Mr. Gaszazr., from Council O ffi ce, presented C o pi es of Or ders in Council respecting the import and export trade with the Kingdom of Sweden and the free Port of Bremen. Laid on the table. The Duke of MONTROSE reported his Majesty's gracious Answer to the Address of the Hones stating that the King had given orders that the Eleventh Rep ort of the Commissioners of Inquiry on English Charidea, together with the Appendix, be laid before their Lordships. Mr. Bloc.= and others, from the Commons, brought up the Weights and Measures Bill and a private Bill, which were read a Ann time. - The Glebe Lands and Parsonage Houses Bill was read a third time, and returned, with amendments, to the Commons. The Reports of the Baring and Green Divorce Pills were received. The Earl il ROSRBERRY presented a Petition from the Churchwardens, Overseers, and Parish of St. Peter's, Cornhill, against the Assessed Taxes. HI should express no opinion either for or against the object which the Petitioners had - in view, but he thought it his duty to Pay that the Petition was numerously and most respectably signed.—Laid on the table. The House went into a Committee on the Scotch Judicature Bill. The Earl of ROSEBERRY said, that although it was his ori ginal conviction that none but professional persons were competent to pronounce an opinion on the matters embraced by this measure, yet having.been ocp of the individuals appointeAlly their Lordships , to inquire Into the subject, he bad tbovght it his duty to take pains to inform himself. The result of his investigation was, that it ap peared to him that several objects of considerable utility to Scot land would be obtained by. the 13111. Whether its machinery were the-best that could be adapted or trot, he would not pretend to say, but considering that the judicial forms and proceedings in England were superior to those of Scotland, he should cordially vote for a measure intended to introduce them as improvements into the lat ter country. Viscount 11Iet.vrt.xt and the Loan CF4ANCILLOR then, proposed a few verbal amendments, which were adopted after fOTOC observa tions from the Earl of .MIDERDALL . The Douse then resumed, and the Bill was reported and ordered to be printed with amendments. Viscount AIELVILLE postponed the Committee on the Scotch Juries Bill 0 this day se'nnigbt.—Adjuurned. Resolved Unaninsontly, That this Gait hAve observed with regret and disappointment, - tie measures proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer far the 'eduction of Taxes. They ate st►ongly confirmed in the sentiments they have recently expressed by theit Petition to the Honourable the House of Com inons, anti whatever may ►e the policy of reducing the duty upon Wine and Luxury, they decidedly deplore the continuance of the House and Window Taxes, which have so long and so heavily pressed open the must industrious Classes of Society. That the relief which arises to the Community from the remis sion of direct Taxes, is immediate and substantial, while other modes of 5a sire problematical, and are often more beneficial to individuals than to the Public. That independently of other objections which exist to the pre. sent systeat, numerous Surcharges occasion die most veracious contests in every part of the Kingdom. That although this Court are anzioui to uphold that liberal policy which may promote the Interests of Commerce, they feel bound to declare that they believe the People of Great Britain, in common with the Citizens of London, are unanimously opposed to the continuance of the House and Window Duties.

Mr. HUME lose to call the attention of the House to the motion of which he had given notice, that no Mem ber should be allowed to vote for or against any qui"- tion in which he had a direct pecuniary interest. The , law of Parliament in this, as in other cases, was chiefly collected from precedents, and it was thus found, by a reference to the Journals of the House, that Members were prohibited from voting where their own interest in favour of Bills was concerned. It was said, however, that no cases were on record where individuals were precludeciftom exercising this right, because they might be,lnterested against a question. With the view of getting the House to draw some line which would equally operate on both panics so circumstanced, he brought the subject now before them, and he thought the House would do well to reconsider the poem law and usage of 'Parliament in this particular. If it should be found that adhering•to former precedents was inju rious, the practice ought to be abolished. All he wished was, that a rule should be laid down affecting the two parties interested for ana against measures, which would secure to the decisions of the House of Commons on all occasions the respect of the whole community, and not allow any ground to challenge the votes or proceedings of Parliament. As a high Court for the adjudication of the most important concerns of the nation, he con ceived that, like other but inferior Cow ts, it ought to adopt the course he suggested. It was well known, for instance, that- when Jurors had an interest for or against the issue they were,summoned to try, their fitness was challenged, and they in consequence set aside. If that attic held universally in-the inferior Courts, he saw no reason why it should not also hold in Parliament. The laws governing that House and its Committees ought, he conceived,.to be founded on principles so obviously just. He was aware that he should imperfectly discharge the momentous duty he had undertaken in bringing for ward this motion. He ihould, therefore, practically limit the question he proposed to confider, by a re ference to the proceedings which he found the House bad hitherto taken on similar occasions, leaving it to 'deal with his motion as should seem most expedient, after a comparison of the advafttages and disadvantages of the existing system ; for he was ready to confess, 'that since he first gave notice of the proposition now under debate,lts adoption had appeared to him at tended by many more 'difficulties than before—(Hear, hearl.—Members were' certainly bound not only to act with what they considered a sound •discretion as re garded the welfare of the country at large, but , they were bound to attend to the wishes of their constituents who sent them there. It was on that ground scarcely possible to compote the proceedings of this House with the proceedings of inferior Courts.