The Committee regret to state, that in consequence of the nearly exhausted state of their Funds, they are compelled to confine themselves to relieving those only Who are entirely without work, and even those on a reduced scale, giving to a man and his wife but :is. a week, and to single persons 3a. The utter insufficiency of this relief is too evident to require proof, and even this must vet r soon be discontinued. As the distress for want of employment continues undiminished, the Committee earnestly appeal to the benevolence of those who have in their power the means of mitigating the distresses of so large and deserting a body of their fellow-creatures, as are the Silk Weavers of Spitalfields, and trust that the foregoing statement will produce such an addition to their funds as may prevent the sudden drying up of those sources to which so many thousand poor persons have toJelok for the means of existence.

' Lord ELLENIMROUG H slid not approve of the Bill, anti 'he thought that no inentivenience would be experienced by the total abolition of the Manot, Courts. As he ;tad not had an opportunity of opposing the Bill at an earlier stage. he would wish to go into a detail of the clause's, and moved that the further - consideration of the Bill should be postponed until Friday. Lord REDESDALE supported the fill!. Tie did not think that the rejection of the present Bill would answer the object of the Noble Lord. The Earl of KINGSTON said the Noble Lord did not reflect on the injury which individuals Wbuld suffer by the abolition of the Manor Courts in Ireland. liord ELLENBOROUOM 'entild got see how a Lord of a t o Manor in Ireland would sotto. dr.! abolition of Manor Courts, ,art it had been proved In evideh Ware their Lordships that the Lord of the Manse could lust d . any adcastafie from a Manor Court unless he shared in the fees, a circetmettnee which fie-Lord ship hoped never occurred.

[The circurrmane , s of the ease have already been detailed in our paper of the llith of March, to which we beg to refer our readers.] The petitioner prayed that the llouve weirld.take her else into consideration. involve the whole magiatraey of the colotly. It would be premature ' at pre-ent to give an opinion on the Pubjct, nor could he anl. cipate what would be decided upon when all the information Was brought forward.

Mr. PEARS'S made some observations, which were quite in. audible in the gallery. Sir J. YORKE wished to know if the individual in question had gone to see the documents by which the Isle of sock had been effected. lie thought it possible that some mistake might have taken place in the signing of that document, Lord MILTON said, Mr. Name appeared to him not to have defended the Bank from what that Hon. Member had stated. It appfared that the Rank did not know whether the power of at torney, by which the stock was sold, was a forgery or not : that point was, in his opinion, quite clear: but the lion. Gentlemen would give him leave to say, that it was not equally clear that the Bank had afforded sufficient facility to this lady to become ae-• quainted whether there was a flaw in the power of attorney, and whether it was competent for her to avail herself of that error. She ought to have been atiOrded the necessary information on those points, nett he could not imagine under what impression it could bo withheld ; she Might to know whether the Bank acted under the power of attorney or not ; but by the eonduet.purstied he the Bank, she teas dopyived of the miss of ascertaining whether she had hem defreudat by a sale of the stock by a fagged haat:meat for that purpose. Mr. PEA RSE said she could file a bill in Chancery. Lo:t1 MILTON said that would be a useless exertion, whether it wan a long or a short one. The petition was thee read, and ordered to be printed.

