The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a similar Petition from the Dean and Prebend of the Cathedral Church of Canterbury.—Laid on the table. The Archbishop of CANTBRBURY then said, that he had a similar Petition to present from the Dean and Prebend of Norwich, and thought it proper to state bow that Petition had came into his hands ;—liis Right Rey. Friend the Bishop of Norwich had undertaken to present it, but not being able to come to town immedi ately, had requested him to lay it before their Lordships. ile(the Archbishop of C.) had only to add, that the Petition was signed by men with whom he had lived on the most intimate terms, for whom he entertained the highest respect, and with whom he had bees con nected with great satisfaction to himself during his long residence in the see of Norwich. The Petition was then read and laid on the table. _ _ The Bishop of CHESTER presented Petitions from the Clergy of the Diocese of lilourester, and from two Deaneries in the said Diocese, against the Catholic Claiins.—Lpitem the toile. Lord ROLLS presented a similar Petition from the Rector and Churchwardens of the P•rish of St. (Merge at E*eter.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF OF COMMONS.

Mr. F. PALMER presented a Petition from several Landholders of Briggleswade and its vicinity, com plaining' of Agricultural Distress. Referred to the Agricultural Committee. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved fur certain Accounts relating to the Customs of Ireland, and the salaries paid to the Officers of those Customs.—Ordered. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH gave notice of his in tenion to move on Tuesday next for leave to bring in a Hill for the recision of the Criminal Code. It was not his intention on that day to invite any discussion on that subject. lie should merely move that the Bill be printed, and he would suggest the 3d of May for its discussion. The Orders of the Day respecting the Committee of Supply, and of Ways and Means, were postponed to Friday next (this day.) Mr. C. CALVERT moved for a Rotors of the num ber of Persons confined by order of the Borough Court of Requests, in the last three years, with an Account of the sum for which each indiviiisal was confined. _ _ _ A Message from the Lords announced their Lord-I ships a•sen• to several Bills. Mr. HUME gave notice, that he would on Tuesday next move for leave to bring in a Bill to disqualify cer tain Officers of the Ordnance from Pitting in that House. The notice of the Hon. Member stood origi nally for Wednesday, but it dropped in consequence of there being no House on that day. Mr. LILISHINMON presented certain Accounts re lasing to the Excise Dales. GAME LAWS. Lord CRANBORNE rose to move for a Committee to inquire and take into consideration the present state of the Game Laws. When the House recollected the many persons who were daily committed to prison for offences arising out of these laws, they could net but see the iuspertance of the subject. He thought, too. the laws were in many respects absurd and icon sistent. In some cases a son was qualified while the father was not. Thr Noble Lord mentioned several other instances to show the anomalous state of the law upon this subject, and concluded by moving for the Committee. Sir JOHN SEBRIOHT, le emending the motion, observed, that he thought say alteration is the Oasue Laws would be fur the best. 1 hose Laws, he thought, bad a tendency to corrupt the morals of the people and to crowd the jails. Sir JOHN SHELLEY begged to remind the Noble Lord that a Bill upon the subject, brought in and supported by the eloquent and popular Member for Hertfordshire, the present Lord Deere. had been thrown out. He thought the Noble Lori bad not acted fairly by the(lame Laws. becomes the Noble Lord mast be of opinion, either that the lissome shoots be de stroyed, or that it should be preserved. Ile sboaW oppose the motion. Sir JOSEPH YORKE hoped that the Noble Lori sveoW, its his new Oil . introdace a clause to . Gentlemen to have a second laugh .) ) r. BANKES hoped they altered a law that .asovieg the noise:iris lcomplained of. He did alien in the law would r " The Cm! fin. which iIAMPDEN feel ess ge Field. wed SYDA►ICY 'did as She ietreid Lord proposed to repeal tile law creating the pities' offences, upon the ground of its tendency to fill the prisons, that argument might ipPly as well to the l ease of forgery.—(Hear, hear.)—The alteration of the law I. this respect, wadi, he conceived, make the lower order of Ole people ten tinsel are idle than they Were at present. He suggested that the Noble Lord should turn his motion for a committee into a motion for leave to bring In a dill upois the subject, se no ground whatever had beensbewn for the appoint ment of a committee. Colonel WOOD, in support of the motion, referred to the Report of a Committee appointed in 181$, upon Chia sobject. The Committee merely reported that in their opinion, all game shosid be considered the pro- s it ire heave should repeal the lite laws, so as to render the sale of game legal in those who were qualified to kill it. Under the regent practice, too, he thought that on the score of qualification, there was one law for the poor and another for the rich ; as it was notorious that many Gentlemen stiffer their guests (who were unqualified) to kill game, at the same time that they were rigidly enforcing the law against the poor. An exchange of game also was very frequent. Game was exchanged by many academes for fish and other luxuries; and this he conceived na much a violation of the law as an open sale. After some farther observations to the same effect, the Member concluded by expressing his determination WI support the motion. Mr. DOUGLAS opposed the motion. Sir C. Si:KRELL also opposed the motion. In the ?reseal thews it was too much to take away from the country Gentlemen the only comfirt they bad left.