IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
Mr. BALL (the Attorney-General for Ireland) and Dr.
Srccit were introduced by Lord MORPETII and Mr. Fox
MATTLE, and took the oaths and their seats for Clonmel and
Cashel.
Sir E. CODRINGTON rose to bring before the House
the petition of Wm. Boyce, late of the Royal Navy, of which
he had given notice, in consequence of a statement made by
the Hon. Member for Liskeard, that in no case whatever were
the pecuniary private transactions of (Beers interfered with.
Lord G. SOMERSET submitted to the House that it ass
not right to make ar,y statement of this kind.
The SPEAKER said that no person out of the House hat!
a tight to r(1 t
-)l`.chst,ted within the walls.
Capt. PECII ELL apprehended that it. was not the petiti,o:
but the observations of the Gallant Admiral which were now-
ebjected to,

Sir E. CODRINGTON wished that the case should be
fully understood by the House. If an officer borrowed money to
fit him out for the service, the authorities thought it right to
secure the repayment through the means:of that officer's pay.
The petitioner stated that he set out as a surgeon; that at the
peace he fell into d fficuities, and in the course of time his
debts became such that he was put into prison, went before the
Commissioners, became bankrupt, and delivered up the whole
of his property. The Commissioners on looking over the
accounts, seeing that he had given up the whole of his pro-
perty, meant to release him. The petitioner then stated
that upon the representation of the agent which the
petitioner considered to be a gross misrepresentation,
the Admiralty had struck him of his half-pay. He had
applied several times to be reinstated, but without the
least effcet ; and he had therefore nothing further to do
than to lay his case before the House. He thought the offi-
cers of the navy had been most improperly dealt with, and
he trusted, therefore, the House would take the subject into
its most serious consideration.
Mr. C. WOOD could not allow the statements of the Gal-
lant Admiral to pass without observation because he had mixed
up two matters that were totally distinct. He had mixed
up the punishment inflicted; by the Admiralty, and the inter-
ference with private concerns. The reason why Mi. Boyce
was struck off the list of the navy was, that in the opinion of
the Admiralty, he had been guilty of swindling. The Ad-
miralty thought if such were the case he was a disgrace to the
Navy, and therefore they adopted the course tbey did.
Captain PE C HELL deprecated the course adopted.
The SPEAKER said the question was a very grave one,
and ought to be discussed in a regular and proper manner.
In justice to other gentlemen whose names were down for
the presentation of petitions, the subject could not then be
gone into.
Sir E. CODRINGTON then gave notice that be would
call the attention of the House to the subject on the first Sup-
ply night.
Mr. RICH presented a petition from a Wesleyan Congre-
gation in Knaresborough, complaining that the servants of the
East India Company were obliged to attend upon idolatrous
wor,hip.
Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition, signed by 300
owners of small cottages in Birmingham, in favour of the
Recovery of Tenements Bill.
Mr. HINDLEY presented petitions from Stockport, in
favour of the Ballot, and in favour of Rowland Hill's plan of
Post-office reform. _ .

Mr. M. J. O'CONNEL L presented a petition from the
spirit dealers of Tralee, praying for protection.
Mr. M. PHILIPS presented a petition from Manchester
(wc believe), praying for a discontinuance of the sanction
given by the British Government in India to Hindoo idolatry.
Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition from the Dean and
Chapter of Canterbury against the Ecclesiastical Appointments
Suspension Bill.
On the motion of Mr. FOX MAULE, the report of the
Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill was received, and the Bill
ordered to be engrossed.
The Report of the Turnpike Acts Continuance (Ireland)
Bill was received.
Upon the motion for receiving the Report on the Arms and
Gunpowder ( Ireland) Bill,
Mr. HUM E said that there must be some mistake with re-
spect to this Bill, as he had received two letters that day es-
pr-s ing a hope that he would move that the Bill should be
eitbdrawn, vs it was fear .:d it mit,htte attended with evil cop-
se juencvs. If be understood rightly, the present Bill wvs
only a continuance of the one of last year.
The Bill was then ordered to be engrossed.
Sir G. GREY moved the committal of the 13.11 for the ad-
ministration of justice in New South Wales.
Mr. HUME said he had not seen the Bill, and he therefore
wished to know what its object was.
Sir G. GREY said it %l as the same as the Bill of last
Session.

After a few observations from Mr. HUME, the Bill passed
through Committee.
The Report of the Committee on the Constables on Public
Works Bill was brought up.
LIGHTHOUSES (GIBRALTAR) BILL.

