to come, that instead of the party denominations of
Whigs Red Tories, that Reformers and And- Refoimers
should be the mile distinctions known in that lignite,—
Ministers felt in the present instance the inconvenience,
of a protracted Session. It bad been thus lengthened
by Petitions; and, according to appearances, where one
petition bed been this year presented, next year there
would he ten. He hoped Ministers, aware of this,
would take care that the house idioulti.meet early in Ja-
nuary, as the only means of saving them from the am
cushy of sitting early in August.
Mr. BUTTERiVORTH begged to soak a Learned Gen.'
devotee opposite how the clause is the Marriage Art
Amendment Bill, which required the yegister of the.
christening, of the parties about to merry was to
operate in the case of the members ofp certain red=
lociety, who rot haring been christened at all,
prinince no swish register.
Dr. PHI LIAM IR E said; the clause le peestion-was
not Mi. It had been supplied in another pass, Litt it , I
wee provided that where it was stated on oath thrills,
register could not be fiend, a licence might be granted
on evidence being given that the parties were of age.
Mr. HUME contended the reductions made in the
course of the Session ought to have heen carried mood
farther. What had been done. be thought with two ex-
ceptions, ought to he considered as a boon from his Al a•
jesty's Ministers, but lie could have wished that the
expenditure had been reduced in proportion as taxation
had been diminished. He complained of the course
taken with the Agrienhond Interest. Instead of acting
::s they had done it would have been more mealy in
Mi
nisters to have come forward at once, and said, " we can
do nothing for the landed interest, lint by adopting
measures which would ri lieve them in common with the
rest of the community." Further rednetions most he
mate. He was far from wishing to break faith with the
public creditor, hut eithout doing that, if the country
Gentlemen diii their duty, he thought the repro :time
*cub!, in the nest Session of Parliament, be diminished
by from seven to ten millions.
• Mr. It. MARTIN mss :tarp:isml to hear the Honour-
able Gentleman (Mr. Bennet) celebrate the triumph of
an independent Parliament over Ministers, and in the
same speech call for a Reform of that Parliament. The
Hot. Gentleman in standing op for Reform proved his
own independence, but let him take care that doing this
he did not neglect to ',mirk his property. If he did, be
would have to regret the line of conduct be Imes& bat
once, and that would he from that moment forward is
which he saw the (dint gained for which lie sow coo-
tended. lie (Mr. Martin) declared his own conduct to
be as independent as that of any man in that boast.. He
bad no place, nor had ant of his family been. in office.
No place hail ever been offered to him.—(A laugh.)—
He did not know but he deserved a place as well as some
of those who raised that laugh. He, however, never
would accept of one. hut he would continue to give Mi-
nisters his independent support. When the Gentlemen
opposite wished to carry a motion of their bringing for-
ward, they always told the Members that they need not
be afraid of voting for it, as if they carried it. the present
Milliliters would not be ousted. • The meaning
.of this
was, " the people are ms afraid of our coining in. that
they went I rather see the niessnres of tbiNnille Lorsf
carried when they de not approve of them, than witness
such a result." That this dread might long continue
was his sincere wish. The Hon. Member for Abenieen
bad talked a great deal aleion economy. Now, it up-
peered to him that one of the most effertnal means of
reforming abuses was by communing with Ministers In
a friendly way. He was sorry that it haul not occurred
'to that Hon. Gent!• man when he sat on the Ministerial
• Benches, to whisper to the Members of the Government
the importance of making midi reforms as he now sag-
gelded. Ile doubted not the Hon. Gentleman did only
what he thought it his ditty to do, hut it struck him
with some astonishment that It had not occurred to histi
to call for some of the retrenchments which lie now
wished to greet, while lie sat oa that side of the house Is
which he was cow opposed.
Mr. MABERLEY was of opinion that a snfficient
reduction in the expenditure oldie country bad not been
effected.
Mr. BENNETT explained.
The motion was then agreed tn.
A Message from the Lords announced their Lordships
concurrence with the Greenland Fishery Bill, the Irish
Commercial Credit Bill, the Irish Insolvent Debtore
Bill, and several other Bills.
NOIICES.
Mr. BENNET said that he would, on behalf of hi.
Hon. Friend, the Member for Westminster (Sir F.
Burdett.) give notice, that it was his intention to bring
on, early in the nest Session, before the House, the sub-
ject of Military Corporal Punishment. Ile stated it to,
be his own (Mr. Bennet's) intention, to submit at that
time a motion on the subject of Military Commissions
of Inquiry.
Mr. HUMP gave notice that he would bring before
the biome, early in the next Session, the Church Esta-
blishment and Church Property in Ireland, sinless his
disjes.ty's Government in the mean time made some
material alteration in the system.
The question of Adjournment, on the rising of the
House, to Monday next, was then put from the Chair,
and carried.
The Report of the Committee on the Public Accounts
,was twaniebt.up by Lord PaLuenwegetwnd after a few
observations from Mr. MAPERLET Wife, was'
laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
On the motion of Mr. lintosocs, various retnrns re-
lative to the island of Trinidad were ordered to be laid
on the table.
The others Orders of the Day were then disposed of,
and. the house adjourned, at a quarter to Eight o'Clo. k,
to Monday next.

davit o* which the Process of Extents S. h
(stare be issued.
" Upon the motion of Mr. Akorory•Georral. k is at-

shall be granted, unless the party applying for the same,
nr some person or persons on his behalf, shall make at
delimit that, unless the process of extent fur the debt due
to him from his debtor he forthwith issued, the debt doe
to the Crnwn from the party applying will be in clinger
of being lost to the Crown.
" JAMES ELDZITON, Rrg."

