The Earl of LAIIDERDA LE presented • petition from the IPlPlSPrlotors of the Has Light Company at Northampton, praying hat the Herten' Oaa Light Hill may not pass into a law. The Ph* Earl presented similar petitions from thc Proprietors of the dial Liglit Companies of Glasgow and Leeds, and also front the inhaitejts of Leda ; as did the Earl of ItoseLe it, from the Mayer, Aldermen, and Iturgesses of Liverpool, praying that the town of Liverpool may be exempted from the operation of the Act of which were severally laid on the table. WELCH JUDICA'TURE. Lord CA WDOit postponed the motion of which he had given lathe, relative to Wakh Judicature, until Monday nest. INSUBNECTII ACT—(I BELA N D). The Earl of LIVERPI MIL said that hermit. in pursuance of the notice that he hod given, to move for the appointment of • Com mittee to inquire into the state of those districts In Ireland that wore sow under the operation of the Insurrection Act. A Coin. twine, for • similar purpose had been moved for and appointed by the other Ilona of Parliament, and one great object tor the op.. poisouent of these Committees was to give information to Parlia ment en the important subject that they were to investigate. Their Lon:ships would recollect that Ministers had stated last year, that should the Insurrection Act be again called for, they would give the fullest information respecting the state of the districts that re mitted it. The Noble Earl then moved, that a Select Committee be appointed to in9u ire into the nature and extent of the disturbances In those districts in Ireland that were under the operation of the Insurrection Act. ..... . . The Marquis of LANSISOIVN observed that it was a salisfac ion— a melanchnly satisfaction indeed—to know that his Majesty's Ninistan had at leogth consented to admit some mode of inquiry tau the state of the disturbances in Ireland. which they had been fm so long a time anxious to escape from. By this means their Lnnlehips would be enabled in some deem to arrive at infor mation that would enable them to judge upon what grounds that desperate measure, the Insurrection Act, had been resorted to. Now, after so many years delay, inquiry was sought for respeetirig that malamute country, and from a quarter too that would probably Os the assent of their hardships. Even under those circumstances, and upon the terms proposed. it was a source of satisfaction to his to have inquiry instituted ; although he could not entertain the hope that, in its present fortn, it would include that extensive investigation which would 'seek the root of the evil, and whirl would give satisfaction either to the House or the country. The inquiry in question would not go to the real constitutional remedy; it would not probe the woulol to the bottom; it would only touch the surface of it. But his object in rising on the present oxseion, was more for the purpose (Nuking if it were not expedient WS inquire more generally into the evils that afflict Ireland ? and whether their Lordships were not hound to adopt • &more couture beware, form of words, and to Institute • more extensive measure? He felt this necessity so strongly, that he should be compelled, be fore besot down, to move an amendment, founded no that opinion ; for, if it only extended to the districts alluded to. he contended that the inquiry would be inefficient ; fur neither the (louse nor the Uovertmient need be told that there was but a shade of difference 'listing between the districts that were within, and those that were out of the pale of the operation of the Insurrection Act ; but • thin partition was erected between • and many which were now not tinder its influence, have been sad might he again subject to it. roles, their Lordships investigated the whole question, and inquired into the state of every part of Ireland, they would do but little. Would the Noble Earl (Liverpool) say that there wu any pan of Ireland where the Insurrection Act might not be in force next rear ? The Act, wherever It wu applied, tended to alienate the affections of the people, and to render their political state less healthy, and the conduct of Ministers, in confining their inquiry to the disturbed districts, reminded him of the course pursued by Esotem Monarchs when an inhabitant of the Harem nliould be so ill as to need the advice of an European physician. The hand only of the invalid la remised to the view of the medical adviser, and the attendants tell him. „ you can judge from of the hand; you have the opportunity of knowing the state of pulsation, and that is all sufficient; without," continued his Lortlxhip, " consider ing that the state of the countenance and various other symptoms were necessary to be ascertained berme a physician can give a sound opinion as to the degree of danger attendant unon his pa ttent'm disorder." So it was with Ministers regarding Ireland; they looked only at the disturbed districts as their reaction fur judging of the whole of this most important question. If he agreed with the measure, it was upon the principle that light. would conic in upon them through this inquiry, and that the various ramifications that it might lead to might ulefinetcly de velops. the whole of the circunistances that afflicted Ireland; hut suit • much longer time would be required in developing them by Nis mode, than by a more extensive inquiry. The Noble Marquis then moved as an amendment, " That • lommittee be appointed to ',Noire into the gebeeal condition of Ireland, and mire particu larly into the nature and extent of the listurbances in the districts under the operation of the Ineurrectio Act." The Noble Marquis, in moving this amendment, stated, ;hat if their Lordehips should adopt • more limited inquiry he would support it; but upon the best consideration he could give to