M PE RIA L PA RLIAMENT THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord TENTERDEN at as Speaker at Five o'clock. Mr. BERNAL, Lord STANLEY, Lord I►loarlTH, and others, brought the following Bills up from the Commons. The Army Prize-money Bill, the :Militia Ballot Sus pension Bill, Thetford .Assizes Removal Bill, and the Bris tol Riots Compensation Bill. GRAVESEND PIER BILL. The report of the Select Committee on this Bill was brought up, and the Marquess of SALISBURY moved that it he agreed to. Earl DARNLEY moved that the Bill be recomitted on the ground that the Committee had not received all the evidence that could be adduced in support of it. The Noble Marquess opposite (Salisbury) had endeavoured to de preciate the importance of the Bill, by telling the Com mittee that it would only be of use to a few market gardeners, who brought up vegetables by the steam-boats from Gravesend to London. The fact was, that last year upwards of 20,000 person. landed at Gravesend from the steam boats, and 40,000 would have done so, had not the better accommo lation for landing at Northfleet induced them to stop at that place, 'lt was attempted to show that the- petition was of no im portance, because two signatures had not been genuine. The petitioners were ready, if an opportunity was afforded to them, to prove the great importance and public utility of the pier. The Noble Lord then moved as an amendment the recommittal of the Bill. Lord BERESFORD opposed it. s The proposed pier would be a decided obstruction to the navigation of the river, and would lead to touch inconvenience. Lord RADNOR rose to support it, and was left speaking. HOUSE OF COMMONS. On the motion of Mr. DUNDAS, the Edinburgh Police Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion o f Mr. BAILLIE, the Bristol Compen sation Bill was read a third time and passed. New write were ordered. to . issue for the borough of Caine, in the room of Mr. Macauley; and for the borough of Cricklade, in the room of Mr. Robert Gordon, who have been appointed Commissioners for the affiirs of India. Mr. STRICKLAND presented petitions from the townships of Heptonstall, Stansfield, Blitchley, Erring dale, Wadsworth, and another the name of which we could not learn, all in the parish of Halifax, complaining of the proposed boundaries of the new boroughs. They stated that the Bill confined the representation to a town ship which consisted of only 15,000 inhabitants, and they prayed' that it might be extended to the whole parish, which would include a representation of about 100,000 persons.—Th e petitio❑ was ordered to be printed. Sir R. FERGUSSON presented a petitio❑ from certain females of Nottingham, praying for an abolition of Colo nial Slavery. Also petitions from Nottingham against the Registry of Deeds Bill ; and one from Kirkaldy, in favour of Reform. Mr. GRATTAN presented a petition from Dublin for an alteration in the police system in that city. The Hon. Member stated that the multitude of wretched pri oners in the gat Is, where they were obliged to lie until it suited the convenience of the Honourable Member the Recorder (Mr. Shaw) to attead his duties in Dublin, occasioned a great expense, and a considerable increase in the burdens of the city. The Learned Recorder ought to be at his post performing his official duties, instead of being in this House ; but he (Mr. Grattan,) hoped that that inconvenience would be remedied by a Reformed Par liament. Mr. SHAW complained that the Hon. Member had not given his notice of his intention to present the present pe tition. He should not, however, receive from him a lesson as to how he was to perform his duties--(Hese)-- either in that House or elsewhere. With respect to grand juries, the Honourable Member had wholly mis represented the facts. He lamented as much as any man that the same persons should so often per form the office of grand jurors, but he believed it arose from the unwillingness of persons to accept onerous duties. With respect to the poor, nobody deplored more than he did the poverty of the city o' Dublin ; the Honour. able Member had recommended him to relieve its poverty by appropriating part of his income. Now, in answer to that, he must state that as great a portion of his income was devoted to charitable purposes as that of the Hon. Member, and he had done so without distinction or reference to party.—(Hear.) With respect to the state of the prisons, he admitted they were bad, and he had taken every opportunity of bringing that matter for ward. The Honourable Member had stated that in consequence of his absence - from Dublin, persons were confined in prison much longer than during the time of his predecessors. Now the very reverse was the fact ; for, by the :returns during that perid, individuals were much longer in prison than at the present moment. He had never suffered his duties in that House to interfere with those of the situation of Recorder of Dublin. There was no department of his Court in which there was a single case in arrear. What, therefore, the Hon. Member had to complain of he could not tell, but this he could assure hint, that if he had not a seat in that House, he should not long hold the situation of Recorder.