On the third reading of the Election Bill, a con. ae;:nation took place. in which M:. CALCRAFI' stated some objections. He was not acquainted with the practice in some places of paying non-resident voters for coming to qualify or st) vote: but he objected to any anode that would occasion diaranchisement. He also disliked the coin:- promising of County Elections. Mr. BROUGHAM Made his protest against pass ing the Bill. He wished for farther delay in filling Up the blanks, and moved that the Bill with the Amendments he printed.—The Hou s e divided: • Noes, 60 I Ayes. 2 I Majority. 58. On the reopening of the Gallery, Mt. CALCRAFT was moving an Amendment, that after the words " such election," the words " excepting persons in the army, navy, or militia," be insetted. This sac tmlittstood to apply to a clause respecting the quali fying of electors during a polL—The House divided, Ayes, 551 Noes. 23 1 Majority, 32. • The House then divided on the Motion that the Bill do pau - . .Ayes, 52 I Noes, 19 I Majority for the BiU, 33. roOrt LAWS. Mr. STTJRGES BOURNE, on bringing up the Jtepott of the Committee oa the Poor Laws, said, thAt if by any aheratiqn on the system of the Poor I,aw* arty-relief could have been given to the press. lug wants that were so generally felt, the Committee - would not have been wanting in proposing alterations; but that, finding that it was not an alteration, but a total change that was required, they delayed making any Report to the House till they could lay before them the character, effect, and tendency of the whole system—(Near, hear).. The delay did not proceed from any tardiness ou the part of the Committee, but limn the nature of the subject, and the very great in convenience that would have arisen from making any partial Report tilt the whole subject was investigated. He begged to illustrate this by instancing the Law or Set *waxen*. Upon that point they were prepamed to recommend an alteration before the Easter recess. In the month of June again they would recommend a total abrogation. If, then, they had in the month of March recommended an alteration of the Law of Settlement, which was the most distinct pan of the whore system, in what situation would the Commit tee be again in the month of June, when they saw the propriety of abrogating it altogether ? It should be recollected, too, that this sulvect had engaged the attention of the greatest men from Lord Hale down wards. What the splendid talents of Mr. Pitt, and the' vigorous understanding of Mr. Whitbread, had not been able to effect, it surely could not be expect ed that the Committee could reach fur salmon. The tin e , fee, was an important considesatioa. Although (leers of distress exposed to view the evils of the system, they were the most inconvenient for removing ti;em. It had been said on a former occasion, that nitife or_ould choose the hurricane . months for repair ing his house. The Committee hoped, however, that much good, would be effected by the Report now laid on the Wile—Char, hear). Alter this view of the subject should have been exposed for several uitinths, 'unix eitimate object could be more effectu ally anis-mad. 1: the season should be genial and the Lowest abundant, the country would be better pre parec for such a *measure. Members would have an oppbriunity, in the mean time, of correcting errors, and of confirming such parts of the Report as should Le supported' by the state of the country—(lfeor). Mr. CALCRAFT thought, as he had early in the Session expressed his . surprise at the delay of the Committee, it might be expected that he should now offer some observations. 'fbe conduct of the Com mittee might be right, prudent, and judicious, but it Lid very much disappointed the expectation •of the, country. It any. one thing excited expectation 'more ti.an another, aythe commencement ot the Session, it . •v. As _ the prospect ot alteration of th e root- Laws. He was not ignorant of the difficulties of the subject, nor was he ciisixned to deny that the greatest alien tiOn mid application had been bestowed ; be hoped, ton, that the Resent delay. two fur the best ; yet be did, in common with the country, feel disappointed. Whagthe distrms was unparalleled, it was very nn-. misty expected t that some alleviathai, some relief, or at least some suggestion of relict, should come liom this Committee. . Lord, CASTL.CREAGH, notwithstanding the strong expectations spoken of by the Hunourabln teat mar hoped the House I,a too much good sanse to be disappointed that. an earlier reptat was not unlade, or that no practical measure was rei.orn mended. He conceived it 'would have been turwtao in the Committee to have recommended any prac tical measure till the whole subject was intestigated: The report itself would prove that any such attempt would have•been very nowise. The labour of the Committee, had been extraordinary—in every_week they met three days, and generally their meetings were from day to day. They had carried their in vestigation into every branch connected with the sub ject of their inquiry. It any blame could be imputed to the Committee fur delay, he had his full share in that delay ; for he was unwilling that any commu nication should be made to the House till every dis tinct feature of the subject had been investigated.