Smith, and the further proceedings were post poned till Friday. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN moved for a Return of the quantity of Wine imported into, and exported from this couptry, from the year 1795 to 1820, distinguishing the quantities im ported and exported in each year.—Ordered. The .\lanches• o r Gas Light Bill, and several other Bills, were brought up from the House of Commons, and read a first time. On the motion of 'Lord hist.vitzt, the Scotch Court of Ad miralty Bill, and the Scotch Court of Session Bill, were com mitted, and ordered to be reported to-rpotrow.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A person from the Custom-House presented Papers pursuant to orders of the Ilouse.—laid on the to►le. 141 r :. BRIGHT presented a Petition from the Bankers . of the City of Briatol, praying for a Repeal in the Usury Laws. —The Petition waa read, ordered to Ile on the table, and to be printed. Sir J. MACKINTOSH postponed the second reading of his three Bills, to amend the Criminal Laws, which stood for to day, till ternorrow. Mr. BENNET begged it to be undestood, that the question which he wished to bring forward, namely, whether the House should be free from placemen and pensioners? and which stood for to-morrow., would be considered on the 31st instant. WOOL TRADE. Mr. WM. SMITH held in his hand a Petition from the Merchants ' Manufacturers, and others, concerned in the Wool Trade of Norwich, praying for the Repeal of the Duty on Foreign Woul.—The Petition was read, ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. NIWINGTON SELECT VESTRY RILL. Mr. 11. SuatNER being called upon in his turn by Mr. SPEAKER, wa, ruing to addres, the House, when Sir ROS6R I* WILSON and Mr. DENISON rose at the same time. They stated that they had Petition, to presen► to the House, on the subject upon which the Honourable Member for Surrey was about to address them, and as it would be more proper that these Petitions should precede the Honourable Mem ber's Motiota, than come after it, they hoped he would have no objection to give them precedence for this time—( Laughter ). Mr. H. SUMNER laid he would state the reasons why he could not accede to the request— Sir ROBERT WILSON hinted. that the delay could not be long, and was about to proceed with his Petition ; bt:t The SPEAKER interfered, and said, that having each day a paper put into his hand, with the names of such Member's as had Motions to make to the House, he had ne part left him but to call these Members in their turn as they stood upon the paper. The House would see that he should do a great in• justice by putting any Member's name out of its place. and he was of opinion, therefore, that the Hon. Member i.-r Surrey had the right of proceeding with his Motion, as he had caught his eye before the gal lant Officer rose to offer his Petition—(Hear, hear). Mr. H. SUMNER then proceeded. He said,. that possibly his Honourable Friends would not think Pe; titions necessary, when they were acquainted with the nature of his %lotion. These Petitions might be pre seined at another time. The Hon. Member then stated, that this was the third time he had addressed the House on the subject of the Newington Select Vestry Bill. The House had suffered that 'Bill o. be read a first and second time , and referred it to a Committee. The Committe e was afterwards dissolved, as it was understood the Standing Orders of the House had not been complied with. A Select Committee was then appointed, which sat, but no progress was made in the business of the Bill. He now wished that this last Committee should be also dissolved by the House. It ws a standing rule, that when the Orders of the House were disobeyed twice, the House did invari ably dissolve the second Committee; but though he called for the dissolution Of the last Committee, yet he was far from wishing that the Bill should not be inquired into. Ile was not sure that the House would go into a Committee of the whole House on a private Bill, and he would theiefoie suggest the appointment of another Select Committee—(Hear, hear). He also wished that that Committee should be composed of Gentlemen who had no local attachments, and who were totally unconnected with the promoters or op 'posers of this Bill--(llear, hear). Mt therefore moved, that the Conimittee on the Newington Select Vestry Bill should be forthwith dischared. Mr. DENISON rose.—[The SPEAKER Do you second the Motion ?"3—(Losighter). Mr. DENISON—. , I rise - to oppose it with all my force"—(A laugh). He then entered into a defence of the mode of holding Parish Vestries for Newington, which, he contended, was quite orderly and regular. He read extracts from the parish books, by which it appeared, that for the last seven years, no more than seven or eight persons 'attended the . Vestries on ordi nary occasions, but that at one time there were three hundred present when the question was for building a Church. Indeed, 1,000 persons, assembled to dis cuss this Bill, and out of that large mass there were only thirty hands for it-,(Hear). Not only the pa , pulation, but the wealth of the parish were against this Bill. He charged that the delays' in the Com mittee were occasioned by the Chairman himself, or by those who were the promoters of this Bill (Hear); The Honourable Member (Mr. H. SuMner) had made observations upon the conduct of the Committee. H. (Mr. Denison) was aware that he would be drawing hasty inferences from the conduct of Members in that Committee, which would not, perhaps, be favourable to their parliamentary character. But the . Honour able Member might rail on ; he might say what he would of that Committee. He (Mr. Denison) was not unprepared for those attacks; he avowed he had taken an active part in the Committee against the Bill ; and he would even take all the lionourable Member's taunts upon himself. He mad stand forth alone, and say— tose * *4 Hic adsunt qui foci, in me cannertilefirrune. He concluded by opposing the