. ^~' S {~~. .•. wee 688,0001. fora granite terrace the whole length of i ' the River, and persons were ready to contract for the. work at that.sum..He had thought that if a plain un adorned teri*e could be made for 408,0001. the House' could not scruple to make the sum up to what would produce an highly ornamental one. He had at first been Inclined to stop at Waterloo-bridge, but found it necessary to go on to make the work advantageous. If any injury would be done, compensation would be made to the peasant as well as the Duke. He hoped he would be allowed to bring in the Bill. He had hoped that Petitions would have been presented in favour of and not against the Bill. Mr. CROKER said, that the measure took the ap pearance alternately of a public and a private Bill ; a proceeding altogether anomalous. When the Hon. Gentleman appealed to the candour of the House, the proprietors on the banks .had at least an equal claim. A friend of his had a small property (4001. a year) and since the present plan had been talked of, he had re ceived notice from his tenants to quit. The banks of the River were in their present state from the nature of commerce. Great doubts were felt as to the consequences of the removal of London Bridge, where at low water the depth was five feet, nearly the depth opposite to Somerset-house. Great changes must take place in the bed of the river, and be would put it to the House, if they would venture to make any change, till the effect of the removal of the bridge should be known? He was not ultimately opposing the Bill, but wished the House to pause for the present. Sir J. YORKE knew not how his Hon. Friend would cross Waterloo-bridge, or get to Somerset-house. The plan would not be palatable even to the foot-passengers. • Mr. A. ELLIS thought the Hon: Member had not been fairly dealt with, as there was no objection to tile principle of the Bill. Lord PALMERSTON said, the question was, if the general proposition should be entertained, while Abe objections were made to details not then, before the House? The Chair had decided that the Bill could only be introduced as a private one. — The plan appeared to him alike conducive to orna ment and utility. He could not see how the removal of Lon don Bridge could be any objection to the Quay. There was at pre sent no proper communication between the two ends of the town, which, in some places, was attended with actual danger. Ile trusted tbe measure would, at least, have due consideration. Sir R. WILSON should support the measure, but could give no pledge as to the details. Should the measure prove Injurious to private property; he should oppose it. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought that the time had not yet arrived when a scheme of. such extent as that con templated .by the Bill, could be advantageously at tempted. Considering the importance of the proposed measure, as regarded the navigation, he thought it much better to postpone the consideration of the Pro jected plan, until the removal of London bridge should be executed. Really, the state of the river was of very great importance. He (Mr. Peel) had seen a man standing under the fifth arch of Waterloo bridge upon dry ground. It seemed to him that the water had a tendency to recede on the Southwark side. Gentlemen said, that strangers always asked where was our river? but they might indeed ask this question, when an enor mous quay of thirty feet high was built, blocking up the view. As to the facility of communication, considering the exposure of the new quay to the sharp south wind, and that there shall be two turnpikes on the line, he (Mr. Peel) doubted very much whether any individual would take advantage of the new com munication. Ile wished the Honourable and gallant Gentleman would take up some other project, useful or ornamental, for four or five years, and then he might conic down and ask for a discus sion upon the project now before the House. Mr. BARING thought the plan was one of absolute necessity for the common conveniences of life. The plan would be highly advantageous in the way of establishing markets, and the increased rapidity of the current would scour away the mud, and add to the health of the inhabitants units banks. The House divided on the question. In favour of bringing in the Bill 85 Against it . 45--40 Majority. MISCELLANEOUS. . The Imperial 'Mining Company (Ireland) Dill Wits•bcoughtin Mr. il.

