The SPEAKER "aid,' unquestionably such conversation' are disordedy, and any Member who wishes may object to them. , • aught, perhaps, to have called the Noble Laid (Claude') to order • in the first instance—(hear, hear !) but at the lime he was proceed. Mat Honourable Gentlemen near the Chair could perceive in what way my attend*o was engaged. The House will permit me to ob serve, that it is extremely to be regretted that the individual ap pointed to watch and detect disorder, should be prevented from discharging this duty until one side has already beewheard—(Hear, bear). If the House expect me strictly and rigidly to carry its orders into execution, which I am perfectly prepared to do , I only hope that Hon. Mem bers: will not think me guilty of personal 10. attention if l do nut listen to such as beset the Chair with inquiries upon other oubjects—(Hear, hgar). Sir B. KNATCHRULL was observing, " If any thing could ja tify the Noble Marquis"—wben he was interrupted by a geaeral cry of " Order ," and after a single word front Sir C. ;311 KRELL, Mr. M. Fitzgerald was skewed to withdraw his notice. Lord BELG RAVE presented a Petition prom Chester, against the Roman Catholic Claims. His Lordship observed, that be could nut concur entirely in the prayer of the Petition, viz." that no mea sure should be adopted by Parliament extending the power of the Pope, because he was satisfied, that to grant the claims of the Roman `Catholics would diminish, rather than extend the power of the Pope in this Empire. He hoped that the friends of Emancipation would select the time they thought most favourable fur renewing the discussion, with a view to some practical result, and not merely [Or the purpose of declamatory debate—(Hear!) Sir 11. kIARDINGE took that occasion to remark upon what had occurred a few moments previously, and to express hi, regret that the Catholic Claims should be sacrificed to other objects.—Here had the question been pp k tponr d sine die. He had always supp rted the Catholic Claims, and should continue to support them so lung as he should continue to have the honour of a , seat in that Ilouse; but w.en he perceived the ono. , sues resorted to by Hon. Members on the other side of the House, he could not help saying, that they were , calculated to defeat the hopes of the Catholics. What had been the conduct ,of Hon. Members at the other side of the if 'use? One Right Hon. Gentleman, who , Willi not now a Member of that House (Lord Plunket), declared on the 6tit of March last, in the debate on the Catholic Question, that if anything favourable to it could be urawn from the womb of fur Why, it was to be , effected only by the frequent discussion of the question , --(Hear, be s). What difference was there between , Match aid May? What had occurred since to alter opinions then formed ?..-(Hear). Another Right Hon. , Gentleman, a Minister of the Crown, on the same oc cation, declared, that the Catholics were kept in a state of oppression and persecution—yet, stow, he advocated the postponement of the question—(Hear). It was very evident, from what had passed, therefore, that the Ca tholic Question was to be sacrificed. Many of those who had lately gone over to the Right Hon. Gentle man, and gave him their support, only concurred with him on that—the Catholic—Question alone. Ou that of Parliamentary Reform, and, incited, on all other great public questions, they differed from, and had tit& tormlv pieviouslyrippoSed him. An Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who had just then entered the House, and who had been appoitned to the situation of Judge Ad vocate, had fur twelve years been opposed to the Right lion. Gentleman, except on the Catholic Question, wlich was a strokipg instance of the changes that had lately taken place. The Catholic Question was aban doned—efforts were made to smother it, and the pur poses wins which the House was' not informed, and, he efore, for the sake of their own consistency, in good I.ith to the Catholics, and in order to the maintenance of their own reputation in the eyes of the country, ttho.e Honourable Members were bound to explain eche motives of their conduct. When he heard from a Right Honourable Gentleman in Match last, that the cr.ntinual agitation of the Catholic Claims was necesa s try to their success, and now when, in May, he found a motion for their discussion withdrawn, he thought explanation of the motive of such change of opinion and conduct ought to be given. He just then perceived the lion. and Learned Member for Winchelsea entering the llouse.—(A long laugh, during which Mr. Brougham took his seat). On a former occasion, when the Catho lic Question was debated, that Hon. and Learned Mem. her accused a Right Han. Gentleman of monstrous tergiversation respecting it, and of truckling to Minis teas. What had been the seply of that . Rght Hon. Gentleman?—(Hear, hear, hear, from Mr. Brougham). The Right Hon. Gentleman had now done the same thing himself, with respect to his new adherents—for be bad stipulated for the keeping back of the Catholic Claims, owing to the ohjr ctious to them which he had ascertained to exist in a veil high quarter—(Heat).