HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that their lordships
should resolves themselves into committee on the Dissen-
ters' Chapels Bill, the objects of which he stated, and the
principle of which he advocated in an able speech which
elicited cheers from both sides of the house.

The Bishop of LONDON opposed the motion, and con-
tended that the second clause went to legalise the illegal
use of a great trust. It was an ex pose facto liw to
legalise the use of chapels for purposes entirely contrary
to those for which they were founded. It proposed that
the application of the chapel for the last twenty years
should he decisive as to the intention of thefounder ; but
surely it would be far better to take the application of it
for the first twenty years of its foundation. The right
reverend prelate moved as an amendment that the bill
should be committed that day six months.
Lord BROUGHAM supported the bill of which he entirely
approved. Its object was to prevent litigation by render-
ing it unnecessary to inquire into the peculiar tenets of
the founder where there was an actual possession for thirty
years. Besides it was a common thing for persons to
leave sums to found chapels where doctrines were taught
diametrically opposite to their own.
The Bishop of EXETER said that although he stood, he
believed, alone in his opposition to the first clause of the
bill, yet in the exercise of his duty he felt it necessary to
resist the legalising of bequests which were illegal at the
time they were made, because of the illegality at that time
of the doctrines which they were intended to inculcate,
although these doctrines might have been since that pe-
riod legalised.
Lord COTTENHAM supported the bill, as did also Lord
CAMPBELL, after which
The Bishop of LONDON said he would not press his
amendment to a division, perceiving from the feeling of
the house that he had no chance of carrying it.
After some observations from Lord TEYNHAM, the bill
went through committee ; and their lordships then ad-
journed.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY.

Petitions were presented in favour of the Ten Hours'
Bill, by Lord ASHLEY, from the operatives of Wigan ;
from the hands in the employ of Mr. T. Greenhalgh,
Messrs. Lomax and Walker, and Mr. J. Hutchinson, of
Bury.
In answer to a question from Lord Sandon, Mr. GLAD-
STONE stated that he expected the bill for the alteration
of the duties would be passed in the course of a fortnight
or three weeks.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for leave
to introduce a bill to amend the laws respecting savings'
banks. The low rate of interest upon other securities
compared with that allowed upon deposits in savings
banks had induced investments of money there by many
persons not of the classes for whom these institutions had
been intended. He proposed, therefore, to reduce the
rate of interest in savings banks from 2id. to 2d. a day ;
and to enact that whenever the capital and interest should
amount to £l5O all interest should cease. This bill would
make some provisions for preventing abuses by persons
investing money in those hanks as trustees for others, and
would contain some regulations upon minor points.
Mr. FIUME said he bad long been persuaded that it was
a fallacy to quote the amount of the deposits in these
banks as a proof of the national prosperity.
Leave was given to introduce the bill, and soon after
six the house adjourned.

BANE or ENGLAND CHARTERS

Mr. Greene in the chair.

Sir R. Part then rose and addressed the house on the
important subject of the Bank charter. In 1833 there
had been a renewal of the charter to the 1,4-riot) of 1855;
but a rower was reserved by parliament to recon.ider the
charter wi hin ten years, which period would exp r
August next, and if that time was passed byt•the present
charter would continue until'lBss. It was therefore un-
der these circumstances that the government wished to
lay their views and plans before the legislature, and he
hoped the most impartial attention would be paid to th s
great subject. He did not as the House of COmnions o
come to any decision then, he only asked members to near
the arguments which would be offered, and well consider
the resolutions which would be proposed. He-asked for
no decision on the present ocoasion, but that the resolu-
tions might be onnsidered pre forma and attentively in-
quired. into (bear.) He honed no hon. member would
come to the discussion on this-great question with preju-
dit-ed feelings (bear, hear;) He trusted that nothing
which had taken place at public mee ings would bias their
judgment (hear.) His first proposition related to the issue
of promissory notes, and he trusted that proposition would
he fully and maturely discussed before any decision was
pronounced (hear.) He courted discussion on the mea-
sure and value of the standard coin and the principle of
paper. currency. The right hoe. bart. then took-a review
of the changes which had been made in the currency from
the time-of William the Conqueror to the present period.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT-ONE HUNDRED
LIVES LOS'', NEAR LLANELLY..

(From the 'Welshman of Saturday.)

A most dreadful accident occurred yesterday in, a col-
liery near• Llanelly. It appears from the partibulars we
have been able to. gather, that between two and three
o'cLrck yesterday afternoon the engine in the Penbwleh-
gw.yu.collierv. about two miles from Llanelly, caught fire.
After a. shoat time the engine with a tremendous crash
fell into the pit, shutting out ev,ry chance of escape for
the hundred men and children who were working in the
pit. All attempts to put oat the flames were vain. Ex-
ertions to extricate the sufferers were used incessantly.
but at eight o'clock last night not one of theroswas got
out of the pit. L: is much to.be feared, therefore, that
every soutahas perished.

