Constituted a Joint-Stock Company by an Act of the 6th George IV, 1826. This important undertaking is supported by many of the leading Merchants, Ship owners, and Traders of the Metropolis, who are deeply linen-cc" in promoting its commercial prosperity. The necessity of giving to the public additional convenient wet dock and bonding amommodatien near the seat of business infthe port of liondon, and of securing to it a reduction irr the rattn and chances, has long been experier.eed. Moderate rates upon the land ing, housing, rent, shipping, dta of goods, nee essential for the pur. pose of bringing this port nearer to a level., in point of expense, not only with the other ports of the empire to which the privilege of bonding is extended, but more particularly who the principal ports of the Continent of Europe, which, in consequence of tneir lower charges, attract a very large proportion of the trade of transit which would othern ise resort to London. The prosperity which cannot but attend that lucrative branch of commerce, under the improved commercial code of the country, especially if accunpanied by a diminution in the part charges, must be apparent front the great increase r:hich evert under existing cir cumstances, has already been experienc ed, since the passing of the Wsuehousing Act, in July, 1823—four-fifths of which increase has ' be at crloved by the port of London. 3 . Tim- Lcziton 1.415 e oaly merel bonding establishment al*in three miles and a half faitsthe Royal Excnange, sad that .sterkishavent does nee afford aecumnsaslation far gas itiereaste cf trade which has already twken place ; stilt less, therefore. can it prociic for the additional event of business that may confidently be expe.ned to flow out of those enlightened principles of legislation which are so eminently calculated to promote and extend the tom merce and navigation of the British Empire, and make the Port of London the etnporittm of the world. The place which has been selected for the construction of the pro- posed Docks, NVarehouses, Quays, &c. which will be surrounded with walls, so as to entitle them to all the privileges of the wale. housing system and of legal quays, is situated between the Tower and the London Docks, • situation unparalelled in point of con venience. The advanced state of science in engineering and arcgitecture, with the present price of building materials, will enable the pro moter, of the measure, notwithstanding the comparatively limited site, to afford to the public accommodation for warehousing. bond ine, and quay-room, nearly equal in extent to the London Docks; and from an improved construction of the warehouses, which will be erected within a few feet of the margin of the clocks and basin, a very considerable annual saving will be effected in the expense of labourage. it is computed that the St. Katharine Docks sad Basin will, with great convenience. afford accommodation, annually, for about 1,400 inerchard skips, including private trade Indiamen, besides craft for loading and discharging. Increased facilities will be afforded to the ingress and egress of shipping by the improved application of mechanical powers, by means of which ships and lighters, at a very trifling expense to the Company, may, in the night as yell as by day, be locked in and out of the docks during any period of 'tide ; as the sills of the outward gates will be so conioructed as to provide for ten feet depth at low water, and from twenty-six to , thirty feet at the height of spring tiler. According to the estimates proved before Committees of Parlia ment, the total cost of the site, the purchase of buildings, leases, and the various interests concerned, including compensations and expenses of carrying the Act into execution, will be about, 1,34'0,0004 ; whilst the capital stock of the London Dock Company amounts to upwards of 3.200,000 f. Calculating upon the above estimates of outlay, with an ample provision fur extraordinary contingencies and unforeseen demands,l including a reserve fund, and making large allowances for a redue tion in the rates of the port, the profits are estimated to be such as will yield a highly satisfactory return to the subscribers on their in. vestment.* The proscs thus estimated may be anticipated with the greater confidence, because the calculation proceeds on the suppo sition of al extent of business equal to only three-fourths of the capacity of the proposed docks and warehouses, whereas it may fairly be expected, that the inestimable advantage of proximity of situation, and the attention which will be paid to every possible im provement in management, may secure full employment, and, con sequently, still larger returns to the proprietors. rhe Act provides for the payment of interest to the subscribers upon their instalments, after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, until the works shall have been completed. A deposit of 11 percent. upon die sums subscribed has been made ; and upon payment of the first call, a scrip receipt will be issued to the proprietors; after which, sales at' shares may take place. The calls arc limited to 10 per cent. upon a •wo months' notice. No person will be answerable beyond the amount of stock stand ing in his name. • At the expiration of one year, to be reckorml from the opening of the docks for business, a dividend will bed:dared and paid, and after that period half-yearly, regard being had tothe creation of a reserved fund for repairs and contingencies. An account of die-concerns of the Company for the preceding year will be laid before the proprietors at the annual meetings, and ma y be ink petted by them a few days previous to such meetings.

