I • D II CORBETT'S PUBLICATIOR. .4 1 • r '• 4 Mr. O'GORMAN MAHON denied that there was any agitation in Preland. Agitated as Ireland now was, was the poor labourer demand bit 2s. 6d. bearding the magistrates, and burning the food and pro- PertY. Alderman WAITHMAN complained of these extended discussions. Nr said lie had a petition to present. r. HU3I F. said the linen trade was the subject before the house, aad he maintained that trade should be kept free. Mr. FERGUSON observed, that he also bad an important petition to present, and had attended five days without being able to present the petition. Some new rule must be adopted, or the people's petitions could not be presented, if public business were to be begun at five o'alock. The SPEAKER observed, that public business continued till five o'clock ; and that after the public business was disposed of, petitions were again called en. He had last night, for instance, called the hon. member's name, the hon. member not answeting. (Hear.) lord PALMERSTON, in consequence of the absence of Lord Al. sharp, who had been called away in consequence of a family misfortune tut' to beg the hon. gentleman to postpone his contemplated =dot; segarding some publication. Mr. R. TREVOR said, under such he should post- pone his motion. Lord PA LMERSTON thought that Thursday next would suit his auble friend.—Motion postponed accordingly. Mr. TREVOR eventually postponed his motion, under these cir cumstances, till Thursday next. COLONIAL TRADE BILL. The order of the hay having been read for the second reading of the Colonial Trade Bill, Mr. P. THOMPSON said it was not the intention of his Majesty's government to press this bill in its present shape. Mr. HERRIES said he should offer no obstacle to the postpone ment. Mr. ROBINSON lamented that the bill was to be delayed. The interest of our colonies had been sacrificed to concessions to the United Sores. The Americans had presumed to tell us, what were our in terests, and what ought to be our principles of navigation. As to the threatened reprisals of Americt,what more could it do than it had done. lie wished to know whether Mr. lll`Lane had not re.opened, the negotiation regarding Colonial Intercourse, and daring to dictate before the Board of Trade as to ►he duties we ought to impose. From what he had this night heard from the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, he feared that Mr. IPLane had been but too successful in inducing our ministers to re-open the negociation.— If this were true, he would not hesitate to say that it was a gross breach of faith. He wished also to ask the right hon. rent. before him (Mr. Herries) whether he had not allowed a repre sentation to be sent out to the colonies, that at least for a tins* the proposed scale would be acted upon ? Sir H. PARNELL trusted that the Government would not now give any answer to the question asked. As to the bill, he contended it was a violation of existing treaties, and that it ought not to pass in its pre. sent shape. Mr. AP Lane had shown that fact. The principle of the member for Harwich's (Mr. Herries) bill, was the old, and almost ex ult:tied one, of " protection." (Hear.) He trusted that the Vice- President of the Board of Trade would, after the recess, show that he Mal not forgotten the principles he had formerly professed. (Hear.) Mr. DERBIES complained of the course pursued by the hors. mem bers (Mr. Robinson and Sir H. Parnell.) The measure was to be post paned, and yet those members thought It right to attack and misrepre sent the late government. As to the question put to him, no official notice had been given of the character mentioned • but the views of go. eminent had been imparted to deputations, and Others having commu nication with the government departments. Further than that nothing had been done; In fact, the government could not have pledged itself as to what Parliament would do. Mr. HUME complained of the language used by an hon. member (Nlr. Robinson) in calling the conduct of America " presuming" and " daring." Was that proper language to be adopted towards an inde pendent State ? He disapproved of the Bill; it was, in fact, protecting one colony at the expense of another ; and it was contrary to what America had the right to expect, pursuant to existing treaties ; and it was contrary to the interests of this country. He trusted the Bill would be considerably modified, and he was therefore glad of the postponement. Mr. K. DOUGLAS hoped the question would be fully considered; it was most important to the colonies. Mr. P. THOMSON said he could not answer the question that had been put to him now : • moment's reflation would show that it could not be expected of him to answer, whether any negociation was pending with the American Minister. The second reading of the bill was then postponed till February 11. Lord NUGENT postponed the second reeding of the lAbourers' Hiring Bill. He would tic a day after the mess in which he hoped to have a discussion on it. Mr. SADLER observed that the bill was highly important—hut ap proved of the proposed postponement. Mr. SLANEY approved of the postponements—it would give time for further consideration; be felt assured that the more the bill was con sidered, the greater would the difficulties of carrying It into edict appear. Second reading postponed till February 10. The Judgment in Execution bill went through a committee.—Report to morrow. FORGERIES TO ♦N ELECTION PETITION. _ _ Sir R. INGLIS moved that the petition which bad been presented, complaining of forged signatures having been attached to the petition complaining of an undue election for CArrickfergus, be referred to a select committee to examine into the matter thereof. _ _ Sir A. CHICHESTER said, that the parties had entered into the re gular recognizances, and trusted that no slur would be thrown on the proceedings. Lord PALMERSTON acquiesced in the motion. Mr. HUME recommended that the motion should not be pressed— and that the hon. hart. should enquire into the allegations of the peti tion, and communicate the result to the house. . . Sir J. GRAHAM was favourable to the motion, because then, if any special proceedings were required, the House would have rep. lar grounds to proceed upon in possessing the committee's report. Motion agreed to, and the committee appointed. This concluded the public business. The presentation of petitions was resumed at a quarter to seven o'clock. Mr. CURTER, in presenting a petition, said, that to attempt a free trade in can, would be perfect insanity. He hoped the govern. nient would not listen to the political economists. The petition was from a parish in Sussex, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for reduction of taxation. Mr. L. WELLESLEY supported the prayer of the petition, and de signated the question as one of the most important that mould claim attention. Sir J. SRBRIOHT was of opinion that small gardens to cottages were beneficial, highs thought that no cottager could, with advantage, occupy more land than he could easily oddest. as a idtchen garden. He had tried the experiment on hie own estate. Lewd NUGENT approved of spade husbandry and allotments of land to labourers, under prsper restrictions. Mr. BRISCOE expla ined , that he thought no allotment of land to the labourer should exceed an we, and was of opinion that half an acre was sufficient, Mr. Ald. WAITHMAN was favourable to allotments of land to the labourer, but was convinced that the cause of the distress was not to be removed by that measure. Taxation must be reduced, and great pen sions and sinecure* must be abolished, or it would soon be with this oeuntry as it was with other countries in Europe. The hon. Alderman gave notice, that he would lay upon the table a string of resolutions, relating to the state of the country, to be taken into consideration after the holidays. A lengthy conversation followed, and the petitions were laid on the table. Mr. LENNARD moved for a town of the number of persons who have been convicted of forgery :--and In the absence of the member for Ayr, foe a return of the emoluments of keeper of the signet in Scotland, within the last ten years.—The motions were avoid to. The bill for intending the turnpike.road act in Scotland was read a second time. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN moved for a number of returns re lating to the funded property paid and received by the commissioners tor the national debt; and for the amount of manufactured goods ea. ported between 1798 and 1829. Mr. ELLICE offered some opposition, and urangers were ordered to withdraw for the purpose of dividing the House, but the motion was agreed to. Mr. HUME had three petitions to present from Sussex, which re quired him to nodes them at some length. The hon. member read a portion of one of the petitions from Horsham, which set forth that the labourers had suffered as much as they could, and being driven to drape. ration could endure no more. Another of the petitions prayed for reduc tion of taxation, and Parliamentary Reform. Mr. L LUMLEY made a few observations on the Corn Lows. He said that they did not benefit the agriculturist, but a knot of corn. therms and jobbers,who job with corn as stock.jobbere job with the funds. Colonel SIBTHORPR expressed his disapprobation of five trade in cern. as it would render the agriculturists incapable to meet their pro. portions of the burdens of the country. Mr. C URTE IS, in an explanation, said that the lowest rate of wages in one parish of Sussex, for labourers, was le.9d. per day.—.Petidon laid on the table. Mr. HUME presented thirteen peados@ from Scotland, praying for the abolition of colonial slavery. Laid on the table. Mr. HUME moved for anew= of the items (upended on Royal Re. sidemen at Kensington sad Elam Court, for deepest year, and to vete by whom elegy woe sod of the Royal parks. The bob member hod been binned that the . met el des bendier had been, ler the lest tee yews, IMI,OOOI. Mr. HUMS inbred Am the mailing boiniment, width OMellorrei Mr. J.

