The House, upot %Ob.. tgeir Report, would be better able to judge of the merits of the ems. Mr. i j, GRATTAN said, he must oppose any attempt to dissolve the Company, with - svirich some of the most respectable mercantile men in Dublin were connected, apd which had been fount highly beneficial to the public. The consequence of referring the matter to a. Select Committee would be to dissolve the Company. The small minority of shareholders who were dissatisfied Iniisltt, if they pleased, transfer their capital, and thus witbdraw from the concern r but the dissatisfaction of, a few was not a fair ground for putting an end to it.— Those who principally favoured such an attempt were persons connected with a rival establishment, the Pro vincial Banking Company. Mr. S. RICE proposed, that the discussion on the Bill should be postponed to Thursday next. Mr. .1. GRATTAN concurred in the suggestion. The q uestion of adjourning the discussion having been put, Sir G. HILL proposed, as an amendment , that the matter should be referred to a Select Committee, and was proceeding to argue the merits of the case, when be was called to order. 'flat, SPEAKER said, it was not competent to the licrillMeraber to propose any amendment, except one for a change of the day to which it was proposed to adjourn the debate. After a few words from Lord Esnosstente, Mr. V. Frisossacer, and Mr. rowan, the debate was adjourned till Thursday next.

ALMIRALTYMELAND. ' 'Mr. LA MB seeing the Right Honourable the Member for Wa terford in his place, wished him to postpone his motion relative to the Admiralty Courts in Ireland, which stood for this evening. The Judge of that Court was about to give up his situation, and be hoped that part of the motion referring to him would not now be necessary. With respect to other branches of the subject, they were under inquiry, and no delay would be made in laying the lie pert before the House. All statements against a Court of Justice being in the first instance ex parte, were to be avoided as much as pogsible, and he submitted the propriety of postponing the motion. Sir .1011 N NEW PORT bad 110 objection to the postponement. All hr wi.lied was than the mime of that Coort abould have Jus tice duce thent..-Motion postponed till the Stli.of May next. iIIIZNDLY SOCIETIES. Mr. BROUGHAM presented a Petition from thej Chairman and Secretary of the Delegates from the Eriendly Society of Manchester, against the Bill before the House. The Petitieriers to the House on this subject amounted altogether to above ore million of persons, the best behaved as well as the most industrious among i the community; and he coincided with them mostfully, in their objections to the Bill. The retrospective clause was, in his opinion, well calculated to loci ease litigation. He meant tire clause which subjects any Society to the provisionstif the Bill if they matte any alterations in their Rules. He objected also to the Arbitration Clause, and to other clauses, and he apprehended. tha: if the Bill were strips ed of those dames, the remainder of the 831 would scarcely be worth passing. Under these ciicurn stances, lie suggested the expediency of withdrawing the Bill for the pre-eat Session. tbot Mr.lloßl - 10USE. concurred in the opinion that there vete several objectionable clauses in the 11111. Among others, tl.e Actuary Clause was one which aptly Inflame interested in thee Societies- objected in; they dilute ! proved of the calCulatiuns being subjected to the tables of Mr, Finial:on. which, by some pet sr ti, wetodeestreck to be very incorrect. He was glad to IsOntersned.. . one million of persons were engsged in those Societies, and that the sum, of 15.000,000 k etas ebibarked in them. He bad been informed, that the effect of this Bill, whether wiset,y, or not he would not say, bad induced many persons, to withalraw from these. Sc cieties. He approved. of the principle, of as little inter- , , ference in the concerns of indryiduals as possible. Mr. T..CQUiI.T.E.NAV said, he had b: stowed great attention 'to tilt !BM; be was disposed 'to adopt sotre ensielsfixatien of the Clauses; bet others suggested' by the Honourable Alembers he could not assent to, lest the principle of the Bill might be destroyed. He was **milling to give up the present Bill, as o herwise all she itwonveniences of the old faw -must remain in force. 1,1 the-present Bill were not carried, he certai4y would. not undettake to prosecute it in a subsequent Session. Ms. PaIiQ'M.PSON remarked upon the facility with which Petitions were got up, especially in matters in which publicans, as is. the present instance, were deeply interested. Hk hoped the .

