HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, MAY 10. Sir O. HILL moved the second reading of the Londonderry Ca. thedral Pepsin Pill. The Hon. Gentleman endeavoured to Justify its policy on the ground of precedent. LUSHINtIiTt IN contended that there was never before this an application to Parliament for the sustentation of any episcopal church. He thought it would be a measure tending to bring the Clergy into disrepute, and that if an explanation had been made to the Archbishop of the state of the church, he would have been bound by his duty to have the repairs made. This was the opinion of an Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Dawson). It had been published in the Newspapers, and he (Dr. Lushington) sea surprised that the promoters of the Bill should have persisted in bringing it forwent. Ile should therefore move the second reading this day six months. Mr. Alderman W()OD said, that he had in his hand the reso lutions of the Mayor and Corporation of Londonderry, explaining the feelings and wishes of that corporation with respect to the pre sent BilL lle would allude to an Hon. Member who held in per petuity a fishery at a rate of 1,2001. a year, for which 6,0001. had been offered. He thought that the House would see that the Hill ought not to be allowed to pale. - - • -• • • • - - Mr. S. BOURNE disliked the precedent of establishing such a Bill as the one before the House. He, the one, would not be a party to any such Aet. He thought that prima forte the Dean and Chapter would not be justified in parting with their revenues for any such purpose. Mr. LITTLETON thought It strange that the Cathdral should be allowed to fall into ruin, and then that, with the most unblush ing effrootery, an application should be made to Parliament fir its repairs. He never knew an instance in which such a demand was more unjustified, Sir J. NEWPORT said that the House should be extremely cautious in granting repairs for any Cathedral, but particularly In the present can, bemuse the COolies would be liable to coon'. bete, without the power of havhcany control over the *Mebane 'until. The Church must be degra ded in the eyes of the nation by coming before Parliament for such a M. purpose. Mr D.k WSON said that the Church alluded to was the only Church in Deny where the Protestants could worship. They had been obliged to apply to the Presbyterians for a loan of their Chapel ; and unless Parliament interfered, a large body of mem bers of the Church of England would be without a place to worship in. Ile thought that two things were necessary to be done in Ire land—to provide churches and Instruction. He hoped that the sentiments of the lion Members opposite, would go forth to the public, and have the edict of bringing the Dean and Chapter to a right sense of their duty. He thought it necessary to consider how the repairs should be made; for it was certainly a matter of import. ante to put in proper condition the ancient edifice alluded to. Mr. PLUN'KETT was glad to take the present opportunity of rendering justice to the Bishop who pr sided over the diocese al. luded to. He was sure that no individual, in Ireland or England, acted with more propriety, in every sense of the word; the greater part of his income was spent in charity, and be gave general satis faction to all parties. Mr. HUME said, that he was anxious to do justice to the Bishop of Derry, who, he had understood, had complained that he (Mr. Hume) had cast some reflections on his character during the debate of a former night. He knew that the Bishop had himself sub. scribed LOOK towards the repairs of the cathedral, and the only complaint was, that he had not placed it io proper hands. lie thought that every thing connected with the church establishment of Ireland required to be looted into. Mr. R. 8311T11 hoped that a Committee would be appointed to ascertain through whose delinquency the cathedral of Deny had been allowed to fall to ruin, and to oblige such person to pay for its repairs. He thought also, that the individual should be answerable for the expense incurred by the necessity of borrowing the Presby. terian chapel. The notion war then withdrawn by consent. Mr. Alderman 11 . 00 I) brought in a Bill to enable the city of London to raise a sum of money, at four per cent., to pay off a certain sum of money already borrowed at fire per cent.