Oh dear! what can the matter be ? Oh dear! what can the matter be ? Oh dear ! what can the matter be ? JOHNNY'S SO low on the poll. He prowis'd by this time to be at the head on't, If I might have credited half that he said on't, But oh ! well-a-day! the deceiver, instead on't, He seems to stick fast in the hole. Oh dear! what can the matter be?—(Thrice.) JOHNNY'S So blue at the nose. In spite of his treatings, his dinners, and dances, His fifers, his fiddlers, his puffing Sir FKANCIS, His speechifications, and mobbings, the chance is— He'll be second best at the close. Oh dear! what can the matter he?—(Thrice.) JOHNNY'S So sad in his mind. He says all the fine things, he can make or can borrow, On op,pression and freedom—and adds, that to-morrow He'll give LAMB the go by—and yet, to his sorrow, He still remains lagging behind. Oh dear ! what can the matter be ?—(1 Mice.) JOHNNY'S so much in the dumps. Long ago, when at Paris, he prais'd 13 [JONA PA RTE, Mourn'd Waterloo's battle with moanings most hearty, But tho' he long courted the Jacobin party, He's left in the lurch by the Rumps. Oh dear ! what can the matter be ?—(Thrice.) JOHNNY'S so cross and ill-bred. Vs—yes—'tis because he now plays second fiddle— And play it he must—for 'tis sari ly nn riddle, The Rumps cannot hold any place hut the middle— The Whigs must remain at the head. REGISTER OF FASHION.

Mr. GRATTAN took the oaths and his seat. CORN LAWS. Mr. DrmENsolsr, on presenting a petition from he occupiers of land in the county of Somerset, praying for further protection for the produce of the soil, declared himself averse to theighatio n of the subject at the present time, concurring, however, in'tLe principle of the petition., Mr. BtßcErsaid, that coming as he (lid from a large manufacturing county, where the Corn Bill had operated most iojutionsly, he could not but express his regret that any further proceeding to render it more severe upon the mass of the popu lation should now he resolved upon. It was fact which could not be contradicted, that there was in this country a redundant population, and the supply of food would he entirely inadequate were . it not for t he importation of foreign grain. If any mischief should arise to the peace of the country, it ought to be attributed to the agitation of such a measure as that now proposed. Mr. PICK ENSON said, in explanation, that be asserted it ought not to be agitated at this time. ' Petition ordered to be printed. INDIA. Mr..

Morgan, Mr. Edwards (Mem ber fot Glanaorganshire), and Sir J. Coffin. Mr. LLTTLRTON said, if any new tax was pro posed on inland coals he would strenuously op poe it. The subject had excited a great ferment, and he advised Ministers not to lose a moment in coming down to declare to the House that they did not intend to propose any such ttx. Mr. KENNET spoke against any equalization of the Coal Duties. Mr. CALCRAFT was in favour of such an equa lization Mr•. S. WTORTLRY Opposed it. Mr. DAVENPORT said a few words, but teas not audible. Mr. PROTHRRoII ss►id, that on this stibect he should act in obedience to the wishes of his con stituents, an►i would suppott -such an za ion. Mr. H. SUMMER was of the same opinion. The subject ought to be initnediately brought forward, and he pledged himself to brim it before the House. It was intolerable that the great bulk of the people should be taxed for the benefit of a aew monopolist s , li e dwelt strongly on the mi series endured by the poor from this local, partial, and unjust tax upon coals. Lord G. Somerset, Mr. N. Calvert, and Mr. ( -- ?pps, slid a few words, when LOrd . CASTLRREACH suggested that this was not a fir orportuoity for discussing this subject. Mr. LITTLETON repeated his deterviluation to oppose toy - measure which the Hon. - Member (11r.