Earl GREY presented a petition from J. llentleraon, complain ing of a grievance similar to others which had been lately laid be fore their Lordships. It was, that the petitioner was refused his right of admission into tiie Corporation of Dublin. The first step necessary to be taken by a person wishing to get into the Corpora tion was, to betome a member of one of the guilds, in which the petitioner succeeded, but he was refused admission into that Corpo ration because he was a Catholic. Even before lie could get into the guild lie was obliged to have recourse to a writ of mandamus, and he was quite unable to prosecute his claim any farther, par ticularly when he had to contend with the Corporation, supported as it was by all its riches. His Lordship thought. and he believed those persons most adverse to the claims of the Catholics thought, they should fully enjoy such privileges as had been conceded to them by law. The petitioner prayed that there should be intro duced into the Mandamus Bill then before their LortLships, a clause, giving double or triple damages against Corporations re fusing admission into their bodies to such persons as could establish their right to such admission. Lord CLIFVEN thought the conduct of the Trish Corporations unwise and unjust ; and that unless they altered their principles, they should be disfranchised. • The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that any person suffering from vexatious opposition of a Corporation, had his remedy in a Court of Law. The petition was then laid on the table. CORN LAWS. The Earl of MAIM ESBURY moved that there be laid before their Lordships a return of the prices of wheat in this country during the years 1023, 24, 23, and during the four months of 1826. His Lordship complained that, although he had seen a copy of Mr. Jacob's report in some of the Morning Papers, ten days since, their Lordships had not as yet had an opportunity of seeing it on their table. He hoped that before the two measures which were to he introduced by the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury should be passed into law, something like an inquiry would be instituted into the cause of the distress, as well as into the opera tion of the Corn Lass. In his opinion, the Corn Laws had no mare to do with the present distress than with the changes of the moon. It would also be necessary to ascertain what was the pro bable price at which corn should be admitted. There were so many important subjects connected with any alteration in the Corn Laws, that inquiry was rendered absolutely necessary before any measures were adopted. On that subject many mistakes prevailed, and on that account it wns the more necessary that it should be rightly understood.-_ , H4 Lordabip also gave noticie pf his intention to bring before their Lordships' consideration, on Monday, a mo tion to the effect, that no further alteration should be made in the Corn Laws, without an inquiry as to the effect of such alteration on the growers and consumers of corn. The Earl of LIIIERICK felt considerable alarm at the in tended changes in the Corn Laws, and he hoped their Lordships would consider seriously the probable effect of such alterations before they interfered with the existing laws. Lord ELLEN ISOROUt :11 did not intend to enter upon a dis. cussion of the Corn Laws, but he wished to express his apprehen sion that the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury would fall into the pit Which had been prepared for him by the enemies of the Corn Laws. His Lordship did not consider Mr. Jacob's Report as justifying any change. The book itself was interesting as a book of travels ; but it embraced only a small portion of the countries which might supply this country with grain. The districts to which that Report was confined did not embrace one fifth of the countries from which grain might be imported, and, therefore, no importance should be attached to a calculation that only a supply of ten days could be at present drawn from the countries in the vicinity of the Baltic, because Spain, Portugal, and other nations, might supply England with grain. If foreign corn were allowed to come into this market, the price must fall, and, of course, the consumption increase; and,therefore the passing of the first measure must necessarily call into action the second, and the admission of foreign corn would follow. The Earl of 31AL3IESIWILRY thought there would be advan tage in examining Mr. Jacob in person before their Lordships. It had been stated that bonded corn was full of filth and dirt, and un fit for use; but he denied that such could be the case, as 273,000 quarters had been imported since 1823. Lord TEYNH AM thought, that in the present distressed state of the manufacturers. it was desirable that corn should be cheap ; and therefore lie was favourable to the measures which were to be brought in by the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury. The Earl of CARNARVON said he should have some difficulty in voting for the admission of foreign corn, if it pledged bim to any preliminary approval of the intended measures, which he did not think available either for a temporary or pernianentpurpose. His Lordship was satisfied that no case had been made out to justify their introduction. Parliament ought to inquire, not into a part, but into the whole of the subject ; and that inquiry should be con ducted dispassionately, and without bias to either of the great inte rests which were involved in the subject. The return was then ordered, and their Lordships adjourned at o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY, MAY 2. • .....