The Earl of ELDON presented a Petition from the Sillidyers and Manufacturers of the City of CoventsTrilrferout of this Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord sl.o presented a Petition front the Mayor and Corporation of the City of Coventry, praying that they might be heard by Counsel at the Bar of their Lordships' House. against die Bill ; and moved, that the Prayer of the Petition be granted. The LORD CHANCELLOR then put the question, upon the motion of the Noble Earl, snd it was agreed, that the petitioners should be heard by their Counsel at the Bar of the House, upon the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of ROSSLYN presented a Petition from the Watch manufacturers of tbe City of Coventry in favour of the IhII.

This Bill wat ordered to be The Earl of CARBERRY said, he wished to take that oppor tunity of observing, that all the Irish Bills came up to their Lind ships House at so late a period of each Session that it was impos sible to pay the proper attention to them. The consequence was, that in the neat Session they found it expedient to make amend ments which never would have been necessary if they originally had sufficient time to examine and consider the nature of these Bills.— He hoped, therefore, that, fir the'future, care would be taken to have these Bills sent up to their Lordships in proper time. Cr>RN AVIMAORS. The House having resolved itself into a Committee os the Corn Averages Bill, Viscount GODERICH moved, that the words ap plicable to the Bill which had been abandoned be struck out of the second clause, for the purpose of in serting these—s 4 For duly regulating the importation of Foreign Corn, Meal, and Flour, into the United Kingdom for consumption."—Agreed to. - Lord FARNHAM moved, that the words u British Corn" be omitted, and these substituted instead, " the grt.wth of the Uuited Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." _ _ Vi.count GODEIUCII thought, that the object of the Noble Lord would be answered by a proviso w him he meant to propose—.. tha: alt Corn or Grain, the produce of the United Kingdom, should be deemed to be Briti.h Corn." _ _ _ -Lord FARNHAM said, that he still considered his 'amendment necessary, for, unless it were made, he could not conveniently move, as he intended, for the addition of certain towns in Ireland and Scotland. He was extremely anxious to have the mat kets of these countries included in the hat, because the great object ought to be to bring the truth before the country, and he considered that there was no measure better calcu lazed to promote this object. If the intioduetion of ' these towns would reduce the averages, he contended that formerly a false principle had beets acted upon, and that false awes ages had been given. He could him self declare that the present system had created much dissatisfaction iu Ireland, for the people invariably found that the prices quoted as average prices, were bights: then they could ever get. For himself he would say, that he was chiefly induced to advocate the change to which he had alluded, from an anxious wish that they should have real averages and real duties, and that they sh uld be enabled to speak in intelligible language—in language which they themselves, and ss hitt' the coun try, could understand. The Noble Lord then stated, that he also objected to another clause of the Bill, which. in his mind, conferted upon the King in Council too great a poser of raising or depressing the averages, by changing the towns from the matkets of which the are' ages were regulated. He then said he would move, that the words cities and towns of England and %Vides should be left out of the first clause, and that the words 'cities and towns of'Great Britain and Ireland should be in serted in their stead ; and read a list of the towns in Scut land and Ireland he wished to have included in it. Viscount GODERICH said, he had 4 reilt objections to having these towns of Ireland and Scotland placed upon the list, because the circumstance of so doing ,would make a most matetial difference in the law as it then stood. Their Lordships would recollect that the present measure was intended to be brought forward as concurrent with another measure that had received the approbation ot the other House, and he begged tt eir Lordships to consider, that if these towns were, ender existing circumstances, introduced, it would create a great change in the present law, which applied to the ort . atioa of foreign corn. The law in existence had been famed upon the under standing that the averages were to be taken after a certain manner; and now, if they were to add a number of other towns to the list, it certainly would produce effects that had not been calculated upon by the framers of that law. This, he contended, would be unreasonable, and must inevitably produce much mischief before a new Corn Law could be constructed, the provisions of which should