IRISH MINING DTLL.
The Irish Mining and...Joint-Stock Company Dill for the encou-

and panned.
BRISTOL TOWN AND MAYOR'S DUES BILL.
Mr. H. DAVIS presented a petition from the Bankers and Mer-
chants of Bristol, kr the introduction of a clause protecting their
interests in the Bristol Town Dues BiU.
Mr. H. DAVIS moral the third reading of the Bristol Town
bum Bill.

bIe•BROODEN moved the introduction of a clause to the
effect that nothing in the Act should be construed to extend the
sights of the Mayor and Corporation of Bristol.
After a few wards from Mr. BILIGHT, Mr. LITTLETON, Mr.
M•NSELL, and Mr. AI ASENALY,
Si/ J. NEWPORT said the ietention of the Committee was,
that the rights of all parties should be saved harmless. (Hear.
bear) As the Bill stood at present it gave the Corporation a legal
side, and took away from the people all power to prosecute in a
Court of Law what they considered their just claims. Ile should,
therefore, oppose the *Bill, unless the saying clause was in.
troduced.
Air. 11. DAVIS supported the amendment.
Mr. W. WH !'MORE said if the saving clam were not in-
serted he also should oppose the Bill.
After a few words from an lion. Member, whose name we could
not ascertain, strangers were ordered to withdraw.
We understand that no division took plate. and that the further
consideration of die Bill was postponed to Monday next.
THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND'S ANNUITY BILL
On the question that the Duke of Cumberland's Annuity Bill
Le read a third time,
The 11Iamui. of T.AVISTOCK said, that as that was the last
opportunity which could offer itself, he would state shortly his ob-
jeciiors to the proposed grant. He opposed it as a bad precedent,
and because he did not wish to see thellouse tricked into a vote.
t Hear, henr, hear.) If it were not so, he called on the Chancellor
nettle Eteheguer to say on his conscience, as an honest man, if he
believed the whole of the grant would go to the education of the
rsunk Prince. (Cries of " hear, hear.") If the Right Hon.
l/entloman laid his hand on his heart and said that lie conscien-
tiously thought it would, then be (the Marquis of Tavistock)
moat certainly would give credit to the assertion, and though be
should still regard the grant as eetravagnuo. such was the high
opinion he entertained of the integrity of the Right lion. Gentle.
man, with whom he had not the honour even of a personal ac-
quaintnee, that he would be far from opposing the measure.
(Cheers.) With such a feeling towards the Right lion. Gentleman,
be was sorry that with his usual candor he did not cotne down in a
straight forward manner, and openly ask for an additional grant of
4,00a1. a-year to the Duke of Cumberland. (Hear. hear.) If such
manly course had been pursued, he for one would not oppose it.
(Hese, hear.) He saw no reason for the great outcry which had
been raised against his Royal Highness ; no direct charge had ever
been brought against him ; at all events whatever grounds existed for
the feeling which prevailed towards him, he had been punished
enourh. The Noble Lord went nn to say, that he disliked extremely
the trick which had been resorted to in asking money for one purpose,
and applying it to another. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") In private
lite he was sure the Right Hon. Gentleman was incapable of such
undethend insidicnis a proceeding. (Cheers.) Another objection
To the Bill was, that the giving so large a grant for the education
of so young a Prince, established a bad and dangerous prudent.
Wheels.) The Noble Lord said that it was now some time since
he bad taken part in the debates of the House ; he was therefore
most happy, and felt extreme pleasure in bearing testimony to the
improved system which had lately been adopted, ands's° to the
wise, praiseworthy, and conciliatory conduct of his Majesty's 111 i.
Mater, (Cheers from all sides of the !louse) ; and particularly to
that of the Right Hon. the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. (Hear,
teas) He was therefore the more sorry that they should risk their
merited popularity by lending themselves to a grant so disgraceful
as the present. (Cheers.) " I don't know" (said the Noble Lord)
" that I have any farther observations to make than to thank the
House for the indulgence with which I have bceu honoured, and
to express to the lion. Member fur ai'inchelsea (Mr. Brougham)
my warmest thanks far his persevering opposition to the proposed
grant.' (Cheers.)
General PALSIER said, he had hitherto taken no part In the
question, as he could not give a silent vire, and was unwilling to
trouble the Roux with his opinion ; but further consideration and
justice to the party whose honour and interests were at stake, de.
termined hint to combat his reluctance to address it. Ile was note
cal those who in the former instance had supparted the nint'crt fcx
the saute increased allowance to the Duke of Cur:lotion tioi; was
voted to his brothers under die same circumstances, and had always
considered the rejection of that measure an act of injustice to his
Royal Highness. and an insult to the honour and feelings of the
Crown. It vas therefore solely upon that ground he must vote
for the present sin, condemning it in all other' espect& He had
before dezlared, and now'repeated his conviction, thas.the only
real enemies of the Crown were its own Ministers; nor since ha
bad been in Parliament, did he remember a single cittenion
wherein its honour and interests were concerned, th-t all the d.c.
credit brought upon it wax not solely to be impn;ed to them. They,
and eta the people, were its Constitutional advisers, arid their
neelect compelled others to the painful and invidious task of doing
tut Jr duty lot them. Either they dared not tell the Cr^wn the
tools or purposely brought it into collision with the people, to divert
their attention from acts of deeper mi-chief, and thus throw a tub
w the whale. How else was ther conduct to be explained. unless,
such was the force of habit, they could not pursue a straight course
wham nothing stood in their wny. As to the present Bill, had they
„Ay renewed it in its %raw .iiape, with the simple statement that
los Royal Highness, after ten years' absence, was desirous of re-
turning to England with his family, in the only way that, eon-
s;gte.itly with hi. honour and interne, he could return--namely,
by being placed upon the saute footing as the other branches of the
Crown, the ertoe-o ground of objections 'o the Bill would not
have existed ; instead of which. Ministers had not only ran their
heeds moinst a tall, but actually built it for the purpose. In
place of a grant of G,OOIL to the only party wishing it, they called
upon Parliament for double the amount, fir reasons Mae iti
.-Ore). or which, If-true, were revoking to ti:e sense end feelings
of the people, and humiliating to all the proles bernotht forwent in
the course of the debate, ex:opting that illustrious' 'female whose
exemplary conduct had spoken for itself, aed gained her the esteem
and admiration of the country. Bat the Individnal who, if not a
/forty to the act, had been placed by Ministers in an invidious light,
was that Personage whose splenchd income freni the country had
littherto prevented slat: application to Parliament. which the Chan-
,ellor of the Exchequ-r, the guardian of the public purse, and the
114.100 UT of the Crown, had now deemed to be necessary; and to
whom he must bay that neon the fese M that application, disc:roll;
attached somenheve, and whoever the cap fitted the party ought to
sear it. Bus Ma chief object in isidressing the House was to de_
lend the Individual, whose personal character had been the role
erouod"of opposition to that grant in the former instance, the real
..Meet of the penent Pill ; arid with reepeet to which, no Member
the Howe had at that time fel: a stroegee prejudice against the
party tba himself, for reseals eonnected with his political con-
tact ; bug. the same revive which had dictated his former vote,
tolled on him now to declare his conviction that no man had been
nem greatly calumniated than his Royal 'Highness. As to hit
