I. triton the motion of Thomas Wilson, Esq. M. I'., second ed by J. W. Buckle, Esq.. Resolved troanimously,That the system of establishing West Docks, for the reception of vessels laden with •conimodities, • subject to high duties on importatiorr,Or .balAtit'd for. exporta. „tionoffords the greatest,possible security to property; and is therefore alike beneficial to - the Merchant, the Ship-owner, and the Revenue. - • 2. ,On the motion of John Forbes Mitchell ) Esq seconded by J. A. Rucker, Esq. Resolved unanimously, That the high Rates granted to - the different West Dock Companies in the Port of . London, - the. monopoly of various branches of commerce for a limited period, were sanctioned by the Legislature, with the view of inducing individnalt•to invest their capital in such establish ments; and were comparatively of importahce, so long as the war gave to this country an unusual share of the com merce of the world; hnt hare heen heavily" felt, since the re turn of peace has placed.us in a state of competition with the .other commercial and maritime Poweri of Europe. 3. On the motion of : Robe' t Rickards, Esq. • seconded by John Hall; Esq._ Resolved unanimously, That the high Rates, combined with other heavy charges, to which Co - millet - eV is exposed, tend to defeat the important Object, of making this Metro polis the Emporium.of Europe, as Merchants are thereby, this conraged ft um consigning tht it goods to London, nor can Ship Owners afford to bring Cargoes on the same terms, as to one of the free ports Oil the continent; and. that a great proportion of the benefits expected front the warehousing system have, in consequence, already been lost ; and much of that Commerce, which would otherwise have centered in this country, has been driven into other chaonels. 4. On the motion of F. Itiemble, Esq. seconded by W. Frampton, Esq. Resolved unanimously, That the monopolies of the differ-, ent Dock Companies, are not only injurious to the Foreign Commerce, but to the Home. Trade of this Metropolis, as t bey force coosignments of Mervbandize to the •Out ports, where the charges art more moderate ; and, by enabling the Traders in those ports to deliver their goods upon lower terms, give them a decided advantage over . those of the Port of Londou; and th4t, as all charges fall ultimately, upon the consumer, they operate as a partial and un fair tax upon the Inhabitants of London and'_ its_vicinity, and the persons who are supplied from this Market. 5. On the motion of Sir Charles Price, Bart., seconded by George Lyall, Esq. Resolved unanimously ' Tbat,in. order to afford due relict to. British Navigation and Commerce, - and alto, in jUsiice•to the Inhabitants - of - this Metropolis, it is.expettient, thatoOett ever the Charters of the reSpeetiveDOck Companies expire, their different monopolies should cease and determine ; by which means, the Owners of Ships and Merchandise Would he - relieved from various inconveniences; delays, • and eirtences, to which they are .not.v, subjected,—all charges would find their fair and proper. level the commercial interests at• large would derive those advantages-from the said Companies, in contemplation, of which they were originally established. 6,, On the motion of S. C. Holland, Esq. seconded by G.G. deii:Larpent, Resolved unanimously, That theradvantage of a free and open competition, is supported and confirmed by the fifth and set'entli Reports of the Special 'CommiNsiimers,'npptiinted by the Prince Regent to imprireittio-th.eCitstookit , :and.Excise ; by the evidence.,,gien to the Seleet.Committee of the Houie of Commons upon the Petition of the Alerkhints and others for relief from the excessive charges of the East India Dock Company; .and also, by the evidence incidentally given to the •Selec.

