EDITOR—I perceive it has been thought proper that my last communication in reply to iEouus should not be admitted in your Paper. If I said any thing with an asperity unbecoming a reply to such a Letter as the last of "Equus, I am sorry for it ; but it must be recollected that one individual very frequently has feelings as quick and sensible as another and can ill brook to have a controversy upon a public question perverted for the purposes of applying personal abuse.— Such hitherto never was exhibited in your Paper, or permitted to any party. It is the advocate of a weak cause who is guilty of these perversions intentionally, and renders that personal, by ap-. plying to his private character observations which are made from just inferences drawn from his communication and intended as only charac teristic of the Letter. But lam satisfied; and shall only observe that the whole of i - Equus's Reply to my last communication is contained in the fol ltiswing quotation :—" Of the facts so quoted," contained in his last letter, " I am well convinced, by my own observation ; and no man, much less an anonymous Correspondent, for the first time of his introduction, can have any right to call for authorities, nor will I ever bring forward indivi duals to bear witness to a fact, even though it were not so notorious." This, Mr. Editor,ls the sum of JEquus's answer to my reply ; the rest of his Letter applies solely to F. D. for it was not I who impugned the conduct of Bishop Marsh ; I al luded to no particular individuals; it was not I who interfered with, or gave any opinion upon i the doctrines or the conduct of the Church ; with these points I never meddled ; it cannot be said I did so; in fact, with no one point that this last letter of Equus embraces, had my reply any thing to do. As an humble individual, amidst the torrent of defamation which was poured down upon the Evangelical Clergy by ./Equus, without any mercy, I did throw myself in its way, if not to stay it altogether, to stem its vio lence ; in this endeavour, I affirm, I have suc ceeded, for as to the main point for which I con tended, it remains unanswered. I have, I trust, given shelter to " some who have slided into the BOSOM of The Church," from which it is not dared openly to drag them. It was for this object I answered .iEquus when perfectly an anonymous correspondent; and if not to invite him to a dis passionate reperusal of his letter and discussion of the question in the light I placed it, to give that satisfaction to the Evangelical Clergy, which it cannot be denied that they merit, when an ano nymous correspondent would obliterate, without hesitation, whatever degree of credit may be due to them ; a credit, indeed, which has been gained through ill-judged persecution. In no in stance did I allude, in the most distant manner, to Bishop Marsh, neither had I wished to do so, would I have introduced my slander in a dark allusion to "some who have slided into the bosom of the Church." To be heated, because my opponent is at any time superior to me eventually in the goodness of his cause, is not my inclination, is not my practice, though it may be my nature to resent personalities. I accused not /Equus of bigotry ; I did not desire or intend to do so, however prejudiced he may really be. I cau tioned him against indiscriminate accusation and intemperate animosity. As to' the main ques tion which my letter had in view, namely, the propriety of Dissenting Institutions, iEquus can not assert with truth that I advocated such. I left that question for future discussion, without giv ing my-opinion one way or the other. To per ceive so fluent a writer as ./Equus, one whose hand can grasp the necessary weapon for contro versy skilfully and effectually, to see such a one blinded by his anger, and overcome with gentle ness and truth, cannot be a source of gratifica tion either to those for whose cause he stands forward an advocate, or to any impartial Reader of your Paper. With /Equus I shall not re sume the discussion of this subject ; but, Mr. Ed itor, I trust, that as you have hitherto so honestly held the scales of Justice, you will continue so to do, and when a temperate and just exposi tion of any of your Correspondent's communica tions is presented to your notice, that yQU will not exclude it, if it comes from, Your obedient Servant, JUSTUS.

PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LQ,RDS, 'rxiur.sn,ty, JULY 4. The House met at half Past:. four o'clock this day. Mr. Cliff presented the Annual Account of the St. Nicholas Bay Company.-,Ordered to lie upon the table. The Exchequer Otilces (Ireland) Bill, and the Welch Coals Bill, wet e read a third time, and passed. The Land Revenue (Ireland) Bill passed through a Com mittee, and was reported without Amendment. Petitions against. the Corn Importation Bill were presented by Lord Erskine, from the neighbourhood of the New Forest, Hants; from Dunmow, Essex; five from Cornwall; and one from Northumberland.—Ordered to lie upon the table. The Fire- per Cents.. Contracts Bill was brought up from the House of Commons by :11r. Brogden and other Members, and read a first time. The Earl of LAUDERDALE gave notice of his intention to move the second reading oh the Juries (Scotland) Bill on Tuesday. cOADIERCE WITH SOUTH AMERICA. The Marquis of lAA NSDO WN said, he had intended, if the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury had been in his place, to have asked an important question respecting our Commercial Relations with the States of South America ; but the Noble Earl not being present, he proposed to ask the question either to-morrow or on another day. Adjourned till to-morrow (this day.