THE NATIONAL REGISTER CDRWEN said the noble Marquis's protecting duties did not go far enough t if it were intended that they should really protect the farmer they must go further. Lord EASTNOR supported the noble Marquis's pro. positions. Lord LONDONDERRY defended them, observing, that the opinion of the member fur Carlisle had " grow II " some the committee. lie was heretofore nearly satisfied with the protecting scale ; now he created difficulties, and wanted further protecting duties.

LiCENSINaI SYSTEM. _ _ Colonel PALM ER presented two petitions from the licensed victuallers at Bulb, against the present mode of licensing public houses, of the powers lodged in the hands of magisti ales, and of the holding of public houses by brewers. The victuallers were but too often at the mercy of the brewers, who, in consequence, frequently sold an inferior article, an article by which they doubted not the brewers gained 100 per cent. profit. Mr. DICKINSON observed, that lie tholigla there was no reason to complain of the magistrates of Somerset eh ire. Mr. BROUGHAM said, when the subject came to be investigated, he was persuad. d that much abuse would be imind to exist in the mode—the uncontrolled mode of granting licenses—for the withdrawing or refining of li censes might be done without assigning any reason. If dislike were taken, whether in consequence of a contested election, or any other cause, licenses might be refused without it being possible to ()Wain redress, provided the magistrates only kept their own counsel ;—if they did that, it was not in the power of man to proceed fur cor rupt motives; and there was no appeal—and, therefore, no remedy for such injuries. He trusted that the session would nut be allowed to pass away without something being done to correct the system.—(Hear, hear I ) Sir E. KN A Tel I HU LL ub d that of the abuses were to the extent contempl.ded, the system ought to be reformed. Alderman C. SMII, spoke of the injurious ►ffects of allowing brewers to hold publle.hoeses ; the 'Wicks pro vided b) them were too often of the worst quality. After some remarks from Mr N. CA LV LILT, which V 1 e tie not heard distinctly m the gallery, the petitions were received. . _ ..... Mr. SCOTT presented petitions from Unitarian dissenters of Bridport, and some other places in Sussex, complaining of portions of the present marriage cereuitniy, nod ',raying for an amendment ui the same. Read, and ordered to be piloted. Mr. MARKYATT presented a petition from persons in Leeds, concerned in the shipping interests, complitiniog of the Navigation Laws' Amendment 8011, and praying that it might not pass into a law.—Ordered to he printed. AGnrcuctuna Durtness.—Mr. CURTEIS presented a petition from the Eastern part of Essex, complaining of agricultural distress. He obv•rved, that so severe and ex , tensive was the distress, that it hole families were not only leaving their farms but the country ; and that the gently were compelled, tor. meat extent, to leave their Cornier residences and mansions. —(Hear.) Sir E. N.NATCHBULL spoke of the truth of this repre sentation ; and he bore test.:+nony to the fact mainly with the view of attracting the attention of the House to the necessity of affording immediate.relief.—(Heal.) Sir .1. SHELLS' said that there was little chance of relief being afforded exc. pt by a reduction of taxation. Sir T. LETHIMODUE again implored the House, though it was ime, not to antler any mote time to elapse without doing something to afford relief lie trusted that hon. members would see the alarming impostatice of the rotation, and would combine and compel the ... i . sisters to adopt measures that shootld give relief to the country. — 'liar petitioners complained of the heavy duty on hops, and well they might, for it amounted to hi. and the conse quent e was, that hops were a glut in the market. Mr. RICARDO tematked, that aloe wanted any further argument against the policy of protecting duties, one had just been afforded; for, notwithstanding the high duties, the hops were a glut iu the market; and yet the hon. Botonet was the individual who prominently called tor large protecting duties to relieve the fanners and corn dealers.—(Hear.) Petition read and ordered to lie printed. Petitious against the Catholic Peers' Bill were presented from St. Saviour's, Southwaik—from the Archdeacon and Clergy of the Diocese of Canterbury—fount the Episcopal clialtel of Long-acre—and a similar petition loom the corporation of Beverley .—Oudercd to be printed. Mr. BROUGH AM said that. but fur the accidental word " Etiolation," introduced tutu the tests, provided the indi viduals were natural born subjects, there was nothing to prevent the Mahometait Mold, or Jewish Ratibiea, from being elected as menthesa of that honer; ur preferred to the Upper House by the favour tot the Sore; eign. The 6 claim was vet y gi ouffillebs i but he leaved the winds w hiich could encourage such reasons for alarm, would not easily have the causes of alarm reninved. SirE.KN ATcti BULL thought it was not complimentary to the hon. and learned gentleman thus to meet the question; it merited more serious attention. Mr. BROUGHAM replied that he was perfectly serious; he really did not know of any reasons that shoald interfere with the persons to whom lie had alluded. TVTI4I", lunt.sun.—Mr. PLUNKETT gave notice of • motion for the 23d Inst. respecting the Tythes, we be lieve. He was imperfectly keend in the gallery. Mr. G. BENNET said, in consequence or the import. ant business that stood for this evening, lie should post pone his motion for leave to bring in a bill to alter and amend the law regarding the licensing of piddle houses. Mr. CANNING moved, that the Roman Catholic Were Bill be now read a second time. Mr. SMITH, who spoke from behind the Treasury Bench, said that lie could not support the Bill. Mr. WETHERELL also opposed the Bill, contending that it went to repeal what was one of the fundamental principles of the Protesteitt succession. He concluded by moving that the Bill be read • second time this day six months. Mr. Wilmot, Col. French, Mr. Courtenay, Dr. Philli. more, Mr. C. Wynn, and Lord Londonderry supported it. Mr. Secretary Peel and Mr. Peel opposed the Bill. Mr. CANNING replied in support of the Bill, amid the gallery was cleared for a division. For the Bill, 2 ti—For the amendment, 223-. Majority in fivour of the Bill. 12. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at hail-pact one o'clock to Monday. FROM TirESDAY T'S GAZETTE. BANT..."-itUPTS. . _ T.

Tuesday being the appointed day for the interesting spectacle of rite Consecration of this noble alifice. a Inch is situated nee, Tavistock Stride, an immense number of persons assembled around the Church, and about nine o'clock the public were ad mitted into the interior of the Church. Towards ten o'clock, the conitniny with tickets, consisting of all the most opulent gentry, and the nobility, continued to arrive, and the coaches were nearly two hours putting down. Some of the singers of Westminster Abbey were placed in the organ loft. The Bishop of Llandaff and his Chaplains arrived about eleven o'clock, and proce,ded up die aisle, and immediately after the grand centre aisle was cleared for the Lord Bishop of London, who was received at the Vicar entrance by the Churchwardens. the twelve Trustees , the Vicar and Curates, the Chancellor, Apparitor, Registrar, &c. who led his Lordship to the robeing room. When robed in his full canonicals, his Lordship proceeded from his room to the altar, where the Vicar, Dr. Moor, presented him with the petition, which was read by the Registrar, after .s few moments spent in ejaculations of prayer on the altar. The organ struck up the Yeth Psalm, and the congregation instantly stood up. and alternately with the Bishop repeated the Psalm ; the Clergyman attending him making the Responses. The procession then moved down the great aisle slowly around the Charch, and returned to the Communion Table, where hassocks and chairs were placed, and also preparations made to sign the deeds. The loud and fine tones of the organ filled the Church. and the female part of the audience echoed the Palm of David —" The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof & the world and tiiey that dwell therein," Asc.
