EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANY. To the RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND COMMON COUNCIL. GENTLEXEN-It has been learnt with surprise and regret that a Court of Common Council of the Corporation of London is to be held to-morrow, to resolve on an Opposition to a Bill introduced on behalf of this Company to Parliament. That Resolution it Is however hoped that the Court will not adopt, unless convinced that the Enactment of that Bill must tend to prejudice the Corporate Rights or die Individual Interests of this Metropolis. Allow me, therefore, to apprise you, that the Bill does not create or establish the Company, who arc alr:ady established—nor does it confer on them any one exclusive privilege or right. The Bill is only a Bill to enable the Company to sue and be sued in the name of their Clerk. It therefore cannot be disapproved by the highest legal and financial authorities in either House of Parliament, who have repeatedly declared that such Bills are as convenient to the Public as to Companies—because they facilitate proceedings against Companies if they should incur a debt, or be guilty of any wrong. Nor can the object of the Company be more exceptionable than their Bill. That sole object is to advance Money on Goods, at Legal Interest, to Persons who need Temporary Loans. It origi nated in the just complaints made by the poor, as well as trades. men and manufacturers, of great difficulty in obtaining occa. sional resistance without the payment of excessive Interest and a ruinous lose. To the extent of ten pounds Pawnbrokers are allowed to lend money on goods; and the Company will be compelled by the Bill to charge twenty per cent. less interest than Pawnbrokers on all advances to that amount. By that abmement of twenty per cent. the Company will of course proportionably and greatly relieve the very indigent, as well as diminish the number of crimes, which the facilities afforded for a deposit of stolen goods has long tended to increase. _ _ But a vast multitude of persons daily need the advance of lar. ger sums than 101. and they have no means of supply, but by ap plication to usurious money lenders or to Pawnbrokers, who will advance such greater sums, but charge fifteen or twenty per cent. on the money advanced. That industrious and numerous class the Company will especially assist ; for to all such persons they will lend money at five per cent., making no other charge than such legal charge for warehousing as will just reimburse that expense. To you it must be obvious that a Company with such objects must be a public benefit rather than an offence; and that it is a Company which creates no monopoly and will interfere with no Banker, Merchant, Shopkeeper, or Artisan, but which, by assist ing the needy or die industrious in the time of distress, will support individual and public credit, and promote individual comfort and the general good. As, however, the goods deposited with them may occasionally be unredeemed, and the Company may direct their Agents to sell such goods, and charge a moderate commission on the sales—it has ap peared to some Auctioneers employed by Pawnbrokers that their business may be decreased. And it will be for you to determine whether such possible circumstance to very few persons will require or justify the interposition of your Court. You will perceive that Auctioneers generally cannot possibly be affected by the operations of the Company—unless so far as sales of goods at great loss and much expense may r.-metimes be prevented by the accommoda. tion which the Company will afford, by the Loan of Money on Goods, that must otherwise be rather .tacrilieed than sold. Indeed the Company in some measure will co-operate with your Court, who promote the exertions of young Tradesmen by the loan of money, and who thereby hare frequently produced moat useful results. After this correct and candid statement of the objects of the Com pany and of their Bill, it is hoped that you will not allow the Court and the Corporation of London to intermeddle in this matter, eor to interfere in the manner proposed ; but that you will rather consider the Company and their Bill entitled to your individual approbation I and to public support. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your devoted obedient Servant, JOHN HINDE, Chief Clerk.

