Lord M E I.V I I.L E objected to the further progress of t h is bill daring the present session, on the ground that this bid having been before the Commons several months, was brought up to that (loose in July, when many of the Peers of Scotland, who were much interested in the bill, hail left London to pursue laudable objects elsewhere. 'I hey left Parliament with an on thirsts/Wing that this bill would not be brought forward during the presesii session. It would not be acting lairly by these Peers, lithe bill was allowed to pass in their absence, and as no great inconvenience would arise fioni delay, lie should move the bill be committed that day three months. After a tew words from Lord Holland the amendment was agreed to, and the bat was consequently lost for the present sasslon.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said lie held in his hand a bill which had for its object the Amendment of the Bankrupt Laws. —He wished the measure to be received, and read the first tune, with a view that it might be taken into the tonstdzration of the , r Lordships duting the recess. The bill would be printed, and stand user until next session of Pailiament, when the home might Lgtslate upon it. The noble and learned lorA did not wish to pledge the house to the adoption of every clause in the bill, but the subject of the measure he was induced to believe, might produce much advantage to the public. There was one clause in the bill which the noble and learned lord considered a very important teature. lie alluded to that part of the bill which enabled a bankrupt to declare himself insolvent, and thereby save his eitalitors at the expense of working a connnission. Having adverted to other matters connected with the bill, lie concluded by moving it be read the first time. The bill was accordingly read the first time, and ordered to be printed.

Tho CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of the Superannuation /Jill. The right hon. gen tleman proposed a chute. Mr. CALCRAFT said the clause was an improvement, but it did not remove his objections to the bill. The clause was agreed to. It provided that persons not con ; tributing to the fund should not be entitled to superannuations. Mr. ABERCROMBY said, that in fact, those who were in office before July G, should be under regulations that heretofore existed. Other clauses were presented by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, requiring annual returns of Superanauatious, etc.— Agreed to. On the quertiou that the hill do pass, Mr. CANNING hoped theta more decidedly optional charac ter would he given to the bill, in another place, as far as re garded the contributions of official characters to the Coed. Ball passed and ordered to the Lords. Mr. B. BATHURST presented the Report of the Committee, to vvhoru the petition of the Calcutta bankers was referred. Mr. CANNING said that he understood this report was not final. It must be brought forward again in the next Session — but lie expressed his regret that such claims had been so far ceunlenanced by the (louse as to consider this petition here. It would revive other claims which might not be so just as this petition ; at a I events it weiild produce those claims the pro gress and mode of which he bad been fire years in repressing. lie had acted on the old notions on this subject, and here and elsewhere he should continue to do till some superior power sliould tell him he was wrong. The right hon. gentleman entered into some demils respecting tte laws iu India regarding usury, and the making up of lea's to thy native powers. ~~ ! Mr. C. W. WYNN thought that there were no doubts re spevting those laws. If there were oily doubts, it would be right that there should be a declaratory act ou the subject ; and it it were hound, however, on cul.suliing the law °Ricers, Le should deem it his duty, early in the neat Session, to diit,t the attention of the House to the question. After some remarks from Mr. NOSEY, Mr. VORBES expressed his astonishment at the doctrine held by the right hon. gentleman near loin (Mr. Canning), The parties had as mud' right to prefer complaints to that House ~* any British horn subjects. Mr. 111.11 E had before adverted to the danger which would jte iucurred by the House, if such applications to the I:aus• were encouraged. They were applications that emit(' not i.• fairly adjusted by the House, and therefore it would be unuirs to encourage them. The local government mi s fit exprrieu inconvenience, but they would only have to thank the Dome of Controul. Mr. CANNING explained. Mr. PRENDERGAST spoke in favor of the claims in the petition, and of the right the petitioners to make their appeal to Parliament. Report ordered to lie on the table.

