Tissot, Solomon, Jordan, Goss, and others. By WILLIAM HENRY CASTLE, Surgeon. Illustrated with Cases. This little work is not only distinguished but contra-distin guished from all others which have preceded it, its pages being exclusively devoted to the curative department, and hence it may be justly hailed as a great national desideratum. It con tains above one hundred choice recipes, adapted to various stages of the complaint, which is divided into three distinct heads and progressive stages of treatment, viz.: -Ist, The oleansing, or detergent ; 2dly, The strengthening, or tonic ; and lastly, The alterative, or purifying. Into these three grand divisions, theory suggested, and long experience has demon grated, the curative plan ought and must be divided. The treatment of this disease has, for obvious reasons, been hitherto confined to same cordial balm, occult tincture, or talis manic drops, which act merely as a dram—a temporary •stimu lus, procured at the expense of the patient's future welfare. The invalid suffering under mental depression and decay; impotence, and a host of peculiar and inveterate infirmities, comprehended under nervous debility, will find this Pocket Manual written expressly for his use, and adapted to his va rious wants.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this popular work has received, and which the limits of an adver tisement will only allow of being published : The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature, and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that them entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. ---Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy? &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too far in' saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly mot al a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at Country Patient s their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which, no notiee wnateyer can be t a k en o f their application ; and in all cases the moat inviolable norm may be relied on.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITU TION, REGENT-STREET. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. read from the instructions of the Attorney-General—an instruction given by Mr. Webster—answered at once two, and perhaps more, of the questions of the Honourable Member, because it showed that the British Go vernment had avowed their entire responsibility of the attack made upon the Caroline, and that the American Government considered that question as one to be dealt with between the two Governments, and to tally unconnected in any way whatever with the ques tion how Mr. M‘Leod, was to be dealt with. This in struction was dated the 15th March in the present year, from Mr. Webster to W. Crittenden, the Attorney- General of the United States, who was proceeding • to New York on business connected with the States. Ile recited, in the first place, that which had passed, why : Mr. M'Leod had been arrested, and on t he what ground, an d i t t h en said—" I have now to inform 1. you-that (ate Mr. 12th i o i x has addressed i dd i r i ess w e i t i l ic a h, let u te n r de to r M ti r i . e ßai•clay, imme diate instruction and direction of his Government, 1 he demands Mr. M'Leod's immediate release, on the ground that the transaction on account ofwhich he has been arrested, and is now to be put on his trial, was of a public character, planned and executed by persons duly empowered by her Majesty's colonial authorities. to take any steps, and to do any acts, which might be necessary for the protection of her Majesty's Canadas, and the defence of her Majesty's subjects ; and that, consequently, those subjects of her Majesty who had been engaged in that transaction, were performing an act of public duty, for which they cannot be made, personally and individually, answerable to the laws and tribunals of any foreign country.—(Hear.) And that her Majesty's Government had further directed Mr. Fox to make known to the Government of the United States that her Majesty's Government entirely approved of the course pur sued by Mr. Fox, and the :at language adopted by him in his correspondence. Mr. 'Webster went on to say, " Ther e is, therefore, now an authentic declaration, on the part of the British Government, that the attack upon the Caroline was an act of public force done by military men, acting under the orde rs o f supe riors, and recognized us such by the Queen's Ministers. The importance of this declaration was not to be ques tioned, and the present President is of opinion that it calls upon him, in the performance of his high duty, to state that the individual acting under the authority of his Government, as part of a public force, is not to be held as a private trespasser or malefactor, and that that is a principle sanctioned by the usages of all civilized nations, and whiCh the Government of the United States has no inclination to dis pute.