The Duke of RICHMOND presented a Petition signed by 06 persons in the Southern Division of the County of Basses, chiefly Occupiers and Owners of Land, praying that the Importa tion of foreign Corn should not be allowed. The Petitioners stated that the result of the admission of foreign Corn Into the country would be their ruin, and chat of agriculturists in general. The Earl of Lit UD ER DA LE deprerAtod any attempt to intro duce the discussion of the Corn Laws, at a moment when his Ma jesty's hlinisters were engaged in other important measures con nected with the commercial distresses of the country. This was not the time los:addressing Parliament upon the subject, the more so, as a pledge had been given oo the part of Government that it would not be introduced in the course of the present Seuitsin The Drike of RICHMOND stated that the Petitioners, reeling they bad a great Ariake at issue, and that Dadra had been Overstay The Earl of LAUDERDALE wrst,ed to call the ' attention or the House to the situation in which it stood with respect . to the important discussion whi..ll was to take place to-morrow. Several Noble L ‘rds had moved for information which it was of great moment that they and the public should have, acrd yet the greater part of that information had not yet ben produced , or like that moved for by a Noble Friend of his, , had been so lately brought down that it was impossible it shoeld l be ia its perfect state in the hands of their Lordships before they came to the discussion to•morrow.—(Here the Marquis of LatkinDoWS said that some of it would be ready) —That for which he (the Earl of Lauderdale) bad moved would not be on the table. Now he would put it to the Nobly Earl opposite, whether,• in the fate of the country, he could come to the decision of so important a question before the House and the 'public had bad a decent time to Famine and digest the information produced. He implored that Noble Earl not to push on a measure with so much rapidity, which would create disturbances throughout the country. The Earl of LIVERPOOL . stated that a considerable part of the informati n had been some days befo.e the House and was printed. It was true that the &nu rne:nts moved for by the Noble Marquis opposite had only been produced that day, but the reason of this delay, was, as I e had anticipated at the time, the vo luminous Returns called for by another Noble Lord, which had augmented the labiurs of the Bank in pro curing the whole. But the subject to be discussed to morrow was one of general notoriety. It had been treated of in books and debated in another place. He could see no ground, therefore, for putting off the question.' The Noble Earl must remember, besides, that it was not the ultimatedecision, but the opening of - the dis cussion, which was to come on to-morrow. There would be abet stases whe re it might be repeatedly considered. He was always ready to Live way to the House when it was a matter .f personal convenience; but the more agitation prevailed epee this subject, as the Noble Bari bad said, the more necessary was it that it should be promptly allayed by full, and fair discussion. Delay would create inuch greater inconvenience. It was not his intention, besides, mirrors the ' progress of the measure with any particular rapidity, or in any Manner which would not Ward the fullest opportunity for discussion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE, though , he had sat for forty years in that House, had been taught this clay a lesson by the Noble Earl which he had not known . before. He hid been informed that the second reading of a Bill was only the opening of a measure : now he had always understood, and he had heard the Nubile Earl himself declare it, that the sewnd reading was the stage on which the principle of a measure was decided upon, and that if it passed through that stage no further opposition was to be expected. It war not personal convenience that he was consulting, for he was equally ready to commence the ctiscuulen this day as well as to-morrow; but it was of great importance the public should 'know that the House was well informed, and had well digested the subject on which it was about to legislate. As far as he was concerned be should take care that they should be wen informed. The Noble Bad tileeght that nothing was more important than to open the Mammies, and that agitation would be allayed. Now so far from OWN gebildne be (Lord Lauderdale) was convinced that the the mintiest would render the public ten times more The Marquis of LANSDOWN should regret any circumstance which would prevent the Noble Earl op posite from explaining the views of his Majesty's Go vernment to-morrow, as he and the country were anxious to know them. He should now put a question to that Noble Earl, leaving it to his convenience to answer it at present or to embrace it in the course of his state ment tomorrow. He wished to know the nature and extent •f a most important arrangemement which he understood kh Majesty's Government had entered Into with the Dank ter the purpose of making future advances to that establishment in proportion to the purchases which it was making of Government Semites. He hoped that the Noble Earl would have no objec tion to state the substance of that arrangement. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no difficulty in stat ing it generally this evening, reserving the explanatioa of the grounds on which the measure was founded for to-morrow. Their Lordships must be aware that a number of projects had been afloat to relieve the pre• sent commercial distresses, but chiefly by the issue of Exchequer Bills. To this he had thought it his duty to give a positive refthal. Being anxious, however, that relief should be afforded in the present state of the money-market, his Majesty's Government had stated to the Bank, that if it would M far come forward as to take a err tails proportion of outstanding Exchequer Bills, they would submit to Parliament the expediency of relieving it to that extent. The amount in view was two millions of Exchequer BUb, which Par liament would be called upon to repay to the Bank, in order net to knee it exposed to any inconvenience. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE inquired whether the sum was limited to two millions, or might be carried to a greater amount? The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated that it might be for the con sideration of Parliament whether the sum should be carried further, but that the proposition had only gone to the extent of two millions. The Marquis of Lakustiowst—" And no more?" The Earl of Livuareox bowed assent. Mr. Breams Rice add others brought • Message from the Com mons requesting a copy of the Report of the Committee appointed ►y their Lordships last year to inquire into the state of Ireland, and particularly Into that of the disturbed districts. The question having been put by the blab CARA WILEOI4 and decided in the afirmative, a copy of the Report was immediately delivered.