FORGERY OF STAMPS.

Mr. VERNON SMITH moved for and obtained leave
to bring in a Bill for the better preventing the selling or
uttering forged stamps on vellum, parchment, or paper.
Mr. HALCOMB said, with reference to the motion of
his which stood for today, for discharging the order of
the ith inst., that Mr. Speaker do not issue his warrant
for a new writ for the borough of Warwick till after the
commencement of the next session,—that, understanding
it to be consistent with the usual practice of the House to
suspend a writ under a Bill before the House for regulat-
ing the election of any borough should be disposed of, and
rnderstanding also that such a 8,1 l with respect to War-
wick was postponed till next session, he would also put off
49 motion till then.
mr. GRANT moved the order of the day for the
House resolving itself into a Committee on the China
Trade Bill.

D. W. HARVEY took that opportunity of putting
a question to the Noble Lord as to certain returns which
had been ordered relating to the pension list, but which
had not yet been laid before the House. He wished to
know when those returns would be ready; but whether
ready or not in this session, he now gave notice that early
in the next session he would move for the appointment of
a Select Grttmittee to inquire into the grounds on which
each pension was granted.
Lord ALTHORP made a few remarks in reply, not one
word of which was heard in the gallery.

After a question put by Mr. EWA RT to Mr. C. GRANT,
which, as well as the answer of the Right Hon. Gentle-
man, were both inatNiable in the gallery—

ASSIZES REMOVAL BILL.

Mr. TOOKE availed himself of the opportunity of
seeing the Learned Solicitor-General in his place to renew
an inquiry made some time since by the Hon. Member fir
Liverpool, and in which his (Mr. Tooke's) constituents at
Truro were much interested,—namely, when the Assizes
Removal Bar, now in the other House, might he expected
to be completed, and what, if any, was the cause of the
extraordinary delay which had taken place. It was most
desirable that the Act should be passed within this ses-
sion, so as to influence the ensuing spring assizes, parti-
cularly with reference to Cornwall, by allowing of their
being held at Truro, in the centre of the county, instead
of at Launceston, which was on the confines of Devon, at
a distance of upwards of 70 miles from Penzance, and other
populous districts of the county.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was much mortified at
being obliged to return the same answer he had on a former
occasion: he could not account for the delay, it was not
;Ignitable to any one in authority, and, for himself, be

could say that he had used all diligence in passing it
through this House.—(Hear.)
CHINA TRADE BILL.
The order of the day was then read, and the House
went into the Committee, when several amendments,
chiefly verbal, were agreed to. The House then resumed,
and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow.
BANKRUPTCY JUDGES BILL.
Mr BERNAL brought up the report of this Bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL took that opportunity
of calling the attention of the House to a communication
which he had received from one of the Learned Judges of
the Bankruptcy Court (Sir John Cross, we understood).
In that communication the Learned Judge adverted to cer-
tain statements which had been made, as to the Judges of
the Court not having any duties of consequence to perform.
The Learned Judge denied the accuracy of that statement,
and, in his letter, said that the Court bad sat first on the
12th of January, 1832, from which ti ne, to the 30th of
April in the present year, it had sat 230 days, and heard
989 causes, and male 155 orders of court, and that there
had been no month since its first sitting in which it had
not sat to transact business—not excepting those months
in which the Judges of the other courts were in vacation.
The amendments were agreed to.
The Bill, with the amendments, was ordered to he en-
grossed ; the Bill to he read a third time to-morrow.
METROPOLITAN POLICE ACTS.
The House went into Committee on these Acts.
, Mr. S. RICE proposed a resolution empowering Lis
Majesty to grant nut of the consolidated fund a sum not
exceeding 60,000/. yearly, in aid of the parochial rates for
the support of the metropolitan police force. The effect
of the resolution would be to authorize the Treasury to
contribute a sum not exceeding 2d. in the pound towards
the maintenance of the police, so as to reduce the parochial
assessments to 6,1. in the pound, as originally intended.
Mr. THICKNESSE opposed the resolution, on the
ground that the country ought not to be called on to defray
a portion of the expense which properly belonged to the
metropolis.
Lord ALTHORP observed, that upon the general prin-
ciple undoubtedly the metropolis ought to support its own
police, but the peace of the metropolis being of the ut-
most importance to the country at large, and the police
being made available in various parts of the country as
well as in the metropolis, he thought it not unfair that a
small portion of the expense should be borne by the
country at large.

The resolution was supported by Colonel Evans, Mr.
Esteourt, the Attorney-General, and Mr. Hawes ; and
opposed by Mr. Aelionby and Mr. Benett.
Mr. THICKNESSE said he should take the sense of
the Committee on the subject.
A division took place—
For the resolution 49

ROMAN CATHOLIC MARRIAGES BILL.

On the order of the day for bringing up the report on
this Bill,
•
Mr. SHAW proposed a clause to prevent Catholic of
Dissenting ministers from celebrating marriages between
persons nut belonging to their own flocks, rendering such
marriages, if celebrated, void, and constituting the act a
misdemeanor on the part of such ministers.
Mr. Sergeant PERRIN said that the present Bill was
intended merely to repeal certain odious acts, and upon
that ground alone he would oppose the introduction of the
proposed clause into it. When the genetal measure on
the subject of the marriage laws, of which notice had
been given, should be brought forward next session, it
would be then fur the Hon. Member to propose that
or any other clause relating to the general law of mar-
riage. The present was only a particular measure to re-
medy a particular evil.

W. WOOD opposed the clause.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL also opposed the clause,
on the ground that the BM now before the House went to
mitigate the penal code, and that this clause, if adopted,
would aggravate it, as it would make that criminal which
might be at present innocently done by Protestant Dissent-
ing clergymen in Ireland.

Mr. O'REILLY opposed the clause, and supported the
Bill.

The clause was then put, and negatived.
i%lr. SHAW proposed another clause, to the effect that
all marriages celebrated in Ireland by degraded clergymen
of the Established Church, or of any other sect or congre-
gation, should be deemed null and void, and that any person
so celebrating such marriage should be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and dealt with accordingly.
Mr. Sergeant PERRIN also objectfd to this clause, on
the ground of the impropriety of introducing it into a par-
ticular measure like the present, and because it would be
forestalling the general measure that would be brought
forward neat session.

The clause was finally withdrawn. The report was then
agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time
to-morrow (this day).
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at a quarter to ten o'clock.
