only Sr. of Ilse whole tat, ribald eel be coatestect with this proposition. Mr. BEN ETT riled for the redaction of the whole tax, in order to get rtd of the Isselaisert, that au Minister might hereafter be able to relive a tax which weighed so heavily on the peer. Mr. CA LCRA on the former. discussion be had prom ised that he would , opt propose any further redactions, het he did out thereby pledge himself not to support any motion to reduce the whole lax. He wu truly surprised at the ceeduct of the Huuourable Member for Liverpool (General Gaecovne), he wee astonished to Sad an advo cate for the reteution of any part of the salt tax in him rho bad always complaised that he (Mr. C.) did not go far mooch. With respect to the expectations of an increase in the mutant of the produce of tbe duty of has. it was impos sible, unless it were meant to lax the fat/Series. The House thendivided— Fur the Amelidateat Against it Majority 44 On Out return to the gallery— sir J. NEWPORT was on his legs, complalaing that while the Chaueller of the Exchequer was reducing the salt duty in Fhgland, be was aegmeateng it as regarded Ireland. The wholes( the Resolutions were then agreed to, and leave gives' to bring in the Rill, us:epilog the Resolution es 10 the duty on foreign salt to be imported into Ireland, which ••• ordered to be re-coesiderell on . Wediseaday seat. FOREIGN CORN IMPORTATION. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY moved the Order of the Day fur the House main into Committee on the Core DX. Mr. Ct 7 RWEN said he was convinced the present desire of the country, so far from reeeiviwg this Bill as a boos, was, that the law should remain as it stood, and is that opinion be concurred. He was fully aware of the danger to the country dike poets should be opened, but of that be saw little pros pect. He was also impressed with the conviction that the ;refloat system of avenges was opera to great freed, and he thought that the average as takes sow on English core, whilst the importations front Ireland *waisted to 1.16 th of our en tire consumption, was a (real sajostice. He considered the en couragement given to the foreign corn trade as one great cause of the aeiversal glut of it. Thepreteetian afforded by the pre sent measure be thought altogether inadequate. If 655. per quarter were • protection is average years, surely an addi twos! U. per quarter in years of scarcity could not be con ceived suoScieut. He sheath* that every article of British growth should be protected, as it gatestaeploynarot to la bour. The article of wool was ea exception,.for on that the dam diminished the qematity of labour and therefore ha was au, an advocate for it es regarded wool. He was also for having cheep cern, but cheep and dear were relative terms, /lad he wee sot fee having it so clasp as to throw labour out of employ. He could not admit that there was no conflietlog helevents In the qaestitia ; on the comity, he theeeht Mere woe one lbtereat diametri cally opposed to the landed interest ; the real interests of the maintheterers be etmeidered to he identified with the landowners, hot the interest of flee aamaitant wu entirely opposite. Tits different prate of *be kingdom were in dissi milarcircumstsaces. Seellaed ould gmow her corn at 33 per cent. cheaper than it cooed let grown in Elegised, for where the Scotch farmer paid a Joey of 6d. the farmer in England paid lid, He tbeeglifehat it world sot be the pour lands, but the lauds which produced the most, which would he the first to he thrum nut of cultivation. The Boa. Member concluded by dkelarleg his intention to take tie seas/sof the House ea the quahog. Mr. WESTERN said, that in eusequesoe of the strong applications which he bad received from Ws Oralstillitata. and the various Petitions which be had is his pocket, he should thigh it his duty to support his Hoe. Friend (Mr. Careen); end he could assure the Noble Lord (London dory) that from one end of the country to the other the agriculturists deprecated the passing of the measure, sad he therefore should think it extremely unwise for the measure to be pressed. Mr. BENETT said the gemmal *wise throughout the country was to let the law alma. Mr. D. BROW NE supported Ile Speaker's leaving tie chair. He eusidered the Bill an improvement on the old law, and that it would prevent the foreign corn from com ing tato the country as it had dome. Mr. CANNING rou to move an instruction to the Com mitter, the subject of which, he said, was not new to the House, having been introduced to its attentioa in a Petitioe • from the holders of foreign cure at Liverpool. It was un doubtedly a.grest object to get rid of the accumulation of fo reio corn, and the holders entertained the hope that Wit were