The murder and mutilation of Mrs. Brown, by Greenacre, has naturally led many persons in Brighton to a painful comparison between those atrocious deeds and the mur der and dissection of Mrs. Holloway by her husband, about six years ago. A very remarkable circumstance is connected with this latter event. During the time the Coroner's inquest was sitting on the headless and limbless trunk of Mrs. Hollo way, a tinman, living in Union-street, took his wife and sister to see the horrible spectacle which that trunk, shorn of its head and limbs, presented. The females, as may be sup posed, were much horrified at the sight, and especially Miss Hobbs, the tinman's sister, who within a few weeks afterwards was murdered and mutilated in precisely a similar manner ; but, what is still more surprising, although, as we have before observed, above six years have passed away since this diaboli cal act was committed, the perpetrator has hitherto escaped detection, and yet no means have been left untried to discover the sanguinary monster; for not only has the brother (Mr. Hobbs) offered a liberal pecuniary reward, but the Govern ment have also promised 50/., and the King's free pardon to all but the actual murderer. We are induced to revert to' this murder and butchery from time to time, in the hope that, as all direct clue to the trace of the assassin is lost, the keep ing it alive in the public recollection may be a means, under the Divine guidance, to bring to light this hidden crime.— Sussex Advertiser.

On Wednesday week, as Ashtell's Sittingbournc coach was proceeding to Canterbury, in descending Harble down-hill, with six inside passengers and three outside, one of the horses nearly fell, and the coachman, in endeavouring to prevent the accident, suddenly pulled up the reins, which broke short off. The horses, finding they were under no con troul, set off at a most furious rate; two of the outside passen gers and Ashtell leaped from the coach, and,:although they had no bones broken, received very severe bruises. The coach nar rowly escaped running against a cart and barrow the road, and, in going through the St. Dunstan's toll-bar, the off-wheel struck the post, and broke the perch of the carriage ; this slight check made the horses proceed even more furiously, and it appearing almost impossible for the coach to clear the tower of Westgate, Ald. H. Cooper, who was the only out side passenger remaining, descended from the box, and, with great personal risk and presence of mind, got on the pole, and proceeding to the horses' heads, gathered up the broken reins, and by great exertion was enabled to stop them before they ar rived at Westgate, and prevented further accidents.—Kentish Gazette.

' FORBIDDING BANS.—Mr. John --, a rag-mer chant, a denizen of Chelmsford, had often felt certain little thrillings of the heart—for who, if not made of cast-iron, is free from them—when Miss Catherine ---, of Braintree, stood higgling with him in the way of trade, and some how or other he found that she could always wheedle a " farden a pound more" out of him for her shreds and patches than he could afford to give any other lady, either in Braintree or else where. At last his heart found a tongue—explanations took place,—and it was mutually agreed that Catherine, in due course of matrimony, should be transformed into a" Household Kate." Once—twice—had their connubial intentions been proclaimed in the face of the congregation at BraintreeChurch ; but, alas 1 Catherine had decided on throwing off the trouble some restraints of single blessedness without the full consent and approbation of papa; and on Sunday last, the head of the relentless parent was seen in the middle aisle, and his voice was heard pealing forth—" I forbid the bans in this church and all others,"—and the words, like the incantation of a sorcerer, burst the fairy web of matrimonial happiness which his daughter bad had woven, and left he r pl a i n Catherine instead of Mrs. John —. In the vestry he proceeded to prove that his daughter was under 18 years; labouring, moreover, with pa rental solicitude, to pick a hole in the intended bridegroom's coat, and the lovers were compelled to console themselves with the reflection that, as " the course of true love never did run smooth," their affection must, undoubtedly, be the genuine ar, title,—Essex Herald. 110 USE OF COMMONS, MAr 3. • The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. Campbell, from the East India House, appeared at the Bar, and presented papers relative to pensions granted by the East India Company. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. • On the motion of Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR, a new writ was ordered for the election of a Member for the City of Westminster, in the room of Sir Francis Burdett, who since his election for that City, had accepted the Steward ship of the Chiltern Hundreds. Mr. G. EVANS brought up the Report of the Com mittee on the Drogheda Railway Bill. On the motion of Mr. M. PHILLIPS, the Lords' Amendments to the Victoria Park, Manchester, Bill were agreed to.

