GROUP XVIIL

Lownozir, OICELTZNIZAIVI, AND OXFORD.
The Committee on this group assembled this morning at
twelve o'clock; the Earl of Lincoln in the chair.
Mr. Llewellyn, an extensive coal agent, and agent also
for the Lord Lieutenant of the county where he resides,
stated that there was an extensive coal-fold in the neigh-
bourhood of Newport, Abergavenny, and Pontypool. He should
think upon a fair calculation that it comprised 104,000 acres,
in which there were already a number of pits open and
actively at work. Leaving out all the seams less than 18
irrles thick, he conceived that the bed of coal in the district
could not be less than fifty feet in thickness, while the bed
in the Forest of Dean was not more than 55 feet thick, and
did not exceed 16,000 acres in extent, of which only
7.000 acres covered the best coal. The coal in the
Forest of Dean could not be sold for less than 7e. a ton
at the pit's mouth, while the coal about Pontypool
would be raised for 4s. 6d. a ton, and sent to Newport .

One•half of the " Whole Term" Premium may remain on credit
or seven years, or one-third of the Premium may remain for life as a
debt upon the policy at 5 per cent., or may be paid off at any time
without notice.
In Assurances for advances of money, as security for debts, or as
a provision for a family where the least present outlay is desirable,
the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus will be found to be
particularly favourable to the Assured.

dered void in consequence of death by suicide, duelling, or by the
hands of justice. In case of death by the above causes, where the
Policies are rot assigned, the gross amount of Premiums received will
bo returned.
Claims paid in one month after proofs have been furnished. •

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITABLE TRUSTS

BILL.

1 Mr. ROMILLY said he would not press this Bill
during the present session ; but he would postpone it
till this day week, and on Tuesday next he would move
for a Committee to inquire into the operation of the law
on Roman Catholic charitable trusts.

The sccond reading was then postponed to this day
week.

POOR-RATES (IRELAND) BILL.

This Bill went through Committee pro forma.
On bringing up the report,
Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, who had risen at the
moment when the Speaker was leaving the chair, said
he wished to have entered his strong protest
against this Bill, and to have moved that it should
b 3 committed that day six months. He protested
against any change in this matter now, after what had
passed upon the subject during the present session ;
and,
second, against a private Aember of the House
dealing with so weighty a matter, and he called upon
the Government to come forward and state their opi-
nion upon the principle on which rating ought to be
founded in Ireland. Ile therefore moved that the report
should be received that day six months.
Sir GEORGE GREY said he had stated shortly the
grounds on which he agreed to the second reading of
the Bill at that time. Ile thought the Bill was one of
considerable importance, and when in Committee it came
before them clause by clause he would state his opinion,
But he was not prepared to say that the law at present
was in a satisfactory state, nor did be mean to say that
the principle of voting ought to continue as it was, or to
be subjected to change.
Mr. YOUNG thought the Bill was either a very ridi-
culous one, or one that would not be practicable.
Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD thought the House
would grant him a hearing for a very few moments.
He had proposed to expunge
the 6th clause, not because
he thought it bettor to expunge that clause from his own
view of its merits, but from the opposition that
had been made. In all cases the tenant was
compelled to pay the rate, with right afterwards
to deduct it from the rent, but the tenants were so com-
pletely in the hands of the landlord and agent that they
were not able to get back that portion of the rate to
which they were entitled. That had been stated to him
from good authority. He alluded to what had
been stated respecting the Earl of Wicklow's
(state. The valuation of their land was justly lower
than the rent, which had a most beneficial effect up( n
rack-renting landlords, but he thought that it
was most unjust to charge the tenant more than
his due proportion of the rate. The country
would be deceived if it supposed that the pre-
sent rate could be collected, or, in a word, that a
rate could be collected when no means of paying it
existed. It was high time that a different mode of levy-
ing rates should be adopted. The high courts of law
then might appoint a receiver on the estates of those
who did not act justly. Hu would not give up the other
clauses of the Bill.
London, England, 1847-05-12

Ono-half of the " Whole Term" Premium may remain on credit
or seven years, or one-third of the Premium may remain for life as a
debt upon the policy at 5 per cent., or may be paid off at any time
without notice.

a provision for a family where the least present outlay is desirable,
the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus will be found to be
particularly favourable to the Assured.

dered void In consequence of death loy suicide, duelling, or by the
hands of justice. In case of death by the above causes, where the
Policies are not assigned, the gross amount of Premiums received will
be returned.
Claims paid in one month after proofs have been furnished.

SANATORY STATE OF TOWNS.

Mr. AGLIONBY wished to ask a question oFihe Noble
Lord at the head of the Woods and Fcrests as to the
course which he intended to pursue with respect to the
Health of Towns Bill, as his intentions appeared not

to be understo.d. lli,l he intend to content himself
merely with reprinting the Bill, and then throw it aside,
or did he intend to proceed with any part of it during
the present session ?
Lord MORPETII said that he proposed to proceed
with a part of the Bill this session, and to apply it to
those towns from which petition had been presented by
the rated inhabitants.
THE THETIS FRIGATE.
_ _

Lord INGESTRIE wished to inquire of the Secre-
tary of the Admiralty, whether the money paid for the
use of the ships employed for the recovery of the treasure
lost in the Thetis, and what was its amount?
Mr. WARD said that the sum of 13,6721. had been
carried to the credit of the country for the use of these
ships. He had inquired of the Accountant-General of
the Admiralty, and had fund that a sum was paid in
the month of September 1834, and again in 1835, and
again in 1836.
BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.
Mr. BANNERMAN said he wished to ask the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department whether it was
his intention to bring in a Bill to extend the provisions
of the Baths and Washhouses Act of last session?

Sir G. GREY said the draft of a Bill for that purpose
had been submitted to him, but he must give it his careful
consideration before he could say whether he should be
prepared to adopt the whole of it.
AGRICULTURAL TEANNTS4 BILL.

__ HOLYHEAD HARBOUR OF REFUGE.

Mr. COLLETT wished to know when the—House
might expect to receive the report of the Commissioners,
appointed to inquire into the fitness of Holyhead as a
harbour of refuge?
Mr. WARD said that not a moment had been lost in
the proceedings of the Commissioners appointed to in•
quire into the subject. The Commissioners had thought
it necessary to proceed down to the spot, in order to exa-
mine the "holding" ground at the bottom of the harbour.
thought that the report would very shortly be laid
upJn the table of the House.