grotlad Into flour there would be au oy,portunity of exporting it to the West Indies or some other place, and it was wined that permission 'build he gluey that it might be taker, out for the purpose of being ground for exportation, and failing of attiaatwitla, that it might be returned hale warehouse. The regattaton would be, that the person taking out foreign con, should enter into hoed to rotors even a larger than the usual proportion of Hoer. II might be permitted to remain for the chance •of exportatime a certain time, say six weeks, aid then to be returned into bond, and sot suffered to come out for home consumption lilt the ports were opened. The R. flat Humutrable Gentleman coacluded by moving an is stractiim to the Camas ittee to the effect abuse stated. General G A SCOTN E said a few words. Mr. CANNING said, of coarse his motion was only hp pethetleal, dependant on the passing of the Bill. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he would with drew his motion for the Speaker leavieg the Chair, is mints, give kis Right Hon. Friesid an opportunity dunking his mo tion, to the principle of which he could see no objection, at the same time he would vesture to reeemmeed that the debate should not be takes theta, bat is the Committee. He did not propose the present as the very beat ears law shark the House of Commons reek, have framed, bet as great improvement of the law as it now existed, and pre senting a security against bring inuedsted with foreign corn. With recant to the objections stated by the Hon. Members fur tumberland sled Essex, he must say that if the Ram were to wait till they devised sume measure that would v.lisfy every one, they might not proceed till doomsday. He begged to withdrew his notion for the Speaker leaving the Chair, and hoped the Howse would not gel into a de tailed discussion on the grinding clause.—(A laugh.) Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE said he would say a very few words upon that grinding clause, respecting which the flobla Lord had been so very facetious. He feared it would be difficult to earry Ike plan into minutiae, and at the nine time giving a proper security against the flour coming into the Lane market. He believed the Bill was disliked at pre. slat, sad that dislike would by the 'mutinied clause be in. creased leoful.l. He had 100 petitions from different parts of the country against the Bill, with instructions to get them Imesented by some Noble Lord to the other House of Par.. unseat, is case it should pass that HOOK. Vv.-RICARDO agreed that if the clause could not be in troduced with a full security evilest the doter coming into the knee market, it ought not to he admitted, bat if that secu rity could be fumed, be thought it would be most unjust to deprive the lvdders of fureiga corn of it. He thought the Sill of the Noble Lord would he a great improvement on the pr , s.nt law, slid so far it had his approbation.— The Hun. Member for Cumberland founded all his argu tants us the value of corn in pounds sterling, but be (Mr. Ricardo) did nut retard the pound sterling, but be was anxious that the people should have an abundant supply of two, aid an immure of their comforte, sod he thought a limner Gordian is the trade calculated to produce those eff tntni sad he aliireeed entirely from the Hog. Member as to 'he ill dim' which it would have upon the demand fur Inner. Mr. WESTERN said be should not object to the proposi tion of the Rigbt HOLD. Gentleman (Mr. Crowing) wader Peeper garde. kir J. NEWPORT had no objection to the clause ' on the understanding that proper moans should be applied to pre vent the Hour being brought into the home consumption. If the holders were ably to g.t rid of their stocks, he believed that would be &great benefit to the agriculturists. Mr. I). BROWNE explained. Mr. BENEIT would agree to the douse, if it were to Imapplled otsty to the 'Core witieli vas Bei' Isere. The Hoese Hien divided— Ayes Noes .......... ........... 39 Majority lO7 10 answer to questiosi from Mr. Deets Browse, 'l•be SPEAKER timed, that it was ie the power lotf the Committee to lower but sot to raise the dutiem; and also that any amendment might be received which should he proposed. - Mr. DENIS BROWNE then proposed, that the House should now resolve itself into a Cuiamittee, to consider the laws relative to the importation of cora. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observed, that those who thought that higher duties should be imposed, would vote fur the proposition just proposed; bnt those who thought the present duties sufficient would of course vote for the original motion. Mr. BENETT wished to know, whether it were the in. teat ion of the Right Hots. GenUernao (Mr. Browne) to reduce the due'', and to regulate the import prier. Mr. BROWN R answered is the affirmative. Lord LONDON DERRY remarked that it was net usetie glary the Committee should regulate the import puke. Mr. BEN EIT said he could not consent that the im port price should be reduced, inasmuch as he saw no erases why t►e British farmer should be placed in a worse.eillita tios than before. The amendment was then put and negatived. Mr. CURWEN said he wished now to takelhe grime of the House on the original question of the Speaker's larding the Chair. The House then divided. The numbers were— Ayes Noes 4l Majority in favour of the motion for the Speaker's having the Chair 108 The House then went into a Committee on the Bill. Mr. WHITMORE proposed that the import price should be reduced from 70s. to 055., and he felt the more confident is making that proposition in consequence of the encourage meat he received from the Committee of last year, and the very able resolution of a Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Haskiseon). It was his opinion that unless the present system was altered that only the agricultural interests would be sacrificed, but commerce would no 1007.17 remain in its present prosperity. fib JOHN NEWPORT considered that it would has asset extraordioary proposition when they were devising means ts relieve the distresses of the agriculturists, to reduce the its port price without an adequate compensation ; and if that would be iejuriouetuEngland, bow much more su in hatted, where out of seven millions more than four millions of the inhabitants were employed lu agriculture. He would wish to remind the House that our manufactures flourished berme foreigners bad ever supplied us with provisions. Mr. DAVIES GILBERT opposed the amendment so the posed that it could only tend to enrich the foalgairr at time expense of our owe agriculturists. Mr. WODEHOUSE said that so far was he from concur• ring inithe proposition before the Committee, that he should propose that the import price be raised from 70s. to 76e. Mr. RICARDO expressed his rence in the Resole lieu of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Whitmore), whose opinion* were entitled to some weight, as all his property lay to agri culture, and he was sere his proposition was the molt of mature consideration. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY objected to so rapid a change as that which bad bees proposed. Perhaps he did not see himself the great danger that others might, but is legislating out these subjects they must pay some *Malicia to Ike public Beller, The House then divided. The numbers were.— Ayes ... 42 Nom . 97 ifolorily against the motion.... 46 Mr. BANKER then proposed that a cloute should be in troduced into the Bill, reacting that the duty should be paid at the time of importation before the corn was ware. housed. Mv. ROBINSON opposed that proposition, because he Naught if carried into effect it would tend to destroy the warehousing system altogether. After • few words from Mr. MARRYATT, Lord CRAN BORN E, and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, tbe Com mittee again divided, wad the proposition was negatived by a majority of 37, the numbers being— Ayes • Noes. Majority . .. 37 Os our return to the gallery a abort discussion took place, Is the coarse of which Sir E. KNATCHBULL said be felt it hi.. duty to take the sense of the House upon the propriety of rejecting the Bill entirely. The amendineut was put and negatived without a divisioo. Mr. CANNING then proposed a clause, the object of which was to allow foreign corn which bad been warehoused to be ground, bet atiachisg • penalty to offering it fur sale is the British market. Lord LONDONDERRY observed, that be understood It bad been the intention of the Hon. Member for Portarling ton (Mr. Ricardo) to make that proposition the subject of • separate Bill, bet seeing the sense of the House strongly against him, he abandoned the idea. He would then sug gest to his Right Hon. Friend whether adding that clause now might not endanger the fate of the measure. Mr. CANNING said, he had no objection to withhold the clause for the present, but on the undersiending that when the Report was brought up the clause should be discussed, sod if approved by the House, inserted in the Bill. After some further discutsion, in which Mr. Ricardo, Mr. J. Beneti, Mr. Thompson, Lord Crenborue, the Marquis of Loodooderry, sad Sir E. Kosichboll, took part, the clause was agree,' to, the Hoesc resumed, and the Report was or dered to be received this day. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, sad the House adjuursed at HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK. CATTLE AND SHEEP. RETURN to as Order of the Hod.

