At the ANNIVERSARY MEETING of the SOCIETY, held at Freemasons'-hall, Great Queen4treet, on Monday, the 2d of :lune, 1823, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU CESTER. Patron, in the Chair, the foll Owing ResolutiOns were unanimously agreed to It was moved by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester, and seconded by Lord Calthorpe, I. That the substance of the Report which had been now teed, with such additions thereto as may be considered ad visable, be printed and circulated, under the direction of the Committee. It was moved by Earl Grosvenor, and seconded by Sir James Mackintosh, M.P. 2. That this meeting uenves sincere gratification from the increasing prosperity , and usefulness of this institution, from the public interest which continues to prevail for the improvement of prison discipline, and for the measures now in progress for the erection of new anti the amendment of old prisons. That, notwithstanding, however, the visible progress of amelioration, it is yet painful to reflect that a considerable number of prisons, 'especially those under local jurisdiction, are devoid of classifica tion and employment, and of that discipline which can alone 'correct and reclaim the offender, in some cases confounding in one common association the several distinctions of character and Crime, and are otherwise in such a state as to call imperiously for the interference of the Legislature. That it is, therefore, with antious solicitude this meeting looks forward to the completion of those measures which are now before Parliament, for the con: solidation and amendment of prison law's; convined that legis latiVe enactments, founded on wise principles, are indispens ' able, before the prisons of this kingdom can be regulated by a system that will at once deter the criminal, yet promote his re formation, and add to the public welfare and security by the prevention, of crime. It was moved by Wm. Wilberforce, Esq. • M.P.; and se conded by Sir Thomas Dyke -Acland, Ban. M.P. 3. That the respectful thanks of this meeting be presented to the Magistracy throughout the kingdom, to whom the 11,14 provement of prison discipline has been so essentially indebted, for the cordial Co-operation which they have evinced, in pro. !noting the designs of' this institution. • It was moved by the Right Hon. J. M. Barry, M.P.; and seconded by W. Caras Wilson, Esi. M.P. 4. That'the situation of a criminal youth disposed to abandon his vicious courses, but discharged from prison without money, character, or friends, is one which has strougeleims as well on the interests as on the compassion of the public. That the nu. merous boys' thus circumstanced, who, on their liberation from the goals of the Metropolis, have received relief from the Prison Discipline Society, a nd the succ es s o f it s en d eavours ' to reform, entitle the Institution to the warm support of the enlight ene d and benevolent; and that it is, therefore, with deep regret this Meeting learns that the Committee have, during the past year, been compelled to deny assistance to Many whoni timely relief might have rescued from guile and misery. It was moved by the Right lion. Sir 'George Rose, Bart., ,111. P.; and seconded by the Rev. Thomas Loyd, n loyd, of He. ford. , S. That the grateful thanks of this Meeting be presented to Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, for the benefit which the institution has derived front his illustrious patron age, the obliging readiness with Which he has participated in the labours of the Committee, and for die urbanity with which he has presided on the present occasion. The object of this Institution is to extend those principles, and promote. those desis, to diffuse which the l a b ours o f Howard, and other eminent philanthropists, have been di rected. The Society ascertains and recommends those plans for the regulation of prisons, which experience bus proved bon. calculated to inspire the criminal with the dread of imprison.. 'tient, and to induce him,. on his liberation,, to abandon his ' guilty habits. The Society collects and transmits information, prints and disperses useful publications, prepares such de signi for the erection of new and _alteration of old prisons, as are best adapted to ensure the classification, inspection, religious instruction, hard labour, and regular employment, of the criminal. ..... In the course of their visits to the gaols in the metropolis, the Committee very frequently meet with thstitute boys, who on their discharge from confinement, literally know not whe re to lay th e i r h ea d s . T o assist such friendless outcasts has been the practice of the Society, anti to render this . relief more efli cscious, a Temporary' Range has been established for such as are disposed, to abandon 'their vicious courses. This .asylum .has been instrumental in affording assistance 'to a considerable number of distressed youths, who, but for this seasonable aid, must have resorted to criminal practices for support. On ad. mission into this establiShment, the boys ;u:e instructed in moral anti religious duty, subjected to habits of order and industry, and after a time are placed in situations wrileh afford a rea. tunable-prospect of their becoming honest and useful members of.tOciPtP, • ro extend these objects; and to render its exertions more widely-, beneficial, the Society solicits the aid of public be nevolence. Its expenses are unavoid a bly serious, and its feeds are of .present very low ; but it is trostvl.that pecuniary su p. port will not be withheld, When it is considered, that on the li berality with which this appeal'is answered depends, in a great measure, the success of the Society!s objects--the reformation of the vicious; and the prevention of crime: An annual subscripuorr of one guinea', or a donation of .ElO 10s. constitutes, a Member of this Society.

