IM PEUIA L PA Ft,' LI E 7":1 THIS DAY, FRIDAY, FEB. 14. HOUSE OF COMMO.vS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. H. HUGHES brought up the report of the Foley and Priori Bridge Committee, and obtained leave to bring in a Bill on the subject. _ Mr. TAYLEURE presented a petition from the town of Bridgewater, for lighting the town with oil gas. Mr. BETHELLmoved the second reading of the Hull and Sculcoates Small Tenements Assessment Bill. Mr. PRYME objected to the second reading of this Bill. The effect of such a measure would be to throw the burden upon the poor and labouring population, and enable the land lords to obtain higher rents. The parish of Sculcoates had been rapidly increasing, as would be seen by the returns for four periods of ten years each, when the numbers were 5,000, 8,000, 10,000, and 13,000. The operation of this must be decidedly injurious to the interests of the poorer classes, and as such he would certainly give it his most strenuous lopposition. If this measure was passed, let it be for the benefit of the country generally, and not for this par ticular parish. He would, therefore, move that the Bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. BETHELL said the question was, whether landlords would have an opportunity of asking higher rests for these Small tenements ? About the year 1824, an Act of Parlia ment had been obtained by the town of Hull, for rat ing small tenements, and the poorer inhabitants passed over the bridge and purchased houses in Sculcoates, here no such rate existed. It was necessary for him to men tion that the parish of Sculcoates was separated from Hull by a draw-bridge, and the consequence of this measure was, that the poorer classes were driven into the town of Sculcoates. The Hon. Member referred to certain returns which he held in his hand, to show that a great increase had taken place in the population of Sculcoates, in consequence of this measure. Mr. STRICKLAND said that he would give this Bill his most cordial support. It was evident that the landlord was in all cases obliged to pay the rate, because if the tenant did not pay it the rent was higher. He conceived that the object `of tilkt present Bill would be to promote the prosperity of the IF` Uish. The argument of the Hon. Member who pre teded him, as to humanity, took quite an opposite course in his (Mr. Strickland's) opinion. He should therefore give his cordial support to the Bill. bet. BROTHERTON said, within the last twenty years, se bent thousand pounds had been. spent in collecting the rates, Son account of the difficulty attending the getting of it from these cottagers. Before the year 1797, the landlords paid the rates ; but now the tenants were made to pay, and not quarterly, as formerly, but weekly. Ihe general impression was, then, that the landlords should be made to pay.—(Hear.) A disso lute cottager, having no goods, would escape, while the hard working man, with a few goods about him, was made to suffer for others as it were. With this knowledge of the evil, he shotild support the Bill. An Hos'. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, wished to draw the attention of the House to the state of things in the East-Riding of Yorkshire. Land was but 4s. per square yard Rlllcoates, while in other parishes of Hull it was 95.; there kbire he could not support the Bill. Another HON. MEMBER thought it better to let good, sub stantial, and large houses be built, which would accommodate several families more comfortably than they could be in small tenements. Mr. LLOYD thought the packing of several families into bne large house, as was the system in Edinburgh, was not cal. lea ated to contribute either to the health or comfort of the poor. The SPEAKER then put the question for the second reae hich passed without a division. Mr. FITZSIMON brought up the Dublin and Kingston Railway Bill, which was read a first and second time. Mr. VIGORS presented a petition from a portion of the Inhabitant householders of the county of Middlesex, praying for the repeal of the house and window tax. Sir R. INGLIS brought up a report, but the Hon. Bart. spoke so low its title was not heard. ' &Vie conversation took place across the table respecting the Mode of endorsing each report and petition, with the name of the Member who was to bring up the same. _ _ The SPEAKER said unless it was a general practice it could be of little service, and unless the House had altered its opinion on the mode of conducting the business since last session it would be unnecessary.—(Hear.) CHURCH PATRONAGE IN SCOTLAND. Mr. MURRAY presented a petition from the Provost, Bai. lies, and Town Council of the borough of Leith, upon the subject of church patronage in Scotland, and praying that it might be done away with. The Act of the union with Scotland had made strong provisions for them iintenance of th eEstablished Church in that country, but in 1712, an Act had been passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which took away the law against patronage, and restored the rights of patrons as they existed previous to the Reformation. This, as might have been expected, had produced great and unceasing con tention, and it was against all the feelings of the people in Scotland. Under these circumstances he thought it right to draw the attention of the House to this petition, as it stated not only the feelings of the town of Leith, but of the whole country, upon the subject of patronage. The petitioners stated that they regarded the law of