The &ruses. informed the Bearers of 11th- Message of his in.• tention to acquaint the House of ilie Message. - Mr. HUME begged leave to postpone two of Mr. Maberley's motions, the firserriating to the It peal of Asseilsid Taxes till after Easter ; and the second respe.:ting Exchequer Bills and the trans- Mr. S:cretary PEELexplained.' Mr. Gourley had not been confined for contempt of the• House, but for com mitting an assault upon an individual, for which offence he not only refused to give bail foi his good behaviour for the future, but had conducted himself in so strange and incoherent a manner, that he had been deemed insane, and therefore confined. He (Mt:. Peel) could assure the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, that every attention had been paid this unfortunate gentleman— every remedy that could soften the rigour; of his con finement had been adopted, but that under all these combined circumstances, he - thought it would be im= prudent to set him at liberty, Had the ;Hon. Member for Aberdeen Conducted himself in the way this indlthlual had, the House would be perfectly right in keeping him .in the same situ adon as the individual alluded to. (A taugh.) - He did not wish to detract from the merits of the Petition, but it was useless unless some friend would come forward and vouch for the sanity of this gentleman. Mr. HUME laid, that he would not have the least objection ' to enter into the required recognizance, if he were allowed by Mr. Gourlay. But the Gentleman would not allow any person to become his surety, until an investigatibn took place into his alledged insanity, the truth of which assertion was strongly denied by Mr. Gourlay. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, this was certainly not a case lit ' which he should be disposed to interfere with the salutary restraint prescribed in such cases by. the Legislature. ,If any departure were to be made in this case, care should be taken that it was not done without ample security to the public for the protervation of the peace, otherwise he should be decidedly averse to eimpOol the due execution of the lairs. - Mr. HUMS said, it would be well to investigate into tbe cir cumstances, so as to ascertain hew far this individual was insane. Sit F. BURDETT observed, that if this person ware to enter into good security to keep the peace, there could be little hazard in enlarging him. Mr. CROKEIt begged the Honourable Baronet to recollect, that Rills recognisances were accepted, there would be an end of the restrictions imposed on the person who was the subject of the Petition, as a lunatic, and he would be altogether absolved from the restraint. • The Petition was read, and laid on the table. _: Mr. HUME then presented a Petition from William Martin, lessor, of Seven Oaks, complaining that he had gone to the Bank :INdebi with Bank of England Notes, and demanded gold fur them, MN& was r e fused, and their - own notes tendered, which he in turn refused ; in twenty four hour. afterwards, the request was complied with; and praying the House to withhold its assent finm the mea-, sure now Id progress, relative to Currency of the country. The Petition was read, after a few words from Mr. Basuto and Sir FIiANC/S Beaseri, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, it - was clear in this ease the party had suffered no- inconvenience eheept that which he had brought oa himself—the House could not by any possible mode interfere so as to get Min the vane' of these notes sooner than the Banker had giVen hiss valtte. Mr:- W. SMITH thought the @Wolin had MI let tintipurpoot of founding upon it a Petition Mr. CALCRAFT had itaintfp bums .shed A - had sid kllk 4ldatltiC""ve"r4ll6°'"nell."..ih;°uid have abstained from decrying-Bit aulealmoy, namely,.ths of paper until they had procured the public onetime is its stead. The Petition was on Mr. Holies iouslmoortiored• to be printed. = He then presented a Peebles kolialleampirmiwei meniess, praying that the House would sot sametion any,inesefereou in the currtacy, of Scotland, Mr.HEATHCOTE implored Honourable Gentlemen to abstala from debating-.A every Petition, on the subject of our commercial dilicaities as arising from the state of.the Currency. The sleet 'of these desultory arguments was to produce distrust - in men's minds, as to the real resources of the country, which he belieired were by no means so materially elected as had been imagined. Mr. HUME presented a ?odd's% front Pollockshavt, in Lanark. shire, praying for a repeal of the Core Laws. In the few els. servations:viith which he prefaced the motion for reading the Peti tion, be took an opportunity of condemning these laws, as highly injurious to the working and manufacturing interests, as a tat on the poor to favour the rich landowners, and procure them high rests, and denounced the whole system as a means devised for levying a bread tax. Mr. BENETT repelled the inference of the Honourable Mem- Ws, that the Corn Laws upheld the rick at the, expense of the poor. ,It was owing to these laws that the public was- always assured 'of a supply of torn grown at home when there was a deficient supply from local causes abroad. It was by the landowners that the high system of taxation was principally paid ; by them ,that the interest of- the National Debt, the espences of the State, lb. maintenance of our numerous poor were defrayed for: the plater part, and he thought it came with a very ill grace from say Honourable Merither, new. that he should after all these Ms:daces on the part of the lindowners, tell them that they had awe than a fair proportion of the .favour and protecdou .f the •Leigislature.