M. GRANT presented a petition from certain individuals of Scotland, against any alteration in the prettensaystem of cur rency in Scotland and Ireland. Similar petitions were presented from a parish laptlawl, by Sir ugh Inftes; and from a parish in the county Forfar, by bar. Monte. Mr. BUSKISSON rose to present a petition from the inhabi tants of Dunse, in Berwick, the prayer of which did not run in the ordinary track of the petitions from that part of the United King dom, which had already preceded it and been presented to this House. There had been received by the House a great many peti• tiona, praying that no alteration might take place in the currency system of Scotland and Ireland ; but this was a petition, signed by about LW persons, expressing the confidence of the petitioners in the wisdom of the measures of this House ; and miring that, in their judgment, great improvement and advantage would be derived to Scotland by adopting the same system respecting the currency of that part of the United Kingdom as had recently been established by Parliament in England, and praying that such an alteration might accordingly be made. It was, he was aware, irregular, at this time, to go into the arguments of the petitioners : bat he could not avoid saying that the reasoning wined was used by them in their petition appeared to him to be very ably and correctly stated. Ile would abstain from expressing any opthion at present on the sut.j.fc., it being now under deliberation by a Committee; but he felt that he should not have been discharging his duty to the peti tioners (of whom he knew nothing), if be had not declared his ap proval of the arguments used by them, which lie was very much disposed to recommend to the serious consideration of the House. The petition was then brought up, read, and ordered to be laid on the table. IMPORTATION OF NORTH WALSHA NI AND DILHAM CANAL COMPANY. Notice iv hereby given, that a nENERAI.

The Committee regret to state, that in con equence of the nearly exhausted state of their Funds, they have been obliged to reduce the scale of allowance to the distressed Silk Weavers, and to give only 51. a week to a man and his wife.

The Committee earnestly press upon the liberal and humane the extrente urgency of the case ; and venture to suggest to those Ladies of distinction, where example would be influential, the propriety of ordering British silks at their mercers, as the meet likely method of fureislung employment foe the dis tressed weavers. .

Mr. HUSKISSfiN presented a petition from the Mayor, Bailiffs, and Burgesses of Liverpool, in which they took notice of the law which had lately been passed, and which was about to come into operation, fur regulating the importation of wrought silk into this country ; and the petitioners particularly adverted to the clause in the Act which confined the importations to the port of London ; and they concluded by praying that the port of Liverpool might not be deprived of the advantages to be derived from the importation of silk. He felt it to be his duty to present this petition to the House, but at the same time he must declare that it was his mis fortune to differ from the prayer of the petitioners. When he con. aldeted that the period to which the operation of the new law was limited was two years only, he really thought the quantity of silk goods which could be imported in that time, though prohibited from being imported in Liverpool, would not do any very material injury either to the shipping or trade of that port. He thought that it was desirable, until some actual experience had been acquired as to the different qualities of silk that would be imported, to confine the importation of them to that port, where the value and nature of the silks was most likely to be best understood, in order to present any violation of the law ; and lie trusted that his consti tuents would not find themselves prejudiced in point of trade by this measure being confined to the port of London, until the re quisite experience should be acquired. On the motion that the petition be laid on the table. Gen. GASCOYNE wished to say a few words before the pe tition should be laid on the table. His Right Hon. Colleague hail stated that the law could not be productive of any material in jury to his constituents, because it was limited to a period el two years. Btu it was not of the particular time that lie (Gen. Gas- Payne) complained; what he objected to was the principle of the measure. He conceived there was much inconsistency between this part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's proceeding. and that for which he was so deservedly entitled to the thanks of the country. The principle adopted in this Bill was tree trade; but yet it was confined to one port, and that under the idea that no person was capable of valuing silk gouda out of that port. But there were persons as capable of valuing silk goods in the port of Liverpool as in any port of England. But what would be the consequence of this