Askew, by Mr. facicians (conti nue," from our Afternoon Edition)—l prefer the broad gauge, and that preference first led me to approve of this line, but on other grounds I consider it a most desirable line. I should prefer to go by this line, to going by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, although on that line there would be no break of gauge, and it would be fifteen miles shorter. The principal ground of my preferring this line Is, be cause it proposes to go through a more picturesque country. The trustees of the Free• school are unanimously of opinion that this line will be beneficial to it. I eonaider that an independent line is the best for thepablic. Although 1 am decidedly opposed to amalga mation with the London and Birmingham Company, I see no reason why this line should not be amalgamated with the Great Western. • Re-examined—l believe that if the Shrewsbury and Birmingham. were amalgamated with tke London and Birmingham, it would be the greatest monopoly in existence. One of the principal reasons why the trustees of the school prefer this line is, because they will be enabled to sell to this company a great deal of worthless property In the neighbourhood of the school. To the Hon. CHAIAMAN — The people of Birmingham are of opinion that a station at New-street would be of great advantage to them. • Re-examination resumed—The proposed station at Snow-hill will communicate with the Blrmilighara and °alma line, bu , there will he no communication with nay other line. The great bulk of the traffic entering Birmingham is deposited in the neighbourhood of Mr. Muntz, manufacturer, of Birmingham, sail that the people of that town had suffered very muctoof late years front the want of rail. way communication. The present communication was of a very Inferior kind. The accommodation proposed to be given by this line was the best. The Shrewsbury and Birmingham was a creature of the London and Birmingham, in conjunction with the Birmingham Canal, and if that line were formed the London and lairmingionn w,.uld have the entire control of the district. All chalice of competition would be at All end. This line would give the people of Birmingham the best supply of coal. As tar as I can tell, the proposed station at snow-hill is decidedly the most conventnent with reference to passenger traffic, and as re garded the goods traffic, it was in the centre of the town. The town is growing in that dire tion above all others, and five sixths of the merchants' warehouses are in that neighbourhood. With one single exception, he had not spoken to any one not inte rerested in the other lines that was not in favour of this line ; he was acquainted with the great body of the Birmingham merchants and manufacturers. lie became a director of this line when the shares were at a discount, because he considered it essential to the interests of the people of the Birmingham district. To Mr. R. CLAYTON—The New-street station would be about a mile from the business portion of the town of Birmingham. Cross-examined by Mr. Ittcloaans.—Was an alderman of Bir mingham, and was present at the meeting of the Corporation when the subject of the proposed stations was under discussion, and he voted in the minority, lest the resolu tion of the Corporation should be Produced before this Committee. The report presented to the Cor notation was not ordered to be drawn up by the Town Council. He l w a.!leturty-chairanut of the Oxford and Birming ham line, and one reasons why he preterred the Snow- hill station was, I .7 itliwtten could then be farmed with the Neer-st,,,,,, u ß on irmlnzharn.

If the most desirable situation for the construction d it would have the proposed station at New-street were to be erecte" id that Snow-hill was the effect of abstracting all the traffic tMoin High-street atid_tt e 11 bourhood. Two hundred thousand wich, &c., in the course of twelve months, would be abstracted the neighbourhood of nigh-street, and the retail trade there would be people c oming from IN est I;r ir ;m u i; annihilated. Cross-examin d by Mr. IlieiCAßDS—Wherever the station might be constructed, there would naturally be a great cumber of passen gers, but Snow-hill was decidedly the moat central part or the town. Mr. Frederick Dee, innkeeper, Birmingham, said, that many of the hotels and public buildings in,the neighbourhoodiof Know-hill had been recently enlarged and embellished. The property which would have to be removed by the ert•ction of the S nowhill station was a great nuisance to the town. Th e people of Birmingham were not at pre sent sufficiently accommodated the London and Birmingham line. He was aware of a great many inconveniences caused by that want of accommodation. Cross-examined by Mr. RICIARD3.—He was some time ago em ployed by the London and Birmingham to supply refreshments to the passengers on their line. • Mr. Gough, wholesale ironmonger, Birmingham, gave similar evi dence. Birmingham bad no railway communication with Dudley' lie thought that this line would afford very much greater accornmo dation to the iron districts than its competitors. Seveuteen.tverntieths of the merchants of Ilinnligham had their places of business in the neighbourhood of Snow-hill, and the advantages of a station at Snow hill would be incalculable.