patronage as not only contrary to Scripture, but, also, as directly contrary to the principles of the Established Church. They stated that the Act of 1649 annulled patronage as unlawful and injurious to religion, but that the law of patronage had been revived in 1712 by an Act which had been surreptitiously obtained, and which was contrary to the rights of the Scotch church and nation, and highly prejudicial to the advancement of religion, and under these circumstances he prayed that the Parlia ment would grant them redress. He (Mr. Murray) had endeavoured to state to the House what were the feelings of the petitioners and of a large portion of the people of Scotland. He was aware that those feelings could not be fully understood in that House, as there was this distinction between the Esta blished Church in both countries, that the Church r f Scotland acknowledged no earthly head, but then it should be recol lected that the act of Union was agreed to on this footing. He hoped that there would be a fair allowance for the feelings of the members of the Presbyterian religion, and however dif ferently some Members of this House might feel, be trusted that they would give this subject a candid, and, he would add, a compassionate consideration. CHINA TRADE. Mr. FENTON presented a petition from the merchants and other inhabitants of the borough of Rochdale, upon the subject of the duties paid by British vessels upon entering the ports of China. He hoped that as this was a subject of complaint amongst the British merchants, some steps would be taken with regard to it in the early part of the present Session, and that the Government would provide for the protection of every British vessel entering the ports of China. Mr. BUCKINGHAM said that he had been requested to support the petition, and in doing so, he could not help re gretting that there were none of his Majesty's Ministers pre sent to give the subject that attention which it so well deserved. During the last Session, the country at large felt very consi. derable anxiety upon the announcement that the trade to China should be free, and Liverpool, Bristol, and other great sea-port towns had made great preparations for entering upon it, and had made a great outlay of capital for that purpo . se. To the astonishment of the public, certain Orders in Council had been issued, which would have the effect of annulling, if not of totally destroying, the prospective benefits which were expected to arise. The British mer chants were excluded by these Orders, whilst the American, Dutch, and other merchants, were still allowed to enter freely. The Orders in Council imposed a duty of 2s. per ton upon every British vessel going in or out, whether laden or in ballast, and 7s. 6d. per ton upon the cargo, so that upon a British ship of 500 tons burden, there would be a duty of 1,0001. A mer. chant of Liverpool wishing to send a cargo out to China, finds an American and an English captain ; he would of course wish to give the preference to his own countryman, but although the English Captain would be content to sail without any pro • fit, the American can not only perform the voyage at a lower sum, but make a profit upon it, the reason being that the Government of this country imposed a heavy tax upon British vessels, which was not borne by those of other coun tries, and if this system were continued, the carrying trade would naturally soon fall into the hands of foreigners. On these grounds he hoped that the Orders in Council would meet with the early and serious attention of his Majesty's Govern ment. The retition was then ordered to lie on the table. REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. FIELDEN presented a petition from Ashton-under. Line, in favour of the repeal of the Legislative Union between England and Ireland. Mr. F. O'CONNOR said he should have recourse to a mea sure which he deemed necessary on the present occasion. A subject of the greatest interest was about to be brought on, and he was accordingly anxious to know whether there was a suffi cient number of Hon. Members present to constitute a House. The House was accordingly counted, and a sufficient number was present. Mr. FIELDEN bore testimony to the respectability of the petition on the subject of the repeal of the union. It was signed by upwards of 4,000 persons. • Mr. F. O'CONNOR was happy in finding that so numerous and reTectably signed a petition had been presented to the House on a'subject of such interest to Ireland as that of the repeal of the union. He was glad to find that the petitioners ascribed the vices of the Irish to their proper source—namely, the misrule and mismanagement of the affairs of Ireland; and that such vices were not characteristic of Irishmen. The petition was well worded, and the proper remedies pointed out for the cure of the grievances and evils of Ireland. The great expense of Irish Government made very little return, in comparison with all the evils it entails on a people bending under the weight of poverty. Notwithstanding the insolent denunciations and ar rogance of his Majesty's Ministers, and their saying they would resist it to the death, yet it was a question which was progres. sing fast in England and Ireland ; and the impression regarding it had been confirmed by the conduct of Ministers, during last year, during the recess, and this session also. Last year was marked by an act of the grossest injustice, and this was com menced by insolence and intolerance ; aye, notwithstanding the promises