The proceedings of the House of Lords last night were unimportant. Her Majesty's answer to the address was presented by Lord Fortescue, read, and ordered to be printed. The important business of the session, as regards this branch of the legislature, will commence on Monday, when the Marquis of Lans downe will bring the state of Ireland before the home, and announce the measures of relief which it is the intention of ministers to propose. Earl Grey has promised to furnish an offi cial statement, together with certain documents, in explanation of what has been done, and what it is proposed by government to do, with respect to the transportation of convicts ; and, should further information be then required, he will be prepared to answer such questions as may be put to him. In the House of Commons, previous to the discus sionof more important matters,Lord Palmerston stated, in reply to Mr. Roebuck, that he knew of no agent in this country authorised by the Mexican government to issue letters of marque or grant acts of naturalisa tion. His lordship added, that when the govern ment of the United States issued a notice, to the effect that they would treat as pirates any foreigners found on board Mexican privateers, he considered it his duty to instruct the British representative at Wash ington to express to the American cabinet the ex pectation of her Majesty's government that this threat would not be carried into execution upon any ' British subject. In the last war, England employed ' foreigners an board her ships, and so did the United • States in the short war with England.—The house having gone into committee, Lord John Russell pro ceeded to show the present stock of corn in the coun try, and to consider what were the prospects of a future supply. The price of wheat in October and No vember last did not indicate the apprehension of any considerable deficiency, but the rise which had since I tan place manifested that fears of a scarcity were entertained. The deficiency of the last harvest was felt in France, Germany, and many parts of Western Europe, so that, in fact, there were bat two quarters from whence supplies could come—Odessa and the United States; and, such being the case, every impedi ment ought at once to be removed, and nothing should remain which was at all likely to restrict the impor tation of foreign grain. The 4e. duty had not, it was rue, prevented a large importation of foreign wheat, nit as we had still to compete with other countries or food, it might hereafter make a considerable dif ference in the amount of our supplies. He therefore 1 • Proposed that a ll d u ti es on foreign corn should be sae- Feuded till the let of September next, leaving it to parliament hereafter to consider whether it would continue that suspension or not. His lordship then adverted to the Navigation-laws, which were also an impediment to importation, by raising the scale of freights, in some instances, from Is. to 3s. 3d.. and concluded by moving, that thqi be suspended till the lst of Nov. next.—Mr.O.Ba, in seconding the mo tions, g tted that these two measures had not been psoposeed sooner. The agricultural interest were willing last year to suspend the corn duties, in order to meet the prevailing famine ; and the measures of Sir R. Peel would not have been objected to, had they been intended as temporary remedies. Sir W. Barron sad Mr. Ewart were of opinion that these measures should have been introduced much earlier. Mr. Oonlburn approved of the government propositions, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer supported, in a speech supplying many important details. Mr. Hume, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Roebuck were in favour of the immediate and entire abolition of the Navigation-laws, which Mr. T. Baring thought would meet with con siderable opposition. Lord G. Bentinck would support a temporary suspension of the Navigation-laws ; but, if the motion was intended as a prelude to their utter destruction he would oppose it. lie did not think the suspension of the 4s. duty would benefit the consumer. It would depreciate the price of oats and barley, and increase the value of bonded wheat ; and, while it deprived the revenue of 800,000/., it would put that amount into the pockets of fore stallers and regraters, towards whom he was inclined to adopt very summary pmeeedings.— Mr. Roebuck remarked with considerable severity upon the speech of Lord George Bentinck ; and Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Escott having supported the motions, they were agreed to, after a brief reply from Lord J. Russell. COMMERCIAL e f MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY LNTELLIGENCE. Half-past Two.—The colour of the intelligence hop rare is such as elm Tlit. bi 11 4/9 1 14.111.1.9.8= 1 . 4 the Stock speculators, who an operating so ex very fir the fall. The decree issued by the French govern ment, prohibiting the exportation of potatoes, bran, peas, and other dried vegetables, has gently tended to strengthen the public suspicion that the supply of provisions is so very much below what must be the wants of the people of that country as to threaten au absolute famine. It is seen, too, that the government journals, especially the Journal des Debats, calculate upon obtaining large supplies of grain from this country, if not of potatoes, the result of which may very materiilly act upon stocks here, already deficient, and in crease the pressure of prices. In such discouraging tircumstances the market pre sented at the opening a very gloomy appearance. The tint quotations mlled for Consols were 91 to 1, for money, and 911 to 1 for time, which were equal to i fall upon the closing prices of yesterday; subsequently they declined to 91, and were quoted as low is 90/ ; they then rallied about / per Dent., hut ire now 91 to 1 for money, an 1 911 to 1 for account, exactly as they opened. Exchequer Bills, 3s. to as prem. In the Foreign market there is a confusion of prices, with scarcely any dealings. The jobbers, when disposed to make a price, will not do so without stating a broad margin of one or two per cent, betwixt buying ant selling. Portuguese are now called 31 to 3, which to lone ranged between 38 and 40. Spanish Five:, 231 to 41 ; the Threes, 331 to 41 ; Mexican. 21: to 21.

