NUMBER j 1 ,t45.] CONTRACTS FOR COALS AND CANDLES. WELSH IRON AND COAL MINING COMPANY. riflE DIRECTORS of thi s COMPANY, o b serv i ng that Mr. Ltraszron, the Member for Staffordshire (which County is deeply interested in Iron Works and Collieries, natu rally not very friendly to Establishments of a similar nature in Wales), moved the House yesterday evening to discharge the Com mittee on a Bill introduced this Ses , ion, to enable the Company (already established by Deed of Settlement, and signed by all the Shareholders), to sue and be sued, in the name of its Chairman or Secretary, they beg to apprize the Shareholders in this Company, that such Motion might have been spared, since the Directors had determined nut further to prosecute the Bill this Session ; which fact the opponents of the Bill must have had ample opportunities of ascertaining. As a long, expensive, and vexatious opposition was anticipated in the progress of the Bill, and as a Bill was already pending for the regulation of Joint Stock Companies, and information obtained of the proposed introduction of another Bill for the same purpose; in one or the other of which probably some general Clauses, enabling Companies to sue or be sued, may be introduced. The Directors, acting under these impressions, have thooght it inexpedient furths r to prosecute the Bill.

The Member exemplified also the case of Wells, in Norfolk, where there had not been one .Itrorney for 40 years, whilst in a neighhouring town there were no less than eight thriving characters of that profession. The reason of thi , diff_lence was, that pains had been taken to disappoint the first settlers ih that line.

Lord ALTIIORP said, that the present Bill took away much of their power fiom the practising Attornies in the County. Courts. lie feared it was impossible to do without Attornies altogether, as the lan-ties concerned would sot be able to place their case fairly before the Court. —The Bill hiving been read a third time, Mr. Alderman WOOD proposed the adoption of a clause ex empting the City of London front the operation of the Bill. This clause was brought up and added to the Bill by way of rider. A similar clause exempting the Small Debts' Court of Bristol from the interference of the Bill, was also added to the bill. Colonel TRENCH refrained front moving the admission of a clause to exclude Attornies from practising in the County Courts, owing to the opposition expressed towards it. After some verbal amendments the Bill was passed. The County Rates' Mortgage Bifl was read a third time and passed.

HOUSE OF OF LORDS, MAT IL The Lords' Committee of Privileges on the Henniker Peerage, received further evidence in behalf of the Claimant's right to vote at the Election of Representative Peers for Ireland ; and the Loan CHANCE LLOa moved a Resolution, to the effect that the Claimant had made out his claim, which was unanimously agreed to. Additional documentary evidence was adduced on behalf of the claim to the Annandale Peerage, of JOHN Jeans Horx JOHNSTONC, Esq. of Annandale; and Huou James Roixo, Esq. one of the Clerks to the Signet in Scotland, was fully examined as to the'authenticity of the documents, as to identity of signatures attached to them, and their being true transcripts from the Scottish Records. • Three witnesses were examined as to the claim under• the Gard ner Peerage, and further consideration adjourned until Mon day se'nnight. - Coun'tl were heard on an incidental point in " Norbury v. Meade," and, after a few n!