It Is curious sough, that no lad said that be was the former or was not r.—However, we shall see this Report in a rt time: and in about ten days from this, that it will be found so have undergone • rod examination and comment, nottrithstand noble Lord's anxiety to preserve the thing so the boar for a grand opening.—Closely d with this subject was that introduced by taT WOIIII.IT, upon his presenting front , and occupiers of land in the county of ow, complaining of Agricultural distreu.— eduction of this petition gave rise to some one talk ; hot first, let us speak of the petition rich merits attention on account of its singula. The petitioners propose as a remedy e government shall ley owl a million 1 to ivy arp cora in Me market.—These , re do not date their petition from a se; and we shall have reason to see, by-and apt, that they are not Co very silly as at first e would conclude. 'hit WORTLEY begged the a Wen ion of the House to one passage in Hop, which passage declared that the peti. eiJ not want a redaction of taxation; to re lation, they say, " would be like a drop of fallittg into the immense ocean; our distresses far beyond the reach of any relief to be ob is that way." The respect we entertain for oft of Mr. WOILTLIT prevents as from laugh leis, is which that gentleman said he folly el.—These petitioners know, we suppose, that taxes the less places, pensions, pay, and pick ed they know also, we suppose, that the Scotch I vast deal more In all these different ways whole amount of what their country pays in Therefore, it was not so foolish to pray for ng oat of a 'trillion of money, of which these us intended to have a share, without taking 'g at all from the grand source into which setrymen dip their capacious horn-spoons.— the speech in which Mr. WOIRTLIT introduced tion, be - took occasion to observe that the re always said theta parties would quarrel at 1 materially costribated to the distresses of tars ; that its undue had been very extraor that it did sot facilitate mosey transactions, ens the original intention of it ; and that he lappoieted that it had not seconded the plan of women by reducing the intern' of discounts. Nelms, a Bank Director, took fire at this ; e a most suressosable charge; complained Bank was thus held up to public indignation, i that official persons had joined in as attack not discounting at 4 per cent. He said,which y tree, that if the sash were to discount at r cent to-morrow, it would sot make any dif. to the landowner; for that he could borros it 4 percent. now; if he had reel security to hit. MantriNo observed, farther, that to lower of diselmoting by the Bank would be to force capital into Foreign Feeds, and be added real deal of money had already been invested funds; and he knew that, within only a few Ira hundred thew:and pounds had been sold Cr stocks and placed is those °father conk tries hank God for that ; and thank God that this 'oc has something else to do now than to pass ;tieing the price and the number of sheets trier sheets of little pamphlets Thank God it cebing else to do now than to wake laws to be en to ho shall dare to utter words having a ten 's bring it into contempt:—Mr. Mannino said A Bank was compelled to contract the currency. atiaence of Pzees Bill ; and really it is bat s bear in mind that the Ohl Lady did remon it screarniog voice, and with tears pouring down rrovetlcheeks against that Bill.

Of the sincerity of which ob. Mini ere cannot entertain the smallest doubt. Sir : Kit add e d that objected to the heavy lax on er of mortgages. We beg our readers to k thi s Sell; and to mark very well that Mr. I'AN .4IT immediately rose and said that it was iatend- Isie,,,i!ae hear ! , duty oa mortgagee.