Mr. MOORE presented a Petition from the Master an 4 War dens' of the Corporation of Merchants. and another from the Cor poration of Smiths in Dublin, complaining of the power exercised by the Roman Catholic Association in Ireland. Mr. MOORE presented a Petition from the Master and War dens of the Corporation of Merchants, and another from the Cor poration of Smiths in Dublin, praying that the law by which di. mates were given by counties in Ireland for losses sustained at riots might be extended to cities and corporate towns. Mr. C. BARCLAY moved for leave to bring In a Pin to give the Magistrates of the county of Galway a concurrent jurisdfctlim with the Magistrates of the town and county of Galway. He thought it necessary to bring the subject before the House, in order to pre- Tem a recurrence of the disgraceful scenes that had taken plane at the Election for Galway. The Honourable Member concluded by mewing for leave to bring in a Bill to preserve the peace-during the Elections for the County. COUNTY PALATINE ADMINISTRATION OT JUSTICE. Mr. WILBRAHAM, after passing a high eulegittm upon the general Institutions of the country provided for the administration of justice, contended that no good reason could exist for withholding them from the county of Chester, because about 700 years ago William the Conqueror, in pursuit of his feudal policy, chose to make it a County Palatine. After enumerating some of the grievances to which this important county was exposed from not participating in the great institutions of the country, he moved an Address, that instructions be given to the Commissioners of Inquiry into the De fects of the Law. occasioned by time or otherwise, that they direct their early attention to the administration of justice in the County Palatine of Chester. Mr. LEYCESTER seconded the motion. Mr. Secretary PEEL observed, that the Honhurable Mover was labouring under an important mistake; no such Commission as that referred to in his motion had issued under the authority of the Great Seal. The Honourable and Learned Member who proposed the appointment of that Committee withdrew his motion. The Great Court of Sessions for Wales and Chester cer tainly were comprised, and should be considered as in cluded within the terms of the motion alluded to by the Honourable Meiriber, and in this report he certainly concurred with him. Possibly this admission would answer all the purposes contemplated by the Honour able Member's speech. Mr- WILBRAHAM admitted that he was satisfied by what bad fallen in the way of admission from the Right Honourable Secretary of State, and should ex pect the attention of the Commissioners to be directed to the subject. SUBJECTS FOR DISSECTION. Mr. WARBURTON said, he should uespassbut for a very few moments on their patience, in explaining the object of his motion, anxious as the House appeared to be for proceeding ton subject of still greater importance. —That object was . simply the propagation of scientific and anatomical information, by mea .s of facilitating a re k ular supply of dead subjects for dissection in. our schools of surgery. Although our students iu surgery were numerous, amounting perhaps, in London, to 600 or 700, without including the eauntry, if it were not for the difficulty experienced in providing subjects on which the professors might lecture, this number would be con siderably increased ; for it was now ascertained that there were not less than 200 English students in Paris, and about 300 in Dublin, besides some in the Flemish and German schools of anatomy, whose only reason for retiring from their own country would be found to originate in the cheapness and facility with which they were supplied with subjects for dissection, contrasted with the &faculty and expense which they experienced in prosecuting those studies so beneficial to humanity. Taking tbe supply for these students to be at the rate of two subjects for each, the number of subjects required annually could not much exceed 2,000, if our schools were as full of students as we had a right to eapect.— How far this supply was aided by legal provision, might he conjectured from the fact that there was no pro ✓ision made by law for surrendering up to the College of Surgeons any bodies of malefactors except arty d eters, who were head in London and Middlesex not to exceed five, on an average, in seven years:. It was not his intention at present to trespass on the province lief the medical Gentlemen. whose interests were mote partiCislasly at issue, by detailing or even suggestingthe beeline of the remedy which they believed they had it in their power to suggest to the House, so as to remove the difliralty existing in procuring a supply of subjects. lie would nevertheless state a circumstance which Proved that the growth of information tended, and must daily stilt moss tend, to remove the prejudices and re• pugnance to dissection, which formed one of the most formidable &Stades to overcome in the path of science. A Professor, of well known celebrity, who had lectured on the subjects of osteology, before an assemblage of 1,200 mechanics, much to their satisfaction, proposed to continue his course of lectares on the human frame still