--Adjoarned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Alderman CROWIIIIIM, the Sheriff of London, pretested the Petition of the Lord 'layer. Aldermen, and Corporation of the City df London. praying for leave to bring in a Bin for granting the sum of £42,000 fur enlarging the carriagrrendfoot-ways dons din now London Bridge. now building over the name*. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a Petition from the same Cor poration praying for leave to bring in a Bill (or the erection of a Bridge over Deptford Crack, for the purpose of connecting the pa rkltes of Deptford and Greenwich.—Both Petitions were ordered to be referred to a Committee. Colonel STRUTT presented Petitions front notate Inhabitants of the Towns of Braionee, thezted, pocking, end -Weraebessaeld, in &sex. against • the eurtinsanee 44 Slavery hi the West When Colonies. Sir JOHN NEWPORT had in the last Session drawn the attention of the House to the mode in which the Parish and Church Rates had been collected in Ire land. A measure on this subject, which of iginated in that House to correct the evils of the system, he was sorry to see, had been stripped of every clause in the other House, which could control the existing abuses irs the collection of parish rates in het inf. Salaries never, by possibility, contemplated, had been given to Church officers, so as, in fact, to increase the rates.. The House would be surprised to learn that the sum mary mode of appealing against overcharges for rates was entirely omitted in the Bill. The rate of the parish clerk's salary bad been proposed to be li mited to ten pounds, whereas the average rate in most towns amounted to twenty pounds. In one place a house had been built for the clef k, and another for the sexton, at an expense, of 4304 out of the parish rates. This, it should be recollect d, was mostly paid by Roman Catholics. Esven charges were made on those persons for a throne for the Bishop, a dress suit for him, besides his c atonic:its. Parish servants of various kinds were charged agaiast the parishioners, whether Catholics or Protestants, at 201. or even 301. a year. Similar charges were in %tie for female servants to attend on the congregation. In one instance they voted 1491. to the clergyman for minor services, as lec turer andleacher, where the regular salary was not more than Nei. a•year. ' This was so great a departure from the object of the Bill which ' had gone through their House, and so contrary to the spirit which prompted the measure, that he thought it was necessary the Home shothd mark its sense of the extreme impropriety and neglig. actin the enactments of this Bill by a resolution which Le should read at the conclusion in his speed:. He was the more induced to make this application to the House, because the Irish Government, and also the Right Hon. Geodesist's in his place, had expressed a de:ermination to regulate the imposition of the Church rates according to a fixed and invariable rule through out all the parishes in Ireland, so as that they should all have a commim standard by which they might be re gulated. He must confess he felt pleasure in admitting, foe the sake of his Protestant fellow-countrymen in some parishes in Ireland, that there were semi congregations of Protestants who were perfectly indignant at the practice, and had insisted. on ex empting the Catholie part of the palish from any pan of the ex pense of maintaining either the Clerk or the S :tom And in some instances the Clergymta himself had insisted on bearing the 'spent* out of his own limited stipend of the Sacramental bread and wine. The Hon. Baronet cooeluded his speech by moving as a Resolution, A That from detailed returns which had been laid on the table of the House, it appeared that large sums of money were kited on account of Church Rates which were not warrranted, end that salaries were granted thereout to Parish Officers, contrary to ind prohibited by Statute regulation." Lord ALTHOItP rose to second the motion. It had been said by the Right Honourable Gentleman last year, that it was the intention of the Government to follow up the measure of last Session with a series of measures which should remedy the defects still cont. plained of. It was high time now-that Government should have made up its mind as to its intentions, and that the House should be made acquainted with there. What the Right Honourable Gentleman might have to proptiae, paudidy was very excellent; but there - might be something mg genial by other Members, which would be still more deskilkile. kno should therefore beg the Right Honourable Gentleman to stair, before he made his objections to the modon, what were the mea sures of relict resolved on by the Irish Gownsman& foe ameliorat ing the condition of that comely. Mr. UOULBURN said, before he shr utd enter into the reasons for his opposition to the press .t motion, he should enter into a rather detailed consideration of the different heads of recommendation contained io the Report of the Committee which sat.on this subject. The first recommendation be should have no otcasioo serve on, further than td state his entire satisfaction mid that of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, with the salutary operation of the measure founded on the recommendation of the arrangement fur the composition of ti hes in Ire land. So salutary and satisfactory had that been found by the public, that last ) ear there were 259 comp nitiens agreed on, while in the present there were not less ti.an 676 completed, forming one-fourth of the *hole parishes of It eland. Nor were the effects of th-te compo sitions confined to these parishes alone, but t! ey had es tended themselves beneficially throughout other pat isles, SQ as to occasion an amicable adjustment of tithe ques tions amongst themselves and the impropriat'rs. A citconhtaace resulting from this fact was worthy of mention, as a proof of its tendency to improve the cos. ditien of the people, and secure the' public petc, . It was the Growth of feelings of good will manikstcd by the result of the last Quarter Sessions for the county of Cork, where it was found this al:elation in the law bad djusinished the cation fully one half of their former number. The constitution of the Manor Courts had
