HOUSE OF LORDS, May 11. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat clh the Wool sack at Five o'Clock. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain Bills, which were respectively read a first time. Lord STRAFFORD presented a petition from Lon donderry against lay patronage in the Church of Scotland; also a petition from a place in the same county for the repeal of the Corn-laws.

The Public is respectfully CAUTIONED against the statement intended to be advertised in the London Papers, that at the end of the discussion between Mr. Brindley and Mr. L. Jones, on the sth, 6th, and 7th instant, a Resolution in favour of Socialism was carried by a large majority. The fact is, that the " Resolution " was merely read in the midst of the most vociferous cheers for Mr. Brindley from three-fourths of the entire audience. It was, therefore, im possible that such a resolution could be passed. Though the name of Mr. Murphy may appear at the foot of the advertisement as " Chairman " of the meeting, he had no authority to affix it, for he was only Moderator of the discus sion. So much for those honourable principles, and the unfair means used for their promotion. J. GOODWIN, Lord ABINGER presented a petition for the suppres sion of the tolls on metropolitan bridges. He could not concur in the prayer or in the reasoning of the peti tion. He thought the bridges were private speculations, which ought to be paid for by those who use them. He did not think the public money should be applied to re deem those tolls. On the motion of Lord WHARNCLIFFE, the Man chester and Leeds Railway Bill was read a third time and passed.

REMOVED from 63, Upper Thames-street, to 54, WATLING-STREET, near Queen -street, Cheapside. J. R. WILKINSON particularly recommends his Paint to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public, wbe wish to paint their houses of Roman cement, 'stucco, or brick walls, as a preven tive to damp or sea sprit, in exposed situations; it will not Mister or peel off as common paint. On tiling, to represent slating, iron hurdles, roofs, conservatories, hot-houses, fences, farm, or any out-buildings, it will last. four times as long as '•ornmon paint. It is so simple in its use, that any labourer can lay it on. To shipowners for their decks, bottoms of ves sels, &c., it will be shown, as well as to the public, to be supe rior to any paint in use, by testimonials of its lasting fourteen years on wood and houses, twenty years on iron (see the South wark-bridge). The public are particularly guarded in giving their orders for Wilkinson's Anti-Corrosion Paint, that no ether colour may be imposed upon them for his. A liberal allowance to the trade.

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— SIR —As I am sure you will he happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of 111 y last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I was recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehou , eman Friday-street,Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this di,tressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know wh're to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen h'm but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been the means of confe rr i ng on me; and findi ng h e h a d never made this invatuable discovery publicly known, ITT solved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, &c. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames-street, and 12, Marlborough place, Old Kent-road. July 6, 1840.

We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied en. 36, OLD BOND -STREET, AND 1, OLD JEWRY, CllEAPSlDE.—Patronised by the Royal Family, her Majesty the Queen of Hanover, the Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Newcastle, Duke of Leeds, the late Duke of Buckingham, the Marquis of Wel. lesley, &c. ; Sir J, E.