A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of / - 1 the Guildhall of the CATO London, on Friday, the 11th slay ,Of March. 1825, Rerolved unanimously, That this Court has learnt, with much concern, that there Is a Bill now pending in Parliamehe, for granting exclusive powers and t b i , vi n leges to a Company form ander the name of the Equitable Batik Company. That the said Bill mold, if parsed into a law, establish a dun. gerous monopoly, inconsistenterido the sound and just principles of trade, and highly prejudicialmthe trading interests. That the power, wealth, wad 'prosperity of this nation essentially depend& upon its trade and ceptreerce, and ix best promoted and upheld by free and open competition. That the establishment orPublic Companies where individual capital, enterprise, and exertion are sufficient, is consistent with the sound end 'julit Pr insliptei amid*, hurtful and often ruinous to thee., engaged, aieg wiewhave polpiety embarked therein, and highly injuries, to the ossimaisky at large, tending to check industry and • ingenuity, by devolve* the hopes and prospects, which are the , beat incentives to Insist asertiin. That no just gnisteels wlesieleg %me been advanced for the form. shun of such a menapeily I keittlea projectors appear, on the con tntry. to have founded t ABM to support by throwing a general and indiscriminate imputed. of fradti and dishonesty upon a whole class of individuals gailft ss Pawnbrokers, and setting up a pretence (to nee their ownieltif " compassion for the Poor, and indignation at the fm oppreesions to which the necessi tous are subject." ' l :' - '' That, at the same time eltat sea pretences have been ostenta tiously set forth, ft is nomeleiser tan extensive system of jobbing acid traffic in the Shares of the id Company has been carried on, by wheals many of the ) irectotieendAtthseribers have realised large **IL .. Jr • • That it is not the Pawnbrokers that the said Company will, or is intended chiefly to, affect, but, in a much greater degree, Aler chants, Agents, Factors, Brokers, Warehousemen, Auctioneers, • and others, who in the regular entree of business make advances upon Property consigned to them—it being the avowed intentions of the said Company to have " a Sale Department," and, as they themselves state, " to advance a reasonable amount upon goods in• tended fer sale, and to be sold, by the Company ; deducting their advances, interest at 5 per cent., charges, and usual commission, out of the proceeds." That the establishment of such a monopoly must therefore affect the whole body of traders; that with such a Capital they may, by • temporary sacrifice, destroy all competition, to the ruin of thou sands, and then appropriate to themselves, under the head of charges and commissions, large profits, beyond the legal interest upon their Capital, and the Public would be entirely at their mercy. That the said Project has given rise to various others, and ex cited • general and pernicious spirit of gambling and jobbing, de structive to the regular, settled, and patient habits of industry, and prod uetive of the most serious evils. Resolved, that Petitions be presented to both Houses of Parlia ment, praying that the said Bill may not be passed into a Law, and that they may be heard, either by themselves, some one or more of them, and by their Counsel, Agents, and Witnesses, against the same; and praying that they will institute nn inquiry respecting the formation of the said Company—the Appropriation of the Shares--whether any and what advantage has been made of the same—and what number now remain in the possession of the Directors and Subscribers.

One of the petitions was from John Stuithers, a toll-collector, and prayed that, if the Bill should pass, compensation may be granted to him. Ale. C. CALVERT presented a similar petition front SOO per sons residing in the precincts of the intendedl)ocks. The petitioners declared, that if the Bill passed into a law it would bring utter ruin on theni and their families. The petitioners also urged their long residence in their present houses as • reason why they ought not now to be disturbed. The Honourable Member then presented two similar petitions, one tram the churchwardens and other in habitants of the parish of St. Botolph ; the other petition was from the watermen of Irongate Ferry.—The petitiOns were all re ferred to the Committee on the Bill.—The Honourable Member then moved, that the Committee on the St. Katherine's Docks Bill be an open one, and that all Members who may attend it have' voices on the question being put from the Chair. Mr. P. GRENFELL ezeressed his decided opposition to it. Mr. HUME saw no reason why such a proposition on so short a notice should be agreed to ; he would therefore oppose it. Mr. N. CA LVERP supported it; he thought it wrong that that those who were interested, and those only, should vote, or that I any Member be prevented from voting because he had not been named on the Committee. The Hon. Gentleman went on to say, that on the first division in the Committee on the Bill, two Members came in and supported it, though they had not .leard one word on the question ; let it not be sail that the opponents acted so, far from it ; he always attended, and never but when he did attend, would he ask to vote. The lion. Gentleman then alluded to the circumstance mentioned a few nights ago by him, that four Mem bers of the eight who formed the n.ajority in the Committee had been subscribers to the undertaking • two of them still continued so ; the other two had satisfied hint, because they told him, and he believed them, that they bad now no connection with the Company. Another reason for his wishing to open the Committee was, that it would counteract the influence of those interested ; they would, as it were, be merged in the votes of the other Members ; this was the more necessary, as the promoters of any scheme named for the Committee any Members they pleased ; and these, though not themselves subscribers—though not appearing in their own names, may still have an interest. Nothing was more common than for a Member to disclaim connection with a project, whilst at the same time marry of his family were deeply interested in it. An lion. MEMBER said a few words from under the Gallery ; we understood him to say, that he was a Member of the Committee, and that his vote was objected to, though he assured the (louse he had no interest one way or the other. Mr. CURIVEN was also on the Committee, end thought no Member ought to vote on any question, unless he attended for a certain time previous to the division. Mr..III.iNNINO made a few observations, the purport of which'( we were unable to collect. I•HE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. LXIL was published YESTERDAY. This day is published, in post Ben. price its.