--. PETTY SESSIONS IN IRELAND. On the motion of Mr. S. RICE, the Petty Sessions M Ireland Bill was re-committed, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. YORKSHIRE: ELECTION BILL. The Yorkshire Election Bill went through a Committee, and the Report was ordered to be received to-morrow. HASTINGS FREEHOLDERS' BILL. _ _ Mr. SYKE§ moved the second reading of the Freeholders of Hastings Bill. Mr. F. LEWIS opposed the Bill, and moved as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. Mr. SYKES said, that if the House would allow the Bill to be read a second time that night, be would not propose going . into a .Committee upon it until the fullest opportunity had been given to obtain all requisite information upon the subject. After a few words from Mr. Joxes and Mr. S. WORTLEY— Mr. F. LEW IS said he would withdraw his amendment, if the Honourable Gentleman would postpone the second reading of the Bill. After a few words from Mr. CALCRAFT— INT.SYKES agreed to withdraw the Bill.. Mr. MABERLY moved for various Returns connected with the Linen Trade. Mr. ROBERTSON presented a petition from the shipowners of London, praying for a protecting duty in favour of British merchant vessels. CORN LAWS. Lord MILTON presented a petition from John Hill, stating that the people of Manchester were exposed to the greatest distress, through circumstances over which they had no control, and praying that the subject might be taken into the earliest consideration of the House. Mr. BROUGHAM said that he did not rise for the purpose of then entering into the discussion of the question which was shortly to come before them. lie had no doubt whatever as to the pro. privy of admitting the bonded corn. but the question as to• whe ther foreign corn should be admitted, might requira much greater deliberation. If the House were disposed to grant such adhere. Lionel power to the Crown, he hoped that whatever duty might now be fixed upon, would be the minimum of that hereafter to be imposed. Mr.Seeretary CANNING said. that in selecting a duty, his Ma. jesty's Ministers proposed to take that which stood at present, in order that no inference might be drawn one wny or the other as to the permanent duty which might he hereafter imposed. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentle. man if the duty proposed was to be P2s. only ? By the Act of Par. liament, the duty was 12s. • but there was a boating duty of Se. for die three months after Is opening of the ports ; and he then merely wished to be informed whether the duty was to be lb. or RESTORATION OF FORFEITED TITLES. Mr. Secretary PEEL said he rose to move the first reading of a Bill to restore certain Scotch titles which had been forfeited. He telt great pleasure In mal‘ing the motion, and he was convinced the House would sympathize in that feeling which animated him. The titles in question were those of Puffin, Ogilvie, Carnwath, Elchn, and Fitigask. James Sutherland was the gentlemen who Was to be restored to the title of Duffus ; anti the gentleman who was to be restored to the forfeited peerage of Ogilvie was the grandson of the person who had been attainted. It was held, that in case of at tainder, if the son survived the father who was attainted, the title was not forfeited. The other titles in this view were not forfeited ; but as a doubt arose upon the validity of the principle of law to which he had adverted, it was a matter of uncertainty whether thole titles verged into the right of the Crown. and the present Bill was intended to restore those titles, to which the llouee, following the example of what had been done last Session, would probably give its aasent. Lord MILTON said, if, as the Right Honourable Gentleman opposite had said, nothing was more agreeable to the feelings of any man than to do that which gave satisfaction to others ; an, on the contraryy, nothing could be so disagreeable as to do that which was dissatisfactory to others. It was his painful task to do the latter, which was suggested by a sense of duty. When the mea sure was first brought before the House, he entertained an opinion that it ought not to have passed. He did not express that opinion with an intention of conveying any unfavourable notion of the charactet of the individuals who were to be restored by the Bill to those torfeited titles ; they might be persons of the strictest pro. bity sad honour—men of the highest character, and persons who would in any station in which they might be placed, do honour to themselves and to the grade of rank in which they might be placed. But without meaning any thing invidious to those persons, he would say, that he could not consent that the House should pass a Bill which would restore titles which had been forfeited for the highest species of treason—not that *Melt might be technically termed treason against the King, his crown, and dignity, but agairst the liberties of the people. If a general Bill for the restoration of all titles which had been forfeited, whe ther under the Brunsw.ek, or under the dynasty which governed this country before—if such a Bill ha I been proposed, he would willingly have given his assent to it ; but tie thought it too much, that, in an Act of that kind, a selection should be made of those titles which had stood against the liberties of the people as web lished by the Revolution. He would ask why the Duke of Bac cleuch was not restored to the title of Duke of Monmouth ? He would have been glad to give his support to a Bill which would place persons in a situation to restore themselves. A Bill to restore those titles should stand on grounds of general advantage. He could not support such a measure as that before the House: he thought it probable he should stand alone in the opposition which he should give the Bill, but that would not deter' him from ex pressing his opinions, of which he was not ashamed. He regretted