162 but although Parliament had an uadotfuted right to pass and enforce such a Bill, yet it should ha left to the Colonies them -selves to adopt such a measure. His Lordship concluded with moving an Address to the Pence Regent, praying him " to ac quaint the Governors of the West India Islands with his high displeasure at the insureiction of the slaves at Ear b4d oes ; and with his surprise that it should have been represented to the slaves that it was the intention of Government to emancipate them." Earl ItVrlllinsT and the Duke of SUSSES concurred in Lord Hollantra motion, and the Address was carried unanimously. The Clermont Estate Bill went through a Committee. On the motion of the Earl of Egreinont, the Coroner's Bill was rejected, the numbenteing—Contents 4, Non-Contents 6. Adjourned. FRIDAY, JUNE 2A, The Regent's Canal Bill was read a third time, after some conversation between Earl Stanhope, Marquis Camden, Earls llL•erelestield and Morton, and passed. The .Irchhishop of CANTERBURY adverted to a part of Lord speerh on the Slavic Insurrection in Ita:badoes, in which tho Noble Lord stated, that he was apprehensive the Church of England did not pay sufficient attention to the reli gions instruction of the Slaves in the %Vest India Nands. Every pains had been taken to till up the Missionaries provided for by bequests on estates. In sonic cases it had been found impos sible to do so, on account of the jealousy with which Mti.•sion- . aries were received in the West Indies. As far as could be alone, the Church of England had provided fur the instruction of the Slaves in the West India Maink, Lord HoLLA ND admit!ed that he had stated that the Church of England had left undone many things towards the religious instruction of the Negroes which they might have done. He did not mean to blame any of the Bishops ; but he must say, that more difficulty had been found in getting Missionaries of the Clinrch of England, than those of any other sect of reli gionists whatever. On the Report of the Gas Light Bill, The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the House would ruin the Whale Fishery, and the other fair traders, if they agreed to this Bill without giving time for tke consideration of the evidence given betine the Committee. The Earl of la in ERICK contended, that time enough had been' given for the consideration of this Bill, and therefore he hoped tije House would agree to the Report. The Earl of Launen DALE said, that on the third reading of this Bill he would move a clause, that the Company should not itivrease the price of their lights when they should find that train (al had become scarce. The Report of the Bill was then agreed to, and the Bill or dered to he read a third time on Monday. Lee'. Patent Bill was thrown out, on a division of 4 to 4 (an equality of division being the same in the House of Lords as a majority against any measure). The Irish Clerk of the Pleas Bill went through a Committee, And was reported. The Aver and Malt Duty Drawback, the Clermont Estate, the Criminal Returns, the Irish Militia Pay and Clothing, the Loaa Provision, the Scotch Distillery, the Small Coal, the Navy Offices s' half-pay, and the Treasury Consolidation Bills, were severally read a third time and passed. The Appropriation, the Ale Duty, the Clergy Farms, the Chancery Courts, the Elgin Marbles, the Lunatic Offenders, the Leather, the New Sheet, the Irish Spirit Trade, the Irish )spirit Duty, the Coal and Coln), the Collieries and Mines Pro tection, the Insolvent Debtors', the Irish Insolvent Debtors', the Watch and Ward, and the Windsor Forest Bills, went through Committees, and were reported.—Adjuurned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, JUNE 2 6 SAVING BANKS. On the report, Mr. Rose moved for the iesertion of a clause at Nvbich Mr. Caleraft expressed his surprise, as a similar clause had been rejected in the discussion on Friday last in the Committee. Instead of saying whether or no he would proceed in the bill, the Hon. Member reproduced his clause respecting investments. This was an unprecedented mode of proceeding. The object of the clause was, that it' a labouring man aceninulate•l ptoperty in a saving bank, and should after wards be obliged to apply to the parish, his accumulation shoull not be made applicable to his relief, hut remain an in 'violable fund. The parish was still to subsist him; which was unjust, and subversive of the principle of the poor laws. .A pauper might have lOW. in the saving bank, and thereby be richer than assessed parishioners. The CH A NCI- - LIAR of the Exeneuuen said, the clause was an important part of the system. Some alteration might be advisable ; and he sitzgested an amendment, by which, instead of its being the imperative ditty of the magistrates to grant the required relief, discretion should he given them in the case of relief wanted by individuals who had money in the saving banks. The present proposed clause was not exactly the same, however, that had been negatived. Sir C. Moses saw no islprovement in the proposed amend ment. The capital of an individual who wanted relief should he tendered available for that purpose. This systeon might have dangerous effects on oar poor laws. It was an extrava gant proposition to make, that a man should save money to leave to his children, while he was receiving parochial relief. Lind Bin 61Ni; said, the proposed amendment appeared to remove all reasonable