Mr. BROGDEN brought up the Report of the Committee on the plan for building a New London Bridge. He moved an instruction to the Committee to make . a provision pursuant to a resolution came to in the fortner Committee. The resolution f or ma ki ng an a d vance of money for that pur. Lose from the Consolidated Fund having been read, Mr. HUME wished to know whether the money so advanced was to be ►epaid by toll or otherwise. Mr. BROJDEN said, the advance was to be made for effect ing a great public improvement, as had been done in many other cases, and he thought such an advance could not be made for a better purpose than that of building a new bridge. Mr. II UME said the Government had objected,- and, an it 1 appeared to him very properly, to make such an advance. If they did so for the' purpose of building London Bridge, he did not see on what principle they could refuse to attend to the ap.. - plications which were constantly being made, for assistance to build bridges, and make other improv ements elsewhere. Be wished to know whether such applications were in all instances tale attenied to, or whether this was to be a solitary case.— Supposing such to be the intention, he did not ace why the 7in lethitants of Carli s l e and other places, should b e ca ll e d upon to • contribute to the biniding of a new Lotidon Bridge. Mr. Alderman WOOD thought his lion. Friend had not taken a right vi ew o f t hi s subject. lie then described th e sa . orifices made by th e Ci ty o f L on d on t O effect this great object, I' and stated th at - t h e money to be a d tanced was not to be ad . vanced all at once. I t wou ld b e seven years 'before the whol e amount called Jim would be paid, and, in his opinion, a b etter I measure could not be p ropose d to the House The SPEAKER snit], the only question that could be raised I now was whether or not the advac e .proposed to be made I ought to be advanced from the Cen so n lid e r e d Fund. The sum to be called for was . Atri aletner this S h ou ld be vanced as a loan, or in another way, Was matter for future con. sideration. Mr. H. SUMNER did not consider this advance was to be made as a loan, brit as a contribution towards the expense eland on acc,itnt of the proposed alteration, which would amount to 650,000/. Th e B r i dge itself would not co g more then 400,000!, ; but as it was thought it would be a reproach' to the Metropolis, if the approach es to the Bridge were not to correspond with the Bridge itself in magnificence, this caused 'the additional outlay. I GOlTlMittee did not like to commence tkir operations before they were enabled to see their way through th e undertaking. The rebuilding of the Bridge, would, save many liver. ; u;(1 As a national work and , an ornament to the ,Metropolis, lie did not see that those who lived at a distance ought t o o bj ect to contribute to the ex p ense. Mr. RICA RDO said, to the mo ney was n o t to b e lo s t, if interest were to be paid on the sum advanced, er if the cn'ntal were to be paid, 'he should agree with the last speaker. The Resolution was agreed to. ASSESSED TAxEs. Mr. MO:MEN brought tip o n the 'c A 'composition fo r the sussed Taxes, which Was agreed to, and a Bill ordered. the R port of the Committee e RECIPROCITY OF DUTIES. • HUSKISSON moved that the H a ouse should go into Committee on the above Bill. The motion inns ugreed to, and th e House resolved itself into the Committee. Mr. addressed the Committee in explanation of the objects of the 'Bill. Engli s h s hip s , he stated, had been allowed by the laws of this country to import goods hot foreign countries under the circumstances of advantage which were denied to foreign vess e l s . T his cou ld no t h ave proved beneficial bad no foreign nations for a time acquiesced in it. Their attention once directed to it, the edvantages' which had been enjoyed by this country were not likely to continue. It had so happened that that country which was next to this in inercentile importance, the United S tates of America, on looking into this S hj e c t., had been induced to re taw on En t ileed, by iniposing heavier duties on goods ini ported in Bntisit ships, than attached to those carried Over in vessels belonging to the United States. (heat inconvenience resulted frent this, as it was obvious that if the duties were so high that they more than counterbalanced the height, no goods would be imported into either country, but thole carried by ships belonytng to that country... In consequence of this both nations had agreed to abate that war of prohibitory d ut i es that had been waged, and now the same duties attached to goods transported in English ships as were paid on those which went in American .vessels, a _like advantage having been giveo to the subjects of America trading to this' couutry.