This petition was referred tW the former committee; and the committee in their re port, declare, " that the said Jefferies bath been guil ty of a gross violation of the right of petition, being. at such time, the Recorder of London, which is 54 officer of the Crown." On the 211th Sept., Trenchard, chairman of the Committee, reported, " that they found the right of petition to be an ancient privilege of the city of London, and that said G. Jefferies, by preventing its exercise, had committed an encroach ment upon the tights of the subject." There was a case, however, on their books, which in all point, re sembled that of the petition now before them. it was a petition about infringements of general rights ; and the petitioners were there to be found making allega tions precisely similar to those now under the consi deration of the House. They complained that they had not had the power of duly petitioning. It appear s-1, therefore, that this sacred right bad been inter f •risl with, in the present instance, by the Sheriff of Chester, in much the same manner as J nage Jefferies had proceeded against the citizens of London, on the same account, in the year 1690: and he should fol low up this view of the case by moving that the peti ti•in presented on the 19th instant be referred to a committee, fur the purpose of ascertaining the facts alleged, and of reporting thereon.--(Hear, hear.)-- This being the case of a vio'ation of the most sacred duty of a sheriT, and a violation yet more gross—of the most valushle rights of the subject, there were par ticular eirennistances connected with it, which should render parliament extremely jealous of its authority to protect, and of the rights which claimed its protec tion. la the first place, it was very difficult under the new law, to get at any public expression of opinion at all.--(Hear, bear.) —And in the next place, it was the more necessary to do this, because the Noble lArd, when the opinion of the nation, expressed in c.oinsy meetings of the first consequence and character, was nialst after night pressed upon his attention, was re peatedly maintaining, that nothing was to be latherd from the espres sions of count y meetings ; that the clergy and corporations, who cut so great a figure every Saturday in our Royal London Gazette—(A l a ngli.)--ealticed in their addresses the real sentiments of the nation.—(Laughter.)—" Therefore, when we do get a county meeting" (continued the lion. gentle man) " ore should take care to see that we have fair play."--(('heers.)-1t was not too much to asinine, that if the ronaties had all been permitted to meet, their dee:m.26ons would have been, by a majority be v,inil all proportion, against his Majesty's ministers.— (('heers.)—Hid the Noble Lord (('astlereagh) deny t fact i Why the sheriffs, in the first place, were afraid to convene county meetings on that very ac count. The only instance in which at sus h a meeting a loyal address haul been proposed, without lielitg in the next in moon annittil ited, or beaten oil the field by an atnentlment, was the county of Salop;—(llear, from NI inisters ;)—anul even in that instance, his Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Bennet) had published a letter, which remained tocinswereil to this day, in which lie pre tested that if that aululress had b••en fairly put, a large majority of the meeting would have voted against it. (Hear). Butt this was not all. It was, to be sure, somewhat true, when such men as Lord Crewe and Earl Grosvenor, and the fressboldere of Chester, at tempted to explain the principles on which they moved their amendment, that they could not be allowed to express their opinions —(hear, hear;)—anal that when the cle:gy and the corporations spoke, their language wis to he takeu as expressing the sense of the coun try. Bat these Noble Lards and their brother free holders most be abused, to hoot! Let the House bear, extracted from the London Ilazette, the latig,nage of the loyal clergy and gentry of the town of Chester. — (Here the II osourable gentleman read an extract to this elect,---" We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal servants, beg leave to express our unfeigned at tachment to your 31airsty's person and government. Now, when faction has unfurled the standard of re bellion, an I !blasphemy preemies the land, tke.")— There wits an address too from another part of the Enmity r f (Ale .ter, which was published in the Gazette. It was :sons a class of men tattier oddly named—from the ineintwrs of the loyal Wellington club.—(A I.sugh.) —at Stockport. This club, instituted its honor of the great captain of the ag.., contributed freely to the columns of the (Lizette their assumptions of peculiar loyalty, their abuse of their fellow citizens, and their political horror of blasphemy. Thus then were dres-e- leave directly to contradict the statement of the sheriff in his letter on the subject of potting the amend:m . lA : for that gentleman haul distinctly and in words said at the meeting—" 1 take upon myself to re. fuse to pot the lineation on the amendment to the meet ing."—(,blear.)—lf the Sheriff of Cheshire had com mitted an error in judgment, that might appear by examination before a committee; but at all events he was anxious that the lionse should conic to a resolution that the amendineut might to have been put, and that a division should have taken place. 3lr. WARRE was convinced that the sheriff of Cheshire had not acted with any intentional partiality, even if he had erred iu point of form: he therefore op posed time motion. Lord CASTLEREAGH felt that no case had bee* oLule out to impeach the condnct of the individual in question. No insinuation of blame had been uttered against the intentions of the sheriff, and time conduct of sheriffs at County Meetings were made the subject tif the labour of committees, in what way were other assendliies, whether convened by Lords I.ieutenant, by five Magistrates, or in private rooms, to be excluded. Ihe presidents of all these might in turn be brought before the House, whose functions were ill qualified fur such a duty. With regard to relevancy, who should decide what was or was not relevant? Mr. A. 310011 F. thought it of the highest importance, as a questiu* of piddle right, that the House should in quire whether the Sheriff in this instance had violated a Labile principle, or merely deviated from a formal rate. Phu utlio. of Sheriff was purely Ministerial ; and wbest he refused tug put an amendment, he exercised a discre tion with which lie was not invested. The persons as semlated, and not the Sheriff, were to pronounce an opi nion on the relevancy or non-relevancy of the propo sitio to ns i submittell to them. It was to that House aloe* that people could look for redress to a grievance of this nature. A court of law could afford none ; but the animadversion of the House, and a recorded stemma of its opini o n, could hardly fail to prove an effectual eorreetien, and prevent a repetition of the sane abase. --(Hear.) Mr. CREEVEY then shortly replied. If a Sheriff could refuse to put the question upon an amendment, he TIM STA' conic' dot see what occasion be had to call the 'netting at aU. In now pressing his motion be was actuated by no vindictive feeling towards the gentleman whole coo duct was the subject of discussion; but be thodght the [loose owed it to their constituents to uphold the sacred right of Petition, to discountenance the new-fangled doctrine, and to etptess their disapprobation of the course adopted in this inatanre—The Hoose then divided. Fur the motion, 65 Against it, l2j Majority, 57. OLD STORES. Mr. GRENFELL stated, that he did not think that any Public Board could act upon a system of private contracts, in the sale of public property, with safety. He should then confine himself to the motion, that there be laid before the House an account of all, Naval Old Stores sold under the authority of the Naval Board by private contract or private bargain, specifying the provi sions, the prices, the names of the purchasers fur the years 1515-16-17-16.19-20. And the like account for the same periods for the Ordnance. Mr. R. WARD did not rise to oppose the motion, with an exception to one particular part, which he should ex plain.—Some sales had taken place in the Department of the Ordnance under private contracts, by which time was given to the purchasers, and the Board bound itself not to divulge the names of the purchasers, or the terms, until the expiration of that period. lie agreed with the Honourable Member (Mr. Grenfell) that public com petition was the most desirable rule for every public Board, reserving to itself a discretion of adopting a pri vate sale, where the interests of the public recommend ed that course. Sir T. 11. MARTIN stated, that this principle was acted upon in the sale of old stores by the Navy Board. Mr. GRENFELL did not find say - fault wills such an arrangement, when it was the only mode they conld ob tain. He trusted, however, that the Hononfable Oen- Orman (Mr. Ward) would have no objection to furnish an enumeration of those contracts, in which the stipula tion not to divulge, for a certain time, the names of the parties, was pledged. Mr. Alderman WOOD wished to know how long it would be before the time fur not divulginz the con tracts of Mr. Samuels 3nd another person would expire! Mr. WARD, as we understood, said, August, next year. After a few words from Mr. Alderman BRIDGES, which were inaudible in the Gallery, the motion, as amended. was put anti carried. On the motion of Mt. GRENFELL, there were order ed to be laid before the House an account of P•iblic Ba lances in the Bank of England, and the other notal Bank Accounts. AFRICAN COMPANY. Mr. GOCI.BURN rose, pursuant to notice, to move for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish the African t 'um pany, and to transfer and vest in his Majesty all the pro perty, dominions, and forts belonging to them. lie wished not to he nnd•-rstood, thit by making such a mo tion, he cast ally imputation whatever on the African Company. Mr. MARRYAT defended the conduct of the African Company in the administration of the duties assigned to them. Mr. GORDON s'•.pported the motion. He was deci dedly of opinion, that the wisest way was, that (ovrrn• went slionbl have the complete snperi ntrndener of the whole of the affairs which the Company had directed. Mr. %V. SMITH said * few words in fAvour of the mo- tion. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that to facilitate the ob jects connected with the Abolition of the Slave Trade, and the progress of civilization, it wa4 not only expe dient. but intlispensahle, that the Government should have the sole direction of the affairs usty.:lly transacted by the African Company. Mr. 001; LIIU RN relined. The motion tras then agreed to. On the motion of Mr. 144W1A11.41N, it seas (Amid that the , Howie should resolve itself into a Con iiii ittee on Friday next, for granting a reasonable allowance to such persons as shonld not be confirmed in the manage ment of the said forts, or retained in the service of Bo vernment. Mr..l. P. BRANT moved, that certain papers he laid on the Table, containing accounts of the Furvied and Unfunded Debts, and the charges relative to the same. — Ordered. NEW MOUTH WALES .WT. On the motion of Mr. GOULBURN, the Ilonse te solved itself into a Committee for combiqlering the Act of the 9th of lieo. 111. relative to the dories of New Smith Wales, and the propriety of conflating the same. The Resolution was agreed to, and leave given to bring in a Bill to that effect. AVER AGFA OF CORN.

