FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, Dic. 5. —......- [PIuIOE SEVENPENCE. (This Gazette announces that the King had appointed Alexander Irving, Esq. Advocate, to be one of the Lords of Session in Scot land, in the room of William Robinson, Esq. resigned.—Also, that the Rev. Andrew Bell had been presented by the King to the Church and Parish of Linlithgow, void by the death of the Rev.

The clauses chiefly objected to)aad been introduced with a view to shield small dealers bona the expense of eickanging tht measures now in their possession for Dew ones. Mr. CALCRAFT hsd received several applications from parties deshouri of petitioning fur the repeal of the Act, but when they discnyered that it contained these tiptional n!auses, they no longer cared .anything about it. The farmers generally of the county with which he was connected, complained of having to sett by as lsrger measure, as they had not been able to obtain prices in propnnion. If it should he proposed to render the use of the new measures compulsory,. petitions would come from all parts of the country not only against that proposal, but bar the repeal of the Act. There bad been many meetings in the county to which he belonged, in which conflicting patties had strut. gled for and against the change. Mr. ,IONCK said, that farmers generally were averse to the law; but he thought that it ought either to be made compulsory oir to be repealed altogether. Mr. WARBURTON observed, that the Act left the measures of length and breadth untouched, and only interfered with measures of capacity. As to the complaints of she fanners, be thought they did not apply. It had fallen to kis lot to be a purchaser of lime, and the little merchants had taken we to charge more on account of the encreased measure, and be did not know why farmers should not do the same. - - - Jan. 2, John Read, Regent's street, linemlraper, at ten.

Lord SEA rota was introduced and took the oaths and hisseat. His Lordship's supporters were Lord HOWARD Da WALDIX; and Lord WHA MiCLIIITIL On the fluxion of the Earl of Suarrassurr, it was ordered that no Petitions for Private Bilis, be received after Tuesday, the 21st of March ; and no Reports from the •Judgots after Thursday, the 26th of April. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a Petition from the Weavers of Glasgow, against the Corn Laws.—Read, and laid on the table. An Officer from the Court of Chancery in Ireland, presented Papers relating to judicial proceedings before the Housc.—M half-past Four o'Cloal their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS The Farl of Bacrwis and two other Members took the oaths at the table. A Petition was presented, complaining of an undue Election for the County of Kerry, and ordered to be taken into consideration on the loth of January.—A similar Petition for the City and 80. rough of Wells was presented, and ordered to be taken into consL deratlon on the 17th of January nett.—Two Petitions for the Borough of Mallow, on the 19th of January.—A Petition for the County of Limerick, 7th of January ; for the Borough of Ludlow, 17th of January; for Kingston-upon-Hull, 18th of January; foe the Borough of Camelfsrd, 18th of January; for the Borough of &ockbridge, 18th of,ianuary. Mr. PrIACQUEEN presented a Petition, praying that a full le. vestigation might take place, previous to any change of the Corn Laws, which he introduced by some observations on the import ance of those laws 'to the welfare of Ireland, dependent, as that country was, upon hr agriculture. The Petition was from certain Individuals in Ireland. Laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Lord BINGHAM, in bringing before the House the Petition with which be had been entrusted from certain Parishes in the County of Mayo, praying that the Catholics of Ireland might be relieved from the disabilities under which they laboured, took oc casion to lament the intemperance of some of those wh'b professed to be their advocates, an intemperance, which, however natural, considering how long they had been oppressed, and how much dis appointed, must be lamented by every friend to their cause, and must give proportionate courage to their enemies, who were with out any other ground of opposition. Highly as be disapproved of the conduct of a wavering Ministry, which would not consider Ca tholic Emancipation as a Cabinet measure, still he would not pledge himself to any set of men, whether Ministers or Opposition, but would view all measures impartially, and vote upon them accord ing to his conscience, from whichever side of the House they might proceed.—The Petition from the United Parisbei of Kilcommon and Duckbill, in the County of Mayo, was then read, and ordered to lie upon the table. WEIGHTS ♦ND MEASURES. Mr. WARBURTON, in rising to move for some Returns to shew the effect of the law for the alteration of Weights and Measures, would take the opportunity of pointing out what appeared to him to be great im perfections in the Act of Parliament. One imperfection was, that the to elch clause of the Act which directed counties to procure the proper standards, did not ex tend that direction to Cities and Boroughs being coun ties within themselves, and governed by Magistrates of local jurisdiction. Another imperfection was, that by the 14th and 15th clauses of the Act, it was left op. tional with the buyers and sellers whether they would employ the new measures or the old ones. In many in stances, the old measures being merely local, and al.ffcr ing widely in different districts of the kingdom. The Act only required that the proportion the old measure bears to the new shall be marked. He had been informed by measure makers, that when these clauses came to the knowledge of the public, large orders which they had previously received for new measures had been coon tormanded. He thought it highly desirable that the provisions of the Act should be made obligator y and universal. He concluded by moving that there be laid before the House a return from the Chamberlain of the Exchequer, of the Counties, Boroughs, and Corporation Towns in England, Ireland, and Scotland, which had procured copies or models of the new .standards of weights and measures, compared and verified with those in the Exchequer. Sir G. CLERK had no objection to the Motion. He thought the information it sought very proper