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir A. CHICHESTER presented a Petition from the In habitants of Belfast, praying for the total Repeal of the Salt Tax. On the motion of Mr. K. DOUGLAS, a new writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a Member to serve in Parlia ment for the county of Wigton, in the room of Mr. H. Blair, deceased. PUBLIC CREDIT. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented a Petition from certain Freeholders of the County of Kent, expressing their disappro bation of that part of the Petition lately presented from the county, which prayed for a reduction of the interest paid on the National Debt. The, present petitioners admitted that they were distressed, but spurned with indignation the idea that their sufferings could so far pervert their judgment, and induce them to abandon their moral principles, as to advocate a mea sure which, if carried into execution, would prove the destruc tion of the public credit. Mr. SKEFFINGTON presented two Petitions from Mr. Bourne and Mr. Johnstone, Clerks of the Crown for the north and north-western Circuit of Ireland, against the Irish Grand Jury Presentments Bill. Mr. H. G. BENNET presented a Petition from Mr. Le Merchant, of Guernsey, complaining of the inefficient admi nistration of the laws of that island. After a few words from Mr. B. BATurnsT, the Petition was ordered to be printed. Sir J. NEWPORT presented a Petition from the Inhabit tants of St. Nicholas, Dublin, praying for a repeal of the As sessed Taxes. _ _ Mr. C. HUTCHINSON supported the prayer of the Pe tition. The Excise Licenses' Act Repeal Bill was read a. first, and ordered to be read a second time to-morrow. RETAIL TRADE IN BEER. Mr. BROUGHAM asked leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law touching the retail trade in Beer.—Leave was granted, and the Bill was brought in and read a first time forthwith: LORD CHIEF BARON OF IRELAND. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose for the purpose of asking the Hon. Member for Limerick (Mr. S. Rice) to post pone his resolutions respecting the conduct of the Lord Chief Baron of Trettinct He thought that, under all the difficulties of the subject, the postponement of the Hon: Member's motion would best answer the Jtistice of the case, and would be mast satisfactory to the Lord Chief Baron who was implicated by it. He made this application to the Hon. - Member because Parlia ment would be obliged to dispose of the subject one way or another, if it were brought before it during the present session. Besides, the matter itself was in that situation that there was no prospect of Parliament being able to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion before it was prorogued. The Noble Marquis then stated several circumstances to convince the House that it had not a sufficient knowledge of the case to enable it to form a pro, per decision, and particularly dwelt upon the fact of certain documents regarding it not having been laid upon the table till within the last six or seven days. In conclusion, he pressed uptin the Hon. Member for Limerick the necessity of postpon ing his resolutions, as a measure of a judicial nature might, in all probability, originate from them. Mr. S. RICE agreed to the suggestion of the Noble Marquis, but on the express understanding that, if Government did not take up the task in the interim, he should be prepared to bring it forward in the next session upon grounds of public duty. PETITION OF THE CALCUTTA BANKERS. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that in opening the case of the Pe titioners, he should be saved the trouble of narrating the cir cumstances of their petition in detail to the House, by the state ment which he had made regarding it on a former evening. The claim of the petitioners arose out of a loan made by thean to the Government in India, on the security of the territories of Oude, The money so advanced was borrowed to pay certain subsidies to the East India Company, and being so paid came • into its coffers. The territory upon which the money was ad vanced had since been partitioned, and half of it had come into the hands of the East India Company. Though the revenue of the territory thus acquired br the East India Company amounted to 3,000,0001. sterling, they refused to pay the debt claimed lat the petitioners. As the petitioners were thus de , fronded of all means of redress and repayment, and as they could obtain no relief from the Courts in India or in this coun try, owing to the sovereign!) , of the East India Company, they were obliged to seek for justice in the power and wisdom of Parliament. To show the justice of the claim made by the petitioners, Mr. Brougham read extracts from the dispatches of several of the Governors-General of India, and, particularly relied upon a letter from the Marquis Wellesley. After seve ral observations upon them, he concluded by moving that a Committee be appointed to inquire into the justice of the claim of the petitioners, and to report their observations thereon to the House. Mr. ROBERTSON opposed the motion; but was 'for the most part inaudible in the gallery. We understood him to say that the money had been lent at a most extravagant and usuri ous rate, and to deprecate the interference of Parliament to compel the payment of it. . Mr. WETHERELL supported the motion, and contended that the loan had not been contracted upon usurious terms. Mr. HUME dissented altogether from the view which his Hon, and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham) had taken of this case. Instead of looking upon it as matter fit for public in quiry, he thought it, both according to