HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 17. Lord GWYDYR presented a petition from Cargyll, Perthshire, against the propelled scale of Corn Duties, and also praying that the ports of Scotland may be included in the list of places at which the corn averages may be taken. The Noble Lord also presented petitions against the pro posed scale of duties from Oxhall, North and South Wycombe, Ingli•sby, Waintleet, and several places in Lin colnshire. Lord GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Silk throwsters of Manchester, against any alteration of the duty on the importation of foreign silk. The petitions were laid on the table. • Sir A. Guam , and others, from the Commons, brought up the Malicious Destruction of Property (in Ireland) Bill. The Aire and Calder Navigation Bill, with the amend. !units,. was agreed to. Mr. MANNING brought up the London Docks Bill. Lord GROSVENOR said that he had intended to ask certain questions Tespectin g the abolition of slavery, on Thursday next, but as the Noble Duke opposite had in formed him that Monday next was the most convenient day, he postponed the questions until that.day. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that Monday next would be the more convenient. day. ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S REGISTRAR BILL. Lord GROSVENOR said, that as the Archbishop of Canterbury's Registrar Bill had been agreed to with out any amendments by the Commons, h e " u m now have no opportunity of discussing its merits; he regretted that it had been introduced here as a private Bill, and not as a public one. He however gave notice that, whenever the subject again came under the consideration of their Lordships, he should propo , ‘ that they would treat it as if the present Bill }id never passed, and that no claim to vested rights should he found e d upon the provisions of the present Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that as Le under stood the Bill, it really was a private one ; the parties who were interested in it were desirous of making the arrange ment among themselves, but found that it would be inure convenient to apply to Parliament fora Bill to carry into effect their wishes. Lord ELDON explained the nature of the Bill, which was meant to convey a reversionary interest. Lord GROSVENOR observed, that the Archbishop not having been able to carry his purpose itit9 ; effect otherwise, • he brought forward this Bill; to him it appeared to partake of the nature of a public Bill. This was a sinecure office ; which had increased and was increa s ing very consider ably. The income last year was 6;700/., and this year it was 8,2001., and to what extent it might increase no man under the atm knesV. The office, Which in 1810 was so inconsiderable, now amounted to a large sum. In con clusion, the Noble Esti, as we understood, set the Duke of Wellington right as to his not having wished the House to pledge itself to consider the office on any future occasion, if the Bill had s not passed, but only that he himself should so consider it. Lord CAIINARVON then proceeded to bring forward his motion to consider the propriety of suspending the standing Orders of the House, with respeet to Lord Shrewsbury's Estate JIM. After a short discussion on the subject, The LORD CHANCELLOR put the question, and the flou.e divided, when there appeared— Contents Nou Contents Alajority against the ►notion SCOTCH PEERAGE BILL. 2,~ 27 Lord BF-LII AVEN, in moving the Second Reading of this Bill, said, that its first object was to place the Repre sentative Peers of Scotland on the same footing with all other Peers who sat in that House. lie thought such an object was strictly consistent with the character of that as sembly. The next object was to place such of the Peers of Scotland as were not Representative Peers, on the same footing With the Peers of Ireland, who were not elected to represent their own body in Parliament. In this respect, it seemed to bins that the Treaty of Union with Ireland was an improvement of the Treaty of Union with Scotland. Not only were Scotch Peers who were not representa tives excluded from sitting in the other 'louse of Par liament, but their eldest sons were also unable to he Mein bers of that Assembly. Now he thought that last exclusion depended solely on a Resolution of the Peers, and not on the law; and that it vught not to continue any longer. Under these circumstances, he should move that the Bill be read a second time. The Earl of MANSFIELD opposed the motion, al though he Mt as anxious a desire as the Noble Lord oppo site to 'confer a benefit upon the Peers of Scotland ; hut his objection was that the Bill was in contradiction to the Act of Union itself. ." The Earl of ROSEBERRY had Leen formerly opposed to this measure, but now warmly approved of it. But while he advoCated this motion, he thought their Lordships were bound to allow the eldest sons of Peers to represent Scotch Counties, and also to allow the other Scottish Peers to sit in the House of Parliament as Representa tives, either for English'or Scottish shires or boroughs. The Earl of HADDINGTON concurred in what had fallen from the Noble .Earl as to allowing , the eldest sons of Peers to sit for ,Scottish counties, hut objected to . the other branches of the motion. He looked upon the mak ing the eleetion - of the sixteen Scotch Representative Peers for life to he clearly an infraction of the Treaty of Union. Ile thought, under all the circumstances of the case, it would be better not to proceed any further with the Bill during the present Session. Lord MELVILLE did not feel any embarrassment as to the course he should pursue with respect to this Bill ; for he was determined to oppose it in all its parts, as a direct • violation both of the letter and spirit . of the Treaty of Union. No precedent or case analogous to the present had necurred since the Union. Nothing short of absolute ne cessity could justify- their Lordships , in departing from the Treaty of Union ; and, in his opinion, no such necessity existed. A majority of the Scotch Peers being favourable to the measure was nut a sufficient ground for passing such a resolution ; if a single Peer were against it, he had a right to demand that the Treaty of Union ought to be ad hered to. 