We are happy to be able to toogratulate the public
on what may, we hope, he considered as the abolition
of the process of Retests in Aid.
These write, originally granted only for the seenrity
*1 the r f the Crows (now more properly of
the public), were issued on an affidavit, that " unless
the Crpwn debtor could obtain payment of the debt
he sought to recover." he " would he less able" to
dieeharge his (own debt "to the Crown ;" meaning
doubtless, such a eliminvetion of his ability as would
,easier the payment of that C own debt.
So qualified, dill; eoststrartina was goner any acted
on for a long coarse of years, during which, the,
whole number of est.ste issued was tomparativety
very small. Some ingenious parsons, however. bad
always perceived, first, that toy diminntioe of the one.
plus of their clear property above ell demands (one
pound oat of • thousand. for instance) might by possi-
biliry render them less able to pay their debts; and
had therefore reconciled their cocoanuts to the oath
required!, thott4h imposed with a different intention.
and which, so taken, seemed to unsophisticated
onderstamliogrivery little short of perjury. About the
year 181'2. they farther discovered that almost
any debt due to the Croce, in whatever way
contracted, or to however small an amount.
Imight, by contrivance, he made available to
..btain this process, on their own behalf, towards
securing debts to any amount, however large, due to
them or to the partnerships in which they were en-
gaged. And it is not wonderful that when the facility
of acting on such a system was discovered, the Dum-
ber def instances shoot.] rapidly increase. Accordingly.
the extents issued soon swelled from 10 or 20, to
220 in one year, env' out by 1161s:ere, Receivers.
lieteral, Spirit Dealers. Farmers of Pat-hone
duties, Collectors of Assessed or other Taxes. re-
mitters of pnblio monies, as likewise by sureties
and bondsmen for all inch persons, and many °the's.
scarcely in any single instance for the benefit of the
Crown, but for the exclo‘ive advantate of private in-
dividnals, to the gross injury of the other creditors of
the parties against whom the extents were issued, and
sometimes to the lire and injury of the Crown itwelfl
whose security was the original and only legitimate
object Of the process. In NI% an act was obtained.
by which these flagrant abuse. were in some degree
checked, hat the principle was left unmolested, and
the evil was again on the increase. until by the conti-
nued attentions of some gentlemen who bad kept a
constant watch upon the practice, a rule of the Court
of Exchequer well obtained on the motion of the
Attorney-General, oo Saturday the 221 of June last.
by which, through an alteration of the affidavit. the
process has been again limited to its original intention ;
%iz. to those cases where the Cro4n debt would be in
real danger ; that is to say, where the recovery of the
debt is necessary to preserve the solvency of the Crown
debtor, and where, therefore, on his taking the oath
bona fide as reqnired, it becomes the duty of the offi.
ears of the revenue, or ether servants of the Crown,
immediately to pray for an extent in chief against Aim.
Whatever objections may fairly lie to this exercise of
severity against third parties. it is at least the prinei-
ple itself which must be impugned. anti no longer
those iniquitous aggravations of it, to which the pub-
lie have lot a number of years been subjected.

DESTRUCTIO.V of the TURKISH FLEET by the
GREEKS.

VIENNA, JIMA IS.—We have some details relative
to the death of Capitan Pecha. It was in vain that
the Greeks offered him battle, so that it became Brees-
e sry to have recourse to stratament. The Greek Chiefs
held a council at Iran ; at their invitation two hun-I
men offered to devote themselves, and swore urt
the Cross to succeed in the plats proposed. or die glo-
riously. Forty-eight were Owen by lot, who received
the blessings of the Priests before proceeding with the
enterprise. All being concerted, on the first day of
the feast of Bairam, a Greek frigate appeared. with five
ship, before the Turkish line. They bad a strange
flag, and showed as if they came to take a pan in the
festival. Two hundred brave men who had passed for
French and English were well received by the enemy.
who allowed them to eneer the port of 'Escheat', and
east anchor in the midst of their fleet. But scarcely
had they arrives!, when they commenced the execution
of their project. In a short time, five vessels of the
line were on fire. The flag ip got out of harbour in
flames, to escape tidal destruction, and was cast on
the coast of Seto, wises the Capisan Pacha.was put on
shore in a dying state. The two hundred brave
men retired without loss. It is remarkable that the
whole Turkish fleet was burned in the same place, in'
the war of the Empress Catherine against the Porte.
by a Greek Captain.
The event was celebrated with enthusiastic devo-
tion throughout the Archipelago. A fast .f three
drys has been ordered.
The ertirl and inhuman Paella of Thessalosia ha.
also expiated his crimes, by order of the Sultan hies
self. His hatred to the Christian name caused hus
to commit the most cruel excesses on all of that

THURSDAY AUGUST I, IBM
PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.

LAST Mom—There was merely the passing of
Bills in the Hones of Lords. lo the House of Can.
mons, Sir WILLIAM Da Cassetosv complaieed of a
mietep Winn (in the Old Times. we believe) .l
his speech with regard to the conduct of the Mali
gentlemen towards their distressed tousles-Men. He
said that be had
them; that he thought their conduct bonottrahle and
humane. Ac Sir WILLIAM ShOella this he woo net
right in saying it; and we most heartily wish, (open-
ly for this purpose) that we were in the same Hove
with Sir WlLLtax. and thee we would, in the pithiest
omotter in the world, tell the Irish landlords sad par.
sons what we think of their conduct ; as It is, we
shall merely say that we will find an opperresity by
some means or other. of applying a little blast re
mark to this matter. with regard to whiels the parties
seem so very toncht. A little of oar caustic ; a ht.
tie double refined sugar upon the proud desk : this
would make them donee awl caper shoot; but thee
would be the better for it afterwards Tile Jets Bali

The Doctor means, we suppose, all the good men b'
