EQUITABLE LOAN BILL. The Earl of MALAIESBURY presented a petition from Brad. ford, in favour of the Equitable Loan Bill. The Noble Lord stated that the petition was not only signed by the hlcrehants and Manufacturers or the town. but by the Clergyman and the Churchwardens —baid on the table. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a petition against the Equitable Loan Bill from Stoekpott ; and another to the same ef fect from the Chamber of Trade and Commerce in the town of Manchester.—Laid on the table. Earl FORTESCUE presented a petition to the same effect from Bermondaey.—Laid on the table. The Marquis of DOWNSH IRE presented a similar petition the Merchants, Traders, and Manufacturers of the city of - tid on the table. CATHOLIC CLAIMS. Lord KENYON presented a petition against the Claims of the Catholics, from a parish in the county of Salop. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions of a similar nature from the Borough of Malden, from Gloucester, from Eding. ton, and from four parishes in the county of Sussex. The Earl of EGREMONT presented a petition to the same effect from the Inhabitants of Brighton, to which, the Noble Lord observed, iOO signatures had been affixed in three hours. Similar petitions we presented by Lord ARUEN from Peter borough. Be the Duke of BEAUFORT, from the Mayor, Aldermen. and Common Council of the city of Bristol ; from the parishes of St. Phillips. St. James. and St. Stephens, in the same city. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition in favour of the claims of the Catholics, from the town and neighbourhood of Man. cheater. The Noble Earl said that the petition contained the sig. natures of 16.373 persons; and that people of all persuasions had united in forwarding their sentiments to their Lordships. lie be lieved the sentiments it expressed were those of the majority of the people in that populous neighbourhood. The petition had been agreed to at a public meeting, where, after five hours discussion, the question was carried by a majority of three to one.—The pe:i tie.• was then read. The Bishop of CIIESTEI: said that he felt it necessary to make a few observations relative to the petition that had been just read; but before he stated some facts respeciing it, he would observe that a petition against the claims of the Catholics would be soon pre sented to their Lordships from the same place, and that such peti tion contained 40.000 signatures. It was trite that the petition presented by the Noble Lord (Derby) was agreed to at a public meeting. But he (the Bishop of Chester) felt it necessary to state some circumstances that had occurred at such public meeting. The room in which the meeting took place was filled at an early hour by an equal proportion of concessionists and non-concession ists, but soon afterwards, a question of adjournment was put and carried, in consequence of which a great number of the most re spectable persons took their hats and left the room • but the subject was subsequently proceeded with• and it was decided by a majority of the meeting that the petition should be presented. Immediately on those persons quitting the room their places were filled by a number of the lowest persons; and he had reason to believe that of the 16,000 persons who signed the petition ten or twelve thousand were Irish labourers. With respect to the petition that would shortly be resented from Manchester. although it was not consi dered necessary to call a public meeting to forward it, it was left for signature in the moat public places. bu: a number of Irish la bourers forced themselves into a room in which it lay, and scrawled it so as to efface many of the names. Bernal of those persons had also signed it with a X, in order to prejudice their Lordships against it. This was however discovered in time, but the ronse quence was, that the petition would be presented as the petition of 38.000 instead of 40,000. Their Lordships then would base no difficulty in deciding which of the two petitions was most worthy their attention. Ile found, on examining the petition presented by the Noble Earl, that immediately after the name of the borough 'reeve were the names of many Irishmen, such as " Michael Sweeny," " Timothy O'Callaghan," &c. This, however, was not important, and he merely stated it to prove the coivectness of his nb tion that the petition was signed by many Irish. The Earl of DERBY said that as the Right Rev. Prelate had stated that the names of several Irishmen came immediately after that of the boroughreeve, he begged leave to inform the Right Rev. Prelate that the second name of the petition was that of " Burney," a gentleman who was an officer in the volunteer corps. Ile re peated that the petition contained many most respectable names, and he believed the sentiments contained in it were those of the ma jority o • the people in Manchester. He hoped the measure they ad vocated would pass the House, as he conceived it not only necessary to the tranquillity of Ireland, but equally a matter of right and of ljustice. The Earl of LIMERICK complained of the manner in which the Right Rev. Prelate had alluded to the" lowest order of Irish," who surely had a right to express opinions on a subject in which their dearest interests were concerned. The Bishop of CHESTER explained that nothing was farther from his feelings than to 'cast any stigma on any body of men. When he used the words " lowest class," he did so merely with re ference to their worldly condition. Lord CLIFDEN said that the observation only proved it to be true, that the Irish, from the highest to the lowest, felt strongly on this important subject. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition in favour of the claims of the Catholics, from the Unitarians of Liverpool and its vicinity.—The petition was read. The Earl of DA ItNLEY presented a petition to the same effect, front Rochester and its vicinity, in the county of Kent. The Noble Earl observed that a petition of an opposite nature had recently been presented by a Right Rev. Prelate, which was gut up by means of placards. hand-bills, and cries of " No Popery." The Earl of ABINGDON presented a petition from Abingdon, against the claims of the Catholics. The Noble Earl observed that he had used no influence whatever to procure this petition. Ile fully and conscientiously agreed in the sentiments it expressed. Lord DYNEVOR presented a petition to the same effect, from the county of Carmarthen, and others from several parishes in the sanie county. The Bishop of LINCOLN presented ten petitions from as many parishes in the Diocese of Lincoln. The Right Rev. Prelate ob served, that as a Noble Lord opposite (Lord King) had said that but few petitions had been presented from large Dioceses, he would entreat him to recollect that the Diocese of 'Ahearn was one of the largest, if not the largest. in England. He had never used any kind of influence to procure petitions, because he did not think it would be just in any one who had to decide upon a question to seek for petitions on the subject. The Duke of RUTLAND presented petitions to the same effect from several hundreds in Suffolk ; from Market Harborough, in the County of Leicester; and from the parish of St. Nicholas, in the town of Leicester. The Bighop of BATH and WELLS presented a similar peti tion% from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Wilts, and from Frome in :-Loinersetshire. The Bishop of LONDON presented similar petitions from the parishes of St. Swithin's and St. Mary 13otolph, in the City of London. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition in favour of the CLims of the C'atholies, from Leighton Buzzard, in the county of Bedford. Lord KEN YON presented &petition against the Catholic Claims from Taunton. Somersershire. The 3larquis of LANSDOWN wished to know if it were trite that the officers of the Militia in Taunton had Induced the nut under their commend to sign this petition ? Lord KENYON said that he was not aware of any such dream. stance, but he would make inquiries, and at some future time reply to the question of the Noble Marquis. The Bishop of CHESTER presented petitions to the setae effect from two parishes in the County of Lancaster. Similar petitions were presented By the Bishop of PETERBI >ROUGH from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Arehtleaconry of Peterborough; and from Hanby, in Northamptonshire. By the Bishop of HEREFORD from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the .Archdeaeonry of Lewes; from New Shoreham. in the County of Sussex; and another from Hyde, signed by 280 persons. By the Bishop of ST. DAVID'S from several parishes in the Diocese of St. David's. By the Earl of SIIAFTESBURY from the Dissenting Congre. gation of Gower-street Chapel, City-road ; and another from Hemel Hempstead. in the County of Hereford. Lord KIN() presented a petition in favour of the Claims of the Catholics from the Clergyman and Congregation of Whitrhurch. Lord UOSFORD presented a petition from certain Roman Ca tholics. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said he had a petition to present, to which in a few words he would beg to call the attention of their Lordships. It was from the bankers, merchants, sad traders, of the City of London, in favour of Catholic Emancipation. It con tained only the signature of 2011 persons, but those persons were possessed of capital to the amount of between 20 and 30 millions. They stated their opinion that a large portion of the capital of this ' country was prevented from going to Ireland, because of the dila bilities under which the Roman Catholics of that country laboured; and they prayed of the House to release this capital in order that it might be employed equally to the benefit of Ireland and England. —The petition was read. The Marquis of LA NSDOWN then presented petitions to the same effect from the dissenting congregation of the chapel in Pars. disc-row. Liverpool, from the Rector of Holliwell, and from the Roman Catholics of Kenmare. The Marquis of .LANSDOWN said that he had committed an error on a former evening, when presenting a petition from the pa rish of St. Luke's, by stating that the name of the rector was ' affixed to the petition. It was the curate and not the rector who had signed it, and the mistake occurred in consequence of that gentleman having written •` Rectory House" upon his card. e. M