Iti sin. after LONDON: WIDNESDAT ITENiNG, FERRt•ART 21, 1321. -.08.-- The subjects .if discussion in both Houses of Par liament last night were of more than ordinary interest. In the House of Lords, the Earl of LavEßreot. nioved, the second reading of the QuEEN's Annuity Hill, but avoided all those topics which were likely to oc casion debate. The Earl of DARNLEY, however, took the opportunity of restating his sentiments re specting her 3lAiEsry's case, and of disclaiming any of the other measures of the Noble Lord, or of the House of Commons in reference to the Qt•Essi ; yet seeing that any proposition that nii.-ht be made upon the subject would resolve itself into a question not of right or wrong, hut of supporting or opposing Ministers, be relinquished the intention of moving the ' resolution of which he hail previously given notice, relative to the insertion of the Waves name in the Liturgy, though he hoped that nailer more favourable auspices he should be able to redeem his pledge. In the House of Commons there were two occasion in the coarse of the evening, on which the exercise of the important right of petitioning, gave rise to animated I debate. The one arose from the presentation of a petition from the inhabitants of Nottingham, the other freer a towline on a petition presented no a pretious day relative to the conduct of the Sheriff of Cheshire. In the former case the petition was rej .eted, as dig- 1 respectful in its language towards the legislature; in the latter the con , lnct of the Sheriff was screened, though charged with the most arbitrary exercise of power against a most respectable body of Freeholders at a Meeting - of the County. Among other objection dale passages in the Nottingham Peti tion those which appear to have given the most serious offence, were such as referred to the out rage committed at Manchester, and, to the blood that had been spilt upon the scaffold. That which related to the Manchester outrage called forth many spirited animadversions from those independent members who are pledged to enter on another day in.() the investi gation of the transactions of that fatal and disgrace ful affair. Long, too long, has the blood that was shed with savage feelings on th.tt never-to-be-for gotten occasion, cried aloud to heaven and to the legis lature reng•eance. Vengeance has indeed fallen, in consequence of the events of the inetnorableday , but it has fallen not on those whose hands had been e mbrned in blood. It has fallen upon the peaceful speakers at that vast but orderly and tranquil meeting.—lt has fallen upon those whose humanity and spitlt were roused to express their indignation at. the cowardly and cruel treatment which that inoffensive assetnby had ex perienced. It has fallen upon one of the noblest champions of the people's right 4 ! PRESENTATION OF THE WESTMINSTER AD• DRESS TO Slit F. Re RDErT. The Committee for conveying the Address to Sir F.