HOUSE OF LORDS Their Lordships met at ten minutes to five o'clock. Messengers fn . = the House of Commons brought up several Bills. Jr.ll HALVES disclaimed t acing any interest in either of the lines before the House, arid s aid he rose simply to urge upon the House a few of thine considerations whi,th seemed to him to affect the subject before tin m. Ile said the Hon. Member )Mr. Ewart) had stated this as a ramp e case in which a commissioner having considered a particular line, and re ported in favour of it, that line ought to have the support of the House. Now if that were the simple consideration in the case before the House, he (Mr. Hawes) would certainly sup port it. But the House would be surprised to learn, after hearing the speech of the Hou. Gentleman, who said that this line was not a competing scheme with the Cal , doniati Railway, that this line had been rejected by the Board of Trode, and not only by the B card of Trade, but by the first Commission which was appointed to invite into the best communication between England and Scotland. He held in kis hand a report from the Beard of trade, in which they distinctly stated that it was quite clear that the traffic from Scotland to the south was not sufficient to support two eon - peting systems of railroad; that one must be atto,.ted, and the others neglected, and that the Caledonian and the Nithsdele lines were two systems inconsistent with each other. He ( Mr. Hawes owned, that aft-r reading this report, he did not think that the last Commission bait adopted the most prop. r course in their proceeoings. H onoura bl e M em b ers had in a full House rejected that line, the Board of Trade at d the Commission had decided against it, and he (Mr. Hawes) would support the desist n of the House against the late Cdrn mittee. Against the Beard of Trade, against the Commission, and against the decision of the (previous Committee, the late Committee, he thought. c hue to an unwise decision. He would simply ask the House whether the evidence of public documents did nor preponderate in favour of the Caledonia,. line, and against the decision of the Committee on the Dum fries line? There was, for instuce, a Coo na.ttee of their own House who had reported against the latter line—the Board of Trade had done the same, and a Commission appoin ed by the Crown had given a decided olioion in favour of the Caied, pion line. He sa.d then this was no ordinary ease, and t i.r House ought not to allow the Dumfries line to pa -s. at least for the present. Bat there %yea another consideration which he would urge wer e living i n t i me ,. of wild rail against this decision. They way speculation, and he found from a paper which had been laid before the House, that there were Bills before them authorising railway companies to raise eapi - al to the extent of three hundred and sixty millions, which, up to the mai of . June, the Bills in the other House, amounted to upwards of one hundred millions. Now, he put it to the House, whether, und, r the circumstances, it was not fit and pioper that the Dumfries Railway should be pos - poned till a more favourable period for eau.) mg it out Believing this to be the best that could be done for the sake of the public interest, c.,nsitieriog that the credence of pubic documet is pm ponderated in.ainst the decision of the Committee, knowing that the House had au tio rked an exiting c o mpany to make a line in the sam, district, and to raise two millions of money, affording an immense amount of labour, a large portion of which was now in operation ; aid considering, ias• ly, the pr. seat state of railway speculation sad the money market, he thought it highly deitrdb;e that the House sh tultl postpone the passing sat the Dutofries Bill till a more favourable opportunity. Mr. OSOALD said the Dumfries line would accommodate an extensive and important eistriet, most of whose landed pro prietors supported the line. It would also afford great local oe.- cornmodation. while it would preve a source of considei able convenience and advantage to a large agricultural • Mr. S. WORTLEY had no interest whatever in the line, but his constituents :elt considerably in favour of the line. It had been said that the House shoind be cautious how they gave their ,anction to railway schemes.

