Ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed. FOREIGN SICK& Mr. RARING aid he had beers requested to present a most numerously signed petition from the almost unanimous body of silk-manufaettirers to Loudon Clear); and had he brought the petition forward at an earlier hour in the evening, be should have eorsidcred it his duty to enter fully into the subject. It was no exaggeration, however, to assert that this was a petition of the most vital importance, and she impression of the silk-manufacturers was, that if the priaciples of free trade, as they were termed, were carried into effect in this instance, the consequences to them would be most pernicious. The reduction of thity, they admitted, would, or.der promr regulations, prove most advantageous to them ; yet, not, ithsnusding the boon, they unanimously refused it, if it was to be accompanied by a free importation of silk manufactured goods. This trade principally, if not exclusively, depended upon fashion ; and the immediate consequence would be, that the silk French Mops esiabbesed in this metropolis would carry away all the busi seou Nowsermel of the gnat tame-were titled vitth salt-menu fat-lavers among others the town that h; had the honour of repro sentirg (Tatman} MI then that their people asked was, that you should lease them alone. (Ilene.) lie thought that the Right Hon. Oeudenian had acted rightly in not taking the opinion of any portion of the trade on this measure. An Inquiry ahotthi have been previously instituted, and it should have bete ascertained what was the advantage of the proposed measure. Instead of that, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had precipitately adopted a measure which certainly had the peculiarity of itivi%g most d'ssatisfaction to those whom ii professed to relieve. Ile should move, th:zefore, that the petition be brought up. Mr. secrctary CANNING said, that no man was more disposed than himself to agree, that every important legislative enactment should be the subject of discussion and inquiry. The Honourable Gentleman had maintained not unfrequently in that House, princi. pies very much at variance with his present petition, and Govern ment was now placed in this situation ; they had yielded to the res. soning, for it was his too, of the Honourable Member himself ; he had Mimed upon them the necessity of breaking them:sit these unnecessary restrictions, yet jpst as they were about to emancipate commerce, they were met in their lint practical illustration by the Honourable Member for Taunton, and urged to leave restriction for tbe precut just where it might again be exposed to his eloquent reprobation. In every debate on this subject, the Ilan. Member for Taunton had pressed, with all the authority and might to which his observations were so well entitled, the justice and policy of a free trade, and to-night he had displayed his acuteness by urging in favour of the exception to his own general rule. If there were pe culiarities in this ease it was quite right that they should be taken into consideration, hut he saw nothing in the cane shown to justify a departure from the general priaciple. If no alterations in the re steictivesystein were amide until all could be made at the same time, then might the Honourable Gentleman preach up tl.e utility of itis risen! principles, without the 'lightest chance of their being into op e rati o n. _ _ , .. Alr. N51.1N observed, that ha had ever been accustomed to I advocate the principles of a free cornmerea, and if in this instance he appeared to depart from that practice, the departure was not Jere canetlartle with consistency. The removal even in the present In. stance would, he thought, ultimately produce. even to the manu facturer* themselves, the most beneficial consequences. (liear, bear, from the 31inisterial benches.) He admitted that to the fullesi extent, but he wished the change to be gradual, and the removal to be effected with as little inconvenience as possible. it was tit to pause before they legislated even in a liberal policy, when they knew that ranch alarm was the certain effeet, and much distresa the pro be& consequence of that lrgislation. There were many taus width might be repealed, and the repeal would give much more general relief than the reduction of the duty on silk. When the Hight Hon. Gentleman brueght forward his budget, he was nut aware that thetas on law proceedings would be repealed. yet he had since most wisely reduced it, and the reduction bad given general satisfaclon. It had created much more satisfaction than the reduc tion of the duty on silk, and it would be Much more grateful now to the country if heconsented to thelepeal of the window tax, and contir.ued the duly no silk. Mr. 111.7SKInSON said, when he saw the Hon. and Learned Ciestleinan rise, he was quite convir.ced that he rows to vindicate some principle of constitutiatud law—to complain of the Indiction' to which the subject was liable. under what he had frequently been pleased to term the oppression