of a reformed Parliament, and the sayings of the Whigs, that it would be better that Ireland should be in the same union with England, as Sweden with Denmark, &c., though this was their language in 1824, they seemed to act differently now. and withheld the only measure that could be necessary to insure, the Rermanent . security .of both _ countries. Was it to be endured that in a country overflowing with plenty, four. fifths of the population should be in a state of starvation ? If, the country were prt4lerly managed, notwithstanding the over grown population it was alleged to contain, it would be more than sufficient for the maintenance of double the number, and there would be no petitions day after day brought up to this House, to send vagrants and vagabonds to starve in their own country. It was vain to endeavour to stop the anxiety which was daily , growing in the minds of the people on this question in Ireland. He (Mr. O'Connor) would not go into the details of this ques tion now—(Hear, hear)—but he found it his duty to express his coincidence with the petition presented by the Hon. Mem ber, and to assure that House that it was the only measure which could redress Ireland's wants ; and it was vain to make any endeavour to smother it. He (Mr. O'Connor) had a pecu : liar interest in this question—though he had other claims on the suffirages of his constituents—yet he stood there the avowedly pledged advocate of this great measure—(Hear, from the opposition)—and as he was so he thought it his duty to ascertain whether the people understood the principle of the question, or whether it was merely a clap-trap, and lie could say that, after taking the sense of his constituents, seven out of ten were not only able to give an opinion on its merits, but were inflexibly determined to persevere in theie exertions to obtain it.—(Hear, hear.) Men well knew what it was to toil from morning till night, and yet be starving; also, what it was to labour for twelve hours, and have nothing to sleep on at night but a sop of straw, and nothing to eat but a dry meal of potatoes. Hon. Members would deceive both themselves and the people if they thought that they could suppress the question, the success of which could alone alleviate such dis tress and destitution. He would look to nothing else but the essential justice of the question for its success ; and though it might be imagined that the Member for Dublin was the sole ad vocate or promoter of this question, though any question that was deprived of his unequalled talents suffered much from such loss, yet he was not the only advocate for it. He regretted that the Right Hon. the Secretary for the Trea sury was not in the House. He who was the great champion of the opposition of repeal, but who now left the question, and dared not come down to the House to argue it without being backed by the Treasury Members. But what did that Right Hon. Gentleman know of Ireland ?—(Hear, hear.) Let him take the manufacturers, and the people who are engaged in trade in Ireland, and he would find that the repeal of the Union was insisted on. He could tell the House that Ireland free was the right arm of England, but Ireland shackled was a drag-chain to England. He begged pardon of the House for troubling them so long. Mr. M`LEOD said he rose to enter his protest against the repeal of the Union being considered solely an Irish question —(Hear, hear) ;—it was a great Imperial question. He also deprecated the hard language that had been used against his Majesty's Ministers, who were not present to defend themselves. —(Hear.) For himself, he could not perceive that the repeal I of the union would produce all those beneficial results which were anticipated by the petitioners. The Hon. Member who presented the petition had himself said he could not tell whether the repeal would be right or wrong to concede, and therefore it did not appear that it was making any very great progress. He begged pardon for troubling the House, having merely risen to protest against the question being considered only an Irish one. Mr. COBBETT said, that he, like his Hon. Colleague last session, did not know whether the Repeal of the Union would be productive of good or evil ; but, since then, he had seen the question so much agitated, and he had seen his Majesty's Ministers so angry upon the subject, that he began to suspect the repeal would be a good thing. He had attended with the greatest care and attention to all the arguments both for and against the question, and he was now of opinion that a repeal of the Legislative Union would be a good thing for England and Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) A sort of reproach seemed to be heaped on those who advocated the repeal, as if there was something monstrous and dangerous in the cry ; but they all knew that separation did exist only 34 years ago— (Hear, hear) ;—they all knew also by what means the Union was effected, and that it was by more bribery and corruption than existed even under the present Government. England was even now paying compensation for that measure, and taxes were now being levied on the people of England to pay the cost of that bribery and corruption. Bribes were then given not only instanter, but in futurity, and were allowed to descend from father to son.—(Hear, hear.) Well then, what was the real question ? Why it was simply this—whether the Union existed for good or evil—whether it produced good or evil to their constituents. He was satis fied that the Repeal of the Union would produce good.