—Head a first time. _ . ..... Lord STANLIA moved the second rtatling of the 31anchester and Salford Loan Bill. 111 r. lIIISKISsIIV said, he objected to the bringing in of Bills to incorporate a body, aides, the panics had previously obtained the leave of the Crown. This was the old parliamentary proceed ing, and the best. A thousand objections appeared to him to arise frum this plan of incorporating companies. Ile believed, at the present moment, there were forty such fills before the House. Read a second time, and mdered to be committed... emporaked such an evil would be avoided, and the credit of the iVest India merchants would be saved. Mr. W. WILLIAMS agreed with the Hon. Member (31r. Wilson) that the West Indian interests were in a low situation; but it would be ton much for Parliament to give its sanction to a Bill, told& which persons would be induced to advance their tummy, without otherwise knowing the security on which they gave it. His object wan to free the slates, and if this Company °burned the Bill that object Mould be defeated. On public grounds he would therefore oppose the Bill. All that hod mooed for the last few months in the West !Mies would clearly show the prejudices which than prevailed, and thle House should not sanction their extension. km these entsons he felt ft his duty to oppose the MIL! Mr. 11'HITJUORE opposed the BM on public grounds ; and if, after the protection already offered to the Wed India planters in the price of sugar, this Bill were passed, the effect would he to Mile I the price of sugar from :O to 100 per cent. and do away the chance of the unhappy negro front ever obtaining even a limited freedom. While the general object di' all was to throw open every brash of trade, this Bill would go to narrow and resniet it. Under such Cfr• eutustances, he must oppose the Bill. The history of Joint-stock Companies was before the House, be need tiot reps &it ; and the ! result was, that the individuals connected with ft wake ruined, as well as those who embarked their property in au:h esameno Adam Smith said, that oat of fifty such Cotopanin, almost every one of them had failed ; and the sanction of law of corpora. tier. should not be thrown around a specutation like the meant-- bad in principle, and fatal in its result. - (fries of " geteatton !") 31r. A. ELLIS said, that he had no personal interest in this TOM• sure, bite on public grounds it would have his best support. It the Crown did not grant the charter of incorporation, then he Wished to have this Bill followed up ; if otherwise, there would be no nem sity for it. In looking over the names of the perotins to compose this body, he found the most respectable names—name% which gave a atiouity to say measure which they might propose. Capital was now so senty, that those who had it seemed me to know bow to Wren it ; and it was no wander that they looked around w hereto lay it out. Fur himself, he preferred the investiture of capital in this country or Ireland, or the Colonies, than in foreign states (hear), and therefore he wished to advance the West Indian interests, which were suffering a pressure from which it was desirable they should be relieved. He conceived that the effects of this Bill would be to advance the West Indian interestoand prevent the interposition of measures likely to shake the properties of the West India plant Ors. Mr. W. SMITH said, he considered that this Bill, which was called a private Bill, was of more consequence than any public Bill which had been before the Home during the present snoop. His opinion was, that the Colonists were now going thrward with mea sures to their own ruin, and that this Bill would only involve a greater number in the same ruin. The eoloniata might have local knowledge, but their prejudices often blinded them to their own interest. The object of trait Company would be to add to their own pro fi ts, and forget the general interests of humanity. In nine eases out of ten he believed the fact would he so. Another result of this measure would be, a monopoly in the sale of sugar; and if individuals had already tailed in carrying on that trade, how could a eurporato body du better? In such a capacity a surplus of sugar would not lower its price, but would tend to increase it, as the Corporation, who had a large fund, could keep it from the market, and thereby enhance its value. The present Company had the power of raising the commodity; they would hare four millions of merchandise, which, spreading over the whole of the West Indies, would give then) an influence and command which ought to be guarded against. This was a private Bill, yet it was said to be for a public benefit. If it were a ease that might be considered as conferring a public benefit, then ought his migh t Ministers propose the incorporation of the tate g tg, and accompany it with a grant front the Crown. He the Bill was of too great importance to be adopted hastily, and was of opinion that it was introduced at too late a period to re ceive the sanction of the House during the present Seamon. Mr. HUSKISSON, in rising to reply to the objections of the Hon. Member (Mr. W. Smith) who so much dreaded precipitancy, was of opinion that he had totally mistaken the nature of the Society, and the objects of its formation. He had argued the present Bill as if the Company sought a monopoly in the West India trade, as if the/ aimed to secure to themselves the management and direction of H, eat India estates, and to raise the price ofsugar by the influx of four millions of capital into the market. Now lie (Mr. II.) did not understand that any one of