Tim Jet reflected er'ry shade,
Like Elves that would our wits trepan,

Rais'd by our nonrring Ifighlandnian;
Sing hey, our con,rring ilighlandman,
Then rumour ran, from London town
That witchcraft DONALD had brought down;
And kept young dells the folks to ban,
In Boots this wizzard Highlandman.
Sing hey, our wizzsrd Highlandman, &c.
One night the igaislatains came,
And lighted on his Boots in flame,
Thewitemour swore the De'il had ran

Away with our lost Hightandman,
• Sing hey, our gaming Highlandman, &e.
But yet the Dell still brings him hack,
Per WARasn's Jar can never lack
The tiny shades Its worth to scan,
Now priz'd by ey'ry Highlandman ;
Sing boy, each noble Highlandman,
And Wsansx's Jet with ew'ry clan,
For ev'ry where its fame has rau
. With Lowlander and Ilighlandman.

M•NNING brought op the London Docks company
ID from the House of Common..

The Scotch Turnpike Road Bill was read a third time
and passed.
The Felo de Se Bill was read a second time.
LONDON BRIDGE.

Earl OROSVENOR presented a petition from certain
Arcbilects, complaining of the stigma cut on their pro-
fession in the employment of Civil Engineers in con-
structing the new London Bridge.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said this was a petition
exactly similar to what he had himself presented on the
preceding day, and as a Mr. Ford had been appointed
the Architect for building the new Bridge, he did not
think this petition ought to be received.'
Earl GROSVENOR said he was not aware of its being
the sArne petition.
The Berl of LIVERPOOL hoped that such petitions as
this would not come again before that House.
°tithe third reading of the London Bridge Bill,
I;Ord MELVILLE mowed' claose, the effect of which
' was, to oriie power to the Corporation of LOndon r 6 ap-
' prove, conjointly with the Lords of the Treasury, of any

id, and SYDNEY died on Me Scaffold r

ration which might be proposed in the plan of the
.Bridge.
• 'The Bill was then read a third time and-passed.
On the motion of the Earl of ROStiLYN, the third
reading ante Scotch Juries Bill was put off to Monday
next.
CRIMINAL LAWS.

'The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that an amendment
bad been suggested from high authority in the Dill for
granting the benefit of clergy in certain cases of larceny;
and, therefore, he moved to put off the further proceed-
ing on the Bill till to•morrow.—Ordered.
The Convicts' Labour and Capital Punishments Re-
peal Bills were read a third time and passed.

SCOTCH COURTS.
On the Report of the Scotch Commissioners' Appeal
Bill,
The Earl of GROSVENOR proposed a claw for em-
powering the Commissioners to inquire into the office of
told Justice Onweral in Scotland, with a view that the
said-IM* be abolished.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL said the Commissioners
had already very heavy duties imposed on them; and it
would not be proper to encumber them with this extra
labour.

Earl GROSVENOR then said hewould take an easly
opportunity of ,proposiug an inquiry into the nature of
such office.
Lord MELVILLE said this office was as much known
to the Law of Scotland as any other jurisdiction in that
country.
The motion was then negative l.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY.

Mr. WILIMRFORCE presented petitions from Per-
shore, a parish io the County of Fife, and other places,
praying for the Abolition of Slavery.—Laid on the table.

Mr. F. BUXTON moved for an account of all inedi-
eines supplied to the Navy by the Apothecaries' Com-
pany, for the bast use Tears; and also a similar account
of all medicines supplied to the Army; and copies of the
Correspondence between the Admiralty and the Apothe-
caries' Company on the subject.
Mr. CROKER said he did not object to the motion, as
it did not go to impute any blame to the Admiralty.—
Motion agreed to.
Mr. A. ROBERTSON presented a petition from the
masters, mates, and seamen of the merchant-ships jn the
port of London, against the Reciprocity of Duties Bill.—
Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
Mr. T. WILSON presented a similar petition from the
ship-owners of London. The petitioners alleged that the
examination taken before the Committee was partial, anti
that the effect of the measure must he only to diminish
trade in British bottoms, but the trade of the country in
general.
Alter a few words from Mr. A. ROBERTSON, the CHAN.
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. M. A. TAYLOR, the
petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Sir JAM Es MACINTOSH presented a petition from
Mr. Clarke, late Surgeon of the Berkshire Militia, com.
plaining that be had lost his superannuation in conse-
quence of his baying retired too soon, through ill health,
and praying for some allowance, and also an alteration
in the present system with respect to An Militia.—Laid
on the table.
JUDICATURE OF NEW SOUTH WALES.

