IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

THIS EVENING.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SiEA KER took the Chair to-day at a Quarter be-
fore Four o'clock.

Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of his intention to post-
pone the call of the House to Wednesday week.
Lord CASTLEREAGH presented a petition from
Glenarn, in the county of Antrim, in favour of the grant
to the Kildare-street Society. Great dissatisfaction was
experienced in that part of Ireland which the Noble Lord
had the honour of representing, in consequence of the
measures intended to be adopted by his Majesty's Mi-
nisters with reference to this subject, considering that
they had been treated with a want of care and attention
by the Government.
Mr. lIUTIIVEN observed, that in the North of Ireland
a great division of opinion existed upon the subject, but
generally speaking that part of the country were greatly
obliged to his Majesty's Ministers for the course they hail
thought fit to pursue with reference to this measure.
After a few words from Mr. D. Brown, Mr. O'Connell,
Sir Robert Bateson, and Colonel Sibthorpe, the petition
was ordered to be printed.
Mr. DUNDAS. presented a petition from the Principa
of the University of Edinburgh, the Lord Provost, anti
others, the trustees of a charity in that city, complaining of
a certain portion of the Reform Bill. In 1817, certain pro-

perty bed been bequeathed to the charity, and the trustee,
in the same year obtained an Act of Parliament to sell tle
superiorities, all of which gave the right of voting, but 0f
that right they would be deprived by the Scotch Reforhi
Bill. The lion. Member appealed to any Member at all
acquainted with Scotch law, to say whether or not thit
superiority did not give a clear and distinct right 01
voting, and if such be the case, which was clearly
conferred by a special Act of Parliament, the deprivaticu
of that right, which was a valuable property, should be
followed by compensation to the injured. In every
stance in which private property was taken for the public
benefit, compensation was given, and upon that prig gib
the petitioners prayed an investigation into their case with
a view of being compensated.
Mr. PRINGLE spoke in a very low tone, but was 110"
derstood to support the prayer of the petition.
Mr. CAMPBELL said the House had not heard of
single petition from a proprietor of English rotten boroughs
praying for compensation, and he regretted it should he
left to the Scotch to be the first who should claim it, for
the loss of that which they never had a right to.—(Hear'
hear.) In fact, it was not intended to take any propely
from the petitioners; their property remained, but the
power of voting was taken away, and the sooner that trs'
done the better it would be for the country.—(Hear.)
Mr. DIXON was surprised to hear the Hon. an
Learned Member class the case of the English rotten be'
roughs with that of the petitioners.—(Hear.) If the
House would institute an inquiry, it would be seen that
the superiorities in Scotland were legal qualifications, sod
ought not to be taken away.
Mr. GILLON observed, that the property would re'
main, and only the right of voting, which should never
have been possessed by the superiorities, would be taken
away. The only way by which the petitioners would be
injured would be, by the lessening the pride of the stir
riorities, which was enhanced in consequence of the poolf
of voting being attached to them.
Sir E. SUGDEN said the proprietors of boroughs to
England never contemplated such a thing as to demand 6
compensation. As these superiorities were in the nature
of burgage tenures, and as the English burg ige tenures
were to be done away with, he thought the petitioners
should not be entitled to compensation.
Mr. KENNEDY observed that the Bill merely deprived
a person possessing superiorities of the power of enhancing
their value by a system of political jobbing.—(Hear.)
After a few words from Mr. DUNDAS, Mr. CAMPBELL,
and Lord STORMOUNT,
Sir C. FORBES said, if their were any political jobbing,
it lay with the Ministers and the Lord Advocate—(
who, to effect the object they had in view, were robbing
and plundering, not only the freeholders of England, but
also those of Scotland. He contended that the freeholder
sil
of Scotland had as much right to their superiorities as any
Member of the House had to his estate— Hear)---

MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS.

awned the House to the bar of the House of Lords? :
hear the Royal Assent given to several Bills. The Speakero'
attended by several Members, then left the House, and%
their return the Right Hon. Gentleman read a list of t"i
Bills (for which Pee the Lords' report) to which the Ma