principle, precedent, and practice, 'a private , subject, and to be settled between the individuals who were affected by the claim, and the party against whom it was made. Lord Cornwallis had Icing since declared that the Government ought not to interfere with mat ters of private debt in India ; and had the Miirquis Wellesley (as was insinuated by the reference to his private letter)con sidered. the present subject fit for public interference, he had had abundant opportunities, while Governor-General of India, of promoting inquiry into the transaction. The Hon. Member then adverted to the manner in which the prisate affairs and transactions of the native Princes in India had been conducted, and explained the manner in which business was Conducted among them ; and said, that if the House tolciated an inquiry into this case, they Would next session have no time, even if they sat through the whole of the ensuing year, for anything else than considering applications of a similar nature respect ing matters of private account in India.. He should therefore most decidedly oppose the motion.—(Hear.) Mr. PRENDERGAST said, that in the pecuniary trans actions in which he was engaged in India, aria to which allu sion had been made, instead of being remunerated for his losses, he was left a severe sufferer. For his own part, he had been obliged, on the principle that htilf a loaf is better than none, to accept one half of his claim in lieu of the whole. He was compelled to abandon the other moiety, to which he was equally well entitled, on every principle of equity and right, to the Vizier. From this statement, the House might judge of the fairness and correctness with which an Honour able Member (Mr. Hume, we believe) had stated that he (Mr. Prendergast) was the only claimant who had received full compensation. Before this discussion terminated, he would take the liberty. of 'moving that' the papers connected • with his own case be laid before the House. Mr. G. SMITH (as we understood), having been appealed to, felt'it his:duty' to bear his testimony to' what he believed to be. the just claim of his Hon. priend•who had last addressed the House. • His case, he thought that Hon. Gentleman had clearly established. ' -•- Mr. ASTELL thought - that no:Statomenthad been made by or on behalf of-the East India Company, with regard to the subject now under consideration, which was. not amply borne , out by the official documents before the House. If the - House consented to entertain this petition, there would be no end to petitions of a similar nature from the representatives of those who might formerly have supposed themselves to possess claima of D r is . nature, ijzsi whic h they had ged since vc a t b o ar s i a d y tTed that . he had as yet formed noopinion upon the , particular merits of the case; but undoubtedly, a prima /Me case of "inquiry was laid in this pe tition. Among other matters, tending to found such a cas e , the petitioners relied on this--t hat from the year 1787 to 1793 the interest upon their debt had been regularly paid. That cir. ,• cumstance alone afforded some, though perhaps not an unan swerable, presumption, that theirs waa in fact an equitable claim s There were three classes of creditors of, the Vizier—European creditors, of course subject to our Government ; IlindoO credi tors, subjects of the Vizier ; and Hi n d oo cre dit ors , su bj ects o f our Government.' The latter .felt that though they were not Christians; ye; as being subjects within the territories of the East India Company, they had as much right to demand ins , tice at the hands of this Government as 'if they were British- born subjects- (Hear l),-and nothing was more important in the case than this circumstance ;.for the foundation of the Com• pany's power, and of their influence over the natives of India, was the equal administration of justice between al/ the various classes of their subjects.—(Cheers.)—The security of their do minions and their own character alike required that such an ad. ministration of justice should be ever carefully maintained.— The East India Company, on this occasion,were certainly placed 'in no ordinary situation.. These sums of money were advanced on what was said to be due from the Vizier to the Com pany. That was one of the - allegations advanced on the one hand, and denied on the, other. When this Vi z i er died, the House wcre told the East India Company appoint ed his successor ; and in consideration of investing him with the territories which had been governed by his predecessor, the Company entered into a n agreement w i t h hi m , b y which he took upon himself the payment of the .debt due from the for mer Vizier, although he could not otherwise have been his re presentative in this matter. By another contract, in 1798, the Company took under their own dominion one half of the Vi zier's territories, as an acquittance for this debt. Now, on this statement of the question, it would seem that the Company • could not be justified in refusing to meet the claims of the peti.. tioners; for, in - the case of a private person accepting the assignment of an estate as the consideration for monies by him advanced, it would not be competent to Min to refuse dis charging the incumbrances taken with the estate; but, on the contrary, such an assignment would stand good in any Court of Equity. Still, however, he (Mr. Plunkett) . begged to be • understood as not yet having formed any opinion on the merits of this case. H e w as m ere ly s h ow in g that something like a prima facie ground was laid for the application., He was bound to vote for the Committee, because, this being a claim of so peculiar a nature, there was no other way in which the pe titioners could apply for redress but through this House.