The Committee are more particularly desirous. on this occasion, of giving publicity to a circumstance, which does not appear to have been generally adverted to, either by the magistracy or pa rochial authorities, that the clause in the Act of 28 Geo. 111, c. allowing Boys to be apprenticed to Chimney Sweepers at the age of Eight, has been superseded and virtually repealed, and the age ex tended to Nine : , by the following clause in an Act to regulate the binding of Parish Apprentices, passed in the 56th Gee. 111. c. 139 : " And be it further enacted, that from and after the let day of Oc- I tuber (1816) it shall not be lawful for any Pariah Officer to bind out any Child as Parish Apprentice until such Child shall have at. l tamed the age of Nine years, anything in any Act or Acts of Par. liament to the contrary notwithstanding." The increase of public and other Buildings in sod near London. and the improvements at Windsor, induced the Committee, em boldened by the uniform patronage their cause has received from the King, to submit to his Majesty's Office of Works the propriety of causing all new Flues to be so constructed as to admit of being at all times cleansed by Machinery, and a most satisfactory assur- ance has been in consequence received from Colonel Stephenson, that the object will he carefully attended to in the various Buildings under his superintendence.

H e h a d recently happened to spend a few days at Windsor, and saw the exertions that were there making to tontore that magnificent s ea t ni our 31 onarc h s to i s original sp .en. dor; but he conceived there was the strongest reason to alter the appearance of some of the property about the Castle, because the state of that property was in some cases such as to mu its effect. He had mentioned this circonstanoe in one or two preteens of his Majesty's Government, and he had been told that such an Act would be impossible, because it would be so unpopular. Now in all cases of great improvement it was found necessary to trench in NON degree upon private property, and for such an object as the 110 e he alluded to it would be impossible that an Act of Parliament. which gave a limited power over property, when such an Act was accessary to preserve the splendor of that ancient monarchical seat, could be unpopular. In its neighbourhood there were many roads, trees, and cottages, which h e conce i ve d oug h t to be altered or t► moved, and without doing which all the present exertions to ins. prove would be rendered nugatory. He would not, however, make this subject the ground of any motion. Mr. Spring Rice, and other Members of the House of Commons, brought up a request 'for the further evidence taken before a Corn mime of their Lordships on the state of Ireland. Mr. Brogdep, and other Members of the House of CATtnang, brought up the Passage 'Vessels Bill, the Newspaper Act Amend. meat Bill, the Smuggling Prevention Bill, the British Possessions Trade Regulation Bill, t h e General Warehousing Bill, the Glebe hands Bill. the Christ's Hospital Bill, the Bartholomew Hospital Bill, the Isle of Man Trade Regulation BiA, the Customs Ilveu lation Bill, and several Private Bilk, which were read a fort time. Mr. Tomlin, prevented Annum, feats the CuPwsn lifjp white to S n ipping and Ncsigation. "*! A POT!' ECA.RfES BILL.