Besides the perfect security to the policy holder of a large paid up capital, and accumulating funds, the following is one amongst many of the advantages which belong exclus►vely to the principles of Life Assurance and Deferred Annuities ori ginated by the Society, viz.—Power to borrow (without de lay, expense, or forfeiture) Two-thirds of all premiums paid upon a Policy of Assurance. The annexed is a short Table, showing the Annual Premium for assuring £lOO on the Whole Lite, or for a Term : Lord HATHERTON said that the principle laid down by the Noble and Learned Lord, would apply to the advance of money by Government towards the building of London-bridge.—(Hear, hear.) Lord BERESIFORD presented a petition from Ber mondsey, also against the bridge tolls. He supported the prayer, and thought it very desirable that the tolls should be redeemed, if the money could be raised in any reason able and equitable manner. Lord DUNCANNON said that the subject had been referred to the Select Committee of the House of Com mons on Metropolitan Improvements, and until the Re port of that Committee was received, the Government could not determine upon taking any course. Lord HATHERTON presented several petitions re lating to Sunday traffic on canals. Lord HADDINGTON gave notice that on the second reading of Sir Walter Scott's Monument Bill, he would move for the insertion of a clause to facilitate the trans fer of the site. ARMS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord DUNCANNON moved the second reading of the Arms (Ireland) Bill. lie said it was considered ne cessary to renew, for another year, this measure, which was now about to expire. The only alteration that had been made in it since last year was, that any person wish ing to register arms should give ten days' notice. After some verbal amendments, the Bill was read a second time. Lord DUN CANNON then.moved the second reading of the Dublin Wide Streets Bill. After a few words from the Earl of WICKLOW, in approbation of the measure, the Bill was read a second time. SLAVES' COMPENSATION. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON, the Slaves' Compensation Bill was read a second time, the object of the Bill being to enable the Government to settle the claims still remaining without reference to an arbitrator. Messengers from the Commons brought up the Pol loc and Govan Railway Bill, and several other Bills. The Administration of Justice (Borough's) Bill was laid on the table by the Marquis of NORMANBY. The Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Friday. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a petition from Dublin, praying that Liverpool should be made the station for the West India packets. The Noble MARQuis presented also several petitions from Ireland, on the subject of Medical Reform, and the remuneration of medical officers to workhouses, and other public institutions. The School Sites' Conveyance Bill then went through Committee, in which several verbal amendments were agreed to, on the motion of Lord DUNCANNON. Lord MOUNTCASHEL begged to ask, whether there was any clause excluding Ireland from the operation of the Bill ? The Marquis of LANDSDOWNE said that there was no clause to that effect, but he intended to move the insertion of one, for that purpose, in a future stage of the Bill ; and to bring in a separate Bill for Ireland. The Bill was then reported and ordered to be printed with the amendments. To be read a third time on Thursday. INTEREST ON PROMISSORY NOTES. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the amount of interest now payable by law upon promissory notes. He would not now go into a statement of his own views upon their operation, but he would trouble their Lordships with a few words upon the present state of the law. In the 4th of William IV., upon certain representations from the Bank of England, promissory notes under six months' date were taken out of the usury laws. In the Ist of Victoria, the exemption was extended to all bills under twelve months' date. That Act would expire towards the end of 1840, but in that year an Act was passed to continue the experiment for two or three years. The object of the inquiry did not re late to the expediency of bills of exchange, or to usury generally, but to the expediency of giving a certain facility to the advancement of money, upon cer tain kinds of bills, by allowing a higher rate of interest than usual upon them in some cases. Lord ASHBURTON was understood to say that he was by no means unfavourable to inquiry, as his own ideas on the subject were quit': unfixed, but he had rather the inquiry were postponed for another year, when there would be sufficient experience of the present law. After a few words from the Marquis of LANDS DOWNE the motion (with a slight alteration) was agreed to, and the Committee was appointed. CORN-LAWS. The Earl of FITZWILLIAM presented petitions from places in Staffordshire, against the present Corn laws. The Earl of RADNOR postponed till to-morrow the motion for returns respecting importation of corn, of which he had given notice for this evening. The Noble Lord, however, read a number of returns from the year 1810 down to last year, in confirmation of his state ment last evening that Scotland had of late years been supplied with corn and gots from Ireland to a large amount, and that the exportation of grain from Ireland had been gradually diminishing for years. This diminution, he contended, was attribiltal' l 4' , solely to bad seasons, but in a great measure to incre:•.