PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. 31r. JAM CS presented a petition (emu the merchante, traders. manufacturers, and other inhabitants of the city of Carlisle, complaining of the great pressure of ilia teem arising from the immense weight of taxation. — This they attributed its an eminent degree to the defec tive slat,-of the repreeentetion in that house, and in this. feeling he fully concurred with his constituents- The petitioners Iwliered that a vast majority of that house were returned by far less than the thousandth part of the male adult population of the kingdom. Under such, circumstances, there could he no community of thought, no sympathy, no kindred feeling, between the great hulk of the people and those who satin that House to ro present them. The people saw that the grossest arts of tyranny and injustice had arisen from this defective eysttm. They saw the act of Ixl9 for preventing meet-, ings of the people—that in the same year the perpetra tors of a barbarous ototraee on the people assembled at itlauehes,er had been suffered tut escape with impunity, and that question to pees without investigation. Ilk constituents, as he hail observed, attributed a great por tion of their burdens to the excessive pressure of taxa.. tion, and in this hr fully coucurreol with them. Some l of the evils u ore also to he set down to the account elf the receut alteration in the currency. His Hon. Friend the Member for Portarliugton (Mr. Ricardo). in speak• ing on this sulker, haul said that the change in the cur rency had mail, a redaction in prices to the amount of ten per cent.; and on another occasion he had observed' that there was not a difference of three per cent. be tween gold and paper. Now those were opinions in consistent with each other, as they were, in his opi nion, a'l iticiutosi..tent with the fact. If the Honourable mend,: I (Mr. Ricardo) would but talus the trouble reaulin_ two our t t re'e small works written by Mr. Cob on this %object (laughter), and which be might obtaib at a very cheap rate (continued laughter), they would convince IlimAtat be knew nothing. at all about the atatter.—(Lound and coatinued laughter from all sides.) The Hon. Moldier (Mr. Ricardo) had also said, that the prices depended on the supply and demand; but if he had read Cobbett (laughter), be would have found that the priers also depended upon the quantity or the cir culating medium its the market (hear, hear); and that when the circulation was tEllell limited, the result would be 'to double the weight of taxation. Well, hut roinlel this ;the' ation in the currency be repealed ?—(Hear, hear, bear.) lie feared not. It appeared that branch banks acre to be established in the country, for the' purpose of issuing country notes.—(Hear, hear.) This was iritline t for if convertible into Bank of England note% and those notes into gold, the thing would lw of no avail.—(lleer.) The Noble Lord opposite (Imrd • Londonderry) would find himself very much mistaken, if he thought that lie could remedy the misgovernment of lialrot century loiturnin , bonded wheat into flour, and issuing.pawuhrokers' tickets to bankrupt's and beg gars. Mto relief irons the salt tax, it alone would be nothing ; for he was convinced that ne reduction short of 30,090,(XX0 or 25,090,000;s of taxes at least, would be effectual for the relief of the country.— (Langloter.)— . He was glad in this opinion to have the concurrence of the hononrahle encipher ter Reading (Mr. Mooch). The bonotwahre gentleman then proneeilisi to state, that no thing bet entire.anal effectual reform could prodoce imr mediate good to the country, or be any security for its 'better government in future. Thereform which lie should wilds to see accomplished would be that which would Rive to every member in society. He was, in oboe', for universal suffrage. It seas his conscientious opinion that every 111311 should have a vote, as evert nisi was alike liable to he called upon in delence of his mush,: lie concluded by moving that this petition for moderate reform he brouelit tip. Mr. CURREN slid, th..l since the beginning of his political life be had been a friend to Parliamentary Re form, and that every day's experience had satisfied him of its necessity. Formerly there was a decency at least otseerrel towards the people el the house of tiOnimons ; hot owe the house was so constituted as to render it UR wo•rthy of public confidence. Language like this would formerly have been objected to, but it was heard with in. difference. He did not go the length of Ida lion.