WRITTS OF ERROR BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL mowed the second reading of tljte %Veit* of Lrmr Bill. The Noble Earl said that it was nem..., :or him to make but a few observations in recommending thiq Bill to their Lordship'. Its importance might be provediby one vharr fact : of 1.197 writs of error that had been issued, 1,111.5 had not been followed up, or in any way acted-upon. The practice of aim ' lishing writs of error had already occurred in the Court of the County, Palatine of Lancaster, and had been successfully acted upon there. The LOUD CHANCELL9R observed, that the abolition of an evil was not necessarily the creation of a good. In abolisbirg this usage, which had been stigmatised as evil. he waa COnaineed a 4water evil would be produced than the evil it removed. He was certain Oat If judgment by default,' and writ of error, were taker 'way, the defendant who was not allowed se to plead, would plead the general issue, and what would be the consequence but an in ermse of expense and greater delay ? It was better to let the old practice prevail, such, at least, had been the opir.ion of all the great legal authorities with whom he had been acquainted for the last forty years. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that if the Bill went into a Committee, he should move an amendment to the clause relative to compensation. The IlilllTas then read a second time. BUBBLE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved the second ratting of the Bubble Act Amendment Rill. The Earl if LAUDERDALE opposed the Bill, on the ground that it encouraged monopolies which were destructive to individual enterprise. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that the law which this Bill repealed, viz. the 6th of George I. was a dead letter; and no convic tion had taken place upon it for one hundred years past. He, for his part, had no objection to joint-stock companies, but he did not think it right to give them special advantages. He saw no reason why persons should not lay out their money, collectively as well as individually..to their own advantage. The less that Parliament in. terfered with such companies the better, without lessening the au thority of Parliament. He thought the wiser plan would be. to discourage any interference on its part, and to encourage the prin. cipleof charter. The object of the Bill was to repeal the Act, which ought not to remain any longer on the Statute Book, and to em power the Crown to grant ckarters with less restrictions than heretofore. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the principle on which the Bill was founded was not to grant any more I'ariiamentary favours. lie agreed with his Nub le Friend, that the power of the Crown to grant charters, ought to be more large than it had been ; hut he wished to guard the public against thinking that this Bill, which repealed the Act of 6 George I. at all affected the common law of the country; and he should, at some future stage of the Bill, propose a clause to make this nicer clear. 'Earl a krIVARACOL aadds , tosaa—llß '. 10 4 reAr floe er the introdusrtion of such a dame% thee ft was torn es dangerous to endeavour to make that which was clear appear more clear. He was afraid it might be taken as a precedent in future. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained. The Earl of LAUDERDALE explained. It was merely supposed, he said, by the public, that the 6th Gao. I. was the only bar to the formation of john-stock companies. Now be wished them to he disabused of that idea, and know that joint stock com panies were still subject to the common law. The Ma►quis of LANSDOWN, in adverting to the principle on which joint-stock companies should be formed, thought it highly expedient that their emetics should be by charter from the Crown, provided the Crown did not grant any exclusive privileges to them, or limit their liability—a circumstance which more titan any other would have the elrxt of creating monopolies, would lead to bad consequences, and be productive of serious loss to private persons. Such a power as that he was sure no man could wish to common'. cate to the Crown, without having it in some measure nncier the control of Parliament. Most certainly the granting to joint-stock companies a qualified chance, with restrictions, was the power he would wish the Crown to exercise. In other special cases the Par liament should decide. Lord LIVERPOOL said the power of granting charters had always been part of the prerogative of the Crown it had always been exercised with the Inmost caution, and would, he was con yinced, be used with more precaution after the passing of this Bill than before. (Hear, hear.) If their Lordships looked back, they would find that in the cases of charters granted by the Crown, without liability, scarcely a single abuse had been committed,—' whilst, on the other hand, two-tairds of those founded by Act of Parliament had been abused. The granting of qualified charters under the present Bill, though it did not take away the original power of the Crown, would tend much to limit its exercise. The Bill was then read a second time. APPEALS. Lord LIVERPOOL gaveno - tie; that he would on Friday next submit a motion to the House, on the subject of its Appel'ate Ju. risdiction, with a view to consider bow the present system worked. Several Bills were then forwarded thmugli their respective