TAX ON ABSENTEES._ Lord BOLILIZET wished to ask the Noble Earl opiinsite a question wpm &subject to which he had already tolled his arention some years ago. Oe the former oceasiou the Noble Earl regretted he could sot yield to his view of the ease, sad Isit(Lood Bulkeley) wee at the time rather tom romddy handled fee a peer little Welshman —(A iuupk) by somber Noble Lord. His questions was, whether it were not poseibie to devise seine plan for the prfrpose of taxing eh sestet., either by • charge on their passports, or iii some other way? There were interest aselbers commonly going shooed, either.. besiaess or pleasere--aed the couatey, in its present slate, ought to have some of its hardens shared among those who were absenting themselves in the matinee be had mentioned. The evil of these absentees " had in creased, is iscreasing, sad might to be diminished." The Earl of LITIMPOOL remembered \Beteg isiforniell the Noble Lord when he put a similar question to him us the fernier period, that he had au objectiou to the principle of such a tax, if the difficulties attending iti imposition' could be removed. But upon all the consioleratioa which be could give the subject, he brefessed he could ant see his way through any sereemoseet that eoeld be practically ad emanates hp the country. Thosigh the Government were unable to institute any such measure in their view of the case, they were perfectly ready to adopt soy suggestiuua which should appear to them practicable with reference to the subject. He certainly doubted the wand of the Noble Lord's propositions, that the evil " is iairremiug;" foe feet year the absentees were certainly less sidesteps. thao at aa asieeedeet period.

AGRICU LTURA L PETITIONS. lord Stigvirticam prevented a Petition froth certain Oworis mod Occupiers of Land in the custody of Snob; praying for ay iuquisy into the present state of the Agritul heal Distress. The Duke of thearrox sod Lord Suasion permuted si milar Petitions from (ranee' sad Occupiers of Lead is the tonsil) , of Suffolk. The Earl of H•assroon, in presenting tiro Petitions is the fame effect from Owners mid Occupiers of Land in the neigliburribourl of Honeaster, said, that he did lot mem to pledge himself to any particular line of cuudebt Nepotist these Petitions. The above Petitions were severally laid on the table. SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS. Lord aistrrOn rose to preseut • Petition froin a member of Newsreaders, against the publication of Sunday Newspapers, which they considered extremely mischievous, es emmossegbig • breech of the Sabbath. The Noble Lord slated, that he concurred with tin Petitioners in their view of Sunday Newspapers. The number published on the Sabbath day amounted to 43,000, WillCll 011 the smallest calcolation were teed by 200,000 ;wrootis oat the day that, were it uol for *Me Papers, ibsir wAbbls Ihmprelobiliti. In ossearposinirs more storable es tionChristins dello they ought fo perform. Besides the violation of the committed by those who devoted their time on the Sudsy to reading the papers to which he alluded, there were alb a number of others who were equally induced to forget their Chrieilin Jahn by the occupations they enjoyed Its the different departments of the publications themselves. Numbers were thus diverted, bulb by the reading and circa". lal ing of the Suuday Papers, fiom those pursuits in which they *mild otherwise be eugaged, were it not that their aileik Hop win Called off in the manner he bad already He objeeted to those Papers, bath for the doctrines Ibby mineoined, as well 4 the breach of Sabbath they canted. mad. Ihright the subject certainly entitled to the interfereace of the Legislature. He would perhaps himself subunit a Bill to their Lordship@ on the subject. He concluded by vinseiogi that the Petition do lie oat the table. • Lord liOtbaten said, that if sack • Bill were introdutted; he should oppose it in every stage. If the Sonday papers asalaisid soy objectionable doctrine', they were, like all Warr pablicasiuss, amenable to the law, @flitch was tarok essesgh to meet any evil of that kind. He ceitalely sew he mike reason to interfere with the &mint thus with the daily papers, in the manner hiuted at. Earl GROSVENOR concurred with the Nob* Lard who protested the petition is the impropriety of permittiag the publication of Sunday newspapers, and In the breach of the Sabbath occasioned by their establishment sae eireehillie. He bad bug since elsewhere (we presume Wile, his Lordship was " Neosho of the Hulse of Comennes) entlearmared to fall the attention of the Legislature to this evil, bet he petted without effect. He wow, as well as them, lameined with the petitioners the consequences which sprung tress the pnillicatiou of newspapers on the Sabbath day. Whe. titer the sentiments they promulgated were loyal or disloyal mattered little to his view of the question, fur he thought the publication in asy shape an evil, ea the day which ought to be universally appropristed to the performance of religiose duties. The practice was iudecent sad highly dr. Itimental to the religions principles of the people. It was Most desirable that the publication of Sunday papers shoold be prwitdied. The Earl of Latutegetiv: entirely differed from his Noble Friend who spoke heel on this sullied. First, as a matter of , he thought the Sunday papers entitled to consideration; but next, on the point of fact, be believed that so far from the mechanics of the Sunday Papers being towlected on the Salithadt by; it was finished on the Ss herds, sight, and the only papers that were really in warm of working on the Sunday, would on inquiry be bead to be, he apprehended, the Monday moruiug papers; as that as against the Suodsy piper", the *bilk weight of titan:dal part of the argument mast fall. The Petition was thew Maiden the table. SPANISH SLAVE TRADE—RUSSIAN SUGAR TRADE.