of the law, and the uncOnstittitional privileges with which it invested officers for the purpose of ena bliag them to seize prohibited goods. Ile was, however, very much surprised to fiad, that instead of defending the right of the subject, he contented himself with advocating the continuance of the duty on silk. (A laugh.) The Ilon. Illembor for Taunton had stated that the ruin of the manufacturer must follow from the admission of French silks. Be had not informed the House upon what authority he had made that ststemont, but he could inform the House that which had been stated by a French writer of consi dorable (internee, that the exports of ::ilk manufwured goods from this country exceeded those of France. How•slid that happen ? No bury had been gieen by this country, and if we were enabled to meet then in foreign markets, how much better could we meet them at home with a duty of thirty per cent. upon the French silks imported to this country ? It lied been said that they had not 'Witch:n:ly inquired before they came to this de,ermination of re- Inking so much of the reduction on silk. But had they not betore them the Report of the Committee of the House of Lords, upon which occasion the most respectable and the must intelligent members of the body of silk manufacturers were examined ? Now, with this and the reiseated admonitions of the Menher for Taus. ton, could they hesitate to remove these obnottimis nttrietions? Mr. I).II'ENPI)ILT said, considering the lateness of the hour (a laugh), lie would merely say that he looked upon the proposed removal of restrictions as a complete extinguisher to our 'nano fact( ry of silk. 3lr. ELLIS obszreed, that the silk manufacture of England was but • recent introduction, and had always been rivalled by the French, but rot with respect to our cotton manufactures; they had long been the ettablished manufacture In this country. As to legaitzing the sale of silk and laying a duty upon it, even to the amount of 30 pa cent. it would nut he aea:lable, for that only Ls a useful tax which nutches the revenue ; but this article would be brought into the market by the smuggler. And the manufactured should also be considered, in reference to the value of labour, which !oust add three, four, five, or six times to the value of the article. There was • second point of view in which the question was to be considered. The taxes in this country were much higher than in azy other country. How, then:thee, could the English artisan compete with the foreigner. whose taxes were so much lighter? In the alteratians which he wished to make, he thought the Right lion. U.:ad...visa did not begin at the right end. The manntoe. titer, had known en obstacles in the way of an arrangement. Ile would mate to the Howse, that,trom the high price of iebetie and the advence en provisions, it was an utter iinpwibility for the Eng, lish artisan to compete with the foreigner. The rink weaver of:Co -1 sentry, to his own knowledge, earned but six shillings per week and the piaster wearers could not be accused of harshness or ili trearmeet to these poor men. Mr. PEEL said, th. • lion. blember for Coventry had used two n,utwenty in sn open of his opinion. into•which if be had inquired mly, he eituld find. them directly hostile to treasures o f which he was the supporter. One of these argittnenti was, •• You him selected the an trade for the purpose of applying a aysteni of pro ' blbuion to it; why confine your system to this in particular ? ply it to other branches of your manufacture as welL" This was assuming on the part of the Hon. Member, that our policy was on.. of prohibition, and the sys.om of which he complaieed re.. ap. plied and could L: exhibited to all the branches of our manufactures which were flourishing—to our manufactures rte steel, in 'Mk s% &ie.; these branches had succeeded, and were flourishing, without any prohibition* whatever. With regatd, therefore, to the silk wade, we had a system to conclude, not to commenee ; and the pro hihition upon that trade war a remnant which should be abolished and done aeon w id: . • and the trade in silk would, as well as every other manufacture of the country, thrive and prosper. The ancond ar. gument used by the notioutahle AlCalba wax peculiarly straaget it maintained our prodnctions in silk to be quite inferior in work manship and fancy to those of France. lie would turn this argu ment upon the Hon. Member, and say this inferiority was in new intent* of these very prohibitions. Why not therefore remove them ? Why not take away the wools* which ezistall at present, and win milks a tree and legal entry sour Ilse country ? and that, even admit. Iles the tenth of another arguinent•telied apou by the lion. Mem ber, the higher price of labour in this count; arising from the dif. irissesee of taxatum, Ragland cauld Mao eatespeeition with France. and compete with her in the if .all prohibi tions acre removed, and a legal entry given to silks; mad as all MAW trades and manufactures flourished without the aid of prohibitions, he saw no reason to imagine whit the bilk trade should rot be equally prosperous. The lion. Member had made a distinc tion to which he could not secede, that the trade in silk was not a native trade of this country. He ilid.eot know how this distinction could be supported ; he did not me how the silk trade could be reckoned less a native trade than cotton. Ile would maintain it to be • native trade ; it had fl ourished in England for forty ur fifty years, and, therefore, it could not he proper!; e . eluiletl from those trades which are, by the public, generally Mcounted The Hon. hlember for Taunton had asked, . what authority was there fur tie plan ? 