measure? Goods generally arrived by assortment; but in that case if the ship should happen to have any silk goods on board, it would not he able to put in at the port to which it was destined, until it had first delivered those silk goods at the port of London; thus the destination of the vessel would be entirely altered, which must be productive of serious inconvenience. He could not see any good reason, from what bad fallen from his Right Hon. Col league, why he should deprive the ports of Liverpool, of Glasgow, of Bristol, and all the other ports of the kingdom, from having all the advantages to be derived from his general system of free trade ; or why on the contrary for two years those ports should be deprived of the importation of silk ; and which system might thereafter be extended to other articles for aught he could tell. He thought there were very good grounds of complaint on the part of his con stituents, and he perfectly agreed with them. The petition was then laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. HUSKISSON presented a similar petition from the trustees of the Liverpool Docks.—Laid upon the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. E.WODEHOUSE presented a petition from several gentle men, Justices of the Peace far the county of Norfolk, praying for an alteration in the game laws. Mr. A. ELLIS presented a petition from the ship-owners resi dent at South Shields, in which they noticed the Reciprocity Duty Bill, and praying that their interests might be protected. Lord CLIVE said, in Consequence of the intended opposition by the lion. Member for Wareham (Mr. Calcraft) to the second read, ing of the Liverpool and Wrmingham Canal Bill, he gave notice that it was intention to move to-morrow that the second reading should be postponed to Tuesday next. BENEFIT SOCIETIES. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a petition front the members of a benefit club called " The Sons of Albion," in which they noticed the Bill contemplated to be passed regarding Benefit Societies, and stating that, in the different Acts of Parliament for the regulation of such societies, there was a dame which directed that any diffe. rence that should arise between any of the members and the Society should be decided by arbitration ; and the petitioners observed, that if this clause should be repealed it would give rise to great litiga tion, and they therefore Frayed that this clause might nut be altered. —Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. LICENSING SYSTEM. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Thos. Edwards, Ir-L.D., and a Magistrate of the county of Surrey, complaining of the abuses of the licensing system. Every body who attended to the contents of the Reports of this House, and particularly to those of the years 1816 and 1817, must be aware of the evils then existing, from the conduct of the Magistrates in granting licenses to public. houses. He was quite aware that it was desirable, if possible, to have a number of well-regulated houses for the accommodation of the public, and which should as much as possible be under such TO. Notations as would preserve public morals and maintain decency and good order. But instead of the system which was establiehlad for that purpose producing this effect, the persons whose duty it was to enforce those regulations were induced, by the great interests which individuals had in the houses to be licensed, to employ Improper means to obtain those licenses, regardless of their character, or of the intention of' the Legislature in establishing the system. It was upon this ground that the House was called upon to remedy and correct those evils which had so long existed. It was wall known to every person that the very granting a Retinae in the neighbourhorel about London, immediately raised the value of the house from BOOT. to 20001. and sometimes NM. It must be evident that this money so applied must be productive in some degree or other to the party; And it was fair to inter that the parties so baying out their money levied the same on the public, in the prices charged for beer, sad by other mai-practices. It was lamentable that a hiseistrete of the county shoold be obliged to 'peak, as he did in this petition, of the conduct of hie brother Magistrates. ()a licensing dap the petiticost stated that he had observed a aeries of jobbing carried ois, -which was altogether disgraceful to the. Magiseracy.of the lull odd that a system of partiality in greeting licenses existed to &Agree quite incredible. In some streets there were ten or swerouthentirill licensed, whilst in another street there has not a ainglo Nome, sad which was owing to the circumstance that bo individual bad lakift the means of preparing the Magistrates to grant. in the laden ins stance, licenses for the houses that applied. In one division these were from 8111) to 1000 public house'. In some places Mere were public houses in clusters, even neat door to each tither, without any regard to public