On the motion of Mr. VIVIAN the Swansea Water Works Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. KIRK brought up the report of the Committee on be Belfast and Lisburn Road Bill. CHURCH-RATES. Mr. D'EYNCOURT presented a petition for the aboli tion of Chuich-rates, from the electors and inhabitant house holders of the borough of Lambeth, agreed to at a very nu merous meeting, assembled after the utmost publicity, and open to all parties. It was signed by 5,700 persons, and stated in substance that, considering the great extent and value of Church property, they deemed it unjust to call on any of his Majesty's subjects, but especially on Dissenters, to support the Establishment. There were three Churches in the district, accommodating 5,040 persons, supported by Church-rates ; whereas there were 51 Dissenters' chapels and 18 Episcopal chapgls (in all 69 chapels), accommodat ing 56,240 persons, by means of voluntary contributions ; and yet these parties bad also to pay for the other favoured 5,040, who had the benefit of Church-rates. The petitioners concluded by strongly recommending the measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers. The HoN, MEMBER then presented a petition from the inhabitants of the parish of Tealby, in the county of Lin coln, praying for the abolition of Church-rates ; also a peti tion from a congregation of Protestant Dissenters assem bling at Denmark Chapel, in the parish of Camberwell, Surrey, for the same object, and approving of the measure proposed by his Majesty's Ministers. Col. GORE LANGTON presented a petition signed by 1,840 inhabitants of a pariskin the county of Somerset praying the House to pass the Government measure for abolition of Church Rates entire. Sir JOHN JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the town of Scarborough praying for the better observ ance of the Sabbath. Mr. TOOKE presented a petition numerously and re spectably signed, by the Ministers and Congregations of Wesleyan Methodists in Truro, praying the House to pass a law for the better observance of the Sabbath. Captain BERKELEY presented a petition from Glou cester, praying for the abolition of the punishment of death for all crimes except that of murder. Sir G. CREWE presented seven petitions against the abolition of Church-rates. Lord EASTNOR presented a petition from the parish of Hullstone, in the county of Hereford, against the aboli tion of Church-rates. Lord HENNIKER presented several petitions from Suffolk against the Abolition of Church-rates. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented petitions from dif ferent parishes in Kent and Sussex, against the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. The Right Ho nourable Baronet also presented two petitions from Unions in Kent, praying the House to pass a measure by which the payment of the poor-rates on tenements under a certain value might be charged upon the owner and not the occupier. He trusted this subject would come under the consideration of the House in the course of the present session, and he begged to give notice that unless some proposition emanated from the Poor Law Commissioners upon the subject, which he trusted would be the case, he . should himself pall the attention of the House to it after the holidays. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the Vestry of St. James, Westminster, praying for the repeal of the win dow tax. The Hon. Member also presented a petition against Church-rates from Highgate ; also a petition from West minster, praying for an equal distribution of the land-tax. Mr. C. LUS HINGTON presented a petition from a parish in the county of Derby, in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. The petition was signed by every rate-payer in the parish except the clergy man, and it originated with the members of the Established Church, who had solicited the Dissenters to sign it. Mr. W.ILKS presented a petition from an individual who had for many years held the situation of Master of a Workhouse in Middlesex, stating that he had been discharged under the New Poor-law Act, and praying the House to make some provision for persons in similar circumstances. The Hon. Member then presented petitions from Devon shire-square Chapel, Bishopsgate-street, and Spencer-place Chapel, Middlesex, in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). Mr. SHARMAN CRA WFORD presented a petition from an individual who complained ,of having been un justly dismissed from his situation by the Board of Commissioners of Education in Ireland, and ,praying that he might be heard before the House on this and other matters connected with the Education Commission. He proposed th at t h e pet i t i on s h ou ld b e re f erre d to t h e Com mittee then sitting on the plan of National Education for Ireland. Mr. VERNON SMITH said the Committee was in quiring into the progress and operation of the plan of Na tional Education in Ireland, and he did not know whether the House would think that a►i individual grievance ought to be referred to that Committee. The petition was, however, as we understood, referred to the Committee. Captain VVEMYSS presented several petitions froth Dis senting Congregations in favour of the Ministerial Church rate plan. M. LOWTHER presented a petition from the city of