— (Hear, hear.) This has no connection whatever with the question of whether in this case the attack on the Caroline was, as the British Govern ment thinks it was, a justifiable employment of. military force for the purpose of defending British territory from an unprovoked attack; or whether it was a most unjustifiable invasion of its territories in time of peace as this Government asserts., The two questions are essentially different, and wl.fjl e acknowledging that an individual may stand exe-,npted from the consequences of his act, by showily, that he acted under competent authority, this G°.;ernment is not to be understood as changing its opinion with regard to the character of the transaction which resulted in the destruction oc. the Caroline. That subject it is not necessary, for ':he objects of this corre spondence, to discuss. All,':hat is intended to be said at present is, that sine", "; the attack of the Caroline is viewed as a national act, which may justify reprisals or a general war. as the United States Government may seem fit , t.',. decide, yet it raises a question entirely public and pe'.itical—a question between independent na tions—and., that the individual concerned in it cannot be arrest‘',l and tried before the ordinary tribunals as for a viotttion of municipal law. If the attack on the Caroline 'was unjustifiable, as this Government has asserted, the law violated is the law of nations, and the redress to be sought is the redress authorized in such cases by that code. You are well aware that the Presi dent has no power to resist the proceedings in the civil Courts of New York. If this was an indictment in one of the Courts of the United States, I am directed to say that the President, on th e rece ipt o f Mr. Fox's last com munication to Mr. Forsyth, would have directed a nolle prosequi to be entered."—(Cheers.) Nothing,. in his opinion, could be more honourable to the Govern ment of the United States, or more satisfactory to the British Government, than that public declaration. , Ho thought that he had now answered all the questions of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman except one, which was, whether the Government of the United States made their demands as for an injury done to the United States, or the State of New York alone. Unquestionably the demand was, from the first, placed upon the , ground of an injury done to the United States— (Hear)—and in the last Session of Parliament, when he (Lord Palmerston) had a few words to say upon this subject, he stated that it was therefore impossible for the United States to turn round and deny redress on the ground that this was a question between Great Britain and the State of New York.—(Hear, hear.) It was true that the 0 91 1 Yilastates and foreign row- ' U 1 "111 t ire ; ' - hands of the Federal Government. The constitution said that " No State shall enter into any treaty with foreign Powers, nor make war, nor other things " without the consent of Congress. No State, without the consent of Congress, shall keep an army or ships of war in time of peace, or do any act of war, except in case of imminent danger."—(Hear, hear.) It was perfectly true that this question could no more be said to be between Great Britain and the State of New- York, than, if America had felt herself aggrieved by Great Britain, it could - be said that the question was between America and the county of Rutland.—(Hear.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had said that in the outset of the affair the Government of Great Britain ought to have sent a special envoy to the state of New York. But that would . be, in fact, a nullification or denial of the constitution of the United States—(Hear, hear)—and the latter would be entitled to resent it as an affront.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Palmerston) would not enter now into any statement or speculation as to what was to come.—(Hear, hear.) He would not anticipate what step the United States would take to carry out those principles of international law which Federal Governments had so handsOmely recognized.—(Cheers.)

Also a petition from Smed way, complaining of distress, and praying the House to address her Majesty, begging of her to call men of Radical principles to her Councils. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from two working men at Nor wich, complaining of certain proceedings at the last elec tion for that city, and praying the House to institute an inquiry into the malpractices of which the petitioners complained, and to give them such redress as it should think proper. Mr. W. MILES presented a number of petitions from the County of Somerset against a low fixed duty upon corn.