— The House would never gratify the expectation of the country, till they could produce what the country was prepared to approve, and to think wise and sa lutary—till they could carry the confidence of the country along with them, and introduce a measure whose wisdom and efficacy should gain general con ' fidence. He was persuaded they would be better e 'Ailed to do so after they should have felt the sew tinients of the country. The Committee had in this report recommended no specific measure, because they wished to keep their own minds open. Great 46 was the difficulty of the measure, great as the Committee found it (and they found it much greater investigation than they expected), he did not desptir but Parliament could make some effectual progress towards the mitigating, if not removing al togeths r, the evils that were SO generally complained of in the present system. The labour of the Com mittee, and the result of their labour, called forth its admiration. Mr. HUSKISSON thought it of mach importance that this report should have a more extended circii. Winn than ordinary reports, in order that those who bad experience in administer►ng the poor laws might have an opportunity of perusing it. The result of several months' labour, such as the Noble Lord had described, should not be confined to !slumbers of that House. He, therefore, swished that an addition to the ordinary numb:rs should be in inted. and a copy sent to each clerk of a subtlivisico meeting, for the perusal of the Magistrates. He did trot know that any motion was neceuary on the subject; the addi tional expense would b• very little. The CLIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER though: it was btlitiCielll that there war a general un derstanding in the House to the cffect proposed.— The report was then ordered to be printed. LICIIK&ING PUBLIC HOWL). Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD begged to be in. forayed, whether it was the intention of the lion. Member opposite to press the Bill for regulating the Licensing of Public.housese It was one ut die greatest importance, and, which, he feared, c•iulJ not be con skirted with sufficient care in the present Session. Mr. BENNE rTid _ it certainly WAS his wish to have the measure carded into a law this Session. Mr. 8. worrLEY thought the Bill of too much importance to have it passed At so ISM a period of the Session, and hoped the Honourable Member would postpone it to the neat. Mr. BENNET!' acknowledged that. from the nature °litre opposition *limb had been raised to the bill by brewers, and other persons otit of Yailiament. he feared it could not be passed in the present Ses sion. Such a law appeared to him absolutely neces sary to correct the dreadful system now existing.— The tone and temper of the opposition were, however, such as compelled him reluctantly to postpone the' B II to the next Session ; protesting, at the same time, in the name of tl:e morals of the people of England, again!' the present systcm of regulating public•houses, which went to undermine every principle of morality and virtue. The Report of the Bill was then ordered tote taken into consideration this day three months. CIIAPEL-BUILDING DILL The CH4NCELLOK of the EXCHEQUER (stated, that in consequence of what occurred ou the preceding night, he was willing to postpone this measure to the fleet Session. IRISU GRAND JURY PRESINTAIRNTS. The Order of the Day being read for the third reading of the Irish Grand Jut y Presentment Bill, Sir GEORGE HILL moved, as an amendment, that the Bitl be read the 3d time this day three months. General HART conceived the Bill altogether un necessary. Sir FREDERICK FLOOD expressed his decided hostility to this measure, which went to establish 36 new places in Ireland, to the amount of 010,000 a.year, and to condemn the system under which the business of the country had been so long conducted with advantage. He did riot think it right to take the power lodged in the Grand Juries from the prin cipal Gentlemen of the country, and to place it in the hands of 'several hireling• surveyors, who might come from different places, and be altogether igno. rant of the_ local affairs of the counties over which they were brought to preside. Mr. BUTLER opposed the Bill, which went Iola; a very unnecessary expense on the counties. - Mt. VESEY FITZGERALD defended the Bill, which appeared to him a very economical arrange. ment, as the Lord Lieutenant was enabled.to appoint one surveyor for two counties, cons quently the'ex. pense would not press heavily on either. The gallery was then cleared for a division, when there appeared or the third reading 46—Against'' it B—Majority 38. The Bill was then read the third rime. On the question that the Bill do pass, Sir FRLDERICK FLOOD proposed that a clans/rise adder to the Bill, by way of rides, limiting the appointment of a Surveyor to such cases as, in the opinion of Grand Juries, rendered an txamina don necessary: Sir GEORGE HILL complained, that the Sur veyor appeared to be the only immaculate person re cognised by dig Bill. There was no reset !ration of secutity•or penalty provided by the Bill, in his case, to insure a faithful and honest discharge of his ditty. , Atter a few words *dui Mr. W INDHAM QUIN, the proposArclause was negatived. Sir GEORGE: HILL Objected to the extraordi nary discretion• vested by the Bill in Grand ►urors. They were empowered to iiary the torte of Affidavits in particular cases of 'Presentments--a power which the Legislature ought alone to exeri.ise. Tile Bill was altogether drawn up in a crude undigested man lier, add he iras persuaded its provisions could out be carded into practical operation. • • Mi.