•servations by the Loan Ciieucai.Loa and Lord Iteoasnai.v, th., Arreal was dismissed as irregular, with out costs. Mr. Soucrrort-Gatmcsr. (o ith whom is Mr. O'Coroutt.i., of the Irish Bar, who will address their Lordships en the next day on which the LORD CIIANCRLIoa will hear causes in appeal, if he shall not finish his argument this day) was heard in the Irish Appeal Scully *. Scully," for the appellant. Mr. BROGOZN, and others from the Commons, brought up a Bill for the better regulation of Copartnerships and Banking Con cerns in Ireland, and several Private Bills, which were read a first time. On the motion of the Earl of LivsarooL, the Canadian Cora and Warehotiqed Grain Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed sin Thursday next. The Razes of Postage Bill, and the Irish Chancery Court Bill, were read a second time. Viscount MELVILLE gave notice, that he-should, to-morrow, move the ,second reading of the Scotch Peers Trials' Bill, for which also their Lordships were directed to be summoned. The new Thrown Silk Bill, the Naval Asylum and Greenwich Hospital Consolidation Bill, the Pembroke %larket Bill, and some other Bills, passed through Committees of the House. Earl DARNLEY, in consequence of the heavy busiatss which had pressed upon their Lordships for some evenings, had postponed the correction of an error which had been committed by the Papers, with regard to a Petition which he bad presented upon the Catho lic question. He did not mean to complain of the mistatement, as he thought it extraordinary that reports should be generally so correct as they were, considering the circumstances under which they were taken ; but he regarded it as his duty, when entrusted with a Petition, to set the Public right with respect to the place from whence it came. He had been described as having presented a Petition in favour of the Roman Catholic Claims, from Graves end, whilst it really was from the Parish of Gillingham, in the County of Kent. He should take this opportunity of saying, as he had been instructed to do, that the Petition presented by a Noble Lord opposite, from Sheerness, had been g o t u p by pl acar d, an d that the Chapl ain of the Hulks and Methodist Parslots bad joined in procuring signatures for it. The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a Petition from the Town of Paisley in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. C. DUN DAS presented a Petition from Welford and Box ford against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. C URTEIS presented a similar Petition from Samuel Square, Esq. Corn Merchant, London. Mr. LINDSAY presented a Petition from the Corporation of Cupar, against the reduction of Duty on Foreign Linen. The Ilonourable Member presented another Petition from Perth, against the Salmon Fishery Bill. Mr. S. RICE presented, a Petition from the County of Limerick, in favour of the Rmigration BilL Sir J. BERES FORD presented a Petition from Berwick-upon; Tweed, against the Duty on Seaborne Coal. Mr. H. DRUMMOND presented a Petition from Francis, Lord Grey, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Salmon Fishery Bill . . Similar Petitions were presented from the Proprietors of the Riveri Dee and Don, in Aberdeenshire, the County of Cornwall, and the Inhabitants on the River Shannon.--The above Petitions were severally read, and laid on the table. Sir I. COFFIN observed, that the Petitiosers from the North, against this Bill, were not aware that the salmon came much earlier into the rivers of the South, than in the North. Sir R. SHAW presented a Petition from the Chamber of Com merce, Dublin, praying for a revision of the Butter Laws.—Laid l on the table. Sir THOMAS ACLAND moved for leave to bring in a Bill, to enable Magistrates, at Quarter Sessions, to regulate the expenses of convictions under the Vagrant Act. Mr. ESTCOURT said be did not think a Bill of this nature at all necessary, inasmuch as the existing law provided for the objects which his lion. Friend's proposed Bill contemplated. Mr. S. BOURNE was of opinion that some corrective should be applied to the evils which grew nut of the present Law upon this subject. lie should not, therefore, object to the introduction of the proposed measure. Mr. SYKES supported the motion. He did not hesitate to say, that he thought some legislative enactment upon this sub ject necessary. Sir T. AC'LAND said, that the sole object of his Bill was to establish a sound economical system tii expenses with the concur rence of the whole Bench of Magistrates, instead of leaving those expenses to the regulation of individuals.— Leave was then granted.