— Thus, he repeated, had the Caltoltc Q .estion been sacri ficed, as was evident from the withdrawing in May of a notice for their discussion,which had been given inM arch. Mr. M. Fl I ZGERALD said, if, as in the case of the• gallant Officer who had just sat down, any Honourable Member favourable to the Catholic claims had asked him, either in or out of the House, on what grounds be I had determined to withdraw his notice? he wouldhave staked thein—(Hear.) His motion was, be frankly con fessed, intended to compro vise the whole of the Cacho .lie Question ; and his reason for withdrawing his ;mice was, a conviction on his mind that the discussion of it at the present moment would be injurious to the Ca tholic cause—(Hear, hear, hear.) If toy thing were, wanting td confirm him in that view and that deternsi.l nation, it was to be-found in the opinions of the Calbo-1 lion--(to.._ th it Resolution of the Catholic Body ought to com pletely controul his own judgment, even if at variance with it ; and he felt too, that no person who was'zealcas or sincere in that cause, could consistently press it under eststiniciitumstances—(Heir, hear). The Gallant Offi cer had called upon him for explanation, but he thought he was equally entitled to call upon that Hon. Officer, and those who acted with him, for explanations of their. sown coasisteney, in professing their zeal fot the Catholic muse, while they placed themselves in the ranks'Of its Most implacifile enemiet--/toud cheering). He had bun most • ready, in the first instance, to state the grounds of his conduct; but he had thought that he ought not by doing so; to interrupt the public busints-. Nothing could be more uncandid—onothing more unge nerous—nothing more unjust to the Catholic clams, than to attempt to press them now—(Hear). He would contend, that the Noble Marquis (Chandos), at the other side of the House, Nod no right to call upon him, or limy other independent Member of, Parliament, to state why he sat therd?—(Cheets). He denied the right to do so on personal grounds—he denied it on Portia- Mentary grounds—and he shOuld like to know why he should not call upon the Noble Lord for the reasons why he sat where he did--(Hear, hear)? He would tell that Noble Lord, that he (Mr. F.) sat there bedaase it was that aide or 'the House which was most opposed to the Noble Lord's view of the Catholic Question—(Hear). He sit there to assist in resisting that cabal of which the Noble Lord appeared to be at thoSheado•-(Hear). He had come there to give to his own opinions the same support which other Hon. ,Membets did. He came there, moreover, to give to his Majesty's Government his support against a cabal—a faction—(Cheers.) He came there more particularly, from a sense of duty, to girc his best support to an Administration which in taided and promised well Tor the country at large ; but in an especial manner, to his own unfortunate country. He scorned any insinuatiOns against his consistency; and he challenged any Hon. Member to bring forward say charge of that nature against him—(Cheers). . Lord HOTIIAN was unwilling to rem sin altoge ther silent on the present occasion, as he thought.him "self ia some measure called upon to declare his opinion, nod the course of conduct which he meant to pursue. *Looking round him . on all sides of the House, he thought that the Ministers were the men most worthy of•confidence, and thetefore he was disposed to place the fullest confidence in them. stt. the same time, he highly respected those who had resigned the situa tions which they had held as Members of, the former Administration, and was sorry that any such charge AS that of conspiracy should have been made agaiust them. But although there was no coup:racy among them, who could say that there was not a tacit un derstanding as to the line of conduct which they should adopt. From the time when that affliction began under which the Esul of Liverpool had unfortunately laboured, who could believe that there was no commu nication between them on this subject, or at least a t mit understanding as to the manner in which they were to act ? And if there was such an understanding be tween them, the motive could hardly have been any other than to endeavour, not to compel certainly, but to induce his Majesty to abstain from placing she Right Hon. Gentleman opposite at the head of the Adminis tration ?—(Bear, hear). His (Lord Hurls im's) confi dence was strong in the Rii,ht Hon. Gentleman, and certainly was not diminished by seeing him surrounded and supported by the old and tried friends of freedom and liberality. He saw no incongruity in this at such a time as the present, when party differeoces had been almost extinguished; and it was surely highly condu cive to the best interests of the country, mere especially in its present situation, that the ablest men in that House should work together for its welfare—(Hear, heat.) With respect to the Catholics, it was better to let the subject alone, until they themselves should think proper to come forward in their own course; and then upon that, and upcn every other occasion, he was per sttaded that it would appear that none of the advocates of liberty had abandoned their principles—(Hear). Lord ALTHORPE said, when the new Administra tion was being formed, he entertained some doubts about the propriety of identifying himself with it; but those doubts had now been completely removed (Cheers). He felt that they were now called upon to choose be tween liberal principles and bigotry in its most hideous forms—(Hear, hear). He tegtetted he differed from the Right Hon. Gentleman on two great questions— Parliamentary Reform and the Corporation and Test Acts Repeal ; but lie should consider that they were madmen to seek to turn out the present Ministers, be cause they differed on those points, when by doing so they must replace others with whom they differed on nut those subjects only, but on those and all others—(Cheers).