the subject. he thought it would be inadequate to the purnou that it wu intended for. The Earl of 1.1 VP. ft PI N 11, had not many observations to make on the speech of the Noble Marquis ; hut in one or two instances he was wrung. Ile had stated that, at last, Slinisters had insti tuted an inquiry, ineinuating that the King's Government had checked investigation. On that point he had only to refer their Lordships to the Table and to the Statute.book, to show that Minister% had been ready on all occasion* to adopt every tneastere that really had for its object the peace and prosperity of Ireland. He submitted to their Lordships that • general inquiry was nut definite enough. The weeds of hi. motion oily af txted locality, for the Insurrection Act prevailed in various parts of Ireland, and his object was only to cheek in q uiry where none wee necessary. The Noble Marquis could not require wonts wider in the first instance than throe which he had had the honour of sub_ ruining to their Lortlehips • for they embraced the m e anin g th a t an inquiry the moat uniinitterishould be entered upon in those districts where the mischief was must crying ; and to do more this would not only be nugatory, but dangerous ; for he would ask their Lordships if it would net be dangentne to institute inquiries into districts as quiet as any emintics in England, which ails the mac with many parts of Ireland With a view to a sinecre in eairy, lie proposed to their lewdships *look at those parts where the evil wits mom crying, and sift the subject to its fullest extent, and his inquiry would enibrace a wide field, fir the Insurrection Aet prevailed in many parts of Ireland. 11!irlet these circumstances, lie would °opiate the minion of the Noble Marquis. Lord KI NO believed the measure might do some good, but he wished it to be MOM extensive. It was not in the power of the Noble Earl opposite to go into a tinter general inquiry ; becatow if be did, the Noble and Learned Lord on the %I'teileael would sa y, " Don't touch toy Orangemen, these are good Protestants." Every thing hail been mew by hakes for Ireland. She was at first only half conquered; the Union, which was so much talked of, tended' sly to disunite the two countries; the Tithe Comp...

I) begged to he heard for a few minutes: he tad been carried to the C.oninon Mall, by a great majority t the members of the Common Council were elected t annually, and their sentiments were known to be in favour of a re form of Parliament, and it might therefore be urged that the City I was favourable to a reform, otherwise dome members would not be returned. The freeholders of the City of laindrin were not retire- I sewed at all in l'arliament. Indeed, it was impossible that only eight members could sufficiently represent the interests of London, I Westminster, and Southwark. Mr. Alderman Sbl ITII said a few word., which were inaudible' in the gallery. Mr. W. S3lll'll remarked that he had had a great share in the! petition that was presented to that House in the year 17112. in favour of reform. The arguments used in that petition had never been answered. It might truly be said, that whether the City of Lon don wan to he judged by its property, its numbers, or its intern. I gene, that it was unrepresented. The City certainly had a claim fur a larger represertation. Mr. 'l'. W meow and Mr. Aid. BRIDGES said • few words. Lord J. 111 issiEl.l, remarked, that he should certainly have brought forward the question of reform during the present Session of Parlonsient. but that he tl glit a p ost ponement or it till next Session would give it • more favourab le chance of success. Sir It. WILsON thought that a reform in l'arkament was the beat means of destroying Ministerial influence, and for preventing any abuse of power. 111 r. M. A. TA VIAJR presented a petition against the new Beer Bill. Mr. M A BERIN suggested the postponement of the Bill alto- gether until the next Ses.ion of Parliament. Sir E. KNATIIIIIIIII.I , trusted that the observation of the' Honourable Member fur Abingdon would have its weight with the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he coo-1 curled fully in it. The Cif ANCEI.I4 /R of the EXCHEQUER said, that as the'' question had been raised, he would take the opportunity of stating to the House the *sum that he thought it most desirable to pur. sue. Ile was aware that there were many objections to the measure, but he had made such modifications respecting the scale of duties as he thought would give general satisfaction. Therefore, in his, opinion, it would be better to go into a Committee on the Hill that night, when he might state the alterations and amendments it was proposed to make in it, when it might be re-printed, and on Friday next they could go into the Bill itself. Mr. 111151 E observed, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had deviated from his principles, in not having had the Bill re amed m a Committee in the first instance. Alderman WOOD recommended the expediency of going into a Committee up suits on the Bill. Ile thought, however, that a Corn ee up stairs wu the only available one frees which the Bill could he expected to derive timentinient. Mr. H. 1/KI;3I3IOND said that there was one part of the Bill which at least he hoped would be amended ; it MIS that by which it was proposed to raise the duty from two to fear shillings on small beer. Theeflect of this rise in the duty would be to render this beverage, of necessary consumption in Scotland, so dear as not to be purchased by the lower orders of that country. Ile earnestly hoped that part ot the Bill at least would be amended. Mr. MA lIEKLY thought that the duty on malt should equally hear upon brewers and other person", than wise he would move that the Bill be read again that day six months. After a few wonis from Mr. J.:UE.I7ON and Mr. Illase, the the petition was ordered to be laid on the table. Mr. M. A. TAN'IA/It presented • petition from Cirencester, against the Conroy Courts' Bill. In presenting this petition, he begged to express his unwillingness to occupy the time and atten tion of the house in enforcing it, but limply to lay the petition entrusted to hint before the Legislature, and to defer the discussion Ott it until a motion, to which it related, was regularly before the (louse. Mr. 111 . 