a. • . tali of nothing but repaving the country 'sitar. by b o re:ins" the price of corn.. Mr. C. DUNDAS remarked, that into Aid not feel that the interest, of the agriculturist and the manufacturer were inseps• rah!). united. and that relief to the one would be relief to the other, he would.nof have entwined to go into the Committee. Mr.SPOONER felt a strong dbjection•to the composition of the Committee. as on looking over the list of names he found t hat not one Member from the great manufacturing •Counties of Warwickshire, Staffordshire, or Lancashire, had been included, If any go od were to be derived from the enquitY, which he greatly .doubted, it must be eccomplished by convey/he to the public, that it had beep conducted by thoeb who were most corn twat to give the great 'abject a calm. fait, full, and dispasiionate Investigation. Two points were to be considered; first if relief wilts necessary. and next if that relief could be supported by the manufacturing interest ; and if the Coeurfittee came to the conclusion .that a high price fur grain would relieve the manufacturers, be hoped it would not be done without at least the show of justice by adding some tnembers connected with the great counties hehld mentioned. Mr. WODEHOUSE was most anxious that measures should be taken to dimness that dreadful system of gambling to which the corn trade at present was so peculiarly liable. He knew that an honourable gentleman wbo sat near him felt somewhat mere. dulons a to the flails annunnitted in the corn trade; and he bad himself, at one time. been nearly as incredulous as• that Hon. Gent.. for though he certainly believed that frauds were pdilitised, yet he had, hs certainly, no conception of their importance, and of their extent. The lion. Member adverted to the difficulty of procuring, under the existing regulations, correct returns of the quantity of corn grown in large dietnets; and in commenting upon the uncertainty of any average price& founded upon the general returns, stated an instance' which occurred on the 7th of November'. 1815. when • return was made from Lynn, in Norfolk. of 1036 quarters a. wheat, which . cost near 3,0001 % av a iiaging a price of #6O per quarter ; while a return was also m in Derbyshire. bf two buidiels, which cost • IL Se. averligipg. t erefore, tons. per quarter. Mr. BENNErf/(Meraber for Wilshire) denied that he had ever bean cep advocate for high prices, and he looked o 4 the • appointthene of the Committee as one step to their permanent reduction. Gould it be supposed, that if the whole land were thrown out cultivatioi. and we depended on foreign supplies Surely that the price acorn irould be low in this country ? Surely not; and whatever therefore tended to the protection of our agriculture, and to preserve us from foreign dependence, must have a tendency to avert the evil of high and fluctuating prices. Lord TEMPLE entestained a hope that, as the Committee was appointed, its enquiries might be productive of advantage; burst the same time he took this occasion of stating, that be for due would resist any measure that might be introduced, the object of which was to raise the ripe of food. Theaies of" question' becoming at length ince:slat, strangers were ordered to withdraw. • When the House divi ed the bumf/ars we:a.: Foe the original Motion For the amendment.. • Its. .

SUPPLY.—ARMY EITIMATIM —The House having re solved itself Woo a Committee of Supply, Lord PALMERSTON rose to bring torward the Army Estimates, observing, that he did nut apprehend it would Le n e cessary fur him to go into any extruded detail. He would advert tv some particulars, and if further informa tion were required, he should be happy to give it. The chief pecutiat it, was, that of an addition to the srmy of 10,300 men; but that increase had been already observed twit. Such addition to the army had been conducted on the most ecussuusical scale •it occasioned au increas e of not more than 220,00 in the regimental charges there were some savings, chiefly effected by a different disposi tion of some of the regiments. In the charges for clothing, particularly fur • Irelaed, there were savings amounting to 9,2901. These nos an increase of the chit/pea fur miscel laneous services, amounting to 01,0001. In the charges for the recruiting department, there was also au increase —about 2.0i1.; that, however, was chiefly owing to a deficiency in the Estimates of la st year. There were car. Fain diminutions, small in their amount, but numerous in ' extent; such as reduction of a payinasigrship, acc. An Hon. Member opposite smiled at the mentiou of these smell reductions. That was the way ;—he, however, mentioned theist only as proofs of the „real desire of the Government to economize whatever opportunities pre. seated themselves. (Hear.) Bat thus it frequently was with some Members opposite. The reductions which bad taken place were only received with ridicule.— (Hear, hear, from the. Oppositidn Benches.) The Noble Lord then proceeded to notice some other divisions of the Estimates. In the arrangements connected with the Staff, there was au increase of 3,061. LI he Noble Lord suddenly stopped, and appeared to hr labouring under sudden end acute pains in the head; several of the Members near I • rose and proceeded to los assistance. His Lordship considering himself to be so su far recovered as to be enabled to proceed, again Wee but after several ilorts, and turning over the leaves of the Estimates as if to give him time to recover himself, he With agaiii linable to proceed, and once mole resumed his seat. It was generally intimated that other business could be proceeded wills. This was accoidinely done.

Importation of Foreign Grain.—The ports are now open for the free importation of wheat and flow•, oats and peas, from the British Colonies and Plantation in North America, but continue shut against the importation of any description of fo reign, except buck wheat, which is imported at a dui• of ifis. per quarter.

ST• PATRICK'S CHARITY SCHOOLS. • The Annual Dinner of the Patrons of this Charity was held on Monday, at the great room in the Free masons' Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex in the Chair. At about six o'clock a large company, amongst whom were, his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, Lord Donoughmore, Sir John Doyle, J. C. Hobhouse. Esq. and a number of Noblemen and Gentry of the first rank, sat down to a most sumptuous entertain ment. As soon as the cloth was drawn, ?lon Noble Da. mine was sung by Messrs. Dignum, Smith, and Wolfe, with great effect. The first Toast given by the Royal Chairman was " The King. and may he lor.g reign over this free, happy, and united country ;" which was drank with three times three. Song—" God save* the King. ' —Toast, " The Royal Family ;" three times three. —Glee—" Glorious Apollo." The Chairman proposed the memory of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, in doing which he recalled to the recollection of the Meeting the services which his Illustrious Kinsman had rendered to the Institution. The health of the Royal Chairman was proposed by the Duke of Norfolk, and drank with great ap plause. His Royal Highness returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech, in which he descanted on ' the state of religious and civil liberty, and as. sured the Meeting, that be should never forsake the opinions which he had conscientiously adopted with regard to the Catholic Question.—Toast, " The health of the Duke of Norfolk, and the rest of the Catholic Nobility." The Duke of Norfolk returned thanks. Toast, " The health of the Earl of Shrewsbury, the President of the Institution, and success to the Charity." The Royal Chairman, in proposing this toast, in timated to the meeting, that it was intended to ex tend the charity and build a larger school. The children of the Charity walked in procession through the room. Their appearance gave the utmost satisfaction. Several powerful appeals were made to the liberality of the meeting by various gentlemen present, and a collection was made, when he party broke up at a late hour. Large orders have been given on hehalf of her Majesty the Queen, to the manufacturers of Spital. fields, for various articles of silk manufacture. It is said that the vacant blue riband has been declined by a nobleman of high rank, to whom it had been tendered, on the grateful. though unusual, plea, that he had not performed any puldi.! services to justify his bearing away from more worth• cow. petitors so distinguished a mark of the personal favour of his Sovereign. This, it' true, is an insta::::z of brave A proud self-knowledge, which, even I, its rarity, should be immortalized. It is said there will be a creation of new Peers, and of exaltation , to higher ranks in the Peerage, previous to the Coronation.