—(Hear.) Mr. O'CONNELL did not think the Recorder deserved the charges that had been made against his], and he could ❑ot but think that his Hon. Friend opposite was under a mistake, in attributing . what he had done to the Learned Recorder.—(Hear.) He bore testimony to the state ments of that Learned Gentleman, that-there were no arrears in his Courts he could not but. designate the gaol of Dublin as a tremendous job from the beginning o the end, and it was not a fit place for a hog—(Laughter) —much less a human being. He tiusted his Hon. Friend opposite would turn his attention to the Dublin Police Act, is he concurred fully with the petitioners in what they .tated with respect to it. After a few observation, from Mr. GRATTAN, Mr. SHAW, and Mr. LEADER. the petition was ordered to b rinted. Mr. GRATTAN presented a petition from a parisi in Ireland against the Tithe System. Lord KILLEEN supported the prayer of the petition. Lord COLE presented a petition from a parish in Fer managh, against the grant to the College of Maynooth. Captain GORDON presented a petition from Dumfries, against the new plan of Irish education. Also petitions to the same effect from Dewsbury, in Yorkshire ; Rath conney, in the county Cork ; and Glasgow. Mr. DIXON said, he considered any petition coming Irons Glasgow was entitled to his attention, and, if possi ble, to his support. He did not object to any portion of the people of Glasgow making their sentiments known by petition to that House, but the petition now presented did not state facts. The Bible was not to be a sealed book to the people of Ireland, as the peti tioners appeared to have been led to believe. That bad been denied over and over again. ' ' ' Mr. A. JOHNSTONE did not fed that he would br doing his duty to his constituents if he did not declare that the people of Scotland were as able to come to a just con clusion as any HOU. Member in that Hous. Captain GORDON, in answer to the Hon. Member for Glasgow, must say that the plan, as proposed by the Government, was a virtual exclusion of the Scriptures from the people, and though there was a permission to 1 ..rir. 6 . in the Bible to the school.room on certain days ; still that only depended upon the fact of whether the local instructor was a religious man or not. Seeing the Honourable Secretary for Ireland now in his place, he wished to know from him whether those rumours which had agitated men's minds upon this subject were true or not. He understood that a corre spondence had been carried on with persons in Scotland both lay and ecclesiastical, upon the subject, and it had been stated in the general assembly by the Solicitor- General fir Scotland, that the Government would have no objec tion to Scriptural classes being formed in the school for Protestant scholars. Mr. STANLEY was sure that the House must now be tired of this subject. However, he had no hesitation in saying that such a correspondence as that alluded to by the Honourable Member had taken place. The state snents contained in that correspondence were certainly the same as his repeated declarations in that House, that classes for the Scriptures might he formed in every school, to which the Protestants might attend, but that class should be held either before the school conitnenced, or after several hours, in order that Roman Catholic parents might have a security that their children would not be forced into these classes. Their explanations in the correspondence had satisfied those gentlemen of Scotland who had taken an interest in the subject, and he was sure they would satisfy every man but a religious bigot, or one who wished to make this subject the cover for political animosity.—(Hear.) Mr. SHAW disclaimed being either a bigot, or that on any occasion he had been influenced by feelings of a political nature with respect to this subject.—(Hear.) He objected to the plan, because the Protestants were obliged to read the Bible in a sneaking and secret manner. Mr. O'CONNELL said, if the Learned Recorder should not be called a bigot, he was afraid he must be charged with something worse—with a wish to prolong the ill feeling between Catholics and Protestants, by excluding them from being educated together. Sir R. BATESON stated that many individuals of con sideration had already expressed their disapprobation of the system, among whom might be noticed the Presbyterian Synod of Ulster, who said it was contrary to their tenets, and they would not recommend any children of their cot gregation to attend the schools. Sir F. BURDETT said, if the system was intended to be one of national education there should be such an ar rangement as would prevent the Catholic from being su perior to the Protestant, and vice versa, and he did not see how that could be accomplished better than by the plan proposed by the Government. It would tend to di minish religious animosity, and introduce harmony between the parties. After a few observations from Sir