VACCINATION BILL. E:►rl STANHOPE rose to move the second read ing of an Act for insuring the benefit of Vaccinatiiip.; to the poorer classes of society. It was reasonable, lie said, to dispose .of such a Bill in the. presence of snore thln two or three Lords, therefore he had given notice on Tuesday, when there was a th►n attend ance of Peers, of his intemin. to move the second reading this day. The B►ll itself was a curious one, and all the Bills on this subject were equally curious. One provision was, to have a red flag hung out of thy window, where any person was infected with the sit 01 pox, to warn passengers not to approach the. house. If that regulation had been curried into ef fect, persons would have been obliged in winter, per haps, to walk up to their knees in snow to avoid the window. The Noble Earl then referred to printed reports on the subject of Vaccination, to prove that injudicious vaccination in Cow-pack Establishments, had occasioned great mischief and death to children. 1-le concluded by moving, first, 4 1 That the Bill be read a second time e. and, secondly,' as - That it be rtinted." I3uth Motions were carried, and the Bill was con. scquently rejected. • • PETITION AGAINST A TAX BILL. Earl GREY .moved the order of the day for the consideration of a Pet.tion from the Licensed Victual lei s of the town of Aliiwick, praying their Lordships to tepeal the additional duties on beer, wine, spirits, sod tobacco licenses, passed during the present Sea. The Noble Lord presented the Petition on a f .rater (fib when objection was taken to it, on the gerund that it was not usual to receive any petition against a Tax Dia, during the Session in which .she Pi:l had passed. His Lordship, on that occasion, consented to withdraw it, until some search could:be ni,tde for precedents. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had found that it had been the practice of tl-.e House of com mons to refuse a great variety of petitions, for the zepeal of duties passed in the Session in which the said petitions were preferred.. It appeared on their 1; adships' Journal?, that in 1756 a qikstion arose. Whether, according to the practice of Parliament, the House could receive a Petition from the Lord Mayor and Comrnonalty of London t Also, one front the Merchants, and a third from the Tobacconists against certain duties on tobacco t A Committee was ap pointed to search for precedents, and they reported, that the Petition from the Lord Mayor and Corpora tion might be received ; the Petition from the Tobac. couists was also received ; but that from the Mer chants was rejected, on the ground that they had no peculiar interest in the Bill. The Petitiouers, ad mitted to appear by Counsel, were, however,,confined in their arguments against the Bill to points of new regulation. Earl STANHOPE pointed out several inaccura cies which had recently occurred y in Tax Bills, which he ascribed to the custom of relusing to interfere with such Bills. He was of opinion the Petition in the present instance ought to be receiveJ, and that the great of the people should not be curtailed. Eirl GREY.siated the object of the Petition, and adverting to the precedents stated by the Noble and Learned Lon!, could see no incoovenience that would result Iron? receiving the Petition. As it was of im portance that they should not shut their doors aartinst Petitioners, he should more, be said, u That this Pe tition do lie on the table." After a few additional observations from Lord ELnON, and the opinion of Lord 11.011SLYS in favour of she motion, the question was carried, the Petition ieceived, and laid on the table. IN TUC P11.1.014Y AIIOI,ITIO'N BILL. The Earl Of LAUDERDA LE rose, pursuant to r.o.tze, to move the second reading i‘t this Bill, and said, he had undertaken a duty of a serious nature. ' He was aware that any alteration ;n the criminal law of the country was to be attempted a ith great C.:M -OM and deliberation, yet, after what had passed, with sweet to ,hie subject, fp considered liiinstlf testified in the step he was pfking. The punishment orpillory was generally reprobated by the people at large, and in a great degree the sentiments of the Judges were ap,ainst it. The Noble Earl traced the origiii of pu• vishment by pillory to the reign of Henry the First, when butchers were placed in that situation for selling suably Folk. Salters lot ',clang bad bread were also treated ma similar way. It had been of late years used as punishment for the worst of crimes, but the Wert obj.tetion was, that, in some instances, it was %no punishment at all; in others it exceeded all juris. diction of law, and actually inflicted death, where the law da.not inflict dela. The Noble Earl in stanced the case of Dr. Shebeare, who was se - atenced to the pinery for a libel; the Sheriff, on that occa sion, suffered a servant to stand with au umbrella river. the Doctor's head during his punishment ; the Moll it the Came time formed a ring, and gave him wia► 41 for