PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY, MAtacu 2. Interesting subject. It was a question of too west interest te be disposed of in interlocutory conversations. (Hear.) !mot the system which prevailed throughout the country, he did net hesitate to say that there was not in the world snore generous landlords than the landlords of Great Britain. the Ind M ei he wile very mach Atilt it which might be brought forward upon th, ing supported by evidence. He merely s with the hope that the Noble Lord would rioting them. Lord J. RUSSELL :rriefly replied. that the expenses should be paid by the any other public provision. The Rouse having tiding that the petition was worth investigating, security that the public should not be idl, • He hsid omitted to nodes that it was his Their Lordships having assembled and disposed of some private business of no public interest, adjourned at Five o'Clock. ..... M r. J. 11.1..NE'FT (Wiltshire) thought the agricultural labourer claimed some consideration from Parliament •, they ...ere at least as worthy of consideration as any other class of labourers, and their interest was deeply involved in the present lueetion. Mr. PHILLIPS believed that nothing obstructed the commerce of the country so much as the Corn Laws. Upon the increase of commerce depended the wealth of t h e, country ; and if the landed proprietors justly appreciate their own interest, they woylil ultimate ly find that the general wealth which would accrue to the country from a beneficial alteration of the Corn Laws, would more than compensate for any injury which might fall upon them ik the att. set. He wan surprised at his lion. Friend (Mr. Caleraft), whom be understood to advocate dear corn. Mr. CA LCItA FT explained. He had not advocated dear corn ; on the contrary. he advocated cheap corn; but he said it was NMI I to expect anything whilst the country was burdened with taxes to the amount of sixty millions. Sir T. LETHBRIDGE supposed that some HMI. Gentlemen would consider four or five shillings a bushel a very good price , for corn; and, if four or live shillings a bushel would pay the taxes, he (and he was sure every landlord in the country) would be nriott happy. This no doubt was the feeling of the landed interest; but he thought it would be difficult for any Ministers who should be at the head of the Government of this country to persevere in the reduction of corn to that level. When he heard from one Hon. Gentleman that commerce was all and agriculture nothing, he was at a loss to understand the nature and truth of such a proposition. Corn was paid for by coin, and if that coin was not applied to the purchase of corn in this country, it would probably be applied to the cultivation of lands in other countries, it more fisllweious tie of _removing, he was are, be had never heard, tisan't4af the retiden.now pferented to the House. .Lord MILTON would take leave to remind the Hon: Baronet SSir T. Lethbridge) of what he seemed to have forgotten. The ion. Bart. objected that an lion. Member :aid commerce was every thing, and agriculture nothing; but did the Hon. Bart. re collect that agriculture was really nothing WILIMIU commerce; for what was the sale of corn by the farmer to thskorn.rnerchant but commerce? The Hon. Bart. talked of colfi, but he (Lord Milton) wns not before aware that coin was the pioduce of this country. Ile knew some small mines were discovered in Ireland, but he did not know that there were any in England. What. ever coin, therefore, was paid for, corn must have been brought into the country by industry and commerce. It was said that the agricultural labourers were interested in the high prices of corn, but it was not plain to him that any class benefited by the high prices of corn but the aetital owners of the land. The farmer must have his average rate of profit. whatever the price of corn was ; and the excess over the price of importation went into the pocke. of the landlord. That any ono. should maintain that the high price of corn was beneficial to the landlord was to him matter of r -WI HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUURSDAY, MAncit 2. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Mr. W.

Lord STANLEY presented a petition from William Earl, Esq. and --.., his wife, praying to be heard by Counsel or agents against the preamble of the Bill. On the presentation of this petition, The SPEAKER said that it had been the practice of the last and preceding Session for the Committee up stairs to hear only such matters as referred to the detail of the Bill, and in which the liernent opt' any subjects but those connected with the awful. petitioners were interested, the House reserving to itself the right of deciding on the principle of such Bill, which was contained in the preamble. The practice uniformly had been, to present a peti tion for leave to bring lin a Bill, which was laid on the table, and afterwards referred to a Committee, to see that the standing orders were complied with. On the Report upon the Bill being brought up, it was still compete - t for the House to decide upon the prin ciple of' the Bill.

