Lord KENYON presenred a petition from the inhabitants of Falmouth, praying the abolition of slavery. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from Maidenhead to the same effect. CORN LAWS. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from a respect able body of the Inhabitants of Statism consisting of one hundred and ninety.seven persona, occupying 81,000 acres of land, and own ing 22,000 acres, praying their Lordships not to admit the impor tation of foreign corn. His Grace observed that the petitioners possessed great capital, which they had embarked in agricultural pursuits. and that they conceived the admission st foreign corn "scald be highly prejudielial to their intarstde ; bee lb* taltlar 2te their petition deserved their Lordships' connideretion. The Earl of LAUDERDALE regretted that, the intention of his Majesty's Minirters being well known on that subject, the peti tioners did not refrain from provoking any diseession upon this most important subject. The agitation of it at this period could answer no useful purpose, and there was little fear of any interfer ence with the agricultural interest in the present Session. The Duke of RICHMOND could not avoid remarking that the i petitioners had ground for entertaining an apprehension that some alteration in the Corn Laws might be attempted in the present Session. It was well known that some intimation of the kind had been thrown out in another House of Parliament. That alone, would, in his Grace's opinion, be sufficient excuse for the petition ers' expressing this opinion to their Lordships. Ile could see no impropriety in their proceeding, as he conceived that any portion of his Majesty's subjects whose interests were likely to be interfered with. had an undoubted right respectfully to lay their opinions be fore Parliament.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE assured the Noble Duke that he had entirely misunderstood him. It was not his Lordship's in. tention to question the right o.'any of his Majesty's subject to pe tition or express their opinions upon any subjects touchi their interests. But his Lordship had such coiditlence in his sty's Ministers, and so great a reliance upon their influence isrboth Houses of Parliament, that he thought the interests of the peti. tioners perfectly secure from encroachment this Scssion. His Lord ship was quite sure that the country gentlemen would be unanimous in their support of Ministers upon this subject; but his Lordship was also quite certain that there was another respectable class of persons, who, when the question should be introduced into Parlia mem; would be equally unanimous in supporting the repeal of the Corn Laws.

BANK CHARTER. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to allude to a measure which was to occupy their Lordships' attention .so-morrow. He had 'question to ask upon this moat important subject. It was a general complaint that sufficient information was not before their Lordships, although they were on the eve of getting through the second reacking of the Rill. It would afford great satisfaction to the House and the country, if every information was before their Lordships. Rut how did the House stand ? They were called upon to legislate in the dark. It was impossible their Lordships could proceed without at least having before them the returns which were ordered. With regard to himself, his Lordship always de. matted too early a discussion, but had taken every opportunity of calling for information. The papers ordered could not now be in sufficient- time to give their Lordships an opportunity to consider and digest them. The House had certainly called for information, and lic requested the Noble Earl opposite ( Lord Liverpool) not to push on this measure to a premature decision. There was unea. siness enough nut of doors, and his Lordship telt assured that any hasty proceedings would tend very much to create dissatisfaction and disturbance. JOSEPH DART Sec. The particulars of the terms, and conditions upon which the Milos ell be respectively employed, may be had upon application et the Office of the Clerk to the Committee of Shipping, at this Honor, on or after Wednesday next, the nth instant. rrillE MEMBERS of CONVOCATION of the UNI VERSITY of OXFORD are respectfully informed, that the SOLICITOR.OENERAL will NOT be PROPOSED as CANDIDATE at the eippeesebing ELECTION. Committee-roots, 211, Pall-mall. The Earl of LIVERPOOL could not avoid saying that he en. tirely differed with the Noble Earl. It was true that some of the returns ordered were only laid on the table this day, and that a part could net be had before to-winnow ; and be assured the Noble Earl that the delay which took place in making out those returns was unavoidable. All possible despatch had been used. As far as his Lordship was concerned, every facility was given to expedite the returns to the House; but, independently of those documents, there was abundant information before the public, and of course accessible to their Lordships. The statements contained in those papers were already a matter of notoriety there were many publi cations, particularly upon exchanges. which left little to he sup. plied by official returns. When the subject was so frequently discussed and so generally understood, his Lordship saw no sufli. cient ground for deferring the discussion longer than the time fixed upon. and therefore he could not consent to any postponement of the debate. If there were any objections to be made, they might be brought forward at subsequent stages of the Bill, when there would be abundant oppertunmes. It was not his Lordship's wish to throw any impediment in the way of a free and perfect discussion of the proposed measures, but lie would again remind the Noble Earl of the opportunities which he would have at the future stages of the Bill of making his objections, or proposing any amendment. It was not his Lordship's wish to press the measure with peculiar rapidity. but to afford as much time for consideration as the inte rest of the country would allow. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was surprised at what had fallen from the Noble Lori at the head of the Treasury. During forty years' attendance upon Parliament, he had always understood that the second reading of a Bill vim the *stage at which all discussion upon the principle of it woe to take place; and he was confirmed in this opinion by frequently hearing that doctrine laid down by the Noble Earl opposite, from whom he hail just heard so contrary a statement ; but the Noble Earl had changed his opinions, and the last stages of a Bill were to be the proper occasions for discussion, and the pe.ond reading was not to be postponed beyond tomorrow. But he would ask what bad consequences acre to result from allow. ing a little more time to inquire into the subject? The difference between to.morrow and Slonday would be hut little inconvenience, compared to the benefit which would be derived from public infor mation. There would he no time to digest whatever information might be placed upon their Lordships' table to-morrow. The Noble Lord said it was not his fault if this information had not been pro. cured, as he had moved