Mr. HUME moved for an account of houses in each county that pay, and such as are exempted from the window tax ; and a similar return for house taxes.— Motions agreed to. Mr. HUMS presented a petition from Arbroath, praying to be relieved from the expense of quarantine duce. Mr. C. P. THOMPSON explained the purposes to which the qua. rantike funds were appropriated. The petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. SLANEY presented three petitions from Shrewsbury against neurfavery. NUGENT moved a return of the number and description of oaths taken in the Custom-house during one year, and a similar return from the Excise.—Agreed to. TX! TIII.COLOURID FLAG. Sir M. W. RIDLYEIF presented a petition front a Mr. Mitchell, and a Mr. TharneU, Secretaries to the Tra. ' Procession, who went to pre sent an Address to his Majesty. The petitioners denied that a tri coloured flag had been exhibited on that occasion, and prayed for in quiry into their conduct. A number of petitions and routine business was gone through, and the house adjourned at ten o'clock. ROYAL SOCIETY. Thursday, his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex took the Chair, for the second time, as President, since his election. His Royal High ness appeared, as on the night of his installation, in Court dress. The son of Sir Willoughby Gordon, Paymaster of the Forces, was admitted a Fellow of the Society, by his hoyal Highness, with the usual ceremony. Capt. KATER rose to propose the immediate ballot of Lord Jermyn, son of the Marquis of Bristol. Mr. D. di , the ex. President, observed that, as Lord Jermyn was not sPeer of the Uuited Kingdorn,the usual forms must be attended to, as regarded the ballot. The by-laws on this point being referred to confirmed the observations of the ex-President. After a short paper from the pea of Mr. Lubbock, on an improve ment in the telescope, bad been read, His ROYAL Humus's informed the that it was his inten tion to invite the Foreign Ministers, and iu s e e e v other persons distin. guished for rank and science, to the Society's house. By such unease a friendly intercourse with the scientific men on the Continent would be promoted ; and, that proper accommodation might be afforded to these distinguished individuals, he suggested that the bench on the left of the Chair, should be reserved for them, by which means they would come in more immediate contact with the Society's Foreign Se cretory. t Hear, hear,) The meeting then separated.