It was said that the Nith.dale scheme of last year was the aame as the one in which the Committee adjudicated this year, but that was not the case. The line of last sear, was an integral line from Gla,g,,w to Carlisle; whereas the line of this year started from Cumnock, and passing through Dumf. ies, termi nated in the Caledonian line at Gretna, so that this line would have to pass along the Caledonian from Gretna to Carl►sle, to the great advantage of that line. The line under the conside ration of the House would give great aecommo t ,tion to the dis trict through which it pasted, taking agricultural t roduee from Dumfries hire, and cat r) ing coal and other in,nerals fr,,m Ayr shire to the south.

The Noble. Earl presented a petition from Aylesbury and other places in favour of the railway. Mr. BAILLIE thought the course which had been adopted with regard to the present Bill most ohjec ionable. The ques tion had really been decided last Tuesday night, in a full House. The majority which then decided against the Bill was not a very large one, still it was a maiirity, and the House was a very full one. It was most unfair for the promoters of the Bill to take_advantag e of the forms of the House, and get the debate adjourned so as to try and get the decision rescinded. .—(Hear, hear.) It was a most objectionable course of pro ceeding, and one that he hoped the Hou-e would not encou rage. He would conclude by hoping the House would confirm the decision it had come to en the orevious evening, when the matter was lull considered.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. J. HUME hoped the deli-ion of the Committee would be sustained. It was a question of great importance whether tney would deprive such an important district as Nithsdale of railway acei.ran.odation In order to please the Caledonian Coot pany. It had been stated that the Caledonian would require the whole traffic of the country in order to maintain it. I his he did not believe, but considered that Company wanted to maintain a monopoly. He had received a letter from a person from Kilmarnock, who expressed great alarm lest the Bill should he thrown out by the House, at it would be of the greatest advantage to the country ihreugh which it passed, and that feeling was general through out the whole of Nithsdale and Ayrshire.—(Hear, hear.) The writer said it would he the only means of preventing the monopoly of the Caledonian Company. On every principle of fa.r play, and the granting of conapetiti.m to the i , ublie, see ing that the whole of the Inhabitants of Niih:cl.ale were in favour of the line, he trusted the House would confirm the decision of the Committee. On these grounds he supported the Committee, anc hoped they would he supported in what they had done, so as to put an end to an injurious monopoly. Mr. BRIGHT said, that the committee had been sitting upon the Bill for three weeks, and that they had taken every possible fact into their consideration, and they arrived at the conclusion, that it was desirable that ihore should be a line through the part of the e nuti y N here it was proposed Th, couitnitt.-e hail not even a distal it in o r on, a were m 1. o ordinary iniellimence iie w..u:d presume.

After f Lord Dalhousie, which was to the effect that It tohfecapportaleroonf Committees of the House to rest rict the expett was u in n e mmit it ees, au railways, he went on to call the attention of Coth eCommittee to the fact, that various Bills passed b y thorising the expenditure of immense sums of money fu the third construction of railways had been thro wn out on th reading. This he considered showed that the House of Com mons was determined to .carry out in practice the opinions It had expressed with respeett to railway projects of minor lin -IPortance, and that tt would be-better for Committees not to Pass Bills which, for the large sums of money required to construct them, wenld afterwards be thrown out by the House. Then the Committee wets called upon to consent to a 13111, the promoters of which pledged themselves not to raise more than'33o,oool. betore 1848, att , r paying the Interest on calls; What, after the payment of cousisel, engl goers, surveyors, and solicitors, would remain, out of this sum, for the construction of their line ? Why, the line to Andover, without the purchase of land, would Cost 300,0001., so that if the whole of the land necessary for the,,.line from Southampton to Andover was _given to them they could' not open that portion of the line before 1848. Lord Shaftesbury's Bill specified that the land, necessary for the purposes of a railway, should