1V ho were the sponsors for the measure? H. *weld tell that Hon, Member who kis sponsors wen. It d for support uppn those broad and general priinipl e s so orl e e 4 . l , fended and supported by the Hon. Member himself; it was pounded upon the high authority of those principles. After all the declamation Which the (louse Thad been in the habit of hear. ing upon these subjects--after the priraosale which hued been made, —after the utscumaione which had taken place, upon these sound, and broad, and general principles, let it not be said that the House had given then, tip, that it had not courage to persevere, that it was influenced by local and personal internits, shove which it ought to rise. It such Were the conduct of the House, the benefit arising from thew sound and general principles would be lost, the appro. bation of them would go for nothing, and these very principle would themselves be injured If Ministers were compelled to give them up and abandon them. Mr. ELLICE explained. Mr. PHILLIPS /mild not conceive how a duty taken off' a raw material could injure the manufacture; some duties, to his own knowledge, went to the extent of extinguishing the exports, and ought to he repealed at once. As to the measures pursued by his :Bounty's tiovernment, he conceived them to be most bent ficial to the country, and he trusted they would persevere, In the selection of the taxes to be reduced. The object of the Ministers was not popularity ; if such were their object, they might select taxes, from the reduction of which popularity might he gained, but which would not contribute so much to the wealth and prosperity of the country. ( llear.) sir J. NEWPORT said, though in the habit of giving opposi. don to his Majesty's Ministers, be CO{oll not, upon this occasion, refrain from expressing his sincere grhituile to those Ministers for the benefits they had conferred upon the country ( Hear); and his earnest hopes that they would persevere in the course they adopted. (Hear.) He gave them credit for their nut aflectina popularity; there were in ow system great evils which should be removed ; and when great interests were at stake in them tininess systems, there was a great outcry against their removal, and this removal was ge nerally attended with great piesent inconvenience and hiss. Ile Loped Ooverninent woi:'.d look these difficulties steadily in the face. He gave his entire :Ind unequivocal support to the King's Minister% itairthanked them, front the bottom of his heart, for the course they ' pursue& and hoped and trusted they would persevere. Ni'. LIMBERLY said he would not detain the Homo. The Member for Coventry laid it down as clar, that the people of this country could not compete with those of other countries, on account of the weight of taxation. This matter, however, was not so char; there were two onisions upon it. Tile late Member for Ponarling _ ton thought the'high price of corn did not affect the price of other commodities. The muster therefore was not so settled as the .hence = her for Coventry supposed. . . 3lr. T. WILSON would not detain the Houtz by entering upon any details; but, as a Member for the city of London, he thought it necessary to make a few remarks. He joined eineerefy in the tribute which had been paid to Ministers fur the steps they pur sued towards the country. With respect to the nuasure before the House, he would discuss it when it appeared on a future occasion, though he bad doubts if he could support it, emodostently with the opinion he gave noon a former occasion. Ile thought Ministers were beginning at the wrong end; he disliked half-measures; the corn trade should he regulated at the same time. The people of this country should be allowed to cat their bread as cheaply N those of other countrics. Ile had one consolation—Joe heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer assert, that he was not unwilling to enter into a discussion upon the subject. lle knew this task would not be an easy one; it would be a matter of mat difficulty to put the people of this country on a par with foreigners. lie agreed with the Member for Coventry, that if th;vernment imposed a tax of ten per cent. upon an article, and if it was smuggled into the market, that impost would be of no value to the Government. Mr. LYTTLETON would not enter into any details upon the