Mr. BROUGHAM also presented a petition to the same effect' from the city of Edinburgh, signed by 7.000 persons, which bore the same compaiision with the population of Edinburgh as a petition signed by 200,001) persons would do to that of London. The Hon. Gentleman said that, upon due reflection of the state ment made last night by the Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr Can ning), he most say that nothing could be less satisfactory than the measures pursued by his Majesty's Government. He would wish to ask the Right lion. Gentleman one question, which was, whether the Bills to be submitted to the colonial assemblies were Ito wait until the t.sual time of sending out communications to those bodies, or whether they were to be sent out at once? It was known that the legislative assemblies usually met in the winter, and therefore if no measures were taken, much time would elapse before those Bills would be brought under the consideration of those bodies ; and though he had little hope of the attainment of the object, still it was highly necessary that the at tempt should be made as early as possible. There could be no doubt that Government had the power of calling those legislative assemblies together at any time it pleased ; what he wished to know therefore was, whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Go vernment to call them together for the special purpose of laying before them the bills which were to be pr. tented for their adoption. After a few words from Mr. A BERCROMBY the petition was brought up and ordered to be printed. Mr. BROUGHAM said, before he presented the petition he held in his hand he begged to repeat the question he had just put, and to which the Right Honourable Gentleman had not given an answer. ehould confine him+elf w the pnxeetlinga that took place. on tho.e four occasions, an they appeared in the papers on the table 9f bliss (loose ; not hi.t he had reason to believe in the perfect accuracy of them, or that he wished to be bound in future by their contest:, or that it should be inferred that he had adopted them, but because INITPri/C. Mr. GOOCH thought that no one would contradict the propo sition that the landlords benefited lel the high price of corn, but it was evident that very gnats assertioni were made on this, condemn natory of the landlords. He thought Os. a quarter a lair reale. nerattng price for corn ; if it was lowered we should have to de. peed upon other countries for our food. The landlords of England did not want to have high prices to starve the people; but it was clear that if we depended upon other countries for a supply of corn, live or six millions now spent in the purchase of corn at home would be sent abroad. This could not be desirable when it was ascertained that this country could be rendered independent of all others, as regarded the necessary s❑pply of corn. The discussion here dropped, and the petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. MARINE OFFICERS IN HOLY ORDERS.

The petitioners stated that so far from the statement of the petitioner being true as to the Di. rectors having parted with their shares, that they had increased their numbers. The fact was, that the Directors bad appropriated to themselves 2.600 shares out of 10,000. Some of the Directors had parted with 600 of those shares, but had bought 1100 others, so that in fact they had increased' their number of shares by 200 more than the original allotment. The Honourable Gentleman said that while toe House was unfortunately open to the reception of petitions from persons making charges so serious as those in the petition of Bernard Ross, it was also open to the acute d to pray for an inquiry into their conduct. The Honourable Gentleman said that letters had appeared in The Timer news. paper, highly derogatory to the character of the individual.; who signed the petition which he had the honour to present, in cruise. quence of the petition of which they complained, and the allega. urns& of which were untrue. He therefore hoped the House would comply with, the prayer of the petitioners, and order an inquiry into their conduct. On the motion that the petition should be brought up, Mr. T. WILSON said that the petitioners were persons of the highest character and respectability, and he regretted very much that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hohhoure) had not inquired into the character of the individual who had brought forward such charges; against them, before he had thought it advisable to present his petition.

Gentleman, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affair:, last night.' The detertnina tkin expressed of forwarding the proposed measures regarding the Colonies was of a most cheering nature. Whether or not those treasures would be carried into effect the House would soon have an opportunity of judging. Those measures, he understood, took the Orders in Council for their trains ; and the reason of his rising was, to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman whether any alteration in the Courts of Justice in the Colonies was contemplated by his Ma , jesty's Government. Mr. CANNING said that he bad stated last night that the Bills were confined to the Orders in Council. A Commission had been sent out to the Colonies, for the purpose of inquiring into the sub ject mentioned by the Noble Lord, and therefore nothing would be done in reference to it until their Report was received. The Order in Council would be embodied in the Act. BANKING SYSTEM. Mr. HUME preseritea - petition from Montrose against any alteration in the Banking System in Scotland ; also a petition from Arbroath to the same effect.—Ordered to be printed. CORN LAWS. • Mr. GOOCII presented • petition from certain owners and oc cupiers of land in the county of Suffolk, against any alteration in the Corn Laws.