=-rd con sumption at home. The Earl of HADDINGTON had not denied tk 4 ; grain was imported into Scotland. What he said was that corn was imported into this country from Scotland, the corn received by the latter country from this being chiefly for the purpose of seed. There was also a large quantity of the finest our for confectionery and the like exported (especilffly from Hertfordshire) to Scot land. But this bore no proportion to the whole con sumption. Lord MONTEAGLE said that the argument of his Noble Friend (Earl Radnor) was complete, and showed from the Custom-house returns, which could not be impeached or disputed, that Scotland had lately become on imp or t ing c Oz:ntry to a much greater extent than an ex p ort i ng one . In four of the years referred to in the returns , cotland impo . i!ed more wheat than the rest of th e U n i te d Ki ng dom. The Earl of HADDINGTON begged to ask if the Noble Lord (Radnor) meant to say that Scotland imported 121,000 quarters more than she exported ? The Earl of RADNOR said that was precisely what he meant.—(Hear, hear.) He believed the returns were correct in showing the excess of imported -corn above the exported to be of that large amount, but he was not prepared to take his oath of it.—(A laugh.) • The Earl of GLENGALL said that the diminution of the exportation of wheat from Ireland arose from the same cause as the diminished excise upon distilled spirits in that couutry. The people had taken to drink tea or coffee instead of spirits ; and with these beverages they ate a great deal of bread, which was a kind of food they never thought of before.—(Hear.) The Earl of RADNOR was very glad to hear so satis factory a cause assigned for a diminution in the export. Lord ASHBURTON deprecated those irregular dis cussions of so important a question. He believed that he was misunderstood in an observation which he made last night, and which was to the effect that the improve ments in agriculture would enable our own farmers to supply the population, with the exception of occasional years of scarcity, for which it wag the great merit and utility of the present system of Corn-laws to provide a relief.—(Hear, hear.) Although it was true that on one occasion wheat did rise so high as 955. a quarter, .v-et, making allowance for the vicissitudes of the seasons, the price had maintained a most remarkable steadiness since the establishment of the present law.—(Hear, hear.) Before he sat down he must observe that he never ar gued that law prices, arising from a good harvest, were an injury to the farmer, because the latter was indem nified by the abundance of his crop.—(Hear, hear.) It was quite a different thing when the low price was occa sioned by the competition of the foreigner.—(Hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW said that the figures read by the Noble Lord (Radnor) opposite were his own figures, and were not of equal authority with those which other Noble Lords had read in reply from papers on the table of the House. He deprecated the unfairness of coming down prepared for discussions of this question by details, without giving such notice as would enable other Noble Lords to prepare a reply.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of RADNOR said that as Noble Lords seemed to doubt the statement of figures, which he made last night from memory, he had consulted the papers from which he had taken them a year ago, and he only referred to them this evening to confirm what he said last night. Those papers were contained in the blue book at that moment in the hands of a Noble Earl (Glen gall) poposite—(A laugh)—whose statement confirmed his, and gave him great satisfaction, showing that there had been for six or seven years a rapidly in creasing diminution of the export of corn from Ireland, occasioned by the increase of home consumption. The Duke of 'WELLINGTON regretted that no no tice had been given of the intention of bringing on a discussion of this question. Reference had been made to former speeches of his Noble Friend (Lord Ashbur ton) and others on general questions of free trade, as if the same principle applied to this question. Why, the vcvy first writer who introduced the doctrine of free trad in this country (Adam Smith) expressly excluded corn from the application of his principles.—(Hear, hear.) Adam Smith emphatically laid it down that care should be taken that the subsist ence of the people should not be left to depend on the indu str y or good will of other na ' tions.—(Hear, hear.) H e (the Duk e of 'Wellington) was still of opinion that if agri culture wa s to be continued in this country, the protection must be maintained, and the ictslay, that acc or di ng to his efficacious an d j ust. Earl id present E system rr zw tLplrfle‘‘ re collection, what Adam Smith stated on the subject of the Corn-laws of his day was, that he fo un d t h ose laws very much in favour with corn - dealers and merchants, perfectly On the motion that the Report of the Committee on the Kidderminster Small Tenements Bill be brought up, Mr. PRYME objected to the reception of the Report, on the ground that the effect of the Bill, as it then stood, would be to disfranchise many municipal electors, by ra ting the landlords of small tenements instead of the occu piers. When the Bill was first introduced, it contained a clause preserving all Parliamentary and Municipal fran chises to those who were at present entitled to them ; that clause had been struck out in Committee, and consequent ly the Bill would have a disfranchising effect. On that ground he should move that the Report be received that day six months. Mr. GODSON had wished that clause to be retained, and if the Hon. Member would withdraw his amend ment, he would on the third reading bring up a clause, which would be a re-insertion of the clause struck out in Committee. Mr. BERNAL, as Chairman of the Committee, had considered it doubtful how far such a clause could le gally take effect, and had therefore thought it best to strike it out. After a short conversation, Mr. PRYME withdrew his amendment, on the understanding that the clause should be introduced on the third reading. The Report was then brought up. The Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle Railway Bill was read a second time. The Lords' Amendments to the Liverpool Gas Bill were agreed to. The Lords' Amendments to the Northern and Eastern Railway Deviation Bill were agreed to. The Wells and Highbridge Roads Bill, and the Rox burgh and Dumfries Roads Bill, were respectively read a third time and passed. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from a place in Forfar, in favour of the repeal of the bread-tax. Sir E. KERRISON presented similar petitions. Mr. WARD presented a petition from Sheffield in favour of the abolition of Church-rates ; also a petition from the same place, which, in the course of three hours, had received 13,370 signatures, praying that the Corn and Provision-laws might be repealed, and that the whole system of the Import Duties might be revised. Mr. BROTHERTON presented 16 petitions for the repeal of the Corn-laws, from different parts of Lanca shire and Staffordshire ; also 15 petitions from the opera tives of different parts of these counties. Sir JOHN NEELD presented petitions from different parts of Northamptonshire against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. EASTHOPE presented upwards of eighty peti tions from different parts of England for the abolition of Church-rates, and the extinction of Ecclesiastical Courts. Mr. EVANS presented several petitions from Baptist congregations in Leicester, to the same effect. _ _ WALLACEMr. W presented a petition from the Sugar refiners of Glasgow in favour of the Government propo sition for the repeal of the duty on Sugar. Mr. LANGDALE presented two petitions from con gregations of Baptists in Stone, praying for the admis sion of Dissenting Ministers to poor-houses. Sir W. YOUNG presented petitions from various places in Bucks, against an alteration of the Corn-laws. Sir R.. INGLIS, on behalf of the Hon. Member for Liverpool, presented a petition from the Town Council of the B9rough of Liverpool, praying that Liverpool may be appointed the mail-packet station for the West Indies. The Hon. Member presented 29 petitions in favour of Church Extension. Sir G. STICKLAND presented a petition from the county of York, praying for the abolition of Church rates, and of the jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Colonel SALWEY presented a petition from the in habitants of Mirch Wenlock, in Salop, praying that the Corn-laws may be immediately and entirely abolished. Also petitions to the same effect from the working men in the employ of Messrs. Macmichael and Grierson, car pet-manufacturers, Bridgenorth ; from the working men in the employ of Messrs. Southwell, carpet-manufactur ers, Bridgenorth ; and from the working men in the em ploy of Mr. Josiah Griffiths, of Quatford, in the county of Salop. Mr. BAINES presented a petition from the merchants, bankers, and manufacturers of Leeds, in favour of the measures introduced by her Majesty's Government, for the reduction of the duties on Sugar and Timber, and for the amelioration of the duties on Corn, from several bodies of workmen in Leeds, in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Hon. Member also presented petitions to the same from three places in Yorkshire ; also petitions from the Wesleyan Methodists, Protestant Dissenters, Baptists, and Independants of Leeds, prayingfor the aboli tion of Church-rates ; also a petition, signed by 25,485 of the inhabitants of Leeds, praying for the abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr. RICH presented petitions from the builders, brass founders, and other trades of Manchester, against the Corn-laws ; also a petition from Knaresborough, in favour of tiN reduction of the duties on sugar, timber, and corn. Mr. BERKELV?: presented 15 petitions from Dissent -11;1 Congregations in 3ristol, praying for the abolition of Church-rates and EcclesLitical Courts ; also a petition from a pizee in Gloucestershi;e9 to the same effect ; and a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Bristol, against the alteration of the duty on timber. Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE presented a ftetition from Not tingham in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws ; and another from the medical practitioners of the same place, praying for medical reform. Mr. B. WOOD presented petitions from the Dissent ing Congregations of Shadwell, Peckham, Clerkenwoll. and other places in the Metropolis, praying for the abo lition of Church-rates. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition to the same effect from the Dissenters of South Shields. Mr. PATTESON presented similar petitions from 'Dissenting Congregations in London. gy-. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice, that on Tuesday. the 25th !)f . May, he should move an humble address to her Molest); praYing that her Majesty would be gra ciously pleased tom'` take measures for the liberation of all political offenders nosw suffering imprisonment. C HIJ 7 . XH-R AT ES. ition o b f rat Church-es and Petitions praying for the ol Ecclesiastical Courts were prest.:7l y Mr. Pr from Cambridge and Cottenham ;'by George Grey, from Devonport ; by Mr. Ewart, from C.horley, and other places ; by Mr. Hume, from Leighton I;:Azzard, Kentish Town, and Weymouth • by Mr. R. Gordon, from Ports mouth and two other places ; by Mr. T. Duncon2be, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Buckinghamshire, and a dist:net of the metropolis ; and by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, &Ow Reading. Mr.:EASTHOPE then rose for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Church-rates. He was quite aware of the in convenience that would arise from any interference with the debate which was adjourned last night, and he was most anxious not to offer any such in terference ; but attn. tho number of petitions that had been presented, and the excitement that pre vailed in the country, whatever his reluctance might be, he thought the House would admit that it was impossible that he could consistently postpone his motion. He trusted, therefore, that the House would allow him to introduce his Bill, and in such case he proposed not to go into the subject at all on the present occasion, but to take the debate upon the second reading. He, therefore, moved for leave to bring in a Bill for abolishing Church-rates, and for making other provision for the maintenance of churches and chapels in England and Wales. Mr. HUME seconded the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he understood the Hon. Member to state that this was a Bill for abolishing Church-rates, and making other provision for the erec tion of churches. If this were the case, he should have no objection to the Bill being laid on the table, and to see what the other provisions were. He believed there could not be much difference of opinion that this was a desirable object, but if thq provisions were not satisfactory, he should certainly t ote against the second reading.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. NICHOLLS said he thought this was not a proper moment'for the introduction of a Bill of so much importance ; the law of the land had been ascertained by the decision of the Court of Exchequer ; and, therefore, his Hon. Friend was not justified in introducing, without giving any reason for it, a Bill to change the law of the -land. Should such a bill be introduced, he should be ready to discuss it ; but on the present occasion he should Move-an. amendment, that the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate be now read.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. H. INGLIS seconded th — e amendment, observ ing that he could not agree with the Noble Lord as to the expediency, under any circumstances, of abolishing - Church-rates.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. EASTHOPE had not expected such an opposi tion to his motion. He was sure that the opposition he met with would be viewed in the country with much di ssa ti s faction. He was very anxious that he should not interfere with the expected business of the House, but met in the way he had, been, he would press the question to a division. Lord JOHN RUSSELL—If the House had acceded to the proposition of the Hon. Member he would have willingly agreed, but as objeations had been taken to the motion, he trusted the Hon. Member would not stand in the wa y of the House• proceeding with the adjourned debate. He could not , Vote for the introduction of the Bill, because, under the circumstance, in which they were placed, the House was not prepared for the intro duction of such a measure. Mr. HUME had hoped there would have been no op position to the introduction rof the Bill, as it was almost the same as bad been before the House for the last two sessions. However, as such objection was found with the motion, under all the circumstances of the case, he would advise his Hon. Friend not to divide the House upon the question, but bring it forward at a fitter opportunity. Therefore, although his Hon. Friend had been already subjected to so many disappointments, he would advise him to submit to one more disappointment on the pre sent occasion, and to withdraw his motion. If he saw any probability of carrying a division, even without discussion, he would advise his Hon. Friend to persevere ; but as he saw no chance of carrying a division, in the then temper of the House, he should advise his Hon. Friend to withdraw his motion, on the under standing that an early day should be fixed for the dis cussion of the subject. Mr. EASTHOPE trusted the House would believe that he was exceedingly reluctant to press any motion against the sense of the House ; but he felt that he should be neglecting his duty, and compromising the interests of the numerous petitioners who had intrusted their cause to his hands, if, in withdrawing his motion, he did not entreat that an early day might be fixed for bringing forward the question. On Tuesday next there were se veral notices on the paper which would take precedence of his, but he would, in withdrawing the motion, give no tice that on that day fortnight he should bring it forward again. • The motion was then withdrawn. RETURNS. Mr. HUME moved for an account of the amount of the fund denominated the " suitors' fund" in Chancery on the Ist day of January, 1833, stating how the same was at that time invested. The amount of dividends re ceived, of payments made, and of surplus at the same date in each year, up to the Ist day of January, 1841 ; stating the payments under the heads of salaries, sur veyor of buildings, legal expenses, and miscellaneous. Account, in detail, of the manner in which the sum paid. from the " suitors' fund," in Chancery, in the year 1840 was applied ; stating the name of each person to whom any salary or payment was made, and the amount of such salary or payment ; also, the sums paid for other purposes than salaries or fees, to whom and for what purposes paid. Account, in detail, of the manner in which the sum for Miscellaneous Ser vices was expended in 1840. Account of the amount received by the Accountant-General for brokerage, in each year, from the Ist day of January, 1833, to the Ist day of January, 1841—Ordered.