On t.•e question that the Barilla Duties Bill he referred to a Committee, A memlivr moved as an amendment, that it be committed this day three months. Mr. ELLICE said, he was not surprised at this amendment. The Bill was intended to afford relief to particular persons but sow other mode of granting that relief ought to be adopted. The CHANCELLOR of the E KC/lEQU EH. said, that this Bill was brought in to protect the Barilla dealers from those great lessee that they would otherwise 'obtain by the reduction of the Salt Duties. Mr. W. smtrit was in favour of the Bill. Was one party to he denied relief because there were two parties who ought o be protected ? Mr. R. M ARTIN said a few words in opposition to the bill. Mr. T. WILSON trusted that the bill would be allc?..d to go to a Committee. Amendment negatived.; bill committed ; report to-morrow.. The bill is to take ettect front January instead of October. The Exchequer Bill's Bill went through a Committee.—Re- port to-morrow. On the motion that the Smuggling Prevention Bill be read a third time, Mr. BERNAL spoke against it, adverting to the hardships that the revenee laws exposed individuals to. According to those laws, the oath of one officer was sufficient to send any poor devil" on Mud a man of war. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL observed, that if any impro per commitment took place, the party could apply for a writ nt Habeas Carpus, and procuee his immediate discharge. Mr. LUSH INGTON said it was intended to give the Lords of the Treasury power to interfere in particular cairn. Dr. LUSIIINGTON again adverted to the case of some per sous brought Solo Yarmouto, and there committed to prison as smut, re, having been taken on be coast of Holland ; he thought such else merited time consideration of Governieetit. Mr. BERNAL thought the bill ought to stand over till to morrow, to Word the opportunity of giving reused; fur particu lar eons ictiocs. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the form of conviction in this bill was similar to what was to be found in all Acts where forms of convictions were required. Bill read a third time and passed.

TUESDAY, JULY SO. The House was summoned to the House of Peers, in the usual manner, to bear the Royal assent given to sundry bills.— (See Lords.) The Tytises Leasing Bill (Ireland) was read a third time and passed, after some remarks Iron Colonel French, Sir W. de Craspigny, and Mr. Goulbourn. The Militia Pay Bill was read a third tame and passed. The Report of the Exchequer Bills Bill was received and agreed to. Ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. . Air. T. P. COURTEN AY brought up an immense bundle nt papers respecting Mr. ('rendergast's Cave, and the Calcutta bankers. Lord LONDONDERRY gave notice, that be should ronsr. to-morrow, that the House, at its rising, should adjoin'. to Monday. Dr. PHILLIMORE presented a petition from Francis PO. of Farringdon, Berkshire , c om p lainin g of the Lieeneing system.. Mr. F. PALMER said, that too much attention could not I -c paid to this subject. He trusted that it would again be revived at no distant period. Too much could not be dune to diminish the diaisppointment experienced by the public at the failure of the two important clauses in the bill of his bon. friend (%!r. 11. G. Bennet.) Petition read and ordered to he printed. PIRACY.—Mr. MARRYAT presented a petition from mer chants in the port of London engaged in the Wiest futile ti acre complaining of the extension of piracy. Sir G. COCKBURN :Aid that the English government had done all that was to be ellected. If we bad iuterfered in a still more marked manner it might have ie./aired as in quarrels with infant States, such as Chili and Peru, which were, be w as hound to state, governments d e f acto ; and if England were to take part against those infant States, Old Spain mast lia.• tr i um phed. What would then have been said of the English government? Why, the Minister's would have been scooted from that House. The fact was, the British merchants were rather unreasonable ; the moment they suffered even partial ia corn enience, they began to complitin, without any reference to the general interests. Lord LONDONDERRY made some similar ohaervatione, adding that be regretted such a petition as this should be pi, seuted. It could only open the eyes of the powers whose pro • ceedings were complained of ; it could only show the weakness of our Laws on such subjects ; it would be much better if tt e parties were to endeavour to open the eyes of the Admiralty, if it were snpposed that the Admiralty was supine in its conduct. His Lordship added that Lord Cochrane had taken acme strong• • views of the laws of nation s, and the English go ve ment had made some strong representations to the 11;Liliaa authoriti,s ou this subject.
