means of influencing their electors by a menace of
disfranchisement ; they have provided- a remedy
against this evil. They have, in fact, created a parcel
of -burgesses of their own and, as the possession of
lards is an inevitable qualification to such creation,
they have possessed themselves of a charitable estate
in direct violation of the rights of the poor, and have
parcei:ed out that estate among persons who ha.ue
thereby become burgesses, and consequently the dc-
voted adherents of their patrons. No one would,
therefore, be inclined to doubt the assertion, that this
was no opposition borough : it was nothing else than
what was generally termed a maiden borough. But,
when the House had contemplated that fact, what
would be its feelings, when it appeared that this won-
derful instance of base and rofligate abuse in cha-
ritable properties was actually exempted from inves-
tigation, by that most unfortunate clause, which

mittee had received several important communica-
tions from members of the Church of Scotland, cer-
tifying their willingness to take advantage of the
Poor Education Bill, in order to correct many mate-
rial abuses in charities they were acquainted with.
A message from the Lords acquainted the Howe
that thcy did not insist on their proposed amend-
menta on the Slave Abolition Biil.

. HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE. x.
The Scots Cause of Thoomsoo r. Somerville being taken Into
final consideration, the Loan CIUNCELLOX offered some further
remark% and Lord RIEDZSDALZ delivered his opinion at some
length upon the ease. In the result, tile decision of the House
was, that the judgment of the Court below be reversed.
Mr. T. P. IOuIeTNIT, accompanied by other Members, appeared
at the Bor. and presented a Message from the Commons, re.
questing a conference with their Lordshipi on the subject of their
Amendments made to the Bill sent up by tbe Commons, and
entitled the Slave Trade -kboation Amendment BilL
The LORD CHANCELLOR having taken the pleasure of
the House, informed the Messengers that tke Lords agreed io
the desired conference, and had appointed the same to be geld
forthwith in the Painted Chamber.
Their Lordships, after a short interval. being informed thst
the COMMIS_ were waiting far the conference in the Painted
Chamber, nominated the following Lords to manage the conte-
mns on the part of the House, viz. the Earl BATHURST, Earl
di. lianntaroot, VIiKOIIIIt SIDMOCTR, the Bishops of CHUTES and
Uinta, Lord Nsms.a, and Lord las-rms. The Managers ac-
oledingly went forth, and on their Lordships' return,
lbarl BATHURST informed the House that the conference,
which was managed on the part of the Commons by Mr. Court-
sepand others, had been duly held; and the %tanagers stated,
Mg the Common. had disagreed to the Amendments made by
she Lords to the Bill in question, principally on the ground eh-
the said Amendments were irrelevant and unnecessary.

The Earl of IA %ERPOOL then moved, that theis:Lordships

The Earl of LAUDERDALZ thought that some of the pro-
visions of the Amendments alluded to might be taken up in a
separate measure in a future Session; and particularly observed,
that such regulations ought to be extended to the laindt of To-
bago and Antigua, which were proposed to extend to the other
West India Islands.

The Motion of the Earl of Lreraroot Was then agreed to, and
a Message ordered to acquaint the Commons of the decision of
their Lordships.

THE :•.70TS ACT REPEAL BILL.
Lord SIDMOUTII moved that the Standing Order No. 104
be suspended to-morrow. It it should be their pleasure thee to
agree to dispense with its operation, it would leave the house
at liberty to go on with the different stages of the Bill that slay.
Lord HOLLAND said, before he could accede to the Mo-
tion, be must know where they were going, and what the Mo-
tion was about. It was in the breast of any Noble Lord to
move to suspend all the Standing Orders.
Lord SIDMOUTH admitted the truth of the Noble Lord's
observati<.rs, but said it was not intended to go through with
more than one or two stages of the BilL
The Earl of LAUDERDALE asked if there was any prece-
dent for this Motion ? especially as there was no legislative pro-
vision on the table.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, it was the usual practice,
when not more than one stage was to be moved. Ile hoped the
Motion would be agreed to. Nothing was in view that was not
conducive to the general interests of the yet:limy.
Lord HOLLAND then suggested to take all the Stantrim
Orders into conshleration to-morrow.

This was acceded to by Lord Sln lOUTH. and the Orders No.
2d, 104. and 125 were ordered to be considered to-morrow, and

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Colonel thssaow, at the Bar, acknowledged the receipt of the
Addresses of Congratulation by the Queen on the royal mirriages.
The County Infirmary Bill was postponed to that day 3 months.

INSOLVENCY ACT.

Mr. LOCKHART said, he had often postponed
his intention to bring several questions connected
with this Act before the House, from an expectation..
that the subject of general insolvency would at some
period or another be bronvtht under the consideration
of a Committee. Not ordy did he intend to amend
many clauses of the said Act, hut also to extend the
period of its operation, which at present was only to
last for six months longer. He could not, he said,
consent that there should be no more than one Judge
in the Insolvent Debtors' Cour. ; and though he was
willing to admit that the duties of it could not be
more properly exercised than by the person who now
held that trust, yet where such weighty interests were
engaged, and so many complicated cases of extensive
bankruptcies were to be decided upon, he thought
one person quite inadequate to the fulfilment of all
its functions. Next he could not consent that the
Commissioners or heads of that Court should have
unlimited controul over all debts, as at present they
had, by an Act empowering the Court to liberate
persons who had contracted debts from the smallest
amount sometimes up to £1,300. Should he have
the honour to have a seat in the next Parliament, he
would propose a Bill to regulate those objectionable
parts of the Act; and he would further provide, that
the Court should have the power of compelling the
debtor to furnish whatever proofs or other materials
may be necessary for the proper adininistration of
the law in this case, instead of the creditor being
under the necessity of providing all these proofs, at
a considerable inconvenience and expense.
After a few words from Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY
and General THORNTON,
Mr. LOCKHART moved for an account of the
number of Insolvent Debtors committed, to the prz-
sent time ; also an account of their gross debts, and
the sums returned into the Court and recovered by
assignees, with a statement of the number of cases
where creditors have proceeded by the authority of
the Court against debtors.

Mr. BROUGHAM brought up the report on the
Education Bill. He said, in moving that the
report be printed, he would trouble the House with
a few observations on a fact which had just reached
the knowledge of the Committee. It related to the
abuse of certain charitable funds in the county of
Durham, where there was a charitable estate, consist-
ing of about 145 acres, the yearly rent of which
amounted only to the sum of £l6O, but which, if
properlf looked after, would amount to nn less than
£9OO, considering the great fertility of the land. But
who were the lessors ? The Lord Mayor and Corpo-
ration of the town. Who were the trustees? The
Lord Mayor .and the Corporation. And who the
lessees? Why, persons in the town, who, having in
their possession lands contiguous to the charitable
property, have become proprietors of it They are,
in fact, no others, than the said Lord Mayor and
Corporation, lessors, trustees, all in one, who have
basely aggrandized themselves by robbing the poor.
And to what use have these honourable persons con-
verted this property ? It is well known, that the
members of the Corporations arc elected by bur-
gesses ; and since by the law that says, " once a bur-
ge►s always a burgess," this said Corporation has no
