He was ambleffilkit k must be *Amen, so ike redectius at IMO inks a bushel in look would' go bat a little way indeed - towards re dressing the tural body. it might bawd adked some re. Oo districts, but k wisuld realty do but littio towards taking away the burdeas of the geeettdltedy of agriculturists. Be thought, then, that in order to accomplish the 'necessary end of relieving agricultural di trees a great deal more in the way of reduction must take place, p articularlyl in those duties of universal operation. Amongst this class of dudes, that on salt was one of the most oppressive. That this country could ever have submitted to the imposition of a duty on salt, appeared to him wholly unaccountable ' for, next to bread and water, it was an article of vital necessity. It was said that much relief might be the consequence of taking off the duty on salt used in the curing of fish ; but any one who understood the minute details of the process must be aware that a measure of this nature would, in the end, prove of little value. He eater- tainO the fullest confidence in the disposition of Ministers to fustier every measure of economy—a confidence which he hoped they would continue to deserve, by listening to the une. quivocal voice of the people, as expressed in a number of Meet ings, calling aloud for retrenchment to the Icrwest standard that the public expenditure could be reduced. He was sure that, in order to give effectual relief, it would be necessary to take off a feather amount of duty on malt—to reduce the duty on salt, and matte, at least, some new regulation for the equalization of the duty on leather ; for, as It was now laid au, being at a rate of siapnom- per pound, ise poor man, contrary to every just pria el* of taxation, was compelled to con trib ute more than the rick man. He hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would tithe into consideration the means of immediately regu lating-this uneven pressure on the poor man. He congratulated the Ministers on the accession of strength which they had re ceived by the late appointments of some of the Hon. Members who usually sat on the other side. lie hoped that those Hon. Gentlemen, who had shorn sometimes a strong disposition to lower the public expenditure—and on no occasion did they mote ardently manifest their wishes than on the occasion when the re duction in the number of the Lords or the Admiralty was brought under the attention of the Hasse.—be hoped, he said, that those Gentlemen would not relax in their efforts to produce suck a diminution of the public burdens—which might be done in several departments, particularly in that of the Civil List—as I would. consistently with the safety of the State, give relief to the distressed classes of the people—(Hear). He could point out a few safe and efficacious means, which would tend to in demnify the Ministers for the loss of a part of the revenue. He saw every year the Chancellor of the Exchequer propose the renewal of the Lotteries. Now, where was the consistency of openly sonedening Lotteries, an d allowing penalties to be de omitted in their Statute-book against the practice of unlawful games? What was this, then, but declaring that the rich man shall not be at liberty to waste away his fortune, and at the same time inviting the poor man to ruin himself, by holding out the constant temptation of gain? Either have they a right to abolish 'the Lottery system altogether, or make the gaming -houses, as they were in other countries, contribute to the necessities of the State.—. The Petition was laid on the table. Mr. DAVENPORT presented a Petition from certain Landowners of the County Palatine of Chester, praying for re lief, especially by great reductions in the public burdens. The Hon. Meinber stated his concurrence in the views of the Peti tioners.—The Petition was laid on the table. Mr. DENISON gave notice of a ovation for the 7th of March, to revise the Acts of the Ist George I. and the 57th George 111. relative to law charges. The Hon. Member stated, that It the last Spring Assizes at Kingston, there were eleven actions to recover the sum of £69 7s. 6d. the law expenses of which amounted to (1 106 9s. 10d. and that at the loot Summer As sizes at Croydon, four actions for the recovery of £7 6s. sd. cost in law expenses. £551 6s. Id. Mr.WO DEH OUSE presented a Petition from certain owners and occupiers of land in the eastern part of the Isle of Ely.— Ordered to be printed. Mr. DEN MA N presented a Petition from Mr. R. G. Butt, a person who bad been imprisoned fot a libel upon the Noble Marquis opposite. He then brought actions against Mr. Co nant, the Magistrate upon whose warrant he was committed to prison, and Mr. Brown, the Keeper of Newgate, for receiving hint upon the warrant. For the expenses of these actions be had been committed to Whitrcross.street Prison, where he had been one and twenty months. The Petitioner slated his belief that the Magistrate and Keeper of Newpte had not paid the costs of the actions, but had been Indemnified by the Government. Now, if this were correct, he should like to know from what purse the indemnification had been made ? It was a matter that required the grave consideration of the House. He should now move that the Petition do lie upon the table, and he hoped that it would be rendered unnecessary to trouble the House further with the subject, by releasing the Petitioner from prison. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL thought it right to let the House know the situation in which the Petitioner stood. He was one of the party in that fraud in which a late Member of of that Hostile was also concerned, and of which they were found guilty by a special jury of merchants. He was thereupon see. tenced to imprisonment by the Court of King's Bench, and it was for libels upon Lord Ellenhoroogh, then Lord (fief Jess dee, in consequence of the sentence, as well as upon the Noble Marquis near him, that the warrant of the Magistr4te was is. sued. These libels were published in the most offensive way, namely, being posted in conspicuous placards all over the town. Had Mr. Batt's object been merely to try the question of right, be needed not to have brought two actions, as that question would be, and was set at rest by the decision In the action against Sir N. Conant. As to the indemnity alluded to by Els Hon. and Learned Friend, and upon which so much stress had been laid, it was but natural and just, that an officer ' placed As the si tuation of Sir N. Conant, should look to the Government for indemnity. If Mr. Butt could pay the costs in question, there was no reason that the public purse should lose them ; and if be could not, there was no reason why be should net take the usual course, and apply for the benefit of the Insolvent Act. Thse Petition being brought up, read, and ordered to lie on the table, Mr. DENMAN moved that it be printed, and said that be bad not known that Mr. Butt was in prison for the libels in tines. tion, though be had heard of that Gentleman's commitment for them.

Member in his opin n, that it would be desirable to find another building, or at least to increase the size of the present one. There was great inconvenience, and even danger to many of the valuable articles in the Museum, in consequence of the present limited sloe of the building. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL said, there could be no question that all must desire to see the collection in the British Iluseurn deposited in a safe and proper place. The present pro ceeding was altogether amicable, for the mere purpose of setting the rights of the plinks at rest. Mr. ABERCROMBY thought that even if the question should be decided in favour of the Trustees of the Museum, It might be expedient to consider the propriety of er cting a new building altogether; but be feared the legal discussion would not be concluded in sufficient time to enable the House to do any thing effeetu ped al during the present Sessi oo .—Th e conversation op here dr. Mr. LEN NARD postponed his notice of motion for the re duction of the expenses of the Civil List, from Friday next, to the 117th inst. MR. HUNT. Mr. HUME presented a Petition signed by four or five thousand inhabitants of Preston and its vicinity, praying that part of the sentence of Mr; Hunt might be remitted. The Hon. Member stated that he had written to Mr. Hunt to ascertain the truth of the con tents of the Petition, and that be had confirmed it.— The Petition contained the same complaints as that presented to the House a few nights ago, as to Mr. Hunt being denied to see his surgeon and solicitor, and being put into solitary confinement. The Hon. Member then stated, that be was quite convinced by the arguments of the Hon. and Learned Member for Nottingham (Mr. Denman), that the Manchester Meet ing was a legal Meeting, and that Mr. Hunt was un justly punished. He believed that no Judges, since the days of Judge Jefferies, had pronounced sentences of such severity as those which had been passed within ,the last two or three years. The Hon. Member then proceeded to-describe the sentence of Mr. ' Hunt as being tyrannical, and calculated to bring the laws into contempt. Seeing the Hon. and Learned Solici• tor-General in his place, he wished to ask him if Ma gistrates had the power by law to change simple con finement to solitary confinement, against the express declaration of the Judge? If so, they had the power to hang a man who had been sentenced to imprison ment! He knew he should be told, as upon former occasions, that the Magistrates of the county of So. merset were honourable and humane men. He would deny the fact. It was neither humane nor just to act towards a man as they had acted towards Mr. Hunt. It was acting regardless of public justice and the li berties of the People. The H on . Member then read parts of the Petition, in one of which the Magistrates were charged with malicious and capricious motives in their treatment of Mr. Hunt. He concurred in all the views of the Petition. Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE did not rise to op pose the reception of the Petition, but to protest against the imputation of malicious or capricious mo tives to the Magistracy of. the county of Somerset.