-- (A laugh.)—lle tbon'ot the game laws were general ly beneficial. He hail the authority of Mr. Fox, to spew that a separation of the right in the game free the owner of the land, would be illegal. Mr. LOCKHART thought that a Committee ought not to be appointed, unless the specific defects in the law, were clearly pointed out, and the remedy stated. The propo.ition of the Noble bird, be was convinced, would not produce the slightest improvement in the morals of mite conntry. if game were to be made pro perty, it nou‘t he under the civil law, and then the ef fect would he to bring a host of litigation and petty fogging lawyers all over the country, disputing about every head of game. To get rid of one evil, there iftwe, they were called on to create another of a much worse nature. He begged of the House also to con sider what a restriction it would be upon the eitioens all eve* the country. in taking the divoreton of shoot int, why. although they might be permitted to %How the sport on the grounds of those they dealt with, would not dare to cross a hedge after pose. Mr. J. HEN grr thought he should be guilty Oa dereliction of duty if be did not support the present motion for a Committee. He could nit agree with the Hon. Member who had jute spoken, that the making of game property would not have the effect of improving the motility of the country. Ho was con vinced that poaching was the parent of every crime, and he props:reed, by making game cheap, to make it not worth the while of the poacher to steal it. It would then he at the command of every one its the markets,' and he was coavinred the effect of some measure tend-, ingest this would be most beneficial. An Hun. MEMBER said, he thought the effect of mak ing game property, would be to render country gentle men odious in the eyes of the nation, by giving them a mercenary, sordid character, in converting that which had hitherto been regarded as an exclusive source of amusement into a means of lucre. He slid not stand up as the defender of the game laws; but he was convinced that it was impossible to put a stop to poaching by any laws that could he devised; and the present laws were so fitted and fashioned to their earl by the operation of time, he thought any attempt at alteration would be more like to defeat the ob ject, than to pro to it. Mr. IVARRE was fear ful, that devise what laws they would, the crime of poaching could not he eradicated. He thought, however, that the present role of Game Laws was productive of mach crime. He did not foresee what others were to be substituted for them; and, in deed, in the conflict of argument and opinion, on either side, it was difficult to come to any conclusion on the subject; but as he thought there were many incongra• ous laws relative to game, he should be glad to see a Committee appointed to consider the matter. Lord LOWTHER thought that there were may things in the Game Laws that might, perbapkbe altered for the better; but. upon the whole he could not but consider them as serviceable. Mr. HARBORD thought it was necessary to adopt some measure to check the great increase of crime in duced by the operation of the present Gans* laws. The great value of the laws which protected game was to make many gentlemen live is the country for the sake of the amusement. He dal not wish to un derrate the advantages arising to the nation at large from this. but be really thought that those Gentle. men whose only object in living on their estates was the pleasure of shooting pheasants could inflict no great loss. Oe the contrary, by their absence. The present system of Game Laws he thought unjust, ar bitrary, oppressive, and pernicious, sad therefore any change must he for the better. Lord CRANBORNE shortly replied, and the House divided, For the Motion id Against ft SS Majority S‘ AGRICULTURAL HORS' TAX. lir. CI7RWEN rose to bring forward hie promised sooting for a repeal of the Tax ell Agneskorai Horses. He did r i ot souteud that such a step would gin that relief tit the Agriculturists which. in their present state at suesamplod distress. they ;SW so touch le need of; but still it would contribute somethiag to wards it. and woald certainly operate as a meet grate ful boos sussing from the Legislature of the country a period. tamers, .. .a. ... Plum Sunni but kinexistouce as a farness was isoo:porated as it went with the soplorseet of them. It followei thereikre, ass consequence, that this tax mist in many cases serve to repress the efforts of industry', and lay an additional weight on what was already horse down by distress, rather that leave it un shackled to effect its own recovery. There sever could be a time whenever it would be sore wise, or wore expedient to adopt a measure of this aeseriptioe, is order to conciliate the farmers by showing a _ williogaess to relieve the farmer u hr as pas- - Bible. This tax oo horses was as bad as a tax oa the plough, the loom, or any other of the ounchineey of industry. if the farmer had three horses Aes be had to pay I. and if ho eldigo4 tWettter bits as a saddle hone, and com pelled to pay I. 6d. for a groan. although the horse wryer bad any thing bat a wisp of straw over his coat. The whole charge to a farmer keeping these four horses would be 10s., whkb, under the cirtuen- stances, certainly must appear to be a most oppressive tax, and which, he hoped, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer would consider, and by same other impost find means to obviate the pressure of them upon the agricultural classes. There was nothing of the prit.