Member for Car lisle would he good enough to state on n bat occasions his . (Mr. Ricardolo) opinions Lad varied respecting the cur rency. Ile hed stated the difference by the measure al loade'd to as equal to 111.1 per ,cant.; but l:is observations had no application to the subject alluded to by the Hon. ,Member. Mr. JAMES, in explanation said, that as the Honour able Member bail ailinitteil the difference to he 10 per rent. lie, (Mr. James) begged to say that be thought it uas at least 50 per cent.—The petition was then read, and orih•red to he printed. Lard KINtiS110110i:411 I presented a petition from the inhabitants of a place in the vicinity of Cork, pray ing for the repeal of the Irish window tax.--Ordered to lie to the Mr. ILI DO moved for a return of the quantity of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, sold at Mark-lane within the last ten years, distinguishing the British and Irish from foreign corn, and the quantity sold its each year. — Ordered. Mr. IV EsTnnx postponed his intended motion for • reconsideratiue of the Act affecting the currenc y . The lion. Member ssid. that he did out observe any day un occupied, and he would therefore fix the motion for the 16th instant, taking his chance as to some of the prior notices for that day going o ff by postponement. A message froui the Lords here anpouoced their Lord ships assent to several private Bills. ITALIAN N/lILIRANTS. Sir J. ACKINTOSH said, he had two questions to pot to the Noble Marquess opposite, hut as the subject of them had co reterenv.e to each other, he would put them distinctly. Ile lint Wished to know whether his Majesty's tieverninept had received any official informa tion as to the liarbarotis expulsion of sonic Italian emi grants from the Helvetic Republic, at the instance of the Alliance calling itself Holy? • The Marquess of LONDONDERRY said lie was al- Subject( i lleetios • Sir .._. therefore rudneserne pet tiai4r . fosusayhiels elsonli ' he perfectly f .oil.

Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said he was aware then for some time past these etreatries had been considered With respect to Spain as in a state of civil wart sad. • therefore the latter he regarded as having the pammeise only of that pen which she retained by mean et aa armed force. The United States of America had ahead formally recognised the republics. However, after the observation of the Noble Marquess, he certainly did eat think it right to press the questions any further. .. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY paid the wet* lions had already come a little too early. Ile eadre. stunt] that no recognition had yet taken plan on dm part of the Unitect States of America . . It was trite Ad ! the President hail sent a Message to Congress ea the ! and feet, and that a Committee bad been a nted le consider that Message: nothing definitive - ad as. yet I been decided upon. Ile must here beg leave to observe, that Ilan. Gentlemen were generally a little too eager upon subjects of this nature and assumed, as decided, many circumstances which were of a very equivocal nal ure. Sir J. MACKINTOSH said it was in the recollect+ Lion of the House if lie had stated that the United States had actually recognized these Republics. He had qualified his expression, by saying •• almost formally recognized them. The conversation here dropped. ALIEN ACT. 4 Sir R. WILSON said, lie had to !fox for a Paper • connected with a system adopted by that same Alliance, railing itself Holy. He factual by the Order Book, that intended it was to move for a renewal of that odioes and detestible measure, the Alien Act He would net call the doing so a positive breach of faith, hnt it was; certainly a breach of an understanding est the WOO s. for the opposition to that Act last year would have bees greater, bad it not been understood that no motion would be made for it. renewal. He moved for a Return of the Number and the Names of the Persons who had been apprehended in the last year under.the Alien Act, and fur the number of Appeals to the Privy Council thereon. Mr. HOBHOUSE said, he trusted the Noble Mar quess would not this, as he had dons last year, fit dine arguing the question upon its merits. Should he do so, and attempt to carry the in by a mere trial of the. strength of numbers, he (Mr. II.) woull avail himself of all the means it ithiu his power to defeat bis object. It was his determination in ittat case to move perpetual mijouru meats of the House; and if only one Jhwhher would stand by him, the Noble Marquess would be defeated. The motion was then agreed to. COLONIAL DISTRESS. Mr. M. URE, in presenting* Petition from the Coun cil and