Kane. MEXICAN LETTERS OF MARQUE.—Mr. ROE BUCK. begged to put two questions, of which be had given notice, to the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It ISM said that there was an agent from the Mexican govern meet in this country, who had established an office, from which he was ready to issue, to any person willing to demand them, haters of marque against the United States, and also ' letters of naturalisation, to protect those who were not native born Mexicans in acting under those letters of marque. His first question wan, whether or not any notice had been taken of this office, and the presence of inch an agent in the neutral territory of a friendly nation, by the minister from the United ' States; and if so, what answer bad been given by our govern- ' meat as to the pert they had taken ? The next question ' related to a more complicated matter. If persons of other ' countries were found hav:ng those acts of naturalisation, and fighting under those letters of marque, it was said to be the determination of the American government to hang such persons, notwithstanding those letters of naturalisation. This was a gross violation of the principles of international law. He therefore wished to know from the noble lord, if any steps bad been taken to prevent such! a disaster; and what cor- ' respondence, if any, had taken place on the subject ? Viscount PALMERSTON said, that with regard to the Snit question, her Majesty's government had no knowledge of thy fact th it there was now any agent in London autho rised, on the part of the Mexican jeovernment, to issue letters of marque and naturalisation. 'I he only fact bearing upon the subject was an advertisement which had been tendered to the Times, and refused insertion, from which it appeared that a Mr. Barge (or Barge) wished to adopt an ingenious way of advertising his shop or warehouse, and announced that at his shop might be seen • copy of the decree of the Mexican government, authorising these letters of marque. But, in the letter which he had afterwards written to the Times, this person stated that he was not authorised to issue these letters, nor did he know that any other person was Probably, ell that he had wanted was to attract customers. The only communication that had taken place between her Majesty's government and that of the United States. was a verbal one between the American minister and himself. The American minister had heard something of this sort, and he expressed a hope that the British government would not pi rmit any proceeding to take place which was incon eistent with the position of neutrality assumed by this own try in the dispute between Mexico and:America. He (Lord ' Palmerston) had assured the American =inkier. that though he was uninformed as to the cireaaramar iYadatt to, the position of this country was one of MAI impartiality and neutrality, and that the sroveraimit weal& ; sanction nothing which was inconsistent with ruck a politiaa. He had since referred the question to the law advisees et tits government, in order to know, supposing sack ham of marque were iesued here, what step. the British geosemest would be authorised in taking to prevent any hostile prepa ration, in this couht•ry with • view to aggressions upon the ' United States. With respect to the other question, it was quite true that, some time ago, notice was issued by the go- ' vernment of the United States that they would treat as pirates ' any fore*ners found in the Mexican service ; and he had considered it his duty to instruct Mr. Pakenham to express to the American government his expectation that the United States would not apply to British subjects the execution of this threat. For not only was there the objection which the hon. and learned gentleman had mentioned, but the subjects of ono country might, by a short process, become naturalised Ica another. It would be remembered that, during the last war, there were sailors in our navy of various nations— Danes, Swedes, and others; and they were always considered entitled to be tr.-sated in the same way sa other prisoners of war when taken. The United States themselves, in Their abort war against us, had employed British subjects in their navy; and yet no threat of execution had been held out against them. THE CHANNEL ISLANDS COMMISSION.—Dr. BO WRING wished to ask the right hon. the Secretary for the Home Department, whether the commissioners ap pointed to inquire into the state of the Channel Islands bad made any report, and whether government was disposed to lay it on the table of the house ? Sir G. GREY said the commissioners had concluded their investigation ; but as they would require Lome time to digest their materials, and arrange their report, that report had not yet been received, but he believed it was in course of pre paration. S MEASURES.—Mr. HINE asked the I ord Advocate what measures were ie.ended to be brought in relative to the law of Scotland, in consequence of the recom mendations of previous cou.missions ? He had put this question towards the clam of last session, when the right )2. Dee. 12 I Dee. 11a2.16., Jan. L Jan. 9. i Jan. la. t o .