- ciple of a tax in it, for, insteei of pressing equally upon all, it bore only upon one class. His objections were particularly strong against that part of it which forced the farmer to enter one of his horses as a 'addl.- horse, under certain circumstances, and pay a higher rate of date for it as such. The Hon. &Wisher stated a case of the hardship of those who had come under his own consideration, in which an old was of seventy years of age having been induced to join in a fox chore, from the hounds crossing bis path, whilst he was walking beside his horse laden with two sacks uf potatoes, was fined and forced to pay for.it as a saddle horse. lie was sure the Chancellor of t:te Exchefine.., if he took the matter into his consideration, might easily find another mode of raising an Neal amount of revenue from another and more equitable *siree. It stas impossible that the country could continue to prosper under the present system of taxation—'t would become absolutely necessary that Ministers should put the burdens more equally. and on those who could hear them better than the agriculturists. Until they were relieved, there would be nu prospect of prosperity to the country. The taking cs:f this tax would In equal to 2s. 641. a week to every agricultural labourer In the kingdom, which would certainly be • very greet relief. The Hon. Gentleman entered into an onatnination of the image prospects of the orrice). tsarist. He declared that the idea of throwing out 'epit eoteivation the inferior leads; could oiler be u complished. It would have the effect of throwing out of labour a great portion of the agriculturist... He asked his Hon. Friend the Member for Porter. Ragusa (Mr. Ricardo), who so strongly advocated the removal of the restriction on the importation of corn, if he knew who were the great corn inerehairs of the Continent just now, with whom we should have to deal. in the event of that taking place? If he did not, he would tell him that they were the Mo narchs of Europe. The King of Swedea wAs the last great importer of oats into the country, and the king of Denmark had at this moment a larger por tion of corn stored on the coasts of Holland ready to pour into this country when the ports should ope:t. He wished his lion. Friend could tell him whether these great Poteuitat^ would be content to take hard ware, or pottery, or the manufactures of his country, in return for their commodity. Nothing. he was con vinced would satisfy them but gold. and where were we to get gold to give them ? If ever it should be determined to pat inferior soils out of use, he hoped it would he made incumbent spoil those who 011(100- vowed to effect it to devise other means for the em ployment of the agricultural labourer. To fetartlan the subject of his unction, he had particularly to com plain of the grievance felt under the system of sur charges, and the length of time before the derision of the Judges could possibly be obtained. There was ono instance of this kind of peculiar hardship. It was the case of putting metallic springs to carts, which had been found a great saving of horse labour, hut which the farmer had been made to pay for as a gig. 'f his was a most vexatious proceeding, and he was convinced, never entered into the inteatioe of the Le gislature The parties who bad suffered under this gri , felt so confident that the decision of the Judges would be favourable to them. that they con tinued to an metallic springs, till that decision. twelve months afterwards, became known. thereby greatly increasing the amount of the surcharges. If the Chancellor of the Beekeeper would pat a tax ut fire per cent. en income, which would bring in dos feadholders as well as other interests. and take off the leather tax and some others, it would be of ionmar.so benefit to the country. The Hon. Gentleman con eluded by moving " For leave to being In a Bill to repeal so touch of the Acts of the 4sth and 52d of George the Third. as went to impose duties oft agricultural and other horses engaged in husbandry.** Mr. C. W. W YNN E seconded the motion. Ho agreed with his Howourable Friend, the Mover. that it was impossible that the poor /ands foold be cultivated with any chance of remuneration to the farmer. H • Also agreed with him that the p 'nest tax was a very burdensome and oppressive tax; for it was impossible that the poorest farmer could carry his produce to market without losses. Sir CHARLES BURRELL thneght, that as the Agricultural Committee had not Tet made their re port, it was unnecessary for the House to entertain this motion at present.
