" At the Meeting of the Committee : " The House of Commons having ordered the Report pre- sented on the 17th of April, 1810, on Marine.lnsuiance, to be re-printed ; and . a notice given by Mr. Foweli. Buxton, of his intention to move on Monday next, for a Committee of the House, on the Act of Geo. I. cap. 18, which restricts part nerships and societies from insuring ships and goods, and from lending money upon bottomry." " Resolved—That a General Meeting of the Subscribers be held on Tuesday.next, the 18th instant, at 12 o'clock pre cisely, for the purpose of considering what measures it may be . necessary to take in consequence thereof. The following ResolUtions were carried unanimously :- 1. That it appears to this Meeting that it will be highly de- trimental to the interests of this house and the public in gene ral, and ruinous to numerous individuals who have made in surances their sole business, and by whose talent, experience, and industry, together with those of their predecessors, during a period of more than 'lO9 years, the system of underwriting has been fokered and improved beyond that of any other coun lry, if joint stock companies or partnerships be now authorised to effect marine insurance. 2.. That, in the opinion of this Meeting, the formation of Joint Stock Companies for the. purpose of effecting that which can and has been done advantageously by individuals, would be to create so many monopolies in different branches of com merce, be an infringement of the general rights of the public, operate as an injurious restraint upon individual exertion and competition, and 4 estructive of that system which has produced so. much benefit to the commercial world in general. 3. That a Special Committee be appointed, who shall be, and are hereby authorised to prepare and present Petitions to Parliament or his Majesty's Government, and generally- to adopt all such measures as they shall deem expedient for the purpose of supporting the interests of this establishment ; and that all expences attending the same be defrayed out of the, funds of this house. 4.

That the best thanks of this Meeting be given to the Chairman for the able manner in which he has brought forward and conducted the business of this day. PARLIAMENT, HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE I_l. •BUILLING CHURCHES IN IRELAND. The Earl of KINGSTON moved, that the petition that he presented yesterday be referred to the Committee on the State of Ireland. The Earl of LIMERICK rose, for the purpose of com plaining of the conduct of a Right Rev. Prelate, who, in the course of his speech last night, alluded to him, not personally, hut by description so accurately, that they who ran might read. The Right Rev. Prelate complained of his (Lord Limerick) not having assented to a proposition fur the erection of a church ' in a parish in which he had considerable influence. The Noble Earl defended himself against a charge, which, he thought, had not been fairly brought forward in his absence. Lord GORT vindicated the course pursued by the Right Rev. Prelate. The Earl of LIMERICK explained. The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to order, and said, that it was his duty to put th e question, whether th e petition pre sented by the Noble Earl Yesterday should be referred to a Committee. The Earl of DARNLEY thought the petition should be re ferred ; and hoped the House would grant certain papers, relative to the Church of I re l and, which he had before moved for. _ _ --- The Earl of LIVERPOOL Observed, that if the petition wer e referred to the Committ ee, he should object to its leading to inquiry into the state of the Ch urc h o f I re l an d for, he was convinced, that it was desirable t o li m i t t h e i nqu iries of the Committee, and not throw upon them th e weight of investiga tion into every grievance that every i n di v id ua l might think proper to bring forward as a fit obj ec t f or th e i r a ttention. Viscount CLIFDEN observed, that he had seen in a Morn ing Paper a paragraph, which stated that the Allies were most anxious that the Catholics of Ireland should be freed from the disqualifying statutes under which they laboured.— He had no doubt of their zeal on this subject; but he thought they were probably a little more anxious to separate Ireland from England ; and in case of a war, they would, he had no doubt; make that attempt ; and he was sorry the present system pursued towards Ireland should cause at least so nnich discon tent in that part of the empire, as to make such a scheme a source of alarm at a future period for a single moment, which probably it might be. There Were no persons so ill qualified to take part in political affairs as clergymen. Lord Clarendon's politics. opinion was, that of all persons who could read and write, the clergy t rose to order, and said, that que question ,t e oi r o e nn t bhp: before reers thet CHANCELLORjud ii g o e u s in e was whether the petition pre sented yesterday should be referred to a Committee. Viscount OLIFDEN assured the House that he would not detain them long, and asserted that Ireland could never be tranquil whilst the present state of things continued. The Noble Lord then adverted to the scarcity of places for public worship in Ireland, many of them not being better than thatch ed huts. — The petition was then referred to the Committee. MESSAGE FROM THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir James Graham and others, froth the Commons, brought up several private bills. COMMISSIONERS FOR BUILDING CHURCHES. Mr. Jenner, from the Commissioners for Building Churches, presented papers to their Lordships. , MANCHESTER GAS BILL. The Earl of LAUDERDALE objected -to this Bill ; but as it had now passed both Houses, it was too late to say anything about it; but next session he w ould intro duce a Bill to repeal it, as he considered it a job. LOCAL TAXATION OF LIMERICK. Lord GORT presented a peion from the landholders and householders of the liberty of Limerick, PraYiii g that the parish of St. Michael's, in Limerick, may be included in the local taxa tion of the city. The Earl of LIMERICK, with some Warmth, objected to the. presentation of the petition; and the Earl of CLARE followed on the same side. Lord GORT rose under great irritation, amidst cries of w a a s s it th w en as la l i i d ke o ly n the table. " Order." The Marquis of LANSDOWN said that he was sorry to interrupt the Noble Lord, hut bethought the time of the House lion a subject of local interest, and , L C o i r e d tk p e r n e w s C e l l e' d similar -tp lead to "mai gerbctant j o o t n t . o_b p e pha o er c t e pi t e r et p itli i at ei o l lny i n discussions o al u t petitions from the parishioners of EQUITABLE.