be purchased within three.years :after the passing of the Bill. Then, after 1845, they were to be ern- Wwered to raise 750,0001. Now, what would this sum do ? It world do little or nothing towards constructing the line to a windon, and this ha believed he should prove to the satisfacNon of the Committee Then, it the Committee • would look a t the map they would see that there was by com munication north and south, and east and west, abundant for all the purposes of Os country. The-local tragic was of minor importance. There were lilies frem Reading to Itungerford, end from Reading to tishopstoke, from Basingstoke by Andover ant Salisbury to Yeovil, and south to Dorchester. The worth-west communication to the north could be effected by the Basingstoke add italisbury, and the *rut% le atiere et, and Weymouth, and so on by Bristol or Swindon ; the north-east communication was effected thorn Southampton' by Basingstoke, R ea ding, and by the Oxford and Rugby. Between Southampton and Oxford there was a break of gauge. Ile then re -lerred to the traffic, and held that the promoters of the line had in- Aimed every clodhopper wro never travelled on anything save his /pen two legs, or athwart a farmer's horse, as a person estimatid to h :egi the line, and not only had they done this, but they bad actually set A ms ted that for every person of this kind on the local roads,* t wo woad use the railway —actuary doubled it. lie held also that th e w. osof the traftic estimates were fallacious, and could upt be • „.

The report on this Bill was brought up, and after a few words from Mr. GREENE, who objected to the iatroductioa of a oer• tail) daunt, Wilf wood to. THE CoRN-LAWS. The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that he had al ways risen with great diffidence in making a reply in that House, but he' never felt less &faculty than at the prsent moment, for he firmly believed th ,t a better case c uld not be made out than that which had been submitted to their Lordships. Now t bad been stated that the qtpntities of corn now under bond was 1,500,1'00 quarters, while in fact the whole quantity was only 9,i , (10 quarters. He conceived that those facts sufficiently sit wed that -here ought to be a pr..tectiou fur native industry. There ought at any rate to be son e security, an' if this security were given there was little doubt about the question ; but whether be question were settled this way or than he con ceived that some sufficient security sh ,, uld be given Ur the oh set vance of the compact. In the southein parts the scarcity was owing to the alarming drought ; from one end of Europe to the otner the same sad e arc, was felt. Any N..ble Lord Mho was in the habit of reading the newspapers might see that in Poland, Russia, and oilier corn producing countries, the people were not in a state at deficiency, but they might almost say in a state of starvat;ou and death. It wit! also notorious that in the south of Europe, Natolia and other provinces, the people are actually dying by the road side. He would. thereiore, repeat the phrase, that nature, in h. r vat ions elements, was arraying herself in a eon:piracy agains• them. The Noble Lord had stated that an immense quantity of corn would be forced into the market, aush as had never been heard of. He quoted the returns for the year, 1844, 1845, and 1846. Why he did not quote the returns of the preceding years he (Lord Dalhousie) did not know. He supposed it was nhnscro soncto, a sacred number. He would call toe attention 01 the House to the fact. that the sear before, in 1843, there were 840,000 quarters of wheat imported. being more than double the quantity imported in the year 1844 He could inform their Lordships, that during four weeks in the year 1842. .under the existing law, there was admitted 2,100 t.iae quarters of wheat. Lcrd ASH fillltlON At what amount of duty ? Earl of DALHuUSIE—The average price was from 645. to 61s. 10d.. and the average duty was, he believed, firm Bs. to Its. per quarter. - There was alto admitted 2.017.0 0 quar ters. And this qurntity of wheat, be it remembered, had been admitted at the same amou:.t of duty as that uroposed by seve ral Lords themselves in the course of the late debi . e.. While hits Noble Friend told them that they should not pro ceed hastily, but should do something to let that large quan tity of corn out of bond, he would tell them that her Ala jetty's Government had adopted such measures. They were well aware that, on the passing of any resolution affecting any particular duty, a Treasury (infer was issued for the admission of the at ticle