I 23,315 16,151 1,954 2a7 3,960 4,475 COURT OF CHARLES IL—The new Novel of " Sir Ralph Ether" is considered to be a complete chef d'xuvre in its way. A contemporary (the Morning Herald) observes that " it requires no ordinary effort of imagination to conjure up that brilliant company of ac tors and actresses, in the drama of gallantry and courtly intrigue, which encircled like Orion's belt,' the merry Monarch ; and no common masttry of graphic power to depict with delicate and unaffected touches its constant variation of action and motive, with all the verisimilitude of an actually witnessed scene. Yet this has the author done, emulating his prototypes iu the variety of his matter, sur passing them in a fictitious grouping of incidents, and never forgetting their manner of composition but to excel it." • • MUNDEN'S parsimonious habits very fre quently became the butt of his brother performers. On the night of his farewell, when bowing to and retreating from the audience, be was fearful of his back coming in contact with the wing ; and, in a whisper, frequently asked OXIMMY if he was " near." " Aye, you dog," exclaimed Oxsanicr, " and bare been all your life," IRISH TITHE, Lord CLONCURRY presented a petition from a parish in the county of Meath in favour of the coramutatioa of tithe. Lord KING bad several petitions to present from various parts of Ireland upon the same Subject. He considered the question as much settled as if tithe in Ireland were already abolished. He hoped Government would not commit itself in a contest with the Irish people, in which it would certainly be defeated, for the collection of title, for be knew thlt the people of England would not willingly pay a single shilling for the m iintenance of the claims of the Church of Ireland. The Irish petition he should offer to their Lordships was from a parish of the county of Louth. The Earl of LIMERICK would ask the Noble Lord if he was prepared to give the weight of his character and talents to the lawless destruction of property ? Was ha aware of the extent to which that principle, if once adopted, might he carried ? Anti as the highest- authority of the State had sworn to maintain the rights and property of the Church, was the Noble Lord ready to vindicate or to re commend thi , violation of that oath ?—( Hear, hear.) Lord CLONCURRY supported the petitittn. Lord KING would inform the Noble Earl that be was aware of all the consequences of his doctrine. The in stitution of property was intended to promote the culti• vation of the soil and encourage production, but tithe was an anomalous species of property, inasmuch as it prevented production. His advice to the holders of this kind of property was to make the best compromise they could. The Earl of ELDON would refrain from any discussion of the merits of the Bill intended to carry their project with respect to a new arrangement of the tithe in Ireland into effect until the measure should be before the House. But he would now say to their Lordships in general, " For God's sake, rake care how you deal with acknow ledged pi 'perry." As to the abolition of tithe, the reason why the Nil Lord said, " You shall do it," appeared the best possible reason why they should say " We will not do it." The petitions presented by the Noble Lord had nothing to do with the character or services of any clergy. They desired the total abolition of tithes. He asked their Lordships if they were prepared to submit, in reference to the abolition of any description of property, to be told by any portion of the community that they must do it? A demand so urged was the best reason why they should refuse it.— (Hear, hear.) Lord KING had another petition to present from a parish in the coon.) , of Louth, which applied only to ec clesiastical and not to lay tithe, if this could afford any con solation to the Noble Lord. Lord WYNFORD observed that, if once they touched the right of property, propel ty would go altogether. His object in rising was to say that when the petitioners stated that their object was only the property of the Chinch of Ireland, they evidently misunderstood the suhj et or mi.- represented their own views. There was no Church of Ireland. By the Act of Union the Prote-tant Church in Ireland was inseparably united with and became a sub stantive part Of the Church of England. They must stand or fall together. And if they fed, every thing worth preserving in the country would fall with them.—(Hear.) As a proof of the wisdom of conceding to the wishes of the Roman Catholic party in Ireland, he would adduce the language of an eminent Prelate of their Church, who had stated that if Catholic emancipation was granted they would be perfectly contented to leave the tithe as it was. But this person had now forgotten all he had said, and, he might add, all he had sworn before the Committee of that House. He was now actually exciting disturbance in the country on account of tithe, and there could be no doubt that he was the source of all the disturbance which had taken place upon this subject in Leland. If 'he Irish Church was to fall, the English Church must fall also; and if the English fell, the Monarchy of England roust speedily follow. He believed the very petition now in the hands of the Noble