IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, ntroAt The LORD CMANCELLOR sat at a quarter to lire o'clock. Several private Bills were brought up from the Com mons. Several petitions against the TeA and Corponition Acts were presented. Among them was one b' Lord MEL viLLE, from the Lord Provost and Magis!rates of the city of Edinburgh. The Marquit of SALISBURY postponed the order for summoning the House on his motion to legalize the sale of .Gams from Thursday next, in consequence of the pres 3 Of business for that day, till Monday, March 31. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Eeil GREY rose and said—seeWthe Noble Earl opnotite (Dudley) in his place, with his leave, and the leave of the House, I will take the liberty of asking him a question on a subject of the greatest importance.— . My Lords, I have hitherto abstained from saying one word upon the situation of affairs in the East; not because I did not lock at the subject with great anxiety as regards the con duct of his Majesty's Ministers, and the possible results that may ensue, but because I have been fearful that by any thing I might say I might add to the difficultiee in which I am persuaded his Majesty's Ministers are placed—difficulties of such a nature, that a false step might risk our being in voPeed in a general war, while lam not now prepared to say that even by the most cautious proceedings and sound policy, 'le can be secure from that. It has been under the influence of this feeling that I have hitherto ab stained from saying Otte word, because I wished that his Ma jesty's Ministers should have full time carefully to examine the situation in which they are placed, and to consider that the decision they may come to may he such as will secure to this country, a continued peace. My Lords, the same feeling which has induced me to observe silence on the subject, would have induced me to continue that line of conduct, if there had not been circulated very recently, under the highest authority, a statement which, if it be correctly reportsd, cannot be too fully or speedily confirm.. cd, but which, if it be incorrect, in consequence of any misunderstanding, in order to ohviate false expectations or possible inconveniences that may follow from it, ought to be as speedily corrected. The statement I allude to is to this eflect,—that his Majesty's Ministers have received no information that any changes have taken place in the relations existing between Russia and the Ottoman Porte, or of any declaration of war between those Powers. My Lords, that there has been no actual declaration of war either communicated to his Majesty's Ministers or in fact issued, I certainly do believe. But your Lord ships will easily understand—and I am sure will go along with me in acknowledging—that short of a Declara tion of War there may be such a change in the relations which existed between two Powers, as can hardly be less material than if a war had taken place. If preparations for war have been made, if treaties have been broken, if troops have been assembled and concentrated in hostile positions, from which they must either speedily retire or advance, if declarations have been made to his Majesty's Ministers of a determination to enforce demands with which the Porte have not shown a disposition to comply, I think it will not be contended that a most serious change has not taken place with re spect to Russia and the Ottoman Porte, since the time at which the present Session commenced, and when his Majesty's speech was delivered from that throne. In that speech I find it mentioned, after speaking of the battle of Navarin, that notwithstanding that action, his Majesty still entertained a confident hope that this untoward act would not he followed by further hos tilities. Now, my Lords, that hope, I think, could not be eafely stated if a declaration had been formally and officially made to his Majesty's Ministers short of a declaration of war, but authentically and officially made, so as to oc casion an expectation of war at no very distant moment. It is, therefore, I wish, his Majesty's Ministers, es far ae they consistently can, although not one !step beyond what they consistently can, with a due discharge of their duty—it is therefore that I wish them to state, whether I am to nn derstand these words, as I have already stated them, to mean that no change has taken place to diminish that hope of the continuance of peace which was announced in his Majes ty's Speech : because, according to the plain acceptation of the words, I think it will be admitted that every person hearing that statement might believe that no accounts at the time of making it had been received, to diminish that hope of peace which was eeen alluded to by his Majesty. My Lords, I am anxious to have a confirmation of that state ment if it can be given, or if it be incorrect, to have it set right. Iu asking this, I confess I have done it with great reluctance and some hesitation, being most fearful of doing any thing by what I might say, to interrupt those endeavours on the part of his Majesty's Ministers which, I ant sure, have been exercised to preserve peace. I hope, however, I shall not be considered as having put an improper question. If the Noble Lord's duty imposes silence upon him, I shall be satisfied that the state ment is correct, and not urge my question further : if it is not correct, I hope the Noble Lord will favour the House with his contradiction of it. Earl DUDLEY—My Lords, I hope, in answer to the Noble Lin d's question, in the few IN ords I have to say I shall he considered to have given all the satisfaction on this most important subject that is consistent with my duty-. The Noble Lord must be satisfied that intentions have been manifested on the part of Russia, whica rery much diminish the chance of maintaining peace be.; tween Russia and the Ottoman Porte; but we have as yet received no account of those intentions haring been carried into effect. That our hope of maintaining ',Nice is much diminished since the time of his Majesty's communi cation on the first day of these Sessions to this House, there is no doubt, but nu official account has as yet reached us of any treaty of peace having been actually violated. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the British residents and other inhabitant, of Calcutta praying their Lordships to consider the impropriety of put ting the law relating to lands and premises on the same footing there as that on which it exists in England, and re questing that it might be put as it originally existed, under letters patent. This being a new subject, the Noble Marquis declined offering any opinion upon it : he added, that a Bill, prepared by a perso❑ well qualified to under take such a task, was in progress in another place, and that us it would probably reach their Lordships oa a future day, they would then certainly be more able to enter into a discussion upon it, when all possible information relating to it, would be brought before the House. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petitbn front the Growers of South Down Wool in different parishes in the count• of Su,sex, against the importation of Foreign WO9l. The Noble Duke stated that he agreed in the prayer of the petition. The House adjourned at a little before six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MARCH 23. Mr, W. DUNDAS presented a petition from the Cor poration of Bakers in Edinburgh, fur a repeal of the Test and Corporation Arts. The Han. Member presented a similar petition from the Corporation of Tailors in the same city. Lord W. PAULETT presented some petitions relative to the Tees Navigation Bill. Mr. BRIGHT moved the third reading of the Bristol Cattle Market Removal Bill, which was accordingly read a third time, and passed. Mr. J. GRATTAN moved for the returns of sums of money advanced by Government, for making and repairing roads in the county of Wicklow, and how much was now due to Government. Mr. PENDARVES presented a petition from the in habitants of Redruth, in the county of Cornwall, praying that the Bill relative to the Retail Beer Shops might not pass into a law. Mr.WILBRAHAM gave notice of a motion for the 22d of April, that an humble Address be presented to his Ma jesty praying that some regulation might take place in the Administration ofJustice in the county palatine of Chester. Mr. H. DRUMMOND presented a petition from the inhabitants of Glasgow, praying for a repeal of the Test and Corporation oaths. Mr. KENNEDY presented a petition from the borough of Ayr, in favour of the Test and Corporation Oaths. Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from Francis Bigg, against the Surrey Coal Meters Bill. . _ Alderman THOMPSON presented a petition from the Trustees of the Whitechapel Roads, against the Bill for making a Railway from Whitechapel to Lee-Bridge. Mr. N. CALVERT presented a petition from the inha bitants of Camherwell, against the Surrey Coal Meters' Bill. The LORD ADVOCATE presented a petition from Charles Robertson, of it oss-Alire, praying that the Scotch Entail Bill might not pass into a . Sir J. NEWPORT presented a petition from the Grand Jury of the county of Waterford, in favour of the Port cullis bridge, over the Blackwater. Sir J. NEWPORT postponed his motion. relative to the Courts of,Admiralty in Ireland, until the 22d of April. Sir M. W. RIDLEY postponed his motion relative to the expense of printing the returns to.the House, until the Ist of May. The LORD ADVOCATE moved the saond reading of the Scotch Justiciary Court Bill. The Bill was. accordingly read a second time and com mitted. The blank. were then filled up, alter which the House icsurned, the Report was brought up, and the Bill was ordered to be taken into further consideration on the Ith of April. EMIGRATION. Mr. W. HORTON rose to postpone his (notion, that the report from the Select Committee on Emigration be referred to the Finance Committee. He said, that if he had brought forward this important subject, he should have found it necessary to enter into the subject at great length. Seeing the disposition, however, which existed in the House, he felt it was hopeless to bripg forward the subject. Had he appealed to the feelings and passions of the people, instead of appealing to argument, he might have been more successful; but seeing that the Members of the Committee did 'not agree with him, and that the Househadan indisposition to discuss the subject, as he could judgefrom its thin appearance, he felt that no good could be done by btin;,7ing the subject before the House. He had a motion fixed for Thursday night, somewhat similar to that which was to have been brought before the House this evening, but if the same indisposition existed, he certainly would not press a discu.esiobi. Mr. MAURICE FITZGERALD hoped the Hon. Member would not give up his intention of bringing for ward this: subject. It was quite natural that he should feel disgusted with the apathy which prevailed at both sides of the House, an apathy founded on ignorance, and which he conceived would be extremely injurious iii its effects on the country. Mr. HUME said, that the Honourable Gentleruan% (Mr. Wilmot Horton) observations, conveyed something like a reproach on those