Sir, the punishment which the malice of my enemies have procured to be inflicted on me, is not, in my mind, worth a moment's reflection. The Judge supposed, apparently, that his sentence of pillory would disgrace and mortify me. I can assure him, and I now solemnly as sure this House, my constituents, and my country, thanl would rather stain., in my own name, in the pillory every clay of my life under such a sentence, than I would sit upon the bench in the name of • • • for one single hour. Something has been said, Sir, in this House, as I have read, about an application for a mitigation e: my sentence, in a certain quarter, where it is cbsro ce I , ri;3# mercy never failed to flow.

'Foe Noble Lord had entered into a long and distinct ana lysis of the alledged pro. fs of 1:;s guilt.

The ATIOhN EY GENEHAL warmly deleoded Lord Ellenborough, and deoied that Special J:Wes were corrupt : hot he would give no opinion as to tile guilt or innocence of the Noble Lord. Mr. ?WAN n said, he had always entertained doubts ac to Ms Lorci.eip's privity in time late transactions : he thought further in• qni.y necessary.

As the ease stood he could vote for a motion of expulsion without a sufficient inves tigatiou. Air. PoxsoNpy condemned the rule of Court by which Lord Cochrane was prreholed having a new trial ; w; re he to vote this night fur the expvosfou of the Noble Lord, he could not sleep with icemfort on his pillow. Lord CASTLIAIF AGD said, Parliament was incompetent to re view the sentence 1.1 .1 Court of Justice, unless on a • epseoion of impeacnine..t. Expulsion was the necessary result of ceneiction.

" The Princess of 'Wales, at the siime time, desires Mr. Speaker will inform the house of her deep regret, that the burthens of :he people should be at all increased, on account of the circum stances in which she has been placed ; and that she cannot consent to any addition to those burthens beyond what her actual situation may appear to require. That she therefore hopes the house will reconsider its resolution, for the pin pose of limiting the income propo , ed to be settled upon the Princess of Wales to the annual 'lion of 35.00:d which will be quite srdlicient, and will be excepted with the liveliest gratitude, as an unequivocal proof that the Prin. ces: of Wale: h s secured the good opinion awl protection of the Noose of C( vino 1-lonA., July ;;., 1.810."

Mr. BencxnunN presented the petition of several merchants, ma. nufacturers, cotton-spinners, and others, residing in the town and neighbourhood of Manchester. against the contimtance of the duty on raw cotton imported into this country. Mr. BARING, Mr. FINLEY, and Mr. PHILLIPS, urged the neces sity of repealing the duty complained of, as otherviise the mann. faetnrers of Manchester could not support a competition with those of foreign countries, when in addition to so high a duty on the raw material, living was twice as dear as on the continent, and taxes of all kinds infinitcly lib her. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he whs not prepared to abandon a tax which produced from 6 to 100,0001. per willow. Ile did not think the present state of the Continent was such as ought to induce alarm aavoig our manufacturers. The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