'the measure was against the interest of the Peers of Scotland. He thought the Noble Lord ill•advised in bringing forward the measure. - The Earl of LAUDERDALE approved of the measure, and thought it would he highly advantageous to the Peers o f Scotland to have their privileges, with respect to sitting in Parliament, assimilated to those of the Peers of Ireland'. —The measure was founded upon - the experience drawn from the Irish Union, and; from seeing how well it worked with respect to the Representative Pe(l'M .iu that House.— lie thought it right that the eldest sons of Scotch Peers skoph) sit in the House 'of Commons. He had himself sat in that Ho;lse for the space of nine yeas. With respect to time proposed Meagpre degrading the Peerage, he could • not conceive that a powee cf ;election was a power of de gradation. If he thought it - degrading, lie would .not assnme the power. The Peers of Scotland ought to come Forward in a body awl claim the privileges enjoyed by the Peen of Ireland, and he trusted that they would not be contented m 0 they obtained greater advantages than they now possessed. Lord REDESDALE thought dua a;ihjpet required more consideration than to be assented to that night. The pri s.ihrgPs of the Irish Peers had arisen from the circumstance, that at stiv titne of the Union several of the Irish Peers happened to ho lakr,abers of the English. House of Com mons. The present utts,aive was a violation of the Act of Union, and if the Parliament had th,:l power, he maintained tbo they had not the right to altet: that Act.. This had been ais.o of Lord Cowper. In his if a majority a the Peers of Scotland did . apprOVe the present measure, that 4long. &vas not sufficient to induce the House to accede to the propoaitioa. P.::::,ogapd at the period of the Union being the weaker • party, relied on the honour , 9 1 pie people of Englnd for holding sacred every article of the coutpi4 ; and it ought not to be infringed or violated in the smallest ,4;,gree, unless with the consent of the whole of the people of fri'er aii . 1, The present measure was a violation of that conip!Lci, "Pt 14 : 1)e therefore give it his apposition. The Ead ofW;LIIA IV EN very briefly repiiell,t9 a few of the observations made :;gainat the measure, and concluded by 'saying, that he should certainly forward next• Se ssion ; if not in its present form, in sons 2 alte74 s,liape less likely to meet with opposition. .• Thp question was then put, and negatived without a division. • C f C/RN LAWS. On the Duke of WELLII.PTPAi Moving the House into a Committee upon the Corn Laws, The Earl of LAUDERDALE stated that he had two. to make, and which he wished to propoe that night, in order that their Lordships might have time to consider diva' before the third reading of the Bill. A discussi on lipa.vc, and L or d LAptiFttpat.E, respecting tbe tint? of, arose ;between Earl STA Nporf, Lord! mating the Amendments, and it was finally agreed that the Amendments should be moved on bringing up the Re— port, which would equally Afford the Noble Earl an oppor tunity of entering them upon the Journals, and of follow ing them up by recording his Protests to the Eili• Earl STANHOPE would follow the example of the Eat! of Laudeitlale, And move his AmendMents on the Report, for the purpose of having them entered on the Journals of the House.. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY intimated that Amend ments could hardly, with regularity, be moved on the Re port, unless some, or one ut least, should be moved in the Committee. Earl STANHOPE would move an Amendment pro forma ' • and then moved a verbal Amendment, to which The Duke of WELLINGTON objected. Earl STANHOPE then said, that be would move ano ther formal Amendment, which was to insert before "con ' snmption," the words "importation for." This was an Amendment pro forma. There were twenty other such Amendments before this, but he moved this merely pr o forma. Lord BEXLEY suggested, that probably the best mode would be for Noble Lords to reserve their Amendments, and move them on the third reading, as their object was merely to have them put on the Journals of the House, and this would answer their purpose. This propoSition was received by all with approbation. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY then moved that the Bill he reported from the Committee without Amendments. This was agreed to, and the Report Was made, and im mediately received. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved that the Bill be read a third time on Monday next, and that the Lords be summoned far that day, which was ordered accordingly. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 17. Sir J. GRAHAM presented a petition from the Wool growers of Norwich, in favour of the circulation of small notes.

