It was in., by the general stagnation of trade, by the diminution of rent to the landlord and of pat to the tenant, and by the want of em ployment for the labour r in e games. This was a state of things which could not be too ne atly impressed on his klajesty s Ministers. Taxation p heavily upon all classes of his Ma. jesty's subjects, especially on the working classes.

SIFIIPPING INTERMITS. Earl STANHOPE then presentedTisetition of a similar ten dency front the ship-owners of Hull. The Noble Earl said, " per ceiving the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Governtnent In his place, I wish to take this opport u nity of asking whether there will be any objection on the part of Government to the ap pointment of a Select Committee to consider the state of the ship. ping interest." The Duke of WELLINGTON (after presenting a petition from Southampton, against !the punishment of death in certain crimes; and another from a parish in Oxfordshire against paying wages by goods instead of money) said, that the regular course would be for the noble earl to give notice of a motion, if he in tended to bring one forward on the subject, and was understood to ingoirs whether the noble earl intendtd to submit a motion fur the consideration of the house. Earl STANHOPE signified an intention in the affirmative. The Duke of WELLINGTON observed that the noble earl had not stated any grounds for such a course being taken, but if be brought the subject forward, he (the Duke of Wellington) would then give his opinion. Earl STANHOPL admitted that the regular course undoubtedly was to give notice of such a moti4n, but the noble duke knew that the present was not the first occasion the complaints of the injury done to the shipping interests had been brought under the consi deration of this house--(hear, hear, from the Duke of Welling. ton)the subject of complaint, therefore, was not a new one to him. The noble earl then made a few observations respecting what had been supposed to have fallen from the noble duke, on a former oc casion, with regard to low freights, and concluded with stating that, on a future day, it was his intention to give notice of a no. don on the subject of the shipping interests. The Duke of IVELLINGTON said what he had asserted with respect to the shipping interests was. that It would be very difil. cult to adopt a measure to increase their profits, without proving injurious to commerce. The conversation then dropped. TERCeIaA. The Marquis of CLANRICA RUE gave notice that on Tuesday, the 23d instant, he should submit a motion to their Lordships re specting the affair at Taceira last year. The Noble Marquis prey sented a petition from a parish in Ireland, against Coal Duties. The Mailpilt of BUTE presented a Petition front Greenock (we believe) against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter. COAL TRADE. The Moguls of LONDONDh.RRY, when presenting a yeti. Lion front the coal-whippers of the port of London, respecting the coal trade, said that the frauds which had been carried on in the coal trade had greatly increased the price of that article, and that considerable elucidation on those points had taken plate. in cul -1 sequence of the investigation of the Select Committee, which he was persuaded would be attended with beneficial results to the community. The Noble Marquis then presented a petition from Belfast,aying for an alteration of the Subletting Act. Earl BEAUCHAMP presented a petition from the Grand Jury of Worcester, complaining tithe distressed state of the country. LORD ELLZNIOROUOU'S DIVORCE RILL. • The Earl of ROSSLYN said that it was his intention to have then moved the third reading of the Bill t but understanding that a Noble Lord was desirous of having the evidence printed, befote the Bill was read a third time, to which there was not the slightest objection, he (the Earl of Rosalyn) should now move that the evi dence be printed, and on Wednesday next, be should propose the third reading. The Earl of RADNOR observed that he was the person alluded to as wishing to have the evidence printed, a course of proceeding which ought to be adopted. The motion fur printing the evidence was then put by the LORD CHANCELLOR, and carried. The Marquis of L INSDOIVNE presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce at Bristol, against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter.—Ref a r a to the Committee. DISTRESS 1)1 SCOTLAND.
