Theduty an tobacco being seven or eight times greater than the original value of the article, held out a sumac temptation to smugglers. He had ' already urged the false) , MI withdrawing the duty on wakes, and leaving so great a duty on tobacco and mull': he now, however, trusted that Burt exce.nree duties would be removed. OFFICE OF THE COUgRELANDT (yr COMMON PLEAS IN I. Mr. S3llTil, as well as we could collect, remitted it petition from a gentleman who had a situation in the office of the Court of Common Pleas, in Ireland, with a salary of MI. pet annum. The gentleman. we understood, had already presented a petition to the House; but no report had been made upon it. The Ilonottnhie Member represented the case of des gentleman to be one of writ hardship.—The petittoft was ordered to be laid on the table.. OFFICERS (1N HALF AND FULL. PAY. Sir. HUME moved fur a return of the number of officers no the half-pay lint of the United Kingdom of England and Ireland, from the 25th of March, 1822, to the year 1825 inclusive, gnashing the number of officers for each year, and meting the amount of the old and yew rate of half pay of each class, and'also an estimate of the whole amount for one year t also for a return of site number of officers on full pay, distinguishing the nom. her of each rank for each year, and the number of commis sions vacant in consequence of death, removal or rmignation, and what nuuiber had been tilled up from the half-pay lint ; also,, for a return ef die total number of gentlemen appointed to their first corn tnission, in the Cavalry, Foot Guards, and Infantry, regiments of the line, with the number of Comets promoted to the rank of Lieutenants, Lieutenants to Captains, Captain, to Majors, and Majors to Colonels, so as to exhibit the actual amount of promo tions that would imve been prevented had each vacancy been Med up from the half pay list. UNION OF CHURCHES IN IRELAND. Sir JOHN NEWPORT moved for certain tattoos relative to the union of churches in Ireland. SLAVE TRADE. Mr. EVANS moved for a return of all correspondence between the Government and Foreign Powers, during the year 1825, respect. ing traffic in slaves; also for a return of all communications front the Sberetary of Sierra Leone, for the same period: and all com munications from Officers in his Majesty's Naval Service at the Cape of Good Hope, relative to the Stave Trade ; also for a return of all communications made to Government from the Doetrnors of t the Cape of Good Hope, the Mauritius and &einem, relative to the same subject. I A M EMBER, whose name did not transpire, asked a question ofthe Chancellor of the Exchequer. but in so low a tone of voice that we could scarcely catch the tenor of it, but it appeared to apply to the duty on coals carried coastwise in the county of N. vfolk. F The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER acid that an Act had passed last Session, reducing the duty on small c oal r brought coastwise from Newcastle, since which same quantities had been so conveyed it a considerable reduction w the price of that article. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, Frs. 23. PISLAVERY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from the in habitaista or Knew. in Herefordshire, against slavery. The Earl ST. GERMAINS presented similar petitions from several places in Cornwall. . The Archbishop of YORK presented a petition from the Lord Mayor and principal inhabitants of the city of York, praying for the abolition of slavery. As the subject had been so often before their Lordship., his Grace would not at that time enter upon any discussion of it, nor make any further observations than merely to say, that if a practical measure for the extinction of slavery should be beought before Parliament, it would have his cordial ' sup L port. ord KING presented a similar petition from the inhabitants of the town end neighbourhood of Taunton, in Somersetshirc. His Lordship said that the petitioners were willing to take their part in remunerating the West India proprietors for any loss they might sustain by the abolition of slavery. They also considered slavery a national sin, and a disgrace to the country. His Lordship did not agree to the idea of giving any compensation to the proprietors of slaves, btu he would co.optrate in enforcing the laws which the colonists disobeyed, and it he could not put an end to slavery by fair means he would adopt coercive measures. Ills hardship also presented a petition from Perth, signed by 1200 persons, against I what his Lordship denominated .le Lanell,mls' Act: he meant 1 the Corn Laws. At that time it might not be ,prudent to enter upon any discussion ;. but when the subject came before their Loriabips, he hoped the jargon—the indescribable nonsense of superabundant produce—would bu abstained from. Such doctrine were a diqrnlce to the country. The. Earl of LIMERICK wished to know whether the weaves. of Perth had any intention of remunerating the Lodowners fee any loss they might sti ff er by the repeal of the Lora Lawv. • Lord KING hoped they were too sensible to think of any such thing. His Lordship then presented another petition from Kirkby Olinda!, in %Westmorland, to the same effect.—All laid on the table. The Marquis of LANSDOWN presented petitions against ala i very front- l'enlingtoo, in Huntingdonshire, from Cliff, near Lewes, and from Tavistock. in Devonshire. Mr. Brogden, and other Gentlemen of the House of Commons, brought up the following Bills :—The Transfer of Aids Bill. the ' West India Clergy Hill, and the Exchequer Bills (10,0000014 Diu. —Laid on the table.