BUXTON presented a petition from Kingston upon-Hull against negro slavery in the West Indies; also similar petitions from Stuurbridge, Lowestoff, Stroud, Cromar, and Halstead. These petitions suggested that children born in the reign of George the Fourth should be free. Mr. F. BUXTON presented a petition to the same effect from the Society of Friends. This Society had at one time passed a resolution to the effect that no Member of the Society should hold his fellow-creature in bondage, awl in one instance, in North Carolina, tkey had actually sacrificed about 50,000/. in accordance with that resolu tion, having in effect released negroes to that value, though nominally they remained in bondage, for accord ing to. the laws of the province they had no right to grant them manumission. Sir A. GRANT said, that it was very easy for those who had no interest iu the matter, to exercise their philan thropic principles upon the property of others. He was as much opposed to slavery as the Hon. Gentleman, but then when they had invested their - money in that species of property, under the faith of that House, and of the nation, they were surely entitled to some compensation if the property was taken from them. He repeated that he did not stand up in that House as an advocate for sla very, but when they had thus invested their money, and had been encouraged, to do so by the nation, it was not right to take the mor.-y tiut of their pockets without afford ing them the slightest compensation. The petition was then ordered to be laid on the table. Mr. F. BUXTON presented a similar petition from Chipping Norton. Mr. F. BUXTON presented a petition from the Con gregation assembling in Lady Huntingdon's Chapel, in Ashbourne, praying that the burning of women in India might be put a stop to.

' Mr. CHAPLIN presented a petition from Grantham, Lincoln, against the Act for limiting the circulation of small notes in April, 1829. Sir A. GRANT brought up the Report on the Regis trars' Office, Ireland. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said that under this Bill there were lees imposed for registering deeds, which were not imposed in Ireland. What cost only ls. under the name of a fee in this country, was to be charged ten shillings in Ireland. This was in fact a great tax on the transfer of real property, which he did not think ought to he imposed on the landed proprietors of Ireland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER said that the Schedule of Fees in the Bill had been fixed upon the recommendation of a Commission of this flame. The report was agreed to, and the Bill tva , , ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. CALCUTTA PETITION. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH rose to present a petition from certain persons in Calcutta, praying for relief from grievances under which they suffer, in consequence of cer tain ineastu'es adopted towards them by the Government of India. It came from almost all the respectable waive in habitants of the place, and from all the unrepresented and unofficial Europeans resident in Calcutta; a city, which, in point of population, was the second in the British Empire, which was the capital of the British dominion in Asia, a dominion that contained not less than 80,000,000 of inhabitants ; and which, in point of capacity and extant, was coital in one direction• to that space upon the surface of our perfectly information Co obtainedl. y which t i to d wo f t , fewerf.'imieitchtideinihri the ie l e a 'n s p i t,>t,' /hi& Stretches from Andalusia to, Lapland : and in another direction to a portion of the samesurface, stretching from the western coast of Ireland to Mount Taurus. ( Hear.) Tito petition wits to be taken as that of all those inhabitants o f Calcutta who were in a condition to avow their own e there o h pt tal e t:v s }:h t ietelainroti petitioners individuals .eer o idxsv r ii:d t wtt i uee e authorities, a)w h jt e e heclerat w er:o ; e : • o pinions; and font personal knowledge, as well as from ; e ber eco mmunity rsoe4,:t ad : iviei 1,41 i n n . fl iese petitioners was to object agE„inst 4. stamp ditty im posed upon them by an Act of Par))arpea passed about 14 rnooths ago—(Hear, liear)—the efict of which was to i m poae 4 t4.X which h a d never b ee n i ntro d uce d into Cal cutta before. TI peptioners strongly complained of . . ,this duty as illegally Imposedl99o. them, as unjust in its principle, and a s mos t i nequ itably directed against them, looking to the peculiar nature of their relations with this country. Now, of the first of these grounds of objection he waS tipt prepared to give any opinion.