refreshment. This, in fact, was nu punish pent at all; and the law was defeated. His Lord.' ship had been on the other hand a witness of the se verity et this mode of punishment i . a man was put in "ihe pillory, in the Setetts,h,pUpeAshwetk, .far at vile offence, andi•-in lyte,iiiihutel he fell ‘ ifiwn dvid iltV 'etYbkquesice • Uf• the violence of tf:e Tl3eFf alsosin instariet of a Orson tasking . ;fon to avoid the shame Of the pillory. The Noble art w,,s wady tet admit that the law required severe , punishm nt, perhaps pillory for some crimes, but the punishment es it was that y a applied, might not tri . bit s allow d. liti.oncluded • moving the Bbe tcad , • .. second Lime,: in order to be centimitted. LrIfdILLENIXIIROUGH *aid, he rose In ra-. :ther a peinfulaituattein, because it might seem, if !did'not the proposition of the Noble Earl, Ilhat he ha'cl an interest in painful and vindictive pu -Inishment. 1-lowevrr he could not do his duty did he not exptz..l leis sentiments on die subject. The Noble Lord had truly said, the punishment of pilloty was -one of uncertainty, because it depended on the heat and fever of dreinob.. That abuse, however , was . to ] be ascribed to negh:ct of duty in those,tvho had to carry the punishment into execution. The imperfect' iez !eution of the law was ne impeachment to the law be sheritf was directed to be ready with his pone. i.vethatits to, see the law properly carried into crecu• tidn. In the case of Dr. S:etbeare, the. parties were .guilty of .an infamous ahnse of power.. In .anether ,instance, Daniel Isaac Eaton was puoialted for a libel meat odious to every pious man ; tt .wai supposed be would be the object of peculiar vengeance on the part of the mob, and.he was sentenced to be pilloried in the OW Bailey, because, if the mob had been in clined to endanger his life, he might have been car ried into • Newgate. Daniel I. Eaton, who was a most misehievous character, however, *found persons 1 to mitigate his punishment:—that was one of the in 7 ,l stances to prove that punishment by pillory was liable to abuse. It was not a species of punishment his Lordship admired, and he had only inflicted it in one case on the circuits, where a man had ban bribed to permit prisoners of war to escape, and ihaving con veyed them to the coast, left them to be taken again. The Lord Chief Justice entered on a most eldquent , and learned statement of the sentiments of ancient writers on the punishment of the pillory, and parti cularly distinguished cases of itatid,frilionarie:as they were described in the old statutes, to which that mode of punishment was applicable. In the recent case of a Purser who had defrauded Government; by forging certificates, purporting to be vouclwrs for rations, supplied to General Mina on the coast of Spain, and for a fabricated loss of stores, his Lord ship considered the pillory peculia: ly applicable. Sentence had been passed on him, and lie was to stand in the pillory on a remote day. The time had been deferred in consNuence of the expected dis cussion on this measuie. The Nob!e Lord opposed what he considered too rash a proposition, fir alter ing the criminal law, by doing away aTuraishment which had been knawn since It was applica. ble in some instance and care should be taken not tq abolish it in Coto. His Lordship concluded by moving that the Bill be committed this day three months. • The LORD CH4NCELLOR suggested that the Judges shauld be consulted wish respect to the offences to which the pillory ought to apply bciore the Legislature adopted any measure whatever on the sutlect. The Earl of LIVERPOOL acquiesced in thy 1 Lord Chancellor's proposition. He was oropinion. in cases of perjury the pillory was a proper puniab-1 malt. _ _ _ Earl STANHOPE said,. he wished for the aboli. lion of the pillory, because it was a punishment irre;! gular in its effect. If he had been tried for libelling the Corn Dill, and had been sentenced to the pillory, the mob would nor have pelted him. After a tel observations from the Marquis• of DOCGLAS- Lord LAUDERDALE made his reply, oblerr ing, that he should give way on this occasion, because he was sure it would 1 ,,e a :natter of high satisfaction to the amiable fe:ling► of his Learned Friend who brought forward tilt: Bill, to know ,it would le'ad to an effect which would benefit the existing penal code of this country.. The amendment was then agreed to without. a di vision, agd the Dill is lost for this Session. Several Bills were brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. The Bills were forwarded on the table, and the House adjourned... . HOUSE OF COMMONS. • • • The Apothecaries Bill, Colicilidated Fluid Bill, Flax Seed Bill, Cinder Bill, Inland Coals Bill, and Militia Pay Bill, were read a third lime and passed. 'lire Vote of Credit Bill was reported, and ordered to be read a third time tomorrow. Mr. IittOGDFX hr. .ught up the Report of the American Trade Bin, which, alter new words from Mr. A: lisowmt, Mr. Al derman ATKINS, MS.