-- Sir R. COLBORNE thought, that as regarded the set dement of the Catholic claims, it it were well when it was done, perhaps it would be well if '-were done quickly ; but if present discussion would militate against u:tirnate success, all friends to the measure were justified in postponing Lord NUGENT said he had felt it to be his duty to support the Administration when he saw that a faction WAS endeavouring to force itself upon the King. on the principle of exclusion of the Catholic Claims. He and those around film were asked what was the bond of union between them and the Administration. He con- sidered the persons who put such questions to be the bond of union that drove him and his friends to sup port the Administration. The Catholic Claims and the Test Acts repeal should have, however, his support, whatever might be the course of the administration. Mr. MABERLY said, having taken a prominent part in the financial measures of the country, he must ex plain why, and on what terms, he gave his support to the present Administration. He had at different pe riods brought tinder the consideration of the House the repeal of the Dead Weight—the repeal of the Sinking Fund—and the propriety of appointing a Committee to inquire into the financial state of the country. Not-. withstanding, then, that he gave his support to Govern ment, he should still stand up manfully in his place, and endeavour to carry these points. He would not ask the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) any questions ; but he would take the liberty of urging him to allow the appointment of a Commit tee, such as he had referred to, in the early part of next Session. If be thought this course would be pursued, he would suspend quarrelling with the Estimates this Oen- Etc nag's' his determination kb ns, thus incident ill him proper to say a to which the H. n. adverted, before they _.. Shipping Interest) re . 4ttla ly appointed for the night, and which had again been intertopted, in order that the House might so far be aware of the intentions of Government. The i subject was one on which the public would be glad to receive an answer; and he therefore now stated, that ittertainly was his intention, tally in the neat Session, to propose the appointment of a Committee of this House, to whom tire consideration of the state of the .finances should he referred—.a Committee vim lar to tip which had been appointed fur the same object three times by Mr, Pitt; and once in Iso7, by Mr. Pe.ceval; nod once in 1817, by Lotd B:xley. To that Committee the revision of the state of the finances would be sub mitted; and he ought not to forget to mention, that it had been the intention of his Noble Friend (Lord Code rich) to bring forward such a proposition this year, bad it not been fot the remat kAble events which had lately occurred. At the same time, he had to express his confidence that the state of the finances was under foing a gradual, slow, bat perceptible amendment; and to whatever determination the House might come on this subject, after having it fully investigated by their Committee, he thought the interests of the public would be best consulted by passing over the mat ter for this year 'as quietly as possible; and by abstaining from resorting to' any extraordinary mea sures, or any thing that might occasion much agi tation and spechlation. He had only farther to say, that he would on Friday next move the Supplies in the Committee of Supply for that day ; and that, if no particular reason to the contrary intet vene, he would :tibias to the House the' Financial Statement, before Whitsuntide. When the Supplies should be actually moved, then would be the time for those who.e loyalty to the King and zeal for the public service had induced theni to propose the stopping of the Supplies, to bring forward that proposition—(hear, heat) ; and not when the only motion before the House was, that the question of the Supplies should be postponed. He hoped that without further delay, the II tune woald now proceed to the question for the night; and not keep so many people waiting without, in that state of anxiety which, under the circumstances, they must at this time naturally experience. Lord MILTON hoped that he might still be permit and to say a few words, the design of which was to ex ptess his gratefdl sati sfaction at the intention of the Right Hon. Gentleman to refer the state of the finances he the cointry to a Committee of that House. This Was a measure which was now imperiously demanded ; aid unless the Right Hon. Gentleman could, with the aid of that Committee, find means to make the revenue commensurate with the expenditure, or the expenditure With the revenue, the c damities of the country, instead of being relieved, would be greatly aggravated. His Noble Friend - near him (Lord Althorp) Mid exactly ex pressed his sentiments with regard to the present Go- vernment, and in what his Noble Friend had said he filly concurred. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN had no hesitation in shying that it was his wish to support the present Go vernment, and hoped that their measures word be such as to en .ble him conscienti o usly to suppor them. This much he thought it desirable for him to state,lkeing Oise of the representatives of the capital of the kingdom. Sir H. HARDING.E did not understand the toys teiinus add shuffling manner in which the Catholic Question was attempted to be smothered.—The Peti tion was thin ordered to be printed.