--Ordered to be printed. Mr. R. GURNEY presented a petition from the manufacturers and operatives of the city of Norwich, praying fur a revision of the Corn 1.11,11. .Mr. BROUGHAM also presented a petition to the same effect from the operatives and the householders of the Staffordshire Pot teries, which was read. Upon the motion that the Petition be laid upon the table. Mr. ROBERTSON rose. He could not allow the facts stated in that petition to pass without an observation. Ma opinion was in direct opposition to the theory that was abroad in regard to cheap corn. Ile thought that high profits, good well paid rents, and a fair remuneration for labour, was what IMO really desirable. Mr. HUME contended that the facts of the petition were true. lie believed that profits were low, and that the people were in dis tress. Whilst the country continued to be burdened with such a weight of taxes, profits must be low ; and the deficiency of profits niu.t necessarily produce distress. Mr. CA LCRAFT could not suppose that the Hon. Member for Aberdten intended to state that all the sllegations of the petition ter re true. One of those allegations was that sixpence nut of every shilling was paid for rent. When the Corn Laws were under con. %locution in 1315, he (Mr. Calera') uniformly endeavoured to get the lowest import price put upon corn. He persevered in the opi. Mons he [hen entertained, anti when the subject was again brought forward, he should be as &Dahlias as any gentleman In that House to consider the interests el the people. But he conceived that those who targeted prejudices only. ca lculated to mislead did n o t take • the best means of advocating th e interest of the peo p le. Ile thou g ht, it was quite impossible to have low prices and yet pay sixty mil. limos of taxes. Let it not be said then that the landlords of Eng. gland stood in the way of cheap bread ; fax from it • give the land ' lords Emir play, and they could afford to sell the protium of the earth as cheap as a manufacture sold the produce of his laboun and I skill. The landlords should not be held up to obloquy, but Hon. Members should wait for a lull and fair discussion apon this moat PRO3IISSORY NOTE BILL. Mr. CALCRA VT, seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his place, begged to inquire what were the vi e ws of his Majesty's Ministers as regarded the application of the Promissory Note Bill to Scotland. The third reading of that Bill stood for this evening, and he therefore did not conceive the question inappropriate. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had already stated that in the course of the Session he would submit to the House the views entertained by his Majesty's Government on the subject of the lion. Gent.'e inquiries. At present he really could not give any more precise reply. BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION AT ELECTIONS. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose to submit his Bill for the pre vention of bribery and corruption at elections. He said every one was aware that in former days the decisions of the House upon elections was saipaided ley patty pelitise.sinst, Mete to the credit of the House, it was found necessary to impose an oath upon the members of &committee selected from the House. to do justice well and truly between the parties. It was admitted that thin remedy was generally successful, as between party and party, but it was not successful as regarded the public. There may be corruptions in particular places to which it would not apply. It may be that the expenses should be found too great. It may be that the petitioner was himself engaged in car. opt practices, and therefore afraid to stand the test; or that he wished upon another occasion to take ad vantage of the same COOTSe which a rival had then found success ful. siit , C sere instances in which the public were leftwitbout any protection. The public lost security from the uncertainty of t-e former .ribunal, and at present from the want of an adequate remedy. What he now proposed as a remedy was, that when any party complained of corruption occurring within six years before the preset.tation of a petition. a petition should be presented ; and it the House thought the contents of that petition necessary to be inquired into, a committee should be appointed, as under the Oren. elite Act, only that lie proposed the committee should consist of fourteen persons and the Member who presented the petition. He proposed that this committee should investigate - the charge, and report their opinions thereupon to the House. The House would see that he proposed this to he done on petition It might be done on a resolution of the House, but he thought a petition more convenient for the attainment of the object. The House, it would be perceived, was to inquire into the contents of the petition, and to ascertain whether it con tained matter to justify an investigation. This was nothing new; it was always the practice to inquire whether what the petition con tained was sufficient to induce the House to enter upon an invea. ligation. It could not be alleged that the practices at elections were of a character which did not call for a remedy. Probably during the present year practices would prevail in boroughs, dis graceful to those boroughs, and highly detrimental to the purity of dis graceful In support of this observation he might quote the autho rity of an Hon. Fri•nd whom he could never induce to vote with him upon the question of Reform. Ile alluded to the Honourable Member for Penryn (Mr. Orenfell); that Hon. Gentlemen found it necessary to address a letter to his constituents a short time since, which he (Lord J. Russell) would take leave to read to the House. The lion. Member -was a distinguished benefactor to Penryn; a distinguished Member of the Howie, and would do honour to any place for which he was returned. (Hear, hear.) In his letter that Hon. Gentleman suited that he meant to withdraw from the repre sentetion of that borough in, consequence of very specific informa tion which lie had received that lie could not expect to be re turned at the next general