Many can make a voyage during the same period of time as they would often be compelled to wait for ingress or egress. Great quantities of foreign goods are brought round from the out -ports by coasters, and are bonded in the-London Docks, as most of the put-ports afraid scarcely arty markets for transit goods. The total tonnage. of merchant ships cleared out ward in Great Britain in 1823 was - - 3,182,776 2,610,787 In 1324 - - . - - - Exhibiting an in c re ase i n 18 24 o f 571,989 tons.

A want of additional proper convenient accommodation, for wines and spiiits in the London Docks, is admitted by the Company. On the sth January, 1825, the quantity 64 was - . • - _834 Casks. Imported since, to 30th M arc h • 11,394 Total 76,0711. Casks, and 3457 Cases. from Which, however, the delivery since January is to be de. ducted. Whereas the extent of proper accommodation for such articles in those Docks is admitted to be only 45,000 pipes, or froth 55 to 60.000 casks. On the 30th Mareh, there were 9667 casks, .and 27f11 cases of wines and spirits, for which no suit able accommodation could be found, of which 5206 casks were strewed upon the quays, exposed to all the injUries of the wea ther and it is obvious that the ruction of duties willincrease the importation - of every species of merchandize, and the owners require.additional. convenient bonding still taking cre dit for the duties. Whenthe East India Dock inoriopoly expires, which it will do in 1827, all the, private trade lntliamen will require Wet Dock. accommodation near to the Custom House, so as to avoid the enormous expence of the land carriage of their cargoes from . Inackwall to the seat of busine , s. The London Dock is the only place a here all kinds of mer chandize can be bonded within 31 miles of London-bridge, and trout its proximity of situation, upon the expiration of its ex clusive privileges in Jan. next (unless new Docks are construct-, (d near to the seat of business) enjoy a virtual monopoly. 'This' is proved .by the fact, that the rates in the London Docks are, up.in most goods . , from 70 toithl, and in one instance ; 350 per ceit. higher than in the West India Docks.„and still the mer chants, from the inconvenient-distance of the tatter, arc obliged to lodge their goods, in the London Docks notwithstanding such a.) exorbitant ditrerence in rates. Shortly after the measure of a Iditional Wet Dock accommodation at St. Katharine's was a ..t,itated,.the London Dock Company, from the fear of such a c competition, and as a temporary expedient to defeat the mea sure, lowered the rates. upon certain articles, from 30 to 40 per cent., without, however, affecting the dividends to the proprie tors, and it is believed, that improved nianagement would afford the means of further reduction to the public, without diminish ing the advantages to the proprietors. The only prospect the public has fora permanent enjoyment of such benefits, is through means of competition, which can alone be . estnhlished by additional Wet Docks near the seat of bwiness ; none can ever exist between the London Docks and West India or other Docks, situated at so great a distance from the Custom-house;—unless, therefore, the St. Katharine Dock Bill shall pass, the London Dock- Company will have'no in ducement to continue the present reduction, but, on the con trary, possessing the means., may raise them to the former ex orbitant standard ; in which case the merehent would be com pelled to pay whatever is demanded, as no choice of places for bonding would exist. , The . Oppositition offered by some of the Suffrage Wbar fingers, on the south Aide of the River Thames, is singular. None is made to the measure by those whose wharfs are si tuated on the same side of the River with the proposed St. Ka tha ine Docks, it being a prevalent opinion founded upon ex perience, that in proportion as the charges of the port are lowered and additional facilities to trade afforded. London will, in course of time, be the Emporitim of the world, and thus yield to those establishments a reasonable share of the advantages such an important measure is calculated to pro duce. The wharfs in Southwark all ebb dry, neither do they possess_the means of accommodation for bonding required by law.. They are most InConveniently situated for' the general trade of the city of London, and from certain insufficiencies, are not permitted to bond wines, tobacco, coffee, rice, pepper, colonial goods, Ea s t I n di a goo d s, prohibited goods, &c. But what isnot less singular is, that a Bill for constructing a Wet Dock, similar to the proposed St. Katharine's Docks, on the south side of the River, close to the wharfs of the opponents of the Bill, has passed through its several. stages in the House of Commons without a single division, and was read a first time in the House of Lords on ThUrsday last. The merchants and tra lets of the Borough of Southwark agree, although the whar fine•ers in question do not, that additional Wet Docks are waeted ; hut why should such improvement be locally con fined to the south side of the river ; and the good citizens of London compelled to seek it across the Thames, and out of the city ; surely they ought to be permitted to obtain it equally at their own doors. . By Parliament giving its sanction to the Rill for constructing the St. Katherine's Docks, the edvantage of free and open com petition, and-a permanent reduction of rates and charges upon commerce and navigation in the Port of London, will be secur ed to the public. The Bill.pravidem, that the St. Katherine Doak Company shall not take.or- receive any rates or sum exceeding such rea sonable rates or sum then usually paid in the Port of London.