— 'ln (=sequence of this arr a rigetnent, we, h a d been , obliged to make a similar change in , favour of Po r tugal, as w s stocd bound by treaty to place that coun try on a footing with the most favoured" nations. After thi s ot h er countries were induced to have recourse to measures similar to those which had been atlopted.hy America. In July, 11;21, th e G oe vernment of the. United Netherlands passed a law, imposing 4 duty of 10 per cent; on goods imptneed in For e i gn vessels, over and above th a t t o which those imported in other' were liable. There was _reason to believe, from the mauler In which' 'this law had been passed by the Government of the _United Netherlands, that the object in view was rather to warn us against persevering in our present policy, than, to. make the change which had been anneutierd a part or their permanent system, as the laW, though p asted It2l, was not to take etrert tin the htvihning ' Prussia m like manner had now raised her duties, and iodinated that it was her intention,if England peeseveraiu,ter present PolleY, to follow her ex. ' ample. Under these eiremnstancs he thought it desirable that a ineasure ofre'ciproeity should be adopt ed toregulate our commer cial intercourse with other nations. lie was sure this would provn,beneficial in a tglitical poiwenbl abate tho se Sourees-ofjealousy Anti initatiPTl which 'had hitherto exist.ed. 'Vitiate who argued in favour ore different li ne of policy For nt pf view, it got that commerce wits not the t iid but the means of Increasi ng the wealth °firmalrd, and that any thing which gave effect to thoae means must oenetit all parties, but especially that country which had the grchtest share of commerce and capital. lie knew that in certain quarters it was apprehended that the mea sure now contemplated would prove prejudieltd to the nevi.: gation of Great Britain. But in' thought the shippin g :in te re st of this country had nothing to fear from competition '*itit that of any other nation. It was not for the benefit of the, wimmowanrammomormagrear ' community that a course: should be persevered in, whi 'Ai, if ships went out to Holland or any other places Icith goods, would compel them to make one of gieir voyages in ballast. If he sent a waggon empty to Birmingham there to be. lo.uled, an expellee would naturally attach to the .procettling for which the. consumer of the goiids would not be much obliged to him. With the advantages which this country possessed, he would not suppose it was unable to compete with any other. The measure :now proposed, he was confident, would . promote the interests of this country, as lie was convinced that it was for the interest of England to have her commereisl relations ex tended in all parts of the world. The mode which hu now pro. poSed for the regulation of commercial duties, was to give power to the King in Council to declare that the duti a attach. mg to goods imported in foreign vessels, should be but equal to those which attached to tuerchantlize exported in British vessels to the countries front which foreign vessels came. It was, however, necessary, in case other nations would con_ tinue to impose high duties on goods carried out in }lritish vessels, to give the King in Council the power of retaliation.— Ilowas aware that some jealousy might be excited by a prop°. sition which went to give the Crown the power of putting ott or of taking oil' an impost, but in truth then was but little ground tbr such jealousy, as it was only proposed to authorize the Crown to declare it fact, and to apply a pnneiple where this became necessary. He had reason to know that Prussia was willing to abate all their discritninatina duties if we did the same. The. Prussian Minister had declared that :mimed re strictions were reciprocal nuisances, which were prejudicial to the interest s o f t i ll countr i es, but noire especially to that country which had most intercourse and most capital. Ile therefore was friendly to the principle of affording reciprocal facilities to the vessels of both nations. The Right tionour.. able Gentleman concluded by moving—," That it is the opinion of this Committee that his )lajesty be authorized to no late, by Order in Council, t h e d ut i es on Importation and exportation, so as to admit goods brought to this country in foreign