MINT STOCK COMPANIES. Mr. Alderman WAtTHM N said, he had a Petition to present which we nt deeply to affect the character ut a Member at that Hove, and consequently the honour - and character of Parliament. The Petition came from certain Shateholdtrs of the (ornwafl and Devon Mii.isig A,%ociatiew. It rived that a Gentleman, nnw a Mem b.t of thot 'Hot.te, in tic month of April,lB2s, ei..ered into a contract with a Mr. Teague, which was to be conditional upon the formatims of a Company, for pay ing him 78,0001. as the purchase of certain mines. tihbrtly afterthit contract ►►as made, a public metal% was called at the Albton Tavern,and a Company was got up, to whom the mines were to be charged 121,0001. An Hots. Member of that Hanoi (Mr. Barrett) sat in the chair at the meeting. A few days after that, another meeting took place, at which Mr. Peter Moore presided, and a prospectus was then agreed to, which contained a false and fraudulent representation of the .tale of the property. At th it meeting it was also determined that 2.750 ►hates should be reserved for the benefit of the Directors and Officers of the Company, and lotted up in a tin box. When the shares were in the mat ket, the Directors, to give them a fictitious value, purchased 1,000 at a premium, and the sum of 6,0001. was actu ally debited to the Company for the expense of that transaction. The Petition stated further, that Mr. Wilks, the Member to whom he had alluded, be'ore he had taken possession of the Frame'', for which he had agreed to pay 78 0001. charged it to the Company at 120,0001. and that 20,0001. was paid him by chequts from the Directors before he entered into possession. After that the agreements were stated to have been cancelled at a subsequent meeting, and 34.0001. more advanced to Mr. Wilks. So that 42,5001. was charged to the Company by Mr. Wilks, beyond the real purchase money of the estates. If the state ments of the Petition were true, it therefore appear ed that a fraud to this enormous amount had been committed. Of the 2 750 reserved shares, not one had bren paid upon by the Directors, who, instead of pair ing for them, made further coOls upon the other share bold, rs, and had actually 'commenced prosecutions against some of them for not complying. He was bound to say that amongst the Directors were many highly•respectable Members of that House, and many not Members of the House. but not less respectable. There were Nnble Lords, Hon. Baronets, and Hoo. Members, who, he was sure, upon investigation. would be found to deserve no other blame—and great blame he thought that was—than the folly and imprudence of , connecting themselves with such schemes. The Petition prayed that the House would institute an inquiry, and adopt such measures as would vindicate the honour and character of the House, and Ore security to the public against the repetition of such frauds. It was his listen lion to move that the Petition be referred to a Com mittee. He wished it to be read at length. The Petition was then read * at the mum of both Mr. Wiaxa and Alderman %Yamamoto. Mr. WYNN could not agree with the Hon. Alder man, that the House was bound to enquire into the ally gations of the present Petition—though the House was a Supreme Court, exercising authority over matters that did not fall within the jurisdiction of a Court of Justice. Yoe Petitioners in the first place complained of the con duct of an individual, who (however true might be the , grounds of the complaint) was sot * Member of the, House when the transaction took place ; and in the nest place, were now the defendants in a Court of Law, in matters relating to the ground-work of the Petition— and therefore would, if the House received and voted on the Petition, prejudge their case in the inferior Coons Lord PALMERSTON, as one of the Directors of the Company, disclaimed all acquaintance with the forma tion and early proceedings of the Company—attended but five of its meetings, paid'his deposits, embarked his capital from a belief that it was a bona f:de speculation. and never received sixpence in return. He thought all who embarked in such proceedings should put up witb the loss, ifthey turned out unprofitably. Mr. PAULETT spoke to the same effect. Re spectable names had attracted him; he bad paid a eery considerable sum of money, and he bad not received one lashing. Mr. WILKS declared that the allegations of the Pe tition were untrue, and were merely put forth to get rid, by a side wind, of the verdict which a Court of Justice would have to award against the defendants. The Petitioners were in number but IS, and out of that number nine were holders of but one-eightieth of the capital of the Company. He was therefore bound to maintain that the majority - di the Shareholders were opposed to the Petition. The books of the Company were open to the Petitioners; they knew the sums he (Mr. Wilks) paid for the mines; and that be demanded a return, and did not complain till they found, after two yeats trial; that the undertaking was not a suc cessful one. He embarked 30,0001. in qe Company ; while the united loss of the Petitioners did not exceed 1,0004 and be therefore bad a deeper stake in its prosperity and decline. The question was not what he paid or asked for the Mines, whether 40, or 60, or 80,0001. but what they were worth when the Company was formed? The Honourable Gentleman entered into a minute detail in defence of his connec tion with Mining Companies. He contended that the Petition was signed but by one eightieth part of the Subscribers and Shareholders, whilst, on the other hand, many persons had signed it, who were