—(Hear, hear, and Cheers from the Irish Repeal Members.) He was sure of one thing—that, let them do what they liked, they could not, by any means, produce more evil than the Union had done. What had it produced ?—were not the people always in a state of half rebellion ? Were not 30,000 troops, with a large force of Bourbon police, kept up in order to keep them in something like peace ?—all of which put the country to an enormous expense. Were not the people of Ireland in a starving condition, while it was perfectly well known that that country imported into England three times more corn than any other country, or indeed all other countries put together. The people were all starving, and yet he was told that in the month of Jure, 1831, 1,000 hogs passed through one turnpike in Berkshire, every one of which came from Ireland. The half of Lancashire, and the half of the West Riding of Yorkshire, were fed from Ireland. Then that must be a good country, and the people must be an indus trious people, or how could all that be done ? yet they required all the force to which he had before alluded to keep them in order. It must be a bad governme•at that Ireland had when such scenes were seen, and when this country's labour was taxed to such an enormous extent to keep down such an industrious people as the statement he had made proved them to be. Then, he would ask, why not discuss the question of the repeal of the Legislative Union ?—at least why should the Ministers advise his Majesty, much, he was sure, against his Majesty's feelings, to scold his Irish subjects ? On a former oc casion he had said that he remembered the time when the question of reform was treated in the same way as the Mini stry now did that of repeal. He well remembered the time when a reformer, a late Member of that House, had thought it prudent to go across the sea, in order to escape from Sidmouth's dungeons, and yet that man had lived to see a Ministry,who called themselves a reform Ministry, and a Parliament who every day almost boasted that they were a reformed Parliament. So it would yet be with the question of repeal, if the Ministry pursued their present course, and refused any discussion on the matter. He was sorry to have detained the House so long, but he could not let the opportunity pass without letting them a little into his views upon the question. Colonel WILLIAMS, although he fully admitted the state ments that had been made by the Hon. Member for Oldham, as to the deplorable state of Ireland, could by no means agree with him that the Repeal of the Union would produce an amended state of things in that country. Notwithstanding the great talents of that Hon. Member, he (Col. W.) thought that all his arguments in favour of a repeal of the Union might easily be combatted with and overthrown. He recollected perfectly well the period when the Union took place ; he thought Mr. Pitt was pursuing the wrong course, and thought that instead of any Union taking place, his proper course would havebeen to have reformed the Irish Parliament; but the Union having taken place, he doubted very much whether any good could be effected by its repeal. Mr. FINN congratulated the repealers and the people of Ire land at large on the speech that had proceeded from the Noble Member opposite (Mr. Macleod), as it had called forth one from the Hon. Member for Oldham, for which the people of Ireland were greatly indebted.—(Hear.) What he had stated with re. spect to the people of Ireland was perfectly true. The state ment that the Reformers had been denounced by the Whigs was equally so, for 14r. Canning himself had called them a low and degraded crew.—(Hear.) He (Mr. F.) was convinced that the Repeal of the Union was a measure founded in justice, would be advantageous to both this country and Ireland, and was the only means of producing contentment, peace, and order in Ireland, andgiving security to this country. Mr. POTTER should have thought the vote of last night would have convinced the Irish Members of the determina tion of the House to do justice to Ireland. He understood that the present Secretary for Ireland, in the discharge of his duties connected with that country, gave the greatest and most perfect satisfaction.—(Cries of" No, no," and " Hear.") — The Hon. Member for Odham had spoken of the great quantity of cattle sent from Ireland to this country; that in his opinion showed that Ireland was a great producing country. There was no doubt that the money from its pro duce was spent in England, but he (Mr, P.) was quite con vinced, if time was only given, the House would do justice to Ireland by instituting either an absentee-tax or a modified system of poor laws.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HARDY said he did not mean to put a stop to the present discussion, but he did hope that the time of this House would not be lost by by-battles upon a question which must come in a more solemn shape before the House, and receive that consideration which its great importance demanded. He was sorry that such lengthened discussions should take place upon the mere presentation of a Ise_ tition. He (Mr. Hardy) could get up hundreds of such petitions, in different parts of England. In the county of Lancaster, thousands upon thousands of sig natures could be attached to such petitions, and, he might add, in all the large towns of the north of England. It was upon the ground that such a measure as the present would relieve them from the great influx of Irish labourers, and not because it would have the effect of effecting a dissolution of the Union between this country and Ireland.. What many of the persons who signed petitions like thepresent were told and believed was that if they only could obtain a repeal of the Le. gislative Union, it would be in their power to send back all the competitors in the field of labour who had already so much re duced the wages of the manufacturing and agricultural popu lation.