EVENING EDITION. and sailors for the maintenance of any members of the pensioner's family in the workhouse. He ob jected to treating an old warrior who had shed his blood in the service of his country in this manner. He l - should therefore move that the clause be rejected. Lord HOWICK said the Gallant Officer had wholly misunderstood the nature of the Bill. In such a body as the pensioners there must necessarily be a great many of very improvident persons, and it was , found that old soldiers and old sailors were much im posed upon by designing men, and wholly robbed of the benefit of their pensions for a momentary gratifica tion. It was for the purpose of preventing such im position that the Bill was brought in. Mr. WAKLEY agreed in what the Noble Lord had said, but he wished to call the Noble Lord's attention to the plan of paying the pensions at present. If the pensions were paid every week nine-tenths of the evils would be at once abolished, for now the pen , stoner got into debt during the quarter, and his whole I pension was sacrificed to the hackster, at prices 50 per I cent. above the usual price. If any additional ex pense arose from adopting a different mode cf pay men to the Chelsea pensioner, the House, he ?was assured, would willingly grant it. The scenes of wretchedness and crime in the neighbourhood of Chelsea Hospital, arising from the present mode of I payment, were such as no language could describe, and he hoped the Government would take it into their ear liest and serious consideration. The payments might be made weekly instead of quarterly, and in the next Scs- I sion of Parliament he should make some proposition to the House on the subject. He trusted, however, the Noble Lord would take the subject into consideration, and see if something could not be done with reference to these evils. Mr. W. ROCHE, as an Irish Magistrate,.could bear testimony to the truth of the observations made by the Hon. Member for Finsbury, and as to the evils result ing from the present system. Sir DE LACY EVANS also expressed Ws earnest Wish that the recommendation of thi; Hon, Member for Finsbury would be taken into consideration by the Go vernment. He however thou3ht that monthly puy ments would be more advantageous than weekly to the old soldier. Lord HO WICK could assure the House the Go vernment would not fail to consider any means that could be adopted to guard old soldiers against the evils that had been mentioned. Sir E. CODRINGTON cordially joined in an ex pression of thanks to the Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. Wakley) for having mentioned this subject, and also to the Noble Lord for having expressed his readi ness to take the subject into consideration. , He also trusted the Government would pay attention to the subject of sailors pensions. _ _ _ Captain PECIIELL said this Bill would take away the soldier's pensions. and assign them them to the Poor law GurdLins.—(Hear, hear.) The sailor's pension was taken from Lim on re-enterin ,, the service, and he hoped some provision would shortly be made by which sennien would be enabled to retain their pensions, although thf! ) , might re-enter the service. Mr. C. WOOD said it was impossible to introduce anything or the kind into the present Bill, Which re lated solely to the army. Captain BOLDER.° thought this discussion had been very beneficial to both service;. The best course would be to put the Bill off till next Session, but if the Noble Lord determined to persevere he (Captain B.) would take the sense of the House on the second clause. By that clause, if the children of an old pen sioner, who perhaps only received 3s. 61. a week pen sion, should go to the workhouse, the Poor-law Guar dians were empowered to seize that 3s. 61, and thus kave the old soldier, who had fought the battles of his country, either to starve or to be shut up in the work house likewise. Sir H. PARNELL said this clause created no new law. The Poor-law Guardians had the same power under the existing law. Mr. WAKLEY—Then why did the Government i wish for any alteration ?—(Hear, hear.) He thought ( the clause was a most harsh, cruel, and unnecessary provision. Lord HO WICK c ou ld no t c o nsen t to postpone the . . ....... . . Bill for another year, as it went to remedy abuses that were felt to exist. The Hon. and Gallant Mem ber for Launceston (Sir H. Harciinge) bad looked at the provisions of the Bill, and had expressed his entire concurrence in them. Mr. HUME said the present Bill would not alter the existing law at al!. Mr. WAKLEY was satisfied this Bill was drawn up in the Poor-law Commissioners' Office. The pensioner under this clause could make no assignment, because no person would consider it worth a straw if the Guardians had a priority of claim. This was a most harsh and unnecessary provision, and he trusted it would not re ceive the sanction of the House. Lord HO WICK said, that from the time at which pensions were first granted by Parliament, for the pro tection of the pensioner the House had found it neces sary most strictly to prohibit any assignment of pensions whatever—( Hear, hear}—and the only assignment that could be made was to the parochial authorities, be cause they advanced the pension. The Hon. Member was mistaken in supposing that the Bill originated at Somerset House. It originated at Chelsea, entirely with the view of protecting the pensioner against the fraud to which he was at present subjected. Mr. WAKLEY said, that by this Bill an assign ment was made for the pensioner, and he was not at all consulted himself. He trusted the Gallant Officer would divide the House. Sir FL PARNELL said, the Bill mentioned nothing of a general - asiigornent. Mr. WAKL EY considered it to be so in substance, if the Guardians chose to enforce it. There were so many ex-officio Guardians that he had