Baron came from the diocese of the person to whom he had alluded. The Mai quis of CLANRICARDE must say that the Irish people were misrepresented by those who described them as desirous of the extinction of Church property as such. They only desired the extinction of tithe as a spe cific grievance. The petition, which was from Old Leigblin, was then laid upon the table. Lord KING said that the argument of the Noble Lord, which assumed that when Irish tithe went English tithe must also go, was not much calculated to add to the secu rity of that description of property in England. Noble Lords did a very bad thing for property in general when they embarked it on the same bottom with the tithe in Ireland, and said that all must go together. He hop , •d and believed that no such consequence was to be appre hended. _ Lord WYNFORD would off•r a single word of ex plana ion in reply to the defence offered for Dr. Doyle by the Noble Marquis. He would not, of course, hold that gentleman responsible for any change which might have taken place in the opinion of others had he not contributed to produce that change. But the fact was, that after swearing that the Roman Catholics of Ireland would he contented with the boon of emancipation, he had ever since that boon was granted, laboured strenuously to make them discontented. . . Lord KING presented a petition from the National Trades' Political Union of Dublin, complaining of the great amount of tithe and the enormous value of Church livings. The Noble Lord stated in detail the contents of the petition, which consisted of an enumeration of the va luable livings in each of the dioceses of Ireland. The Marquis of SALISBURY doubted whether their Lordships could with propriety receive a petition proceeding from an illegal body. On reference to the form of the petition the Noble Marquis withdrew his objection, and the petition was laid on the table. VESTRY ACT. Lord KING presented a petition from the Trades' Union of Dublin for the repeal of the Vestry Act. ANATOMY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the University of Glasgow, praying fur facilities to the study uf anatomy. The NOBLE MARQUIS presented a petition from some place in Ireland, praying that any measure - which might be adopted for this purpose should extend to that country. The Duke of SUSSEX presented a petition from the surgeons of Lancaster, praying that the legal impediments may be removed which obstruct the practice of dissection. EDUCATION—IRELAND. Earl GREY begged to ask the Noble Earl who had given notice of his intention to present some petitions re lating to education in Ireland whether, as the subject might probably occasion some debate, he did not consider it of importance that the Lord Chancellor of Ireland should he present': This he regretted to say, was unfortunately impossible this evening, on account of a domestic affliction. The Earl of RODEN certainly expected a discussion to arise on the presentation of the petitions, and it was in deed with a view to this object that he had given notice of his intention to present them to day. In the circuinstances stated by the Noble Earl he would postpone the pre sentation of these petitions until Monday, when he should call their Lordship's attention to that most important subject, the scriptural education of the people of Ireland. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. The Duke of RUTLAND, in pursuance of the notice he had given, rose to present to their Lordships the im portant petition which he held in his hand. This petition proceeded from the nobility, gentry, magistrates, the owners and occupiers of land, and other respectable inha bitants of the county of Cambridge and the isle of FfY• It was signed by 1465 persons, each of whom bad affixed to his signature his place of residence and prefession. The petitioners offered to their Lordships the expression of their gratitude for their refusal to pass the Bill of last session for changing the constitution of Parliament. They expressed their readiness to concur in favour of a temperate and moderate Reform, and in this sentiment also he had the satisfaction to agree with them. With respect to the new measure of Reform, which was understood to be in progress to their Lordships' House, the petitioners said they would have great difficulty unless considerable alterations were introduced into it, both as to its principles and its details, in persuading themselves that it would be either just or expedient for their Lordships to adopt it. Before he moved that this petition be laid upon the table he would venture to trouble their Lordships with one or two observations. It had been said that no re action had taken place in the public mind upon the ques tion of Refoim. This, at least, could not be said of the dis trict from which the petition proceeded, and, if applied to the country generally, he believed the assertion to be wholly desti tute of truth. If the people had been led astray by the chi merical pro-pect of advantage to arise from a visionary and theoretic Reform, nobody could doubt who riA , cted upon the habitual sobriety and good sense of the people of Eng land, upon their respect and attachment to the Constitution which they had derived from_ their