PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCH ;C. Dr. Pnauxosi and others brought up a Message front the Commons, requesting a Copy of the Evidence cabin' &Aire theli Lordships on the Green Divorce Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the Commons that their Lordships would send an answer by Messengers of their own. Mr. BILOGDIN and others brought up from the Commons the Assessed Taxes Repeal Bill, the Imperial Gas Company Bill, the Alliance Insurance Bill, and the Anambra' Certificates Bill, which were read a first time. Earl GROSVENOR resented . a Petition from John Gale Jones, praying that their Lordships would interfere with their le gislative authority, in order to put an end to the disgraceful practice of bear-baiting, badger-bunting, and other barbarous sports. There were, the Noble Earl observed, three modes in which cruelty was exercised towards animals: by open ill-treatment in the streets, or anywhere ' • by bear-baiting and such practices as the present Peti tion justly reprobated ; and accidentally by fox-hunting, or any other kind of bunting. Against the first their Lordships bad al ready legislated, by passing an Act to protect animals against brutal ill-treatment. It remained for them to consider whether they would legidate against the second, and put down all the cruel sports detailed in the Petition. But if they did so, they could hardly re frain from adopting some measure against the third, for besides that the practice was unnecessary, Country Gentlemen bad many im portant duties to discharge. instead of dedicating their time to fox hunting.—The Petition having been read, and laid on the table; The question of adjournment was put by the Earl of Smarm. ' SORT who resumed his duties in the House last night for the first time since the heavy calamity with which be was lately afflicted. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The same Honourable Member presented a Petition from Mr. John Peters, of Dublin, preferring charges spina the Corporation of the City of Dublin, Ind praying an inquiry into its conduct, and that an Act might be passed for the City of Dublin, similar to that passed in 1923, for the City of Limerick. A New Writ was issued for* County of Bucks, in the room the Honourable Richard Noel, now Lord Braybrooke; and another Writ for the Borough of Dartmouth, in the room of the Honour able Colonel Stanhope. deceased. Colonel TRENCH brought in a NU for erecting a Quay and Terrace on the North Remit of the Thames front Craven-street, in the City of Watminster,to Hlackfrlar's•bridge. - Mr. CALCRAFT said, he should not occupy tbe time of the House at fresent in pressing his opposition tot this Bill. If, how ever, the next Committee should report like the last, that the Stand ing Orders had been complied with, there would then be another opportunity, for a trial of strength. He (Mr. Cakraft) was sada fied that the project could not hope to succeed during the present Session.—The Bill was then read a first time.

Mr. GREEN rose to move the recond reading of this Bill.—An Hononral.le Member opposite (Mr.' Hobhouse) had made statements injurious to the suc cess of the undertaking, but he would place against that lion. Gentleman's assertions the evidence of Baron 4e Humboldt. The latter had described the district of Pasco as abounding with silver, and he (Mr. Green) was ready to prove the validity of the present specula tion before the CoMmittee. To skew the misconcep tions which were aloft respecting this 101, be should merely mention that three days its be was asked if the ondertakko took its name, Paseo, from that of as Hon. Member oa the other side (Mr. Pascoe Grenfell), who was known to be deeply cencommr in daises, let he (Mr. Green) would go farther, he expressly de.; nied thi right of the House to enquire into partic ulars of adventures which indiekluals might engage in—when they did not trench se private priperty. He trusted the Home woad support his motion. Mr. HOBHOUSE feared he should be under the necessity of taking up a greater portion of the time of the House on the present occasion, than was generally occupied by Hon. Members on the subject of private Bills. He thought, however, the period had arrived, when it betadse the duty of Pirliament to denounce the pernicious spirit of gambling, which now prevailed in schemes of this sort, and in which the House would. become a sort of accomplice if it sanctioned specula tions without any real foundation. For his part, let One man dupe another if he could on the Stock' Es change, but let him not come to Parliament to assist him an carrying on deceptions to the injury of the pub lic. If individuals wished to mine, they might do so without any Act of that House. His Hon. Friend the Member for Midhurst (Mr. J. Smith) was, he presumed, the Chairman of a Company for mining in Mexico, but they did not attempt to palm , their project on the cs munity by a BilL of .this description.., They bad seat 'out, persons to .Mexico 'properly qualified to ascertain the state of the mines., and on that evidence they in tended to bottom their establishment. What he ob. jected to in the present Bill was, that the framers of the Company came down to the House solely to raise the price of their shares in the Stock Market, and he was going to add, that be had learnt many poor persons, *ho, isy industry and thrift, had realised small sums, were daily in the habit of drawing them from 'their 'Bankers, to invest their all in these new projects. Let not the House aid in deluding those persons, by appear ing to sanction such schemes. No other Mining Com pany but the present bad sought an Act of Parliament to give currency to its proceedings. It was, however, be must say, hard for an independent Member of that House to do his duty with respect to such Measures. In consequence of what had fallen from him on a former night, both private and public losses had been taken to intimidate him from pursuing the object for which be now rose. But to use a homely phrase, it would be found, though Members might differ on political grounds, they would not allow themselves to be bullie& He should nest trouble the House to, thew how the original projectors of this Bill contrived to put large sums of money in their pockets. The cap', pital of the Company was gated at one million, and he would take for granted that there were fifty projector& Between these fifty persons the stock of the Cobariby was divided, in portions of 200 shares each, upon eads of which shares each projector paid an advance of M. making a total of 1,0001. But , before a single share was brought into the market, the public who inquired for them were told that they had risen to 161. each.