" Mr. Powets,, from the Commissioners of Shoreham Harbour, delivered an account of the harbour receipts and disbursements for the current year. RECOGNITION OF SOUTH AMERICA. The Marquis of LANSDOWN, as this was the last day of the Session, wished to take the opportunity of making a few observations relating to South America. Having at the commencement of the Ses sioa called the attention of the House to that subject, and having heard the declaration of the King's Minis ters, he was surprised to find four months had elapsed without any steps being taken to establish that relation with South America which, in the feeling of the coun try, was most desirable. In the motion which he made he did not consider himself at liberty to form any opi nion as to what ought to be then done. Ile had the satisfaction to find the wish of the country adopted by the King's Ministers. All his object in the present in stance was, to impress on the attention of Government and Parliament, that, consistent with the declaration made in February last, no considerable time should elapse without the Independence of South America being recognised. He might consistently state, that if no opposition was offered by Spain herself, this coun try was relieved from any confined line of conduct. In consistency with the ptinciples of liberty cherished in this country, and every part of the world, he called on his Majesty's Mini,ters to consider the importance of the step they were expected to take, and that it was called for by the honour of this country, as well as by the mercantile interests of Europe. It was said by some the recognition would be useless, and that it might be dispensed with; but he might truly say, if such recog nition was trivial, all they had read upon the law of stations was useless. He knew of nothing more inju• riots to the country than to prevent this recognition taking place. Every well-wisher of England and its commerce must he most desirous of seeing trade with South America established on the best foundation. The Noble Marquis added, that he did not speak of the in dependence of every part of South America. Some parts might not be firmly established, but there were twO States, namely, Colombia and Buenos Ayres, in a state to admit of commercial relations. Those States were as firmly established as any in &nom far more so than those States which withheld recognition of their independence. He took this opportunity to express • his confident hope rec dr igu revicause the nest Session of Parliament, the tion so much desired "veld take full effect. prrrlvir.r!."r -- RMWff! , FTWIP ~~~ POOL gag tbs' la" Earl of LIMPOO duct venhoseor, Awing the yes* Session, regirif to Sieth Amettca,Taed`been perfectly plain, t• and 'intelligible. When the, Noble Marge at the subject first under estniideration, be rs tiered that three points were to be decided. First, tether there was any connection between this country her States which could bar the consideration of )ject? He took the liberty of then stating, and ..sis instance he repeated it, that this country was. under no engagement, expressed dr implied, with any State or States of Europe, that could preclude the rio. cognition of South American independence that day, or to-morrow. They were free to-morrow to exercise their own discretion, and they considered it-a British question. On the next point, namely, the views of the Government of Spain, he stated on a fOrmer occasioe that it was material, on the pert of the King's Goveni., ment, to induce Spain to be the first to recognize the Independence of America, because the recognition of the mother country was the only recognition de jure, and until that event happened, there would always be some inconvenience; bet he never stated that the denial of recognition on the part of Spain would be the means to bar this country from making the recognition. He had no difficulty in saying, that every effort to induce Spain to make a recognition having failed, the Government oil this country bad not withheld itself from making the recognition under a sense of any restriction. They considered themselves free hi policy of every kind to act in that respect without the consent of the Govern ment of Spain. The .third proposition was, whether Ministers had sent out Commissioners to ascertain the' real state of those districts which claimed indepen dence?—whether they were in a reasonable state of per manency to furnish the grounds of complete recogni tion dither independence ? The last, and only ground on which the question stood, was, whether information had been received? He 'could assure the House that information had not been 'received. This country was under no obligation to any other on the question of this recognition. The simple state of the case was, that in formation for which they vide waiting had not arrived, and that fact he considered a sufficient answer to the Noble Marquis's observations. DISSENTIENT Peeks. Lord lIOLLAND rose, pursuant to the order of the day, to call the attention of-the Lords to a dis4nt eh tered on the Journals by the Duke of Newcastle and Lord Abingdon, against the Bill to enable