objections. Originally, the clause cer tainly prevented the justices from interfering as to money in the saving banks; but by the amendment of the Chancellor of - SG^ Exelsequer, the whole case would be left to their judgment. Mr. LOCKHART was adverse to the clause, which in its effects must be dangerous to the poor laws, or nugatory. Earl Compton and Mr. Wilberforce supported the clause, and Mr. H. Davis spoke against it. (In the question for bringing up the clause, Mr. Rose observed, that en a former occasion the Holum wait very thin, and the majority very small. He therefore felt himself justified in producing it in a fuller attendance. It had seldom happened, that any bill had undergone a more -strict and severe examination both within and without doors. Me had himself received 300 communications on the subject. - Committee , ; of both I louses had sat, and it had been scrutinised out of doors by many gentlemen in the mercantile line. He agreed ti the propus - ed amendment for leaving to the magistrates a discretiwi as to the consideration of the fund in ises requiring parochial relief. Sir C. Mosett thought the amendment made the claws snore objeetionable. He highly praised the character null conduct of the English mairistiatea—a body, of whom au wher country tnjpyed the benefit; but he objected to giving shim this iiiia?peliahle jurisdictioa, which they ought nut to possecs hat in case's of iudithitatbie necessity. The drugs was then read. Upon the question that it stand part of the }till, Mr. CALCHAF r said lie %%mint ~,, tildraw his objection on account ut the iiinetikhnent that it had received. Mr. B illpk'4l, if any limit was contemplated with THE NATIONAL REGISTP.R. rcspeet to the stuns allowed to remain la the Wok while the person received parish aid? We should Hot burden the pour rate,. The Cilameaumit of the Excntrturn replied, that it would he impossible to tix a sum that would be suitable in all cir cuanstanees. Sir C. NIIINCIt repeated some of his former objections. At present the same individual could not be a receiver of paro chial aid, and a coutributor. This clause was contradictory of such a principle; as it allowed a person to contribute •actually to receive. The House then divided on the question, that the clause stand part of the it,39—Against it, 24—Majority 34. . The . Bill was ordered to lie reati a third time to-inoiruw. In a Committee on the Clergy Non-residence Exemption Bill, Gen. THOR NTON complained of the negligence of the Clergy in general: but particularly as to the performance of the church service. iliC CHANCELLOR of the Emirs:muse said, that the present Bill would not exempt the Clergy from any of the penalties for non•perfirmance of their dimly. It was merely to exempt them from paying the penalties of non-residence under par ticular circumstances. This *as merely a temporary set; and another would be brought In next seaside, when the question might be fully dismissed. The House resumed, and time report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. TUEADAY, JUNE Y.S. The SPEAKER attended the House of Peers to hear the Royal Assent given to sundry public and private Bills, (See The Hertford College Bill, the Local Charge Bill, the Clare mont Estate Bill, and the Criminal Returns Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. CORONERS' BILL. On the third reading, Mr. CALCRAFT said, that after repeated discussion he saw no reason to alter his opinions against the Bill. Mr. G. LANuToa strongly adverted to the present situation of the country, which disabled it trout bearing any additional burdens. _ . . • Mr. WORTLF.Y moved, that the bill be read that day three months. _ _ General THOR NTON seconded the motion. Sir J. Gu %HAM supported the bill; which only proposed nine-pence a mile, instead of fourpence halfpenny, which was settled 70 years ago. The expellee will not be more than a farthing in the pound in any county, and in some it would not amount to a fourth of a farthing. Great misrepresentations had bten made by hand bills against (Isis bill, particularly in Somersetshire. Hence the Somersetshire members had been troubled with so many petitions. Mir. Mum vsosi said, that whatever the handbills might have stated, an expense would be thrown on Somersetshite of 1,2001. a year. On a division the numbers were—Ayes, 40—Noes, 30—Ma jority, 110.—Adjourned. - - - - - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26. The Madhouse Regulation Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. PONSONEY enqu: red if it was probable, after the coining prorogation, that Ministers would advise the reassembling of Parliament before Jannary next ? The CHANCELLOR of the Ex citEnuEn said, Parliament had made provision fully for the present year; and if nothing un forseen arose, he did not apprehend the necessity of:gaffing Parliament together before Christmas. On the third reading of the Vagrant's Bill, Mr. lioasien moved a clause to give a greater discretionary power to Ma gistrates with regard to the amount of punishment. Trans portation for seven years might be proper in extreme cases; but a power of mitigation in miter cases ought to he given to Magistrates. The amendment was agreed to, after some re marks bp Mr. Wilberforce and by Col. Wood, who contended, that if laws were written in Wood, poaching would never cease while gentlemen in town continued to buy game for their tables. The Bill was passed.—Adjourned till Monday.