— Now, supposing each projector sold out of his 200 shares sixty-six, at 161. a share, that would come to 10561. or to 561. mote than the price of the whole 200 shares—and then he should have 134 shares clear profit, without risking a farthing, which, at the same rate, would put 2,1444 into his.pocket. The advertisement: and puffs which were published in support of pang, were really disgraceful The consequence , ever was, that the shares rose to 501. each, which the projectors a gain, on the 134 shares, of s - But if, like those of the Real del Monte Company, shares should advance to 6001. or 7001. a piece, projector of the speculation would realise .- 90,0001. without any risk whatever. This call was made on the supposition that the original were fifty in number, but he believed they above twenty-five; and if so. their profit double, or upwat di of 160,0001. each. He (I house) found that the total capital of the :err panies- which had been started in the City, about 166 millions ; and he really thought, mania extended to such a length, some check be imposed on it. He would here trouble the with the opinion of Lord Chief Justice Abbott, recent occasion, Joseph v. 'ftevor, as regarded speculations. It was as follows: His Lordship said " That it was evident the action maintained, at the Company itself was illegally formed. parry peptised to lend money at a higher rate of interest allowed by law, the whole forty thousand subscribers ' I denim conform to the regulations prescribed by the , Hamm regulating pawnbroker., or all that they did mid ass remedy for it could be had in a Court of Law, S ~ } ~ _ _._. i iiiiill What the Lord Chief Justice said then, strictly applied to the present Company. He (Mr. Hobbouse) should now advert to the two prospectii.es and a pamphlet which had been circulated by the l'ascn Company, and if from those documents he did not fully expose the de lusion attempted, he should never ask a Member of that House to go along with him on any question. In the first prospectus the Company stated that they had se cured by contract the Mines, and the heights of Pasco, in other words on the ridge of the Andes. And from whom had they so secured them ? from one Quetos, an expatriated patriot, who, when La &ma and Canterac, were in pncsessinn of Callao and Lima, was obliged to fly the country and seek refuge in Europe. He cer tainly understood that subsequently the Company en gaged Queios, as an agent, and intended to dispatch him to Peru. The prospectus went on to assert, that such was the fecundity of the district they had secured in the precious metals, that even the building stones with which a small town in the vicinity was erected ' were rich in silver ore—(A laugh). The prospectus proceeded to say, that the Complus, should not enter :nto a rivalry with the celebrated Mines of Arumta and Potosi, but they could maintain that those of Pasco would produce a torrent of silver—(A laugh). He should now allude to the pamphlet which the Com pany had liberally distributed both in and out of that House. In that production they stoutly laid it dowa that they should think themselves . justified in coming to that House with their Bill, if tt did not possess a single mine —(Hear). But what said the prospectus? —that one of the Directors was acting under the Go vernment of Peru. Might he ask them, whether the Government alluded to was a Royalist or a Patriotic Government? It was, in short, broadly affirmed that the individual in question was acting under the independent authorities of Peru, although at that period, and until the recent victory achieved by Bolivar, the Royalists were in possession of whatever administrative power remained in the country 1 Could be designate conduct ..of this sort more mildly than to call it a gross delusion, when at the very time one of the Directors of the Company was alleged to be acting Isere under the independent authorities of Peru, no in dependent authorities whatever existed there ? The first prospectus held out another bait. It stated that the subscribers were only liable for the amount of their respective shares, whereas by law they were liable to the whole amount of their fortunes. and thus a clause in the Bill directly opposed the prospectus... 4. The object, it was plain, was to bare the shaves greedily taken in the market in the first instance, and let the purchasers abide the consequences after. wards. He must further beg the attention of the House to the second prospectus. In that the projectors set forth, that not satisfied with the advan tageous bargain they originally concluded, they had entered into a new engagement with one individual, by which they secured to the Company 860 additional Mines, each Mine occupying 1800 square yards. To shew the House how little faith this Battering annun ciation was entitled to, be would refer to a book pub belted under the authority of the Viceroy of Peru. in 1796, and giving an account of the whole district of the Pasco and Hualancah Mines. The work stated that the number of Mines worked was 78, and of those not worked 21, making in all 99—(Hear). —The owners of the mines were alleged to be 102, and yet the Pasco 'Peruvian Company tells the Public that they have pur chased three hundred and sixty Mines from one per son. They likewise asserted the produce of these mine, to be prodigious, although, in 1801, the Baron de Hum boldt computed it not to exceed 2117,465 marks. To I sum up all, it was in short affirmed, that the prolict tors possessed three thousand mines in a district, be it remarked, containing not more than five thossaid inhabitants, or a man and a half to each mine.. He knew by mines they meant what in this ceoury were called shafts; but was that a fair way of laying down the facts? They stated, moreover, that not opir was coal provided for working the mines, but several large reservoirs of water,aad some fields for thegrowtb of barley. Now be it observed, those fields for the growth of barley were jut 18,000 feet above the level of the sea,and it was universally allowed by Naturalists, that in the Torrid Zone even firs did not grow above a heightof 10,000 feet. The fact indeed was,that the peo ple who worked the Pasco Mines were fed by prowl sloes brought from Lime, and from the same distance at the opposite side of the mountains, at three or four times their original cost. At 12,000 feet above the level found of 4 4 • * • :.• i .. . .. :,.. . 7-- f7 s: i k:.. :., ~7 i l k : r , • 4... , __ - . *.:.:. :... 7 I' , .... .., • . ... i • • .
