At a time when the advantageous employment of money is so difficult, that it is forced into foreign COUlltliql fur the temporary and uncertain benefit of a higher interest than is &fronted is the English Funds, a more appropriate and secure investment has pre 4ented itself in the formation of a West India Company, which. at the same time that it will give an impulse to long-established sources of British production and wealth, will secure a liberal re turn of profit. This Company is instituted for the purpose of receiving consign ments of West India produce, in return for advances to be rnade on mortgage and other good security, upon such a scale as will afford aa adequate profit on the capital employed g and also of making temporary advances upon the assignment of mortgages bearing co lonial interest, with collateral security. One material circumstance in favour of such an investment is, that the pro Sts of the Company, instead of being diminished, will be considerably increased in the event of war. The eutablishment of this Company will be as advantageous to :ILE :l essons interested in the Colonies as to the Subscribers. It is pateil that immediate activity will be given to the circulation of Colonial property by the advances which the Company will make to parties who can offer adequate security with consignments of produce; this will have the effect of maintaining the fair value of West India Estates, and thus operate favourably on the condi non of the negro population, which is intinuitely connected with, and in s great measure dependent on, the prosperity of the master. It Is proposed that there shall be Eight Presidents and Four Auditors, and the affairs of the Company will be conducted by Twenty-four Directors, of whom Twelve only shall be West India Merchants. The Capital of the Company will be Four 31illions, consisting of Forty Thousand Shares of 1001. each, on which a deposit of lOL is to be paid, 51. thereof at the time of subscribing, and Al. on or before the 31st of May. Further instalments, upon due notice tram the Directors, will be called for, u the business of the Com- Pan_y may require. The Institution having received the approbation of Govern ment, a Biti is preparing fur the purpose of funning a Joint Mock, to he vested is the Company by Act of Parliament, limit log the liability of the Proprietors to the amount of their respec tive Shares. --- Interest at five per cent. on the instalments Will be paid for the tist year ; after which %itch part of the profits, not exceeding three- Mullis, as the Directors may think fit, shall be divided ; and at the end of every seven years, or earlier at their discretion, a propor tion of the reserved profits shall be distributed, by way of bonus, amongst the proprietors. Applications for Shares will-be received by the Board of Ma sagenient, at Mesers..Manningsand Anderdon's, New Dank-build ings, till Saturday, the Elth of May, and will be auswerol by the h'ith of May.

NEV FOll NDLA ND JUDICATURE DILL. On the motion of I :Ai BATHURST. their Lordships resolved ' themselses into a Committee on tt'e Newfoundland Judicature Bill. The Noble Earl stated to their Lordships, that he had adopted the suggestion of the Noble Baron opposite, and had di vided the Bills into two parts. He found that there could be con. siderable alterations necessary in that part of the measure which related to the solemnization of marriage at Newfoundland, which he meant to be the object of one of the Bills. He would then move that it be an instruction to the Committee, to divide the Bill into two parts; which being assented to, his Lordship, in con tinuation, observed, that he intended to propose to the Committee that civil causes, as well as criminal ones, should be tried by a Jury. The manner in which he meant to divide the Bill was, for one part to relate to the celebration of marriage, and the other to the administration of justice. In case a stiffictent number us Jury men could not be procured in criminal trials, be proposed that a Judge should preside, assisted by three Assessors, and in no case was the accused to be found guilty, unless two of the assessors were agreed as to his guilt. In civil cases there would be no As. senors, and there would be an appeal front the Judge who flies' them to the Supreme Court of St. John's. When a Jury could be procured to try civil causes, an appeal was only to take place on questions of law ; but where there was no Jury, then the appeal should embrace both facts and law. Lord HOLLAND thought the amendments founded on the best principles; at the same unie he thought it would answer for the Assessors to perform the ditties of Jurors, instead of acting as Judges, to decide upon the facts. lie thought civil causes also would be better tried by Assessors. lie wished the Noble Earl had proposed in this measure a Legislative Assembly for the ,Island. Earl BATHURST was of opinion that Newfoundland was not fit for a Legislative Asseinblv, and he would always oppose the adoption of it there. He did not know where to stop, if Assessors, according to the Noble Baron's suggestion, were to be placed as Jurors; it would be creating a new principle that he could not concur in, Lord HOLLAND said that ingenuity might probably find • middle name, between Jurors and Assessors, for these persons. Earl BATHURST then moved, that the title of the Bill be, " An Act for the better Adinioistration of Justice i• Newfound land;" which being agreed to, his Lordship observed, that with