Lord FOLKESTONE was favourable to the motion for opening the Committee. Those who objected to Members voting on a Committee without having attended all through, were touzhing on very delicate grounds; they might as well say that no Member of the House should vote unless he had heard the entire debate on the question. (Hear, hear.) For his own part, he did nut think much turned on the number of Members on a Committee; more was to be apprehended from the manner of their selection. (Hear, hear.) In the present case all Members for maritime counties were included to the Committee, because it was well kr.own they were favourable to the scheme ; and now when a proposition was made to admit others, it was met with an opposition which he must designate a very ungracious one. The Hon. Member who so op. posed had, no doubt, good reason for it. They were well pleased with the selection already made. Mr. GRENIELL explained. Mr. Alderman HE YOATE said, the framers of a scheme could select everything favourable to it; they now succeeded in getting on their Committee all Members for maritime counties, and passed over all those returned for inland counties. True it was, they made an exception in favour of the Member for Warwick, and why ? because last Session be supported the measure. The Mem ber for Shrewsbury, on the other hand, who opposed it, was omit. ted. Such were the exertions made to pass the present Bill, that various persons were despatched to the maritime towr.s for the pur pose of getting up petitions in favour of it. The worthy Alderman called on the House to interfere. Any system must be better than the present. Might not the Rouse strike out some mode of icsur. ing impartiality ? Perhaps it would be advisable to take into their own hands altogether the naming of the Committee. With regard to what had been said about Members voting who did not attend, his firm conviction was, that the Members who did not attend ge nerally acted with more impartiality, and did justice between party and party, more fully than those who never left the Comm i tte e . room. On a late occasion, he observed eight Members who from day to day sat it out, and never for a moment did they quit their pus; if it were necessary he could give their names. Again, he must repeat, that time most regular in their attendance were the most partial (a laugh), and that those who came in accidentally were tar more just than them. (A laugh.) HUSKISS()N said lie could not boast of so much ex perience as to the practice before Committees as the worthy Alderman, who certainly would have used a strong argument, and made out a good ease, if he established that those who did not attend, and consequently knew nothing of the matte; could give a more fair and just vote than the Mem bers - who had heard all con. netted with it. (A laugh.) The present Bill was one of very general interest; he had himself voted fur the second reading, be cause he thought it must serve the commerce of the country ; there. fore it was that he gave it his support, and would continue to give it. The measure embraced not alone the interests of the maritime counties but of all others; and though the worthy Alderman ob jected to the Member for ‘Varwiek, he would ask, had not Warwick a connection with London rid what was going on there? Again, he would repeat that he would vote for the measure on public grounds. The Right Hon. Gentleman thought it unwise to be in ' terfering with the practice of Parliament on every occasion; and, above all, he deprecated the daily discussions that were carried on. (Hear, hear.) It was wrong to impugn on every occasion the motives of lion. Members; they had to attend to the interests of their Constituents, and in the discharge of their duty a serious responsibility devolved on them. They were the Representatives of others, and as such ought they to be recarder!. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by declaring his preference for the ancient practice of Parliament: he slid pot wish to see new regula. lions daily imposed ; and he thought lion.

(Hear aid ladgfiter.) He hail been con cerned in many projects, but he as•nted the House that tilts paragraph 6nit conveyed Whim the information that any suck un dertakings were even in contemplation.

Mr. JOHN SMITH, in presenting a petition from a Medical Gentleman on the subject of the Quarantine Laws, tnade same ob. serrations, which were from the noise in the gallery nearly in audible. We understood Lim to be lauding the ability and pro fessional skill of the Gentleman whose petition he presented, but contending at the same time that the question was not so much one of medical opinion as of numerous and unquestioned evidence. Mr. WALLACE said. the question was one of great difficulty, and he had felt the necessity of a full investigation. He could tot however, after all he had heard upon the subject, recommend a total abolition of those safeguards which had been hitherto thought necessary. Let the House but consider the lamentable come gurneys which would ensue in case of any introduction of the plague into this country ; and he was sure, when physician■ still admitted the probability of it, that they would not sanction any weeping destruction of the present precautions. The Quarantine Laws had been celled vexatious and expensive : they bad been charged with causing unnecessary delays and retarding the exten sion of commerce ; but he felt that ell that could be done with, safety was contained in the Bill now before the House. After a few words from Mr. HUME and Mr. SMITH the Tull ' don from Dr. Charles Maclean was brought up, and laid upor the table. CRUELTY TO ANLMALS. Mr. F. BUXTON prtsented petitions front the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth ; and the butchers and drovers of Smithfield, :n flivour of the Cruelty to Animals Prevention Bill. The Ho:-.