— But although such a dissimilarity existed, he thought some improvement in the actual practice of Parliament might be made. He should now trouble the House with an allusion to sone of those precedents on the sub- I ject, which he collected from its Journals. He found • none earlier than the year 1604. On.the 12th of June, in that year, a Mr. Seymour, a Member of the House, had his vote challenged on account of his being inte rested in a Bill then in ironsitu, and his vote was set aside. He (Mr. Hume) did not know in what way Mr. Seymour was interested, whether for or against the :question; but in recording the fact it was stated that the rejection of his vote " was agreeable to the former orders and precedents of the House.'' The circumstance was mentioned in the lirst volume of the journals, when it added, that Mr. Seymour and others were rei. quested to go forth, and that they went forth accord- ingly. Anotherase Which appeared to him in point, occurred on the 4th of February, 1644, *hen - Sir William Bastow, a Member, having presented a Petition accompanied by a Bill to which it re ferred, his vote, as interested in the measure, was challenged, • and he consequently withdrew. in the division upon t h at Bill t h e num b ers were 80 and 81, so that the exclusion of Sir W. Bastow's vote was of the utmost moment. There was to other case which be could discover till 1797. In that year a ednsiderable depression, took place in the price of the scrip of the Royalty Loan, and Mr. Pitt proposed to grant a bonus of 5 per cent. to such of the original subscribers as had not parted with their shares of the loan. As several Members, however, were in that situation, and were thus directly interested in the proposition, their votes were challenged and reference made to the Chair to de termine its validity. The words. Sir, said Mr. Hutne, of your predecessor were-.." I have always considered it the rule and practice of this Muse, that a Member should not vote upon any question in which he has an immediate pecuniary interest—an immediate interest which might confer either a pecuniarybenefit,or diminish a pecuniary loss." Mr. Manning, who was a subseriber to the loan, then withdrew, and two other Members, who were also subscribers, remained, but on their votes being challenged, they said they.should not accept any l bonus, and their votes were allowed, though not with out objections. Mr. Ryder, a Member of the House, said on the occasion, if the principle advanced by the Chair were carried to its full .extent, no Honour able Member could vote on a queition of taxes, •in which his own pecuniary interest was involved, and reference was again he conceiv' tween which munit niary 1. relative did precedent 1811.

Some short time afterwards, on a Bill tive to the Grand Junction Canal, a Member not vote, on the foregoing principle. The next tedent was that of the Bank Note Bill, in July, 1. The Honourable Member fix& Appleby, then for tford, objected to the votes of the Bank Proprietors, whom forty-five were Members of the House, on the and of their, being interested. Upon which Mr. nning, who was then Chairman, rose and obser.ved, Ve may or may not be interested in the Bill. It is brought in at our instigation, but is solely a mea- eof the Government forrthe benefit of the country." d the Speaker, on being referred to, stated. " that • k the Statutes of the House for the last two hundred rs it appeared persons were disqualified from voting questions in which they had a pecuniary interest, it s not on questibns in which they were affected in amen with the rest of the community." The ques- t was then put, and the challenges negatived with. a division. He should now mention one or two es, which he conceived to be explanatory of the law Parliament upon the present subject. In 1623, art t was passed for reversing and makirg void a Decree Chancery against the Masters and FelloWs of Mag. en College, Cambridge. In its progress, it was ved that Sir William Heald, then a Member and ester of Magdalen College, should not vote, and it s decided that after .he was heard he shibultt with- tw, which clearly shewed that although an individual gill speak, he could not vote on a question in which was directly interested. Another case was that of a 1 introduced for the improvement of Free Trade. Oa second reading,April 28,1621 An objection was made ainst, all the Members of Corporations holding seats the House, and having, as Members of Corporations ssessed of monopolies, separate and distinct interests posed to free trade. The decision of the House was, .ty should proceed to vote, but that every Member !sent should before doing so speak, and make his otestation he was not interested as a Member of the Impany against the Bill. All he (Mr. Hume) wished wever, was, that Members should consult the honour I dignity of the House by giving upon all questions a fair and partial vote. With that observation he should beg leave before set down to state, that beat first endeavoured to frame his re- 4 utions as nearly as possible in the words of the Speaker of the use, at the period of the Royalty Loan, namely, that no Mem- : should vote where he had an interest which might confer a :uniary benefit, or diminish a pecuniary loss. But be mu- sed he found dificUlties in that course not to be surmounted, I he should therefore move— That no Member shall vote for or against any question in itch he has a direct petuniary interest." Mr. LITTLETON was as anxious as the Honourable entleman who had just sat down, to render the pro- edings of that House in all respects perfectly above spicion; and, two years ago, he had introduced a easure in some degree relating to the subject now der consideration. - He found, however, the difficul- m he had to contend with so great, that he abandoned afterwards. In the House itself he must say that he ought everything unobjectionable ; for if there were 'embers interested on either side, their power to do • ischief wait lost in the mass of those who were sc- aled by no personal motives. Up stairs it certainly, as often otherwise ;. for there the Committees might rntain few but those immediately concerned. It was reniedi the latter evil that he had introduced the - ill to which he bad already alluded.