The - King, struck; with the account, agreed to treat with them as an independent.state, and put an end to the war, Lord KING admitted that the petition was respectably aighefl end had been adopted at a public meeting where the subject had been fairly discussed,. and the opposition, though not very nu merous, had been distinguished by the good sense of their speeches. It was a remarkable thing that in such large Dio ceses as York, Canterbury, Winchester and Durham, there were but few petitions against the Catholics,, they . only abounded in the small Dioceses such as Leicester, Devon, Cornwall and Sussex, which were possessed by Bishops; in trausitp. Ile preferred those venerable fixtures of the House, to those pieces of furniture which were constantly changing their places. Lord KENYON could not hesitate one moment to say, that what had fallen from the Noble Lord respecting certain Right Rev. Prelates, was nothing less than downright calumny- Lord KING replied, that if. the Noble. Lord .meant to say that what he had advanced respecting the number of petitions coming from small Dioceses was not the fact, he. positively gave him the denial. As to the inference to be drawn from that fact, the Noble Lord might say that it was or was not a calUmny, he (Lord King) perfectly. despised it. Let the question be tried by the.number of petitions presented to their Lordships. Lord KENYON did not deny the fact mentioned by the Noble Lord, but -.repeated that the motives which he attributed to the Bishops were a downright calumny. • The Bishop of EXETER said, that his Diticese was one of the largest, and at the same time one of those which had sent most petitions against the Catholic Claims. He declared, however, that he had never used any influence to procure pe titions. They. had come voluntarily from the Clergy and the people, in consequence chiefly of what the Noble Lord had said in the. House, and lest they_ should be thought favourable to the measure in progress. He denied for himself .and his brethern, the charge .of the Noble Lord, and he believed that t agrea ai ttnioiale claim ityor s. the country was hostile to the concession of he c Lord KING meant to apply his observation to the• Revenues and not to the extent of. dioceses. It was from those with small revenues that most petitions were sent. This almost re, conciled him to one of the practices of the Roman Church which allowed of no translation. - The LORD CHANCELLOR could take upon himself to say that their Lordships owed the: great number of Petitions before them to the speeches of the Noble Lord in the House ; for the People and the Clergy did not like to be held out as in different to the Protestant Religion. His advice was to let the . Noble Lord goon ; for if he spoke from day to day there would be twice as many petitions upon the table before next Tuesday than there would otherwise have been. After a few observations from the Bishop of HERTFORD .and Lord Rotti, which were inaudible below the Bar, Lord HOLLAND could not refrain from observing on the assertion of a Right Rev. Prelate, that a great majority of the country was host& to a measure which the Commons of Eng land twice brotight . to their Lordships' Bar, to, ask their concur rence in its enactment. Thii gave hini a new insight into the Constitution. When Reformers preached their coctiines, he had been told, and !Jihad acquiesced in the opinion," there is a national Representation, the House of Conmions speaks the sense of the country, and public meetings display the popular . meeting. But it seems that he had laboured under an error.— The Commons, it now appeared, were not the strict and only organ of the Country : they were the mere olietichy which they had been represented to be ,by Reformers. However one mean of making public opinion known still remained, he was glad to find: It lay in. Archdeaconries, in the Right Reverend Bench opposite, and the Noble and Learned Lord an theWool sack. The Noble and Learned Lord had now become the tri bune of the people.. It might 'have been expected, that he would have.looked to the right or to the left sides of the House, . 