It was lte- lved as follows : 'that scarcely had we begun to enjoy the long and anxiously looktel for repose, which seemed by the blessings of a kind Pso t.nesica so prosperoo , ly to open upon us, and to present to our esi.aes.ed eta .urc :s a 1.11 of pis-nty—peace, at length presented to no a nr4e of liaplicess and content —when tbil one, this fatal measure of our L. gislature shut out trout us the dearest of those '• blewngs, in a moment blasted Owss kind promises or a prosper spring,-deettated our fairest pi oseects, and at once annihi. laced Loot our c.n.fe!ettee and nor hopee,—this measure restrict ing It: impetration of Corn, under pretence of protecting the bruic r, the :.rower of c..rn, imposes the greatest dif fi culties upon every class or people ( :cry a morren. ary relief and advantage to the great landowner) l y depnving them of one of the first and greatest bl-ssings of a peace, cheap bread, and a consequent re duction in the price tit every other necessary article of life.

" May it please your Royal Htghuess, - - - 4 ' We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, of the City of 1-on Jan, in Common Council assembled, most humbly approach your Royal Highness, with no less grief than astonishment s at the late pro ceedings in parliament relative to a Bill for layin g further restric• tious on the importation of Corn. " We have seen that notwithstanding the voice of the mown, has been constitutionally and must decidedly declared against that measure by Petitions, which in point of number, and the numb'sr and respectability oh the signatures thereto, have pdt been treeeiled in die history of these realms, the Houtz ut Com mons has passed the said Bill, and that he proceedings tbeteon have been marked with &precipitancy and pertinacious adherence to the most obnazious features thereof, which plainly evinces an utter disregard of public ftwlittg, and pi** public upiulpii organ it ought to be. " We have observed In the tAIT House of Parliament the same precipitancy and the same determination to resist further inquiry or to hear evidence, notwithstanding a Committee of that Right Honourable House bad stated in their Report during the last S. salon, that the investigation was not co lute, and that turzher enqu ry would be necessary before any alteration Souk Owe in the laws affecting the ioteres4s of tbe growers .ind con s timers of cora. " We have observed the Miuletert of the Crown, with the sant d:..regard ut the general voice of the gauntry, and whose espec al duty it was to watch over the interests, not merely of the landowners, but of the community at large, ':td the sanctum of their authority to the support of a measure, witch, in us ope ration, cannot fail or proving most seriously injurious to the tits . uutacie ing and commercial interests of the km,:doin, in a very high degree opy;essive to the poer t and dauterous to the tran quilitty alai safety ui the Empire. " bat thus deprived' of that protection which we might reasoeattly have expected from the Representatives of the people, and the hereditary Legislatoriof the country, we are compeiled humbly to lay our complaints before your Rcyal Highness, as the only constair Mal resource we have now rentalnin ; ;. 'Ye beg most earnestly to impress upon your Royal High ! nt..., t....t the two Houses of Parliament Hein; cont;iused of landed pruptletors, that having exantined such yersuns wily as wee: land agehts, and ntieriv.,e connected wish land, and'hav ! tug instituted no inquiry mos the truth of tite'allegatious el the numerous Petitions agllll,r thr said Bill, or any witnesses hav ing been examined on diva' behalf, appears most partial and tin just, and highly irritating to the ieelings of those Classes who love suffeted such privations, and made such unexampled sa trifices. " That during a period of unexampled difficulty and excessive deaniess of every ankle of consumption, your Royal' Highness cannot but have perceived that the war, which was the occasion of distress to the industrious and !abortions classes of the people, ! has, by causing a progreisive rise in the rent of land, been a source of emolument to tho boded proprietors. • ssThat it is ' 'theretere, With concern and disg p ointment we Noy observed, = that *at a menu when the le Were aatiously expecting the blessings of peace', a dintinutiou of their out dens, and the cheapness of local--the landowners, hut content with dui advantages they had' thus derived —not Content with having escaped chose and utisfOrttuies which liati *involved thousands of other classes of the community iii 11112:•••00t con tent with being relieved front the Property Tax—have sought, by the said Bill, to _protect ;ink property from dial* changes and fluctuations to which all other property is liable, and to se cure to themselves, Jo tittle of peace, e coutinuatici . of those benefits Which hay% arisen grit of tint war ansVdisteess of the times. " Your Royal Highness most be dolt onsible that this ?DWI• try his risen tq Its pre-retina* rank erelong Wilms by its many factures and commerce; it is by . that it bas acquired its wealth, Which has raised and supported yes navy, and promoted the great seas and glory oldie *nub Umpire. " 'That by the tespioitemenni in the various branches of ma. nufactures in 'other 'ciiuntries and by the ititruChictiou of ma chinery, we have already fervitideble competition to encouuter ; and that this measure, by implies up the price of food, Will cause the emigration id Our mainitactursn sod citizens, and Lead to naiades. the skill, industry, :ilia capital of this kingdom to oilier nations.