Mr. V. FITZGERALD presented a Petition from the Magis trates of Clare, iu favour of Provincial Banks in Ireland. Mr. S. RICE obtained leave to bring in a Bill fcr the establish ment of Provincial Banks in Ireland. Mr. DAWSON presented a Petition from the Noblemen and Gentlemen of Ireland, in favour of the same Bill ; also a Petition from the Merchants of Ireland, for repealing all restrictions on Commerce between every part of the United kingdom. Mr. MACKENZIE: presented a Petition from Ross. in favour of the Small Debts Act; also a Petition in favour of the Scotch Judi cature Bill. Mr. H. DAVIS presented a Petition from the Parish of All Saints, in Bristol, against the Assessed Taxes. UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE PETITION. Lord PALMERSTON presented a Petition from the University of Cambridge, against any feather conces sions to the Roman Catholics. The Petitioners felt themselves strengthened in their anxiety on the subject by the language lately employed by the Catholics, both here and in other parts of Europe, in which, among other things, they conceived was to be discovered a general distaste for civil liberty. Mr. BANKES, junior, lately warned the House against believing that any change had taken place in public opinion on the subject of the Catholic Claims and from all he had since learnt, he must protest against such a notion being well-founded. He should also take the present opportunity to express his regret at the manner in which, both in that House and elsewhere, the Petitions of the Established Clergy, in opposition to the Catholics, had been treated during this Session. All other classes in the State had some of the body to re present them in the Commons but the Clergy, and he was therefore particularly grieved to see these Petitions received with sneers and scoffs from the opposite Benches. Mr. HUME denied the charge preferred by the Ho nourable Member against his (Mr. Hume's) side of the House. He and his friends certainly regretted that the one class, which ought to be the most liberal, enlight ened, and charitable, should still persist in prejudices which all others had cast off. He regretted to see the Clergy a century behind the rest of the community ; but he denied that he had said anything disrespectful of theist on the occasions alluded to. Mr. DICKENSON said, that the Petition to which allusion had just been made was one of the most exem plary kind. It was conceived in the most respectful language, and upon all accounts was entitled to respect and consideration. Yet it had been received in a man ner which would have better suited a bear-garden than an assembly like the Howe of Commons. Sir ELIAB HARVEY observed upon . the sneer and ridicule which generally marked the reception of any Petition on this subject from the Established Church. He sincerely believed the Members of that Church felt **, Lord's Bill had originally contained a clause to the effect of these hi The new Bill, the Noble Lord would have heard of de apparel= an his part. At the same time it was his firm-be lief that if The original MU passed, more gamekeepers would be kept, and the result would be a venter loss of lives than before. Lord ELLENBOROUGH objected •to the clumsy mode of legbiation proposed, math an accumulation of fffius upon the saineeubject. The• Earl of LAUDERDALE recommended that the whole should be merged into one consistent Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR also advised that the enactments which it should be thought fit to pass should be consolidated into one Bill. The Noble and Learned Earl stated that Acts had been passed years ”go which made the robbing of orchards fur the third time in day-time transportation, but they were not acted upon. He thought that some clause might be introduced into the Bill to attain the desired object, and that a small bit of paper might contain it. Lord HQLLAND recommended that the two Bills on the table skould be allowed to proceed ; and if in the Committee, it should be thought fit to embody them with the original measure, that might be done in a very few words. Lord SUFFIELD said that the clumsiness of legisla tion complained of had been forced upon him ; for his original Bin was simple, clear, and satisfactory. He should haveno objection to introduce such words or clauses in the Committee as would consolidate the three Bills into one measure, and should most Thankfully accept any suggestion from the Noble and Learned Earl on the Woolsack.--The Bill was then read a first time. SPRING GUNS. The Order of the Day having been read, the House resolved Itself into a Committee on the Spring Guns Abolition Bill. The Earl of LIVERPOOL proposed an amendment, • tending to extend the operation of the Bill to walled gardens and to all places whatever, and to abolish the use of man traps as well as that of spring guns. Lord ELLEMBOROCGII and the Marquis of Lax:tows objected to so unlimited an operation being given to the Bill. After some conversation the Committee divided— Contents Not Contents 2$ 3 • Majority in favour of the Amendment 2 Strangers were not re-admitted, but during their absence several unimportant ♦erbal amendmems were made, diet which the House resumed, and the Bill was ordered to be reported with amendments. —Adjourned at Half-past Seven o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. IrtSH COMPANIES. Sir E. KNATCH BULL presented a Petition from Ramsgatt, apinst.the Metropolitan Fish Company Hill. A similar Petition was presented from Greenwich. Mr. CALCRAFT explained, that when he before ad- verted to this subject, he read to the House a passage . from a prospectus which had since been disclaimed by the parties. The fact was that