Lend EBRINGTON said, he held in, his hand a Pe tition to which he should request the particular atten tion of the House. It was twin the Merchants and other inhabitants of Dartmouth against the.imptove ment of the Harbour Bill, which was now passing through this House. If the Bill should uniortunately pass into a law, it would increase the harbour fees, and enlarge the number of officers, at the mete discretion of the Mayor and Burgesses, and vtithsalaries of a very large amount. He had often beard of Bills being brought into this House, which were called se jobs," but a more rank job than the present it had not fallen to his lot to meet. Ij was so gross, indeed, that he was sure it could never obtain the sanction of this House. The Petitioners in conclusion prayed to he heatd by Counsel against the Bill. N • • • 4SiPERW4 4 3 11.14 .

Published by Messrs. liatchard, 187, Piccadilly; and Messrs. Arch, 61, Curnhill. Sir JOSEPH YORKE was much obliged to the Noble Lord for stating to the House the grossness of this job, which would go to tax improperly the naviga tion of the country. The object of the Bill was to place a miserable patronage at the sands of the Corporation; and it it passed into a law, it vtould materially tend to the injLry of the safe harbour of Dartmouth. People who were already nearly pauperised by taxes should not have additional burtliens thrown upon them. Mr. ROBINSON did not wish to ssy anything dis respectful of the CI rporation of Dartmouth ; yet as it was a very close Cot poration, he should watch its pro ceedings as he would those of any other Borough similaily situatt d.

WELCH JUDICATURE. Sir HUTTON COOPER (Dartmouth) said, that as one of the Representatives rf the Borough of Dart mouth, it was impossible for him to remain silent after the violent attack which the Noble Lord (Ebrington) had thought proper to make upon that Corporation, calling the proposed Bill a notorious J b. Sir Hutton did not pre.end to so extensive a knowledge in jobbing is the Noble Lord s for if the two Corporations where he bad the honour to have a seat, iris. Dartmouth and Bath,' were such utter strangers to jobbing,' his know; ledge - Of those matters must of necessity be very limited.' But be that as it may, he believed, upon his ; honour, that a more just or equitable Bill was never brought under the consideration of that House; for so far Tiom, the account of monies proposed to be leived being kept close, or only for the inspection of the Mearbent of the . Corporation, Th ey were to be always left open, and, in..; spected by the Justices of the County at . the Sessions, who were to allow or not the several charges, as in their judgment seemed right. • The Petition was referred to the Committee on the Dartmouth Harbour Improvement Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the subject eras side of great difficulty and perplexity, and had been vepeatedly under the consideration of his Majesty's Go _Ornate:lt. The deliberations of Government were not yet, however, so mature as to warrant him in giving an answer to the question whether this part of the judica ture of, the country would be referred to the intended Commission. Loid CAWDOR said, that he thought it respectful 'to the House, after what had fallen from the Noble and Learned Lord, to give notice of his intention to bring the subject under their Lordship's consideration soon after the holidays, it he should find that the final de termination of Government was to exclude it from the inquiries of the Commissioners.

POST MICE, IRELAND. Lord DARNLEY, seeing a Noble Lord in his place, who was at the head of a Commission to inquire into the various Revenue Departments of Great Britain and Irelind, and which had some time ago been engaged in a laborious investigation into the Post Office in Ireland, wished to know it there was any probability of an early report, recommending alterations and improvements in that department? Lord WALLACE replied, that it was not intended to make a separate Report upon the subject of the Irish Post Office, tat a general Report would be made in a short time as to t! .e state of this department in the three Kingdoms. This Report would embrace every thing the Commissioners had to recommend. He was not at all surprised at the Noble Lord's question, as a delay had occurred which appeared to require explanation, and which he was happy to be afforded an opportunity of explaining. The delay had arisen from particular cir cumstances. After they had completed their inquiry in Ireland, they found that to enable them to make a satis factory Report, it was necessary that they should pre viously investigate the Post Office of Englard. Cir cumstances arose in the mean time which compel'ed them to direct their attention to another department ; this department occupied them much longer than had been expected, and they had• presented five Reports upon it. They were now engaged wpon the Post Office in England, and he hoped that in a very few weeks he should be enabled to present a Report. What recom mendations that Report would be likely to contain, it might be inconvenient for him now to state, but he begged to assure the Noble Lord that no time had been or would be lost. Sir IL. INGLIS presented a Petition from a Parish in Salop, against the repeal of the Test Laws—Ordered to be primed.

