MR. HUNT'S EXPEN('ES.—The tympathetik•
feeling which has been so generally created by the
late Sentences. and by all the circumstances of Mr. Hunt's
case, renders it unnecessary for Ibe Committee to press a
subject, to which evert- one is alive, on the attention of the
Friends of Liberty. all of whom, in every rso: and condi-
tion of life, will, it is to be hoped. be duly sensible of what
is their bounden duty at such a crisis.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY. Juxs ?.

The Doke of lionnox took the oaths and his seat.
FOREIGN TRADE—The Earl of DoetouGustose
moved fur certain Papers relative to the Timber Trade
as carried on between this conntry and the Baltic, and
the British Colonies in North America.—Agreed to.
INDEMNITY.— Ilse 11.1 RD CHANCILLI.OII brought
in a Bill to indemnify the Earl of Winch'.lsea for har-
ing voted without taking the necessary oaths.
MESSAGES FROM THE COMMONS.—•M;.
Wynn brought up from the Co'muons the Glebe Lands
Exchange Bill. S I Private Bills were also
brought up in the ordinary course.
ELECTION OP SCOTCH PEERS.—The Earl of
Rosansear• brought in a Bill for regnlating the mode
a electing, the Representative Peers of Scotland, which
was read a first tune. The Noble Lord observed,
that he would take an opportunity of entering into a
foil exposition of the subject ou the second reading of
the Bill.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND —The Marquis of LANS-
DOW N begged to ask the Noble Earl opposite (Liver-
pool), whether his Majesty's Ministers had received
any communication from the Irish Uovernment relative
to the unfartenate state of the Southern parts of Ire-
land, which were visited with incalculable distre.s, by
the failure, not of one, but of almost all the banks in
that pa t of the kingdom, of which the whole country
felt the shock. The principal bank he understood to
have failed for 250,0001., and had nut the means of
paying a shilling in the pound. The (.In:o:sling me-
dium was in consequence destroyed. his was a case
which lordly demanded the attention of liovernment,
which he hoped would co operate with the Bank of
Ireland, if nut to remedy, which was, perhaps impossi-
ble, at least to mitigate, the consequences of so exten-
sive and alarming a calamity.

.•
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said. that he had heard of
the failnres, though he could not speak positively as to
extent of the embarrassment which had been thereby
occasioned. He had received no communication to!
the subject, bat as he had not seen the Secretary of
State for the Home Depar►ment that day, he did not
know whether the information to which the Noble
Marquis allnded, at arrived at his office. lie could
only therefore state, that the attention of Government
had not been yet officially dran•u to the circumstance.
but if such a communication were male, he had no
doubt it would be attended to.

The Earl of LsoncansLE observed, that the inter-
feretict of Uoverntnent in such a rase, fur the purpose
of creating a credit for the i,sues of Banking Establish-
ments. which had lest the public confidence, would I a
*rash* fatal precedent. Whatever could be done to
remedy the inc•mvenience, it belonged to the Bank of
Ireland to consider, and to pot in a speedy execution :
and he trusted that establishment would show itself
as prompt anti liberal in this exigence as the Bank
of England had always proved itself under similar cir-
cumstances.

The 31arquis of LANIID.OUN said, that his Noble
Friend (Gerd Lauderdale) had misapprehended him.
He did not mean to sug.gest to Government the pro-
priety of creating a new credit for these banking-houses;
but as the dreadful result of their failure had been to
destroy the circulating medium, which in the south of
Ireland consisted almost exclusively of their paper, so
that the ordinary course of barter between man and
man was suspended, he thon::lit it ought, in case the
Bank of Ireland were inclined to supply the vacuum in
the currency, that the Government should afford every
facility, anti further the restoration of confidence and
the means of commercial intercourse, by all the capabi-
lities which they possessed.
The House then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. JUN z 2.

IMPORTATION OF TlAlBER.—'.leneral Oss-
covNe presented a petition from several Merchawi,
Shipowners, &c, in Liverpool, praying that no altera-
tion might take place, so as to affect a relaxation in the
Navigation Act; and that nu relative alteration should
b; wade as to the duties on timber imported from the
British Colonies, and from foreign countries ; the ob-
ject of the petitioners being to encourage, as much as
possible, the importation of timber from the British
North American colonies.

On the motion for bringing up the petition—
Sir ISAAC COFFIN said, he did not conceive that any
of the promised advantages were derived from the im-
portation of timber from North America ; 1 r instead
of coming from our North American Mollie., it was
brought from the United States of America. All the
timber imported for many years, to his knowledge,
came from the north-west part of the State of New
York, on the borders of Lake Champlain. Before the
late war, all the silver in Canada was drawn away for
this timber, in consequence of which the province was
greatly distressed. He had written to Lord Bathurst
on this subject, pointing out the deception tinder which
the people of this country laboured as to promoting the
prosperity of our colonies. While we were coofesriag
these advantages on the United States, we had lost a
good customer in the Emperor of Russia, who used to
take our goods for his timber. The sooner, therefore,
a duty was hid on colonial timber the better.
The petition was read, and ordered to lie on the
sable.
amoral GASCOTII II said, that so far as came within
tee kaowlodire of Ids constituents, he was sate they
believed the timber was the growth of or North
American colonies, the inhabitants of which were in
the habit of taking 40,000 tons of salt for the same
every year.
TAX ON MALT.—Mr. Wllnststs presented two
petitions, one from Ross-shire, and another from Wig-
ton, praying for an alteration in the Malt tasty.
Sir O. Cubit's presented a similar petition from the
freeholders of Edinburghshirc.

