Mot DAr AYATT presented a petition from the Ship, the Port of London, against any &heretics on timber. They stated, as a prairie condition of their trade, that they hod; rarest period, kept 10,000 men in employmeit, now they had not employment for one-third number. They expressed themselves favour ) protection given to the produce of our own considering the duties on Baltic timber well secure that monopoly to our trade, which -Amid carefully promote.—Laid on the table. Mr. Wii.sorr presented a petition from the Ship teeters of the Port of London, to the same effect as be former. The intention of taking off the protecting duties on Baltic timber, he understood, arose from the policy of conciliating the Northern Powers; but he believed that, in consequence of the liberty of the pm* and the free admission of newspapers iato the iNiwthern imautries, the Potentates of that part of the 11/1/di hum* this time, acqsaiated with the extent of oar national debt, and the ducally we labour under as to oar resources; and it was impossible that, knowing this, they could grudge the continuation of this tax on their exports. It was his firm conviction that if the proposition for lowering the protecting duties were carried into effect, it would annihilate our trade in timber with the North American colonies. It might be shown, perhaps, that the Baltic article was cheaper than that which was imported from North America; but he would contend that the trade which empioyid so much of our shipping, must be, upon the whole, the most advantageous for the country. Sir W. Cu*: is hoped the House would give every attention to the petition of a most respectable set of me*. He supported the petition. Mr. M•anerrr said, he was a friend to the prayer of the petition. He reminded the House of the de terioration of the value of ships within the last few ran. Every ship now in use might be considered as having been built during the war, and consequently built a% the highest charge. lie himself built a ship in 1810, and purchased another—each of which cost 14,0001. The deterioration of the value might be stated at 4,0001., reducing the amount to 10,0001. Hsi could assure the House, however, that they were not now calculated to be worth much more than 3,800/. each. On the close of the war the shipping interest was held up by the opening of the private trade to India by means of the new charter. Another branch of profit to this country was the carrying trade to the Mediterranean. Up to 1817 we enjoyed exclusively the pass of that important sea, all other flags either risking their capital, or paying the war duty on their policies. A The war, however, which we carried on with Ooi a Dey Algiers, put an end to this monopoly, and teriniested by placing all the powers of &trope on • level with is. The third branch of profit which we alloyed was the carrying of timber from our own co- Mies; which frelm P 41,000 tuns iireemeed lam year to , 340,000 tons. The Hon. Member them adverted to the petition of the merchants of the city of London, recommending a free trade. said, after some comments, that if that recommendation were carried into effect, it would involve the destruction of a great Inas, of the country. Every power in Eutope baring colonies adopted the policy of imposing protecting duties in fa vour of the produce of those colonies. Why then should the same policy be censured in as ? But it was strange that the Northern Powers should conceive the tting duties on timber to have been laid on the t: export of that article out of hostility to theirs. pg:kilithe contrary, our giving a monopoly to the colonies was the resdlt of their hostility to us. When they had shit us out from all communication with them we were compelled to look for a resource in our colonies; .and in justice to these at least, we should not now abandon them. After stating the great increase of the carrying trade from North America, the Hon. Member, In answer to an objection respecting the small number of emigrants iu that country, observed, that according to information derived from his own correspondents, the tide of emigrations from the United , States to North America was now setting in. The great object of our nommunication with North Ame rica was not so much the article of timber itself as the freight. A ship could only make one voyage in the year between this and North America, whereas she could make several voyages in the year between this and the Baltic. Besides, it was well known that in the voyage to the Baltic more was paid for the timber and less for the freight ; but that in a voyage from North America less was paid for the timber, but more freight. The effect of annihilating the trade with serial, would be to throw 1,300 ships oat of em ploy. The seamen, to the amount of 17,634, who na ted these vessels, no longer fimling employment at , would be compelled to transfer their services to ign powers. The price of home tinaber IV as now 'scarcely sufficient to remunerate the grower. But if the Baltic timber were admitted, the consequence would be a still farther deterioration of the home pro. duce. He begiod to remind the House, that there was, equal jastice in taking off the proteeing duty of corn, es in removing that of timber; and he was well aware, that if the duty of the latter were repealed, it would be only a prelude to the removal of the leiportatiod duty on corn. He deprecated the impoliey of entail ing commercial concerns with foreigners. The IMO a country did so, the more she endangered her pros; Ffiry. The Americans were seeking to coerce us; t, by keeping ap oar navy, we should be enabled to y their power. Our motto, Dieu et men Drat, we alsould always adhere by, and weer !beget it to the Wt. He should now convlade—(a laugh)—by re eounnending that this petition be taken into the soo dons consideration of the Moose. Mr. RAltl7lo observed, that with the exceptiel.Mr she timber trade alone, the ship-ownen would miller lilfected in their Worms by the proposition which ha. ilmiumelml to sisbadt in reference to the subject Of thiii i 110111diess tie should not, however, now go into any particulars whh reward to that branch of the Baltic The House proceeded i■ Appeals.

A petition from William Cobbett, of Bottley, Hants,' farmer, was presented by Lord HOLLAND; complaining that by the rise in the value of money, commis/0 upon the Act for the Resumption of Cask Parma" the suns (13,0004) for *chick ha. had nnititgefiit de, estate he bad bought at Batley (and for which the executor of the mortgagee now threatened to foreclose), was equivalent now to nearly double that amount.