be calcu lated to meet the new arrangement. He felt the full force of the Noble Lord's r bjection to the clause con ferring a discretionary power, in changing the list of towns, upon the King in Council, and he thought that perhaps it might be proper to leave the clause out when they came to that pats of the Ibll in which it lay— (Hear, heal). He begged to obs:rve, however, that it differed very little from that clause which had hem introduced into the Bill of 1822, and highly ap ptoved of at that time. The only difference, in fact, was that a representation from a bOdy of magistrate. was declared unnecessary. lie repeated, that he had no objection to leaving out the clause; bot he had the very strongest objections to having the towns of Ireland and Scotland included in the first clause. Such a measure would have a most violent effect upon the law, and would, in fact, place it upon a basis entirely different. He was afraid the Noble Lord had not sufficiently con sidesed what would be the effect of his amendment, or -bow it could be practically c- rried into execution. Did the Noble Lord intend, for instance, that the inspector for Dublin should to appointed by the Lord Mayor, scc. as in London? And how did he propose to have the averages settled there? The fact was, that the dB . - feient towns of Ireland could not, like the towns of England, be brought into the list of averages bet ore the 15:Is of August next. It was peifectly, it was utterly impossible, from a variety of causes, and third, re it was evident that these would be none of that adv.'s. tage (f precision which the Noble Lord anticipated dui 'in that short petiod. winch, as ;time iately preceding the comiugan of harvest, was also the most important. Lord ELLENBOROMII did not think that the omission ot Ireland and• Scotland wi uld necessarily raise the average, hut he was not I,repard t come so any conclusion (Ton the subject, :of he had seen the retuins of tree average of ti.e pikes taker in the ditfuelit towns ALA ctics.

He <tonal ;lend theßillsboutio be brought pp as a sort of ex pesknenr: Still, he' thought advantages ,would resolt from it, ak it would enable,their Lordships to legislate with more clearness on the subject nest Session. Ht sup' orted the amendment. The Earl of HARROWI3Y commented on the pre sent mode of taking the averages. and urged the neces sity for some change, which might amend and improve it. He considered it would be quite imposible to take , the averages according to the extensive method proposed by toe amendment. The Earl of MALNIESBURY wished to know wbe ther it were intended that the proposed system of ave rages should apply ro the Bill now in progress through the other House of ParNament ? Viscount GODERICH replied in the affirmative. The Duke of WELLINGTON considered it would be impossible to apply the system of averages to the new law, ucless that new law were framed so as to make them applica'sle. He thought, that with reference to any proposed law, the experiment of averages should be upon as broad a basis as possible. As such a mode would be the most efficacious in preventing frauds, con sequently the greater number of places in which those averages were taken, the greater would be the advan tage. He wished, therefore, that they might be extended to as many of the towns in Great Britain and Ireland as possible. Viscount GODERPCH said, the object ot the amenck ment, and the wish of the Noble Duke, was, to extend the plan of taking the averages to a greater degree than was now contemplated, through the various parts of England. He (Lord Goderich) was not prepared to say that this plan would be objected to by him, but his ob. jist.tion was to introduce it into the present Bill, with which he . did not see how it could be incorporated, or how it could be brought to operate upon another Bill which was not yet a law at all. Lord ELLENROROUGH explained. The Earl of ROSSLYN thought, if the amendment were ad ndtted. the House might have the advantage of the ezporiment for nine months or a year. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that any experiment that might he made would be liable to a year's trial, and could be altered U it were proper so to do. The Earl of HARROW BY said, that very considerable expense enfold be incurred by the plan suggested, as each Inspector must be weillraid. Lord BE L MORE was of opinion that the experiment would net be applicable to Ireland. It would be unjust to regulate the mar kets of that country according to the duties that were calculated by the prices In this. The Marquis of SALISBURY said, that the material point would be to obtain the averages correctly. The present he con. sidered a proper time to make the experiment. Lord TEY N HAM suggested the insertion of certain names of places instead of those now hurried, by which means no new ex pense would be incurred. Lord FARNHAM said, his views coincided with those of the Noble Duke (Wellington). A great point, however, had been gained by the admission of the Noble Viscount (Galeria)) that it would be advantageous to extend the averages. Viscount GODERICH said, what he had observed was net to be taken ai a pledge ; he certainly did at present feel no objection to a wider principle of gee, but he thought that information, with reference to the matter, might be had by inquiry. Until such inquiry were made, he thought it would be wrong to make an arbitrary selection of the towns. The Rail of MALMESBURY suggested the propriety of re porting progress, in order that, by Monday, the Noble Duke might prepare a list of the names of the towns. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the only difference between the two tides was, that one considered the best means of obtaining information would be by official officers, and the other by inquiry. Now, if that information could have been obtained by means of in. quiry, the Government were to blame for not having procured It owner.—The House thee divided. During the absence of the Reporters two divisions took place, which led to a very singular result. An Amendment, which pro poses the mission of certain words, and the assertion of ethers in their place, involves two questions—the one, as to the omission. the other as to the insertion; and it is the practice of the Houses.of Parliament to put the question of oMilliCla in the affirmative thus— " That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the question—" that form comprising, in fact, two decisions In one division. Upon the present occasion, the question put to the House, therefore, was, "That the words England and Wales, proposed to be left Out, stand part of the question," and the numbers were— , Contents 44 • Not-contents . • 44 By the practice of the House the Chairman always votes on the side of the net-contents, as the side which gives an opportunity for takiug the sense of the House a second time. The emission of the words" England and Wales" having thus been determined. before the nest routine question,. that the words Great Britain and Ire land be inserted,' was put, some of the Noble Peers left the Huse, and a division was called ter. The numbers then . were— Contents $7 Not-contents • 43 So that u the Bill now stands, It applies neither to " England and' Walls," nor to " Great Britain and Ireland." Upou our re-admission, their Lordships were discussing the matter round the table, and it was agreed, as we understood. that' steps shoed be taken to make the Bill applicable to some place or places at a future stage. The other clinics of the Bill were agreed to with some verbal amendments, and the Report was ordered to be received tomorrow, and the Bill to be read a third time on Monday. WARZYOUSID 0011b1 RILL. Sir A. Guars and others, from the Commons, brought up the Warehoused Cain INU. It was read a first time. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave norive that his Noble Friend ( Viscount Goderich) would move the second reading of this Bill on Monday next, un which day he moved that their Lord ships be summoned. Sir A. GRANT and others also brought up the Bsehequer Bills Bill (.r500,000). and the lizeise Laws' Consolidation Bill, which were read a first time. The Dissentere Marriage Bill was then read a second time, and Tuesday appointed for the Committee upon lt. The House then adjourned till tomorrow (today.) HOUSE OF COMMONS, Petitions for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Act. were presented—front Trowbridge, in Wiltshire, by bk. J. Barites; from two places in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire; by Mr. It. Stuns ; and from between sixty and seventy places, In Wilt shire, Cumberland, Kent, Worcestershire, Cheshire, Sussex. Mon mouth, Anglesey, &c. by Mr. W. Simms, who observed that the opinion antongq all the respectable Dissenters was in favour of ge neral religious liberty. THE REGENT'S PARK. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, that he re g retted not seeing any person connected with the Department of Woods and Forests in the House, as he had a Petition to pre- sent, which was most numerously and respectably signed, respecting the Regent's . Park. The object of the Petitioners was, to have made good to them a pro mise which had been made by the late Chief Commis sioner of NVoods and Forests, who had said, in reply to a question put to him, that it was the intention of his Majesty to throw the Park open to the public. No step had, however, been taken, for that purpose, and the pe titioners fea•ed the non-fulfilmer.t of the promise made by Mr. Arbuthnot, as only a certain number of persons, who were favoured with keys,. were at present allowed to enjoy the liberty of walking there. Several consi derable portions of the Park been allotted to viduals, such as the Marquis of Hertford and Mr. eta berly ; and certain petsuns living in Cornwall•place and terrace, to the number of about 100, were the only individuals who had keys. Although that might be 'considered a large number, yet it certai,gly was very difr•rcnt (sorts openin,; . the 1 . 