The LORD CHANCELLOR did not mean to oppose the re ceiving of the Petition; neither would he venture an opinion as to the contagions or non.cootagious nature of the plague. All he could say en the subject was. that if the plague had been introduced into that Home, Is could have no diffscuky In telling their Lordships ha nease—(A lash). The Petition was ordered to he on the table. On the Motion et the Bari of Ltraaroot., the Duke of Cumber land's Annuity Bill went through a Committee, and was reported without amendments. The Marquis of HASTINGS gave notice, that he should, to. morrow. introduce a Bill to explain and alter he 35th Chapter of the 13th of George 111. which set limits to the rate of interest at which money was to be lent in India. Lord BEXLEY presented a Petition from the Corporation of the City of London, praying to be heard by Counsel at the Bar, against certain parts of the Equitable Loan Bill. The Duke of ATHOL opposed the prayer of the Petition, as tho House had already decided that the interests of the City of London were not sufficiently affected by the Dill to justify the hearing of Counsel st the air on its part. The Earl of LAUDERDALE supported the object of the Pe tition, which was laid on the table. _ _ The Marquis of LANSDOW N. presented a Petition from the Chamber of Commerce of the City of Dublin, praying for some alteration in the Law of Merchant and Factor.—Laid on the table.

Mr. CURTETS presented a Petition front the Magistrates of I the Brighton Divisiontof Buses , vonsplaining that a Podia* bad been presented to the House purporting to' be the Petition'of the Magistrates of Brighton; against the' Brighton Improvement BTU, whereby the Mil was Mired. They stated that. do Magistrate bad signed the Petition. which hark only the names uT twthre ob score and ignorant individuals attached to it, and tbeytpitiyed.that the eessrivers of the Petition might be punished.--i- , Ordered to be printe 1. Mr. CURTETS gave notice that he should move, next Session, the re.futreduction of the Bill. He regretted that the advanced state of the Session prevented any reps being taken to punish the persons guilty of such an offence against the House. The Hole went into a Committee on the Peters' Divorce BM, Counsel were heard, and witnesses examined. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. , Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from an in dividual of the name of Bishop Burnett, complaining of the 'Conduct of the Colonial Government at the Cape of Good Hope, and praying that the House would in stitute an enquiry. The Learned Gentleman went at I some length into the details of the Petition. It was alleged that Mr. Burnett was induced, by the represen tations of Government, to go out to Albany Settlement, and to expend a large sum of money, nearly twenty thousand rix-dollars in expenses and improvements. In the course of some contracts with the Colonial Com missariat, he had been accused of some defalcation by the CoMmissariat, and in other respects treated with great harshness and injustice. These sufferings and in juries he made known to Lord Charles Somerset, in a memorial. The Honourable and Learnt Gentleman stated, that the conduct of. Lord Somerset merited im peachment, if the allegations of the Petition Were true. The Petitioner sent in his Memorial to the Governor, and instead of ordering it to be inquired' into, Lord Charles Somerset put at into the hands of the Fiscal to be prosecuted, and the unfortunate Petitioner was ba nished from the Colony fur five years. During the pending prosecution against him, certain nefarious libels had bees circulated against Lord Somerset, accusing the Noble Lord of certain abominable offences. Now the Noble Lorlwas as incapable of such offences as Mr. Burnett was of accusing him of them. It afterwards appeared that t h e author of these libels was a Mr. Oliver, who now called himself Jones, and was in high favour at the Cape. The imputation of those libels hid been made the cause of other vexatious pro ceedings against Mr. Burnett. His house was broken open, and his papers violently taken away. For all these proceedings, he asked some reparation, or at least for some inquiry. He complained of the conduct of the Commissariat, of the proceedings in the Cow is of Law, and above all, of Lord Charles Soto: net. It appeared from the allegations of the Petitioner, that the Noble Lord was in. the habit of receiving money at one rate of exchange, and paying at another, and pro fiting by the difference. The Noble Lord was charged .with improper conduct, in having sold a horse for 10,000 dollars to a Dutchman named Duer, who had a cause pending before the Courts. The horse died, and in order that Duer might losenothing by his bargain, the Noble Lord decided it immediately in his favour.-- Now these were certainly most enormous accusations.' It was further stated that all the proceedings in the Commissariat department were full of corruption...