who did not agree with him. He (Mr: Hume) was extremely anxious to promote emi gration, but he could not consent that a large sum should lie taken for that purpose out of the public purse. He did not wish, therefore, that the Hon. Gentlemen should con sider him as an opponent of his measure. He recom mended the Hon. Member to take an example tram him (Mr. Hume), and not to be dispirited because he could not succeed in getting the House of Commons with him. The Hon. INlmber ought to bring forward his measure from time to time, end call the attention of the House and the country to it. Mr. W. HORTON said his object was to prove that the plan of emigration he had proposed could be carried into execution without costing the country a sixpence. As it was the wish of part of the House be would certainly bring forward his motion on Thursday night. On the motion of Sir G. HILL, it was resolved that the House should go into a Committee upon the Irish Bills of Exchange Bill on Thursday. BENEFIT SOCIETIES. Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a petition front the Good Samaritan Friendly Society, against the Bill now before the House for the regulation of those Societies. The lion. Member thought great care should be taken not to injure those useful institutions by introducing any new law. Mr. LITTLETON said, the new law did not make any alteration in the laws at present affecting Benefit Societies, and its provisions were not at all compul►ory'. Mr. Alderman WAITILMAN presented a petition from the Delegates of Benefit Societies, praying to be allowed to examine witnesses at the bar against the Bill now before the House. The petitions were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the seven incor porated trades of Arbroath, for the repeal of the duty on Small Stamps. The prayer of the petition was, that the duty should be done away on all Bills under 3/. ELECTION BY BALLOT. Mr. HUME gave notice, that when the Bill for regu lating the Poll at Elections came before the House, he should move an instruction to the Committee that all votes at elections for Members to serve in Parliament, should he taken by ballot. On the motion of Mr. W. Smtm, the Thame• Tunnel Bill was read a second time. Mr. HUME moved that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that there be laid before the House a return of the number of persons arrested upon recog nizances entered into to give evidence upon trials, or for the appearance of parties to come up for judgment, in the county of Middlesex, for the last three years; and, also a return of the sums paid in consequence of such arrests, and the manner in which such sums were applied, distinguish ing those cases in which the bills were fuund.—Agreed to. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE presented a petition from the Trustees of Turnpike Roads near Frome, in Somersetshire, complaining of the fees of the House upon renewals of the Turnpike Acts. Mr. LITTLETON admitted that the payment of thee fees was a just cause of complaint by the petitioners ; and he should, after the recess, introduce a measure upon the subject. WILLIAM LEADBETTER. 41Ir. Alderman WAITHMAN moved, that the Order of the Day for calling to the Bar William Leadbetter, who had been committed to Netvgate by a Committee of this House, he now read, in order that he may be reprimanded and di,charged ; and he (Alderman W.) trusted, that as the prisoner was, as stated in his petition, a poor mak: with a wife and family, the House would, in the exercise of its usual humanity, nut call upon him to pay his fees. Mr. TENNYSON' seconded the motion. Upon his being placed at the bar, The SPEAKER addressed him to the following effect : —" William Leadbetter, you are now brought to the bar of this House for the purpose of being first reprimanded, and then discharged. The offence for which you were 'committed by this House to his Majesty's gaol of Newgate, was for an attempt, by gross falsehood, to obstruct, and if possible to defeat, an exatnina tion in which this House was engsgcd—on attempt as fu tile and as disgraceful in itself, as it was insulting to this House and subversive of its privileges. In your petition you express a hope that the time during which you have been imprisoned in Netvgate may be considered an expia tion of your offence. I know not upon what ground you can entertain such a In,;}e. This House can, and, in pity to your wife and children, will release you from imprisonment; but the expiation of your offence is to be found in your future conduct, and nothing but in dustry, honesty, and integrity can wipe from your character that stain, which you yourself have inflicted upon it, and make you the future support rather than the burden and disgrace of your family. I have now to acquaint you that you are discharged from further imprisonment. He was then discharged, and the Speaker's reprimand ordered to be inserted on the Journals. INSURANCE OFFICES. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON presented a peti tion from the Insurance Offices of London and Westminster, praying for an alteration in the rates of duty upon policies of insurance. He thought the subject one well worthy the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he should therefore beg leave to direct his attention to the statements of the petitioners. The petitioners stated, that upon every twenty shillings paid to the insurers, the Government re ceived forty shillings. To this large duty was to be attri buted the decrease in that branch of the revenue. He beg ged the attention of the House to the history of this duty : It was first laid on in the year 1782, at ls. 6d. per cent. In 1798, this duty was increased to 2s.