utility ; whilst in other districts, where individual' had applied for years and year.' for licenses, in large and popaloue neighbourhoods, when the convenience of the inhabitants ra (pared such houses to Exist, there was no public-house to be plet with. For his own part he i saw no reason why the selling at twee should be subjected to this species of restraint any more than the selling of tea or coffee At all events he was quite satisfied that the licensing •ystem had produced quite a contrary result trout that which was contemplated ;by the Legislature. In figotlande until within the Inst few years, there was acarcely any difficulty with regard to licenste. Every individual on payMgs falt 81111. tinge was entitled to his license. In England, too, it Any petrol wished to sell tea er coffee, he hod only to pay the fee, and n* ob, jection was made. 'The Excise Officers knew to whom to apply, and in what sit uation the accounts were kept. it nem such Ins , tern were adopted to regulate the selling of %war, he was quits la tidied much good would result front it. Another reason why the licensing system ehnead be put an end to was, that the object for which it was formed fitful be aa effectually attained without it se with it. The laws that evicted, i• dependent of the power of the Magistrates in refusing a licetise. were sufficient to kip the houses proper state of order. In short, every object conommlated tam was in face provided for by other *mates in a snore manner. 'lite pernicious system of jobbing void' cow pre. rei eil would, by the - siesnovil of the course now pursued undet the licensing system, be completely put an end tn. Accord mg to t h e prevent system, a person who bought a haulm for ?OW., and could get a license on the following day, "might after, wards get 12011/. or even 2000/. for the same house; but elthouge this mode of granting licenses was extremely advantageous to Ind ; vidoals who invested large capitals in houses fur that purpose, if operated very much to the disadvantage of . the public, who were obliged to take bad beer because they had no choice ; the licence system had rendered the retail beer trade a monopoly. Among the many improvements which his.:llajgety's ltlinisters had undertaken, he regretted that this subject had ' , ft caught the attention of the Secretary for Home Aft:tirs.. He thought the public officers be, came criminal wlien they neglected to correct pernicioue systems, having it in theirpower to do so. He had on a former evening presented a petition on the same subject from Chichester. where the atones of the system had been carried to an extreme; in which pe. tition it was alleged that the amendment of the licensing system would at once lead to a reduction in the number of alehouse'', and to an improvement in the quality of melt liquor. He thought the peti•ion deserved the attention of the house. Mr. ItiS'I'COURT made an observation, the import o f which did not teach us. Mr. BERNAL presented a petition from an individual named flenege Booth, a victualler, complaining that his license had not been renewed. CORN LAWS. Mr. Secretary PEEL presented a petition from a place in Perth, praying for an alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. LEYCESTER thought it would be desirable to facilitate the distribution of bonded corn. Mr. Secretary PEEL declined entering into soy discurolon ; it appeared to him more advisable to postpone the question. Mr. WESTERN presented a petition from the farmers of Holderness, in the West Riding of the county of York, praying that no alteration might take place in the Com Laws. REPRESENTATION OF SCOTLAND, 31r. ABE KC ItO Rl' rove, according to notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Representation of the City of Edinburgh. The motion was founded on a petition, and the Honourable Member commenced by observing, that it wa s the wish of the petitioners that he should call the ;so entie» of the House to die prayer of the petition, before he engaged In the gene. . , cal principles of the question. He had himse l f given the perttioti the maturest consideration, and lie was fully satisfied both of the magnitude of the grievancee complained of, and of the possibility of their remedy by the means proposed. He wished that the duty of bringing forward the question had . fallen into better hands; lie would, however, endeavour to discharge it to the.best of his ability. He had on a former occasion stated all the details of the grievances arising from the want of a general elective franchise in the city ot Edinburgh. That city had a populatiou of upwards of 100.000 souls, and yet the electors were only 37 in number; nay, the choice of a representative devolved cm s majority of these, or only lo persona. The abuse of this privilege was too scandalous to he de. fended, and the fact was so notorious, that those who sought to amend the system would be met, he was sore, by no direct argu. menta. The main argument against him was, that ureter pretence of seeking an