Bill. Co:amissioners, Lords Eldon, Shaftesbury, and Melville.

GAS UGH I'S.

The Cnnnsel (Mr. Harrison) was heard against the Gas-
Lights Bill; and witnosses were examined to show that the
passing of the Bill would materially injure the whale-fishery.—
Mr. Warren was heard on the other side.
The Earl of HARPOWOY paid that there evil. •nly appeared
to he some force in the observation of the Counsel, that the
passing of this Bill was calculated to give undue advantage to
Gas-Light Company, and had, therefore, a tendency to de-
stroy rather thrift promote fair competition. And then, in a
public view also, the matter was extremely deserving of atten-
tion, though the Counsel could not he regidaily heard to that
point. The whale•fisberies formed an exrellent misery f,r
seamen—a circumstance which their Lordships could never
overlook : and yet they would he most materially injured if
these Gas-Lights should be encouraged iu this extraordinary
way. It might be proper, therefore, to confine the operation
of that encouragement to the metropolis, if they thought that
the Bill ought to pass. He would not, however, object to the
second reading, as he wished to see the Bill as it might come
one of the Committee. The Bill was read a second time, and
committed fur Wednesday.
IRISH GRAND JURIES.

The Marquis of Ls wiDowna moved the third reading of the
Irish Grand Juries Bill.

The Earl of Donouownong repeated the objection which
he formerly stated, not ,o the principle, but to one of the !pro-
visions in the bill. He now understood that the Irish Judges
had been consulted, and had given their opinion against the
bill. He should not have objected to the provision, that the
Grand Juries should receive parole testimony; but he con-
tended, that it was necessary they should also have the exami-
nation of the magistrates before them. This objection had
been mode in the other House, and something had been
inserted to cure the objection, which was no cure at all. He
highly approved of assimilating the practice of the law of
Ireland to that of England, as far as was consistent with the
conditions of the two countries, and particularly be approved
of the plan in contemplation, to assimilate the practice of
Ireland to that of England in respect to the appointment of
sheriffs. If the crown gave up that patronage, the plan
would do great good, anti he felt grateful to the Conpuittee of
the other House, by which these insproventents had !seen Ant,
tested ; hot he wised that the whole plan should he brought
forward at once, and not piecemeal. While they were giving
Ireland the good things of England, he hoped they would
keep the poor laws to themselves.
The Earl of LivEnroni. was not aware that the Crown gave
op any patronage in agreeing that sheriffs should be appointed
in Ireland as they were in England. He admitted that the
plan would do great good ; but he thought, that, as the whole
of the contemplated improvements could not be brought for-
ward at once, it was desirable that they should now go as far
43 they could.
The Bill was read a third time, and passed.—Adjourned.
TUESDAY, JUNE 25.
- -- • • - • -

The Royal Assent was given. by Commission to the Holy-
head, the Surrogates, the Rape Seed Cake, the Bristol Small
Debts, and Sir W. Abdy's Divorce Rills.—Adjourned.

W gnat:matt, June 26.
The Royal Assent was given to the Alien Bill, Bank Capital,
and other Rills.
On the motion for the third reading of the Regent's Canal
Bill, the Lord CHANCVLI.OR said, that for ages Parliament had
required an estimate of the sum to be placed under the power
of such Companies as that of the Heger t's Canal. This Com-
pany had made such estimate; and now it turned out that their
plan could net be carried into execution for double that sum.
His Lordship was anxious it should be publicly known, that if
Canal Companies deviated one inch from the proper line, or
otherwise acted in the least contrary to the law which gave
them their powers, they would, on application to a Count of
Equity, he stopped instantly ; and he wished the public also
to be informed, that it was now clearly established, that any
individual whose ground these companies might be proceeding
to break, ought compel them to come to a Court of Equity, and
canfess, if the fact was so, that the sum stated by them in the
estimate laid befote Parliament wonht not be sufficient to carry
the scheme into eacdution ; and noon that rontesston they
would instantly be cnjoined fr,m breaking the g I of that
or any other individual; for the foundation of their selliority
and their engagement with the Legistaltire turned upon this--
that the sum stated by them was siitficii lit to execute the plan ;
and unless the 'Owl was sitffictent to elo•eille the a it. le 1.1.171,
a Court of Equity would enjoin them from executing any part
of it.
The Saving Banks Bill being brought up from the Commons,
Lind SitiMoLTH stated, that objections had been made to it
trent a quarter deserving of es ery respect mid attention; and
that it was not, the elm r, the iotrotiott to propose that it should
pass this Session. - He moved, however, that it b•• printed, and
lie over till nest sessiou.—Ordi red.
'f he Earl of LscoranaLt obji etch to the Stage Coach Bill ;
besides that no person would agree as to what was, or what
Was not, over-driving, this Hill was ohjeetioliiihle in other par-
ticulars ; hr moved its rejection, which was agreed to, and tilt
Bill thrown out.—Adjourned.

THUR4DAIf, Jt Pm 27.
The Stone-bustle Bill was thrown wit.

'floc Treasury Con►olidation Bull pas,ed a Committee. after
several amendments moved to Lord Grosvenor, to reduce the
Vice-Trea,urer's salary, but which were negatived.
Lord HtiLLAND addressed the House at some length, on the
late inviii rectum at Hai badoes, and on the projected Recistry
Bill. In lois opinion, a slave registry was necessary, to convince
tke World that there bad been nu illicit importat:ou of slaves i