for almost all the papers which had been produced; nor could he believe that a short postponement of the Ms eussion could lead to any agitation or uneasiness out of doors. For these remits he would again press upon the Noble Earl the neces sity of allowing more time for the mature consideration of this im. portant subject. The Marquis of LANSDOWN did not feel a desire to see any further postponement of the subject. The public mind was i n a state of considerable anxiety, and the sooner all uncertainty was put an end to the better. The Noble Marquis hoped the time al. lowed "multi be sufficient for discussion, but at all events it was betterto decide than leave the public in suspense. The Noble Mar quis was anxious to ascertain from the Noble Earl at the head of the Treasury, whether any arrangement had been entered upon be. t nein the Government and the Bank of England for the purpose of restoring public credit. A report was abroad that the Bank had been prevailed upon by the Government to increase their issues by buying up Exchesuer bills, and if there Mil any such understand ing, the Noble Marquis wished to know the nature and extent of that engagement. The Noble Marquis would leave it to the dia. discretion of the Noble Earl a bother he would supply the informs.' lion then or to-morrow, when the discussion of the Bank charter' would be before their Lordships. lie wished to know what secu rities the Government offered the Bank, and in what way it was proposed the Bank should proceed towards the restoration of pub. lic credit. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had no objection to state generally what had been thought or as advisable by his Majesty's Minietera to restore confidence in the commercial community. Various pro. jects of relief had been submitted to them, but many of those had been considered as ill suited to the purpose. It was deemed advisa ble to state to the Directors of the Bank of England, that if they went into the market and purchased a quantity of Exchequer bills, his Majesty's Ministers would recommend to Parliament to make •an early arrangement for the purpose of relieving the Bank from any pressure which such purchases might bring upon it. The Marquis of I.ANSDOWN wished to know whether the Bark was to be limitted to any particular amount in their pur4taaes of Exchequer bills. The Earl of LIVERPOOL paid that in the communications 'with the Bank of England 2,000,0001. 'was the amount spoken IC but if the Bank thought it prudent to make any father purchases, it would he entirely at their own risk. Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. R. Martin, and other Members from the House of Commons appeared at the bar, to rewire a airy of the report of the Committee of their Lordships upon the state of Ire land, particularly that part which referred to the late disturbances. The LORD CH ANCEI.I.OR put the question to their Lord ships, whether their Lordships would grant the venom applied for, which was decided in the affirmative. and his Lordship then handed the report to Mr. Spring Rice.

CHURCH RATES IN IRELANI). Sir J. NEWPORT assured the House that he would he very brief in the observations he had to offer. He, last year, called the attention of the, House to the abuses which existed in the collection of rates in Ireland. On that occasion he detailed to tilt House some of the numerous abuses which then prevailed. lie suc ceeded in getting a Bill through the House to remedy those abuses. He hoped to leave seen that Bill come into operation ; hut after it had passed that House, and when it was about to pass into a lew, it met with opposition in another and a higher quarter. In the House of Lords clauses were thrown out of the Bill which were of the utmost importance, and most calculated to remedy the ev - .la which grew out of the system of those rates. The rejection of those clauses was injurious to that country. By the present system a great portion of the people were excluded from any interference in the imposition of those rates. Roman Catholics were obliged to contribute to them though they were excluded from all per. ticipation in deliberating or voting on the propriety or jostle* of imposing such rates upon the people. He weed whew that great abuses existed relative to rates, and that they were' levied tee properly, and contrary to law. By the clause which was throw out of the Bill, it was provided,that if any parishioner felt aggrieved by the inequality of church rates, or by their misapplication, I ecouii give notice to the churchwardens, that he would appeal against them, and seek redress. That was a very simple remedy for the abuses complained of, and one which he wcs astonished should hate been struck out of the Bill. It had been. however, excluded front the Bill, and that exclusion rendered it a complete nonentiet. The levying of church rates was oppressive, and diverted froitt their proper and leg itimate channels. By law a parish clerk was allowed a salary of only five pounds a year; whereas at present. under the system of abuse which prevailed In the management Of those rates, a salary of 201. a year was often given to a parish clerk, and there were instances where he received as much as XL In the re turns 3401. was allowed for building houses for parish and ve•tey clerks. I n this country,wher.- the populetion and contributors to th rates were Protestants, such ..lowsnces would not be tolerated. and certainly it was not less oppressive in Ireland, where the majority of those who paid church rates were Roman Catholics. (Hen, hen ) Salaries were allowed to organ-builders, and all such persons. At some parishes they thought fit to patronise Bible Societies. end made the Catholic peasantry subscribe to a fund. the objszt Of which was to proselytize from the religion of those persons. There was a charge made in the returns of lOU guineas for a piece of plate to the curate, and SOL to the pariah clerk, and the None 'turn to the vestry clerk. There was a sum of 8001. allowed to the cornets for the period which the return embraced. There were allowances for the Bishop's throne, who might be expected to defray str:h rot char,ec from the revenues of hie see. There were allowances ro bellows.blowere, to 'miter-maids, charges for clothes-horses. and various other things; but the most extraordinary part of the entire, and whit he would particularly call their attention. to was, the simple fact, that there was no approach to the church in question, except by clambering over ditches and walls. He asked the House whether it would allow such a power to pro. teed uncontrolled, when it was manifest that it was egregioushr I perverted and abused 7 Will the House continue or prevent suds a system of abuse? in another case there was an item fora lady's pen, of 14 guineas, and a second one, of the Name nature. for 't6 ' goineas. At this rate of proceeding, there was nothing which would be eventually exempted from the operation of this 'lrbil's:v . power. lie had already stated that in the Bill which he introduced on this subject in the last Session, there wee aprovision introduced, by which an appeal was left to the unfortunate peasant against sustt exactions to the Quarter Sessions.
