PARLIAMENT. DOUSE OF LORDS, Tit u itsDAY, MAY 1. Earl STANHOPE presented a petition -from C. A. Thoin son, of Ch!swick, which stated that the petitioner had, in 1811 and VIM purchased two - estates at Northaar and Pontry-Las, for which he had paid, in part, upwards of 80,0001., and grant ed a mortgage for 60,000/. (for the remainder of the purchase money.). Being'u n abl e t o p a y o ff the mortgage in 1321, he offered the estates for sale, but was unable to get for them (in , consequence of the altered Value of the currency) so much as would pay off the mortgage of 60,0110/., and the mortgagor was in consequence now applying to ho put in imssession of the two estates. The petitioner, therefore, prayed their Lordships would be pleased to suspend the operation of the law by which the mortgagor was enabled to take from him his estates, and to pass a law for the equitable adjustment of all contracts. II is Lordship, in moving that the petition do lie on the table, expressed his approbation o f t h e principle of an adjustment of contracts, and intimated his intention .of making a motion on the subject at an early period. The petition was read at length, and ordered to lie on the table. The Weights and Measures' Bill was read a second time.— The Profane Swearing Bill was read is third time, and passed. The other Bills on the table were forwarded one stage.—Ad pjourned till to-morrow (this dty.) A LIST OF THE MINORITY tvlio VOTED FOR MR.

The Fiftieth Anniversary 'Festival of this Charity was Com memorated yesterday at the Freemasons"favern. At a little after five. His Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, the Pre sident of the Soctety, took the Chair. There were about 180 Gentlemen present ; among them we noticed Robert Downe, Esq. M.P., Joseph • Hume, Esq.'lll.P., The Duke's Band attended. and amused the company with some pleasing Scotch Airs. 'rite gallery was filled by Ladies; and on the cloth being removed, Non Nobis Donato, was sung by Messrs.-Pyrie, Charles Taylor, Broadhurst, and Phillips. The ,King's health was received, with three times three, and the usual loyal toasts followed. • • His 110 vat. IlictitEss, on proposing the lie:delis of the Navy and Army, felt assured the company would not receive the toast with the less satisfaction, from many of The leaders in those noble bodies having been educated through the assistance • afl b rded them by that Charity.—(Applause.) • • The ROYAL CHAIIMAN then addressed the company.— He said that he rose to thaw their attention to the, more parti, cular objects for which they were then - assembled. 'llw Cha rity for whose welfare they had anet was founded in 1701, anti originally took its rise from the benevolence of a few in. • dividuals belonging to EdinbUrgh, whti denominated them selves" A Society for the Reformation of Manners. 7 Their efihrts were necessarily confined chiefly to °b, em within or near that Metropolis ; nevertheless the activity et its Directors soon extended its sphere, of operation, and increased the patronage and encouragement- • bestowed - 6U it, tilrat, length i t r e a ch e d the distant .glens and 'hills of the North, where swaerstition and ignorance had too long . been. triumphant. Its beneficial effects were soon evident : they gave additional influence to the exertions of the Ministry of the 'Establiihed Clergy; and, co-operating with them in their plena endeavours, tended to ameliorate the miserable condition of the people, who, from the immense extent of the parishes had been unable to perform their duties wtth regularity and success. It was hardly necessary for him, surrounded as lie washy Scott:inn eti g .to state, that many parishes in Scotland better merited the titles of counties or - provinces than that which theY now had ; some of Them were ' upwards of 40 miles in length and 20. in breadth; and it was impossible that any but those who reside. within a moderate (161.; tance of the Pastor should be bencfhted by his lab Ours Royal, Highness then gave a full and interesting atemint of the rise and progress of the. present Society, from the time of its thunder, Queen Anne,. up, to the present. period. There were now, he said, upwards of three - hundred sehools whiCh nearly fifteen thousand children were educated, and taught those useful arts . and habits of industry and of probity which were most likely to render them valuable citizens - and respect. able 'Members' of the community. His Royal Highness ex.. patiated at considerable length, and with great earnestness, on the advantages it bestowed, not only on the individuals 'whom it' succoured, hut also on the country in which. its bene volence was exercised. , Ile concluded by observing, that he felt fully confident the Charity would still continue to teceive . their generous support, and flourish even in greater prosperity than it then enjoyed.