11 E was desirous of expressing • different opinion front that laid down by the Honourable Member, and was of opinion the time of presenting a petition was the proper time to acquaint the House of its import; and it was also the most saris factory manner of ascertaining the sentiments of the country on particular subjects. Mr. M. A. TA VIA/A said, that he thought merely for himself, and did nut mean to lay down a rule fur regulating the conduct of other Honourable Members on similar occasions. He thought the' custom, as it at present prevailed, of accompanying the presenta tion of • petition with a speech. was attended with mush inconve.' nience, and was therefore unvilling himself to add to that incon venience of which he thought it productive. (Hear, hear.) Mr. 1/AI'EN P 4 /KT presented a petition from Chester, against' negro stavery.--1 /Mem d to be laid on the table and to be printed. Lord C. MANNERS presented a petition fruit the victuallers' of Carlisle against the Beer Bill. loM ALTIIORP presented) a petition from Thomas Flanagan,, of Sligo, in Ireland, complaining of certain proceedings before the' Kings Bench relative to hint. The CHANCELIAM of the EXCHEQUER, on the pre-, sentation of • petition from %Vettford, relative to the licence duties, said that it was the wish and intention of Hover 1111 l ent to place Ireland, an far as regarded these duties, precisely on the same foot.' ing with this country. bit J. N lilV PORT expressed his opinion of the benefit of such a regulation ; it was tine which would materially tend to the int- ' prtivement of that country, by putting down unlicensed public! hours, where conspiracies and combinations were formed at pre sent. . _ . sir J. NEWP()RT preaented a petition from the noblemen and gentlenten of the County of Kilken.ty, agaient the Tithe Compo sition Bill, and praying for a repeal or certain clause* contained therein. Mr. A. ELLIS supported the prayer of the petition. Mr. IiRATTAN presented a petition from the stationers of Dublin, complaining of certain Excise proceedinga. Mr. F. LEWIS stated that there were two requisitions which the law enjoined on stationers and paper merchants; with one of these the stationers complied, and with the other they did not ; the proceedings were adopted in consequence of their nun-compliance with the second condition of the law. Mr. L. FOSTER defended the pmpriety of the Excise proceed ing% in the panicudir case adverted to by the petitioners. Mr. S.

Mr. Ci RTE IS presented a petition from Brandon, against the Excise licence duties. The I'l lA:NCI:IAA /It of the EXCIIEQUER moved the order of the day on the billowing Ilills:—The Customs. Coal, and Linen Iteport, which was brought up and ordered to be read a third bate on Thursday; the Four per Cent. Repayment Bill, the third reading ordered on Thursday; and the Consolidated Fund Hill, the third reading ordered to-morrow. The Right lion. Gentleman Ipostponed the further conside:ation of the Beer Duties ar.d Pub icans' Licences Bill, which was ordered to be printed, and to stand over for a Coniniittee on Friday. ISLE OF :11.117 ItITICS. Mr. IIUSKISSIiN, on the Custom Excise Report having been brought up, wished to advert to what had been said on a former night, relative to the Isle of Mauritius, when he (Mr. 11.) hap pened not to be present in the House. The alteration in the law as it affected that island had been animadverted upon: now he begged leave simply to explain in what that alteration consisted. It consisted in placing that island on a footing with the other Bri tish Colonies, as to the duties paid on the importation of sugar into this country. Hitherto this island was liable to the payment of the same duty as sugar _imported from the East India ; but the dis. tines of that island, the fag greater expense consequent on the exportation of its sugar, and the far greater facilities with which sugar was imported from the West India islands, induced the change of placing them on the same regulation as the other co lonies. There was a still stronger reason—the good faith of this country (fleas, hear), which at the time that island was ceded to his Majesty, was pledged to place that island on the same footing as the other colonies in this respect. The only colourable objection that could he made to it was, that the isle of Illatirmus was not subject to the same restrictions as the West India 0.40111,11, as far as regarded the importation of slaves into it. However, although there was no positive law nn this subject, yet it was almost impas sible fur slaves to be imported into 11. He hoped this explanation would moist) , the House as to the propriety of affording the soma advantage to use isle ot :Osmium' as the other colonies possessed. (lieat, hear.) The clause, to the same effect as expressed in the speech of the Right lion. Gentleman, was then read and agreed to. The Report of the Chelsea Hospital lkll was brought up. Re past ordered to.mosmir. hoed A I.TI/ORP postponed the consideration of the question rrbitive to landlords and tenants in Ireland, until a Committee.i.ow ' gon Irish affairs, kid made its report. He therefore wished that the consideration of it might be podponod to that day six months. 4 klar ra'nf o !hr City ;he Iloune, fru' mu.. I oui.c.ll.

