ENGLISH AND BRISTOL CHANNELS SHIP CANAL THE COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT beg t notify, that they have obtained the opinion of his Majesty's Attorney-General, of Mr. Serjeant Wilde, and of Mr. Colorer, dis tinctly stating—" That after the Original Subscribers shall have 'Transferred their Shares, pursuant to the Act, they will not be liable for any part of the sums subscribed by them, for which calls may be nude subsequently to the time when the Shares shall be so re gularly transferred." A similar opinion bad been previously pro cured from two other Learned Counsel, declaring the non-liability of Subscribers, after the transfer of their Shares ; and this concur. rent testimony will, it is presumed, be considered by the Sub scribers, and by thy Public, as an effectual contradiction to the adverse statements which hate erroneously been put forth.

These S ettlements occupy a con siderable portion of the finest part of the Peninsula. They are enclosed the two great branches of the Rio de la l'lata, viz. the Uruguay and the Parana, which effectually protect the Province from the predatory incursions of the Indians. Vessels of one hundred and fifty tons burthen, navigate both these Rivers to the shores of the Settienients. The country is undulating and diversi fied with wood ; the soil is a rich black mould, of which the Asso ciation possess upwards of a million of acres ready to receive the plough without any preparation. The climate is similar to that of the South of France. Both coil and climate are favourable for the growth of Wheat and other Grain, but the natives are averse to agricultural labour, and procure their supplies of flour principally from distant count ries. A certain number of young farming men, of good character, if healthy and strong, with their wives, if married, and not eiceeding one child with each couple (unless at their own cost), will be con veyed to the Settlements and the expenses of their voyage will be advanced by the Association. Each Family will be put in possession of an Enclosed Farm of Fifty Acres, and they will be supplied from the stores of the Asso ciation with good and sufficient food and clothing, and with neces sary building materials, and agricultural stock. These advances will be continued for three years, should the settlers be unable to provide for themselves out of their own resources for so long a period. ' The Produce of the Farms may be sold by the individuals them selves, or by the Agents of the Associatitni, whose duty it is to convey such produce to the best markets, and to account faithfully for the proceeds. This engagement the Association guarantees. The Settlers will be conveyed in skips fitted up expressly for the conveyance of passengers.. The expense of the voyage and provi sions varies, but averages about £lll for each adult. Children under fourteen Teats of age, are charged one half ; and under seven, one ' third the price of adults. The voyage out is generally performed with a fair wind in two months. Families who are taken out and established at the expense of the Auceiation, will hold their lands on lease, each family fur so long as the man, his wife and children, and the survivor of them, shall lives Families *lid pay for their passage dut and establish themselves free of expense to the Association, will have the land conveyed to theta and their representatives for mes in the manner of freehold. in either use, Weever, they will be subject to a reserved rent, varying from 6d. to Bs. per acre, according to the situation. The land is free from tythesand taxes. As thole returns arise, the Settlers will be required to repay the' above advances by easy instalments. and with A 5 per cent. Interest thereon, or the value of the advances and rent will be received from them in produce or labour. Tice Farms willhe sold as Fteeholds, free from rent, for fifteen tears purchase of the annual rent required on lease, provided the purchase be made before the letting ; but if, after a man have rented a farm be be desirous of buying it as freehold, he may do so within bevels years, at twenty years' purchase ache annual rent. Grazing Farms, varying in extent from one thousand to twenty thousand acres, properly enclosed and watered, will also be let to persons who pay their passage out, and shew that they have the means to stoat such farms. Sharebolders in the Capital of the Association may receive pos- ONSiOn stn three hundred acres of land, and fifty head of cattle, and fifty rffit, an the credit of each share paid up , and ma y hold such land en lease at an annual rent, until a general division of the land take place. Artificers of every kind may establish themselves advantageously no these Settlements; but at first, those in the line of building, farming, and preparing and working leather, will be most useful. Other tradesmen must be cautious not to go nut prematurely. Gentlemen of small income may find an acceptable abode is these Settlements. The cheapness of provisions; and of horses and their keep, the profusion and variety of game and fish ; the cheer fulness of the scenery, and the salubrity of the climate, offer mate rials which they may avail themselves of with advantage, and upon whicb, aided by a library and other institutions intended to be esta blished, they may form an agreeable society. Otters, Surveyors, and Workmen, are gone out to make prepa rations for those who are to follow ; bat it is not intended to send any other Settlers out to the above destination, until August or Sep tember next.

