Sir WILLIAM CURTiS brought up the Re-
port of the Committee appointed to consider of
the expediency of carrying into effort the prop°,
'pion, for the erection of a New SteckMarket.—
He stated, that the CoMmittee, after a due cond.,'
deration, had come to a Resolution tbat the pm. i
amble of the Bill had not been proved. It be.
came his duty, however, as Chairman of that
'Committee, to state the peculiar circumstanced
ifer which the Re/solution had been formed. When
Ihe first put the question, the suited of the ayes
god noes was so equal, that he' could not justly
decide which Lad the superiority ; but upon put,
ting the question nails preparatory to a division,
au lion Member entered the Committee Room,
upon which he (Sir W. Cnrds) asked him if he I
knew the nature of aim Ai cation ? .The= Hun.
Member replied in the negative,
':when he (Sir W.
Curtis) read the preamble of the Bill. A division
thou took place, and oirsonsparing the numbers,*
it appeared that there were 21 iu favour of the
Bill, and 22 against it, the Hon. Member to
whom ho alluded) creating the majority. He was
desirous, therefore, of being informed by the"
Speaker, whether the Tote of that Gentleman) so'
coming in, was a legal and proper vote.
The SPEAK ER,said it was oecemary that some.
linnuorabie Metaber who was present at the Corn.

whose vote had been taken, had emistatitly attend:l
ed the Committee, had beeu present several times
that morning, and was perfectly acquainted with
the nature el' the' subject ruder consideration, but
did not clearly understand the precise point upon
wl . the trustion, bad been put, instil after the
.rmatib.ad explained.
Thu SPEAK ER declared, that until the ques-
tion Was fluidly put, it was competent for any
Member to vet* ; but, if his• name was ailed to a
division at tAlfiCis he was not present, then his vote
would be, had. In the present instance, according
to the Lion. Baronet's own statement, the Hue.
Member who had given his vote entered into the
room previous to the question being read for the
last time, and consequently his vote was perfectly
legal, , and consistent with the usual fortes in puch
eases.
The Bill for the present, therefore, Is thrown
(1111.

not yet filially adjusted ; and he thought it a bad
precedent to grant so large a sum of the public
motley upon stipulations that might never take
place, He thought, therefore, the House would
'be deserting its duty in voting away so large-a sum
of the public money, without hating a very strong
case made out to prove an urgent necessity fur it,
or that some serious ittconvenieuce might arise from
a delay of the grant until the stipulations were re.
tifieal.- lie wished to know, whether these stipu-
lations involved any thing of a commercial nature.
It was well lsowit, that hi Sicily there was a very
great demand and- preference fur the manifictures
of this country ; and yet it was equally notorious

not on the footing of the most favoured nations.
He understood also, that there was a Commercial

pas nut sure whether he bed correctly stated the
fact. He understood also, that the Sicilians coal.
plained that this cuuutry, by the' Invasion of their
island, had drawn on them the hostility of France.
A vast expence was incurred to . this country in
the necessity of detaching, so large a portion of ,
our disposable force as 101e000 men, to keep up ad

Majesty's Ministers were fully apprised in the disa
patches received, froth the British Officers in the
Island. It was well Lwow''' the people of that
country were anxious for a reforta in their Go..
vernnient, which they would wish to effect through
the means of England, rather than of any other .
nation ; i-ut even through. Buiraparte rather than
not at all. Experience had proved, that the
Freed', with all the insidious designs and rapaci.

every country where they obtained a footing, had
still the art of persuading the population of those
countries, that their object was the poptilar good,

lie thought therefore it was the duty as welt as the
sound policy of -his Majesty's liiiiisters to use
their infinence with that Government, which they • .

able Gentleman, that, unhappily -some discon.
tents did prevail amongst a considerable portion of
the population of Sicily, as iiievcry other coml.
try of Europe where French principles - had ob.
tattled.. If in this country. there were men to be
found mad enough to declare that even ;our free
and happy form of 'Government was a system of
oppression,- and that we had nothing left worth
fighting fur, was it matter of wonder that the par.
• ',elation of Sicily,
.as well as other countries less
free and happy, ;should be disposed to discontent?
But he begged-to ask, would it become this couu.
try to intermeddle with tlieforms of Government
in a country with whose Prince we were in al.
Hance, and acting as an auxiliary ? .It was the ob-
ject of his Majesty's Government to maintain the
independence of Sicily against Bonaparte ; but
to intermeddle with the form of Government is
brat island seotild be, iii his conception, to violate
the principle; of good faith with that Prince with
whom we were in alliance. With respect to the
additional sum £lOO,OOO now voted, he begged
to remind the lion. Member that a similar suns • '

thuugh it was not advanced. The grant was
thought necessary .- with a , view to-render the so&
