Lord HOLLAND 'MMI ketl, that their Lordships should be well aware how far they were proceeding, and craisider, that if this practice of su•irrnding their Standing Orders on every occasion were suf. limed, those guards upon their proceedings would be thrown in the mercy of every individual. • Lord SiDWlOUTH—Certairily any individual might move the suspension of any Standing Order, but i! was for the House to determine on the pro. pliety of every particular case. The Kirl of LAUDERUALS said, if the House were to suffer the suspension of their Standing Or ders, without being apprised of any necessity fur so doing, it would be open in future fur any Noble Lord t o simpead them tel his pleasure. Such a motion as the present was very uncommon, except ing when several legislaiire measures were before the [louse. It was usual when a motion fur sus pending the Orden' was made, to state the reasons for it. The Edal of LIVICRPOOL acknowledged that such undoubtedly was the inactive, and when the motion for suspending the Order was made, the reason should he stated. After ..orue further conversation, it was deter mined that ihrre Standing °icier., Nos. 26, 104, arid 125, sliuuld be takers iiato consideration tu morrow. Tile (louse then adjourned.

Mr. Dishrowe, the Cliteen's Chamberlain, appeared at the bar, Milli h r Ilajesays answer to the Address of Congratitla. 1100 of *lw House, on the. marriage of their Ruyal Highnesses the Duke and Ditches. of Cambridge. ALIEN BILL—CUTLERY BILL A message from the Lords aasioanced that their Lordships did not vono.t on their amendments to the Bill for the raga. lation of Aliens; and also that their Lordships had agreed to the Cutlery Trade Bill, with anteuilments, to which they de• sired the concurrence of the House. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. Sir FL ttoutuAr row to present the Petition of Roger Cole, to which he hail referred on ■ former might, but which was then inf..' mal, not basin been signed by the Petitioner. This omission was now rect died. The Petitioner complainer! of the treatise( sit he received in his applicatioas for relief from the lu►olveot Debtors' Court. The Petition was read, and laid on the table. Mr. LocIICRAST said, that as the Attorney-Cseberal had given 'notice of his intention to bring early next Strohm the Acts for the Relief of lusolyrist Debtors under the consi deration of the House, be would not 'pursue his own view of this subj. ct further than to say, that he should certainly subunit several amendments to the existing laws whirls go. verned the proceedings of the lusolveut Debtors' Court. He would certainly suggest the Necessity of not leaving to a single Judge the power of finally deciding on the disposi- Inn' of property to so large au amount, as that under the jurisdiction of this Court. He should like also to restrict the jurisdiction of the Court in cases where there was • large amount of property at issue. He had beard of such sours as 100 ; 000/. being the debts (ruin which iudividuals obtained a Meese by the present operation of the law. It would be highly expedient, be thought, that instead of the creditor tossing in the first iustaneeilie expense of opposing the debtor, the latter shuidd Ise obliged to satisfy the Cowl that his nobs rrrrr mends had fairly arises. (rout unfoieseen misfortune. It would be right that as much as passible the mode or proceeding in rears of insolvency should be made to approximate to Om.: of bankruptcy. He threw out these blots at this period, and would reserve himself until the proper time fur • more general development of his views. After a few remarks front Sir S. ReaiLLT and General THMINTOV, Mr. Lo moved, that there he laid before the Rouse a Return of the total number of Insolvent Debtors dia•h:v(rd by his Slajesty's Comminioterr from the maid Cowl, with the aggregate alleettut of the debts wit► which they %fowl charred ; All.O, ass ACI.111111( of the auras recovered by the Assiguees Guru the Estates of smelt Debtors; • Aotl a su of the eases whereto the Coeditors bed beep showed to proceed easiest the property of Insolvent Debtors acquired gismo their discluirge.—•Ordered• SLAVE TRADE ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

Tim Members appointed to manage the conference baring bees ranted by the Newton, .proceetted to the Paiute(' Chamber, and after • short intervid, Mr. T. COVlTeltalf returord, and informed the House that their Lordships did not hoist on their auteudiurats. ROYAL MARRIAGE. Lord H. Somcaser iiironneri the House that the Address of Congratulation, voted by the House iu the Doke and Duchess of Cambridge on their Nhrriscc, had been pre sented, and most graciously received. EDUCATION OF THE POOR. Mr. Bitounicist brought sip a Report of the Committee on the Education of the Poor, which was laid on the table. Mr. BROUGUAIi then said he would take that opportunity to state tilled" the circuutatances of an 'abuse in a charitable institntism, that had very lately come to his knowledge. The 4'llat in quea. tiun was one of the strongest, to skew the necessity of reform, that Is:.d yet come out. The abuse in a charitable fund lie wished to make the House acquainted with, occurred in a borough in the county of Ilutitiogdon. ,The misspplicatiou of the fund coostituted the whole of the borough interest iu the place. It was the &bawling the poor of their rights that gave its patrons the right of sending two Members to Parliament. This case of gross and wilful perrri stun of the purposes of he (Isolation had come within the provisions of his Bill, as it origin ally stood, because the charity had been rounded in the reign of Edward 11. send had been estimated at the animist value of 35/. The property of this in stitution consisted of une hundred aiiil forty-five acres of land in the neighbourhood of a populous town ; it had been leaped at the annual rate of 1601. whereas its annual value, at the lowest calenlation, was 900/. The lessors of the property were the Mayor and twelve Aldermen of the Borough.