—in 1804 to 2s. 6d., and in 1816 to 3s. per cent. Since that latter duty was laid on, lie must admit that there was a great increase of Fire Insurances, but he must at the same time say that those insurances were not in proportion to buildings erected since that time. From a return which he had in his hand, it appeared that the number of inhabited houses in England, Scotland, and Wales, in 1821, was 1,575,973, and in 1822, 2,429,631. I he duty on fire insurances inlB2l was 517,8451. being insurances upon four hundred millions of property. Great as the amount of property insured was, it must be evident that it was but a small proportion of the capital employed in manufactories, stock, and buildings in this country, and he felt satis fied that not more than one-third or one-fourth of the property so employed was insured. He therefore thought the petitioners were right in saying that a reduction of one-third or one-fourth of the duty would not decrease the revenue, but would, on the contrary, have the same effect as the repeal of the duty on wine, coffee, and other articles had in increasing the revenue. With respect to the Marine Insurance, that branch of the Revenue had very much decreased. In 1814 the Revenue derived from that branch was 485,0661. and in 1826, it hid diminished to 219,6291. The reason of this diminution was to be found in the fact of the increased number of marine insu rance offices on the Continent and in the United States, and be thought it the duty of Government, by a reduction of duties, to make it desirable for parties to effect those in surances. The Hon. Member went into a statement, show ing the advantages derived from effecting those insur ances on the Continent and in the United States, i❑ preference to England, and concluded by expressing a troy?, that as the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was directed to the Stamp Duties, upon which a measure he understood was to be introduced, that opportunity would not be passed over without doing something to remedy the evil pointed out by the petitioners. Sir C. SMITH supported the prayer of the petition. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa►d, as his Honourable Friend had confined his request to a full consideration of this subject upon the part of the Government, be could assure his Hon. Friend not only that be would take the matter into his consideration, but that he had already done so with a view of seeing if possible what relief could be afforded without diminishing the revenue. When Honourable Members presented petitions from any body of persons praying for relief from taxation, no thing could be more painful to a person in his (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) situation, than to he obliged to refuse acquiescence to the prayer of the petitioners, but that be felt it be part of the duty of a person in his situation to oppose rather than to encourage applications which might have the effect of endangering a large portion of the revenue._ That branch of the Uevenue to which the petition related, produced more than a million annually, and it would he the height of imprudence, and the greatest folly possible, for him to excite any hope that such a❑ arrangement would lie made as would endanger so large a portion of the re venue. With respect to the Hon. Member's statements as to the fire insurance, he must say, he did not think them warranted by the data before the House, and if the House would look to the returns it would be found that there was no ground for saying that the amount of duty operated as a prohibition to persons not to ensure their property. Taking seven years, it would be found that the revenue derived from Fire Insurances were as follows :-600,0001. ; 620,0001., 621,0001., 627,0001., 639,000/., 692,000/., 727,0001. ; so that it was apparent that there was a con tinued annual increase of the Revenue in that Branch ; and that, when his Honourable Friend said that the increase did nut bear any proportion to the increase of ca pital he begged to remind the House that within the last three years the increaso was 100,0001, which was derived from insurances upon increase of capital, amounting to from 60 to 70 millions. The Right Hon. Gent. admitted that there was a decrease in the Revenue from Marine In surances, but contended that when it was considered that the amount of property insured in the Marine In surance Offices, during the last year, was ninety-two millions, it could not be fairly said that the amount of duty upon those policies operated as a prohibition against insur anees upon property embarked in mercantile speculations. Mr. WARBURTON said, that with respect to houses the duty operated still more prejudicially. In some places the owners of large estates, in letting their lands, did not insert in their leases the usual clause compelling their tenants to insure, but incurred the risk themselves, and thus put into their pockets three times the value of the usual insurance. This was an obvious reason why the duty should he diminished, and he thought it made the impolicy of the duty more apparent than any other argument that could be used. He looked upon the Bill before the House to be a juggle between the GovernMent and the Insurance Offices, for the present Bill compelled the in,ertion of a clause which no tenant would agree to if the Government did not force him to it. The Bill was, upon the whole, a most excellent example of the impolicy of high duties. Mr. SYKES seriously called the attention of the Go vernment to the Marine Insurances, from their