LIVERPOOL LOAN.

Mr. BIRCH, alluding to the Loan whisk, had
been lent to the Corporation of Merchants of Liver-
pool of £50,q00, at two periods, secured upon a to-
,bacco-warehoase, said, .it was access .4. to know,
whether the value of the security was equal so the
money advanced ? It was a sort of shed, thereat of
which ought not to he more than 42000 a-year; but
for which Government paid 45000 a-year. He con.
tended that the Right Honourable Gentleman ought
to have inquired into this subject before he advanced
the money, as it was a bad precedent. The brewers
and distillers might, under such authority, came tel
Parliament and ask for money on the sccurity of their',
respective buildings, alledging that the stoppage of
their works for want of money would injure the re-
venue. He concluded by moving for is An Account
of all monies advanced within the last ten years, by
'way of loan, without the authority of Parliament."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said, that Government had not acted tlje least clan-
destinely or improperly in advancing tits money ; it
was lent after the fullest public. inquiry. lie ea-
plained,. at some length,
,the grmnds on which the
agreement for the security had been consented to.—
lne warehouse was so much larger than what was
required as a deposit of tobacco, that a part of .it
had been appropriated to thp reception of kiit4 India
proddee. the rent Sity#6l4l)y Gin,efillnent was MOPS

fhe case, on the whole, afforded no grounds what-
lye, for inquiry.
Mr.WYNK insisted that this was mu of thq most

'ottonstitutional advance, that tad ever been made
of the public money. If the Right Honourable Caw
denten had come forward/ and asked foe it,ln'a pro-
per way, it would not have been objected to Ist kids.
lb toold not see what Government bad to do with
the dock of Liverpool, any more than withany other
dnek in the kingdom.
General G A SCO IGN E explained the investiga-
tions that had taken phce to ascertain that the sects.
rity of the warehouse was sufficient; it had even been
undervalued; as it had sometimes produced ICIO,OOO
a-year, and often at 7,000. From these premises he
concluded with asserting, that there could be no doubt
of the security being more than sufficient. The pub-
lic works which had been undertlken kir the Cot po-
ratiou of Liverpool, without the assistance (if Parlia-
ment, would amount to at 600,000 or 4700.000.—
The temporary assistance given them Oar their Dyck,
was, therefore, scarcely worth mentioding.
Sir JOHN NEWPORT thought the question did
not at all rest upon the ample nature of the security ;.
but he objected to the granting of any money with-
out the authority of Parliament. The same principle
mig!it be adopted Or every great port in the kangdons.
Lieneral-GASCOY NE explained.
Mr. IsANKES objected to the principle on which
the money was advanced; but was convinced that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer thought he was
doing his duty by lending it. It was, at all weenie.;
an objectionable precedent, and be therefore protested'
sgaint4 it. • • Unless for the notice that his Hottwaril
Friend had taken of this proceeding, he knew not tw
the ,House would ever have been ac4oainted with it.
Thr CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
mplatoed. He justified the advances. on the ground
that they were partial repayments by the Corporation.
Mr. BENSON asserted that the interest had been
regularly paid on these grants. The estates given as
'brevity, he considered to be worth e million and a half.
• Mr. W. SMITH made the same objections to the
principle of the grant as had been advanced by the
preceding speakers. He did not see the slightest de-
gree of blame in the transaction, MOTO than inadver-
tency ; but he wished to preserve the Gentlemen of
Government from falling sago any error of this kind.
Mr. BIRCH reasserted that the interest lead not
been paid ; and that the Corporation either did ap-
ply, or meant to apply to Govantnent for the maw
son of ilt4O1)0 that was due.

The mutton was then put and carried.
VACCIN •TWW

Mr. WYNNE, after alluding to the national be-
nefit of the propagation of this antidote to the small
pox, and observing upda the necessity of doing away
the prejudice that prevailed against it amongst the
lower orders, through some instances of its failure,
moved for leave to bring in a Bill "For procuring
the benefit of Vaccination to poor persons desirous of
receiving it."
Mr. BANKES said a few words on the advantage
of the process to society at large, and on the Lopes-
sibillty of preventing it from failing in a feivcases.
Mr. WHITBREAD thought it highly important
that it should not be supposed that because Vaccina-
tion had in a few instances faiisl, that inoculation
, with variolous matter had not failed also. Ile had
known instances of persons who had been inoculates'.
with the natural small.pos, having taken the Alec-
tion after a lapse of twenty pears.
Mr. BANKES thought there had ban as many
instances of failure in Cates of vaccination, sis in those
of variolous inoculation. We understood him, how-
ever, to be highly in favour of the tormer process.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
CoMMITTit of avreLv.
On the Report of this Committee being brought
up, and the motion -being made to agree with the
Resolutions, _ _