—(Hear, hear.) This was the argument that had been held forth to the people, and he doubted not that many petitions like the present could be obtained in every large manufacturing town in England.—(Hear, hear, hear.) In the town of Leeds there were not less than. 8,000 resident Irish — in Lancaster there were considerably more, in Barnsley many thousands, and when this impression had been made upon that class which were now fashionably called " the operatives," when it was conveyed to them that such a measure as that con templated by the present petition, would prevent the influx of Irish labourers by which their wages had been considerably lowered, it would not be very difficult to procure thousands of signatures to such petitions.—(Hear, hear.) When they imagined that the advocates of this question were presenting to them a measure which would have the effect of sending back to their own country the labourers and operatives, whether Scotch, Irish, or Welsh, by whom their profits had been so much reduced, although it had attached to it so important a matter as the dissolution of the legislative union between that country and Ireland, it would be easy to procure signatures for it. Whenever that question came before the House, he (Mr. Hardy) would listen to the arguments brought forward in favour of it with the greatest attention, and give it all the consideration in his power. At the same time, he could not see how the dissolution of the Union could have the effect of producing all that prosperity which some Mem bers of that House anticipated. He did not conceive that there was in the present Parliament any indisposition to lessen the just complaints of the Irish people, or adopt what ever measures might conduce to their prosperity. He did not think that a resident Parliament could have the magic effect which some persons anticipated from it. A resident Parliament would not in every case have the effect of bettering the condition of the nation at large. They had a lamentable in. stance of the truth of that position in the starving condition of the people of this country, and how could it be said that it would do that in Ireland which it had failed to do in the coun try where it at present existed ? He did not think that discus. sion like thepresent should take place on the presentation of every petition—he thought they should have many more of the same kind.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped the question would be dis cussed upon its broad merits, as it regarded the mutual and general Interests of the two countries, and he (Mr. Hardy) for one, hoped to see them always united.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped they would continue, a united, a free, and a happy people. He hoped the time would come when such measures would be adopted to promote the prosperity of the United Kingdom, that there would be no occasion to find fault with the manner in which either one country or the other was governed. He did not wish to see the interests of one country advocated in preference to another; the interests of England, Ireland, and Scotland were one and the same, and he hoped the real happi ness of the nation would be effected by the united efforts of all her people. Mr. RUTHVEN said he could not enter into the sentiment expressed by the Hon. Gentleman, who pretended to deplore, in so piteous a manner, the waste of the time of the House in re ceiving Irish petitions.—(Cries of " No, no.") It would be unjust and hypocritical in Irish Members i f they did not take up the time of the House on this great and important question. Many op. portunities would arise, and he trusted would be taken advan tage of, to discuss that question, for it was only by per. severance in so great an object as the repeal of the Union that they could hope to succeed. They had great prejudices and party feelings, and the power of Ministers, and men who would be glad to be in their office, to contend with ; and they found that even the Royal name was abused, for the purpose of denouncing that object, and pointing them out as subjects only to be treated with "just indignation."—(Hear.) He was glad to hear that expression, for he knew both its use and its absurdity; for while on the one hind it did not deter those who had began, it had made ten new Repealers where only one existed before. It had made the friends of Ireland, find. ing that she was not protected in Royal speeches, stand up in her favour. Such expressions only tended to agitate both the people of England and Ireland, until they would by constitu tional means defeat those who seemed disposed to drive them into rebellion. Indeed they were not to be diverted from their course until they obtained the freedom of Ireland. It should be remembered that the people of Ireland are eight millions ; they ought to have a Legislature of their own. Bad as the Irish Parliament was, it had not been improved by being transplanted to an English soil. The Irish Parliament, at the period of 178 0 , had an illustrious leader, who made England succumb to them; and England would be obliged again to succumb to Ireland. England dared not to go to war at present with eight millions of dis. contented subjects. (Hear, hear, hear.) Was he to be told, then, that it was wasting the time of the House to receive the petitions of the Irish people? Let them send the Irish Members home to their own country, where they could do a great deal of good which they could not do here. The denounce. ment of the repeal of the Union had led to deep thought; but they were told that to petition was a crime in the eyes of the Ministers, and a species of agitation to be put down by the name of the King and a Ministerial mandate.