Alderman WOOD brought up a Bill from the House of Commons for improving the approaches to London-bridge. The Lunatic Asylum Bill was read a second time. Adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEBRUARY 23. Mr. RIDLEY COLBORNE brought up the report of the Committee upon the Oxford election petition, which declared that William Hughes Hughes was duly elected, and that the petition against his return was not frivolous or vexatious. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented petitions from several parishes in Kent, praying fot• the repeal of the malt duties. Mr. B. CAR FEN presented a petition from Portsmouth, praying for Parliamentary Reform. Mr. BEAUMONT presented similar petitions from several places in Northumberland ; and Mr. SANDFORD, from place; in Wiltshire. On the motion of Sir E. KNATCHBULL, the time allowed for the presentation of petitions on private Bills was extended to Monday next. The grounds for the postponement were, that the House would not sit to morrow, and that on Friday there would be three ballots. Mr. SANDFORD presented three petitions from Somer setshire, praying fur a commutation of tithes. In answer to a question from Sir E. KNATcHntar., Lord ALTHORP stated, that it was his intention to take off the coal duties on the Ist of March. By that time, he understood all the stock in hand in London and the neighbourhood would be exhausted ; and, touching the cargoes of vessels in the port of London, if no part were discharged Mole the Ist of Marcb, they should be free from duty; but if any part were discharged the duty should be levied. In reply to a question from Mr. S. WORTLEY, The NOBLE LORD also stated, that it was his intention to bring in a Bill to regulate the duties taken on coals in the port of London; and that, therefore, be would take no present steps respecting them. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the Act of Parliament of Geo. 11. had given power to the Lord Mayor of Dublin to regulate the landing of coals in the port of that city. That power had sometimes been oppressively used. He wished tl know if that was to be altered? Lord ALTHORP said it was Lis intention to collect all the local regulations, with a view to a consolidate them. Sir M. W. RIDLEY asked whether it was the Noble Lord's intention to take off the Richmond shilling? Lord ALTHORP said he should be glad to repeal that if he could, with the duty, but he could say nothing posi tively. The subject should be taken into consideration. Air. TENNA N T wished to know whether the benefits of the measure were to be extended to the British Colonies ? Lord ALTHORP was understood to say that the coals would not go duty-free, but that it was possible there might be a reduction of the duty. Sir J. MACINTOSH presented petitions in favour of Reform from Glasgow, Elgin, Fife, Forlar, and Melrose, and anti-slavery petitions from several places. Sir M. W. RIDLEY presented a petition from the corporation of Newcastle, praying for an extension of the elective franchise to the householders of that town. The Hon. Member remarked on this petition, as affording a most praiseworthy instance of the readiness of a corpgraO i on, to sacrifice their privileges for the public adv4F t te,g; , , Mr. HODSON most cordially support 4 the prayer of the petition, which he said was mpg Islspeotable in its sig natures. REFORNI PETITIONS. Mr. POWEMAN took that opportunity of asking the Nnide Lord the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he had considered any plan by whi4 the very numerous peti, tions in favour of Reform could he presented, without in terfering with the, usual business of the UQ,use.,? Lord ALTHORV said, that certainty it was proper that the petitions should Ha pwaented before the discussion came on ; and hg did nut know any other mode of effecting that object, except by the House sitting on Saturday. HUMS concurred with the Noble rt..ot-11 in that respect, but suggested, that as tlr4 'House was thus com• pelled to break in upon t_e stay usually reserved for the necessary relief of the Speaker, it should be ar, uuder standiez that the sitting should not continue rater than six . o'clock. The SPEAKER —Thew will updoubtedl4y Le great difficulty in making any amangement that shall be satis factory to eery one with vespeot to the time of the re ceipt: of petitious upon this momentous subject. I ant sure that the House will feel, and will do me the credit of believing that I feel, anxious there should be no 17,2... r epresentation in the public mind, that this .!7cnse IS unwil ling to extend, to the utmost pose;,h4t limit, the time for receiving petitions. It is h. possible, as it has been said, to stretch the day to more than twenty-four hours, and public convenience has, therefore, required that as the pressure of other matters is consideraUe, we should go into the business of the day at live o'clock: Time, how ever, is allowed for presenting petitions after the ordinary