-- As to the injustice of the principle, besides disputing their liability to such an impost, levied by the anthorities here, they alleged and were prepared to prove that while the general population of Bengal provided its quota of the re venue raised by the Indian Government at the rate of about Frs. per head, Calcutta already contribnted at the rate of IOS. per head. It was also otlded, that this tax was one most expensive in its collection, the charge of col lection varying from 40 to 45 per cent. (Hear.) He now came to what appeared to him matteruf very serious consideration—the question of the power eaereteed, and the policy pursued, by the Government of this country in the imposition of this tax open India. (Hear.) He knew very well that though most men would concede to I him that such an imposition was the result of an erroneous policy, some might r e jitend that necessity had rendered it unavoidable; and precedents, no doubt, might be readily qUoted for the measure.-13ut every one of those precedents unhappily would forcibly demonstrate its imprudence. The question here was, whether the British inhabitants of India ought to he called on to bear equal burdens before they were admitted to equal privileges with their fellow subjects, in respect of the parent state—(cheers)—whether they were not under their present condition, most inequitably called on to bear the burdens, while debarred from the privileges ? He thought they were. He asked no more for them than was already enjoyed by every other description of our sub jects throughout the vast regions of India.—(Hear.) — These equal privileges were possessed by all the native sub jects, Hindoos, Geutoos, and Malromedans.. None but Englishmen .or Europeans were denied them.--(llear, hear.)--Now, he had understood that he was to be met by au objection in the very threshold of his argument, for the extension of the same rights to British born subjects. He was to be told that the present system of 'our Govern ment had been found to answer well; and this had been the fatal principle upon which we had always, of late years, legislated with regard to India—any thing to put off the consideration of a question of this kind---any thing rather than waste a minute on the affairs of so vast a portion of our Empire. Had not the history of our legislature in 1773, 1784, 1793, and 1813, d emons t ra t e d t h same pro crastinating disinclination to look this subject in the face; and we had gone on with a system of misrule, which combined the disadvantages of all other systems, and was serious without deliberation, and sudden without vigour. The two last times that we had legislated for India occurred in the first and last years of the most terrible conflict in which this coun try was ever engaged ; these were not good seasons for introducing improvements, however • palpable their exi gency, into such a system. Three years now remained before the Government must finally determine whether the prosent system of Indian Government should be further persevered in. This would not be found too long a term for a mature consideration of the question. The Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman then went into the discus sion of the existing political condition of the petitioners ; and contrasted the first part of their exclusion from civil and political privileges with the admission of the Hindoo, the Tartar, the Gentoo, the Brat:nen, the Parsee, the Bud dist, and the Blioodist to them. He contended that the whole scheme of such a Government, of such a conquered country, was without example iu the history of nations. We had applied the maxims of factories to the administra tion of empire. He then reviewed the objections which were taken in 1813 to the alterations introduced in our Indian system, and demonstrated their fallacy; and hence he argued, that much greater improvements might yet be in troduced, India might be colonised by our own people ; and the seal of monopoly being taken off that noble country, .our political power might be enlarged, the parent state be relieved, and our expenditure diminished. He added, that returns in his hand demonstrated beyond dispute the rapid advance in amount and value of the exports to Bri tish India during the last seven years ; so little truth was there in the notion of the immutable condition of the na tive population, and of the impossibility of their demand for our manufactures, &c. increasing. In his (Sir James Mackintosh's) views upon India, lie was borne out by the travels of the late Bishop Heber, that amiable, excellent, and admirable ecclesiastic of the infant Church Establish ment in India. That competent judge of the matter de clared that the more English there were.in India the bet ter ; and that English projects, and the knowledge of ling land and English habits, since the relaxation of the charter, had stretched to the farthest extremitieonf that country. Articles of English manufacture had even tra velled to the very verge of the North-western Desert, amongst tribes to whom twenty years ago, the very name of England was unknown ; and who would have been unable to point out the quarter of the globe in which the island was situated ? So far then one objection urged to the relaxation of the charter had been removed, and the other had been equally falsified by experience. Two persons only