DUTY ON COALS. Sir T. ACTA SD presented petitions from several places In Devon against the Duties on coals. ROMAN CATHOLICS. The game Honourable Gentleman, in presenting a petition from the Archdeacon and Clergy of Exeter, against any further conces sions to the Catholics, disclaimed any participation in the semi. moots of the petitioners. He had thonght it Ids duty to present the petition ; but in conformity with the opinions he had held since he had the honour of a scat in that House, he could not, from a sense of its great importance to the welfare of Ireland, oppose the Emancipation of the Roman Catholics (Hear, hear. the peti tion then laid upon the table. TOBACCO DUTY. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Belfast, praying for a reduction of the duty on tobacco. There was no branch of taxa tion that more cramped the trade of the country than this excessive duty. The present duty was four shillings a pound. and tb• pent tioners prayed for its reduction to two shillings, with which :hey declared they would be content. The present high rate tended to encourage and increase that strut,;gling which the Right Hen. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer so much tle3recated.— . Laid on the table. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. hilt. EVANS presented five petitions—from Rotherham, ut Yorkshire, from Teignmouth, 3larv-la-bonne, Richmond, and from a town in Cornwall, in favour or a Bill forbidding Cruelty to Animals. IRON DUTY. Mr. LAM'I.EY presented a petition from the Chamber of Cam. mace of Birmingham, pnayiap, for a reduction of the duty co Foreign Iron, Copper, Tin. &c. Mr. LITTLETON said, that he had consulted with mar y persons of the windy (Stafford) which he had the honrur to trot', sent, extensively concerned in the iron trade; they were satisfied that the resolutions which his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Huskisson) would in a few days submit to the House, for the pro posed reduction of duty, would materially Wive ocr manufacturing interests. As the system at present stood, the raw material was at so high a price that the manufacturer was greatly impeded and re tarded in his trade. The high duty had the effect of leaving many of the orders given to them unexecuted, and it diminished the de mand. It was thefore expedient to cheapen the raw material in order to give encoragement to the industry of the manufacturer. Mr. PELHA 31 approved of the intended reduction : it was con. formable to those principles of free trade on which Government had acted in other departments of our trade and manufactures--prin. capita which, in their extension, would render more se:vice to the country than had been rendered to it by any former Administration. Mr. HIUSHISSON was unwilling at present to enter fully tats the measures which government intended to introduce relative. to the duty on iron. In a few days he would go more at large ietcrthe prin ciples on which they proposed &change of dutr on the raw material. Before the commencement of the Session his Hoc. Friend (Mr. Lit tleton) would give him credit for having paid marked attention to thus subject. He was now prepared to propose such a change as the protecting trade would point out, and in his opiroon mace ne cessary. Certainly great inconvenience had arisen horn the defi ciency of supply, which was inadequate to the demand, and which necessarily raised the price of the raw material most inconveniently high. It was the intention of Government to extend the proposed change not only to iron but to copper. and to afford facility for the importation of it into this country. I. hear.) The resolutions would go the leng•ti of adapting such a plan as would also admit beau, tin, and other foreign onperals. This was properness; with A view to promote the general intestine of the country, and although a temporary inconvenience might arise to a few, he hopsd the) would not offer an opposition to the change, but Would ev.r.ce that ' readiness which he had found to prevail io other persons to sacri3ec partial toconvenience to the public good. (Hear. hear.) The situation of this country rendered the pitionaed alteration expedient it was imperative on them to do so, in order to act conantently with what they had done away in other departments of trade,whicb was the removal of what had been called protecting attn.', but wkat featly amounted to restrictions, and fettered that trade and eurninerre wnicn it was their duty to encourage and extend. Fiat) nest week he I would bring the subject before the /lease. S'irß.