amended representation of the city of Edinburgh. it was endeavoured to work the way towards a complete Parliamentary Refo:m. He should also be asked, he knew, why he di I nut extend the measure to other great towns—Glasgow and Aberdeen ? But he did not mean to conceal, that if the experiment airs to succeed in Edinburgh, he should be very happy to extend the same beech(' still further. Vet, however beneficial a total change might be, he wished for no sudden or alarming innovation. On those grouted* be meant to proceed. Ile was well aware that he should have to encounter the opposition of all those high-mettled anti. reformers who imagine that every alteration is a step toward* revolution. With such persons he was not disposed to argue. But there was another class of persons who, though able to recognize just and salutary principles, were terrified and with held front their adoption by the alarmists ' to whom he had before alluded. To that class he would addresshimselfennicularly. •fle would even declare that he admired the caution and prudence by which they were guided ; and he felt himself bound, before she asked their concurrence in the measures he proposed. to demonstrate at once their justice and their practicability. The proposirien which he submitted to the House was a simple one, and the case ot the city of Edinburgh lel been selected because the Town Council of tutu thy was alone in respect of its elective franchise, and sot associated with other bodies, as in Glasgow. There were othes reasons for comment ng with a particular case ; if the experiment were to succeed, so that 'he new electors should send a respectable and honest Member to Parliament, hopes might then be afforded of the extension of the benefit. as experience would furnish an at. gument in favour of the gradual improvement of the representa tion of Scotland; but if the giving the right of election to tee householders of Edinburgh should lead only to riot and dined r, they who opposed the praline measure would be completely jueritieu in resisting any further reforms There was also another advantage attending the mode of procee ding which he had chosen ;if are defect should be found from practice in alterations new made, they might be qualified or modified in any subeemient changes. But there was another class of persons who, perhaps, might think the present measure so much modified Red restrained as to be vile and conteniptible; that might be the opinion of the young and incoo. ;literate; it might he the opinion of those who were ignorant to human nature, and who were not aware how hard it was to con, ciliate the minds of men, or how wise it was to innovate by slow degree'. That numerous and respectable body of men, whom to should fearlessly designate as the reformers of Scotland, had no objection to a partial measure; on the contrary, they would rejoice in its success, while at the same time aware that if it were defeated the general cause would not be matetially . prejudiced. The course he adopted would leave it in the power or Parliament to pause if any thing objectiunable might arise. It lied lot, laden!, been said of him (Mr. A.) that be was a republican, but it was said that he hao consented to lend himself to the furtherance of republican views ; that assertion he would most absolutely repel; nay, he would is, vile gentlemen to refer to the petition itself, and study both Ca manner and its contents ; there they would find nothing butee simple statement of grievances ' • they would find in it the language of men who were willing to throw themselves at the feet of dta House, and who, so far from entertaining any idea of subverting the constitution, testified in the strongest terms their attachment to it, The mere perusal of the petition would suffice to dissipate many of the prejudices which were excited against the measure. It had been urged, also, by way of argument against him, teat Edinburgh had prospered under the present system, and also that he had not brought forward any instance of malversation on the part of the Magistrates. As to the first point, he was rejoiced a; the increase and prosperity of Edinburgh, but he denied that It Lad thriven from the auspiciouspresence of the Town Council; on the he believed that it had thriven in spite of the Town SinceEmm he had been a Member of that House, many measures p brought forward, the objects of which were to promote e ch o iai n il t r beena ry, the interests ot ldinburgh. In all these cases, in which the pros perity of-that city was in question, the parties anayal egaiest each other were, on one side the Town Council, and on the other the Le. habitants. In all these cases the inhabitants had succeeded; theta views and measures had always obtained the sanction of Parini : meet, notwithstanding the effects of thellouncil to defeat them. When it was said that be had not adduced any instance of abuse, nor brought home the charge of malventatioe to any individual, ha would merely protest against the necessity of so doing.