manifest operation upon the shipping interest, which was already so seriously, and he feared dangerously, restricted. On the motion that it be read, Mr. BARING said that he strongly objected to the duty upon insurances, as being a tax on the providence of the country, although if he were asked to provide a substitute, he might find it very difficult to point out a proper one by which to lealize the same amount. The Hon. Member was of opinion that if this tax were to be continued during the peace, it would have the effect, as he conceived, of giving rise to establish ments at fttend, and other ports on the opposite coast, where the subjects of this country would insure their pro perty free from any tax. By these means Government would altogether be defrauded of the tax. The subject was well worthy the attention of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, and he recommended him most earnestly to con sider it with the view of effecting a reduction of the duty. Mr. C. SMITH said a few words which were wholly inaudible in the Gallery. The petition was then ordered to be printed. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A Message was brought from the Lords, announcing that they had agreed to the Annual Indemnity Bill, and several other Bills sent up from the Commons without any amendment. An Hon. AIEMBEII presented a petition from Mr. Lau rence Jobson Marshall, underc•riter at Lloyds, on the sub ject of Marine Insurances. Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented s petition from the resident burgesses of Colchester fior the repeal of the Cor poration and Test Acts. On the motion of the same Hon. Uza{exit, a return was ordered of all the informations and convictions in the Court of Exchequer under the Excise Laws respecting malt, with the names and residences of the parties against whom proceedings had been instituted, &c., from the Ist August, 1826, to the let August, 1827. Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice of a motion respecting the commission of inquiry in Ireland into wills and devises, for Thursday, the 15th April. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER presented an estitnate . of the civil" contingencies.—Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. SPIRITS. O❑ the motion of Mr. G. W. DAWSON, leave was given to withdraw an account which had been printed, of the quantity of spirits distilled in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in order that a more perfect account may he pre eented in lieu thereof LAW OF REAL PROPERTY IN INDIA. Mr. FERGUSSON rose to present a petition from the British native and other inhabitants of Calcutta, respect ing the law of real property within that settlement, and particularly respecting the liability of such property as assets (in the hands of executors and administrators), to the payment of the debts of the deceased. The settlers and the free residents in that part of India were all vitally in terested in the state of the law respecting real property in that country. The question involved matters of the great est importance to the inhabitants of Calcutta; and there was nut an individual of opulence, possessed of lands and houses there, who was not interested in it. In the !ape of 20 years, Calcutta had risen rapidly in opulence and wealth ; and property to the amount of many millions sterling was now affected by the laws relating to real pro perty there. It would be as well at the outset to mention what was the state of the law of real property in Calcutta. As the law there stood, a freehold might not only descend to an heir, as in this country, but as was the case, he believed, in the colonies, it was subject to the pay ment of simple contract debts, and to the same liabilities as chattel property in this country. Previous to the grant ing of the charter under the King's letters patent in 1774, such was the received law. According to that law, the property of the deceased was vested in the hands of the executors as trustees for the payment in the first instance of the debts upon the estate, and if it were necessary to sell it, they were empowered to do so, and after satisfying the demands, to hand over the residue to the heirs of the deceased. The petitioners stated, however, that in a late cause before three of the Judges in Calcutta, the question was raised upon this subject. It was decided by the Court, that the real property of the deceased was not there, as as sets in the hands of the executors, subject to the payment of simple contract debt., hut that it descended, as in this coun try, to the heirs, subject only to debts of specialty. In a se cond case which involved the same question, the Chief Jut-- tice decided that real property might be subject to the pay ment of simple contract debts, but that it was also subject to dower. This decision excited great alarm in Calcutta. He (Mr. Fergusson) believed that there was scarcely a single instance of titles to landed property there, which did not contain one or more clauses of conveyance from executors to heirs. If uncertainty on this point continued, or if the last decision of the Chief Justice were upheld, the interests of the Company would be materially affected. All the Bills regarding property which had been drawn up by every Advocate-General, and which were passed from this country, were founded upon the law that the land could be sold by executors for the payment of simple con tract debt& But now it was decided in the Court in Calcutta, that though real property might be subject to the Payment of such debts—it was also subject to dower of the widow. The bankrupt laws, however, of