HAGUE, MAY 28. iIEcOND CHAMBER OF THE STATap OSISFRAL. In this sitting • most important message from his Majesty was read, accompanied by a project of law of the greateit interest, relating to the &minces of ' the kingdom, which it is proposed to relieve by orating the Caine d'Amortiotentent with the Syndi cate of the Netherlands. The following is on out line of his Majesty's Message:— " By our Message of 21st December 1821, we oigninod to your High Mightinessek that reboil takes ism our serious consideration the question, whether the Calm AMOY fistelsent will always be able to continue the operation fur the redemption oft Le deferred debt, in the manner last adopted, and that it was our intention is due time to sub mit to your assembly proposals trading to Ibis end. "A scrupoilous examination of this interesting subject, his convinced no of the necessity, at the high price of the deferred debt and the lottery tickets belongieg to it, to take measures os the subject, to avoid being obliged to inertial*, the means of the Caine trAmorlissement, and consequently* the burdens of the contributors. " In these measures the rights of the creditors etf / Stele were to be scrupulously maintained. We have, there. fore, adopted the idea of the offer of a reluatarY ettlavrraithl of the deferred debt, and lottery tickets into debt, bearing Interest, retaining the regulations at present existing for these holders who shall nut desire to participate in the eon iretiiion of the debt." The message then proceeds to develope his Majes ty's further views for the relief of the national bur dens, it unfolds the nature of the plan proposed,and shews that while it will greatly benefit the nation in general by an almost immediate reduction of the contributions, it will not be disadvantageous to the public creditor, so that his Majesty expects a re• duction of four millions of florins in the expendi ture of 1823, arid hopes that if . the States General approve of these measures, the natio° will be in that happy situntioa which this assembly has so ofteu desired, when being easy in regard to its finances, their attention may be directed wire steadily to the other subjects connected with the prosperity of the kingdom. His Majesty touched on the difficult duty he had to perform in his en deavours to introduce a solid linaucial system, the great diversity of opinions that has prevailed, the disagreeable impressions which it has been attempt ed to excite, bat which his Majesty has disregarded, in the hope that the notion would sooner or later appreciate what he has done. Though nothing could deter his Majesty from fulfilling the most painful part of his duties, it was agreeable for him to be able to propose, on the 30th of Jemmy last, a project which, without increasing the burdens of the nation, will ensure it considerable advantages, by covering the arrears and extraordinary charges and offering means to increase the national indus try by opening new communications by land and water. His Majesty then expresses his ardent satisfaction at being now able to lay before the Chamber the present project, which will afford a great relief to the nation, and doubts not that the Chamber will be happy to concur in establishing such salutary measures. " We are now arrived," totscludes his Majesty "at the time when our floaticial institutions alkrw us to examine what are the burdens which the nation can and must Mar, and what are the sacrifices which it may be spared. May Providence preserve to as this state of thins! may its di •iue goodness avert from Its whatever might lead to fresh calamities ! and may the Belgic people oriole', ender the protection of Heaves, all the proaperity, all the National hoover, of which it is readeisd capable by its sitaattun, and by the rank it bolds among the nations of Eurotn• 0 We pray In God to have your High hlighlieesses order hit Holy protection.

