TRENCH contended that the interests of Ireland were , tlreply affected by the proposed change in the Corn Laws. Lord A LT Holt la opposed the motion. Colonel DAVIES said; he should support the proposition of Mi nisters, but would prefer a bnal adjustment.of the Corn Laws. Mr. DENETT said, he still felt all his opposition to the measure,, 'l4 , tire Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had so skilfully thrown dust in the eyes of the country Gentlemen that he knew it wain vain to argue it—.(A laugh). fir W. W. WYNN supported the motion. • Nr. W. WHITMORE supported the motion, but thought Mi. sister* had not acted with a sound discretion, by refusing to take lart.consideration!he whole qucetion of the Corn Laws. Lord MILTON shosid nut oppose the motion, but thought the question of the Corn Laws ought to have been fully gone into ; and he was confident, if the country Gentlemen would apply their minds to the subject , they would discover that their present opinions were erroneous, and that their interests were identified with those of all other classes = ( Gear, hear.) He hailed the present. measure as the harbinger of one that would settle :he question, of the Corn Laws, Which he thought ought to be done in the . preeent Session—(Hear.) Mr. CA LC KA F said he could not entristito that there was any cause to apprehend a scarcity of corn, wails was new 7s. a quartet lower than at this time last year. But he could net set up his nom opinion against that of Aliniiters, and therefore could not refuse them the rtKpon-ihility they were voi willing to take on themselves. Mr. T. WILSON offered a few remarks, which were inaudible from the loud cries of ,4 Question!" _ Sir F- EN A 'ICH BULL Would not then discuss the question, Si many opportynitial would.present themselves for enquiring into its details. He wished the Ministers to bear in mind that the duties on Corn and Flour did not bear a relative proportion—it was worth di tending to. Mr. H. SUMNER wished to know what duties would be placed en the Corn and Flour. Mr. CA NNING answered, none higher than those under the Act. Mr. HEATHCOTE did not wish for a division its the present stage of the measure. Sir R. HERON was for a division, and would divide the Hasse as long as there was a second Member in it. The Gallery was cleared for a division, after a few words from Sir. R. WiLitatts and Sir T. Balsams, who were against it; but no division took place, and the Resolution was agreed to. On our readmission to the Gallery, we found Mr. Belau: moving the recommittal of the Debtor and Creditor Arrangement Uill, which was agreed to. The Registration Alien Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Yorkshire Election Bill was read a third time, and passed. IRISH PRISONS' LAWS RILL. Mr. S. RICE oSjectel to an encreased salary given to the In spector-General of Prisons, and moved an amendment, to reduce the salary of 1,3001. to 1,0031. a year. Mr. HUME supported the amendment. Mr. GOULBURN considered the amount of salary given in the Bill no more titan was absolutely necessary for the purpose of having the duties imposed on the Inspector properly discharged. The real salary of this office was not mote than ftool. a year. The rest of the suns went to defray travelling and other ripeness. The House then divided on the amendment— For the amendment Against it Majority against the Amendment —2O On our return to. the Gallery we found Mr. Haws objecting to the principle of thq &M:3. It was a degradation to the Gentlemen of Ireland to bayelqspectors of Prisons.

Sccre•ary PEEL said he bad feeling as honest as the Hon. blentbsr, and he did not consider the Bill as containing any impro. per provision.

The Courier Frivrefais of Wednesday contains a letter from it solooghi, dated the 7th of April, the authenticity of which the Editor says he does not doubt. This letter, which is from Mr. L—, confounding a Greek battalion, to his wife in Paris, if true, ' leaves no doubt of the death of the Egyptian Leader and the complete triumph of the besieged. This letter states, that on the 24th March, 111issolonghi was attacked at all points by the barba rians, commanded by lacunas PACICA, who had overthrown a part of the fortifications, but at length the Egyptians and others were repulsed, and in part burnt, with their boats. The besiegers having advanced to atti-mpt to storm the place, were again repulsed, when hustings rushed forward at the head ials troops, hoping to revive their courage. A Greek, who recognised him, fired his musket at him, from which he received a wound of whi ch he died a few days afterwards. The letter adds that Niels non PACHAW.II taken priNoner.

