PARLIAMENT.

DOUSE OF LORDS, Tit u itsDAY, MAY 1.

Earl STANHOPE presented a petition -from C. A. Thoin
son, of Ch!swick, which stated that the petitioner had, in 1811
and VIM purchased two -estates at Northaar and Pontry-Las,
for which he had paid, in part, upwards of 80,0001., and grant-
ed a mortgage for 60,000/. (for the remainder of the purchase-
money.). Being'unable to pay off the mortgage in 1321, he
offered the estates for sale, but was unable to get for them (in,
consequence of the altered Value of the currency) so much as
would pay off the mortgage of 60,0110/., and the mortgagor was
in consequence now applying to ho put in imssession of the
two estates. The petitioner, therefore, prayed their Lordships
would be pleased to suspend the operation of the law by which
the mortgagor was enabled to take from him his estates, and
to pass a law for the equitable adjustment of all contracts.
II is Lordship, in moving that the petition do lie on the table,
expressed his approbation of the principle of an adjustment of
contracts, and intimated his intention .of making a motion on
the subject at an early period. The petition was read at length,
and ordered to lie on the table.

The Weights and Measures' Bill was read a second time.—
The Profane Swearing Bill was read is third time, and passed.
The other Bills on the table were forwarded one stage.—Ad-
pjourned till to-morrow (this dty.)

SOCIETY FOR PROPAGATINGCHRISTIAN KNOW.
LEDGE IN THE HIGHLANDS, &c.

The Fiftieth Anniversary 'Festival of this Charity was Com-
memorated yesterday at the Freemasons"favern. At a little
after five. His Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, the Pre-
sident of the Soctety, took the Chair. There were about 180
Gentlemen present ; among them we noticed Robert Downe,
Esq. M.P., Joseph • Hume, Esq.'lll.P.,
The Duke's Band attended. and amused the company with
some pleasing Scotch Airs. 'rite gallery was filled by Ladies;
and on the cloth being removed, Non Nobis Donato, was sung
by Messrs.-Pyrie, Charles Taylor, Broadhurst, and Phillips.
The ,King's health was received, with three times three, and
the usual loyal toasts followed. • •
His 110 vat. IlictitEss, on proposing the lie:delis of the
Navy and Army, felt assured the company would not receive
the toast with the less satisfaction, from many of The leaders in
those noble bodies having been educated through the assistance
• aflbrded them by that Charity.—(Applause.) • •
The ROYAL CHAIIMAN then addressed the company.—
He said that he rose to thaw their attention to the, more parti,
cular objects for which they were then -assembled. 'llw Cha-
rity for whose welfare they had anet was founded in 1701,
anti originally took its rise from the benevolence of a few in. •
dividuals belonging to EdinbUrgh, whti denominated them-
selves" A Society for the Reformation of Manners. 7 Their
efihrts were necessarily confined chiefly to °b, em within or near
that Metropolis ; nevertheless the activity et its Directors soon
extended its sphere, of operation, and increased the patronage
and encouragement- • bestowed-6U it, tilrat, length it reached
the distant .glens and 'hills of the North, where swaerstition
and ignorance had too long. been. triumphant. Its beneficial
effects were soon evident : they gave additional influence to
the exertions of the Ministry of the 'Establiihed Clergy; and,

MEETING ofMERCUAN TS and BANKERS,

Yesterday a Meeting of the most eminent Mer-
charts and Bankers ,of the City of London, took place at the
London TaVern, for the purpose of adopting measures for the
greater security of the money advanced by them in the course
of their commercial transactions, upon the deposit of Merchan-
dim, and Goods representing Merchatalize, anti for a more ade-
quate Protection than is at present afforded by thc English
Law against the Fraudulent Conduct of Foreign Merchants.
Joitx SMITH, Esq., M.P., was .unanimously called to the
Chair. _ _