the Earl Marshal and Deputy to discharge the duty of that high office without taking the Oath of Supremacy. The Noble Baron said he should move the Minutes of pro ceeding; upon the above Bill be read, also the Dissent entered on the Journals. He felt satisfaction when he saw the House numerously attended, and was also pleased to see several Noble Lords present who could corroborate his statements. (Here the minutes were read by the Clerk. After some conver sation across the table, between Lords Ltvgaroot. and HouAtm, it was agreed, that the minutes of 'the first two days should only be rut!, in as tar as they related to the Earl Marshal's Bill, but those of Monday entire.) His Lordship also moved the reading of the following PROTEST, " Dissesstrnsr—Because, on general principles, I object to any concession to Roman Catholics, either collectively or individually ; and the Bill violates the Constitution, by enabling a Papist to hold Irish once near the person of a Protestant King, and dispenses with those oaths which Protestants are bound to take. Because the prac deal effect of dispensing with the oath of supremacy to Papists, must of necessity create a, constitutional jealousy on the part of the Pro testants, thereby generating feuds and animosities, most especially at the present time, when Papists avow their intentions by language and Ms so undisguised gm 'lx; canoes be misunderstood. " Because to sanction the separation of the oaths of allegiance and supremacy. is to establish a most dangerous aad abiesolos cedent, inasmuch as the union of Church and State forms the bans of our constitutional greatness and excellence, freedom and secu rity. And lastly, because at this very late period of the Session, and at the early hour of five o'clock, before Peers arrived at the Mouse, the present decision cannot be considered to be the sense of this House, many Peers being absent, and the House taken quite unawares. For these reasons, and having the welfare of my country indelibly at heart, I solemnly protest against this Bill, and other measures of a similar nature which are in a constant course of progression. (Signed) "NEWCASTLE. "ABINGDON.' Lord HOLLAND complained of that part of the dissent which stated that the Bill had been hurried through the House. So far from that being the general complexion of the transaction, he might say it was a Bill relating to a matter which had been before the House. He should be the last man to trench on the privilege of minorities to dissent, but certainly the terms of the dissent were not justified by the facts. The Bill had been recommended by the Noble Lord who pro posed the Bill to relieve Persons from liability to take the oath of supremacy in the Excise and Customs; yet it was said the House was taken by surprise. The mat ter propounded in the last Session was, that it was brought on at a late period of the Session. It was not late with reference to other years. It was a week later last year when the Irish Insurrection Bill was intro. duced. Were they to understand that whenever a lwv was to be introduced to coerce the people, the period of the Session was not material; but when they brought in a Bill to benefit an individual they were to pause: the ground trembled under them, and, it WAS dangerous to proceed ? The dissent went on to say 'the Bill was brought on as early as five o'clock. Any time, when Parliament was sitting, was a proper time ; but the general rule was to proceed to business at five o'clock. The next proposition was, that it was read after the Peers had left the House. He could only say, in answer to that part of the dissent, thathe should have been ready to postpone it, had he thought the wish of any N oble Lord pointed that way. Upon the whole, the language of the dissent made it most dangerous. He had never known all the Lords of Parliament present on any Bill discussed by that House. He would say that none were taken by surprise on the subject. He theudst the House would admit it was impossible to leave such a statement on the Journals. The Noble Lord cited a case of pivs• gestation entered on the Journals, when the Duke of Newcastle moved to expunge the whole of the Protest. They had the opinion of 1722, that there was reason for expunging improper Protests. A Bill, called the Bishop's Protest, was passed; the measure was protested against, and a counter statement entered on the Journals. The Noble Lord concluded by moving to enter upon the Jour- I nab a more correct account of the proceeding: on the Bill, instead of the dissent of which be complained. The Earl of ABINGDON said, he had entered Lie, pretest upon constitutional feelings, without any head. Bty to the Earl Marshal. If he had committed any error with respect to the statement of time, he should submit to the correction of the House. The Duke of NEWCASTLE said he was one who &mod the dissent. He had no hostile feeling to the lFurl Marshal, but would rather do him any service. He had considered what be signed true, or he should net have been the man to put Isis name to it. He con sidered the Bill had been indecently carried, and would net deny the protest he had made. His opposition was . - ----..T..~.~.. r~•-:z-~s~.~s se Lame* : the sense of the Muse passed lam a lap, there .. He supposed the Home would sot do that, therefore he suggested that the real state of the proceedings on the all should be entered on the Journals. He did not impose the MI, because, as a lawyer, he considered the Oath of Allegiance contained all the spirit of the Oath of Supremacy, which was only passed to explain the former. Lord HOLLAND finally moved, that the Noble Lords who had signed the Protest might be allowed to aflix their signatures to such parts of it as they were convinced were true, and expunge the rest. The Motion was agreed to arm. dir. and the House adjourned.. - - The I dsy pbblishod,. Mg's( oion6.