neither Sub scribers nor Shareholders. He, however, plainly saw that the real object of the Petition was to influence the Jury in the trying (statuses now pending, and in which they were involved as defendants. He ;bought the ob jects of the Petition es pane, and being ex pane, the House ought not to entertain it." On the score of justice, the petitioners bad every advantage—the parties had the title-deeds in their possession. With respect to. the charges of fraud, he. defied any man, even the Hon. Alderman, to prove that any transaction in which he was engaged WAS fraudulent. The Hon. Alderman in lending his name to the Petition, was assisting those persons who were desirous of poisoning the fountain of justice. No mine, if properly fbllowed up, would have proved more productive. It was not his fault that the Shareholders would not come forward to advance the necessary funds required to cleanse the mines of the water which had got into them. He really saw no utility whatever, which could result from the Petition; it was merely feeding private slander, and occupying the valuable time of the House,which might be employed in d scussing subjects of more advantage to the country. A Committee of Inquiry would not dissolve the com pact, nor restore the money which had been expended. He would ask what right tire House had to in et fere ? None ! They were private acts. TLey took place 18 months before he became a candidate for the honour of a seat in that House. Cases were pending, and to their decision he should quietly submit.: The Petitioners had their remedy in a Court. of Law. The House was a Court of Legislature, and ought to be engaged in dis cussing topics of more vital importance; the sole object, in his opinion, was to defeat the ends of justice. He, therefore, hoped, that the Hon. Member would not pees; the prin:ing of the Petition. He thought every end mild be apswered by its merely laying on the table.— Ile felt that it was an ri*.temptio ruin and degrade him, 'and he threw himself upon the mercy of those who had so kindly and so patiently listened to him. Mr. BANKES thought the Petition ought not to be printed * It contained a statement of facts (pending a trial in which the parties impugned were involved) highly prejudicial and es Tarte. Mr. ROBINSON thought a sufficient ease had been made out for inquiry. As he supported an inquiry into the Arigna Mining Company on a former occasion, and as the ch trader of other Members besides the Member for Sudbury were deeply involved in the allegations contained in the Petition, it was the bounden duty of the [louse to investigate them. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said, in reference to the Petition, he thought that there was not the slightest ground to impeach either of the other Honourable Gentlemen, whose names had been mixed up in that Petitiori. He thought, that while the causes alluded to ace pending, the House ought not in equity to its. l terlere. If the results of those cases were unfavourable' to the Gentleman concerned, he would be among the very first to expel him. Before he sat down, he would ask if Mi. Wilks bad been struck off the Rolls? Surely the Petitioneri ought to have ascertained this fact be fore they came forward to attack his professional cha ract Mr r.Aiderman WAITHMAN dweltat some leagth in support of the prayer of the Petition. With regard to the defence which had been set up in layout of an Hon. Member, whether that Member was a Lawyer he could not say ? but he would tell the Huse, that he would not trust himself in his company without a third person,- (Cries of Order). That was his opinion. SPEAKER called the last Speaker to order. Whatever might be the Hon. Alderman's private opinion, he (the Speaker) thought that in common decency he was bound to reftain from such offensive language. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN was sorry that the warmth of deba(e had led him into expressions which had b: en deemed by the House offensive: he did not mebn them to be so. The Hon. Alderman then proceeded to descant on the allegations contained in the Petition. and contended that the Shareholders were never told what the Mines had been bought for. They never would have bought a single share, if they had known that a profit of 40,000 i. was secured to the original purchaser. He proceeded to enter upon the conduct of the parties connected with the Directorship of the Welsh Iron .Company. Mr. WI LKS rose to order. He submitted to the Hesse wheelie It was fair to introduce matter rehtive to soother Company, whelk he was not dforded so opportunity to reply to the charge? There was nothiegaboot the Welsh Iron Company in the Petition. The SPEAKER suggested to the Honourable Gentleman. that being a new Member, It would be better to leave the Hesse to de• termioe the point of order. Mr. Alderman 4 1VAITHIMIAN contended that when the cha racter and honour of its Members were at state, the House was bound to grant the inquiry prayed for. Me denied that he bad been instrumental in bringing the Petition forward: be rather Memo rised than elicoorapd similar eons He might, ipoo inclined, have presented boodrods. After a few weeds from 11r. Waits, the Petition was Won the table.—On the "motion that it be primed, • Mr. WILES fruited the House would not allow the Petition to be printed, as beau the rusks of the trials were known, Its elects would be highly prejodicial. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he had no whit to press the Welting of the Petition. He awed& bovrear, after the recess, bring forward a motion connected with the anbiest.