'or behind him, but who would have thoUght of his looking to the Bar and Palace-yard, and to the people as those whom he wished to provoke to the discussion of this great measure ? Ile (Lord fl.) was still enough of a Reformer, though deeMed lukewarm one, to believe that the vote of the House of COrn mom' was the vote of the, people; and after a Bill had been twice passed by that House, how was it possible for any.indi stmcßvtihaoieloetteleolilyrrui,seeNe.fiaclepeltl:iiioceosaolnstand up in his place And to say that the majority of the country was hostile to a measure in which one-third of the l Prelate, raetn,scßrowiovel nbrainterested,ihytireceachsrteliinnweo correspondence tigtataes n ttti( d y lohloneiit which ?e : irprlesa6s, had.deltaeiiinst offenceeutit b e s e n received s.ifsstpeoe renhowituttaiietn t etsdi l c rodl i enbp, uyaiutio t dhob i t iiist i ce uoterrotyl was o l kgh bac:o: looked sett f t speak of the United Kingdom, let th ti e ovt n i neat r w ig ran t i pt t lare t il ention be.paid to the i w h i e sl n es os e t f v t il h l a n t er plt b r l t e, wi a li n e d h T. a • n e i e v d en t o t O o u ourselves; ves; feelings itw of as the people would be most ihingerous to the Conititution of the Country and the prosperity of the Empire. The Petition was then laid upon the table, as well, as one to the same effect also presented by the Ar c hbishOp of Vonx, from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry .of Cleveland, in the county of York.

I PETITIONS IN FAVOUR OF THE CATHOLICS. • The Marquis of LANSDOWN heltLa Petition in favour of the Catholic Relief Bill. He did not know whether Noble Lords would consider it as evidence of . the asserted unanimity against Catholic Emancipation. He, for one, _ regarded it as a proof of the existence of a strong feeling in its favour in one of the largest parishes of this metropolis. It had been adopted in consequence of one having been privately signed in the same parish against the Bill; and he had the satisfaction to state that it was subscribed by the Rector and by two hundred of the principal. inhabitants, chiefly householders; •who had an nexed.their respective addresses. It was from the Parish of St. Luke's.—Laid on the table. Lord COLCHESTER was understood to say that he had pre sented one from the same Parish, signed by - 500 individuals, against the Bill. • The Marquis of LANSDOWN then, preiented s petitions in favour of the Bill, from the town. of Bridport, Signed by the Most wealthy inhabitants,. and a majority of the Corporation. From the town of Kimpton, and from the Protestant Dissenters of the town of Chichester. Not one of those petitions would have been presented, had not some been set on foot against the measure which the present petitioners thought ought to pass.— Laid on the table. Petitions to the same effect were then presented : By Lord H OLLAND — From the Protestant Dissenters in and near the town of Stroud, in the county of Gloucester. From the Protestant inhabitants. of the town and vicinity of New cross, and from the Elders and Members of the Presbyterian Com munion in the counties of Down and Antrim. . .

Mr. HUME wished to know. why the JudgeS.in India should not be rendered altogether independent? Mr. C. WYNN—The Judges in India were placed in 'th e same situation, as they had hitherto been.since the, year.l774,' the mode of appointment remains the Same., The.Judges_4n India were not appointed for life in consequence of the arrange- . ments rnade with the Company here, at the different periods of the renewal of their Charter. The only alteration made au thq. salaries of the Judges was, that those of MsdraS. and Bornbat', should be paid in the currency of India and not in that •(4.' England. ' •• - . • Mr. IITJAIE wished to knOw why it was, that the judges . ia India shoUld be removed at pleasure? It Was inown that 0 0 - vernors could transport Juries, as they , had often done beftni, if they gave a verdict contrary to the wishes : of suchfiovernOrs. This should be ,prevented, and if Judges were only appointed et pleasure, the people could have no secvaity. He wished. that no Judge should be removed in this summary and improper manner. Mr. C. WYNN thaught that the lion. Alernhe;cqnla not have read the Pill, or he would not have made t4ose,ebvrv.d tions. They could only apply . ,to the Judge . Edward's Island, way only appointed, duiipg the pleasure of kis Majesty. Mr. IIIJME.—But even in civil cases in.
