Whartow, jadraent was postponed until Friday next Mr. Hebhouse, and a deputation from tie Com mons, brought up the Malta Trade Bill, and a num ber of Private Bills, which were respedively read a first time. _ ..... Lewd FrOLLAND presented a Petition from the Merchants and. Inhabitants of Liverpool, against the East India Bond Bill. His L •rdship observed, that this Petition was signed by sixteen punched most respectable persons; and, of v-irae, *as justly eatitled to the hest consideration of their ler A• this period of the Session it could hardly he ex reAed that a selsieß of such irn 'finance could be gas, itro ; but, in another place to which it was hardly regular to allude, it w .s understood that the affairs of the East India Company were to be brought before the most serious eonsidwatien of Parliament early in the next Session ; he should tberefwe content himself. for the present, with moving, that the Phtitlon do Yee en the ('able." The LORD CIIANCELLOIt alluded to certain informalitie. ir• the Petition. which, in his opinion. precluded its reception. The signatures were rot ' affixed in the proper form to the Petition, and there fore it was impossible to pe , init it to b • laid upon the Table of the House. —lt was not received Upon the order of the day for the second read'ng of the Bill for restrißing the Grant of Offices in Reversin• eing read, Lord ARDEN, in a very low tent of voice, de clared his full conviaion, tLat it was an uscaHed tor I and uenecessary entrenchment up-o 'ye just prtro.. vtives of t* Crown. He could rut for te- the l..tecolletction of the circumstances upon whirr ills Bill was originally founded. He could net bat bear in mind, that an noportunity was taken to force upon the co-sideration of Parliament, a measure which was not adequate to the ebjett which it was proposed to meet. at the same time that it unneces sarily infringed upon the admitted and constitu tional nremgative of his Sovereign. He was awas, that under an improper view of the caw, the cur. doff be then pursued might be utiporular, but he was still conscientiously determined to persevere, and take the swse of the House upon the further proms , of the Bill. Earl GRO'VENOR met the ohjeainns of the Noble Lord with great perspicuity of argoment and observatirn He was astonished, that at such a period of the Sessi , m, at a moment when the public mind demanded the most impattial into the state of the public expenditure. and into the most expeditious means of reform. that such an apposition should be given to a Bill recommended by the general sentiment of the country, and by the unanimous ass-nt of the other House of Parliament. %Yids his Nohle Friend (Lord Arden) he differed. hi* curb, that because the burdens of the people were diminished. therefore the prerogatives of the Crown were infringed. He was prepared to pr me, that great and incalculable dialdeantage to the public accrued from ranting offices in rev • -sion. rhe remuneration winch was it.tended her services actually performed. for valuable benefit to the public weal, was besttmed too often upon those who had no claim upon the nation's boutty, upon children, relatives, and ministerial depend ent:; and hence, an adJiinnal expense was hi cursed, when the whole of those offices. which onglit to he reserved for services aftually perfumed, were improperly bestowed, and the country was obliged to reward with pensions, the men who ha the strongest pretensions to the gra .ts, which, throughout a variety of reversions, were entailed upon others. Beside', it rendered the ueeeviity of prolorging sinecure offices, almost permanent. He put it to the House, whether this was the moment to aJhere to such an unjustifiable system ? Was it at the time when the heart and hand of -very man were wanting for the public defence, wet their Lordship• would rejed a Bill, upon which the pez ple were decided, and which. in its operation and example. must go to diminish the burdens of the country? The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose, to declare his astonihment at the opposition given to the Bill. But be was more astonished at seeing every Mem ber of the present Cabuiet, in that House. absenting himself from the consideration et a measure, to which an apparent Ministerial support was given, to which no previous objeittioo !lad been made, and which was recurninended by tie Speeches from We Throne, both at the termination of the last Session of Parliament and at the opening of the present. bid the King's Ministers shrink from their duty Were they afraid to incur the responsibility of re jetting the present measure; or, not having the courage to se up to their wishes, and to defend us Parliament their designs, they dastardly left to a certain description of their connexions, the odious opposition to a measure, which had, in the other House of Parliament, received. et least, the tacit as sent of their colleagues is office, and to which no man, twenty-four hours ago, could, with any rounds of confidence, have presumed an hostility. he Noble Lurd (Arden) has alluded to die man ner in which this Bill originated : to this be should say, that there never was a legislative measure in troduced to the consideration of Parliament, that so loudly called for the admiration of Ektlisfnen, or was more entitled to the respect Of their Lord- ships. Lord MELVILLE admitted, that there was one point, and cooly one, in which be agreed with the Gentleman who spoke lan, namely, &at the tire who were employed in the service it their So vereign, and enjoyed his coofidesce, ought to be present to defend has :iglus from unst neeroaeh meets. The power of the Crown he would ever preserve ; and in the present susian.e. whatever us popularity might enacts, be would still amino, to defend the lawful prerogatives ut the Crows. (hey IVFDNE .