regard to the second Bill, viz. that which related to marriages, he would move that the amendments in it be printed, and he would, call their Lordships' attention to them on Tue►dayy. The House resumed, the report of both the Bills was received, a•' their Lordships adjounca. HOUSE OF COJIMONS, TscasDAT, 3laY 6. The Speaker took the Chair at four o'clock. STANDING ORDERS. Mr. LAWLEY presented a petition for leave to bring in a Bill for lighting the town of Birmingham with gas. Mr. BRIGHT objected to the petition, observing, that the standing orders of the House relating to private BON had been totally disregarded—treated almost as a dead letter. Ile thought it time to put a stop to such proceedings, and he should oppose the reception in future of any private Bills that were nut brought in within the time proscribed by the standing orders of the House. Mr. H. SU3INER expressed himself to the same effect. Mr. Alderman S3l ITH thought it unfair to wake an example of the present petition without any notice, after haring been so indulgent to many recent private Bills as to waive the enforcement of the standing orders. General IiASCOYNE was of opinion, that the best mode of showing that the House would not suffer their standing orders to be trifled with, was by putting thetu in operation on an occasion like the present. Mr. Alderman HEYGATE wished to remind the House, that they had suffered Mils to be introduced in contravention of the standing orders, which were to be attended with great public and personal inconvenience, such as that recently brought in for the erection of additional docks, where six or seven '.lundred houses were to be pulled down, and yet nothing was they said about standing orders. Ile thought it but fair to allow this petition to be brought up. Mr. ELLIS was inclined to think, that, not to *Maw the Bill to be brought in would be to deal harshly with the petitioners. after the carelessness that the House had shown with regard to the standing orders, in many recent instances. Mr. HUSKISSON said, that if the Honourable Member who presented this petition were to act on his advice he would with draw it. It would be a charity to do so, to the petitioners them selves ; as, even if they were allowed to bring in their Bill, the Session would be over before it could pats through. By that means all the expenses of it would be entailed on them, and no purpose whatever answered. 3lr. LAWLEY begged to be allowed to withdraw the petition. Petition withdrawn. SUSPENSION BRIDGE. Mr. Alderman WOOD preheated three petitions from the light. erranh and watennen of Wapping, against the Suspension Bridge Bill ; against the St. Catherine's Docks 11111 ; and against the Bill fur a Tunnel under the Thames._ laid on the table. ..... SUNDERLAND CO,ll. Colonel DAWKINS presented a petition from King's Lynn, against the Sunderland Coal Bill.—Lard on the table. IRISH MINING COMPANY. Sir J. NEWPORT moved the second reading of the Bill for incorporating the Irish Mining Company. Mr. HUSKISSON objected to it on the same grounds that he should object to all the Rills that were now in progress for the in corporation of the various speculating companies. Ile had no ob. lemon that these bodies should be inourporated to a certain extent, such as enabling them to sue or be sued in the person of any officer appointed fur the purpose ; but beyond that he did not think it right to give them all the exemptions which were generally co,.t ferred on corporations; and he was of opinion, that if people chose to embark in any trading speculation, they ought to be inch. vidually liable for the results of the failure of such speculation in the same manner as if they were merely partners ; he therefore wished that the Honourable ':arooet would postpone the second reading of the Bill, in order that sonic communication might be Inal with Government on the subject. .Me. ELI.IS observes!, Chit if the House were to go on incor porating companies in the way it bad done of late, there would be title else for Parliament to du. 31r. DAWSON said a few words, after which Sir J. NEWPORT agreed to postpone his motion. 'AIISrItALIAN COMPANY. _ . Mr. JOHN SMITH prevented a petition from the Australian Companv.which had been formed for the purpose of cultivating the lambi in New South Wales, praying fur tea ie to bring in a Bill fur their incorporation. lieu. GASCOVNE was desirous of knowing what difference there was in the princildz of the Bill which the present petitioners prayed to bring ni, trout that which hail just been the subject of discussion. Sir :.- 11;A .- AC COFFIN said, that he did not think that Podia. went was the proper place to apply to for this purpose it was a prerogative vested in die Crown. The SPEAKER mooted to be allowed to say a few words. The Standing Order that had been alluded to in the course of the evening was a sessional one, and passed for the purpose of limiting the time of receiving private Bills.in order that time might he given to ascertains better private property or private rights would be of felted by them, and to afford opportunities for giving notice to all parties concerned. This was the sole object of the Standing Order, and private Bills were not received Aiwa certain period. The time occupied in these preliminaries should not prevent the Bill from keeping pace with the duration of public business, and the parties be thereby put to useless and unnecessary expense. The petition was then brought up, and ordered to lie on the 'table. ST.

