The Earl of LIMERICK presented a Petition from several Inhabitants of Belfast, praying the assistance of the Legislature to enable them to Emigrate to Canada.

The Earl of ROSEIIERRY presented a similar Petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Canterbury.

The Earl of HARROWBY presented similar Petitions from the Town of Stafford, and from Alton, in the County of Stafford.

The Doke of WELLINGTON said, that having given notice of his intention to lay before the House this day a statement of the plan devised by his MA. jesty's Government for the future regulation of the Corn Trade, he deeply regretted that any necessity should have, arisen to postpone a disclosure of so much im portance. Bat as the statement could not be laid before the other House of Parliament, in consequence of the indisposition of the Right lion. Gentleman whose duty it was to bring it for ward, and as it was obviously ex pedient that it should be made simultaneously to both Houses of Parliament, he would beg leave to postpone his statement until Monday. SAWS LAWS. Bail DARNLEY hoped that, In consequence of the intimation just given, ►is Noble Friend, who had unmixed his intention to propose certain additional clauses to the Sale of Game Bill, on Monday. would consent to postpone his motions. Lord WHARNCL/FFE replied, that be should merely submit Ma propositions, in doing which he should occupy very tittle of their Lordships' time. The Marquis of SALISBURY was willing to consult the con venience of the House, and be thought the discussion likely to arise upon the propositions of the Noble Baron might probably occupy a considerable patios of time. Lord GODERICH thought the course suggested by the Noble Baron the most coovesisst. The Bill might be committed pre farm, the propositions of the Noble Baron received, and then a future day be appointed fee a recommitment of the Bill, when the discussion might conveniently take place. The House would then possess full knowledge, both of the Bill of the Noble Marquis, and of the propositions of his Noble Friend. The Marquis of SALISBURY said, that in the measure be bad brought fotward, be had in view the single object of legalising the sale of game, as a means of diminishing the crime of poaching. To the principle of this measure the House bad already expressed its assent. and be must repeat his unwillingness to clog it with any addidons which might endanger its success. Lord It EDESDA LE objected to the course proposed, as calcu lated to diminish the opportunities of debate. This was a bad precedent. He considered the measure of the Noble Matteis, and the propositioos of the Noble Baron as distinct, and he entertained some apprehension that the latter might lead to a considerable increase of litigation. Lord TEYN HA M recommended a separate Bill. The course proposed involved the danger of losing the original Bill by a side wind. Lord WHARN C LI FFE was entirety in their Loadships' hands as to the course he should pursue, but be must say, that the clauses he intended to propose were not only connected with the Bill, but necessary to give it effect. If it were thought convenient he would enter into the explanation of his propositions now. Here the con 'mass dropped. STATZ OP IRRLAND. Earl DARNLEY bad given notice of his intention to propose a measure to ameliorate the condition of Le land. He bad been disappointed to 6od that no pro. poaition of this nature was likely to emanate from his Majesty's Government. He bad even heard that some. thing was in contemplation, not of a conciliatory. but of a penal description. He hoped this information was incorrect. The Noble Marquis now at the head of the Irish Government was actuated, he believed, by a sincere desire to promote the tranquillity and welfare of the country. The inanifertation of this feeling was likely to do more good than any penal enactments. He had entertained a hope that the recommendations of the Emigration Committee would base tended to improve the state of the Irish population, it they had been car ried into of ct ; but it nothing was proposed by Go vernment, he should feel it his imperative duty t•. call the attentirn 01 the House to the subject. He therefore gave notice that on Friday, the 25th of April, he should move the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the State of the population of Ireland, with a view to suggest any practicable means of im proving it. The bail of LIMERICK said, that the Noble Earl had had the kindness to communicate with him upon the subject, and he bad confessed his apprehension that no measure likely to produce important advantages would result from the appointment of such a Commit. tee. He had also frankly stated, and must now re• peat his objection to open a grievance shop, such as this Colllll.ittet must unavoidably become. Lord RRDESDALE said, that the subject to be in troduced on Monday was of the highest importance to the population of Ireland. This country was the great market for the agricultural productions of Ireland. The welfare of Ireland would be best promoted by preserv ing to it this market unimpaired, and by enforcing the dominion of the lam. Earl DARNLEY, although not sanguine in his es peetationi et great advantages, hoped to be able to show that much partial good might be effected. He hoped to sr nvisce even the Noble Lord. that the state al the population was such as to call for the interpc:si lion of l'arlian.ent. The population of that country was now pressing heavily, and, unless some remedy vrese applied, must press with increasing weight upon this.

