INDIA JUDGES BILL.

The House went into Committee upon this Bill.
Mr. HUM E wished to know whether it was the intention of this
Bill to make the Judges in India independent?
Mr. WYNN said, this Bill proposed to make none but verbal al-
terations, affecting the payment of the Judges' salaries, and placing
the Judges of Bengal upon the same footing as the Judges of Madras
and Bombay. ,
Mr. HUME objected to the of removing Judges at plea-

f. ipoWer
sure. The power of removing. Jurymen from India, without-
trial
or inquiry, ought to satisfy the Government of India without grasp-
ing at greater authority.
Mr. WYNN said. that this Bill_almed at no new power. The
power in question bad existed by the Authority of Charter for a con-
siderable time.
Mr. HUME should' ever contend, that this was a
power which ought not to exist in a place where arbi-
trary power was exercised to so fearful an extent. The
Less had been completely suppressed, no man dared to
express his opinions, and the acts of tyranny which ex-
isted over the King's-subjects in India for the last five
years, far exceeded all that this country had .ever suf-
fered from the Stuarts. The archives of the Right
Honourable Gentleman's office cant a.ned proofs enough
of the discontents of the people of India. Justice to the millions of
India ought to supersede any system of partiality and favour, which
be feared waa the ruling motive with respect to that country.
Mr. ROBERTSON saw no reason why the Judges should not
be independent, for it would always be possible to arraign them, or
the Governor-General, at the Bar of that House, for misconduct.
Mr. WYNN said, as the Judges were entirely inde-
pp ndent of the Governor.Geueral of India, being remov-
able only by the Crown, he believed it would not be
contradicted that there should be such a power some-
whete. Those who contended that it was not neces-
sary, would perhaps tell him what was to be done
in the case of a misunderstanding between the Judges
themselves, or between any of them and the Governor-
General? Half. Castes were certainly included as at to sit on
Juries, under the term " British subjects,' which was the term
used in the Bill. He thought it would be a very objectionable
course to arraign the Judges at the Bar of the House, the witnesses
being in India.
Sir C. FORBES protested strongly against the tyranny exercised
in India.
Mr. SYKES said, he was satisfied that the Judges in India did
not stand in the same situation of independence as the Judges heri.
Dr. PH I LLI MORE defended the measure before the House,
which was nothing but a Bill for equalizing the salaries of the Judges.
*Mr. HUME said, what be complained of was, that the time of
persons high in office here, was occupied in measures like this, for
adding to the salaries, without any attention being paid to the
greatest grievances of India. He complained of the exclusion of
the Half.Castcs from serving on Juries.
Mr. C. WYNN defended the Judges of India. They were men
of as high character and independent conduct as any in the world.
As to the power of deputation, it was granted to the East India
Company by their Charter, and might form a proper subject for
consideration when that Charter expired.
Mr. HUME asked whether there would be any objection, is
cases where from death or absence, only one Judge remained in
India, that a temporary Judge should be appointed ?
Mr. WYNN had heard of no complaint to justify such an aw
malous appointment. .
Several verbal Amendments were proposed and agreed to; and
(the House having resumed) the Bill was ordered to be re-cow
muted on this day se'nnight.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, he had received a communi-
cation from Dr. Doyle, in which he adverted to certain
charges made against him in the House of Commons,
insinuating that there were differences between his writ
ings and the evidence he had given before the Commit.
tees of both Houses of Parliament. He stated, that the
extracts from the Publication of I. K. L. had been gar-
bled and mi:quoted. Ile never held that a great Cor-
porate .property like that of the Church of Ireland was to be
touched, es rept in such manner as should be agreeable to the wis-
dom of P.irlidinem. /lc (Sir J. Newport) said, as this respectable
individual felt himself aggrieved, be thought It his duty to make
this statement to the House.