vessels, with, the like duties, drawbacks, and allow ances which were imposed on and granted in favour of goods carried in English vessels to the countries from which such vessels carne.il • Mr. ELLICE said, concurring, as he did, in almost ell that bad fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman, he would not go into any length of detail, but he called ort,„the Hight Hon. Gentleman, as he had done lastlear, to talte.6are that he did put the shipping of this country on the same footing as that on which the shipping interest of other cOuntries stood, He expressed it to be his intention to support the nitasure in every stage. _ _ • Sir. SYKES hoped the Right4fon, Gentlem an would pause before he pressed this measure, that the 'merchants and all con nected with the shipping interest mi g ht h a i e t i me to make those represent a ti ons which they might consider necessary. While on his legs, he, thought it right to direct the attention of the House to the enormous Consulate fees which were exacted in 80111 Q places,. and which increased in account in .proportion as the parts in which the Consuls resided, were distant from this country. Air. HUSKISSON had no desire to hurry the measure. lie wished the Resolutions to be printed, that Gentlemen affected by them might have an early opportunity of knowing what watt intended to be carried into effect, Mr. WALLACE expressed his perfect concurrence with the Bill. The present ayStem of duties could, : .not continue without producing retaliatory measures. The Opposition of the ship,owners to this measure 'he should nut consider :very for as in various instances, where they had come forward in the same way, it had been proved that they were decidedly in the wrong. lie had no fear that the shipping interest of England would be found unable to compete with that of other nations. • Mr. ROBERTSON thought he could prove that which was diametrically opposite to what bad been stated by the Right Hon. President of th e B oar d o f Trade. He was satisfied that our shipping trade was leaving us. Between 1221 and 1823 there was a falling off in ship-building to the amount of 161 his anti 122,0110-tons, and within the same period our nays. plums had been diminished by 732 ships, 129,000 tons and 8,000 seamen. Ile was of opinion . the present duti es oug h t net to be abandoned : America had demanded h similar change of system front France, but the demand had not been complied with. America upon this had not perseYered in the demand, nor retaliated, but had contented herself with imposing some light duties on 'certain commodities. Our shipping interest could not compete with that of other countries under the advantages to which it would be exposed if , this measure were carried. Sir I. COFFIN thought a great alarm was excited in the shipping interest about nothing at all. Mr. _RICARDO thought the present system injurious to all partieii. was ,opinion that the shipping interest.in this couclUry could compete with the Shippin g interest in any other, and wished the me asu r e now contemplated to be adopted. Mr. T. WILSON approved of the . measure, and thought it Wise; still keeping the power of retaliation in our own hands, to enable the Government to make concessions in favour-of other countries.. Mr. IVIARRI 'AT thought imposing higher duties.= qoods imported in foreign vessels than were paid in - those cart i el in British ships, must provoke measures of retaliation. 'What had been stated with respect to France and Atnerica was in correct. It was.true that America had claimed reciprocity of duties, and that , France had refused compliance. The cattle quence was that America retaliated. France replied to this by entbreing sdll higher Judea ; and thus matters went on till no thing could be imported to the one country in the ships of the. other. English *hips were in consequence called in to take :goods front France to America, and to carry back goods from America to France, till at length France conceded the point, and reciprocal diadem between the two countries were now, established. With sonic reservations, he was in favour of the measure. Mr. C. GRANT stated, great inconvenience to be sustained wider the present system, anti this furnished an unanswerable argument against postponing the measure till next Scssion. An additional number 9 t Dutch ships bad been recently got ready to carry on that bustnetts.',- which had heretofore been enjoyed by this country, and which, if the were not speedily intro duced, would pais into th e h an d s o f ot he r p owers.