44 to the public.gene ' 45 Gad on a 1. tints OCCAt.i(JII, ,There was na need to inform the House, that the Re gent's Park had been formerly divided intogreen fields, over which, although there was no right of Way, yet the public had the liberty of wandering as they pleased. If, therefore, the par k were to be left in its present state, the public, so far from being gainers, would be considerable los•rs. H. was sure, however, that if the Right Honourable G 'ntleman (Mr. Secretary Bourne), and the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests, inquired into the subject, they would guarantee the fulfilment of the promise which had been made. Every Member of the House must recollect that there were numbers of path ways over those fields, which left every one who chose the benefit of air or exercise in them. If, however, there was any fear that the King's property might he injured, there might be, as he had before suggested, two gates erected—one at Baker.street, and another at the Rotunda,' to prevent improper persons from entering. It certainly must be considered hard that the public shmild be excluded, while the inhabitants of Cornwall Terrace were admitted, more particularly as the latter were wealthy persons, who generally spent one-half of the year out ot London{ and the petitioners stated that it was a severity upon them, living in that part of the metropolis, not to enjoy the same privileges as had been promised to those living in the vicinity of the Houses of Parliament, who had been assured the other night by one of the King's Ministers, that it was his Majesty's intention to throw open St. Japies's Park to the public. He therefore trusted that unless th& Marquis of Hert ford, Mr. Moberly, and th• other privileged individuals made out a very strong case, that the House would see that the public had fully as good a right as them to pass over the Park. Toe Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that the Petition be brought up. Mr. Secretary BOURNE said, that it was not in his power to give a full answer respecting the subject brought forward by the Hon. Gentleman, as it was not one connected with his department. He suspected, however, that, if the promise alluded to in the Petition had been made by Mr. Arbuthnot, it had not been carried into effect, from circumstances which were ob►ious; he meant the necessity that existed for having the Park effectually drained. It was well known tkat at present the soil was too soft to admit a nulls* of persons, without doing serious injury, and, until it was properly drained, it would be bad policy to have it laid open. With respect to the enjoyment now and formerly derived by the public, and speaking of the footpaths alluded to, he thought that the comparison was much in favour of the public at present, for certainly those paths could not have been so agreeable or convenient as the walks and drives which were now open to the pubic. Although he did not possess certain informa -1 tion, and, therefore, could not speak authoritatively upon the subject, he thought it only natural that those persons residing in Cornwall-terrace should have some peculiar enjoyments, from which the public were ex cluded, as it was very probable they contributed some thing for it, and, therefore, no unfavourable inference ought to be drawn, from 'those persons who lived op posite to the grounds being allowed to have access to them. Mr. MABERLY thought that he had reason to com plain of his name having been introduced into a dis cussion without the observance of the courtesy usual upon such occasions. The whole subject was misun derstood, and he much wished that the Hon. Gentleman had given an opportunity of inquiring into it upon mo tion, instead of making statements Irons a petition. The Regent's Park had been originally a farm, the property of the Crown. The Crown, however, and the Commis sioners, thought that the property could be much im proved, and the latter, accordingly, thought right to dispose of a great part of it. A plan had been c.anse quently prepared, which designated what parts were to be left open, and what closed, and an Act of Parlia ment was passed to sanction that plan. In that part which was left open, several excellent and convenient roads had been made, at the expense of the Crown, whereas, before, there had been only one path, and, therefore, the public had no more right to lo It for li berty to go over those lands which were cleared, than they had over what was otherwise disposed of, or over that House, and it would be now too late to tell persons who had invested their capital on the faith of those arrangements, that such a liberty was to be allowed. —He, himself, held land there under the Crown, by a