Mr. •HOSKINS obtained leave to bring in a Bill to . exempt lime as manure from the payment of turnpike On the motion of Mr. FRESHFEELD, the following Members were nominated as a Select Committee on West India Mails :—Mr. Freshfield, Lord Dalmeny, Lord Viscount Ingestre, Captain Pechell, Captain Dun combe, Mr. Charles Wood, Sir Thomas Cochrane, Mr. John O'Connell, Lord Viscount Sandon, Lord Worsley, Mr. Philip Miles, Mr. Craig, Mr. De Horsey, Mr. Os wald, and Mr. Richard Hodgson. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the more easy recovery of Arrears of Composition for Tithes, from persons of the persuasion of the people called Quakers, in Ireland. SUGAR DUTIES. On the Order of the day for the Adjourned Debate for the House going into Committee on Ways and Means being read, Mr. GROTE presented thirteen petitions, signed by a considerable number of persons residing in the metropo lis, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Hon ourable Member also presented a petition from the wholesale and retail grocers of the metropolis, praying the House to adopt the measure proposed by her Majesty's Government, relative to the Sugar Duties. Mr. EWART presented a petition from Liverpool, in 'favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. FIELDEN presented a petition from Oldham to the same effect. Mr. HUME presented various petitions to the same effect, from the fishermen of Peterhead and various parts of Scotland. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS presented a similar petition from Manchester, signed by 61,629 persons.—(Cheering.) Mr. RAIKES CURRIE presented a petition in favour of the measure introduced by her Majesty's Government for the reduction of the duties on Sugar, Timber, and Corn. ADJOURNED DEBATE. Mr. MACAULAY said that, unwilling as he was to stand in the way of his Hon. Friend (Mr. Gisborne), who had a right to address the House, yet he ought to feel no difficulty in presenting himself at the first oppor tunity to the attention of the House. It appeared that he (Mr. Macaulay) was not in his place yesterday evening. Had he been there, however, perhaps he might have had some difficulty in addressing the House in the state in which it then was. He should notwithstanding have trusted that, during the very few moments in which he would have felt it necessary to offer himself to the House, he would have experienced that courtesy which, even in the midst of the most excited political discussions, he believed that House never refused to any Member, be his personal feelings what they might. He was glad, however, that he had not been in his place. It was not till that morning that he be came acquainted with some part of the de bate which took place yesterday evening. The consequence was that he now came down to the House • without any feeling of irritation. He (Mr. Macaulay) did not believe that his Honourable Friend —for he would still call him his Hon. Friend—the Mem ber for Newark had intended anything personally offen sive in his speech of the preceding evening, to one from whom he never received any personal provocation, He was satisfied that he might also add, that some part of the expressions which he saw were imputed to his Hon. Friend, was of a nature so gratifying to his (Mr Macaulay's) feelings as to more than com pensate, what could be given to him by censures which he was conscious he had not deserved.—(Hear.) Avoid ing, therefore, all irritable expressions avoiding all recrimination or retort, he would request the attention of the House during a very few moments. He had not intended to take any part in that debate, and he would have been satisfied that the general principle of the measures brought forward by the Government, should have been left to rest upon that most luminous and eloquent exposition made of them on Friday night by his Noble Friend near him ord J. Russell), to which he felt it would be diffi cult :o add anything.—(Hear, hear). The question of details be should have left with equal pleasure to his Right Honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the President of the Board of Trade, and other gentlemen whose intimate knowlege of of the manufacturing interests of the country would en able them to treat those subjects with an ability and an authority to which he (Mr. Macaulay) could not pretend. He only offered himself to the House for the purp . ose of alluding to the question on which it wa s now impossible for him to remain silent ; but he would refer as soberly and as temperately as he could t o those reasons which led him conscientiously to believe that a person who had, according to his situation and the measure,of his abilitimrnade exertions and sacrifices for the • purpose of removing from our laws the stain of slaver7—that a person who was sensible that a pecuhar responsibility. lay upon him, derived from exertions and sacrifices not his own, upon that great questioi.l, might honestly and properly sup port the measure which her Majesty's Government proposed, to the House.