BONDED CORN.
Mr. HUSK ISSON moved the third wading of the Warehoused
or Bonded Corn Bill.
Sir M. W. It I 111.1 Y said, the duty proposed for releasing the
Bonded Curti was too high; 10s. a quarter was too much; Ss. the
quarter would be sufficient.
air. WODEHOUSE complained of the plan, and of
that fur ail,wing the Canada Civil to come into the
market. He slid it would nut be possible to prevent the American
Corn from getting into Canada.
Mt. I-lUSKISSON thought there was no reason for
alarm o t this point, because he understood that Corn
ccu4l not he transported by the neartst point, Mont.
al, at Oven less than '2oi. to ‘25:. a quarter ; but if it
were found that more than 100,000 quarters were imported, then
he should say it was not Canada Corn, and would agree to measures
to prevent such corn being brought to this country.
Sir -11AILVEY,trow his own knowledge, declared that. it
would be impossible to prevent American Corn from
.getting into
Canada, and thence transhipped as Canadian Corn. •

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that these
fears were, nttegly visionary, such was the geographical situation,of
the Corn;ind the impediments in the way. •• • '
Sir 1. COFFIN spoke to the like effect, and mentioned the great
natural obstacles &stint in thecountry.
Sir J. WItOTTESLEY observed, that the facilitiea of sending
Corn to Canada would be actively increased by the Americans
and others.
Mr. CURTEIS thought the Bill would be highly
injurious to the landed interest. , A cry of liberality
had gone Abroad over the country; he was for sum-
porting British consumption, which he considered the best means
of supporting British interests.
Mr IVOOLRYCHE WHITMORE thought the alarm
f the agricultural interest wholly unfounded ; even if
the bonded corn *was admitted into the market without duty, it
could scarcely affect the prices.
The question on the third reading being put, was agreed to with-
out a division.
Sir MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY moved, that the duty
should be seven shillings instead of ten.
Mr. WODEHOUSE, expressed his perfect concurrence in the
motion.
Mr. BRIGHT warmly supported the amendment.
Mr. HOME. SUNINER thought the lighter duty would not
withhold the bonded corn from market for•an bout in the face of
a promise of the most luxuriant harvest we.had ever experienced.
Mr. lIUSKISSON said he felt for the holders of corn, who, he
had no doubt, experienced great loss, but on public grounds be
could not agree to reduce th duty.
The ques ion on the amendment was put and negatived, after
whicb the Bill was read a third time and passed.

i"rEe OF SUPPLY.