They were induced to make this repre sentation at the present time, when the,disfranchise ment of Uraniponntl was in agitation, for the purpose of praying, that if the franchise which would be re-. moved from that borough was transferred to the Rest Riding of Yorkshire, that then they would be admitted to the right of voting for Members to serve for that part of the county. The Hon. Member believing that this was a safe and practicable mode of reform, said it was his intention to tnove for a Hill to extend the right of voting for Members for Yorkshire to the free holders of Kingston, or to propose in the Committee on the tiranstotail Disfranchisement Bill, a clause to the effect prayed for by the petitioners, iu ease it should be determined upon to transfer the franchise to that part of the cwantry.—The petition was laid on the table. The same flon.Gentleman presented a petation,from an individual frteholder of the same town. praying that he might be penalty/41 to vote for Membega to serve for Yorkshire.—Ltiti on the table. DUTIES ON TIMBEIL-41 enerafilascorna pre-1 seated a petition from a number of Merchants and Ship-owners of Liverpool, praying that no alteration might be made in the duties affecting the importation of timber, in favour of Foreign Powers. They stated the attfantages which Great Britain and her colonies conferred spot each other, by the former having ex eluded the importation of tituber from the North of Europe. If the trade in timber, which we now carried I on with our own colonies in North America, were transferred to the Baltic countries, the consequence would be, a great reduction in the amount of our ex-' parted manntaateres. The countries in the Baltic would not take our manufactures in exchange for their timber to ►alf the extent that the colonies of North Anaeriis did. In addition to the other ell effects of trassferriag the tsade to tho Baltic, we should COll - diminish the employment of the emigrants in North America, most of whom lanai a seam of industry in the cutting down of timber. Sir J. Carrot stated, that there war llama 1 y an emigrant employed in the gutting down of Woks is North America. • petition was laid en the table. trade, which would more proporly aim* stademsemoi deration when the proposition was laid beige. the House in Its various details.

Mr. 11. A. TAYLOR deprecated the novel practice which had crept into the House of protractiug dinar lion in the presentation of petitions. This practice was productive of much inconvenience, sad, as a proof of it he needed only to observe, that not less Man one hour and a half had been consented in em ceed% pre. maturely the matters to which this pee Mien is ted. The petitioe wee then reed, and ordered te He me the table. ELECTION PETITION.—Mr. H. ChM brought up the report of the Committee appointed to imp*e into the merit, of the petition, complaining of no en due return for Portsmouth. It stated, that the Cons mittee had made the necessary examination wish.re• erect to the allegation set forth in the petition, that the power of election lay in the Mayor and AMennen resident in the borough ; and also inquired iota the allegations made by the sitting Member, that that power was vested in the Mayor and Corporatioa ealy, which they found to be correct. The result was,- that they declared Admiral Marken), the sitting M.eno her, duly elected, and the petition of Sir Oeorge Cockburn not frivolous nor vexations.-7 he report was laid on the table. TIMBER TRADE—Sir 11. W. Ranee preowned a petition from the merchants and shipowners of Nes• ' castle-upon-Tyne, praying that no alteration might be made in the timber trade. It stated, that some time ago, the number of ships employed kith* timber trade was only 783, whereas there was now 1100, and act less than 18,000 seamen.—Laid on the table: • Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented a petition from Mr. Elder, complaining of great hardship sustained, in consequence of a dereliction of duty on the part of Mr. Earnshaw, Solicitor of the Customs, in a transaction relating to the seizure of a vessel.—Laid on the table. CRIMINAL LAWS.—A petition was presented from the Society of Friends in Ireland, praying far a revision of the Criminal Laws.—Ordered to lie on the table. Sir J.

GRAM POUND DISFRANCHISEMENT Lord JOHN Helmut. moved the Order of the Day' for the !loose to resolve itself into a Committee on the Bill for disfranchising the borough of Grampouud. It was not necessary for him, upon this osteasioa, to detain the House with any lengthened statement upon the merits of the question, as they had already been at folly exaotined. lie was ready to accede to any amendment. which should appear to his of a a•eful character. ; but , he could not help saying, that to eit- • tend the franchise to the neighbouring hundreds, as • , was proposed by Honourable Gentlemen on the other side, would Itt at variance with the very principle of the Bill. It appeared to him, that the most proper measure to adopt would be to transfer it to some large and populous place not now represented, and, se far as the principle was roneerned, it would make no dd. . ference whether that place was in Durham, Northoto, berlatid, or in any other.coanty. He regretted that • the conduct of Ministen, with regard to this measure, was wavering and inconsistent, so Muth so, that he was sure there was not a single independent Member in the House who wuold regard one strew what they said upon that subject.--(Hear, bear I) The Hon. Mr. Swarm was in kisser of transferrieg the franchise in the manner proposed by his Noble Friend, because be thought the manufaetaring interest wassalutost naretresented in that Haw. It was, ho was persuaded, in easeetioeace of this eirenanstance that se many disturbances had arisen in the asanerfat:- `wring districts, of whielideeigning sod turbulent per. suns took advantage, in order to excite disatection to the laws and constitution of the country.