there were three Fish Com panies now in agitation, and he had made a mi,take in getting at the real Simon rime. His objection, however, applied to all such Companies, and be should be able to spew their absur dity in the Committee. Sir J. YORKE objected to see a body of overbearing monieJ men come forward to the injury of that useful class, who were engaged in a vet y honourable and a very ancient employment, as the Apostles themselves would tee tify—(A laugh.) Sir E. HARVEY, in presenting another Petition of the same nature, said, that there was not a finer or a more praise worthy body of men in existence than the fishermen who would be injured by this Dill, and he should therefore oppose it. Sir E. KNATCHRULL also expressed his intention to oppose the Bill. Mr. CURTEIS said, that the object of the Company was not to catch fish, but to buy it of the Fishermen for the purpose of better supplying the mat ket. Mr. BERNAL said, that if the Company were to purchase the fish of the fishermen, and it was to be caught in the present manner, be Should like to know how the public were to have it cheaper? Mr. T. WILSON said, that there could not be a more honourable body of men that the Directors the pro posed Company, and he was convinced that their object was rather to serve the public than to obtain profit for themselves. He was some years ago applied to by a respectable fishmonger to present a petition to the House, with a view of exposing the nefarious pratqces of the trade. It was notoriously true, that wliep an • unusually large supply of fish came into the market, it was bought up and kept back to the nest day; and that, ra . Ott- than let it come cheap to the public, it was the custo m to throw it into the river. The object of this Company was to let the public have the advantage of all the supply which came, into the market. He understood, tbat there were 'many respectable Fishmongers ready to give evidence before the Committee that in , their opinion the Bill would be advantageous to the tra de. Mr. Alderman Wows spoke against the Bill, and Mr. J. Swill' supported it.—The Petitions were ordered to lie on the table. Sir IL FERGUSON presented a Petition from Dundee, avainst the Leith Docks Bill. Sir A. CD [CHESTER presented a Petition from the Mother of Commerce in Belfast, in favour of the Manchester and Stockton Rail Read Bill. THAMES QUAY AND TERRACE. . Colonel TRENCH moved the bringing up the Report of the Thames Quay and Terrace Committee. The report stated that the Standing Orders bad been complied with, and upon the motion for leave to bring. in the Bill, Mr. CALCKAFT said, he was sorry to oppose what would certainly be a splendid improvement and ornament to the Banks of the Thames ; but he felt bound to do so on account of the injury which this measure would cause to the property of private indivk . . duals. The Honourable Member contended that the Standing Orders had not been complied with, notwith standirg the Report of the Committee, and upcn that ground the Bill could not pass this Session. It was stated in some of the prospectuses, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was to advance 200,0001. in support of the project; but from the known prodence of that Right Honourable Gentleman he was convinced that so large a sum of the public money would be applied to no such visionary purpose. It was, in fact, a splendid impossibility, and monstrous to suppose that it could be carried into effect at anything like the expense estimated in the prospectus. They would not only have to incur the expense of building the Quay, but they must compensate individuals tor the injury of their property, their loss of business—and in short, to buy them out altogether; so that the sum required would be grime or four millions, instead of three or four hundred thousand pounds. The Duke of Northumberland and Lord Liverpool bad made a successful resistance to the project, so that it was not to be carried to their premises. He did not see why the Duke of Norfolk and other parties were not also to be relieved from it, and if the House seemed disposed to go along with him, he would divide upon this stage of the proceeding. Mr. HOBHOUSE made similar objections to the uwasure, end **toted his conviction that it was quite Impossible to carry It into effect. Colonel TRENCH thought the plan not only of paramount importance but of absolute necessity. The Committee had been advised by the best legal autho rities, not to give notice to the petitioners, as the plan only referred to the improvement of the navigation of the River, and the best judges were of opinion, that the navigation would be materially improved. The incon venience and loss would be temporary, while the ad vantage Would be permanent. The variations in the plan had arisen from the suggestions of proprietors on the banks of the River. The banks of the Thames were ' a disgrace to the City and the country at large. The plan was perfectly practicable, and.the Strand was no longer competent to perform its functions. The estimate more for the 