IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual time.
SOUTH METROPOLITAN CEMETERY.
On the motion of Captain ALSAGAR this Bill was
rad a third time and passed.
HUNGERFORD AND LAMBETH SUSPEN-
SION BRIDGE.

On the motion of Mr. HAWES this Bill was read a
third time and passed.
MEDWAY NAVIGATION.

Mr. HODGES moved the further consideration of the
Report of the Committee on this Bill.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL, after presenting a petition
against the Bill, said he was sorry to be obliged to trouble
the House With a few observations in opposition to this
Bill. The circumstances attending this Bill were very
unusual in Parliamentary proceedings,
.and such as had
never before come within his knowledge. The Bill was
not brought in by the Proprietors of the Medway
Navigation, but by adverse and hostile parties, and who
they were it was impossible for him to say, at least he did
not know them. There were clauses in this Bill, which
actually imposed on the Company the expense of the Par-
liamentary proceedings in obtaining this present Bill,
with which they had nothing to do, and in
which they did not wish to be concerned. When
the Bill was in Committee every facility was given
by the Proprietors of the Navigation for the thorough in-
vestigation of this matter. All their books and documents
here laid before the Committee in the most open manner.
There were no grounds, whatever that could be stated
upon which the ilouse could justify itself in pas Sing
this measure.—( Hear.) With respect to the 4tatement
that this Com pan r4C'te thraiers—in amber, Tr-arnottatz-
ed to -no more
~,than this—they required timber to re-
pair their wharf's and Beira,, ....Li the remainder.
Since his experience in Parliament he had never seen so
gross an invasion of the rights of property as was contem-
plated by the present Bill. The Hon. Baronet concluded
by moving that the Report be further considered that day
three months.
Sir J. GRAHAM seconded the amendment.
Mr: HODGES thought the course pursued by the Right
Hon. Baronet was rather unusual. He had for many years
heard great complaints of the manner in which the Com-
pany acted. Great stress bad been laid on the interference
of private property by the Bill, he contended that the Bill, in-
stead of depreciating would enhance the value of private pro-
perty. TheCompanyhad been trading in coal and timber,which
they had no right to do, because they diverted their tolls,
by doing that, into a source which they were not allowed
by the Act of Parliament. If the Company were re-
strieled from trading at all, was it to be supposed that
the compet7tion of private parties would not be able to
supply parties with this article at as cheap a rate as the
Company could do ? It was quite clear to any body reading
the evidence that the accounts of the Company were in
great confusion, and that the great body of the share-
holders had not had justice done them. If the Company
allowed the public to be supplied by competition, they
would be, supplied as cheaply as, at present, and the
Company would derive an increase of tolls from the
increase of the trade. He admitted that the term mono-
poly might be applied to this Company more strictly some
years ago, than at present. He hoped the House would
pass this Bill, which would give full effect to all the im- •
provements suggested by this Company, to the great bene-
fit of the public, notwithstanding the opposition of private
parties.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when the numbers were,

The Bill is consequently lost.
Sir R. DONKIN presented a petition from Berwick-
upon-Tweed, complaining of the inconvenience to which
they were subjected, from the distance at which the sessions
and assizes were held, and praying that they might be in-
corporated under the provisions of the Municipal Reform
Bill with the Northern Division of Durham.
THE BALLOT.
Mr. GROTE presented a petition from 200 inhabitants
of Leamington in Warwickshire, in favour of the Ballot ;
also a petition from a congregation of Dissenters in the
metropolis, praying for the abolition of Church-rates.
Mr. CUTL AR FERGUSON presented a petition
from Kirkcudbright, praying for an alteration in the Scotch
Municipal Reform Bill.
Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from Policia-
shawes, in Renfrewshire, praying that the 'rights of bur- I
gesses should be protected,, and for the introduction of vote
by ballot.
'"""Mr. RUTHVEN presented a petition from the parish
of St. James's, in the city of Dublin, complaining of the con-
duct of House of Lords, in refusing the same measure of
Corporate Reform to Ireland now enjoyed by England, and
praying this House to take immediate steps for a reform of
the House of Lords, signed by 1,270 householders of that
parish. In the sentiments of the petition he most cor-
dially and entirely agreed.

Colonel THOMPSON had been requested to support
the prayer of the petition, which he did with pleasure, in
order to shew that at least one English Member deeply
sympathized with Ireland.

Mr. WILKS presented a petition from two individuals
named Humphries, who were Clerks of Dispensations
and Faculties in the Court of Chancery, praying for com-
pensation, on the ground that their emoluments would be
much curtailed by one of the Bills now before Parliament
for the Commutation of Tithes.

Mr. HUTT presented a petition from the merchants and
shipowners of Hull in favour of the Bill for the better regu-
lation of the Trinity House in Hull ; also one to the same
effect from the Guardians of Hull ; and one from Hull in
favour of the Charities' Trustees Bill.

Lord F. EGERTON presented a petition from several
dignitaries of the Church, complaining of that part of the
Church Discipline Bill which empowered the Bishop to
summon a jury of nine clergymen for the trial of clerical
offences ; and one from tl.e same parties, complaining of
the Fourth Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners,
especially of that part of it which at once transferred
the patronage, at present in the hands of the Deans
and Chapters, from them to the Bishops. The peti-
tioners also stated, that, upon the recommendation
of the Commissioners, no person had been presented who
was related to the Bishops or the Archbishops ; they
stated, further, that they were entitled to the whole be-
nefit of those recommendations, by which they were
affected ; supposing the House should still look favourably
upon the recommendation of the Commissioners with respect
to the transfer of patronage, still they contended they were
entitled to it in the nature of vested rights. The petition-
ers also stated that they viewed with alarm the 52d clause