Int tl.: pcLatmuu had LA►►' lIF MI RMANTS* BILL 31r. W/BEIiTS4 IN wished to offer a few observations on the loinie resolving itself into a Committee on the Law of Merchants' ilill. As the ititenst of the British public was affected by this Bill. he felt it it. duty Juicily to oppose it. Mr. 11 ['SKIS:AIN did not think this Bill conflicted with the Warehousing 11111, nor as at All tending to injure the public inte rests. I hi the contrary, he considered it tended mainly to improve our eiminiercial law. A report presented in June last year, recommended this Bill, but slim it was us , late to enter into any avmtpn•henstve legislation. and ■ shoot Bill was then brought in. The present was not a dry technical Bill, but one of great public importance. The relations hetween agent and employer should be distinctly regulated, and it the agent exceeded his instructions he should sour for it. The question here was, if an innocent third piste or the agent erns to stair ? If gffi WI% are only sent to an agent tit sate custody. and lie either sells or pawns them, he docs wrong; but if goal♦ ice so committed to him that he may be con. ondesed the owner, in such cases the factor should not suff•r. It w.is clear that a tailor's abusing hi. trust was a breach I , f confidence, • but all lionset purchaser Mhouid not be the victim of such a breach. leis prunitial ticketed his agent--he gave I be manifestation of sigeney, soil indeed of °s unship -*nil a principal so acting should bear the loss growing out of his agent's neglect or wrong Possession alone of goods was not evidence of personal property in the possession; but in this cases difference existed. Every thing now • s. dime on eosin. Suppose corn and butter were shipped front Irelard, and against it a bill was drawn, and if the bill of lading was shern by the coht..gner to ■ person making advaixes on these I goals, the purchaser should nut Nutlet, but the consigner, who had allowed his agent to stand in the relation which he did towards a person snaking a boom fide advance upon, or purchase of those m inim as the cum might he. Many cases of hardship existed under the present law, as between principal and factor, and the object of, this Bill was to regulate them. Money was not lodged with a factor, but other property. of which sometimes it was difficult to find out whrther bs was the owner or not. Now surely twine inns stireshould be taken to prevent this difficulty. It was stated, that promissory notes and E xc h equer bill s , l o dged with a hanker as de posit., vete held to be exceptions to the general rule of law ; and why cwt extend the same rule to a bill of lading with the rag session of the goods, which bill becanic the syntloil of ownership of the property. It was fit that a third party dealing with such • factor and under such eirc 1111 l SOSOCeII, should he protected in • Lwra fide Advance Oil such prol a The principal could protect himself ; he could restrain the negociabdity of a hill of lining or other bill, and in case of infidelity lie hid die power of punishing hint ; and would it be then, he asked, fair to allow him to operate injury to innocent third parties? Molly not. It was said that this 111th mthh dish at the. Ohjeel of the Warehousing Bill i but that he must deny altogether; it would ninterially facilitate its useful ope ration. As the law now stood, buyers did not know whether fac tors were factors only, or factors and principals, and the object of his Bill was to regulate so necessary a subject. Placed as we were at the western extremity of the uhf world—great as our trade now was, and greater as it would bt.with the new. it was nitro important that we should improve all those advantages which our happy site ation had enabled us to make. Fur these reasons he thought that the Bill should be atippmt.td. SirJ. NEW PIM said that the commerce with Ireland could not be carried tin for an hour, if innocent purchasers were to suffer trout improper agents. Principals had the selection of their agents, And if those agents exceeded their authority, an innocent third potty shall not by made a sufferer. lie thought the nou'e and the country were indebted to the Right lion. Gentleman fur the introduction of so useful a measure. . . . SYKES regretted that this discussion was brought on in the absence of the lion. Members for Medhunit and retertun, whose opinions he wished to hear on this very important subject. This Bill did not alter the relation of consignor or consignee, except inasmuch as would realise the notion id foreign consignors. that if an agent exceeded his instructions they were not to be the sufferers. All the foreign jurists held that third parties making boom fide advances on property pledged to then' were entitled to retain such property till they were reiiiilsorsexL This Bill had his Ihe SOLICITOR-GENERAL felt it his duty to support • Bill which had fur its object the protection of innocent third ' parties. lie would have no objection to give the own( r a power to restrict his commission to his factor, and to place a third party in the twist secure situation. Mr. J. SM ITll said, that few questions required more eonsie-ra lion than the prevent ; and he was obliged to the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Iluskireont for the zeal and ability with which he bid met this question. Difficulties were presented in the digesting Or this measure, but those dilliteulhen would be met and atiewered by the provisions of this Bill'. No factor, except by express com mission, should have the ownership of property confided to him for sale: and as he found there was so little objection to this measure now, he would not trouble the !louse at any greater length. The SPEAKER having lest the Chair, the Howe revolved it self into a Committee of the whole House. The Bill was read a lint time, and the Report was onle red to be received to-morrow. WAREIIOI-'SED WHEAT BILL. ......... ........ Mr. BUSK ISSI /N moved the lirder of the Day for the second reading of the Wvrehoused Mr. HANDLEY las we undtrstond) objected to this Bill. as advents to the agricultural laciest, and introducing new trade. In priEciple and detail he considered it to be equally injurious to the English grower of corn. This Bill might be very good for the constituents of the Right lion. Gentleman (Mr. Iluskisson), but it would prove destructive to the English farmers. Ile should therefore move that this Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. It 1111()11'NE opposed the Bill. Mr. T. WIL.S4tN said, the only objection he could make to the Bill was, if in going into a Committe , •, he wonld allow a dis cussion, and also place the last clause in this Hill first-- he alluded to that with respect to the old bonded wheat. If the High') lion. Gentleman ( .11r. 11 uskisson ) seceded to this proposal, he would sup. port the Bill. Mr. ISSON repelled the insinuation that he brought in this Bill at the suggestion of his constituents. He should hold himself unworthy of a situation under the Crown, if he acted on private and not on public grounds. The fart was, that he had re ceived information from some Wait India merrhanta, stating that flour to a large amount had been i 'sported from Ilanizic and-Ham burgh, which it was intended to ship to the ill'est Indies, and which would pretest the necessity of relying on America for a supply. Hine then there wheat was locked up for years ; it was now in a perishing state; and was it or was it not wise that we should allow foreigners, having flour, to loud it here.. And allow the capitalists, who had property in the bonded corn, the means of reducing it to Moue, and thereby render it an exportable article ? Ile asked if a capital of two millions, lurked up for six or seven years, should not now be allowed at last to fructify ? its the law now stood, the ngotir of the prohibitory system was such, that the corn, even if putrid, was not allowed to be sold for manure or any other object, and was it proper that sonic measure should not be taken to' remedy such a law ? A large quantity of corn had brat damaged at Liverpool; some of it was rendered useless. hot for thelinerevil• trnance of pigs ; sonic of it was reduced to manure. Vet, as the law now stood, even that remnant Emelt a dreadful cordage:ohm could rot be applied to any useful purpose. Now, it Gentlemen would only look at this measure, which seemed to excite so large • I portion of their sensibility, they would see that it really contem plated nothingl, suture than placing the corn in an exportable state. Ile had consulted ninny pvrtons capable of giving him iolirrmation on this subject, and he had found an universal opinion amongst them, that the corn should be preserved in that connition. In this measure too, he' asserted, from a tolerably close acquaintance with the provision, of the Bill, that there was no intention, not only not to infringe the corn laws, but that they were perfectly compatible with the corn laws. His Opinions on these laws were well known, but still it would he tincandtd in him, by a side wind to defeat their object. But while on this subject, he could not avoid adverting to the various feelings oft ;cattlemen on these corn laws, and the present measure. Not one month ago, they were all anxiety and appre hension lest the high price of corn should justify, as the law of average stood, the opening of our ports to foreign corn, and many of the gentlemen who oow so strenuously opposed this Bill, were endeavouring to devise means by which the price of corn could be kept within the legal restraint to importation. The price, however, had fallen a shilling, and now they dreaded a mea sure, in its effects, which would in a slight degree accomplish their original object. No man could anticipate the description of har vest which they were to have • and should it prove unfavourable, the consequences would be., that instead of this petty 444,000 quar ters, the whole stored produce of the Continental sea-ports would be let in upon them. The Right Honourable Member concluded by enuring the House, that, as the Ilepresentative for Liverpool, the failure of this measure was desired by his constituents; but since he could nut yield to their arguments, however deserving of at. motion he had felt it his duty to submit the subject to their consideration, and he hoped it would be adopted by the House. Mr. L. Fl OSTER said that the people of Ireland had no objec tion that England should become the millers of the world; but their only fear was, that like most millers, she might take to her self too large • share. (A laugh.) Ile trusted that the Bill would proceed upon sound principle*, though be could Dot concur with