T he bl o t ions en an w e d re o s t e h s e ersl , bc i d ri on fro t h in e t t a h b e l louse of Commons brought up the Ireland Impounding Distresses Bill, the Chelsea Pensioners Regulation Bill, the Warehousing Corn Bill, s l id several private Bills. which were read a lint time. Mr. hlaling, from the East Country Dock Company, mantel HOUSE OF COMMONS. Alowpar, MIT 14 Mr. S. NVH ITBREA D brought on the Report of the Hyde patk Turnpike Bill, on the motion of Mr. H. Stow to, and after a few words from M. Hocatra and Mr. Davrwron•t, was ordered to be re-committed. THE EDINBURGH AND DALKEITH ROAD BILL. Sir G. CLERK hrought up the Report of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Road DM. Sir R. FERGUSON said he would not object to the bringieg up of the Repot , . but would take the sense of the House on the third reeding of the Bill, which he was satietied the House. when it was eeplsined to them, would consider a highly objectionable and injurious Biil. WEST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. MANNING moved the third reading of the West India Cunmane Bill. Mr. EVA Ne opposed the third reading. on the ground of its tendency to place the slave population of the West Indies in a worse conditon than they were at present. Mr. 'l'. IVILSON denied that such would be the effect of the Bill. On the contrary, by the increased capital that would he rm. barked in Wept India property, the condition of the slave would be improved cnnsidi tab'''. for there would exist greater means e relieving his wants, preserving hint from starvation, and in every respect contributing to his comtMe Dr. LUSH INGTON was opposed in the present Bill from the way in which it must necessarily operate with respect to the Slave population of the %Vest Indies. By its operation the plantations would in a grad degree become rested in this Company. instead at in the hands of individuals, and it would consequently be produc tive of all the evils which were entailed upon the slaves, by haring the concerns of the West India estates conducted not be propel( tors themselves, but by agents. This had been always felt to be an evil of great magnitude, and it was manifest that it must be nue tnented to a still greater degree if the present Bill were to pass into a law. The slaves would be deprived of all the advantage to be expected trout the superintendence of a merciful and humane mas ter. The paving of the present Bill would also be opposed to the a Resolutions of 11123. There Wet another great evil to be appre hended ; the difficulty of manumission would be greatly incensed. for how could this Company niamenit their slaves in the Rime wile that individuals do ? Individuals manumit their slaves alert long service, and scarcely did a planter die, but, from affection or some motive of mercy, he manumitted many of his slaves; but by the proposed plan of a Company, they would have the slaves vested as if in mortmain. As the establishment of this Company was calve lard to check manumission, and thereby to continue the present system of slavery in the West Indies, lie felt it his duty to oppose the third reading of it. 31r. 111 7 31 E said that one would suppose from the speech of hi. Hon, and heerned Friend, that the proprietors of the West Ind... estates resided on their estates. Now it was well known thatit was no such thing. (Hear, hear.) Ac to manumission he thought the slaves would have a better chance of being rnarumitted under a Company than under individuals ; he would, therefore, support the present Bill. Ste 1. COFFIN—Sir, I think this a very good Bill, and I hope it will pass. Mr. SYKES said there were three peominent objections to the' Bill ; first, the difficulty of manumission ; secondly, that it would have the effect of continuing the present system of slavery in the %Vest Indies, by enlisting forty thousand additional enemies oldie liberation of the Aileen; and thirdly, that the price of Wen India produce would be augmented by the mtahli.hinent of this. Company. There was no measure that called ter closer attention than the present, and he hoped it would encounter the omitted or position of every friend to the liberation of the slaves. Mr. It. GORDON said that the only object of the Rill was to enable proprietors to borrow money from a Company iestead ito' from individuals. He quire differed from the Hon. Member fee Hull (Mr. Sykes), that this measure would detenorate; it was lea (Mr. Gordon's) conviction it would ameliorate the condition of the slave, as far ea the condition of the slave could be af fected by it. Sir J. YORKE did not pretend to understand much of West India property ; but lie could not understand how the monger, m of West India property would be in a better condition by the pass ing of this Bill than they were before. Mr. MANNINO, in a low tone of voice, supported the Bin, and contended, that as far as the slave population would be atfecteu by the Bill, their comforts would he gristly promoted by it. Mr. F. BrXTON said, that it had been complained of that the reduction in the property of the produce of slave labour bad been geatly :educed. and that that reduction was greatly owing to the frequent agitation of the slave