John Seamen, aged 49, was indicted for wilfully and maliciously setting fire to, and burning a stack of straw, the property of Isaac Jordan, at Word, in this county. The evidence was generally considered as decisive against the prisoner, as far as circumstantial proof could allow, but to the surprise of the Court, a verdict of " Not Guilty" was returned. He was ordered to be detained on another indictment. TKUILIDAT. John Dyke, alias Jan Figiii,wWsliticted for feloniously and mall. dourly setting fire to a barn and outhouse, containing wheat, peas, beans, At. the property of Michael Stokes, farmer, residing at Beamed, in this county.

Oa the evening of Monday, the Bib of Nov. the prisoner:came to our house about seven o'clock, and remained talking for nearly two hours. He said, "I am one of those rioters." There had beta riot. log in the country before that. Asked him what he meant ; and he replied, " I ant tee of those who write." He then said be had been ca rt ons. to ton, to his sister.ln.law. He asked how we were et as Beamed. We said there had been a mee g. and the gentleman Lad agreed to give half a crown a day. and the people were peaceable. After a few minutes be asked how Mr. Stokes got on. I said Mr. Stokes had three children; but Mr. Stokes was a bad man not to assist my family The prisoner said, " Stokes is a bad man ;" and he said he saw Lmthy's building on tire. My husband said, 4 Mr. Stokes said to me a person might fire a ball at my stack from the rood, and set them on fire;" and asked the prisoner If he thought that could be. He made noreply. My husband asked him if be knew how them balls were made ? He said they were made with gunpowder, aoudads, vitriol, and spirits of turpostine. My husband aske d him bow it was done, and the p ooa replied " Oh, touch it with • little tettcafortia." He left our house at nine o'clock to go to his grandfather's. He came again at three o'clock in the morning of Wednesday. He tapped at the window, and my husband got out of bed, and said to the prisoner " What the devil do you here, do you mean to be taken ?" The Prisoner handed a weapon in at the window, and said, " I wish you would give this to my grandfather." I them; heard the prisoner's voice say, " Aces's stacks are alight, and en will Woo see Stokes's stacks on fire also." My bus. band said. " Who did it ?" and the prisoner said, 6 4 I law a mats up there." My husband lay down for a few minutes, and open looking up I saw a &Ems. of light, and immediately after a men liv ing next door milled out, " Hewitt, Mr. Stoker's barns are on fire ;" I opened the window and called out, fee Mrs. Stokes sod her babies came running down to our house. On the following morning I found a :msong sort of dagger, at the bead of the bed. (The wham ides. weapon which was a sword made so fit to a stick.) Wm. Hewitt, husband to the last witness, corroborated the testimony of his wife. Win.

Witnesses were called on the part of the prisoner, with a view to throw discredit on the evidence of the witness Hewitt ; and those wit nesses concurred in stating that the expressions imputed to Hewitt,— namely, the wish to see Mr.. Stokes's premises on fire, and himself in the middle of it, and also that if be (Hewiu) knew who had set the place on fire he'd be d—d but he'd blow him,—were distinctly sworn to.

