so late a period of the session, and said he should n:serve his
observations with respect to it for another tlpportunity.
Mr. WALLACE protested against the continuance in
office of the sheriffs depute. He should take care that these
offices, which were now sinecures, should be efficiently fixed
for the future.
Mr. HUME was surprised to hear the right Honourable
Gentleman opposite speak of the late period of the session.
He hoped that every one of the necessary measures of re-
form which had been introduced would be passed that House
before the Government consented to prorogue Parliament,
or to allow the session to close.--( Hear, hear.) He trusted
his Hon. Friend (Mr. Wallace) would persevere in his in-
tention of opposing the continuance of the present office of
sheriffs depute.
After a few words from Mr. GOUL BURN,
Sir G. CLERK said, that considering the very small por-
tion of the time of Parliament which was occupied with Scotch
subjects, he thought that Scotland, too, would be justified in
putting forward a claim for "justice," when measures of the
first consequence to her- interests were deferred to such a
period of tho Session as to render it almost impossible to
reckon upon their passing.—( Hear.)
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
REGULATION OF LIGHT-HOUSES.
Mr. P. THOMSON moved for leave to bring in a Bill for
the better regulation of light-houses. The object of it was to
place light-houses in England under the management of the
Trinity Board. The light-houses in Scotland and Ireland he
did not intend to bring at present under the supervision of the
samo Board.
Mr. WARBURTON was opposed to the proposed mea-
sure, on the ground of the expensive character of the Trinity
Board, the control exercised by which it was intended to in-
crease.

After a few words from Mr. YOUNG, and Mr. R. STEUART,
Mr. HUME supported the Bill as putting an end to the
system of private light-houses, than which nothing could be
worse. After that he trusted that Government would take the
whole subject into their hands.
Mr. HAWES complained of the constitution of the Tri-
nity Board. Professional men were two much excluded
from it.

Mr. P. THOMSON defended the character and conduct
of the Trinity Board, and contended, that during his know-
ledge of that Board he had never witnessed greater atten-
tion to the commercial interests which came within their
sphere. He was bound, also, as a Member of the Commit-
tee of that House on that subject, to say that it was difficult
to imagine a purer management by any body of men, who re-
ceived neither foe nor reward for their exertions; and where
they had been called upon to pay salaries, they had meted
them out with all due attention to economy.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
COMPENSATION TO THE OFFICERS OF THE

HOUSE.
Mr. HUME begged to ask the Right Hon. the Chancellor
of the Exchequer if he had fixed the time at which the sub-
ject of salaries and compensations to the officers of the House
should be brought under the consideration of the House ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
lie proposed to bring the subject under the consideration of the
House early on Wednesday next.
STAMPS AND NEWSPAPERS.
Dr. BOWRING begged to ask the Right Hon. the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer if he had determined on the period
at which the operation of the new Stamp Duties generally,
and of the new Stamp Duties on Newspapers, was to commence ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated
(as we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman) that it was
his intention to propose that the operation of the new Stamp
Duties generally should commence on the first of January, and
that of the new Stamp Duties on Newspapers on the sth of July.
HAND-LOOM WEAVING.
Mr. MAXWELL rose to propose his resolutions relating to
Hand Loom-Weaving.
Mr. WARBURTON observed, that the Hon. Gentleman's
notice stood No. 6in the votes. He begged to know if the
Hon. Gentleman was not present when the House came to
that number, in an early part of the evening ? Thus to postpone
a notice from one part of an evening to another, was in his opi-
nion a more objectionable proceeding than to make a motion
without any notice whatever.
After a few words from Mr. MAXWELL and the
SPEAKER, the former fixed his motion for the sth of Jul},
expressing his hope that the Noble Lord would give him an
opportunity of bringing it on on that day.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he could not give any
such pledge.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
LIVERPOOL DOCKS BILL. •
Lord F. EGERTON moved the further consideration of the
Report on the Liverpool Docks Bill.
Lord CLIVE moved the recommittal of the Bill on the
ground that the clause exempting the Docks from toll would
operate injuriously to other ports.
Mr. WILBRAHAM seconded the motion.
Lord SANDON opposed the re-committal. Other ports
had been exempted from toll, and he did not see why Liver-
pool should not have the same privilege. The bondholders of
the Liverpool Dock Company had lent their money on the as-
surance, and under the security, that the whole trade should
be liable to toll. He submitted to the House, that this clause
for the exemption of the places in question, as proposed by his
Noble Friend, could not stand without notice being given to
the parties interested.
Mr. JERVIS supported the re-committal of the Bill.
Mr. EWA R,T did not wish to waste the time of the House,
and therefore, as this was a question entirely relating to the
Standing Orders, he hoped the Speaker would have the kind-
ness to give the House his opinion upon the matter. It would
save much time, and he was sure the House would be satisfied

