The preference was dscolettly with Mr. Limb, fur Iris principles were tatigildt —he plainly said how fir he meant to go on the question of Parliamen tary Reform. But so far from Mr. Hobliouse briny; decisive or clear on this point, it was evident he did nett understood himself; and now it came out. that irdiat lie had called it plan. was only a principle. Sir Francis Burdett had snapped his fingers at them two Jaya ago, and the Flettors had this day treated the Baronet as he deserved, by snapping their Bo ger% at Mr. Pliet:tt WALICEIt then came forward, and was o'er:tired with applause. hut the noise was still au great as to prevent our hearing him distinctly. A* the hour was late, 1w said he would defer mail a future occasion the remarks which he meant to make, and would at 'Kerala merely say, that though h e w ou ld hr .ilways anxious to pay becoming defer since to Sir F. Burdett, he could not think of pay ing the same to his nominee, against Major Got %slight, Whit was a cites at. ins the cause of the people. In the Major's exclusion, he thought there was great injustice. It had been stated yes terday by Mr. Hoblionse, that the friends of Major Cartwright had canvassed yesterday for Mr. Lamle. They had done no such thing; rot tact, they had not cativasstd for their own Irwin!. They had cow.. terencerl no canvass h,r themselves, awl it was very unlikely they would for another. If of the two Cn itliclates high Nona the roll a referehee were to he given to either, he should t ertainly prefer Mr. Lamb. Whatever respect lie felt for Sir F. Bur dett, he could never transfer it to his nominee, to he Used against the venerable patriarch of Reform. Ile objected also to the trick tool delusion that cha racttrized the procredniga of Mr. Hobhouite's Committee. He knew that Committee well, and bad not only learned pattence, but endurance among them. In Ins ° l mmo', instead of a meeting WI any private room to fix lot a nomination, a public meeting shuoi l have been called. If that had been t h e case, hti Ise was iter•eded the venerable Major would have hail the support of the electors. He (Mr. Walker), had his objections to the Whigs. as well to to the Tories; but the former, if they had nut done as much as they ought to have done, were certainly frte from the acts of criminality which disgraced the latter. They had no dungeon deeds or Gagging Bills to answer for. They were at least free from silos of so heavy a dye—and there were cases like the present, iii which they (by com parison) were entitled to support. At six o'clock the crowd began to separate—it was greater than we remember to have seen it on any former day. The hustings was PO completely crowded towards the close rif the Meeting, that we observed Mr. Vest! , Fitsg-rald, nod route other Members of Parboomed, stationed 011 the booths in (resit of the hustings,. than Sir Clurtstopher flawkow, one of the 1 borough proprietors in the kin t oluon —lse owl • .. of the Cornish borough., and &godly rein I.'ellwrs to Parliament.

Sir JouN Nsiwoone ',resented r Petition from several Freeholders of the County of Cork, stilt log, that on the 22 , 1 or January last they peti tioned the (loose against the return for that comity, and praying teat the time for entering into recog. tripoli:es might be enlarged. The Right Hon. Margret obsessed, that a variety of circumstances inclined him to think that what lie stated to the Home last Hight was perfectly correct, tosinely, that it was generally believed in Ireland that the provisions of the 53.1 of the King did not apply to that country. The return of recognizances just presented to the House, went a great way to prove that a in 11411 plot heission prevailed in that country on the subject. He hoped, under the circum stances, that the Hons.! would- adopt some mra su►e to obviate the ilifficolty, and to afford impar tial justice. The Petitioner's Agent was examined at the Bar, as to the truth of the allegations in the Petition. Mr. WYNN foul, it was evident that a miscon ception as to the Act prevailed in Ireland, though it appeared to I im an extraordinary unscouception. It Was supposed were that the Act did not extend to Ireland ; and the only ground for that supposi tion was, that the fir , t clause of the Act was con. lined to England and Scotland, but the subsequent clauses clearly related to Ireland. This miscon ception was not, lie observed, confined to the un learned part of the community in that coun try ; for it appears that Mr. Crabbett fell into the same error in his Digest. a work which the Honourable Gentleman described as one use ful of its knit'. The author of that work went to say, that the provisions of the Act were con fined to Great Britain. In those cases he felt in clined to grant the provers of the Petitions. But there were oilier Petitions presented to the House (we understood the Honourable Gentleman to al lude to the Petitions from Drogheda and from Galway) ; the cousideration of throe Petitions was discharged, and it was, he conceived, beyond the power of Parliament to entertain them. As to the other Petitions ',rearmed from Ireland, it would be too hard to shut the door against them, as the peo ple of that country appeared to have acted under a misconception of the law. He would take the li berty to suggest that a short Bill should be brought in, stating, that vertaiii doubts had arisen on the construction of the 53(1 of the Kure—that it wits desirable to remove those doubts --and then to al low further time to the Petitioners to tinter their recognizances. This lie submitted to the House as a measure that would obviate the difficulty. Hr did not think it wrothd be just, iii this tostaisce, to adhere to precise rules, because that would have the effect of striking off all the Petitions from Ireland, and of shutting the doors of Parliament against complaints, some of which, at least, might be just and constitutional. Mr. B. BATllUitsr modes few observations on the question. It was, be was willing to admit, a serious question, but he considered that any measure now must be of a retrospective nature, and ought not to be entertained by the House. Nlr. BANK LS said it was now absolutely necessary for the House to consider the most proper course to pursue, 111 his opinion, either the subject should he referred to the consideration of a Cm 1111 l litre, or an early day should be appointed to proceed on it in the House. It was not right to keep the Yeti. bons in suspense, an early ti,•terminatiou should be rustle on the subject. He (Mr. Bank..s) was greatly inclined to lean to the proposition of his Illotiosit. obit Friend (Mr. Wynn) ; in his ()pluton it would be much, better to ilitroduce a short Bill that. to shut out the entire of the Irish Petitions..— Certainly the House were bound either to refer the matter to a Committee, or to appoint all early day for the discussion of it. Having thrown out so much, lie begged, however, to observe, before be sat down, that he bad I IPA 11141(le up any decided °pimp," tor the question. It Was one of serious im post, and should receive every consideration that the Ilinor could bestow tin it. The SPEAKER soli:, that two applications had been made to the Meuse to enlarge the time for entering into recognizance.. These applications were refused ; but farther time was given to receive information from Ireland, whether the re;•.ognizaeices had been entered into there in due time.— There was no case yet before the I - louse, where the orders un Petitions haul been dis. charged. The applications for further tune had been refused, but the order. on tiles;! Petitions were left siaudtng, and are in force. The Speaker fur ther observed, that as the House had already, in two cobra, re labed the application for an enlarge. anew of time, oily order now would he leaving con tradietory resolutions of the hlouse usi one and the bathe case.

Mr. TIERNEY said, the general subject of the Slave Trade embraced all the Treaties that hail taken place with reference to it.

A mere conversations on what had taken place its the last five or six months was a very different matter. Lord CASTLEREAGH conceived that some conver sation might arise, which would afford an opportu nity fur shelving, that it did not rest on his Ma. jesty's Government to call on the House for au o[ll.. coitus on the puisit alluded to. lie did not meals to call for any opinion of the House on the subject, but that did toot preclude observation. Mr. TIERMEY said, the course of the Noble Lord was extraordinary. " To-morrow," said be, " the question relating to the grant of a sum of money. I will enter into the general subiect of the Slave Trade." Could any thing be more absurd ? The Noble Lord stated, that he would not call for any opinion on this Treaty. That might be vet v true—but Gentlemen might, notwithstanding, wish to favour him with their opinion.—(4 laugh.)