MEETING ofMERCUAN TS and BANKERS, Yesterday a Meeting of the most eminent Mer charts and Bankers ,of the City of London, took place at the London TaVern, for the purpose of adopting measures for the greater security of the money advanced by them in the course of their commercial transactions, upon the deposit of Merchan dim, and Goods representing Merchatalize, anti for a more ade quate Protection than is at present afforded by thc English Law against the Fraudulent Conduct of Foreign Merchants. Joitx SMITH, Esq., M.P., was .unanimously called to the Chair. _ _ The CHAT rot Aw, in addressing the Meeting, said, that thin subject was certainly one of the most important that had, as yet, been submitted to a.public body. It was known to th e m that Merchants, 'tankers, and other Capitalists were in the habit of . advancing money on the security of merchandise to a consi. derable extent, as well on the deposit thereof, as in payment of bills of exchange, drawn by the consignors from foreign, or from one, port to another, within the United King. dom. To encourage the employment of capital by means of such advances, by which the amount of capital actualy engagtd in commercial operations was increased, and the trade of this mum.* was carried to a vast extent, was a sound principle of national policy ; .but was to be lamented that no adequate pro. tection was afforded 'by our law to such transactions. On the contrary, the English capitalist advanced his money at his peril and to his loss if the goods proved to be the property of any other person than the individual drawing upon the c:edit of them, although such fact was unknown and undiseoverable by the person making the advance. To provide against such a hard. ship it became the great body of the capitalists of the nation to maim every effort. It was indeed the rule of his house not to lend money at all on goods. Circumstances, however, might occasionallY occur that v..ouljapnder violation of 'that rule ne cessary : but the law•upon,Wsubject was extremely uncertain and unjust, and a deviatiiin from his,rule might be attended with great danger to property. (*levelly speaking, indeed. the practice of advancing money on goods was contrary to the well advised system of commercial dealing. It was worthy of remark, that our Scotch brethren had exhibited upon this, as well as upon other questions, a much greater degree of pru. deuce than we had exercised, as would be shewn m the course of the discussion. In fact, the 2::ttglish low on the subject was unfair and absurd in the highest degree ; for it went to prevent the circulation of capital beyond any measure thateperhaps had, ever been brought before Parliaenent. e • - _ Mr. FARRAND, M.P. rose to submit - certain Resolutions, which, he said, had been drawn up under the legal opinion and advice of Mrs. Kaye, Prolificld, and Kaye. He observed, that the rule that a factor, though clothed with apparent owner ship of goods and the power, of sale, Could-net pdedge them, or dispose of them by barter of sale, orig inated in cases eetermined a century ago, an d . turned princi pal ly on apparent fraud u l ent colhisionstetween the factor and t he individual 'With whom the goods were deposited—that the Courts of Law h a d carr i e d t h e ,principle to such an extent, as to render all advances on goods extremely dangerous, by exposing English Capitalists who ad. vaneed money on merchandise, to frauds on the part of foreign merchants which our system encouraged. The in justice was pale pable. Any direlictions of duty, as between the principal and his factor, ought to be visited with severe penalties, such as were pro. vided in the case of agents who embezzled securities And other effects deposited for safe custody ; but so far as other persons were interested in the transaction, without knowing of any breach of confidence committed by the factor, the principal ought to be bound ,by. the act of his own agent.—Mr. Farrand then cited proofs of the hardship and iinpoli t y of th e ru l e Of l aw a l. proofs of the hardship and impoli&y of the rule Of law al luded to. If a merchant,, residing in another port of Great Britain, consigns goods"to u London merchant, or factor, and draws on him. in anticipation of the proceeds, the London merchant or factor, though he has every reason to believe the consignor to be the proprietor, and no suepitions of the contrary may nevertheless be compelled to surrender the possession of such goods, provided any other party, either in England, Scotland, Ireland, or any foreign country, has any interest iii them. If a foreign merchant being a creditor of an English merchant, ships goods to the latter anti draws bills of exchange in anticipation of the prociede of the full ex. tent of his former debt, and the English Merchent.(who would in law be deemed a factor) to enable him to meet the bill, if his principal should borrow the amount from an English capi talist upon the credit of the goods, it was a question of doubt whether the foreigner was not entitled to the possession of his goods' without repaying the advances, although they were applied in payment of his bill, because the factor having paid only the amount of his debt, as between him and his principal, would have no claim upon the consignment.. Here was a very great hardship indeed, and one that had been felt severely.