many of its details. Mr. HUSKISSON explained. Sir E. KNATC II admitted that many of the explanations of the Right Honourable Gentleman were perfectly itatisfactory. He, however, was not one of those alarnuists who had waited on the Right Honourable Gentleman to induce him to adopt some mealtime favourable to the agriculturist, and calculated to exclude foreign corn from our markets. Ile trusted that his Honourable Friend would withdraw his amendment, that the Bill might go into a Committee. Sir J. SEBRIUIIT having heard the statement of his Right Honourable Friend, he was convinced that the measure was not in. jurious to the agriculturist ; and as he did not pride himself upon hat consisten:y which never retracted, he should certainly offer no opposition to the measure. Mr. 1,4 HT would oppose the very init steps taken to oppose the present law. Ile thought this question had been argued unfairly by the Right lion. Gentleman. Ile complained or the suffering sustained by British capital as the law now stood, but he had no guarantee that this corn belonged to any British merchant. (liear.) Whatever inconvenience might arise to the holders, it was infinitely more important that the agricist mist should under stand that there was still a security for the landed interest. Mr. Wl/DEJIOUSE did not rise to off:r any opposition to this Bill. It was likely to do some good ; but, situated as he was. he could not help alluding to the extensively erroneous conclusions that hail gone shaved restuirdess she Coen laws t said he eaperwd that before gentlemen condemned the principle of these laws they would look a little for themselves into the subject. Air. ('RI PI'S professed his willingness to smiles,: this measure. The alteration from six to five bushels remosed dl p•• s'•le objec tion to the measure. With respect to the argument of the lion. Member for Oxford (Mr. loickkart) that this corn was not wholly British, it was at least tolerably certain that Bntish merchants hail considerable mortgages on it. Colonel W 001) opposed the Bill. Its principle was, in his opinion, mischievous, though he thought, in point of fact, as far as regarded the sigricultinal interest, it would be inoperative. Mr. Is:SON explained. . ...... Lord ALTIIIMP Clll'CAVeli that this Bill would either not 'fleet the landed interest at all, or so slightly affect it that the shock would nut peculiarly alarm them. With respect to the corn laws, they were, in his surd, wonder! in erroneous and had legisl. , tion, and soon• change in them was most deeply to be desired. Mr. BRIGHT observed, that in this measure there was no vio lation of the principle of the corn laws. The principle of this mea sure was to exclude. and not to admit. Sir J. NEW Pt that with the liialifica!ions proposed he would have no oli!.irclination to support this measure. Mr. PELIIAM made a few observation which were inactlible in the gallery,.. . _ . Mr. SYKES said. if the capital of tiro millions which was locked up, was again t mploved. it timid naturally advance the mercantile interests. 'Fite Bea did not go as Cu as he wished, be.

Sir FRANCIS BURDETT regretted that the I:iglit lion. lien. denial), the President of the Board of Control. did not go further in his motion. The House had heard a great deal of free prin. riples of trade in this country, but he (Sir F. Burdett) wall sorry they heard so much, and that so little was done. The thing of all others to which this principle of free trade sluntlil he exit-no:ed. is corn. The pore of the article that was brought into tlie country, the more would the manufactures be served ; and, Ito far front pro. toeing ill effects, it vomid give a spur to those felt assure( that tire agricultutal interests could not be injured by it. The quantity would be of no importance while quality re mained. Ile widtcd ;n. rely iu vale his asst or the sui•jk et, Lut he Implored the !loose to take a More enttadei view of it. A system or tampering was commits in the country ; it never perse vered is any thing, but it would be better to do ea than to be wa vering, and keeping all iii a meteor uncertainty. lira objection to the Bill sea, that it was too trilling, and he wished that more de. visite measures were adopted. In this country, when so touch was talked or tree trade, he should like to know what trade was free ? Surely . Mere were none so. Ihe Cut/eminent oppairs to stand much in awe of what they called the elllgtlr prejudice on this ject. He believed that it did not exist. He was of opinion that there was more in the !louse than out of it. Iles ohj.rtion to it was not that it did hut interfere with the corn laws, hut that it did not interfere enough. The (JUVeellleent could not bring for ward a question of greater iniportai cr. What the manufacturers did was only to work up, in sonic shape or other, what the agricul turalist ptiatucea,:and as one flourishes the otiter must Nourish with it. Ile trusted and hoped that his Mesty's 31iuiaters would think it their duty to hring the subject b efore the House in such • way as not to be tampered with. The Itill was then read a second time, and ordered to be cam mined on Frills y next. Mr. ‘VAltßil brought up the Report on the County Courts' Bill. _ _ _ After ■ few obeervatioas from Gold A LTHORP, The S I'EAICER left the chair, and the Bill *as re.eonsidered in Committee.