CASE OF MR. M'LEOD. Mr. ROEBUCK rose and said, that seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign. Affairs - in his place, he would with the permission of the House proceed to ask the Noble Lord certain questions, of which he had given notice on the first night of the Session respecting .the present relations between this country and America with respect to the detention of Mr. M'Lcocl. He had stated, when he had given the notice, that it would be necessary for him to make a few remarks that the Hoose might understand the questions which he was about to put. His object in putting - these questions was as far as possible to promote peace, and to obtain that end he would suggest that before they came to any conclusion llon. Members should understand the ques tion of our relations with the United States. The question, or rather questions he was about to put were five in number, and related entirely to the detention of Mr. M'Leod. That detention arose - out of transactions connected with the steam-boat Caroline, an attack upon which on the United States territory had g_ivr. n great umbrage not only to the State of s ew York but the United States generally. Therefor', onap plication was made to the Government of. tli; country, to which no answer was returned. It so Lappend that, in. the meantime, Mr. M'Lcod, one. of those persons who was suspected of taking part in the attack, from ,his own boastful, but as he (Mr. Roebuck) believed, erroneous statement respecting it, happened to be in the State of New York, and was arrested in con sequence of the belief so created. When he was arrested, a feeling in this country arose respecting it, and orders were sent out to Mr. Fox, our Ambassador, to make application to the Government of the United States de manding the liberation of Mr. M'Leod, and, there upon, an answer was made by Mr. Forsyth, the American Secretary for Foreign Affairs. To• that answer he requested the attention of the House. It should always be recollected that the demand was made by Mr. Fox before an answer was made by the Noble Lord respecting the Caroline. Mr. Forsyth's answer was that they had no jurisdiction whatever in the matter then spoken of it N:as a matter wholly within thq jurisdiction of the State of New York, and therefore the President of the United States could give fie answer nor -ittlt*fiCkr.Lfre tll.9u 'Ala - that the President had no feeling in the matter that would ind u ce hi m t o interfere if he had the power. Mr. Forsyth shortly after went out of office, and then came in a new Government, the new Secretary of Foreign AflUirs being Mr. Webster. Now, what he wanted to know of the Noble Lord was, first, whether there had been any change in the lan guage of the United States Government since the ac cession of a new Government to power ? It should always be recollected, and this should have been the an swer given to Mr. Fox, that on, the establishment of Government in the United States they had declared they considered themselves amenable to the international law established among civilized nations in Europe. The sole medium of communication with other nations was through the Federal Government by means of the President and the people of the United States had no more notion of New York as an independent state than the people of England had of the county of Rutland being so. Such, he conceived, ought to have been the answer made to Mr. Forsyth when lie claimed for New York authority over a British subject. However, ho (Mr. Roebuck) wanted now to ascertain those facts. He had written them down, and he would put them into the Noble Lord's hands in a written form, that he might not mis take the nature of the questions. First, he wished to know whether her Majesty's Government by any formal declaration had assumed all the responsibility of the attack on the Caroline ? and then lie wanted to know whether the Government of the United States had ad mitted that responsibility, and demanded reparation for the outrage and injury thus done to the United States, because it should be always recollected that, if they demanded reparation for the injury done 'to the• United States by that attack, it did not lie with them to turn round and say, that Nev York was the only power that had • jurisdiction in that matter ? Next, he wished to ask whether her Ma jesty's Government had stated to the Government of the United States in the case of M'Leod that he had acted under the commands of superior officers with the express sanction of her Majesty ? Fourthly, he wanted to ask whether her Majesty's Go vernment had demanded of the Government of the United States whether after such declaration it was able, and at the same time willing, to guarantee the safety and liberation of Mr. M'Leod, notwithstanding any determination of the State of New York to go on with the proceed ings now pending in the Courts of that State against that gentleman ? and, lastly, he should ask if the Government of the United States admitted the validity, of such authority as a protection over M'Leod ? and if having so admitted it, if the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs could state any circumstance which justified the continued detention of Mr. M'Leod by the authority of the State of New York ? He thought it would turn out that things had been stated which would ease the minds of the people of this country . with respect to this subject, and it was with that object in view that he proposed the above question. Lord PALMERSTON said that he would be the last man in that House in any way to curtail whatever in formation he might •be able to give on any subject. However, he felt himself bound to remark, that the proceedings on the part of the Hon. Member who had just sat down, were some what irregular. He was sure the House would say, that if questions upon an emergency of great difficulty were preceded by a sort of Two-thirds of Profits divided annually amongst the Assured.

Copy of a Letter from the late Henry Cowper, Esq., of Tewen.waters, Herts., to Mr. W. F. France, who is re siding at 22, Spring.gardens. "Tewen-waters, Herts., March 21, 1840.