were found to oppose the host of witnesses brought for ward. One of these was Lord Grenville, whose compre hensive principles of philosophy, united with a knowledge of the minute details of the subject, enabled his sound un derstanding to discern the fallacy of the doctrines promul gated on that occasion. The other was a gentleman who was then, although not now, a Member of that Manse, Mr. Rickards—a man not the less remarkable for his great talents and learning than for the extraor dinary benevolence of his moind. He also made a stand ; but the majority of the legislators of that day only presuined to act against tike host of witnesses whose testi mony was in opposition to them with fear and trembling. The oinOstion now for the noise was, whether they should sot at once go into the inquiry, instead of postponing it to the period when they would be called upon to pronounce a decision. By beginning early they would be enabled to go on slowly and steadily to the end. By such means our Empire in that quarter of the globe would not again be liable to become the prize of a disgraceful struggle be tween two parties, or the subject of a long and clamorous debate, which scarcely deserved the name of discussion.— But, by taking the course he recommended, they would best arm their minds with the facts which bore upon the question, and come to the consideration of it in a state fit to enable them to settle the future Government of India, and the intercourse of this and other nations with it, upon a permanent basis. He hoped, that whenever that great question should be discussed, that those who had not under taken the labour of acquiring information on the subject, would also abstain from the responsibility of judging upon a question affecting the happiness and interests of eighty mil lions of human beings. ' By the appointment of a Commit tee now, although the subject matter of their inquiry might require but a short period, the House would show its disposition to sift the question with a view to a future and more accurate investigation. The Right Hon. Geo tleman concluded, amidst the sheets of the House, by moving that the petition be brought up. The petition having been read by the Clerk, the Right Hon. Gentleman moved that it be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. WYNN doubted whether his Right Hon. Friend would attain the objects embraced in his speech by the motion he had submitted. The petition' had simply re , ference to the stamp duties, and he did not see how a Committee appointed to inquire into the contents of such a petition could branch into the important and extensive topics which it was the object of his Right Hon. Friend to bring into the investigation. There Wite plenty of time yet for the discussion of these important topics, and he trusted the House would not fail, long before the period for the renewal of the Charter, to give its serious attention to the subject. He confessed he did not see, that the House could now advantageously entertain the question re ferred to in the petition. She stamp duty complained of was first imposed in 1797, and be admitted it was upon an erroneous principle, inasmuch as the object wail() dis courage litigation by putting a tax upon judicial pro ceedings. So far as that was concerned he wished to see it remedied. But the Act of Hill was conclusive as to the power of the Indian Government to regulate the stamp duties-complained of. He was not one who concurred in the Act of 1814. He was indeed in the minority upon that Act, upon the principles of free trade. With refe rence, however, to that part of his Right Hon. Friend's statement, which attacked the Indian Government on account of its restriction on ' the emigration of individuals to India, he did not entirely agree with his Right Honourable Friend. Out of 965 applications to be allowed to go out to India, 743 had been complied with by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Controul bad given permission to many of the re jected catididates. The grounds upon which the refusals were given were, that it was not reasonable to allow indi viduals to go out to India, who had not a reasonable chance of obtaining a, livelihood when they got there. Re - fusels were also given to persons applying to go out to India as clerks, upon the ground- that occupations of that kind" were now filled by the half castes; and he (Mr. Wynn): was decidedly of opinion that a great fault had been com mitted in not introducing that class into the, exercise of civil offices.—(Hear.)—With reference generally to 'our possessions in India, it was not to be considered that we held them merely for the benefit of this country, as a means of settlement for the people of this country. He cousi dered that we had a higher duty to perform—a duty to wards the native population of India.