no confidence in them, and should give them every opposition in his power. This Bill might have come from Chelsea, but the clause now underconsideration he was convinced had been introduced in consequence of a hint from Somerset House. —(A laugh.) After some desultory discussion as to the postpone ment of the clause, the House divided, when their ap peared— For the clause Against it 7 _ _ Majority The remaining clauses were agreed to. After some verbal amendments had been made, and the House re sumed. TIMBER SHIPS BILL. Mr. G. PALMER moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. WARBURTON said the Bill would prevent timber ships from carrying their cargo on deck. Why should such a Bill be temporary ? The Hon. Member applied it to the cargoes between this and Christmas. A measure of this kind should be prospective. If a Bill of this description were to be permanent, it ought to apply to the autumn rather than to the spring voyage. Of 309 timber ships lost between 1832 and 1838, 252 were of the autumn voyage. The evidence assigned not only the lading timber on the decks, but the bad quality of the ships, as the cause of the disasters which were so frequent. Yet this important fact was slurred over by the Committee. They had not given the character and quality, not merely of the ships lost, but of the whole number en gaged in the trade, information necessary to test the correctness of these inferences, respecting the causes of those disasters. And he could not agree in the con clusion of the Committee, that the losses of good ves sels were as numerous, in proportion, as the losses of bad vessels. He bad taken the trouble to analyze the returns, and had found that of 78 vessels lost, 44 were lost going out, therefore it could not have been from lading cargoes at all.--(Hear, hear.) Of the remain ing 34, 27 were either bad ships, or deficient in stores, See.—( Hear, hear.) He admitted that there was a body of the evidence attributed in part the loss of vessels, returning from America, to the loding on deck ; an equal body of testimony attributed it to the had quality of the vessels employed. (The Hon. Mem ber adverted to the evidence, quoting divers passages. The Committee had slurred over every thing, but what was their " hobby," which did not seem to be properly performing their duty. This Bill was only for one year ; the views of the Hon. Member (Mr. Palmer) as to any permanent measure, were not known, It vvas ao be hoped that the Hon. Member would estrict legislation , /1 n;sassi.yp dilated out, via. the autumn voyages. Mr. P. THOMSON was no great friend to this kind of legislation, but he thought a case had been es tablished, showin g the danger of deck loads, and calling for legislative interference ; he should, therefore, give his support to the Bill, coupled with the conditions of his Hon. Friend, confining its operation to the autumn voyages. As this was merely an experiment, be thought it better to make it a temporary measure. Mr. CHAPMAN said this was a Bill required by humanity and requested by t h e shipowners themselves' and therefore be was glad th ere was no opposition. The object of the Bill was t o re li eve o ld ships by doing a way with deck loads, whi c h were carr i ed in no other trade. He was happy that there was no oppositi on to t hi s Bill, which would greatly benefit the trade. . . _ Mr. BARNARD supported the Bill, and thought it ought to apply to spring as well as autumn voyages, as he : thought deck loads ought never to be carried. Mr:. G. PALMER replied that he did not propose this as a permanent Bill, because he thought that was the duty of her Majesty's Government on a print of so much importance. The Committee had not slurred over any evidence, but had been anxious to obtain every information in their power. It was clear that losses had taken place to a great extent, in situations in which no such losses ought to have happened, occasioned solely by faulty stowage, and faulty management. The loss to the owners would be nothing by prohibit ing deck-loads, as the difference in insurance and charges would more than compensate thrm. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the observations of the Hon. Member for Bridport were hardly fair ; all his suggestions were regarding matters to be discussed in Committee. He would not detain the House longer than to express his admiration of the manner in which the Committee had made out a case calling imperiously, in the name of humanity, for legislative interference. Mr. HUME suggested whether it would not be more efficient to prevent bad ships being employed, by per mitting an increased rate of insurance being taken, be cause as long as they could be insured, merchants would send mere rafts to sea. Admiral ADAM said that what had fallen from the Hon. Member fur Kilkenny would be properly discussed in Committee, and ought to be attended to. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The second reading of the Payment of Rates Bill, was postponed till to-morrow. On the motion of Dr. LUSHINGTON, the Ec clesiastical Districts Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday next. SHANNON NAVIGATION. On the motion for the House resolving itself into Committee on the Shannon Navigation Bill, Colonel SIBTHORP said he thought, considering the miserable state in which the Government were placed at the present moment, the House ought not to pro ceed further with the consideration of the Bill during the present Session. He respected Ireland as much as any man, and he should be glad to see it improved ; but he thought the mode in which the money was to be raised for carrying on the work, namely, by Exchequer Bills, was most objectionable. So great an objection had he to the Bill that could he find any Hon. Member to divide with him, he would move that the further con sideration of the Bill should be proceeded with that day six months. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER trusted that after consideration Hon. Members would, considering the time the Bill had been before the House, and taking into account alss that not a single petition had been presented against the Bill, with the exception of one from an individual which had been withdrawn, allow the Bill to go into Committee. The public had been greatly deluded by statements that had been put forth relative to his having an interest in the Bill ; and it was his intention, when the Bill was in Committee, to rebut those statements. Mr. W. ROCHE supported the committal of the Bill. Mr. HUME thought that the House were entitled to have an explanation from the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the large sum that was required for this work before they went into Committee. Mr. F. FRENCH thought that they ought to zo into Committee on the Bill, in which stage any expla nation might be given that was required. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the House would only go into a Committee it was his intention to enter fully into the details of the Bill, Captain BOLDERO wished to ask whether the proposed estimate would cover the whole expense ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that it would. Captain BOLDER() wished to know what guarantee the House had that such was the case ? Every other public work had exceeded if not nearly doubled the esti mated expense. Mr. O'CONNELL wished to say a few words be fore the House went into Committee on the Bill. It had been stated that he had a personal interest in the improvement of the navigation ; he had no such thing, his property was 40 or 50 miles from the Shannon, and no man bad less personal interest in the measure than he had. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the House ought to have an explanation from the Chancellor of the Exchequer before they went into Committee. Mr. ELLIS would not oppose the House going into Committee, but he must protest against proceeding with the Bill in the dark. The maps and plans of the intended work were not yet before the House. Mr. FINCH must protest against proceeding further with the Bill, as no explanation had been given yet of the necessity for so great a sum as was asked for by the measure. He would move as an amendment that the Bill should be taken into further consideration that day three months. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, if Hon. Members were determined to persevere into an this cou rse h e mus t i n j ust i ce to hi mse lf enter an explanation of the objects and nature of the Bill. The interests not only of Ireland, but England were in volved in this vote, and if the House were to adopt the proposition of the Hon. Member they would go in direct variance to the decision of Parliament and their duty to the people of Ireland. An Act had passed that House, which had rece i ve d th e sanction of the other branch of the Legislature, in which the whole principle of the Shannon vote bad been affirmed. The Act to which he alluded was passed in 1835, which recited that it was expedient that the expenses of the proposed improvement in the Shannon should be borne out of the public funds.—( Hear, hear.) It had been supposed that that measure was brought forward now for the first time, and for private interests. No one who had ever turned their attention to the sub ject hut must know that it had been under considera tion for centuries—that it had been recommended un der the secretaryship of Edmund Spencer—alao under the administration of Sir John Davis, the improvement of the Shannon was considered as a national object ; and also in the time of Lord Bacon, who was a high authority. He was almost ashamed to take up the time of the House upon the question, but the object of the Bill had been much misunderstood, and he felt it his duty to state the matter fully to the House. The experiment of leaving the improvement of the Shannon to private enterprise had already been tried, but it had entirely failed. Private speculation might do very well for the improvement of a small river, but to improve one of 170 miles in length it required greater re sources. The question had been agitated since the time of Elizabeth, and was under the consideration of every Government since that time, and in 1831 Colonel Burgoyne, Mr.. Mudge, Mr. Rhodes, and Mr. Cubits made a report, in which they said it was surprising that so noble a river as the Shannon should be in such a state of neglect ; and they further said, the improvement of it would be for the advantage of both countries. Again, in 1834, a Select Committee, composed of Gentlemen of all parties—of English, Irish, and Scotch Members sat, and having inquired into the subject, they reported that the Government ought to take up the matter—ought to undertake the work. The Government did not proceed upon that Report, but upon his recommendation they waited until they were aware that the whole of the compensations were settled. The Parliament then passed an Act for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of these compensa tions, and would be guilty of a fraud if they now turned round and said they would abandon the scheme. They had a Report before them of the beneficial effects which the public works, undertaken in Scotland, had been the instruments of.