It will be seen, by our communications from Lanca shire, that insubordination has taken a new turn, and that, whik a greet body of operatives have been unable to procure work, some of those who have hill employment, are striking for higher wages. if, however, the masters are firm, they will find industrious men enough to supply their places. It appears by accounts from Dudley, that some symptoms of discontent have been manifested among the workmen in the nail; trade, on account of the masters lowering their wages. PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. " MAPCIIIIKTRA, TARIAIDAT ILIIKING, 10 O'CLOCK, MAT 4. " Since I addressed you this morning, it being market day, we have bad from various parts of the country several manufacturers and merchants. At Itoyton, Bolton, Hyde, Ashton, Radcliffe, and Bury, all is mike. At the last town a public meeting. took place yesterday, and several praiseworthy resolutions were adopted respecting the present situation of public affalrs,the Corn Laws, Ste. All classes are severely suffering, and the calamity is daily increasing. Immediately after the. arrival of the London papers last evening, a public notice was published, dated Wednesday evening, and placed in front of the honees in the streets during the night, announcing his Msjesty's munificent donation, and the liberal sums that, had been contributed by others, for the relief of the sufferers in this neigh bourhood. It recorimends peaceable demeamper. " Before twelve o'chick this day I of a penny per lb. advance was asked for cotton, but I believe it was not obtained. I know some purchasetLat 6id. good bowded Georgia., being the old low price, three months' bEI on merchants in London, Ste. Good water twist, No. 24, has been sold at ISjci. cash payment, allowing the usual premium for prompt payment. I ant informed. by a respectable person resident in town, he saw one waggon with several persons prisoners peeling down Bridge -street, inwards the New Miley prison, their appearance was truly pitiable. Yesterday a number of arms were delivered from that place, and I have no doubt they will be placed in loyal hands, who love to defend their King, Country, and Laws, and who will use every means to recall the mliguided to their duty and intimidate the vicious. flaying re sided more than thirty years its Manchester, I have, during that period, seen with pleasing etsrpries its increase in business, in riches. in buildings, Ste. I know the* generaf disposition of our vast popu lation (look at it forty miles. round Mincheeter) to be loyal, and their character is Industrious almost to an extreme; they want no riot, they only want employment, and bread arising from their labour. I have no doubt these suffering thousands will soon be peaceable. The news from London of the subscription opened there will give the sincerest satisfaction to every lover of his country. As I before observed, the population is prodigious. We cull/ want a little money spit a little cooadence in each other. Englishmen are still.tbe same,tbeir habits, their industry, and their spirit:, I know are yet unbroken. Our gracious Sovereign heading the subscription with Two Thousand Pounds will embalm his be nevolence in the hearts of his faithful but suffering subjectirin this part of the kingdom ; the respectable names and aunts that foUow will be highly gratefuL . The proceedings in Parliament are truly praiseworthy. We want bread, we want potatoes ; they are very high. I hope every city in the Kingdom will come forevard with their subscriptions, and every church and chapel with its congre gational collection. By the destruction of their looms, many more are out of work. The power of the pen is strong, and so is the power of the sword, but, alas ! Goo knows, the power of hunger is stronger th:tn both. Liverpool is already setting the example for handing assistance. I hop* in a few days Chester will do the tame. Our Boroughreeve and constables are men of the Wgitest character in every sense of the word." " FRIDAY MOANING, I OECLOCT, Mar S. N All Is tranquil here, and will. I trust, continue to be so. On Friday evening last, that elegant building, the New Town Hall, In King-street, was occupied by a portion of the infantry, a very proper precaution, which has been continued. A great number of special constables have during the week been sworn in ; no doubt many thousands more will be willing if wanted. Persons of a suitable age and proper character are of course admitted to that important office. The night has gone off quietly. A benefit this evening for the subscription fund, will take place at the Theatre, the play of the Stronger is selected. I fear they have had little w eek daring the week at that place of amusement, money here with all ranks being very scarce." /ROM THE BRADIoRD COURIZR. BIAOIIOIIO, MAT 4. At the attack on Mr. Horsfall's manufactory in this town, on Wednesday, when the reading of the Riot