lease for ninety-nine years, and a plan was attached to! his, as well as every other lease made; and by that plan it would be seen, that the Crown itself had not the power to erect a single building more than was therein specified. Of that he was certain, because Dr. South wished to erect an observatory opposite his door, and upon his communicating his desire to him, his (Mr. M.'s) answer was, that he - was sorry the Doctor could not do so, be cause neither he nor the Crown could build any thing there but villas. The Doctor was not, however, con vinced, and, in order to settle the question, a case was laid, upon the past of the Crown, before the Attorney and Solicitor General; and upon his (Mr. M.'s) pan, before Mr. Hart—and the answer to all was, that the Crown could nat build any thing but villas. With re spect it:abe land enclosed in the pask, it was let to him at a very high rent, not upon lease, to which his Majes ty h Id an objection, but upon an understanding from the Treasury, that he would not be turned oat. The Treasury could get no higher rent for it, and he assured the House, that so far as emolument was concerned, they were perfectly welcome to have it back again. He would be no party to any public meeting on the sub ject, and he did not conceive that the question was, whether the ground was wet or dry? but whether the Crown could - do away with a plan which had been guaranteed by Act of Parliament ? As far, however, as he was individually concerned, he would offer no op position to any measure which might be proposed. Mr. HUME said, that he having, in compliance with wishes expressed to him, put questions privately to Mr. Arbuthnot upon this subject, he had of erwatds put them to him in the House, and received the same answer which was given by the Right Honourable Gentleman in his office, viz, that when the Park was in such a state that it could be done without injury to the soil, and that the young trees ran no danger ot dilapi dation or waste, it would be thrown open to the public. .So far a, related to the limitations about buildings, he coincided its what had been said; but he should cer tainly say, that there was no hesitation on the part of Mr. Arbuthnot in declaring, that, as tom as the drain ing was completed, the Park should be thrown open. Under that public promise, he hoped that the Givern ment would take care ot its fulfilment by the public tact:3 who had the care ot that department. Mr. W. SMITH Laid, it was we►l known that the original intention was, when the Park was 1441 out, that the whole should be dotted with riil.n , althouel, of late some change, and, as he thought, for the tway i was introduced. Colonel TRENCH was of opinion t h at Opening tho Park in its present state would be p remature. Mr. RARING thought that the P ar k, as it q od at present, was both an o rna m e n t an d a h enefit roe popu, latioa so immense and extensive a s i t h id become Wthat part of the metropol;s. H e wou ld always give every enjoyment to the great mass o f the people ; b ut he doubted very ninth whether if the whole population were allowed to run all over the Palk, such a cou rse would not tend to des.roy its beauty and their n enjoyment. He therefore hoped that the Noble Lord at the head of the Department of %Vo .ds and Forests would not be induced,. by any excitement cAused by any thing which might take place in that House, to do what might be the means of destrojing the gen era % benefit and enjoyment. that he did nnt wish to interfere Mr. HoBHOUSE replied, and thought that Mr. Arbuthee's which some difference of opinion " sa g s . o f opening the Park might be fulfilled without 'Hawin g the rights of individuals: said Mr. CANNING ts'oubeizeci w h a e wits really best to be done, and that exist, upon rtrough he was certain that the Crown onlseemedy upon studied a the only difficulty that exited upon the subject was, as to the mode, and on the adoption of which the most benefit would arise. He, thought, however, there was an objection to the reception of the present Petition, which was avowedly grounded on, and assumed to re. fir to, as answer given by a Adiniqer of the Crown to a question put in the la,t Parliament. Mr. HOSHOUSE admitted the validity of tie objection, and withdrew the Petition. WJIOHTS AND MEASURVI. tw l.o os rd ues S t ir ma A s N o L f E t h Y said, that e Right Hon. wis!sed to a Secretary fortik the e o H n o e more Department, upon subjects which were by of th g e re pa a nr t et ; portance to the county to which he belonged. One of them was with respect to the weights and meisures. The standard measerre for coals was, Act, to be the bushel of 803)s. avoirdupois, inch*, in circumference, heaped up in .he shape of a cone. In many of the coal mines such measures were used, but there were some in which no measure not of an oblong shape could be used, and from the use of such miners were precluded by the present Act. He should