—(Hear, hear.) Was it agitation to ask what they deemed to be their right, or to excite the people to do so ? It might be called so, but he would be one to advise the people to petition, and to continue to petition for that repeal, and the granting of their petition would be the best act of the Legislature. Ministerial mandates, Royal speeches, and proclamations, might be sent forth ad infinitum, until the well paid printers grew tired of them, and they would have no effect except that of exciting the people to petition for their rights. He, with other Irish Members deplored the practice of absenteeism ; but the cause of the mischief was, that they were under a species of foreign policy. The Irish Members were in this country as foreigners, and treated as foreigners, and though they stood up to do their duty, they found they were prevented from doing so to a great extent He thought it was unnecessary for him to make any apology for thus attempting to support the rights of the Irish people, and the repeal of the Legislative Union.—(Hear, hear.) An HoN. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, said that he could not suffer this opportunity to pass, knowing the great influence of the statements of the Hon. Member for Old ham, without saying a few words upon those statements. He certainly did not agree in the statements expressed by the Hon. Member for Oldham. They were told that they ought to oppose any measure that was introduced by the Government, whatever that Government might be. In an unreformed Parlia ment there might be a predisposition aganst any administration, but the Members of a reformed Parliament might support a measure although introduced by the Government, if upon its merits it deserved support. The second ground of the Hon. Member's argument in support of repeal was the immense im port of agricultural produce into this country, which the Hon. Member stated to be one of the evils of the Union, and that this produce would be consumed in Ireland if the Union were repealed. If the Hon. Member could show that this would be the result, the question would be upon a different footing, but it was well known that the imports from Ireland were weighing down the markets of this country, yet. the Eng lish people did not grudge this. He did not think that a Repeal of the Union would bring more capital into Ireland, or would in any way benefit that country. He should be sorry if any thing illusive upon this subject were suffered to go forth to the coun. try. He would not then enter upon the merits of the question, but when the time came he would be ready fairly to investigate the subject. ' Lord W. LENNOX Oki not like the expression of foreign Parliament. He could assure Hon. Members for Ireland that English Members sympathized with them in every thing that called for their good feeling.—(Hear, hear.) He was open to conviction on the topic of repeal; he did make up his mind on it, but even the Member for Oldham, who possessed twice his (Lord Lennox's) experience, and ten times his talent, acknowledged, that till last year he hat not been satisfied of the necessity of the measure. Therefore he was excusable—(Hear) —and though at present he did not believe that benefit would result from the carrying on of such a measure, yet his mind was not finally determined.—(Hear, hear, hear.) If the Irish Members could convince the English of the policy of this measure, no doubt they would support it. He heard with some degree of pain the expression of time being wasted, as used by the Hon. Member for Bradford; to be sure a great deal of Irish business was done in the House, and much atten. tion should be given to the affairs of a country which had been trampled on for years. The Hoiv. MEMBER for Bradford explained. The House adjourned at twenty minutes past two o'clock. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. The only arrival this morning of any interest is the express from Paris, and that is of a very meagre description. The French papers are chiefly occupied with internal politics, and relate very little information from Spain. A report prevailed that a Carlist conspiracy had been detected at Bilboa, and that the Queen's troops had obtained some advantages at Verona. French funds 76f. sc. ; Spanish 25. Montreal papers to Jan. 17, Quebec to Jan. 14, and Ma dras to Sept. 15, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Montreal Papers.) Two important despatches have been transmitted to the as sembly by his Excellency the Governor, in relation to the Supply Bill of last session, and to the vacancy in the representation of th e province, occasioned by the expulsion of Mr. Mendelet from his seat. Both documents are firmly and decidedly expressed, and augur well of the tone we may expect to be observed by the Colonial-office. On the 6th inst. Secretary Rowan brought down a message