CSLLOS of the Eaciseueit,•• Mr. .Altlerman A.ratt:s,. Mr. Howua ret, sad Mr. Ll4llll N GTO N, was reported, and ordered to be lead a third time to-morrow. • SLAV 4 'MADE. Mr. WILBERFORCE brought in his Bill for the mote effectually preventing the 'Trade in Slaves, by Colonial Register Mr. BARHAM entered heart and soul into the (.I)jt.ct which this Bill proposed to accomplish, but he trbk!cted, and with great reluctance, to the means it provided . tor envying that object into effect. The Bill assumed a contraband trade in Slaves to exist in the Colonies: but what proofs had been adduced of its existence ? Not even the form of an inquiry had taken place, and not a single instance had been ad ' %foetid. He was convinced in. his own mind that no such contraband trade was carried on, and he depre. tided an imputation upon the Colonies without the least ground in point of fact. Why pass a Bin against the unanimous feeling of the Colonies, and Illicit could not be carried into effect without their cordial concurrence ? He felt it necessary to say, an the present occasion, that, in a book recently pub. haled on this subject, there was much false rearm. ,ing and most peinicious doctrine, which, if acted up()A, •would prove extremely detrimental to the Co. lonies.—Being cin his legs, he would take the tipp or.. tunity of then giving notice, that he should, eerli in 4e'neet Session, renew a Bill which Mad the 'ianctiuirof that 'House, and had been thrown oat in another. He trusted those who ifo eagerly resisted it.weuld. - fcel it their duty, after opposing 'sure, to suggest some measure on their own views, to remedy the evil. He repeated, that- he thought there was Ito necessity , fur : tins UAL tiolitise4 • 1 . a. , -. •• prevent a contraband trade in Slaves, which had no eiisteniet. • -It reminded him of the Basin Ovid; itt sf foes ate pulvis tunes so core autism." Illis;Otnitted the seal for the abolition which ani- Mated the conduct of Gentleitsen,e but he lamented, *Abe tame time,_ a derma animosity to the Colo alto which seemednlso to prevail. Mr. W. SMITH regretted the necessity of differ ing from his Honourable Friend who had last sat diiisin,' , and 'trusted he would not persit in any opposi tion to the Bill ; a Bill which was framed not against the great colonial body, .not even upon the assump don that a contraband. trade was carried on to any extent, but upon the supposition that the crime was possible, and would therefore be attempted by some few evil disposed persons even in the most virtuous community. The provisions of the Bill were directed only against the fevi who may violate the law. Mr. A. BROWNE ttioUght the Bill wholly super. f~uotis. What proof was adduced of the existence of the crime intended to be repressed not even an in quiiy had been made into the matter. He should therefore oppose the Bill. • Mr. GORDON also opposed the Bill, and paid some compliments to his Honourable Friend (Mr. Barham) on the management of his estates. Mr. WILBER FO RCE replied.—Not only the planters, but the historians of Jamaica had declared it would be nearly impossible to prevent the importa tion of slaves, and in this the naval officers agreed ; it was therefore necessary to take every internal melt. sure to prevent the introduction and contraband. sale of slaves. He denied that he had been guilty ofany general calumnies against the West Indians, but of the system exalting in t'.: West Indies; he would again assert, that it was the worst that had ever existed-, much worse than the slavery of Greece and RoMe. In the West Indies the slaves were .mere .hewers.of wood and drawers of water, whereas among the slaves of antiquity were to be found 'some of the vt•ry best I writers of their time; this formed a very striking con trast. The Bill was necessary, and would behineficial, and even those wio opposed it couldennedeny the jus tice of its principle, nor could they dispute the facility of evading the act of abolition as things now stood. He had heardenough of the West Indian Legisla tures, not to be very sanguine in his expectations of any thing good from that quarter. It had indeed been declared, that the few good acts which had passed in the colonial legislatures were rather the cflect of a wish to prevent the Parliament at home from inter fering, than of any desire for the well being of the negroes. It had often been:represented, that it was an intolerable evil to tear wives. from their lu:shit:di, children from' their mothers, and in short to sunder all the dearest ties and relations of life ; and it had been proposed to counteract this great evii by making the slaves am-I'lli but even this had never been put in practice. With respect to the West Indians, he bad no doubt but theft were among there many benevolent individuals, and for the Honourable Mem. I ber (Mr. Barham), he had no. doubt he was willing to snake extentive sacrifices for the comfort of his negroes : but he could not know their situation e they might be most materially injured without his know ledge, notwithstanding all the beneficent instructions which he might send out to his managers. He should thdefore move that the Bill be read a first time and printed, in order that it. might go across the woter for examination, that opinion there might pinnaunce tiptin it whether it was a proper Measure or not. . Sir G. N. NOEL said a few words, and the Bill was . read a first ti:ne, and ordered to be printed. BREAD ASH.= Mri F. LEWD; moved the third reading of the Dread Assize* Abolition Bill. • .-General- THOR/sFroN wished to reduce the pe. nalty. tor using alum trom £'2o to Rio. He under. stood that it was used in such small quantities that it :could not he injurious.. The Hone Mover of the :BiH, however, deserved so well of the Hous: and the country for his exertions, that he would not press the alteration, utiles% it met the views of that Honourable •Member. • Mr. F. LEWIS said he was not disposed to alter the penalty, for he had learnt that there was scarcely a baker in London that did not pot alum in his bread; this . eaten daily was very injurious, particularly t 6 children.