Alderman C, SMITH rose, for the pqrpose of submitting to the eight Honourable Gentleman the expediency of postponing the third reading of this Bill to a future period, if not of withdrawing it alto gether. For his own part he had no objection to the Bill, but in a political point of view he thought it was likely to prove more injurious than beneficial to the revenue of the counpy linked he could not help thinking that the Property Tax, with all its defectq, would have been preferable to many of the new taxes which had been introduced by the Right Honourable Gent/man. By imposing an additional and heavy duty on foreign wine, the inevitable con sequence would be a diminution of the consumption, and of course a reduction in the produce of revenue to the Excise;—added to this, the deni.snd for Bri tish manufactures in Portugal wou1;1 be proportion ally decre.ued. Under 411 the circumstances, he did hope that the Right Honourable Gentleman would at least see ti:e policy of taking the subject into more mature consideration, before he pushed the Bill through its list stage.—(Hear, hear). The CHANCELLOR of the k....XCHEQUER had no wish to herrythis measure precipitately through the House, and should therefore, at the suggestion of the Worthy Alderman, postpone the third read ing of the Bill to Monday se'nnight. He thought it proper to observe, however. waft reference to the demand which Portugal bad upon this country, that it even intended to protect her monopoly of the Wine Trade, by a heavy duty on sweet wines. The Bill was then ordered to be read a third time on Monday se'onight. LORD FOCH RARE ! 141', GEORGE ROSE brought up the Report of the Committee of Privileges appointed to examine into the circumstances attending the arrest of Lord Cochrane. 'the Report was read front the Chair. 4 was in • effect as follows Is The tommittee having read the setter of the Marshal of the King's Beach Prison relative to the arrest of Lord Cochrane, proceeded to inquire into the circumstances which preceded that event. They fopitd that 4oid CoCiwane was indicted and convicted of conspiracy on the 21st of June, 1814, in the ,Court of King's . Bends; that he was sentenced to twelep winnthe iniprisonmcnt in the prison of that Cot" fad that the period of his punishment does not terminzte:till the 2lst . of June, Isl 4. 'Chat as Ear as they ltaYe been able to discover they do not 4nd that any paid= or remission cif the said punish. meat finti been granted to Lord Cochrane ;. that be tween the sth and 10th inst. Lord Cochrane escaped from the custody of the Manhal pf the King's Bench Prison, and remained at large till the 21st of the present month. That on the day last mentioned he proceeded to the Clerk's room, for registering the Return of Members, in order that his name might be entered; that he was there told it was necessity for him to produce the certificate of his return, and that he sent a Messenger to the Crown Office, in order to procure the said certificate. That he, in the mean time, wept into the body of the House, and seated himself on the bench ot the tiivy Connsellors, on the right of the Speaker's 'chair, no Member being then present, and 'prayers not having been read. 'rhat some time afterwards the Maishaa of the King's Bench arrived, and took hint . into custody, notwiin., standing his pleading that he yfas returned 4 l i VieltilleT to serve in that House, and conducted hint hack to the King's Bench Prison, where he still remains. That trom the Return in thetrown Office, it appears the said Lord CoChrane was rettuntd on the IGth of July, to serve in *'arliameut as a Citizen ot West minster. That the Committee having taken all these facts into consideration, and having considered whe ther there was any breach of privilege, there being no precedent by which their judgment could be guided, were of opinion, under the particular cir cumstances of the Cale, that it did not appear that there were any privileges of the House violated, so as-to call for any proceedings o f that liouse against die Martha! of the Ring's tench.', Qs the motion ot the Cititzteu.nit of the Ex. l eliatuato the said gepon was ordered to be printed. . • IXICNTIONS ON YARNING STOCK. 4 • ,LOCKHART rote, in pursuance of his no- I 4 .• • • tlee, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to com et some practices which be was sure the Home would agree with him in believing were extremely injurious, They were these—when a Sheriff, under the existing laws, took farming stock in execution, he no t o e, that mArrn t sold the live stock and utensils, but he also sold c, t , straw of corn which was not thrashed, the grow ic „ crops, and the manure. This proceedir.g it w.;i hardly necessary to state was attended with im i nuc , inconveniences, and reqeired alteration. The object of the Bill he intended to bring in, with the leave nt manure,covenar. t should tml the House, therefore would be, where, unle- lease or written contracts, particular cover.anb were ea. of application suc or i be removed ; and further, that some of the bui'din k i tered into prepared in f r p t u h r e s pursuance on the farm should be allowed to the purchase's ( ,1 stock, fir a reasonable tune to thrash such whe it a. they might buy, in order that the straw might be ar. plied as required.
