it should have been stated he (Lord Londonderry) would not
object to the motion. He bad certainly intemled to move fur
papers, as connected with the case of Mr. Chamberlain , the
address called for other papers, assuming Cult irregularities had
taken place. He be_ged to state that the Vice Consuls did not
receive any fees, receipt whet were paid as notulial fees. His
Lordship read extracts from Mr. Chamberlain's correspondence
to vliewdltus much. He put it to the house whether this was a
proper course, to proceed to move such au address without any
notice or communication.
Mr. lIUME was astonished at what had fallen from the noble
lord. When he presented the petition of ib Bluish inerehents
at the Breads, complaining of tide subject, Ida Lordship said
be might have all the information 11141 i correspondence if he
would only move foe them.—(Hear.)—lie bad therefore moved
for the imormatimi. As to the fees, the noble lord appeared
as iguoraut of them as ever. After the declaration lie thought
notice was unnecessary; it' lie had Reprehended that there
would be le tst opposition, he certainly should not have mined
for the paper, without communicating to the noble Lord his
ititentiou. The fact was, if papers wire not applied fur early
in the eveuiug, there was no .Rance of submitting any such
mot ion.
Lord LONDONDERRY snit), he was quite satisfied with
the explanations. Ile was only anxious to remove the Mires
rdan that his office had promoted this motion. His Lordship
added, that further information than was required by the ad-
dr.ess would be requisite to give full knowledge of the question.
Mr. HUM E was willing to withdraw the address, if the noble
lied would prepare a letter. The motion for the ad.tress was
accordingly discharged.
Lord DINNING presented a petition from the proprietors of
inns, &c. 0111 the Dover road, coinplaining of the injury they sus-
tained from the Calais steam boats, and praying • tax on the
boats. (Some laughter.) It inijit be 11111t14111 to some, but
it would be of the most serious consequences ; for he be-
lievud that 1200 horses were about to be sold, nod '7OO families
were likely In be ruined. (Hear.)
Mr. 13ERNAL said the petition merited attention.
Mr. CALCRA rr was astonished at the degeneracy of prin-
ciple that now marked Rochester, as compared with what was
the case when lie represented that city. (t laugh.) The con-
•ejance now adopted was comfortable, expeditious, and cheap ;
and was it to be adopted on the grounds here stated
Mr. H. GURNEY spoke o: the hardships to which aliens
bad been subjected at Gravesend.
Mr. PEEL said it was his intention to establish arrangements
at the custom-house regarding aliens, to prevent the necessity
of their stopping at Gravesend. He had only waited to see
whether the (Weis steam boat project would succeed : —it bad
succeeded; and the requisite arrangements at the custom-house
would be made forthwith. Petition read, and ordered to be
printed.
Sir B. MARTIN (in reply to an enquiry made by Colonel
Davis on a former night) stated that the Turkish vessel
alluded to had entered this country as a merchant ship ; that
the vessel was net mounted with 5$ gnus and that 400 British
seamen were not on board. There was one such seamen on
hoard ; it was true .10 had twee spoken to. If the vessel con-
travened the laws, it must be answerable for the consequences.
(Hear, hear.) It must depart as • merchant vessel.
Col. DAt said be was perfectly satisfied with the explana-
tioil. What he had stated had bete communicated to him on
good authority.
Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition from Hornsev, High-
gate, &c. against the Highgate Chapel Bill. Referred to the
committee.

11r. COULBURN presented a petition from four commis
&ton. rs appointed to enquire into the courts of jostle:, In land,
•uedicatiug themselves against expressions in Ilarou O'Gradj
letter.

Mr. HUME asked when these commissioners were likely
to terminate their labours

Mr. GOULBURN said, he could not tell; they had been
appointed under an act of Parliament ; and they had fulfilled
their duties hitherto faithfully.
Mr. HUME bad raised no question on that subject; but he
must question the propriety of appointing Mr. Plunkett to be
one of the commissioners. He was too join% a man, be had
nut experience enough for inch an office.
Mr. GOULBURN said, whatever might be Mr. Plunkett's
age, be must deny that such gentleman was deficient in the re-
quisite experience and ability. Petition ordered to be printed.
ALIEN PEEL moved the third reading of the
Aliens' Regulation Bill.
Mr. BERNAL opposed the bill, though the state of the
house did not encourage him to go into any details. The bill
was now avowedly a precautionary measure ; it was not to
meet a specific evil, but it was a bill perpetual in its principle.
Mr. \\ ETHERELL strongly supported the bill. Such a
power must be lodged somewhere; and whLre could it be
lodod with more advantage, with more security, than with the
Crown

Mr. DENMAN opposed the bill, contending that its principle
was unjust, and that it operated most injuriously, as fur as the
character and best interests of the country were concerned.
Sir H. WILSON also opposed the biill. There was not in
all the Peninsular Governments any thing which at all resem-
bled an Alien lid, and it was dis,rraceful to the British Go-
vernment to have one iu this country. lie considered the bill
as derogatory to our character abroad, and injurious to our
iutereris at home. He had no doubt the bill would pass this
but it was satisfactory to him to know that an hon.
friend of his, the member for the city of Durham, wou:tl move
its repeal at au early period of the next session.
Colonel S'FANHOPE defended the bill, which he said, so
far from oppressing foreigners, protected them. The well dis-
posed foreigner, who came. here tor business or pleasure, would
find the country open to him for either of these purposes; all
ti at this bill nid was to prevent the ill-disposed and designing
from it akiog this country tbepest-bouse of Europe.
Mr. Searleit and Mr. Lockhart opposed the bill.

After smile further debate the question for the third reading
was rained, on a division, by alarge majority, and the bill was
privr.ed.

The othq orders were disposed ot, and the House adjourned.