GAME LAWS. • Lard M TLTON' did not know what arrangement would be made with respect to the (lame Laws in the. present Session,' but he tose to give, notice that in the next he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal the Act commonly called " Mr: Bankes's Act," to prohibit the purchase of (tame. • If he succeeded in this, he should probably fellow up the men. sum by inoviug to repeal those laws which prohibited the sale of Game. ENG lASI{ CATHOLIC'S': Lord NUGENrpostponed his motion respecting the dis qualification of English Catholics till T ues d ay . BEER RETAIL BILL. ' Mr. BROUGHAM postponed the becond reading of the Beer Retail Bill till Monday. The Report of the Reeognizaves Bill was breught up and agreed to, and the ordered to be read u third time on Alonday. . • . 601,, RN moved that the house s h ould go into a TITIIES_COIDIUTATION BI 414 Committee On the Commutation of Tithes Bill. Air.

Mr. DENNIS BROWNE also °Named thobill.

BANK ES objected to the Bill front the ootvinttice. • meet, and his o'eiection hal been increased by the , discussions which had taken place upon it. Mr. WETHERELL said, that if a division should bike place be woull vote against the Speaker leaving - the Chair. He thought an enabling Bill would be batter, and ouch Mole likely to succeed then a compulsory Bill. He particularly ob jected to the power which was contended for, of giving the- ar bitraters a:power to diminish, as well as a power to add to the value of the livings. Mr. Secretary CANNING said, the importance of the sub ject was a reason for the Speaker leaving the Chair. On. doubtedly many objections must present themaelves to such a measure as the present; but theta were best discussed after the Bill had gone through a Committee, and received ell the assistance which could there be given ft. If it were to be thrown out in its progress towards perfeetiein, each - party would contend that he had gained the victory. .The lion. Gentleman owed to his own argument and his own Strength to, lee the Bill go into a Committee. Any clauses which he objected to in particular, he might oppose in that Committee; should his op position be unsuccessful, his objection to the principle Would be strengthened. Colonel BARRY thought it impossible for the Bill to be treated as one of conciliation so Jong as the compulsory deem remained in i t ; th e reta i n i ng of this clause would cause the incomes of the Irish clergy to be inereraed, and render the establishment itself intolerable. He. had, hOWeVer, no objec tion to going into a Committee for the purpose of trying 'the experiment of amending the Bill. Mr. Secretary PEE.... Said it would be competent for his Right Hon. Friend to oppose the clause in question in a Coto nuttee ; and afterwards of objecting to t!!e 11111 altogether, should that clause be retained. For his awn part, he should support the DUI, even though that clause ought to be retained but he should decidedly oppose the Bill it any compulsory clause -should he retained winch did not provide for the , full indemnity to the Church. Mr. VEZEY FITZGERALD thought the chum( already adopted were so objectionable, that, he could not sanction the Bill, even if the compulsory clause were to he left out. - Ile would, however, Consent to go into the ComMittee. Col. TRENCH spoke in favour of going into the Committee. Mr. DOMINICK BROWN eaid be should not divide the Ilouse upon the opposition to the Speaker leaving the Chair. The House then resolved itself into a Committee: ' On the dime for regulating the award bythe Conunissioners, Colonel BARRY prop ose d as an addition, that those who paid the 5/. a year in tithes should have the right of appeal to the Lord Lieutenant in Council, if discontented with the award of the Commissioners. Mr. WET ERELL objected to the addition, as bestowing upon the Lord Lieutenant an unconstitutional controul over the property of the Church. Mr. PLUNKETT pointed out that this was no new power, AS it was exercised in the cases of salvage, and ministers' money. It was besides requisite that