this coun try, might be brought to affect the property of British subjects resident in Calcutta, while the Mohammedans and Iliudoos held under their own peculiar laws. In this manner dower might be barred, by coming to England, and making the possessor of real property a bankrupt. The charter of 1774 expressly recognised the right of British subjects to hold real property in India; fur it empowere d t h e courts i n C a l cu tt a to try all rights or t i t l ee , rea l or persona l, belonging to his ad Majesty' s su bj ects t h ere, an d to d e t erm ine all pleas, real, personal, or mixed. The charter expressly declared that ac ti ons • upon rights might be maintained against executors. But the Chief Justice in Calcutta doubted that they could appropriate real property to the payment of sim ple contract debts, because it was not mentoned that exe cutors might sell. But if they could not, how could ac tions upon such debts be maintained against them, unless the property was held by them in the capacity of trustees, as assets for the payment of these debts? He (Mr. Fer gusson) had had the long experience of 17 years' practice at the bar in India, and he bad never heard the law de clared otherwise than as be had gated it, until the late deci sion of the Chief Justice in Calcutta, determining that real property was subject to dower. It was highly necessary that it should be freed from that bar, and he believed that at present there was 'a Bill before the Board of Control for declaring and firing the law upon that subject.--( Hear. ) it would be extremely desirable likewise to extend some of the provisions of the insolvent debtor s' laws to India. Some measure, too, founded in principle upon the bankrupt laws, he was of opinion would work advantageously in India.— The Hon. Member'concluded by moving that the petition be brought up. On the question, that it be printed, Mr. HUME expressed his satisfaction at seeing the subject taken up by the Learned Gentleman, and proceed ed to comment upon the neglect displayed towards the affairs of India in general. They had a Board of Control ; but he was at a loss to discover in what respect they de voted their attention to India. The members of that Board were often turned out in the course of a year, not because they were unlit for the office, but because they belonged to one or other political party. The Hon. Member con demned the restrictions which existed upon the commerce and intercourse between this country and our Indian pos sessions. India was full of wealth, and abounded in large tracts of rich and unoccupied land. Why not remove these absurd restrictions, encourage emigration thither, and, instead of sending English capital to the various countries of South America, why not : allow it to be em ployed freely and advantageously in India? He trusted that the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Fergussen) would go on with the subject which he had taken up. Mr. FERGUSSON agreed with most of what had fallen from the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, but he dissented from his observations respecting the Board of Control. So far as he (Mr. F.) bad communicated with the Board, he found on the part of its members, and particularly on the part of the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wynn), its late President, the greatest facility and attention afforded to him. Mr. TKANT enforced upon the House the necessity of paying close attention to Indian affairs. Mr. T. P. COURTENAY defended the Board of Control from the attack of the Hon. Member for Aberdeen. The subject of the introduction of the Insolvent Debtors' Laws into India had been for many years under the consi deration of the Board. The Hun. Member for Aberdeen had spoken of the restrictions imposed upon the intercourse with India. Whenever the Charter came before the Board, i: he (Mr. Courtenay) should then be a member of it, the advice he should offer should be of the most liberal spirit. _(Hear.) —With regard to the Bill which the Learned Gentleman (Mr. Fergusson) proposed to bring in, he (Mr. Courtenay) had no objection to its introduction, without pledging himself to any of its principles or details. Mr. C. W. WYNN wished naturally to say a few words on the subject. During the time that he had been con nected with the Board of Control, he had commissioned a Chief Justice who was sent out from this country to collect information respecting the propriety of introducing the Insolvent Debtors' Laws there. That Learned Judge, however, fell a victim to disease in about six months after his arrival in India, and consequently the desired informa tion was not collected. Great difference of opinion existed on the subject in India. If it could be done, he (Mr. Wynn) was of opinion that it would he better effected by some species of regulations respecting debtors there, than by any legislative enactment here. The draught of a Bill upon the subject had arrived in this country a few days pre vious to his (Mr. Wynn's) leaving office, and he recom mended to the Noble Lord (Melville) now at the head of the Board of Control, to have the matter laid before the Law Officers of the Crown. Perhaps it might be sup posed that be (Mr. Wynn) would be moat competent to introduce the subject to the consideration of the House, and if that were the case, he should be very happy to de so. —(Hear.)—He had, however, recommended it to the attention of the Noble Lord, and he was confident that every attention would be paid to the subject.