The CHAT rot Aw, in addressing the Meeting, said, that thin
subject was certainly one of the most important that had, as yet,
been submitted to a.public body. It was known to them that
Merchants, 'tankers, and other Capitalists were in the habit of
.
advancing money on the security of merchandise to a consi.
derable extent, as well on the deposit thereof, as in payment of
bills of exchange, drawn by the consignors from foreign,
or from one, port to another, within the United King.
dom. To encourage the employment of capital by means of
such advances, by which the amount of capital actualy engagtd
in commercial operations was increased, and the trade of this
mum.* was carried to a vast extent, was a sound principle of
national policy ; .but was to be lamented that no adequate pro.
tection was afforded 'by our law to such transactions. On the
contrary, the English capitalist advanced his money at his peril
and to his loss if the goods proved to be the property of any other
person than the individual drawing upon the c:edit of them,
although such fact was unknown and undiseoverable by the
person making the advance. To provide against such a hard.
ship it became the great body of the capitalists of the nation
to maim every effort. It was indeed the rule of his house not
to lend money at all on goods. Circumstances, however, might
occasionallY occur that v..ouljapnder violation of 'that rule ne-
cessary : but the law•upon,Wsubject was extremely uncertain
and unjust, and a deviatiiin from his,rule might be attended
with great danger to property. (*levelly speaking, indeed.
the practice of advancing money on goods was contrary to the
well advised system of commercial dealing. It was worthy of
remark, that our Scotch brethren had exhibited upon this, as
well as upon other questions, a much greater degree of pru.
deuce than we had exercised, as would be shewn m the course
of the discussion. In fact, the 2::ttglish low on the subject was
unfair and absurd in the highest degree ; for it went to prevent

the circulation of capital beyond any measure thateperhaps had,
ever been brought before Parliaenent. e • - _
Mr. FARRAND, M.P. rose to submit-certain Resolutions,
which, he said, had been drawn up under the legal opinion and
advice of Mrs. Kaye, Prolificld, and Kaye. He observed,
that the rule that a factor, though clothed with apparent owner-
ship of goods and the power, of sale, Could-net pdedge them, or-
dispose of them by barter of sale, originated in cases eetermined
a century ago, and. turned principally on apparent fraudulent
colhisionstetween the factor and the individual 'With whom the
goods were deposited—that the Courts of Law had carried the
,principle to such an extent, as to render all advances on goods
extremely dangerous, by exposing English Capitalists who ad.
vaneed money on merchandise, to frauds on the part of foreign
merchants which our system encouraged. The injustice was pale
pable. Any direlictions of duty, as between the principal and his
factor, ought to be visited with severe penalties, such as were pro.
vided in the case of agents who embezzled securities And other
effects deposited for safe custody ; but so far as other persons were
interested in the transaction, without knowing of any breach of
confidence committed by the factor, the principal ought to be
bound ,by. the act of his own agent.—Mr. Farrand then cited
proofs of the hardship and iinpolity of the rule Of law al.
proofs of the hardship and impoli&y of the rule Of law al-
luded to. If a merchant,, residing in another port of Great
Britain, consigns goods"to u London merchant, or factor, and
draws on him. in anticipation of the proceeds, the London
merchant or factor, though he has every reason to believe
the consignor to be the proprietor, and no suepitions of the
contrary may nevertheless be compelled to surrender the
possession of such goods, provided any other party, either
in England, Scotland, Ireland, or any foreign country, has
any interest iii them. If a foreign merchant being a creditor
of an English merchant, ships goods to the latter anti draws
bills of exchange in anticipation of the prociede of the full ex.
tent of his former debt, and the English Merchent.(who would
in law be deemed a factor) to enable him to meet the bill, if
his principal should borrow the amount from an English capi-
talist upon the credit of the goods, it was a question of doubt
whether the foreigner was not entitled to the possession of his
goods' without repaying the advances, although they were
applied in payment of his bill, because the factor having paid
only the amount of his debt, as between him and his principal,
would have no claim upon the consignment.. Here was a very
great hardship indeed, and one that had been felt severely.—
Again, if an English merchant should purchase goods in his
own namee and pay for them, and leave them in possession of
the same factor from, whom they were purchased, in order to
wait an opportunity to sell them at a profit, and, inconsequence
of the depressed state of the market, should obtain a loan from
the factor upon the credit of the goods, it would be competent
to a third person to recover the goods from the factor without
allowing any part of his advances, upon proof that the goods
were in fact purchased for his account: although that fact
was known only to such third person and his agent Even
the freight and duties on goods could not be safely advanc-
ed, unless the bills of lading chewed that they were the roe
petty of the party for whose account such advance might
be made. _ Another great defect in the existing law was,
that if an English capitalist had advanced money to a factor,
either residing here or abroad, upon merchandize, on which
the factor had a lien for advances made by him, that lien could
not be made available to the party that lent the money, but
the goods might be taken out of his hands by the true owner,
without paying to him even the money due to the agent or
factor. The Scotch law gave to the Scotch capitalists the same
advantage over the English merchants which foreigners pot.
eessed, and it was obvious thet it Would be for the advantage of
commerce that this anomaly should, be abolished, and the laws
of neighbouring trading communities should_be assimilated as
much as. possible. 01 the impropriety of the law the Judges
seemed to be aware, but they still acted upon it. Mr. Farrand
concluded with proposing Resolutions which embraced the
whole subject to which the attention of the Meeting was called,
anti moved that a petition should he presented to Parliament,
that an inquiry should be instituted into the state of the ob.
noxious law, and a remedy provided for the evils complained of.
Mr.. SHAW (the Banker) said, it appeared to him that too
confined a view had been taken of the subject. The interests of
the merchants were the only interests considered, at the s.srno
time that it was well known that the bankers were affected by
securities of a different description from those alluded t 0...-.
Bankers were in the habit of receiving Exchequer Bills anti
East India Warrants as securities. for n on. Exchequer Bills
were often placed in the hands of Brokers to sell ; but the
Brokers, instead of Making the sale, borrowed money on the
bills, anti the security became unavailable if the principal made
his demand. The same was the case with East India livarrants.
Mr. llaxxi:e• (the Banker) pressed the seine objection. As
Bankers they acted differently from the 31 erchants. They gave
no credit, but they were often led into error by giving money on
securities.