Those Petitions having been laid on the table, The Karl of LA UDERDA LE present e d a Petition from the Sugar-bakers of the City of London, against the Equitable 1,0111 Bill. In doing this be wished to remind the floii.e of the exact situation in which the Bill now stood. ft hail been read a first rime, and before the second reading should take place he bad been ansjouelo &swore all the information leassible on the anNect. The Papers moved for had been ordered to be printed, :nisi he trusted that their Lordships would ore the impropriety of proceeding until they were before the Hotlie. The Petitioners against the MU said they could prove at the Oar the illegality of the Company which it was sought to establish,.and he was sure that 'ninth of their Lord ships would wish to set up an illegal Company, which stood exac tly on the same footing as the Catholic Associ ttion, which they had joined in putting down 031 the ground of illegality. As t e decision on the matter was highly interesting and Important to the whole country, he should move for the attendance of the Judges to put quotions to the witnesses examined at the Bar, and he trusted that .the House would appoint a time for the question of law to be ar gued. Ile stated this. in order that their Lordships should know what couree he intended to pursue, and that no individual should be taken by surprise. Lord DACRE was also unwilling to take the House or the Noble RSA by surpiise, and therefore would abstain from moving the second reading of the Bill till all the papers to be produced on the subject were printed and on their Lordships table.—The Fed lion was then laid on the table. TheLORD CHANCELLOR presented a Petition from the Protestant Dimmers of the Baptist persuasion, belonging to East street Chapel, Walworth , against further concessions to the Catho lics, even if their remaining subjected to the same restrictions under which they (the Petitioners) laboured, were the consequence.— Laid on the table. The Earl or DONOUG II MODE presented a Petition in favour of the Catholic Claims from the Protestant Dissenters of Carrick- on-Suit.—Laid on the table. Lord HOLLAND also presented a Petition from certain Pro testant Dissenters, in favour of the Catholic Claims. .He was sur prised that any Protestant Dissenter should have expressed senti ments hostile to those Claim!, especially as there was now suspended over them a cruel law known by the name of the test Act. It was true that A the time of the great struggle against Popery, the Pro testant Diatenters had manfully contributed to the passing of that Act, but it was with an expressed hope that a day would come wheni the members of the Church would aid them in being freed from its disabilities. But from the moment of its passing is the present time no change bad been effected in their favour. The con duct of algae who petitioned for its continuance might be consistent with that of their ancestors, but it was not less in opposition to what they now bad a right to wish and to claim.—The Petition baring been laid on the table, Earl ROMNEY presented a Petition from the Clergy of Maid. atone, against the Unitarian Marriage Bill, and one from the Mayor, Common Councilmen, and Sheriffs, of Kingstown, in Maidstone, against the Catholics.—Laid on the table. Lord KENYON presented a similar Petition from a Parish in Merionethshire.--Laid on the table. _ Viscount SIELVILLE presentt/ a Petition from the Magis trates and Freeholders of the comity of Edinburgh, against any alteration in the Corn Laws.—Laid on the table. The Earl of ROSEBERRY presented a similar Petition from the Landholders of the county of Ross, signed, amongst others, by the Lord Lieutenant, and the Members and the Sheriffs of the county. He thought that it was impossible to continue the present system of Corn Laws, it would have been wiser, at the commence ment of the present esslon, to institute the inquiry necessary to lead to a settlement of this great question. He was•glad to hear that Parliament were likely to be called upon to pass a measure to relieve the Corn bonded in this country, Ile conceived that such a measure would be most timely and b4neficial, by preventing the general opining of the ports, and he trusted that it would not be opposed by any one connected with the landed interest. - ------- ------___ • LONDON PETITIOV• The Mat quis of LANSDOWN, in pursuance to his notice, had to present a Petition of great import ance, which called for particular attention, on account of the respectability of the body from which it came. As, in consequence of the question put:yesterday by his Noble Friend (Lord Lauderdale), the House was in possession of the feelings and views of the Noble Eirl opposite, and of almost every one of their Lordships, it would be unnecessary for him to trespass at any length upon their time. It was his duty hover vet to the Petitioners to state, that their Petition appeared to repress:in the sense of the commercial part of the City of London. It was subscribed by six thousand names, amongst which would be found, if not all, at least the principal Merchants and Bankers of the Metropolis.