R. INGLis and Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. WYSE said it was his intention to have brought forward a motion respecting the Diocesan Schools in Ireland ; but in order not to interfere with the time of the House, and to further the Scotch and Irish Bills of Re form, he would postpone his motion to Monday, the 21st instant. Mr. J. WEYLAND postponed his Bill to consolidate and amend the laws with respect to Licensed Victuallers. till next Session. Mr. PORTMAN rose to bring forward his motion re lative to the detention of John Capes at Jersey, when Mr. LAMB requested him to postpone it, as he w.is in hopes the complainant would be remedied without any dis cussion. Mr. PORTMAN could not consent to postpone the motion unless he clearly understood that Ministers would lay on the tables of the House all papers necessary to eluci date the transaction. Mr. LAMB said that all the papers necessary to elu c i. date the transaction should be laid on the table. Mr. PORTMAN then consented to withdraw his motion. Mr. HUME moved fur a return of the names and rank of every person now employed in the diplomatic ser vice, stating the date of his first appointment, and the several offices he has held, and the actual period of service abroad, and each rank; also a statement of the salary and allowances each received at the present time for the office he now held.---Agreed to. Mr. DUNCOMBE moved for returns relative to the ieensing of theatres. REFORM BILL. The SPEAKER then called upou Lord JOHN RUSSELL who moved the Order of the Day for taking into consideration the amendments made by the Lords to this Bill. The Noble Lord said, that in wishing to move that that House should agree to those Amendments, he could not but congratulate it and the country that the Bill had been re turned unchanged in any of its essential provisions, and there be any doubt that the House would unanimously unimpaired in its efficiency.—(Loud cheers.) The points in which alterations had been made did not call for a long discussion, nor, in his opinion, could agree to ►hem. One of the alterations was in that clause which had been originally introduced by the Honourable Member for Bodmin, for the purpose of preventing the future creation of the freeholders for life. It was thought by the House of Lords that this clause was too restricted, as it prevented some bona fide freeholders enjoying that to which they were entitled. The Noble Lord then went to state some other alterations. The 10th clause had rather been extended than contracted by the amendment of their Lordships. Some alte rations had also been introduced in regard to the register, and a claust which was very important, in consequences of the state in which the Boundary Bill stood, had been added to the end of the Bill, which gave a power not very extraordinary to his Majesty by an Order in Council to fix the dates on which the registration should begin, in place of, as before, fixing it on the 20th of June. With regard to the other parts of the Bill, viz. the schedule, he was happy to state that no alteration had been made. Disfranchisement and enfranchisement were as extensive as ever, and he had the satisfaction of thinking that none of the benefits which the Bill was in tended originally to confer, would be diminished or impaired by any alterations in it that bad taken in it since it left that House.—(Cheers.) The SPEAKER then put the question that these amendments be now read a second time. Sir E. SUGDEN rose, and was left speaking. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNE 4. Mr. DIXON presented a petition from the Shipping Association of Glasgow, praying for the protection of the West India interest. The Hon. Member concurred entirely with the prayer of the petition. Lord DUDLEY STEWART presented a petition from Arundel, praying that that borough might return a Member to Parliament itself, and not be joined with Littlehampton. He said, that the towns were so far distant from each other that they could never be joined, but so near (being in the same trade) that they could never agree. He was persuaded, that if the two towns were joined, the feelings of the people would run so high that no election could take place without riot or bloodshed. Mr. CHOKER had been requested to support the peti tion. He was informed from good authority that there were many churches nearer to the church of Mundt.' than was that of Littlehampton. He hoped than these towns were not joined so as to benefit are particular interest, but it so happened, that by the town of Littlehampton being thrown into the borough of Arundel, the interest of the Duke of Norfolk would there predominate. Lord ALTHORP said, the arrangements made for joining these towns under the Boundary Bill, were made by independent gentlemen, and the boundaries were fixed with reference to no particular interest but that of jus tice. The gentlemen who were Commissioners were in capable of such conduct as that imputed to them by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. CROKER said that the Boundaries Bill was fixed to come on for discussion on Wednesday. He was anxious to know from the Noble Lord whether it would come on that night or not ? Lord ALTHORP at present thought that it would he convenient to bring it in on Wednesday, but if not, there was an open day when it might be convenient for the House to take it. Lord DUDLEY STEWART then presented a petition from the Corporation of Arundel, complaining that that town contained more than 300 ten-pound tenantry, yet Littlehampton had been joined to it, in order to send a Member to Parliament. The Hon. Gentleman said, that the instructions which had been given to the Com missioners, and sanctioned by that House, were, that to no borough of more than 300 101.