to be I.id before the House. The imperfections alluded to had regard rather to the mode of operation than to the principle of the 'measure. Experience might ill MR A TIO/47. Lord A. HA MILTON said, that previous to present. ing the Petition he held in his hand, it was his painful duty to advert to the state of destitution and misery to which the labouring population of Scotland, and parti cularly of the County he represented, were reduced, from the want of employment. Ho knew it to be a fact, that men who worked 14 boors a day could earn °nil , 61. and in some instances only ss. or 4s. 6d. a week, which was not sufficient to procure food,without leaving any thing to provide them with raiment. He entreated the House to reflect what must be the situation of men who heard their families crying for bread, and who were themselves in a state of destitution, and how ago. nizing to the feelings of respectable parents to be with out the means to rear up their offspring in virtuous principles. Then what did they ask? Their prayer made good every one of his assertions. They did not ask for charity—they asked for what was usually the punishment of crime—they asked for the means of Emigration. Thii was the nature of their application— they asked for leave to Emigriee. His notice would be for an inquiry. An understanding he knew prevailed, that all business was to be postponed till after the holi day's, but he could not reconcile it to himself to put off for two months the consideration of this urgent distress. With regard to the subject of Emigration, he hoped he should hear from some Member of his Majesty's Go vernment what their plan was. He had understood that the views of Government were favourable to the object of the Pe. titioners. It was manifest to every one that the case was daily grqzhig worse. There was one other topic to which he would adfirt before be sat down—that of the large number of Irish who emigrate to the West of Scotland. He did not wish to circumscribe she right of Irishmen, but it was evident, that if the wave of End. gration rolled from Ireland, it must, in proportion to its magnitude and strength, drive Scotchmen into England. It was necessary, -thetefore, in considering the subject of Emigration, to go to the fountain head. The Petition he bad to present, as it prayed foe assistance to enable the Petitioners to Emigrate, required the con. sent of the Crown,whicb he was persuaded would not be withheld. Mr. Secretary PEEL rose and said, that it was im possible not to feel that the Noble Lord had brought forward a case entitled to the warmest sympathy arid the most attentive consideration. He dii feel that there was no part of the Unied Kingdom in which the distress from want of employment had been more severe, and he must also say, that there wax none where the working classes were more respectable, or w here they had been more patient and exemplary under their suf ferings. He could assure the Noble Lard that the situ ation of the Petitioners had engaged the attention of Government, and that not a single week had elapsed since thd dissolution of Parliament in which he had not been in correspondence with that part of the country upon the subject. The Petitions the Noble Lord in tended to present, called for a grant of public money, but as it might be questioned whether the purpose for which it was asked was a private or a public one, he did not know whether the consent of the Crown was ' necessary to its being received. He would not how. ever withhold that consent, although he at the same time begged to guard himself from encouraging any hopes the Petitioners might entertain. Tt,e subject of emigration was an important ore, and one which could not be satisfactorily discussed, on the pre.entati n of a Petition. A Committee had sat lait Session u, 01 the subject and had presented a Report,which cnneuded with a recommendatitm that another Committee should be ap pointed, and as before May no emigration could take place, he thought the further consideration of the subject had better be postponed. So far from opposing further enquiry, he hoped his Hon. Friend would after the bon: days move for the appointment-of a Committee. He must beg leave particularly to caution these indivi duals not to hope for any great relief from emigration. No measure could require greater caution than an ex. ttnaive emigration. To send out twenty th , °sand persons to Upper Canada without full preparati n, would be productive of the greatest misery and confusion..— The employment to which they must be devoted was agricultural, and milieu they had been in some degree accustomed to this, assisting them to emigrate would only he to aggravate their distress. A most discriminating principle in the selection of indM. duals was necessary to the success of any scheme of emigratit.n.-.- Habits, age, and many other circumstances ought to be attended to. He had thought it his duty in consenting to the reception of this Petition to make ,these observations, in order that nu fal.e hopes might be excited, and that the parties might not be diverted from their present pursuits of regular and habitual industry. The Petition from the Manufacturers of several pal ashes in Scot. land, stating their distress, and praying that meals of emigration might be granted them, was then read, ordered to lie upon the table and to be printed. Mr. R. MARTIN bad two Petitions to present from the lobe. blunts of the united parishes of Kilcommon and Killarny, in the county of Galway,praying ibr the removal of Catholic , lisabilities. One of them was the Petition of the Catholic and the etivr that of the Protestant inhabitants. The former was signed by 1500 per sons, the: latter by the whole of the Protestant h,h ibisat t., amount ing to the number of eleven. The Catholic Petitioners di d not com plain that they were compelled to maintain a Protestant rive t f worship for the use of their eleven Protestant fellow Petitiorms although a Church had been built, which cost 1,2001. but they did complain, and he complained for them, that they were not pet mitted to tax themselves for the building of a Roman Catholic ChapeL The Hon. Member displayed the Catholic Petition ha bringing it up, and observed that it was almost as voluminous, as that presented against himself yesterday.—The Petitions were thcn read, and ordered to lie on the table. gr.