The House re,olved itself into a Committee of Supply,
The CHANCELLOR of th,, EXCHEQUER said,.
that i ; proposing a giant to Mr. 7.l.Adant, he did not
think it necessary to t4.et,,in the House, as every one
was aw ire of th great impr vernent he had Mu oduced
into the making our load*, by a loch the communi-
cation sy.th the metiopnlis and vari• us parts , f the
count y .- as greatly facilitated. In the year 1819,
on lie recomniend4toin of the Poa-Office, an issue
of 20001. had been made to Mt M'A am. In tl.e
yesr 1823, Mr.M.Adam pressed she Tieasory ler a
tio ther giant. which he (the Chancellor f the Excite.
aver) e.,.p0 ed. .ut consented, that if Mr. M.A,I im
presented a Pe i ion tu the House, he would support he
appointment f a Committee, for the purpose of elicit' r
into t e toe its o h s services. The Petition w sin
consequence presented, and a Commit:ee formed, con-
sisting of persons of all opinions in that House
.; and it
was scarcely possible that an opinion more strongly
in favour of Mr. M'Adam's improvement could be ex-
pressed than that which was given by the Committee,
who concluded with recommending a grant to Mr;
M'Adam of two thousand or two thousand five hun-
dred pounds. He thought the improvement deserving
the reward that was recommended; and 'would there-
fore move, that a sum, not exceeding 20001. be granted
to his Majesty, for the purpose of rewarding Mr.
M'Adam for his improvements in constructing roads.
Mr. HUME could not accede to the recommenda-
tion of the Committee, nor to the motion of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer ; though, at the same time, he
did not mean to depreciate the invention of Mr.
*Adam. That Gentleman had-made out a bill of
expenses, for the labour of 1,920 days, to the amount
of more than 5,0001. The present motion would form
,a most dangerous precedent; he himself '.ad presented
4 Petition from two Gentlemen, of the names of Lister
and Bettersbn, who had formed a road exactly on the
same principle as Mr. M'Adam. He saw no reason
why, if the discovery of Mr. M'Adam was entitled to
reward, be should not have been paid from the Trea-
sury as well as other Civil Engineers ? Mr.M'Adam had
stated, that he had superintended the roads in 28 coun-
ties; and, if that• was the case, why was he not paid
for his labours by the Trustees of those roads? Mr.
M'Adam had formerly received a remuneration from
the Post-Office, and why was not that course adopted
on the present occasion? It was not so much to the
amount of the remuneration that he objected, as to the
mode in which the remuneration was to bc given.—
The Honourable Member here alluded to a Report on
the table, stating the remuneration that Mr. M'Adam
had already received, and what appeared to him to be
sufficient. One of the items in Mr. M'Adam's charge
was, for what he had done in superintending the new
street, and what he had done for several turnpike trusts.
Those who had received the benefit of Mr. M'Adarri's
services were bound to pay for them ; but upon the
Public there could be no possible claim; though with pain to him-
self, be must take the sense of the Committee against the grant.
Mr. N. CALVERT said, the public roads had been
greatly improved by the exertions of Mr. M'Adam ; but
he thought the services of Mr. M'Adam should be re-
munerated from the fund on of which the pensions were paid, not
illi'
out of the Consolidated Fu .
Sir M. CHOLMEL Y said, if Mr. M'Adam had al-
ready received £4,000, he thought be had got quite enough.
Sir T. BARING stated, that the present case would
form no precedent, as in the course of the last twenty
years there had been twenty-eight similar grants. The
Honourable Baronet then adverted to the case of Dr.
Jenner, to the inventer of the Life-boat, and to other
cases in which the parties had been remunerated by the
Public, and which he contended fully justified the grant
to Mr. M'Adam.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that whenever Mr. M'Adam had been employed by
Government, he had been paid like other surveyors.—
He was not prepared to go the lull extent that the Post
Office recommended.
Mr. HOLME SUMNER denied that there was any
invention in the case. He had • seen the same method
practised in his own neighbourhood for fifteen years.
He might be deserving of some reward. Mr. M'Adam
received 5001. a year from the Bristol Trust ; and in
the course of five years the family had received the
enormous sum of 41,0001.—(Hear; hear !)—The tra-
velling expenses of his son, William M'Adam, had
been given in at 7001. a year. Had he not already
been so amply rewarded, he would have thought him
entitled to the liberality of the House.
Mr. M ABERLEY observed, that if- the Hon. Mem-
ber for Surrey had been so long acquainted with the
system, why had he not applied it to the improvement
of the Roads in his County, where there was great
room for it? He thought that the case of Mr. Palmer,
who projected the Mail Coaches, and for which he received a grant
of 50;0001. was a strong precedent in Mr. M'Adanis favour. The
opinion of the Committee, before whom Mr. iel'Adarn's services
were brought, was almost unanimous in favour of the grant.
Mr. F. PALMER. said, the invention was certainly
not Mr. M'Adam's, neither' was the application of
the principle novel, as the roads about Bedford had been so con-
structed for many years past. He certainly should oppose the
grant. • He thought Mr. Telford, is an engineer, Was more worthy
of a grant than Mr. M'Adam. '
Mr. HART DAVIS suppbrted the Resolution, on the
c.f.( und that Mr. M'Adatu had been put to great ex-
penses in bringing forward a public improvement, and that the
public ought to reimburse him.
Sir E. KNATCHI3ULL said, he-did not think that
Mr. M'Adam was entitled to public remuneration. He had some
reasdd for thinkilfg that if this proposition should be agreed to, the
public • would be again called upon to guava further sum for the
services of that Gentleman .

Colonel WEBB said, that as a Trustee of the Bristol Roads, he
could declare; that his understanding was that the whole of :Tr.
M'Adam's time was to be devoted to those road., for 5001. per a:in
Sir IL WILSON thought that that agreement nal
altogether foreign to the question. Mr. il•Adam had
conferred great benefit on the community, and had
generously, upon all occasions, given instructions gra-
tuitously to people who came to him from
. all parts of the country.
He should therefore support the grant.
T.A CL AN D supported the vote. Thy advantages received
from the improvements of Mr. MiAdam were felt generally
throughout the country, and he thought hint highly deserving of
remuneration.
After a few words from Mr: P..sviorrili, :and another Honouratile
Member, the House divided—

The Report was ordered to be received on Monday Mt.
COUNTY COURTS BILL.