subjeet. He owed it as a duty to his constituents, to declare he would give it every opposition in his power. Mr. HOME said he would call the attention of the House to one point which seemed to escape observation. It was agreed upon all hands :hat this was the petition of the trade. But who were the petitioners Were they the masters, or the workmen, or both ? and what were the Ministers about? They were leaving the duty on the raw material, whilst tin.) , were taking it off the menu. factored article. It was. in his opinion, of great importance who the petitioners were—whether the employers or the employed. If the 23 per cent. were taken off the raw material, it would cause a proportional increase in the consumption of the manufactured ani cle ; and those individuals who petitimed under mistaken ideas would feel an increase of wages to that amount; and the reeult would he a spur and stimulus given to the home consumption of the ankle. Ile had known articles of this manufacture male in this country, merit to the mum, and soli there to persons who fan cied themselves great judgrs of such ankles as foreign. (Hear.) If therefore, under the present system, we approached so newly to the foreign article, it was not too much to predict that we could compete fairly wi;h foreigners when the duties were taken off. As to the duties which mote persons called for, 30 per cent. could not protect the trade, nor 20 added. Here, therefore, was a trade that a duty of 30 per cent. could not protect, and in his opinion it should not be protected at all. If the system of the Minister was acted upon, so far from being an injury it would be a source of nutter:al benefit to the country. lie therefore trusted the Minister would persevere, and would repartee himself, no this as on other OCCaIIII2OIIS from ideas of partial interests, and the issue would be, he would ;eceive the thanks of the country, even of those against whose present wishes he carried the measure. Sir „I. WROTTFISLEY pmtested agair.st a principle that had lately been acted upon—that other persons knew interests of indi viduals better than those individuals themselves. This principle was acted upon with regard to the silk manufacturers, and also with respect to the landed interest. These petitioners told the House, 1/ short time back that they were contented, and that their workmen were all happy and employed ; now they state that they were obliged to discharge their workmen . lie would ask the Right lion. tientlemin opposite, how Ling this state of comparison was to last. Men whose: bread depended upon their employment mere not to be overlooked t something should he done at once. The measure should be penieveretl in if it were cundueive to the good of the country, or it should be given up at once. Many other measures should be also given up; the coal duties, which were sa tisfactory to all, except the rmidems of London, should be su ff ered to remain. The Right Honourable licittlernan should abandon his Window Taxes, which gave such general dissatisfaction. Ile should give up his half million for the building of churches, and the reduction of the IVindow Tuxes would give the people of Lan don ample aetisfaction for the Coal Duties. Mr. J. S3IITII said, it was incomprehensible to him, when the raw material was cheaper than before, why the manufacturer should sayVte was rained. He denied that taking the duty off the raw ma. terial would injure the manufactured article. lie offered his heart felt gratitude to the lilinisters for their conduct. and approved highly of the energy and spirit with which they caried their plans nto effect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the matter arising out of the petition was so ably discussed r e the lion. Mete. bens around him, end was supported in NO disinterested a manner by Hon. tientleumen at the opposite side, that it would be a corn. plete waste of time, open his part, if he attempted to strengthen the arguments which had been advanced. Ile rose merely tot the purpose of answering the question pet to him by an lion. Baronet and the Member for Ceventry, its to how long this state was to con tinue. Ile knew the bail etinsequences of protracted delay and un certainty upon the port of ilovernmert, in givin;an explicit view of the measures it was determined to adopt; and he wished to come to a definitive pleasure as early as possible but some of the parties concerned in the matter had wished to hold communication with him, and some athein hail been with him that vet; des.; souse other individuals also wished to communicate with btu', before be made ; a definitive arrangement, and therefore he would make a statement: upon the occnsien on Monday, whin the House vr-tuid be eecupird Price 7tl. with a Committee of the Custom Acts; wad he would then etatcs sour to frame some menet Mr.Aldennan BIIV $ add, use peniins employed amoun•- ed to giuiLleio, and he imp the Ministers, whom he had tr., D t d honour tn.look at (laughter), not to add to the distress of so n..