— Again, if an English merchant should purchase goods in his own namee and pay for them, and leave them in posses s i on o f the same factor from, whom they were purchased, in order to wait an opportunity to sell them at a profit, and, inconsequence of the depressed state of the market, should obtain a loan from the factor upon the credit of the goods, it would be competent to a third person to recover the goods from the factor without allowing any part of his advances, upon proof that the goods were in fact purchased for his account: although that fact was known only to such third person and his agent Even the freight and duties on goods could not be safely advanc ed, unless the bills of lading chewed that they were the roe petty of the party for whose accoun t such advance might be made. _ Another great defect in the existing law was, that if an English capitalist had advanced money to a factor, either residing here or abroad, upon merchandize, on which the factor had a lien for advances made by him, that lien could not be made available to the party that lent the money, but the goods might be taken out of his hands by the true owner, without paying to him even the money due to the agent or factor. The Scotch law gave to the Scotch capitalists the same advantage over the English merchants which foreigners pot. eessed, and it was obvious thet it Would be for the advantage of commerce that this anomaly should, be abolished, and the laws of neighbouring trading communities should_be assimilated as much as. possible. 01 the impropriety of the law the Judges seemed to be aware, but they still acted upon it. Mr. Farrand concluded with proposing Resolutions which embraced the whole subject to which the attention of the Me et ing w as ca ll e d, anti moved that a petition should he presented to Parliament, that an inquiry should be instituted into the state of the ob. noxious law, and a remedy provided for the evils complained of. Mr.. SHAW (the Banker) said, it appeared to him that too confined a view had been taken of the subject. The interests of the merchants were the only interests considered, at the s.srno time that it was well known that the bankers were affected by securities of a different description from those alluded t 0...-. Bankers were in the habit of receiving Exchequer Bills anti East India Warrants as securities. for n on. Exchequer Bills were often placed in the hands of Brokers to sell ; but the Brokers, instead of Making the sale, borrowed money on the bills, anti the security became unavailable if the principal made his demand. The same was the case with East India livarrants. Mr. llaxxi:e• (the Banker) pressed the seine objection. As Bankers they acted differently from the 31 erchants. They gave no credit, but they were often led into error by giving money on securities. Pansitriutas said, there was a striking . difference be tween securities representing goods, a nd securities representing Money. With r e spect to goods, th ey m i g h t b e trace d to their apparent source surd ownership, and yet the law gave no pro tection to the person who advanced money on them, as a third person might come forward to prove his claim. No intelligence would secure the merchant. It was different with the Bankers. If the Exchequer Bills left with them as securities were made payable to bearer," they were, according to the decision of the Courts, negociable. None, in fact, of the cons equences at tached to otitis, could attach to Exchequer Bills. Mr. Fresh field, having answered some other objections made by the Bankers, to the full satisfaction of the Meeting, concluded with observing, that the question might sustain an injury in its pro gress in Parliament, if two subjects so materially different were pressed together. Besides, he did not think in his conscience that the Bankers needed more security than they had. A MerchLt here rose and said, he thought the Bankers had taken an interested view of this question, and were setting at risk the remedy for the great evil, by the consideration for them selves. If the Meeting confined itself to the subject, as it wa* stated by those who brought it forward', all the advantages which the Bankers supposed were denied to them would follow. Mr. 'l'. WILSON, M.P. said he felt for the foreign Mer chants. *Care should be taken that those who abused the trust reposed in them by foreign capitalists should be punished. If' it was easy for factors in this country to part with the goods con signed to their care, they should be made to feel in proportion for the breach of confidence. Another Merchant said, that in consequence of the knowledge which foreign capitalists had of the state of the law, they were unwilling to advance their money on merchandise; but if the defect were remedied, the hesitation would no longer exist. The CHAluwa thought the Officers of the Crown friendly to a change in the law, and that if the question were brought forward at once, the Bill might get through Parliament this Session. Mr. Ifsmitt v again suggested, that *resolution should be adopted, including the securities which they were in the habit of receiving. Mr. FitEsnritLi) thought it was absolutely necessary to keep the subject unmixed. Before the Committee of the }louse of Commons an inquiry would doubtless take place, and the suggestion of the Bankers undergo a proper investigation. The introduction of it, however, now, would perhaps militate against. the reception of the petition in the House. A desultory conversation then took place, after which the Ite. solutions were agreed to, and a petition to Parliament signal Thanks having been voted to the Chairman for hisconduct in the Chair , and to Mr. Farrand for bri ng i ng f orwar d t h e sub ,keet, the fleeting separated.