Mr. Barra r: of Wiltshire was of opinion that four millions advanced at three per cent: on mortgages would afford considerable and important relief to the lauded fattiest. Good God le it come to this ? What! Borrow money of the Dank at fire per cent.; pay the interest oat of taxes raised on merchants, m•eafactureis, artisans, farmers and tradesmen ;.and then lend this manly to landlords at three per cent ! Shall we not at last hear of a propo- sition to snake a loan and bay up la.ul with it, in or der to raise the value of the land ? In short, it is impossible to say what we may lot hear of. Bat it is always a comfort to reflect, that there is now something to do other than that of passing laws about twopesoy pamphlets. Mr. ?FROMM (anti we were glad to see is) spoke out at last. He said thin ; that the Agri roltnral in was on the very brink of rain; that two•fhirds of th farmers is Rues were is a state of iosoleessey. He appealed to his colleague for the truth of his usertion, and his colleague continued it. Mr. W w called npon Lord Calm aaaaaa to point oat a precedent, where a whole clam of any comma- . pity bad bees deprived of two-thirds of their property. He said that the cred!tors, as they were called, were now receiving interest for what they that for several years landlords had been li►ing upon the capital of their tenants; that there must be either a groat remission of taxes, or a coney:ries of society, that would drag the aolility and the gratryfrom their high statiose. He concluded with observing that be had formerly received numerous pathless from his con stituents to present to this House; that he new bad received not one, which he ascribed to the farmers having given up all hope of relief from the House of Commons. Well, then, are not Mr. Coaster's pre dictions come true? Is he now a false prophet ? And where are now the railer, and the impostors, wbe have, for so many years, been abusing him and flatter ing the credulous part of the people ? The reign of those railers and impost.ors is fut drawing to a close, while his triumph is complete sad boundless. And such, indeed, is the just reward, and no more than the just reward of his indastry and persevereoce. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS OF LAST WEEK. (CoAtiasted from our paper of yesterday.) MIAMI 28. In the House of Lords, Lord llistvuts took occa sion to observe that be regretted the reduction of the two Lords of the Admiralty ; i• which, we are very certain, his Lordship was sincere. In the House of COWIN./ Mr. CANNING (who now appears to bare become a man of great basin's), pre- sented petitions from West India Merchants and Plant ers praying for a re-opening of the trade between them and the West India Islands of America. Whether these petitions will be successful or not, we cannot say. The present restrictions look like spite more than any thin else ; and the sooner they are got rid of the better. Leavitt' Janice out of the question; those ietions can only tend to benefit the Islands of France and Spain at the expense of the English Islands. Had we p ion of all the West Islands, the case would be digerent. We should then have the power, though it would be foolish to use it, to grasp a monopoly of the carrying trade between the West lodis Islands and the United States. Bat, as the case now stands we are, by our restrictions, really Directing no object but that of ruining our own Colo nists, to benefit the Colonists of our viva% Sir Hooter WILSON bad a petition to present from the inhabitants of Bethnal Green, praying for the liberation of Mr. HUNT. The Petitioners stated, that it was not their wish to offer any insult to the House, bat when they saw it openly published as coining from the mouth of a Member of that House, that the prac tice of seat-selling wasp notorious as the sea at noon day, and when they read in the New Times of the 13th February, that a Mr. SrooNsa had stated at a Meeting at Worcester. " that the Hood was filled " with ' boys' who were seat there to cote whichever " ray Me Ministe► directed, and that ha bad seen " the. collected from cope -horses, balls, and other " such places. to give their votes, only requiring for " that purpose to blow on which side was the Mar " guess of LONDONDIIIII/T, and which Mr. TIMM BY j" they could not help thinking, these things being gismo- Indicted, that the punishment of Mr. HUNT, for merely expressingan opinion that Reform was necessary, was too severs. Mr. Dicusosox (one of the Members fur Someratabire) said that this petliioa was a fool Co lodny on the House! and, therefor*, opposed its being brought up. Upon a division there appeared a great majority against the petition, which, oecordiogly, was not brought up. Far be it from us (ha►ing Six Acts in our eye) to repeal any part of the sayings of Mr. SPOON SR ; but, we really cannot see that the petition ers could be blamed much for quoting the words or Mr. SPOOXZEI. This petition, however. seems to have excited a good deal of anger io some Hon. Members, which appears not to have been the less on account of 'he petitioners praying fur Reform at ►he same time. FRIDAY, M•tCH 29. In the fiords there was a conversation respecting the two reduced Lords of the Admiralty, during which Lord MaLvii.t.. - ; observed that, the reduction would cause an addition of potions! expense. This was all that trooseiled worthy of psrticolar