forefathers, and upon their consciousness of the many blessings it had secured them ; that they would return to the dominion of reason at last. "Naturam expellas furca,—tamen usque rccurret." The firm conviction of his mind was that any measure ap proaching to the character of that which their Lordships had so wisely rejected would effect a change in the most valuable institutions of the country, and would prove merely a step preparatory to revolution. Entertaining this opinion he gave his vote against that measure, and be gave it conscientiously. And with respect to another Bill, upon which it was probable that ere long they would be called upon to pronounce an opinion, he had no hesitation to declare that unless it came before them differing mate rially in character from that which their Lordships had permitted to lay so short a time upon their table, he should give it the same determined opposition. And he had the satisfaction of knowing that in this opposition be shourl haveappa,ation, and for its success the earnest good wishes, of the e'reai number of respectable persons who had signed the petition he was about to present.--(Cheers. The petition was read by the clerk. Lord CLONCURRY presented a petition from a parish in Meath in favour of Reform of Parliament. GLOVE TRADE. The Bishop of WORCESTER, in presenting a petition from the glove manufacturers of the city of Worcester against the imporration of foreign gloves, could not refrain from expressing his gratification that so large a number of respectable persons had entrusted him, although the sub ject might be thought not to be within his province, with the representation of their grievances. The Right Rev. Prelate recapitulated at considerable length the statements of the petition, and concluded by stating that, living as he did a great part of the year at Worcester, however he felt his incompetency to do justice to the subject, he could not help expressing his sympathy with the distress which pre ♦ailed among his neighbours. He hoped, hovirever, the subject would be taken out of his hands by some of the Noble Lords opposite, who were better qualified to deal with it. The petition was then laid on the table. LEGAL PROCESS. Lord LYNDHURST, in the absence of his Noble and Learned Friend, the Chief Justice of tie Court of King's Bench, would wove their Lordships to give a first to a Bill which the Noble and Learned Lord had prepared in pursuance of th: , recommendation of the Commissioners of Common Law Inquiry. The object of this Bill was to assimilate the process at the commencement of suits in the three Courts of Common Law in Westminster Hall.—The Bill was then read a first rime. Several Bills were advanced a stage, on the motion of the Earl of SIIAFTESBUItY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY slid that to-morrow being her Majesty's birthday, he moved their Lordships that this House do now adjourn until Monday.—Agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FEB. 23. MISCELLANEOUS. Colonel EVANS present. d a petition from certain me dical practitioners residing in the metropolis, praying for an inquiry into the nature of the disease called cholera inorbus.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. HUNT pre>en•ed a petition from Macclesfield, praying for an inquiry into the tran•actiuns which took e n Slaucf,es<<•r in 1819. Also a similar petition front Oldham —Olll , -red to be laid on the table. Mr. LAWLEY presented a petition from Bedworth, in Buckinghamshire, complaining of the distress of the silk manufacture, and praying for inquiry into the causes. Also I:rur other similar petition 'role other parishes, and one from the Mayor and Bailiffof Coventry. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from certain mail coach proprietors and others on the Holyhead road, com plaining of some Post-office regulations. Sir R. BATESON took that opportunity of complain ing of the inefficient means of communication between Donaghadee and Portpatrick. The two vessels employed were only of 20-horse power, and were frequently unable to stern the tide. Upon a recent occasion oneot them was thus driven upon the rocks, and the lives of the Whole crew exposed to imminent danger. Representations had been made by the Chamber of Commerce of Belfast to the Noble Doke at the head of the Post-office upon the , object ; and the courteous answer they received was that the vesse:s bad before plied between Dover and Calais, and that consequently they must be quite good enough for the passage between Dorrighadee and Portpattick. Colonel CONOLLY confirmed the statement that these communications were frequently interrupted, and con demned the poor economy which, for the sake of saving a few pounds. would thus expose the public to such incon venience, and expose their lives to danger. After a few words from Mr. HuarE and Mr. O'CON NELL, the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. M. CrFERRALL obtained the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the state of the roads and turnpike trusts in Ireland. Mr. FRINGLE moved for returns relating to the Court of Exchcqui.r in Scotland.