further; these persons, although not accustomed to such an exhibition before, expressed siwish tc hear the lecturer neat of the softer parts of the body, and ac.,l cordingly a disinterred subject was introduced, the face being concealed, and other precautions taken to render . it less offensive; and singular as it may appear, with :the eaception of two or three weak stomachs, all wit nessed the dissection without either disgust or loathing —(A laugh:) ' And the body, after the operation of diss, siccing all the muscular and vascular parts, was reduced to a skeleton,, acid is at this moment the property of the lnstitutioe- 7 {Laughterj ! The Hon. Member concluded by mooing for a Select Committee to inquire into the m innee et obtaining subjects for the school of anatomy, and into the state ot'the law affecting them. Mr. J. SMITH, in seconding the motion, considered it of importance to the public and to science, that 1 students should be deprived of the opportunities of diss, section until the subjects were far advanced in a state !of putrescence. Mr. Secretary PEEL acknowledged that if ever he eatertaioed a doubt as to the propriety of making some 'lative provision on this head, it arose altogether Ift delicacy, and a consciousness of the difficulty of I.' sisAltiug successfully with old and con fi rmed prejos, ' es. At the same time, be would admit it was not a iglu mattes that so many ea2inent an d intelligent men pj in that professkni should feel it necessary to appeal to that House, and state thatthey felt very great difficulty in:prosecuting their nseful and humane inquiries in con sequence of the obstacles seising out of the present state sf the low in this respect. Lie certainly would be the last rpm to oppose these Gentlemen iatheir wish to be b ear d before a Committee of that House, if they could A iggas4 a mode to procure a supply of the dead for this *lsom% without offending Bie•lechngs of the helps.-- Por the eulightened views, pure philanthrepy, and li- I beral feelings of medical men generally,be felt so Nisch respect, that be did not hesitate to pronounce theta a blessing to their native land, and so honour to hums. pity—(Hear)—yet he would suggest the necessity of reviewing peat moderation sad #eaution in brlnghat, forward aisiitasore, which atemed to conflict .with the prejudices of mankind generally, and wage war with fitosi feelings of respect for the departed which sur vired beyond the grave. One of the worst pos+ible topics to introduce into his speech was the calculation made by the Hon. Member, that 2,000 dead bodies would be requisite yearly for the supply of the students of the metropolis. The only point, too. in which that Hon. Member's anecdote respecting the victory obtained over prejudice in the Mechanics Institute failed, was not that a few a eak stomachs grew qualmish, but that none of these eager disciples of information had, in order to show their disdain of vulgar notions and ancient prejudices, come forward' and justified the eulogium the Honourable Member bad pronounced on them by offering their own bodies to be dissected— (Laughter)—for this vulgar prejudice was not a preju dice against seeing bodies dissected, bet a pr ejudice against being ourselves dissected—(A laugh)..—The attempt to supply the advantages derived from dip Section by the substitution of was work and wax models, had been very properly denominated merely mangling the living instead of the dead. He was aware it had been suggt rind, that in order to in crease • the supply, the bodies of all persons dying under sentence for felony should be given up for, disection. To this it was objected, that the prac. tice would decrease the punishment, and perhaps proportionally diminish the horror felt for a murderer's doom. The Hon. Member should take particular care in framing his remedy, so that its effect should not be to raise the Nice of a subject, which was not impossible, unless the Bill were framed with caution. He should certainly feel it his duty, in the present state of they public feeling, to wave all personal objection to the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the subject. The motion was agreed to; and the Committee accordingly ap pointed. Aosownounne. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the House at its rising should adjourn to Thursday nest.—Ordered. CORN LAIVL Oa the sitiestion, that the Home shook! resolve Um a Committee on the Corn Laws' Act, Mr. PORTMAN said, that he considered the present propositions that had come from his Majesty's Govern. went. as worse than those which had been brought for ward last year. In the latter case there had been a positive protection afforded ; but the present Resolutions neither gave so decided a protection, nor did they afford it to the same amount. The receipts of the Landed Interest of Ent band,it would be found on inquiry, were only equal to el nel eg of what they had formerly been, and therefore be, thought that the Government was bound to consider the necessity of providing against any further depreciation. He took it for granted, from what he could understand ti the intentions of the Government,' that they conceived that sixty shillings was the price at which the land