A Court of Directors was held at the East Iwlia House
yesterdays, when Lieut.-Genera the Right Hon. Sir
Henry Hardinge, K.C.R., was appointed unanimously
Governor-General of India.

It is, rumoured that Sir George Clerk will probably
succeed Sir Henry Hardiuge as secretary at War.
In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, M.
Guizot declared, on the pre•entaiion of a, petition on the
suhj.-ct, that it was the intention of the goyernmeat to
abolish negro slavery in the French colonies,. and that in
so doing they should be•guided by the example and expe-
r:ence ut Great Britain.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1844-05-07

HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY.

Lord CorrextrAm, in moving the second reading of
hia hill to amend the r,la,icris of creditors and debtors,
explained that its object was to exte -d the remedy which
had been applied in 1838 !o executions on me-n, process,
and to release debtors trom imprisonment in any shape.
The-b 11 was founded upon repots, the one made in 1832
and t e other in 1840, to which the names of almost every
person whose position entitled his opinion to especial at-
tention were affixed, and who, although in each case dis-
sentinz mum other points, unanimously. ag, eed in the
r'commendations which were elibodied in the bill He
described from those reports the utter ruin, in morals as
well as est de. which imorisontrent tironi.ht upon the
debtor and his faintly, and showed also, nom, the same
authority, that this evil, to which about 5,000 persons
per annum were sot jectecl, was not necessary as a pi uee-
tion to the commercial interest. I-Ic then entered into a
review t f the legislation upon the subject down to the act
by which arrest upon mesne process had been abolished,
exposing th- inconsistency of the bankrupt and insilvent
laws, and contending that imprisonment, while infli4titt
great and most unjust cruelty upon the debtor, had en-
tirely failed as a safeguard to the creditor. Under the
proposed hill the debtor would be compe!led to give up
his propery the benefit of those to whom he was
d hteil. anti would receive as a compensating boon an im-
munly frou imprisonment. Th, distinc ion of the law
'between bmsroptcy and insolvency would be removed,
and the punishment of frau tuleat debtors would be left
to the ordinary tribunals, by which the coutrictilig debts
witt.out a pro.peet of raying them would be treated as a
substantive offence fir the consideration of a jury.
The LORD C ANCELtOR highly approved the measure,
and prom,sed it his cord al support.
Lord Brougham, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Den-
man, and Lord Campbell, severally expressed their ap-
probation of the bi.l, which was accordingly read a second
time.

SYRlA.—There is not, perhaps, in the world a country
so remarkable as Syria for the lustre of its early glories,
the vicissitudes of its fortunes, and the blood that has
drenched its soil. Its admirable fertility, the variety and
beauty of its climate, and its advantageous position in the
very heart of the ancient world, rendered it the chosen
abode of early commerce and civilisation ; but these very
advantages excited the ambition of conquerors, and many
a time brought dowp on Syria the desolating ravages of
war. The traveller treads at every step on the remains of
perished cities, and of monuments of art and industry that
testify the vast mipulation, the wealth, energy, and gran-
deur of the land in days gone by. To Syria we owe the
origin of our written characters; here commerce and na-
‘ization began their humanising career, and a multitude
of useful arts and discoveiie, %ad birth, or were carried to
tie highest deuce of oerfe( ; and—infinitely more

BRITISH HOLLANDS.
DOT/ OR DISTILLERY.

COLEMAN, POTTER, and GRANT beg to an-
nounce to the Inhabitants of Liverpool, and the
Public. that they have succeeded, after repeated trials, in
producing au article identical with the Foreign Hollands
of Schiedam. possessing its mellowness and aroma, with
a greater degree of purity. The Public need hardly to be
informed that the extreme price, owing to the high duty
of 225. 10d. per gallon upon Foreign Hollands, has always
operated again-t its general use. This cause no longer
exists, as C., P., and G. are enabled to offer their British
Holland., of the highest legal strength. at less than half
the co.t of the Foreign, namely, 16s. per gallon, or 365.
per case, containing 12 bottles.
N.B.—The Trade supplied on liberal terms, and in casks
of all sizes.

THE DOCK BILL.

The Liverpool Dock Bill, as it passed the Committee
of the House of Commons, was then taken into conside-
ration ; and the following amendment, moved by Mr.
Gladstone, was adopted by a majority of 20 to 16 :—" That
in case of the refusal of any ves=el to move, (for no other
cause than the repairing or cleansing of the docks,) which
shall be in the course of receiving or discharging cargo,
the expense of such removal shall be borne by the trus-
tees, but that no vessel in such case shall claim more than
40s against the trustees."
The bill was then approved, subject to this amendment ;
the Coroner's accounts were referred to the Financial
Committee for payment; and the Council adjourned at
twenty minutes after four o'clock, to Wednesday next.
