These accounts were ordered to be on the table. *ere beard respecting the Irish Appeal, N Hancock . Lens," and certain legal questions arising thereout referred for OWeasiwions of the Learned Judges, who were in attendance. _. Lord ROLLE presented a Petition against the Insolvent palate km, and briefly adverted to certain Inconvenlencles ISM& were alleged to have arisen from its operation. . Lord REDRoDALE observed, that, a general law upon the object ems far petrel* to the former system, of having re morse to t mp.rary Inscilvent Debtors' BiW front year to year. He sieaaad aware that some inconvenience might have arbeu Rem the delegation of its powers to Magistrates at the Quarter liallons, who appeared to administer the law in question rather orlon the principle of the former Insolvent Bills than accredmi to the provisions of the General Act. Perhaps this wig& be amended to advantage, and he understood a Bill either was, or would be soon introduced into another place, for the pwpose.— The Petition was ordertdto lie on the table. I was The Naval Courts Martial and the Glen Dudes Has passed through Committees of the whole House, and were reported without any amendment. The Freehold Estates liability, the Cochineal Importation, and Lard (lowers' Indemnity BUle, were brswght up from the Coin moss by Sir S. Rossua.r and ethers, and read the first time.— Adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A new Writ was ordered for the City of Carlisle, in the room of Mr. Fiwerrv, deceased. Petitions were pawed from seven Parishes In Berkshire, sweat the Kennet and Avon Canal Si lt •-11 Peehien Imes de Conine of t Agricultama of that County, praying lii r s erief, was presented,med,alli and ordcr.d to Won the table. Mr. LYTILILTON presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of Wolverhampton, against the Capper Local rokens, which in that town had become almost the only drcelattng medium.— Ordered to lie on the table. Sir O. CLE RKgave nod ee that to-morrow week be would move for leave to bring in a Bin for the better preserving unifor mity in Weights and Measures. The Freehold Estates Bill was read a third time and passed. The House went into a Committee on the Tonnage Dudes Aet.—Tha Resolutions were agreed to. The Bank Loan Bill was read a first and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. KI.NNZT AND AVON CANAL. Oa the motion by Mr. C. DUN DAS, for the second reading of the Kennet and Avon Canal Bill, Mr. LOCKHART contended that there was no Parliamentary ground for the measure, which was only an effort on the pan of the Shareholders to in crease their rates and. tolls. It would be unjust and mischievous to authorise these persons to levy a sum of money upon the public, because they merely assert they have laid out a large sum themselves, and do not receive sufficient interest for it. This, if a fact, was a subject with which the House had nothing to do any more than with any other speculation of in dividuals. He moved that instead of di now," the Bill be read a second time this day six months." Mr. DICKENSON also spoke against the Bill ; it was an attempt to impose a tax upon 'the buyers of one of the necessaries of life, the coals conveyed by the canal. Mr. C. DUNDAS supported the Bill. The ori ginal shares of £4O only produced 151. to the old iproprietors, though the Company had expended more than 581,400,000. The uncle, taking had, in his. *pi nion, not even the fair protection - afforded to the Ca. ledonian Canal, which was supported by Govern ment. He suggested a Committee to investigate the subject. Mr. PEEL strongly opposed the measure on the same grounds as the preceding speakers, contending that the public had no benefit from it. If this prin ciple were established, the Proptietors of every Canal in Ireland would have the same right of appeal, as there was scarcely one of those Canals that afforded a shilling of profit.—(Hear, hear, hear). —It was proved by the documents that . the Concern was in a flourishing condition. Mr. NEVILLE (who supported the seven Pad doss) supported the Amendment. Mr. PROTHEROE was also against the Bill, and accused' the Company of a breach of faith to wards the Bristol Dock Company. Mr. GORDON opposed the Bill. Its principal Object Was to acquire a coal monopoly. After a few words from Mr. PRESTON, the House divided, when the Bill was lost by a majority of lb to 17. STATR OV AORICULTUBIL Mr. WESTERN, after a tew observations, which we understood to relate to the business before the House, and bis preferring to have the subject dis cussed after the call of Mondiy night, postponed Ibis 'motion on the State of the Agriculture of the Country, to Thursday senisiglit, the 29th haunt.— He also moved for au. Account, of all Monies re ceived as Poor' Rates, in the several Parishes of INCREASZ or SALAMI& Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to-'` hove for an le count of the Salaries received by the Commissioners and other Officers of the Board of Customs and Ex cise of London, stating if any., or what augmenta tion bad been n made to the same, since the Ist of Ja nuary. 