HICK 9 that it be referred-to the ComnmitteeOf A.Vi- gation. to watch the pr'ogress of the bill through Parliament, and to re3orth the Nnsamefr tme to time. Ir.S. Dixo aId he remembered whefr the West India Dom-S Rere fiat brought under consideratinCle, and ciare was tien taken that where the property of individusho was afve,ted compen a- tion should he made; hut in this case it seemea to be oltiether los sight-of. , rl. SMITHL said he would trouble the Court with a few w9rdS, t show tat the proposed, docks and warehouses were mnot e- cessary. . To facilitate and promote .?he commnerce of ljojden, we already hid the East and Wrest India Docks, the [kondo DockCe, the East Country Docks, and the Surrey Cana]. All thLese, establisi-. mentsmight at one period havebeen becessary,when the whole trade- .of the warld, at the conclusion of the war, centred. In this island ; but when commerce was restoreg- to its former equilirium, as it Was at present, he would undertake to prove that there was room enough. in the docks already established for all thie trade Cohuchrpight come into the port of L-ondon, inclutding, :in hiis view, ot. 'thie ekititing -establishmentS, the - East *lndia flocks. anxd the suifferanice wharfs. The establishmient of these 'dockm would materially injure 'the city lands,' and be a greaL additional injiury to'the up.tirwn warehouselceepers. who had already to sustain a coimpetition with all the inicorporated bodies he liad alluded to. There.was, as. hie liad been. informed,very little investigation previous to seItting this busitness on' fot, althoiigh it would matterially aflect from 800 to 1,000 hiouses ; and it was only'within the last, fortnight that the ground haed even been meaysured, so that it was scarcely possble the vcry respectable gentlemena w ho had puit their names dtown in sup- port of the mneasure could have a correct notion of the expense to .be incurred. These gentlemen, had stated in their petition to Par- liament, as a reason for not observing, the standing orders relative to notice, that if the measure were deferred, they might be compelledI to abandoni the undertakingz altogether, and he (Mr. SmAith) would say,.that it would belmore 'Atting' that they shouldl abandon it,. than that a measure of such importance, affecting such a a'mber of peo- Ple, should be so hurried forward. Mfr. Dixo_x thought the Navigation Committee should he in- structed, not only to watch the biUll but to pxepare a petitionl against it, if necessary. After a few'words froma Mr. Atldennan VEN,&BLF5, The quiestion was put and carried, that it should be referred to the Navigation. Comimittee. M1r.. HusncoEiar presented a report from the Tithe Coin- mittee.respecting the propriety of a'ffording the assistance of the Recorder Common Sergeant, Town Clerk, and Cit Solicitor, to Mr. F.