And how, lie,wocild ask, could the English artisan compete with a tiweigner in a foreign vieakal? Therewas an erroneous impres sion respecurga free trail; : it was supposed there was a fres trade to India; there was not. ileet could there be free trade to that country, there no person is suffered to go without thi? consent and permission of the rlue red:a Company ? With respect to the silk trade, there wen penutle. not more than five or six persons in India who under stood it, and were judges of its wittiest* bearings ; and he knew a person educated in this country odes to acquire a perfect knowledge on the trade, and when heliequived the neareurry information, wed applied for permission tc, (Tie India Compeop, be was reillured.

How, therefor, could we have, a free trade with Inglis when it was le sae pew of twenty-60r individuals to preventpersons skilled in trade going to that aiuntry, and these twenty-four individuals, at astatine time interested in the prohibi tion : of this circumstance he was himself aware, and he mention: I' it as a material fact. M,ae it *in or poiitic to lay a tax of three. pence on Bengal, and silt-pence upon Italia" silk ? Was this us ing in conformity wilt the Inted, genend, and sound principles, of which so much had been spoken ? Why not leave the Italian Wks upon spar with those of, tuner countries ? Why speak of general principles, and lin the vary first Parliament after they were admit. ted and discussed ? IVtlygict in direct opposition to them ? lie would even deny that the Itertenue received any benefit from tax.. ation on rah material. 31r., W. IVI . NN het no recollection whatever of the petition alluded to being preiented to the Board of Control. He would state for himself that since he bad the honour of a seat at the board he had not neglected I dingle petition ; he inspected them with the greatest attention, It was *tame" to consider how the law stood as it affected the um; though, the petition was first presented to the Company, it should pass under the view of the Board, and in some cases the Bawd differed from the Company, and it gave permission to go to ladikengen it was refused by the Company. Permission WWI never refused so an i-,dividual who had either employment or a chance of employment in the country; they could by law refuse no individual who wished to go for the purpose of entering into partnership, or fur any of the purposes . of trade and commerce. Ile had no recollection whatever of the petition spoken of by the /lon. 31 ember. Mr. C. HALIIIIIIAND said. the individual he alluded to wi a Mr. Brown (we believe) who endeavoured to Fo as a clerk to the house of Palmer and ro. in Calcutta ; the application was made in general tames to send hint as a clerk, and permission was refused. lie was.infermal nu attention would he paid to his petition by the Board of Control, and therefore he did not petition at all He made no applicivion at all, and he admitted his case was, in this part of it, evicted. 3/r. IVY NN said if the application was nucleon the benslf , a clerk, lie had no hesitation in saying he would be refused per. mission. (Hear, hear.) It would be peculiarly hard if the natives were to by excluded from the situations they were by law corn. petent to fill. The natives and tho.e of half castes were not' to be excluded; and those clerks who went out in many cases either obtained no emplo t or were retained but for a short time, and thus became adventurers and rivals to the natives. Sir 'l'. bIiTHERIDOE complained of Ote second speeches made by the two Hoo. Members. lie had in cersaquence nearly lost tl , c thread of his 'tegument. He dirta(pplnvtd entirely of the idea of a free trade, and insisted that it wou ld never be acted upon. He deplored the mischievous tendency of the doctrines of Mr Ricardo, who lett din him a memory lotai dhcrrespeeted hy all, but his doctrines en political economy, 'lmbed as they wife it an attractive dress, only served so bewail." others as math Air they did the lamented individual himself. lid dlerdber (Mr. Nag) to 'go tohis banllit,Va e llit e ak tntstst ki llft and thence to his library, and then carry into effect and panitite his ideas of a free trade. He was of opinion the cots laws would be soon altered. He was lei to this opinion from the present prier: of provisions. He did not wish for prices toe high ;he was satis. lied as they were present. He called ppm Ministers to take t . those taxes which were most setiously feh, and to remove tuifair, partial, end detestable assessed tares. Mr. EVANS complimented he Ministers on their not secki for popularity, in reducing those taxes from the diminution which more real benefit would ensue than from other measures, which would be more popular. He thought nil duties whatever should be repealed on the intercourse between England and Ireland. Mr. MARINO would say • few words. There should, in opinion, be drawn a wide diatinction between the