DOVER HARBOUR.

Mr. R. STEUART presented a petition from the inha-
bitants of Dover, of which he had given notice, and which
was upon the VotcP, relaling-to the Harbour. The lion.
Member then read the petition at length. The petitioners
regretted that, in a Bill that had lately passed that house,
the recommendations of a Committee appointed io inquire
into the Dover Harbour, relative to the management of the
affairs of the Board, were not strictly carried into effect.
The petitioner!, therefore, prayed the House to adopt and
carry into full effect the report of the Select Committee,
by altering the constitution of the Board of Management,
as to the House should seem proper. The Ilon. Member
cordially cmcurred in the prayer of the petition, and the
recommendations the petitioners had made as to the ma-
nagement of the harbour.

Mr. VECTOR supported the prayer of the petition.
He had hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman, the President of
the Board of Trade, would have been present in his place,
so as to have given Lim an opportunity of asking a question
as to whether it was the-intention of the Government to
originate or support •a Bill relative to_the managemeut,of

that harbour. The Hon. Member also presented a similar
petit ion.
Sir R. INGLIS protested against Hon. Members read-
ily"' their petitions at length, as .the Hon. Member opposite
had done. .He observed that the. Hon. and Learned
Member for Kilkenny (Mr. Finn) had upwards of sixty
petitions by his side, and -if he were to read every one of
those petitions at length, there would not be much time left
for other Hon. Members to present their petitions.—( Hear.)
Sir C. KNIGHTLEY presented a petition from a
place in Northamptonshire, praying the House net to ap-
propriate the funds of the Church of Ireland to any other
than Protestant purposes.
TAXED C ARTS.
Mr. HANDLEY seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his place, begged to
ask him whether it was Ids intention to remove the duty
that at present existed on Taxed Carts ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
his Hon. Friend had.put a question to him upon a subject
which, although it did not excite much interest within the
walls of that House, had created a great sensation out of
doors, which he was not surprised at, inasmuch as it bore
very heavily on the agriculturist. The case was simply
this—both his Noble Friend who had preceded him in
office and himself, had, at various times, altered un-
der certain limits, the taxation on carts.—(bear.)
Ho believed that'many farmers were iii the habit of using
cloaks for cushions, to avoid their coming within the mean-
ing of the Act. The alteration that had been made was with
respect to the size of the letters, which were formerly one inch
in length, and were by the late Act required to be two inches.
At the time the proposition was made he had heard of no
objection, although he had since understood that it bad
created very general dissatisfaction in the manufacturing
districts. In the course of the present session it was his
intention to propose that the law should be left as he had
found it.---( Hear, hear.)
Mr. W. ROCHE presented a petition from Limerick
complaining of the unequal taxation to which the inha-
bitants of that city were subjected as compared with the
county. The petitioners also complained that the rate-
payers were not sufficiently represented in the Grand Jure.
The Hon. Member presented another petition against the
monopoly on the roads between Limerick and Dublin.
POST-OFFICE.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave
notice that on Friday next he should move for leave to
bring in a Bill for the better administration of the affairs
o 7 his Majesty's Post-office.
PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS.
Mr. FINN presented twelve petitions from Kilkenny,
and two from Sligo, praying for the abolition of tithes.
The HON. GENTLEMAN had also thirteen petitions from
the county of Kilkenny, and two from the county of Sligo,
praying the house to give every support to his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, as the present Government of Ireland had proved the
greatest blessing to that country which they had had for
centuries. The prayer of one of the petitions was very
short, and he would read it to the House. He proceeded
to do so, when he was interrupted by
Mr. A. TREVOR, who hoped that the rule laid down
by the House would be strictly adhered to by both sides.
Mr. FINN said the prayer of the petition was very
short, and as he was not allowed to state in his own words
the sentiments of his constituents, he would, which he
understood was quite consistent with the rule, read the
prayer of the petition. On proceeding he was again in-
terrupted by
Mr. A. TREVOR, who appealed to the Chair to know
whether the Hon. Gentleman was in order or not ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
the rule had been agreed to, at least much discussion
had been had upon it, in the absence of the Ho-
nourable and Learned Member for Kilkenny. He
trusted that it would be adhered to, as it tended much
to save the time of the House, at the same time always re-
serving to themselves the right of hat'ing a petition affect-
ing their constituents printed, with a view to having a specific
discussion upon it.