Soon after twelve o'clock the Chair was lakes by bit Royal Highness the Duke of Gt.osictirrw, who was sorrooaded by person, of dials's-lieu, amongst whom we observed, Lords Suffield, Blesision, Catthorpe, and Regent; T. W. Coke, Esq. M.P., W. Wilberforce, Esq. M.P., Bootle Wilbraham, Esq. M.P., the Huts. H. G. Bennett, M.P., T. F. Buxton, Esq. M.P. &e. The Report of the Committee was then read, which rioted that great improveaseuts had taken place, through the ex ertions of the Society, not only in the gaols and. houses of correction in Enalabd, but also in those of the sister country, where the Irish Government had afforded csery possible as. andante in their power to promote the benevolent objects of the Institution. Communications had been formed with es. tablishoseats of a similar nature on the Continent—in PirOlb Pik where they were patronised by the Prince Royal-.-in France and Russia, where the Emperor Alexander hail con . descended to direct his Dilemma to the subject at metal trader the consideration of the meeting. Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, after expressing hie gra tification at bearing so favourable an account of the progress of their labour'', moved, tbat the Report should be primed with such further details as might seem fit to the Com mittee of Managemeat, which was agreed to. Lord SUFFIFA.O said there wan one particular point which be wished the public to understand clearly and dis tinctly. An assertwo had bees made that the mildewy of that Society was to tender a gaol a comfortable and desirable habitation. Now he was ausious to rescue the Seesery sot only from the attacks of those who were openly and decidedly hostile to it, but also from the inuendos of persoas who " Damn with faint praise, smut with civil leer, And, wit bout stseeriog, ethers teach to sneer." He denied the truth of that assertion altogether; their plan was not to introduce luxuries into place of coofinement, so that those whose period of imprisonment had e•pord would he glad to relies to scenes or gearificdtion tied , niuy 'scut, but to attend to the health and niver's of d.r Fri- a.........60.A. • sk* le provide them with embitter -its, whirls Was very lye remedy either in pommel .or correct:DE rweiv-1 , - Imbibe.

The Hoe. H. G. BENNETT Phil that some time ago the iminn af toofinement in gaols was mach that it ugh, tended to interring crime, There was no claseigesiMe of prostowers; those who were matured is vice had eisundant opportunity IA inculcate their dangerous principles upuu those who were comparatively , innocent. He adverted to the state of a gaol which was • disgrace to owe of the miticinal towns of the kingdom (Bristol.) Is that prise, the lowest dungeon was helot , * the bed of the river—there were tirrs of tells nee over the other, front which the smell was so offensive, the Keeper bad told him he could scarcely bear to go near them ; war so cleselfiestins of pinwale s—male sod female, old and youttg, all were promisceously huddled together. The re, Lions of that Society had contributed much to improve the state of gaol., gad he was happy to say that notwithstandine all the discouraging circumatauces they had encountered, they were 'linking a succeeifill progress. ' Mr. WILBERFORCE wished the attention of the So. tlety to be particularly direr led to those who Were risme both In years and crime. Many of them, perba,s, need their fall to the deprivation of the fostering kindoein and food endearments of a mother, or of the steady voter-IWe asd salutary authority of a fdtber; many bad been left uo the worst orphanage of vice and estitution. Theie were some who entered at any attempt to reform those juv•oile otreoder., but he thought they knew little of the home', heart, they knew little of themselves, who tonsideitd it impracticable, and he was sure there was even in the worst, some latent good feeling, which, belug rightly managed, would afford some chance of reformation mid improvement. Several other Gentlemen afterwards addiessed thr Chair man at congderable length, and a vote of 'heels to hid Royal Highness the Doke-of Gloucester having been iies•ed, the meeting broke up.