On the Order of the Day for receiving the Report upon this Bill, Lord A. HAMILTON gave notice that upon the third reading of this Bill, he should move that it be read that day six months. After a few words from Mr. P. Mooar, the Report was brought up. • Mr. J. I'. GRANT said, the proposed mode' of paying the Judges of Scotland was in his opinion very objectionable. He did hope that the Scotch Judges would be inc;uded in the arrangements at present on foot for the payment of the English Judges. The LORD ADVOCATE observed, that under the present system of judicial appointments in Scotland, the present arrange menu were the most suitable. Sir J. NEWPORT said, he hoped the Irish Judges. would meet with the same reward as was about to be given to the English Judges. Mr. A Bir.RCROMBY thought that some provision should be made with reference to the Scotch Judges, which should place them beyond the hope of promotion after their elevation to the Bench. Mt. It. MARTIN said, he hoped the Right Honourable Barrmet (Sir J. Newport) would bring forward some motion embodying his views with reference to the Judges of Ireland. After a few words from Mr. H. Munn° Nco, the Report was read, and adopted by the House. The House went into a Committee upon the Scotch Leasing Making lAIL—The Report was brought up, and ordered to be re. ceived to-morrow. The House resolved itself into s Committee on the Scotch Ali ment of Prisoners' Bill, the Report was ordired to be received to-morrow. QUARANTINE LAWS. Upon the motion that the Report of the Quarantine RR be brought up, Sir 1. COFFIN said, since he had the honour of a seat in that House, he had acquired some information on the subject of the plague, which he thought it his duty to mention. It would be recollected that the plague raged at Malta some time ago with great vio lence. Every exertion was made by Sir Thomas Mait land, and the Local Government to arrest its progress. A cordon sanitaire was drawn around the villages, and every precaution was taken; but it was not got under for a considerable time, and until 5,000 Maltese died from its ravages. All this time the little island of Goza remained untouched, and not one of i.s inhabi tants died of plague. Some time afterwards, when plague was no longer known at Malta, the clothes of a person of distinction (a Maltese), were taken up :tnd brought to lioza, and by this means the plague was in. troduced into that island, and no less than six hundred persons died of it. An instance was known, and has been well a'tested, where, by means of a skein of thread, which had been about the person of an infected individual, a young Lady took home the plague, and she and her whole family perished. In all the towns of the Mediterranean, the Franks or Christians shut themselves up in their houses, receiving their food through vinegar, and by this precaution they preserve themselves from the plague. He knew it was the opinion of some Honourable Members that the plague was not contagious, and could not be communicated by apparel—(lkar, /tear). He believed it might not in fect some Hyperboreans, with hides like a rhinoceros, but he had little doubt that it would infect ordinary men. Our indifference upon the subject had already reached the Continent. He (Sir I. Coffin) when he went in a man-of-war to Leghorn, was put under quarantine for twenty days. If the cotton grown in Delta should be introduced into this country, he thought it very likely it would bring the plague along with it. Ile mentioned these facts, not for his own sake; it mattered little whether bis head should be blown away by a cannon ball, or whether he • :could die of the plague; but for the sake of posterity, and the well-being of the country, he thought it his duty to state his opinions. Lord BELGRAVE thought the ciicwnstance men tioned by the Honourable Member (Sir I. Coffin) of the security of the Franks, was sufficient to ovetturn the doctrine of non-contagion. The Franks take the proper preciutions to avoid the contagion, and they escape; on the contrary, the Mahometans consider the plague a sacred disease; they take no pains to resist its progress, and conceive that when they die from it, they ate taken to the arms of Mahomet, or the Houries. This fact should induce the House to coesider, before the system of precaution was given up. Our opinions on this sub ject had already reached Marseilles, Leghorn, and other ports, and the consequences were likely to prove most prejudicial to our trade. At several ports the period of quarantine for English ships was extended, and some species of goods perished before they were brought ashore. These considerations ought not to be over looked. Indeed, he (Lord Belgrave) round it impos "sible to imagine why the Honourahl: Gentleman (Nlr. Grant) should have introduced such a Bill? He knew it was improper to impute motives to Honourable Members, but he must say that he believed the Ho nourable Gentleman had it in view to establish a joint stock com pany for the extension of burial grounds. There was no other reason why he should have introduced such a Bill. In conclusion, he thought it the serious duty of the [louse to pause before they ran the hazard of introducing a dreadful disease., upon the intr.. rested recommendation of some Manchester manufacturers. Ha cAlled upon them, like the ancient prophet. "to stand between the dead and the living, and to stay the plague." Mr. 13ERNAL said'it was the opinion of many me (l cal men that apparel taken from the living conveys contagion, but that clothes taken front a dead subject is not so likely to communicate it. Medical men were much divided, and PORT OF HASTINGS.
