The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock.

STEAM-PACKET BILLS.

the St. George's Seam-packet Bill.
Sir M. S. STEWART presented two petitions of a similar
nature against the St. George's Steam-packet and the Dublin
Steam-packet Bills.
Mr. P. THOMSON said the attention of the Board of Trade
had been already drawn to these Bills. The one was intended
to increase the capital of a company already in existence, and
the other to create a capital for a new company. There were,
however, several objectionable clauses in the Bills, which it
would be more convenient to have altered or expunged in the
Committee, than to have them at that time discussed in the
House. He hoped the Hon. Member for Liverpool, who in.
troduced one of these Bills, would obtain the withdrawal of
these clauses by the Committee, otherwise it would become his
(Mr. Thomson's) duty to oppose the passing of these Bills.
Mr. O'DWYER expressed a similar hope.
The petitions were then referred to Committee.

Upton and Rashleigh Road Bill.—Bill read a third time and