Ciumuntax.r..—The collector of tithes for the rector of St. John Zachary, in Aldersgate-ward, applied yesterday for a warrant of die. tress against an inhabitant who had refusal to pay a sum of IL Ils. Mr. Alderman FARZOIOTHER asked upon what ground be required this P _ _ The collector replied, because two summonses had been served upon the party, which had been treated with contempt. The Alderman said he would not grant a warrant on such ground only, without knowing the consequences. "If 1 sign the warrant, will you pay the money ?' continued the magistrate. " Me ?" cried the astounded collector, " No, Sir I I come to you, because the party will not pay me." " I understand that," observed the Alderman, " but perhaps the party is already in distress, which would be greatly aggravated by granting this warrant." Oh, Sir, the consequences would not be very ruinous, for the amount is only IL 1 Is. Besides, the house is, I know, in good circumstances, but refuse to pay because the demand is so large. I was offered 11. tie. Alderman.—l do not know that the money has not been paid. Colkctor—l collect the tithes, and can ■wear that it has not been Paid- Alderman--It may have been paid to the rector. Ile ought to be here to prove that it has not been so paid. Collector—There was never such a thing known as that the clergy man should personally collect his tithes. If you do not grant this war rant, all the other inhabitants will refuse to pay me. Alderman—Well, perhaps he bad better discharge you, and by eel lecting the tithes himself. he would save the per tentage he now pays to you. Collator—Then he must starve. Alderman—Who? Collector—The Rev. Mr. Hutchins. Alderman—No, Sir, but a clergyman is as much bound to come hete and prove his title, as any other party. The amount might have been received by him. Collector —I am ready to swear the sum is unpaid. Do you discredit my oath ? Alderman—Call on the nest ease. And so the application was dismissed. Havrox-Oaanzw.—Testerday, Jonathan Busby, who keeps a coffee-house In Picket-placs, Temple-bar, appeared on a summons, be fore Mr. Roozas and Mr. Sergeant &rums, to answer the compWnt of Rawlings, the informer, preferred under the new police act, for imp. ing open his house before the hour of six in the morning for the sale of ready-made tea and coffee. William Skinner, the informer's witness, stated that oo the morning of the Bth inwant, at a quarter past five o'clock, he found the de. fendant's house open, and went in. He called for a cup of coffee and a slice of toast, with which he was served by, he believed, the defendant himself. There were several other persons in the house drinking coffee at the same time. The defendant said he had kept the house for nine years, and this was the first time he had ever been summoned before a magibtrate. He admitted that he usually kept his house open at an early hour, but it I was for the accommodation of the printers belonging to the Mar establishment, which was directly opposite to his house, and for law writers, who were numerous in h is neighbourhood ; and he denied that the witness had ever been in his house at any time. Mr. Ronnie asked the defendant if he hid any evidence to disprove what the witness had Mated, and to show that he had not been in the house on the morning question. The defendant r eplied th at he had witnesses. Mr. Roo gas— um them. The defendant did not produce any witnesses, but protested that the former's witness had never been in hia house. - - Mr. itoozas then observed to the defendant that by his own ad. l mission, be kept his house open at an earlier h our than that peesaibed by the Act, and thereby subjected himself to • fine of 40s. and the costs, 4• &L On a second informstion, the defendant was charged with a similar finedoffence, under the polies net, to which he pleaded guilty, and was 20• Quzzir-sclumum—Yestaday Jatee Bwicher, Frederick and Joseph Cooke, were placed at the bar helm Mr. Wurrit, charged with stealing from the dwelling house of Wilma Pam Pocock, Esq. of Trevor-place, H v Zton, two India boded MI each, a promis sory note for !IDOL a watch, a valuable diamosi ring, and various other articles of je , together with a quantity of gold and silver coins to a considerable amount.

It appeared from the statement of Mr. Pocock, that last autumn he was at his house in the country. The prisoner, James Butcher, was in his service, and be had left him with other tenants at his house in Trevor-terrace. On his return to town, he found that Butcher had absconded, and his wife discovered that a table-drawer in her bed-roan had been forced open, and r i 4d o ry of jewellery moles.