Petitions were presented against the returns for the town of Belfast and the borough of Lewes. The peti tions were ordered to lie upon the table. THE ADJOURNED DEBATE. The Order of the Day having been read for resuming the Adjourned Debate, Lord SANDON rose and said, that he did not rise for the purpose of entering, at least at any length, into those questions of -economical policy which form so large and prominent a portion of the Speech put into the mouth of her Majesty, and a still larger and mere prominent portion of the speeches of those who bad preceded him in the debate. He did not think that, in following such a course he should be doing that which was the natural result of the course of eveet s passing around them, or that he should he doing that which would meet the expectations of those constituents which had sent them to that T:iouse. However convenient it might be within the walls of that House, or elsewhere, to represent the struggle which had just been concluded as a struggle between monopoly and anti-monopoly—to state that there was no other question at issue than whether or not the measures brought forward by her Majesty's Go vernment under the shape and disguise of the Budget were indeed approved of by the people of this coun try—however convenient it might be to certain parties to put the question in that shape • yet such was not the question which had in effect been tried before the - country, and such was not the question on which they had been commanded to decide. He said boldly that it was not the question which the Government themselves had intended to put, because the late dissolution had not taken place upon the question of the sugar duties, or the corn duties, or the timber duties. With regard to the corn and timber duties, neither the one nor the other had been brought under the consideration of the House of Commons, and they could never have given a justifica tion for the late dissolution. With regard to the ques tion of sugar, he could not conceive that upon that question or the time or degree in which the pretection now afforded to the colonial in terests might be affected, her Majesty's Govern ment were at all entitled to call for the assertion of the feelings of the people by convening the Parliament. The real question which had compelled her Majesty's Go vernment to appeal to the sense ofthe people was this—that the last House of Commons did clearly and distinctly vote their want of confidence in the Ministry, and that was the real question upon which the country had to decide.—(Hear, from the Opposition benches.) That was the admitted cause which drove her Majesty's Ministers to try the desperate chance of a dissolution. If the ques tion simply related to particular measures, the Govern ment had already had experience enough the year before, and during the earlier part of the Session, which would give them an excuse for trying a dissolution, if they thought it would serve their pur poses. But it was not until they had devised new expe dients for the purpose of diverting public attention from the great question of their administrative policy, which had produced so deep an impression on the public mind. It was not until that House had expressed by its `' -4 .--'lnae•ement of affairs, fore, thought that was the questionti.._J on. there had to answer ; and he could say •,, - nin tisen, He. r intr-ene question upon which he had appealed to his own constituents, was 'not simply whether the sugar of the Brazils should be admitted at one time or another, subject to one form or another of competition. Ile could assure them that lie did not appeal to his con stituents as to the particular mode of protec tion which should be aftbrded to domestic agri culture (Cheers) he did not appeal to them as to the protection to be given to colonial timber or the mode of that protection—but the great question which he submitted to his constituents was, whether or not the country had confidence in theadministration of affairs bylier Majesty's Ministers, and whether, even if they agreed in certain . points of the commercial policy, they were pre pared, in consequence of that agreement, to give their condonation for the past, and fresh licence for the future. He had stated to them what he had stated to that House, that if they agreed, which they did not, on any one of those questions, they were not to be induced by agreement on these points to sa crifice those greater interests which were involved in the question whether they should have one Adminis tration or the other. He had told them—and he begged the House to remember—that feelings had been excited within the country and the House by the con duct of Ministers ; on other points, on questions of still higher importance, he had appealed to them, whether they approved of their Irish Administration, of their measures respecting the Church, with regard to education, with regard to the distribution of patronage, and of magisterial offices and honours, and on all these questions, affecting more deeply the interests of men than whether the mode of protection should be that of a fixed duty or a sliding scale, or whether Bri tish sugar and colonial timber should be admitted at one rat or another—on muoh greater questions than these did he appeal to his constituents, and he received not only a verdict but the highest expressions of ap probation.