Mr. WESTERN presented a Petition from Ocettpleri of Lard in the County of Essex, praying the attention of the House to their distresses, as arising partially from the operation of the late Duty on Malt, which had deprived them of the advantages thepja rtd oped to derive from the reduction of rents last year.— Refto the Committee op the state of Agricukure. Mt. DOUGLAS presented a Petition from Montrose, for the repeal of the Duty on Foreign Wool.—Laid on the table. Mr. DUGDALE presented a Petition from the Chamber of of Birmingham, in which the Petitioners stated their conviction that the general distress of the country was to be lat tributed to the various restrictions that were placed on Com merce. They likewise expressed their alarm at the demand on the part of the Agriculturists for an increase of the protecting duties against the importation of Foreign Corn. They prayed that the House would resist every proposition having for its object the increase of the Protecting Duties on Grain, and that a Committee should be appointed, for the purpose of revising the state of the trade of the country, with a view to the removal of all restrictions.—Laid on the table.

The Honour able Member, believing that this was a safe and practicable mode of Reform, said it was his intention to move for a Bill to extend the right of voting for Members for Yorkshire to the Freeholders of Kingston, or to propose in the Committee on the Grampound Disfranchisement Bill, a Clause to the effect prayed for by the Petitioners, in case it should be determiner: upon to transfer the franchis e to that part of the country.—The Petition was laid on the table. The same Honourable Gentleman presented a Petition from an individual Freeholder of the same town, praying that he might be permitted to vote for Members to serve for Yorkshire. —Laid on the table.

Lord HOLLAND, after a very few words, observed, that he held in his hand p Petition to their Lordships, signed by one individual, Mr. William Cobbett. It was not his intention, however, to found any proceeding upon the Petition, which was drawn up in a regular and formal manner. Ile then presented the Petition, and moved that it be read. The Petition was then read by the Clerk : it was of consi derable length, and to substance was nearly as follows : That the Petitioner, William Cobbett, of Bottley, in the County of Hants, feeling that in all civilized communities the protection of the laws should be extended to all the members th• reof ; that the imperfections which prevailed in all human in stitutions rendered the laws inadequate to give that protection for which in all fairness and justice they should 'be calculated, and that sometimes the defects obviously lay in the Laws them selves ; that in consequence of such defects, the Petitioner suf fered great hardships and severity, especially under the provi sions of an Act passed respecting payments in cash; that the Petitioner, in the year 1805, had purchased an estate for the sum of thirty thousand pounds; that some time after, being con strained by unfavourable circumstances, he borrowed a sum of money on mortgage on this property ; that being subsequently ;usable, from circumstances beyond his expectation or controul, to make goneLsome 'of the payments connected with his pur chase or mortgage, he had, in consequence, received a note from the Executor of the mortgagees, threateniri: an immediate fore closure, a. 14 respecting which some steps were taken. Under these circumstances the Petitioner, after expressing his regret at being compelled to press upon their time, implored the protec tion of their Lordships ; and though it may be the cast of thou sands, he hoped the House would permit him to state the grounds upon which he solicited relief. That since the period when the purchase or the mortgage took place, such a rise or variation occurred in the value of property, or of the circulating medium of the country, as most materially to alter or change the value, of property relatively to what it was when the purchase was made. This the Petitioner instanced among other references, by the variation in the prices of wheat in the course of ale years, from 104 s. to 745. per quarter. Some other instances of the va riation in the value of property were also adduced in the Peti tion ; all which allegations l'etitioner averred were substan tially true. That in consequence of these circumstances and conside.uions, the Petitioner was menaced with total ruin, so much was he injured by the injurious effect of these legislative regulations to which he referred, and which not only tended to change the value, but the nature of property. The Petitioner went on to adduce further reasons why, in his estimation, those fluctuations in the value of property, Desalting from such a de parture from the old established circulating medium of the country, must prove highly injurious, and eventually destruc tive ; and concluded by praying their Lordships to take these important points into their serious consideration, &c. On the motion of Lord HOLLAND, the Petition was or dered to lie on the table, and the House adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Limits, the new Member for Carlisle, took the oaths and his seat. Mr. COKE presented I Petition from William Cobbett, of Bottley.--[nde Lards.)--Ordered to be printed. Sir P. KNATCHBULL brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Galway (town) Election, declaring W. Prender gast, Esq. the sitting Member, to have been duly elected, and that it did not appear that the Petition againt the return Was either frivolous or vexatious. _ _ _ Mr. WESTERN presented a Petition, signed by eighty-one of the most active and respectable Magistrates of the County of DUTIES ON TINIER. General GASCOYNE presented a Petition from a number of Merchants and Ship-owners of Liverpool, praying that n 0 alteration might be made in the Du ties affecting the Importation of Timber, in favoir of foreign Powers. They stated the advantages which Great Britain and her Colonies conferred upon each other by the former having excluded the importation of timber from the North of Europe. If the trade in timber, which we now carried on with our own Co lonies in North America, were transferred to the Baltic countries; the consequence would be a great reduction in the amount of our exported manufac tures. The countries in the Mk would not take our manufactures in exchange for their timber to half the extent that the Colonies of North America did. In addition to the other ill effects of transferring the trade to the Baltic r we should- considerably dimi nish the employment of the, emigrants in North America, most of whom found a source of industry in the cutting down of timber. Sir ISAAC COFFIN stated, that there was scarcely an emigrant employed in the cutting down of tim ber in North America.—Laid on the table. Mr. MARRYATT presented a Petition from the Ship-builders of the Port of London, against any al terati.,n of the Duties on Timber. They stated, as a proof of the decaying condition of their trade, that they had, until a recent period, kept ten thousand men in employment, Lut that now they had not em ployment for one-third of that number. They ex pressed themselves favourable to the protection given to the produce of our own colonies, considering the' duties on Baltic timber well calculated to secure that monopoly to our trade, which we should carefully promote.