—( Hear, hear, hear.) No doubt, hitherto, the Caledonian Canal had been a failure, but it must be borne in mind that that work which cost one million, was at the sole cost of the Government, whereas the present work would not cost the half, and the half of that was secured upon the Irish County -rates. Would the House say they were prepared to vote 1,000,000/. for Scotland, 120,000/. for canals in Canada—tint they would vote for the payment of the Danish claims, but would not vote for that which would not only benefit Ireland but the whole country ? A more despicable— a more ungenerous course could not be taken towards Ireland, for the measure would not only increase its re sources, but make it more beneficial to England. It had been stated that he. had some personal interest in the question. No doubt he had, but he would put the House in possession to what extent. The sum proposed to be expended upon the Lower Shannon below Limerick was 52,1371., or one-tenth of the whole. In that portion he had an interest to the extent of one mile and-a-half out of sixty. He had no fault to find with the Commis sioners, but certainly they had shown him no fa vour, for before any improvement on his property was commenced, he was compelled to pay 4,000/ —one-half of the whole estimated expenditure. The generous spirit of that House and the British pub lic had not hesitated to afford to other parts of this empire, and the dependencies of this empire, that might be much less dearer to them than Ireland, ample means of carrying on beneficial works ; and he sin cerely trusted the House would go into Committee on this Bill, and thus show the people of Ireland they were ready to assist them. Major WOOD was quite willing to vote for any sum of money that would tend to the improvement of pub lic works and the general welfare of Ireland ; but he would not consent to a reckless issue of Exchequer bills . —(Hear, hear)—a n d t h e i ncurring of a debt without providing the means of meeting that expenditure. There was already a deficiency of the revenue to the amount of . 2,ooo.,Cool.—th at was to be met by an issue of Exchequer bills ; there was a prospect of a further deficiency on account of the change in the Post -office— perhaps to the extent of anoth er million —and th a t would be met by an issue of Exchequer bills. If these works were necessary for the welfare of Ireland he was ready to take the proper means of pro viding the revenue, but he would no t assent to recklessly i nc urring a debt, without providing the taxes which would secure the revenue, and the public faith of the country.—( Hear, hear.) He was quite sure the course they were taking with regard to the revenu e was not on l y i n j ur i ous to t h e cre dit and faith of the Country, but that it was a course likely to involve the country in difficulties they would never be able to sur mount.---( Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said these works would not be completed in a less period than eight or nine y ears . I n 1817 i , the late Lord Castle reagh issued Exchequer bills for the promotion of public works. Those Exchequer bills were issued for English purposes, not to the extent of 500 ,0001., which be pro posed, but to the amount of 7,000,000/ and by an ac count on the table, it a p peare d that so. ; far fr o m that transaction having been productive of loss, there had, after deducting the amount o f b a d debts, been a profit ' on the transaction of 313,0001., independent of the great public benefit which the promotion of the public works bad conferred.—( Hear.) Major WOOD—I object to the issuing of Exche quer bills when there is a deficiency of revenue. Mr. O'CONNELL said the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman was exceedingly generous towards Ireland ; but when a proposition was made for a grant of money, he opposed it.—(A laugh.) For his own part, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman would succeed, because he (Mr. O'C.) thought it would do more good in Ireland than if the Chancellor of the Ex c h equer ' s proposition were carried. It would be one further proof of the disposition of that House towards Ireland—not one side of the House merely, but both sides. One side would not give them franchises or privileges, and others would not advance money. Both sides, on money questions, were disposed to vote against them.—(Laughter.) When the Union took place between the two countries, Ireland owed about 27,000,0001., and England owed 500,000,000/, and was that justice between nation and nation which would not be justice as between man and man in the case of a partnership ? The Session had gone by without one single advantage being gained by Ireland. The measure of franchise that was lately before that House had been but stingily given, and would be probably annihilated elsewhere. Did Hon. Gentlemen think they would go back to Ireland without a determination of telling the people of Ireland those truths which would make them regret one day or another the manner in which they had treated that un happy country ? Why, a third of the money proposed to be granted was their own. 120,0001. had been voted for the Thames Tunnel.—(Cries of " More.") The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER -170,0001. Mr. O'CONNELL-170,0001. for the Thames Tunnel ! What advantage to Ireland was the Thames Tunnel ?—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) If these works were carried on provisions would be cheaper in Liver pool and Manchester, and the other manufacturing towns ; for by the improvement of the Shannon pro visions would be brought in 76 hours from thence to the Manchester market. That was the advantage it would give to the manufacturers, but yet they refused this stingy, paltry, and miserable grant, while they had thrown away millions on other parts of their dominions. This was a paltry, pitiful sum for a great national and imperial objycr, and he sincerely trusted, for the reason he had stated, that the House would agree to the amendment.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear.") Mr. WILLIAMS would not withdraw his oppo sition to this proposition, notwithstanding the obscrva tions of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.