1815. Mr. BROUGHAM, before the question was put. wished to be informed whether any augmentation bad heen made In the salaries 'of Officers of the Excise ~osiloo/ed sty board revenge cotters. aurd if so. under I what authority Also,. whether there were any Treasury minutes or correspondence on the subject of increase of salaries between the Treasury and the Officers of the Boards at Customs and Excise, pre 'lions to the Ist of January, 1816 Sir CHARLES MONCK wished to know wbe titer any augmentation bad been made to the salaries of the Officers of the Navy Board? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not see how such questions as these could tie answered, without his giving offence to those Gee. denten whose interrogatories of a similar kind he bad declined answering already. Mr. HO RNE R.—Although Ministers refused to give information to simple questions, on the plea of their privilege to withheld it unless demanded by a motion, he would suggest to them to stop in their mode of proceeding, and prevent the repetition of such questions, by coming down to the House at once with an account of all they had done in the way of the pledged retrenchment, and what they had daily been cutting off since the pledge was given, in order that the public might know if they were really redeeming the pledge or not. Lord CASTLEREAGH deprecated this mode of perpetual questioning. His Majesty's Govern ment, as. the Honourable Member might or ought to know, had a ditty imposed on them by Act of Par liament. to render Such accounts to the House by the 25th of March. Instead, therefore, of the public service being benefited by such questions, as to not only what had been done, but what was likely to be done, or in contemplation of doing. the Honourable Member must feel that they can be of no utility whatever. They seemed to have come down to-day with all their questions reduced to nothing ; and he Hurt it they were ieclioed to press far such general information by motion. according to the practice of Parliament, that they would at least put their questions in such a shape that the Public Offi cers could understand them. The Honourable Mem bers ought to know, that those offices to which they had directed their questions were by no means sine cures; but the persons holding situations in theta had more heavy duty to perform, and were more in volved in the collection of the revenues than any others whatever. His Lordship 'teen deprecated. at some length, such a mode of coming down to Par liament to ask perpetually such questions as it was discretionary . on the part of Ministers to answer. He would ask any experienced Member whether this practice was not now pushed beyond all example Unless it were kept within proper bounds, is could nut fail to embarrass instead of facilitating the public bu siness. The general regulation that had been made compelled his Masty's Government to lay such ac counts before the House at a proper time. Mr. HORNER replied. that the object of the questions was to enable the House to step in time to prevent an increase in the public burdens; if they found by the answers of Ministers that it was their intention to increase the salaries of Public Officers, instead of reducing them. If this interference were not made, and when the Accounts were presented, it should be found that the salaries had been increased. each holder of a place might come and say, like Lord Arden, this income is my freehold.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.) Lord CAS fLEREAGH having said a very few words which seemed to imply an affectation of activity on the part of the Gentlemen opposite, Mr. HORNER rose ag fin, and observed with much warmth, that the Noble Lord talked in a very unusual tone—such a tone as he was sure the House had not been accustomed to hear; and he drought there WAS no Member who most not tee), that in, a season es this, when the whole of the people were ground down to the earth by the pressure of the pub lic burthens, such language was intolerable. The Noble Lord, night after night, held such language as the House ought not tohear—(Hear, hear, hear,) and such as was quite uusuitatile to his skim tion Oa one night the House, or he should rather say the people, were insulted, by being accused of 44 • their ignorant impatience for a relaxation of taxes l"—(Hear, hear, hear.) He repeated the Noble Lord's very words. Even in the di •ion upon the Treaty, when he bad taken upon himself to answer, in all his metaphorical solemnity of language, obru tions by anticipation, which he could not know wool.' ever be made, he talked of the money of the country; and to-night, when it was urged to chew what evi dence there was of any disposition on the part of Mi. nisters to redeem the pledge given by the Crown re specting retrenchments, they were told that there was an Act of Parliament to cause the production of a'. counts of salaries by the 25th of March, and that it they wanted premature information, they might put their questions in writing, in the shape of a motion. The Noble Lord knew too well the practice of Par , liament, not to be aware that questions to Mini , suers across the table could not be put in writing, , It might well be supposed, —Gent the language they ..,. ~. :._~.'. .L.___