therefore only ask, whether miners were not to be allow* to wort • in such a manner as they could? Hi; other question related to the expense of vagrant pales. Press a document he held in his hand, it appeared that 3.310 persons were sent on passes through the county of - Lancaster to Ireland, between the months nl June and November last, and they, on an average-, cost the county 95. - 6 J. each, with 6J. additional, if they were detained in Liverpool one night. Formerly 2s. were paid fertile passage of each pauper, but now the masters of vessels, Ending that the Magistrates had no power to compel them, refused to take them at so low a price; and noir the demand was Ss. 6d. a bead, not for aliults aline, but for all, even children at the breast. He wished, therefore, that the county and the kingdom could be afforded some relief in this respect, and gave notice, that, if no person more competent to the task undertook it, he would bring forward some measure for the psi pose next Session. Mr. Secretary BOURNE said, that he thought t h at part of the Act, which made the use of the measure alluded to, in every ease imperative, ouet to be co , • rected, more especially as Magistrates were left no dir. cretinnary power. The other question was one of a very important nature, which he individually thought he saw his way out of. It should be recollectedothat when this practice of sending paupers to Ireland corn menced, it arose out of the recommendation of a Select Committee, who could fix on no other means, than that of passing such persons to that pats of the Kingdom to which they belonged. If any other means could be found, the Government would not be found 'lnc to adopt them, and would be most obliged to the Noble Lord for any information upon the subject. There war a peculiar difficulty attending it, as there was no officer in Ireland to whom such a charge could be transferred; and he thought it must always result, that so long as there was provision made for the poor in one part of the Empire, while there was none its the other,there would always be an influx from the latter to the former. Lord J. RUSSELL brought up the Report from the Seim Committee on Criminal Commitments. _ Lord J. TH YN NE presented a Petition from certain 31embert of the Royal College sit Surgeons, complaining of the present regu lations and by-laws which govern that body. After a few observations from klr. DICK/811014 it wasordered to lie on the table. Mr. S. RICE presented a Petition from the !uteri Of Rand. earthy, praying for an alteration in the Distillery Lawa.—Orderol to lie on the table. lIRANCIII •Asl. Mr. LITTLETON, seeing the Secretary of the Treasury ic his place, would avail himself of the present opportunity to put to Dim a question relative to the Compensation Money paid by the Bank of England to the Government, in lieu of stamp duties upon cooft try notes and bills issued by the Branch Banks. He merely witeri to know whether the amount of the Compensation Money W.1..16 ,1 to what the Government would have received, had the ILIA c` England been compelled.like country balker', to stamfitheir cola issued by the Branch Banks? Mr. HERRIES said, that it was his impression, that tie rare of aompensation was by no' MIMS in favour of the Bank: It ins rather hesvier than the stamp duty would have been. IMTBASSaiIIMe 01 WARILY. Mr. HUME said, that it afforded him lithriCtioll to preens to the House a Padden, very numerously signed by the Sea.r.er of Durham, against the practice of Impressment. He fully concurred in the prayer of the Petition; and he thought, if there ever was s time, the present was the most convenient to take the subject of Impressment into consideration, with a view to die abolition o f .o odious a system. The Petitioners stated, that if, in the event of a war, tbe practice of impressing seamen were to be renewed, rather than submit to It, they would leave the country, and seek employment art• der the lag of a foreign Power. Impressment was rendered neces sary only by the exceedingly harsh treatment of the seamen ue board of ships of war, which rendered them averse to enter the King's service. The Petitioners complained that seamen ou 1t05r.1 of ships of war were subject to an unnecessary severity of iliscipinies and exposed to an extreme degree of corporal punishment, without trial, and at the caprice or according to the passions of thou also Itemised the supreme power on board. He thought it but rizb: to state his opinion, that a'though the practice of corporal Owlish , Men( to a very great extent may have formerly existed, at Frew: Was placed under considerable restraint, and under wholesome t" gelation. If he could obtain in the next Se•sion of Parliam ent 4 return of corporal punishments indicted in the Navy without Courts Martial or trial of any sort, it would appear that a very con siderable reduction had recently been male in the numser of inSictioa l • Mr. J.