— (Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had stated that a vast amount of public money had been squandered away—and in that he (Mr. Williams) agreed. —(Hear, hear.) But when they looked at the state of the country—an over-burthened population, and the distress that existed—when they saw the condition of the Exchequer, and that the Chancellor of the Exche quer was increasing the amount of the National Debt, he thought it was necessary to put a stop to any further squandering of the public money.—(Hear, hear.) No man would be more ready than himself to support any measure for the good of the people of Ireland, and he would continue to do so until they had full justice ; but it was quite another thing to give away the public money. The tolls to be levied on the river Shannon were to be applied to further improvements. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER.— No, no. Mr. WILLIAMS contended that the 55th clause expressly provided for that application. If the proceeds of the tolls were to go in liquidation of one half of the principal debt, and the payment of the interest on the other half, it would be quite a different matter. It was his duty to protect the pockets of his constituents against the improper application of the public taxes. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer could show that the profit from the tolls would pay the interest on the outlay, it would be another consideration, but he had attempted to do no such thing. But the proceeds of these tolls were not to apply. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER— They are. Mr. WILLIAMS said the clause to which he had referred showed the contrary. If the House were to agree to this grant of 290,0001., they would be called on for a further sum. If Ireland was to be benefited by this measure, let a tax be laid on the river, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the surplus of the works was to be applied in reduction of the advance. Mr. WILLIAMS wished the Right Hon. Gentleman to point out the clause. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should be quite ready to discuss it on going into Committee. Mr. PLUMPTRE objected to the proposition. He did not see why the same principle should not be ap plied to public as to private interests—that industry should be left to its own resources. Our revenue was falling off—it would not meet the expenditure ; and here there was a vote of near 300,0001. proposed —not as a loan, but as a grant, to one part of the country. He could not conscientiously consent to such an outlay of the public moncy.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. D. BROWNE said the Hon. Member for Co ventry belonged to a class of gentlemen calling them selves " Liberals," who were very liberal to Ireland when it cost them nothing ; but when assistance in money was proposed to Ireland, they became as great mo nopolists as Hon. Members opposite. They voted willingly for measures which they did not think would pass, to gain a false popularity, but if a vote of money was suggested for Ireland they rose en masse against it. —(Hear, hear.) Now this he considered the strongest argument in favour of a repeal of the Union.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. PRYME had opposed the proposition even before the revenue had become deficient, upon the gene ral principle that if grants of the public money were to be voted for improvements in Ireland, they must equally be voted for England and Scotland.—(Hear, hear.) He bad never understood that liberality in politics meant donations in money.—(Hear, hear, and laugh ter.) As to the argument that the Shannon was a Royal River, and liable to tolls, he would just remark that these tolls were very insignificant, and quite dis proportionate to the outlay. Mr. WAKLEY said he considered the observations of the Hon. Member for Mayo wholly uncalled for.— (" Oh, oh," from Mr. O'Connell.) The Hon. Mem ber had accused some Hon. Gentleman of voting for measures which they did not •expect to pass. Now that was a most unjustifiable charge.—(lronical cries of " Hear, hear," from Mr. O'Connell and other Mem bers.) No taunts should induce him to consent to this proposition. Allusion had been made by the Learned Member for Dublin to the grant for the Thames Tunnel. Now this was a good argument against those who had voted for that grant ; but not against those who, like himself (Mr. Wakley.) considered it a most improvident and inexcusable outlay of the public money.—(Hear, hear.) But any proposition for squandering away the public funds was sure to be car ried in that House, and he knew well that this propo sition would be carried. The Learned Member had said that the result of the proposition would be to bring the produce of Ireland within 36 hours of Lancashire, the effect of which would be to convey away the food of the Irish people.—(Loud cries of " Oh, oh," from Mr, O'Connell and other Irish Members.) It was very well to cry " Oh," but the fact was, that the House did not like to hear the truth, they were so unused to it.—(A laugh.) This proposition was holding out a premium to absenteeism ; whereas the object of our Legislation should be to lead the Irish landowners to reside at home and improve their lakes and rivers. Did England or Scotland ask for such grants ?—(" Hear," from Mr. O'Connell ; " No," from another Member.) There was a bad principle involved in this measure— the principle that the public money should be granted for local improvements. If it were 'done in one case, it must be done in others.—(Hear, hear.) The effect of such measures always was to discourage private enter prize, and was therefore injurious instead of beneficial. With an insufficient revenue such a course was pecu liarly imprudent, and he should give it his most stre- nuous opposition. The country was never in greater distress. Would the House ever stop in this reckless course ?