these objects were comprised within the scope and intention of the new company. It was un. dentood, that so far from seeking a monopoly of trade, they were not to trade at all. The simple object of the Company's formation sou to act in the capacity of an agency-house here to West India estates, to receive consignments, to sell on commission, and in other respects to discharge those agency duties which it was well known several hoaxes in this country already executed. They did not aim at any greater influence or privilege than any twelve persons of large capital might fairly claim for themselves, and the otily dif ference between such a partnership and the pre ent Company, was the greater extension of the numbers of which it consisted. Adam Smith, Abbe Maury, and other political economists, had been cited against the present Bill, but the opinions which were cited against the formation of this company would be equally, and even still more strongly, applicable against the formation of any joint stock company whatever, taking the principles of free trade as the criterion by which to judge. lie (Mr. uskisson) did not pledge himself to support the Bill in the detail of all its clauses, but in supporting that it be committed, he went no further than to say that the principle of it ought at least to be entertained. And he would here ask if there was nothing in the situation of the West India property at present, that made it desirable that such a Company should be established as the present, which would allied relief to the proprietors of estates there. From the unproductiveness of the estates there, and from various causes into which it was now un necessary to enter, proprietors of West India property could not borrow money at a legal rate of interest. Would it not then be a great relief to those proprietors, pressed to pay of the incumbranees on their estates, to be able to obtain the assistance which the present Company might hold out on fair and reasonable terms. These pro prietors tame last year—they came now, and besought Govern ment to interfere for their relief by the issue of Exchequer Bills on the securit of their estates . Government could not advance money on su ch security, but that was a reason why this House should encourage a Company which might be available for the relief of the distress of those proprietors, and the more cope. dally as that distress had been in no small degree entailed by the measures which had met the sanction of that House. It was not stated in that ]louse, but from discussions elsewhere he had learned, that it was maintained that the amelioration of the slaves might be promoted through the medium of the distioss of th 6 proprietors. if the present Bill were likely to operate as an ob. l stade to the amelioration of the slaves, then he would say—don't let it pass. But he would ask, if this Bill aimed at giving assist ance and relief to the proprietors, whether would the slaves be beat. taken care of and provided on an estate where the proprietor was' free and unencumbered, or on one where the distress of the pro. prietor aggravated the condition of the slaves, diminished the power of bettering his situation, and compelled him to a forcible sale of the slaves ? Besides ' it should be borne in mind, that whilst the proprietor Was depressed, he would be the less enabled to coonterate with Government in the projected ins. pmvement of the condition of the slave population. There was already to be found in the country several compotes of less extent, and perhaps not consisting of such a number of persons, but who aimed at precisely the same objects, and who had embarked con siderable capital in furtherance of similar views. It was with a view of advancing the gradual improvement of the slaves, with the hope of an ultimate change. that he wialied to relieve the proprietnrs from distress; for if distress continued and increased, it would drive them to despair, and when driven to despair, little could be expected from them, in aiding and uniting with the wishes of this country in the moral and physical improvement he bad alluded to. He thought the Bill ought at least to he entertained; at the same time he would apprise the House, that when this question was first mentioned to him, lie declared in this as in similar cases, that he would not countenance oe sanction any monopoly or exclusive pri vilege to them. or any exeuiption stun the bankrupt Lws ; but that he would si iiply . give them those advantages to which a large body of tenons uniting , for laudable and useful purposes, were usually entitled. Without pledging himself to any conduct he might take in the future discussions of the clauses of the Bill, he would merely confine himself to the general support of it in its present . Dr. L Ub HINGTOS considered the present Bill as entitled to the utmost attention, and at heist to justify a discussion of mo derate length. The House ought to be extremely cautious of the authority which it vested in Corporate