notice. . , . In the House of CeftelOne, Mr. Howe, le a Com mittee of Supply, made some further attempts to cattle redactions is the expenditure ; bat,' without any if. feet, and we perceive that ten thousand poonds were granted for works at the College of Edinburgh with out a single word of opposition from any body ! The labourer, let it be perceived, pays a pert of this money out of his earnings ; and we shootd be glad to bear some one attempt to explain bow he can possibly be benefitted by these works. But, the thing of the greatest importance that has occurred in Parliament was the notice gi►en this evening, by Mr. CANNINO, of Lis intention to move on the thirtieth of April, for leave to bring in a Bill to en able Catholic Peers to sit in Parliament! This is so just. It is every way so proper that every one meat' wish it success, unless he be under the influence of some selfish motive. These Peers are excluded from their seats, only because they adhere to the religion of their and our forefathers. Mr. PIA/01MT (00f readers homy who he is) did not seem to be very positive as to whether he should give his suppoit to this mea sure or not. He has lately joined the Ministry ; lied, be has, heretofore been an advocate for the cysts of the Catholics. There seems to be a great 1/4 ... dificuliy amongst the parties io this case; whit bee induced Mr. Cassis. to bring the measure forward at this time, it is not for us to presume to 'ay. Probably his being out of Oleo has afforded him lei sure to think of inch matters ; and if he should re. main out of office for any considerable length of time. we should not be surprised If his active Med were to discover other matters to bring forward equally important; that is to say, if the payment of rent: should give the Right Honourable person time to pirsoto his valuable researches. At any rate, we most ►eattitl wish him success in his present un dertaking, notwithsteeding the moiety for the promo lion of Christian knowledge, are sow pdblishing and circulating fourteen separate works, eodeavourieg to show the donanabkarse of the Catholic Rell4ion. From the New York papers received ynterday : Novae or R KKKKK RPITATITES. JOLT 26.

Rectums doors.—Mr. Cocks hid on the table the litilowlng Resolution :—Resolved. that the President of the. Uoitod Status be requested to cause to be laid before the House a statement, showing the amount of woollens purchased for the army during the years 1820 and 1821 ; of who-n the purchases were made; at what prices ; •ad what proportion thereof was of Americas mansfactsre. A Paris paper of Saturday has arrived, but has brought no intelligence that accounts for the agita tion ; in the French Funds, except what relates to the agitations in the country. In public assemblies and in private circlet much turbulence appears to prevail, and a duel was expected to take place between Oen. Semele and General Carina, In consequence of some harsh expressions between the parties, in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday. On Friday, the discussion on the budget of the war department was resumed, when the delicate question of the nature and extent of military obedience was agitatedby some of the speakers, and the duty of passive submissioi was urged by Gee. Donnadiea as that of the soldier towards his chief. —" The obedience of the soldier," said Gen. Foy. in reply " ought to be passive, both when employed against the foreign enemy, and In the maintenance of internal peace; hut in the latter case the civil power must be on the spot to authorise the activity of the soldiers. If it were otherwise, (continued the General emphatically,) what would become of as ? Suppose a niiiitary Commander should thus address his troops— ' Let us march against the Trikries'—must they, then, obey him ? When his back is to the interior. and his face to the foreign enemy, then. indeed. is the soldier's obedience passive—ant so when Isis back is to the fron tier, and his face to his fellow-citisens at house." In the course of the debate there was proposed a reduction of 8,000,000 francs, in the 14,000,000 demanded for the gendarmerie, when it came out from the admission of r Ide Can:, an official agent, that the gendarmerie had been raised from 7,000 to 27,000 inen—a force,said he,whi eh circumstances had rendered iodispensible, as various services were now intrusted to the gendarmerie beyond those which they bad ori ginally performed. The sitting terminated in great confusion ; and animosity and distrust appear the order of the day. Twenty-six inspectors of polier were dismissed from office on Friday last, and the whole of the police establishment of Paris bad received orders to be at their desks by eight o'clock in the morning. The Funds on Friday left off at 891. 30e. ; on Sa turday, at 89f. 15c. Penes Leopold arrived at Naples from Rome, on the I Leh of March. Mr. T. Cooka's Concert on Friday last was nume rously and brilliantly attended. bliss Cooks made her first appearance on this occasion, and sung in a manner which bolds forth great promise of future emi nence. Amongst the most admired pieces of the even ing, was a Grand Duet on the piano and French born, composed by Mademoiselle JAWS, of the Conservatoire Royal of Paris, performed by that young Lady with a .legree of taste and execution seldom equalled sad never mrpassed, and well supported by Mr. TULLT on the horn.