The Sezawra took the chair at half-past three o'clock ; soon after I which the House was summoned in the usual manner to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given by Commission to seve ral Bills. The terries, on his return, stated that the Royal As sent had been given to several Acts, which he enumerated.—(See House of Lords). Mr. HART DAVIS presented a Petition from the Retail Brewers of Bristol, against the clause of the last Beer MU, which prevented their selling table beer in quantities less than nine gallons. Mr. HUME brought up the report of the Committee on the standing orders relating to Private Bills. The Hon. Gentleman said there were but twelve Committee-reems, exclusive of the smoking-room, and there had, during the Session, been thirty-six private Committees and eight public Committee4appointed to sit on one day.—The Report was ordered to be prWed. Sir JOHN NEWPORT said, he had a Petition to present from the Roman Catholics of the City and County of Waterford, signed by 2700 persons—he would take upon himself to say, as well enti tled to regard, for property and Intelligence, as any equal number of petitioners that ever approached that Houle. The Petition stated, that a proad line of demarcation was drawn between the Catholics and Protestants by the penal laws, which was the great source of discord in Ireland , and prayed hat harmony might be restored by therepeil of all partial laWa.—The Petition was read, ordered to lie on the table, and be printed. Mr. BROUGHAM moved for a Return df the Corporation Of: kers in Ireland, distinguishing residents from non-residents. Mr. GO UL BURN made some objection; he was not prepared for the m6tion, and was afraid it would be difficult to make the re- turn pr used. Mr. lIU ME hoped the motion would be agteed to. A similar return had Igen moved for Scotland, and, after some difficulty, had been granted;. and the return *as now on the,tible of the House. Mr. GOULDURN refuted ids assent, and the motion was ne gatived without a division. '_ Mr. HUME moved the ie;feral Resolutions contained in the Report of die Committee sin Private BilG, which were agreed to._ Sir JOSEPH YORK(; asked whether, as part of the new bidid ing adjoining Weatmlnster Hall was now taking down, it was in tended to provide any more accommodation fur that House, by in creasing the number of Committee.roonis Mr. HERRIKS said the alterations were making %hider the re commendation of s Committee of the House'. Mr. CA LCR AFT said, he thought the subject would be brought before the House, or he would have propoied the adoption of a plan for the new buildings, which had been drawn by a Member of that, House. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said the new buildings at West minster would be a disgrace to the country as long as they were al lowed to .land. Every one whokad seen the planproposed by the Honourable Member of that House must regret that it had not been adopted. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said, he would be glad to see a disposition in the House to carry into execution a plan suited to the magnificence of the surrounding buildings, and the greatness of the country. THE SURREY MAGISTRATES. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, he held in his hand 3 F i cti tion from all the Debtors confined in the Surrey jail, complaining of the power given by the Jail Act to the Visiting Magistrates ; and from the manner in which the unpaid Magistrates eiercised the powers given to them by that Act, he thought it would appear to the House to be imperative on them to take care that these powers were not increased. By that Act, as it now stood, the Visiting Magistrates had the power of con fining every Debtor to breai and water. This Petitidn relatcd principally to the Surrey Magistrates, and highly as he respetteal many of thaws imilopicsalig. 1.