Upwards of 500,0001. a year was levied petition with North American commodities in the West in the colonies under the British Custom-house officers, Indies. Now, he (Mr. Goulburn) must say there never was not one farthing of which came to England ; and a moment less fit for the discussion of such a question than yet it was proved that upwards of 140,0001. was that. There were subjects which excited very sensitive paid annually by this country to maintain those feelings in parties interested, and, considering the situation establishments. He advised his Hon.

In exact proportion should have thought it sound policy to avoid every thing to the relief of the trade of that immense continent from calculated to excite angry feelings, but we had taken the old monopoly, had the resources both of India and of a moment to legislate on our Colonial inter- our own country been developed. He well recollected the course when Canada had, in fact, no represen- shipowners attending the House for the purpose of opposing tative Assembly, and we had not the means of the measures brought forward by the late Mr. Huskisson, knowing their sentiments and feeling:, with respect to a which they did upon the ground that they were calculated measure in which they were so deeply interested.

It was said not undervalue the information and knowledge of the that the effect would be that the Americans would, in Noble Lord who presided over the colony, but he thought twenty years, destroy the whole of our trade.

They were cons ieeed that smuggling, af,er the alteration, would be carried on to a greater extent than at present, and he thought that their case ought to be considered, before the proposed measure was proceeded with. All they asked was for a delay until the Legislature of the United Provinces of Canada could take the subject into their consideration. Lord J. RUSSELL agreed in the general description given of tee policy of Mr. Huskisson, although he thought the description had scarcely gone far enouele—(Chcers.) He was rejoiced to bear that the Right Hon. Gentleman himse'f, Lord Liverpool, and the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tarnworth, had all agreed with Mr. Huskisson in opinion. The support given by Mr. Canning to those principles was well known. He was the last man who would think of arrogating to his own party, or his own Goveroweet, the merit of those princi ples ; on the contrary, he was glad to find such a general concurrence in them on the other side cf the House. and ho hoped they would be carried iato effect by the largest majority possible, and, provided these principles could be carried intcweffeet, he would willingly let former Govern ments have all the credit of them.—(Cheers.)

He thought the desire to have better and cheaper ar idles was so cateeing, that other branches of industry would be desirous of possessing the same advantaesee—( Loud cheers.) If he had mis interpreted the Right Hun. Gentleman's meaning then he would say that the granting of that which was advantageous could never form a precedent for granting that weieh was iejerious; and when that which was injuli ms should be proposed, no doubt the Right Hon. Gentleman would suc ceed in Meeting it. He ( Lord J. Russell) did not ap prove of that system which forced the colonesti to take British manufactures to chi, ir own great injury, and then, by way of compensation, fore d the farmers and labourers of the United Kingdom to take the produce; and, in reply to tee complaints of the farmers and the labourers, gave them in their turn advantages at the expense of tee manu facturers. That was a vicious system, which, seeking the advantage of a particular class, lost sight of the benefit of the whole community.—( Cheers.) He understood the policy of Mr. Huskisson to be to grant a certain protec tion, but not such a one as should enable the manufacturer to set competition at defiance. —k Cheers.) Such had been his policy with respect ti the silk manufacture; and such had been the policy of Mr. Pit: in 1786 with respect to cloth and earthenware ; the c neequence had been the improvement of the manufacture in every in stance. If the Right Hon. Gentleman adhered to his principle of granting only the lowest rate of protection re quired, he would not find any great difference of opinion between himself and her Majesty's Government on the subject in debate. In the present state of the country, protection woe, necessary; but it should not be so given as to give one class a superior advantage, when compared will others. The Right Hon. Geetieman wished for an. other Committee ; he left it to the members of the Com mittee of last year to vindicate their proceedings; but when the Right Hon. Gentleman expressed his r gret that persons of 4 reater experience had not been examiaed be fore that Committee, he owned that he knew not who could have afforded more information than one of the gentleman they had examined—he meant Mr. Hume.— ( Cheers.) He had been long engaged in public off ors— had been in the confirleisce of Mr. Huskisson_acrd with re gard to experience he knew not if they had gone further how they could have found better in that respect. Tine evi dence taken be fore that Committee contained a mass of valuable informadon, and great credit was due to those who merle that information available; but whatever mea. sures the Government brought forward would not be brought forward solely on the grounds of their accordance with the recommendations of that Committee ; they would be brought forward because the Cabinet considered they were based on proper and just principles. That Geo vernmeat would be acting in a mean and nnssoisfac tory manner which should merely say, here are mea sures brought forward solely because they are in ac cordance with the recommendation of the Import Com mittee. They were bound to consider these important subjects in every point of view, and then to propose that which they though most needful, and, be their opinions right or wrong, there was a general agreement on that point in the Cabinet; they were prepared to bring forward such measures as they might think useful for the country, and would not shrink from the responsibility of those mea sures on which Parliament and the ceuntre must decide. They were not insensible of the immense importance cf the subject. They brought forward these measures because it was granted that some such measures were necessary, and they endeavoured to adopt the line cf policy which was supproted by the greatest weight of argument and tsetse rience, and if they were not mistaken in their views they were carrying out the policy ealeuleted to confer on the conntry the greetest benefits, arid if they failed they would have this consolation, that their intention had been to pro mote the commerce, the industry, and the fortunes of this mighty empire.