nuldcrs ought to be protected; or...in other words, that sixty shillings ought to be about the price which they !were to receive for the production of their land. Bet if Omh were the feeling of Government, it was surely neces. Dry for them to take some step by which that price should be maintained; and be did not think that the present measure was sufficient for sneh a purpose (Hear). He therefore trusted that the House would feel in clined to support him, should he move that the Com mittee should be gone into that day six months. Mr. BYNG thought that the present Resolutions were not open to the objections which had been taken to them. The point tor. which the landed interest was' stickling, was the imposing of a higher protecting duty; but he could not exactly Make out with what they would be content: AU the concession that be found them willing to make was, that they did not wish the price quite to reach eighty shillings—(A laugh). Mr. BEAUMONT said, that in 'several places on the Continent the price of wheat was such, that it could be imported at 545. The price 'was 245. which, together with the other charges and duty, amounting to 30r. made 545. N rw, Ministers assumed that 58s, was the lowest rate at which importation could take place, but this calculation, of the accuracy of which he was assured, gave a different result. Mr. C. GRANT admitted, that there was soane:diffi. catty to determining the precise price at.which foreign importation might take place. and this difficulty arose from the.varying nature of the price of. the article of foreign Co:a. The difficulties that sometimes occurred in the navigation occasioned this fluctuation. It was occasioned, too, by a variation in the harvests, and by a variety of circurnstancea, into the. detail of which be, would not now enter. It was. sufficient for hint to say, that amidst the difficulties with which the question. was surrounded, the Government had fixed tr.' what they considered to be a reasonable protection. They had, in tie first place, adopted a varying duty, which it would be admitted on all sides was preferable to a prohibitory one. But the. shortest and most mist factory way for him to proceed, was to advert to facts. He would, therefore, state what appeared. from the papers laid before the House, to be the prices of i corn in the principal coin markets of Europe, with a view of showing that there was no reasonable gr• and for entertaining the apprehension expressed by the Hon. Member (Mr. Beaumont). In Dantec, the price in 1827 was 225. the charge of coasoyance he would estimate at 12s. which, together with the duty, and other , charges in this country, would exceed 645. It bed been stated that corn was introduced .into Hull and into Newcastle at a price below 58s. but the circumstances under which it was introduced were not stated. It .was very well known that bad corn could be *rm. :duccri at a very inferior price. He would next advert to Hamburgh, between which and this country there was a very constant communication , —throe price in 1826 ,was 235. Op. and in 1E27, 235. 2d. which, with the accompanying charge and deity to-v.lkb he had before 'activated. would exceed the sum which had been stated by the Honourable Member. To come Dearer home— to Holland—the price of Corn was still dearer, and the consequent duty, &c. raised the importation price higher. At St. Petersburgh the price was 255. and according to the scale of duties, the. Importation price would approach to nearly 70s. .Upon the whole of the averages of the, last six years it would be seen, be waesatis fi ed, that aide' all due allowance for the difficaltler with which the ' question was surrounded. the protection adopted by his ,Majesty's Government was a reasonable, a moderate, rand a just one. Mr. PORTMAN hoped the Right Hon: Gentleman !would not omit to state the important fact, whether the ,proposed scale was or was not to be permanents I Mr. Secretary HUSKISSON here intimated, that the' more proper and usual time for entering upon the dig ussion of the Resolutions would be in a Committee, when the merit of the several parts of the measure miff i c ! be discussed. This was far more convenient than to lanticipate that discussion by an irregular debate now' tOrte Gentleman said be would not support the measure li n Committee, if such a duty was proposed; another `Get:denten objected to another branch of the measure. But instead of putting these suppositious cases, the fa r better way would be to bear what was proposed, are then to entertain the discussion upon it.