Bodies. He was the more jealous on the present oceasiun, as the Right Hon. Gentleman did not state the nature of the evils which it was expected this Company would relieve and remedy. He did not inform the House whether the prevalence of the distress was attributable to permanent or tem porary causes. This important point of coasidenitton the Right lion. Gentleman passed over altogether in silence. lie would ask if, the colonies had not been for a lung time past a 1 oing coecern to all ) crams engaged in them? Six per cent- was the rate of interest at v hi it it was said money could be had on the security of West Italia property ; but taking into consideration the profit• of the consignment' on the cargo, and other items, it generally amounted more nearly to Ito per cent. to the borrower. This was the difference between the rest anti nominal interest paid on the security of West India property. The Right Honouruble Gentleman had spoken of inse. curity, bat did not explain what he meant by that term. He (l)r. Lushington o was of opinion that the want of confidence in such security, mime from the quantity of rigs grown in the West Indies, the sole of which did not return a profit adequate to re payment. On the present system, therefore, he did not see what greet advantages could arise from such a company as the present. Duller these circumstances, what would be the consequences of in. corporation ? The consequence woOld be, the raising of the price of sugar by the influence of their capital. By the loans which they woule make, and the inability of the proprietors to clear them off, this company might finally become the very holders of the estates; and this would surely be not desirable, as they could not manage them on the same economical :num as the present resident owners of them. Another objection to this bill was, the impediment it placed in the way of manumission. For instance, what director would undertake to mar.untit a slave when he was acting at the trustee of a public company ? How could he undertake to reward hint for his labour. when be could not gise him that greatest of all rewards foe it—his freedom ? But this a landholder could do, and was k:.vW:ltver in many instances, at hie death, to besitteStb tilt If WEST INDIA CORPORATION BILL. ... Mr. MANNING moved the order of the day for the second reading of the West India Corporation Bill. Mr. HLTSKISSON did not know but the Honourable Member I might have good reason for wishing to bring in this Bill; but for himself, he saw no reason to take this matter out of the ordinary way of granting charters, namely, from the King in Conned. The Crown should be applied to in the first instance, and in case of refusal, to apply to the Legislator& He saw no reason for de porting from the ordinary mode of proceeding, and should there fore oppose the Bill. ' Mr. rA.LIS (Coventry). The object he had in view was mere ly to have the Bill dispoied of in one form or another. 3lr. SYKES wished the postponement of the second reading of the Bill. Ile did not object to it b.nutise it was called a juggle between certain parties; but hr thought, if it Were to protect parties who made bad bargains, he should oppose their . zing indemnified hy • vote of this House. If tour millions were laid out in projects of a precarious nature, the r anks lending should look to them selves, and should Ise made !table to titeir debts ; no Act of Parlia ment shottW shelter them from that resporsitility to which the lender's thought them liable. When the %fist India body raised money on the faith of individual responsibility, an Act of Parlia ment should not screen them from it. and that at a subsequent pe riod. The private trade should not be put under the potter of a corporate body, with a capital of four millions of money. 3lono poly would follow, and the mercantile itherest sufl'o in proportion. rhe object of our policy now was to ti the trade as open as we could : this Bill would go the length to restrict it—nay, more, it would go in its effect to perpetuate negro slavery. The shares of this body were to be to the amoont of fitly thousand • and when tau millions of money were spent in this way, it would go to enlist forty thousand people against the liberatiur. of the unfortunate ne groes. 'What was the necessity for this body ? If they WUrtteli money, and had security, they could get it, and had no need of a company . like that now sought to be formed by this Bill. The ob ject ado.