-houses; should any pa rish he added, except it was immediately contiguous. He considered this as a case of injustice, and hoped the peti tioners would be allowed to make out their case at the Bar of the House, or that it should be referred to a Select Committe. When the Boundaries Bill came before the House, it this clause was not altered, he would give it his most uncompromising opposition. Sir R. VYVYAN hoped that as a case had been assert ed by the petitioners, the Noble Lord opposite (Althorp) would allow them to make out their case at the bar ; if not, lie begged of his Noble Friend to press his motion for a Select Committee, and if lie (Sir R. V.) stood alone, he would press it to a division. Lord ALTHORP thought that the proper time for the discussion of this case would be when the Boundaries Bill was before the House. After a few words from Mr. CROXER, Sir C. WETHE RELL, and Sir M. W. RIDLEY, the petition was ordered to be printed. Lord I). STEWART declared himself as favourable to Reform as he had ever been, and dial not conceive that in opposing one clause in the Boundaries Bill, he was doing any injury whatever to the cause of Reform. He thought Ministers deserved the gratitude of the country for the course they had taken, and only hoped that that great measure, the Reform Bill, would to-night, in another place, be brought to a triumphant conclusion.—The petition was then ordered to be printed. Sir R. VYVYAN understood that it was intended to propose a Bill in one of the Houses of Parliament to enable the Members of Government to find an easier access into that House, and he wished to know whether Ministers intended to give it their support. He also wished to know, in re ference to the petition just presented, whether the Noble Lord, in certain cases, would consent to hear evidence at the Bar, or would refer the matter to a Committee up stairs? Lord ALTHORP stated, it was not the intention of Government to propose any such Bill as the Hon. Baronet alluded to. With regard to the other question, he could not at present pledge himself to any particular course ; but this he would say, that wherever any difficulties occurred, he would give every requisite means of information. Mr. DUNDA S gave notice that he would move the second reading of the Edinburgh Police Bill to•morrow. Lord ALTHORP moved that the Order of the Day for receiving the report of the Ways and Means be now read. Mr. LITTLETON wished to put a question to the Noble Lord, on a subject of great importance, and relating to which lie had presented a petition iuis evening from a Committee of country . .,..okers sitting in London. The Committee prayed to be allowed to offer evidence on behalf of the country bankers, before the Secret Com mittee now sitting on the Bank Charter. And he begged to ask if the Noble Lord would have any objection to such a proceeding ? Lord ALTIIORP said, there was no doubt that it would be necessary to call evidence before the Secret Corn mitte, but he wished to know whether the Hon. Member's proposition was to hear Counsel.—(No, no, from Mr. Lit tleton.) As it was a Secret Committee, he could not consent that Counsel should be heard, but it certainly was his intention to propose to the Committee to receive such in formation as the country bankers could give. Mr. LITTLETON expressed himself satisfied with the Noble Lord's answer. Mr. GOULBURN was desirous of ascertaining at what period the Noble Lord intended to call on the House to make provision for the civil charges of Govern ment. At the commencement of the present reign, the House, in reply to the King's speech, expressed its readiness to provide the necessary charges of the Civil Governmen', and to maintain the honour and dignity of the Crown. The Crown had been provided for, and after a lapse of 18 or 19 months, it appeared that not one step was taken to provide for the Civil Government. The subject was very important, inasmuch, as instead of providing for the Judges, the Ambassadors and other high officers, there had been only small votes on account. Lord ALTHORP put it to the candour of the House and the country whether the peculiar circumstances in which he had been placed did not excuse him from any apparent neglect.