Mr. BIRCH presented a Petition from the Maltsters of Not tingham, praying the Repeal of the Duty upon Malt. Mr. DUG DALE presented a Petition .from the Surgeons of Birmingham, praying that greater facilities may be afforded them of obtaining subjects for dissection. " Sir It. FERGUSON said, this subject was one of the highest importance, and he begged the attention of the House to it. Sir JOSE PH YOItKE was of oi inion i that if persons in articulo mord: were allowed to dispose of their b odies, surgeons would not be as inconvenienced as they now were. Many a pauper would be glad to leave ten guineas to his widow, which hp could not now legally do. Mr. P. THOMPSON said, it was matter of notoriety that subjects could be had in Paris for ten francs each—and that must, of necessity, prove useful to the object of science.—The Petition was ordered to be printed. • On the motion of Mr. SYKES, the Corporate Regulation Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from Arbroath, praying the Repeal of the Test Laws; and.also, that all elassesof his Majesty's subjects should be eligible to any office in the State—no matter what their religion might be.—Ordered to be printed. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the Occupiers of Land in Hereford, praying an alteration in the Game Laws. He con curved with the prayer of the Petitioners, and hoped this Session would not pass over without some alteration taking place. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from Cornelius Griffin, a Clergyman, who bad been eight years a Commissioner in North America, stating that the grants of Parliament for-the support of the Established Church in that country were not properly applied ; and that the numbers of the Established Church were but one sixteenth of the population. Mr. WILMOT-HORTUN said the estimates were before the Finance Committee, who would, no doubt, inquire into the appli cation of the money. Mr. HUME moved that the Petition be referred to the Fl stance Committee; buton the suggestion of Mr. WILMOT•HOATON, withdrew his motion. Lord DARNLEY was thankful to the Noble Lord Ifor the candid manner in which he had answered his question. He was happy to hear that the subject of the English and Gish Post Offices were to be blended in the same Report, as that circumstance gave him reason to hope that one of the recommendatitms would be to assi• , milatc the two. Lord WALLACE had every reason to believe that the incorporation of the English and Irish Post Office would be one of the recommendations of the Com missioners. The Annual Duties and the Annual Indemnity Bills severally went through a Committee, and were ordered to be read a third time on Wednesday. Mr. Itomuson presented an Account of the Receipt and Expen diture of the Trusters of the Shrewsbury and Holyhead Road, from the sth of January, t 827, to the 6th of January, 1828.

At present he was unable to wry more oboist it. .. Mr. ESTCOURT was aware of the importance of the subjects is it affected the interests of a most respectable class of tavern. keepers and others, whose property was put in jeopardy by the ex• fisting laws. Ile thought that a Bill might be now introduce& to provide a remedy in this case, as the general Bill to be committed this day would not come into operation fur a considerable period. Sir G. PHILLIP begged to ask the Hon. Member If he meant to introduce a clause calling upon Magistrates, in the event of with holding a license, to state their reasons for so doing? Mr. ESTCOURT replied, that at present the Bill contained as such clause. Mr. Alderman WOOD did not think the Petitioners had meet ground of complaint. Mr. Hillary, and others situated like Mm,- could take out a license, and then they would not incur the penal. ties they now complained of. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said the house of Mr. Hillary was very respectably conducted, and he would be glad to assist him in receiving back the amount of the penalties he had incurred without any blame being attributable to him. The Petition was laid on the table.- Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY gave notice, that on the 6th of May be &aukd move fpr a copy of a Memorial presented to the Treesutyliy Coseltry Butlers on the subject of the Eiramp'Duty on Bask Notes; and copies of the Opinions of the Attorney sad Son citor-General on saki Memorial, Mr. ROBINSON j.resented a Petition from Worcester against any alterations in the present Mode of taking the Poll at Cities and Borough..

