He was sorry for having trespassed so long on their Lordships fime, and ill/Hiked them fur having heard him with so much patience. He con cluded by moving that the Petition should be read and laid on the table. The Petition was then read. Lord CALTHOSPS said, he could not forbear from rising to confirm all the allegations in the Petition as to the agricultural distress of the country, which was there so well described. He could speak as to the respectability of the majority of the meeting his Noble Friend had allnded to, and the opinion expressed by them on that occasion was the decided opinion of the mass of the Apple of a neighbouring county (Suffolk), us to the necessity of re i renchinerit and of Parliarneutery Reform. The unanimity of the meeting at Norfolk was complete until the latter Resolution was proposed, it was 'metre, supported by a great majority ; but whether it was carried with the concurrence of those persons who had the preponderance of wealth in the county. could dot be ascertained, as it toss carried Sy acclamation amongst the people. When be made uss of the appeilatsou people, he meant the middle clam of society, who were in general the best educated part of the com munity, and must at all times be considered the strength of the country; and he could assure their Lordships that in the lust six years this class had become determined advocates for Reform, from what cause it was net for hie to explain, altboogh the task was not difficult. His Majesty's Moister' carried every question which they proposed by a Said majority, which seemed to 11111 thinking clue of the community to be invent. stalest that they court always bring the some majority always to think as they did, and the people not being able to account for it, perhaps improperly thought Ministers pia. ed their majorities by ;corruption. The class of people be had been describing were not attached to say party, but they looked to canoes, sad the obstacles which prevented retrenchment is the expenditure of the State, which they had found oat to be the influence that Ministers found it necessary for them to helm in latter years to teenage the affairs of the State. He did not agree with bit Noble Friend that the peseta Ministers would be overthrown by parting with part of their patronage; as be was persuaded if they could keep public feel. tag with them, they would be better able to carry no the stairs of go►ersmeat, and it world be better t►an their in consistent conduct in Parliament in regard to retrenchment. He could not help alluding to the proposed changes that were to be made is the Corn Bill, as introduced by ose of the Maunders in t►e oilier House of Parliament, when he recollected they had beets proposed two Sessions before in that House, carried, and gut rid of by the same Minister on the folluwiag night. He therefore could not but think that public feeling was out sufficiently attended to by the Par. Gamest. He did not attribute all the serieolieral dieter's to the Corn Bill; at the manse time he could net ►elp recol lecting that it was declared by a commissariat the other Hones of Parliament, that the warehousiss system was the most fruitful system of peculation. holders in the eounty of Buckingham, praying some relief to agricelt oral distress. Mr. RICARDO presented a Petition from John Goode, praying for an alteration in the system of Ssvinga The Petitioner prayed that the system of anneity might be 'nestled upon she Savings Basks, and by Ibis mesas that the rate of interest might be reduced to 3 per cent. Mr. CURWEN was of opinion, that the principle was likely to kad to beneficial results. It held out to permits and labourers unmarried the means of providing comforts in their old age; and it would also tend to prevent the greatest of all evils—pauperism. The Petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. CURTEIS presented a Petition from the Rape of Hastings, is the County of Sussex, praying some relief to agriculture. General GASCOYNE presented • Petition from the Corporation and Trustees of Ducks, in the Towu of Liver pool, praying for additional docks. Mr. WILSON slaved fir returns of the quantity a wool imported is the years 1821 sad lett ; and also for Mures of the qeantity of sheep and lamb's wool imported hats Greet Britais•deriog the same period, ilistinersbing those which had paid • duty of s peen, sad those elfish had paid eiropeate. Me. LOCKHART presented a Petition from oreesis Landholders in the Cosiwty of Derby, praying were relief to agile. ors. He prayed the House to attehd to it ; fur if seam other remedy besides that proposed by the Noble Marquis (Loadonderry) were not adopted, the Clergy would be oneadoweel, the landlords would be without rent:roll% the poor without labour, and all charities would be annihilated. • Nothing suety emceed the statwof misery to which the poor were redeem'. There were at present is she ted of Bury, is Sullelk, eighty person' coalsed for • 'limey if these reviews entered the held for the parpeee of being taken rep, preferring imprisonment to at its*. Mr. DENMAN staled it was his intention to present.