Lord taSKINE also presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of hollaon, in Common Council assem bled, to the same elfect, with an additional prayer, that an Inquiry should take place into the cause of the late proceedings, in order to punish those by whose advice they had been in stigated.—Read, and 'laid on the table:, couNTY SITERIFFS. The Earl of I) IFLNLEY had to present Pea- tion both numerously and' respectably signed. It was from the Clergy, Gentry, and Freehol ders of the County of Rent, and had been agreed to in consequence of the refusal of the Sheriff to accede to a requisition for holdihg a County' Meeting . 2 although that Requisition was signed by •a'Member of Parliament and a large number of yeomen rind respectable Freeholders of the County. The, Petition also prayed for an in quiry into the .mode of appointing Sheriffs, and he (the Noble Earl) conceived with the Peti tioners that it was a point from which the greatest abuse might arise. This was not the proper time for entering into the subject, but he certainly thought that it ought to come under the notice of Parliament, how far an officer ap pointed at the pleasure of the Crown, should be investri with the power of refusing and suspend- ing one of the first rigfits of the subject, the right 'of-petitioning - for relief, Tire Earl of LIVERPOOL did not rise to object to the ,Petition, or to undertake the defence of. the Sheriff, whose conduct it impugned, as he . had no information on the suhject, but inconse ' quence of an observation which had fallen frem. the. Noble Earl respecting the appointment of Sheriffs, - Instead, of being entirely at theplea, sure of the Crown, nothing could be more judi 7 dicial than that appointment.. Individuals were recommended. to hold. the Office of Sheriffs•by the. Judges of the Court of Exchequer, on the . oaths of those Judges, and a selecti o n w as then made by the King in Council, taking the first - On the list against whom' no objection had been : found, 'and without. airy reference whatever to political opinions. Tire Earl of DARNLEY, in explanation, said, that he did not mean to impute that the influence of the Crown was exercised in the appointment of Sheriffs, bat merely to observe, that, under other circumstances,. they might be made, the in struinentspf the Crown to obstruct,very materi ally the right of petitioning. • The Earl of GROSVENOR. adverted to the pro ceedings at the 'Chester County Meeting .for the 'of shewing the very extraordinary con duct of tie Sheriff, who had chosen to take upon himself, to decide. that an amendment proposed. by him( Lord Grosvenor) was irrelevant, without putting any question upon it to the 'Meeting, and who had afterwards also taken, upon himself to decide that the Address was agreed to, and re : - fused, although called upon to do so, to adopt Any Mode by which the sense of the IVleeting_ could be really ascertained. He, trusted that this extraordinary conduct of the Sheriff, so sub versive of the rights of the subject, would. be ma,de the iubject of animadversion, if not in that-House, in the other House Of . Parliarnent, and that senile. means-would :be found of marking it with .a pro- Fer severity of :censure. Petition was read and - ordered to lie on the table. THF.TuIiGY.

Lord HoLLAND said, that the Noble Lord might -have Made up his mind- upon the question as to the right of the Queen to have her name inserted in the Liturgy., that no such right ex isted, but undoubtedly- there were men high iu the law, and others eininent in station, who were of opinion, that the Queen bad a legal, right to have her name inserted in the'Liturgy - . It was, therefore, quite natural that the \people, seeing that he,r M.ajesty's name was excluded from the Liturgy, and witnessing hesi4es that her Maje Sty was refused a Palace, and that no establishment had hitherto been given to her, that they should Petition for Ow interference of that House, to have her Majesty restored to those rights which appertained to her .as Queen Consort, and bad been. enjoyed by all preceding Queen Co - psorts. . ELLENBOROUGH, in explanation, ad mitted, that the question respecting the insertion of the Queen's name in the LitUrgy was liatle to very considerable 4pul)E and difficulty,' and though he might have fin.Mcd an OPinion.upon it, he, was n-ell-a,ware.that it . was a cinestion of great delicacy and difficulti.,----Adl he meant to say, was, that the ,Queen's rights as Queen Consort were not at all affected. • SimilarPetitiOns . from the Bokering Corpora tion of Perth, the 'ilimniermen of Leith, the Burgh of .Ding Will, &c." *ere presented by the Earl Grey, and ordered to lie Upon the Table. WILTSHIRE PETITION. The Marquess of LANsDowN' presented a si milar Petition from Wiltshire