York, in favour of the better observance of the Sabbath. Sir E. CODRINGTON presented a petition from 401 seamen of North Shields, praying for the appointment of a Select Committee to investigate the grievances under which they laboured. They referred particularly to the circum stance of the quantity and quality of provisions allowed them while at sea, and also to the fact of their being denied their wages in the event of the vessel not obtaining a freight. There was no class of men worse treated than the British seamen, and he trusted these complaints would be inquired into. Mr. METHUEN presented nine petitions from parishes in North Wilts in favour of the Government plan for the abolition of Church-rates, and one for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. CHICHESTER presented a number of petitions from pl aces i n t h e cou n ty o f Radnor, in fav o u r o f th e abo lition of Ch urch - rates. Mr. WALLACE bad a petition of a very extraordinary kind to present—the nature of whidh he would not then enter into, as he intended to call the attention of the House to it specifically on a future occasion. In passing, he would only remark, that the petition contained six yards of grievances, and threeyards of signatures, affirming those grievances. It was fram the inhabitants of, Havre-de-Grace, Conception bay, in Newfoundland. He thought the.time was come when it vvas the bounden duty of the House to afford relief to the Colonies. Ile would move that the petition be printed with the votes, and he gave notice tl'at he weru'd call the attention of the House to the subject on Tuesday next. The Hon. Member then presented a petition from the inhabitants of Dunbar, praying for a reduction in the rates of postage ; one from the Chamber of Commerce of Greenock, praying for a reduction of the duty on marine insurances ; one from the Writers of Glasgow, complaining of the attorney tax ; one from persons inCardiff, complaining of the privileges granted by the Post-office to a publication called the Shipping List, and praying that another publication of the same nature, might be put upon the same footing ; and two from the merchants, bankers, &c. of Greenock, against the Commercial Steam Navigation Bill, and the Colonial Steam Navigation Bill. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the cotton-spinners of Glasgow, praying for the abolition of the duty on raw cotton. Mr. W. STANLEY presented several petitions from different parishes in Wales, in favour of Sir Andrew Ag new's Sunday Bill. Sir W. FOULKES presented several petitions from different parts of Norfolk in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rtes. Mr. HARDY presented several petitions from Bradford and its neighbourhood, against the abolition of Church-rates. A great number of petitions were presented in favour of the Ministerial plan for the abolition of Church-rates. Mr. VERNON SMITH presented a petition agreed to at a public meeting at Northampton, and signed by the Mayor, in favour of the Ministerial measure respecting Church-rates. This meeting had been culled in consequence of a meeting previously held there against the abolition of Church-rates.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. CARTWRIGHT said that those who had at tended the meeting from which he bad presented a petition the other day were individuals who never meddled - with . politics.—(Hear, hear.) That petition was signed by 1,300 gentlemen who were resident in Northampton, whereas the petition which had just been presented, had the signature only of the Mayor. Mr - . VERNON SMITH held in his hand a ticket by which persons were admitted to the meeting alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman opposite, and which had these words upon it—" N. B. The person using this ticket de clares he approves of the object of the meeting, and consents to be governed in all cases by the decision of the Chairman."—(Loud cheers.) He was surprised to hear the Hon. Member say that that was the largest public meeting ever held in Northamptonshire ; and when the Hon. Member recollected the difficulty they experienced in procuring a Chairman, they being obliged to send for the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, it would be seen at once how erroneous such a statement was. He denied, also, that the great bulk of the property of the county had been represented at that meeting. Mr. CART WRIGHT did not mean to state that the meeting was the largest in point of numbers, but in point of respectability.—(oh !) Mr. HUME would be glad to know what the Hon. Member's definition of respectability was. He looked upon one man to be as respectable as another, if he honestly dis charged his duty to society, and did not pocket any of the public money.—( Hear, and laughter.) He suspected there were a great many public pensioners at that meeting. Mr. HARDY presented a petition from Bradford, on the subject of the new Poor-laws.