--(Hear, hear.) He felt it necessary that the question should be settled as early as possible, and he apledged d be, du coulhimself thatt present it Session. should be settled, as far Sir ROBERT PEEL said, that at the commencement of the present Session, the Crown had recommended the establishment of a municipal police throughout the country, to prevent a recurrence of the scenes which had taken place lately in Bristol ; and the House, in their reply, assured the Crown that they would direct their earliest attention to the subject. He withed to ask whe ther the views of Government had been altered by any local obstructions, or whether it was still intended to bring some such measure forward ? Lord ALTHORP could not pledge himself as to the period when he should bring the motion forward, but could assure the House that the question was in a state of forwardness. Mr. WYNN - ivished to know from the Noble Lord opposite, whether any measures were in progress to enable his Majesty to incorporate the new boroughs under the Act now in progress ? If any such measures were about to be adopted, he thought it was but right that they should be laid before the House. Lord ALTHORP said, that from the wording of one of the clauses of the Bill, it was necessary that some such measure should be taken, but he could not say whether these measures would be taken during the present Session. Mr. IRVING wished to know whether the Noble Lord had, as yet, made up his mind to adopt any mea sures for carrying the report of the West India Commit tee into effect? Another question be wished to put to the Noble Lord was, that a Committee being now sitting to inquire into the state of the slaves in the West Indies, whether it was the intention of Government, during the sitting of that Committee, to suspend the Orders of Council issu e d on the 23d of November ? Lord ALTHORP said, that-with respect to the first question he would not give any answer. With respect to the Orders in Council, they were law in the Crown co lonies, and would not be interfered with ; but in theother colonies they could not be persevered in during the sitting of the Committee. _ _ Mr. BARING, on the motion for bringing up the report of the Ways and Means Committee, wished to know whether it was the intention of the Noble Lord to bring in any Bill this Session with respect to the Rus sian loan ; and he also wished to know whether it was true that this country was under an engagement for a considerable sum, for the purpose of placing a Ger man Prince on the throne of Greece: Lord ALTHORP said, with respect to the latter question, one of the grounds on which the Russian loan bad been defended was that Russia' had not admitted the separation was complete. Since that period, however, she had admitted the separation. Another convention, how ever, had been made between Russia and this country ; the subject of that convention was not yet ratified, when it was it would be laid on the table of the House, and then such measures as were necessary would be brought forward. Till that period, the payment of the Dutch Russian Loan would be suspended.—(Hear, hear.) — With respect to the other question, it was one relating to negotiations not yet completed, and therefore he trusted the Hon. Member would not press the subject. Mr. HERRIES expressed his satisfaction at hearing the new decision of submitting this question to Parliament, and that the payments of the loin till then were sus pended. That was something gained by the discussion to which he had given rise, though the majority decided against him. He rose, however, to enter his protest against what the Noble Lord stated as the ground of the opposition to the motion.—(Hear, hear.) On the part of the Government the line taken was the ground assumed by the Law Of f icers, that the separation had taken pl ce. He admitted that one person on the side of the Govern ment had made use of the argument that the separation was not complete as far as Russia was concerned ; but the ground laid down by the Law Officers, on which all their arguments were founded, was, that the separation was com plete. Lord ALTHORP—The Right Hon. Gantleman ad. mitted that one person had made use of that argument, and that one person was the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.--(Hear, hear.) The argument used by the Law Officers undoubtedly was, that the separation was complete as far as this country was concerned, but that the separa tion was not complete for Russia, who had never acknow ledged it. Mr. CROKER reminded the Noble Lord that the Se cretary of State for Foreigr. Affairs only made u,s of that argument in his reply at the close of the debate. Then he did not insist on it, but only threw it in as a make weight, if it were necessary to assist other arguments which the Noble Lord described to be irresistible.