duties oil articles passing from this island to Ireland, and to foreign countries; in hi, idea of a free trade. Ile did not go so far as the pnliticrd econo mists. He wished for the free Introduction of the raw Material ; he wished to make this country the entrepirt of the world ; but thi j i he would not allow without reciprocal advantage. He would not go as far as the pure theory of the political economists, who main. taind that if you could get your commodity cheaper at Lyons tbs., at Spitahick!. yon should go to Lyons. He never did_ he nes,- would carry hie doctrintat to this length ; but if trade was carried with the Continent whilst these countries were shut out from it, . Continent *oldd not take these articles In while we have advantages. But nothing was allowed by the opposers of the prhsetpres the pe tition refeered to, for the habits of trade. They all Pnew that trades would ire themselves at imr:iestlar plans, without any immedie• curie bring apparent. Manchester hid its cotton manufactut Shcflielfl its cutlers ; Lyons was remote, for manothrtures of sulk Nuremberg for tee.; and Geneva for watches. It was quite ab sun' to suppose that his good watelies might not he made at Dove as at Genera, by equally skilful workmen, but from occidental c!: runisnititees, particular manufteffircs attached to particular place It was in vain to endeavour to hod an origin for it, but it was ot Curious thrk 'tome towns inn a start of others in certain branches manufactures ; and so deeply rooted were they at the placers wit they conimenced, that it was very difficult to remove them. instance, if the cotton and cutlery manufactures were removed from Manchester and Sheffield to hydra, they would still, for a coasi. derable length of tithe, continue to send cottons and cutlery to l'ontinent. and Lyons would will send silk for a long pert to t country. Highly as hr appreciated the talents and information of lamented friend, Mr. It icnnlo, he could not accede to his opinion, he held it t that the price of provisions haS nothing to do with t price of labour. He was convinced the price of provisions • closely connected with the price of labour. He wished to ask tlt who opposed Oda petition why the price of labour did tot anvil silk as well as cotton ? There were no experts of silk manu?acti from this country; always excepting those articles that were ni of India silk. Stockings were the principal article expeeted. 'Et was no market nir any manefatture of French sod Italian silks ft this country. Ile was anxious to do justice to the measures cf Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Huskiasen) and his code:int who appeared to wish honourably to do their duty, and he p: cularly applauded them fax not catching at popularity ; whies haul shewii by their measures was not an object with them, es . had propssM some that were contrary to the views of persons wlr.se good opinion they would have sought had they oniy InoY for popularity. Did he believe the opposition to the petition n welldliunded, he would not support it ; and, if his constituents asked him to do that which he thought inconsistent with the p of the country, when they put the petition into his hands, be w not have presented it. Mr. DAVENPORT said a few wont% in favors of the peril which was brought up, read. and entered to be printed. Mr. W. SMITH presented is petition nestle similar in its, to the one that had just been read, front sonic highly respectable! viduals of the city that lie represented, but which in fact was thi tition of the silk and worsted nianutacturens of Norwich, pea that )(mg wool might not be exported. The agricultural Lic did not demand that it should he exported, as mad Lore a ran , rating price, and there was no occasion to pewee it in the It market. The lion. Member read one clause m the petition, w stated, that whilst the peti•ioners atorthiplated with satrfaci the conduct of Ministers with inward to silt, they hoped an hut diate application of the principles on which they wife' would take place, as, whilst the stock in hand was undisposed of, the ' nufacturrr could not employ his workmen to unumfactitte silk, cause the price was too high for them to work it up. In one or years the manufactures of this country would be on a frotin compete with those of other countries, provided Minia:ers did immediately act upon the principles they laid dawn. The peal was then read by the Clerk. It prayed the House net to allow exportztion of long wool—lt was ordered to be printed. • RECIPROCITY OP DrrarAt. In answer to a question from Mr. CURTEIB, retpeetir: Reciprocity of Duties, Mr. III'SKISSON stated, that the Act e'rpowerd his Ma, to lay on countervailing duties, whenever he should find it neon= on foreign tonnage. France had laid en a duty upon British tc nage, which he hoped she would discontinue) but should that he the case, he should consid.r it necessary to lay on a counter ing duty on French tonnage.