Nay, he spoke, if he understood Lim rightly, of A laxity of principle—of a certain infatuation,_ and of a judicial blindness which appeared to guide their course. Now he (Mr. M.) was utterly at a loss to know what the rirpiple was which they were accused of violating. h.. had listened to speeches, he had read the newspapers, and looked to the resolution of the Honourable Member for Liverpool ; but still he 'could not imagine what were those great principles of humanity .zvhich they were accused of deserting.

Gentlemen opposite mighi have reasons for showing why they should countenance it in one case and not in the other, but he altogether de nied that they could show any great general law of mo rality on which the distinction rested ; and he must say that when he contemplated the whole of the case, it seemed to him that the discussion partook much less of moral feeling than of party interest. These con siderations certainly weighed on his mind. He would suppose that some aspiring philanthropist should oome down to that House, and called upon them to exclude the cotton of the United States ; he would suppose that he drew, and he was afraid he might draw with great truth, a very melancholy and frightful picture of the physical, social, and moral effects of slavery in the southern States of America ; he would suppose that he asked them whether they would receive from that country he believed between three and four hundred millions of pounds- of cotton annually, every ounce of which was produced t by slavery ;—if such a person wa.l to come forward with that argument, and call upon the House to pass a law to interdict slave-grown cotton, either by prohibition or by prohibitory duties, he was confident that the Right Hon. -Baronet the Mem ber for Tamworth, the Hon. Member for Newark, and his Right Honourable Friend the Member for the Tower Hamlets, would all with one voice declare that such a proposition was inadmis sible.--(Hear, hear.) The reasons they should assign he could but very imperfectly give ; but when he stated' what the reasons were which influenced his own vote, he would leave it to the House to say whether those reasons might not apply to the present case. He should say, if such a proposition were brought in, " I admit that slavery is a great and fearful evil—l admit that in all those parts of the world which lie within the sphere of our power, we lie under a moral obligation to abo lish it. I admit that no cost, however great , t hat stands in the way of so clear a duty, should, in that case, be con sidered ; but the case of slavery, as within the sphere of our own power, and in foreign countries, presented cases of distinct features, and should be treated on per fectly different principles.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He was not the legislator of the United States, nor had he power to say to the planters of Carolii;. and Georgia, could de only exerciseei)e operate of te equal upon " You must set your slaves at liberty, and -.4ldmit them a„rs,,eß i n s, s - ,,. es.; Th W at e . ts ever might be done by those rival means by themrigh with in di' nation acted upon another, that they were bound to d o. Nor should they stop here. He regarded with the highest admiration those efforts which had been made for the purpose of putting down the slave trade by means of our cruisers, and by treating with other n ations for the suppression of the slave trade. But he was not pre pared to join in any measure for suppressing slave trade by suppressing commercial intercourse. The happioeis of our own people was especially committed to our charge. .All men had some claim upon them, but not all the same claim. In this country there was a manufacturing population depending entirely for daily bread upon remote markets. There were one million and a half of people who were supported by the cotton manufac ture. It would be frightful to contemplate the effect which would be produced by suppressing the trade in slave-made cotton. It would reduce hundreds of thou sands to despair and famine, and shake alla,lie institutions of the State ; would make Germany supply .he place of England, and turn the great body of our arth..ans into beggars. The question before the House was in s very similar position. He firmly believed that the ef fect would be to deprive us of the market of Brazil, if we persevered in our present line of policy. He had at tempted to compare what would be the effect produced upon the Brazilian slave trade, by the species of influence which England would be enabled to exercise with the Brazilian authorities, and with the effect likely to be produced by the persisteuce in the prohibi tive system, the degree of unhappiness among the slaves which would be removed by continuing those restrictions, with the degree of unhappiness which would be inflicted upon our own people, that peo ple who were particularly committed to our charge, and for whose happiness we were more particularly responsible. If it was his deliberate opinion that on the whole it was their duty to adopt a proposition somewhat similar to the one brought forward by her Majesty's Government, he could not conceive how any Honourable Gentleman could taunt him as being guilty of any