—(Hear.) After a few words from Lord A LTIIORP, the petition was ordered to be printed. FERGUSSON then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to explain and amend the law respecting real property belonging to British subjects and others, within the juris diction of his Majesty's Courts in India, and the liability of such property as assets in the hands of executor, and administrators, to pay the debts of deceased persons.— Leave given. 'tr. W. LAMB moved fin• leave to bring in a Bill for consolidating and atneoding the laws in Ireland, relative to larceny, and other offences connected therewith.— Leave given. Mr. W. LAMB moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the regulation of the linen and hempen manuEctories of Ireland.—Leave given. Mr. W. LAMB moved for leave to bring in a Bill to make provision for the lighting, cleansing, and watching, of cities, towns corporate, and market-towns, in Ireland, in certain ca-see. After a few words from Sir J. NEWPORT, Mr. S. RICE, and Mr. LAMB, leave was given. Ou the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, the report'of the Committee of Ways an Means, for appropriating to the public service the sum of 2,164,0001., was brought up. Report agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in, pursuant to the resolution. LIFE ANNU'ITIES' REPEAL BILL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the third reading of the above Bill. Lerd ALTHORP wished to say a few words on this occasion. When he (Lord Althorp) represented to the House that the system of Life Annuities which had been for some time acted on had cost the country about 8,000/. a week, he was told that this statement was certainly ex aggerated, and he now wished to explain the principle on which Mr. Finlayson founded that assertion. Mr. Finlay son, taking the year ending the sth of January, 1827, in comparison with that ending the sth of January, 1822, found, by calculation, that there was a loss of 8,0001, a week. He assumed that the contract might exist for 60 years—that was to say, that the last life, in all probability, would exist for 6Q years, and consequently that this finan cial operation would be in being 60 years hence. He then assumed the mean averages of lives to be seven years, and calculated the interest at four per cent., and taking these' data, he arrived at the conclusion, that a sum of 32,000,000!. less would lie redeemed from the national debt, by adopting the plan of life annuities, than if the stock given for them had been allowed to accumulate during that time. An Hon. Friend of his (Mr. Baring) had stated, that Mr. Finlayson, in showing this lose, had omitted to charge the interest which would accrue on the consideration paid for these annuities. This, however, was a mistake, for Mr. Finlayson certainly did take into his calculation the whole of the accumulation of interest on the consideration so paid. Mr. H. GURNEY observed, that the system was a fal lacious one, and gave to young purchasers, who were not likely to die, a great advantage. Mr. HUSKISSON said, if lie mistook not, no person could become a purchaser of a life annuity under 35 years of age. Lord ALTHORP found in the list of names of annui tants who were not dead now, and who purchased in 1809, some persons who were 54 years of age.—(Hear.) Mr. HERRIES said, no person could purchase an an nuity who was under 35 years of age. It had been insi nuated that he (Mr. Berries) had said something against the professional character of Mr. Finlayson ; but he had done no such thing. The observation alluded to fell from the Hon. Member for Montrose. He, on the contrary, bore his humble testimony to the merits of Mr. Finlayson. There was one important point connected with this sub ject, well worthy the attention of the House and the coun try. lie alluded to the fact, that a very material and most gratifying change had taken place in this country with re spect to the average duration of life. The tables published by order of the House exhibited this fact in a mo s t re markable degree. These tables p r oved the extraordi nary fact, that, in the course of the last forty years, such a change had taken place in the condition of the people, that the decrease of mortality in Great Britain was from one in forty to one in fifty-six. This was one of the strongest proofs 'that could be adduced to show the improvement in the state of the country. might in som e d egree i nter f ere w i th t h e pu bli c s p o e t o i it T ni c h tes e rwe i s n etn c , r t e h, a s u t e d still n i g t a rri v i u t y s t of b e t h a e of fo gratificationfa r a s these a t i o i n a u l - 1 rce who took a correct view of the subject. It might also he proper for bin, to observe, that from all the data which they had examined for the purpose of ascertaining the dif ference between the value of male and female life, it was found to_be_l-10th in favour of female life. Mr. HUME observed, that lestafalsei;prmsion should go abroad, in consequence of what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman who had dwelt on the alteration which had taken place in the last 40 years, it was right to state that much of it was attributable to the introduction of vaccination, and different modern improvements is me dicine. lie otaglit also to recollect, that eighty or nin o e „ tr e years ago, scarcely five or six years passed witliouotois, ry. epidemic or other raging in different parts of the Lv e , _v p` rt In 1782, a remarkable disease was prevalent in e ver y • r tlwrelbre of Europe, and carried off great numbers. because the ing thirty years, it might turn out presenterroneous, situation feared, that if any calculation were founded o s i l a the cause the might not continue in its ight