The Bishop of BRISTOL presented a petition from
Huntingdon, against any further concessions to the Ca-
tholics.

Lord ALTHORP and others from the Commons brought
up the Bill for preventing corrupt practices at elections for
Members to serve in Parliament, and to regulate the

expence.

Sir ALEXANDER GRANT and others brought up the
Land Tax Commission Bill. This Bill was of such a
very large size that the Lord Chancellor was unable to
carry it, and was therefore obliged to procure the assist-
ance of one of the officers of the House. The Disembodied
Militia Bill; the Grant of Sites for Public Works Bill ;
the Public Works Bill ; and the Game Certificate Bill.
Lord KING presented a petition from Robert Goutlay,
against the discretionary clause in the Larceny Consoli-
dation Bill.

Lord KINGSTON presented a petition from the parish
of Kihnacaby, praying for the removal of the Roman Ca-
tholic disabilities.

Lord TEYNHAM, in moving for a return of the num-
ber of Crown Leases, refused by the Commissioners of
Land Revenue, from 1820 to 182 f, inclusive, alluded to
the refusal to renew the lease of Spring Gardens Chapel.
Lord• CARLISLE said that Government had no wish
to refuse any information that could be granted, but be
wished the motion to be confined to the particular case al-
luded to, the Chapel in Spring Gardens. The Noble Earl
concluded by saying, that he had no objection to the return
moved for being made.
Lord TEYNHAM after the explanation which the Noble
Earl had given, could not refuse to narrow his motion as
desired. There was only another question which he wish-
ed to ask the Noble Lord,—whether the Noble Lord would
have any objection to give information respecting any other
case similar to the present ?
The Earl of CARLISLE had no objection to give every
information, should there be any other similar instances.
Lord CLIFDEN wished to know from the Noble Lord
opposite, whether the Chapel in Spring Gardens was a dis-
senting, or one belonging to the Church of England ?
Lord TEYNHAM replied, that the Chapel was held by
lease, and was called the Spring Gardens Chapel.
Lord CLIFDEN repeated his question.
Lord TEYNHAM said, it was a dissenting Chapel.—
(Loud cries of" No, no," from many of their Lordships.)

The Earl of MALMESBURY stated, that he had at-
tended the Chapel in question, and he was a member of the
Church of England.
REGULATION OF BANKERS.

Lord REDESDALE said he held in his hand a Bill
for the further regulation of keeping Bankers' accounts,
on which he wished to make a few obervations. It was
notorious that, in some countries, bankers were obliged to
produce a regular statement of their accounts annually. By
the law of Holland this was strictly adhered to, otherwise
bankers when they became bankrupts were not considered
entitled to their discharge in the manner they would have
been if they had regularly balanced their accounts. This the
Noble Lord thought an excellent guard for the public
safety. He once knew a large banking-house, which he
considered highly respectable and very solvent. As a
trustee, lie had money to the amount of a hundred
thousands pounds in that banking-house.

After a few words from the Earl of CARLISLE and Lord
111,DESDA LE,
Lord TEYNHAIII begged leave to withdraw his
motion.
