lof one country had been directed very much, and which
'had not yet received the Royal Assent.—(Laughter and

the Noble Lord had alluded. With respect to one, he

the means would be found of preventing the evil that

..ne Earl of _ move_
of the Bridlington Harbour Bill.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved as an
lamendment that the Bill be read a second time that day six

months.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said he thought he had a
.ht as ',oalowner, to object to the principle ,f this Bill,

rig a c( Lo object to the principle o,
which proposed to tax only the article of coal. He hoped
their Lordships would not sanction a measure which would-
'rate so •rtiall If it were tax all - Aesl

ope._ pa, y. _ proposer., _. art,_
the coal-owners would not have so much reason to corn
plain. Why was the stone which was brought to pave,
this metropolis to be exempted from th- )ayment of

p

iduty ? If the Noble Earl could spew that the harbour
)uld afford a place of refu- ho would establish some•

wo, a place u,
thing of a case in favour of the Bill ; but it was a dream'
to call the harbour a harbour of refuge. The only time
during which vessels could enter it was a short time be-
fore high water and a short time after; during all the
,remainder of the twenty-four hours they were excluded.

lit appeared from the evidence which had been taken or
the subject that so far from this harbour being a place o
refuge, it was the cause of shipwrecks, inasmuch

as its;

appearance of safety was deceiving. If the harbour
!ought to be supported on the ground of its affording a

refuge, the Government should take up the Bill, and see
,that the t. .hick was called for on public -

;ax, w

grown,

Is, was

equally and fairly levied on the public. Instead of this,
,they had a measure recommended to them by which the

(coal of Scotland was to be exempted from duty, while!
the coal from Newcastle was to be taxed.

The Earl.of AIINTO said he entertained many serious
objections to this Bill, which he should feel himself called
on to make in the Committee. The Bill was introduced
into the other House as a private Bill, imposing a local tax,
but it had been altered until it had beoomc a Bill im-
posing a general tax. He thought it was impossible
for their Lordships to pass the Bill as a private Bill in
its present form. In h;s opinion the harbour could not
be considered as a place of refuge for the general trade
of the country, and it would afford no shelter ves•
isels except during a very inconsiderable portion of the
twenty-four hours, and the chances therefore were, that
it would not be of any use when vessels happened to be in
distress.
Earl FITZ WIL LIAM supported the Bill. He thought'
they ought not to reject it on the ground that if the
boor were a place of refuge, the Government were called
on to bring forward a measure to maintain it. That pro-
position involved a large and an important question. Per-
haps it would be better that the Government took charge
`of all the harbours which it was desirable should be main-
tained.
Their Lordships then divided on the question that the
Bill be read a second time, when the numbers were—

The M.trquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice he

The Pillory Abolition Bill, the Shire Halls Bill, and
the Small Debts (Scotland) Bill were committed and re-

HOUSE OF COMMONS, JUNB 23.
The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock.
The usual oaths were administered to several Hon.
Members.
Mr. WIGNEY presented a petition from certain indi-
ividaals engaged in the India-rubber trade, stating that if
tithe Caoutchouc Company Bill passed, they would be en-
tirely ruined, and praying the House to reject the Bill.
- On the motion of Mr. HUME the Dundee Waterworks
Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion of Mr. HINDLEY the Pollock and
Govan Railway Bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. PRYME brought up the Report of the Commit-
tee on Raylies' Estate Bill. The Bill was then read a
third time and passed.
Mr. HAWES presented a petition from certain share-
holders of the Westminster Bridge and Deptford and
Greenwich Railway Company, praying that the Bill might
not pass into law.
LONDON CAOUTCHOUC COMPANY.
Mr. 11. HUGHES moved the third reading of the
London Caoutchouc Company Bill.
Mr. WIGNEY opposed the third reading. Ho com-
plained that the Bill, as amended, bad not been placed in
the hands of Hon. Members, and therefore they could not
be in possession of its details. Although the Hon. Member
for Oxford had stated that the Bill had been printed and,
distributed last week, he (Mr. W.) had not been able to
obtain a copy of it even on that day.
Mr. HUGHES said that if that was the case, he would
postpone the third reading.
Mr. WIGNEY objected to any postponement, and pre-
ferred taking the sense of the House upon the Bill as it
then stood. The objectionable principle still remained, and
he felt it his duty to step forward and protect the interests
of those he represented, who had stated that they would be
completely ruined if it were allowed to be passed into law.
He believed the great object of the Bill was to enable
certain patentees to sell their patents to a number of
individuals greater than the law allowed. He knew
one of the gentlemen who had signed the petition
which he had presented, who had from 10,0001. to
20,000/. in the trade already, and his fortunes and his hopes
'of a competency would be destroyed if the Bill passed. Its,
object was merely for the purpose of forming one great mo-
nopoly, by which so far from being benefitted they would
be much worse served with the article than now. He trusted
the House would do justice to the public by throwing out
the Bill. He moved that it be read this day six months.
Dr. BO WRING opposed the Bill upon the statement
