Petitions continue to be presented in the House of Commons from various ports of the country,. praying for • remission of the remaining part of HSU"( HUNT'S sentence. Mr. LASIBTON present ed a Petition last night, signed by 4,820 inhabit , ants of the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying for Mr. HUNT'S liberation; but the terms its which it was couched grated too harshly upon the ears of • large msjority of the Members, and the Petition was in consequence rejected. The expressions were undoubtedly harsh, and but ill calculated to con ciliate the favour of the House for the benefit of the individual whom the Petitioners professed to serve; but they contained some wholesome troth., and were undoubtedly not more harsh than the terms of many other Petitions winch have been from time to time received by the House upon the subject of Parliamentary Reform. The House of Com mons ought not to weight in an over-nice balance the language of every Petition that is addressed to *them. When free men perceive the existence of gross abuses, they must feel them strongly. sod words will necessarily assume a temper born the feelings which they are meant to convey. It would, we conceive, be wholly impossible to frame a Pe tition to the House of Commons upon the necessity of a Reform in the Represeutation of the People, which should not contain words that the Court of King's Bench, in strict interpretation, would not pronounc► to be libellous. Th• very sct of stating that the House of Commons does not properly re present the people of the United Kingdom, and that reform is therefore isece-sary, is • libel; so is it • libel to say that the Government is upheld by corruption, and yet not many nights have elapsed since the Marquis of LONDONDERRY assured the House . or Common' that it would be impossible for the Mi nisters to impel their scheme of government if places avowedly useless—mere sinecures with large salaries, were plucked from their hand*.

The Standing Committee were ready to admit, that s far as the protection of their property went. the West Indio Docks had fully answered the object of their limitation, but the value of thus protection must always be mouldered in relation to the cost of it.

Nor were the Dock Company .at all neglectful of their buildings, as might be imagined feorn this large residue; on the contrary, they had expended in additional buildings and repairs . 828,0001:, and by that amount they might be sad • to have increased the value of their original capital; and though in 1810. when there appeared a wei r ;'• dee of 516,0001., the Committee of the House 4 Commons had considered 'that se applicobleN'te reduction of rates. yet, though the sum had Vo. passively increased. no adequate reductional heal' been made.
