As little is it their de.ire to decry tlie exertion, of those alto labour in the same vineyard, and seek tie saute end with themselves. For these, on the contrary, they entertain the highest respect ; but the field scans sufficiently wide fur all parties, and therefore they enter it. They are ailing to persuade themselves, moreover, that the circum. stances under which they approach their task, are not unfavourable to its success. Almost all our knowledge arises frc:u experience ; and hence, by imitating as far as can be, the excellencies of their predecessors, no less than by avoiding their errors, should such c,:ance to have been committed, they hope to produce a series of Works which shall at once satisfy the judgment, and suit the tastes e those who relish amusement the most when it comes united with :nstruction. 'fir Projectors of the Library of General Knowledge offer no dis play of great names. Thee nisy dazzle for u moment, but they seldom effect more. As little are they disposed to make professions, which are in all cases more easily made than realized. Their Work must speak for itself. If It prove such as they confidently andel ? ite. it wil! receive, because it will deserve, the approbation of the Public. The Library of General Knowledge will be conducted by the Rm. K.

There have for some time existed serious difficulties in the Chi. nese trade, owing, am it would appear, to the oppressive and griping conduct of the funtionaries at Canton. The number of Hong merchants has been reduced from twelve to seven, and of these only two do the business of the country ships. hands of all kinds abound. The petition of the British merchants contains the follow ing statements : `• Eighteen months ago Ranhop Hong failed, and owed foreigners about 1,008,000. At the same time there were of this Hong's goods worth more than 1,000,000. Every body said that Ranhop took the goods and passed them over to pay Chinese debts (old), and, beside, appropriated money for his own use, whilst the foreign debts were laid on the other merchants to pay them in six years, without interest being allowed. Now Chimqua, seeing that Ran hop committed a fraud so easily, has also imitated it. He has also transferred upwards of five millions of dollars of foreigners' money, and has tranferred his property to pay Chinese debts If your Excellency allows Chimqua fraudulently to take away money, and does not strenuously urge his return, and decide for foreigners, but also lay this on the other merchants to pay for him, it will involve them so much that they will all fail. IVe must earnestly entreat your Excellency to urge Chimqua to bring back this money, and order him to pay foreigners immediately. Foreign ers really will not consent to let Chimqua imitate Ranhop, and have the other merchants ordered to pay for him in six years, which would really be neither just nor reasonable. All we foreigners, by peti tion, inform your Excellency, that in the duties there are great ex tortions, exceedingly ruinous to foreign trade." The answer to this petition was contemptuous enough, and only stated in substance, that the Treasurer and Judge of Canton had orders to inquire into the business, and that there was no use of dunning with whining petitions. But the reply to the petition of the Spaniards was still more haughty :-- " Le, member of the Military Board, Governor of Canton, &c. hereby issues a proclamation in reply to a petition from Koleena, a foreign merchant of the Lew-Sung (Spanish nation.) " The celestial empire acts kindly and tenderly towards men from remote parts, and suffers you outside foreigners of every nation to cross the ocean, and to come to an open market for the benefit :of merchants and traders. You foreigners, doubtless, ought to be very grateful for the gracious treatment you receive, and yield implicit o be dience to the excellent commands of Government. "All dial is established concerning Hong merchants, the pay ment of measurement, the payment of duties which revert to the public use, the allowance for waste in turning dollats into pure silver, the carriage, &c. are old and fixed regulations which have descended hs all the records, and been acted on fur many years. It must not be allowed to entertain wild expectations of an alteration, nor futile disturbance by fallacious deliberations. During the first decade of this moon the English Chief, Plowden, and the others, presented a petition, stating in order the several topics. Whilst I read them, I already perceived that there were a great many impe dimenta and hindrances, sod that it was difficult to grant that which was requested should be done. Originally they might all have been rejected with a reprimand. But 1 would listen to business with impartiality, and stooped to accommodate the feelings of foreigners, and was still desirous to act on the evidence of general opinion, and maintain tat equitable decision. Therefore I condescend to direct the Treasurer and Judge to deliberate and report to ire, after which I would decide. It was by no nteaus intended that I would neces. sal* sanction the results they cane to, and forthwith comply with the wild and selfish views slily proposed. " But lo! other foreigners, hearing the rumour, were led to join the party, and follow the example in a worse degree. The other day the two nations of Indians and Hollanders, Dorabjee Magnlac and Van Ceneghent, also dragged in and picked up several topics, which they presented in a petition. Already I have given a severe repri mand in reply. Now again (the Spanish) forcignets dun me with a petition in three topics, joining in harmony, and thundering the same, and thrust forward their mad, incoherent nonsense. It is worthy of detestation in the deepest degree. " Try to contemplate the celestial empire, het abundant liar vests. and her mountains of wealth; her national treasury, full of overflowing ! What dependence can she have on the petty meT. chandise.of all your barbarian nations to suarly her with revenue ? " If at this time, because duties arc to be forwarded to Court, therefore to obtain your wishes by compulsory• means; but the con. sequence will be, that you will exclude yourselves from the life that is given you (or front what, in the natural course of things, you would desire from the celestial empire), for hereafter it will assu redly give that degree of offence which will cause your expulsion. " Still I suppose these foreigners would not presume to cherish such lying expectations. Manifestly there are native traitorous mer chants, who have secret intercourse, and excite these things craftily, securing their own advantage, and these foreigners fall into the snare. Just as in that topic, that affluent Hong merchants shall rut be al lowed to retire. This subject was formerly reported to the Emperor, and obtained his sanction, as is on record. But this was out of com passion for the foreign merchants, to prevent their foreign debts not being paid. " If the hoppo were to permit affluent merchants to retire, these foreigners ought to petition and beg for an order to retain them. How is it that the first hope set forth in their petition is to allow affluent merchants to retire ? They do not desire any persons on whom themselves can rely, but turn round and ask for others, that they may escape. These foreigners, after all, should have been be fooled to this degree. It is now manifestly divulged by the appear ances of circumstances that they have been tossed and played with as in a sieve, by some traitorous merchant. Ido at this time proclaim to you, foreign merchants, and tell you that you ought all to rouse yourselves, and examine with solicitude and awe. Don't permit yourselves to be betooled by others. lf, however, you will nut repent and awaken, but while you produce some different tale, I (the Governor) am resolved instantly to report to his Imperial %lajesty the exact fact., and take both the traitorous Chinese and foreign merchants, and prosecute then, together to the root of the matter with strictness, and punish them with severity. Take care you do not bring yourselves into crime and trouble. Tremble at this. " Nov. 9, 9th Moon, 30th day (Oct. 27, 1829.)" 1.11 PER IAL PA RLIAM ENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-TUESDAY.

