WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20.
SCOT4III MALT BILL.On the motion that the Scotch malt
bill be read a second time,
Mr. CALCItAFT said, if he did not oppose this bill, it was
from the hope that the Scottish members would support a
proposition for the repeal oldie English malt tax next session.
SirJ.MAILIOItIBANKS thought that there was no similiarity
between the two cases; however, he was not against any boon
being granted to the English maltstcr.
Bill read aeccond time, and ordered to be committed on Friday.
lEDEVENDENCE or PARLIAMENT..—ML BRIGHT pre-
sented a petition from Bristol, praying for the restoration of the
Constitution as established in Ifisa. It was of the utmost
importance to secure the independence of parliament; and he
was therefore glad that the house had ordered returns of place-
men, pensioners, &c.
Mr. G. BEN NETT said he should, early in the next session,
bring forward his motion to exclude placemen, &c.; that he
should continue it from year to year, till he had cleansed the house
of those who, according to the language of the constitution, held
/cry under the crown."
Mr. H. DA 'V IS observed, that there were few signatures
to the petition.
Mr. HRH iHT replied that this was true—hut he believed
that the major ity of the people of Bristol, as well as those
of England, i-ymprithised in sentiment with the petitioner
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that
the tobacco duties hill he committed pro forma; he did not
wish to press the hill now.
Mr. CALVERT said he was against the principle of the
Bill—he should resist its going into a committee, fl'he
•' moulding" clause vias pat tieularly ohjectionable.—The
bill was postponed for the present,
IRISH BANC Bii.t..—Sir J. NEWPORT complained of
the manner in which the Irish bank bill had been hurried
through the house, when very few members were present.
Mr. DENMAN spoke to the like ellect. The hon. hart.
had a clause to propose; lie hoped at separate bill would be
'lmposed for the purpose. It was monstrous that a director
should be exposed to disqualifications, if he happened to be-
lieve in fratibuh,Lnutiation.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQULit said he had
not harried; it came forward in the regular course of the
orders.

IMMOLATION ot• FEIIALI4.—Mr. F. BUXTON brought
forward bin motion respecting the immulatiou of females.—
Ile did not see why the negative encouragement should lie
given to these sacrifices, since many of the .11Indoostati go-
vernments directly opposed and] prohibi:ed them. Their
laws said, where the sect ifices were allowed, that the immo-
lations should be voluntary. But siolence had been resorted
to wills the view of pressing (orison' such immolation ; and
he therefoie could not see why the natives should not be
reArained, AIM(' their own lows its so many instances pro-
hibited those sacrifices. He concluded with moving for
copies of extracts fauns despatches which relate to the burn-
ing of Wolllrll.
Mr. B. BATHURST said he should nut oppose the motion,
hot of late y cant ilebt sad bit rnings had considerably increased
it !telpher. If it should be found by the papers that our
interference was the cause of the increase complained of, he
trusted that the hon, member would nut press the 'abject on
parliament.
Mr. WILBERFORCE observed, that the question was
of great importance. The hon. member then proceeded to
Notice sonic eases of burning, ituit:Walls one where the
parties had tied the woman to the pile. Debit; asked why
they did SO, it was replied, tient otherwise she would run
:Ina). That was proof of the " voluntary" matmer in
hich t'.h• women come fornard to submit to these sacri-
tiees.—(liear, hear! )
Mr. iIUML advc•ted to Governor Dunean's regula-
tions. They were in practice is lien lie (Mr. Hume) was
at Benare-; but be qnestioned w 'tether the case of a woman,
being " tied dorsal," noticed by the member from Bramber,
had taken place within the company's territories.

Mr CANNING much doubted whether our inlet ference
by any positive measures would not be must injurious—
hether it would out be much harm. There were inhuy
things which we might introduce with ctfect, but to cnden-
your Ito introduce them would he dclu from it general
lts•letn which bud been pro (hoed with so much suce.c...—
Instiuction, it wa• true, would have its beneficial effects—
hut superstition, let it be remembered, had never been sub-
dued by twee.

Mr. W. SMITH said at few words in support of the motion,
after which, the papers were ordered.
Mr. T. F. nuvroN asked whether the government had
yet determined on a plan for effecting at more frequent jail
delivery in several of the counties in England.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY replied, that it had
been found as yet imposible to decide on any general plan
as some of (hi:counties urged of on necount of the
ripener.

STATE Or EUROPE.—Mr.IIUTCHINSON then liroujit
forward his long promised motion respecting the sole of
Europe. The noble lord bud disclaimed all connection with
he holy saintlier, but he considered the noble lord an effec-
tive partner in Moe reprehensible nod dnugerous principles.
The approuchlug contusion threatened nothing less than a
total disorgiuneation of society, unless tit, dangers were
averted by the conduct of the noble lord and the goverument.
Ile concluded with moving, that the house, being the repre.
scntativcs of a free and enlighten' d people, had witnessed
with the greatest concern and alarm the events which have
lately taken place on the Continent of Einope, and also the
open and insulting avowal of pretensions us novel as they
uere dangerous. and which were in direct opposition to the
principle!, of our own revolution, mid to the rods peiolence
of other nations:—that an humble addicts be therefore pre-
sented to his Majesty, requesting him to use his influence and
author ity to secure the minor Mutes of Europe then undoubted
and till now never disputed, eight to choose their ono form
or gwwernmewl ; and who to rc trate will. hi, tithes oe
the assumption of powers never before.clainsest, which intro.
duce new principles lino the law of nations, in direct oppu-
sition to all roster practice and peen-dew, and which it
ed in and acted upou would not only prevent the
ecaldishment of all col' I libel ty, but tend to render per-
pcluid devolOos of the Aorta kind.
Sir It. 1,1 ILSON seconded the motion, and fillet *arils
spoke to its support.