The llmtsr restinted, the Report was received, and the Bill or. deceit to he read a third time on Wednesday nest. hi the notion that the Ilouse resolve itself into a Committee on the Welsh Judicature Bill, Mr.Al.t.t:N stated his sentiments on the Bill. The 'louse then resolved itself into• Committee. The Mouse resumed, sod the Report was ordered to bo received on Friday. MARINE INSURANCE. 31r. , BUXTON having been called on, expressed his unwilling ness to enter ots the subject of which he had given notic.., at so late a period of the evening, if the liaise felt inclines that he should postpone it. (Cries of "go on.") The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to say, that the motion of which he had given notice, had for its object the repeal of so much of the Act of Parlia ment, which gave to the Royal Exchange and London In surance Companies, the exclusive privilege of marine insurance. If a person wished to insure his vessel he was compelled to apply to either of these Companies, which he thought a great hardship, and for which no substantial reason could be assigned. Every other species of insurance was conducted by companies, and he could rot see why this should be excluded front It. A ship owner might insure his ship while buildir.g, or he might insure it when in port, wherever he pleased; it was oily while it was at sea that he was compelled to have recourse to these two chartered cont. panics, and when the risk was greatest he was obliged to go far security to parties whom, perhaps, he did not like. This system besides operated as an extreme hardship on merchants in the country, at Hull for instance. If he was desirous of insuring his ves sel he mast apply to some tune in London to procure an insurance. broker, and to du many oilier matters which it might be said en tailed an expense of 251. per cent., and in the event of any accident. against which he had insured, occurring, he must seek redress of parties of Will/111 he knows nothing, some of whom may be dead, or bankrupts, thereby compelling him to employ attornies fur the re covery of his rights, and all this forsooth because he is driven to give credit to people of whom he, perhaps, knows nothing. Ile thought that the merchant ought to be relieved front such a restric tion, and to be allowed to go where he pleased fur the insurance of his ship and cargo. It might be urged that companies were equally liable to failure with individuals ; this was true, but there certainly was a greater security in a company. If it were necessary, he could clearly establish all the positions with which he had set out. Ile trusted therefore that the merchant would be relieved front thirst difficulties and restraints which had been imposed without any shadow of reason ; and it would be a means of opening a new field of com merce, and of employing the present redundancy of capital, and would al-o bring into the country many foreign insurers who were row kept out from being compiled to resort to parties of whom they knew nothing. The origin of the two ('bartered Marine Insurance Companies was as follows :—ln the year 1720, the Civil List being then greatly in arrest, it was desirable to obtain a supply somewhere, and as the:country could nut be taxed further, these two Companies came forward with ti 1111.0911/. on condition of obtaining this excksive grant; with certnin limitations they were to pay each 300,0001., and if in the course of 31 yeses such a monopoly was found to be pre judicial to the commercial interests of the country, the charter was to be revoked en the repsyment of the money advanced. Now, if it should turn out that these Companies had not fulfilled heir part of the contract, there could be no objection to annul it. In tact they had only paid I 11,0t1W., and had enjoyed the benefit of the monopoly for more than treble the length of the period sripu latex], as it bad now been in existence for 104 years; and if any IGentleman would dispassionately consider the matter, he would ' admit, that instead of its being a benefit to commerce, it was pre judicial. The object of the Hill which he proposed to introduce' was for the purpose of doing away with these restrictions on marine insurance; and he therefore flowed for leave to bring in a Bill repealing so much of the Act of 1720 as gave to the London and Royal Exchange Insurance Companies the exclusive privilege of marine insurance. -- 36.P11 , i13TER remarked, that his lion. Friend had not been vets accurate in the description that be had given of the charter by which these powers were vested in the Insurance Companies to which he had alluded. It was a charter not given for thirtv.une years, but for perpetual succession. The lion. Member had not been correct either in his statement of the money paid by these Companies, as they had advanced each of them 1.90,000/., which was all that was demanded of them, and therefore on that score no ground had been marl; out against them. The attempt that his lion. Friend was then making was no more than an endeavour to confiscate the private rights of the e Companies. If the motion of die lion. Gentlemen were successful it would likewise be the means of destroying Lloyd's Cofer