Mr. ROEBUCK wished the rule to be tried as strictly
as possible in order to see in what way it would work. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer was the greatest sinner upon
the present occasion, having raised a debate on the pre-
sentation of the petition, which was distinctly against
the rule.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG thought that much time bad been
already wasted in useless discussion. He had no doubt
that the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, by the exercise of his
discretion, would long ago have finished all he had to say.
Mr. FINN did not think that much time had been
saved. He proceeded again to read the petition, when he
was called to order by
Sir G. CLERK, who trusted that as the rule,had been
laid down, the Speaker would see that it was adhered to by
all parties.
The SPEAKER stated what the rule of the-House
was. The Hon. Member was to state the substance of the
petition and to read its prayer.
Mr. Fl NN resumed. and was azain called to order by
Sir GEORGE CLERK, who said that the lion. Mem-
ber was reading the petition. As lie saw a member of the
Government opposite, he called_ upon the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman to say whether he would support the Chair, who
had clearly laid down the rule of the House.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he was always ready to support not only the rules of
that House, but the authority of the Chair ; but as he
collected from the Chair that the Hen. Member was in
order, he had remained silent.
The SPEAKER said it must be evident to the Hon.
Member what coarse he should pursue. The Hon. Mem-
ber was at liberty to state the effect of his petition, but not
to read it at lengt)s. If such a course was allowed, the
whole time of the House would be occupied in presenting
petitions alone.
Mr. FINN then said the object of the petition was, that
the House would give its support to that Ministry that bad
conferred so much good upon Ireland. The subject then
dropped, and the petition was ordered to lie on the table.
Mr. H. GRATTAN presented similar petitions in fa-
vour of Ministers from places in 'Down, Londonderry,
Glengall, and Meath.
Admiral ADAM presented a petition from Kinross
against Sabbath travelling.
Mr. BL ACKSTONE presented a petition from War-
rington to the same effect.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG presented a petition froin a master
mariner, praying for compensation to East India officers.
On the motion- of 'Mr. FORBES, the Report on the
Campsie Canal was further considered.
MANCHESTER AND SALFORD GAS BILL.
Mr. BROTHERTON brought in a Bill for lighting
the towns eof Manchester and Salford with Gas, which was
read a first time.
NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
Mr. G. F. YOUNG wished to ask the Chancellor of
the.Exehequer when the House might expect to receive
any communication from his Majesty's Government in re-
ference to the erection of the new Houses of Parliament ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that no communication could be made until the House
came to the Miscellaneous Estimates, when a vote would be
passed, and the subject would be discussed.
UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM.
Mr. A. TREVOR gave notice that he should move
there be laid on the table of the. House a copy of the char-
ter recently granted to the University of -Durham.
REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c. ,
Dr. NICHOLS wished to correct a mis-statement which
he bad made on Saturday, relative to the Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the Registration of Births and
Marriages, lie had stated that the Committee had
5,000 registers before them, but they • had only 1,200 at
present, and they would have 2,000 more immediately
after the Ist of duly when the books would b.! closed,
and the parties would he better able to spare them
without inconvenience. With respect to the progress the
Committee had made, he would state that 5,000 circulars
had been issued to various Dissenting congregations, and
797 letters had been written by the Secretary. Forty-six
Boards had already been held, and the Committee was
making as rapid a progress as possible in its labours.
The Durham Junction Railway Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed.
POLLOCK AND GOVEN RAILWAY.
Oe the motion that the Report of the Committee on
this Bill be further considered, Sir GEORGE CLERK had
been instructed by the trustees of the Glasgow roads
to oppose the Bill,' unless the Railway crossed the turn-
pike-road by horse power instead of locomotive engines.
The Company came before that House demanding fresh
powers, and he should call upon the House to stop the
progress of the Railway altogether, unless they did what was
yroposed, or unless they crossed the turnpike road by means
of a bridge.