—(Hear.) The report of the Committee of Ways and Means, grant ing 4,000,0001. from the Consolidated Fund, was brought up, read, and agreed tn. REFORM BILL (SCOTLAND). Lord ALTHORP moved the Order of the Day for the House to resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House on the Reform of Parliament (Scotland) Bill. Sir J. WALSH took that opportunity of stating, that as he found his intention of giving Members to the Uni veraities of Scotland was not likely to meet very efficient support, he meant to abandon it. Mr. C. FERGUSSON complained that the Bill enacted no qualification for a Member representing a Scotch county. The LORD ADVOCATE said that he thought that that was a very inconvenient time to discuss that subject. If thought necessary, a clause could be proposed on bring ing up the Report on the Bill. Sir G. CLERK observed, that the Learned Lord did not seem to know much about his own Bill; for clause 35 required that a Scotch county Member should have a heritable estate of 5001. a-year. The Howe then went into Committee on clause 6. Sir G. CLERK objected to this clause, on the ground that it disfranchised those who had purchased their votes, and which purchase had been recognised by the law of Scotland ; in which respect the Scotch Reform Bill differed from the English, because the latter had to deal with bo roughs, the mode of voting in which was punishable if detected to be such as described by the advocates of the Bill. He wished to call the attention of the House to a passage that appeared in the Edinburgh Review, which no doubt would pass for very great authority with the Learned Lord. That passage stated that whatever Reform toak place, care should be taken to leave all existing rights untouched.—(Hear, bear.) But the present Bill alto gether extinguished existing rights, or at least so increased the franchise that the whole character of the former state of things was destroyed. Under these circumstances, it was his intention to move for the omission of this clause altogether. Mr. C. BRUCE supported the same view. This Bill, if allowed to pass in its present state, would give a violent blow to the rights of the people. When the English Bill was proposed, Hon. Gentlemen complained of its making their hair stand on end ; and with respect to the Scotch Bill, he might say, that its effect was Vox faucibus pceit." Hitherto the law of Great Britain had always respected property; but in this Bill, which was to be the panacea for all evils, the greatest of all evils was committed—that of violating the rights of property. He was aware, that it was unpopular to ask fur compensation for this Reform measure ; but he must risk that imputation in this case, for be was fully convinced of the justice of making com pensation for that which was taken away. It was said that elections ought to he pure. He granted that ; but the condition by which the use of the privilege was regu lated had no necessary connexion with the means by which it was transferred. He could cite a similar case in English law. The purchase of an advowson had nothing to do with simony—it was very distinct from simony; and it seemed to him that exactly the same considerations applied to the purchase and the use of the right of voting in Scotland. Neither could he admit the proposition, that because a law was pe.ssed for England, a similar law was required for Scotland. He could not admit this, and former Parliaments had not admitted it, as might be seen by reference to the One-pound Note Circulation, and to the Cholera Prevention Bill, in which the Scotch Mem bers properly insisted on a recognition of Divine Provi vidence being inserted. These were two instances; and he heartily hoped that the Government would allow the Reform measure to be a third, as he was well persuaded that the present Bill, instead of conferring a benefit, would be inflicting an evil in Scotland. Mr. R. FERGUSON said that no claim to compensa tion for the loss of the superiority votes could be fairly set up, since, in point of fact, their real value was nothing. The parchments might, at some future period, become valuable to the antiquary; and would, probably, be hung up in the libraries of the Baronial Halls of their de scendants, as a curious exposition of the ancient political system of Scotland. The LORD ADVOCATE supported the clause, and contended that the value of the superiority votes was merely nominal ; formerly their value was real; it depended on property held of the Crown of the annual value of forty shillings, or feudally of the value of 4001. Scots. But they had long since been separated from property, and were sold separately. If any one superiority should be found to contain property of 101. yearly value, the owner of that superiority would, of course, still continue to pos sess his vote. It was absurd to talk of compensation under such circumstances ; the proprietors of the boroughs in schedules A and B were just as much entitled to com. pensation as the owners of superiority votes. Mr. PRINGLE supported the claim of possessors of superiorities to compensation; many persons had given ,money value for their purchase, on the faith of their re ' cognition by the existing law of the land. Mr. J. CAMPBELL said, he should not detain the House upon this subject : he thought the other House had set them a noble example by disposing in three days of that which had cost them so many pangs to part with. (Cheers, responded to by cries of Hear, hear! from