• Bailie. from Mr. Batt, who was now • prisoner io White reessAitreet prison. The Solicitor-General was entities to be present, but be was then absent apes other business, and as he (Mr. Drosses) was in hopes that an investigation was likely to kad to his liberation, he should postpone the Petition till to-morrow evening. Mr. HUME moved fur retort's of first commissions granted in the royal artillery and artillery drivers, of Second Lieutenants that bad been made First Lieutenants ; First Lieutenants, Captains; Captains, Majors; Majors, Lies tenaut.Culosels; and Lieuterant•Colonels, Colonels, from the 26th January, 1810, to the 26th January, 1822; and also the somber of officer' brought from half-pay, to cones. quince of deaths or dismissals, distinguishing each carpe. He also moved fur rehires of overseer of works dismissed from the ordnance service from the Ist of January, 1816, to the Ist of January, lilt, and those retired or put upon half-pay, distin guishing the salaries they at present receive and bow twig they have bees in th e service. He also m oved for re hires of the number of midshipmen promoted to be Lunde nests, First Lieutenants to be Second Lieutenants, Seemed Lieutenants to be Coninasaders, ire. Ike. from the Ist Ja , ivory, 1816, to the Ist January, ISIS, distinguishing each year. And also, fur the number of all officers retired epos kaltpay from the nary, and stating whether any, and if so, bow many were at present is holy orders. Mr. CROY Eli thought the Honourable Member should be satisfied with as aceutiot of the numbers without the names. remuneration of his services; but if the wickets sere to be passed in a lump, it would be quire impossible for ilie House to see what wee going forward. He thought it. therefore, better .to begin at the outset, and instead of moving that the Speaker do leave the Chair, he shonrld move. for returns of the number of niarihrs,. In voting supplies to the navy, the House should look to .tbe various useless expensev they were called upon to provide for. He would take, for instance, Admiral Cochrane, who had a salary at Plymouth of 4,000/. a year, with three seer!. taries, for taking care of two vesicle. He should be glad to know what was the necessity of the expense of three secretaries. He should not saw object to going into the Committee for the pur pose,of voting the Exchequer bills, and he should then move for his returns. He begged the atten tion of the House to one important fact relating to this marines. The expense of that service was tins . year 1,000/. lesu than last. But the House would be surprised at the small decrease, when they con sidered the alteration its the price of provisions. One pound nineteen shillings per man was the ex pense per month at • time when salt beef was from 101. to lil. per tierce. and that was only three shillings more than now, when provisions were et half ptice. The House should be pot in possession of the actual amount, for without correct estimates it was impossible to know what they were doing. With respect to the ordnance, he found in the se venth year of peace 95,000/. for ball and powder. He would advise the Government to look to the Report of the Committee of Finance, which stated that the expense of these articles in time of peace would be considerably reduced. He was at a loss to know, unless the powder was thrown overboard, how 95.000/. could be expended in that manner ; and before the Speaker quitted the Chair be should move for these return's. Their Lordship met •t ten o'clock. APPEALS. IrtitatlAßT 15. a masl 1111,11 Hui. • • .bile floc o...wed urdsey, aed la, .11•. I IP , IIIIIVMILY 13. 111, .

That Hon. Gentlemap should have berms, that ell officers in the marines rose by seniority ; and he thought the Hon. Gen tleman seemed disposed to cut up that profession root and branch. The CuANCELLOR of the Excestmit said, the as his Hon. Friend (Sir George Warreader) has stated that the estimates would be ready on Friday next, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume s ) would postpone his motion to that day. It would also tend to the convenience of the House if the. Hon. Member would give notice of these motions, for he had oo wish whatever to withhold any infor mation from the House. Sir G. COCILBUILII remarked, that all the these-- meats of the Hon.

