PARLMMR.ViART PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSE OP LORIIS, JUNE 21.
Is the Appeal Cause. " I.ord Morton v. Stewart," some parts
of the judgment of the inferior Court were reversed and some re-
mitted.
In the Cause " Scotland v. Mercer," Sir SAIIIIIL RoMILLT
was heard conclusively In reply, and judgment deferred till
Wednesday.
In the Cause, " Smith and others v. Brown and others," Mr.
NOLAN was heard for the Appellants, when further hearing was
deferred to Wednesday.
A Plan for the New Street was presented by the Commbdo-
ners of the Land Revenue. _

Sir J. GRAHAM, and °Phan from the the Commons, brought
up the Irbh Treasury. the New Lottery, the Cape Wine, and
several private BIM, which were read the first time.
The Scotch Judicature BM, with the Amendments of 'liar
Lordships agreed to, was likewise ►rought up.
Upon the motion for the loan Bill going into a Committer,
Lord LAUDERDALE objected to the terms of the bargain, b
which he contended, that the Public suffered a loss of 1u per cent.
'l' hat, he thought, a grievous evil, especially in the present d.a-

_
tressed state of the country.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL observed, that the terms of ev ry
Loan depended greatly on the amount of thy annual etpetithiure.
The expenditure of the present year had necessarily exceeded to at
of last year by five or six millions, of course, the bargan was in-
flitenced in a sunilar proportion if that circumstance, but not in
ary nwasere exceeding the extraordinary situation of the coun-
try, not yet recovered from the effects of the Continental Sys-
tem. The terms obtained by Government, if not quite so fa-
vourable as those of some former years, were yet as good as the
circumstances of ti.e time would admit of. Bargains, indeed, had
sometimes been made apparently advantageousi but delusive ul-
timately, it was a'ways to the real interest of the State and of
the Public, that bargains for Loans should be fairly and l berally

made.
'1 he Earl of LAUDERDALE could not help main one
observation on what he had heard from the Noble Secretary of
State. '1 he Noble Secretary, in detentling the terms of the
Loan, had remarked,' that this country had not yet recovered
from the effects of the Continental System Did the Noble Lord
mean that our exports had diminished ? 'that, he believed,
would hardly be contended. The contrary b•ieg notoriously
the Let, ire could t'y no means admit that consideration as au
argument in favour of the additional lust to the Public of ten
per cent. cm :he Loan.
The Bill then went through the Committee, and was Oared
to he repotted.
Lord lIORINGDON presets. a Bill for the Preservation of
the Health of his Majesty's S'ubjecrs, by the more OE ctual
practice of Vaccine Inoculation, ..nd by pteventing the extension
of the Natural Small Pox. in the course of the last year, no
less than twelve hundred persons in London only had b...n de-
' stroyed by that dreadful malady. The practice of Vaccination
had received the entire approbation of the College of Physicians,
arid of almost every Medical Institution throughout Europe,
who had experienced and proclaimed its salutary effects. He
should not prorse any specific measure, or offer any opinion as
to the propriety of prohibiting atogether Inoculation for the
Small Pox. He should leave that tee the wisdom of their Lord-
ships, and content himself at present merely with a request that
the Bill be read a first he Bill was read accordingly.
Lord ZAtI.NVILLE permuted a Petition from Inc Shop-
keepers and other Inhabitants of Bristol, aga'nst the prevalent
practice of Aucrions.—Ordered to lie on the table.
Lord HOLLAND presented a Petitiou from the Friends of
the Baptist Missioners in India, praying for the father extension
of Chris ian Knowledge.—Ordered to lie on the Table.
Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from several persons
confined for DOA in the Isle of Man. His Lordship observed,
that he had formerly called the attention of their Lordsh ps to
the condition of thte.e in:happy persons in whose behalf the pre-
sent Petition was submitted, and he had hoped that something
would have been done in consequence, by the Noble Lord uppo-
sire (Lord Sidmouth), for their relief.
Lord'ilDMOlTlki had the satisfaction to acquaint the Noble
Baron that thevubject us which he alluded Int.i not escaped his
attention, but that a measure was in contemplation and would
be submitted to their Lordships for that purpose the first oppor.-
funky.
On the motion of Lnrd SIDMOUTH, the third erading of
the Tre.sents Bi.l was ordered to he read this day three months.
On the mama of lord MEINILLE, the Seamens' Family
Pensionliell went throigh a Committee, and was ordered to be

rt ported.
On the motion of the Earl of LAUDERDALE, the conside-
ration o 1 ate Borthwick Peerage was postponed to Wednesday
next.
EAST INDIA AFFAIRS.

The Order of the Day'for going into a Committee
on the consideration of India Affairs being read, on '
the motion of the Earl of BUCLINGULASISHIRE,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed, that
he should not object going into a Committee ; but if
the information which he thought necessary to guide
the judgment of their Lordships on that great ques-
tion should be refused by the Noble Lord, he should
then move that the consideration be postponed to the
next Session.
The Earl of BUCKINGHAMSHIRE then rose,
and craved the attention of their Lordships, while in
the discharge of his cfficial duty he should make such
observations as occurred to him upon the Resolutions
which lay upon their Lordships' table relative to the
future regulation of the Government and Commerce
of the British Empire in India. He was fully sen-
sible of the vast importance of the subject, but felt
encouragement under that idea in reflecting that it
was not new. The measures,which he should sub-
mit to their Lordships were founded on the well-
known regulations of 1793, and exhibited at present
only those features of difference which the experience
of twenty years had naturally supplied. It was the
opinion of the late Lord Melville, (than whom no
man was more generally acquainted with the whole
system of Indian politics and Indian commerce) that
the Government of India should continue in the hands
of the East-India Company. But to extend the corn.
merce, his plan, so far as commerce was concerned,
did not quite answer his expectations, and he endea.
voured afterwards to amend it. The private trade,
nevertheless, did increase, even under the shackles
that were imposed on it, while in truth the benefits
of that commerce were chiefly confined to foreigners.
In considering the Resolutions before the House,
their Lordships would perceive that they were calcu-
lated to yield to the English merchant those advan-
tages which had hitherto been enjoyed by foreigners.
He could conceive no injury whatever that was likely
to arise from the extension. He was aware of the
objection which some persons conceived to the re-
newal of the Charter on account of the possible abuse
of power; but it would at all times be competent for
Parliament to interfere and regulate and correct the
goirepanag. A W4s Dot unwary (or him 19 Pk*