the Opposition benches.) Indeed he hoped that at the moment he was speaking, the Reform Bill had become the law of the land. The superiority votes were quite distinct from land or property, they were of no real or intrinsic value, and therefore ought not to be represented. Hitherto pro perty had been unrepresented, but this would no longer be the case, the principles of this Bill being that property should be represented. Lord LOUGHBOROUGH contended for the right to compensation. Mr. KENNEDY thought it monstrous at this time of day to talk of compensation, and he should not trouble the House with any arguments on the point, for he thought his Honourable Friends opposite could scarcely be serious. The votes differed very much in value. He had given 501. For votes, but he knetv others who had given 2,5001. and he should like to know what ratio of compensation they could fix on under such circumstances. Sir GEORGE WARRENDER admitted that the idea of compensation for the superiorities was entirely out of the question. Air. HUME was of opinion that there could be no de parture from the principle of the Scotch Bill or from that general principle of Reform to which the House was pledged, if they omitted the clause altogether. In the English BA: they bad preserved the rights of freemen, and he saw no reason why they should not extend the same privileges to the holders of superiorities in Scotland. Lord ALTHORP could not consent to the omission of the clause. In arranging a new Constitut;on, it was a most desirable thing that they should not lend themselves to the preservation of fictitious votes ; besides, all the holders of superiorities would have a vote for property elsewhere. After a few words from Mr. DixoN in support of the clause, and from Sir C. FORBES against it, Sir GEORGE MURRAY said he thought the Member for Middlesex bad in this instance taken a perfectly ri A ht view o f t h e case , an d b e wou ld support an amendmtnt tor the omission of the clause. I Air. C. GRANT eupportid the deuce, and observed 1 , •. hat be made as great sacrifices in favour of Reform by he destruction of the right of ti t ng 410)4. 4111,7iPritir ..o s any man_ .in Scotland. P! , After a few words from the Loal..!.lartaceTA lA RAE, the clause w.a13,91-4ered...to,,taiAkilltipthe Thl without a di v i s i on . • • The seventh clause was then moved. Sir W. RAE objected to this clause for its .. f c.urpxit),.; and contend e d lik ew i se , t h at i ts e ff ect would be, to oxc ! - power the landed interest in all places,wherc manufaetukss were established. As there was to he a new arrangement for Scotland, they ought to attend to the interests of the landowners; and grant, as in England, additieval Members to the counties. The LORD-ADVOCATE defended the provisions 91 the clause. The clause, with some verbal amendments, was agreed t [lt was understood that the English Reform .Bill had been brought down from the Lords, and, that the Loris' Messengers were in waiting to present it.] Mr. Alderman WOOD moved that. the. Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. This motion occasioned a great outcry among tbeScottli Members, and several among them rose together to op pose it. Lord ALTHORP said, he knew the object whielt the Hon. Alderman had in view in making this motion, and the cause of which gave him fully as much plc sure as it could give the lion. MeMher ; but he trusted that the motion would not be persevered in, as it would occasion some inconvenience to have the progress of the Scotch Re form Bill in the Committee interrupted at this moment. Sir ANDREW JOHNSON, who spoke amidst great confusion, said that he objected to any unnecess.ry delay, and that so great was the excitement about the Re form Bill in Scotland, that the Scotch Members would have no peace till it was passed. He trusted that no need less delay would be thrown in the way rif;the,Bill passing speedily.—(Loud cries of Divide, and No.) Lord ALTHORP certainly did not wish the House to divide upon this subject, but they must do so if the Hon. Alderman determined to persevere in his mot i on, was to be hoped he would not. Sir R. PEEL had more confidence in the judgment of the Noble Lord than in that of the Honourable Alderman, and if the House did divide on this motion, he should cer tainly divide with the Noble Lord.—(Divide, divide—go on, go on. Lord ALTHORP hoped that the House'tvould not, on account of any temporary feeling, however 'gratifying in itself, adopt any course that would unnecessarily delay the progress of the Reform Bill. At the same time he wished to observe, that if it should Lc cound impo'ssible for them to obtain the attention of the House till the tem porary adjournment had taken place, they must adjourn, as it would be the course that would occasion the least delay. Air. DICKSON thought it extremely disresPectful to the Scotch to interrupt this measure, and he, for one, would divide the House fifty times rather than suffer it. Sir C. FORBES found fault with the manner in which the Scotch Reform Bill had been treated in that House. If the Members were not prepared to give it their atten tion, they might as well adjourn to receive the Message which he understood had been sent down'to them from the other House. However, he hoped that they would go on with the Scotch Reform Bill, and not lose the opportuniT of considering it upon the 4th of June, the anniversary of the birthday of our late most gracious Sovereign George 111. Lord ALTHORP was surprised at the observations of the Hon. Baronet, especially when he considered what had been the course adopted by the Hon. Baronet with respect to Reform. Sir G. WARRENDER—As a friend t f the 'Sctitai Reform,—(hear, hear, and oh !)