sion to express his indignation. at the neglect of the. Orders of

The Erith Canal Bill was moved to be read a
Second time.
Mr. R., WATID oppored the second reading.
Mr. PETER MOORE spoke in favour of the Bill.
Sir Joscpu YOIIKE, in ansvrer to an. observation
that this Canal was approved of by the Admiralty,
said, that the approbation consisted merel'y in this,
that they would pay toll on their Vessels going
through the Canal, in the same manlier as other
ships tivritld do. The reach which it 'was, pro-
-posed to Cut of was extremely had. In a paper
which had been cireulatcd, it was said that
f.'00,000/. was subscribed to this undertaking, bat
on inquiry at the Bill Office, he found-thiit the spb-
seriptions only amounted to 1.0,0001.31 in this case
the %vork could not on.
Mr. CALCRAFT said, a number of beneficial
effects were held out as likely to result, from this
undertaking. It had been said that 400,0001.
would be laid out on labour, 'and this would he of
the utmost consequerie at a tune when so many
disbanded soldiers and sailors would be unem-
ployed. But tlne whole cmiency ashheld ot4he.n
to
subscribers as only 310,0001. t
could 409,0001. be laid out in labour .done ? But
he apprehended that the Making the Canal would
be attendekwith considerable danger to the river
navigation; for it was likely to lower the depth of
wttter in the river, it was impossible to dispense
Altogether with the rivet navigation; fOry in frost,
the Canal would not be naii-ahte; and in that
case the supplies of this great Metropolis might
be endangered. lie- should move; by. way Of.

ELECTION EXPENCE BILL.
Mr. BrmoprlN brought up the Report of. the
'Election Expence Bill. On the•question that it
be read, •
Mr. LOGISHART opposed the reading of tue
lie-
port, as be thought the only operation of the Bill
would be to disfranchise Electors, and to procure
the return of improper Candidates. He moved
that it be read on this day six months.
Mv. Alderman SmlTu opposed the Bill, and sup-
ported the Amendment.
Mr. DOUGLAS, id a low tone of voice, replied to
some ()Nile arguments employed against the Bill,
particularly to those of
,destroying the influence
of the aristocratic body, and that it would injure
a large class of the community by. depriving them
I of their rights. lie was the last persim whq

*Lord -MILTON contended that the Bill, as now
amended by the introduction of the word " Coun,-
ty," disfranchised nine-tenths-of the 'Electors of
the kingdom. He thought that the Hon.,Qentle-
man (Mr. Lushington) , On n-former night, had in-
troduced'this word•in Hp insinuating Manner; witl
a sly, underhand, secret design" of thereby pro-
Curing the rejection.of the measure.. ,Pe moved
that"the..w.oed." Connty" should be expunged
lint the Sirekker decided that such A motion, co*,
'not in this way be regularly makkt, since the.H9use
had' already adopted it..

sinnating,-and repelled,,the el4qe of Jyhaving •in-
.froduced the word connty •with. a view ti) defeat

Mr. WvNis•lE•coritendA that if' tice SUL were
suffered to pass in ifs prescnt state, boil) Candi-
dates and Eleetots would reinainin .the same uu-

penitence of Parliament more than any other mea-
sure .what ever. He thought, notwithstanding,
that the Report should be brought up, that. the
House 'night lee how far it would be possible to
adopt the suggestions which it contained.
Mr. PlosE.,• in support of the Bill, contended,
that if the. money given to the Freeholder were
only just sufficient to entry him to the place of
'election, yet, by accepting it, lie was not an inde-
pendent man.
Mr. LtSCELLES objected \to,tbe introduction of
the word " County" into the Bill hut confessed,
that eVen •vithottt that word. he should have voted
against it. 'I-je deprecated the adoption of the
- system Witich an Honourable.Member (Mr.Wynee)
had talked of, of itinerant Sheriffs.
Sir J..N ;,:WPORT said, he should propose a clause
io be -added to the Bill on the third reading, to
enact that the elected should take an oath at the
Table, disavowing the ,having, given any' stints of
money; or meat and drink, to their electors.

ORDERS OF THE HOUSE.
Sir J. NEWPORT moved, that the Order of the'
House for the return of the Fees in the Courts of
Justice in Ireland he transmitted to the Lord
Chancellor and the several Judges in this country.
Mr. C. W. WYNNE thought it was correct to
transmit the Orders of the House to the Secretary
of 'in those cases where they were addressed
.to persons in any department of the police.
Mr. H. ApDINGTON said, he had admitted as
much on a former night.
The SPEAKER suggested, that if any difficulty oc-
curred in communicating the Orders of the House,

litate their transmission to the persous on whom
they'Were intended to take effect.

The. necesii ity of this harbour, Mr. PEELE stated
to have become evitfent to every person who wit 7
nes:v(l the delay which took place in the arrival of
the Waterford packets in this country from tilence,
From the- present arrangements adopted, a delay
of from twelve to sixteen hours was often experi-
,enced, and this would be completely obviated by
the plan which it was now proposed to adopt, the
expediency -of which had been proved by. the
. united testimony, not only of the Agents of the
I Post Office, brit of the Captains engaged in that

service.
Sir JOHN NEWYCART fully agreed in the neces-
sity of the proposed harbour, and considered it as
of great importance to the mercantile interests of

, . The CiIANCLOR of the ENCHEQUEIi brought
in a Bill for permitting the Exportation of Corn
and Grain, and moved the first reading of it.
Mr. ROSE could not forbear expressing the sense
of the monstrous mischiefs thLit must attend a se-
rious, alteration of the law, 'as it stood on this

subject.
Mr. CORE (of Norfolk) wished the House to be
.on their guard against the statements of the last
speaker. That Gentleman was always the sup-
porter of every measure of Mr. Pitt; he (Mr. C.),
thank God ! had been almost always among his,
opposers. If, therefore, he spoke well of the
Conduct of that Minister, he might have some ere-
dit for his opinion. The Hon. Gentleman had,
stated, that ~Kr. Pitt reluctantly agreed to the
pleasure adopted in 1604. He (Mr. C.) was one
of those G,:ntletnin who saw Mr. Pitt on the sub-
ject, and there mete niimy who could confirm his
statement of the opinions then expressed by Mr.
Pitt, and contradict that of the Hon. Gentleman.
. Rad he referred to Mr. Pitt in this wny with a
view to influence the votea of those Gentlemen
who were attached to Mr. Fitt's memory 1 14e
was firmly convinced, tlw.t Mr. Pitt was sincere in
1804. The questiOn.now ti'64l as to the protecting
price. He was not for that degree of price which
was to cover high rent 5 a system which must be