Honourable for the ensuing thirty years.. The urne j had thrown Gentleman spoke as if he (Mr. had il not, however, done a reflection on Mr. Finlayson• He i yso n's work, and that so. He had attended to Mr• Fir' th a eorist, since he gave the gentleman showed that he no founded. He hoped that his Majesty's Ministers 'cl'an c s,s ould not allow much time to intervene before they reconsidered ‘' these tables, because an data on which his deductions Committee tool: on the subject, Tip? which the Finance Com impression had unfairly gone out with .. respect to the view Finance Cenimittee'did not disappro‘ eof granting pui ties, but they objected to,the terms on which they:were granted, and wished the system to cease until the table were revised. He lisped Ministers would soon lay proper tables before the House, because the best mode of redeeming the national debt, to whatever extent the reduction migh t go, was by granting annuities founded on correctly-cal culated table=. Sir J. NEWPORT, to show how guarded Government ought to be in granting annuities, instanced the Irish Ton tine of 1773, 1775, and 1777,; of the three classes which had benefit of survivorship, not one was yet extinct. Mr. MONCK perfectly agreed with his Hon. Friend, the member for Montrose, that though it was highly proper that other tables should be framed, yet they ought never t• abandon the mode of redeeming the national dcibt by grant ing annuities. After a few observations from Mr. V. FITZGERALD . , the Bill was read the third time and passed. PASSENGERS' REGULATION BILL. Mr. HUSKISSON moved the Order of the Day for bring up the report on the above Bill. After a few words from Mr. IlumE, Mr. HusmssoN. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Sir J. NEwrowr, and Mr. WAR BURTON, the Bill was ordered to he engrossed, and ma third time to-morrow. FREEHOLDERS' REGISTRATION BILL. Lord ALTHORP moved the Order of the Day for the; second reading of this Bill. On the Order of the Day being read, An Hon. MEmnEs., whose name we could not learn, said the Bill was of a very complicated nature; and, as there were so few Members in the House, he hoped the Nebie Lord would defer the second reading of so important a , Bill. Colonel WOOD hoped that the Noble Lord would pot oft the second reading until after Easter. Lord ALT HORP had had too much experience to hope to carry a Bill through Parliament after the Easter holi days. He wished the measure to be debated before they went into a Committer. Mr. HUSKISSO.N could wish, in the present state of the Mouse, and when the few Members present were not prepared, as he owned he was not, that the merits of the Bill should not be brought under discussion. Lord LOWTIIER expressed his determination of oppos ing the Bill whenever it should he brought forward, be cause it was a most a meet impolitic measure, and would make the law at once more complicated and expensive than it now was. He was also greatly afraid of the Noble Lord's Committee, when he saw the Hon. Baronet (Sir 1• Graham) near him,--the great reprehender of committee, _upon it. The Noble Lord then argued, from different clauses of the Bill, that, fir from saving expense, it would increase it, and that the effect of it would be to exclude totally the 40s. freeholders. He should move, /oy way of amendment to the motion for the second reading of the Bill, that the words " this (lay six months" be inserted instead of the word " now," Sir J. GRAHAM denied that he had ever treated com mittees with contempt. He thought no measure could be rendered full and perfect without the labours of a com mittee. As to the effect which the Noble Lord contended the Bill would have, of throwing the influence into the hands of powerful families, and excluding 40s. voters, in , was quite sure that no such principle would be listened to by that House. Bat let the Noble Lord be comforted ' the effect of the Bill would be directly the contrary, and give extension to the Elective Franchise. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL intimated his intention of opposing the Bill. Lord ALTHORP maintained that his Bill, if it were merely by lessening, the duration of the poll at county elections, would materially lessen their expense. Colonel WOOD was of opinion that the machinery Of the Bill would produce a great deal more of expence than it would save. After a few words from Mr. DICKINSON, Mr. MA SHALL, and Mr. Hoimonse, the House divided__ For the second reading ... ... 32 Against it Majority . —l5 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday, April 25. PAUPER LUNATICS BILL. On the motion of Mr. GORDON, the House went into Committee on this Bill. Several amendments were agree , to without discussion. The Houge then resumed, the report was brought op read, and ordered to be taken into ecnvideration on Tbure day nest. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. Mr. T. P. COURTENAY moved the second reading of the Friendly Societies Bill. ee Mr. HOBHOUSE h a d some reason t o appre h en d t h a t the present Bill mi g ht h ave th e e ffect of re p ea li ng t h e ar bitrationclausei t,o muchnthela t e litigation.natm nt, which had hi t h er t o prevented happily Mr. COURTENAY did not himself consider the arbi tration clause of so much import-ince; but that, as well 113 other subjects embraced within the Bill, would be a matter of subsequent and deliberate consideration for the Commit tee, in the next stage of the proceeding. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to b t y cominitled. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the Houle adjourned at nearly a quarter past Eleven o'clock.