--( Loud cheers. ) Mr. HE RRIE S explained that when speaking of those who had given evidence before the Committee he had net intended to state that they were persons witheut knowledge or experience. From his knowledge of Mr. Hume he was the last man in the world to speak lightly of that gentle man, to whose character and attainments he willingly bore testimony. He regretted that the Committee had not ie veetigated the other side of the question, and that the opi nions of those supporting it had not been put upon record. Mr. LABOUCHE RE deprecated the hints that had been thrown out by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that a further Committee was necessary on the subject ; he never could agree to that, as it would only lead to delay. Mr. VILLIERS, after the able and satisfactory speeches that bad bean made that night, had some scruple in address ing the House. Nothing, he confessed, since he bad a seat in that House had been so satisfactory to him as the statements that had been made that tight by several of her Majesty's Ministers._( Hear, hear.) He critod as sure the House that he should watch most closely in eider to see how they carried out the principles they had that night professed. The speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite that night had not surprised him; he had attacked the Committee, because ho conceived there bad been etedenee received , more upon one side than the other. Now, he must say that such was not the case. The Committee did not call the witnesses for the purpose of hearing their opinions, but in order that they might state facts and ex plain official documents ; and the facts that had been sub stantiated alone gave the inquiry importance. What was inquired into by the Committee was what duties were imposed for revenue and wbat for protection. All the witnesses that weee examined before that Committee were persons of unblemished character, and one of them, a most honourable man, had stated that the taxes which pressed upon the people were for greater than those raised for the purposes of revenue. He attached great importance to these resolutions, because they recognised a most important principle; they recognised the principle w ith respect to the colonies, that I.berty in trade fflas et feudal to their prosperity.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Cambridge seemed to him to ad vocate the principle of monopoly when he objected to these resolutions. It seemed to him that the Preside. toftt e Board of Trade had proposed these resolutions under the conviction that the old policy, with respect to trade in the colonies, was totally Ineffectual for the purposes intended. Mr. Huskisson was of that opinion years ago, but he seemed afraid to adopt any measures on the subject. There seemed to him no ground for the opposition to this mea sure, save that which bad been hinted at by the Right Honourable Gentleman—that it recoguised a prie_ ciple that might be applied in other matters. Nothing in his opinion could be so injurious to the colonies as the present re.trictive duties. The system adopted with respect to trade in the colonies was rotten to the core, and must be remedied, and nothing was more likely to effect that ob ject than the preset - A resolutions. He was ready to take these resolutions, small as they were, as an instalment to wards a great principle; and he thought they were an earnest of good intentions on the part of the Government and the House, He lamented that so long a time bee elapsed before any Minister of the Crown had thought proper to bring forward a motion like the present, but be was at the same time rejoiced to find that a small progress had been at length made in the right direction, and it should have his best support. Mr. G. PALMER said that the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, and the Hon. Member who had just sat down, had clearly enough pointed out the injurious conse quences that would result from carrying out these resolutions on the principles proposed by the Right Honourable Gentleman the President of the Board of Trade ; and the Honourable Member far Wolverhampton had distinctly shown that so sure as one reduction of duty took place, another must follow.—e" No, ne.") The Irish provision merchants would assuredly put in their claim, and then there would be a cry to take the duty off Baltic timber, and, in fact, to remove all protectite duties,— ( Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that the subject required much further consideretion before they proceeded to legis late upon it. Mr. BINGHAM BARING, who was very indistinctly heard, was understood to complain of the constitution of savoured nhi h apdtve l eeour: C uebarwb o esnt m ehdldra n Ivottuahfi unprotected paoh e rdrna e co;s: euoe elbeen result net flippancy: wh i ch dseaasai di int b hdo a ewanl d ths. e xam ined ti.cmhhheegeymerehtn eaerdrhae for undefended. left ioiflyr witnesses ver y importantone i o r : a lh a v n y e t e i t respecth r h i a a s m t nd p t ht theet yno characterised 1 observations of that Hon.