— The trustees, the Mayor and twelve Alder itten—the lessees, the Mayor, and twelve Aldermen--the lessees, the trustees, and lemon, essire all the same persons. They leased out the lands of the poor to themselves, sod robbed die poor. The Mayor and Aldermen elected the Burgesses, end the rule in that Borough was, once a Burgess, end always a Burgess. The Mayor and Aldermen gave each and every one of the burgesses a portion of land for kite or bottling, which bound the latter so firmly to their interest, that such a thing as opposition iii the borough had never been known. It presented an example of 4what was caller' a maiden borough—rood the reason I was very obvious—if the burgesses should have dared to oppose the Candidates set up by the i Mayor and Aldermen, they. would have been turned lout of the lands.—(Hear.)—He begged now to say one word as to the control that the Commissioners under his Bill, as mended, could exercise over this charity. It was noise—the charity was exempted from their examination by one of the clauses added in another place. It had special visitors : and he could not refrain from remarking, that the case seem ed to have been sent by the special interposition of Providence to fill up airy vacuity us his former sr gumeot against the policy of such an exemption. The special visitor* were the Mayor and twelve Al. dermen ; the very iudividuals who turned the foods to their own selfish ends, who to sup. port their views of self-interest and corruption had pillaged the poor. Could any one doubt after this that the amendments in smother place had weakened and crippled the Bill in its operation ? Could any one hesitate at concluding that it be hoved the House to resume its inquisition ratty next Session, without sluinbtring or sleeping ? If any our slid still entertain doubts on the subject, it could only be from the abstract love of doubting. He had, before he sat down, to state that the Committee had received a communication from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, offer ing to furnish every further iiiforntation in their power, on the subject of the management of the poor in that kingdom. ALIENS. Lord CASTLEIMOIII said, it became necessary for him to draw the attention of the House to the inotiou of which lie had given notice on Saturday night. He wee perfectly convinced the House would agree, that the law permitting the rights of naturalisation to be acquired by the purchase of stock iu the national Batik of Scotland should not be suffered to continne—he was persuaded that their rejection of the clause added for that purpose in the other How, had not proceeded from any opi nion of the abstract propriety arid fitness of the law, bet from a laudable desire to guard their pri vileges...and from their dislike of the retrospective effect that the clause, if agreed to, would have had. He could not believe, that any differ filet of opinion would exist . , on the question that the proposed Bill might involve—he could not think there would •be two opinions on the question, whether it was proper that the Act of na turalization should be effected by purchasing the stock of any trading company. He thought the House would agree in the proisusition, that however anxious the Legislature or &igloos' might have been to receive and give shelter to foreigners, it never could have entered into their contemplation that the rights of a natural-horn einem 'tumid be gained iu the manner he had described. So strict, On the contrary, bail the Legislatiiie been in ad mitting allelli to these rights, that Parliament had thought proper to impure, 11l this re• r t, restric tiour on itself, and to provide, by au express low, that no one should have leave to bring in a Bill into Parliament for the naturalisation of au alien, with. out a clause or prohibiting the right of sitting in Parliament ; and of ever it had Iwo deemed urces sary to permit such a person to attain such a right, a previous step always was, to piss a Bill to dis pense pro lase rice with the law he had referred to. It could out be intended to Kite soy trading body what had been denied to Parliament. The Legs*. lature had further ibl:Ned their jealousy iu enacting that no military commission should be conferred by the Crown on an alien without a permission by Par. Bement ; hut now, by the latest law telaiive stock its the Scotch Bank, aliens might .receive commissions in the army, even without the security exacted from a natural-born cubjecti an oath of allegiance. The right, too, was not nt the disci?. lion of the Bank of :3cutland to confer or withhold, as the law stood, the right was gained by the pur chase of stock to the smallest amount ; so th it this. Crown might indirectly, through the medium us this law, increase the number of foreigners in its service to any extent. Frotrs this statement, he was persuaded the douse would see that the law of the Scottish Parliament of 105, should not be longer suffered to exist. He would have deemed it his duty to propose a permament measure to regolire