to the intended reduced price, bond being given that in case of the measure not passing into a law, the duty should be repaid to the Treasury. He felt it necessary to o pp ose the motion of his Noble Friend, for it was calculated to do more mischief to the holders of corn than it did good to them. The resolution, if passed in its present shapes ro u u' d . refuse to admit cord which had been a long time in bli.n", tge less certain conditions were complied with , whi le ' altogether. corn which arrived the week aftert he passing of the resolution wood escape the r esolu e tro inasmuch as He would repeat that if their Lordships adopted this resolution they would commit a most unjust act, ot because. their existing law of 1842. did b his Noble it Coe to be im ported until it reached a certeain 60s.p per quarter. His Noble Friend's resolution , must b although he Friend admitted that in the course of his speec , h,. t in to th ar e t p ossi bly did not mean to have that admission.—( Hear , were p le ass w e h d o , were re would e n agmagoeu, hear ) If this resolution absolute pri.hibition. The_ peo ple corn trade had net expected such a course as that pro posed phi b his Noble Friend, and he (Lord Dalhousie) aga i n conteed d it it were passed, those individuals would be most jured. His Noble Friend had said, take time. Why, seriously in. e. b ee n discussing this questi on o f t h e corn 1 they h a d mon hs.—( Hear, hear.) Time, therefore, aws for th e l ast li ve in the considerati on question. Th e individuals of this was n o t an e l ement con cerned had kept t h eir • grain In band, burdened by all the ex pense of so luring during th e whole of th e l ast fi ve months• whilst they had b een di th, spee c h es i n the Howe Commons the corn quest i on . D ur i ng they bad not heard a word whispered in support of the course resolution o f hi s N oble Friend, norhad a recommended by the word been whispered err to that effe c t i n th • Lordships' House during the whole of these discussions , and and asked their Lordships to pass an ex post facto law. And this w s not all, for if this resolution were adopted by their LorrlThips, he submitted to their Lordships that they would be crs.nple ely d .luded in their intention• to serve the interest of the parr. s to- whom the Nob... Lind bad shown so much coma is,eration. Thee would even injure toe Loiders of grain in the moat serious manner.—(Hear, hear,) His Noble hind bad adverted to the cam of 1620, bot tit WO WU 119 aerriblance betwee+ the two case.. Grain in :8 0 waa. witted because of the scarcity which then existed, and there• tore there was something like a plausible reason for the course which was adopted in the year 1826.e5• (Hear.) But he re eated, that for the last five mouths they had been d ,, cusssing the question of the repeal of the _ present corn-laws, and that the unfavourable effects, if there were any, had been produced long since.—( Hear, hear.) MI transactions with re.pect to corn in bond. external as well as internal, were now finished. Ha firmly beliesed that what* ever would be the effect of the Csrn Bill now pending, the - Interests of the cultivators of corn would be best served bt as speedy a settlement if the question as po.s.ble.—( Cheers, and ironical cheers.) He well understood the cl e'r of the Noble Duke on the cross benches. and of the Noble Earl oppositei but he would repeat that expression of his ..pinion. He must, however. admit that the conduct of the Government in pro• posing by their Bill a delay of three years, Bas wise and just. —( Hear, hear. ) He was certain that the worst thing that coned happen to those opposed to the corn question. would be to postpone the pas lug of the mix ore. There had been a large importation rif silk expected. anti it was thought that that supply would lower the price of that article; but suck was not the fact, for since the supply that had been .eceived. the pace bad materially advanced.