Lord AIELVILLE presented a petition from the Provost and other officers of the Cite of Edinburgh, praying that no alteration should be made in the present system of banking in Scotland. His Lordship did not think the petitioner rightly understood the in. tentions of his Majesty's Ministers. it was nut intended to charge the system of banking there, but it was proposed to introduce a metallic currency in the place of small notes. His Lordship could' not agree with some of the opinions expressed by the petittnners; he thought they hall taken an' unnecessary alarm. That was not the time to enter upon the subject, as there vas no measure before Parliament connected with it. The Earl of LAUDERDALE agreed with the Noble Viscount, in thinking that was not a tit time to discuss the subject, but it was impossible to read that petition, and not he impressed with a conviction that all Scotland is opposed to any interfcteoce with the present banking system of that country, when one end two pound notes were found so earful as they had been in Scotland. The very idea of withdrawing them must cause great alarm. Laid on rite table. Lord 411.21,V1LLE had a petition to the same effect from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, but as the petitioners allude to an Act which they suppose to be before their Lordships, and no such Act being before either House of Parliament, he thought they could not receive the petition.—Withdrawn.

A COMMON COUNCIL, holden in the CHAMBER of the GUILDHALL of the CITY of LONDON, on FRIDAY, the 2tth LIT of Febtuary, 1821 i, REsni.vtD. THAT. cordially approving of lice principles of Free Trade, we are desirous of seeing them carried into effect, u far as is practicable under the circumstances in which this Country is placed. That this Court is deeply impressed with the present distress of the Country, which siriously affects almost every branch of Manu facturing and Commercial Interests. That, while this Court approves of the principles of Free Trad; and is desirous of seeing all unnecessary restrictions upon the Cont. merce of the country removed, as far as practicable, yet it. Is the most strongly impressed with the difficulty and danger of carrying such measures into effect, with the present high price of food, arti ficially kept up hy the Restrictions upon the Importation of Corn, Kid the Load of Debt and Taxes, which still press upon thc Ma nufacturers of this Country, and whi:h must disable them from competing with those countries where food is cheap, and the na tional burdens inconsiderable: That the Corn Laws in their operation counteract the natural tendency of industry, skill, and enterprize to improve our manufse tures, and thereby to render this Country the market fur supplying the demands of a great part of the habitable globe. That with a view to facilitate these objects, it is essential that raw materials of every description should be freely imported in ex change for the goods manufactured in this country. That the foreign demand for the manufactures of this country is hi a great degree by the means of payment possessed by foreign consumers • and, as Otos• countries winch are purely Agri slOtural can only barter with the produce of their soil, it follows that Sy prohibiting the importation of such produce they are de barred from purchasing British goods, and thus induced to become our competitors in many . branches of manufactures. That restricting the Importation of Foreign Corn, while Free Trade Is to he opened for Foreign 3lanufacturea, tends to de prive British Artisans of employliant, at the same time that it enormausly enhances the price of their food, and reduces them to a mate of pauperism. That this Court cannot consider the present system of the Corn Laws beneficial to the Agricultural Interests, seeing that under them the moo extreme fluctuations of price and distressing reverses have been experienced by the farmer, while the peasantry have been reduced to a condition of great misery and distress. That the present distress demands an immediate and effectual reduction of the Expenditure of Uovernment, in the Military and every other Department where it can be admitted, in order that the country may be relieved from the Assessed Taxes, and all those bulbuls which so greedy impede the restoration of national pro sperity.

Gentleman (the Chantellor of the Exchequer ) in his place, he was induced to put a question to him. which he considered of importance. Some years since a considerable amount of Exchervier bills was advanced to Commissioners, in order to be lent to the public for the carrying on of public works and the employment of the poor. He under anvil that a considerable number of them remained undisputed ot . , and as he (Mr. Ellice) had learned an application had been made to Government for an advance on account of the bills so undirposed 0 1 , the object of his present question was to know whether :hat appli cation had been considered. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had heard nothing . whatever from the Commissioners on the subject of the application alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman ; all let he rind heard on the subject a as. that a private letter had been sent t o him, not directly from the party claiming. but from another person to whom it was addressed. The individual certainly did ask if the Commissioners would grant him relief, and it was his (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's) opinion that from what appeared in .he statement the case submitted might come under the Act which regulated the matter in question but Government never took upon itself to interfere, nor would it be justified in advising the Com missioners as to the line of conduct they were to pursue. In an awes, therefore, to the question that had been put. he could say that no application of the nature in question had been made to his Majesty's Government. Mr. ELLICE then gave notice that on Tuesday next he' should more for a return of the amount of Exchetmerbills advanced by the Contruissioners ; anti also an account of the repay - mints that had t been made on account of the same. been read, re T e a li dx, A tch ll eH E t . :l of T oi h e e tto C y H: w tr o C ci E j h le o LO viog ß ß Q ou L s ' e E r ß esu m m o r i d di h e e d o e r b e st e t r e adjourned from last night, on the petition of the manufacturers of Spitaltields against the introduction of foreign silks. Mr. A. BARING said that he believed