A Message from the Commons announced the concurrence of that House to the attendance of Sir H. Parnell as a witne a before the Lords' Committee on Foreign Trade. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition front the Assembly of New Brunswick, praying that no alteration may be made In the Timber Duties. The Poor Settlement, and Scotch Hereditary Revenue nub went through Committees, and were reported. Several Private Bills were brought up from the Commons,— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. urrLICTON brought up the Report ,of the Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Petitions complaining of an undue Return for the Borough of Mao rough, and stated, that they had come to the resolution that Antrobus, Esq. the Sitting Member, was duly elected, but that the said Petition was not frivolous or vexatious; and the oppo sition to the said Petition was not frivolous or vexatious. Mr. CA LCRA FT ,resented a Petition from the Inhabit ants of St. Paul's, Deptford, against the Metropolis Road Bill. The ilonborable Gentleman presented a similar Petition from the Surveyors of Roads in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis. —Laid on the table.

Mr. Alderman BRIDGES supported the prayer of the Petition.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. MARTIN gave notice, that on Friday he would move for leave to bring in a Bill pursuant to the prayer of the said Petition. METROPOLITAN GAS LIGHT BILL. Mr. BYNG moved for the re-appointment of the Committee on the Metropolitan Gas Light Bill. Sir C. DOMVILLE opposed the revival of the Committee as unnecessary. The metropolis was suf ficiently supplied with gas. Mr. GRENFELL was in favour of the establish ment of a new Company, on the principle that the Public would most probably he better supplied by two Companies than by one. Sir J. YOItKE wished to give the Hon. Member one little warning. He would remind his Honour able Friend that a competition amongst the Water Companies had done the Public no good, though they had ruined themselves; but he believed they were now combining to ruin the consumers. He did not believe the Public would derive any greater benefit from this competition on the subject of Gas than they had done on that of Water. If the Hon. Member would only look abroad, he would find we were not without complainings in our streets, owing to the operations of the numerous Companies which already existed ; and those complainings were not without reason, as the ups and d o w ns o f t h e pave ment by which the wheels of our carriages were done up in a year, and the tax on carriages thereby ruined, would prove. He hoped the House would pause before they agreed to establish this new Company. After a few words from Mr. Alderman Bansrsz; Mr. P. MOORE, and others, the House divided-- For the Motion - 93 Against k - $7 Majority - - - —6 BREACH OP PRIVILEGE.