A petition was also presented from tbe pawnbrokers of .Man chester, praying to be heard by Counsel against the e l They were seve ra lly laid on the table. The. Earl of,LAUDERDALE, as we understood, said that he should opp ose the Equ it a ble Loan Bill going into a Com mitter. DISSENTERS' OATHS. Th e 11,- trcluis of LANSDOWN resented a petition from the Dissenters of 'Wareham, in Dorsetsitire, praying to be relieved ; „C from taking oaths inourts of: Justice.—Laid on the table. WEIGHTS AND 'MEASURES. The Marquis df LANSDOWN. ,Presented Petitions. from, two individuals, against the Weights and Measures Regulation Bill.—Laid on the table. REMOVAL OF THE. NORFOLK ASSIZES. Lord , SUFFIELD presented a Petition from the assembled, magistracy of the county,.of Norfolk, praying that the Assizes, may be held at Norwich on all occasions, instead of alternately at Norwich and Thetford. The Duke of GRAFTON . said a few words which were ttii. audible below the bar. The LORD CHANCELLOR opposed the prayer of the petition, as it belonged to the Crown alone to appoint the places where Assizes should be held. The petition was ordered to be printed. GAME LAWS. On the Order of the Day for the second reading of the. Game Laws being read, Earl GROSVENOR said, that in rising on the present occa- sion he did not mean to tr ouble the House at length, because the question had .been so much discussed in another Place but there were one or two points that he must refer to. The object of his bill was, to legalise the sale of game by repealing that part of the Game laws that made. it penal to buy or sell game; as this bill was limited exclusively to that point, he trusted the measure would meet with the approbation of their Lordships. It would be more prudent to pass this bill during peoermsotnnsitetend tfihr tered.the walls of a prison in consequence of e t, epyrielssecinitaSt arose enu under ePrattiapmreensetn, present system. it , was . well known against those laws, comparatively innocent in their condUct, and much better subjects than when they came out of them. The more facility that was given to bring any, article to market, the greater he believed, would be the uantity in the market of such article; and he thought this principle would hold good 2daa:t ,Many with regard to game, as the cheapness of it would destrby the temptation. No one now stole deer, because they Might be sold publicly in a market ; which, he thought, was a fair example to induce their Lordships to put in practice the theory he proposed to their notice. In foreign countries there wis no fear of game being destroyed in consequence of its being sOld; it was publicly brought to market; and why shoidd the appre hension exist here ? The Noble Earl then moved the second reading of the Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack and observed, that after the fate of a similar Bill in another place, he could not see the advantage of passing this met turn LA partio (for it was the smallest Bill he had ever seen). The subject had been under consideration for five months, and still Gentlemen could not make up their minds upon it. Poaching was certainly an evil, and a very great one ;. by permitting poachers to 'sell game, the evil would not be decreased, for then lie would be flowed to sell what he never bought. If this Bill were passed it would take away the great solace and comfort of his life, for he did not think he should be enabled to find a single partridge in a short time after the operation of this Bill commenced. He could see no advantage in passing this measure on the 11th June, 1824, when other persons had told them that , after five months con sideration, they could not make up their minds on the subject. Lord DACRE rose, under great diffidence, to support the Bill, after what had been said by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack; but he could not avoid doing so when be reflected that between two and three thousand persons were committed to prison every year under the present system ; but he thought the Bill of the Noble Lord would not answer the purpose he had in view from its introduction, as it would not, lie feared, excite a proper feeling in the lower orders on the subject which it was so desirable to effect. He hoped that his Noble Friend would introduce a measure in the next Session cf a more extended nature. . Lord CALTHORPE supported the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND oppoSed the Bill. The Marquis Of SALISBURY said, that if the Bill were not greatly altered in another stage, he would oppose it. • The Earl of CARNARVON strongly supported the Bill, for he thought the present system of the Game Laws had a strong tendency to demoralise the character of the lower orders of the people ; but in consequence of what took place in another House, he suggested the propriety of postponing the considera tion of question until the next Session, when it could be brought forward with more effect. After a few remarks from Earl GROSVENOR in reply, the Bill was negatived without a division. WELSH JUDICATURE BILL. Lord KENYON moved that the Welch Judicature Bill be committed. Lord CAWDOR opposed their Lordships going into a Coni mittee.. Lord ItEDESDA LE was in favour of the Bill. After a few words from Lord KENYON, The Earl of LIVERPOOL said that he hoped the further consideration of the measure would be postponed until the en suing Marquis weck. of BUTE opposed the Bill. Lord KENYON consented to postpone the consideration of the question until Monday. STAFFORD ATTAINDER REVERSAL BILL, &c. The Report of the Committee of Privileges, to which the Bills respecting the Stafford and the other Peerages, which it was proposed to restore, were referred, was brought up. The re port was agreed to, and the third reading of the Bills for the Restoration of Honours was fixed for Monday. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES BILL. The Weights and Measures Bill was committed and reported. The several Bills before the House were forwarded in their respective stages, and their Lordships adjourned at Ten o'Clock, to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. -- - Mr. F. BUXTON presented petitions from Honiton, Mat lock, and Haverford \Vest, against Negro Slavery.—Laid on the table. Similar petitions were presented from Wigtown and Chester -le-street. Mr. DICKENSON presented a petition from Glastonbury, relating to the case of Mr. Smith. Similar petitions were presented from Biggleswade, Angle sea, and liars or, Wisbeach, and the Isle of Ely. Mr. DICKENSON moved for a series of Returns relative to the receipt and application of the Funds of the various coun ties in England and Wales.—Ordered. Sir 1. COFFIN rose to correct a mis-statement which he made last night. Sir Thomas Trowbridge was not impressed, although he crept in at the hawse-holes and got out at the 'cabin windows. Colonel WODEHOUSE postponed his motion relative to the Norfolk Assizes to Monday next. Mr. HUME presented a petition from an individual named Sadler, in the Ed g eware-road, complaining of injury done him by some Magistrates, in refusing to grant a license. The Hon. Member had told the petitioner that the Court of Law would be his best resort for a remedy, as he stated one of the Magis trates, Mr. Cockerell, had acted in violation of the principle of the Act of Parliament, and an action had accordingly been commenced. Mr. WYNN said, that as the petitioner had .applied to the proper tribunal, he did not think the House ought 'to entertain the consideration of the case. After a few words from the Saucy' . oa-GxxxnAL and Mr. H TINE, the petition was withdrawn. The Report of the Milbank Panitentiary Committee was brought up, and ordered to be printed. MARINE INSURANCE BILL. Mr. F. BUXTON moved the bringing up of the Report of the Marine insurance Mr ROBERTSON said that as the opponents of the Bill were absent, he trusted the Honourable 31ember would not press the, motion now. Mr. F. BUXTON said that this objection was made last night, and that it could be made t# any future time, if alloWed, so that the measure would be lost by delay. Mr. GRENFELL said, that as this Bill had pissed several stages without.the attention which its importance deserved, be should take every opportunity of opposing it, and should there fore take the sense of the House upon the present motion. He called upon Hon. Members to look back at the proceedings of IMO, 1810, and 1811, when similar attempts were made and re ected by the House. The political economists were in t he habit of overlooking many little things that stood in theilnwaiL, or of paying no attention to them if they saw them. I t t's con present instance they forgot the justice of th e case. Inr.t,,hhets c old-blooded indifference, they would tramp le on vested ir and break down Acts of Parliament without a I:L'i°N3.7ct.