After a few words from Mr. Hindley in support of
the Bit ; and from Mr. Dennistoun, Lord Wm. Bentinek,
and Lord Granville Somerset, the further consideration of
the Report wsas adjourned, in order to see if some arrange-
ment might not be come to with the promoters of the Bill.
The Dublin and Drogheda Bill was read a third time,
and passed.
Nowni METROPOLITAN CEMETERY BILL.
On the motion of Sir S. WHALLEY, the adjotirned
debate on the petition relative to the above Bill, presented
from Mr. Staples on the Bth of May, was resumed.
Mr. R. Sutton was called in and examined.
Examined by Sir S. W HALLEY—Are you not a con-
stituent of mine ?—I am, and also a Director of a Com-
pany now before Parliament, called the Brighton Railway.
Have you not frequently seen me upon that subject ?—I
have.
Do you remember seeing
writingseein
gmsomee w
me
some
Thursdayords on apiece of
hist?—ldo.
Do you remember
paper and handing them to me to look at ?—I do.
State to the House what the words in that writing were.

—I think the words were that I had seen Mr. Staples, and
he had requested me to ask whether you would withdraw
your opposition to the Cemetery Bill, if he would withdraw
one of the clauses.
Did you ever say anything to me about presenting a pe-
tition to Parliament, complaining of my Parliamentary con-
duct ?—Most decidedly not.
Did I ever make any promise to you, that if such a peti-
tion was not presented, that I would withdraw my oppo-
sition to Mr. Staples' Cemetery Bill ?—ertainly not.
I never made use of the word petition, or adverted in any
way to a petition respecting you or any body else.
Did I make any mention of a petition to you ?—No.
Did you tell Mr. Staples if the petition was not presented
complaining of my Parliamentary conduct, that I would
withdraw my opposition to the Cemetery or any other
Bill ?—No. Certainly not.
Did you tell Mr. Staples on one occasion that I was in
an adjoining room, and that if he would vote you would go
and speak to me, and tell him whether I would withdraw
my opposition ?—No. I think I said that if certain words
in a clause were withdrawn, I thought from your manner
you would withdraw your opposition to the Bill ; but I did
nit say one word about a petition.
Examined by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—Had had a con-
versation with Sir Samuel Whalley about the Bill. I told
him that certain words had been introduced into the elauso
that I thought would remove his objection. Mr. Staples
said something to me about bringing the subject before the
House of Commons by petition, and I told him he had
Fetter not do so before be had seen Sir Samuel Whalley.
Ile said the petition referred to certain psrties, but against
whom he did not know, and that it was on the subject of
certain insertions being made in a clause. I understood
what was the general object of the petition. I don't re-
member requesting Mr. Staples to call again in three
quarters of an hour or an hour's time, but I think he did
call again, which was on the same morning as that on
which I had some conversation on the subject of the
petition. I am not quite sure 'where Sir Samuel
Whalley was at the time Mr. Staples returned, but I think
he was in the house in Bridge-street. I don't recollect
whether Sir S. Whalley was in the adjoining room. On one
occasion I did request him to go into the next room to
speak to Sir Samuel Whalley, but whether it was then
or not I don't know. (Here the examination was con-
ducted in so low a tone of voice that we could not
bear distinctly either the questions or the answers.)
Sir Samuel Whalley had declared the insertion of the words
was indispensably necessary for his constituents, and in-
sisted ou their remaining in the clause ; and I said that if'
the promoters of the Bill agreed to their remaining, I hoped
Lis oppostion to the Bill would be stopped. lam not quite
sure whether Mr. Staples asked me questions, or whether my
impression was that Sir S. Whalley would withdraw his
opposition to the Bill if the words remained. I did not
tell Mr. Staples that Sir S. Whalley requested he might not
be called on to canvass in favour of the Bill.
On the motion of Mr. AGLION BY, the 'avitneas was
ordered to withdraw.