Pansitriutas said, there was a striking. difference be-
tween securities representing goods, and securities representing
Money. With respect to goods, they might be traced to their
apparent source surd ownership, and yet the law gave no pro-
tection to the person who advanced money on them, as a third
person might come forward to prove his claim. No intelligence
would secure the merchant. It was different with the Bankers.
If the Exchequer Bills left with them as securities were made
payable to bearer," they were, according to the decision of
the Courts, negociable. None, in fact, of the consequences at-
tached to otitis, could attach to Exchequer Bills. Mr. Fresh-
field, having answered some other objections made by the
Bankers, to the full satisfaction of the Meeting, concluded with
observing, that the question might sustain an injury in its pro-
gress in Parliament, if two subjects so materially different were
pressed together. Besides, he did not think in his conscience
that the Bankers needed more security than they had.
A MerchLt here rose and said, he thought the Bankers had
taken an interested view of this question, and were setting at
risk the remedy for the great evil, by the consideration for them-
selves. If the Meeting confined itself to the subject, as it wa*
stated by those who brought it forward', all the advantages which
the Bankers supposed were denied to them would follow.
Mr. 'l'. WILSON, M.P. said he felt for the foreign Mer-
chants. *Care should be taken that those who abused the trust
reposed in them by foreign capitalists should be punished. If'
it was easy for factors in this country to part with the goods con-
signed to their care, they should be made to feel in proportion
for the breach of confidence.

Another Merchant said, that in consequence of the knowledge
which foreign capitalists had of the state of the law, they were
unwilling to advance their money on merchandise; but if the
defect were remedied, the hesitation would no longer exist.
The CHAluwa thought the Officers of the Crown friendly
to a change in the law, and that if the question were brought
forward at once, the Bill might get through Parliament this
Session.

Mr. Ifsmitt v again suggested, that *resolution should be
adopted, including the securities which they were in the habit
of receiving.
Mr. FitEsnritLi) thought it was absolutely necessary to
keep the subject unmixed. Before the Committee of the }louse
of Commons an inquiry would doubtless take place, and the
suggestion of the Bankers undergo a proper investigation. The
introduction of it, however, now, would perhaps militate against.
the reception of the petition in the House.
A desultory conversation then took place, after which the Ite.
solutions were agreed to, and a petition to Parliament signal
Thanks having been voted to the Chairman for hisconduct in
the Chair, and to Mr. Farrand for bringing forward the sub-
,keet, the fleeting separated.