Upon the reading of the Order of the Day for
ceiving the Report cf the Committee upon the County
Courts Bill, an Honourable Member asked Lord, At-
THORP if it was his intention to mend compensati n,
for losses to certsin Officers, further than• he had al. ,
ready -stated ?
LordA LT HORP said,he had no intention of extending it further.
Mr. BRIGHT said, that he had a serious objection to giving
compensation at all, and, on the bringing sip the Report, would
take the sense of the House on the subject.
Air. HUME condetut,e'd the practice of selling offices
in Courts of Law, and had the greatest objection to
giving compensation to any individuals ; and wollci,
therefore, support Mr: BRMIT in taking the sense. of the. House
upon such a mischievous principle.
Mr. J. P. GRANT defended the necessity of composition in the
cases provided for by the Bill of the Noble Lord (Althorp).
Mr. C. W. WYNN supported the opinions of Mr. Grant.

The Report was then ordered to be received without a division. •
The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole
House upon the Irish Provincial Bankers Rill.
The several clau..s and amendments were agreed to, and the
Report ordered to br reCrived on Monday next.

QUAItANTINE LAWS.

On the motion of Mr. C. GRANT; the House resolved into a
Committee on the Quarantine Laws. •
_ _

M. J. SAIL thought the present system of-Qua:•
rantine wa, molt absnicl,. but-jet it ought to be fully
investigated. It was full of anomalies and obscurity,
but these should be pointed out. We should enter
into the history of the plague, and inquire into kao-
character. The question of contagion is a very doubt-
ful one. It is understood that a physicists olgreat,.
eminence gave his opinion, that England was perfectly .
safe from plague for eight months during every year.
No plague has appeared in *England, Holl.nd, ":dr
France, for more than 100 years. It' is not in. cot
ton, or woollen, or h sir, or goods of any kind that
the plague is brought, else it would hive arrived in
these countries frequently during the period he had
mentioned. Great difference of opinion existed among
physicians, and the opinion of many eminent' medical
men had changed. It was the opinion of some %Or
supported the doctrine of contagions, that Englafid
was perfectly secure horn the rava;.:ei f the yellow
fever. He (Mr. Smith) was in favour. of an essential
alteration in those laws, although he desired to keep
clear from giving any opinion on the question of.
contagion.
Lord A LTHORP said; that as far as the Bill before the House
went it had his cordial concurrence.
• Mr. HUSKISSON said it would be most agreeable
'to those holding official situations, if it could billed
cided that the Quarantine Laws were stuft•cessary..
Much learning had been displayed.on. this subject—at
both sides; he thought, however, thrre ..could be no
Doubt that plague had been infectious in some instances.
Mr. D. GILBERT agreed with the Right Hon. Gentlemm,'
that plague was conveyed in many instances by contagion. -He
understood, however, that by subjecting goods to a very high tem-
perature, contagion could be destroyed. •
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON said, he was in possession of papers
which, in his opinion, actually demonstrated the existence of, con:
tagion, and-which at a future period he meant to lay before the
house.
A Mums referred to some facti which had come within his
personal knowledge, and. which went to prove that the plague
was contagious.
Mr. HUME inquired whether the regulations adopted at blabs
by Sir Thomas Maitland, were continued ?
Mr. WILMOT-HORTON replied, that a Board of Health was
established at Malta, add coutinued to act.
After a few words from Mr. J. SMITH, the clauses and amend- •
meats ware agreed to, and the House having resumed, the Report*
was ordered to be received on Monday.
JUDGES' SALARIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice thy.
he would, on Monday next, move for a t ommittee of the whole
House, to take into consideration the Act 39 Geo. 111. with'
reference to an increase of the Judges' Salaries. The Right Hots.
Gentleman added, that the sub.w:t had been submitted to, and
received the sanction sit, hi. Majesty.
_ _

The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of. and the
Moose adjourned to 'Monday nest, at HAts-PAST Oat o'ci.ocr. •