The LORD ADVOCATE said the subj. et had received his best attention ; and he hoped to be able, at an early period, to lay before the house various measures for carrying into efro et the most important r. lommendations of the rota. missinners, particulorly with regard to the law of real pro petty and the 4..1 security. CORN LAWS AND NAVIGATION LAWS. The order of the day being read fur the house to go into committee on the corn-laws, Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house should go into committee. Mr. Gamier having taken the chair, Lord J. RUSSELL said: So favourable an inclination was shown by the how, on the first day of the session, tn adopt the unities' of which I gave notice, that I shall not trouble the house with many details which, otherwise, I should think it umeuery to lay before teem. I will, how ever, state, as well so 1 am able, what ha. been hitherto, and what is now, the prospect of ti.e supply of this country ; and the reasons why I peewee, at this time, to advice the house to 'lament], fur a time, the duties on foreign corn. I 'hall, in the same eau -anent, give my n.mons with respect to the navireation laws, the whole subject being el facie connected bgether : and immediately after you have quitted sive chair, air, I shall propese that the home do go into committee on that subject. I should state, that upon Ott termination of the harvest, the pro-peels and the statemeres Generally were, that the harvest of wheat would he somewhat below an ave rage, but that it was of a very fine and sup. rem quality ; that barley and cots were in many part. deficient in produce ; el though in some district* there was en abundant crop of oats. But the mimics failure that was feared was the failure of the potato crop.- a fai.ure which wee considerable in England, which was far more considerable in some parts of Scot land, and which in Iceland has been stated at threeetturths the amount of tee whole crop . ; the amount cannot be ae eurately ascertained, hut I should have no doubt in saying that it wan eonsiderably more than one -half the whole pro duce. of course this great failure of the potato crop must have had • material influence upon prices; it was impooaible not to expect that the prime of corn, which would be re quired for the consumption of Ireland, would he materially effected by the deficiency of potatoes which had taken place. On the otter hand there was, in the course of last year, • very large importation of fureem corn, and acorn and flour Run Brittell efilentie, amounting, altogether, according to a paper which has been laid before the house, to the very large amount of 4,800,040 quarter.. This very large supply did not, for some time, enter into consumption. The harvest wee a remarkably early one ; and it was calculated that there was six wicks supply still in store, when the last harvest was brought forward for consumption; this circum stance, and the existence of the four shillings duty, pre vented meth fors ign corn from earning into consumption at that time. It wa• for this remote I conceive, that for some time shire was a very oweidernble decline of prices; and there was not g‘ nerally the apprehension which has been Mum entertained, that there would be such a deficiency as very greatly to raise prices. The prim in October and November did riot show any very considerable apprehen sion as to the wheat crop. In the twat week of Oct., the price was 545. ; in the second week, 54e. 10.1.; in the third week, 595.104. • in the fourth week, 60e. 10d. ; in the fifth, 61s. 9d. In the tit week of November, the price was 620. 3d. ' • in the second, 61s. 3.1.; in the thine 595. Bd.; in the fourth, 59e.; the, showing rather a decline of prices from the mid dle of October to the end of November. But from that time there has been a considerable rise in prices; very con siderable indeed when we consider what were the prices at the time of the harvest. In the first week of August, the price of wheat wan 475. ; in the first week of September it was 4%. ; but it had rem, in the first week of the present month, to Gls. 4.1. ; in the second week to tfis. 10d. ; and the week's avenge ending the 16th of the present month was 70s. 3d. • • being a rise of 21s. since the first week in Sep tember. That ri•e in the price of wheat showy I conceive, a very considerable apprehension as to the deficiency of the NW- y. The rise in the price of barley has been still more remarkable. In the first week of January, 1842, the price Gourley was 295. 7.1.; in the fine week of January, 1.43, it was 266. 5d.; in the filet week of January, 1844, it was 32u, 7d.; in the first week ofJauttary, 1845, 34..2d.; in the first week of January, 1846, 31s. 11d. ; in the first week of the Fount month, 445. 3d. ,• in the second week, 46e. sd. ; and in the third, :N.. And this 50s. does not at all repneent the prices that have been given for malting barley, those prices having been 665. 675. and GSs., and I am told up to 70e, still higher pem having been paid for the beet quali ties. Now this rise of price is very remarkable, as compared with the prices of other years; and I have not compared it so:ely with yeah of great plenty, which hap pened a few years before, but during those years when scarcity was 64t to a considerable degree. I have said that this rise of price has been, to a great degree, unexpected by those who are engaged in the trade. I should say, also, with regard to the neiehbourine kingdom of France, where there is at present very cooluderable apprehension, and a very great rim of price, that there did not appear to be, in November, snorting to the beet are ewe government could ane, the fear that such would be the cam. I hold in my trandation of a circular from the minister of agricul ture and commerce, dated the 16th of November. It does state • deficience ; he sap-" In the first six divisions, which comnriae- 57 departments, the amount of produce of wheat, maize, and barley is generally below the average cf ordinary years ;" and in another passage, he says :-" But, as last yeer, the traits-producing districts are three which have suffered the least• particularly the two divisions from which Porn is principally supplied, where the harvest may be considered as productive m in good ordinary years." lie then makes a statement with regard to the failure of the pota:oes, observing that there were but fifteen departments where this crop had not partially failed; but, he says-•' The total low does wit sppesr to be more than one-fourth or one third of the produce of ordinary imam" Thus, it appears that there was in France, as in the. ei untry, a belief that the harvest sees generally deficient, but not such a material rise of price, until lately, as to lead to the belief that the deficiency would be very en ricues. I have mentioned that in meb of Ireland and Strident!, there was an almost total frame of the potato-crop, which we all act much deplore. I ant speaking new aa to the effect which that failure must bare with revert to the general supply of food. There are various etatemente as to the total amount of potatoes lost, but la the money value there is a general aaerage statement that the amount boat in 12,000,0001. sterling. Front 4,000,000qr5. to 5,000,000 qrs. of corn, er food of some kind, would be re quired as an equivalent to supply that deficiency. We have had a supply during the past ye or amounting to 4,000,800 cps of corn, but with regard to the supplies that we may obtain during the temainder of the year before next harvest, it is to be eousiderc d by the house that there are but very few party Melte world from whence that supply can he obtained. A delleiency in the harvest has been Rhin France, Germany, ad a very great part of the west of Europe. Measures have been taken in many countries to supply that elf licieney by admitting free importation. A law was lately passed in Franze by which the importation of wheat was allowed at the duty of 7d. per quarter, and otht r grain in proportion, and admit ins ships of all foreign Cations to enter their ports with grain. In the countries on the Rhino similar lows were passed, and in many of them laws were enacted prohibiting the exportation of corn and sugar. The stork in these places in so low, that they would net furnish a supply to this country, and the last information from the west of Europe was, that the holders of grain were retaining it in the expectation ef high prices. There are quarters from which considerable supplies are expected. One is Odessa, from which place a very considerable quantity was lately imported into France, where great encouragement was given. The quantity amounted to very nearly 700,000 quarters. It is expected tnat in next spring fair supplies of corn will be had trim Odessa, which may be made as &liable fur the supply of this and other countries. There has been, likewise. a very abundant harvest in America of all sorts of grain. The harvest of wheat there has been abundant. and t • harvest of Indian corn the largest perhaps that ever was down. It seems that we have nut had, hitherto, any eery gpraat part it that supply rent to this country. There are, however, ships in America, and other ships bane been sent there from Liverpool, for the purpose of bringing over wheat and Indian corn and ether necessary grain. It appears tn sue. that such being the state of the supp' e in this country, such being the deficiency that has been, we ought to remove every impediment which Iles in the way of supplying the country se eb foreign cora. It appears at first that the duty of 4s. per quarter as not considerable, and that the large importation last year shows that it did not prevent a considerable supply ; but there an circum stances and cues in which even that duty may, to a certain extent, limit the supply which may be brought to this coun try. For instance, there was for some time • very nice balance between the prices in this country and France. For • shut time English wheat was sent Rem eastern counties in this country to France. That exportation lasted for a very short time, of er which the balance became the other way, and then they kept the corn in this country. The prices rose then in France, a'ter which the prices of corn in bond in this country mu to within one shilling of the price paid under the 4e. duty. It is evident, with prices so nicely balanced, that those who look for profit which they may obtain by the sale of a cargo of wheat, may be Mowed by the 46. duty. It is said that when the price was 625. in London it was 60s. is Sure It was then worth the importers' while to bring it to the latter place in consequent-a of the 4s. duty. Suppos ing there had not been a want in France; in ordinary cir cumstance/I, supposing there existed such a calamity, a U. duty would hardly prevent any quantity being imported into this country. Bat when there I. a competition for the fiend to be had from America, a restriction to that amount may make a considerable difference in the quantity brought into this country. It is hardly in our power to 'peculate what that quanely may be, and some mar say that it is se small a quantity that it to not worth our while to suspend the 46. duty ; hut I say, that under circumstances of this kind it is enough to say that it is • restriction that would prevent • quantity of grain being brought here which other wise would come here, ar,d, being a restriction, it ought to be taken off. I shall, therefore, propose, that all duties on foreign corn shall be suspended by law to the Ist of September of the present year. That period I consider sufficiently long to enable us to bring in the corn that may be had from other countries. I shall leave at to parlia ment afterwards, at any other period of the semen, to decide whether they shall continue it or alto* the present law to take its place. From the Crposition shown by the house the other night I sho u ld au expect any opposition to this proposal. ':out I do not think that any party who, according to their principles, advocate proteMeon.ouaht to put forward a ny such opposition.