business has been gone through, as well as before it has begun ; and at the close of the night every *tuber has the opportunity, if lie has the strength—(Hear, hear)—to present petitions. Still, however, many petitions remain to be presented, and no other mode of getting them pre sented suggested itself to me but the proposition now made by the Noble Lord. If, therefore, it meets the wish of the House, I should suggest that the chair should be taken at such an hour u will really give Members an epporttinity o f presenting , and I will for that purpo se come k. At the sam e ti me th at I s hop e that the Hous e w ill en thdiwl mat t these sttwelve express p petitions , i s t o i m o , yi b e s en able rue to do this with effect, and that Menabtrs will at that hour assemble in sufficient numbers to prevent the necessity of my sitting at the table without being able to form a House.—(Hear, liar.) I propose, therefore, with the approbation of the House, to come donn a here and take the chair at twelve o'clock Qtl Saturday. Lord ALTHORP observed, that the ready sacrific e of necessary relaxation thin made by the Speaker must be received by the House with great satisfaction.—(Cheers.) He hoped that on Saturday no other business would be in troduced but the presentation of Reform petition!, and that the House would meet exactly at twelve, and not sit be yond six. The SPEAKER said—l am very much flattered by the manner in which the House has received my sug gestion ; in making which, I feel that I have done no more than my duty, and I may honestly add, that I believe the same thing would have been done under similar circum stances by any individual who might have the high honour to occupy this Chair. There is one other point which I wish to mention. The whole object we have in view will lie defeated it we do not succeed in gett"ng three ballots on Eiday ; for the House is aware, that by the recent Act of Parliament, no business whatever can be proceeded fir till those ballots have been disposed of.. Hon. Members must, therefore, attend the House on Friday, if they wish the arrangement for Saturday. to be tffectuar. Mr. C. WYNNE, to meet this difficulty, suggest,d that there should be a call of the House on Friday next, and a motion for that purpose was accordingly made.—Ordered. LUNATICS. Mr. GORDON, in making his motion on this subject, observed, that the present laws relating to the treatment of lunatics bad secured to them considerable advanttge, and - that these laws chiefly owed their efficacy and sum ss to the honourable exertion of the Noble Chairman of the Bard of Commissioners. After stating that the laws now in force would shortly expire, and urging the claims of lunatics to the compassionate attention of the House, he moved for leave to bring in it Bill to amend and conso. Hate the provisions of the 9th of George IV. c. 41., and 10 George IV., c. 18, relating to the treatment of lunatics Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, after adverting to the of for which the Metropolitan Lunatic Commis_ sion had been appointed, and to the manner in which those objects had been accomplished, proceeded to notice the manner in which the Commissioners had received the kindest support and assistance from the late Lord Chancel.. lor. Until within the last few days, they had great reason to think that they should receive equal courtesy and appro bation front the Nuhle Lord with whom at present the Great Seal was deposited. Within the last week, however, an occurrence had taken place, which induced the Corn.. misssioners to believe that their labours were not now viewed in a light by any means so favourable. He was aware that this was not the fittest place fur adverting to the conduct of an individual in so high a station, and for arraigning the proceedings of a Noble Judge at the head of the law establish ments of the kingdom ; and nothing but the neces sity he felt of vindicating himself, and those with whom he had acted, from an unfounded imputation, should have induced him (Lord G. Somerset) to call the atten tion of the House to the subject. It appeared that in the course of last week a case regarding the lunacy of a per son of the name of Houston was Irmght on in the Court of Chancery, and on that occasion the Lord Chancellor ' had used expressions which amounted to a charge against the Metropolitan Lunatic Commission, that it had been meddling and interfering most improperly with the prero pgastLvres ofw were e e naCorroewonr. leas s Thinking .a t that i., :y ( r ., e , p r r o e r e t t s , i n a n t il h e t n ews. papers at his Lordship, had he been lulls acquainted with the fac!si, would not have employed he terms he hail used, the Com mi,sioners considered that it would not be disrespectful to his Lordship individually, nor improperly infringing oit the respect they owed to his station, to request him to re lieve them from the imputation he had cast upon them.