—(llear). Mr. CALCRAFT differed from the Right Hog Gentleman. He maintained that the discussion w, .iterfectly Parliamentam He admitted:Ow - they eottla make no . preigreSs in the plan proposed by tie Righ t Ron. President of the Board of Trade untiLtheSpeato had left the Chair ; but he thought that Hon. Member, had a right to seek for information upon particular points, He had supported the plan of last year, which bad received the sanction of a great majority of that House, and which had been brought forward by Mr. Canning with so much ability; and until be heard some reams why the present was its superior, he was atit willing to see the Resolutions of the Right Honourable Gan. tlernan (Mr. Grant) make any proem* in that Hoyle. He contended, that if the interests of the whole core. munity were not consulted, the question would not be set permanently. at rest. He admitted and maintained that the landed interest ought to be protected, and he felt its great importance to the country ; but the p ro ; tection was necessary with a view to the interest of th e country in general—(Hear, hear) —if the agriculteiile Were not supported, the whole community ma eider. He thought that no one entertained such Wild notions upon the subject as to wish to let dow n the price of corn so much as to give the market to the foreigner—(Hear hear). Such a inoceediag Would eventually produce higher price., in acidities to a dependence on foreign countries. What h i ontended for was, that the country was well satin Bed with the-measure of last year. He had him. eel thought 60s. was ample as the first price; h et now, without any change whatever having taken place, excepting in his Majesty's Councils, they were told the the present price ought to be 644. He spoke of the Winchester measure; and let the House look at theca. cumstacces. In 1815, a Bill fixed the fair remunerating price at 80s.—in 1822, in consequence of a change is circumstances, the price was fixed at 705.--its ter, t h e House was told, that upon a calculation of the average prices for the preceding five years, 60s. would be a fa t pivot price; and now, whip the average price for the intervening period had been lower than it was before. the Right Hon. Gent. came forward and told the Housethat 645. was a fair pivot price. Was such a proceeding gra. cious to the peopleovho had expressed their approbatios of the former measure?—(Hear). Was it gracious to the House of Commons, a majority of which, at the instance of his Majesty's Government, had given its warm support to that ,treasure?—(Hear, heat). And this alteration was made, too, without any reason being assigned. Indeed the Right Hon. Gentleman, in Wag ing forward the Resolutions, had had too much me. desty to attempt to assign a reason 'for abandoning the old Bill, when he knew there was none—(Hear). He objected, therefore, to that part of the Resolution which differed from the measure of last year. In adverting to the objection taken to the present Resolutions by the Hon. Member for Dorsershire, he must agree with his lion. Friend in saying,that by the new plan, where the agriculturist was the most vulnerable he was the emu exposed, and where he was the least in danger or opts to attack, he was encumbered with armour—(Heaii, The people of England did not wish to have Corn at a very low price, eueptisg it shoold please PROVIDE . to grant an abundant harvest; and then, in common with the agriculturist, they would rejoice at the blest ing. What the people wished was, that the real interest of the commatiity should 'be consulted, and that . the; agrkulturist -should be ade.,uately protected. By 04 Bill of last year he was protected, and as an impor tant alteration had been made, he, in common with his Honourable Friend and others, was desirous of information upon the point. They all knew more than they were in the habit of saying in that House. to cch H oeee e npds d isue i dr d tes l e: h ou Duke e oppos e gl of dd Wellington's outany of m r e e as gGa ure or vderf w onrin h i he c in l s i t,o r t o. froma, tthewh The Duke of Wellington did right enough in proposing that the pivot price should be 645. and some Right Honourable Gentlemen might act very wisely in supporting that proposition, although they . had advocated the Bill of last year;' b ut their conduct was no ground for the proceedings of that House. Whatever might be their reasons for upholding the nes measure, it would ill become die House to forget is consistency.—(Hear). But he might be told that he was not right in supposing that the Duke of Wellingtoe as the head of the Cabinet, had effected the change.— He might be told that the best way of securing the s'* cess of the principles of the mousse was to adopt the present B.esolutiuns—that . they would be permittei to pass into a law. He had heard a great deal too such I of that sort of linguage of late--(Hear). He had bees I told in a ComMittem up stairs that such and such Noble Lord is so strongly opposed to such and such a ' clause, that if it is not omitted, the Bill will not pan into a law—(Cheers). `Ag ainst all such language he protested—(Hear, bear). He wishedto see the men fitting measure passed into a law, and he did not believe the the other House of Parliament would ever so far pervert its office as to thwart the interest of the communist' at large. The Right Hon. Secretary' for the Colonies said that no one could object to the motion before the House, unless he approved of the law as it stood. He did nut see the justness of the remark. He did change in the law. A more pernicious law than the Scent oaf had never been contrived, and he cangtatulated on having b.en one of its most strenuous opposers.— Such, then, were his grounds of • opposition to the pre' posed ResolutiOns, and if he thought.the Rouse wod 4 follow him in supporting the 13111 of last years as kb" done the Right HIM.