WRIGHT, the Chairman of the Com mittee appointed w inquire into the merits of the Penryn Election, appeared at the Bar with the Report, declaring the sitting Member, Henry Swann, Esq. to be unduly elected, upon the gro un d s or wilful and corrupt bribery having been employed in procuring hii election. A new writ being therefore moved for, Sir C. BURRELL rose, and opposed the issue of it, till further investigation should be had as to the merits of the case. Some individuals, he did not deny, had been found guilty of bribery, but there were others implicated in the same offence to a greater extent than those whose names had come before the public. The SranKan here asked the Flon. Member if he hail any motion to Sobalit on the subject, when h• moved, as an ameudment, that all the words iu the order for the new writ after. the word that b* omitted, A MEMBER observes!, that there was no proof of any general corruption having been used, which could induce the House to grant a new writ. Mr.GuitsEy observed, that both parties were known to have find recourse to the grossest in stances of bribery. The House, therefore, ought to pause before it condemned one side, when the other was no less guilty. A MaNniEtt of the Committee, whose name could not be learnt, said, that these was a strong feeling in the Committee that the prows of bri bery which had been adduced were not sufficient to warrant the Borough being distranchi ed. To that feeling he had thought proper to submit, though the conviction in dlis Owu mind was, that a place so notoriously corrupt ought to be deprived of the election franchise. He wGuld not hesi!ate to avow himself a reformer, but riot a reformer of a character to harmonise in the opinions which prevailed among a deluded class of men out of doors. lie was a model - We reformer, and he was persuaded if the misguided persou s to whom lie alluded could see a disposition in that House to purify the Representation by disfranchising such places as Penryn, they might be made sensible of their error. Boroughs like that, which were shamefully sold, ought to be made to yiehi those tights 'which they abused, and which might be conferred with advantage to the cause of justice and freedom upon such large towns as_ Manchester, Birmingham, and Sheffield. Sir Jou N NEWPORT perfectly concurred in the sentiments of the flou. Member who had jitst sat clown ; it was time that the business of Reform should commence, when such corruption as this was known to prevail. Mr. ATKINS WRIGHT made some few nbserva. tions, stating, that Out of two or three hundred voters, nut more than eleven had the charge of bt ibery clearly proved against them. Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that it was certaitily very important that the Represe'ntation should be pure and unimpeachable ; and it was no less im portant that it should be completed as to the Members composing it, without any unnecessary delay. Ije should beg leave to be toed from the Chair, if, in the practice of the any instances were known of motions bring made, when there was no special Report troll) the Committee ? The SPEAKER, being called upon by the Noble Lord to state whether such a step as the present bad been taken where there was no special Re port from a Committee, should answer t h at he slid not immediately recollect any instance. Jt would be for the House, however, to consider how far the present case might be deemed allele gous to others in which similar motions had beep made. Mr. WYNN recollected several instances in which the issue of a new writ had been delayed under similar circumstances.—(Here the Hon. Member quoted Aylesbuty, and certain other bo roughs, as precedents.)—This was a motion of which the House ought to entertain a coilstilo tional jealousy. A place entitled by law to a Re presentative, ought not to reinain longer tintype sewed than the Constitution authorised. Sir JOHN Nsweoirr said, that the parties had, by a Committee of that House, been found guilty of a most shameful traffic. Mr. I'. Moons followed oo the same side; and after a few words from Admiral Sothe rou an d Mr. Howard, it was carried in the affirmative, that the original motion be withdrawn, and, the debate adjourned till Monday next. Mr. WYNN then moved, that there. be laid be• fore the House the Minutes of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the Yearyn Motion agreed to. • BREACH OF PRIVILEGE—MR. GRADY. Mr. liuTcHINsoN rose, pursuant to his notice, to move that Mr. Grady be discharged from New gate. He expressed a strong sense of the diffi culty of the situation in which be was placed, not because he thought he was advocating a rong cause, but because he feared he had not influenc e enough to induce •t he llouse to protect at) injured individual, and to support its own dignity. He begged to observe, that the decisitni to it hid ) he objected was come to on Wednesday night in a very thin House--with not more, than tiny Members in theii• places —many of whom proba bly were not aware of the exact nature of the de cision they came to. Ile disavoWed any inten tion of undervaluing the privileges of the House ; yet lie thought the decision come to the other night was an error. It seemed to him as if the general impression on the House was, that the Hon. Member for Limerick was the victim of a 'foul conspiracy. lie washed, however, to call the attention of the House to a•few facts. The present state of the case was, that a grave and selious charge was-made against a Member, who had made a most able and impressive defence, It Was now resolved, that the complaint should be beard at the bar. He agreed that it was proper Mr. Grady's attendance at the hearing of the charge should be secured, but not by so harsh a step as that which had been taken. Mr. Grady happened to have heard that the House came to' .a resolution that the letter in question was a gross• breach of privilege. Thus situated, he Was railed to the Bar, and called upon to answer a question' by which he might have criminated himself:- He old not criminate himself. And how had hio cri rminality been proved ? By the evidence of Mr. Quin, a party in the case. The evidence of Mr. Quin in such a case might not to have been re ceived ; for how would it stand, in case, upon hearing the charge, Mr. Quin should be found guilty He knew that many Members who had concurred in that motion, were now very sorry that they had done so. Evidence as respectable as any in the empire could be brou g ht to t h e B ar of that Ho u se, to prove that Mr. Grady cannot ; read by candle light.—(Langliter.)—He could prove also, that Mr. Grady was so short-sighted, that in walking along the street, if he had not a guide, a carriage might run over him.—(Laugh ter.)—Besides, Mr. Grady had it in his power, over and over again, to have withdrawn from the House after he heard the turn which their pro ceedings were taking, But he must lay it down broadly, that there was no sufficient evidence of Mr. Grady being the author of that letter. But suppose it Was written 10 a state of irritation alter 30 11 " ov er .(I 1° ,elOO 10" .