that every body who had heard the able speech of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Huskis. son) would admit a greater effect had never been produced upon that House, than by the ability and eloquence displayed in that speech ; at the same time, if Gentlemen would favour him (Mr. Baring) with their patient attention, be should be able to show, and he trusted to conviction, twat able as it was, it touched very lightly indeed on the main question, that of the silk trade. Ilia Rt. llon. Friend had complained that Gentlemen on that side ot the House had charged his Majesty's Ministers with being insensible to the distressed state of the country ; but when Gentlemen said that, they did not mean to say that Ministers were insensible from a want of feeling, but born a want of a proper sense of the distresses of the country. lie would give his Majesty's Ministers credit for sensibility, but as to a knowledge of the real state of distress they were wholly ignorant. There was no doubt that the measure his alsjesty'it alinisters were pursuing in regard the silk trade must be very painful to them, and that they were sacrificing their feel. ergs on the subject; but as it was Uone from a sense of public duty, he gave them the greatest praise for the correctness of their invin tion,. His Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Huskisson)had proceeded to state his view of the general state of the traae of the country, zed went into that at considerable length. lie had also remarked on a former petition presented to that House, as to the observatioal which he (Mr. Baring) had made upon it. He certaible was not answerable for the correctness of that report, bat was free to admit that he would not say. Lut it wks a correct statement of the arguments he had used on that oceasien, and those opinions he did as decidedly stand up for at the present moment as he did then. The state of the country at that time was a very extraordinary one, going from a long and torus war into a state of general peace. The affairs of the customs and finance were in such a state of contusion end embarrassment, that it was quite impossible for any man to know what he was to do veto the laws regulating those departments:. it was quite im possible that he could get at the information be requireo on that subject. Those circumstances were the result ofihe proceedinga of a Right lion. Gentleman now no more, the uprightness of whose intentions he was willing to acknowledge, but unfortunately that was the state in which he left the country. The former yeti. ion prayed for a regulation of that system, and also for a reduction (a' charges, and fur a free trade. Tile lion. Gentleman said he weakt maintain that there was nothing inconsistent in what be dui then, when compared with the line of conduct he pursued now. His Right lion. Friend the President of the Board of Trade had stated his severe opposition to the errors of practical men ; certainly ne ver were cases in which so much of irritation and animosity had arisen as in those of the silk and cotton trade ; they were greater than ever was mixed up with a party question. It might be that the absents of party questions gave a necessity for irritation, when speaking of cotton, silk, or Bank notes, for certain it was that they ware never mentioned without producing that feeling. Ilia Right lion k ri . end also, in the course of his speech, had made the most severe accuse. lions against persons in the silk trade, but they were groundless ; the persons in question were most honourable men, anti he thouyht he should be able to satisfy the House that they had done nothiva of which to be ashamed. \Vial respect to the principles ot tie s trade, all that he (Mr. Baring) maintained was, that the principles of tree trade did not preclude the adaptation of particular circuit!. stances to particular things. The general principle 4 of freedom cf action had nothing to do with particular measures and particular things. Certainly the burden of proof rested with the persoit claiming the exception ; but, there was no suasion why an exceottoo should not exist to the principle of free trade air regarded pariCulee articles, and it was quite clear that circumstances might exist where such exception should be made. The Honourable Member rad he would ask if the trade of the country wait not toll of exceptions in all its parts ? In the very case of the question that had been put by the lion. Member fur Norfolk, it appeared that in that county a duty was paid on coal brought coastwise, while the manatee. tutees of other counties paid nthing; therefore, exceptions wita. out end existed, and it there o fore became ne,essary for Par. hainent to listen to the application for exception, or at once to go into the general subject. Ile muted that a Learned Boctor would be appointed to a professorship of political economy in the University of (littera, anti he also hoped there would be law to London, and that the country would be imbued with a limper feel. ing on the subject of that science. If Gentlemen took the trouble to read the books published on the subject of political economy, they would find, instead of there being any thing like inathem.. tical agreement, that on the subject of the Corn Laws. au. ey all radically differed. If that was the case among the prase's; scientific persons, he (Mr. Baring) should not be disposed to change his opinion until (jentlemen of the Loudon Untvoisity bad arrived at a perfect knonledge of the subject ; then, and not ttli then, he should give way. lie could wish that Hun. (lentiernen would look to the more humble man, whose bank w,a :Sri.. and it was upon facts alone that relief should be pursued. His Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of 'fuse hid been very eloquent on the subject of what he considered let 1 Mr. Haring's) inconsistency on the queetion of the Silk Trade, sad he hopefflin iihoulti not be at all wanting in respect to his Right lion. Tel it he presently called his attention to the upitruni of snot hie beamed Doctor. lie begged to Rey that he not oppossd . to Right lion. Friend on other subjects, hut only on that ot v a c,. la the question of currency he had differed way sae to tare, he thought his lion. Friend was going too fast. and he did not whin to move at all until the country should be to a bt state for the par. paw. He Would now look at the coarse pursued by his Rhine ilon. Friend apon a question which must be considered of so very