—(Hear, beer ) Hell° believed that the same w o uld b e th e case w ith corn. trusted their Lordships would not give their support to the Lble Lord's resolte tun. Lout N AIRD sa'd that what he stated on a former evening was that he did not believe there could he great quan ti!i. s of corn imported at much less pi ices than it could be sold for in this c , untry. Indeed he was sure that the asipply would be most deficient from abroad, and as a proof of it he had had a conversation with a g.ntleruan from Holland, oho in formed him that the supply of corn in hat country was very small, and that he had come to England to nu: chase a large quantity. He held in his hand the report from Mat k-lane of that day ; it stated that corn had advanced la., oats the seiner and that the supply was very short ; nu panic was expected. Earl GREY trusted that the House would not agree to the motion 01 the Noble Lord, without at least something was po,nted out as the result of it. The Noble Lent (Dalhousie) had shown the injury wr,ich the resolution would do with re spect to the corn in bond. Was this reso uttun a roundabout way of throwing out the Bill which stood for a third reading on Tuesday? Lord ASHBURTON—No. Earl GREY—The Nob e Lord said, no. If he did not mean to throw it out, why bring in such a resolution? It was shown that such a resolution would have the contrary 4.'44 to tie.t intended, If :t really was an intention to defeat the ra , a; sure, why not make an amendment to the third reading? It it was not to throi it out, but to give time for a new measure to be formed, why not have moved that the third reading be postponed for a fortnight, so as to give time fora measure to be prepared ? He looked upon this motion as an indirect attempt to throw out the Bill, and he hoped their Lordships would not sanction it. _ _ _ Lord HEDESDALE said the Noble Lord who spoke last had misunderstood the intention of the Noble Lord who had moved th►s resolution. It was said that the resolution would do great injury to the importer of corn, but was the injury wh►ch would result to the grower by the passing of the Bill not to be taken into account? He would support the reso lution. _ _ . Lord ELLENBOROUGH agreed with the President of the Board of Trade, that the effect would be contrary to that intended by .the resolution. He trusted that they would not delay the measure by passing this' resolution. but that they•would at once sett .e their minds upon the subject e , and ease the anxiety of the public, who looked torward to th passing of the measure. The Earl of WICKLOW said he would support the reso lution, not with the view of throwing out the Government measure, as was stated by the Noble Loa (Grey), but becarse he thought it one which, it carrie‘s, would have a most beneficial effect. Lord ASIIBURTON replied. He did not wish to take. up their time at any length, bu', as a measure of justice to the agricultural interest; he had telt a his duty to picipme the re solution. He had, after the expression of their Lordships' opinion on he Corn Bill, no desire to keep back that measure by anything he could say or do ; still t here being great_ danger likely to arise from the sudden intrn•uction of 'such' a .arge quantity of grain, he considered it was incumbent on them to guard against tny evil that might arise. He felt strongly en the punt, as he thought the danger was fiery great. It was for them to take it ire° their grave consirleration a:AI decide according!), ant he wou d now leave it in their hands. Their Lordships then di , ided on the resolution— , u nient ••• 47 Not content. Majority against tt•e re•ulutton . 0•:• GUS r 0 DIMES BILL Oti the motion that the House resolve itseif into Committee on this Bill, 'rue Duke of RICHMOND rose to present a petition from a number of Mace , estield silk weavers, agamst those portions the branch of trade iti which th y h petithn, which the Noble Unite r. ad at ia o ,r f ne nit,gte e .na rested.a tax l slid commented a ffecting' inmented on as he went along, was to the effect hat if he exis ing protection was withdrawn • from the branch of trade in witch tl - .ey were en gaged, it would be ruined. He also pr.ssented petition from the Spi!sields 'severs, praying to be heard by couosei at the bar ot the House, against the tepee! of the duty on toreigh silks. The Noble Duke said he had given up the conviction that the Corn WI would not pa,s—still, though be believed that Bill would now pass, Slough it might be, only for a temporary period, yet t.iat was no reason why he should give up the case ut protection. He still adhered to that principle. arid wculd take every opportunity of standi g up in defence of native industry. He would sumer t the prayer of the petition. He thought they ought to be allowed to be heard by counsel that was all they required; and surely their Lordships would taut deny th it which had been slowed to the corporations of England, nd other parties whose rights were about to be in vaoed. The Spitaltie.ds weavers had suffered much, but they had been ever loyal to the Sovereigit, and their case, therefore, was tote that claimed their es, ecial onsideration. All they asked was, merely to be listened to fur a short time by the counrol which they had instruete4 to appear