Colleague, who now objected to change, was the first who proposed in that Mom to make the change contethplated in the Bill. Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS presented a Petition from the Cor poration of Dumfries, for the repeal of the Teyt and Corporation Acts. A Message from the Lords stated that their Lordships had agreed to several private Bills, and requested copies of the Report of the Select Committee on Friendly Societies.

Mr: CURiFEIS, afier a : few Observations, 'kW& • were for the stso'separt inaudible; noved for Returns of all Foreign 'Corn 'atilt Maui imported' into the Isle of Man, and the quantity exported' therefrom, from the month of December, 1827, to the Ist of Ma ch, 1828. Mr. CHARLES GRANT regretted that the Hon. Gentleman had asked these questions before the approaching discussion of the general subject, as it was possible. that the Honitur.tble Member's state ment may create a feeling of anxiety ei.t of doors. However, he would state, in a few words, how the law stood with respect to the intercourse between the Isle of Man and foreign countries. There was , : no particular regulation for the Isle of M an , nor r, it 'comprehended in the Corn Laws till th e passing', of the 1s: and 2J George IV. Flour beimg the manu-i Whole of that Island, was as sloth admissible into England; but The Law he - bad just menticned not prohibiting' it, it was allowed to.etoce in on the pay- Ment of the 'neat 'duty. It' Was .intended, COra Bill proposed last year, to include the Isle of Mos, but at that was thrown out in the Upper House, the matter tembeitiecl'as it stood before the passing of the Ist and 2d of George IV.' As the law now existed, Foreign Corn Might End its way to the Isle of Man, a n d th ence into this•country ; but the quantity which had so found its way herecould not form any ground for the slightest appiehension. He knew it was said, that Corn was exported. from Liverpool to the Isle of Man, and sent back in the shape of Flour; but the whole quantity ex. ported from June last to the commencement of Decem ber, only amounted to 4,518 quarters, and that im por ed '2,617 quarters. The whole extent of foreign wheat imported into the I-le of Man, did not exceed 4,517 quarters for the same period. Now with respect to the grain and flour imported from the hle of Man, he held in his hand the Returns which he had to-day received, and from them it appeared that from 1825 to 1826, the quantity was 15 cwt. from 1826 to 1827, only 8 cwt. and from January 1827 to January 1828, about 9 cwt. —(Wear, hear.) This was the case, then, in the last year, and how any alarm could have been excited by it, he was totally at a loss to imagine. , The previous omissions as to the Isle of Man would be rectified in the forthcoming Corn Bill, and a more equitable adjustment secured by it. Mr. CURTEIS said, he only asked for the Returns for the last few months, of which the Right Hon. Gen tleman had not said a syllable. It cculd not be denied, that several seizures of flour had taken place within the period far which lie asked the Returns. - Mr. C. GRANT observed, that be knew nothing of any such se;zures as the Hon. Member had alluded to. He (Mr. Grant) had no objection to granting the lte• !u• ns now called for. Sir E. KNATCHBULL, after expressing his regret that the consideration of the Corn Laws bad been de layed so long, said he was still more sorry that the Right Hon. Gentleman's motion on the subject was fixed on Friday next, the last day of public business before the holidays, when many Gentlemen interested in the question would be unavoidably abse..t. On this ground he would a...k the Right Hon. Gentleman whe ther it would not be expedient to postpone the consi deration of it till 'after the holidays? the discussion of such an important measure would be premature in the absence of so many Gentlemen. He understood that the object cf bringing forward the question on Friday w.. s a wish cm the part of the Government to put the public in possession of their intentions before the holi days. ,:_ Mr. GRANT lamented as much as any other Gen• tleman the delay which had occurred in the introduction of the question. In fact, he had fixed on Friday with out thinking of the probable absence of many Gentle men interested in the question, who might be expected to take an active part in the discussion ; n or had hearty i wish to bills it on n their absence. On this ground he was not disinclined to postpone the consideration of • the subject, but would bow to the decision of the Hon e. Mr. C4LCRAFT would have no objection that LI e subject should come before the House on Friday, if it were possible to open such an interesting question with out following it up by a discussion ; but as he was sure that the Right Honourable Gentleman's exposition mast be followed by a ditcussitto t l e thoubht it wouli FRENCH, PAPERS.