dereliction of principle, because the result of his calculations happened to be dif ferent from his (Mr Macaulay's.) He would not deny that the country had voluntarily paid a sum of 20,000,0001 to be able to rid themselves of an enormous moral and so- • cial evil, for the existence of which we were responsible and which, moreover, pressed upon our fellow-subjects —(cheers)—but was that any reason why we should pay, and pay continually what he was certain would amount to a sum much greater than 20,000,0001. for the purpose of marking our aversion to the evil for the existence of which we were not responsible, and which it was ex ceedino.ly doubtful whether we could at all mitigate or lessen by adopting such means 2—(Loud cheers.) It had • been said that foreign countries would feel astonishment at our inconsistency. He believed they would feei asto nishment, if they understood that we had no scruple in permitting articles of slave-labour produce to be con sumed in our colonies, and yet to retain that scruple. -. when it was proposed to consume them in the United • Al Kingdom.—(Cheers.) And if they looked further, they would feel greater astonishment, when they saw that it was not because the cause of slavery, or the slave trade, was fostered by the one course more than the other, but simply because a great monopoly was interested in the one case, which was not interested in the other.—(Loud cheers.) They might perhaps apply to such conduct harsh words, to which he would not give utterance. — (Loud cheers.) But if, for the purpose of carrying the - inquiry a little further out, he were to inquire into the history of the public lives of those who were now most vehement in their opposition to truirmeasure—(Cheers)— if they were to compare the division lists on the present occasion with the lists of divisions which had formerly taken place—(Loud cheers)—particularly in the year 1833—(Continued cheering)—they would find some rea son for astonishment, when they found that those very men were the, foremost amongst those who struggled- the most vehemently to prevent the remedying of a great and crying , evil, for the existence of which we were respon sible.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) His inten tion was to show, that there was no inconsistency in their putting an end to slavery, and at the same time giving their support to the proposition on the table of the House. The Ministers had been accused of laying the proposi tion on the table of the House without the least intention of its being carried. Now, he believed that we had arrived at a great commercial, as well as a great financial difficulty at the same time—(Cheers) —in order to make up the revenue necessary for the maintenance of the dignity of the country, in order fully to protect our trade against our rivals. The great towns in England were crying out for a removal of all commercial restric tions, and he fully believed that the Government were fully justified in bringing forward the proposition before the House. The Government had it in their power to prop up the revenue, and at the same time extend the commerce of the country. They intended to meet a greatdeficit, not by making the people poor, but-by making them more comfortable in their circumstances. — (Loud cheers.) He denied that they had thrown before the' House the proposition in any fit of despair. The Government certainly did hope that the budget would have been received better than it had been. They, were perfectly aware that it was utterly out of the question that it could be car ried . by the weight of the Government ' alone ; but they did hope, up to the moment that the Noble Lord the Member for Liverpool gave notice of his mo tion, that there were some persons on the other side of the House who, from patriotic motives, would have come forward, and without relating their generalopposition to the Government, might consider that the proposition of the Government was a satisfactory mode of meeting the difficulties with which they were now beset, and their support would have enabled them to carry the main pro positions of the Budget. That had turned out to be a miscalculation, but he would predict that the time was not far distant when the reform proposed by. the Government would be the l aw of the land. On what ever side of the Hou se h e sa t, those principles would be in the ascendant, and to these he would always continue sincerely attached.—(Hear, hear.) It would not be the first time they had been eager to welcome converts whose reluctant recantation, however tardy, or from whatever motives, had yet appeared w likely eu only further thank the House for their kind He ttenti to promote the public interest.—(Cheers.) and relinquish the other parts of the subject to those w cheers.) - a o , n, ho were better able to do it justice.—(L • Sir G.

He was aston own contend that their efforts to abolish slavery b e aring the name . of the Right Hon. isha and the slave trade, wer e to be confined entirely t o t h e extinction of t h os e evils in our own colonies. He was astonished that that Right Hon. Gentleman should state to the House and country, that their efforts to prevent slavery in other countries was quite Quixotic. The Rig ht Hon.
