DUNBAR HARBOUR LOIN BILL. journed at 10 minutes to 6 o'clock.
On the motion f. ,r the second reading of the bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM asked tha Under Secretary of the
Treasury, to state the special cirduinstances connected
with this subject that rendered this application
necessary. As he understo ad the question, the
trustees of the Dunbar Harbour had made an
application to the Exchequer Loan Commis-
sioners for an advance which they had refused,
and the present application to Parliament was
the consequence. was no doubt desirable to make a
harbour of refuge between the Humber and the Foith
for the protection of the coasting trade, but be thought
Hartlepoel posessed the best natural fee lilies for that
pnrpoae, and he was therefore surprised to find this ap-
plication for Dunbar, which did not offer the accommo-
dation r,qeired. In all cases the advances of the Ex-
chequer Loan Company had been disas!rous to the un-
dertakings that had applied for their asdstance.
Mr. A. SMITH said he objected to the second read-
ing last night (Tuesday) in order that explanation
might be given by the Government relative to the
application. The construction of the pier in Dun-
bar Harbour cost 14,0001., and ho wished to know where
the money came •roin. He was inclined to believe that
it would be found it came out of the public funds. The
Scotch Fisheries Commissioners had reported on the
state of the harbour, and staad that it would require
6,000/, to repair the injery it had sustained by
tile sea. He denied that Dunbar Harbour was
of the importance that had been stated. He asked
for an explanation why the bill was introduced as a
public awl not a private bill, at so late a peino I of the
session, and why 20,0001. was to be guaranteed, when
6,0001. had been reported sufficient for the repars, and
the trustees had the means of raising that sum.
Mr. WILSON said that nothing wa,, more dangerous
than the endeavour to cause the Exchequer Loan Coin-
inissionet s to vary their determinatioa relative to the
advance of money. The bill was required to net rid of
a technical difficulty, and did not deprive the Exchequer
Loan Commissioners of any powers under their act of in•
quiring into the security for the advance of the money
The trusteeshad power to borrow 5,0001. on the toile', but
they required 20,0001. more to effectually repair the
piers, and the bill was rendered necessary in Cause-
quence. The security had been approved of. Dunbar
harbour was a harbour of refuge for fishing boats, and
not for general shipping, and the piers had been erected
for their accommodation and security. Unfortunately,
the pier was defectively conqiucted, and a portion of it
had been destroyed, and it was to repair it that
5,001/. were required by the harbour commissioners.
They had applied to Government to take the pier and
the tolls into their hands, but they bad declined.
• Mr. HENLEY said the effect of that arrangement
would be to continue the tolls on the people of Dunbar
against their conceit.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that the object of the bill was to allow the trustees of
Dunbar Harbour to borrow of the Government instead
of insurance companies. The perpetuation of the rates
was not involved in the question.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY doubted the security for
the money to be advanced, which was tolls to he levied
on lobsters and herrings. He asked to be informed of
the amount of debts oue by the corporation, together
with their gro-s income, cost of collection, &e. He un-
derstood the tru tees had already borrowed 5,0001.
Mr. CARDWELL said that if there was a prior loan
the effect of this loan would be to override prier mort-
gages. Ile considered the bill ought not to be pro-
ceeded with before the mortgagees had received notice
of the application.
Sir F. BARING thought more information should be
given why 20,0001. were required.
Mr. WI LSON explained the power of the Exchequer
Loan Commissioners, which was to:end money on Pal-
liainentary security. From information he had obtained,
he believed there was no prior mortgage. He would
make inquiries, and if he found it true lie would with•
clrtw the bill, and be no party to such a proceeding.
(Hear, bear ) With regard to the security, he was act-
ing on the instructions of the Exchequer Loan C immis-
sioners, who Lad investigated the matter. The sum of
20,0001. was required in consequence of the report of
the Scotch Fisheries Commissioners and an eminent
engineer.
The bill was then read a second time.
SUPPLY.
In reply to a question from Mr. Maarers,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Divorce and itlatrirnonial Causes Bill would be pro-
ceeded with on Friday.
HORSE ARTILLERY FOR INDIA.
Col. NORTH exeressed his disapprobation of the an-
swer given by the Under-Secretary for War relative to
his question in the early part of the day. It was the
duty of the Government to send out the Artidery in an
efficient state, both as regarded men and equipments.
Sir J. RAMSDEN said that a second requisition had
been sent to the War Office from the East India Com-
pany for horse artillery, but be was unable to state what
number the two requisitions would make up.
Lord A. V. TEI\IPEST called on the Government
to state what arrangements they bad made for meeting
the crisis in India. The country had a right to that
information.
Col. SYKES, on the part of the East India Com-
pany, said that no expense would be spared to put down
the outbreak. (Hear, hear.)
MILITIA ESTIMATES.
In reply to a question from Mr. DISRAELI,
The CHANCELLOR of the EX.O El EQUER said he
could not then state when the militia estimates would
be taken. There would be a committee of supply on
Monday, but he could not state if they would be then
brought on.
The house then went into committee of supply.
2,0001. was agreed to for the Board of Manufactures
in Scotland ; 5,0001. for the Commissioners of High-
ways, Roads, and Bridges in Scotland.
On ties vote of 10,0001. for bounty of slaves and slavers
captured by her Majesty's cruisers,
Sir F. BARING said that last year 12,0001. was
voted, 2,0001. only was paid on the vote, and he wished
to know what had become of the balance?
Mr. WILSON said he was unable to answer the ques-
tion. If desired, he would furnish a detailed account.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY reminded the house that in
1855 and 1851 12,0001, was voted in each year, and now
10,0001. was asked for. He should like to know what
had been done with the money ?
After some discussion, in which Sir G. PECHELL and
others took part, the vote was agreed to.
1,300/. was voted for the ciepense of the commis-
sioners to superintend the publication of the ancient
laws, Ice., of Ireland ; 9,000/. for the process servers in
Ireland ; 6,5801. for the payment of pensions, &c , in
connection with the merchant service ; and 1,5931. to
complete the sum required for the salaries of the office
of registration of joint.stock companies.
On the vote of 4,500/, for defraying the expenses of
the corn averages,
Mr. STAFFORD objected to the expenditure. „