Memb Mr. VILLIERS would er. repeat that the observa tions which had been made with reference to the constitution of the Committee were personal, offen sive, and unfounded.—( Loud cries of " 11ear, ,boa-. " ) The noble personage to whom they both referred had stated that the constitution of the Committee savoured of fraud, and trick, and contrivance. Now a Committee more fairly chosen, er more disposed to do justice to all parties interested, never was appointed by that House; and it was for the House to inquire whether a Committee formed according to the usage of that House, could be said to savour of fraud, trick, and contrivance. As to any observations made by the Hon. Member towards himself, he treated them with the most perfect contempt, and would not waste time by replying to anything the Hon. Member might chose to call him to order for._( Hear, and cries of " Chair.") Mr. H (iNIE cea3 proceeding to make some re'rarks upon the consthution of t:. Committee. ::ea, M. GC/ULM:TN 'LW:, to order. .-;c E a d hibited reference to st a tements made i n th e other House of Parliament. They had a few minute's ago icen the natural consequences of references of this nature,—a ref:- fence being misunderstood by one gentleman, which, if properly understood, would not have justified his observe. tioas, and calling forth from the other side of the House irritating expressions, from a gentleman who was conrected with the person in the first instance personally attacked. He was sure, therefore, the Hr'use would pardon Min for interposing ro prevent reference to the debates in the other Heim of Parliament, which were not necessary for the illustration of the subject. and which were only calculated to excite ill-feelings.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUM E said that he bad no wish to excite ill-feel. ings, but the truth should be told.—! Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said he bad seen that nearly the greater part of the discussion this etening had baeu irre levant. he was sorry to say that since he had first entered the House, attention to the old reds of not referring to what passed in the other House of Parliament had been gradually growing less and less. He had been unwilling to interfi re on the present occasion, because he had seen such references made without being checked on various occasions, but be was quite s ensible that it was clearly ar, irregularity of practice; and as ill feelings were excited by it, he trusted that the good sense of the Hon. Member would induce him to desist —( Hear, hear.) Mr. B. BARING said a few words, which were in audible Mr. HUME said that he had copied the words from the Morning Chronicle and sent them to the Noble Lora, and asked him whette r they were a correct report of what he had said, and he (Mr. Hume) had the Noble Lord's own admission that it was correct.—(Cecers.) He would not pursue the subject further than to say, that if the 'feelings of Hon. Gentlemen opposite were so sensi tive, they should not blame those who were first attacked fur defending their characters. Mr. B. BARING sa'd he could assure the House that it was not his wish to excite unpleasant feelings; but when it was stated that he had blamed the witnesses, he begged to say that he had never made use of any such expressions, but he consid ere d t h e proceedings of the Committee were irregular, and deseiviag of the designa tion he had given them. After a few words from Mr. WHITE, The CHAIRMAN said that bafare he left the Chair he thought it becoming to take notice of some exprmoiens that had been used in the course of the debater.—( Hear.) He was sure the words had fallan from gendemer, on each side from misconception end irritation, natural ht the moment. He therefore ho;.ei the Commtttee would confirm and second his efforts is calling upon each Hon. Member to consider the words that had fallen from him with a view to an explanation.—( Cheers, and erica of " Question," " Chsir," " Baring.") Mr. Villiers, who had left his seat, bating resumed it, the Chairman, repeated his observations, and called upon both Hon. Gentlemen to explain their words and retract. them. After some delay and confusion, Lord Al OR PE TH rose and expressed a here th-t the Hon. Gentleman would run a race with each other in reply to the very proper appeal that had been made to them in consequence of expressions which must ha , e arisen from the warmth of discussion, and the irregularity cf their proceedings. Perhaps, under the circumstances, it was rather natural for the feelings of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton to be somewhat hart at being referred to in a way which he did not think his conduct cut t'ed him ; and he was sure that his Hon. Friend (M'. B. Baring) must have thought that his relation had been im properly reflected upon. Under these circumstanaes, he hope.' that the ill feelings that had arisen from mistaken views, would subside upon tumuli explanation.—( lit as.) Mr. B. BARING said he was always ready to apologise to anybody w h om i t was consniered that he had insult d. On this occasion be had felt much hurt and irrit sted at the expressions of the Hon. Gentleman, and had there upon expressed his natural feelings. If he retracted any thing that he bad said the Hon. Member must also retract his offensive expressions.—( Hear, hear.) He had re) in tention of falling out with anybody.—( Haar, tear. ) Mr. VILLIERS said he was peifeetly willing to re tract anv express on he had used aa all offensive to the Hon. Member. lie believed what the Hon. Member con sidered offensive was the expression he ( Mr. Villiers) had used with reference to what bad fallen from a relative of the Hon. Gentleman. That relative had admitted that the expressions be complained of were u'ert, arid he thought the House would be satisfied that ho ( Mr. Villiers) was justiied in feeling offended at :hem, and he cerainly eas astonished at the words used by the Hon. Member towards eirnself personally.