in their behalf. He would conclude by moving that the petitioners be heard by co.nsei at the bar of the House. The k arl of DALHOUssIE must, however ungracious the task, oppose the motion that had been mute. He admitted that in many cases counsel had been heard in - regard to particular measures, but these cases were tufferent to the one of the present petitioners. In the totmer the ea-e* were when particular trades or interests were to b,-; affected by some special measure, whereas this was a general measure, only incidentally affecting the pe it oners as well as a great number of other individuals. The Noble Loris here cited the cases in question, and against them referred to several circumstances in which the House had ruled that measures of general policy could not be appealed against by any special interest. It the Spitaltields weavers were heard against the present measure, how could they refuse other trades that would be affected by the Bill, who mi,,ht pray for a similar privilege! —( Hear, hear.) The public business of the country he was persuaded could not go on if such a precedent were a lowed. Lord BROUGHAM considered that there was a great amount of difficulty and intricacy in the silk trade, with which their Lordships could not be made converran unless they were to hear some person specially in structed. .• The Node Duke on the cross-benches had made c- rtain statements with reference to the ansount ~f protection._ The petitioners had stated, that if they were allowed to be heard at the bar they could prove that Vae real amount of the protection was reduced at least 50 peer cent. He (Lord Brougham) had nothing to say in opposition to the principle of the Bill, but he should be sorry to exclude any in formation from their Lordships. He had every confidence in the integrity of the petitioners and he cud not think that it was tor any purposes of delay that they proposed to he heard at the lar of their Lordship? House. He did not think that it was ans answer to the petitioners to say that they were not the only sufferers by the proposed measure. He should most cer ta.nly wish to have the pa-ties heard. He did not know how his Noble Friend on the Treasury benches could make the statement that there was 110 precedent for the measure. In the year IEOB, he (Lord Brougham) had himself bees heard as counsel at the bar of the Hone., and had been allowed to examine forty or fifty wit n,sses on the subject. He had made speeches on the sub•- ject . A short-hand note of the proceedings was taken by Mr. tilanchard, which was printed it.r the use of their Lordships. The original might no doubt be obtained from the executors and a-signees ut that gentleman. In the ye . ..t. 1812, it tr i rnedl out that. they were right in the conclusions to which 11., e) ay. rived. Ceunsel were also heard against the Alunicipit Corpoa rations Act. He though; that ash- n their Lords'nips were Passing any great measure, thn y should not hsirry it for ward without knowing he bearings and details of the case. He considers d the Spitalfields weavers were a most deserving body of men, and that they deserved the kindest attention of their Lord ships. They vvt re a numerous, ingenious. and incluse nous clans of people. He bad known them in prosperity, and he had se in them in their accumulation of distress. He had seen them at tae time when the zitafieids' rioters held out Brea - expectatiocs t., them—, nose riots which ended in ne execution of the sailor Cashman. 1 hey baloly and manfully bole up under their di , apptioted expectations. He would certainly vote ill taut ur of the motion if i. was pressed to a division. Lord ELL isN BOROUGH was always sorry to differ with, his Noble a n d L earne d F r i en d. H e t h oug h t h e was ttshea with the recollection of his early victories. Hy, th. ught such a proposition would tend to the destruction 'of all public bet-mess. The Noble Lord had stated as a reaste , for hearing eouteel at the bar, that their Lordships were 'not sufficiently versed in the mysteries of the si k trade. 'Their Lordships might obtain more information from the ev;dlence before the House than from any counsel who might be supposed to in struct th it Lordships. It tne petitioner's were ellowed to be heard on behalf of the silk trade, why should they not be heard on the linen, the cotton trade, an'd the timber trade? . If their Lordships allowed counsel to tee heard at the bar on behalf of the Spitalfields weavers against the Bill, it would be their duty likewise to hear speeches from counsel representing all the trades that would be affected by this Bill.