HOUSE OF LORDS, PIIDAY, MARCH & At a quarter before four o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Simattsbury, and Lord Reilesdale, took their seats as his Ma jesty's Commissioner. to give the Royal assent to certain Bills that had passed both Biasses of Parliament. The Commissioners. on taking their stars, ordered the Deputy Other of the Black Rad to require the attendance of the Cantatas Ito hoar hie Majesty's assent given, by commission, to se►eral Bills. In a few rotators the Speaker of the House of Commons ■pp-- at the bar and beard the avmmission read ; after which the following Bills received the Royal assent :—Thz Exchequer Bills (115,090,0001.)

Earl FITZ WILI el A3l prevented o petition fmm the inhabit ants of lioncast.fe and its vicinity, praying the House to ameliorate the condition of the slaves in the West inches; which was ordaed to be laid on the table.

AtISTRIAN ke. Mnitonnwit, and several other kletnbers, brought up from the Commons the .litstrian Isom Bill and the Revenue Inquiry Bill, which were each read a first time, on the ruction of the Earl of Shaftetbury. Lord II 01. L N remarked, that in glancing his eye over the Austrian Lean fill, it did not appear that h related tonne transac tion ;it appeared by the thr, dun. a loans had been granted by this mammy to Ansiria, to the stranesit ef 41,250,0001. ; and In an. other part it stated that these loans were repaid in consequence of a convention entered into between the two Govenunents. by the sum of 2,500,0001. In noticing this discrepancy, he merely wished to put their Lordships on their guard against passing a won srpitar for by the Bill it did nut appear that the two loans had reference to the sum of 2,L00,0001. SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. The Marquis of LA NoiDOWN informed their Lordships that on Monday se'nnight he should move an address to his NlstiLlsty, pnating :bat be would be graciously pleased to recognise the inde pendence of South America. lie could not *roil remarking. that if any grottoes were Leine wanting to induce bias to proceed with his motion, the nuvitvomplete and solid ones were now laid, to satisfy his nsind on the stsbject, in consequence of the perusal of the papers Lid on the table yesterday by the Noble Lewd, cot then tho Noble Lord at the head of his 31ajeaty's Government been in his place, he had come down for the purpose of asking some questions of hint relative to this intertsting sub ject. Ile would take that opportunity of moving for some further papers, that must be in existence. One of thane papers was the copy of an answer to 31r. Secretary Canning's last despatcls: and the other papers he wished to ace were copses of any communica lions made by other Powers. in answer to those made by this country relative to South America. As the Noble Earl wits rot then in kis place, it would be unnecessary for hint to way more at present. The Noble Marquis concluded by moving that the Lords be summoned for Monday sennight.—Otdered. AP:pawned to Monday. IYUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY, 31Aicti 5. The SPE.iKER took the Chair at four o'clock, and informed the liotbe that the Royal assent had been given by Commission to several roWic and private Bills; for an account of which, see Lords. SOrTIIWARK 13/18 Mr. HOLME SUMMER brought up the Report of the COM. mittee on the Southwark flas Bill. The lionouratile Mernber moved, that as the period had elapsed for introducing private Bills the House woold, (aerioeding to the recommendatson of the stills, suspend the standing orders, in order that an oppor tunity might he 2111i:slid of introducing a Bid of such public utility. Mr. P. - 310011 E opposed the motion, on the ground that, as such extensive interests acre concerned, a full and regular ma. tion should hive been given of the intention of bringing in Its Bill. It was highly inexpedient. that upen all omisions of this sort, the s:anding order shoula be suspended. He should there fwc move, as an amendment, that the report be received this day six months. After a few remark. from Mr. Alderman It - con, Mr. Alderman Timm P 907.1... Mr. C.