—Ordered. Lord IiIUGENT moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the General Registration of Births. His object was to establish a Civil Registry of Births, and that at tested certificates of that Registry be received as evidence in Courts of Justice• Mr. O'CONNELL said that some such measure as this would be most th-sirable in Ireland. Mr. CROKER approved of the object of the Noble Lord.—The motion was agreed to. Mr. DAWSON presented a petition from the inha bitants of Chelmsford, praying that they might be allowed to send representatives to Patliainent. The petitioners stated, in support of their prayer, that formerly Chelms ford had the privilege of returning Members. They also stated that as Essex would be divided by the Reform Bill, one division would return right Members, whereas the other, in which Chelmsford, Saffron Walden, and Romney were situated, would return only two Members. The population of the division which would return eight Mein bers was inferior to that of the one which would return two Members. The petitioners also stated that Chelms ford was the county town, and had a population of 5,800 souls. The petition was not agreed to at a public meet ing, but it was signed by between 200 and 300 of the most respectable inhabitants of Chelmsford, A public meeting had been held in the town, but the professed Re formers were adverse to the extension of the franchise to Chelmsford, and on the question being put the " Noes" were by the Chairman of the meeting considered to be !pal. The petition might not be palatable to the ma jority of the House, because it came from Anti. Reformers, but ha appealed to the Hun. Member for Essex as to the respectability of the names affixed to the petition. Mr. WESTERN bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, but of a public meeting lie had heard nothing. After a few words trona Mr. WELLESLEY and another HON. MEMBER, the petition. was brought up and ordered to be printed. CHOLERA. Colonel EVANS called the attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to a petition which he had presented in the early part of the evening respecting the alarm concern ing. cholera morhus. He urged the importance of inquiry. After a few words from Mr. CrtoKEtt, Mr. P. THOMSON considered the conduct of the Hou. Memb e r fur Rye as extremely injudicious. Many ennwrit medical men is ho had examined cases of the Ohs ease attroad declared it to be contagious, while the Hon. and Gallant Member and his seventy-three medical friends declared it nut to be contagious. All, theretore, lie could admit was, th at the question, as to the nature of the dis ease, was d isputed, and a matter of doubt. N o good, therefore, cou l d he effected by the spread of the opiniott of the Ho n . and Gallant Member. No good could result flour it, b u t much mischief might. Even if th i s disease Was arid not to be contagious in this country, foreign cow.. trits would not be satisfied to adopt that notion. Every facility was at present given to our home commerce, and the inquiry wished would not relieve our foreign commerce. After a few remarks from Colonel EvAlis, Sir Lord J. RUSSELL said, that in consequence of what had been said on a former evening by the Right It n. Gentleman opposite, the Member for Aldborougb, respect ing the borough of Ashburton, the Commissioner had been requested to make further -inquiries, and he had accord ingly done so, and had since reported that there were nine teen houses and 191. taxes which might have been included in the estimates respecting that borough. But he (Lord J. Russell) did not think it now of any importance to alter the position of Ashburton in the schedule ; and the additional houses and taxes were not sufficient to take it out of the schedule. Mr. CROKER also bad made inquiries, and found, that although a more extensive boundary might have been taken for Ashburton, yet even that boundary would not suffice to remove it from schedule B. The following boroughs, Ashburton, Eye, and West bury, were then severally voted Nits of schedule B. Mr. CROKER said, that Westbury was inferior to Amersham, which had been voted part of schedule A. lie did not mean, however, to vote now that Westbury should be transferred to the first schedule. Mr. BERNAL said, that it was now toe late for the Right Hon. Gentleman to d►scuss the case of Westbury, as the question had been put and carried that it should stand part of schedule B.—(A laugh.) Wareham (Gloucestershire) was next voted part of sche dule B. The question having been put that Alidhurst stand part of the schedule— Lord J. RUSSELL said, that in consequence of a ques tion put to him on a former night by a Right Hon. Gen tleman opposite, he had made inquiries respecting the boundaries of the borough of Midhurst, and, from the in formation which be had received, lie believed that the Commissioners had done rightly in including the liberty of St. John within the boundary of the new borough. He had further ascertained that if the Commissioner had taken a boundary which would exclude that part of the town, the place of Miolhurst, in the schedule, would be changed, but it would not be removed from the schedule, or reduced to the level of the boroughs of schedule A. Mr. CROKER said that the Noble Lord had mistaken the nature of his objection. Mr. CAMPBELL contended that the same principle had been