it, were it not for the near approach of the coil of the Session, and the importance of Patleinelit previously entering into the question in all iii bearings ; because, since the question :rad b.eil started, it appeared that some corporations possts, , ell the right of conferring denix thou without ally init.,- realm' on the part of the frown. It was, therefore, necessary that Parliament should at sonic tune, and with more leisure, take up the whole of the question. With respect to the form of the tem porary measure he was about to propose, he trusted no solid objection would lie against it. The objec tion of the Right Him. Gentleman opposite, that the Bill did nut contain a specification of the several Acts bearing on the case might be well founded. if it was at present intended to pass a dr%ieive mea sure, and to settle the matter finally, it might he futiuded—but as it was meant only to keep the question open till the next Session, it might irivi.lve Parliament in difficulties if it was attempted specify all the laws connected with the Act under consideration; it would be more natural and prti. dent to postpone the examination of the Acts till then, and to reserve, till the next St-slam', all the Acts on the subject, and the examination of the different Acts of Parliament and of the pit vilegee enjoyed by corporate bodies. A difficulty had been mentioned on the ground that Pas liament ought not to interfere with the rights of such bodies without notice—he was of opiaina that the pull% a short Bill would be the last mean of giving notice of au intended altera tion in their rights—it seemed to manifest a greater degree of consideration even for them. They could not perhaps at the spur of the moment so well de termine the course they should pursue. when Bete rights came under discussion as now, when so ninth time was to be granted them for that purpose. But certainly the principle of giving notice to parties interested should not be pushed to such ass extent. From what he had stated, Parliament would acknowledge the wisdom of suspending for a short and limited time, the acts conterrilig nature lisitiou or denization on foreigners, otherwise then by Act of Parliament. On the expiration of the Act, hr mesitt to propose that the corporate rights of the Bank of Scotland, and all other bodies, might be taken into consideration more effectually than they could now, and a regulation come to more consistent with the general law than could now be obtained. On these grounds, he hoped the House would consent to passing the Bill through all its stages to-night. He believed that the Directors of the Bank of Scotland had felt it their duty to in form the Government by letter of the great num ber of aliens who bud purchased their stuck from the time the Act was introduced, and that they had no objections to submit to any regulations that might be deemed necessary for the public good. But the public interests were so involved in the question. that even if they were adverse, their opi nions should not he allowed to have much weight. He should accordingly move for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent aliens, for a limited tiine,.frons becoming naturalized, or being made or becoming denizens, except in certain cases. Sir J. MACKINTOSH looked upon the chinse re. jected in that House as one of the most cruel and abominable provisions ever attempted to be carried through a British Legislature ; but •s the retro. spective part of it was in the proposed Bill to he withdrawn, he viewed that Bill in quite a different light. He did not pretend to say the Act objected to ought to be continued ; on the contrary, he was of opinion that it was unreasonable—and he felt no objection to a well-considered Act for taking it awry. But he had very strong objections to such a hasty, indefinite measure as the one proposed. What a series of discoveries had been made in the space of fourteen days First, after the Bill was sent up to the other House, the discovery of the privilege of the Scotch Bank—secondly, of the clause intro duced being a money clause—sand thirdly, the di,. covering that there were certain other corporate bodies that the Noble Lord was unable to name, a share in whose stock conferred a part, or the whole of naturalization. That was an admonition to the House not to trust to the information of Mi. tinders in the too hasty adoption of any measure. To pass the Bill in its present vague, undefined form, would be a disgrace to our statute-book, and the greatest blot ou it. if ever there was au instance of discreditable neglect of information, this was one. It had been argued in another place, it was repeatedly asserted here, that the Bank of Seminud e by the sale of stock, might defeat the provisions a the Act of Settlement, as to the right of sitting in Parliament. The highest law authori. tied had held out that doctrine—the Noble Loud had i insisted on h.—yet, strange to sa y, t hi s wee all i n the teeth of an A ct o f P ar li ament pass ed n the 6th of Anne—whet, Loud Somers was Chancellor, for the purpose of completing the measures connected with the Union—twirling that every person disabled from sitting in the English Parhaineut, should also be disabled from sitting in the British Parliament—which drolly ,hewed that the disabilities created by the Act of Settle. ment in England. extended to aliens in every part of the empire. It was the duty of the Noble Lord to have been apprised of this; and not to have held out to the House that toe rxisteuce of its Si:utcr.