house, without effecting insurances at a lower rate than they are done at present, or conferring on the public any additional security or advantages. Ile contended that there was ariple acennintodation for every species of insurance already, and that thetwo companies had got their charters on con ditions which could not be withdrawn, nut could they be abrogated without the grossest injustice. Mr. Akienuan THO.SISON observed, that be did not see how that branch of our comnierce which related to insurance could be ren. dered inure efficient. The Illon.Gent. was incorrect in stating it r.s a ntonopolv • there were more than 1,5110 men of Ole highest respect ability and property coccemed in it, and the rates at which it was effected were fair and atoderatc. On the latest inquiry the amount insured at Lleyd's only was 21.941,690.1100/. He thought that the interests of the Members composing that Society ought to be con. sidered : the received information from every part of the eyelid, which they disttibuted gratuitously, and their rights would be ma terially affected by any new competition. At present there certainly was no ground disturbing these Companies : there was no Pelt. bon from any body of merchants, who were chiefly interested in it, and he therefore did not think that any case was made out, and as he thought the measure injudicious, he should oppose it. Mr. lISKISSON regretted that the subject had been brought under discussion in the absence of his Right lion. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who. as he was favourable to the Hill which the lion. Mem b er proposed to bring in, of which his opi nions were on record, yet he was sure that he was desirous of bear. jag all the objections that could be urged against it. He was of opinion that compt.nies offered greater security than individuals. ' lie found by the Report made is the year ItilU, that the two char. tered conipanies mile held four one-hundredth parts of the marine insurances that had been effected, and that the other pap parts were held by individuals, the members of Lloyd's; he, theretbre, did not think that these two incorporated companies could be much in jured by the repeal of the Act, as they might always manage to maintain a portion equal to what they had at present. lie thought ' that, notwithstanding what had been said, Parliament had a right to inquire, whether powers which had been granted to companies were beneficial to the public or no ; and it certainly did appear very anomalous, that if a merchant applied to a firm to Insure las vessel, one of them might say, I can do it as an individual, but not as a partner. Ile did think that the power of insuring should be ex tended to joint stock companies and partnerships, as well as to corporatior.s and individuals; no interests could suffer thereby, and the public security aad convenience would be considerably enhanced. Mention had been made of the injury that Lloyd's would sustain; if he thought this he would not advance such sentiments, as be was ready to admit that their ingenuity, their industry, their honourable conduct, their ability and power teflected honour on themselves at.el on the country ; but he certainly nail much swayed by wh.it his Hon. Friend had stated with regard to the appointment of brokers aid townies. Ile niore. over was desirous that parties should be left to their own conve nience. lie was of opinion that he took a right course in bringing the subject hefOre the House. Mr. V. 1;f11:NI:1:1.1, said, that this was the fourth attempt to ale within a few years to destroy tilts Charter. On the last he remembered that it was thrown out ; it was in 'MI, anti he voted in the majority with Mr. Percival. the then Minister, Sir %%Gibbs and Sir T. Plower, the Attorney and Solicitor General.. tie therjore was convinced that he stood on high legal ground in the ' oppeaition that he should give to the carrying then,, di this 'WI. 111 N4l lON said, the Act passed in the year 1719, upon this milij,et. did not tie up the hands of the 'loose. It left them at perivet libery to take any practical measures they ini.ttit deem expedient for the piddle good. For this they Kid (specially provid e d in th e 16:11 section our the Act.

If its object ars to Inter ul•tnances eifectisl by c‘tetedve compardes, he aeuld maintain it toiled ; if it ass the tlesin . of Par:iament to prohibit iminranees Inv private individuals, it failed—it could lint attain this object; it would be at once sties-tang the value of money, and changing the current of trade. Ile would apps•al to his friend, the llonoutalle Member for PetcT_ borough, and ask if there were tint a thousand actions in one solid. tor's tithee. to 4 . cm:opal:cc of the in/our:owes elVectvil hir independent of these Corporations. These individuals tniglit sure to acy o strut, but the rtimpaniis were 'united to a cerain BOUM nt. The meaning of the clause in the Act •.f Parliame.d was not to give this power to the Corpora.e Bodins for ever. They were allowed enjoy it until Parliament, or the I interferes' to withdraw it; besides, if the trade was thrown open the c o orpo_ rations would Loot be injured, they would still exist as Corisorate Bodies.