with it.
Captain EGERTON thought the House ought to weigh
the subject well before it decided upon it, otherwise it might do
great injustice to the parties.
Sir J. WR 0 TTE SLE Y dissented altogether from the pro-
position of the Noble Lord.
Mr. BROT II ERT ON supported the clause.
The SPEAKER said that if he understood the objec-
tion of the Noble Lord rightly, it was that the clause in ques-
tion ought never to have been introduced into the Bill, as it
was not in the power of the Committee, consistently with the
Standing Orders, to introduce such a clause. This was the
only material point for the House to consider. If there was
any alteration in a Bill, whether by way of addition or dimi-
nution, it was requisite that notice should be given, so that all
the parties who would be affected by the alteration should have
sufficient notice. Now the Committee made an alteration

with respect to tolls without notice, and this, necessarily, was
inconsistent with the Standing Orders. He hoped that the
House would always bear in mind that the Standing Orders
were made for the protection of all classes of the community,
and it ought, therefore, never to be held as a reason for suspend-
ing the Standing Orders, that the alteration that was made
would be without particular injury to individuals.—( Hear. )
After a few words from Lord CLIVE, which did not reach
the gallery,
Lord STANLEY said, if the object of the Hon. Member
for Liverpool was to throw out the Bill altogether, it would
be better to raise the question at once, and not to waste time
in discussing this particular clause.
Mr. EWART would feel it his duty if that clause was left
out to move the rejection of the Bill altogetlic.r.—( Hear.)
Lord SAN DON said it was his intention to move that all
the amendments to the Bill should be agreed to with
the exception of that clause, which related to the exemption
of certain places in Cheshire from the dock dues.
The SPEAKER thought the decision of the House should
be taken upon the other clauses first.
Mr. EWART contended that the clause in question was the
pr:liminary matter before the House.—( Hear, hear.)
The SPEAKER said the question would be put upon each
of' the amendments, and then it would be competent for the
Hon. Member to take the sense of the House upon that clause.

_ • .
Mr. J JERVIS would then be placed in a very awkward
situation, for he might not object to all the amendments, yet
he might not wish to vote for them. He would be willing to
take the Bill with all its faults if the places in Cheshire were
exempted, yet he would be obliged, if the proposed course
were pursued, to vote against all the amendments.
Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the amendment be
taken into consideration that day six months.
Mr. EWA R T rose amidst loud cries of " Spoke, spoke."
He would then take the division, upon the understanding that
involved it the principle of the Bill.—( Hear, hear—Divide.)
On the present occasion he was sure he represented the ma-
jority of the town of which he was the Member, as it was re-
presented by the Town-Council. That Town-Council came
before the House prima facie. The Bill which was pro-
posed by his Noble Colleague, took away from the Town-
Council the power vested in the old Corporations ; and the
question was, whether the power vested in a Corporation full
of abuse, should or should not be handed over to a Corpora-
tion in which these abuses had been removed.--( Hear.)
His Noble Colleague had proposed, with some apparent
plausibility, that the appointment of the Manager of the docks
of Liverpool should be in the dock rate payers. Now the dock.
rate payers were a most fluctuating constituency, on the con-
trary the Town Council were elected by thousands of their
fellow-townsmen. Besides this objection to the constituency
of the Dock rate-payers there was this, the wealthy mer-
chants of Liverpool could purchase as many shares as they
pleased, and by that means they obtained an undue influence.
Independent of that the Bill divided the police of the town.
The chief Commissioner of police gave evidence as strong as
possible showing the impolicy of dividing the dock police
from the town police. It was dangerous, and attended with
expense, to have two bodies of police instead of one. If the
clause had been carried in the Committee it was through the un-
paralleled exertions of the Hon. Member for Harwich, who, on
this occasion surpassed all his predecessors in the science of
whipping-in.—(A laugh.) It was against all the evidence, and
he could not help expressing his astonishment that his Noble
Colleague should advocate the separation of the poi:cc of Li-
verpool into two sections. Ile called on the House to throw
out the Bill. It took away from the Municipal bodies which
they had themselves created, that legitimate power that ought
to be vested in them—it was contrary to the principle of the
Municipal ReforM Bill,and to all the principles of sound policy
lie concluded by moving that the report he taken into fur-
ther consideration that day six months.
Lord SA N DON said it was very hard that a question of a
purely commercial character should be converted into a qUes-
tion of politics, and that Hon. Members connected with the
Government should sanction a course which must be produc-
tive of serious injury to the commercial interests of the coun-
try. The Trustees had made several propositions to the
town council, with the view to obtain an amicable and satisfac-
tory arrangement, and it was not until all these overtures were
rejected that the present Bill was introduced. The first great
struggle on this subject took place in 1825 and 1826, when
Mr. Gladstime endeavoured to wrest the power from the Tory
Corporation, and place it in the hands of the rate pa)crs.
The grounds upon which this struggle took place was, that
the Corporation was an irresponsible body. It might be said
that the case was now altered since the measure of Municipal
Reform had passed; but he (Lord Sandon) would ask, was
the town council elected by the rate payers ?—( Hear, hear.)
The Police attached to the Docks would by this Bill in no way
be connected with the Police of the Town, which was neces
sary and essential in order that the Company might have
complete control over those who were to watch the pro-
p(-y which was under the care of the Dock Company.
He would defy his Hon. Friend to sly that the Dock estate