It seems rather a singular circumstance, but the fact is undeniable, that the aristocracy, both of Russia and Poland, have a greater degree of sympathy with the French people than the same class of society in the countries more contiguous to France. But the wonder ceases when we come to know that the Russian and Polish Noblesse are in the habit of learning the French language in their earliest yeah—that its use is as familiar to them, and sometimes more so, than their mother-tongue ; that French tutors superintend the education of every family of rank ; that the Parisian fashions are those which both men and women strive to imitate • and that even th e pre , Tailing vices are those which are also the b esetting sins of our Gallic neighbours. Besides this, the aristocracy of Russia, as well as of Poland, have, in some respects, a common interest with the democracy of the rest of E s . rope.* It is out of the question to think of a democracy in either or these countries in their present stage of civilisation ; for, with regard to t h e peasants, who form the main body of the people, however much they stand in need of personal emancipation, no man in his senses could for a moment suppose them capable of taking any part in the concerns of Government. The aristocracy, on the other hand, who are synony. mous with the mass of those possessing intellectual superiority, hare long seen themselves prostrated before a few, whom chance or intrigu e have raised to power, and that power exerted to keep them down in every possible way. To these circumstances, in the case of Poland, must be added that of strong national antipathy and feeling of degradation —an odious system of espionage in the towns and at the Post Mee ; and last, but not least, an absurd commercial policy, which has depressed the value of landed produce, and increased the price of foreign luxuries. The population of Warsaw. which is reckoned upwards of 100,000, is perhaps more than half German and Jewish. Almost all the shop. keepers are either Germans or Jews, and such of the methinks as are freemen are also principally from Germany. The Polish inhabitants are of three claws—the Noblesse, the Serf. (of which their households are composed), and the Szlakhtya class, cos. responding with the old English denomination of franklin, or yeoman. It was of these last that Kosciusko's troops principally consisted, in his memorable attempt to achieve the deliverance of Poland. The oppressiveness of the excise-duties levied at the barriers of the town was one of the principal local grievances complained of, in addi tion to those already mentioned. A Jew, whose name I forget, fanned this branch of the revenue, and had his agents prowling about in all directions to detect smugglers. The schemes fallen upon to cheat the Jew were some of than very laughable. One story is related of a man with a wooden Leg, who was continually hopping out and in at the bar na... He was laid hold of, his leg was taken off, and found to contain a cavity cued with smuggled spirits. The character of the Grand I)uke Constantine has already been Ire. quently discussed, both in books of travels and periodical publications. He bears a stronger resemblance to his father Paul. both in mind and person. than any of the rest of the family. "Je suis le crapaud de la finning," is an expression attributed to him. A dispute which he had with a miller of the name of Barnatsky, made a considerable noise at the time when it took place. Barnataky, it seems, was the proprietor of a piece of ground in the neighbourhood of Warsaw , on which his was situated, and his Imperial Highness happened to take a fancy to it as the most eligible place for erecting the summer " loges," or encampment for his troops. Humility was unwilling to part with it, and one day, when the Grand Duke was seen approaching the mill, the miller ordered the gates to be shut. The Tsarevitch was not to be treated in this way with impunity. Barnatsky was arrested and kept in durance vile till he consented to part with the premises.— CArotsiele. • This is perfectly correct as it regards the Polish Nobility; but most egregiously in error, as it regards the Russian Noblesse, who are, in every NSW of the word, and whose interest it is to be, whatsoever they may pretend, the most decidedaristocrats. CAW OF /OROZRY. Tuesday, the pence-office, Menry4treet, Dublin, was crowded with respostoble pefeesional, and other persons of badness, intended in the investigation of the following cased horny, which hue been a subject of mush conversation In that city for the hot few days: A Mr. Lymee was summoned before the usegietrates to show cause why informed's Amid set be taken spinet him for having uttered a bill of szebange, linswing it to be farged.

"Show me the blade that would not be out of temper at being plunged into het writer." POINT or HONOUR.—Colonel Montgomery was shot in a duel about a dog, Captain Ramsay in one about a servant, Mr. Fetherson in one about a recruit, Stern's father in one about a goose, and another tleman in one about an "we of anchovies." One Alcor was foe merely asking his opponent to enjoy a se. coed goblet, and another was compelled to light about a pinch of sauf; Omen' Barry was challenged by a Captain Smith, for de. dining a of wise with him at dinner in a steam-boat, although the Ised pleaded In excuse that wine invariably made his sto mach sick as sm.

A horse-race, a new way of complimenting a singer, wee got up foe the occasion, and after an illumination at the theatre, and a shower of laudation, in the t 5 form of maws sod laurel wreaths, the virtuoso was accent to his bows by a crowd of admirals bearing torch lights, and ewe of operas way daunted under his window foe the better part of night.

He had a small brass plate axed to the chair, on which the period when it was presented to him, and lOW other partindars, were engraved, to which the following Imes from Byron 's " Ode to Napoleon" were added t— " NOT till TMi fall could mortals guess Ambition's trio than nothingness."