—(Cheers.) These were the grounds on which the great majority of the Conservative party had been returned to the House. The constituencies had despised the bait held out the tub thrown to the whale—and would not permit the real issue to be withdrawn, and a feigned one sub stituted in its place. (Loud cheers.) The real question at issue between the proposition of her Majesty's Government and the Conservatives, was not the question of free trade one way or the other. Between the language of the Government and their proposition there was a wide difference. Their language was that of free trade, but they had heard of little professions in any part of the em pire of adherence to the specific proposition of the Government. The question was, so far as it was a commercial question, whether there should be protection to commercial industry or n o t. The particular degree was not the question submitted to the constituencies of England.--(gear.) The question had been distinctly put before them,inteis'llsilafvoer you such confidence in her Majesty's m the future as to be willing to entrust them with the further administration of this country;" and whether men agreed with the Government degree of protection, or whether they differed, he believed the constituences of England had been governed by this great consideration, an d it was to this, their determination, the House ' was called upon to give effect, otherwise they would betray the principles they had professed and the interests which had been confided to them.—(Hear, hear.) With these views, he thought they were called on not to go into detail on any of thosequestions that were submitted to them i n the Queen's Speech, but to q carry , into effect th e verdict which the consti tuencies of England have returned.—(Hear, hear.) These were the short and simple gr ounds on which he gave his support to the amen d men t. It was not that he was indifferent to the question which been introduced into the discussion it was not that he was indifferent to the sufferings of the popu lation of this country, or blind to the distress under which it was now labouring in the commercial and ma nufacturing districts—but it was that he thought the management of questions like those would be more safely trusted to other hands than those of the present Government. He believed that whenever the questions at issue had been put fairly before the con stituencies, the feeling which had been expressed was that they were neither satisfied with the details of the proposed measures no 2 with the principles uroa which those measures were founded. He did not mean to say that in sending him to Parliament the con stituency which he had the honour to represent had declared that they preferred a sliding scale to a fixed duty on corn ; but he believed that they had distinctly stated that they were in favour of protection. He had not the least intention of entering, on that occa sion, into a discussion of the Corn-laws, because b'e thought it was impossible, at that period, to &I to with advantage ; but he would repeat then, what he had be fore stated, both in that House and elsewhere, that, with regard to the principle of the sliding Beale, he was not only ready, but anxious to see it maturely consi dered, with a view to the removal of those evils which undoubtedly arose at present, and he believed that not only the commercial, but the agricultural classes also, were prepared for the fullest discussion. He would not follow up all the topics brought under consideration in the discussion on the Budget last Session, but he would say, that that discussion had naturally led him to look a little into the question of sugar duties, and be saw no ireason for that despondency whi c h seeme d to b e e i ter tained on the other side upon the su bj ect . (Th e N o ble Lord here went into some details res pecting the price of sugar at a former period and at the present time, but was quite inaudible in die gallery.) He was understood to say, that with respect to the predictions which were made as to the supply of sugar from the East and West Indies, and the Mauritius, he would not nowgo into detail. .! He would only say that there was no ground whatever for the assertion that the country would be exposed to serious inconvenience from a deficient supply of sugar, if the importation of the foreign production was not permitted. He would not further occupy the time of the House. They were now about to deliver the ver dict which was called for by the last elections, and which it was their duty to deliver before her Majesty's , Government could submit any important measure to Parliament.—(Hear.) Mr. MILNER GMSON had expected to hear some important statement from the Noble Lord who repre sented such large and important commercial interests in that House.--(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord divided his speech into two parts. The first was a careful de finition of the question before the House ; but he (Mr. Gibson) preferred to take for his guide, as to the nature of that question, the Address which had been pro posed, and the amendment subsequently moved.