% Corporation was not what it pretended to be, for public works or other useful objects ; its plan was deep. its inter.t obvious, to enlist in the West Indian interest forty thousand people in conti nuing the present West India system. The Honourable :11eitiber concluded by moving that the second resoling of the Bill should take place this day six months. Mr. GIIENFELL said, the condition of the negroes in the West Indies was always near to his heart ; ard if he thought the object of this Bill was to interfere improperly with the slave population of Ireland (hear, and a laugh,)--of the West Indies, he would be the last man to give it his support. I Alt, T. 11 ILSON said the West Indian interest was now under , a cloud, and it would rut be wells if the \Vest India planter was obliged to go about to fool; for thor.ey. If tins Company were in- Price 7d. freedom to rainy of hnt slaves. The Huron able Member pr/ ceeded to comment on several clauses of the Bill. to which he jetted, and oppofteil the second reading of the Bill, principally od the ground of en apprehension of the estates of the present resident proprietors being tranttkrred to this company in the character of mortgagees. He Cad mostly objected to the extension of privilqe* or peculiar favour to joint at, ek corlpiusies, and even carried ate principle to far at to sithold assiscdurt from the banks of Inlaid, at a period of nigent distress. Mr. BUXTON thought the tendency of the present BM to he most detrimental td the vie/re the House entertained of the i meet of the slave poPtdation. It would render the preemie :71= amelioration and final manumission more dun and distant—lt would destroy the relrion that now subsisted of mama and servilet, by substituting in the place *resident proprietors a eon-reeideet mei potation, whose feelings Would belted alive to the situatioe et the slaw, and whose anxiety to mitigate their !vanish would be Ms earnest and acute than thaw under whose daily they wen. Walton, further entering into de:ail, but agreeing In die objections that had been made. and for various other reasons at I will be would at present withhold the statement, be would oppose the wand reading of the Bill. Mr. W. HORTON did not consider it fair to Mimed the rend Bin with the question of manumission ; they were altogether tinct. Whatever effect the Bill might have on that queetkee wee cal, elated to favour and promote it. The present Bill peta in =l: an UAW: but a transter of ; for instance, many now performed the same business which this Co mpany propassd to do.

He believed the system to be altogether bail, and should 31Tose chi lotion. The question from the Chair teat tl put,—" That the order of the day for the second reading of the Wett India Company Bill be now tead.' i 31r. MANNINO stated, that tinder this Bill there was no power given to the West India Merchants collectively, that they had not before in their caparity as individuals. Mr. SYKES observed, that he was anxious to take that appal% tunny Of remarking upon what had fake from the President of the Board of Trade, in reply to a miestioa which fell from hint. In defence of the Bill then beliire the Haase the Bight Hon. Gen tleman had stated, that the Incorporated Company proposed wan not competent for general purposes, but for the purpose of trans ferring securities. Now he ( Mr. Sykes) denied that; and with these contrary mentions the House would do well to look to the Bill itself, and they *odd see, beyond doubt that it contained within it a power of general bartering. He should move, sa an amendment, that the Bill be read this day six months. Mr. HUSK ISSON said, in expltmatlon, that be was not going to re-debate the measure, but he had no objection that Hon. Gen tlemen should look to the Rill. and they would find that the clause upon which the lion. Member's opinion seemed to be founded, re ferred to tales and commissions. 31r. W. SMYTH thought that the Bill bore the interpretation given to it by the Hon. 31e111J'..r for Hull. Mr. P. MOORE remarked. that in this case, as in all Joint Stock Companies, there would be a liability pro portioned to anti limited by the advance. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided. The numbers wcfe— For the Amendment. 30 I Against it, 1021 Majority, 72. The Bill was then read a second time. on our re-admission to the gallery, we found Mr. Secretary CANNING on hit legs, adrtrting to the inconrenience that must ensue front presenting petitions of a private nature at so late an hour. Upon this intimation, Sir E. KNATCHBULL consented to withdraw a petition which he had just risen to present. ASSESSED TAXES. Lord EIOT II A3l presented a petition, very numerously signed by the inhabitant householders of I.ewiinster. praying fin a repeal of the Assessed Taxes. 31r. J A HVIS prevented a similar petition from the inhabitants of Salisbury, signed at a public meeting by the Sheriff, on behalf of the petitioners.--Ordered to be printed. 31r. HUME suggested the propriety of putting of until a future night the presetting of these petitions. Unquestiouably the incom. venience was, as it had been stated by the Right lion. Secvetorv, very great, and from a conviction of it he should abstain from pre. seating 'ix petitions similar to the last. (A laugh.) The SPE.IKER said, if ahy Hoe. lientlennus has to submit a motion to the House, he will use his own discretion now in select ing the time fur that purpose. 