—Referred to the Com mittee. Mr. WARD presented a petition from St. Paul's, Covent-garden, in favour of the Metropolis Improvement Bill. The Hon. Member at the same time gave notice that, on going into Committee on the Irish Poor Law Bill, it was his intention to move a resolution on the sub ject of emigration. Mr. MILES presented petitions from places in Somer set, in favour of Sir A. Agnew's Sabbath-day Bill ; for the abolition of the Duty on Soap ; and a reduction of the Four-and-a-half per cent. paid by the sugar colonies. E WART presented a petition from Liverpool in favour of Household Suffrage. An Hon. MEMBER presented a petition from Gosford, in favour of a reduction of the duty on Fire Insurances. Mr. WA SON presented a petition from the Radical As sociation of Stockport, praying for a repeal of the Septen nial Act. Mr.WAKLEYpresented a petition from the inhabitants of Holborn, in favour of the Metropolis Improvement Bill. Mr. HUME presented a petition from Newfoundland, complaining of grievances and the conduct of the Go vernment of that colony.—(The petition was ordered to be printed with the votes, and taken into consideration on Tuesday.) The Hon. Member also presented petitions from Sir R. Sidney, on the subject of fees charged in Com mittees on controverted elections ; from Leicester, in fa vour of household suffrage ; from certain mariners in fa vour of the Shipping Gazette, and against the Post-office monopoly ; from Stirling, against the attorney tax ; from the sextons in parishes in London, praying for compensa tion in case the general Cemetery Bills should be passed ; and from the Radical Association of Edinburgh against the Pension List, or persons whom he (Mr. Hume) did not consider respectable, because they partook of the public plunder.—(A laugh.) Mr. A. TREVOR wished to know if the petition pre sented by the Hon. Member contained any such state ment as that the persons named in the Pension List were not respectable ? Mr. HUME replied that he had given his own inter pretation. He did not consider that those who received public plunder were respectable. Mr. A. TREVOR—That is not an answer to my question. The SPEAKER submitted to the Hon. Gentleman's discretion whether he would persevere in putting such a question ? Mr. HU ME said he had no objection to answer it. The expression he had used was his own, and not that of the petitioners. Mr. ROBf NSON observed that as the Hon. Member for Middlesex had presented a petition, charging the Go vernment of Newfoundland with improper conduct, he (Mr. Robinson) thought it right to say that lie was satis tied on investigation it would be found that these charges were unfounded. Mr. HUME observed that the petition which he had presented charged improper conduct against the Colonial officers as well as the Government of Newfoundland. Mr. T. DU NCOM BE presented a petition from Fins bury, praying for an equalization of the land tax. Sir C. Y. BULLER presented several petitions from Devonshire in favour of Sir A. Agnew's Sabbath Day Bill. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a petition from Mr. Richard ,Gaythorne Butt, stating that he had, in 1814, been convicted of a conspiracy with Admiral Cochrane, .and fined 1,0001., and praying that the same favour which had been shown to the Earl of Dundonald should be ex tended to him. Col. THOMPSON presented a petition numerously signed by a body of the working classes assembled at Gray's Inn-lane, complaining of the little time that was applied to the consideration of petitions in that House. Mr. CLAY gave notice that on Monday next he should present a petition, very numerously signed, from the Shet land Islands, praying for the repeal of the corn laws.. The Earl of LINCOLN, Viscount CASTLEREAGII, and several other Members, presented petitions against the Church-rates Bill from Nottingham, and various other places. RELATIONS WITH PORTUGAL. Mr. ROBINSON gave notice, that on Friday next be should ask some questions respecting our relations with Portugal. CHURCH-RATES. Mr. A. TREVOR wished to know from the Noble Lord opposite, if it was his determination that the Church rates Bill should be brought forward on the 22d of May ; or, if not, whether the Government really intended to bring it in at all during the present Session ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Church-rates Bill would certainly be brought under the consideration of the House on the i).2el of May. TITHES (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. BERNAL having brought up the Report on the Irish Tithes Bill, Mr. CRAWFORD rose to •bring forward an amend ment of which he had riven notice ; but, after a short con versation, the motion for receiving the, Repert was post poned until Friday next, when Mr. Crawford expressed his determination to propose his amendment, and to take the sense of the House upon it. Mr. A. TREVOR - moved, according to notice, that on ev:ry Wednesday in future during the Session, public peti-' tions should have precedence of all other business after the Speaker should take the Chair ; but after a few observa tions from Lord J. RUSSELL, objecting to such an arrangement, the Hon. Niember withdrew his motion. PUBLIC RECORDS BILL. Mr. C. BULLER, after some observations explanatory of the objects of the measure, moved the second reading of the Public Records Bill. Lord J. RUSSELL said he approved of many parts of 7 -- a7e this atThnheye pr ß epr fi i ren l i l nrt , eicn a ni gp n c a d etliti v i ooe , b a jfr s ocei dl rec mot reodrfs t cai h ot at distinctnlvt ra i o t had svteor be snimel make matter art e i r, t oe r a, o n il ota u hnt c lag ed it es arrangement eu . r i