We should follow the example of the United States, and allow every one who was a good subject to the indulg ence of conscientious scruples. During a period of WO years, oo one Quaker was punished for perjury. Sir J. NE% 'PORT thought that the House should act with li berality in all cues like the present. Mr. CANNING had the highest opinion of the character of the petitioners ; but, unless some distinction were shown between them and all other people, he could not accede to their prayer. Lord J. HI.'SSELL was inclined to pass some general law on this subject, similar to that prevailing in the United States. He did not as yet sufficiendy know the details of the law in the United States, and was not therefore prepared to intioduce any measure tier the present. Mr. S. RICE said, the principle now plight to be enlarged was already known in the province of Laster in Ireland. He was friendly to the adoption of the general principle ; aid the more so when he found that a &min or a Hindoo's evalenee would be received in our Courts of Justice. 31r. J. ill LLI .1 Mr; said there wait this defect, this deformity in our laws, that while in civil causes (be affirmation of Quakers was received, it was not in criminal cases. It was Ms intention, earls in the next Session, to bring the subject forward. The petition was then read. and entered to be printed. • BEER DUTIES. CORBET presented a potation tram a great many of the licensed virtually,. of Shrewsbury, complaining of the recent measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which they prayed might be amended. Lord BELORAVE said he pas requested to support the prayer of the petition, which he did from a conviction that it deserved every attention. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER bad no dirleulty in saying, that if this Bill could not be brought on at an early hour to.tnorruw, he would not press it on. More than that be could not not► pledge himself to. ..... . . Tlietition was read and ordered to be printed. Mr. CORBET presented a petition from the tanners of Shrews. bury, against the Hides and Skins 13i11.--Ordeved to be printed. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from the licensed victu allers of lilanchester end Salford, against the Beer Bill.—Ortbred to be printed. Mr. MUNDAY presented a petition from the inhabitants of .4tiaburn, respecting the Beer Duties. A similar petition was pre- I !tented from the victuallers of Tewkesbury. _ IRISH LINEN BOUNTIES. Lord ENNISIUORE presented a petition from several persons interested in the linen wade, praying that the bounties might not not be taken of. Mr. C. U. HUTCHINSON was of (pinion that the pmer of the petitioners should be complied with. The result of withdraw ing the bounty on linen would be to throw several of the poorest classes out of employment. Such a subject demanded the earnest attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. A great panic was spread throughout the South and West or Ireland, in consequence of the declaration of the Right Honourable Gentleman. He 131 r, Hutchinson) wished to impress this subject on the most serious consideration of the Goranment of this country. Mr. BROWN (Mayo) was favourable to the general measures of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; but Ireland was placed in so anomalous • situation, that measures useful to England would prove the reverse to Ireland. The bounty allowed was only 100,01101. and its withdrawal would throw hundreds out of employment. He therefore hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would seriously consi dar this important matter. Mr. D. HROWNE supported the prayer of the petition, and hoped that if the bounties were to be redacted. the period for doing so would be extended at least to six years. If these bounties were taken off, the transit duties would not follow, and Ireland would be deprived of that protection which her only manufacture now en joyed. He was therefore asionittha that Irish Gentlemen did not give a more effectual opposition to taking off these bounties. Col. BAGWELL said a few words, which we could not dis tinctly hear in the gallery. Mr. W. BECH ER thought that the present state of Ireland should call for an exception to the very proper general principle ad vocated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. If the bounties were taken off, he hoped the period for doing so would be protracted. The petition was then read and ordered to be printol. lACENSED VICTITALUERS. Mr. LYTTLEIOI4 presented a petition from the brewers and the licensed victuallers of Burton-upon-Trent, against the Beer Duties itegulation.--Onlered to be printed.