PRICE SEVEN PRNtE.

Another petition to the same effect was presemed
from Nairnshire, by Mr. F. CAMPISLI.L.
MARRIAGE ACT.—Dr. PHILLIMORI moved the
Order of the Day for the Committee on the Marriage
Act Bill.

This motion was objected to by Lord Ossumweow
and Mr. WROTTRSLET, and supported by Mr. W.Wynsi.
The Muse having resolved itself into a Committee,
a conversation took place on that clause of the Bib
which was to have an txporl facto operation, by de-
claring that all marriages contracted during the last
six months, and liable to be 6issAved for non-a2l,
should be valid marriages, as well as similar inarr.age; •
to be contracted hereafter, provided they took Om:
with the consent of the parents and guardians of the
parties.
Dr. PHILLI3IOItt strennottsly supported this clause,
as one founded on moral justice, sound policy, aad
humanity. lie quoted several cases of extreme hard-
ship which had occurred through the dctett of the law
which the Bill now proposed to remedy.
Mr. WROTTESLET moved. that it be omitted from
the Bill.

On this the Committee divided ; when there ap-
peared, for leo% ing out the Clause, 50—in favour4f
it, 53.
Mr. BENNVTT said, that great and cruel injusti,:e
would take place if sonic respective provision to a si-
milar effect did not take place; and he moved a duns:,
that a marriage contracted by licence, although one o:"
the panics was under age, and notwithstanding any.
suit instituted to annul the same, should be a TAW
marriage. This clause was, however, afterwards with-
drawn ; and the Bill having passed the Committee, w.:.%;
ordered to be reported.
LINEN TRADE.—Mr. CI!ftWEN presented a peti-
tion from certain manufacturers of Linen Cloth at
Kendal, praying that they might have the same ad
vantages in regard to bounties, as the linen inanufa-
turers of Iv

Mr. VESI.T FIIZGLIALD thought, that the gradual
evim:tion of the protecting duties on Irish linen
should be aimed at as much as possible. It was dr-
sirable that Ireland should know if it was the intrL-
tion of Government to propose any measure with a
view to this extinction.

The CHANcELLOR of r!'r EXCHEQUER observed, 0.31
the law which granted the protecting duties evottij
not expire for some time. it was Ms intention to lay
on the table certain papers respecting these duties, with
a view to the gradual eminction of thew.
Mr. PARNELL. Mr. Iticartno, and Lord CA37LE-
RE 4UH. spoke in favour of the gradual repeal of those
duties.

Mr. HtrenttesoN objected to any sudden repeal of
the duties. He assure] the llouse. that Ireland wanted
extremely protecting duties ti keep the few r usaisiug
manufactures which she had.

Tb,• petition was brought up, read, and laid on the
table.

DISTIIIILINCES IN IRELAND.—Mr. DALT
asked the Secretary for Ireland if it was his intention
to propose the re-enactment of the Insurrection lii.l
for Ireland, or would he propose any measure with a
view to the suppression of the disturbances in that
kingdom ?
Mr. CHARLES ()RANT said, that, in the present cir-
cumstances, it was nut the intention of Government to
re-enact the Insurrection Act, or to propose any meat..
of a similar iendeni.y.—(Hear, hear !)
311% DALT then gave notice, that he would, tin Wed •
nesday n'xt, submit a motion to the House upon tL.:
subject of disturbances in Ireland.
ESII3IATES.—On the na-
tion of the Ceascnia.on of the EXCHEQUER, the lion
resolved itself into a Committee cf Supply.
Load PALMERSTON then rose to move the Army E .-
timates. The Noble Lord, in addressing the House.
we are sorry to say, was frequently interruf tett by the
effects of what appeared to be the head-ache. At
length the indisposition compelled him to sit down,
lifter basins gone through a small part of the ezisasi-
lion of the estimates. The fol!owing is the state-
ment of the Noble Lord, so far as he went he
principal ature to be noticed in the estimates, was an
increase of 10,35 b to the number of troops; or, with
officers, to 11,746, making an increase of charge of
2240!00/. over the estimates of last year. Under the
head of land fortes, there was an increase of charge
for the whole, to the amount of 416,0001. Ibis in-
crease wu divided between the regimental charge and
the miscellaneous charge. As to the regimental
charge, the increase arose in consequence of the aug-
mentation of the 14th foot, stationed in New South
Wales, acid which had been intended to reduce it Lots,
I,ooonien to the usual standard, 650; this intention
having heen prevented by the representation of we
tiovertior t.t. New South Wales, as to the necessity of
keepinr up the force, the amount of the inmate lair
this augmentation was 11,0001. There was also to
be charged under this head a sum of 30,0001. fur the
84th and 110th regiments of toot, which were trans-
ferred from India to the British settlements. 'I her,
were several other small article', allowances to cava:iy
is Ireland, he. whittle added to the increase on each ut
the charges, gave a large aggregate increase. Thai e
were several reductions, however, to be taken into cal-
culation.---(Here his Lordship stated the items an
which reductions bad been made.)--The amount tut
these relived.= takes from the aggregate increase vt
charges, left the net increase 416,000/. Os the ;c-
-cruitingexpenees there had been an increase this year.
In addition to which, there was the ailferencg to be
made up between the actual expeaditure last year and
the estimates. 'llse amount of the increase wait I,S Wl.

had bees made. That he should allude us time re-
