CAUTION. TAYLOR and Co. (successors to *Adam and Co.) beg to Caution the Public against the use of any Paints pur porting to be MINER A f. PAINTS which are not supplied from their Manufactory, or furnished by their appointed Agents, as many persons are imposing upon the Public the refuse of the Gas Works (which has been proved by the highest authorities to be most inju rious, particularly as a covering for wood work) by pirating the ' name of their Paints, which have for upwards of twenty years (not ' withstanding the great and open competition) received such extended patronage from Government, who still continue to use it, and the following Certificates, granted by the highly distinguished Officers in his Majesty's service, will fully prove its durability and economy, notwithstanding the apparent cheapness of these spurious and inetfi dent imitations. The ingredients these Paints are composed of are Manufactured at the Works erected and conducted under the late Earl of Dundonald's Patent, to which no other house has access. The Mineral Paints are a cheap and durable coating for all out door work, such as Wooden, Iron, and Canvas Roofs, Sheds, Barn, Out-houses, Fences, Palings, Gates, Boat and Barge bottoms, Ships' sides and upper works, Wood and Iron Bridges, Docks, Chain Cables, and all Wood and Iron Work under water, or exposed to the weather; for Tiles on Roofs, to prevent them imbibing water and being injured by frost ; and for coating Brick walls to prevent damps. No wood coated with these Paints will be worm-eaten, nor will insects or vermin of any kind inhabit hot-bed frames, or other places, coated with them, and they will be found•an effectual cure for the dry rot; being composed entirely of Mineral substances they . are insoluble in water, and thereby resist moisture in a manner su perior to all other preparations.

" This is to certify, that by order of General Mercer, at chi desire of Ifieseira. M•Adam and Co. we made experiments with their preparations of Mineral Brown Paint in April and Sep tember, 1806. The situation of the wood and iron work made use ,oLin this experiment is very high, and entirely exposed to the wind from the Channel, where it is difficult to, find any coating able to resist the weather. The paint, after having withstood the winter in.the above situation, has formed a very hard and com pact body on both wood and iron work ; the wood when cut is ,bard and very dry ; the iron free from every appearance of rust.— ' From the present appearance of the Mineral Brown Paint, its hard, solid, and impenetrable state, there is every reason to believe that it will defend the wood and iron work for years against the 'effect of weather and the moisture of the atmosphere; and we give it as our opinion, that it is a useful coating for wood and iron work exposed to the weather or to damp, and consider it to be cheaper toms any otherilsat can be procured.

Lord COLCHESTER presented a Petition from the Borough of Malden in favour of the BlM—Laid on the table. The Marquis or DOWNSIIIRE presented similar Petitions from Bermondsey, and front the Alerchants and Traders of Dublin. Laid on the tablt. Mr. Hues presented further Return , : from the Equitable Loan Bank Company, pursuant to the order of the House.—Laid on the table. Petitions against the Catholic Claims were presented—By Lord Kirov:or, from a Parish in the County of Salop, and front the Town and Borough of Taunton ' in the County of Somerset ; by the Loan Cum:cm:Ara, from Maiden, Edinron, Gloucester, and three .Parishes in the County of Sussex; by the Earl of FAIRMONT, from Brighton, signed by 500 individuals in three hours ; by Lewd An sat, front Peterborough ; by Earl 0' New., from a Parish in the County of Cork ; by the Duke of Bzeuroler, from Bristol, and from the Parish of St. Stephen's, in the 'tante city.; by the Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY ' from Croydon ; by the Earl of ABIN9OOII, from Abingdon; by Lord Denoting, from several Parishes in she County of Carmarthen ; by the Duke of RIMAND, from five Parishes in the County of Suffolk, and from the Town and Borough of Leicester; by the Bishop of Basil and Wett.s, from the Clergy of an Archdeaconry in Wiltshire, and from the Town of Frame and its vicinity; by the Bishop of Lotions, front the Parish of St. Mary's Botolph; by the Bishop of CHITiTISR, from several Parishes in the County of Lancaster ; by the Bishop of Prressoeouon, front the - Town of Peterborough, and from Kilsby, in the Counts of North ampton; by the Bishop of ilitearoan, from the Towns of Lewes, New Shoreham ' ' and Ryde in the County of Sussex; by the Bishop of• Sr. Darn ' s, from several Deaneries and Parishes in the Diocese of St. David's; by the Earl of Simmons?, from the Protestant Dissenters of Gower-street Chapel, and from Hemel Hempsted ; by the Bishop of Li:comet front several Deaneries and Parishes in the Diocese of Lincoln. The Right Rev. Prelate then stated that he had had the honour of presenting a great number of Petitions against the Catholic Claims, though his