applied to Appleby as to Alidhurst. Mr. HUNT believed Mitihutst to be one of the most contemptible places, and one of the rottenest boroughs is the kingdom. It was not common justice that such a place should send a Member to Parliament, when Croy don, which contained 12,000 inhabitants, was unrepre sented. He should move, therefore, that Midhurst be transferred to schedule A. Mr. BERNAL said, that it was now too late for tha Hon. Alembtr to take that course. His onl ) course now would be to negative the motion that Midhurst stand part of schedule B. Mr. M. T. SMITH wished to bring the attention of the llouse to this fact, that the five boroughs which had been taken out of schedule A, and placed in the schedule (B) now under consideration, returned Metnbers distin guished fur their uncompromising opposition to the Re lot m Bill. He thought that fact was enough to disprove the charge of partiality, so oiten asserted, or instituted against the Ministers.—(Hear.) The Hon. Member for Preston had said that Midnurst was as rotten as any bo rough i❑ schedule A. Now he (Mr. Smith) could nut conceive any possible extension of boundary which would give Old Sarum or Gatton an adequate constituency, or .iit:eed dny constitutney at all ; w,ereas by enlarging the boundary o. Midhuist, a constituency was obtaimd as fit to exercise the franchise as any other in the kingdom. When he went there first to cane .s the electors for their votes, lie was requested by them to support the Reform Bill, al- Couliga at. tuat rime men borough was set down in bele (lnk, A, and walked out fur distranchiseinent—(Hear, Bear)—and he believed that the spirit of independence and the de,ire for Reform which prevailed in Multiunit, was no less prevalent in the other small boroughs included in this schedule. Mr. CROKER said, how did Midhurst stand in respect to population, when compared with boroughs in schedule A ? It had a population only of 1478, whereas Oakhamp ton had 1500 and upwards ; the disfranchised Aldborough kai 1530, that is 100 mere than the preserved Alidliurst; Fuwty, a large town, with an extensive harbour and a causid. ,able commerce, had 1580 ; Saltash, 1637; Do •. ri t,in, 1657 ; M•nehead, even though curtailed of its natural limits, had a population of 1682. Amersharn, with a population of 1870, and Bradsley, with a population of 2001, were butt, disfranchised, althougn one of them had 600 inhabitants more than the preserved borough of Mid burst; and iNewton, with a population of 800 more than slidhurst, was also to be sacrificed. Taking the book then before them as their guide, he would ask, was it possible for them to see that there was anything so pe culiar in the case of Midhurst as to take it out of the ge ne, al rule ? It aas nut its wealth or its population that formed the ground ot the exception ; but they were told that Miiiburst possessed the groundwork of a good and new constituency; but surely there was no man making a pretension to common sense who would not say that the greater the population the better was the gi ound, ork for a good and newconstituency. The promoters of the Bill, if they proceeded upon any principle whatever, appeared to adopt three elements—the population as pre sumed from toe number of houses, the ten-pound houses, and the amount of assessed taxes. He had in some in stances taken the sum of population, of 101. houses, and of assessed taxes, and he compared Midburst with Newton, and the result of that comparison was anything but fa vourable to the views of the Noble Lords opposite. He had taken the elements which the promoters of the Bill recognised, and applying them to the case of Midhurst, he found they would be represented by the number of 2,509; but Newton was represented by a sum ot 2,797. These where facts which no man could deny, and he alto gether differed from the Hon. Gentleman opposite in the conclusion which he drew from those facts. Lord J. RUSSELL would not reply at much length to the speakers on the other side, for he had no desire to make it necessary that the House should sit on Saturday. The Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down attacked Alidhurst on the ground of population, but there was little consistency in that, for the cry of him and his friends during the discussion on the former Bill was, th.it wealth was the only true criterion, and that boroughs were to be adjudicated for, not according to the number of inhabi tants which they contained, but according to the amount of assexed taxes. In fact, the retention of Midhurst was in consequence of the cry which had been raised about assessed taxes. Mr. CHOKER denied that he bad ever insisted unon the unimportance of population, but argued that, as they had admitted Midhurst, they had opened the door to twelve other places. He complained that their rule was arbitary, and that they bad not applied their own principle accurately. Sir C. WETHERELL complained, that whenever Hon. Members at his side of the House applied themselves closely to discuss the merits of any particular borough, the Noble Lord opposite was accustomed to get up and threaten them with the gloomy day of Saturday. —(A laugh.) He contended that there could not be a greater discrepancy than between the cases of Midhurst and