Mr. BUTTERWORTH 'nese lard a Petition from certiin Watchmakers in London, praying fur Leeislative relief. Tne Petition was laid on the Table, ordyed to he printed, and reterred to the Committee on the Watch Tr .de. Mr. BROUGHAM preserted a Petition from st. veral Watch and Cl• ck-Makers in the Cernty of Os turd, complaining - of their beif44. subject. for 'he last font or five years, to the payment lit the Plate I.;- cen‘e, amounting to £4. Is.. which they raid was contrary to the spirit of the Act under which that li cense was collected. This Petition was also ordered to be printed, and referred to the Watch Committee. NAIL. MAKERS. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from the Niil.makers of Stirlingshire, complaining of the numbers thrown out of employment in their tra. 4 e by the use of Mschinery, more especially by a Machine called the Britannia of Birmingham, which they con• ceive most dangcroi.s to their interests. This Petition was laid en the Table. SA LT DI:TIES. _ _ _ Mr. BROUGH ANI presented a Petition from a number of poor distressed Fishermen in the neigh bourhood of Harwich, complaining of the grievances tLey suffered by the operation of the heavy Salt Duties. Mr. W. SMITH hoped that these poor people would derive some knefit from the recent regula tions relative to the Salt Lsws. Nothing short, how- ever. of tut actual repeal would give them the redress for which they sought.—The Petition was laid on the Table. CIUMNEY-SWEEPERs. Mr. HART DAVIS presented a Petition from the Master Chimney-Sweepers of Berstol, praying that the Legislature would not sanction the disuse of Boys, as many chimnies could not be swept wit!iout them. They further spoke of their humanity to apprentices, and, as a proof of the mild treatment they received, stated that several of them lived to be from 50 to 70 years of age. The Petitioners prayed to be heard by Counsel at the Bar of that House against the Chimney-Sweepers' Bill. The Petition was laid on the table. EXTENTS IN AID. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the third ratding of the Extents in Aid Bill. On the question that the Bill do pass, the Honourable and Learned 'Gentleman proposed that a clause be added, by way of rider, empowering any person imprisoned under an Extent of Aid, to apply to the Barons of the Ex- Chequer for his discharge, on satisfying the Court that be had surrendered all his property. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH was glad that at his suggestion this clause was added to the BA several parts of which, however, still required amendment. He hoped that during the recess the operation of the Bill would be attended to, and that the good sense and good feeling of the country, the indignation ex.., pressed at the conduct of those individuals who op pressively exercised the powers vested in them by the law, would prevent any repetition of such conduct in future. P. however, his hopes should be disappoint. ed. he would be one of the foremost to propose some legislative measure to remove the evil: The Com mittee sitting on this subject had not yet reported ; but be hoped they would be enabled to do so before the close of the Session. • Mr. HA RT DAVIS concurred in his Honourable Friend's view of this subject, and was co, vinced that the manner in which these Extents in Aid were acted upon, created a great dm! of immorality thoughout the country. The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill passed. NAN? INDIA SHIP OWNERS' BILL. Sir THOMAS COURTENAY moved the third reading o 1 tlw East India Ship Owners' Bill. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he had radical ob jections to this Bill, which countenanced a deviation from the regular and established practice recognized by the Act of the 39th of the King. That Act had a very beneficial effect—it rendeted it imperative upon the East India Company to procure a certain freight for tonnage of shipping, by exciting a public compe. tition among the Ship Owners, whose bidding' were `ordered to be public with sealed off..rt. A fair re duction of price arose out of this airangenient, and in one year the Company saved £138,0u0 by it, and since•that period there wrre years when perhaps it neatly quadrupled that sum. By this last contract with the Company..the Ship Owners, calculating on the probable fall of the price of stores, &c. at the peace, stipulated for a much smaller sum than they 'would otherwise have taken—it appeared that the event disproved their speculation, the prices did nut go down, their contract became a losing one; and this Bill was brought in to enable the East India Company to give them a large sum to recover this loss. He had a strung objection both to the policy of such a regulation, and also to the manner in which it, was made. He ready disliked vesting a discre tionary power in the hands of the Company fur such a purpose. It would have been, he thought, much better to have fixed a specific sum for each particular I toner, instead of leaving it open in this manner. Mr. CANNING thought, that under aMI the cir sum:tances of this case the Bill was desirable to re lieve the sufferers by the contract from a ruinous loss, The principle acted on was not to grant any relief beyond i€8.:101. per ton ; and not to allow even that, it, combined with the original contract, the total amount per ton would be more than A 26. Here there was a su 'Xing advantage over the Act of Ibo 3, by which no limit was set to the amount of Uncles the ',mum, Act the Ditetmt, obliged. every year, to lay before the flcusF an ac count of what they had dime. in conformity with provisions. Soihat there was a double seettrij First, allo•eances could not be made, beyond A cry. tain amount—and next, the Directors were crar r: ,., led to communicate to the louse w.mt they I. done, with reference to the provision% of this Act.- Ilndoubtetily. tho objections stated by the V T . and Learned Gentlentaat were ep.titled to Brest . sideration—bm lie hoped it wocld hr found, tha t , considering this subject, those to whom it had referred, had done ad its their p.mr to impicvc general siiipping system of the Company.