—(Hear, bear.) — In lssp, he thought it would be time enough to prepare for the renewal of the charter. With regard to the peti tiono itself, he could only say, that if the I n dian the siwe;,. v i ei of odia -, n Grn to a Court enlightened that a n immense principle s b a d b een rnent acted illegally, there was an appeal either of Justice or to the privy Council. A Message from the Lords here announc ed their Lord ships' Assent to several Ptivate and Public B ills. Mr. HUME was extremely glad to be the eight Non, Gentleman who had just s a t down. He only reg retted tolie dormant a t ri b t ese so cui long;h and con tinent had been left so long oppressed by a bad Govern ment, when it appeared that it was known on what sort of prineiples a EMOd Goveruluent could be established in India. It had been said that this was a narrow petition, but did it not complain that they wrre not allowed to meet, that they, who had no representatives in that House, were debarred from meeting together to petition against taxes i which they had no representitives to object to for tI Calcutta might be looked upon as the centte Of a PS , tion of seventy or eighty millions--as the place fro ft the rest of India 'might be expected to take its t0° 6 0 4 contained a greater population than any other, totvo r v io London.

The petition, most respectably signed, and th e na t ure o f th e °over:4?l in India sufficiently accounted f or it not b e i ng pig! tie any one immediately in the service. The refusal_ ° ,lo government at Calcutta to allow th e pet i t i oners t o ar - reo et for the purpose of applying to this House, was the g instance of oppression that he ever heard of. DTI" however, meet in defiance of the threats which low" held out.

Th e t a x 0 0 , diately in question, the stamp tax, excited universal e l ' retire, hut it was, after all, only the spark to a mass al powder, for there was a point at which grievances bee intolerable ; and when he looked at the general go v o ment of India, he could only wonder that such a sYI had been so long endured. If a p roo f was wan ting misgovernment of the country, let the House only look a pauper revenue raised from ir.

In England revenue raised amount e d t o Si. or 41. a h ea d f orsao hiu" , tent ; and yet India was the richest country in the And this small receipt arose out of ae disinclination to ifs' • taxes; duties were payable in India of a description tw k ,,i at least in any European s t a t e .

The words, the accuracy of whiei, believed might be relied upon, had been used by the, perer in the course of a discussion upon French CO affairs; and their teuour was as follows :—" With r e d to foreign colonies," (BuonaParte said) "it is fit to ge4 i . them with energy ; that there cam be no energy o r 'a there is not justice. To this end it is necessary . that, Governmeut at home should be informed of every that passes, and that it should hear the statements 01 . parties aggrieved or concerned ; for it is not sufflei€ merely to do that which is right, men must know their claims are beard and their interests attended to ; this cannot be the case unless they feel that they hav e l power of making themselves heard. If the councils State were composed of angels or gods, who the power of i n t u iti ve ly com p re h en di ng an d deo"' all questions rightly, it would signify nothing' " v dt the colonists were assured that th e i r own staterov o and representations were h e a r d an d t a k en into r ° , sideration." He (M r . H ume ) w i s h e d t h a t the ;i Right Hon. Secretary ter the Colonies had been still place, and iu a condition to carry those golden pri uei „' s al, into execution. But what was the system now ,!:,11' upon? It proceeded upon the very reverse of thew 1 ' 0 ,! its bearings. Th e p ress was st ifl e d ; every means o f t tt munication wer e c h ec k e d ; an d upon ever y question arose is India, the rul ers o b s ti nate l y re j ecte d a ll ior°l, tion but that whi c h reac h e d t h em t h roug h the i r ow° " I tie!, channels. For these reasons, and a vast noo' ber i t l , others with which he would not detain the /10 1 °' of , thought the motion of his Right Hon. Friend most °Pr tune, and should undoubtedly Support it. Lord ASHLEY—It was difficult to make taxation P., latable; and to Coils particular tax, th e s t am p duty, e l s 9l t devable dislike appeared to be ente r t a i ne d. It was said t o ,o it was a poor pitiful tax, not p ro d uc i ng more t 100,000/. per annum. Now the less the contribution .1, these individuals, the less rea son h a d th e y to cotophlr ) , especially when it was recollected h o w ex tremely weal' ij this capital of central India was. Y e t, as it was ss , that the debt, contracted by reason of the Burmese Ns was in amount 340,000/., it must be seen that the coot!: bution of those persons at Calcutta, forming 00541110: nearly of that debt, could not, be considered unikaport s be : even in that fabled laud of wealth. - It.was argued by good people of Calcutta, that they enjoyed nothing in rt,, of their contribution in this instance. .Whet ! wa s it notb": , that they were protected in peace and quietness, and in ° J .