—(Cheers). The Petition was read, and, on the motion of Mr. Hums, ordered.' to be printed. A new Writ was ordered for the Borough of Horsham, in the room of Sir John Aubrey, deceased. Sir ROBERT WILSON • presented a Petition from above 8,000 Boot and Shoe•makers in the 'neighbour hood of London, praying for a revisal of the Corn Laws. He felt convinced of the truth of the allega tions of the Petition; and although some decried the practice, he was glad to find this and other subjects connected with the great questions of the trade of the country, and even the delicate subject of the currency, sifted and essmined in that House, because he felt it did more to enlighten the public, and remove error out of doers, than any other mode of inquiry wiatevef. He bad as sented to the principle of free trade, because he had been assured that, as a consequence, the principk would be .cted on with re ference to the Corn question itself; and having received such as surances, he hoped they would not he forfeited. He moved the Petition should be read. Mr. CALCHAFT was not inclined to support the prayer of the Petition further than that he disavowed any desite to maintain a strict monopoly to the Eng: I,sh corn grower. This peti.ion came very ill from a class of men who actually charged .as much for a handsome pair of boots as he as a landowner wobld get for a quay. ter of wheat.—(A laugh, and cries of " No, no.")—The price of bread, however, continued high, aithdugh the price of corn was comparatively cheap. This was an evil in the present system which required indeed serious attention on the pact of his Majesty's Government Its (rat* to its source and correct. Mr. Alderman WOOD supported the 'Petition. Sir M. HIDLEY assured the House, his Hon. and Gallant Friend was mistaken as to tents being as high as they were during di! war. Many unhandsome op portunities had been taken in presenting Petitions, to throw, by a side-wind, imputations on the landlords and country Gentleinen of &gland which they never deaervedi and which they were altogether above. He believed ths,Potitiosers for a low price of corn would very soon have their wishes realised if the Promissory Note 11 . 111 were suffercd to pass into a law ; but ( they had' UreJd cheap, they should recollect :hey must have wages low in proportion. Colonel DAVIS supported the Petition, and rejoiced to think that the effect of the Promiestirrtiosii3ill would be to make the lauded . Interest repoolltheaotial/11Vitipiort they had given to his Majesty's Ministers, in k tap - au nor. moue system of public expenditurei both cleiLsoeffitary. Mr. N CALVER r believed it would be always im. possible, in this country, to prodyce corn at a price sn low as it could be produced in other countries. If the landlords were to attempt it, they would find them selves obliged to break up their present farming sys tem and large farms, and lease the land oat to a tenantry resem bling that of Ireland and Germany, *rho consumed irk their own produce. What would, in soeh a case, Web* nu fscturets? or where-would they ger bread? i•• Sir EDWARD KNATCEIBULL was of op intWEV the landlordi had no extraordinary profits, and that the change sought for in the Coto Laws worild be attended with little or no benefit. He certainty would wiAt that a coostancy and steadiness is the price of that article would be oistallistrefhich he thought might be effected by the means of a slight asusadareer in the present mode of taking averages and fixing the value et Corn, Mr. THOMAS WILSON had heard with regret the tone assumed by the Landed Interest in that House.— He thought these complaints were, as welt as thee-ap prehensions, groundless. They ought by this time to be convinced that the principle of tree trade to which sn nutty Welters 'hid yielded must, as a matter of •coorse, reach them ; and that though it Should reach them, if will nit materjally affect the security of their property, which, though it,might afford a nominally lower rent roll, would still afford them as much of the good things of this . life as it had done under s more favourite system. Sir FRANCIS uuttpErr would not enter intothe details of the price of boots, or the representations of the Petitioners, so much as to remonstrate on the too frequent prevalence of a line of argument edopted by many within those walls, which he felt was utterly er roneous, and