PARLIAMENrARY PROCEEDINGs.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MARCh i.

Mr. HARRISON and Mr. Annsts were heard as Counsel, and
witnesses examined, on the Baring Divorce Bill.
Mr. BROGIMIX and others, 'brought tip from the Commons the
Annual Indemnity Bill, the 20,000,000 of Exchequer Biqa' II il,
and the Transfer in Aids Bill, which were read a first time, on the
motion of Lord Brxi.ity.

Earl GROSV EN OR trusted to the courtesy of th-ir Lordships
to allow him to trouble them with a few words regarding himself.
They were aware 'that various speculations, many of which had
been attended with ruinous circumstances, had of late been under-
taken. It had happened, he was sorry to say, that he had been
misrepresented as having engaged in many of those. Whilst he
was in the country, he heard it reported that he had gained .CBO,OOO
by such speculations and on coming to town hr found that rumour
had doubled the seBo,ooo and made them 5e160,000. Nay,
progress was said to be still more rapid, and his gains to hale
amounted to little less than four or X 500,000. Now, there was
no truth in any of those reports, for he had engaged of late in no
such speculations. He said this for the sake of those who, on
hearing ,Of his supposed gains, might incautiously enter into ruinous
enterprises. At the same time he was anxious to state, that if spe-
culations were not extended ton far, if they Were bona Ale trans-
Setinns, and'carefully managed, he considered them as highly ad-
rontagrous, both:to individuals and to the country ; fur persons
carrying the. surplus of their capital and their industry abroad, also
disseminated with them the example 'mil the practice of their
*moral habits, and thus raised the character whilst they promoted the
interests of their country, lie had thought it his duty to say thus
much, to prevent the incautious from being taken in by dangerous
speculations, and at the same time to guard against being thought
altogether inimical to such transactions when they were directed to
proper objects, and honourably conducted.
The Earl of FA LMOUTU presented a Petition from the In-
habitants of-Penzarite, agaiust the Duty on Coats carried coast-
ways.—Laid on the table.---Adiourned. •
HOUSE OE COMMONS.

The STIMICSR took the Chair shortly before four o'clock, when
he proceeded to observe, that as there appeared to be an unusual
large attendance of Members at that early hour, he thought it
would be for the convenience of the House. that the names of thole
Honourable Members who did not answer to their names yester-
day, should be called over, in order to give those Members who
were there merely upon private business, the opportunityl of
leaving the House. He begged it to be understood that this was
not intended to be conclusive on those Honourable Members who
di.) not answer to their names.
The Clerk then called over a list of names, many of which were
not answered to, nor did the House display any sensible diminu-
tion of numbers.
On the motion of Mr. CALCRATT a new Writ was ordered for
the Borough of Bramber, in place Of Wm. Wilberforce, E,q. who
has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds.
Mr. I'. WILSON presented a Petition from the Parish of St.
John, Hackney, against the London Water-Works Bill.
Petitions were presented in favour of the Bill, from Shoreditcb,
B.thnal Green, St. Mary, Islington, and several other places.—
These Petitions were ordered to lie on the table.

- Mr. F. BUXTON moved the second reading of the London
Water-Works Bill.
Mr. W. WI LLtAMS opposed the motion, on the ground that
there were Water Companies enough already, and that any addi-
tion to the number would only create confusion, and draw down
ruin upon many of them. He moved, as an amendment, that the Bill
-be read that day six months.
Mr. EENIA NTLE supported the amendment. He con-
fessed be had gone into a Committee on a former Session strongly
prejudiced against the Water Companies of. the Metropolis, bat
cams out of it with a very different opinion.. He considered that
their efforts were in the highest degree laudable, and that the Me-
tropolis, in comfort and health, derived all the advantages of their
efforts. He thought the introduction of new competition would
be ruinous to some of the parties, and thus would the advantages at
present enjoyed be destroyed.
Mr. BUXTON contended that free competition in water, as
well as in all other articles • could not but be beneficial to the in-
terests of the Metropolis. The Hon. Member mentioned the case
of a schoolmaster, who had been raised in his water rate three
times, a hundred per cent. each time.
Mr. T. WILSON observed,. hat the Hon. Member who bad
just sat down had omitted to state whether the schoolmaster had
more than one boy when he began school, and less than fifty when
his rate was raised.

After a few words from Mr. Alderman C. Siam and Mr.
Cum's', the House divided:-
- For the Bill . . . 69
Against it . So
Majority for the Bill . ......39
CALL OF THE HOUSE.

Mr. BROUGHAM suggested that the House should proceed to
take some steps relative to the Order for the attendance of Members.
The SPEAKER said, that there was a difficulty in the case,
inasmuch as the letter of the Order would be satisfied by an attend-
ance on the House at any one period of the day, whilst the spirit
required that Members should attend upon the discussion of the
question for which they had been sununoned. The difficulty,
therefore, was as to the infliction of punishment for an omission
upon the delinquency of which the House was not agreed: The
Course which had been pursued had been to call over the list of
names whenever the House appeared full, by which means the list
had been considerably diminished. He proposed that this should
again be done.
After the list had been called over, still leaving many names
unanswered,
Mr 4 BROUGHAM observed, that some punishment ought to
be visited upon those who did not appear at any one minute of the
day, or any single period of the discussion. He supposed they
ought to have time allowed to twelve u clock at night. To-morrow
he would move, that the Serjeant at Arms Mould take all those
into custody who did not attend. And, in the meantime, he pro-
posed that the .Serjeant at Arms have the list put into his hands, to
note down the non-attendants.
The SPEAKER said, the usual way was, for the list to remain
in the hands of the Clerk, and Members to signify their presence
to him, otherwise the Honourable Member's proposal was per-
fectly equitable, and to-morrow they would determine on the
course to be taken.
Mr. BROUGHAM assented to this mode of settling it.
Mr. CLI VE presented a Petition from Oakingham in favour of
die County Courts' Bill.—Referred to the Committee on the Bill.
Mr. L. FOSTER presented a Petition from Dundalk against
the high rate of liciuses.
Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from Kerry, in favour of
the Catholic Association.

Mr. POWER presented a Petition from the Protestants of
Waterford, in favour of the Catholic Claims.—These Petitions
were ordered to lie on the table.
Lord STOPFORD presented a Petition from the Dowager
Duchess of Boccieugb, praying for some compensation under the
County Courts' Ml.—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. BROWNLOW presented a Petition from John
Kirby, a Roman Catholic Schoolmaster at Blennetville,
'in the county of Kerry. The Petition had been placed
itt his hands at the end of the last Session, and
during the holidays he made inquiry into the facts
stated by the Petitioner, and found that they were true.
The Petitioner kept a school at Blennerville for thirteen
years, with great respectability and profit. In conse-
quence, however, of the diminution of his pupils, he was
obliged to give up his sch«ol. Before he Oki this, how-
ever, he procured a certificate from the Parish Priest,
which established his good character. In Febroary last
the Hibernian School Society established a school at
Blennerville, and appointed him 'choolmaster. Hi%
scholars, in a short time, amountei to 1(X). About this
time the Rev. John Quill, coadjutor of the Parish Priest,
told him that he must give up te..ching the Protestant
children, tra:e.s he taught them according to the Roman
Catholic male. lie said he 'would rather go a begging
than comply with such an instruction. On receiving