Ling a (motion to the Noble Earl opposite (Liverpool) eclat. fag to the same subject as the Petition ; whether it wu his intention to lay the Estimates before the House whit* 'elat ed to-this subject, and which had bees moved for in the other House of Parliament, and, whoa produced, if it was the intent inn of the Noble Earl to give notice of a 'notion grounded on them ? The'Earl of LIVERPOOL said, be did nut think the pre. sent was a proper time to enter into discussion uu the sub ject, as the only thing before their Lordships was the Peti. Lion from the county of Norfolk. He world have nu 'ike lion to present the Eotiontes on say 'evening which was must eonvenient to their Lordships, but be could nut agree to their being discussed except in a parliamentary way, by notice being given. The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, that before discussion it would be necessary for them to nuderstand what the mea sures were that were intended fur the relief of the country ; and if the Estimates were laid on the table, and if the Noble Earl, or some other aline Noble Colleagues, did nut give notice for their being taken iutu the consideration of their Lord sbipa, be would. The Earl of LIVERPOOL said . , as this was the lest time of the Noble Marquis putting hut question, be wonld not think that it was too much indulgence if lie was to take twenty-four or forty-eight hunts before he gave him • dellui tive answer. Three could be no objection to lay the Esti mates before their Lordships ; but the question was, whether it would be prudent to enteral large into the subject at pre sent, as it was order discussion in the Whet House of Par liament.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Lord SUFFIELD said, he rose fur the purpose of presenting a Petition to their Lordships from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the county of Norfolk. agleed to at • pohlic meeting which was convened 18 hike into consideration the agricultural distress of time country. He could have wished that the Noble Earl (Albessark) who was deputed to 'present the Petition to their Lordships had not been prevented from doing so, as he would have been able to state the real grievances and the suf ferings of the Petitioners much better than he could ; at the same time, be would be wanting in duty if he slid not express his sense of the high honour conferred en him by being intrusted by the Noble Earl with the Petition. It was the first time he had the honour of sitting amongst their Lordships, and be hoped they would give him their indulgence if he occupied more of their time than they might think the presenting of the Peti tion required. It complained of agricultural dis tress, and attributed as the cause of that distress high taxation. It prayed for • reduction of the taxes, retrenchment in the public expenditure, and Parliamentary Reform. The Petitioners at one time were, as agriculturists, great and powerful ; they were now sunk into • state of despondency. He would, perhops, perform his duty better by en tering iuto the general distress of the country than that of a particular county. He was convinced that agvicultural distress was general throughout the whole country ; but there were some classes who did not feel it, as provisions were cheaper ; one class beyond all others did not feel it—his hid jesty's Ministers stud their dependants, for they received their salaries at a fixed ratio.--(Hear, hear.)—The meeting at which the Petition was adapted iras.cialled in a legal and regular wow by the High Sheriff of the county, and it was at tended by the most respectable persons in the county, at least by those who possessed the greater number of acres in it. They first took into their consideration the agricultural distress, and the cause of it, and they came to the opinion that it was caused by over taxation. It was not • party meet ing, for there were persons of both parties there. The two Representatives of the county were pre sent, with their different interests, and theme were persons of no party, stud they all unanimously came to the same conclusion; and it was declared by one of the Members of the county, who gene rally supported the measures of Ministers, that the diminution of the taxes was the only means of relief. He would, if he was allowed, take no tice of the relief proposed in the other House of Parliament, that of taking off of the malt duty Is. on the bushel would not be considered us such, nod the people of the county of Norfolk would express their dissatisfaction at it. As to the relief proposed to he given by advancing a sum of money to different parishes to enable them to pay the poor rates, it wontd be only putting into the bends of an overseer of a parish, what stn men in private life would do, after a young man had expeu d. ed his patrimony to give him another sum to ex pend also, and enable him to follow his extrava gant course of living. Many persons thought it was not in the power of his Moiety's Government to advise a retrenchment in the public expend'. lure, and he agreed with them, and when he said so lie spoke honestly, for he was cotivinced if they made a sweeping reduction, they would lose the in fluence that kept them in office. It was but fair for him to state that at the meeting there were five out of 100 who dissented from the resolution for Parliamentary Reform, but that was not to he won dered at, as it would lie difficult for those who sup ported theyeesent Ministers to vote for it. He ciertaioly was one who would advocate it. It was_ not fair that the charge should be made against those whip advocated the cause of Reform, thin not any two of them in the plan for thew ob ject did agree. Ile, however, could assure their Lordships. however they might disagree us to the specific . reform that was necessary. they elf wished the good work had commenced, let the plan be what it might. lie was not an advocate for tumult, neither was he for tumultuous assemblies, as he thought they did much to hint the rights of the people. The Noble Earl (Albe marle) who had intrusted him with the Petition had directed him to state, that he concurred in every sentiment it expressed.
