THE STATRSMAN.

Thanks to Sit T. Hislop, did not Array give any
opinion as to the execution of the Kinkier of Talneir,
respecting which they had not sufficient information
to 'sable them to form s judgment. This was use-
smeary, in order to vindicate the character of our
Government end the nation to the whole world.
Mr. HOWORTH coneerred in the Vote of Thanks
to the Marquis of Hastings and the Army, bet he
hoped the Howse would investigate the cause of the
invasion and occupation of so much territory, and
the subjugation of so great a number of persons.
• Sir R. WILSON said. he would net enter into
the policy or impolicy of that belligerent or defen-
sive system, as it was called, which hod ratenderl oar
empire from the sea coast to the Indus ; bat it re.
quired no second Daniel to see what would be the
conseqeenca of it is time. He rose to agree nith
this Vote of Thanks, as oo army ever deserved such
a vote more. At the same time he approved of the
Res*Wino of the Nebie Lord, as it preserved the
dignity of that Mese, sod did not think that it pre-
judged the am in the opinion of the army.
Sr J. MACINTOSH did not mean to controvert
any part of be Right Hon. Gentleman's speech, but
would reserve to himself the power of collies for in.
formation on thou, points which he might think un-
satisfactorily euplaised. He had listened with On-
set, to the praises bestowed on the Governor-Gene-
ral, Sir J. Malcolm, and Mr. Elphiostone. As to
the aspleit of Captain Stanton, he questioned whe-
ther that glorious stand was ever equalled in the an-
nals of modern war. Ho hoped, and believed. that
Sir T. Ilislop would be able in jevtify and explain the
act of petting to death the Killed*, of Tahiti, ; at
the same lime, he most admire the Resolution moved
by his Noble Friend.
Sir W. BURROUGHS thought, the policy of the I
war was as clear and as jemifiable, as the valour and
conduct displayed in the field were conspicsoes.—.l
We held the immense empire of 70 millions of mom
by armies raised among themselves; unlike the Rs.
meaty, who held Asia by legions levied in Gaul ; and
Britain, by others raited in Pannonia.
The Vote of Thevlis was tiles carried, new. cox.

Oa the motion of Lord Morpeth being put,
Mr. FORBFS said, that a document had been pet
into his hands by some of Mr T. Hisinp's friends, but
so far from being satisfactory to his etied—(Cries of
Order.)

Mr. 'FAZAK ERIN rose to order. 110 was sore
the lion. Gant lemon was the last that wwald wish to
prejudge or condemn a person is his absence, and
without the necessary information.
Mr. FORBES said, that was not his wish ; het
he could not agree to the You of Thanks to that
Officer.

Lard Nemeth's It...elation was theacarriesi.

Mr. WROTI*EiLF:Y moved for e Committee to
enquire into the propriety of removing Ike Commie.
sins of Bankrupt from Geildhall. A Committee
last year. proposed the new building should he as
neer to Guildhall se possible; but he thought the
Merchants would not be inconvenienced by its be.
ing removed at some distance from Guildhall. His
object was, to get a Select Committee to enquire to
what piece the Commissions should be remand, per-
haps to Ferniest's Inn.
Mr. J. SMITH opposed the motion. The re-
moval of Bankrupt Meetings to Furnival's Inn, had
bens long a favourite point with the lion. Gentle.
man. Though Guildhall was a very improper place
for them, yet a suitable owe might be erected oa the
site of Blackwell Hall, and he understood the Cor-
poration of London was willing to give every anew•
modetion. He moved the prestos, qnstion.
Alderman WOOD s.id, Furnival's Inn had been
rebuilt on ■ speculation that then Meeting. would
be removed there, but he hoped the House would vet
agree to it.
Mr. Alderman WA IT (DIAN said, to remain the
Meetings to Fermin'', lon would he most locative.
Meta. It appeared, however strange, that n Cosa.
mlssioneis were necessary, when one sat io the Insol-
ent Debtors' Court. Ile thought us the places fell
vacant, they ought to be reduced to sit or eight. He
principally objected that a proper nomination of the
bankrupt could not be got without hardening the
estate with a private hearing. There was a spot of
ground near Guildhall, which the Corporation was
ready to give up for a fair remuneration.
Mr. COUILTENAY said, this was not • motion
for a revision of the Bankrupt Laws, bet for a Com-
mittee to find out a convenient spot for holding Bank-
rept Meetings. Now that such a spot was found in
Holborn, other spots, never mentioned before, were
offered for this porpose. It was said the place in
Holborn would be inconvenient for the Merchants of
London ; bet that was a matter effecting the Public,
and, with all deference, these Merchants were bet a
small pert of the whole Public. Wherever it might
be removed, enquiry was necessary.
Mr. WILSON, as a commercial man, could not
help saying, then could be no doubt whether a spot
near Gandhian or Firmivers Inn was the most con.
venient.

Mr. ELLICE wished the original motion to be
withdrawn, en an understanding that he should hring
it forward, if the City of London would nut grant
Was k w,ll-hall.

Mr. MARRIAT objected to the inconvenience of
multiplying Committees.

Mr. U. HARVEY said, the greatest ineonveni.
epee from the constraction of the Commission,
which cupid lint Ise remedied until the Commissioners
were rendered independent of every other branch of
their profession.

Mr. WHOITESLEI" replied; and the Howse
divided—

Fur thir sr dine 6?—Fur the previninq•euiwn V.

The Committee well then 'pe-tinted.

Th. further consideration of the Poor Leers Bill
wee postponed seta Monday.

Persons committed for Debt and discharged since

Alderman WAITIIMAN then moved for en Ac.

since the tlit of December, 1811. Ile moved for
this document. to tee whether the Revenge bed sof-
tened by Mock Aectioss, at which every species of