House of Auenibly of the Island of St. Vincent, stated the great distress to which the West India Pro- prietors were exposed, from not being able to obtain a remunerating price for their produce. Ile considered this unfortunate state of things to have arisen from three great causes: Ist. The heavy duties imposed during the late war, which still existed without diminution, and de prived of tile advantage* which the British Colonists 1 enjo y ed during the war in their commercial intercourse with foreign nations. The second cause of their dis tress is. the restriction on their intercourse with the United States of America, whereby they are deprived of the wore easy means, or obtaining lumber and provi sions in exchange fur rani Third, and above all, the enormous and unlimited extent to which the African slave trade was permitted by Foreign States. It Bp , prated from a dispach of Sir George Collier', that six!y thousand at friraus had been forced from their homes in one year, and landed in the Idea& of Martinique, Gin daloope, and Cuba. That by means of this traffic, the foreign Colocists were enabled to produce sugar and ruin, at a price which drives the British Planter der of the market of competition. Ile alluded to reports of the House, in which the importance of the West India Colonies was fully admitted, at a time when thirevenue derived from them was only three millione.•whersas now it exceeds six millions a year, and a proportional in crease of consumption, in articles of manufacture from this country. lie was satisfied with the measures now under the consideration of Porn/nat. for,relietring the distress of the West India Planters, by opening the in tercourse with the UAW States of America, and he was persuaded that fipm the ready ear which his Majesty's tiovernmeetsind lent to the reprenutarions of the Wi•st India Proprietors, that they would readily give their support to any other measure which might he deemed esaential for Si,, prosperity of the West India Proprietors. 'the Petition was then read, and ordered to lit on the table. _. • en rompletet and sell malt Neer, Dmi the imyeri were not slowed todrinh it in the Hamm of the sellers.

He, was induced to do so in consetinence of the favour able disposition which his Majesty's Ministers had shewn towards the situation of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) If, however, nothing effectual for the relief of the country should be derided upon by the t 2.1. he should feel it his duty to bring' on the motion, for which day be begged . it 'night stand on the notices. - • au ...... 11r7i). 111teli'NE thought the tax ought to he modi fied, and said he would support any proposal for a modi fication of it. The notice was then entered for the 22d. CilliflNAL LAWS. Mr. U. SIARTINT(O4iiXiwisy). moved for leave to bring in a Bill for allowing prisoners charred with fe lony the benefit of Counsel. He should at present con tent himself with moving fur leave to bring in the Bill, as there would be other and more favourable opportuni ties for diitusslng its merits. Me. LOCKHART said that an adoption of this Bill would be an aihninission that for centuries the ad ministration of the law on this subject hod been un just; and this was a proposition to which he would assent. The present practice was most h valuable fur prisoners charged with felony ; for the Judge was always of Counsel for the prisoner, and of course every observation which the Judge made upon the evidence favourable to the prisoner was received by the Jury with considerable deference. .11e really thought the Bill would tern oat to be most prejudicial to prisoners. If under this Bill a prisoner'. Counsel were to call witnesses, the Counsel for the prosecution would have the right of reply, and would probably make a considerable impression on the defence. The last word was of considerable valve in such a eaii ; and according to the present practice, that last word was with the Judge in favour of the prisoner. He should certainly oppose the Bill. Sir R. MARTIN said, lie had forborne to state the grounds of his motion in the first instance. with a view to economise the time of the House. The oh. jections of the Hon. and Learned Member were really so many arguments in favour of the Bill, for they shelved that it would tend to elicit the truth. His (Mr. Martin's) object was not to defend the gritty; , it was to promote the admioistration of justice. ' Blackstone had admitted the present practice to be anomalous: fur a prisoner was allowed Counsel in cases of high treason avid of misdemeanor, but not in those of felony. As to the argument, that the Judge was always Counsel for the prisoner, he