Intent to the third cruse or the Bib. which mums the puoiehnteat to be issfi.cted upon pawns convicted of petty treason, that hanging In chains be substituted for delivery to the surgeons for dibsection. The opinion generally prevailed that the mode of poniahnsent he now moved to supersede in this particUlar case operateJ to increase the difficulty experienced by the Faculty in procuring an adequate supply of subjects for dis,ection. So strongly did this opinion prevail among medical men, that, after much communication with the most eminent of that body upon the subject, he knew they would rather be s ithout the limited supply, which arose from the sentence of criminals. Lord ROSEBERRY, in reference to dissecting the bodies of criminals, said that he had visited the Quiver• sity of Edinburgh, as one of the Commissioners ap pointed for that purpose, and from all the information he ct uld collect, be considered the practice of handing over the bodies of those who had been guilty of in famous crimes, to be dissected, was extremely injurious. So long as this practice was continued, the infamy con nected with it must prevent others from permitting the bodies of their friends to fall into the hands of the sur geons, and the supply which it produced was not nearly adequate. He thought this subject was well worthy the attention of the House. He held in his hand a letter from a *my distinguished Gentleman in his profession, Dr. M'Cattney, of Dublin, in 'which he stated, that if the bodies of all criminals were given up for dissection, they would not be sufficient. His Lordship moved an 'amendment to this clause. Lord TENTERDEN said it was not his intention to oppose the amendment, but he wished the House fur ther to consider its propriety. Frequent applications were at present made by surgeons for the bodies of those who were executed for murder, and the amend ment might tend to lessen the supply of subjects to the profession, by giving discretionary power to Judges.— He considered that the feeling of respect for the remains of friends ought not to be discountenanced. The amend ment was agreed to. On the clause relative to a woman concealing the birth of a dead illegitimate child, Lord 1 ENDERDEN expressed a wish that the pro vision should be extended to a married woman who concealed the birth of a dead illegitimate child. He also wished it to be left to the discretion of the Judge, whether persons so accused should be tried on an in dictment for murder, or only for the misdemeanour ? The Amendment was agreed to. Several other Amendments having been proposed and agreed to, their Lordships resumed, and the Bill as amended was reported by the Earl of Sou rressuat, and ordered to be re-printed. IMINIIMIINN • • "10 T ATP 110 u. LAW 01 EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWN, the House resolved itself into a Committee upon this Bill. In the Committee the Noble Marquis moved two amendments to the following effect—to extend the pri sikge of giving evidence by affirmation in criminal cases to the Moravians as well as Quakers, and to ex clude persons who have suffered the penalties cf perjury from that provision of the Bill, which place criminals who have undergone the punishment of their crime in the same situation as if they had a pardon under the Great Seal. These amendment having been agreed to, the House resumed. The Report was then received. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that he would not now appoint a day for the Bill being read a third time, but when, with its amendments, it had b:en printed, he would give notice of the time when he bhould move the third tending of this, together with the former Bill. -.;- The --- 11ouse;lt; adjourned until Monday.