election unless he had recourse to that to which lie had never submitted, nor never would submit, which two years ago had endangered the existence of the franchise of that borough, and six years ago had subjected the then Member to the infliction of heavy penalties. If the voters of Penryn thought pro per to convey such an intimation to his Honourable Friend, it was high time to put down those disgraceful practices. lie applied now not to the minority who had before gone with him on the ques tions of reform, but to the majority, whose answer to his former propositions was--we acknowledge the abuses, but we will not pull the house about our ears. The answer of the majority on former occasions was—show us a specific grievance, and we will support you in the best remedy you can suggest. What he now meant to propose was, that when a committee should bring up a report, giv ing it aetheir opinion that general corruption prevailed in a borough, ' the House should proceed, as in the cases es' Shoreham anti Gram pound. to transfer the right of elation from die borough to a richer place in another part of the county. In the case of Grampound he thought the right ought to have been transferred to Leeds or some other populous town ; this lie believed was the opinion of the 11-louse, but it had been transferred to Yorkshire, in consequence of a suggestion elsewhere, and lie thought this arrangement was not the best. He had now concluded what lie had to say on this parties , lap subject. He meant to bring forward the general question are ' form after Easter, and as he had now quoted his Hon. Friend (Mr. Grenfell) as an authority upon the existence of corrupt practices in boroughs, he should then have the pleasure of quoting a new autho rity upon thequestiou of reform, that of the Right Hon. Gent. (Mr. Canning), who said, •• If we shrink back front iinprovement because it is ientovation, we may live to rue it: and a time may come when we may have resisted it a little too long, and may be obliged to submit to innovation although it may not be improvement.' The Noble Lord concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the further prevention of bribery and corruption in the election of Members to serve in Parliament. Mr. GRENFELL thought himself called upon, in consequence of what had fallen from die Noble Lord, to say a few words. He felt there was nothing ineetsietent in the centime its be addressed to the electors of Penryn, and the opposition he had given to the Noble Lord's ;notion on reform. He had always said that he could never support reform in the undefined sense in which it was brought for ward by the Noble Lord. Mr. W. IP YiNN felt that the proposition of the Noble Lord was , entitled to %MOOS attention, ,nos to say to thvourable consideration. Tne Noble Lord had 'beetled so slightly upon the details of his plan. that it mess scarcely proper for him tale. Wynn) to enter on it. If he understood tile Noble Lord, he proposed that the Mem bers of lie Committee should he all chosen ,ny lot. with the excep tion of the Individual a tau presented the petition. In his (Mr. Wynn's) opinion, this wan not the heat moue of forming a cored named Committee. lie thought, too, that the Noble Lard would find great difficulties as to the neteasary expenses. lie did not say this with a hostile view, but rather to point out to the Noble Lord the difficulties which lay in the way of the measure. If the ex penses fell upon the presenters of the petition, the Act would be seldom brought into effect; and if the expenses were to fall upon he had no other means at present by which to come at any poet on the subject, and because he thought the facts contained in thole papers furnished ground amply sufficient to call for censure, rot rely on the Courts of Justice, but on the Government itself of ti :' Island of Jamaica. With regard to the fires transaction stated to the papers, it regarded the alleged insurrection in the parish of St. Mary, in the Island of Jamaica, and commenced on the 16th re December tan in this way. On the 16th of that month of De cember it appeared that a person of the name of Roberts resithe in Kingston, who carried on the business, he believed (for he had ins precise infomiation on the subject), of a butcher. It appeared the. this man had occasion to find Wine fault with a negro bey of his. about 14 years old, about some frocks that he had not got mender, and asked him how he thought he would appear to follow hint az Christmas. This man was called on on the trials. and stated what passed in the course of the cooversation between him and the bey, and which was, in fact, the substance of the whsle evidence upon which eight individuate were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, which sentence win; carried into execution within eight days of tee alleged conspiracy, and within four days after the trial. Every one of the slaves died, solemnly denying the fact of which they wc.e charge I. and they relused to purchase their own safety by charging others with the crime. In page 42 of the report, Roberts was made to say, that on Monday night last (his examination took place on the Friday), about eight o'clock, he scolded hi% negro boy Wilearu for not getting his limts, and asked him •' How he would appose to fellow hint about at Christmas ?" William said, "Mavis. you will have bad Christman.." Without waiting for any ix ' 31r. Roberts proceeded to put this question to t • boy— " For what, rare the negroes going to rise ?" The boy, glad of an oppotunity to evade a scolding, immediately en. awered " Yes," and inasmuch as his father was the only person of whom he could think of, he added, " his father had told bun so." The witness then proceeded to ask him if he had seen the negroes meeting, and the boy said, " Yee, two times, but that 11 , 3 father had told him more than he knew at the meeting." Wltnees asked if any of his negroes were among them ? The boy said, " George was." W tines% asked if any more boy negroes