Mr. CA NNING—In reference to a question put to me the other evening, relative to the views of a large French force said to have arrived at Rio Janeiro, I think it right to state, that altk.ough myself had no apprehension on the 'object, yet In order to satisfy the public, I made the proper inquiries ; and I have now to state, that the destination of that force has been fully accounted fur to me through the French Ambassador. I may add, that the French force at Rio Janeiro only consists of two vessels in place of eight. (Rear, hear.) We have in that quarter a sufficient number of ves. gels to protect our increasing commerce, although they are placed there lint from the slightest apprehension of hostility or danger. It may he also proper for me to sthte, that we have a fiwee in every quarter mom than an over.tuatch for any number of ships at any tonign station. (Ilear, ta fir PUT I ES. Mr. CALCRAFT asked Mr. it odehouse if he intended prem. ing on his motion raitive to the salt Judea. to which se understated the lam? Gentleman replied in the affirmative. CHURCH ESTADLISIMIENT OF IRELAND. Mr. observed he way well aware that many persons might think so large a subject as the church establishment might be much better managed in the discussion, by persons whose opinions were not carried to that extent as to the necessity of a change in that establishment, which he admitted his opinions to be. Such was the exult; of change that he felt to be necessary. that he femed neither the House nor the country would be inclined tug° along with him is their adoption. It was therefore his anxious hope that some other Gentleman, some one with more moderate opinions, would have taken it up; but such was their unwillingness, particularly those of the Irish Gentlemen, that he. who had little personal in terest in t!te matte:, felt reluctantly obliged to do so. He knew he entertained strong opinions upon the subject, anti therefore be was obliged to throw himself on the candour of the House. He feared he should be obliged to draw largely on the patitsee of the House ; but he could assure them, he would not occupy one moment more than was absolutely necessary, to place the whole of the Irish Church Establishment before their notice. Its extent and actual situation could not be believed, except by those wb.) took pains Io see it in all int bearings. He himself had spared no pains to obta.n information, both froc.i public documents and private in formation, coming from the baronfonined persons. Alen Alias inquiries, howeree.

It was rat j wise. it was not politic, to deal with Ireland by the bayonet. 314- 1 nista, should look at the radical cause of these evils. If he could shew the state of the church elezblishreent and the religious insees. tions in Ireland to be at the bottom of all those evils, at was u - Le emany foe him to state t h at this should operate with 311::ist'oe as a sufficient grourel for giving the question the most serious degree of consideration. This was his opinion, and even though h- couLt not make out his case as strongly to the tuuterstanding of other. se he could wish mid as ft appmeedio his own, yet hr would make *et sufficient to prove the existence of great evils, and he would :Lent fore be entitled to the attentiou of the House and the country. Ile weeldallude to the rapers placed s few nights since on the table ye speeting Saeland : a ith regard to that country it had been asserreei again and aerate. from authority on which great reliance we. placed, that the present improved state of Scotland, as fmf*Pstv , i with its situation ebout forty yew, since, was attributed co urtly to the establishment of schools. From this statereent, he. as an individual, differed. Ile could not believe the whole of foie. benefit was to be ascribed to the sehoois. When he considered the subject, he felt satisfied that the change was in a great measure owing to the circumstance of the Scotch people being allowed the.: own religion, which, es it was known to all, Was puttees/Imm re cue country. iVhy not make the same ettempt withregard to leeleul, that wu found to succeed with regard to ? Previous as the time to which he alluded, the system . adopted by this *meter toward, Scotland was one of violence.. i t was not dissimilar toe that used at present towards Indendt it might be a.9nestion with others, others, it was none with him. He lilt pertectly unified, tit e. are their own religion were allowed to dime forming the majority ets the sate, the bat possible cousequenese would follow, wide tins addition, that the mesa eecortry would he maintained 'We is great reduction of our military force. Hs Inuld beg to alletee again to the state of Scotland in the peon 17413-1704, and to allowed to follow the system there acted upon. It was, he des'. re last act of the tecottishParliament, to prowl& fat the estaWisbment of their natioecl religions and that Pullman required the enjoyment of their own religusus opinions. It was this fact, coupled with the establishment of the schools. that causal the change in that nouns:, now found so favourable. U the same system with respect to ?eh, gion were extentled to Ireland, *hat, he asked, woull i.e the ree sult ? Would it not