They thence proceeded to the pri son, accompnied by immense crowds of spectators , — On the Address bring roa.l, the Worthy Baronet made an impressive reply. He deemed his im prisonment an honor more than a ponishment, and felt no regret at the notice he hail taken of the pro eeedings at \lanchester.—After other political obser vations, which we regret we cannot give, the commit tee withdrew.

Snorat:sn AND FAT %I. EVENT% IN }IIaH I.tre.—Se reral Families, moving in the first circles in high life, have just been thrown into a stAte of the utmost af fliction, by the horrible depravity of a young man, the nephew of a Peer of the first consegnener, who, in re worse of conscience for acts the most shocking, has terminated his own existence, by blowing out his brains. The deceased was on a visit in the family of a Noble man at Geneva; and, whilst an inmate, he (horrible to relate) seduced two of the daughters of his host, who, both proved pregnant. Unable to bear ' the stings of conscience,' lie terminated his existence with a pistol. Letters, containing the dietressing partici " Isrs, arrived in town on Monday last, in consequence of which the intended Assembly, at a certain great house, has been postponed, and the inmates are plunged into unutterable grief.

Ccse OF Ma. .lonsisust.—The following is a state ment of the case of Mr. Johnson, referred to by Mr. llobhoose in the House of Commons last night, as it appeared in in the York Herald, soon after the decease of Mrs. Johnson. it On Saturday the 3d. inst. died at Northen near Manchester, Mrs. Margaret Johnson, aged 26, u ire of Mr.Jus. Johnson, a considerable In ash manufacturer, of Manchester, now a prisoner in Lin coln Castle for having been concerned in the memorable meeting at Manchester on the 16th of August, 1819. Her death was caused by a rapid pulmonary consump tion: and the faculty having sonic weeks since pro, uounced her recovery to be hopeless, repeated applica tions were made to Lord Sidmouth fur permission to Mr. Johnson to visit his wife, on condition uf his giving security to return and suffer the full sentence of the Court of King's Bench, but in vain. A petition to that effect was very lately sent from Lincoln, and pre sented by its two representatives, signed by the Mayor and 7or Aldermen, the very Rev. the Dean, and other clergymen, and as large a number of respecta ble inhabitants as the shortness of time would allow. Mrs. J. has left behind her three children, the yonngest eleven months old. In the Fire-Chancellor's Court yesterday, at the instance of Edmonds r.

The ..Love interesting Melo-drame, will, no doubt. become a great favourite with the public. The scenery and music deserve the highest praise.