The House went into Coriimittee on this Bill.
Clauses I, 2, and 3, werelagreed to.
On Clause 4 being proposed,
Mr. HUME objected to the tat of one shilling upon all
vessels passing Gibraltar being imposed. This country
allowed 250,0001. for the support of Lighthouses, but the
expence of the Lighthouses did not exceed 60,000/. or
70,000/. The remainder went into priva'e hands.—( Hear,
ar, hear.) It was said it was applied in pensions to
captains and s...a.inen by the Trinity House. If it were neces-
sary to apply such a sum in p.:tisions, it ought to go under the
proper head.—(Cries of " H ar, hear, hear.") The corn-
mei ce of the country was aire ,dy wry much taxed. This
clause was jut adding to the evil of giving to an irrespon
sible body like the Trinity House additional power.—
( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He would ask the Honourabl,
Gentleman at the Head of the Board of Trade on what prin-
ciple it was that they proposed to extend the power of the
Trinity-house to Gibraltar. No Government but a Whig
Government would se-k to give such powers to a self-elected
body like the Trinity House. He should move the exclusion
of tee clause altogether.
Mr. WA RBUR TON said the Trinity House had come
worst out of the inquiry on the subject of lighthouses. Wh),
then, was it to be selected for the purpose of superintend-
ing the Gibraltar lighthouse. The Ballast Board in
lreland and the Northern Lighthouse Commii.sioners went
upon the regular and proper principle of apportioning their
revenue to the actual cost cf the lighthouses. Let one of
t`tese Beards then be chosen. He should support the mo-
tion of his Hon. Friend the Member for Kiikenny.
Mr. O'CONNE LL put in a claim on behalf' of the Irish
Ballast Board, (of which be was a member,) for that Blard
had conducted itself best of any. It had diminished the taxa-
t; on on the public, and its members asked no remuneration
for their services, thus standing in proud contrast to the
Trinity House.
M. P. T H 0 M PSO N—This was not the time to discuss the
rival merits of their Lighthouse Boards. Trinity House, however,
had been proved before the Lighthouse Committee to have
conducted itself with great propriety ; and a Bill had been
pa=sed last Session, giving it additional powers. He did not
think the Board deserved the censure which had been heaped
upon it. Now with respect to the clause in question, his
Hon. Friend bad asked why put this lighthouse under the
Trinity House ? The reason for doing so was because Par-
liament decided two years ago that lighthouses should be put
under that Body, and the proposal now made was merely fol.
lowing out the precedent laid down in the case of Heligo-
! land. His Hon. Friend then objected to the toll, and said
there was a surplus revenue at Gibraltar. If so, it was car-
ried to the account of the public, and therefore paying this
charge out of the surplus revenue, would be nothing more
than making a charge on the public of the sum necessary
to keep up this light.—( Hear, hear.) His Honourable
Friend in this was contending for the principle of all lights
' being paid by the country, on which principle the House did
not agree with him. The Hon. Member said this was a mere
trifle. He ( Mr. Thompson) was perfectly aware of that.
The c3untry
had erected the lighthouse, and all that was re-
quired was a small sum for the annual expense of maintaining
it. The shipping interest was willing to pay these dues, and
he had introduced the Bill at their request and with their sanc-
tion. He hoped the House would agree to the charge in
the manner he had suggested.
Mr. WALLACE, as a member of the Committee two
years ago, begged to remind the Hon. Gentleman that it was
then understood that in case any new lighthouse was
built they were not to follow the track of the Trinity House.
He wished to know what was to become of the surplus in-
come of Gibraltar, was it -to go into the coffers of
the Trinity House? It was monstrous to collect a revenue
in the shape of lighthouse duty, under the name of charita-
ble purposes.
H (J ME said, that Gibraltar, since its capture, had been
a free port, and the effect of the Bill would be to destroy its
being so. He would put it to the House whether, for the
vke ,f a paltry shilling, it would adopt such a clause.
He wished to see the Light-house erected, but he thought its
erect!on should take place at the expense of the surplus re-
venue of Gibraltar or the surplus revenue of the Trinity
House.
Mr. P. THOMSON denied that the toll proposed by the
Bill would have the effete of injuring cornmer,:e.
Strangers were ordered to withdraw,
The House divided, when there appeared._
For the clause 92
For the amendment
Majority
The clause was then agreed to.
The remainder of the clauses were agreed to, and.the House
resumed.