Upon the Order of the Day for the further conside ration of the Report on the Larceny Laws Consolida tion Bill, Mr. PEEL said, that on a former evening he consent ed to postpone the Bills relating to the Criminal Laws which stood for this day, in order to give the Gallant General an opportunity of bringing forward his motion on the Shipping interest. He had informed hit Right Honourable Friend who had succeeded him in the office he bad lately the honour to hold, that. he was ready. to take any course in reference to those measures most con sistent with his wishes; either to undertake their manage ment through their two remaining stages, or to give him any assistance in his power—(Hear, hear). As be had occupied several months in consulting with legal Gtntle men as to the construction of the clause, his Right Hon. Friend wished him to catty the Bills t hrough their re maining staget—(hear)—which he should do with the greatest pleasure. And at any future time, if his Right Hon. Friend continued to bring forward measures for reforming andlessening the severity of the criminal law, he should be ready to give the same devotion to that ob ject which it had received at his hands while in office. 11 any one thing gave him more p!easure than another respecting these Bills, it was that a Noble and Learned F. lend of his, in whose elevation to the Peerage—he meant the Lord Chief Justice.---(hear)—he so cordially .rejoiced, had undertaken their management if sent to the other House. The Orders were then postponed to Monday, the el st. SHIPPING INTER'S?. General GASCOYNE, pursuant to notice, rose to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the present state of the British Ship-owners. A more impottant subject there could not be, even its these feverish times; and though personally he would not claim their deepest attention, yet he ventured to claim it on account of the importance of the subject to the whole nation. He com plimented the President of the Board of Trade on the high estimation in which he was held by all classes for his great mercantile and statistical knowledge. But although the complaints of distress were from every port in the kingdom, yet the sentiments of the Right Hon. Gentleman were so well known to be in unison with the cause of that distress, that it would be difficult for him to separate, in what he had to say, that which related to the subject from that which refereed to the opinions of the Right Honourable Gentleman. He congratulated himself on having given notice of this motion so many weeks ago, that his bringing it forward could in no way be attributed to political hostility, and he disowned any feelings of a per sonal nature. The subject involved the question of how far it was expedient to depart from the policy of our ancestors as it had been handed down from gene ration to generation, and to adopt maxims which were altogether contrary to it. At the time England began to e s tablish her system of navigation laws, she was only on it pal with all the othti nations, bei ng as poor at the least civilised of them in general resources, yet t h e Government of those times thought it proper to en cc prohibitory laws. But when; under circum-tances wholly different, with a heavy debt, which affected all the articles of life, and made open competition %id, leer burdened Conan ies actually impossible, it was plop lte d to repeal those laws; this was, indeed, a subject f oe dull viiii...,out any ,o( to inquire intd. The extent of this diiress could n ot I be denied, though the Right Hon. GentleMan-rnight I object to the cause' assigned for it. Not onl y h ad it been represented by Petitions to Parliament, bat the Board of Trade had been petitioned, and the Ri g h t p b p u in il g din a l lre; Hon. Gentleman had been assailed by particular appi t . cations without number.

When this question came on at a past period, the views of the Hon Geode. man had been sre,tly supported by the Geotlerocn ,itting on the opposition side of the House ; on: of tit - had called his Hos. Friends his Majesty's opp os i i i,„ . and with the additional force s hich had rscently joined them, they might now be called " Tne King's Own.' From that circomers"-.e, complaints had s tare d, the - - . Ay s, tamed any inquiry, as , complainants were scarcely treaty y ege horn the B r i t i s h vice. with Pru ss i s , t h e R on. and represented.

