Collins, Conant, &c. for depriving him of the Demise of his house in Clerkenwenwell, should attend at their bar. It tins n ease that ought to go to a jury; and as the minutes had been printed, what reason could there be for refusing the leave to the short hand writer to attend ? Mr. WTNNE was favourable to the appointment of a committee to enquire whether the proposition could be and ought to be complied with.—(Hear, hear.)—Motion wtilidraw Mr. G. BENN ETT moved for accounts of the convictions and executions for forging bank mutes; of the number of persons who pleaded guilty to the minor offence during the last Once years.

Mr. CIIETWYN DE moved for n return of fines enforced by the Cow t of King's Bench, those levied, and nn :irritant of the appropriation of the same. He moved for this ac count to remove many erroneous impressions ; for annoy believed that those floes to the King went into his Majesty's pocket t whereas they went to the Deno and Chapter of Westminster, and were received by the High Bailiff of Westminster. He wanted to know bow the Crown came to part with snch fines. Account ordered. The report of like committee respecting allowances to Judges, Officers, &c. in the courts in Ireland, was brought up, read, and a,ireed to, and bills ordered accordingly. The house went into u committee on the Sax and cotton acts, in which Mr. Lushington moved the continuance of the present duties for two years longer. Resolution agreed to—report to-morrow.

Petitions complaining of agricultural distress from Coin wall, and four other places in that comity; from Doncaster, Warvi ickshire, age. were presented. Sir I. COFFIN said, if the gentlemen who presented these valions petitions would advise the tenants to lay aside the character of gentlemen, and lesuille that of farmers;—if they resumed smock frocks, and return to old planners, there would be some chance of a return of aid customs. Mr. Ald. C. SMITH said, this had already been done, yet so extelisive was the distuesa, that the farmer was little better than a day.labotirer. NICIT }ANN Nteres.—Mr. CURWEY inquired whether there was any tenth in the rumour that the plan tor the proposed new Bank note,: had failed wholly, or in part, and why Mr. Applegartles plan wits neglected. hie. 1). GILBERT replied, that the commissioners continued to he indefatigably engaged. The difficulties they had to contend with were great -they had to produce what, it would be hoped, perverted o uity could not Imitate—and they still expected that they slioutil eventu ally succeed. As to Mr. Applegai tles plan, arrorditig to which many notes might be shtick off at once, it pos sessed great mei it, as far as bemiring Ilie identity of Ilie notes was concerm,,l, but in other respect a it was very defective. The conuni.siimeia had to took to other quar ters for information, and it was impossible lot Mein to state immediately what Inither progress had been made. Sir I. COFFIN urged the necessity ut soinuthiug being ituniedintely dune. Mr. CURWEN hoped that a report woniil soon be made of the prowess really made by the commissioners. It this a ere not thane, he should deem it his duty to move fur all communications made on this subject to the coma- Inissioners. Mr. LITTLETON moved for leave to intrmitice a hill to regulate Chute!' Briefs. 'fur system had been useful, but it was such now that it might to be amended or abo lished.—Motion agreed to. Mr. DENMAN hit esented a very strongly-worderl peti tion from No1011(411311', complaining of the condole, of ministers, and the deplorable state of the nation, produced by their impolitic and imbecile measures. Petition read, anti ordered to lie on the table. On the motion that it be minted, Mr. C. W VNNE said, he could not consent to the plioliog of a petition that spoke of IMIsOIiS having been unjustly executed, Mr. 6. Ith:NNETT protested against this new-fangled doctrine.