be reasonable to expect this system. L . -us advantageous to Scotland, would be equally beneficial to Indere: Ile had no doubt upon the subject ; he was as certain as that en breathed at the moment he was speaking, that a change in Ireeciat would take place, similar to that admitted to have taken ptice , 11 Scotland. They all saw the loyalty and moral habits of the See:el.; they knew the changes that took place in that country, the iae ore' and labour of that people. Others may doubt it, but he did not, that if the Irish were allowed to enjoy their religious opintoi,e, free tioni any political restrictions, by a parity of remontee. the same alterations would take place in Ireland; fcr there was toot a single brit which would not be cultivated and reedered fertile: aed., in addition, there would be no necusity for keeping up an imineeee establisher - teat, for the support of which he could see no pow:tole reason. Why was the present establishment teamed in Ire:ei What object did it serve? The people were not charged with ..;.- loyalty. God forbid they should ! They were not disloyal to :h: Government of the countrry they were merely dissatisfied with :et state of thing , ' under which they lived. (.k laugh.) Ile would ..-k Itlinisters—were they nut bound to adopt towards Ireland the wore: adopted with regard to Scotland? He would ask, and ionpreu it on them over and over again, if there was any possible reason why Ireland should he lees friendly or less affected to this counuy then Scotland. Ireland would become, if this measure werwassente..: te, equally satisfied and contented. The disturbance which peeve:lt at present, the irritations of the moment, would speedily subside, and all would be tranquil. This was the natural Mune of things it was also natural that nations, like individuals, should Le dttvee to acts of violence and disorder by the deprivation of their com forts; that they should be irritauel when they found thrinseves preauel upon by Government, sir by individuals to whom Giver:- ment permitted the power of pressing upon them. The changes to which he alluded would follow, it the Irish were treated with ::.. 'e:. gene. if they were allowed the choice and selection of their lase priests, and were not compelled to pay those of any idler astabLee: ment. He asked if cendect such as this would nut satisfy the everie that Government was disposed to act fairly and liberally moues them ? Was it not reasonable to suppose, when peace and quiet weri restored, our traders and manufactures would cross the thaen.el, and remove their capital, millions upon minima, to Ireland. ('pen this subject he had not the least doubt. lle was aware he would le;- told of the superior industry and labour of the English. Ile eouil maintain die Irishman to be as active and industrious as the Ere lishman. He slid not know bim at home, but he met the Cotter I relate] in other place*, and when he bad any object in view i.e was as active and industrious as the Englishman, or any Other person could be. If there was any difference between them at home. there was none whatever abroad ; and this very circumstance sheutd, in his opinion, be ground for inquiry. The tine object would undoubtedly be the conveying upon the tint opportunity cartel into the country ; this would be the means of gulag samploymert to the people, and of retaining at home that industry which was ie. present exerted at a distance. The application or capital to the country, even for one year, would he attended with the snort but. ticial results. He was convinced, if tranquillity were restored, at it protection given to them, our manufacturers would prefer emp ley. ang their capital in Ireland, to scattering it upon thew present seal speculations, if any change could be effected tie the Churele, schema danger, and of this he fit perfectly satisfied, the most brut . ..Wl result, would be derived. He lookul 'new the state of the hutch most particularly with this object ie his view. Ile looked to those countries upon the Continent where a diversity of re:k i ri‘Nt, opinions prevailed, where the religion of the King and Court. the: is, the religion sit the State, differed from that of the bulk sat the people. litre lie found no such system acted upon ; dh tt.e Lee ' trary, principle., of an epposite nature were dupe by setae% tneee countries were dereetuL He had made out a list, Like night se thought a strange mice Ile meant one of tolerant and inedmun Governments., and he was burry to say 'hie country :rim :.4u..biat the intolerants. lie suuld begin with Spain; it w:o ;merge the institutions of that country . that no person but Catholic sheuiel be eligible to at.y office or s ituation cavil or td.fitary. lie seta ask, what was the consequence of this system ?

A similar system was acted upon in Porteagel. \Puttee tenantry bene fited by it? The same might be affirnanl of lta:y. Ile map perhaps look at two other kingdoms in the sane retie—beenaara and Sweden. There were in these emu - Aries ante IL toltriLt laws, but latterly several exceptions had been taken to them, and ge 7 vend of these regulations had been evaded, and eituatmers and offices were conferral upon those who were crist.m.tard to them.