Gallantln remember lead fereeceto the d a Consul in Prussia, objecting to the impc t of a duty, not laid upon goods, but an a More hostile shape, os British shipping. The consequence was, that Arpe a h came from ail quafters to the Board of Trade au.' the House of Commons. A Committee was granted, ands very able report drawn up. The cosine taken upon that report by his Might Hon. colleague was mo.t extraor dinary. The use made of the report war not at justifiable. The shipping owners never ceased to advise bin, and to point out the rbinous consequent., which must follow. The Right Hon. Gentlem ,n sail pe st . vered, and in the speech which he addres.e.l to •• House, he stated, that having made those very comes. lima to America, he could not withhold them Iron ,' Piessian Government. In reasoning upon the report, the Right Hon. Gentleman had avowed things as beat contained in that report. no syllable of which was be found in it: nothing which tended to justify thei ciprocity act, much kss to make it permanent, mild be found there. He adittittOd that a ieri,ion of .' shipping laws were necessary, bet it was a little , much to confer benefit on other nations at the elm of this. By the alteration which had been made it these laws, no less than 5,000 ships bad been admittal to the privileges of the British trade. In the year : America had 99,94 L tons of shipping employed the trade with Great Mimic, and Ireland, and country had 45,140 tons employed in the trade with America ; but by a recent statement it appeared that in the last ten years America had roubled amount of hers, while Great Britain had diminished thirty-seven thousand eight hundred. He would ad( this advantage should be yielded to America? He ready to prove that by these treaties England to encounter competition with other nations, wl , - build at 81. per lon, while it cost this country ton. He was Deady to adwat, that as 281 per was only the price in London, it was sot consider it as the general - price. He would therefof take the price at the pc rt., and then the difference' tween our prices and Oka of the northern nu, would be the difference between 81. and 181. 11 t matter were referred to a Committee, he %mild pledge his honour that he would prove this fact. The c.:mp rative prices of building in England and foreig 'tries, taken from the papers before the Heu,e, follow London, the - price was 281. a r, n that he conceived to be fa most extravagant charge, and he took the prices in England, therefore at IP' a ton. In Prussia, it was 81. Bs. in France, _ in Sweden, 61. 'Ss. in Holland 101. in Deanna, 91. 10s. in Russia, 41. 1.55. The wages in countries amounted only to half as much as in Eve Reckoning according to the returned prices, a Prusin vessel mig htbe _ navigated for four voyages at about3S 9 '. while an English vessel of the same tonnage, and carry ing the same number of men, would cost about'' Had the English shipowners any advantage on side to set against all these? Certainly not. It I indeed, been said that they had an advantage in s. insurance, but that was not-the case. It must be mot. lected, that when a foreign ship cost only half as as an English one, the foreigner had to ensure for halt as much as the English owner. • catiacals signed by the principal brokers in London, had ben presented to that House, and it declared that the Bririi vessels possessed no facilities in this respect which ant enjoyed in an equal degree by the foreign. s well known fact, that foreign ships made as voyages as the British, and with equal safety; and great an improvement had taken place in navigation' the northern countries, that it was by no means unto& mon for the owners of vessels in those countries tor into a bond to perform a voyage in a certain time,. and weather permitting. The vessels of the north" countries, therefore, possessed the same advan ta g es ' the British ships, hile the expense of building latter was enormous. He was informed that, at t very time, where there was one British ship entered Liverpool there were ten foreign ships. The returns which had been laid upon the table would show ' superiprity of the numbers of foreign ships entered' that of the. British, and the exports had been nishing for some time past, an d were still nishing. From Prussia the imports, in the 1824, amounted to 504,1401..2nd the exports smog; ed to 634.0741.—the neat year the imports arnonatre to 620,2871. and the exports were only 468,4 651 ' The exports to the northern countries did not ammo' more titan one million, and the House would In suppose t o dpiovsisdi u bl a e ls t , h w at it w ho e u w t er in e ci p u a d y in ing s 50 37 .0001 40 01 i the Trinity House making in all a sum of 73,0Ilot annum.

In the year when these treaties were in full force, the English sels wet; only superior to the Prussians by 4,000 tots. and in the year 1826, the relative amount was SS, tons of foreign vessels, anti 64,000 British.
