STANDING WIDENS.
A desultory conversation look place between several Noble
Lords, relative to a BUI, the second reading of which stands for
to-morrow; and the rtSject of whielt es,as we understood, included
in the Standing Order lately Intsoduce4 oo the motion of Lord
Lauderdale, respecting L Companies.
The Earl of lIARRO said, that he should to-morrow
.morefor the sumenalon Older, to enable this Bill
to be rood a second time.
The Earl of LAUDENDALN strongly objected to this course
became it was rendering the Standing Ordent of the Douse non
effective. Their hardships had just mail: a Standing Order to
prevent bills of this description from being read a second time
until &report had been made by a Come.iure of the actual amqutit
of capital paid ; and the Noble Earl's notion would frustrate the
object at the commencement of the operation of it.
Lord KING thought that it would save • great deal of trouble
to more the suspension of the Standing Orders Until the end of the
Session. (A laue,..
IJITABLE LOAN BILL.
The Duke of Al 110 L presented a petition from the labourers
and workmen employed In the East India Docks, in favour of the
Equitable Loan Bill.
The Earl of DARNLEY presented a similar petition front the
inhabitants of Deptford and Greenwich; both of which were laid
on the table.

The Earl of LAUDEjIDALE presented petitions against the
Bill from St. Ana, Limehouse, Poplar, Old and New Brantford,
St. lieoves.in-the-East, St. Paul, Shadwell, St. Mary Stratford
Bow, All Saint", West Ham ; Christchurch. Surrey ; St. Bo-
dolph, Aldgate ; St. Mary, Newington ; Fulham ; St. Mary,

born ; St. George, Hanover-square ; St. Clement Danes ; St.
Margaret and St. John's, Westminster ; and St. John and St.
James, Clakenwell--which were severally laid on the table.
The Earl of HARDWICKE rose to more the second reading of
the Bill, immediately after the presentation of these petitions, but
' The Earl of DARNLEY was upon his legs fur the purpose of
presenting the petition of which he had spoken yesterday.
Lord HARDWICKE still pressed for the House to consider the
Equitable Loan Bill, upon which—
The Earl of DARNLEY moved that the Order of the Day be
mad for considering the petition of which he bad given n9;irat yes-
terday.
The Earl of HARDWICKE persisted in his Intention.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE observed, that he knew of no
tight of which the Noble Earl could avail himself to cause than
Lordships to depart from the common practice of hearing petitions
ht the early part of the sitting ; and even if the right were with
hint, courte,iy. be (Lord Lauderdale) should imagine, would
lead him to give way. lie had two Bills which stood for a mond
reeding, but he had cheerfully given way to his Noble Friend.
The Earl of LIDERKK had a second reading. but he bad
given way foe the purpose of esahlinc the :soblp Eiral to preert his
petition.
CATHOLIC DISQU AL IS ICA T lONS.
The Earl of DARNLEY stated to the Rouse that lid held in
his hand a petition which aurae from ooe of those counties in Ire-
land which had already occupied the attention of their Lordships,
and which must continue to occupy kelpie indagain, until some-
thing was done in furtherance of the Deem of it. It was a ques-
tion of so much importance that he bed hem inclined to found a
motion upon it, even thus late in the &miens but be did not wish
to press any measure on the subject in opposition to wishes of

objection that might have arisen In Nome their Iterdehip's minds
to the granting tbb prayer of Mese petitions, in consequence of the
Impropriety of the conduct of die C4tholice, was to his mind a
most fallacious one: indeed, min her, its being an objection to
these petitions, is was the magma mean that could be urged for
them to receive a favourable Nadal! If Catholics have been be-
trayed Into improper language, anehave rapeseed their feelings
strongly, in common justice to than It pttgbt to be considered that
they had been goadol to it. There could be DO peace or tranquillity
in Ireland without repealing the disqitalifying Statutes that have
so long degraded them. It was impossible that the errantry could
be governed hy the sword alone much longer. The Noble Earl
concluded by moving that the petition be then read, and after-
wards printed.
Viscount CLIFDEN heartily concurred In what bad fallen from
his Noble Friend (Earl Darnley.)
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that from the inconve-
nience of the practice elsewhere, he should oppose the printing of
die petition.
The petition was then read by the Clerk ; it cams from the Ca-
tholics of Illonighan, praying to be relieved from the disqualifying
statutes to which they were at present subjected. The Noble Ned
then metal that the petition lit on the table.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought that it would be desirable
for the BiU to go into a Committee, and the petitions to be re-
ferred to it. It was contrary to all usage for Counsel to be heard
against a Isill for parties intlrested in its enactments; and he
thought the order hie hearing Counsel ought to be dischargaL
He should certainly object to the Dimmer in its present form.rbet
he thought it might be so modified hi the Cowman as to make it
unobjectionable.'

- LORD CHANCELLOR remarked, that whoever he had
asked whether this were a public or a private Bill, he bat: been
answered—and be believed correctly answered—that it was a private
one. Now, their Lordships were aware that it was not competent
ter persons to be beard by Counsel on a public Bill, because they
must be considered as members of the public: but. on a private
Bill, any persons interested bad a right to be heard by Counsel.
He should oppose the discharge of the order for hearing Counal.
Their Lordships divided on the question whether Counsel should
be heard against the Bill or not ; when there appeared, for the Earl
of If ardwicke's motion for the discharge of the Order—
Coments, 26 ; Non-Contents, 17 ; Majority in favour of the
motion, 9.
On our re-admission below the bar, we found the Earl of LAU-
DERDALE on his legs; but we were unable to hear what the
Noble Earl said, in consequence of the rush at the doors of persons
anxious to gain admission into the House.
The LORD CHANCELIA)A then left the IVoolsack, aid
observed that this was one pt. the most objectionable hills that he
had ever read ; and if it should cane out of the'Committee in its
present shape, ha should trouble their Lordship? with a motion on
almost every clause of it, in its ulterior stage.
Lord REDESDALE had decided objections to the Flill. In-
stead of individuals acting as pawnbrokers, over whom the law had
a control, a great Company was to be established for the purpose
of carrying on that business, which would be attended with great
inconvenience and toisdaef. In the case of stolen goods, for in-
stance, an individual might be prosecuted, if it were thought that
he bad acted dishonestly; but this great Company could not be so
dealt with. If these greet Corponitions were introduced generally,
which theta mewed to be at present a mania far, they might ulti-
mately endsager the Constitution.
The Earl of WESTMORLAND thought the motion of these
great Companies was extremely dangerous. It tended to promote
monopoly to the prejudice of individuals. If the Pill were premed
to a sewed reading, be should certainly oppose it.
Their Ladino, then divided on the second reading of the Bill.

The Bill was ordered to be committed on Friday.