• must say, that their treatment of an individual now in their custody, a Mr. O'Callaghan. was most unjustifiable. Generally speaking, the prisoners in the Surrey Jail were treated with great severity. They were allowed only one hour in the day on the week day, and half an hour on the Sunday, to see their friends, and receive aid of food, &c. and so strict was the order on this subject, that lately a little child going into the prison to see her mother, and having a piece of a bun in her hand, it was taken from her, lest she should give it to her mother. And who were the persons who were thus treated? Why Debtors, persons not convicted of any crime. In the King's Bench, the Fleet, and even the Marshalsea prisons, the rules were very different. The prisoners in these prisons were at full liberty to see their friends until nine or ten at night, and to get themselves all the comforts they could in the prison ; whilst in the Surrey Jail the prisoners were not allowed to see any friend after five o'clock, and they were all locked in the cells at six o'clock, and there was no possibility of their obtaining any comforts within the prison—these prison regulations were, in fact, cruel and ridiculous, and ought to be put an end to. It would appear that the Magistrates in Session had no power to alter them; this had been stated in the extraordinary case of Mr. O'Callaghan. The power was in the Visiting Magis trates, and he did not know that even the Secretary of State had the power of interfering. This Petition was couched in the most respectful terms, and asked to have the measures of the Jail Act put an end to. Mr. DENISON said it was unjust to blame the Ma gistrates for these regulations. The law was alone to blame. He certainly did not agree with many of the provisions of the Jail Act. He thought, in many re spects, they were too severe. He thought the time al lowed for obtaining provisions was too short, or ought to be three hours at least, instead of one ; - and he also considered that the time of admitting their friends ought to be extended to six o'clock instead of five. As to Mr.' O'Calla g han, he did not know that individual, he was not present at the Session, but he certainly did think that he had been treated with unmerited severity. He (Mr. Denison) had this morning a letter from Lord Eastnor, the Noble Chairman who presided at this trial, expressing his regret that that Gentleman should, by mistake, have been subjected to such inconvenience, and he (Mr. Denison) must confess, that he did hope the Right Hon. Secretary of State would take an op portunity of recommending to his Majesty to remit the remaining part of his sentence. Mr. O'Callaghan had, in fact, himself laboured under a mistake; he considered himself secure of an acquittal. He thought the Ladies under his protection had been insulted, and that he had been justified in resenting that insult. He looked for ward confidently to an acquittal, and, therefore, did not, as he might have done, remove the proceeding from the Court of Sessions to the Court of King's Bench. He was convicted of the assault, and the Magistrates had no course to adopt but to send him to the County Jail. Mr. MABERLY censured the provisions of (Wail Act, to which, he said, he would next Session call the attention of the House. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought the Magistrates should suggest what alterations should be made in the Act in question, and the House would then take those sugges tions into consideration. As to the case of Mr. O'Cal. -- Pe9r7re. • khan, he bad see* Lord Eastnoi this turning on Ise subject, and his Lordship had submitted all the seridence in this ease to his consideration. He could not enter into the private feelings of individuals ; itt his si tuation be could only look to facts. Mr. O'Callagha n was charged with an offence against the law, and on the evidence the Jury found him guilty ; the Court pr o = flounced a sentence, according to the magnitude of the offence; he (Mr. Peel) inquired whether the Court had taken into consideration the recommendation of the Jury? the Noble Lord said they bad. Under these cir. cumstances, he (Mr. Peel) did not consider this see. tence as unnecessarily severe, nor did he consider this a case which called on him to recommend to his Majesty to interpose to suspend the sentence. He bad made inquiries this day, and now found, that in consequence of the orders given by the Member for Surrey (Mr. De nison) Mr. O'Callaghan had now more liberty ; lle w „ s allowed to supply himself with provisions, had News papers, &c. and all the comforts which a prison would allow of. Sir W. DR CRESPIGNY condemned the provisions of the Jail Act. Sir IL WILSON observed on the severe treatment which Mr. O'Callaghan had received, as well as the severity of his sentence. Lord EAST NOR had been absent from town until within a few hours, and would postpone the observations he had co mike un this case. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT commented in strong terms on the treatment Mr. O'Callaghan had received. As an Englishman, he declared he would rather have been hanged than subjected to such insult as this Gen tleman had been. He trusted he should soon see this Jail Act done away, atid - the old system of placing the Jail under the care and controul of that Constitutional officer, the Sheriff, revived. . -- Mr. HOBHOUSE again adverted to the sentence of Mr. O'Callaghan, which, he contended, was most cruel and unjust. He must call the attention of the Right Honourable Secretary of State to the case of his brother, who, for an offence similar to that imputed to Mr. O'Callaghan, namely, holding a horsewhip over the head of a man who had insulted a Lady under his pro tection, and which he (Mr. Hobhouse) contended, was committing no offence at all. The Right Honourable ,Gentleman's brother was sentenced to one months im prisonment in the King's Bench Prison, where he had liberty to see his friends and enjoy himselE Under these circumstances, he thought the Right Honourable Secre tary was imperatively called on to take Mr. O'Callag han's case into consideration. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he had the very case al luded to in his consideration. But let it be recollected that the individual in question was not only sentenced to one month's imprisonment, but to pay , a fine of 5001. and to find sureties to the amount of 80001. for three years.—The Petition was then brought up, Mr. DENISON again defended the Magistrates of the county of Surrey. A more humane set of indivi duals did not exist ; but all mortals were liable to err ; and he would say to those who now were so ready to censure, " Let him who is without sin throw the first stone."—The Petition was read,and ordered to be pi inted. Mr. ABERCROMBY then rose to present a Petition from Mr. O'Callaghan. This case had made a great sensation in the mind of the public, and when the facts of the case, the recommendation of the Jury, the sentence, and the subsequent treatment which Mr. O'Callaghan bad received were remembered, no one would be sur prised that all the sympathies of the public were in favour of the person condemned to suffer; and when the Right Honourable Gentleman cconildered the case, and the statements which had already been made to-night, he could not but see that Mr. O'Ciiiiskhan had already been subjectedlo a punishment much More severe than either the July who found him guilty, or the Court who sentenced him, intended or anticipated.—(The Honour able Member then read the Petition, whiCh contained a detail of the circumstances connected with Mr.O'Callag han's case, which have already been before the, public). —Thus it appeared that for the last week the Petitioner had been subjected to an unmerited degree of punish ment. Mr. O'Callaghan did not, however, wish so much to draw attention to his own case as he did to in: duce the House to look into the subject generally. Lord EASTNOR said, the Magistrates had given their most serious attention to Mr. O'Callaghan's ease l The provocation, of which se much had been said, did not appear to them to be so great as was now repre sented. The assault was clearly made out, and the Court felt it to be their painful duty, as far as in thetas lay, to protect the peace of the public ; and even now, when he reflected upon the sentence, he could not con sider the sentence as severe, whatever might be the case as regarded the severity of treatment be had since received. Mr. MABERLY thought it was the duty of the Surrey Magis trates (Mr. O'Callaghan having been subjected to such an excess of severe treatment) to conic forward and strongly solicit the Right Honourable Secretary of State to recommend to his Majesty to remit what remained of his sentence. Lord EASTNOR said, Mr. O'Callaghan's treatment bad been mush mere severe than was intended. There certainly must have been Min Mistake in that respect. Arses *or words from Mr. AMMAMOT, the Petition was re edy...pad. and ordered to be printed. fah secretary PEEL brought up the Repot of the Commis sionsalpotnted tis enquire into the state of Education id Ireland. to be printed. HUSH ACT. Mr.HUTCHINSON then rose to move,that the evi dence taken before the Irish Insurrection Committee. should be laid before the House. The Hon. Gentleman observed, he was at a loss to know on what ground this motion was to be opposed. There was 'nothing in the evidence which reflected on Lord Wellesley, or his Go. mamma ; a garbled statement of the evidence bad gone abroad, and he could not but consider it most desirable that a correct copy of it should go'forth to the Public. He contended that there were many instances of re being printed, before the whole of the evidence of re ports had been laid before the House. In this case be could see no objection that could be offered against the printing of this evidence, or the injury to be apprehended to the public from it. The only reason must be to keep the British Public ignorant of the insult and oppression under which Ireland was kept. The House of Commons would not do its duty, finless is came to a vote to publish this evidence as far as it had gone. If it was given to the public. much would be done towards probing the wounds of Ireland to the very bottom. He wished it done for the sake of the Com mittee, because it would no doubt show to Ireland the extensive enquiries that it had made into the evils that oppressed her. Without that, garbled statements would go forth to the public, and Ireland would only perceive that she owed to the Committee the hateful measure of the Insurrection Act. Ile wished to know what had been done as to the labouring poor in Ireland, half a million of which was supported by the beads of fa milies on sd. or 6d. a-day ?
