AMERICAN TRADE.

Mr. F ROBINSON said, in bringing forward the
motion of which he had give❑ notice on this sub-
ject, the most convenient course for him would
he to move that the House resolve itself into a
Committee on the Convention with America.
The House then resolved itself into -a Com-
mittee.

Mr. F. Ronmsou said, that the House would
be aware that by the Convention part of the right
of his Majesty-to the coast of America had been
conceded by the United States, but that no muoi_
cipal law had been passed for enforcing that part
of the Convention. In the present state of the
law, therefore, if art American ship was seized for
fishing on the coast of Halifax, there was no law
by which iieh she could be condemned. For obviat-
ing this, he should propose that a power be given
to his Majesty in Council to issue proper instruc-
tions to the cruizers on that coast. He concluded
by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for this
purpose.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, it would be premature to
discuss the question now ; but he hoped that the
House would look at this Convention as most
important, and that it, would see that the interests
of the country had not been sufficiently attended
to. The consequence, he feared, would be most
ruinous, and would end in the destruction of the
fisheries.

The motion was agreed to.
The House then resumed, and on the question
that the resolution be agreed to, •
General GASCOIGNB hoped that suffiCient time
would be given to the parties interested to consi-
der the nature and effects of the proposed measure.
Mr. F. ROBINSON -said, that Sufficient time
would be allowed.

COMPLAINT AGAINST AN IRISH JUDGE.
Mr. MARTIN, in compliance with ,the request
of Mr. V. BLAice, agreed to postpone his motion
on this subject till,Thnrsday.
Mr. W. PARNELL moved, that, certain papers
illustrative of the mode in which Offices of Excise
.are filled, and 00 whose recommendation, be
laid before the House.
Lord CASTLEREAGH objected to the form of
the motion, as extending to private correspond-
ence.
After a few words from Sir J. NEWPORT, on
the suggestion of the SPEAKER, the words " offi-
cial recommendation " were inserted, and the
motion agreed to accordingly.
Mr. CANNING presented a petition from Liver-
pool against the Poor'Settlement Bill, which was
ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed.
The further consideration of the Game Laws
Amendment Bill was postponed to the 5111 May.

BARNSTAPLE ELECTION.
Lord CLIVE brought up the Barnstaple Bribery
Prevention Bill, which was read a
..first time ;
and, after some observations from Mr. BURRELL,
the second reading was fixed for that day fort-
night.
General HART gave notice, that, on Thursday
next, he should move for leave to bring in a Bill
to repeal all the existing Laws relating to the
duties on Town Lands in Ireland, connected
with the Distilleries in that country.
. Mr. GRANT 'wished that the motion might be
postponed, as he bad received sonic papers rela-
ive to the subject, which it was desirable should
be placed in the hands of Members.
General HART would have aeceeded to the
suggestion of .the Hon. Gentleman, but the mo-
tion was the result of great exertion, and being of
the utmost importance to Ireland be could not
agree to postpone it.
Mr. LESLI,II VOMITER NViiIIICd for delay.

Mr. PARNELL and Sir J. NEWPORT thought de'
ay quite unnecessary.
Notice was then fixed for Thursday next.