Lord SIDINING said, If Outright were as matter of THE NATIONAL REGISTER course, where was the use of putting the question whether the petition he printed? Sir H. WILSON was not prepared to justify all 01(- 8110ra/ions of the petition, bet he knew that men had built cut down without redres4 being obtained. Lord CAS'l'Llni EMI!! said, he was astooklied at the intemperite address that had j•rst been hi aril. It thet.• were men at large who hail rot iiiii itted murder, vk ithout charges having been preferred against them, why had not the hon. general ovenvicil liim.elf in preferring sue!' charges ? As to the defence extended to the authorities of Manchester, he should always glory in his share of that transaction. Sit IL WILSON a-serted nothing that lie was not pre pared to prove. He had charged those wlto inter' elided the meeting of the Hith of August t%llll murder, and lie was prepared to establish that chat ge, oi abide by the remit of failiere.—(Hear.) Mr. 11. WILBRAHAM remarked that bills had nut even been preferred against the magistrates before the grand jury. Mr. PHILLIPS said he hail made inquiry respecting the events at Manchester, and his conviction was, that the accounts of those melancholy events had not been exag gerated. If the bills had been preferred before juries in any oilier county, he 1111101 questioned whether the results would nor leave beset diffeieut. Mr. S. WORTLEY observed, if the gallant general had the proof of der is his nocket—(Sir H. W." I did not say I had the proof in my e acket.") It he were piepared with proof, why not adduce it before grand jury alter grand jury, till a bill was found ? Or why was an action for au ushattit out preferred ? He thought these matters were mentioned only for the pin poses of inflammation. Sir It. WILSON asked, if the lion. member had lost a wife, a son, or a brother, by violent means, would he be satisfied with bringing an action for an assault ? Mr.IIROUG HAM would not express his approbation or disapprobation of the pi ; hut he denied that its letup:see was such, respecting the conduct and suensures of ministers, as to warran! the reipction of the motion.— As to the events connected with Nianeliester, he repeated, that no occurrence hail so much affected the 6piniull of the people as those events, and the " pretended legal" proceeding that followed them. They had given the go vernment a shock which, la therto, it bad nut recovered. Mr. DEN MA N tephrd , that he never had, as some mete bervieem to imagine, complained of the language of the pe tition.

He admitcd that inuividuals had been seduced into 11C111 of rebellion—hut by whom ? By spies, who had been too successful in their eiforti. (Cheers.) If, therefore, this motion' faded, it would lie on a false plea.— But it was remarkable that the government had Boor ili,ll - inquiry of any out. The assertions of the ministers had been disproved—particularly the facts that eat-loads of stone. , had been found in the field, and magistrates tram pled under foot.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL replied, it was found to be impossible to comply with the request; there %%elle no other means but a full pardon, or a remission of the sentence, a great part of which still remained. I. NEATER SIREIHEE.—Mr. GREEVEY brought forward his promised motion respecting the conduct of the sheriff of CM -Ayr, in refusing to put the address RUOVCd by Lord Grosvenor at the Chester meeting, as " irrelevant."— The address was Ins al enough, ben it complained of the measures pursued by the government. The sheriff, with sat potting the addiess, declared the other address to have been curried. After some remarks fawn Mr. Egerton, Mr. F.. Wilbra ham, pie. tho motion for A committer was decided upon.

(Cheers.) They eqpalled, if they did not surpass any thing ever attempted or done by Napoleon. But what sort of change did the noble lard exhibit, in his circular, against his former friends? It was not less than this—that the King of England should agree to plans which would warrant the introduction Gt• foreign troops hue this country without the knowledge or consent of pat liainent, should there be civil commotior, ur, what bud minkters might choose to call, revolinionai y commotion.

Those Sovereigns said more, that they lidd no doubt of the consent of the • inters of his Mil:111111 . 0 Majesty. That was the plain English of what the circular said to have been the proposition of the Allied Sovereign.. He wanted to know what was the language of those pro positious, therefore he moved for documents to know what Plinces Me tternich and Hardenbargh really had required. As far as he understood the noble lord's cir cular, his lordship's indictment against the Sovereigns and their ministers—they had proposed what was " repugnant to the fundamental laws ut this country." What was repugnant? What could it allude to lint the recognition of the principle, that tinder pailicular circumstances the introdllCtlOD of foreign hoops into this country would be jiraitied. Note what had given the foreign ministers reason to believe that our ministers would assent to any such ariangement?

The troth however was, that there were no refusals forwarded on diplomatic furciog, except where the changes in kingdoms were in favour of liberty.— (Continued cliceta.) 'these 1i11.13 were the grounds on which he founded his right to call for further information. —lle concluded with moving for a series of documents illustrative of Lord Castlereagh's circular to the Allied Sovereigns. Lord CASTLEREAGH replied to Sir J. Mackintosh, and was followed by Sir It. Wilson, Mr. S. Wortley, ?Ir. Tierney, Mr. Robinson, Mr. J. W. Ward, and others. After a reply from Sir J.