Appleby. Tie announcement that there was to be a liberty added to the borough of Midhurst, was proof positive that even its advo cates knew it was too small to answer their purpose. It was well known that there was scarcely any borough more limited in its borgage tenures than was Midhurst. Lord ALTHOHY disclaimed any wish to prevent the full and fair discussion of the case of any borough by a threat of sitting on Saturday. As to the question then bis , - fore the Com.hittee, he should, without the slightest ale. prehension of successful contradiction, affirm that ti er. was ho one win, took nhe trouble to examine the question, could for a moment doubt that Altuhutst was proper') pl iced ; they estimated its population by its houses, ens its wealth by the amount of the assessed taxes paid. Mr. CHOKER observed, that the conversation of that evening afforded another evidence, if any were wanted, that " the school-master was abroad ;" for whenever in that House they proved unruly boys, they were threatened that Saturday should be no holiday. Colonel COOLLY said, that when the unjust deat sion, which he tuiesaw the H ills,- woo d coin, to on ih t question, went forth to the public, it would excite nutting but unmi ogled indisnation. The question was then put on the borough of Midhurst, and Agreed to; plc? upon, Weecletock, Wiltola,llalsuesbury, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY complained of the vote on this borough being taken, when the papers relative to it had only been laid before the House that very evening. Lord J. RUSSELL —The papers did not appear to him to make any difference as to Dartmouth ; and he, . therefore, did not think tbat it was necessary to postpone the vote. Mr. CROKER—The papers in question had not yet reached him ; and therefore he certainly was not yet ready to give his vote on the subject. s_ Mr. BARlNG—Without at all• knowing what might ' he contained in these further returns, he would take on himself to say, that this case of Dartmouth was one of those which showed the unfairness of the principle on which they were proceeding. Dartmouth was one of the ' old sea-ports of the country ; it had a fine harbour in the Channel ; and, therefore, there were very important inte rests.connected with it : so that it appeared to him to be precisely a place which no real friend of the country would dream of disfranchising. Besides which, he would say that there were dozens of places, now exempt from cor ruption, which, by the operation of this 8.11, would he made perfect nests of corruption. In illustration of this opinion, he might cite,the often-quoted case of Alidhofit. Mr. HOULDSWORTH—He and the Iton. Baronet; who had alluded to the recent appearance of the papers relative to Dartmouth bad always been opposed to each other on this Bill; but, nevertheless, he was quite ready to support that Honourable Baronet in the view that be took of the case of Dartmouth, for he believed it was a place, as regarded its trade and labour, which deserved to be supported. One point worthy of no tice was, that a great defalcation in the taxes of the place had occurred, owing to a man having run away ; and these very papers related to that fact. What they contained he did not know ; for it was only since he had come to that House that evening that they had reached him ; but be cert ►inly bad been told that the" defalcation was sufficient to bring up the borough to the standard which the Noble Lord had set up as adequate for the preservation of the elective right of a borough. With these few words of explanation, he would leave it to the Noble Lord to say whether the borough of Dartmouth ought a it for the present to be postponed ?—(Hear, bear.) Captain BASTARD begged to say, as representing the borough of Dartmouth, that be had not yet seen the pa pers to which allusion had been made: and he trusted that that might be deemed a sufficient reason for requesting the postponement of the question. Lord J. RUSSELL—As he had already stated in nu merous other instances, if there was anything in these papers to alter the complexion of the case, it would be com petent to the Hon. Gentleman to re-introduce the subject on the bringing up of the report of the Committee; but he certainly must say, that he had keard nothing to in duce him to think that they were acting with any un fairness or injustice towards Dartmouth. The only paint that had been stated was, that the tax-collector of the place had run away and not accounted for his re ceipts. Now, if these had been the proper assessed taxes for the place, and that person had persuaded tke tax office that a smaller amount of taxes was correct, there might be something in the objection. But be had been informed from the Tax-office that it was the Sur veyor of Taxes, who had made out the assessment for Dartmouth; and that the collector had taken on himself unduly to increase that assessment; therefore, though this was proof of great dishonesty on the part of the collector, it in no tvise proved that the assessment returned in the lists was a wrong assessment. Since this discovery had been made a fresh levy for half-a-year had taken place, the amount of which was 3701., which, for the year, would give 7401., to which adding supplementary to