He had given the fullest con sideration to the measure likely to be brought before the House; be had, from his veneration for the Noble Duke at the head of his Maiesty'CGoverntoent, give, it the most favourable consideration, and he could not conceal his conviction that it was a measure cal. adatid to kad to the annihilation of British agricuitUre.

When, • io addition co the manifold perils and dangers of the Seat, the property of British merchants was exposed to . piratical predfs_, 6ppf by the armed force of Govern ments with w hom oo wens in relations of amity, and with the sanction or connivance of those Governments, is it appeared oo the, face of some transactions which bad taken place; the ease was one which required the • most prompt aid efficacious interference on the part of this coosury. Earl DUDLEY said, that no transactions of the na ture alluded - to by the Noble Lord had taken place, at least up to the date of the latest intelligence received by GOvintiment. The Noble Earl would take this oppor- 'twit, of saying, that by the .last accoupts they were . *formed that uegociations for the restoration of peace between Brasil and BuenosAyres were in progress. and - with a happier prospect of a successful terminattouthan lit any former period. • ... , • • • •.

These were his feel tigs - to s ards the Noble Duke, although perhaps he did -not entertain the' same sentiments towards all his Co!leagues. He trusted the Noble Duke would be en.; abled t state that effectual means had been emplOyed to prevent the repetition of such an outrage, and to re store the unfortunate objects of it to freedom.

Mr. CURTEIS moved for Returns of Money laid out in various ways upon the Penitentiary, and the Number of Prisoners con fined therein. • _ _ Sir JOSEPH YORKE thought the motion unneces sary, because the returns` were annually made. If that building were to be placed under the contra'sl of the Secretary of State,•ie would, he thought, be differently conducted from the manner in which tit was managed by the Committee. • Sir M. W. RIDLEY felt it necessary to meet this motion with a direct netativre. The information was already in •arious'shapes before the Hause,if te would only take the trouble to find it. This was . one of th e cases which he had tried to put a step to, as tendik to throw an estreme and unnecessary onus on the s officers of the different establi,hments. M r.H EATH COTE hoped that Hon. Metaher,t Would pause before they could permit these tinnecessarY Re tuns to be made; and he hoped the Hon. Baronet would divide the House upon it. Lord LOWTHER said, that if it went to a divisiort,, he must give his vote for the motion of the Honnor.ble M mber for Sussex. If the information was before the House, he for one could not find it. The building had cost between five and six hundred thousand pounds and there was, besides, an annual grab' of 24,0001. He thought it would have been much the twisersourne, to have accepted t' e offer of the Middlesex Magistrate's. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR said, he knew of Op such offer, though he' bad heard an intimatiOd that it was wished to have it as a new gaol for Westminster. He hga jetted to the Penitentiary, as being unwholesome, and be would not consent to any further cost. • Mr. HOBHOUSE agreed with the Noble Lorcr(Liow. ther), that thel'enitentiai y was a most useless charge. There was no Instance whatever in which any building cost so much,.and was of so little utility. It was, in fact,- prejudicial to the very objects it was meant to promote. The best thing they could do would be to accept the offer of the Magistrates, .and thus put an end to the expenses of that establishment. Mr. BYNG said, that no offer whatever bad been made. . Mr. WM. PEEL said. that all the information.re quired was already in print before the House. Mr. PORTAMS suggested to the'Hon. Member for Sussex the propriety of withdrawing his motion for the present, and of giving notice of it for another night. and in.tbe interim he might ascertain the extent of • the in formation before the House. Mr. Secretary PEEL thought the Hon. Member. for Susses had better withchaw his motion. tor. the present, las thereby he would enable himself to be better pre pared as to the Returns which were actually olecestry to be produied. He berteved the greatr part s . Coot the whole information sought hi the Host. Member.eras already before the House. u • • After a few words'froin Mr. Canso, the Motion "Width; drawn. Mr. H.

