IVRLIJMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. • HOUSE Qi' LORDS, FEBRUARY 19, U 3 die Committee of Privileges on the Stafford Peerage, some documents were read In evidence, and the further proceeding was deferred till fuesiay neat. The• Insolvent Dt btosse Amendment Bill was read a second time, and committed for Monday. The Lords' Act Amendment Bill, a Local and a Private Bill were brought up from the Commons by Lord G. L. Gower, and othee Members, and wad a bust time. The Irish Naval Stores EmbLzzlentent Bill wu read a third thatc, and passed. I,OIID The Earl of LIVERPOOL presented a message from the Prince Regent, staling, that his Royal Highness•in consideration of the eminent services of Lord Viscount Wellington, had been pleased to con ft:r on him, and the heirs male of his body, the dig nity of an Earl, by The name, stile and title of Earl of Wellington ; and that his Royal Highness was desirous that an annuity of £2OOO should be granted to the said Earl of Wellington, in addition to the annuity before granted to him. - On the motion of the Earl of LIVERPOOL, his Royal I Highness's Message was ordered to he taken into consideration on 'Thursday, and the Lords to be summoned. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day). HOUSE OF COMMONS. The Sheriff. of the City of London presented a Petition against the Hill for making a Navigable Canal front Paddington to Liam hou.e.—lt was laid on the table. . . . Mr. P. MOORE brought up a Petition from ninety-eight in habitants of Kett, against a Bill for snaking a Canal in theWeald of that county, denying their assent, which the promoters of the mill declared they had obtained. it was laid upon the table. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL moved the second reading of the Weald of Kent Canal Bill. and on the question being put, Mr. CARTWRIGHT shortly expressed his opposition, on the ground that not half the money reqtdsiar. for the cotr.ial..tton of the plan had been subscribed for. tie moved that it be :,rl,la gd time on this day six months. Mr. CALCRAFT supported the Bill, and observed, that al though the subscription was at present inedequaae, there were mai.y most respectable gentlemen in the county willing to make up the deficiency. It was a measure of great agricultural impor tance, since land that produced only from 10 to sOs. per acre would let for twice the sum, after this scheme was executed, on account of the increased facility of obtaning manure. At least one thousand most opulent and respectable person* were in fa vour, and only 135 against the Bill; the effect of the Canal won:a also be the improvement of the roads of the Weald of Kent, now generally impassable. He only entreated that the Bill sliould go to a Committee. . Sir EDW. KNATCHBULL favoured the second reading, but would nut pledge himself for any further support. Mr. C. ADAMS supported the second reading, as no attempt had been made to overturn the strong foundation on which toe MI re►ted. After a few rtimarks from Mr. P. Mooaa and Mr. Lc , itttim - TON, a division took place. The numbers tor the second reading were 79, against it 69.

A few words passed between Mr PraczvAt and Mr. Hoa- Yea, in which Mr. Peaccvm. stated that the bill was at pre sent intended only fora temporary measure. The House then went into a Committee, for the purpose *1 merely Idling up the blanks of the Bill. PARISI! A PPRIENTICES. Sir S. ROMILLY moved, that a Committee be appointed to 'inquire into and to state the accounts relative w Parish Appren tic:s within the bills of mortality.— The motion was not opposed. and the Committee was appointed. MESSAGE FROM TIIE PRINCE REGENT. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up the following Message from the Prince Regent, which WAi read by the Speaker : " GEORGI P. RT. " The Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, having taken into his royal consideration the eminent and s:gual services performed by General Lord ViscountWel lingtrn, in the course of a long series of di s tinguished exploits in the campaigns in Spain and Portugal, at:d bring desirous to mark the sense he entortains of serricos so honourable to the British Army, and to eminently beneficial to the interests of the Nation, has conferred, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, upon General Lord Viscount Wellington, and the heirs male of his body, the rank and dignity of an Earl of the United Kingdom, by the title of Earl of Wellington. The Prince Regent, further desirous of granting to the Earl of Wel lington a net annuity of two thousand pounds, in addition to the annuity already granted by Parliament, and subject to the same limitations imposed in that grant, recommends to the House of Commons to enabl-.. his Royal Highness, in the name and on the behalf of his Maiesty, to grant and settle such annuity and to make such further provision aforesaid, as may be thought most effectual Air the benefit of General the Earl of Wellington and his family." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved, that this Message be referred to a Committee of the whole House.—Orderei. He then moved, that the House on Friday next should resolve itself into a Committee for this pur- pose.