—( He as, hear.) Mr. BARING said that offensive expressions were totally abh irrent to his character and f, chugs. He would say no more after what be had already said, —( Hear. ) The subject then dropped, and the Committee resumed the business before it. In reply to some observations of Mr. GOULBURN that did not reach us, Mr. LABOUCHERE gild he had thought it to be lis duty to move for a Committee of the House of Commons, because such a Committee would give an intimation to the country that the Goternms nt thought inquiry should be made whether or not these duties should t e al tered. It was his intention to adhere entirely to the principles laid down by Mr. Huskisson, when that great statesman brought f,rwerd his come ercial resolutions is 1825. But though he thought those reso lutions were the best that could have be , n hen proposed, with any chance of carrying them into effect, be did not think they were in accordance with the principles he had himself laid down.—( Hear, heir.) Sir C. DOUGLAS said, that having been a Member of the Committee that had been alluded to, he could net allow the subject to pass without a few observations. He must say he did not think the Report of the Committee was calculated to give the public a fair impression of the state of the case. They hail not time for a full investiga tion, and or, this account, towards the close of the Com mittee, he had proposed that they should move for the reappointment of a Committee to continue the investi gation. He was the only Member oil his side of the House who attended it. He must say he thought the di gest that had appeared was not a fair digest. It gave a one-sided idea of a most one-s ided Report.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME said with regard to the Report being one sided, it should be remembered that it was only so as being the Report of the majority of the Committee. The Hon. Member was in the minority, and complained, as all minori ties din, of the unfairness of the tyrannical majority.— (H,am ) He would ask the Hon. Member to instance any act of unfairness in the Committee, or whether they refused to put any question or to hear any observation that was offered ? In that Committee the question of Corn-laws was found to be so connected with the subject that they could not put a question which did not in some way or other involve that question. He contended that their digest was a fair one. Mr. VILLIERS said one result of the Committee was that the Hon. Member for Whitey, had declared to him that if the Committee were to sit another week, be believed he would become as good a free trailer as himself. Lord SANDON said that all the evidence taken before that Committee was on one side. There was no' sufficient time allowed to go into the whole subject. His Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade must have seen the evils which had arisen from it. In many branches of trade great suspension of business had arisen from the excitement which had followed. It was a purely ex parte statement. He did nut impute blame to any one. hut be deprecated the system. Mr. WA RD said if the evidence were only ex parte it would have had eery little effect upon the country. Im putations had been made against the Committee on am. count of its Report. That R port would be received quantum vahat The real objection, to it was, that it had brought out most important tacts._(Hi ar, hear)—facts which bad been appreciated in the great manufacturing and mercantile community, and which had taken a firmer hold of the public mind than any evi dence which had ever beer, given in a Com mittee of that House, and such a strong feeling had been created that no evidence which could be brought for ward would be able to shake the public conviction as to what was the only safe basis of legislation.—(Hear.) Lord SANDON said that that was what he complained of.—( A laugh.) His °ejection was, that the evidence had been ail one side. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD said that the /Committee had had one good effect, namely, that of openl.ng the eyes of the people to the injustice of the Corn laws. Knowing, as he cis!, the distresses of the people he thought they should have been treated with more tenderness than they had been by the Right Hon, Gentleman the Member for Cambridge. Mr. GOULBURN explained. Mr. HUME was proceeding to address the House, when he was interrupted by cries of " Chair, chair." We understood the bon. Gentleman to defend the Cum mittee from the charge of entering into the question of the Corn-laws, on the ground that where the food of the people was concerned great allowance ought to be made, The second, teird, fourth, and fifth resolutions were then put and agreed to. In answer to a question from Mr. PALMER, Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that he intended to pro pose that the resolutions should come into operation on the Ist of January, 1842. CRIMINAL JUSTICE. _ _ On the OrderOfJiebity being 11 asi for the House going into Coinmitt-e on the Criminal Justice Bill, BOLLlNGohjected t> iti being then proceeded with, and moved that the House do now adjourn. Mr. F. MAULE said be hope the House would not adopt the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. The inhabitants of Birmingham, Manchester, and of ecery other large tt.wn, were most anxious that the Bill should be passed without delay. He trusted tee Hon. Gentleman would s,e the propriety of withdrawing his motion. After a few words from Sir C. DOUGLAS, against proceeding with the Bill. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said, that if he had reason to Ix lieve that Hon. Members were abient on the supposition that the Bill would not come before the House, he would most willingly consent to the adjournment; but as ho believed the contrary to be the fact, be must ask the House to proceed. The subject was of the last import.. ance. The administration of justice in towns would be paralysed by delay. Mr. AINSWORTH said be bel;eved the petition al. laded to by his Hon. Colleague had been got up under the idea that the Town Council were going to raise rates to build gaols; they el ere going to do no such thing, an d he hoped that the Attorney.Ger.eral would proceed with the Bill. Mr. L. BRUGES had understood that the Bill was to be brought on to. ni g ht, a nd had attended under that idea, It was of great i m p or tance to the town be repres ente d , and he hoped it would go into Committee to-night. Sir C. DOUGLAS explained. After a few words from Mr. BOLLING, Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House di. vided. For Mr. Bol!ing's motion of adjournment „, Jo Against it Majority against the amendment On our re-admission unfound Mr. BOLLING objecting to proceedirg w:th 13 Mr ABOUCHE'RE g,-r e,; inq of the l3cuse, that the ~,• iiLdt d f: K r j i,'„l, Bi:1 vocced• Mr. BOLLING only wished for delay until after Easter. Arrangements had been made with Manchester and Birmingham, and perhaps they might be made with Bolton if time were gri med. , The ATTORNE Y-GE NERAL said ample time would be allowed, es it would be impo,thle thy: i 3.11 couli b, read a third time before the holidays. Mr. B 0 L LIN G would nut persist pertinaciously in op position to the wishes of the House, but he thought the House was hardly now in sufficient numbers to discuss such a Bill as the present. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. On the reading of the first clause, Mr. LUDLOW BRUGES moved as amendment to insert after line 23 the following words :—" And also any sum of money not exceeding the amount of any ptincipal sum which previously to the passing of this Act shalt have been raised for any of the purposes aforesaid, and whicr shall be outstanding on security at the time of th. passing of this Act, and therewith to pay off and di charge the whole or any part of the money for which such security shall have been given : provided, that every sum of money to be raised fur the diseba ge of such outstano ing loans and securities, shall be raised and borrowed on such terms and conditions as shall in no reipect prevent or delay the re-payment thereof within the time prescribed by this Act, such time to he computed from the date of such outstanding securities respectively." The amendment was adopted, and the clause as amended agreed to. On the readirg of the second clause. Mr. L. BRUGES moved an amendment that 'Fft.l'r the word " rates" in tine 13, the following should he in serted:—" And every such securty shall be registered by the Clerk of the P ace, or some other officer of such bo rough, appointed fJr :Lich purpcse, in a book to l c kept by him fur registering such securities ; and it shall and may be lawful for et cry person who shall he entitled to the money so to be sr clred. and such person, his executors and administrators, is and are hcrehy empowered (by endorsing his, her, or their name or names on the beck of such security), to transfer the same, and his, her, or their right, to the pincip , il money and in te•est the, eby secured, unto any other pe son ; and every such assigne., may in like manner transfer the rams a:,cl so from time to time, as circumstances may requ'r,., and the person to whom such security or any assignment thereof shall be made, and his executors, administrators, and assigns, shall be creditors upon the said borough find or rate, or gaol rat s, in an equal degree one with another; and the said Mayor, Alckrrni r , and Burgesses, by their Council, shall direct in whit order such securities shall he di:- charged, by &arsine lots, or otherwise, as they shall see fit, subj..ct nevertheless to the discharge in the fint place of a.l such tecurities as shall bear the highest rate of in terest.'' After a short diicussim the chute, with this amend ment, was agreed to. Clauses 4 and 5 v, ere agreed to. Clause 6 was also agreed to, after a few observations from Mr. MONTZ and the ATTORNEY • GENERAL. Mr. W. PATTEN proposed to insert a clttu e, the ob ject of which was, f r the comp,msation of offic,rs, and the confirmation of the Charter of the town of Manchester. Mr. M PHILLIPS oppose] the clause. Mr. COURTENAY complained of the unfairness of diFeussing the clauses of so important a measure at so late a period of the nig'.t, and with so thin an attendance of Members. It would almost tempt one to off .r (very op positi'm to thr farther progress of the measure. Mr. MUNTZ moved thet the town of Birmingham be adeeft to the clau.e. The ATTORNEY GENERAL thought that the claut•e, ought to be printed, and taken i.to cor.isideratinn at a fu•ure sage of the Bill tr.ey were too important to discuss without previous; notice. Mr. WILSON PATTEN said if it were the wish of the House he would withdraw the clause for the present, but he suggested that the Chairman should report progress and ask leave to sit again. They could then discuss the clause in C.:mtnittee, Mich was a much mote convenient wav t f cloi,,g it than Lyon the bringit g up of the Report. Mr. AG LIONBY objected to the Chairman reporting progress. Mr. BROTHERTON thought it would be a very great hardship t f.,ree these clauses upon the Committee with out previous notic•'. After a few words from Lord SANDON, The House resumed, and the Chairman reported pro_ ;press, and obtained leave to sit again. The Royal Burghs ( Scotland) and the Parliamentary Birghs (Sc , tlalid) Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland brou.2.ht in a Bill to amend the laws for the relief of insolvent debtors in Ireland, which was read a first time. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'Clock. WEST LONDON RAILWAY CO vl. PANY. A Special General Meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company, was yesterday held at the Company's Offices, Abchurch lane, pursuant to adjournment from Monday la , t. The Chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by W. Morgan, Esq., the Deputy Chairman of the Company, The CHAIRMAN raid that at the last meeting, various plans had been proposed of which he thought it to ees,ary to say a few words. It bad been proposed to abaneoa the matter ah.ogeiher; now that plan could not be adopted without the consent of every individual Shareholder having beeu obtained. Another que,tion that had been asked was, would not any othi r Company take them up. Tee answer to that was, that none could, until they had ex erted themselves to put their liee into a proper state. For two years they l.td been deliberating, and now the time for action had artiv,d. Something must be done. Creditors were pressing th. - m, and the landowners along the line wouldeesume the land if they did not pro ceed. They had lost law suits merely because V:ee had not money, and their works Were going to ruin from the same cause. Af e.• their Act had been obtained, two ex tensions of the li. e to Knightsbridge and to the Thames bad been proposed ; that that plan would have been suc cessful he did rot doubt, but it did not meet with the ap probation of the Shareholders, and at the last meeting it had bean determined to abandon it. There was then what he would call the medium plan for carrying the line from one canal to the other; by that plan he proposed toabide. There were two other plans—one for carrying the line to the Hammersmith-read only, and another for stopping short at the Uxbridge-road, be cowidered both objectionable; the traffic on a fraction of a line was always small com pared to that on a continuous line. It would be like building ti bridge has =way over a river. The plan con tinuing the line from canal to canal, would save their powers under the Act. The Water Works Company and the Metropolitan Roads Company bad behaved exceed ingly liberally to them in granting all they asked, but those Companies took it for granted they would proceed at once with the work, and having obtained their Act, they were bound to the public to complete the line, and not to leave it a pool of stagnant water injurious to the health of the tit igbbourhood. If they carried the lines to the points proposed there were ctner Companies who would take it up and extend it to the Thames and to Knightsbridge, and when they considered how high up the Iron Steam-boats extended, if they had a pier cut at Bat tiles they might fairly calculate upon a great increase in passengers' traffic. The plan proposed for rrising the money had been stigrreeised swamping the 6hart-- holders ; he should be exceediegly sorry teat any should be injured, but now they were all swamped, and the only question was should they spend a little more.money to re. trieve what they had sunk. Something had been said of the Great Western Railway Company. He did not think the Chairman or Directors cf that Company would sanc tion anything improp r, and be bed been giten to under. stand that the alteration made by that Company in the rail would not be at all injurious. Tney had art ahle engineer, respectable centraetors sere willing to under take the work, and he hoped they might look ferward to the day when the re ilroad would t e a source of honour and ene.lument to the Shareholders._(Cheers.) Dr. CAME said the line was not in so deplorable a state as it had been represented to be. He bad gone over and with the exception of the wall, every part of it was in the highest order. The land in the neighbourhood of the line b •longiog to the Company was of the greatest valuer Mr. MOB (having first protested against being sup posed to r . orn . prorn ee. his claims on the Company by taking pert in the t 7roceeirgs of the day) said that at the last meeting he had moved the adjournment because the Directors were prepared to state what might be the results of their ,Plam .as to the working the line, and the real cause of all t;.7 11. fertunes had been that no definite scheme had ev, r bes:'n laid before the Proprietors. A certain gradient bad been adopted, and a stationary engine was to be employed to over come the declivity of the hill, and the locomotive treetion was to be employed to do the level work ; and if that scheme had been been cart std forward there would hate peen little to complain of, except so far as they had been interrupted by the Great Western line. Then again it had been proposed to adopt a gradient capable of being worked by horse power. They ought certainly to consider the mode of traction to be adopted, and if they could show that by any plan a fair ;lid reasonable profit would be ensured, no doubt their shares would rise in the market. It was i ecesswry that the teac ion to be acopted should be not only rapid but economical, and if they could show that their proposed scheme was eConothicAl arid profitable, no doubt they would soon be ab'e to raise the money. He believed that they might real to more profit by their land than they had lost by their blunders. Their great object in all they did ought to be to dhow the public that there was some reason able expectation of a profitable result. It had been said the other day the ecal traffic was of little consequence ; now, since that, he bad ascertained that one concern alone ' at Nottingham sent up by thri tenet 500 tons of r oal a week, and employed nine sets of i i ..!trues on the canal in that traffic. With regard to the value of the 111 bad positive information that one plot of less than threj quarters of an acre, bounding their own land, fetched 100/. per annum, and that a neighbouring pirce of less than ball an acre was let fur 80/. a year, and yet they had sold land for 150/. as acre, when 100/. a year had been ob tained fur three-quarte , s of acre in the