31r. MAISERLY then rose, and was warmly cheered at corn tnencisg—The lion. Member said, that in pursuance of the notice he had given som.: time since, hr Appeared there to make his pro mised motion and although no man was more sensible of the situ ation in which he stead, yet he felt so satisfied of the purity of his own purpose, that whatever might be justly objected to his incom. petence, no imputation of unworthy motive could attach to his con duct in the selection of this subject, so deeply as it deserved the consideration of that House. and so closely as it came home to the feelings of the country. He thought it right to commence with this declaration, that however interested the public generally felt in this question, unless he was quite convinced that it Iru the strict duty of the responsible Minister to accede to the wishes of the people, he would not, from any love of idle popularity, have undertaken the exposition which he proposed submitting to the House. He meant to treat the question in the largest possible way. lie should in the tint instance look at the finance statements of the Right Hon. Gent. the C'hatieellor of the Exchequer. Then he should submit to the House his view of the Sinking Fund; and, thirdly, he should show the inexpediency of continuing on in this species of taxation. In pursuing this division.of his argument, he s ho uld have to reply to the statedients of the Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Ex. chequef. According to his statement of the revenue and expendi. ture for the next tour years, no repeal of taxation could reasonably be expected before the year 18211. Indeed with this admission he was willing to begin—that if the Right Honourable Uentlernaii was correct in his financial arrangements, it was impossible to ex pect any of taxation before that time. Therefore the House would see t ime necessity of attending to the arguments he would have to put forward to-night. lie would nut occupy the time of the House by going into any detailed and connected statement, in point of mere order, of the views of the Right Honourable Uentle maa, but he should confine himself at present to merely stating the views of the Right llonourable Gentleman, as they were expound ed by himself.

The statement then would stand thus :—For the tour years, over and above the expendieure, but without reference to the Sinking Fund, there would be a balance of 1,075,0001 He would now crane to the staiement of the sinking fund. This was admitted to be for the last four yenta 3,688,0001.; to this was to be added the sum of 700.0040. received from the sale of building* from the Commisaioners of Public Works, and the result of these calculations would be a surplus of 26,315,041. in the course of four years ; and from this balance in favour of the public the sum of 5,010,001 W. was to be appropriated to the reduction of the national flan. This was called the sinking fund. The operation of this fund was, however, to be reduced by the diminution of taxes upon other articles-- On Rum of - - - latt.ooo/. On Hereof . . - 100,0001. (in Silk of - - - 100 0001. On Wool of - - - 160.0001. These reductions would ainourt, with ethers which he would not enumerate, to the sum of 3,317,0111. There was certainly a boos offered to the House and the country, for which he was as grans ful as any man; he meant the repeal upon the article e silk. This amounted to the sum of 600.0001. ribs he consider. f to be en act of justice. It was but a fair act of remuneration to tl , e posons who suffered m. loss us consequence of the repeal by having a stock on hand. He thought this measure was the result of sou, .4 principles of legislation ; and no question discussed had, in hr opinion, been looked at with more attention or debated with me e ability; he trusted the Ministers would, in spite of any die' - collies that might be thrown in their wig, go on. After a redo:loos upon the surplus of 2.6,000,00611. of 1,211.41110., there would be I:i without the appropriation of the Sinking Fund of 5,000,0040. a ' balance in favour of the public of nearly twenty-two millions; ai. t his object wadi be now to call upon the House foe a repeal of di, Sinking Fund altogether,and get rid of taxation to its annual ammo , - The Sinking Fund for the four years was 5,336.03 M., which, divider. by four, would give the annual reduction of about 1334001. I s his consideration of these subjects, he fidlowed the statements ofrs - Right lion. the t:hancellor of the Exchequer. He was convince.! these statements were not overstated. The Hight Hon. Gentles,' had acted as he conceived in justice he out..ist. Nothing snub! ^1 more injurious to the public than an over-statement upon such .4. subject. Such a proceeding would only have the effect of deceic o:4 theta. Ile lug therefore convinml that the balance for the neat totr years would 0. 4,533,000/ . he would state to the Hasse an opii-op upon which he had himself no doubt, that if the Sinking Fund sea.. discontinued altogether, the consequences would be much inoso beneficial to Cu: cea:Ary.