- 1),IY, ALAASI .5, 1807. Contents . Nen Coutemts were sandioned by the whole history of this coun try. The condue of Parliament, under the best and wisest of our Sovereigns, admired the validity of not interfering with this salutary pruiciole. It was said of our great deliverer, King William. that upon an occasion when he tel himself net civilly dealt with, he contented, that amidst all forms of Government, whether of democracy, or of the aris tocratic form, there was nothing so bad as a mired Government ; where the Monarch was 1 , • • • out the means of patronage, negleded and defci,e— less. The Noble Lord d, nied Cie the present Bill diminished, in tae least degree, tire burdens of the people, whilst it trenched upon the just influence of the Crown. Much had been said of the critical state of the time,. H. denied that any cause exist ed for curbing the lan fol preeencions of the Crown. It was indecorous to tell Cie vie t ms, aged, aid adored Monarch. who filled the Coro ia of this coun try, that a wanton outrage should be unnecessarily made upon his power and inflia:nce. Toe Noble Lord cooeluded by asserting, that it was his opioion to take the sense of the House upon this measure ; wtich he was determined. under every odium, to oppose in every stage. Lord HOLLAND gave full credit to the manly manner in which the Noble Viscount ( supported the view of the snbjed, as it appeared to him. It was a striking contrast to the condud of those Ministers wim had given the measure a 'anvi -1 out support, and who now abandoned it, Ma twil -1 ner the most unprecedented in the history of Parlia ment, and t'w most pitiful to their charafters as public men. Was it nothing to declare to the Coun try, that the very measure which it fancied as a pre liminery step to ulterior examination and reform, was, without toe slightest previent, intimation, op p wed by the adherents of a Ministry, who, in the speech put by them into the mouth of the /love re .en. had strenuously recommended the adoption or , s Identical measete t H the opposition was writ wounded. there could he no o'sjedion to agree in the motion which he would make for adjourning the d'scu,sion, on the second reading of the Bill, until to-morrow. The Noble Lord then moved the adjournment : _ _ The . l...irl of LAUDERDALE read extraes from the King's smogs, both at the conclusion of the last Parliament, and at the opening of the present Session, together with the votes of the House of Commons, when Mr. Bankes, as Chairman of the Committee of Finance, b7wight in the present Bill. He also contended :.:s' thi s wa s the only measure t» t% bids the K;og's speech could refer, inasmuch es it was impossible for Cie Crown to he acquainted with any A& of that Committee, save through the votes of either House of Paths- Mitt. Lord mi:LyILLE and Earl GROSVENOR mutually explained. Earl SELKIRK considered the present Bill only as a commencement in removing the existing oh. stru!tion Th• public were of the same opinion ; and, ineretore. be protested against an o f position to the. which the coun:ry did, and had a right t • ex- Pea Lord BO RINGDON observed, that he differed with relu2aiice from those frifmds, with whim) he was, on most oczasions, happy to coincide ; but he cornsidered cie opposition to the present Bill, so ree imrnentied by speeches from the Throne, and by tie as,ent of the House of Commons, a meat ungracious ael, and calculated t.i excite the disgust of the pc .ple. Upon the veto°, being put, strangers were ordered to withdraw; but we learned that the question of adjournment was negatived, and that upon A lamina for reading the bill a second time this day three months, a division toot place, and the numbere were : 15 M jerky arie.t the 881 6 After some routine business the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. A message from the Lords announced their Lord ships' assent to the Frogmore Lands Bill, the Woel. len Manotaaur rs' Bill, the Coffee Ware'lousing Bill, the British Fishery, and the Windsor Forest B lls. The Consolidated Fond Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. Ihe For. , gn Goods Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. Huiltisson brought in a Bill to permit Mer chants to purchase warehouses upon legal quays. Read a first, and ordered to be read a 5000114.1 time to-morrow. The Military Canal Bill was reported ; and upon this occasion a Member proposed, the some com pensation should be given to persons i• jured by the Canal passing through their lands; but not hiving any Petition to present, or Clause made out, be was told by the SPEAKER that he might prop..m Clause fee that purpose upon the thud reading. The Report of the Committee of Siapply sira brought up, and Bills ordered to be brought in con formably to the resolutions thereof. The Swedish Herring., the Silk Duty. and the Irish Spirit Drawback Suspension Hillis were severally reported, gla ordered to be read a third time.