'He was sorry that the coirmiercial part of his Majesty's Government had been gained over to the views of these parties. Happily, however, for the country, there was a Watchfulness over proceedings like these 'in another place, Which he trusted would not allow the Bill to become law, even if it should pass that House. The House then diYided— 'For the motion Against it - Majority - - IMPORTATION OF TEA TO THE CANADAS. Upon our re-admission to the Gallery, Mr., HUME was opposing the .third reading of the Bill for permitting. Tea to be imported by the East India Company, direct from China to Canada. He admitted, that under the existing Charter, it was not possible to relieve this country from the monopoly possessed by that body, but he protested against extending it to the West India and American Colonies. He wished the measure to be postponed for that night, and if that should not be consented to, he should take the sense of the House upon it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the Bill was what the Hon. Member stated it to be, it should not have his support. It bad been brought in upon no such grounds as those of extending the monopoly of the Company. The facts stood thus. No tea could at present be imported into Canada 1 ut through this country, and consequently through the East India Company, as they possessed the exclusive right of supplying this country. The object of the present Bill was to relieve the Canadas from this inconvenience, by allowing the Company to import direct from China to the Canadian ports. Withont an infringement of the Charter, which he was persuaded the House would never sanction, no other subjects of this kingdom would supply the article in ques tion, or he would readily have consented to open the market. Under these circumstances it was necessary that the law should be so altered as to remedy the grievance complained of by the Canadas. Mr. ELLICE trusted that his Hon. Friend would with draw his opposition, as it was absolutely necessary that some regulation should be made for carrying on the trade with Ca nada. If the Hon. Member could persuade his friends at the India House to open that trade next Session, he for one should then support the repeal of this measure. Mr. BRIGHT contended that the Bill gave an. additional advantage to the East India Company, without any equivalent being returned for it. The Treasury ought to have had a quid pro quo, and to have treated with the Company as with a foreign power. Mr. WYNN read the Act which gives the Company the' exdusive traffic in tea through all his Majesty's dominions. The object of the Bill was not to benefit the Company, but for the benefit of the Colonies. The Hon. Member had said that the Government ought to have made a bargain with the Com pany, but he forgot that there were two parties to a bargain. If the Bill were postponed until next year, Canada must suffer by the delay. Mr. HLTME would not divide the House, but still enter tained his objection to the Bill. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. SCARLETT brought up the Report of the Lancaster County Courts' Bill. The third reading was fixed for Monday next. CARLILE. Mr. HUME rose to present a petition from Richard Carlile, not alluding to the offences for which he was originally con fined in prison, but stating that he was now imprisoned for the non-payment of his fine, but that he was not treated as Crown debtors usually were. Mr. PORTMAN made a few observations which were in audible in the gallery. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that Carlile was in one respect a Crown debtor. But he was suffering from the sentence of the Court to be imprisoned for a certain time, and to pay a fine to the King, and to. be further imprisoned until such tine be paid. Therefore he apprehended that the further imprisonment upon the non-payment of the fine, must be the same in every re spect as the first imprisonment, and rendered him liable to all the regulations of the prison. In consequence of complaints from Mr. Carlile, he had thought it his duty to inquire into the treatment which he experienced in the jail; and he must say that under all the circumstances, the conduct of Magistrates had been marked by extraordinary forbearance, discretion, and firmness. Mr. Carlile complained of personal restrictions; but the House would not think any personal restraint too great when they heard that he endeavoured to contaminate every person in the prison with the doctrines and principles for which he had suf fered the sentence of the law. Amongst other acts of violence he had put up a written notice, stating .that after a particular day he should consider himself illegally confined, and should therefore feel justified in murdering the first person who ob structed his liberty. After this, who would say that the Ma gistrates were not justified in taking measures for protecting the lives of those intrusted with the custody of his person, and even for Mr. Crank's own personal safety. The petition having been brought up and read, Mr. Secretary PEEL wished to add, that Mary Ann Carlile had received a free pardon. Mr. HUME said, that he thought the principles of Carlile had nothing to do with the present question., and that Mr. Car lile ought to be treated as a pecuniary debtor. Mr. W. SMITH thought the question as to excessive fines was one of considerable importance. Mr. Secretary PEEL said ,the Crowp fine after ,the lapse of sufficient time, to shew that t h e non-pay ment arose from inability. Mr. HUME said, that if the fine was beyond the ability of tinted mpr the person to pay, it certainly was in law a fine which amounted to a sentence of iisonment for life. always remitted the Mr. PORT.MAN objected to the printing of the with improper as it charged individuals not before the House conduct. 1 o r dered to lie on the table.