Mr. AGLIONBY would put it to the House whether
. tile lion. Member fur Finsbury was quite correct in the
course he was taking, because it savoured more of a cross-
examination then of an examination in chief. He did not
find in the evidence that Mr. Sutton had not made
the slightest allusion to any one of those particulars. The
more correct way would be for the lion. Member to ask
the witness whet did take place.
Al DUNCOM BE would put the question in any shni_e
the House might think proper.
The witless was then recalled, and the examination by
Mr. DU NCO MBE resu:ned.
I don't think I told Mr. Staples that Sir Samuel Whalley
had canvassed votes against the Bill. I have no recollection
of. it. I don't recollect sa)ing that I huh told Sir Samuel
Whalley that if he had canvassed six votes against the Bib
Lc tnu-t bring twelve down ta2.oinst it.
'lle witness tea Bien examined by Mr. JERVIS, and
stated that he bad beard Mr. Staples complain of the
conduct of Sir S. V,Thalley In opposite,T, the Bid. Ile had
heard the name of Mr. AngerSt tin mentioned as the Member
who was to present the petition, but he had no conversa-
tion with S:r S nnuel aka it the petition. Fla had
merely spoken to him about the clauses.
The witness was then aslzed cog 2 questions by Mr. Roe-
buck, 5..; S. Whalley, Mr. Angerstein, and Mr. Aglionby,
but the exianination was conducted is so low a tone of
voi,!e, that neither the questions nor the aIiSWC' s reached
the gallery.
Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY wished the Hon. Mem-
ber for Greenwich to state the circumstances under which
he had received the petition, and what had taken place
in consequence thereof.
Mr. ANGERSTEIN stated that after he had re-
ceived the petition he mentioned the subject to Sir
Saamt.l Whalley, who said t1i.2.1 lie was surprised that
any man should present such a petition. To which he
said that he had read the petition—that he thought
it one of importance, and that in his mind he
was doing Sir Samuel Whalley a kindness in giving him an
opportunity of denying the charges. On the day on which
he intended to present the petition, on coming up to the
table his name was called out by the Speaker. He
informed him that he bad not the petition which
he intended to present with him, but it was
in the anti-room, and he would go and fetch it. 11l
the lobby he saw Mr. Staples, who stopped him as he
passed, stating that he did not wish the petition to be pre-
sented, as they had come to an arrangement with Sir
S. Whalley, who had consented to withdraw his opposition.
Ile then put the petition in the hands of Mr. Staples, went
home to his dinner, and upon returning found Sir S. Whalley
addressing the House on the subject.
Mr. HUME wished to know what conversation passed
with the Hon. Member for Greenwich when Mr. Staples
gave him the petition to present.
Mr. ANGERSTEIN said that he hardly recollected.
It was done in a hurry—tl?e contents of the petition were
hardly stated to him. After reading the petition he thought
it his duty to take the earliest opportunity of presenting it.
Mr. Benson Rose, one of the Clerks of the House, stated
that he attended the Portland CeMetery Bill. Ile recol-
lected questions arising about the insertion of certain words
in a clause. The resolution having been agreed to, the
words were handed to him by Sir Samuel Whalley,
and he then inserted them in the resolution,
under the impression that they came front the Chairman.
The next day he saw the Solicitor for the Bill, who in-
quired how the words had been inserted in the clause ?
To which he replied, that- if be thought there was any-
thing wrong, and if he would send the Chairman to him, he
would state the circumstances of the case. When he saw
the Chairman, he asked him whether he was aware or not
of the insertion of the words in the clause, to which he said
that he was not, and that if lie had been, he should have op-
posed the insertion of any such stringent words in the Bill.
There was a discussion upon the introduction of a proviso
in the Committee ; the proviso referred to the exclusion of
Primrose-hill from the uses of the Company. In answer to
questions from Mr. Duncomhe and Mr. Aglionby, the wit-
ness stated that the resolution of Sir Samuel Whalley bad
been put after Mr. -Wakley's motion had been negatived.
Mr. Staples was then called in and examined by Mr.
Mr. DUNCOMBE, Mr. ANGERSTEIN, and Mr. PRAED, but
the examination was conducted in such a conversational
tone that we could not collect the import of it.