Act by Colonel Tem pest was finished, a man stepped forward from the crowd and demanded if he was to go home and starve? Upon this the blagistrate replied, that be was sorry for hls condition; and that If be would come to him to morrow he would relieve him, but that the present conduct of the rioters would, if successful, lead to the most ruinous consequences. After waiting a reasonable time, and the mob not dispersing, it wakdeemed advisable to send for the Yorkshire Hussars. These, were Immediately formed in the streets, and proceeded unripe', the command of Lord Grant ham to the scene of action; when after, a very little while the mob was dispersed,' chiefly by the special Vonstables, and with but very little interference on the part of the Military. Two of the rioters, William Bolton, of in this town, and John Holdsvrortb, Clayton, were apprehended, and' -V --_~ 6 ttrongitt blare the itagiatratel, the tee. L. C. Lister, Esq. and J. P. Tempest, Esq. 'the former was charged with being concerned in an attempt to destroy the nigh and aaacki nee/s anti for encouraging the people to the attack ; ind tae ether, Joins Holdsvrorth, charged with being concerned in the attack. These prisoners were sent of to York Castle late last night, model an armed escort. Other two persons were also apprehended, but afterwards dismissed, the evidence against them being defective. Nigh o'Ci.licx—A party of Infantry—Detachments from differ ent liniments, commanded by an Officer, bait just entered the town. Tee tiCtoce—We have just learnt that John o.4irstosw, who is 'opposed to be mortally wounded, has declared that he received his wound in the act of entering the MIL The special constables are at present patrolling the struts—the Hussars are in readiness—and the town is at present quite tranquil. lief.e.e.trr Tatt o'Ctecit--John Bairstow has just expired. Tutees...l Montano, Oxe o'CLocx—The special constables, on patre.e, have just returned to make their report to the Magistrates. At Messrs. Iforsefall's Mill all is quiet, and the town is tranquil.— To this account we think it right to add that we can state, front our own personal observation, that the attack began on the part of the populace. and in this assertion wo are borne out by the dying declarrion of Bairstow, to which there are several witnesses.— On Tuesday evening, a mob proceeded in a tumultuous manner to attempt forcing an entrance into Messrs. Statureld, Briggs, dad Stansfebt's mill, at Masts% They demanded that the gates should Le opened, whic4 was immediately complied with; but upon the crowd entering the court yard, and finding it thronged with an armed force, they immediately retreated, without effecting any thing. A book is at present open, lying in the travellers' rooms of the Sun and Talbot Inns, in which the Mercantile Gentlemen who visit this town have an opportunity of contributing any trifling sum for the relief of the poor ; and we arc happy to say, that various sums appear on their pages. Matienssrea, THVASDAY ESKIMO. Mar 4. The intelligence which has last arrived from the Metropolis re specting the munificent amount of the Subscription, has had an ex cellent effect upon the temper of the poorer classes generally, and the intended modification of the Corn Laws hap also been pro ductive of salutary consequences. I have endeavoured, without success, to obtain an accurate estimate of the unemployed artisans, but numbers in gross are very freely given : for instance, nearly 100,000 are stated to be out of work in Manchester and the ism.- d ate neighbourhood ; but when you pursue the inquiry from mill to mill, you cannot obtain data for any thing like such a result. With respect to the state of distress in this town, I find that, through the humanity of the inhabitants, means are found on the spot to give soup and other subsistence to about 13,000 weekly. I do not hear of any cases of starvation, nor do I believe that any of such a nature are occurring here. The most pinching distress, I rather think, will be found at Burnley,.at Blackburn, and at Mac clesfield and the neighbourhood, and it is due. to the unhappy suf ferers to state, that the accounts of commotion, among them have been very much exaggerated. About one o'clock this day, a number of fellows, amounting to near 900, paraded the town, In files of two each. Will it be believed, that the bulk of these fellows have " turned out" from some of the manufactories in this town, where the pro. prietors have been trying to keep their men together by subdividing the working days equitably among them, and that of the number were several who no later than yesterday were put upon six days' (that is, full) work, instead of four days as before? They are principally weavers, and the remainder spinners, who have taken advantage of some sudden orders for cotton twist, which they ridiculously think cannot be executed without their being consulted as to the terms. Of this