stages, and the House adjourned at seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, JUNE 21 On the motion of Dr. PHILLIMORE, the House resolved It self into a Committee on the Sullivan Divorce Dill. Coun'cl were called in and witnesses examined. The House resumed, and the Report was ordered to be brought up. DECCAN PRIZE-MONEY. Mr. HUM E presented a petition from Lieutenant-Colonel Simon, complaining of unnecessary delay in the distribution nftlic Deccan prise-money. The petitioner complained of an unwilling_ ness having been manifested by those to whom the distribution of it was entrusted to receive full information from those who had claims upon it. The petitioner further prayed, that inquiry might be instituted by that Hon. House, lu order that there inlet be satisfactory and speedy adjustment of the cases of the several claimants. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 'aid, that the property to which the petition referred did not come under the clot ratter of that pmperty specified in an of the Prize Acts. It cans., under the denommreion of booty. The prize.money was to be dia., tributed for the benefit of the eaptors of that booty ; but in the dis. tribution of it a variety of interests were to be attended to. Inde pendent of the claims of the East India Company, it was neeeparry to ascertain the extent of the property ; and secondly, the number of claimants upon it. The Duke of Wellington and Mr. Arbuth. not had been appointed trustees to adjust those claims, and when he named those two persona, he was satisfied that the interests of the army would not suffer any neglect in the adjustment of the case. They bestowed great labour upon it, free front all motives of personal benefit or aggrandisement whatever. 31ost of the docu, ments were actually drawn up in the handwriting of the Duke of iVellington. They spared no pains to bring the matter to a speedy adjustment.; they had advanced so far as to ar e er t a i n the amount of the prop er ty , and it only remained for them n ex t t o dtterwone the extent oP the tlaims. It was not until the tat of June the pre. sent year that a sehr:ne of distribution pointing out the individual claims had been submitted to them. The House would therefore feel that there was no unnecessary delay on the part of the trustees in their desire to bring the business to an immediate and satisfac tory completion. Dr. LUSHINGTON observed, that notwithstanding the praise bestowed upon the conduct of the trustees, it was not a little re markable that the army did not at all concur in this commendation of their conduct; on the contrary, they expressed their marked dissatisfaction at i.. Their cogdnet he (Dr. Lushington) would not hesitate to assert was unwarrantable, anti without all precedent. It waa the duty of trustees to protect the property and interests of those whose property was intrusted to their charge. It was also evtomary for them to receive all communications, and to receive information in Site most uncircannscribed manner front persons whose interests it was their duty to protect ; but these trustees re hoed to hold that communicetion. The Right /ion. Gantt em n rite Chandler of the Excherter) had said that the Duke of Wei. had drawn up the documents connected telh this trans action in' his own tiand-writing. lie (Dr. Losbi.von) could Seely credit the af section. for it war w di a.:oiChosent that he anw a letter of 'loch uttpataileded insolence add/heed to tAr T.

Geniletnan in his plate—had intended to appoint hie son agent to the trustees. who was not. however, 21 years of age; and it was the opinion of the Law Officers. moreover, that no person could br nominated as agent without the ccintem of the army. lie had reason abut to believe that agency would have been worth some thousand% of pounder Ile hoped the 110114 e would fake the coh duct of tie trustees too theo serious consideration.

The ATTORNEY -GENERAL affirmed the opinion of the Chancellor of the Exchesfaer, and tore testimony to the laborious carrion. of the Duke of Wellingtbn and Mr. Arbuthnot. After a few words from Dr. LUSIIINGTON and .Jr.S lIuME the petition waa ordered to lie en the table. SPANISH t'LAIMS.

Mr. Secretary CAXNINO replied, that there were peculiar dif. eultics in the wa v of the adjustment of these Spanish claims. A nego. list:011 for the indemnification of British creditors on Spain had tar. mi ;wed without an adjustment of these claims; a threat of force WWI tlled ; but, though this threat was not resort e d t o , i t left stants• thing behind to quicken the eatisfietory completion of the demand. A convention grew out of It; aeon cstasiNnence of a negotio eon on the part of Spain, to utis , V the Brawl claimants, • roprf‘ aid was threatened to be made en the Spa:,ish vessels, for tbe saris faction of their claims. By this Ginn - triton. Commiolociers were Rppointei to value those claims on the cart of England and of Spain. From the present state of the treasury of Spain. peculiar s, he npprehe,tlen, would be thrown in the way of lb* adjustment of tflt-se claims. He was naritditd, that nathing would be wanting on the part of our Commissioners, to bring them to a . speedy te:rnination, that could be of either by urgency or by reasonable compromise. COMBINATION LAWS. Mr. MUME pretested a petition from Sheffield, against tb• Combination Laws. • MR. KENRICK. • Mr. TRE3IATNE presented a Petition from Mr. Kenrick, praying