he had not stated his opinions on a former occasion. lie could not alt down without disclaiming any intention of adverting invidiously to the individuals who were to be restored to those titles ; as he had said before; they might be persons of the highest character, and worthy of having new titles conferred upon them ; ha could not, however, be persuaded of the propriety of the Mfalsare which the Bill was to effect. Mr. W. NVY;s:N said, if the Noble Lord (Milton) would look to the history of England, lie would find that the present measure was not by any means a novelty. He would there find similar nets of grace recorded. which he thought just and salutary ; ;the right which was vested In the Crown towards the restoration of such ho. nours,was productive of great good. The prerogativeof recommend ing to Parliament the restoration of titles so forfeited, was calculated to, and did in fact attach, the people to the Government. The exercise of the prerogative in the law of forfeiture, had greatly contributed to attach the people to the dynasty that governed them. Those who had lost their honours were by this means called upon to give pooofs of their honour and fidelity. They should have an owe- tunity of blotting out the spot which the Noble Lord had said was I fixed upon the honours of their families. He hoped the objection would not be pressed. Those persons had been ettainted for their attachment to the dynasty of the Stuarts, and it was worthy of ob. nervation that they had never acknowledged or submitted to that which was called in to succeed the ancient dynasty. Sir J. NEWPORT said he could not but regret that in the three reigns of the present dynasty, nothing had been done to re. store those Irish titles, which had been forfeited by the persons in possession of them having taken up arms in favour of the family of the Stuarts. He thought this act of grace ought not to be confined to the forfeited titles of one country, but ought to he mended to respectable Irish families, who had forfeited their titles in a similar manner. There were several such Irish titles which were not re stored. The title of Kenmare, which had been created by King James after he had resigned the Government of England, had been re-created by his late Majesty. Mr. Secretary PEEL said that all that had been said by the Noble Lord, and by the Right Hon. Baronet, would be completely answered by this simple statement, that the reversal of attainder commenced with the restoration of blood. He had himself felt great pleasure last Session in proposing to the House the restoration of the title of Stafford. (Hear,liear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he was much gratified by the conduct of the Right Hon. Gentleman last Session, relative to the Stafford Peerage. It had been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that when a son survived a father who had been attainted, the title was not forfeited.. Such a mode of reasoning was to turn a vicious metaphor into a principle of law. He thought the arguments of Sir Samuel Hominy were conclusive on that point, and had never been successfully answered. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be com• mitted to-morrow. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE IN NEW SOUTH WA LES. Sir M.W.RIDLEY said he felt it quite unnecessary to state the grounds on which he brought forward the question to which he would now refer. The Righ: Hon. the Secretary for Foreign Af fairs had laid on the table papers relative to the conduct of Magis trates in the Colony of New South Wales. Nothing could be niers, opposite to the character and feelings of the people of this country than the conduct of those Magistrates. It appeared upon the authority of the Grand Jury which met at Foramens, that there had been several particular instances of malversation of justice. Three individuals, Henry Drone, Richard Johnson, and M'Ouffy, had received twenty-five lashes every day, to extort information from them, previous to any conviction, and there were a few. in stances of torture after conviction to procure the restoration of property; but for these instances of malversation of justice an act of indemnity was passed. He thought there should he an fn. fusion of the law of this country and the authority of Parliament to check these abuses. He wished to hive the provisions of the Act of Parliament complied with, which required that all paoeta relative to the administration of justice in the Colonies should ha placed on the table of the House of Commons, six days after they were received. Ile wished to have all the information he could obtain on the subject. lie wished to speak of those matters ire they really were, and he would " nothing extenuate, nor let down aught in malice." His object was to promote the fair atiminie tration of justice. Ile would move for a copy of the order nestled against certain Magistrates in New South Wales, for malversation in their office, signed by Sir Thomas Brisbane (the Governor of that Colony), in the month of October, 182.1 e Also fur a copy of the protest entered against the Act of Indemnity which had been passed ; and for a copy of the indictment preferred against those Magistrates. Mr. W. HORTON was gratified by the terms in which the Ron. Baronet bad spoken of the Government. It was a subject of great difficulty, and it could be only by a clear analysis of the entire case that they . could arrive at a fair concleuritin on its merits. The practice of punishrnent to which the eon. Baronet referred, such as it was, had precedents to Oupport it; and any measure ihkeh wOuld Ise adorti • A qe r iding* c o t *Row to would IV. e. 00, Meting to the Cons Lets. . • On the clinemind ilieg put that the Speaker do leave the Chair , Sir T.