—(Hear, hear.) He had little interest in those party discussions in which the Noble Lord delighted to indulge. He be lieved that the country felt little interested in them. He believed that all interest in them was con fined to the privileged class to which the Noble Laid be longed, and which now stood upon the threshold of (Ace. He was surprised that the Noble Lord should make light of the important questions which were really be fore the House.—(Hear, hear.) It was known to every man, woman and child in the country that there were in that House more Members favourable to Sir Robert Peel than to Lord Melbourne.—(Cheers and great laughter.) Why, then, say any more about it ?—(Re newed cheering and laughter.) It could do nothing more than cause unpleasant recollections on that side of the House.--(Great laughter amongst the Tories.) The feast is prepared for you—(said the Hon. Gen'l emau , addressing the Opposition) —and you will partake of it in due time- —but bide your time—and la us employ in the meanwhile what time we have remaining, in the dis cussion of the important questions which the Queen has recommended to our consideration.—(Great cheering.) However, the Noble Lord, i n th e s econd p ar t o f hi s speech, when he talked of the questions before the House and the country, forgot what he had previously stated, and said the question was between protection and free trade, and had nothing to do with the protYasitiona of.her • we.: Majesty's Mininisters. The Noble Lord was somewhat correct in that statement, as it did materially involve the question of whether they should have a protective. or a free trade ; and he believed that the majority of those who gave their earnest and zealous support to the proposition of her Majesty's Ministers, with reference to the• Bs. duty, and for the relaxation of their commercial code, felt that it was a step towards an end; and he contended that those who proposed the Bs. duty only brought it a day the nearer when the duty should be repealed_ altogether.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord had talked a great deal about the constituents who had returned him, and doubtless Liverpool was a very important commer cial town. But if they analyse the votes which returned. the Noble Lord to Parliament, they would find that ho was not returned to that House by the majority of the householders, the merchants, and bankers of Livepool, but be owed his seat to that pure and virtuous body, the freemen of Liverpool. Therefore he did not con sider that he really represented the sentiments of the town of Liverpool on that important question.— (Ironical cheers and cries of "Order.") The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member must be awe„ee to state that any Hon. Member did not represer:„ th e constituency which returned him to Parliament, - was o u t of order. Mr. GIBSON was far from saying tint he did not represent legally the constituency of Liverpool. He was going to say he wished it was th e l aw o f the land, that the body of men who influenced that election should not have the political power they at present possessed. In the latter part of his speech the Noble Lord had said, in reference to the existing distress, " Take courage —don't despond—for that was not enough." He supposed he meant they should trust to what the Right Hon. Baronet should do when he came into power. But the Right Hon.. Gentleman had left the matter in doubt as to what he should do. Much had bee,ii said of the im portance of not agitating the country, as it might prevent persons from investing their capital. But the indistinct ness of the Right Hon. Baronet was much more likely to produce these results. It was known that the Right Hon. Baronet was coming into power, and whatever measures he thought proper he would be able to carry into effect That, he thought, the Noble Lord could trot deny. A symptom of this uncertainty had already 'been perceived ; for a Noble Duke in another place l'.ad said that if the Right Hon. Baronet did anything with re spect to the alteration of the Corn-laws, he would do so and so. Did the Noble Duke, he - ivkiuld ask, make that statement without a supposition_ in his mind that the in distinctness of the Right Hoe..'Baronet meant something? He was certain that OA Right Hon. Baronet was a man that would not, depart from the sound system of policy of yieldi.lig to the pressure of the times when it was no longer safe to resist. In his speech upon the Catholic Question, if he (Mr. Gib so n) reco ll ecte d r i ghtly, the . :Right Hon. Baronet had laid it dow n as a pr i nc i p l e which , ;fi ght to be placed in every statesman's manual. He was convinced that, at the present moment, such was the state of the commercial interests, and so great was the distress and the difficulty of finding employment for labourers, that there would be such a spirit of dissension in the country before long, th a t th e Ri g h t H on . B aronet _ AS s 1(1 im a hl ti a Wurprise a tle s —he did not know wlhrere he was Member for , —(Several Members called . out for Inverness)—but he was re markable for having come forward to ask for. a vote of public money in order to enable his perishing country men to go to foreign lands. (Hear, hear.) He was astonished to hear him doing that very thing which Hon. Gentlemen on 01:: other side always depre cated, making use of exclling and inflammatory lan guage—(Hear, hear) reference to classes—(Cheer s ) —and when the Ho -A. Gentleman talked about the mercy of the master manufacturers, of their tender mercies in employing infants, and getting rid of adults, he went on to tell the House of the tender feelings of the agri culturists, the farmers, and the landed aristocracy, and described each as acting under the influence of more generous tendency than the master manufacturers. Was anything, he would ask, more improper than such statements ? To what good would they lead ?