ROBARTS presented a similar pet , :tion from the innkeepers of Maidstone. Mr. %VERB presented • prtition of the same description from the licsnsed victuallers of the city of filouerrecr. The petitions were ordered to be printed. NORTH-WEST SOCIETY Is IIIEL.1N1). Mr. DAWSON said be had to present from the meniners of the North-west Society of Ireland, praying for a Parliamentary grant of 'money, to early into nines extensive execution the very 'mewl pur poses for which the society yea originally founded. The petitioners stated, that the annual reports of the association fer diffusing in struction in Ireland, showed most clearly the avidity with which the inhabitants of that district avail thrineolves of the assistance which circumstances afilarded; that there is among them a thirst for information which the sources, heretofore within their reach, could not allay; that the agriculturist, the manufacturer, and the mechanic, are unable to acquire the rudiments of the arts and sciences requisite for their respective occupations ; and they humbly expressed their hope. that justice not less than policy would incline the House to bestow on them a grant from the public funds, in order to establish a seminary, where proper opportuni ties would be afforded to acquire useful information. lie could as sure the House that this society had already attracted considerable attention, and that very beneficial results were anticipated, if they i were enabled to forward their designs. Hut although the contribu- tions were very numerous, still the amount subscribed was very small, because many of the farmers in the nei4hhourixwal could not afford to subscribe more than live shillings or ten shillings a year, anti from that part of Ireland there were a great number of abs2n tees. Last year a similar society was founded in 14"exfonl, which had met with considerable support; and, as the North Weat So ciety was founded on a more extensive plan, and consequently mere general benefit was anticipated, he trusted the House would nut corsider them unworthy its attention. The SPEAKER—WiII the Honourable Member have the kindness to state what it is the petitioners pray ? Mr. DAIVSON—They pray, Sir. for a Parliamentary grant of money, to enable them to carry on their operations. The SPEAKER—The Honourable Member must be aware that the petition cannot be receir-d. Mr. D.IWSON said he was aware it was ir:egular, but he felt it his duty to present it. The SPEAKER—T4en it is my business to state that I cannot receive a petition, praying for a P;xlianientary rant of money, without the consent of the Crown. • The -- potition was accordingly withdrawn. 1101'S. Mr. CUITTEIS moved, that there be laul before the House an account of the total number of acres in England, occupiod in the cultivation of Hops, in the years 1822 and 1923; specift . ing the number in each parish : together with an account of the Duties re. ceived during the same period ; distinguishing the old from the new duties. h 6. Alderman WOOD seconded the motion.--Ageeed to. TONAGE DCIIES. Mr. CURTEIS morel, that it be an instruction to the Commit. tee on Furei•'n Trade, to consider the state and amount of Tonnage Duties, with a vice to ascertain the difference between the French and English ports respectively. Sir 0. CLERK expressed his opposition to the motion. The Tistinage Duties were at present under consideration, and he there. fore hoped the lion. Gentleman would withdraw his motion. Mr. BA RI NO objected to ;tiring such an instruction to the Com mittee. It was very . inexpediest to give imperative instructions to a Committee to inquire into any rartzzular sub)cct. Sir Al. W. RI lILET obserml, that as the lonnage Ditivs were under consideration, be hoped his lion. Friend, in courtesy, would win draw his motion. Alter a few remarks (which were not heard in the gallery) from Mr. ROBERTSON. the motion was withdrawn. WI k; DS' INN:S.