COMPIXIATION TO 114111STRAILL On the motion of Mr. Lama, the House resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House, with a view to afford compensa tion to the Registrars of Courts in Ireland, who are to be dismissed in consequence of a Bill now in progress through that House. Sir J. NEWPORT would not at present oppose theßmolution, bat be begged to be understood as not being pledged to the proposed grant in the future stages of the Bin. There was a Report on the table of the House for eight years, which exhibited gross abuses, and which should be inquired into before any thing further was done. Mr. BARING objected to the system of remunerations as now adopted. The sums charged for such remunerations were very large, and deserved the most minute inquiry. The Report was brought up, and ordered to be received onMom. day ileZt. THR CORN LAWS. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, he rose for the purpose of postponing the motion of which his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade had given notice for this clity. That motion respected the Corn Laws, subject of very grew interest and importance to the House and to the country ; and, after the remarks which had been made a few evenings since, he conceived that there should be as little delay as possible in bringing it forward. But he had this day received a communica tion, stating himself to be very unwell, but not so un well as to be unable to perform his duty, if he (Mr. Peel) conceived it would be in any way inconvenient to the House to put it off until Monday next. He (Mr. Peel) expressed to bis Right Hon. Friend his conviction that the House would willingly accede to stub a pro poen' under such eircumstancevrand felt no Affinity in preferring to the House this request on behalf of the Right Hon. Gentleman. He felt confident that the H. use would, therefore, feel satisfied ; and as any farther delay in bringing this question before the House would be attended with inconvenience, if the Right Hon. Gen lieman were unable to attend the House on Monday, helMr. Peel), or some other Member of the Govern ment, would state the views which his Majesty's Go ♦ernment held upon the subject. He hoped, however, there was no doubt of the Right Hon. Gentleman being himself present. Sir EDWARD KNATCH BULL thought it would be desirable that the Right Honourable Gentleman had better state somewhat as to the course to be pursued. if the Right Honourable Gentleman, the Secretary for the Board of Trade, intended to lay his Resolutions upon the table of the House, he (Sir E. Knatchbull) hoped they would be printed, and that time would be given for Members so Satisfy their minds with respect to them; and that considering the state of the House at that precise period of the Session, Members would not be called upon for any specific declaration. Mr. Secretary PEEL had no hesitation in saying, that his Right Honourable Friend would on Monday pursue that course which was most consistent with thel genesal practice of the House. He would then present to the House for their consideration, those Resolutions on which his Majesty's Government had determined. If it should appear to be the sense of the House that on account of the absence of many Members, it would not be well to come to any po•itive vote either for or against those Resolutions—and that for the same reason it would be inconvenient to pledge the House as to any specific plan to be adopted, he (Mr. Peel) felt as. sured that his Right Honourable Friend would act in the way most consistent with the proceedings of the House, and most conformable with the views enter tained by its Members. _ _ Mr. WHITMORE expressed his opinion that much inconvenience would wise if those Resolutions were declared in Committee, as the House would thus pledge itself io some particular course, as such declarations made in Committee would tend greatly to embarass their, proceedings. He felt much interested in this question, inasmuch as he intended to pursue now the same course_which he had pursued during the last Sea. sion of Parliament, and to propose a series of Reso lu• tions, which might pethaps differTrom, and be, in his opinion, better than those to be submitted by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. BARING said, it would, no doubt, be very in expedient for the House to pledge itself upon a plan so , complicated as that to be proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman. But it appeared to him that, if any Hon. Member were called upon to vote, it would be merely a matter of form, and with a view to give the proceed ings a distinct shape. As fir as his experience went, the course to be pursued would be to submit certain Resolutions, which Resolutions wire, upon a motion to that effect, ordered to be printed ; and if any counter Re solutions were put, they, as a matter of courtesy, would be suffered to be printed also; and then the same Com mittee would be adjourned until after the holidays.