STEAM ENGINES. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR its rising to move for the sp. poiotmetit of a Commit tee to consider of the nuisance created by Sterol-engines, begged the indulgence of the House for r very few moments. It would be in the recollection of the House, that in the course of tltr Session before,the last he had drawn its atten tion to the inconvenience and annoyance which the metropolis sustained horn these engines. He had t him stated that the ill effects which followed from them, nut only to the personal enjoyment and health of the inhabitanto, but to all the country round, in injuring the growth and quality of vegetable., might, by the adoption of proper means, he con sideralily removed, rod had desired that a Com mittee might be impended to make inquiries on the subject. The Committee hod been granted him, and their Report was before the House. He be. Breed that the idea of compelling tbe proprietors of these machine* to consume their own smoke, was, among those who had bestowed attention on the subject, considered by HO means impracticable, and he was satisfied that if the Honse would permit the inquiry to proceed, sod the investigation pro perly pursued, it would be made evident that the nuisance of these erection', which made London uninhabitable—(A laugh)—Liverpool and Man chester • habitable, and all these great places uninhabitable—/ Mach larighter)—(when he said uninhabitable, he meant it, fur great num ber, of those who conducted business in those cities were obliged to hire houses at a 'distance to place their families iii), could be wholly removed, or at least greatly diminished. The whole of the I:trunnion of smoke, air offensive and prejudicial in its effects, proceeded from steam-engines, and if the House would grant him the Committee, lie had nut a doubt that 'his hopes in regard to them would Ire realized. He could refer to placr-s where the .design hail actually been eft. eted. It wits done at the manufactory of Mr. Barnes, at Warwick, and he happened to have on his side the evidence of tome gentlesnen 'in the House who bud seen it. In that establishment, without Huy expense being incurred, and with a saving in con sumption of one-third of the quantity of fuel ordinarily used, all the smoke from the furnace was consumed within the erection; and so little appear. mice was there of it in the surrounding part of the at mosphere, that he ventured to say, if any gentleman went into the concern he would find it difficult to de termine where the furnace wes. He had himself endea voured to create a smoke from the furnace, without being able to succeed. Other gentlemen who lied seen this furnace, could testify that the owner of it manifested no sort of suspicion that it would tint answer the effects anticipated from it, for only test yards from the furnace was a bleaching ground. He had visited the latter, to discover whether any obstruction arose to the operations there from the proximity of the other concern, but was told that untie whatever was felt.—( Hear.)—Could any one say then, that he had acted wrong in bringing the subject under the consideration of the House ? There was also a distillery beyond Millbank, where the smoke was nearly, but nut effectually, got rid of. He was sure therm twas no man in the kingdom who would not be glad that this *sauce could be overcome. through the intervention and com mands of the Legislature. He asked the Right Honourable Member for Liverpool (Mr. Can ning) oloiosite, whet was the state of that town f smoke ?--(4 lapigh.)—He asked, what was the state of Birmingham ? Way it not known that the ebullition of smoke overspread the entire atmosphere there? At present small engines wets erecting in Bridge-street, Blackfriars, which would he productive of great annoyance. The Honour able Member then adverted to the unpleasant con sequences experienced in the neighbourhood of Elhoit's •nd the Cronon brewery. He believed the Honourable Metnber for Nottingham (Mr. Denman) had been present when he visited the manufactory at Warwick; to him he begged leave to appeal for • confirmation of what he had dr scribed. He trusted the House would permit him, •fter the inquiries should be completed, to bring in • preparatory law towards the extinguishment of so pernicious a nuisance. lie was toot in • hurry with such a law, but if lie could eventually succeed in procuring its adoption, he was of opinion that he should deserve well of the pub lic. The Hon. Member then moved. that • Select Committee fir appointed to inquire how far it may be practicable to compel the ownersof steam engines to erect them in S manner less prejudicial to public health end public comfort, and added, that if soy Gentleman in the House were to take his station for three or four days near the chimney of one of these steam-engines, he would be con• winced of the expediency of the motion.—(A /augh.) Mr. DIRN)1•14 confirmed what had beets said by the Hon. Mover concr g the absorption of the smoke by the engine at Warwick. There was not the least appearance of smoke. The merit of the invention belonged to (as we uteelerstood) a Mr. Parker, and was intruded with the utmost possible success. He trusted that the public would shortly be made arc. quainted with the beneficial results of it, winch, he believed, would iva short time supersede the ammo sity of all legislation ou the subject. Sir C. MOADAUST spoke iu confirmation of the precediug statements, After a few wards front an Non.

Lord ALTHORP rove. to purenuoce of his notice, to move for lease to bring in a Bill for the BAD( of Insolvent Debtors. The Bill winch lie. meant fis propose was the same as t h at svh.flo he had •,) 14Friy brought into the last Parliament. It ads tiwrt lure quite unnecessary for him to trellises% much upon the time of the House, as there must be a consider able number present who, whilst in the last Perlis. Meisi, mart have put themselves in powsresion of the measure he then intended, and winch he how meant to intro duce a second time. But as pine mew Member* may wish for an outline of his pl.in. -- Ice should beg Irate briefly to *tide it. The tin ~f principal objects of his Bill were—first, to give cre ditors ... 11 a more easy power to detect concralment of property on the part of fraudulent debtors; ai..l his second was, to enable the Comminowirra of Ilie Court so examine. out of dour,, into all matters 1 . touching the conduct and property of. tlw insolvent, Ng so as to satisfy the creditors at large. These were the principal alterations lie proposed introducing l it ) Isis new Bill. Mr. LOCILIOART—" Does the Noble Lord mean to confine the scope of his Bill to the two objects Ice has mentioned 1" ~~ Lord A venom. —" Certainly not ; but hey are the principal points." Mr. LOCKHART expressed the satisfaction he felt at the Noble Lord's answer, and at fin ling flint Site new Bill meant to embrace the Pll bivel ;n a con pretwirtive manner. The two Bills isliearly io fnrce certainly required much attention and alteration ; they were merely CON tinedio the analogons 1.111111. lion of the general practice reap, ctiag debtors and creditor., without at all makingforoper distinctions. There was out class of debtors Owl was, for in mantic. intangible by either of these Bills—he vomit those debtors who had incurred drainage. Inuiscled on actions at law, and who had dune great its jury to their neighbours ; besid e ", i n caore of penalties inflicted under particular Statute., they. were permitted their discharge just as ordinary debtors. This ought not to lie iinarnitted, for the maxim should be adhered to, " Qui aux hubct pt. emulate lend persona." There was one more alteration,nil which he thought ought to be Imre duced. Io many cases debtors obtained their charge merely because creditors would mot incur the expense of opposing them. Care should be taken that such debtors should trot escape with im punity. He also thought that the new haw should, as much as powible, be assimilated to the law of Scotland, and that the oars preitaadi of alwaing the debtor's claim for relief should rest on himself, and that it should not be thrown on the creditor iu the first instance to shetv_the contrary. Lord Aresoar said, on the second reading he would enter fully into the merits of his Bill. Ho added, that it provided for many of the points to which the Hou. Gentleman had called the atten tion of the House, and he was glad to have the assistance of that Hon. Member through the pro. greys of the measure. With reference to persons detained for penalties, he thought the term of im. prisonment provided iu the last Bill fully tuf. hcient. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.