—Ordered. COMMERCIAL LICENSES. Mr. ALEXANDER ialN - 6 - rose to move for the production of certain papers on the License Trade. He observed, that however satisfactory it might be to the Noble . Lord at the Board of Trade to regulate the commerce of the country, yet he was convinced that there was hardly a man connected with business who would defend the system of licenses as now car ried on. The commerce of the country was not now left to the good sense and activity of individual mer chants ; but the Lords of Trade prescribed not only the destinations, but the quantity and amount of the articles of cargo, matters of which the . ) , could have a very imperfect knowledge. Thus individuals were not only liable to be injured, but an influence was given to the Crown by the system of licenses unpre cedented in its nature and extent. The whole of the subject Would soon, however, be brought under the consideration of the House, and he trusted they would pause before they gave it a continuance of their sanc tion. His object at present was only to move for some papers illustrative of the effects of the licerce system. The first of these was a memorial from the merchants of Heligoland to the Privy Council, set ting forth the injur es which they hid sustained from the nature of the licenses whicti were granted them. There had been a similar memorial from the mer ch,ants at Ma t 4, but he should confine his motion to the former. The other paper that he wanted was, a return of the spirits imported under licence from Holland since October last i togt titer with copies of the licenep. The Board of Trade bad uniformly vefaseA _ _ce nt% to import spirits from Holland, and yet so it was, that two cargoes were imported lately, each of which h ad b een provided with a licence. The explanation Rive n at the Board of Ti-ade was, that the word “ spirits'. had crept into the licences by an error of a clerk ; but this was a sort of error by which 10 or R 15,000 might be put into the pockets of individual % and therefore required some explanation. The Hones r , ahle Member concluded with moving for the memo. rial of the merchants of Heligoland. Mr. ROSE said, that the honourable Gentle man could not be more anxious than he was, that th e whole of the license system should be br.ught bef ore the . House in a tangibh... shape. He co u ld not, hoe, ever, consent to his motion, as the produ ct i on of the to thtea Me,. t he paper might cause grcar r inconvenience chants at Heligoland, by giving publi c i t y to the va. rious facts and statements which it con ta i ne d , He had no objection to the production of the secondpap iN and could state that the whole circu.nstance to which it referred, arose from the inadvertence of t h e c l erk who drew up the licences, inserting the word e spiri t ,,, by mistake ; and it was not wonderful that wh ere tee thousand licences had been granted, such an e rror might have crept in for once. Mr, BARING observed, in explanation, h did not mean to charge the Board with gross p ar . tiality, but rather to spew the flagrant abuses which might be practised under the licence sys.em. A sa , merchant, he must say, that had the licences fe e r h e importation of these spirits come into his ha n d s , b e . could have made by them at least 10 or JC15,000, Mr. MARRY Arr was perfectly ready to de c l are , that as far as his knowledge or information extended, the Board of Trade had acted with perfect impar. tiality in the granting cf licences. At the same oral he mast say, that the forgery, the bribery, a ri d th e perjury, which the whole system had produced, w ere quite disgusting ; while the facility with which h. ceases had been granted, had exposed the proper t y of British merchants ta those dreadful confiicanoc s in the Baltic, which had utterly ruined so many i ; . dividuals. 1 till .w.I /WS - 1 11 1011 00 0 ° Mr. BROUGHAM wished to give notice, than this day fortnight he would bring forward his mot* en the general subject of Licences. At the m e time he wished to e4l Ore attenti n of the House to the I,ict nnw .t.ited . by one of the first merchmaid 'his cou-itry (Mr. Baring), that und.,r the Emu. svretn, as connected with the Orden in Ceoac:l, .ht Crown was possessed of the power of issuing a 1 .,. ce of paper, ad lib,iisrma, for which, in the c,,uree of businesi, it would be worth any merchant's id& is pay 10:or £15,000 t • The CHANCELLOR of 4he EXCHEQUER, contended, that there was nothing so very new cc extraordinary in the system, as the lion. Gentlem aa wished to hold our. Whether this country IVIS at wes t with anoth r, with which, at the same time, it vas found expedient to carry on some trade, there was no way r f ci nducting that trade but through the medium c:of licences : and now, when we were at irst with the greater part of Europe, it was quite esidees that the licence sy.tem must be proportionally es. tended, if the benefits of the Continental trade wen at all to be afforded to Britjsh merchants, and not wholly resigned to Neutrals. No one instance, be believed, had occurred of licences being granted where trade could be carried on without them; and sure he was, that they never had been granted by the Board, from partial or sinister motives. The Motion for the-Memorial was then put, sad negatived ; and that for the Spirit Importatioali• cences,accede4 to. Mr. AROUGHAM moved for copies of Memorials regret• ing licence , ; for the number of licences granted by Officers cm. mending in the islands of the Channel; for the number of form seamen who bad entered into our service for the last ten yrst• and the number of vessels which bad entered and doge! • from all the ports of this island in that time; and he gave that he would move for an Account of all the trade • a the irhi *dr Wit whi Per exp der granted dur.ng that period. FRAME-BREAKERS' MU» The order of the day being read, to take this 818 into consideration, and the question having been put that the Speaker do leave the chair, Mr. LAMBE said, lie should give the Bill hi support. The great cause of the disturbancet considered the decay of trade. The measures or th- Emperor of France were evidently their main causes and it was nothirg less than wilfully deluding country to hold out a hope that greater commerci embarrassments, greater severity of distress, than t country had hitherto felt, were not yet to be cad - When crimes became difficult of detection, the r sary and only resource was severity of pun6hment.
