Lord Si DMOUT fir moved the third reading of the Bill eatioliversirgioritices to search for arms. The Earl of DARNLEY said he did not rise for the purpose offermg any opposition to the two tion of the Noble Viscount, but to lament the ne cessity that existed for a measure of such extreme harstatess. and of a character so hostile to the mild spirit of the British constitution. He felt himself bound to admit the necessity of the Bill. but it arose, he feared, room the relaxed manner its which the existiug laws had been administered by the Go vernment. The provisions of the measures ought, however, to be as lenierit as the circumstances of the case could admit, and so be, if possible, framed so as to prevent the possibility of abuse. Neither of these objects was attained by the present Bill. nor was .1, iu his view of its operation, calculated even to effect the purpose proposed; for could their Lordships believe that if an individual really had arms in his house fur a bud or seditious purpose, he would not so secrete them, as to render it impos sible fur them to be detected by any search that could be made. The Noble Earl then alluded to • Bill passed in the reign of Wilburn and Mary fur • similar purpose, hut the power of search was con fined to day alone. and soot extended, as iN the pre sent Bill, so any hour of the night. The power also was given to two Magistrates. whereas in the present Bill it is granted to oat. For these reariona he could not consent to the third rerdnig of the Bill in its present shape. _ . , ARMY CONTRACTS. COMMIPIARIAT DEPARTNINT, TRRAIWIRT Cwavomeas, DECEMBER 3, ISH.

Mr. LIIIIIIINOTOW brougbt up a Bill for imposiag she usual annual duties un malt awl other commodities, *bids was read a first time, and ordered to be read • secood time to-morrow. ________. CITY PETITION. The Sheriffs of London having been called into the House with the usual forms, Mr. Sheriff Roth well presented a Petition front the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Loudon, in Common Council assembled, against the coer cive measures iu progress through Parliament. • The Petition was then read. In substance it prayed, that the House would not, in consequence of a temporary and exaggerated alarm, pawn laws permanently and universally affecting the liberty of the sabject ; and that they would early and ef fectually apply themselves to the consideration of the grievances under which the people laboured, and the devising of measures fur their relief. Mr. Aldermen Wuoo said, that its moving the Petition do he ma the table, he should take the opportunity of saying a few words on the general nature of the measures against which it was di rected, as he could not reconcde it to his notion* of his duty to give a silent vote on an occasion of such itnportence. The lion. Alderman then ad verted to the fact mentioned by Lord Castlereagh, in a former debate, of cart-loads of stones having been found on the ground where the Manchester meeting had been held. and to other statements by the same Noble Lord ; and observed, that very great stress had been laid within doors on his sen timents respecting the state of one of the distarbed counties, and very great exertions had been made to propagate theta outside. But all that the Noble ILord had slid althustely depended ou tho telatiana of, and credit due to others : °pintoes were all that had been laid before the House, sad tiny seemed • thorny. that there were tilt willies• of ocses 4.1 waste lands its Ireland, two mamas 1110 • half of which could, without much difficulty, be brought 'lmo a stets of cultivation, ell this was neglected. and a grant of 50,000 E. made to send the popula tion of both countries to the Cape of Good Hope. It had emu him great pleasure to observe that a favourable feeling had begun to manifest itself through the debates on the new measures toward* that, which was in reality one great source of the public complaints, he meant the cause of Reform. He trusted that the Gentlemen who had expressed themselves so forcibly on that *abject, would see lose sight of it. but take a lead on it, •od lotto duce some efficiekt plan of Reform, which would be most desirable ; for he was persuaded that had that been done before, the meetings which had led to such unpleasant cousequences. would not have been held. The people would have Reform, let the House do whet it pleased. They might impose new duties ins publications, with a view to introits the liberty of the press, or the circulatiou of poli tical writings, bust the manufacturers would do what he bad seen done iii Holland, Italy, and Ger many—they would join in purchasing a utwapsper. and cause one to read it aloud, whilst the rest worked—a practice which had indeed in some in stance* bee■ already known to exist at home. He should not detain the House much longer, though the subject was one in which the liberty of the. subject was deeply concerned. Two nieetiog* had been held in the City of London, but et oar of them nothing had beets done; the second had slot been atteoded by more than two thousand persous, and of these. if it were necessary, he could prove that above one thousand were spectators. He thought the Bill at present before the House so objectionable, that it ought to be altered alto gether. He should ouly further say that lie cot:- cuirell entirely in the sentiments of the citizens of London, stated in their Petition, and move that it lie on the table. Mr. Alderman THORP rose to express briefly ha cordial concurrence in the setitiments of the Pe thiourea. He was one of those who thought that a WOOS greater feelnag of alarm at flume large essemblica of the people had been endeavoured to tie excited thou they would justify. It was to bemire. dered that a large proportion of thus* who 'attend ed them were people out of employment ; and why:. it wale recollected that they were therefore in a state of want and wretchedness, ite could not help think ing that the House would have done better in taking their grievances into consideration, applying tliesoselvev to relieve them, than in at tempting to silence them by measures of a severe and restrictive nature.