— It was quite impossible that men of their character could act from such motives ; and he did think it ex ceedingly hard that they should be exposed to such charges. It would be well for the House to set its face against such Petitions as the present, and al though he did not object to its being brought up, he hoped that some mark of the disapprobation of the House would be manifested. He would tell the Hon. Member for Aberdeen, that there had been no malice entertained towards the prisoner, and that he never had been in solitary confinement. When he was first there, indulgences were granted to him which no pri soner in his situation ever possessed ; and that had been the cause of all the complaints and abuse now directed against the Magistrates. It was peculiarly hard that they should be subjected to such attacks for the performance of a painful duty, in enforcing roles and regulations which had been sanctioned and ordered by the highest authority. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL certainly felt it necessary, in consequence of what had just past, to address a few words to the llcthe. It was a remark able circumstance that the Hon. Member for Abe:. deen had chosen to repeat to the House an attack upon the Magistrates of the County of Somerset, which was made some days ago. He (the Solicitor- General) at that time stated, that en application had been made to the Court of King's Bench, and that inquiries were actually being made. When that ap plication was made to the Judges, whom the Hon. Member for Aberdeen had so scandalously I.belled—. (Cheers)—the application came in an irregular manner, being without the usual affidavits. The Judges, however, immediately met, and gave the • necessary orders for procuring those affidavits, and for taking the regular steps in such cases. Notwith standing this, however, Mr. Hunt bad taken no step s whatever, and nothing more bad been heard of him. k remained, therefore, for the House to conclude that his complaints were at limn exaggerated, /mut --•••• to WS• peed its judgment until the proper investig at i on neon oath ha&tish - en place.

We copy the following from a New Mislead Paper of the 14th January The manufactures of New Inglond have advanced during the past year, in a ratio far exceeding the most eager anticipation of the friends of domestic industry. It is a fact worthy of notice, that some of the very individual mer chants, dealers in British cloths, who in Boston raised Jigs during the war, as indicative of their determination to resist the Government In prosecuting measures which should prevent an unrestricted trade with Great &halo—some of the same mer chants who scouted the idea of American manufactures-4re now Investing theft money for the erection of large cotton and woollen factories." Letters from Batavia' of the 9th November, mend= that the Sugar crops had entirely failed. Letters were received this morning from Odessa to the 25th ult. but comain no politics. Some large order., however, for shipments to that port have been received, which is considered a freconable Indication of the state of affairs. During this week there has been some improvement in West India produce. Coffee is 3s.itearer, and is in request for home consumption. Sugar is also a shade dearer for the same purpose. It is understood that an arrangement of great importance between the American Minister and our Government, is on the point of being concluded, by which there will in future he a direct com munication between America and our West India Colonies. This is a part of the intended alteration in our Navigation Laws, and will be of great advantage to the West India Proprietors. Pi. mento is a good deal dearer, and even Rum is a little higher in consequence of the prospect of this additional outlet. An Act of Parliament must, however, be obtained, before the arrangement can be carried into execution. It is generally thought that the reduction in the Mak Duty will not take place before the sth of July, and eaneripaently there has been a great damp thrown on the sales of Malt, neither the *ewer nor the Maltster knowing exactly what the duty at pre sent is. The former will only therefore buy from necessity until he knows when the reduction is actually to take place. Baltic produce is very dull. Tallow is rather on the decline, and is nominally quoted at 55 to 57. Irish provisions (beef and pork) are without any alteration. The request for bacon has revived; prime at 355. The ronti. nued mildness prevents any improvement in batten; the quan tity of inferior Irish presses on the market, and the prices must be quoted es. to 4s. lower. There is very little business doing in tobacco; the late prices are, however, maintained. It is diffi cult to give correct quotations of yellow candle tallow, on ac count of the few purchases lately, the extender holders and spe culators demand 58e. but the nearest quotation is 565. the spe culators have been much disappointed, no duty being yet re. pealed, nor any discussion in Parliament even upon the probabi lity of such a measure.