The. affairs of Greece have, ai the commencement of
every Carnpakti, assumed a -gloomy aspect, and yet
have alwayi ended in the disComfiture and annihilation
of her enemies. Whether, such may be the result of
the new camp.2ign„,which.lias just .peened, time alone
can determine: thepreparations,on the pan of Turkey
are indeed &sit-11(661e, and yet we have so often seen
her armies and her navies defeatcdty the Greeks, that
the friends of their independence" shotild not despair.
.We should, however,- have entertained more sanguine
hopes of success, had the Greeks been unanimous ; but
the dissension of -the; Chiefs is a serious injury to the
cause. ComicoraoNi, • LONDO, and several other'
Chiefs, had taken. up arms against the Government ;
and the double traitor OnvasEtrs,.has, it appears, jpined
the avowed enemies of his country, after having, like
Jaffier, givet his Wife :iv a pledge of his fidelity to
new and unholy cause he has espoused. The day of
retribUtion, we trust, is not .far distant, when he will not
again be.able to abuse the ill-judged lenity of the Greek
Government.'

The lauding of the Egyptians in great force at.Mo-

don is confirmed, and %;e fear there is no doubt that
the relief of yatras has been effected by, a movement of
the Commander of the Egyptian Beet, who dispatched
a division of 11 sail for Zante, where they engaged.lo
Austrian vessels as transports, and the whole, ladcwwith
provisidns, proceeded for Para& No intelligence of their
having actually entered tbat.port has. reached us, but as
the Greeks had no blockading force before Patra; c.apa-

ble of opposing the entrance of such a fleet, there can be
little doubt 'of it. This supply would have been a most
seasonable one to the enemy, 'as' it was known that the
garrisons, both of Patras and Lepaistii, were pressed for
. .
flour, though they had a supply .of cattle. Notwith-
standing the late -.reports circulated at Zante, that the
Greek fleet was at sea,and that it was•sufficiently strong
to employ a division of SO sail to'act against the Egyp-
tian fleet, and one 'of equal force 'to attack that ex-
pected from .Constantinople, no tidings had Veen heard
of its movements, or of its having hemmed in that of the

The following is the mode which- 'the Government
adopted, to remove the revolted chiefs from the Penin-
sula and from Napoli, where credit was supposed to be
given to their repentance, at least for several of their
adherents. Admiral Miaulis, who !,fas at Napoli; and
with whom the matins were concerted, invited them
to dinner on board his ship. As soon as they were on
board Miaulis told them they were -his prisoners, and
sailed for Hydra.
Odysseus, who has embraced the side of the-Turks,
and-has thus shewn the extent of his confidence in the
affairs of greece, has repaired, With a hhndred soldiers.
to Negropont, where he has left his mother and his
wife as hostages, as an unexceptionable pledge of his
fifielity'tO'the cause ip,which he has engaged.
He was inexpugnable in his entrenchments on Mount
Parnassus, and nothing could have compelled him to
the extraordinary step-which he has taken : but be has
become convinced that there is more security and hap-
piness with the Turke than *with the Greeks, and he
has preferred living, and combatting with the former.
After- having intrusted his family to Omer Pacha, at
Negropont, he ;has repaired: to Zeitoni, to concert
measures with the Paoha of. Thessaly, relatively to the
operations of the campaign, which is going to open,
and which, as everything indicates, will be decisive.

0 Rare Bates" neglected budget of :old-fashioned excellence*
entitled Every Man bs his Humour, was performed at this Theatre
last night, chiefly for the purpose, we preshme of introducing Mr.
Youna as lately, a character which the hit Giddies Coox made his
own. The lately o[ last night, though an uneven, was an-exceNent
specimen of tho art; it was lively, cortieyonti spirited, Mr. Yogurt
throwing into it all that force of conception, and facility of execu:
ton, for which he is so eminent.. The scene where 'he fain would
entrust his suspicions of his wife to his faitSful servant, hut suddenly
changes his mind—and afterward<When it involuntarily escapes
him, was highly wrought, and presented a masterly touch of sterling
comedy. Captain Bondi:, Braininess, and the Justice, were done
ample justice to by AICSI" FAWCILVT, FA RILES and• Be.ANCHA RD
and Masters llatheseknd Stephen were very respectably sustained by
KZZLT (Who dressed his part inimitably) and MIA DOWS. The House
filled during the perbrmance, and the entertainments were received
with very considerable applause.

DRURY•LADIE THEATI4II6.--.The Pliy of William /WI
was last night repeated to a crowded and highly fashiouable
audience, with, if possible, encreased sneers..