—(" No," and laughter.) No, they would continue in their career of folly till the result was ruinous. The rents in Ireland were higher than in England or Scotland—(" No, no," from some Mem bers)—yet the wages of labour were much lower. Ought this to be ? And could a measure like this really improve the country while so circumstanced? Mr. DILLON BROWNE explained. Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH said that the Hon. Member for Finsbury had said that this 290,000/. ought to be raised by the Irish counties for these pur poses. He would say that if all the money that had been raised in Ireland for the purposes of public works had been made available, there would have been no necessity for them to ask assistance of the United Kingdom. He found by a return presented to that House in 1833, that 512,000/. had been raised from the revenue of the Woods and Forests in Ireland, which was, he considered, applicable to such pur poses as this of the improvement of the Shannon ; but there had been expended in Ireland of this sum, including the salaries of clerks and secretaries, only 3,100/. ; under these circumstances he did not think they were asking too much. Captain BOLDERO said that the Right Hon. Gentleman had said that a great reduction had taken place in the number of troops required for Ireland, and that, therefore, that sum thus saved ought to be applied to the improvement of that country. But no reduction of the public expense had taken place in con sequence of this withdrawal of troops who had been sent to Canada. With regard to this improvement, no estimate had been given, except in one instance for 7,000/., which had been refused, and if that had been refused with an improving revenue, why call upon them to advance so much larger a sum with a decreasing one ? It had been said that certain persons had stopped the mills in expec tation of these improvements, and would suffer loss if the Bill should not be passed. These persons must stand to their own loss, as they had no right to stop the mills until this money was voted. If the Chancellor of the Exchequer could show that there was the least ex pectation of profit, more especially if be offered ade quate security, he would have no difficulty in raising money in the City for this purpose, but he believed he could show no such thing. The River Thames stood in need of improvement ; it would be a great advantage to have a cut through the Isle of Dogs, but if any one were to propose a grant of money for this purpose he would be laughed at. With respect to the Caledonian Canal he thought the House had committed an error by which they ought to take warning in the present in stance. He hoped the Hon. Member would press his amendment, and he should certainly vote for it. Mr. ELLIS, in reply to the taunts of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, wout.d state that from certain returns for which he (Mr. Ellis) had moved, it appeared that 800,827,1411. had been granted for pub lic works in Ireland, which was a proof that there was no want of generosity. He objected to a measure of this importance being brought forward at so late a pe riod. It had not been introduced until the 17th of June. and various petitions had been presented against it—it had been hurried forward during every step at a late hour of the evening, and with little discussion. The vote for half a million of money had been taken at a late hour likewise. Not more than half the maps and plans were laid on the table of the House, and as they were all referred to in the preamble, he should like to know why they were not laid before Parliament. They were called on to le2islate on their own responsibility, and not on that of the Lords of the Treasury. He believed this objection to be fatal to the measure. He cotasidered this Bill as exceedingly ob noxious, more particularly that portion of it establishing the Commissioners, one of whom was to be a paid one. Was there not a Board already established for this purpose ?—the Board of Public Works—this was strictly within their duty—(Loud cheerin g )—and he could state, from the highest authority, that that Board had not enough to do to occupy their time. He was not unwilling to lay out the public money for the improvement of so noble a river, but he trusted the House would pause to consider the best means for doing so—that they would take time to see whether the plans of the Government would be for the public good. He would vote for the House not going into Committee upon the present Bill during the present Session. Lord CLEMENTS said the Hon. Member com plained of the want of maps and plans—they were be fore the House, and any one could see them. He had never heard more illiberal, more shuffling, or more dis graceful arguments against a beneficia: measure, than he had heard from the other side of the House.--( Hear, hear.) The Irish people did not want anything in the shape of favour, they only wanted justice.—(Loud cries of " Divide, divide.") Mr. A. YATES supported the Bill amidst confusion. The Gallery was then cleared. 'The House divided, when there appeared— For the motion 64 For the amendment 25 Majority.•... —39 Upon our return to the gallery we found the House in Committee upon the Bill, and Mr. ELLIS complaining of the patronage given to the Government by the Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de fended the Board of the Treasury. They had no patronage at all i n t h e matter. G enera l B urgo y ne and Mr. Griffiths were not paid Commissioners, and Major Jones, who was the only paid Commissioner, was unknown to the Government except through the re commendation of General Burgoyne. Colonel SIBTHORP wanted tb know what the salary of the fortunate Commissioner was to be. The Commission would last seven or eight years, and with a deficient revenue, which he had no doubt would in that time be seven times as bad, they were appointing a new Commissioner, with an unknown salary. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had omitted to state that the salary of the paid Commissioner was to be 6001., but it would be the sub ject of an annual grant, and had no reference to the Bill before the House. Col. PERCEVAL wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to supersede the pre sent Shannon Commissioners ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied that it was not. Col. SIBTHORP said the very name of Commis sioner was as odious to him as the Treasury Bench.— (Laughter.) He hated the name of it.—(Continued laughter.) If clay Hon. Member could divide vith he would move that the Commissioners be no longer continued under the Bill. Mr. ELLIS thought no Commissioners need be ap pointed, as the Board of Works was quite sufficient Lord MORPETH said the labour was so great that it was sometimes impossible to perform it, and an addition had been suggested to the Board of Works. Mr. HUME had understood that the Board of Works, with one additional officer, was to execute these duties. The C HA NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that Major Jones, as well as the other Commissioners, who were also Commissioners of the Board of Works, would act gratis, and not a single clerk would be ap pointed who would not be necessary to the Board of Works, if these duties were to be imposed on that Board. Colonel SIBTHORP suggested the propriety of transferring these duties to the Secretary for Ireland, who is said to have a vast deal of leisure. Lord MORPETH said if the Gallant Officer would point out his (Lord Morpeth's) leisure time, it would be a discovery to him for which he should be obliged to the Gallant Officer. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause Against it lB Majority .... The clause was then agreed to, with some verbal amendments. Clause 3 was then agreed to. On clause 4 being proposed, Mr. HUME objected to the clause, unless the Chan cellor of the Exchequer could assure the House that no great issue of Exchequer Bills would be required at the present time. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could assure the House that such was the case. He agreed with the Hon. Gentleman as to the impropriety of an extensive issue at present. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 5,6, 7, and 8 were also agreed to. On clause 9, containing the proviso for the 290,000/., by way of grant, Mr. HUME objected that he did not quite see if the word " grant" would imply the re-payment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was of opinion that the words were sufficiently clear. The clause was agreed to, with clauses 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. On clause 18, providing for the annual presentation of the accounts, Mr. HUME suggested that the accounts should be made up to 31st December, and presented before the Ist February.—Agreed to. Clauses 19, 20, 21, 22, were then agreed to, with verbal amendments. On clause 23, Mr. ELLIS objected to making the awards of the Commissioners final. Mr. O'CONNEL L said none had been hitherto complained of. Mr. GISBORNE and Mr. F. FRENCH supported the clauses. The gallery was about to be cleared for a division, when Mr. ELLIS withdrew his amendment, and the clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 46 were agreed to, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stating, in answer to a question on the last clause, that the tolls, where they could, would be collected immediately. The remaining clauses were agreed to. The pre.. amble was agreed to, and the Report was ordered to be received on Monday. METROPOLIS POLICE BILL, On the motion for the third reading of the Metro polis Police Bill, Major WOOD suggested its postponement until the Metropolis Police Courts Bill should be disposed of. Mr. FOX MAULE must press the third reading, as there was not such a connection between the two Bills as would render postponement necessary, and it was time the present Bill was sent up to the other House. Colonel SIBTHORP thought this was a most op pressive measure. Mr. WAKLEY said it was not the Metropolitan Police Courts' Bill, but the City Police Bill that was to go on in conjunction with this, and as the Bill had undergone ample discussion, and had been considerably improved, which would make it work well, he hoped the opposition would be withdrawn. He had opposed the Bill as lows as he could, but seeing the House was determined to pass it, he hoped no further oppo sition would be offered. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House divided— Ayes ......................................... 42 Noes Majority fo r th e t hi r d reading The Bill was then read a third time. Mr. FOX MAULE proposed to bring up a clause empowering policemen to take persons into custody for aggravated assaults, without having witnessed the com mission of the offence. Major WOOD opposed the clause. Mr. HAWES said that this clause had been pro posed, after mature deliberation, at the unanimous re commendation of the Committee. Colonel SIBTHORP hoped the Hon. and Gallan Gentleman would not divide the House. Major 'WOOD would divide if any one would divide wi h him. Mr. AGLIONBY said, this question had been amply discussed in the Committee of the whole House, and in accordance with the feeling manifested on that occasion, the clause had been proposed. • Mr. WAKLEY supported the clause. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1839. The clause was then brought up and agreed to, and added to the Bill by way of rider. Mr. WAKLEY then brought up a clause enabling the Police to take persons into custody found riding be hind carriages without leave of the driver, which was agreed to and added to the Bill by way of rider. The Bill was then passed. The Slave Trade (Portugal) Bill vira committed pro Anna. The Excise Licences (Sale of Spirit Licences) Bill went through Committee. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL brought in a Bill to amend the law relating to the providing lodg ings for the Judges of Assize in England and %Vales. Mr. PIGOTT brought in a Bill to provide for the applotment and levy of Grand Jury Cess in certain cases in Ireland. Captain PECHELL brought in a Bill to authorise the trustees of turnpike roads to reduce the scale of tolls payable for overweight. Mr. O'CONNELL brought in a Bill to assimilate the practice of granting licenses for the sale of spirits in Ireland to the Law as existing in England and Scot land. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past One o'clock. PARLIANIEN TARY DIVISIONS. (Frew the Pates and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

HENRY ?RATTAN.—NO work of a similar kind was ever more needed than a comprehensive and efficient life of the illustrious assertor and achiever of Irish independence, and none was ever more aptly timed than the admirable one which bas just supplied the desideratum in question. The chief merit and attraction of these vo lumes arise from the circumstance of the subject of them being allowed to tell his own story, by means of the large and most valuable body of original correspondence which they include, especially relating to the early portions of Grattan's career. In virtue of these highly interesting letters to his private friends, the Life of Grattan acquire a personal interest which is very rarely attached to the career of a great statesman. CARLOW ELECTION.—For ludicrous flummery linked with effrontery, the following grandiloquent para graph. of which, with others of the same rich description, the Mail is the author, we think it would be difficult to find any parallel, except in our Irish Contemporary's co lumns :—" Admiration might exhaust its language without satisfying its sense of justice, were all that ought to be said of the courage, conduct, and patriotism displayed by Mr. Bruen, on this trying and memorable occasion, to be com mitted to paper. We feel inadequate to the task, and shall consequently refer for a fuller record of his virtues to the hearts of that admiring community upon whom they have made an indelible impression, contenting ourselves with the single observation that civic fortitude has seldom been put to a severer test, and nover endured with more gene. rous constancy." We beg to put the public on their guard against the attempts of one or more evil-disposed individuals to circulate notes or paper money of the Galloway Bank, which has long ago discontinued payment. The notes are without the usual signatures, and we are to sorry to say that a quantity of them have been foisted upon several persons who can ill afford to be thus deluded.—Dumfries Courier.

The Courier of last evening makes the following corn- 1 merits on the Duke of Wellington's speeeh on Tuesday in ! the Lords w e deeply regret to say that the Duke of Wellington utterly forgot his own dignity, and, what is of considerable more importance, the dignity of truth and of justice, when he broke out, last night, into a tower ing passion, and accused the Government of all kindia , of offences, because the Chartists have been riotoras. in Birmingham. This is sheer Midsummer-madness. t in the Noble Duke, and should excite much more: alarm amongst his Grace's friends than it can occasion. annoyance in Ministerial quarters. It is difficult to se- , count for so eccentric an ebullition occurring at that hour of the evening—that is to say, before dinner. The Duke ! raved like a Roden, a Winchilsea, or a Stanhope—in rash, I violent, irritating, and unjust language, even they scarcely ever surpassed him." The Globe alludes as follows to the conversation in The Lords of Tuesday evening on the subject of t he Birming ham riots :—" It would be more for the dignity of that House which, untouched by popular pressure, is supposed to be equally exempt from popular passions, to sus pend, on such occasions as these unfortunate proceed ings at Birmingham, the indulgence of party feeling at the expense of union for public order. That is, however, a matter of taste or prudence. We cannot prevent their Lordships from applying the usual measure of party injustice to this as to other ;natters. We cannot prevent them from attacking the Government for not being ready to pass judgment within twenty-four hours on the Magistrates, and all the other parties co ncerned ; and. this before it was possible for them to have any' complete know ledge of the facts. All this we cannot pre vent their Lord ships from deeming consistent with the ch aracter of their body, which is " nothing, if not deliberative." We can only endeavour not to follow their Lordships' example, by indulging in recriminations which we should dteem no less ill-timed than their charges." The Standard thus comments on Lord Melbourne's reply on Tuesday in the House of Lords to the Duke of Wellington's observations on the subject of the riots at Birmingham :—" Lord Melbourne defends himself and, ltis colleagues against the charge of culpable ignorance, on - the ground that the crowning atrocity of the rioters had occur..red but seventeen hours before he spoke; and palliates ..the neglect or disloyalty of the I3irmiugham Magistrates by a plea of want of preparation end ignorance of the law; both defences are untenable. When Lord Melbourne taks of seventeen hours, he ought to remember that Birmingham; is within four hours of London, to borrow the Dutch mo de of calculating distance, in such a case the proper mode.