Sir J. MACINTOSH said be had another petition to
Present from a respectable merchant, Mr. J. Eager, of
Sydney, in New South Wales, upon a subject of great im-
portance. The petitioner deprecated several clauses of
the Bill which had been introduced fur modifying the
judicature of that Colony. It appeared that the effect of
the Bill would be to do away the trial by Jury altogether,
and establish a sort of Court Martial in its read. The pe-
titioner prayed to be beard by his counsel or agent at the
har, against the Bill. If this was agreed to by Hon.
Gentlemen on the ether side, he (Sir J. Macintosh) wripld
forbear from going more in detail on the merits of the
case at present.
Mr. WILMOT HORTON said he should decidedly ob-
ject to the proposition.
- - -

Sir J. MACINTOSH observed, that as the Hon. Gen.
tleman was so determined in his opposition, be must say
more on the subject than be otherwise would have done.
The House would perceive that New Swale Wales was no
longer an obscure receptacle for criminals. It was, in fact,
a most flourishing colony, having not less than 20,000
freemen, out of a popnlatien of 40,000 persons. It had,
he would venture to assert, a great number of Europeans
inhabiting it than any country on the whole Continent of,
Asia. Now, therefore, that principles and maxims were
to be established, which were perhaps to be perpetuated
through ages, care ought to be taken that they should be
as much as possible in accordance with the stirit of our
free Constitution. He contended that it was incumbent
on the authors of the Bill to prove that it was necessary
and. expedient that a body of 13,000 subjects should be
deprived of the benefit of the trial by Jury. Wa. it to be
pretended in this age that such a number of freemen,
living under the British Constitution, was uafit to be
Jurors ? Why, for the last twenty years it was the opinion
of the different Governors of the Colony of New South
Wales, that among the people there were to be found so&
&lent materials for the formation of Juries. That was
the opinion of Governor Bligh, of Governor Macquarrie,
and, though last, not least, of Mr. Commissioner Biggs.
With such authorities as these on his side, he called on
the promoters of the Bill to show why they felt justified
in excluding the free inhabitants of that extensive colony
from the trial by Jury. In the two districts of tbe colony
of New South Wales there were no fewer than 3;000 free-
holders and landholders. Among these were 1,601/owners
of fifty acres of land and upwards. Could it he main-
tained for an instant that there was in that colony a want
of proper materials for a Jury of freemen, and tbakit was
necessary to subject the inhabitants in civil and criminal
cases to a specter; of jurisdiction resembling a Court-
Martial or Star Chamber, rather than a civil tribunal, and
composed of military and civil officers of the Government,
who, it ought to be remembered, were limited in
number, so that there would often be a likelihood of
failure of justice ?—(Hear, hear, hear.) There was
another clause in that Bill by whiea tire Governor of
the Colony had the power on receiving affidavits, perhaps
the_ false affidavits of parties, to take up the accused
person, btirrying him on board a ship, and order him
to be transported from the colony without inquiry or exa-
mination. If the House of Commons did not express
their abhorrence and detestation of such a power as that
to be banded over to the Governor of a distant colony,
they no longer deserved to be called the Representatives
of the free and enlightened people of England.—(Hear,
hear.) But whist was the necessity to vest the doversor
of the Colony of New South Wales with suck obsolete
power? Would such despritic authority be ,tolerated hr
any individnal at home ?.-Lertainly not. Then much lea
should it be given to the Governor of a colony at a die-
wire from England. A Governor of a colony was apt to
be guided by arbitrary principles, and if he were to choose
any case in which despotic power and arbitrary principles
were to be rooked on as roost dangerous, it was'that of a
distant colony—(hear, bear) —like New South Wales,
