• PLACES OF :WORSHIP.

r.

Died DMO UTH observed upon the great and
increasing evil which arose from the want of a sallielini.
cumber of places of worship of the Established Church, and
the want 6t means of accommodation for commenicants ttf
that Church in populoiss parisSes, in comeriveoce of whirls
many persons of the establishment were induced to attend
Dissenting Meeting. Houses, rather than not attend any place
of Worship. The increase of Meeting Rows beyond that
of places of worship of the Established Church, might be
attributed to many causes. The former were erected for a
less sum, and in addition. didictitties frequently occurred re.
oftcting the latter, relative to the right of presentation. A
facility olio arose in the former case, from the Dimes**
lain; 54 ers having other occupations, and therefore beimtaa.
tubed with less for their services at the Meeting Houses dont
could support a Clergyman of the Established Church. It
was, therefore, a subject deserving of serious consideration,
and in order that the /louse might have information before
them relative to it in the nest Session, his Lordship moved
an Address to his Majesty, praying, that the Archbishops
and Bishops might be directed to prepare in their respective
dioceses, to be laid before the House, a statement of the
number of places of worship of the Established Church in
parishes having a population of 10i10 and upwards, with the
number of personi such places of worship are capable of
containing; and also the number of Dissenting Meeting
Mouses is such parishes. _

Lord HOLLAND had no objection to the motion, but
remarked upon the statement of his Noble Friend relative
to the 'spent cheapness of Dissenting Ministers, observing
that the luxury of Use Established Church had been found
too dear for the inhabitant% of Jamaica, who would not pay
the amount considered netiewary for its support is ihat
island, with the vie* sr "riving religions itatruction to the
negroes.
Lord Viscount 810)1011TH observed; that there could
nit be considered :Inv peat luxury its the Established
Church.whenfit appeared that out of 10,000 livings, upset&
of 1000 were under 1501. per annum.
The motion was agreed tu.
APPEALS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, with the view that the
subject should be taken into consideration in the next Ses-
sion, moved that the House do in the next 'St-ion lake into
consideration the state of the 3. a peals and Writs'of Error
before the House, and the best twang to he adopted to put
them in a more effectual course of decision : which, after a
few words front Lord Lauderdale, was agreed to.
EAST-INDIA COMPANY.
The Earl of LI YER Pt/OL moved the third reading of
the Lust India Company's Loan Bill, observing. that the
special grounds 01. which this application was now trade to
Parliament, were, that a considerable debt-hod beets' incurred
in consequence of the wars in India, in which this
was maerially interested, and in consequence of lb.
tors baying an option of drawing Bills on the Corm lie I
Hoffiontl, Bibs had been drawn to the amount of upwaedsof I
4,000,0001. and in addition to this, the loss sustained by the
Company from the Into calamities which had happened to
their shipping, amounted to nearly a million. , I
The k.arl of LAUDERDALE entered into a detailed
statement, fur the purpose of sheaving the uoprnspernus state 1
of the atfaits of the Company, and the little ernspert there w*
of this money heing.rvaid. The Act of 1,93 required. that
the Debt of the Company in India should be reduced to
-2.000,0001. ; the Bond Debt in England to 500,0001. ; that
61)0,0001. per annum should be paid to the ;titbits.- and that a
situ should accumulate to make up the amount of 12,000,0001.
Ws a security for the holders Of the Capital Stock. listead
of this, the Debt iii India had aertmudated to 31.000.9001.
,the Bond Deb; in England to 4,000,0001. the 500,0001. unpaid
'lii the public, now amounted to 7,000,0001. and these sums
added to the 1t,000,0001. made a difference of 53,000,0001.
His Lordship also contended, that it appeared from the be-
lance paper of Stock per computation laid before Parliament.
• that the Company wail now 16,000,0001: worse than tithing.
The Noble Lord adverted to the late leansactiote in Madras,
observing that 00 Government ever deserved more reprobntioa
than the Madras Government, for its conduct in those trani—
actions. a condaet Which, ionise instance; was wholly unac-
countable, it haw* stopeaded and "sent borne Coltrd Boles
for signing military orders by order of his superior °nicer, and
appointed to the samesituatitel Colonel Sutherland Mac-
ifowall, who had signed doe half of the very same orders.
With respect to the forged hoods of the Nabob of Arcot, the

!sensible.

fairs. The tendert Of the Madras' Govenunent in' the tate
transactions was. he contended, deserving of the highest
praise. 'rile ciresinstawe respecting Colonel Sutherland
Macdnoall, be bud not beard for the first time. With re-
spect to the forged Maids, his Lordship observed, that the

ing of blame.

dm.dule, and observed, that the balance sheet of Ste ck per
computati at, 'was varying every day, and did not chew the

by other docainems to have arisen, -to saceetuting yam me to