Earl STANHOPE wished to know whether the Noble Marquis intended to make a similar request of other Noble Lords who had motions to submit to the house, if those motions happened to inter. We with the East Retfurd case ? The Marquis of SALISBURY thought it would be a matter of great convenience if the other business, not of a pressing nature, were suspended until the examination on the East ttetford Bill was concluded. .

The money, he stated, was given him by Mr. Osisaldiston's agent for the purpose to which it was applied. The witness was cross-examined by several of their lordships as to whether he did not conceive the disclosures which he was mating here as a breach of confidence towards Mr. Osbaldiston ?—He de nied altogether that there had been any stipulation rs to secrecy. He was then ordered to withdraw. Mr. John Mee the Town-cicrk, was then called in, and pat in the original roll Of the burgesses who had been admitted to their freedom, with the view of showing that those who had received the bribe were, in fact, freemen of the borough.

October next, without any allowance being made for the stock re. maining on hard. lie (Mr. Mililmay) considered this measure to I be attended with great hardship to the brewers and publicans why had beer on hand, which cot:lil nut be cousumed but in winter. It was well known that there were tut) descriptions of beer made, one for winter capstan:peon and the other, of re lighter quality, for sum. flier use. The petitioners eomplaimil that they should be unable to dispose of their winter beer by the period appointed for taking off the duty. lie, therefore. lipped the Chencellor of the Exchequer would take this subject into his consittratiuti, and either extend the time or make some compensation to the parties for the great lON they must sustain. Sir M. W. RIDLEY had, during the recess, consulted with ' many parties interested in this subject, and he telt no hesitation in saying, that the alterati o n by the bill w ou ld be attend e d with great 1 hardship to them, unless they were allowed a drawback. He con sidered that a modified drawback on the stock remaining on hand, at the time of the act coming into force, would he the best mode of removing the evil. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had paid deep 1 attention to this part of the intended measure, and had frequent con sultations with those interested in the trade, but he did not consider any alteration could be made in the pronos.d plan with safety to the public revenue. When the bill should be produced, however, thee would bean opportunity for discussing its various points. The petition was then brought up, and laid on the table.

THE CHURCH. Mr. It. KING rose to present a petition from the town and county of Cork respecting the Established Church of Ireland. (Hear.) The petition, to which he wouid shortly draw the at. tention of the house, was numerously and respectably signed.-- (Hear, hear.) There was attached to it the name of one Peer, a considerable number of Magistrates, and a very large pro. portion of the Protestant inhabitants of the town and cot.n. ty. The object which the petitioners had in view was a mere equal distribution of Church patronage, the abolition of pluralities, and a more speedy remedy against the immorality or delinquency of the Clergy. The petitioners were convinced of the purity of the Esta blished Church, of the excellency of Episcopal Church Government, and were anxious to defend her privileges. They also acknow ledged the right of the clergy to the church revenues, and wished the established church to be preserved, but with recce alterations, which were specified in the petition. - The peti tioners felt that the revenues of the church were not superabun. dant, if they were more equally distributed; they admitted, awhile also concurred in this statement, that any alienation of church property to the laity, or in any way which might withdraw it from the Church, would be pmiluctive of revolution and ruin to the Establishment. They wish that a suitable provision should lie made for the Clergy, and are convinced that the only proper way to accomplish this was to diminish the enormous income of those in the higher ranks of the Church, and apply the residue to provide for the inferior Clergy, who were not paid at all in pro. portion to the duties performed. The petitioners also complain of the abuse of patronage, and point out as one of the effects of•it the evils arising front the appointment of one incumbent •to several parishes. They therefore pray that there should be a more equal distribution of Church livings in order tight the inferior Clergy may be appointed to some of those ph. rishes which are now held by pluralists. The petitioners also complain of the absentees In the church. They say that many of the beneficed clergy absent themselves from their flocks, and thereby weaken those ties which ought to exist between the pasta . and his flock. They also complain of the difficulty and expense of ejecting an immoral clergyman, and contend that the church ought to have the power of dispossessing in a mere summary manner profligate ministers who but too frequently at present are allowed to enjoy their livings, to the injury of the churth and the scandal Al religion. t ..
