IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS EVENING.)

lIOUSE OF LORDS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack a,
Five o'clock.

MAYNOOTH.
The Earl of CLANCARTY presented a number of peti-
tions from Athlone, Kilmore, and several other places in Ire-
land, against the grant to Maynooth.
Lord DACRE presented several petitions from Birmingham,
Handsworth, and other places in the neighbourhood, to the
same effect.
Lord CAMPBELL said that, in the fulfilment of his public
duty, he had felt obliged to present several petitions against the
grant to lklaynooth ; but be had now the pleasure of presenting

one from Porto Bello and the neighbourood, in favour of that
grant.
Petitions were presented against the grant, also, by Lord
Monteagle, the Duke of Richmond, and by the Marquis of
Breadalbane, from a
great number of tie congregations of the
Free Church in Scotland to the same effect.
The Bishop of DURHAM presented various petitions from
the Archdeacon and clergymen in the different parishes in his
diocese against the grant to Maynooth.
Lord KENYON presented petitions against the union of
the secs of St. Asaph and Bangor, and praying for returns of
what the clergy received in those dioceses from 1835 to 1845.
Lord NORMAN BY presented a petition from a parish in
Wilts against the grant to Maynooth, and also a petition from
Droitwich, in favoar of the establishment of local courts for
the arrangement of small debts.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.
Lord COTTEN HAM presented a Bill for the consolidation
of the Jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in England and
Wales, in conformity with the reports of the Commissioners in
1836.

The Bill was read the first time.
INSOLVENCY ACT.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition in favour
of the revision of the Insolvency Act from the
traders and merchants in London. At all events,
there ought to be something done in the present sess-
ion of Parliament, to relieve these tradesmen, and unless
nobody else came forward to do it he should feel it to be his
duty to apply the remedy. He would much rather, however,
that the remedy should come from a recommendation of their
Lordships' House.
Lord COTTENHAM did not think there was any necessity
to make any inquiry into the subject, because it was suffici-
ently plain that the operation of the 201. clause---
Lord CAMPBELL had received numerous applications to
bring the subject before their Lordships, and he was glad at
what had fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord
Brougham). Still it would be much more satisfactory to him,
and, he thought, to the country, if the Government were to try
to propose a remedy.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said his Ni,ble and Learned
Friend's Bill was sanctioned by Committee of their Lordships'
House, and he would suggest that the Bill itself should be re-
ferred back to that Committee for re-consideration.
Lord ASHBURTON said, that in legislating upon this
subject, the House had displayed a reckless want of considera-
tion for the chief sufferers under the law, viz., the unfortu-
nate creditors. He concurred that some remedy ought to be
introduced, but was not desirous of returning to the old system
of imprisonment for debt.
Lord BROUGHAM was understood to give notice that on
a future day he would move for a Committee to inquire into the
operation of the law past last cession.
The LORD CHANCELLOR bad no objection to the ap-
pointment of a Committee, and remarked that if it turned out
that they had gone too far, it would be necessary for them to
retrace their steps.—The subject theta dropped.

(LEFT wSITTING.)

HOUSE OF COMMON.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
The Paisley Gas Bill and the Fotihnire Inclosuro Bill were
read a third time and passed.
BIRKENHEAD, MANCHESTER, AND CHESHIRE

JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Sir P. EGERTON moved that the Birkenhead, Manehes-
,er, and Cheshire Junction Railway Bill be permitted to pro-
ceed, the promoters being required to introduce clau,es pre-
venting them from taking the property of Mr. James Stanton,
in the parish of Runcorn, without his consent, and from taking
any_ property in the parish of Ince, for the purpose of construct-
ing the branch railway from Elton to Upton.
ESTCOURT said that the effect of this motion, if agreed
to, would be to overturn the decision of the standing orders of
the Committee, and therefore felt bound to oppose it.
A discussion then arose in which'Messrs. Tollemache, Milne,
Gibson, Verner, and Smith, took part.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET believed that it would
be mischievous to allow such a precedent to be made, and he
trusted the House would resist the measure.
Mr. DUNCOMBE said that this was a case in which they
might allow some relaxation to take place.
Mr. A GLIONBY thought that as the standing orders had
not been complied with, they ought not now to proceed with
the Bill without the means of inquiring into it, and they
ought not to go into any general notion of what was good.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For the motion ......... 66
Against it Bl
Majority —ls
On the motion of Mr. HAMILTON, the Dublin and Bel-
fast Junction Railway Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of Lord BERNARD, the Cork and Bandon
Railway was read a second time.
Colonel PEEL presented a petition in favour of the London
and York Railway.
Mr. GROGAN presented a petition from the Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor of Dublin in favour of the Pipe Water Bill.
AGRICULTURAL AND COMMERCIAL BANK OF

undertook rather more nor less than to deliver to
the holder of thrt note a definite quantity of gold of
defined quality. The House assumed that the isht3
of that promissory paper roust in fairness be subjected
to the regulations to which other forms of paper credit
are not necessarily subjected. That the issue of
promissory notes representing gold, and acting as a sub-
stitute for gold, differ in their character and extent from
other forms of paper currency. That those who issued
them were in possession of a valuable privilege—
valuable to themselves and important to the country--
the House would have a perfect right at any time to subject the
issue of that paper to such restrictions as might be deemed ex-
pedient for the public weal. The House acted upon another
assumption that with a perfectly unlimited and un-
regulated competition in the issue of paper, there was,
of necessity, no guarantee for the permanent convertiblity
of that paper, or, I should rather say, that the House
considered no guarantee existed where the competi-
tion was perfectly unrestricted and unlimited ; and
that, consequently, there was no safeguard against the
sudden and violent contraction of the circulation
thus deranging the monetary transactions of the country, and
shaking confidence in public and even in private life.
On these general assumptions, this House and the other House
of Parliament sanctioned the measure proposed by me, as the
organ of the Government, for imposing a certain limit on the
issue of promissory notes. lam quite aware that the interval
has been short since this measure has been in operation.—
( Hear, hear.) lam as well aware as any one can be, of
the necessity of being cautious in drawing inferences as to the
effect of that measure on the circulation and public credit of
the country, from so short an experience. But I must say. as
far as we can judge from that experience, we have a perfect right
to be satisfied with the measure passed last year. Admitting
that experience to be short, as far as it has gone it has been
decidedly in favour of the policy and justice of
the measure sanctioned by this House in the
course of the last session of Parliament. Sir, since
that measure was adopted. We have had a period of extra-
ordinary activity. We have a great demand for the ap-
plication of new capital to manufactures, and other
branches of industry. We have had an extraordinary, at least
an unusual degree of speculation in projects connected with
the internal improvement of the country—l refer more par-
' ticularly to the extension of the locomotion by means
of railways, and I find that the restriction imposed
last year has not in the least degree cramped or
fettered the commercial enterprise of the country.—( Hear. )
I cannot find that there has been the slightest check on the ap-
plication of capital, or the slightest ground for any complaint
that prices have been unduly affected, or that the increased
demands of the country could not be met on account of
the restricted circulation.—( Hear, hear.) I find at this
present time this arnqunt of specie in the Bank of England, in
gold coin and gold bullion, I 'find there is of both kinds in the
Bank of England about 13,5-80,000/. That the Bank is in
possession, at the present time, in silver bullion, of
2731,0001. ; in silver coin, 1,866,000/., making a total in the
Bank of England in silver bullion, gold bullion, and gold coin,
of about 15,542,000/. I do not find amongst many who op-
pose this measue a disposition to admit that there has been
increased confidence in the monetary transactions of the country.