— , (Hear ; hear! Mr. W. WIGRAM, in a low tone of voice ; defended (as we understood) the conduct of the East India Company. The Company ought not to be -called on .in this matter. It was nothing more than an account between the Vizier and the parties who had been thus concerned with him. The Vizier alone, or his representative, could be answerable for it.. Mr. P. MOORE was astonished that the Hon: Gentleman, who was the professed agent for the petitioners, could for a moment have been induced sa, far to sanction their petition as to bring it forward. The lion. Gentleman proceeded shortly to state what he considered to be the facts of the case. In con clusion, he thought that the House had no judicial authority, and therefore voted against the Committee. Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON did not mean to say that the Company ought to pay the debt; but he thought that there were parts of It to which they might be liable. What part they ought to bear, and what p a rt they o ug ht not, h e hoped to learn from the report of the Committee. Mr. W. WYNN thought there was such a prima facie case made out as justified the house in going into a Committee. The claim, it should be recollected, was not for services per , formed, but for money actually lent. Captain MABERLY thought the claim could not be sup. ported. Mr. MONEY was most anxious that justice should be done; but on looking at the papers already before the House, he thought the main allegations of the petition were disproved. Dr. PHILLIMORE would have voted against the Com• mittee, it he could have seen that the statements of the petition stood disproved ; but after looking attentively at the documents before the llouae, lie did not feel competent to determine whe ther the claim was or was not established ; and therefore he should vote for farther inquiry. Mr. GEORGE SMITH was against the Committee. Mr. RICARDO thought that the Right Hon. President of the Board of Control could not have sufficiently attended to the papers before the House. In his opinion it would be most impolitic to grant a Committee. Mr. W. WYNN', Dr. PHILLIMORE, and Mr. WiGRAM, explained. Mr. T.P. COURTENAY said this was a claim, not of libe rality, but of right, and there was no judicial tribunal either in this country or in India by which it could be decided. The Board of Control might, undoubtedly, have sent their mandate to the Court of Directors, ordering them to send a dispatch to India, Commanding the payment of the , debt claimed, which was about 150,0001.; but they did not like to adopt such a proceed , ing, as they understood,that the whole 24 DirectorS were op posed to the claim. It therefore appeared to them far more eligible that it should be investigated before a Committee of drat House, by whom evidence might be heard, and the whole of the facts be thoroughly inquired into. Ur. BROUGHAM, in reply, said, the Hon. Secretary to the Board of Control had put the question on its true footing. This was not a question of liberality, but a atria claim of right, and could not be decided by any. judicial tribunal. The Learned Gentleman then went into a detail of all the circum stances of the case, and contended that the petitioners were jus tified in making the demand they had done. The money due to them had been raised, to pay a subsidy of the Company, and was secured on the revenue, that `as, on the rent of cert a i n lands, and consequently on the land itself. That land the Corn pany had now got ,into their possession, partly by fraud and partly by force; but not one quarter of a rupee, either princi pal or interest, would they part with. This, then, was the claim of right—it could not be decided by any Court of Jos tice—and, he demanded, would the House' refuse to the, peti tioners the only constitutional mode by which they could ob tain redress—the appointment of a Committee to investigate the circumstances ? The Company said, this was not the proper time to investigate them ; but they had not deigned to state , When the proper time would arrive. If the Company had of fered to wave their right of sovereignty, and to go before a Court of Justice, onto subject the claim to a reference, or to 'go before the King in Council, the petitioners would have gladly listened to such an overture. But they did no such thing—they contemplated no such thing. They adhered to the • strict letter of their rights and prerogatives, and all that the petitioners could do was to bring the subject before. Parliament. Atte' , a short explanation between Mr. Hu ME and Mr. BROUGHAM, the House divided— For the Motion -82 1 Against it 3111 Majority -43 The Committee was accordingly appointed. IRISH INSURRECTION ACT, Mr. GOULBURN rose to move the second reading. Sir ROBERT WILSON hoped that a subject so important would not be entered into at this late hour. He was willing that the Bill should pass through one stage, but hoped the de bate would be taken at a future period. Mr. GOUIA BURN expressed his readiness to undertake that this should be the first subject on Monday. The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be commit ted on Monday. COUNTRY BANK NOTES. The House went into a Committee on the Small Notes' Bill, and after some conversation between the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. RICARDO, and Mr. Hu:u - z, the former agreed to withdraw, for the present at least, the clause em powering country bankers to pay their notes either ih gold or in notes of the Bank of England.—Report on Monday. The other Orders of the Day having been disposed of, the Houseadjourned at HALF-PAST TWELVE O'cLOCX.