for a postponement o the case of Franke, the witnesses in which case had been ordered to attend the House that night, as the .petitioner had not had time either to consult with Cour.sel,, or to prepare testimony to meet and counteract the charge to be preferred. against him. he. I)EYMAN said, that the petition which had been present ed, would bot alter the course which he had pointed out to the House to adopt respecting the case of A. Franks. However, as it was not likely the House would sit to-morrow, and as Mr. Kec. rick complained of not having had an opportunity of preparirg wiz. nesses to meet the charge,andof consulting Counsel, he would gladly consent to let the business lie over until Thuraday. The witnesses on the part of the - charge he intended to prefer, were ready . ; if It were thought proper, be would propose that they be calledon row, and examined In the part he sould act, he wished to be regu. laced )4 the feeling of the House. Every reasonable indulgence ought to be shown 10 Mr. Kenrick. If it were approved of by the House, and if Alt. Kenrick thought it necepory for his due vindi. cation, he would consent to the House hearing the evidence on the part of the prosecution of the charges now, and of peon irtin the evidence on the part of the deteltce to lie over to the next Sessions. Mr. Secretary PEEl.itaid that the present sactgestion of the Eon. and Learned 31eniber was quite a distinct one from the propoot.ian ailtifetiosei for•tc wst...eis of which be harp saisan Potkie.- thator position contained in the motion o f the Honourabl i•,Member were two distinct charges preferred against Mr. Kenrick, either of which might be tried in any of the law courts of the country. It had been stated that Mr. Kenrick had unlawfully impruonexi Franks; if he had dune so, why did not Franks, or those who took an interest in him, institute a prosecution against Mr. Ken rick on the charge of false imprisonment P (Hear, hear.) Ageth, it was ailoged that Mr. Kenrick had libelled Franks in the Dew,- papers. In the same manner it was open to him or his friends to institute a prosecution against him for a libel. Thus, then, it ap peared that both these charges might be tried in the law courts or the country ; and it would be but right for the House to consider and weigh well, before they took up charges which did not lie within their immediate province, but which were cognita"ole before the °knotty tribunals of the country. He (Mr. Peel) put it to the House whether it was possible, with reference tq the principles of justice, to proceed tothe inquiry at present. Ile understood it was only at one o'clock that day that Mr. Kenrick re ceived information that an inquiry was intended. Ile had only the time which elapsed since one o'clock to give instructions to his CounseL This time wax manifestly too little for that purpose, and was still less availing to consider what evidence it may be necessary for him to call, for the purpose of rebutting the allegations whictt may be made against him. It may be necessary for Mr. Kenrick to call witnesses to prove the previous character of Franks; Franks's previous character might have justified Mr. Kenrick's suspicions. It was not the value of the thing stolen which proved the trutp or falsehood of the charge brought against any person. There might be great injustice in a charge against an individual of gaud reputa tion ; but if that individual had a previous bad charecter, the co. lour of the trammel/in would be entirely changed. Under the cir cumstances, Mr. Kenrick might think it advisable to prove that he himself had sustained losses through Franks. To do so, lie would probably find it necessary to produce savants who lived io his Al rvice at the time, but had subsequently left it. Time must be given for the production of these witnesses. As to the proposal of the Hon, and Learned Gentleman to begin the case, to hear the charge. arid wait until next Session for the defence, he was sure the House could not entertain it. (Beat, hear.) It was rot possible to hear the charge, And to lot this charge be circulated throughout the country, and then to postpone hearing the defence or six moutiis. In his opinion there was no alternative between disposing of the ease altogether, cr declining to enter upon h.

(Hear.) Mr. DENMAN said, as it seemed to be the feeling of the Hoes, (manifested during the speech of the Right Honourable Secre my). that it was impossible to proceed in,the second charge against Mr. Kenna this Session, he was unwilling to petsist in any course which the House deemed inconvenient. Ile should not. tuerefors. press foe the attendance of witnesses in the case of Franks this Session, but he should feel it his duty next Session to proc eed with the ease, In its pregame shape or in any other which the eit enmstances may , warrant. (Hear, hear.) Mr. W. IV I NN said a few words which were not distinctly beard in the Gallery. We understood him to repress his concurrence in the propriety of the determination expressed by the Henourabls and LearnAlGentlen.do. On the ellOtio.l of 3lr. DENMAN, the House then resolved it self into a Committee on Omar's case. Mt.

Whatever the opinion of the Committe e should be on Cantor's ease, if the evidence was auLfei :tit to war ' rant a verdict of guilty on both cases, the Committee must agree with him that it was impossible Mr. Kenrick should retain his si tuauon as a Judge.