from his Excellency the Governor, concerning the views of the Lords of the Treasury on the charters of the Banks of Upper Canada. The message was referred to a Select Committee. The Quebec Papers inform us, by accounts from New Bruns wick, that the papers complain of the system pursued by Go vernment in disposing of Crown lands. The old timber heaths, long held by the citizens of New Brunswick, have been recently sold to Americans, and 80,000 acres have been bought by Boston capitalists. The Madras Papers are of old dates. On the 28th ult., the Queen of Spain reviewed the garrison of Madrid, which consisted of between 6,000 and 7,000 men. _ Marshal Bourmont, with several other officers, have arrived at Malta. This day being the most important and heavy settling day in the Foreign Market we have had for a length of time, parti cularly in Spanish and Portuguese Bonds, which the speculators in those Securities are very anxiously waiting the result of, and no doubt by this time many who have large diffe rences to receive are trembling, the brokers and jobbers are occupied in settling their differences in Spanish. The extreme fluctuation has been, during the Account, about 9 per cent., and in Portuguese about 10 per cent. In this market it is not like the Consol settlement—the whole of the Account is settled in one day ; consequently it will be ascer tained in the afternoon how the settlement has gone off. Consols opened at 89% ;at present they are 89 %, little doing; Spanish, 30 to IA ; Portuguese, 69 %. HALF-PAST ONE. We have no fresh arrivals to the present hour, neither poli tical news nor reports. The chief attention in the City, this morning, relates to the settlement of the two heavy accounts in the Foreign Market, Spanish and Portuguese Stocks, and it is astonishing to state that up to the present hour we do not hear of any failures. It seems that at the opening of the Foreign Market the brokers and jobbers came at that early hour, prepared with their accounts made up, and at the same time with the checks for the differences. It also appears that money is easy, and they can change accounts in the Foreign Market at the rate of five per cent. The Consol Market has improved to 89} for the Account. In the Foreign Market Spanish, 30f ; Portuguese; 691 6 ; little doing in any other Foreign Securities. We have not yet heard of the arrival of the Dutch Mail. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 89i. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1834. We understand that the Committee of Pri vileges, in the case of Mr. SEEM, have termi nated their labours, and will this afternoon re port to the House. The result is, that it. Tr. HILL, finding he could not ['ring home his charges, abandoned the case, and has at once done that justice to I`.lr. SHEET, vt , hich one honourable gen►lemman is bound to make to a►►other. The whole affair has been rather a ticklish, one, possessing no small share of the non nzi ricordo, or indiscreet mixing np of private lapses of speech with public character, and founding upon their apparent inconsistency the real semblance of pfiblic responsibility. As it is, we are heartily glad, on account of public busi ness, that the matter has been got rid of; and we can only add that, for the sake of all parties con cerned, it were better it ha►l never been agitated —seeing that it now turns out to be " Much Ado about Nothing." Pursuant to notice, Mr. O'CONNELL last night brought forward his motion for the ap pointment of a Committee to inquire into the conduct of Mr. Baron SMITH, one of his Majesty's Judges of the Exchequer in Ireland. In doing so, the Hon. and Learned Gentle man observed that the motion was one that de manded the most serious attention of the House, for by it, would be decided the question whe ther Judges should confine themselves to the temperate and impartial administration of jus tice, or enter the arena of politics, and become zealous, hot-headed partisans. The charges which he had to bring forward against Mr. Baron SMITH were ; first, that he seldom 'or never entered his Court but at such late hours as impeded the course of justice ; secondly, that in his charges to Grand Juries, he was in the habit of introducing the most extraneous poli tical themes. Now the first of these charges, if proved to occasion any serious public inconvenience, de mands inquiry—for what right has a Judge, paid by the people for their own express benefit, to make such benefit subsidiary to his own personal accommodation ?—but the two com bined, are irresistible in their claims to the notice of the House of Commons. It is one of the first, the most vital, the most distinctly recognised principles of the Constitution, that a Judge, when on the Bench, should he untainted by political prejudices. He should be wholly devoted to the discharge of his professional duties. He should be blind to the feuds, deaf' to the clamour, of all parties. Should he fail in being so, nothing can be clearer than that he has laid himself open to the most inquisitorial Parliamentary inquiry. No one, we think, can deny, that Baron SMITH is just now in this painful dilemma. He has doffed the Judge's ermine, and put on, instead, the motley robes of the political par 7 tisan. And this not in his character of citizen, but as the august representative of justice We see no special pleading that can get over this plain fact. It is little short of madness even to attempt an extenuation. It is said of the Learned Judge, that, on one particular