nbt for thei custody. He approved also of the provision for having the whole deposited in one place. There was - a clause, however, for the immediate appointment of a keeper under the Mas ter of the Rolls, to which he should object till further inquiry was made into the subject, and until a place was provided, where all the rem& might be brought together. It was desirably that all these records should be under the custody of some high official authority, and for this purpose he be lieved the Master of the Rolls was the most proper. The Judges, at the same time, would be left their ancient privilege of superintendence, and this was provided for in the Bill. They would, however, have no greater privilege in this re spect than was extended to the rest of his Majesty's sub jects, any one of whom would be at liberty to make repre sentation* to the Lords of the Treasury if they saw any ground for complaint. Though the Master of the Rolls would be the legal custos, the House must see that it would be necessary to have acting under him, and for whose con duct he would be responsible, some individual to perform the daily duties necessary. As to compensation to the present officers connected with the Record Department, that was a matter which must become the subject of future inquiry and consideration. ie• Sir F. TRENCH entered into a defence of the Record Commissioners, who, he said, had been most unfairly es persed. But their names were a sufficient defence of their character. The Hon. and Gallant Member made some further observations, but they were not audible. Sir R. INGLIS said it would be necessary to clean and to arrange the records before placing them together in one building. With respect to the charge now made for con sulting or making extracts from the records, he could not see that it was more inconsistent with principle than the stamp duty which solicitors were obliged to pay. Sir R. PEEL thought the preferable course would be to wait till a place was provided for receiving the whole of the records. The Master of the Rolls was certainly the most proper person to fill the situation of keeper of these records. A question had been raised as to the best place of depost, whether in London or in Westminster. An idea had been thrown out that some part of the new Houses of Parlia ment, which it was proposed to erect, might be set apart as a depository for the public records, and he was desirous to know what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would say in reference to this. The estimates for the new Houses of Parliament were, lie understood, all prepereed. Was there anj intention of carryinc , into effect that part of Mr. Barry's plan, for the erection of a round tower, to serve as a place of custody for the records ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Government had hitherto abstained from giving to the House any intimation of the steps they might feel disposed to take in this matter. They waited in expectation that some Hon. Member would either give a notice on the sub ject, or at least would throw out some observations upon it. The intention of Government was, in the course of the pre sent Session, to move for a vote of credit, preparatory to commencing the erection of the new Houses of Parlia ment.—(Hear.) They meant to make further inquiry as to the fitness of the tower, in Mr. Barry's plan, to serve as a place of deposit for the records. Opinions of competent judges had been pronounced highly favourable to it, and it was believed that, when erected., the tower would be sufficiently spacious to contain the whole of the records. Some communication had been had with the Master of the Rolls as to the most eligible place of deposit, but the idea of building the proposed tower was net then entertained. If persevered in, the effect would be, at the same time, to complete the most beautiful part of Mr. Barry's design, and to preserve a place of accommodation for the public records. It seemed to be the general wish to preserve this part of the plan. Sir R. PEEL said he would offer no opinion whether or not it would be desirable to apply the proposed tower to such a purpose. This point, however, ought to be decided upon before the Government submitted to Parliament the proposition intimated by the Right Honourable Gentleman. It should be well considered whether a building in the form of a tower would be the most convenient, or would be well adapted for the purpose of keeping the records. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the best course would be to lay upon the table such com munications as had been made to the Government upon the subject. The House would then be enabled to form a more correct opinion. Mr. HUME thought that for the purpose of security against fire it would be better to place the records iu a se parate building. Sir R. PEEL and Mr. HUME explained. Mr. W. WYNN was glad this motion had not been mixed up with former controversies. All agreed that it was fit to make some provision for the safe custody of the records; but this Bill was premature, and would come time enough when a building was provided. He should be glad if the proposed towetewould supply sufficient and conve nient accommodation. The most fit person to be keeper was the Master of the Rolls. So far back as the time of Edward 