must say that lie had seen Judges as often'Cuunsel against the prisoners as they were for them. In Scotland prison ers were allowed Counsel to defend them from all cri-, mina) charges; and in Ireland a latitude was allowed to a cross-examination for the prisoner which had al most the effect of a spe•ch to the evidence. In this country no sueli latitude was allowed. He really trusted the Honourable and Learned Member would not divide the House against the measure in its pre sent state. Mr. LOCKHART explained ; and, after a few words from Mr. D. Denim', the 'within was carried without a division, and leave was given to bring in the Bill. CIVIL LIST. in reply to a question from Mr. • Mass, the Marquess of Los UONUERI:Y stated that the returns moved for, re lative to the third class of the Civil List, n =ai be present ed tomorrow. TUE NEW FINANCIAL PLAN. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a Committee of the whole_ house, on the provisions for the half-pay, and Naval and Military Pensions. IiIr.GRENFELL was proceeding to make some ob servations relative to the extension of the Bank of Eng land Charter, when The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that as this formed no part of the matters upon which the Committee was to be called upon to deliberate, the lion. Oentlemaa must he out of order. Mr. OREN PELL considered that it was perfectly com petent to him to chooses this subject upon entering tutu a Coimuittee of Supply. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER berged to inform the Honourable fientleman, that Ohl was hot e Committee of Supply, bat merely to consider of (piess lions relating to certain branches of the public expen diture. The SPEAKER also admcnislital the Honourable Member, that he was out of order. as the Committee of the house was about to resolve itself into, wu nut a Committee of Supply. • Mr. ORENFELL then stated, that he should take the first opportunity that might be afforded to bins to renew the subject. The SPEAKER having left th• Chair, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that a plan had been submitted on Monday night to the House by his Noble Friend (Lord Londorsularrv.) rela tive to the caodilieation of the Half-pay and * Pension List. His Noble Friend bad theu descrilsed she advant ages of the measure, and pointed snit the immediate an nual saving to the country of nearly the luau of three minions. The public attention appeared to he much excited on the subject, in consequence of the inti mation given on that evening-. His Noble Friend had merely given the outlines of the plan; it would be Isis duty to fill up the blanks, and to explain to the House the principle on which the measure was founded, and the ma terial objects which it haul is view. A great deal was of necessity to be deferred until the opinions of those who should become the contractors for either the whole or a part should be ascertained ; anal a great deal was to be left to the consideration of the House in the future stages of the Bill. In the present stage be only wished ta call their attention to some of the grineipal points of the measure. It might be asked, why dial not the Chan cellor of the Excbequer, in the first place, snake a bar gain with persons willing to become contractors, and then bring the subject before Parliament to receive its auction ? But his answer was, that it a as a measure:of so novel a nature, so much oat of the ordinary practice of finance, that be did not feel himself authonsed to antes iglu any treaty, or to pledge to a certaia extent the cos esirrence of the House. until he had received their sane tiou to the principle of the measure.

Mr. COKE presented a Petition from the inhabitants of a then in Norfolk, cotnplaiuing of distress, whit+ they attributed to excessive taxation ; and praying for the repeal of the tax on Salt. Leather, and Candles, par ticularly that ou Leather. The Hon. Member said he was convinced Government could give up that tax with out inconvenience to the public service if they were disposed to do so. Both Petitions were ordered to lie on the table. LICSNCING STAITEM. Mr. F. PALMER presented a Petition. which he stated to be numerously and respectably eigead, from the inhabitants of Reading, in Berkshire, complaining of the present system for regulating the brewing of public-houses in that town. Moat of the puhlic-houses were in the hands of brewers. who thus ?amassed a mo nopoly, and as a consequence, the inhabitants were Imp plied with indifferent Beer. The lion.

That of Rcform was been& forward by Mr. J.tmest member for Carlisle, in presenting a petition from a body of the inhabitants of that city. )Ir.