- They paid 28-fr stivers where the same things might be had' for 10 stivers in the ordinary course of trade. The Learned Gentleman, after enlarging on those details, said that the Petitioner was ready to prove them at the Bar of the House. Indeed they were ample ground for an impeachment, if - true. He (Mr. Brougham) would himself impeach the Noble Lord if he had eel denceenough to support the - allegations. But in milting these statements he used the authority of the Peti tioner only. The Petitioner was consistent in his story and respectful in his language. He appealed before die House as a sufferer, and he asked for redress. If redresscould not be immediately afforded, at least let him have inquiry.. Let the Noble L'rd himself have an inquiry. It was no more than justice. To withhold inquiry would be injustice. Charges of this kind were flying about, and it was rank injustice to suffer them to float over the country without some attempt at refuta- - doe. Nothing bad been done. Commissioners Indeed were ap. poftted, but whets was their ripen? He knew that Mr.' Biggs (one of theCommitidoaers)was an able,bonest, and mai but be had been taken ill, and the rep o r t was arae t e ji~yldeyed. Major Colby, the tuber Commiisloner. might nine the Tepee g bat k was not done, and be feared it mould nut be. It was Wnitdy important that something 11100111 d be eliseted,for timsOassunkieners themselves were charged with is didecigamdmi to 61111 to the tom. plaints of persons aggrieved by theColedal GOVMMONIN. He should new move for kayo to bring up the Petition. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON began by complaining of the per: mai discourtesy of the Learned Gentleman, who had not previously informed him of the contents of the Petition, io order that he might be prepared with a reply. If there was any part of the,' correspond ence betw, en the Colonial Office and die Cape which could throw light on the subject it was at the service of the . House. It was unfortunate that the illness of Mr..Bigge had delayed the report of the Commissioners. Wite respeit to the charges in the Petition, be be lieved many of them to be extiege-ated, and some to be untrue. He had never before heat(' of j any imputa tions on the Commissariat, and should discredit them now until substantiated by evidence.

Earl FITEWILLIAM presented a Petition from the Protho. notaries of the City of York, claiming a compensation if the County Courts Bill passed into a 1aw....-Laid on the table. Lord KING said, he held a Petition signed by an individual, Dr. Maclean, In favour of the removal of the Quarantine Laws. The Petitioner•went into a long history of the origin and nature of the Plague, and.concluded that it was not contagious. Amongst other facts, he stated that for the last 104 yeers none of the &Pea' gators in the Lazarettos had discovered soy such result as coots- E. on. •If this were true, it certainly put an end to the necessity of Quarandne Laws. On such a point as this, he would not put pilcit tont:dem is the opinion of the College of Physicians. If he wished to reform the Law be would not refer solely to the Bench; neither, if his end were to amend the Church, would be apply to its Prelates, especially since the Archbishop of Dublin had said that the Athanuian Creed was nothing but a parenthesis from beginning to end. With respect to the plague, it must have several natures. The plague of indecision, for instance, suitors had long since discovered had found its way into that House. The worst of it too, was, that no doubt could exist of its being contagious. A Noble Earl bad come down, a week or two ago, firmly determined to carry a Bill for the Importation of corn from one of our Colo- oleo, without any limitation as to time. Unfortunately, however, he had sat down for a short whUe on the corner of the Woolsack, and had then taken his plate in the direct line of indecision. Im mediately all its hesitations bad come upon him. Instead of main taining the unlimited duration of his measure, he bad offered to morainic to three years, then to two, and at last bad given up the wbble altogether. Having, however, since dined with the Fred dent of the Board of Trade and the Chancellor of the Exchequer , all his decision bad reurnA and he wai now boldly preparing to lorrodose anoiher. nieasure tin the same subject. Lit him take care, however, where be-sat the next time that he came down to propose 'lt. The Noble Lord concluded• by. moving that the Petition be laid upon the WA.. rPItiCE SEVEN PENCE. • the evil of two rates of.exchange. He bad never heard of any Man named Mier, and the story of the horse was as ridiculous as the charge of corrupt interference against Lord Charles Somerset was eatrairagan.. But this was one of the facts which the Commissioners were . .to inquire into. He cautioned the House against too easily crediting such heinous accusations against Lord Chatits Somerset. He believed there was a conspiracy spinet him. If half the accusations advanced were tree, then the Noble Lord ought to be Impeached. and he would 'Support the motion. Ile did not believe them, and be called upon the accusers for their proofs. 'There was no disinclination on the part of the Govern ment to listen to complaints of aggrieved persons, and he really thought that Government did not deserve any of the imputations made against it. Mr. itROUGHA .explained.--41e said be would second a motion for a Committee of Inquiry to ascertain the truth of the charges against Lord Charles Somerset, and he wished to have the correspondence of Sir Rufane Deakin, which swatted those ' charges, laid before the Douse. Mr. WILNIOT-HORTON explained, and denied that Sir R. Deakin had made any charges against Lord Charles Somerset, though he would not deny but that some acrimonious feeling might exist between those two individuals. