EMIGRATION.

The House having resolved itself into a Committee upoe
the Emigration Acts, and particularly the 6 Geo. 111.
o. 163.
Mr. WILMOT HORTON in the Committee, moves
that it be a direction to the Chairman to obtain leave of
the House to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the 6t}'
Geo. 111. cap. 16S. By that Act certain regulations were
made, torich:lg the conveyance of steerage passengers be'
tween Ireland and America, which were found to be er
ceedingly inconvenient in practice. The Act required that
greater room and greater accommodation for stowage shoulti
be given than was required by the class of persons wllO
were passengers by these vessels, and the consequence wear
that the passage was made unnecessarily expensive. The
object of the present resolution was either to repeal the
existing regulations altogether, or to modify them as the
Committee should decide. The measure had been recouv
mended by the Emigration Committee as a means of fsei'
litating emigration. As, however, that Committee visa
still sitting and receiving evidence, the question would still
be left open as to whether there should be a total repd
of the existing regulations, or a substitution of some otbzio
for them.

Sir JOHN NEWPORT was glad that an alteration WO
about to be introduced into these obnoxious regulationh
which greatly obstructed emigration.—(Hear.)
Mr. BARING was understood to support the Bugged'
tion.
Mr. Secretary PEEL thought it two the wisest coure
to let passengers take care of thernselyes.—(Hear.)
Mr. JAMES GRATTAN wished to know what tb6
Emigration Committee had done, or what they were about
to recommend ? Great anxiety prevailed on the subject ja
Ireland.

Mr. W. HORTON thought tho question premature.-°
(Hear.)

Mr. lILTME was surprised that there could be any doubt
as to the course proper to be pursued upon this occasioo•
Why not repeal these mischievous regulations altogetherr
and leave the carrying trade open. It was the surest wol
to encourage emigration.

Mr. W. HORTON conceded the general proposition of
the propriety of non-interference with this trade. BO
whilst the Committee was sitting, he thought it would 10
premature to come to any definitive conclusion.
The resolution was then agreed to, the Chairman re'
ported, and obtained leave to bring in a Bill founded epos
the Resolution.
The Salmon Fisheries Bill was read a second time. 00
the question of its being committed,
Mr. Secretary I'EEL doubted the practicability of frartv
ing any Bill which would apply to all the rivers in England•
Mr. KENNEDY assured the Right Hon. Gentlemao
that it was the opinion of two Committees that such et Bill
was practicable.--Committed for to-morrow.