'apititualities than the tempainlities of it He (Sir E. Harvey) s t onsiderod that any ‘ OasatOen to ilia Catholics would only be a step to another, and tbailit con cession was nude upon the ruins of the listablished Cburck. Mr.S. RICE thought that this Petition was entitled to every respect, but it could not be denied that several of the most enlightened and respectable Members of the University were adverse to the prayer of it. He should be sorry to see the doors of that House shut against the Petitions of the Clergy of the Established Church ; but it was more a Popish than a Protestant doctrine, to say that the Clergy were the guardians of the religious sentiments of the community. The Petition was then read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. \VILMOT-HOILTON postponed his motion, which stood upon the paper, for le.tve to bring in a Bill to amend and consolidate the laws relating to Slavery, to Tuesday neat. WASTE LANDS IN CANADA. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the incorporation and sale of waste lands in the Province of Upper Canada. He said that when the Bill was resented to the House in due form, they would be better in possession of the details of the measure than he could presume to put them in the pre sent stage. It would, he thought, be universally ad mitted, that nothing could be more desirable than to facilitate, by a roper application of capital, the co lonization of their waste lands in Canada; and for the particular purpose now - recommended, it *as intended that certain grants should be made to an incorporated Company upon a valuation of the particular lands re quired by them in the development (4 their local plani. The arrangements wet eto be cart ied into effect by two Commissioners appointed by the Crown, and two by the Company, with conjoint power to decide in such doubtful cases as came before them, tespecting the purchase of the lands; and the basis of the general va lue was to be taken from that recognised in the pur chase of the other adjacent waste lands. The Company were to agree to pay the Government 20,0001. a year, upon being put in possession of particular lands; and the amount so paid was, in the first instance, to be ap plied to the local expenditure of the colony, which had hitherto been deli ayed by the Ttea,ury at home.— These details would, however, be rendered more explicit when the Bill was printed. Mr. W. SNIITH did not rise to oppose the applica tion for leave to bring in the Bill, but merely to suggest that proper pains should he taken to prevent the Indian tribei, on the borders of the new incorporation, limn being prejudiced by the new settlers. Pains were taken in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for a similar purpose, and he hoped it would not be lost sight of here. WILNIOT-11011 f ON had the most perfect con-. &knee that no danger of the kind alluded to would be incurred on the present occasion. Mr. HUME said, the emigrants who arrived at Que bec in the years 1817, 1818, 1819, and 1820, amounted .tu39,000. Many of these were obliged to go to the United States to obtain that settlement by the possession of land which they had looked for in the Canadas. One of the Committees which had reported upon this subject, declared that not more than 100 of the 39,000 obtained any settlement on the Crown lands in Canada. The Colonial Department was of all departments that which for the last twelve years had given the greatest number of proofs of mismanagement. If he had a te formed House, he declared he would impeach Lord Bathurst fur his misconduct at she head of that depart ment. He spoke not of the Canadas, but of the Cape, and every part of our colonial possessions. Let the Hon. Gentleman opposite deny it if he could : .Why was Lord C. Somerset allowed to remain there? The conduct of Lord Bathurst in suffeiing tyranny at the Cape, and the transportation of British subjects from the Cape to Botany Bay, under circumstances of great ag gravation, made him feel ailiamed of hitntelf for having so long. sat silent upon that subj'e'ct. The Hon. Member went on to condemn the amount of the public fees taken in the Canadas. The House would scarcely believe, that the fee exacted upon the grant of 500 acres was 120/. and so on in proportion. This sum, although small, as coo. pared with the value of English acres, was a very grievOus penalty upon the unfortunate individuals who went out as settlers. With respect to this Bill, be was ready to admit, that capital was of great advantage to a Province like Canada, yet he should be sorry to see a monopoly of land given to the Company contemplated in the measure. This, he thought, would be only shifting the evil from one hand to another. Mr. BARING wished to know whether the object of this Bill was merely to give the Crown the power of selling these lands; or whether it went the length of regular ing the matter is detail as regarded the Company ? Mr. M. FITZGERALD wished to correct an expres sion made by the Honourable Member for Aberdeen, with re•pect to the emigrants to