Oa the Order of the Day iwing read for taking the Report of this Rill into father consideration, Mr. IIAITIF.3 GIDDY spoke aga;nst the prir.ciple of the Bill, )tit in a manner not very audible to the gallery. He seemed to think the mode proposed by it of giving instruiion to the poorer orders of the .I,m ty, would t-nd to make people become co lt lei..:,s, and encourage 'editions combinations and practices. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH defended the principle of i-struning all cl of society. and tf. .ught that those who opposed it must necessarily fsutid th,ir Arguments upon mistake. Selitiun. it it was at all to he propagated or encouraged by int:ruc tian or general knowledge, was much more likely t•• tie sr, by its being communicated by the ear. than it world he whea conveyed by the eye. It appeared to him that one ill intentioned man, dis posed to propagate sedition. might do intin•iely more mischief, by inflaming the passions of the peo ple by sedition. harangues, than could be done by their reading the most infleasetasoeyeedgeeditioue pamphlets ; and it was surely much better to counteraa seditious pamphlets. by their being able to read others of a contrary tendency, than to hire men to make speeches, so as to put down the effea of seditious harangues. If the Government of a country were afraid of making the people en lightened and well-informed, he really diu tit see , hew they could possibly stop short of wishing that they (the people) had no understandi..gs at all. For what reason were we to supp we that all pamphlets were to have a dangerous tendency f What arguments could be used to thew that the reading of pamphlets would encourage theft, pro. a rte sedition, or tend to a mispeading of the SOY* pan ? He knew of no such pamphlets being in ex:stence. Was it not ran er more probable that all these evils would arise from the lower orders of the people spending their time in public-basses. where neither reading nor writiag was to be &until • Nothing bad could le appshended Erode reading 'and writing being geneidly ISseemicated amongst all classes of society; because they would prove incentives to • iie, rather than to vice. Upou toe whole, he pro , . ss..l himself a friend to the props. gation of learning amongst the poor ; and there• fore hoped that the report would be taken into further consideration, and that the Bill would ;meet with no further opposition. The question being again put from the Chair. it was agreed t• ; and the House accordingly pro. ceeded to discuss the several amendments that had already been made, and to hear the farther improvements and alterations that should be pre. povd. Mr. POLE CAREW objedtd to the clause rela• tire to the purchasing, hiring, err crating buildings for the purpose of giving the requisite sustrudion. He had been told that the Poor's Rates were Wei , mately to he lowered. by enlightening the lower orders of the people; but he was convinced It would have quite a contrary elk& and teed to nothing more than raising the Poor's Rates. and afording them an education beyond what their situations in lite required. That education was certainly best which was nearest adapted te the particular sphere of each individual. Institutions for education were increasing daily, and he saw no occasion ter increas ing their number; the mote especially as be thought small schools were more desirable than large ones ; because, in the latter, immorality was more likely to he imbibed than morality and virtue. for these. and other reasons, he proposed to leave out the words, ' Empowermg Magistrates to rarilsase or hire any buildings or lands whereupon to mod Wilds ings for the purpose of Schools." Mr. WHITBREAD combated the arguments need in support of this Amendment, as being toteisy destitute of foundation, and such as had already been refuted by every argument used upon the sub jed, either in that House or in any Work that had been written upon it. It was an amendment which went absolutely to render the whole Bill inefelual. Wnile the dangers of a refined education were talked of, Gentlemen did not seem to advert, that um education proposed by this Bill was the simple education of reading and writing. Whatever be the sense of the House upon this Amendment. he should own he was anxious such a Bill should pass under legislative authority, to show that Parli ament had decided that education was a good thing to be given, a proper thing to be o'itai..ed. It was a mistake for some M. mhers to suppose that this was a compulsory me.••, me. Would the Hon. Gentleman who recommeoded small schools in pre ference to large ones, propose to have 20 small schools instead of one large school, by way of limit ing the eaneases of the undertaking ? He bad steed, and he would still state, that it was his opi . on it would be better to exalt the chareCter of the labourer so as to make him independent of his fellow. creatures for his livelihood, mud this WAS the mode uninvocely to reduce the Poor's Rates. But whether there w TO Pones Rates or not, he should ever con tend that the instruftion of the poor would tie good. and would be one of the greatest boons their coun try could bestow upon them. When this subject was talked of, he could net help having Scotland always in his mind. IVhat he had read of that country. and the inhabitants thereof, tended strongly to cow firm him in the truth of what he had heard trawl in that House concerning them. He had the art' • rity of the ;Ate Lord Advocate of Scotfana to beat him out to the asseroon. that oati io.o educe' had s• 1 that country p odueed the most ben•F qoences. He might refer those member' of a different opinion upon t tis palm. o that Learned Lord, deiivered duri, Parliament.