e He toed, " Yes, 3lr. Walker's Ned and Douglas." Witness asked if he thought they were going to kill all the beams (white meet; the boy said his father told him so. Witness then asked hint what he must do ' • should he go to Kingston or Spanish Town; the boy answered, "No, negroes would walk all about the country." Wit. ness asked if he should pack up his books and go to the fort, or to Mr. Beard's, would he be safe ? " No, negroes would walk all about, and Wentworth negroes would rise same as Frontier." Wit ness asked if they would kill everybody? He answered, " Yes, every body • you and Captain Barton go on board of ship and take hen whit ;hem, nod would not be safe anywhere else." These were the answers given, touched in the moat ambiguous terms, aed bearing nothing at all on the subject. This was the nuclees of every part of the evidence, -and there was notbiog cited from any other persons who were afterwards !Kann :led which did not relate and refer to the evidence given by des boy ; the whole of which was in the first place euggested by the interrogations of the master. It appeared that the buy was Mime dintely taken before a magistrate and made to depose to this store. Certainly the measures of precaution which were thereupon taken by the Magistrates were wise, prudent, and judicious ; for if :my rising had been intended on the part of the negroes, the display i.: military force would be the beet way to prevent anything of tt.e kind taking place; it would indeed have been a neglect tilde v not to have had a sufficient power collected where it was requirea. It was also proper to send, as was done, for the six pereous otiose names the boy mentioned as having seen at some of the meetings. The boy, after stating this fact, added what seemed to be a very trio. probable story, and like a tale made up by a person who had in. volved himself by telling a falsehood in the first instance : he siva that lie had seen persons twice assembled in large bodies near bridge, between Frontier estate and Port .Maria, where he heard them speak of an intended rising, and at the same time they were flourishing their cutleries, declariog they would destroy all the white people. This was a very improbable atm)+, and one that could not gain any degree of credit, Of the six persons *hose names he mentioned, the first was the boy's own father. The ap prehension of these individuals was a measure as wise anti judicious as the preparation of the military force. But he could not conceibe the: it was proper to arrest them for the purpose of putting theta immediately on their trial. Ile thought it would have been the pro per course to have taken them before a magistrate, and to base confronted them with their accuser, and see whether their accuse of themselves would have faltered or been inconsistent in 'tiro, or have been contradictory to the accounts given by other pereoes. This was a mode of proceeding which was inevitable in the dile°. very of the truth or falsehood of a statement ; and if so, it was pre. bable that had it been pursued in this case the falsehood of the the charge would have been at one detected, and Jamaica would have been saved the disgrace of these promedinge. (Hear, hear) But this was not the course taken by the magistrates with there men ; on the contrary, they were no sooner apprehended than they were put upon their trial (only four days being suffired to elapse between the cbarge and the conviction). One person of the name of Whittles, said to be in the employ of this party, was stated to Nee overheard the conversation of these men, but not to have seen the persons. Then a slave named Ned, belonging to Mr. Janet Walker, was called, and deposed that he was present at a meetitee about ten days prevoius, held at the bridge near Frontier estate, a . .1 heard a consultation respecting which way they were to set. nee that they intended to hove it at Christmas fall ; but in consequee,:e of the appointment of the guard they changed the day for the ti ./ after the full of the moon—Thursday nignt, the 18th Decennhee when they thought it would be full. That their intention was to burn the trash-house and works at Frontier estate, and whore tee white people came to quench it, they would then destroy thee. ; after which they were to begin at the top of the Bay anti e.: fire to the buildings, when a general massacre was iant:,- diately to take place ; that it was to be g' Eeral throughout vie whole of the parish at the same time ; and that the negme, before mentioned, belonging to the Frontier estate, were the kids: prominent persons that he knew of at the meetings. Beth these witnesses stated all this to have taken place in the open road, in a public highway near a bridge, where they represented a great co::. course of persons assembled to consult upon the most humble crimes, and to determine upon accomplishing the most hightail mischief ! He conceived thew tales to be of the most improbutee description ; and yet it was through this story, told by these two boys, that no less than six individuals had lost their lire& 'these two perannii, Ned and Doughui, were disposed of in a Ali relive St able manner, for in the letter addressed by the Magietretes to W. Bullock, Eerie secretary to the Duke of Manchester, trerismotteig the depositions: they stated that, fur the purpose of disposing cif Ned and Douglas they had sent them on board ship, and at day. light in the morning they hoped to secure the principal actors, whe were slaves belonging to Frontier. So that instead of taking this boy Douglas before the men that were apprehended, to ascertain whether he knew any thing on the subject, the Magistrate* thoer proper to dispose of him In this very siegular manner. Ileviny interrogated him, and hurting that he poesemed ne terhee knowledge on the subject than was deposed to by Ned And W it they, instead of confronting bins with the accused, which was till proper and only means of :radint; to a detection of •he truth, tie., and which he (AD.