Lord GIAIIVILLS presented • similar Paitio• frees the Mem-lasts and Masorfacteirers al Wolverhaniptde. Tess Petitions were laid on the table. STATE OF THE NATION. The Marquis of Lent:tomt rose to bring foe. bard his promised motion for the appointment of a Committee to consider or the best means of re viving the foreign trade of this country. He was impelled by an imperatiie sense of duty to brine forward tile important question, and he held himself booed to state to their Lotdships some reasons in justification of the task he had thus imposed upon himself. He assured their Lordships he felt as became him, that ibis task might have fallen into other hands among them better calculated to bring it forward, to introduce it mote correctly, more powerfully, and more satis factorily, than he had it in his power to develope it lot their consideration, lit much better hands still Might it have devotees!, if the Government, with all the information before them which the subject required, brought it forward either within or without the walls of Pariitment, with all the sanction and weight which wutild necessarily attach to their authority. But yeari having now elapsed since the ionblic distresses becitate severely felt, since inquiries were repeatedly called for by various Classes of the people into the situation hi which they found thethselvei placed, slate the subject had engaged the attention of every thinking man in the country, end nothing having been yet done, it at length behoved their Lordships to recollect, that if the Government failed in calling their attention to so Intpottant a subject, they had; nevertheless; a duty to perform themselves, from which they could not depart, without compromising the iutereits of their Country. After their Lordships had seed the poli tical horizon obscured by cloud., Whet. Instead of dissipating, continued tii increase in density and darkness, they must feel that they were no longer ' justified in teiusiiiiug silent speCiortors of I prospect so vitally iliecting stl the intetets of the coamou nity ; they must be sensible they could Ise !orbiter refrain from instituting an inquiry into those evils, of the exiltence of which the countiy so lon corn phsined iu all ber classes from one end of the em pire to souther. Seeing no dispesitiou to take up the subject in any of these quarters in which it could be more efficiently examined, he felt it his duly to take it up with the feeble lights he had it in his ',cower to cast tifion a course ito general and so complicated. In proposing the inquiry. he felt it his duty to restrict himself to one branclri and he preinived that In (Wog so, he begged distinctly not to be understood as in any shape wishing to tooter. fere with the province of any rfoble Lord wins 1 may think any other branch of the subject de. 1 serving of their Lordships' particular consideration. The 'reason he set out with instituting the inquiiy I 'lO .gs 7,4444101.11 L: • itt : 1 -4 V !•,!*. .•. .. . • • 1.7 ♦ / '! ~ •" , ss r • : • . PRICE Id. which he meant to moose, was from an oppreheo• pion that if lie embarked in a wide view of the groeral 'object, end that their Lordships appointed a Committee to enter spa, so coospeelseosive an in. quiry, the result would be thet the Committee weld have to wade through every opecies of them", to se. coned', or attetnpt to reconcile jarring interests, each with • partial or miscoriceival view of its'owri cuter benefit; so that in the end.it would be idiot', impossible for the Committee to cuine to soy prac tic.il conclusion, or make any report uniiicombered with discordant propositions, and the crude and in conclusive theories of clashing interest., He guard.. ed himself nt the nuteet against the dificulties. the insurmountable difficulties oittendaut upon such a course of proceeding, and confined Ins inquiry particularly to shot - branch of the invi-stiganoo which comprehended the foreign trade of this country ; and he also guarded himself against this inquiry, should it be entered into, being considered as concluding any other which their Lordships may Aim it proper to @stet opal, catmeeted with the , general state of the toilette,: The raison he se.s looted the state of foreign treats as a fit subject fee immediate investigatiou, was, because it was question less likely -than soy other to call forth the strong feelings of large classes of the coin.; enmity, and one which iu. fact involved, more than any other, the general interests of the whole. In looking at this important subject he aware that their Lordehips could not for a moment coun tenance any opinion su impolitic, as that the special interests of any class in the community were to be cousidered as separated from that of any other body of the people in the present general distreas which prevailed, or that the ioterest of the one could be upheld by any special and exclusive privilege for the other. If ever such an idea prevailed it never could be realised—it was impracticable—for so in. 'operably interwoven were the laws of Providence with the real interests of mankind, and so certainly operative were they beyond all human statutes and regulations, that the wants of men would ever be found to renulate their acts end to govern their destinita.