—(Cheers.) The Honourable Gentleman, when he described his scenes of rural felicity, must permit him to remind him of some circumstances that took place in 1839, with respect to the high price of corn. On the . 14th of February, 1839; at a sitting of the Board of Guardians of the Grantham Union, it was proposed by the Duke of Rutland, seconded by Mr. G. Gregory, and unanimously resolved, " That the Board. considering that during the high price of bread, the independent la bourers are consuming barley bread or wheaten bread mixed with barley, while wheaten bread only is distri buted to the paupers, and being desirous to diminish the oonsumption of wheaten bread, in order that the distress of the labourers may be the sooner alleviated, resolved that the bread given to the paupea be of the same qua lity as that used by the independent labourers in that district—(Hear, hear) — and this, be it remembered, was at a time when the agrice2itural labourers ought to be in ' a condition of great Prosperity, yet at the same time they were obliged to ha'e recourse to coarser food.—(Cheers.) But the Hon. Grantleman, and most of those who had argued on the question, and even the Noble Lord, had agreed with, them, and pretended that the manufacturer wanted bread cheap in order to reduce wages, and so lessen the cos;, of production in order to allow them to compete with 'the foreign manufacturer. That was a complete and entire misunderstanding. They merely wished to obt a in t h e power of selling; because, if they could not take noexchangebarter for their goods, the produce of other countries, ed at the appeared could take place. A gentleman who manufactures cheaper. What America did not want our man i F paying for them, and Conference from America stated that people of they wanted was the power that they were prevented - corn. It was freedom of ex changecoun- try would not take theiran ' f v t l o 'r m e doiing, because this ted.—(Cheers.) The question as that repealed would specula tion,sare l r a ot able to high prices w a sobrew butlaoaw idlepr ic e ands not when the d tthoe curiousCa n Corn-laws r n p which would amuse could they d e prive one class of the community 2—(Cheers.) He contended that result. On what principle of justice,hewo t u e ld th a e s ir k, rig di h d t the to f ree dom of exchange the wheat bronght into t hi s country from foreign lands was as much the produce of British industry as if it had been grown on our own fields.—(Hear.) H e was prepared to support a proposition for an entirely free trade in corn, and he supported the Ministerial pro position for an Bs. duty, simply because, as had been wittily observed by the Hon. and Learned Member for Cork, he hoped they would some day or other be able to send the Bs. after the rest.—(Cheers and laughter.) Ho did not wish to attack particular classes, or to im pute unworthy motives to any Gentleman ; it was not a right mode of conducting public questions ; but he must consider it as an unfortunate coincidence that the pecu niary, interest of those gentlemen who were favourable to the Corn-laws should so closely coincide with the maintenance of the laws to which they gave their politi cal support, and simple-minded people might be apt to consider that those laws had been enacted by a Parlia ment of landowners for their .own pecuniary advantage. Far be it from him to deny that Hon. Gentlemen oppo site were actuated by the most sincere, honest, and dis interested motives. Doubtless they supported the se laws only for national objects. They were men who would " Do good for nought, And blush to find it gain." They accepted the benefit which they derived from the Corn-laws rather as a circumstance which they coted not !help than as an advantage to be desired. Their only objects were natiornl ones ; they desired to keep England independent of foreign countries for food, and to provide peril:ie.:lent employment for our growing population. As f' providing employment, however, for our growing , r e opulation the Corn-laws did not provide employnio even for our a gricultural population. 'F rom 1821 to 1831, whilst the whole population of the country hr.Cl greatly increased, the agricultural population had considerably diminished, being less by 17,000 families in 1831 than it had been in 1841, and they knew by the Reports of the Poor-law Commissioners that pauperism was more per head in the agricultural districts than in_ the manufacturing ones.—(Hear, hear.) It was clear, therefore, that the Corn-laws could not provide em ployment for the agricultural population.—(Cheers.) And even if they could, he would ask what justice was it to enact a law for the purpose of keeping one class. in employment by keeping another class out.— (Hear.) For whilst they interfered with t h e natural right of freedom of exchange, they kept out of employment the manufacturing population, while, at the same time, they did not find employment fur the agricul- AUDITORS.