immediate neigh. nourhood. The value of the land they had purchased of Scott was equal to at least 3,000/., and the acyclic, -five 'cr , a they possessed at that farm were worth from 300/, to 500/ an acre. Now, that would be more than sufficient to cover all their debt. He had no doubt of this, dnd he did not speak unadvisedly, because he had had great expo , rienco in the inciais. d value given to land by imi,rove mews. The Grand Junction Canal Company were now getting 2604 an acre for land which they had purchased et 201. an acre. He had been asked the other day by the worthy Knight what was hi; I eject. He had put on paper his ideas on the subject, which 1 - e would now submit to the meetirg. (The worthy Proprietor then laid on the table, first, a plan which be had submitted to the Company on the 24th o f S e pt em b er , 1839; secondly, a modifi ca ti on of that plan, by which it was propoFed to keep the canal constantly full of water, so as to secure the benefit o f wha, f are on its bankp; thir,llv, a or,ject euhmit• , ,ltotl e ; ,„ ,i„ „ _ I; , L•ilLull.l,l L:A, A fourth was a proposition submitted in June, 1840, for stop, ping at the TJabridge•road, and suggesting that a station should be erected there immediately. The line might be completed to that point fee. horse traction on a single line of rails for 10,0001. They had heard nothing from the en gineer of the mode of tr , ction which he propn'ed to em ploy, and until they knew that they could not say that they had the full and perfect scheme before them. No. 5 was a plan he bad drawn up in consequence of.what had passed the other day relative to continuing the iiiie to the north side of the Hammersmith road ; that would entail a large expenditnre—they would have one bridge to build, and including drainage he thought it could not be accom plished for less than 20.000/. Paper No. 6 was a plan fur raising 20 000/, by loan, to be secure d Oil all the available securities of the Company ; the money to be advanced for five years, at five per eerie interest, payable half-yearly, the persons advancing it to have the option of convening their advances into shares, or giving six month,' notice, and the Company to have the right of re paying the money, also giving notice; that would give them some hope of paying off the money, because, it they set about completing the railroad in earnest, he had no doubt but that their shares would soon be at per. This plan would swamp nobody. If they availed themselvei of their own resources, they would soon be independent of the Great Western Company, who had not behaved properly to them. The wore alluded to by the Chairman had been done by that Company without consulting them. He contended that Company ought to have given them notice of their ietentione. They ought to be independent of that Company. He should like to see the line carried to the London and thrill egharn line, for he was sure that, considering the two tunnels that Company's lire Passed through, two sets of rails would not be sufficient for the work, and they should get a sh:re of the traffic—more especi lily if they could carry their line to the T'nan.es. He considered the plan of the Directors as one calculated to sacrifice the poorer Se •reheleers to tie wealthier once A proposition had been made for pneumatic traction at the rate of rather more than or.e farthing per ton per mile. That was a proposition well worthy the attention of the Proprietors, for if anything like that could be accom plshed, it would be one of the most profitable concerns in the world. He had laid these propositions befi re them as having been one of the original projectors of the Com pany, to,whi h he had been urge i by Lord Kensington and tire worthy Keight neat him. The subject of bore trecion, and of pneumatic traction, was one well worthy f consideration. and he tensed that they would consider what was most for the general benefit of the Company. Slf JOHN SCOTT LILLIE hoped they would decide upon some feasible proposition on that day. lie did not approve Of stopping either at Uxbridge or Hammersmith, and he did not consider they were in a posi:ion to adopt any of the resolutions that Mr. White had proposed ; for the delay would be ruinous, and he knew of no better plan than the one proposed last week, He should, tre reform loose that the Ike be compheed with or.e line of rails from Kensington Canal-basin to the Grand Junction Canal, for which purpose 40,000/. should be raised in 20,000 shares of 21. each, such shares to be entitled to all the aflvairtiges ot 201. shares to be divided rateably among the Proprietors, and in the event of any Proprietor refusing his shares such shares to be offeted to the other Proprietors, and in the event of their refusing, to the public at large, such shares to he paid kr by four instalments of 6e. 10d. each, one at the time of allotment, another on the sth of August, 1841, another on the sth of November, 1841, and another on the 7th of February, 1842. A scrip to le issued on the payment of the first allotment, and on the non-payment of the instalment the scrip to be forfeited. Mr. LUARD seconded the motion, on the distinct under standing that the 31,000/. should be exclusively dented to the c ,niple , ion ot the one, and the 8,0001 to the pay. meat ( f deists for the laud for its completion, and 1,0001 fur the payment of small debts, as ereanged at the last meeting. Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE ;Treed that a protiso to that ef fect should he added to th • resolution. Mr. I'iIiErPARD, M. P., cis not approve of either propc sition. He thought they ought to go on to the Kensing ten-road, and stop there until they were either in hater feather, cr until some other Company would take them up. That might be done for 20 000/, which rniiht be raised if in eassar3, on the issue of shares at 51. ( Hear, bear)---and when the works I,veri begun, the shares, no doubt, would be in better condition than they are p eseht. He threw that plan out, and would be glad to hear any objection:: that could be urged against it. The Hon. Gentleman then moved to that eEet. Mr. WHITS recorded arnendrlnnt merely for the purpose of gr tting it discussed. Mr. GARDEN proposed a plan for raising 60,0004 by the issue of 3.750 new shares, at 151., so as to cony fete the line as originally proposed. Ti e proposition, however, fell to the ground. Mr. Duscome said the steund prlnAition before the meeting was the same in principle, being both fir the raising of a sum of money and the issuir g of shares at a re duced price. They had the guarantee of the engineer that 40 000/ would be sufficient to carry them from the Pad d:ngton Canal to the Kensington Canal, thus opening those two great sources of traffic, asalso the G: eat Western Railroad. The proposition of Mr. Sheppa - d could not be carried into effect for a much less sum than 40,0001., because they would Inve to purchase land to establish a station, so that , hey would accomplish less with the same money. With rega.d to the price of shares it was uselt ss to issue them, except they pot them so low that the Share kidders cook lel help taki•:g the in. It was a hard Situ& tion for the poorer Sham hoiters, but it could not be helped. With regard to Mr. White's proposi ion, they had trie4 bet. re to raise 20,0004 on nkertgege, ago could not get it; and their out. resource was to issue shares to theinkelves. They had eAeavoured to make tlas payments as easy as possible, and that was all they could ch, to ac comodate the pourer Shareholders. Mr. WHITE asked how the iine was to be worked. Mr. DUNCOMBE said they had not determined on the point, nor could they, until they had a finished line. When they should hve that, many of the suggestions made by Mr. White that day would be exceedingly va!uable, hut till then they were useless. They had endt•avoured to get the Great Western Company to work the line, but the Company would not speak to them until it was com pleted. They would be glad to see them extinguished, arid unless something was done to continue the hoe they would have their wish. In answer to a question from Mr. White, the engineer stated that the es , imate was only for finishing the line, aid not for working it, and thht could be worked ei..her by locomotive or horse power; that the guage vral to be that of the Great Wester►, but Unit it ruigot be made epplica ble to the Birmingham also when ext-nded. Mr. WHITE asked if the gnage of the Great Western Railway was not the more exper,sive of the two. The engineer said the cliff...! mice of cost was very insig nificant. Mr. Mactranuon consented to Vie proposition of the Directors, not because he liked it, but because he felt him self compelled to do so, and on the underst-rnding that the money should be devoted to no other purposes he sup portod rh.- motion. Mr. SHEPPAKO withdrew his amendment, but wished that some n earis could t e deviced to give the poorer Shareholders who might be unable to take the new shares some sort of advantage. A long discussion ensued on this point, but it wrs ulti mately tound ihat, by law the Cot - Ipso)? nas precluded from making any suet] arrangement. Mr. Vi HITE th-n put in the papers be had referred to, the S:cretary promising that he should have a copy of all of them. Mr. GUNTER, as a Director, Ras exceedingly desirous that the meeting should come to some stringent re3olutiou to tie up the hands of the Directors from appio i iiiating the money to any mint purpose• than the compt tiun ut the line. Ar the suggestion cf Mr. LUARD, it was arranged that fouutecn Gays should be suffered to elapse after the non. payment of au instalment before the shared should be fur d. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. MACFARLAND sald thy' highest offer they had gnt for the land hail beers 1601. an acr.. Now as so much had been said on the value of the land, he thought it ought to be set up by public auction. Mr WHITE thought money might easily be raised on it; 11 000/. was all they wanted, and its value would be mate rially enhanced by the Railway Mr DUNCOMBE sid they were forced to sell, as actions of ejectment were brought against them. The whole cost to tne Company of the land was about 17,0001, ii.e . udine interest, of which 6,0001. had ben obtained from 'he sale of a portion of it. It was ultimately arranged that the sale should take place by open tender or public auction. Thanks were then voted to thd chairman, and the !fleeting separated. AIR. VINCENT TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—Mr. Vincent, the Chart;.: l , who has been twenty months a prisoner in the gaol of Monn7outh, London, and Oakharn, is delivering L. ctur , s - on Clvi, tisin and Tee totalism in the Midland Coutnies. He deiti'ered four ctures in the New-hall, Leicester. last week, to a nu morons and respectable audietice. His defence of Chart:- ism was maete.ily and eloquent, while his eirriest appeals to the working classes on the subjects of sobriety, morally, and general gonce, created a very great impression on the minds of those hitherto opposed to the Chartist cause. At the close of the last Lecture Mr. Vincent ad ministered the Chartists'Teetotal pledge to 63 persona. This week Mr. Vincent has delivered three Lectures in our theatre to crowded audiences, espreialiy the last two nights. Having heard him in Leicester I attended these Lectures, and from what 1 hLve heard and seen of Mr. Vin cent, I must confess myself a convert to Chartism, and I find Mr. Vincent has been no less successful in many other ease,. Here, too, 55 persons received the " Chants! Teetotal pledge" at his hand. I think if the policy of "- Vincent was generally adopted by the Chartist Reny no eovv,r could long prevent the "People's Charter" be_ i„n t;,: Law Law of the Land."