— It was particularly gratifying to find that this Petition was by no means an unqualified Petition in favour of an absolute free trade, but that it called for an alter ation in the present system of the Corn Laws, on the principle of giving protection to the Corn Trade, as far as it wanted protection. On this principle there was' and there Could be no difference of opinion amongst those who had witnessed the evils of a sudden revul sion. He agreed with the Noble Earl opposite, that it would be impossible to enter into the requisite in vestigation during the course of the present Session; but the interest of the landed proprietors themselvis demanded that it should not be long delayed.— An unpropitioUs season would be sufficient to make the price run Up in less than a year to 85s. or 90s. and then corn would be admitted at once from all parts of the world, without any ditty at all. The leffect of this sudden inundation might be ta drive ,down the price of English cora to 40s. or 30i. per quarter, which would produce a most violent revulsion. He d.d not expect this, because he did not expect that the ports would be open, in consequence II the wise measures wli;ch his Majesty's G3veinmeia were ado's , . ing lor allowing the admission of corn tr.an Canada, and the release of that which was bond. d in this country. These measures would preiNnt the pi ice of corn from teaching the point at which unlimited im portasion must t 'lc! place. But still ti'e possibility of a revulsion existed, and it was ecpiarly the interest of landed proprietors and of merchants to provide against it. This he thought must uliiinately be done by a fixed duty, the great adva , a rge of w hich would be its permanency ; for he did not think it would require to to altered as the Mlle Earl opposite se toed to appre hend. For even N ar itself, by the additional ti eight, and diffi.ulties of introduction a hid) it would occasion, - - fecred the Exchange of this country, must have been ocemidtted by the d,intand for our manufactures from abroad. If this were the case, however, there would have been wo variation in the exchange. But the great demand for raw materials arose chiefly from the itss mensity of our home consumption 4 of our own manufacenree. Ic became the manufacturers therefore, to beware how they injured the boded proprietors .and deprived them of the mans of non doubt: that consun:otion front-which all interests derived benefit. The : MAtquis of LANSDOWN said that the de pftssion which had been expetieoced during the last twelve or fourteen months had been in a great measure occasioned by the speculations of individuals, who, calculating on a probable rise in the price of coffle and other articles, had collected them on ' the Continent and paid for them, in money. lie trusted that the manufacturers would never forget that it was the increase of the home demand which had drawn them from their situation of deep distress, and that it was the home demand alone, whielt ' while all others must be affected, if not _destroyed by war, would afford them a constant and unchangeable vent for the oroduce of their inJustsy. The Eall of LIVERPOOL believed that the t ause of the alterations was to be attributed to speculations in foreign produce. There had been great speculations in corn upon the Con tinent, but those things must take their course. With respect to the Canadian corn, he thought little was to be apprehended; for the corn imported from America in the shape of flour. was always trifling, uwing to.tbe immense expense of freight. The great sup ply was always got from the Baltic. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that in a country so highly taxed as England, anything like unrestrictive importation would be ruinous to the farmer. Ldrd KING asserted, that a change must take place, because Corn was to) dear; and therefore any delay in altering the laws was an injustice to the consumer. If they wished to give such a protecling duty to the gto*er as would com pensate him for taxation, the question would be then narrowed, and they might come to its consideration without delay, and affix a duty of 12s. which would fix Corn at about the rate of Ms. He thought it ought to be entirely a meanie of the GoVernmem • and he believed they would settle it more advantageously tha n in a Parliamentary Committee. After a few words from Lords Cassini: and DACak, the Peti tion was kid on the table. The Duke of ATIIOL presiented a Petition from rifeshire, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Lord BROW N LOW presented a Petition kern Lincoln, agatnot any alteration in the Corn Laws.--Adiwarned. MOUSE OF COMMONS. _ _ The Montgomery Poor Bill was read a second time. Mr. M.

Mr. ASTELL wished to know what Was to beinne with this Bill, wbrther it was to be further proceeded in thin Session ? it was read a second time March 11, and no notice of any further step had .since been given. Sir I'. LETHBRIDGE said that be believed it would go to a Committee on the sth or 6th of May; by that period the parties he expected, would be prepared to try the merits of the BiU. Mr. ASTELL understood that the 6th of May was fixed for the Committee. Sir T: LETHBRIDGE could not pledge hinted, to that day.— It depended a good deal en Mr. Telford, and all knew how that Gentleman's time was occupied.—Ordered to lie on the table. . Sir T. LETHBRIDGE then presented a Petition, numerously signed, in favour of such Bill, from Bridgewater, and a similar Peti tion from some parish in Somersetshire.

Mr. HUSKISSON presented Petitions from Dundee, praying to be allowed to bond corn ; from Liverpool against any alteratioo of the laws regarding the butter trade; and from Merchants of Liverpool, and Dealers in Flour, for he protection of that trade. Dlr.