Sir CHARLES NAPIEI took that opportunity of in quiring whether it was intended to give compensation to the peaceable inhabitants of Syria, whose houses were de stroyed, their trees cut down, and their plantations ruined by the necessary operations of the British troops in the recent war ? and also, whether it was intended to give compensation to the inhabitants of St. Jean d'Acre for their losses under similar circumstances ? Lord PALMERSTON. was happy in being able to state to his Gallant Friend that he had that very morning received a' despatch from Lord Ponsonby, in closing a copy of a renewed order sent by the Porte to the Governor of Acre, to make full remuneration in both the cases to which his Hon. and Gallant Friend had re ferred.—(Hear.) THE LEVANT. Dr. BOWRING wished to know when the sequence of the correspondence on the affairs of the Levant would be laid before the House. Lord PALMERSTON said that ha laid it on the table she first day of the Session. DISCUSSION ON PETITIONS. Mr. WALLACE postponed the following motion till Tuesday, which he had given notice to bring for ward to-day :—" That the usage which has prevailed of late years, of abstaining from discussing the petitions of the people at the time of their pre sentation, shall not be sanctioned in the present Parlia ment, but that the practice which prevailed in the House prior to the period referred to, of discussing Petitions at the time of their presentation, shall be restored." METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. On the motion of Sir M. WOOD, the following Mem bers were appointed as a Select Committee to take into consideration any plans for the improvement of the me tropolis which they may deem worthy of their con sideration; and also .the . petitions which had been presented to this House in the last Parliament for the purchase of the interests of the proprietors of Wa terloo, Southwark, and Vauxhall Bridges, in order to their being immediately opened to the use of the public free from toll, and to report their opinion as to the expediency of adopting any of the said improvements ; and also, as to the best means of carrying the same into effect :—Sir Matthew Wood, Sir Robert Peel, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Viscount Lowther, Mr. Pen darves, Sir William Clay, Colonel Thomas Wood, Mr. George Palmer, r. Tufnell, Mr. Barnard , Mr. R i g b y Wason, Mr. rakley, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Planta, Mr. Kemble, Mr. Alderman Humphery, and Mr. Hawes. THE QUARANTINE LAWS. Dr. BOWRING had reason to know that the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs had instituted extended inquiries on the subject of quarantine gene rally. The correspondence on the subject would be of much use if made public, and therefore he hoped no opposition would be , offered to the motion of which he had given notice. He then moved for " Copies of any correspondence, from the year 1837, which may have taken place between the Foreign-office and the British authorities in the Levant, on the subject of the plague, and quarantine as a protec tion therefrom ; also, any correspondence with Foreign Governments with a view to regulating and improving the quarantine system."—Agreed to. The Honour able Gentleman then said, he believed great errors existed in the public mind as to the amount of taxation levied on landin the different countries of Europe ; and, as a perfect knowledge of the facts would greatly assist the debates which must ensue, he trusted the assistance of the Government would be given in obtaining it. He moved for a " Return of the amount of taxes levied on land in the different States of Europe; distinguish ing the taxes raised for the service of the State from those levied for local purposes ; the re turn to show the amount in the moneys and measures of the different States, and to be rendered into British moneys and measures. Also, returns exhibiting the proportion borne by the land-tax (as approximatively as it can be estimated) to the value or rental of land in the different countries of Europe." Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to call the attention of the House to the nature of the return which had been moved for. It was a return not for any information connected with this country but with foreign countries. — (Hear, hear.) He did not mean to say but that he considered it very desirable that such information should