Mr. SPRAYER—Have you any observed's@ to sear to the House es the writing of these latent Mr. Jambes here addressed a few words to the Hoses in a low tone of saki. He said he had been misled as to what had taken place is the House; and that his mind had been strongly excited, pertly in eansespassos of a bad state of health, and that be felt stn. ewe eentridso for the canoe into which be had in these ahem. atenees been betraynd.--Mr. Jennings was entered to withdraw. Mr. Secretary !BBL said that the person who had just appeared at the Bar was evidently in a bad state of health, and had made a very expUdt‘ ackeowledgment of his error. Ile would suggest, therefore, that enough had bean dome. Mr. fi;cretary CANNI NG said, that ft Intik appear magratiess In him to interfere between the indulgent Intermits of his Right Hon. Farad and the person who had just left the bar; but he thought that they could net, without some preilsdnary step, dis• miss the person who had written seek lease as Uses% threatening to overhang and obstruct their debates. Its should therefore move that Henry Constantine Jenning was guilty of a breath of the pri vileges of this House.—This motion having been agreed to, Mr. Secretary CANNING moved, that Henry Constantine Jennings be called in and reprimanded by the Speaker for the said breach of privilege. Mr . HUME thought that as the error into which this Individual had fallen, bad sprung from misapprehension and as It had been' amply atoned fur by his expression of contrition, no further pro. , ceedings was nemsaary. 1:k did not mean to defend the conduct of the individual, bet he had thought his character bad been assailed, and in all the circumstances perhaps um& had been dens as was required by the anal practice of the HMO. ' Mr. Secretary CANNING thought it impossible that such con.' duct as had been pursued is this instance, however apologised for or extenuated, could with any regard to their privileges, be visited with a more lenient punishment than had been proposed. The motion was then agreed te, and Mr. Jennings placed at the bar, when The SPEAKER addressed him in nearly the following words :—" Mr. Jennings—there is no daty more imperative upon this HoUse. either with a view to its own honour or to the public welfare, than that of guarding its privileges from viola tion. Nor is there any task more painful to the House than that of visiting the misconduct of individuals with its sincere anima.' version. This task is peculiarly painful to myself, also, from the apprehension that 1 may fall adequately to express the sentiments of the House. The Houk has heard with smashed's the fall and unreserved expression of your contrition. But for this, as dime sect as you have committed, would have called for a heavier /nark of displeasure. I have been commanded to reprimand you for your misconduct, and to admonish yea to gaged carefulli against its repetition." • On the motion of Mr. Secretary Cases.% Mr. Jennings via then ordered to be discharged from furthetattendusee, and the address of the Speaker to be entered upon the Journals. ~i.f~ . t . 7 ' 1 • 1 '-4 ' .. 1 % 1 . , 1 , f I ill ` ,4 . , i'' a ;I , y. il , 1 1 { r I I ' 4 '. l 11 r 1 • ~.. )4, CONIIIITTZE 01 SUPPLY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the Committee of Supply be postponed•• to Wed. nesday next. Mr. A. ELLIS said he would take this opportuaity of stating his objections to a project which he had un• derstood to be in contemplation of converting York House into a National Gallery. The situation and the construction of that edifice rendered it quite unsuitable for the purpose. In the present condition of the finances it might be inexpedient to incur the eipense of building a ptoper gaUery, but be thought it better to wait than vainly to strive to adapt an edifice to this purpose, which was so little calculated for it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said. that as soon as it became erident that York House would not, be wanted for the purpose for which it was built, it became the duty ai Government to Lcure the., priority of putchas•, in order that h might not fall , the hands of persons who could conceit' it into , llotel or any other establishment which would has been peculiarly inconvenient or improper. Arid anide t had been entertained that it might be appropriated two learned Societies which now occupi e d apartment' in Somerset