motion. (The debate was here interrupted by the Clerk's appearance at the Bar with the list of the Committee on the City of Limerick Election. In these cases, all • other business must stand completell.) The reduced Sir Laurence V. Palk, Bart. I Sir C. Cole. Nicholas Colborne,.N. Sir Philip Musgrave. Dr. Phillimore. still till the Committee is list consisted of— Penrslik, Esq. C Duncombe, Esq. Lord Walpole. Sandford Graham, Esq. Abel Smith, IRsq. atid George Lucy, Esq. Charles Champlin, Esq. Thomas P. hlacqueen, Esq. I - •These were then ordered to withdraw and chase. nianinees. After a considerable time they returned.' and reported that they had chosen. W. 8. BOURNE, I El. and N. CA LVERT, Esq. Theywere then sworn. The debate on the Newington Bill was temmed. Mr. BYNG opposed the motion fur a new Select' Committee. . Mr. TULK was oh the Committee, and he said there appeared no disposition in the opposers of the Bill to go on with the hilliness. He thought the same Committee would never agree in any proposi tion, for the only thing in-which they seemed unani •mous was that of adjourning the Committee. Mr. Alderman WOOD spoke against the dissolu tion of the Committee, and charged the promoters of the Bill with all the delay which had takenplace.' Sir F. 13URDETT moved the adjournment of the discussion to Friday. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY opposed an adjournment to Friday, for the Committee of Sup ply was to come on that day. He proposed to morrow—po, no). ' Mr. H. SUMNER opposed the adjournment, and was proceeding to make some obervations, when he was interrupted by loud cries of "Order. After 'the lapse of a few minutes the Hon. Gentleman re sumed, and complained of the interruption he had experienced. He also complained that in the Com mittee the Gentlemen opposed to the Bill had re sorted to every device to defeat its object, by sug gesting various motions to prevent its progress. .'lf . that conduct were to be tolerated, it would be im possible for any Honourable Gentleman to carry any private Bill up stairs. During the time that he had enjoyed the honour of a seat in that House, he had introduced more private Bills than any other Hon. Member, and never before had been treated in the same manner. All his motions hitherto on this sub ject had been met by motions for adjournment ; he would therefore press his motion Mr. MABERLY said, the Hon. Gentleman had himself been the great cause of delay. He, as Chair man, ought to have sat silent in most cases, instead of which he had generally been the chief debater on ever y question. Mr. -Serjeant ONSLOW denied that the delay rested on his side; indeed it was improbable that the promoters of the Bill should cause delay. Sir VV. DE CR ES PIG NY was proceeding to charge the Chairman with partiality, when he was loudly called to order. • The SPEAKER said, he was 'satisfied the Hon. Member would see that the course of argument he was pursuing was not only irregular, but inconsistent with the dignity of the House. • Mr. BENNETT, although not a Member of the Committee, and therefore free from that censure which the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sumner) had dis tributed so liberally upon his (Mr. Bennett's) Hon. Friend, because they had differed from, or ventured to oppose him, still he would venture to express his disapprobation of the measure in the most unquali fied terms. It came to this ; if any County Member had any job to carry (Load cries of "Order"). The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was extremely sorry to interrupt the Hon. Gentleman in proceeding With his job—(A laugh),—but really if this kind of conversati, n went on, it would completely put a stop to the public busine,.s. Mr. BENNETT would, notwithstanding the ob- jections to it, persist in using the offensive word job, and no other. This was a job which had been dis cussed by the most numerous Committee of that House which any Hon. Gentleman could recollect. He complained that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Sum ner) had made it a mere party question from his at tachment to it, merely because it was a job. Without entering into the question at large, he would say he never heard of a more extraordinary motion than the present, which went to take out of the hands of the Committee of that House a private Bill ; .and place it in whose hands? he would ask—why, in those , of the founder of the job himself. He now asked for a majority to pack a Committee to carry on the job—(A laugh).—The motion had one advantage at least—novelty ; but the reason of the Hon. Gentle man for his motion was obvious—it was not always found so easy to secure a majority in a Committee above stairs as below. Were the Hon. Gentleman's motion agreed to; any person wishing to carry a motion would have only to engage in his interest a 'County Member who was in the habit of voting with Ministers, through whom he would effect his purpose. He disclaimed all intention of using any word likely to wound the morbid sensibility of the House, but he would say, that if the Members of this House took upon themselves to name Committees to carry private Bills, it would be placing all the private business of the country in the hands of the majority of that House—(Hear). - Mr. SOMERS COCKS rose with astonishment at the language of the Hon. Member. He, for one, had gone to the Committee day after day, with his mind perfectly unbiassed, and he found uniformly that everything propoied by the Gentlemen at one side was never allowed by them to be replied to. He would support his Hon. Friend's motion. Mr. PRICE opposed the adjournment; it was pro- , posed only foi the purpose of delay, and, if possible, to get rid of the Bill by that means. Mr. H. SUMNER said,' Gentlemen had accused him of causing delay ; he denied the charge; the delay originated on the other side. Mr. CREEVEY said, the course proposed by the Member for Surrey was a new•course; and whoever might be the cause of it, he hoped the question would not be pressed without due consideration ; and there- E 1- -E. fore that an adjourn?nent of the question would now take place. Sir J. GRAHAM had attended the Committee; his great object had been to make the Bill as palatable as possible to the Parishioners. He defended the con duct of the Chairman of the Committee, who had only interposed on points of order. He thought the discussion on the question should be deferred until to-morrow. 