the amount of 271., the total result would be 7671., and this was the sum stated in the Commissioner's report. It was true that gentleman had received various statements from Dart mouth, but each of these statements differed from the other, and he therefore thought that they could not be very safely relied on. On the 26th January an account had been rendered, which made the number of houses 728 ; and now, from a more recent survey, the number was said to be 767. It was true that, according to the Coininissioner's report, the number of 101. houses amounted to 400; but he understood that this in a great measure arose from several persons living together iu one !louse, the effect of which generally was, that the lent tar► higher than when occupied by only one family or person. For these reasons he did not see why the borough of Dart mouth should be postponed, more especially as its trade was far from being flourishing, a large portion of it having been taken from it by the other places in the neighbour hood. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said, the Government had thought proper to lay down a rule as a guide for the pro ceediugs of the House with respect to distranchisement. With this he by no means found fault ; on the contrary, he thought that it was prudent, for they by that means avoided all suspicion of favouritism or partiality ; but what he contended was, that the borough of Dartmouth did not fall within the scale that had been laid down . Besides which, it was worthy of retnatk that a few months ago, when Dartmouth was not included in the schedules, no invidious allusion bad ever been made to that place as to C tine, and Tavistock, and others, for the purpose of con tending that Dartmouth bad been inq miserly favoured. Dartmouth was a sea-port, with one of the nuest harbours io the country attached to it, into which every year came thousands of tons of shipping ; in addition to this, it was the centre of a considerable district of maritime jurisdic non ; and there were actually belonging to the place up wards of thirty thousand tons of shipping. The report of the Commissioners placed the population at 4 600 ; but he was told that taking into the account the number of seamen belonging to the place, who were constantly on the move, the population might fairly be reckoned at above five thousand ; in which case it exceeded in population thirty-four of the boroughs that under this Bill were still to retain their two-fold repre sentation. Take for instance the borough of L . smington : there the number of inhabitants was but 2,720; so that Dartmouth nearly doubled it in population. He had no• thing to say against the calculations of Lieutenant Drum , monad, neither was he going to mike a mathematical -.speech to the Committee: but he could not help d.tyuting the data of that gentleman, and he could not help thinking that Dartmouth was being hardly dealt with. According to the first list, the number of houses that it contained was 537—according to the second list, 634 ; and when the returning officer was asked the same question, his reply was " 662." These different statements having been made, the inhabitants of Dartmouth had deemed it advisable to employ a surveyor. He bad been sworn to the accuracy of his statement, and, according to him, the nninber of whichhouses o u was c 767—(Hear, hear)--exclusive of all those ld not he strictly termed tenements. Then, if this latter statement was correct, and applying, in Lieut. Drummond's mule, to 767 houses, and 768!. of Assessed Taxes, the product would be sufficiently just to take the borough out of schedule B. But he thought that he could take the matter still further, by examining into the question of the assessed taxes ; though that would be somewhat more complicated. Inquiry had been made re specting the assessed taxes, and these facts had been as• certained. The Commissioners of the Taxes found out, towards the end of 1830, that a fraud had been committed by the collector ; and in a letter which they had addressed to the Tax-office, they had stated, that on inquiry they had found that a fraud had taken place on the revenue to the amount of 200/. and up wards ; that they had already discovered 103 cases of rand, and that they knew that many more existed. And here he would observe, that the Noble Lord had not been quite correct in his statement ; fur it was the collector that tad made the assessment; and the way that he committed , he fraud was, by charging the lull assessment, and then, Instead of returning the full amount to the Tax-office, be only returned a smaller sum; or, in other cases, returning a house as empty, which was full ; by which he was en abled to pocket the difference. He (Sir H. Willoughby) had been given to understand, that it could be proved . ha) !lat n 1829-30, at least 901!. had been paid b y the ants of Dartmouth ; and though it w as true that m as o 1831 32 that the Noble Lor d took fits station, he lion_ mit that 1630 31 was some entecion ; besides which, ' at a similar amount could b e , ie had reit,n to believe shown during the last year, for there Will a letter from the surveyor of lases, w hich stated that the accounts Were not so even complete as on the previous year, and that tin t:fattr