1., the situation was filled by that officer. It would, perhaps, be the more convenient course to prepare and arrange the records in their present depositories before sending them to the general place of reception. As to_ fees, he agreed with his Hon. Friend that they were no more a question of principle than the Stamp duties. After what had fallen from the Noble Lord (T. Russell) with respect to his intention of hereafter prop rising some additional clauses to the Bill, he did not feel, disposed to give any opposition to its being read a second time. After a desultory discussion,in which Mr. Wilks, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Jervis, aod Dr. 13owring, took a part, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Wednesday the 31st inst. MANUFACTURE OF FOREIGN GRAIN. The Order Of the Day having been read for resuming the adjourned debate on the motion for the House going into Committee to consider the expediency of allowing foreign grain to be manufactured in this country for exportation, Mr. ROBINSON made a few observations in support of the motion, than which, he said, there had not been one brought before Parliament within his recollection that was less liable to objection. The effect of opposition to it would be to bring the Corn-laws more and more into disrepute, and finally to lead to their total abrogation. Mr. P. THOMSON said he had no objection to the proposed Committee, but till the Hon. Gentleman's con templated Resolution was before there, he could not say whether it was objectionable or not. If, upon examination, he considered the plan of the Hon. Gentleman practicable and likely to be beneficial, it should have his support ; if, on the contrary, he found - it to be liable to objections, of course lie should state what his objections were. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had been called on by some very influential individuals in Ireland to support the mo tion for the Committee, and also to support any measure that might be introduced to allow of the grinding of foreign corn in this country and in Ireland. A few years ago Ire land exported corn almost exclusively—that was to say, grain without being ground. One of the most successful of the manufactures that had been established in Ireland was the manufacture of grain of home growth, and the millers of that country now sent out flour, and supplied oatmeal, to a great extent ; mill power, too, might be increased in be hold aHuost to an infinite; degree. It would therefore con form 1-cat benefit on that country to a:.low them to grind foreign grain, and take the miller's profit en it. He hoped that under these circumstance the House would feel the expediency of encouraging that branch of inciestry in Ire land. Sir .T. TYRELL, after remarking that he thought the Hon. Member for Worcester had spoken with undue se verity of the agricultural interests, proceeded to state that sniuggline in malt was carried on to a great extent in Ire land.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Ile believed that gentlemen who drank (IcinnesS's stout were not perhaps aware of the manner in wlech brewers in that country got their malt.—( Hear, hear.) Ile had it as an undoubted fact, that brewers went into tl,e market, and too often asked no questions as to whether the duty upon it was paid or not. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought the proper mode of answering all the objections thrown out upon this subject would be to go into Committee. He was sure that his excellent friend Mr. Guinness ought to feel extremely obliged to the Honourable :Welber opposite for the puff he had given him of his pertcr ; but at the same time he thought it due to that gentleman to lo all in his power to remove from him the imputation which the Hon. Member's observations seemed to c onvey. Whilst he (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) could not deny that frauds upon the revenue were carried on to a considerable extent in Ireland, he thought he could assert that it was not on the part nt smaller il o e f r edsetaalbelrestablishmentss country.s inn the like that of j fact,n r. Guinness, Mr. one of the deputation who waited upon h im some time back on this very subject. Sir J. TYRRELL explained that he clic; not mean to cast any personal imputation against Mr. Guinness in this Guinness but u n t e by washe matter, whom he did not know from Adam. Mr. HEATHCOTE was opposed to the proposition of the Honourable Member for Worcester, as one likely to increase the frauds and evasions which were already carried on against the revenue by means of the bonded system. He thought that before the Hon. Member asked the House to agree to his motion, he should be a little more clear in his statement of his intentions on the subject. Sir C. B. VERE thought it best to have the Corn-laws as they were : they had worked as well as any laws 9f the kind could be expected to do. He was therefore opposed to the present motion, as the first step towards that repeal or alteration of those laws, but as he did not see any like I hood of successfully opposing it he should not go to a division. He only hoped that if the House did anything in the matter they would use necessary caution to } r !vent frauds upon the revenue, or injury to the agriculturist.