To p rove a l so th a t what been 'alleged as to the scale of duti es w hi c h h a d been ley being unfair, he would remind the House, that the re r scarcely any duties imposed,on imports higher than cent., whilst in this country they were constantly from ~io to 20/. 251. and even 83/. per cent. Th e ar ti c le a 'P'" , ?t on which a considerable profit a ccrue d, was c h arge d proP h tionably moderately ; and even French brandy, on w t f here we paid I9s. per gallon, was subj ec t t o on ly a guy n ° ,l ten 6(1.--(llear, hear.)—Upon the whol e , h e wo uld ai that the people of Calcutta enjoyed under their Pre se o n y form of government such peace and protection, and so g r ' s jin , inestimable advantages , th a t th e y h a d n o reaso n to c ° plain ; and as respected taxation, he saw so little rolseifthe think that they ought not to be put on a footing_ with natives, that he felt the Right Hon. and Learned Greolo ao had made out no case whatever; and he should the r , 1 oppose the motion fora Committee to inquire into the sabre - Mr. TRANT opposed the motion. - Mr. ASTELL said,' this was the case of petitioo t,* merchants of Calcutta, complaining of certain duties ru e posed upon stamps, which They considered an d d e aouo" as both illegal and impolitic. The illegality hactbeeo ally gether disproved. Whilst upon the other topiO;the inrin . ", not, as of those dOties, he Would remind the Hon: . Member , t ' l !" the Governor and Council had actually in late•'year 6 l witted several duties and taxes. • The happiness 0 ' ' -e people of Calcutta went hand in hand with their con,' mercial prosperity. The question before the House w' as ' might have been conjectured from the Course . t "; night pursued by many, a question whether 'the Pre' e° 'node of a d m i n i s t er i ng th e g overnmen t o f I n di a s hould 19 changed, and another substituted, of a more pure and Pet' feet nature, in its stead. He had anticipated that, as ova; when the Hon. Member rose, the same tone of exa gg eoti° , would be used, and the same - strain of invective adop geu ' against the Government of India and the Board of Direr' tors. He felt himself called on now, as he had !l oll : before, to repel that unwarranted attack,. The Directeci had come in for a share of his abuse, and they bad ! 4° o , charged with stifling investigation, and acting on prop, ' information, where they ought to have brought the Iree' l !;, and accuser face to face. This imputation cf stifling ' . vestigation was the argument . for ever in th at On Member's mouth, whenever he rose, or on whatever sol 9 1) he spoke connected with India; and he verily believ.eotr that • whatever might he the evil in the system, that whatever •was the subject u° ", - , the grievances experienced tinder the Government of v country, that Hon.

S uch too often the ease in Calcutta even at present.' (Hear.)—What might be the consequence of withholding from the Directors the coutroul over adventurers to thsg country, they might not he aware ; but he was satisfied that if it were taken away, there would one result follow. which was--that the character of the British would suf fer there so much, if settlers were allowed to go out with out restriction, there would be au end to the political coo' flexion bet Ween India and this country. Mr. BROUGHAM, although he admitted there had been considerable light thrown on some of the allegatioo e as to grievances in the petition in the course of the debate , still he felt, that should the question go to a division, lie would, because he preferred that the whole subject should be referred to a Committee, vote for the motion of h i ' Right Hon. and Learned Friend.