•- Any vote given, therefore, could be only a formal vote, and would not be in any way pledging any individual to any pat ticular coin se of proceeding. If any Hon. Member would refer to the Journals of the. House, he would find frequent instances in which Resolutions pro posed by Government, and counter Resolutions also, had been ordered to be printed. There would be found many precedents both of the one and of the other. Mr. HUME stated his intention of moving. on Won day, if the forms of the House would permit him so to do when the House was in Committee, a Resolution for fixing a permanent duty on Corn. Mr. PEEL said, the general wish seemed to be, that the views of his Majesty's Ministers should be known as soon as possible, and with that object the Resolutions would be proposed on Monday. With respect to print ing the different sets of Resolutions, he admitted there was precedent to justify it; but he thought it would be very inconvenient to discuss them at one and the same time. His Majesty's Ministers were very desirous that the country should not be left any longer without the expression of their opinion upon the subject, and in whatever shape or form that object could be best at tained, they were peepared to acquiesce.--(Hear). Lord ALTHORP sail, that no progress could be made until the Resolutions were first ♦oted. Mr. PEEL said, the Resolutions will necessarily enter into detail, and if it should be the pleasure of the House, the Government would only take a tormal vote upon the Resolutions. On the motion that the further consideration of the Corn Law Acts be deferred till Monday next, Sir JOHN W ROTTESLEY said, be wished for some more precise information as to the course intended to be pursued. If the Resolutions were voted, then the Bill would be brought in, and they might subsequently report progress ; but, before that could be done, there must be some distinct proposition before the Howe. Mr. PEEL said, the great object was to adopt some form of proceeding which should put the country in possession of the Resolutions agreed to by his Majesty's Ministers ; and how that could be best effected was not a matter of indifference. However, he felt quite satisfied that on Monday there would be no misunderstanding on the subject. The motion was then agreed to. A Message from the Lords announced their Lord ships agreement to several private Bills, without any amendment. RIGISTILAR-SCOMAND. Sir JOHN NEWPORT swished to know what steps had been taken respecting the vacant office of Registrar of Scotland, which bad been declared useless by the Commissioners. Mr. PEEL said that be had made inquiries into the nature and duties of the office of Registrar, to which the Hon. Baronet bad before directed his attention. The Registrar was paid by fees, and sot by salary, and it was found that his situation was one of great pecuniary responsibility. He bad made inquiries into the nature of the risk, and, in short, into every thing connected with the of fice, and until be bad obtained the most complete information, no appointment should be permanently made. On the motion of Mr. Lama, the Irish Juries Reguladou Bill was reconindtted. The Report was brought up and read, and ordered to be taken into further consideration on the loth April nest. Mr. LAMB obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better Re gulation and prevention of malicious 'eludes to Property in Ireland. On the motion of Lord Jest Russia., the Test Laws Repeal Bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday neat. PIOISTIR DL►YI On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Report on the Penryn Dis franchisement J3iii, was read and agreed to. The Noble Lord then moved that the amendments be now read a second time. Mr. STEWART rose to propose an amendment. The SPEAKER interposed. Unless it was an amendment of an amendment the Honourable Member must wait until the present motion should bays been disposed of. The amendments were then read and agreed to. Mr. STEWART again rose and said, it had been reported abroad that seats in that House were to be obtained by bribery and corruption---it was, therefore, his intention to propose a clause in the Bill for transfer- ring to Manchester the privilege hitherto enjoyed by the Borough of Penryn, in order ‘o preserve Manchester from the chance of an accusation of members baring been monied by bribery and corruption. The Noble Lord being a reformer, would of course ruppo g (Mr. a's) motion, in order to ensure the put it, o. representation of Manchester, his adopted child. clause he intended to propose, and which he should' move, VIJS to the following effect: “ And be It further roasted; that the firing,s so be ree l% to represent the Borough of Manchester, shall each of them, he comes to the table of the House of Canvases tete rwurria, and subscribe the following deciaratios— I, h.: B, de most sole% declare, that neither directly nor indirectly, to my ho wa y have the votes or suffrages of the Burgesses of Manchesttr, behalf, been obtained through br " ibery or corruption, er r influence of any Peer of the realm. Sir J. NEWPORT opposed the motion. A t "one had many years since been proposed in that and rejected. He- was quite convinceJ the L' Font adopt a motion, having for it object to electors of Marchester in a diferent situali ' of any other city or borough in the kingdom. It equally sure that while the, House conferred , people of Manchester the elective franchise, it litrt at the same time express a want of confidence purity of their principles—(Hear.) Mr. D. W. HARVEY said there was now no ml system of Reform, and it was proposed to with particular places as they were then about to with Pentyn. Formerly all general Reform was silted as of too sweeping a nature, and n-iw the p Baronet (Sir John Newport) opposed the partial r ciple of Reform which was so fashionably prer He (Mr. H.) however, hoped the Hon. Memt Stewart) would persevere in his motion, and pus sincerity of this House to the test. Mr. WARBURTON objected to the dame.: no reason why either the electors or the representatn t of Manchester should be placed in kdifferent skulk from others. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, if the dame were lorit upon as good in principle, it should be generally plied—(Hear, hear.) The same tight of voting prevail at Manchester as in every ether place kingdom. It would lower the character of the that there should be any thing secret in the electing their Representatives, and to any clause such an object, he was decidedly opposed. Mr. HUME asked if it would lower the di, the House to have Members elected by ballot: system prevailed in electing Committees in the HI He hoped the clause would not be pressed at kr but that the Hon. Member would take an opport of urging it on Monday next. Mr. PEEL said, that Election Committees only appointed by ballot.—(Several Members dissented, He was not at present aware of any other. If the ' Gentleman alluded to the putting of names int green glasses, and taking one out, that was :moth, ease, and he did not apprehend that that system be recommended for Manchester. If the allusion to the voting in Committees, there was no ins“ that having been done for the last five or six With respect to the clause before the Committee, gave the Boroughreeve the right of being a candi as he was the returning officer, such a provision di appear desirable. The Sheriffs of counties were vented from being candidates on that account, at thought the returning officer, in the case of - ought not to be an exception. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that his reason for to the Boroughreeve the right of being a candi MU that that officer was appointed by .the Lord of Manor, and he might appoint a person havin7., ti known intention of offering himself as a candidate, thereby prevent him from doing so. With 'ear, the declaration proposed by the Honourable be objected to it, because it would not be requiri Members sitting for other place.. Mr. WYNN said that the Crown possessed - alluded to by the Noble Lord, in the case of Counties, and yet no evil had ever been found to from it. He taw no reason for making an - and perhaps the Noble Lord's object would be best e fected by giving the right to avoid the office, upe payment of a fine. Sir J. SCARLETT saw no good reason for making this an exception to the general rule of not allowini the Returning Officer to be a Candidate. With regar, to the declaration against bribery and corruption, if there was in the whole country any one place less than another where corrupt influence was likely to have effect, it was Manchester, both as regarded the extent of its population and its independence. He therefore fa el 00 necessity for requiring such a declaration, having no fear that the wishes of the majority of the voters would be overruled by corrupt influence. Sir G. PHILLIPS said, that the Boronghreeve set appOinied by the Court Leet, the Members of eihielt were named by the Steward of the Lord of the Mao% An influence might therefore he exercised in appoints!l a particular individual, who was known to be intenclA as a Candidate, and on that account be wished tote the clause preserved.

Mr. HOBHOIJSE rose to call the attention of lit Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department to the Report of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Sup. ply of Water to the Metropolis, which was any 'hil l but satisfactory. He wished to thaw the attentions( the Right Hon. Gentleman to certain passages of as 0 Report, which stated that the Commissioners suppose , ' their power to extend not only to an investigations ( the pie.ent supply of water, but to the future means( rendering it sufficient and good ; and with that vie' they had .examined a large mass of evidence. "ite Right Hon. Gentleman, however, had objected to tse expense of taking Surveys, and said, that that hid formed no part of the objects of the Commission. If that was the case, he wished to know why an Engioes like Mr. Telford had been made one of the Comer siouers ? It appeared to him that the object of Pail . " ment was to ascertain hew some full and salubriO supply of water could be procured. That also was sO notion which Dr. Roget, and Mr. Brande, and Mr. Tar. ford, entertained of their posers. But, at an interviee with the Right Hon. Centimes, they were told this they must make an analysis of the water before of thing could be decided upon. They told him, in anseess that six months must elapse before that analysis could be completed, which made it impossible that any Ir gislative measure could intervene to insure a health! supply of water to the metropolis for another year. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that when he came into office, he found that a Commission had been appoint by another Secretary of State, with what be consider/ ample powers to call upon the existing Water Coo ponies to show whether or not they had the means! supplying a sufficient quantity of wholesome woe But, when it was proposed to him to incur a large ee pense in taking levels and surveys, he certainly thoue it right and necessary to have estimates of what tbli expense would be before they embarked oral such' scheme—(Hen). that they were t but he had tern Commission had June, 1827, to till water had been ni port could be m that, and after I brious supply cm panics, then he tli whom should fall surveys.