—Laid on the table. Mr. WILSON presented a Petition from the Ship owners of the Port of London, to the same effect as the former. The intention of taking off the protect ing duties on Baltic timber he understood arose from the policy of conciliating the Northern Powers. But he believed that in consequence of the, liberty of the Press, and the free admission of Newspapers into the .Northern Countries, the Potentates of that part of the world were, by this time, acquainted with the extent of our National Debt, and the difficulty we labour under as to our resources ; and it, was impos sible that, knowing this, they could grudge the con tinuation of this tax on their 'exports. It was his firm conviction, that if the proposition for lowering the protecting duties were . carried into effect, it would annihilate our trade in timber with the North American Colonies. It might be shewn, perhaps, that the Baltic article was cheaper than that which was imported from North America; but he would contend, that the trade which ,employed so much of our shipping, must be, upon the whole, the most ad vantageous for the country. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS hoped the House would give every attention to the Petition of a most respect able set of men. He supported the Petition. Mr. MARRYATT said, he was a friend to the prayer of the Petition. He reminded the House of the deterioration of the value of ships within the last few years. Eve , -v hefty In use might• be cowl dered as having been built daring the war, and.c: n sequently built at th:- nigliest charge. He hin - .telf boat a 'snip in 1810, and purchased another—each of which cost £ll,OOO. The deterioration of the value might be stated at £4OOO, reducitn. , the amount to 1:10,000. He cceld assure the flcuse, however, that trey were not now calculated to belo . orth much more than bomo each.' On the close of the war, the Shipping Interest was held up by the opening of the private trade to bniia hy means of the new Char ter. • Another branch of profit to this &unary was the carrying trace to the Mediterranean.. Up to 1817, we enjoyed exclusively the pass 'of that important sea, all other flags either ris;king their carital * cr paying the was duties on their porcies. The war, however, which we • earrictd on w ith the Dey of Al giers, put an end to thi, monor4y, and terminated by placing ail the Tuner s of Europe on a lore' with us. The third branch of profit which we enjoyed,. was the carrying of timber from our Colonies; which • from 80,000 tons, increased last year to 3 ft:1 ) (V tons. The Hon. Member then adverting to the'Petib Lion of the Merchants of the City of London, recom mending a free trade, said, after some comments, that if that recommendation were carried into effect, it would involve the destruction of a great mass of thecountry. Every Power in Europe, having Colo. nies, adopted the policy of* hoposing protecting dti, ties in favour of the produce of those Colonies. Why then should the same policy be censured in us ? But it was strange that the Northern Powers should con- Ceive the protecting duties on timber to have been laid'-on the Baltic export of that article out of hosti lity to theirs. On the contrary, our giving a mono ; poly to the Colonies, was the result of their hos• :lity to 'us. When they had shut us out from all corm*. nication with them, we were compelled to lock for a resource in our Colonies, and in justice to these, at least, we should not now abandon them. After stating the great increase of the carr ying trade from North America, the Honourable Metnlier, in answer to an objection respecting the small num!.er cf em";zrants in that country, observed, that according to info ma tioa derived from his own correspond.o.ts," the tide of emigration from the United States of North Ame rica was now setting in. The great object of our corn munication 'with North itincricit was• not so much the article of timber itself, as the freight. A ship 'could only Make One voyage in the year between this and North America, whereas she could make several voyages in the year between this and the Baltic. Besides, it was - well known, that in the voya-e to the Baltic, more was paid for the timber, and less for the freight; but that in• a•voyage from North America, less was paid for the timber, but more for frieght. The effect of annihilating the trade with America, would be to throw 12COA los out of employ. The seamen, to the amount of 17,634., who navigated these vessels, no longer finding employment at home, would be compelled to transfer their services to foreign Powers. The price of home timber was now scarcely sufficient to remunerate the grower.— But if the Baltic timber were admitted, the come quence would be, a still farther deterioration of the home produce. He begged to remind the House, that there was equal justice in taking off the proteet- ing duty of corn, as in removing that of timber ; and he was well aware, that if the duty of the latter were repealed, it would be only a prelude to the removal of the importation duty on corn. He deprecated the impolicy of extending commercial concerns with fo reigners. The more a cduntry did so, the more she endangered her prosperity. The Americans were seeking to coerce us; bat, by keeping up our navy, we should be enabled to defy their power. Our motto,. Dieu et mon That, we should alwa} s adhere by, and never forget it to the last. He should now conclude, (A laugh), by recommending that this Petition be taken into the serious consideration cf the House. Mr. BARING observed, that, with the exception of the timber trade alone, the ship-owners would not be affected in their interests by the proposition which he intended to submit in reference to the subject of this Petition. He should not, however, now go into any particulars with regard to that branch of the Baltic trade, which would more properly come under con sideration when the proposition was laid before the House in its various details. The Hon. Member was proceeding to offer some other observations, wheat • The SPEAKER suggested, that it might not be expedient to prolong discussion on the present occa sion, as there were no less than seventeen Orders of the Day to be dispesedof, which were all of them im portant ; and as it was probable that some other Ho nourable Members_might be disposed to deliver their sentiments besides the Gentleman who was then ad dressing the Heuse. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR depreciated the novel prac tice which had crept into the House of protracting discussion in the presentation of Petitions. This practice was productive of much inconvenience, and, as a proof of it, he needel only observe, that not less than one hour and a half had 'been consumed in can vassing prematurely the matters to which the Pe tition related.—The Petition was then read, and or dered to lie on the table. - FOREIGN TRADE. Mr. BARING moved that a Select Committee be appointed for . the purpose cf inquiring iiito the best means of maintaining and improving the ForelEn.