Diocese was one of the most extensive, and a Noble Lord opposite had contended a few days .since that most Petitions came front the small Dioceses and few front the large ones. He declared that he had never,directly or in directly, used his influence to obtain any of those Petitions; for he did not think it becoming in a person who should have to decide on a question, to seek to procure Petitions on the subject. When asked by individuals whether they ought to petition? he had an. swered, that if they thought it necessary, be should consider it his duty to present the Petitions which they might send him, .but that he never would do anything which would have the tendency to ask fur Petitions. The Earl of DERBY had been entrusted with a Pe -66. n from the Inhabitants of Manchester, signed by 16,578 individuals, in favour of Catholic Enaancipa • ion. This Petition had been adopted at a Public Meet. ing regularly convened by the Boroughreeve, and w.r. .igne.i by him and the most respectable inhabitants. Had it been left before the Public more than one week, the num ber of signatures which it bore would have been trebled. As it was, it spoke the sense of the great majority of the people of that town and its vicinity. The Bishop of CHESTER, said, that he should have a Petition to present from the sane town to-mot row, against the Catholic Claims, signed by nearly 40,( 00 pet sons. With respect to that now offered by the Noble Earl, he had been put into possession of some facts which he should state to their Lordships. He under stood that when the Public Meetilg had been convened, the room had been filled at an early hour by an equal numbers of friends and opponents to Catholic Emanci pation, and that after much discussion the question had been put to adjourn sine die, which bad been carried by a spew of hands. The opponents of the Catholic Claims considering that the question was settled, had retired from the room, but had no sooner left it, that% a rush of the lowest class of Irish labourers had taken place and once more filled the room. A Petition in favour of the Catholic Claims , had then been proposed and of course carried, and out of 16,000 names affixed to it, he had no doubt that 10 or 12,000 were those of the lowest Irish labourers. Indeed, when the Petition which he should have to present had been prepared in consequence of these proceedings, some of those Irish labourers went to the places where it lay and scored away many of the names, or put crosses in the hope of creating objections to its being received.— This, however, had been discovered in time, and the injured sheets had bee' removed, so as to reduce the number of names to 38,000. After hearing these facts stated. could their Lordships believe that the Petition presented by the Noble Earl expressed the sense of the majority of the inhabitants of Manchester? So far from that being the case, it would be seen that the first names inscribed on the Pe. tition after that of the Boroughteeve, were the names of Irish In, bourers of the lowest class. The Earl o DERBY denied the correctness of' the statement of the Reverend Prelate. With re spect to the latter part of it, he had certainly been misinformed, for the names which followed that of the Boroughreeve were those of Mr. Birley, a Gentleman of property, and the Commander of .a volunteer corps, who led on the Yeomanry on the 16th of August, and those of other respectable Gentlemen.. He. therefore maintained his opinion, that the Petition which he had ptesecited spoke the sentiments of a great majority of the inhabitants of Manchester, and he trusted that such Petitions would induce their Lordships to adopt a Bill which was not less necessary to the tranquillity of Ireland than to the prosperity of the whole empire. After a few words.from the Earl of Luiteasce, Viscount CLI7DIN, and the Bishop of Cussesa, the Petition was laid on the table. The Earl of DERBY then presented a Petition from the Uni tariane of Liverpool, in favour of the Catholic Claims.—Laid on the table. Earl Dus'.i' ,presented a Petition from the Inhabitants of the town of Gravesend and its vicinity, signed by 5,000 individuals; in favour of the Catholic Claims.—Lord HOLLAND presented a similar Petition from Leighton Buzzard, in the county of Bedford.—Lord K►xo presented a Petition to .the same effrct, front the Unitarians of Nibitchurch, Ja the county of Wilts.—The Earl of Gosmao pre sented a Petition for relief from the Roman Catholics of a Parish F in the County of Dublia—Laid on the table. LONDON PSTITION. The islasquis of LANBDOWN held a Petition, which, though signed by something short of two hun dred names represented property to .the amount of between, twenty. and thirty mations. sterling. It was from the principal. Mercha.,lts, Bankers, and Bank Di-, rectors of .the City of London, ,who, were deeply in terested in the question, and.were deliberately cf opi nion ,that c4pital,was withheld, from:going to Ireland by the refusal of the Legislature to renacky e. tlse, disibili ties under. whicli,the Ca.holics laboumd.