I agreed to at a • HAMPSHIRE COUNTY MEETING. The Earl of CAR.SAHON presented , a simliat petition from ilanipshire, ao . reed to a.ta County Meeting convened by the Sheriff, and wbkh Nias most numerously and respectably attended. The petition, his Lordship stated, was signed by from 7to 8000 persons, all of then freehold or in some way, proprietors or occupiers of hind. iie felt it necessary to advert, with reference to this Meeting, to the extraordinary attempt made to prevent it, by a number of persons SiglliTig a Counter-ltequisition to tile Sheriff, among . whom were some Members of. his Majesty's Councils. lie rejoiced, however, that this attempt bud failed, and that the county had, been allowed to express its opinion in a legal and. Constitutional manner. _ _ - The Duke of-WELLtNwrox said, if the Noble Lord meant to allude to him, he thought, it right to state that he did hot sign the Counter-keg:li st;on, because - he Mt that, being MeMber of MS Majesty's Government, and being also Lord Lieutenant of the Co - Linty, it would be improperi for him to interfere for the purpose of preventing a County Meeting. He mast say, however, that he entirely agreed with the', Counter-Requisi tionists in thinking it :unnecessary, alto' the sen timents of: the County had been expressed. - 41 nu. A.ddress.signed by 900.0 respectable individnal- , 3, that the•Counfy should be again called together ; nor did he think in any 'point of view that, the .farce of a County. Meeting - was at all necessary, or could be of the slightest service. The Earl Of CARNAIIyoNsaid lie had notirw it o, puted to the Noble Duke that he had signed' Counter-Requisition. The Noble Dukehad,ou the contrary; very properly declined doing,,so, for the reasons he had stated. But it was- signed, by Lord Palmerston and by a Membc.4 of-the Board of Controul.' 'When, however, the N'oble' Duke,stated that the sense of the county had al ready been expressed, he felt it necessary to state the fact, that this expression of the sentiments of the county, merely arose from a circular sent by the Secretary of the Vitt Club to the Ministers of a ll the parishes in Hampshire, calling open , 'thei - u to obtain the signatures Of their parishioners' and. friends to the,Address thus sent. ll,e must say . , that it was most improper for the Ministers. of Religion to be thus interfering in pOlitics, when their sole business ought to be to heal all skins and 'dissensions. amongst their parishioners. But to . Call:this Address an expression of ,the sense of the county; 'so as to preclude a County Meeting,. was altogetherpost erronedus, becae”. it'gaveno,opiniou whatever upon . those .topcs upon which a large Porthan of the Freeholders were-anxious to express their opinion, and itNias not without dismay that he had heatd - the Doke call the County Meeting a farce. Was' he to underltand that such was the feeling .of the King's Government, that the ancient and cansti ttitional right of the people to meet in :their re spective counties and express_their opinions upon publicatfairs, was all a farce ? such were the case, the people might in 'return say, that the proceedings of that and the other house of Par liament were all a farce. Such conduCt was in deed most impolitic and unwise, as tending to set the Parlia.ment.and the People, in decided hosti-; lity to each other. _ The Duke of WELLINGTON, in explanation, said, he. :did not mean to denominate County Meetings a .farce, being well aware that such 'Me e tings - were a part of the Constitution, and that when properly coudOcted, opinion might be expressed by them in a constitutional Manner. His objection was, to the Calling .a County Meeting in Hampshire, after the sense of the County had been sufficiently e:,-. l :ressed, as be thought, by an Addre7sg . sigued by 9,000 Preeholders, such County .Meeting, beinlT, in fat't, nothing more than the asseroblin of a ,mob, and at which even the County Member could not be heard, except through the protection of the Noble Earl. f The Earl of CARNARTON denied that the County Member was 'refused - a hearing, as ha was actually heard out the whole of what..he wooed to ,say. Undoubtedly there were ex= pressions of disapprobation, but not more._ than he had sometimes heard even in . that and the Other House of Parliameht, The Marquess or LiNs-nowN observed, With regard to the assertion of the Noble Duke, 'that there was no necessity for calling the County of Hants together again, that in point of fact there had been. no• previous' meeting. The Address, which, the Noble Doke alluded to, as having been signed by so many individuals, was a cifeti lar, which was sent round ,for-sigeatutes,{ns.Stat ed by his .Noble Friend, and which those - to whom it was sent had no more power tp :alto r than the.
