and iiiteerity ad Parliament
for the country were followed up by measures of
strict ecoriomy, it would be of very little avail.
The Earl of eIULURAVE was of opinion; that
no practical result could, under the present circum-
stances, be effected from the production of these de-
tailed stetements to which the Noble Earl seemed to
refer, except it were initialed by him to ground
thereon a motion, which must necessarily involve a
censure on the Parliament for having coneurresl in
and given its sanction to the erection of these works.
The eitp.isition would be attended with much lebotir
and expense, and for no one pureon whatever of pub-
lic utility of advantage.
Earl DARNLEY, in explanation, contended for
the ereptiety having such accounts laid before
Parliament. The subject to which he referred was
well worthy the attention and examination of the
Hoag, the more especially when it appeared probe.
ble that large sums would be called for, for the pur-
pose of keeping in repair these works, which were
now of no service to the country.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a Pe-
tition respecting the Property Tax, and so tar, in that
view, it was Certainly not of much importance; but
lie apprehended, from what had passed oir a former
evening, that it had not much chance of being re-
ceived by their Lordships, on account of the desig.
nation it gave the House. It was from some ofithose
persons called " Quakers," and the Petition was ad-
dressed, not to the " Lords Spiritual and Tempered,"
but to the " Upper House of Parliament." They
bad, it appeared, a serious or conscientious objection
to address men by a title which they thought only
appertained to the SUPREME BEING.
The LORD CHANCELLOR stated what had
been the uniform practice in addressing their Lord-
ships in the way of Petition, the " Lords Spiritual
arid 'Temporal," and not the Upper House, which it
was designated merely in contradistinction to the
Lower House of Parliament. It was tor their Lord-
ships, however, to decide upon the question.
Eel STA N HOPE contended-that such language
in the Address was nut a sufficient objection to their
Lordships' receiving the Petition. The best autho-
rity they could refer to for a decision of the point
was, their own Standing Oilers. In these they were
repeatedly recognized and designated as the" Upper
House of Parliament." The epithet House could
not possibly be held to apply to the walls or physical
materials of the chamber in which they sat, but to its
congregated Members. Let their Lordships read
their °ten 7th Standing Order, and see if it were pos-
sible to maintain that opinion, which the Noble and
Learned Lord had referred to, but, very properly,
had not maintained. In this Order they were ex-
pressly called the Upper House ;" and speaking of
certain forms of both Houses meetintogether, the
Commons were called 'the " Lower jiotise," whicl•
was to " stand uncovered at the bar." Could it pos.
sibly be meant that the House of Commons as a
Hesse was to come up here, and to let in the rain by
standing uncovered at their Lordships' bar 1—(.4
berth.)—ln the 37th Standing Order, too, the same
language was held ; and speaking of conferences, it
said the place of meeting the Lower House in confe-
rence was usually the Painted Chamber. Could it
contemplate any thing else, but that the Members
and not the House itself were to be conferred with ?
He should therefore Move tbkt the Petition do lie
upon the table.
The LORD CHANCELLOR in explanation
observed, there could be no doubt as to the real,
meaning of the term " Upper House ;" but the
question was, what the Petitioners meant to imply
by the words ?
The motion being pressed, a division took place,
when there appeared—
Contents 9—Not Contents i7-.Majority against
receiving the Petition 28.
Earl STANHOPE said, he had to call the serious
attention of their Lordship" to R very important sub-
ject. Their Lordships, or those among them who