4110' Dr. LUSHINGTON said that this matter could not be discussed toluoirow, for the debate on the Criminal Laws could no:. be longer postponed, after the 'numerous delays on the subject. He ..muld divide the House on it. Sir J. GRA FIAM could not see any reason why the debate on the Manchester business should be so very long. After some obsef vations from Mr. MANSFIELD, Mr. R. Sums, and others, the [louse divided. For the Amendment - - kagnst It - • Majority for the adjournment to Friday - -7 IRISH WINDOW TAX. Mr. ROBERT SHAW was perfectly aware of the disadvantage under which he laboured in bringing before the House the repeal of the Irish Window Tax, in the absence of so many of the Irish Members ; but he did so at the express wishes of his constituents.— The Hon. Gentleman here read extracts from the speech of Mr. Pitt, at the period when the Window Tax was imposed; and fioni the Act of 524 G. .o to prove that it had always been intended, and con sidered to be, only a War T a x. The Hon. Gentle man asserted, that the city of Dublin was more dis tressed at the present moment than any other part of the Empire ; and entered into a statement, shewing its progressive and rapid decay. In 1814, there were in that city 16,158 houses assessed. There were de clared insolvent, and unable to pay the Assessed Taxes, in 1816. 1072 houses; in 1817, 1588; in 1818, 2397; in 1819, 3206 ; in 1820, 3989; in 1821, 4700. The amount of insulvencies would, therefore, be found to exceed 4000. He would, under these distressing circumstances, call upon the Right Hon. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) to say, could these things possibly go on ? The Hon. Gen tleman here entered into a statement, .to prove the progressive failing off in that branch of the Revenue; and concluded by moving, that a Select Committee should be appointed to consider the expediency of re pealing so much of the Act of 56th Geo. 111. as re lates to the Tax on Windows in Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought, that at this period of the session, and in justice to the other parts of the kingdom, this Tax could not be now abolished. He would accede to any proposition which could be received with a fair view of relieving the people of Ireland; but not at that late period of the Sittings, wheel they could not expect the Committee to get through its labours, and when they might be raising the expectations of the people in a way that could never be realized • SirJ. NEWPORT admitted that nothing was more dangerous than raking the hopes of the people; but he must say, that Taxes had been kept up uselessly : and even then, they were i.:600,0.00 a-year worse than if they had reduced some of these Taxes. Mr. HUME supported the Committee, as being necessary to ascertain the cause of the decrease of the 'products of the Taxes. The Session would not be up yet for a month or six weeks; and in that time, much valuable information might be obtained. General HART thought that Dublin required some attention, on account of thiremoval of its Parliament. Sir. W. DE CRESPIGNY said, he intended, next Session, to bring some of there subjects before the House, as connected with Er.gland. He had a letter from a person in the country, which stated, that an Assessor had charged a window in a certain little place, though there was no glass. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, he was satisfied that this was a notice of a motion, rather than of an intention of bringing it belbre the House in the present Session. It could be much better dis cussed in another Session of Parliament. Mr. MONCK thought that the City of Dublin la boured under peculiar and local difficulties, which re quired relief from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. SHAW withdrew his motion till next Session. lONIAN ISLES. •Mr. HUME wished to ask a question of the Ho neurable Gentleman opposite. Two persons, natives of the lonian Isles, had been arrested for signing an Address, which was intended to be sent to this coun try, and thrown into prison. They had escaped, and proceeded to England with the Address, and bad sent a Petition to the Colonial Department.. He wished to know whether that (Petition "had been re- • ceived ? He wished also to know, whether by the Alien Act, as it now stood, persons coming from the lonian Isles, being natives, would be consijered as aliens in this country, and were liable as such to be sent out of the country ? Mr. GOULBURN said, that the Petition alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman was received. With re spect to the question, whether an lonian Islander was an alien or not in this country, he confessed he was not lawyer enough to answer it, and could give no opinion upon the subject. Mr. HUME expressed his hope that the Hon. Gen tleman would ascertain that point. THE MANCHESTER MEETING. The Order of the Day tor resuming the debate on the Manchester Meeting having been read, Sir ROBERT WILSON rose, and said that it well became the Honourable and Learned Gentleman (the Solicitor-General) who spoke last on this subject from the other Side, to•defend the conduct of the Manches ter Magistrates, as well as of the Minister, who sup ported it. But notwithstanding the talents ,shish he displayed, yet -he (Sir Robert Wilson) thougl4 that Honourable and Learned Gentleman did not succeed in his object. The Solicitor-General had observed, that no suspicion could be cast by the opposite side of the House on the Jeci,ka of the Grand Jury. ut