question in that !louse. He mind , - ted both these facts, but he owned he (lid not regret the reditetion of that property which arose from a traffic in man. and which •: was proposed by the present Bill to render more profitable Fitch a traffic—to whatever imputation it might subject him—lie would net hesitate to say was a disgrace to the country that countenancei ie. for lie would ever maintain that man ought not, like a marketable commodity, be sold and purchased. It had been siaid, in favour M . this measure, that it would serve the Colonies by increasing the number of tease who would take an interest in it. He would ad mit that there might ben greater number of persons connected eh!: it, but he wss not prepared to admit the inference of advantage de rivablt• from it. The interests of the West India Colo ice were already fully represented in that House. 3lr. Fox hatl formesly said that there was no part of the Empire that might be said tole: more fully represented than our West India Colonies ; and he saw it mentioned in a Jamaica Gazette lately, that on any question tue planters could command in that House a phalanx of 24k) Members. (Hear, hear.) He regretted that *het Oakes possessed such ponce as he saw invariably exercised, not in a display of its pure strength, but in an opposition to every measure of humanity and justice for the relief of the slave population. So far from relief to the slave ' population, he arnrehended great and augmented evil by having proprietors of four millions of money interested to that very hove amount, in continuing the present system of slavery in our West India Colonies. He was also induced to oppose the present Bill, when he saw many names of such respectability, who were first an the list of the Road of Director , , withdrawn from that list. lie would particularly advert to the name of his Hon. Friend the 31ember for elediturat ( Mr. J. Smith) who had been a Director last year, but who now ceased to be so. Mr. %V. imitroN was induced to ' , import the preseht Bin, as, from tile manner in which its capital would he employ em., would tend to the relief of the slave population, as tar a they would be affected by it. The Company only sought ro leave to sue and be cued, as in the case of individuate. This wee not arming them with any alarming power : it would enable them to relieve many of the (heiresses now complained of ass great eve. The planters would, by this Bill, be enabled to relieve theruselve• from temporary distress at a greater advantage than they now could, end they who were so anxious to relieve the sufferings of the slave population should remember, that Mr. Wilberforce, in arguing this question in 17ilff, contended, that the comfort of the shore should always be concomitant with, and in proportion to, the welfare of his master. lie contemplated much advantage from the passing of thi present measure, and denied that deeps was anything he the min ' eiple or details of the Bill at varianife the retaliation of 11f3d, mcentended for by the Honourable and Ildisemd ifeeellese. 3lr. II ROCG if A 31 said he was opposed to t Bill, not merely on the ordinary grounds of objection were wetally taken to Bills for the formation of Joint - sto ck panic .— Bills Vim which ought at all times, in his opinion, to be hatched with the most jealous and cautious attention. He hafeed Hon. Members would not permit themselves to be lulled tolleep under the erro neous idea that this was a private Bill ; it was no such thing : it was a Bill which was to extend all over the West Indies, which was es moist every man, woman, and child there, and which was adeelleed to exasperate to an inc alculable degree all the mischiefs !lei 'beady intolerable evils under which they were suffering. Ile lOW consent to withdraw his opposition if he did not prove that reposition. (Some confusion in the House here occurred.) He =tee( that Hon. Gentlemen would remain quiet, or that they postpone the discussion until such time as they found them selves in a fit state to legislate on a measure offending 800,000 of their fellow-subjects. (Hear, hear.) At present, what was the only security which the slaves in the West Indies had for any thine like mildness of treatment ? what but the attention and kindness et a resident humane master, who, than kindness or some merciful motive, treated his slave with lenity ? This was something like se curity; but how would this security be diminished if 3,000 Mies of ocean intersected between him and his masters, arid these master, not responsible for their conduct in their individual capacity, but le the capacity of a Joint-stock Company. It had been admitted on allthe hands pprieton that i'.ot bir of the system. But how was it proposed to remedy this evil, which had been made an excuse hitherto on the part of the pro prietors for the maltreatment of their slaves ? To pass a Bill for otth-eit,m"buagt management y entof agents , M W es as t one lndl o s t p th o e Pe g r r t ea y lest evils the formation of a Board of Directors, all of whom were to be distant three thousand miles from the %Vat Indies, which tats 111 be affected by this measure. Instead of a remedy it was ill vation of the very evil complained o f.