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that what bad fallen from the Hon. Gentleman, bore out all be had heard, which was that Sir R. Dwain was very WWI* to the proceed!ngs of Lord Somerset. Mr. I3ARI NO reprobated the principle on which the Govern 'Meat established Its new Colonies.. It was a Spanish and not in English principle; they gave a despotic power to the Governors of the new Colonies, and did nor establish them after the old example of the Colonlea in North America. There was a constant recus- Vence of abuse, and the House was continually harassed by listeu• ing to complaints. Mr. HUME dwelt on the abuses of the Gnvernment at the Capp, and s aid they were universally known. He had within a few hours seen a person • from the Cape, who bore out all the charges against Lord Chas. Somerset. Would the Colo n ial Office 'furnish the House with a copy of the Memorial presented by Mr. Burnett to Lord C. Somerset, and on account of which that individual bid been banished ? The Hon. Member complained of the .delay which had taken place with respect to the Commisiioners' Report. He was afraid that the public would have to wait a great while longer. He wished the Colonial' Office would lurnish.hint- with certain papers he could name, on which he tuight ground . a motion. For seven yeari he had been con stantly censuring our colonial system, and some change was imperatively called for. A t p resent , i t was in ivory respect faulty, injurious, and unjust. •At the Cape neither person nor property was safes Merchants would be obliged to quit the Colony unless Government interfered. The great agent oriel! at the Cape was the notorious spy Oliver, who now relied himself Jones., He held an trace of great Power which power be abused to the great injury of the Colony. O n this subjilet be (Mr. Home) ind lodisputabia evidence to submit: he entreated the Hours to. betides* at once, and correct the system. Mr. M A MLR LY said, the facts wereaoo serious' not to be en• golfed into, and it was • idle tikeseit - any longer fbr the Report. The House would not do its duty if it did not institute an,enqiiry. Justice to all parties, and particularly to the . Noble Lord himself, requited it.. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, he had no power to interfere. He was ready to admit, that if Mr. Burnett bad bike punished as he stated by the Dutch laws, those. taws ought to be changed. Bet the facts were not yet ?roved. and. it was neceirary to wait for the Report.: • • - Mr. E. ELIA CE aid, the.whole system was bad, not only at the Qpe, but likewise in the other colonies. The Hon. Member put a qoestion.ur the Hun. Secretary with respect to St. Lucia. Mr. WILMOT-HORTON was about to reply. when Mr. BROUGHAM said, that the Petition ought to tie disposed of before any sew subject was started. • Mr. E. ELLICE explained. . Mr. BROUGHAM, after bringing up the Petition; said, that he should depart from the usual modi cf proceeding, and should move that the Petition be re •ferted to a Select Committee of Inquiry. The Route ought not to be made, day after day, the sport .of in dividuals, who “ ventilated" their charges against high public o ffi cers, without calling on su c h indi v id ua l s f or • their proofs. It was equally important that the func tionaries accused should have an opportunity of freeing themselves from the imputations levelled anthem. If any objection were made to his motion as being unusual, he wan ready to yield, and change it into a notice of a motion. Lord Charles Somerset was a very IU-used man. and ought to have an enquiry granted to bins. As to walling until Mr. Bilge Might recover, and for the Commissioners' Report, It was perfectly idle. Mr. WILMOT.HORTON said, he would support any enquiry likely to be indsfusery. Mr. BROUGHAM then moved that the Petition be printed. Mr. HUMS wished to ask if anything had been done by. , Governesestmikh respect to Mr. Edwards, from whom he hat& few days ago presented a Petition ? lir. WI L MOT-HORTON said, that a letter had been Written . to the Governor of New South Wales, to inquire bite *elute and to liberate him. But be ought to say that there was a suspi- . don that. Edwards was a runaway convict, and. the Government instructions would be regulated by the truth er falsehood of that suspicion. —The Petition was ordered to fie printed. Mr. BROUGHAMgave notice that he shisold on Tuesday move . to refer the - Petition to a Select Committee. Mr. S. WORTLEY presented a Petition from Mr. R. Cowley, on the subject of the Poor Laws—Ordered to be - printed. Mr. N. CA LVERT promoted a - Petition from Ware, relating to the slaughtering of bones.—Ordered to lie on the table. • Mr. T. WILSON grewsted a Petition from the Journeymen Carriers of the City of London_and Borough of Southwark, pray ink 'that they might be beard by Counsel, before the Committee, against the enactment of the Combination Law's—Ordered to be printed. • • . 2?.

Mr. ELLICE wished to know from the Honourable Gentle man, the Secretary for the Colonies, whether the Report of the Comminisoen appointed to enquire into the Affaitiof the IsLod . • of St. Ludemras yet reedy • • Mr. WILMOT-HORTON add, that one of the Cominisslooers 'died while in the mend= of ,his duty.

He • feared it was now too lase to comply with the prayer of the Petition, as the Committee had Sokhed their labours. The Petitioners declared' donoselves ready - to prove that all the evils that occurred in Debit, went acceding* by the deduct of the masters. Alf.