The witness having been ordered to withdraw,
Mr. AGLIONBY complained of the practice of alter-
ing the names of Bills before the House, which greatly
misled Members. In the present case the Bill was called
the Portland Cemetery Bill, and in the Votes it was called
the North Metropolitan Cemetery Bill.
Mr. HUME made a few similar observations.
The SPEAKER said that fault rested with the parties
who petitioned for leave to bring in Bills.
EXCISE LAWS.

On Mr. WALLACE rising to call the attention of the
House to the administration of the Excise Laws, and to
move certain resolutions therein,
Mr. BARING said that the Report which was the sub-
ject of the motion, had not yet been distributed among
Members, and he thought the House could not come well
to a-decision on this subject until it had been put in posses-
sion of that Report.
Mr. HUME said this was a subject that had attracted
the attention of the public for some years. The Treasury
ought to have the matter put into their hands, but as they
had not thought proper to do so, he trusted that the Hon.
Member for Greenock would persist in his motion.
Mr. WALLACE then said it was a very long time
since the question to which his motion referred had been
agitated in the country, and as yet no steps had been
taken to remedy the grievance complained of, although
by the reports which he held in his hand the existence and
extent of these evils were placed beyond all doubt. By
one return in his possession it appeared that in one depart-
ment alone (the Excise) a sum of upwards of two millions
was not accounted for to that House ; and he believed
it would be found that nearly as large a sum was not ac-
counted for in the Customs. The whole subject had been
most ably discussed in the nineteenth Report of the Com-
missioners of Excise Inquiry, which preceded the
twentieth ; and yet it was left to an ordinary Member to
call the attention of the House to the subject, instead of
the matter being taken up by the Government. The Hon.
Member then proceeded to read extracts from the
Report of the Commissioners, from which it appeared
that the number of persons employed at present in
the Excise department was as great as in the year
1797. The Conimissioners had all equal powers. The
consequence of which was, that the responsibility was
so di% ided that it rested nowhere, and the greatest
possible inconvenier ce resulted to the trading community,
between five and sx thousand of whom were affected
by the operation of those laws. The total amount of sala-
ries connected with the Secretaries' department was up-
wards of 7,0001. a-year ; and attached to this was the office

of correspondence, an office unknown in any other depart-'
ment, and, in his (Mr. Wallace's) opinion, wholly unneces-;
sary, the expense of which amounted to 6,0201. In _the
storekeeper's office there was a printing-office for the ex-
clusive use of the Excise department, which was pertina-
ciously continued by the present Excise Commissioners in
the teeth of the Report of the Commissioners of Excise in-
quiry. As an instance of the complicated machinery by
which the business of the department was managed he might
mention that eight proceedings were adopted before a tax
could be collected on a single house. The Report also re-
commended that the salaries of the Commissioners and
officers of the department should be voted by that House,
and net deducted by them from the revenues which they
received, and yet no step had been taken to carry that re-
commendation into effect. The Hon. Member concluded
by moving " that the Report of the Committee of the
Commissioners of the Board of Excise, on the twentieth Re-
port of the Commissioners of Excise Inquiry, be referred to
the late Commissioners, Sir Henry Parnell and Henry
Berens, Esq., to examine the same, and to report their opi-
nion thereon to this House."
Mr. HUME seconded the motion, and expressed his
deep regret that so little had been done by the Treasury
to carry the recommendation of the Committee into effect.
An Hon. MEMBER moved that the House be counted,
but the number requisite were present.
Mr. HUME proceeded to say that the Treasury pro-
ceeded with these expenses notwithstanding the recom-
mendation of the several Committees, and it was high time
that steps were taken to remedy the evil.
Mr. F. BARING contended that no blame attached
to the Treasury, and that it was unfair to call upon the
Treasury to proceed upon recommendations contained in
two thick volumes of Report, without allowing sufficient
time to go through them, so as to proceed properly and
with due caution.
On the motion of Mr. A. TREVOR, the House was
again counted, when 40 Members not being present, it ad-
ourued at a quarter to eight o'clock.