some such controul should be had over the poler of the Commissioners. After a few words from Sir J. NEwhonT and Mr. V. Free- G ILAL I), the amended clause was agreed to. On the clause enabling the Lord Lieutenant to appoint an umpire in the event of the parties disagreeing, Col6el BARRY rose to say that this was, in his view, the most objectionable clause in the whole Bill, as it gave a com pulsory power to the Lord Lieutenant, which appeared to him highly arbitrary and unjust. Mr. S. RICE objected to the clause on the. ground that it gave to the Clergyman an increase of revenue, without corn pelling him to discharge all the duties, fel- the performance of which tithes were originally given. He concluded by moving a verbal amendment. Mr. 11U3IE asked whether it was intended to snore a clause giving tithes only to Clergymen residing on their cures. Mr. GOULD'URN said there was no intention to introduce such a Clause, he was however-convinced that the residence of . the Clergy would great l y promote the - peice and happiness of Ireland. Mr. BANKES oppoited the clause. - Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD voted for leaving out the clause altogether. Mr. WETHERBLL opposed the chow, on the ground that it would compel the Clergy to, take a worse ti t l e w i t h more Income. ' Mr. Secretary CANNING thought the vote of the Doti. and Learned Member ineoneistent. , Mr. GIANT said, great credit was due to Government for meeting this important question fairly in the face. On that account he was not disposed tooffer any impediment to the BM. The clause, however, was in his opinion objectionable, and perhaps the best mode of proceeding would be to omit the clause altogether. Sir J. NEWPORT said, the Bill as it stead would be a measure of war rather than peace for Ireland. Mr. DALY declared his dislike of the Bill altogether. Mr. GRATTAN thought Ireland was much obliged to the Government for bringing in the. Bill. GOULDEMN thought the Bill, without the eempul sory clause, would do much .‘ good in let-land; but,'With the compulsory clause, it w o u ld be more efficient. Sir N. COLTHURST declared his intention to vote against the compulsory elauke. - Mr. R. MARTIN said, the comulsory claus e h a d b een misrepresented. As it was o bj e ctionable, it might, however, be best to omit it. Mr. AllElt CROAI IW considered his Majesty's Govern ment entitled to thanks for bringing in the Rill, yet he opposed the compulsory clause. lf it was retained in the Hill, he thought with the lion. Colonel that the Protestant Establishmcatt in Ireland would not be worth jive years' purchase. lie recom. mended a fuir Impartial measure which would give satisfaction to all parties. Mr. `►ecretary PEEL entertained considerable oNections to the compulsory clause; anti if the amendment watch he op. posed were negatived, he should wish the clause not to be pre9cd. Sir .J NEWPORT supported the amendment. Air. V. FITZGERALD recommended it to the Honourable Gentleman to withdraw the amendment. 3tr. S. RICE signified his intention to persevere in pressing the amendment. Mr. W. RANKIN said, if the amendment were pressed, he Should WiSil to take the serine of the /louse on the whole elauge. Mr. Secretary PEEL declared, if the ainernitnera were ear-, ried,,he should then do every thing in his power to throw out the compttlsory clause altogether. Should his lion. Priend fail in it, he should then be an advocate for not presing the . original clause. an divided, when the or:unite:awl:we—. For the Anieralment A plait it itA Majority me CAM WU then agreed to. After a short conversation between Mr. S. Runt and Mr. otr Lull RN, the House resumed, the Chairman reported prow gre*s, and obtained leave to sit again on Tuesday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'CLocic this morning. -45 n don E lli t ea li :ed u .Lataerhociufse i 1 l z t3l a I)iackbird b ecame ercanwell Park * Which it first visited in Search of food anti in spring, the sable visitor built tt:nest in the corner of a shelf, where it hatched and nurturea its young.