House, and thus set free a portion of it, la building which was very much wanted f or Public ffuet, o a f e aheil building to fine h ouse I'heSocieties to which he alluded were thelto ya l finetatl and the Society of Antiquarians. On inspe c ti on ,h orrever, it turned out that the edifice was much la rger t h an wss required for these purposes. It did then occur that might be employed for the reception of the N at i onal pi e , tures. This, it was thought,particularly in present circus. s fr o mt n: es t h , wouldesro und. be andb etter t le thanbuildadap to tatadaptat i on the purpose, would be neither so difficult nor so tape s . sive as had been supposed. As to the fitness of building, he had the high authority of the Preside nt , the Royal Academy in its favour, who had gone ore? the House with him. They could not put the It n y,, Academy there on account of the great crowd of risi. tan, which flocked to its annual exhibitions, a cititins. stance owing to their being open only for a short r clod each year. To the National Gallery there had never, be believed, been any great resort. Wi respect to appropriating it to the Heir Appare nt , the Queen Dowager, such an idea had never been en , tamed. The gardens were too small,and there were other disadvantages of situation, which rendered it'onfit fr such an appropriation. At present, however, theh a ddi ag was not in their possession. The parties who had ex right to dispose of it had not yet stated their terms . mune, not a shilling would be laid out upon it without the previous sanction of the House. With tepee.' 10 ,‘ alteration of the Parks, the plan suggested the jeer before last was not now in contemplation. It was only intended to build some ornamental houses on theleft of the Bird•cage Walk, near the Barracks; and be thought this would not be a bad exchange for the dirty shabby piece of waste ground now to be seen there. was as averse as any person to an eocroachment upon the open space. Such a project he would never saattim. Sr J. NEWPORT and Mr. MABERLY severally e irtak i expeselve undertakings in the present (sedition el tile Ame n BANKES said, he thought he remembered being declared by a Right Hon.

Its proximity t the ford Gallery was also an advantage - ; for ilWoffel was not a public gallery, it was thrown urn ail =glliberality. Its distance from the Royal ad been mentioned as an objection ; ' must be recollected that the artists did not live ti,, and only sent their pictures there for exhibition.— [lt was bete observed from the other side of House, that the Artists studied at the Royal Academy, The Right Hon. Gentleman resumed—Those who slated upon that fact must require the National ' levy to be placed in the immediate vicinity of Somerset- House, which was a situation in many respect' highl objectionable. It was in one of the main tholoaghfsres• of the metropolis, and in the midst of bustle and fusion, circumstances peculiarly discordant wit: nature, and adverse to the objects of such an institu tion. It was not sufficient to say that the .Angeratein Gallery was large enough at present. If a place ficiently spacious were provided, it might induce others to follow the noble example of Sir George Beaumont, and appropriate their collections to the o. of the psi c and for the encouragement of the It would-be an object well worthy the application public funds,if the National Gallery, the Royal Society, and the Society of Antiquarians could be all placed under the same roof. An Hen. Menu= asked whether it was intended to remove' statues from the British Museum and place them, together with pictures, In the National Gallery ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER r that many legal objections made it impossible. 131 had been made, leaving certain statues to be kept with other articles specified in the will. An Parliament could certainly enable them to do it, but ought to be cautious bow they tampered with beq , of this kind ; as, chewing so lute respect to the testators, might preveqt others from bequeathing des to the Museum. Colonel TRENCH said, that he understood the Duke of York had intended to have had the which now decorated the top of York House, , into a dome, and that the expense was only estimate' at 4004 so that he di4,pot think it as unfair calms'''. to say, that the whole of the alterations necessary make it a National Gallery would amount to no' than 2,0001.