fraught with dangerous and delusive con sequences on the minds of people out of doors. It was absurd to talk of a state of things where 'bread should be cheap, without that. cheapness producing a corre sponding reduction in the rate of wages. A particular class of Hon. Gentlemen, in presentiug Petitions libel the labouring and manufacturing classes, affected atone of deep compassion for the condition of these pitries, while they besoqght the Legislature to lower,* price of corn, and jet these very parties exclaimed at another time—lower the price of corn that we may lower the Price of labour, and thus compete in articles of general. lutanufacture with theforeigner, who has the a ivantage over the British in the low price of labour. As to sym pathy on such a subject he believed all men would be happy to find the workmen contented, and each with a fowl in his pot, not only on - a Sunday, bid Pveryiday if it could be effected'by these means ; hut tbisbe doubted, It was idle, and even mischievous to talc in this way, anticipating almost 'impossible results; and he .hoped when the' subject should be discussed at length; it would be met dispassionately; and coolly and mature, befitting the occasion. It would, he thought, always- be found impossible to have opulent, commercial, and •mann facturing men where the leadowneis were pone.. This constant assailing on.. the landed interest was, in his mind, the more lath:feasible, because he Ise -tiered ..tiocetely that, itiot.sueon . excepting Awarder', there was no class io imp country who .practised the social virtues in , a more exemplary manner than the Cduntry Gentlemen of England. (Hear.) Witco the question of free trade had been propounded he had supported it, and shonld.support it, not because it would, in his opinion, injure the landed interest, or that there would be any thing to rejoice at, hut from a can. friction they had nothing to dread from its tendency. He had to regret. that, as yet, the friends in the Cabinet of this liberal policy had .been able to - effect no more • than they bad done. N.at could he sympathise with those who suppot ted the pi inciple only so far as it it did not operate on themselves, and as soon as it did, imme diately cried out they were injured. This had been strongly exemplified in the case of the ,silk trade.— Ministers then bad said, we will not consent to a pro hibition, because it is directly opposed to a prohibitidn, we can give you no higher protection than to the extent of SOI. per cent. least the smuggler should break in with a supply and beat down the lair trader. This, how ever, was not sufficient. Gentlemen exclaimed, 0! you will do a great and extensive mischief if you admit the principle of flee trade in that particular branch of our manufactures. 'This was another fatal error in his opinion for that which would not stand the test of com petition under such a protecting duty, ought, in justice to national interests, to be exchanged for some other mode of employing property and capital beneficially *and -with greater chance of success. He.was an advo cate for free trade on the, broader principle, and s such was an advocate for a, free trade in corn, and be hoped that the Land owners upon examining the subject calmly, and without alarm, would also be convinced that a free trade in corn would not be inconsistent with their own interests. Mr. CAN US W isVii,Tii;;;;re convinced that the principle of free trade in corn would be embraced without prejudice so the Laud-owner, would feel no objection to repeal the Corn Laws. Sir ROBERT WILSON denied he had atternyted to• throw any odium on the Landed Interest in the observation. be bbd made in presenting the Petition. The Petition was Akio read, sad ordered to be printed. ....

A Petition Was presented from a Congregation of Protestant Dissenters at Stamford, for the Abolition of Slavery. Mr. CALCRA FT gave notice of a motion for Friday next, for the better regulation of Marine Forces on shore. Mr. W. SMITH presented Petitions for the gradual Abolition of Slavery from Waltham, and several other places in Essex, and . from Peckham in Surrey. He also presented a Pkiition, flume. -musky signed , from Norwich, in favour of the Norwich and Loa es., toff Canal. The House went into a Committee of Supply. On the motion being put for a grant of £13,13$ for the !Loyal Military College at Sandhurst, • Mr. HUME.enquired if all the youths - educated in that Colkip were supplied with Commiesions. Lord EA LMERSTON replied, that last year 113 01liFeto had been appointed from that Establishment-46 by purcblen *AV without purchase. Colonel DAVIES remarked that the Estimate under: Oh teed was increased sitter last your. . Lord PAL'MERSTON replied _that the number of students was diminished, and particularly the number of that claw U 1 ktU. dents which contributed the most largely towards the eipentes of the establishment. Mr. f2U3I.E thought the institution unnecessary. They had Maas enough already, many of whom was starving upon half-
