WOOLLEN TRADE.

Lord Aucx LAND said that a bill for the better regulation of
the woollen trade having been brought before their Lordships,
he begged to move that the bill be referred to a select com-
mittee. After same observations from the noble lord, which
were inaudible in the gallery, the motion was agreed to, and
the committee were nominated. _

Lord AUCKLAND then presented a petition against the bill,
which petition was signed by not less than 20,0,70 persons con-
nected with the woollen trade.—The petition was ordered to be
referred to the committee.

Lord MEATH presented a petition front the parish of St.
Luke, in Dublin, praying for the better observance of the
Sabbath.

Their Lordships then adjourned at half-past six o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY, JULY 3.
THE BANK CHARTER.
In a committee of the whole house, Mr. CLAY moved as an
amendment to the 4th resolution—" That it is the opinion of
this committee that the allowance and remuneration now se-
cured by law to the Bank of England for the management of
the public debt, and other services rendered to the public,
should cease, and such services be gratuitously performed."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the arrange-
ment entered into with the Bank by government, and went into
a statement to prove that the profits of the Bank were not too
great. He doubted much if any company with a capital of
£10,000,000, would be satisfied with a profit of five per cent.
But in giving what he gave to the Bank of England, he gave
little more than six per cent.; and unless a private company
would be satisfied with much less than six per cent. he did not
think he would be justified in changing from the Bank of Eng-
land. The noble lord concluded by stating that if the house
did not approve of the arrangement he had made, they had it
in their power to annul it. The mischief would be to him, and
not to them.
On this amendment the committee divided :
Ayes ...

7th. The 6th and Bth resolutions being, as had been agreed
upoq, postponed. the house resumed.

dered to be received on Thursday.
On the house having gone into a committee on the Scotch
Burghs' Police Bill,
Mr. GILLON proposed to restore the burgh of Hamilton to its
ancient limits, for though the boundaries, as fixed by the Re-
form Bill, excluded the palace of Hamilton, yet it was under-
stood at the time that, for the purposes of future imposts, this
arrangement was not to be acted upon. The hon. member then
moved an amendment founded upon his proposition. A divi-
sion took place, and the numbers were—
For the original clause 75
For the amendment 27
• Majority against the amendment —4B
Upon our return to the gallery we found the house discussing

HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY, JULY 4.
The Speaker took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

LOld ALTHORP rose and said it was the understood intention
of the house to proceed with the Irish church temporalities' hill.
(Hear.) He was sure that the house would agree with him
that it was now absolutely necessary to devote ad the morning
sittings but two days in the week to the business that was ac-
tually in a progressive state, in order to terminate the labours
of the session in a moderate time. What he would suggest was,
that the morning sitting should be confined to the orders of the
day, so that such bills as were now in progress might be com-
pleted during the present session of Parliament.
After a few observations from Sir S. WHALLEY, it was pro-
posed by Lord ALTHORP that petitions should be received on
Mondays and Wednesdays, and that public bills and the orders
of the day should be taken on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fri-
days. ( Hear.)
Lord ALTHORP moved that the order of the day for the con-
sideration of the report upon the Church Temporalities (Ire-
land) bill be now read.
Mr. WYNN suggested, that as a relief to the Speaker, the bill
should be recommitted, on the understanding that the report
should be received immediately after.
The house then went into committee.

On the reading of the second clause, which enacts the ap-
pointment of the ecclesiasticalcommission, which is to consist
of the two Archbishops, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief
Justice, and the four bishops, together with three persons, being
members of the church of England, &c.,
Mr. LLOYD moved, that after the words "members of the
Church of England" be inserted the words, "not being in holy
orders." There would then be a majority of ecclesiastics.
Lord ALTHOUP could not agiee to the amendment of the hon.
member. Why should the circumstance of a person's being in
holy orders operate as a disqualification ? Ile thought it infi-
nitely better to leave it to the discretion of the Crown, and
should therefore oppose the amendment.
'On a.division the amendment was negatived by a majority of
102.

The other clauses, with some amendments, were agreed to up
to clause 50,

On the Chairman putting this clause,
Sir R. INGus contended that its preamble contained a most
arbitrary proposition. It stated that "whereas the revenues of
the archbishopric of Armagh and bishopric of Derry greatly ex-
ceed the revenues of the other bishoprics in Ireland, and it is
expedient to diminish that excess." Why, it might as well be
said—" Whereas, as the revenues of the Dukes of Sutherland
and Cleveland far exceed those of other Dukes, it is expedient
to diminish them also." (Cries of "Oh!" aad laughter.) If,
indeed, it had been stated that the revenues in question exceed-
ed the duties of the functions, then he should be able to under-
stand the proposition; but, taking it as it stood, he saw no rea-
son why its principle should not be app.ied, sr:wails mutandis, to
lay as well as clerical lords.
Mr. O'CoNNELL wished to know whether he was strictly in
order in moving as amendment that the present Bishop of
Derry should retain the income he now enjoyed during the rest
of his life. He was sure the people of Ireland would be better
pleased that the right rev. prelate should retain possession of
the present amount of his salary, because he was the only Pro-
testant bishop in Ireland who supported the cause of religious
liberty in Ireland. however staunch an advocate he might be
for p;litical economy, he still would urge this proposition, from
the feeling of gratitude which he entertained towards the right
rev. the Bishop of Derry ; and he cared not if he stood alone
and unsupported in his motion, because he thought he was per-
forming a duty in proposing it.
After some flintier discussion, the CHAIRMAN reported pro-
gress, and obtained leave to sit again at 5 o'clock.
The house then resumed, mid the SPEAKER havingadjourned
it till 5 o'clock, left the chair at a quarter past 3 o'clock.