The Petition having been read at length and lam oil The Marquis of LA NSDOWN presentod other Petitions in favour of the Bill of Emancipation, from the Unitarians of dtse-street Chapel, Liverpool; from the Rev. —.6— Ilatiehiy, Rector of Hulywell ; and from the Catholic inhabitants of Liken ' mere, in the county of Kerry. His Lordship then stated that the Petition which he had pre sented last week from the Parish of St. Luke's, in favour of the Catholic Claims, was not signed by the Rector, as he h:id been led to suppose In consequence of a Card left with it bon g inset ib.-d Dr. Jones, Rectory House; bat by the Resident Curate of the Parish. NEW BILLS. Mr. Bananas and others front the Commons bmught the Chelsea Pensioners Regulation Bill, the Ireland Impounding Di.- tress Bill, the Warehousing Corn Bill, and a great number of Pri. ' vate Bills, which were read a first time. Mr. Mavusa and Mr. TRAVERS, from the East Country Dock, and the Grand Surrey Canal, presented accounts of the nuintivr of ships ind'thelr tonnage, which entered that Deck and Camil in Itl34.—Laid on the table. Mr. 'Alison presented Accounts of the Annual Ilevrnue and Charges of the Bart India Company.—Laid on the [A) Adjourned.. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The &MAKER took the Chair At Four o'Clock. Mr. WHITBILEAD brought up the Report of the Committee on the Remington Road Bill. ,Mr. B. SUMNER objected•to the Bill, because it gave an un-' just protection to certain property through which it pa4:ed, also on the (mind of its partial opetation.—Recontm:t ed. Mr. J. MA* WELL moved the third reading ef the Retr frewshire Road Bill, which was read a third time and {aced. Mr. LYN DSAY presented a Petition• front the CAainber of Commerce of Dundee,• against the Clyde Navigation 14 1, the table.—Several Reports on Private Bills were bruught up, Apd laid on the table. WEST INDIA COMPANY BILL. Mr. MANNING moved the Order of the Day for the third reading of this Bill. Mr.EVANS opposed the third reading, on the ground of its tendency to placr.the slave population in the West India in a worse condition than they were at present. Mr. T. WILSON denied that such would be the ef fect of the Bill. On the contrary, by the inereAsed capital that would be embarked in West India property,' the condition of the slave would ls• improved considerably, for there would exist greater means of relieving his wants, preserving kiln from starvatien,and in every respect contributing to his comfort. Dr. LUSHINGTON was opposed to the present Bill; :from.the way in which it must, necessarily operate with respect to the slave population of the West Indies. By its operation the plantations would, in a great degree, become vested in this Company, instead of in the hands of individuals, and it would consequently be productive of all the evils which were entailed upon the slaves, by having the concerns of the West India Estates conducted not by proprietors themselves, but by agents. The passing of the Bill would also he opposed to the Resolutions of 1825. As the establishment of this Company was calculated to check manu mission, and thereby to continue the present system of slavery l in the West Indies, he felt it his duty to oppose the third reading. Mr. HUME would suppose, from the spe.ch of Hon. and Learned Friend, that the proprietors of the West Indian Estates resided on their estates. Now, it was well knoivn that it was no such thing—(llear, hear). As to maiturni... don, he thought the slaves would have a better chance of being ma • sumitted under a Company than under individuals; he would therefore support the present Bill. Sir I. COFFIN—Sir, I ,thick this a very good Bill; and I hope it will pass. Mr. SYKES said there were three prominent objec tions to this Bill: first, the difficulty of manumission; secondly, that it would have the effect of continuing the present system of slavery in the West Indies, by enlisting 40,000 additional enemies to the liberation of the slaves; and thirdly, that the price of West India produce would be augmented by the establishment of this Company. Mr. R. GORDON said , that the oily object of the Bill was to enable pi oprietors to borrow money-from a Company instead of from individuals. lie quite differed from the Honourable Member for Hull (Mr. Sykes) that this measure would deteriorate—it was his (Mr. Gordon's) conviction it would ameliorate the condition of the slave, as far as the condition of the slave would be affected by it. Sir J. YORKE did nut pretend to understand much t f Went India property ; but he could not understand how the mortgages of West India property would be in a better condition by the pass ing of this Bill than they were before. Mr. F. BUXTON admitted that the reduction in the value of slave labour had been greatly seduced, and that that reduction was greatly owing to the frequent agitation of the'slave question in that House. He ad mitted both these facts, but he owned he did not regret them. It had been said, in favour of this measure, that it would serve the Colonies by increaing the number of those who would take an interest in it. He would admit that there might be a - greater number of persons connected with it, but he was not prepared to admit the inference of advantage derivable from it. The in terests of the West India Colonies were already, fully represented in that House. Mr. 'Fox 'had forrnedy said that there was no part of the Empire that might be said to be more fully represented than our West India Colonies ; and he saw it mentioned in a Jamaica Ga. zette lately, that on any question tile Planters could command in that House a phalanx of two , hundred Members-, (Hear, dear).—He regretted that phalanx posserod such power es he saw it invariably exercised, not in a display of its pure strength, but in oppoiltion to every measure of humanity and justiee for the relief of the Slave population. So far from relief to the slave pops&. lotion, he apprehended great and augmented evil by haying pro f prietors of four millions of money intereated to that very, large amount, in continuing the present system of slavery in our _West India Colonies. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON was induced to support the present Bill, as from tl;e manner in which its capital would be employed, it would tend to the relief tit the slave populati..n as far as they would be affected by it. The Company only sought for leave to sue and' to be sued, as in the case of individuals. This sews not arming them with any alarming powl.r : it would en. able them to relieve many of the distresses now com plained of as a great evil. The planters would, by tint Bill, be enabled to relieve them.elves horn temporary distress at a greater advantage than they now could; and they who were so anxious to relieve the sufferings of the slave population sLculd remember that Mr. Wilberforce, in arguing this question in 17/19,contelided that the comfort of the slave should alwiys be tooeamitant With and in proportion to the welfare of his mason.. .Ole contemplated mach advantage fkorn•the putting of the present measure, and de nied that there was anything in the eriociple or details of the' Bill at variance with the resolutions of 1883, as contended for by the lion. . and Learned Member. _ Mr. BROUGHAM had a most deci2ed objection to this .