'h. Amendment was negatived without a division. Mr. C. PALMER proposed a clause on the principle of.reciprocity, similar to that contained in the Bill of last'year. ' Mr. F. LEWIS said, he did not think there could be any objection to the clause. The Clause was agreed to. Mr. WILSON proposed a clause, the object of which was tn. provide that, with respect to warehoused corn, security should be given for tie payment of. the duty within a given time, or otherwise the corn be re exported. .. Mr. CURTEIS seconded the proposition, and ex pressed some apprehension that foreign • corn • would find its way here throneh the Isle et Man. Colonel SIBTHORPE expressed his cordial 'ap probation of this clause. It would, if agreed to, allay the alarm which had spread through the country. Mr. F. LEWIS said there was no ground for the ap prehensions expressed by the Member for Sussex with respect to the Isle of Man. The provisions of the Bill would pievent effectually all the evil apprehended with respect to the clause proposed—it would completely I upset the system of bonding and, warehousing. No per eon would venture to import; trim undeesuch a regale. tion. They had been acting since 1815 on a. highly restrictive system, which was mitigated only by such a ow .s this. If they gave up .the bonding systenalere, it , would soon be had recourse to in Holland. He trusted the House would hot, at this stage of the measure, admit 'such a clause. Mr. SYKES opposed the 'clause. 'The consequence of adopting' it' must be, that the system of warehousing ticked be taken up in,ihe adjacent parts of the Conti nent, and corn pouted in at times so abundantly as to produce the most injurious consequences. He thought this Bill far too restrictive for the consumers of corn. Mr. WODEHOUSE said, such a clause as this should not be gone into in the present stage of the Bill. He hoped, therefore, the clause would be withdrawn. He feared any good the Bill was calculated to.. produce would be defeated by the restrictions on the currency. . Mr. Alderman SMITH opposed the clause. . • . Mr. BENETT denied that the object of the Bill wasi to raise the price to consumers. It was intended totive a fair remuneration to the agriculturist, and thus' to 'careen adequate apply of_ home produce. He denied that public grating's were a necessary sectiriey„against faMine... The best granaries 'were the farmers '.stack; yards. He hoped the Honourable Gentlemin would withdraw thiclause. - -.•- i - - 'Mr. WILSCiIsI said; his object waslo guard •against great monopolists. As the sense of. the House did. not seem to go with him. he should 'not press the clause. The clause was withdeawri, and the Bill read a . . third time. On she question that the Bin do pass, Mr. BANKES said there.was an error in the relative price of.the different grains, in ieferen,ce to which the present du iea were imposed. He mentioned this for, the purpose, of -reserving to himself the right lel" pro-. posing an alteration at some future time, it he should' think it neeiaary. . . . ., , .114r....F.:'bENVIS said the duty was calculated, not ii reference terliseprices•Of the last five years, Out 9f al Tonger period. .. , . .

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the Or der of the Day for rosuiiiing the'adjourtted debate on theAramps AlloWatices- Bill. • Mr. STEWART proposed a new clause, which went to remit' the remuneration for 'distributing Stamps.to 2 1 1. per cent. in place of 41. This he thought sufficient, where the agents for negotiating bills of exchange re.' ceived air IL per tent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, be had nothing to add to what he Stated in a former debate. This was merely a remedial measure, to ob viate inconveniences which were found to •arise froth ,the present mode of distributing Receipt Stamps. Hi. did not . mean to deny thet the Honourable Gentleman's . view was correct; but the Isteserit was not thetime tof pressing it on the attention of the 'House.' ThelwhOle Subject of the Stamp . Dtities was now under the consi deratiop of Parliament. . Mr. SYKES thought it unreasonable four per cent. ' should be paid for the distribution of Stamps, when, according to the showing of. Mr. Gresley himself, he gut the business done at one and a half per"cent. thus leaving bite k dear income of 7001. a year. . . Mr. HUME supported the clause. • Mr: DAWSON said that the present'Wes riot' a fit time. for proposing such a clause as this. It vs. bestei to leave the matter to Government, pa rticularly when they wereassured by his Right Honourable Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) that the whole system was under consideration. Since the year 1820; out,,Of a revenue amounting to 7,000,0001. yearly, no more 25,0001. was unaccounted for. This pitived suf ficiently that the present mode of distribution was not a bad one. In Yorkshire. at present, Stamps Were dis tributed at two and a half per cent. . . . Colonel DAvlxs and Mr. Duncostan recommended that the clause should be withdrawn. After a few words from Mi.WlcauwandMr.MotsCit the clause was negatived without a division. I. Mr. HUME recommended that greater facility should be allowed • for the return of 'spoiled•Stanips, and the necessity of taking an oath doneaviny..with....*.

Colonel DAVIES moved the -Order of the Day for taking into further•cortsideratioti the Report of Cities and Boroughs Poll Ikg, Colonel•SI BTHORPE and Mr. F. PA 1.31 ER opposed the Bill. Colonel DAVIES supported the BIM. - • Mr. SIX D EN objected to it as likely to curtail the franchise e t the peopltof England. Mr. OATLEY considered that this Bill would prevent riot and drunkenriiisky curtailing the period for elections, and therefore it had hie w,armest support. Mr. skIONCK said, that the less expensive 'ilections weed made;the larger would be the field of choice fur candidates, and therefore the better for the people of England. Mr. O'NEILL opposed the Bill, because he thought that tfie limitatiorf of taking the poll to six or eight days would tend to pre- Vent many voters from bring able to exercise their franchise, pant ticularly in distant places. Mr. ROBINSON said, he thought the Bill better in its present 1 1 s h a p e than it had been before, but still the period allowed for taking the poll was too limited. Mr. FYLlift approved of shortening the period for taking the poll. Mt. TR ANT said, be would oppose the Bill, and moved th a t tbefurtber consideration of the Report be adjourned to this day six months. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the gallery s sa , cleared, but no division took place. The Report was agreed to, a n d the Bill Was ordered to be read a third time after the holidays.

Mr. BENETT said he would not oppose the second reading e f 'the Hill, but he hoped ample time would be given lot the dearidera. tion of so inilsortant a subject. , Mr. SLANEY said his great object was to remedy some of the abuses of the Poor Laws ; be now wished the Bill to be read a 'Second time, with a view at as early period to bring the subj e c t under the notice and examination of a Select Committee.