Gentleman. and atm with strong feelingts as to the awful rewponiebility either hinisch or any Member must irrur who was bold enough to interrupt Ott which was understood to be a measure intended to impart relief to a distressed portion 'of his Illnietay's settle:tie whom sufferings he most sincerely and deeply deplored ; yet, awful as moat he the si. tuition of one so presuming, he trusted the ileum would allow him to state what were the ground, of his ohjectione to thee mode of relief. He offered these objections in cl - e name of the agri cultural interest; mid the people of Itegliml ; and ire booed to show—though * clos! not, (tOttbileSa. so emeeernaly as many litmeirrableldernhere in that House—the ntlseik, n views, the fuller', which character red the membes of relief proposed. If he understood it rightly, it wes to this point,.—to let out the bond ed corn, subject to a duty of 12s. per (marten. This was the pro position submitted in the first place ; and to this, perhaps, be had not Co large an objection as to that which followed it—that whirls suns to be apprehended as its consequence. Hie objection to this measure was, because, in his opinion, it involved the whole quire. tion of the Corn Laws: if he was wrong in the view he MA of it', he was losing the time of the House; bat he could not conceive how it could be entertained without reference to the whole ques tion._ Somewhere about a fortnight had elapsed since an Hon. Member sitting near him (Mr. Whitmore) had brought forward the question, accompanying it with a great quantity of vslueble information, which had received considerable attention. Some of the arguments he used on that occasion were of a strange nature ; but he would not go into them at present. The question was, how was he met ? By all who spoke on the other side of the House, and by his Majesty's lilinistets particularly, he was told tins was not a fit dote for entering into the miestion. (Hear. hear.) 'l'M*, let it be recollected, was but a fortnight ago. Itihot had occurred since-to induce Ministers to change their opinions? Ihetrees ve ined then almost, if not guile, to the same extent as at present. The only difference he could discover between now and then was, that it had existed somewhat longer, and it might be said that it hsd not yet reached its greatest extent. He had heard the present disturbances attributed to the manner in *flitch the question had been got rid of. He would not, however, SPY this ; but father at tribute them to the sore distress which had been expener.ced, and which Ire most heartily regretted. He hoped this would be allevie coed they had led to a greet meeting that day, which had been attended by a lege number of individuals, who received invitations from the Right Hon. Secretary himself (Mr. Calming). and who called upon them to exertiee that benevolence which had at din-, rent times extended itself to all parts of the globe, in favour of those now distressed. To this reque.t he most heartily eubseribed. end had no doubt the recommendation would be carried into effect to the greatest possible extent. He wished it, however, to be borne in mind, that this temporary sort of relief wield effect no cute of the evil. If the Right Hon. Gentleman felt that it wet absolutely necessary to do something, would it not have been wirer it' he had come down to the House and asked for a certain surd of money to assist the natural operation of the poor laws ? The course pointed out by the law was, that if the poor rates of one parish were meufil. dent to answerthedemands made upon it, the adjoining parish was to be laid under contribution. This was a severe infliction on such parishes, no doubt, but this was the way in which the law provided. Then, as he had before observed, the Right Hon. Gentleman might have come down to the House for a sum of money whrelt would, at least, have been a more rational, more expedient, and more justifiable measure than, the one now contemplated. The course proposed absolutely went so far as to declare that the high price of corn was the cause of the existing distress, (Hear,. hear.) But he would ask, could any man In the House, or in the country, assert this The idea 'was a fallacy, which had been long nur tured, and was now in full vigour. It had been set forth, to affect the agricultural interests of the country. It bad been promwared amongst men who had no time for reflectum, and who, ITOtl/6003041:ag such knowledge as would assist them to a fair pereeptices of its merits, naturally fell into the error; and it was no wouder, therefore, that they had seen the table of that House for so long a time crowded with petitions. The cause of the pre sent distress was to be looked for and accounted for in divers ways, anti this was one of the grounds on which he celled on the-louse to resist the present motion. Ile knew it might be said that it was not intended to move a discussion of the general question of the Corn JAMS this !light; that 'hie was only a MIT. smeary measure, to afford temporary relief; bat, if this were the only object contemplated, it might be &twined as he bad suggested, and as it had been before. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said there were from 250,000 to elio,ooo quarters of wheat and flour lucked teri--he believed there was more than this; but if there was not, he was ready to admit that the setting of this free would not afford much relief to the existing distress. It must be viewed ' rather as something to soothe, than as that grand penmen wine people wished to consider it. Ile could not help, however, ob serving that this was not a manly way of meeting the question. After having heard so recently that this was not a be time for the distension of the question, he should have hoped that they would have hit en some other expedient in preference to the one before the House. He must say, that this appeared to him an attempt to gee rid of the Corn balm by a sithewintl. Of all questions this was one of the last that should be so disposed of; it ought to be fair!, looked to, and met in all its bearings. in 1811 and 1822, when be endeavoured to get the House to inquire into the real cause of the con of agricultural produce being greater in this oountry than in °theta, he failed ; but he could tell them. until they had insti tuted such an inquiry they would never be able to proceed on any thing like a sure foundation. He did not doubt he should be able to show, whenever the question might be discussed. that the growers of agricultural produce were entitled to a large, protection than that suggested by his Hon. Friend (Mr. W. Whitmore) or the Government. It' they proceeded with the measures content plated, exacting no greater duty than 125., they would canna a si. miler distress amongst the agriculturists to that experienced in the year 1821. Those who recollected that period would agree with him that the sufferings cf the class to which he had alluded, thotigh not made manifest by their breaking out into open riot, were trus' entensive. The reason of those individuals not having markcdt he time by any disorder was to be found, probably, in the fact of their not congregating in large bodies like the manufacturers. If the manufacturers were now looking to this House, and thought they could make an impression on it by the commission of out rages, he trusted they would be disappointed. Parliament was not to legislate for one class or for another. (Hear, bear.) It was to bear in mind the interests of the larger portion of the tosnmun i ty, and proceed on general grounds. (Hear.) He would ask, then, who re the hove pornon ? Who but the agriculturists? (Hear.) He trusted this would not be lost eight of. He would make one renteark in re ference to Mr. Jacob's Report. It was not before the House se noun as it ought to have been, and the consequence was, that his Hon. Friend, when he brought forward this question, derived &deviates from possessing the report, such as he (Sir T. Lethbridge) haelaiot been able towed himself of. He was now, however, ed to ask, whether any person looking to that report , coulralt their eyes to a fact on the fare of it, that this lemony lied not suffered by the gnawers of agriculteret moduce on the Continent not -being permitted to forward their produce here ? He would say, let them refer to the article headed " Wool." Let then look to that, end they would find, that since there had been no importation of coin trout the Continent they had given up the cultivation of it; but they had increased the cultivation of wool, as would be found by referring to thesauri» on the table of this House. According to his needles. tion of them, they amounted in 1822 to 11.000,00 or 12:000,0001ba in Ins or 1824, to 18,000,00; and in 1026, to 42.00,000 i (Hear.) If they looked to Ireland they would find it was brought into cul tivation simply by the encouragement given in our market, In Ireland wheat was 425. per quarter, while it was Oa. here. Before he could be persuaded that the present system was thet cause of the distress, he aunt have proof positive: he- would net be led hastily to adopt any new course; he would first see hie way clearly. Ile could hardly have thought Is possible that tan he fourteen days after his Hon. Friend had been denied his motion, Government would come down to the llouse with "'similar object. If the House admitted the proposition of the Secretary of State, that the opening of the ports should be at the discretion of ficepernment„ with a duty of only 125., who could say what would be the result ? He gave the Right Hon. Gentleman credit for his ability,- but lie was trot prepared to pin his filth on him (Hem), - with Goveee — • • • • nor could he go alcmg with tiovemment it, their prioeisdcs or free trade ' which he feared were carrying them out of their deptis (ctreeff)__lrcre taking them beyond the sate-ground mark.

Though' lie gave the Right lion.