—he was a friend of the Scotch Reform Bill, though he was Opposed to the other, —(hear, hear,) —and, as a friend of the'Scotch 'Reform Bill, he would not consent to this motion, which would unnecessarily delay it. Mr. Alderman WOOD denied that he had any wish (3 interfere with the progress of the Scotch Reform Bill. All he wished was, that the liodse should have the grid. fication of receiving the English Reform Bill, which was now ready to be presented to them from the other House ; and he could not concieve why he should he suppesed cite less about the Scotch Reform Bill, merely because he . wished them to adjourn for ten minutes for the purpose he had . mentioned. The Motion was then withdrawn. The Clauses seven, eight, nine and ten, after 601/IC merely verbal amendments had been made, Were agreed t o . Clauses 11 and 12 were also agreed to, after a few of.- servations. The House resumed, and The CHAIRMAN having reported progress, obtained leave to sit again. REFORM BILL FROM THE LORDS. The SPEAKER having been informei by the Sageat. at Arms that there was a Message front the Lords, put the question that the messengers be called in ? Mr•. STUART WORTLEY telt it to be his duty to protest in the most solemn manner against the mockery that had been enacted in the other House. He had no hesitation in asserting that this was not a Message from the House of Lords-(Laughter)—Ind as such he protested against it. The question for calling in the messengers was then agreed to. Two Masters in Chancery made their appearance-at the table of the House, and delivered several Rills, as agreed to by the Upper House, and, among others, the English Reform Bill, agreed to wi!ll amendments. Lord ALTHORP moved the Lords' amendments lie taken into consideration this day.—Agreed to. Lord ALTHORP then moved the Lords' amendments be printed. Culonti SIBTHORPE again gave his decided opposition to the Bill in all its parts.—(Coughing). Honourable Gentlemen who coughed did not understand the Bill.— (Coughing.) He did not, however, include the Noble Lord in that accusation. The Noble Lord never coughed, ind never sneered ; but nevertheless he must object to taking the amendments so early as proposed by the Noble Lord.—(Hear.) Mr. HUME suggested that the Bill ought to be printed as well us the Amendments. Lard ALTHORP said that that would delay the mea sure ; and he thought that if the Amendments were printed with references to the Bill, they would be perfectly comprehensible.—(Hear, hear ) Mr. HUME ob,erved that he should be sorry to propose ;my thing that should delay the Bill for a single moment.— Motion agreed to. NORWICH ASSIZES BILL. Mr. R. GRANT moved the third reading of the Nor wich Assizes Bill. Mr. BARING moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day six mouths. Mr. R. GRANT contended, that the removal of the Assizes was a matter of public expediency. Sir R. PEEL opposed the Bill, on the ground that it was inconvenient for that House to interfere with the de cision of the Judges. Mr. HUME supported the Bill, which be said was celle I for by the whole county of Norfolk. Lord ALTHORP said, that Parliament had in forme' eases interfered with the decision of the Judges respecting the places in which the Assizes should be held, and he thought that, in the present instance, there was nothing disrespectful to the Judges, in the course which the House was called upon to take. Mr. CAMPBELL supported the Bill. Mr. R. COLBORNE was opposed to any interference vith the Judges in questions respecting which they were most competent to decide. Mr WEYLAND thought it was most astonishing that the people of Norfolk, who had petitioned for this measure over and over again, should never have their wishes grati fied. It was very strange that there should be no means of removing the Assize unless the Judges pleased. He .upported the Bill. Sir ROBERT INGLIS opposed the Bill. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. FORGERY. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that he would, on Thursday se'nnight, bring in a Bill relative to the punishment for forgery. On the motion of Si; JAMES GRAHAM, a new writ was ordered to be issued for Taunton, in the room of 11.1 r. Labouchere, who has accepted the office of one of the Commissioners of the Affairs of India. The other Orders of the Day were then dispost d of, and at a Quarter-past One the House adjourned. ,1 ~..;~ .r ~.., HOUSE OF LORDS, JUA*O 4.