-- They accordingly addressed a letter to the Lord Chan cellor, which, as it had been severely characterised by the Noble Lord, he hoped the House would permit him to read. He would introduce it only by the remark, that it was not written under the expectation that it would be ex posed to any severity of criticism, although it was to be looked upon as an official communication from a body au thorised by Act of Parliament. It ran thus-- " Mr Loan,—The report, such as it appeared in the Times and Morning Herald papers of Tuesday last, of the cue of Mr. Houston, a lunatic, gives us reason to fear that from a misap prehension of the way in which the Metropolitan Commissioners in Lunacy had acted with regard to that individual, your Lord. ship adopted and expressed an erroneous opinion of our disposi tion, and our conduct in reference to this as well as to other eases of persons confined tinder commissions of lunacy. We are anxious to state that wo neither directly nor indi rectly have ever interfered with any patient tinder the juristiii.- tion &the Lord Chancellor, unless In pursuance of the suggestion of the Lord Chancellor himself; We have ever studiously re. spected his high authority • but we have felt it our duty, when ever circumstances connected with persons confined under hi,. jurisdiction have come to our knowledge which seemed to re quire his attention, to submit them to his Lordship, and your Lordship's predecessor never intimated that lie considered such a course an undue interference with the functions of the indivi dual to whom his Majesty entrusted his jurisdiction in matters connected with lunatics ; but, on the contrary, he unifornth sanctioned and approved of it. .` In this particular case some of our body, when officially Ai. siting Mr. Stilwell's house, found the lunatic Houston in great agitation, and much distressed at the idea of being removed thence to some other place of confinement ; and having ascer tained, as far as an ex-parte inquiry could inform them, that there was no apparently good reasuo, to justify his removal, ou-- of them wrote a private letter la Mr. Loudham, that he might acquaint the then Lord Chancellor with these circumstances, add Mr. Loudham expressed his Lordship's thanks for the informa tion which was thus afforded him. The visitors stated these fact.; to the next general meeting of the Commissioners, who decided that their clerk, Mr. Brown, should in a snore official inannes• communicate them to Mr. Loudhain, for Lord Lyndhurst's formation, so that Mr. Houston might not be removed from, )lt: Stilwell's house without an investigation as to the fitness and ne cessity of his removal. In consequence of this, Lord Lysididirst directed Dr. Bright, Dr. Southey, Dr, Turner, and Dr. Hume, the four medical Commissioners, to proceed to Mr, Stilwell's, 'o, examine Mr. Houston particularly on this point, and to make a special report to him. Tiiis they accordingly did, ays.s his Lordship gave orders, through Mr, Loudham and NT. Brown, that Mr. Houston should continue to be contimsi se Mr. Stilwell's, until his Lordship gave (hither directions, Since that period various applications have been made to the Commis sioners on the subject, as well IA Mr. Stilwell a, by the othei.- party, and our invariable reply his beets that Avcs could no, fur ther interfere, and we have every reason to believe that ;Ise re, plies of our clerk to similar applications hale been to 1- ,'.o* value effect. " Having thus siated, as concisely as possible, the , Iniy con nexion we have had with the circumstances of Nlir. Houston', confinement at air. Stilwell's. we trust your Lordship will pub _ licly relieve us from the charge of presumpti ou and undue ill. terterence with the authority' of the Crownswhich your Load ship is reported to have preferred against us. 1-or we be to ob serve, in conclusion, that in the performance of its irksome duty, we arc not conscious of eet.r havi ng ev i li ,d 3m .., di sp „, i _ tion to exceed the authority ei,ofraT e d on u s by the Statute j. ,,,j e , which we act, and we dottLA slot that your Lervistrip will feo that the obsi!rvations which brave been attributed to your Leirdsbior are calculated to dep,z;ve the Commission or that public cstina__ tion which is es..4,titial to the proper discharge t:,t its ohicial duties. 0 We have tt,e honour, &c.

What had been the mode of proceeding adopted on the n,casiou - 'by the Noble Lord ? He had not openly read tl;e cow munication, but without giving anybody the means of yudgiog of its contents, be characterised it as a most in decent letter.

The Lotd Chancellor had. wade it a ground of corm:l4lA that the Commissioners had not distrusted the z.couracy of newspaper rkports. In Parliament it was not regular to advert either to the correctness or incor rectness of 4ports of speeches, but, their gtneral autien tieity was acknowledged ; and the Commlssioners ton.. etnied that the accontits of proceedings in the Cou t h .01 Justice were equally credible.