occasion, when the state of the country demanded 110 such zealous exhortations ; when the calendar was light, and party-spirit all but in a dormant state ; he fulminated from the Bench a charge marked by singular political ,prejudices, r eplying to Parliamentary sp eec h es , rev i v i ng re ligious'feuds, discussing, in fact, every thing but t h e o ne pressing matter on hand. Truly has it been observed that eloquence, except when tempered by discretion, is one of the greatest curses that can be inflicted on a man. Mr. Baron SMITH'S case verifies this adage. His notorious cacoethes loquendi has sunk him, chin deep, in difficulties. His love of point, meta phor, and antithesis, have been so many Will o-the-whisps to lead him astray. What a pity that so eminent an individual should sacrifice himself to a well-turned sentence ! According to Mr. O'CONNELL'S account, the Learned Judge told the Grand Jury, in the charge to which we have been alluding, that " the Constitution was extinguished—that the law and the Constitution were tottering to their base--that they were to be propped up by the Judges of the land !" Now, can any one, after this, hesitate an instant about the necessity of inquiry ? Here we find a veteran and experienced Judge, not only travelling out of the line of his duty—not only disturbing his hearers' minds, by expatiating on irrelevant themes—but actually usurping the office of Government, and insisting that the Constitution can only he saved by being intrusted to the hands of himself and his judicial brethren ! Is language like this to be endured ? Impos sible ! It strikes at the very root of all per sonal and political freedom. Besides, think of the precedent it would establish, if once per mitted to be passed by in silence ! Our Judges —never at any time remarkable for their exceeding discretion, as Lord WY NFORD (BEST), and, more lately, Mr. Justice ALDERSON have shown in their occasional charges to Grand Juries—would at once, justifying themselves by the example of Baron SMITH, mix themselves with all the po litical questions of the day; foment a thousand evil passions;—and instead of being the admi nistrators of justice ; the allies of mercy ; the heralds of peace and goon-will ;—become red-hot partisans—leaders of factions—abettors of in justice and uncharitableness ! If there he one constitutional principle more than another, which it is necessary strictly to define, and jealously to walcli over, it is the impartiality of the Judicial Bench. - Lose this, and all is lost. It is the great tie that binds society together—that preserves the system in ail its harmony and completeness. We are far from meaning to speak irreverently of Baron SMITH by these remarks. We acknowledge his learning ; we respect his skill and experience; but we cannot be blind to his indiscretion, nor in our admiration of the man, overlook the great principle which his case involves. An inquiry, we contend, is absolutely necessary; first, for the sake of the Learned Baron him self; secondly, for the furtherance of public jus tice. Mr. STANLEY put the question oft i s pro Fer footing last night, when he stated that " those who assented to the proposition of the mover, did not at all admit that a case for re moval had been made out ; on the cAttrary, all they acknowledged was, that a case for inquiry had been laid before the House." After a pro tracted, but animated discussion, the motion for a Committee. was carried by a major►ty of 167 to 74. In the House of Lords, last night, the Fac tories' Regulation Act Amendmea Bill was brought up from the Commons, ant, read a firs time: In the Lower house, Bills for the disfran chisement of Warwick and Liverpool were brought in and read a first time. _^.lter some desultory discussion on unimportant matters, the House adjourned at one o'clock. The Army Estimates for 1834-5 have been printed, and the result, as compared with last year, is a reduction in the number of horses of 348, of officers 3, of men 8,148, with a saving of 194,9311. 10s. ld., exclusive of India.

SUARPE. The Court proceeded with the further arguments in this case. VICE.CHANCERY COURT.-(TIIIS DAV His Honour, the VICE-CHANCELLOR, gavel GIBLET V. uoBsoN—JUDGME NT. in this case, the facts of which we stated at the time the cause was argued. The question involved was as to the validity o gift to the Butchers' Company of 5,000/. by a gentleman nanle4t. Greaves, for the mirpose of building certain almshouses. f the time the legacy was given a gentleman of the nam e 0 , Kempt had volunteered to furnish the land, but he had 10 perfected that gift by deed. Subsequently, hoWever' the gift was made complete, but the executor; of Mr. Greaves refused to pay the legacy, alleging that there being no land actually vested in the Company at the time of the gift, the legacy was void. The Butchers' Company therefore filed the preile.it bill for the purpose of enforcing paynien t. His Honour went elaborately through the facts of the cas e ' in the course of which he cited many authorities on the so l'' ject, and concluded by observing, that although as a marl " could entertain no doubt what the intentions of D ir " udgMent to.dal Greaves were, yet as a Judge, he was bound to decide the, case as the law at present stood, and according to t 11 3,. law he was of opinion that the legacy could not be sustaineo He should therefore dismiss the bill, but considering that the question in dispute was one so fit to be brought before th e Court he would dismiss it without costs.