Mr. ARBU rHNOT, seeing a Right Honourable
Baronet (air John Newport} in his place, informed
trim that be had inquired in the Cummissary Ue•
octal's Department, for information respecting the
questions he Mad asked about adv., waitron' fur con-
tracts being inserted so the Irish Papers, end had
been assured that no such advertisements had ever
been seat to them by. at Department. Perhaps 1:1e
Editors bad inserted th&m on theit own authority, for
some purpose winch he snood no. divine.
Bit JOHN NEWYORT thought the Right Hong
Cetistleemen's ialurmation perfectly satisfactory, but
could not agree with bin to his inference.
On the molt:irons being read respecting the sums
for repairing the African torts,
Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, for thi information of
the Honourable Gentlenout who had questioned him
last night on this subject, Ire had examined the din:
terent Acts of Parliament, and found that all which
he had previously stated was correct.
Mr. GORDON thanked the Right Hon. Gentle-
man for the trouble be had taken, but as the forts
were originally established for the protection of the
' Slave. Trade, and as that Trade was now abolished,
be copld see no reason why they should not be dis-
mantled, anchhe money they annually cost be saved
to the country. He concluded by moving that the
Resolution be recommitted.
Atter some conversation between Mr. A,buthnot,
Mr. Nicholson Calvert, _she. Chancellor of ihst,Ea.,
chequer; Mi. Wm. Smith, Mr. Preston/ Mr.-Vesey
Fitzgerald, and Mr. P. Moore, the Resolution was
ordered to be recommitted on Wednesday next.
The remaining Resolutions were agreed to, and
Bills ordered accordingly.
The Report of the Ways and Means was then
brought up by Mr. Bitoange. The several Resolu.
tiuus were agreed to. and Bills ordered accordingly.
Mr. ARBUTHNO opposed the printing of the
African accounts, because the expence of printing of
them had increased from Bor ‘9OOO in a trw }cars,
to the enormous sum of re9J,OOO.
Mr. PRINITON and 'Mr. Was. Shims supported the
printing of the accounts.
After some observations front Mr. ARIIUTMNOT;
the CHANCIILLOR of the EcCucettlit, and Mr. WHIT-
MUD. they were ordered to be printed.
Mr. HORNER gave notice, for his Honourable
Friend, bir J, Newton!, that he would move to.

Mr. HORNER thought that it might be mama.
able to take away from a soldier the pay which b...
came due to him during his captivity, but that
would be improper to deprive him of the par due t p
to the time when he had been taken, and had fair j•
fulfilled his duty. He therefore advised the Noble
Lord to confine the object of his clause to stopping
the pay which would grow due whilst the man was st,
prisoner.
Lord PALMERSTON had no objection to 1.-..
cede to the al.eration suggested by the H 0060,011 .
Gentleman, and eaplained the reasons whist induce f
him to consider the other part of the clause necessar, .
Lord PRO BY wished the regulation to be este .

Lord PALP4IIRITON explained.

After some observations from Mr. Pitasrotr, Ce
lontl WOOD, Mr. WHITBREAD, and Mr. Licimitivr.
the Amendment proposed by Mr. lioaNut
agreed to.
Mr. BENNETT rose to propose several additions'.
clauses. There were books of laws and regulation.
for the army. and it would become the Noble Lore
and his colleagues to employ their summer leisure i.•
making a digest of those laws and regulations, chase
every soldier should be well acquainted with them.
The object of the first clause which he should pro•
pose would be to limit and restrain the power of the
Crown to dismiss Officers without a Court Martial.
This practice gave rise to many acts of injustice ane
oppression, and the welfare of the army required that
it should be abolished. He adduced several instance,
to prove the abuses to which it was liable t among::
these was the case of the Officers of the 83th Regis
ment, who, in consequence of a quarrel which had
arisen between the Major and another Officer. bac
been ordered to prosecutes and having refused wen.
,gage in a prosecution, which they considered at
groundless, had been dismissed the service without
being tried by a Court Martial. He thought it war
most improper and most anjiast to compel officers to
prosecute against their wishes, especially when they
were to be. punished in case of refusal fir failure...
The latter lie exemplified by the case of Lieutenant
Ree.esdale and Caprain Boyd, or the Miatia. He
then adverted to several sentences pissed, as he con.
ceived, improperly by Courts Martial. Tile case of
Ensign Cowell, who bad been tried by a Court Mar.

Sir F. FLOOD defended the c .nductof the Court

Court Martial he considered to be one of rtes most
houourabie tribunals tirlit could exist. It was Cern
or strict law on the ads side, sad of equity aliee
other.

cases to which he had referred, and vindicated be