precious group ninety-one are front the manufactory of Messrs. Clogg, Norris, and Co. in Winter -street ' all weavers, and many of them old and excellent hands. This firm employs above 900 men, and keeps 700 looms mostly at work, and the portion of weavers already mentioned suddenly struck work last night, and the remainder at different intervals this morning. Some of these men can earn 15s. or 16s. a week at the reduced prices, and others, of inferior skill, can only earn 7s. or gs. the average (sandings of the whole would be about 12s. 6d. a week each. The men is this manufactory, as well as in one or two others, ap pear to have quitted work by intimidation, and active pains are now taking in the hope of apprehending and prosecuting the delta quessts. The Pollee, I understand, are In pursuit of the principal offenders, and the evidence in support of this alleged intimidation will then be forthcoming. The separation of the really suffering poor, from the wantonly vicious and refractory, is essential in MlA &ring the application of the public relief. bl• NC If larelt, THURSDAY AFTIRSIOON, Two O'CLOCK. The intelligence brought by the London Papers respecting the proceedings in Parliament, and at the City Meeting. has had the 'effect of raising the spirits of the people here. The charitable and Ituniane runduct of his Majesty.meets with the warmest admi ration, and there is no class of people more loud in hip praise than the Radicals.—The only things which have occurred to cast any gloom upon the manufacturers and tradespeople here are the riots at Bradford, and the tirrn.uut in the power loom factories of Clogg and Norris, and the Oaf nil Road Twiit Company. In both of the above factories the win k•peopl.. have every night been engaged in guarding the property, and were consequently armed fur that purpose. The pretence of turning out is an advance of wages.— In the mean time the police are upon the alert, and soldiers are just pouring into the town. Sot o'Crarca.—l have just beard that Clogs and Notris have taken out summonses against the persons suspected of having intimidated their workmen to turn out. The firm has two factories. but In one of them a single individual only has left his employment. Last night, the House of Commons went into a Com mittee to consider on the proposed_ measure of enabling his Mo rmon, by Order in Council, to permit the importation of foreign grain under certain limitations. The postponement of the discussion on this subject has been of manifest advantage lo mitigating et dispelling the opposition which the measure provoked on a former evening. The Landholders, who, as Lord Brion would say, are the most timorous of Otto'e creatures, no sooner hear the words—" Corn Laws," " Dear Bread," " Foreign Grain," &c. mentioned, than they take tht alarm, and contending that there is no connexion between the high price of bread and public distress, protest against the slightest alteration in the existing laws. Last night, however, the acute and forcible reasoning of Mr. Secretary Caton a, and the clear and ex plicit arguments of Mr. Secretary Put., acted like a talisman on the House, and the proposed measure was permitted to go throtigh one Mate without a division. The Bill brought forward by Mr. Secretary Cameo is one of the most moderate propositions ever made by Ministers. It merely enables his MaaerrY, by Order-in Council, between the close of the present and the commencement of the next Session of Parliament, to permit the entry for home consumption of any quantity of ware housed foreign Wheat, not exceeding 500,000 quarters ; but such Order in Council is to be good for two months only. It has bets contended by some of the Members, that instead of Ministers arming themselves with a power thus limited, and for the doe retention of which they are responsible, that they should have waited till circumstances rendered it necessary to import foreign grain, and trust to an Act of Indemnity for their contravening' an calming law in permitting it ; this argument was ably refuted by 51r. Comma, who quoted history as a proof, how unwilling the House was to protect a popular administration on a similar occa sion, and be appealed to the House, if, after the spirit it had mani fested on the discussion of this measure, Ministers could rely on its indulgence. While we thus notice the sturdiness with which the. landed in terest clings to the existing Corn Laws, it gives us pleasitre to state that the proposed relaxation is already producing the happiest effects in the country. This will be seen both by the able and eloquent speech of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and by the let ten from Manchester, which will be found in another column. if posterity be not unjust, it will be said of his present Masestr that there was no English Km to whose disposition it was more alien to be severe, and to whom acts' of lenity and hu manity were more congenial!