Canada. He was ac quainted with the condition of the Irish Settlers in Ca nada, and knew that it was a very happy one, and that they felt great gratitude to Government. Government bad appointed a must humane and able Agent, who conducted the affairs of the emigran , s in the most satisfactory manner. Mr GORDON defended the conduct of Lord Ba thurst. He thought the Hon. Member for Aberdeen blarnedble f..r the obtervatlons he had made upon that Noble Lord. As to the appointments made by the Noble Lord, he believed that in no Depa: talent of Go. vernment was so scrupulous an inquiry into character instituted in the appointment of individuals, as in the Colonial Department. As to the charge against the Noble Lord for not having recalled Lord Charles. So merset, that applied a, much to every Member of Ad ministration as to Lord Bathurst; and he did not think it at all fair to Lay the blame entirely upon him. Mr. BRIGHT gave his entire concurrence to the measure. It was one which bad long been wanted.— He knew not to what purpose the money to be raised was to be applied, but it could nut be better used than in promoting emigration to that part of our Colonial dominions. Mr. BARING said,that Canada could not long conti nue in the situation of a colony,connected as it was with the Continent by similar interests. And how far it might be for the interest and dignity of this country to do that spontaneously, which would otherwise be done eventually at a great 'edifice of blood and treasure, it behoved the Government to consider. If we pursued a different course, ten years would not pass over our heads, without its being suggested to us in a less agree able form. With respect to this Bill, he knew not how far it was to put the power of coloaization entirely out of the bands of Government, and give it to a Joint Stock Company. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON observed, that this Bill did not relate to colonisation, although that might be a collateral consequence of it. Mr. BARING said, that the sale of all waste lands of a country must affect in some degree the question of colonization ; and he contended, that to sell all the ad. vantages, commercial and . otherwise, of an improved state of a colony for a few hundred thousand pounds, was an act of folly. He thought it would be far better to place the whole disposal of the matter in the hands of the local authorities of Canada, and endeavour to convince them that it was meant for their benefit ; other wise they were at the mercy of any interested agent or speculator who might mislead them as is points of loc *, . . informatici. Their only remedy against this, was giving the wh44 power to the local Legislature. Mr. ROBERTSON expressed his concurrence in chi 'jrieews entertained upon 'this qpistidn, by are Honoerahie who had just at down.. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON replied.—ln Upliir Ca: nada there was an indefinite eiten Of lands, capable, under cultivation, of absorbing the largest populatiog contemplated by any Gentleman in the House. The object was to bring considerable portions of this land into immediate cultivation by the capital of a Company, under regulations dictated by this Government. As to the security proposed for bringing the lands into culti. vation within a certain time, the Hon. Gentleman who urged that must have a low opinion of Government to think such advice necessary. That was already, and had long been a condition of granting lands : this was no measure of monopoly. There were Ali ndar.t al• lotments of the lands in the possession of private in dividuals. Government was not to be charged with inducing emigration. The States of Canada were not in want of population. Labour could not command a price as in the United States; but capital was most materially necessary, and this measure would facilitate the transfer of it. He promised any information upon the details which might be required of him. He must revel t for a moment to the general charge made against the Colonial Department by an Hon. Gentleman oppo. site ; he could not separate the parties implicated—the charge was against the whole establishment. Why did not the HorrourableGentlernan make it more specifically against some one Member of Administration, as he was bound to do, rather than indulge in vague clamour and idle declamation? He claimed, on the contrary. for the Colonial Department and the Noble Lord at the head of it, a full proportion of that approbation with which the anxious lsbohrs of all departments in the Cover nment were rewarded, in their zeal to remove shackles and embarrassments laid upon the colonial and mercantile interests by the supposed wisdom of our ancestors. Ac any rare, be wished that thc Hon. Gentleman would give him, by a specific charge, a specific opportunity for justification. HUMEexplaitird. It was hard to charge him with being indefinite, who bad taken up so much time in each of the last five Sessions with complaints against the conduct of the Colonial tiover non. and the neglect of the Colonial Office..