_
Assent had
ORBES been given.
Sir C. F then proceeded to contend, tbetsjsc'
the supetiorities were to be taken away for the PurrviSe
good, the owners were entitled to compensation. '.ll,
Hon. Baronet proceeded at some length to (leellial
upon the effect of the Reform Bill, which he designate j
revolutionary measure, without which the country lf
long flourished, and would still continued to do so, if his ')ilt.f
jesty's Ministers would let well alone. The great body °,
the people in the Scotch counties did not want Reforms,
they desired no such measure as that proposed, and P4-'
for one, would take care that not one of his tenali'
should have a vote under it inflicted upon him.—(Heave
hear, and laughter. ) He considered it the greatest cot-i
on the tenantry of Scotland to make them politicians, tb'
had no desire to have votes, and he would take care, t"'.,
instead of leases for seven years, his tenants should toy"
leases for six years and eleven months, and instead of
ing 501. a year, they should pay him 491. 19s. 6d. ,
Sir E. SUGDEN had nut at all objected to the su;
periorities of Scotland, but could not see the justice e`
the principles which would give compensation to Chest,
while it was refused in the case of burgage-tenures.
Sir 11. INGLIS supported the prayer of the peter
and stated his conviction that the petitioners bad ae'e
much less than they were entitled to obtain.

Mr. HUNT seconded the motion.
Sir J. NEWPORT thought that whenever the sli:slc,,e
of Reform was to be submitted to consideration o',..;;Si
House, whether in the shape of Euglish, Scotch; or

the fnllest attendance of the House ought not to be °lc

Mr. C. FERGUSSON agreed with the course pu-no

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Rcyal assent was, by commission, given to the the
lowing Bills :—The Surplus Ways and Means Bill;rfi
l
Waterloo-bridge Street Bill; and one private Bill. 1,
t
Lords Commissioners were,—th Lords Chancellor, d'
Archbishop of Canterbury, .end the Duke of Riclunee-rri
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, he wa9
t had fallen to the lot of so humble an individual PI
0 61
self to grapple or complain of the Noble and Let
Lord on the Woolsack. It had been said by to
Noble and Learned Lord that that House ura',
of
most disorderly he had seen. He (the Alare'do
Londonderry) must say, that he had never seen
04
Noble and Learned Lord rise to order, but the ot%e
attention was paid to him, and he hoped that r.t the itioid
that statement was made, to have seen some Noble
dt
more competent than him take up the subject• et'
undoubtedly considerid that the first duty of tile Phi,
son filling the situation of Lord Chancellor, W 59 atlis
attendance to his duty in that House. He (the Alarlgri
of Londonderry) had a motion relative to 1° lot
affairs, which he should have brought forwani
night even in the absence of the Noble Earl (Grey)'
vided the Noble and Learned Lord who was the ell3ettiose
of the Government on all occasion, and particularly too
referring to foreign matters, been in his place, but et, Oil
to the absence of both those Noble personages, be,o'ble
not bring it forward. Was it to be allowed that the 'ore
and Learned L..rd should take to himself such a large they
of praise for attention to the duties of his office, wben,hefot
had had such men as Canning, Castlereagh, and °""
who, he believed, had fallen a sacrifice to their Cp.
stant application to the cares of Government. IleNoble
one, would not hear such praises heaped upon the iot
and Learned Lord without entering his protest ag3aorl
them. Was it to be .allowed, also, that the Nob!, la'
Learned Lord should be in town, receiving large e,lbe
meats, and yet not attend to his duties in his place dto
third standing order on their Lordships' books referre
such a. case. It might be admitted to him and others:od!
had been bred in the camp to outstep the be tbe
of the orders of the House ; but it 50' 4,0°,
duty of a Lord Chancellor to know and to obey '
rules. The Noble Marquis concluded by throwing to
upon the House, stating that he was aware be °C .
Cif'
have left this subject to one more competent than 111-5,
but he felt it his duty to bring it forward, becaetted
felt it was the first duty of the Lord Chancellor to

The LORD CHANCELLOR said there bad for
been a charge made against any officer with less,. od,
lation than that which their Lordships had COO' tp3;
fhe last thing which he had expected Wa'' f re'