OPERA CHARITY FETE. As a traveller, sad oar who wishes to see as much as pos sible of the gamer. and splendour of civilized sitioes, as well as the customs and slavery of at WC wild ones, I considered the halt given lest Thursday at the Eing'is Theatre for the relief of the distressed high one of the best opportuaities that cheat* could afford rue to belvild as assembly of the beauty and inagaificenee of this country, and to contribute at the same time to that charitable purpose. Unfortunately, having been very recently nw the Continent, I returned to England too late to provide myself rick a ticket of admission late the King's Theatre on the above night. I communicated ivy wishes to some friends oaly the day before the ball was to take plaice, sad on Thursday morniug • person front a respecahle quarter called at my homer, and acquainted me that Mr. Ebeirs, owner of the Ring's Theatre, had 100 tickets to dispose of, and that I might procure use at the price of 10 guineas. I did not hesitate to scud for the ticket, meaning to contribute that sum to the above charity; bnt 1 am store Wormed that only two guineas out of ten will be applied to the relief of the poor; and as I am going out of Eng land witbio a few weeks, sad probstly a long time will *tepee before my return, I could nut lose the ptomain: opportuuity of satisfying toy curiosity la seeing a British fete for charity's sae. Accordingly, l 'wrested myself at the theatre, sad whoa half up slain, my ticket was requited. It bore the name of the Countess de Ore,; and oes the back, that of Mr. Teatime. No sooner did I present it to the check-taker, than be ecquaiated me that I was not permitted to pass on ; and in a very abrupt manner, said that I mutt stop there: at the same time he called some one out, nod tiro police officers appeared, who tonk me I, thew custody; sod in that slate I remained f::r about a quar ter of an hour, espored (es if I had been in a pillory) to the public, who eutered so crowds at the time. I will not eater en the *Patois of the petty insnits I re ceived, or on what I fell, fur that may easily be eat ceived from any one who bait feelings of honour ; at lear n perceiving a gentleman converting with the office's, who kept • strict watch over me, as if I bad committed anew: high treason, I requested that be would have the good ness to be witness that I was then fonder an serest by the police officers; he was the Earl of Ancrom, tabu having been informed that I had the ticket from Mr. Ebcrs, "sift it was • ticket which had been Nut; and I was nimble to conceive bow it could bete fallen into the hands of Me. Ebers to be sold. At ISM, baring gtvrn my name it.. the Noble Earl, he told me' lis give my ticket to him ; f, i e which, iii exchange, his Lordship Itiodly offered me his own, which I accepted, and entered the theatre, where, by the illusion and splendour of the scene, I anon forgot the disagreeable adventure al the door. His Majcity had not yet entered the house, and I wa. waiiing with thousands more, fur his desired appearsace. Half so hour had elapsed, when not less than three Buw.street runners, or rather thiese catchers, surrounded me, and with that genileoess which they are, I suppose, accustomed to use to felon., I was consume:led to march out and appear before Sir Richard Ramie, who was is the commit town, sad iiii:h the Who. ritative tore with which, IN doubt, he addresses rogues and thieves, ordered me to walk out of the house. I attempted to address mteself to him and to explain ; but be said, " I will not bear any thing from you, Sir, you "mitred with a wrong ticket ' s's] you mast go out. Officer* do your deep— s' I will take epee myself to answer all." Aad skis was mid with a mile, sigoiTytog, as I thought, that no reproaches could be made to • person like himself foe whatever dryer he might contrail. 1 nsust confess that I was a little at loss bow to seeount foe all this proceeding; bat coal.] not suppose that the owner of it. theatre himself could sell .a ticket, the bearer of which must become the victim of WHa us weiremeli II andieid regulation : but what ess-pea..... iue woo,. all was, thatßie Binds., bayous hev es' she cluens"," on one side, would no err that lathe ether. Had Sir Rie hind heath reed to my de e, I would hare teed him at once that I lied bought the tiebatfrom Mr. Ebers, who was then in the house, and having a*ertaiaed that I bought the ticket from him, Sir Richard world have acted right, and all would isaaecorted satisfactorily; but the more [attempted 'in explauatiou, the more peremptorily be ordered his sandlots to ilo :heir du. lies. Thus I vas form a wetly correct idea. at in' ~..0 •a. pease, of the impartial admiaiiitratinn of iiiiitice by this ren. degas". I hdd in my hands the ticket air... to inn :.y Ito Earl of Animism, which was 'Patched from my baud by one of the geotlensen ollcera, and which ticket wan also pro nounced to be wrong. Nothing could thin weert the irons,. d i late execptios of terming me out of dome; s.d even the medistimeof the Lord Mayor, who nay carnally pp Scot, end had signified that be Lure me, could not erevail en p•• Richard he examine this unpl t affair, la.foie he SO IMO; I y coudemord ma; yet this gent lemao is at the bead of slit po lice neer the greatest oistropolo• in the world!