—Leave was given to bring in the ILIIL Mr. WILMOT-HORTON obtained leave to bring in a Bill similar to the foregoing, for the enclosure and cultivation of waste lands in Van Diemen's Land. Sir G. HILL moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the relief of Bankers is Ireland from the restrictions which they laboured under, from the oreration of the caking Acts of Parliament, and to enable them to sue and be sued in the name of their Secretary. Mr. DAWSON said, it was his intention to support the Bill, but he would do so without the slightest wish to curtail the privileges of the Bank of Ireland. The C 11 A NC ELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it highly desirable to give to Ireland the benefit of a good banking system. Alderman Wean, Mr. Arrwoon, Mr. S. Rica, and Mr. Tau; supported the measure; and the motion %rib agreed to. Sir H. PARNELL coved for a Return of Copies of all Nemorials to the Board of Trade, relative to the Utttilff-Trade in Ireland. 31r. C. GRANT thought that some alterations were necessary in that trade. Mr. HU ME hoped the Honourable Baronet would proceed with the Bill. Mr. S. RICE thought the Board of Trade was bound to redees the pledge they bad given. . Mt. DA WSON was in favour of an alteration in the present state of the trade. ' Mr..G ILA TTAN thought the Butter Tiade ought to be protected. Mr. T. WILSON was in favour of a Committee to enquire into the state of the trade. Mr. M. FITZGERALD bore testimony to the importance of the trade. ' • Sir H. PARNELL would not consent to appoint a Committee to inquire into tite.piopliety of appointing a Taster of Butter. He had brought the subject before . the the responsibility lay'nith the Goseru ment.—The motion was then agreed:to. The Irish Impounding Bill was read a second time. The second reading of the Dissenters' Marriage Bill was fixed for Friday. The Bill for the Recovery of Small Debts in Scotland, was or dered _ to be read a second time on Friday. The Caledonian Canal Bill, and the Jury Consolidation Bill, were ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. ASSESSED Taxes. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex pressed his intention of introducing clauses exempting those who had in their possession one dog, nct a grey hound, spaniel, or pointer; for granting remuneration to the Clerks of the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes; and for giving an exemption to pot•boys under th e age of 15. Mr. HUME wished to know how sheep dogs in Scotland were to be affected by this clause, as he had several letters upon the subject? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, in reply, that he could not speak positively, but he un derstood that sheep dogs in certain farms were to be exempted.—The clause was then agreed to. The clause relative to the exemption of interior lights in boon was also agreed to. Upon the Clause being brought up for Remunera tion to the Clerks of Commissioners of Assessed Taxes, Mr. HUME said, it was only within a few days that he had received a letter from the Mayor of Yarmouth, stating, that there were no less than 700 surcharges in this branch, which were a source of great vexation. The money paid by the public in this way. was net so great a grievance as the mode in which it was demanded. Such things should be put an end to. The Clause exempting pot-boys under the age of fifteen, war also agreed to. Mr. Alderman WOOD.--Then after fifteen he is liabk ? Sir F. OMMANEY.—If the duty be paid, he need am be discharged. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHRQUER.—The duty is the same as all servants so situated. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Upon the motion for the second reading of the Wine Duties Bill, Mr. HUME said that the dealers in Cape Wine would be greatly prejudiced if the duty were not pro portionally remitted to them. He hoped some delay 'mold he allowed donut state their case. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, the object of the Honourable Member would be defeated rather than gained by any objection to the second reading this Bill, He had no objection to some delay, but he contended that any permanent difference of the Duty on Cape Wine was never held out to the dealers in Cape Wine. It was a matter for consideration, and in the Committee it would be attended to. Mr. Alderman WOOD wished to know how the inn. keepers were to be situated ? They reduced their wine 121. per dozen, and they expected a reduction on their stock in land. Mr. HERRIES could not now precisely state the amount of stock which would be allowed ; it would certainly, however, be considerably below a ton, which was the amount taxed when the increased taxation was laid on. Tb. was then ordered to be committed on Friday next. ' Mr. WYNN gave notke, that be world this day move for leave to bring in a Bill, relative to the salaries of Judges in India. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the Hoke adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock. r .13 .. 1 14 a 1 ' U ..~._
