If the Committee took the distresses of the Agriculturists into consideration, surely it did not thereby in jure the poor. nor raise the price of the necessa t ies of life. He tri,4ed that no slid) impression - would go abroad, for it was unfounded. Mr. H. SUMNER said, that the testilt of the debate was to him, as well as to many, a matter of surprise. He would not object to having the appointment of the Committee postponed until eveoing He had indeed shewn,his list of the tammittte to lais Noble Fr lurid the Secretary for Foreign Atf , tirs, who had shewn him one, and time variance between them Was but trivial, only in a fete names of no political consequence. Abliongb there could not be much objection to the Members whom he had selected, he was not unfavourable to the postpooemeut of the nomination. Lord CASTLEREAGH Said, t hat the list which he b a d s h e yt o t o 1 1 :s Hon. Ft lend was one for the names of the Metobers who might have been chosen in case the Committee for the limited pur pose already sated had been agreed to. But the statues had not been written for a General Com mittee, such as the House had in reality agreed to appoint.

AGRICULTURE. liotToa—As 1 see in the Newspapers of this day that there is to be a Committee to in-' qiiire into the Agricultural Distress of the Coun try, I beg leave zo observe nothing that the Com mittee can do will be equal to the dividing Farms into 100 or 150 Acres each. Al! that the Landholders can say, is, that they have let the buildings go: down I can tell them in answer, that it will take very little ►o erect as many build- jogs as are wanting to a farm of that size. Farmers want no Drawing or Music Rooms, as they can find much better employment for their ions and daughters. May :;,). A SHROPSHIRE MAN. P. plain way to pay ten-pence- in.stead of ten- shilling Poor Rates. Let a Fox-hunting Farmer have 1500 acres.of, laud, and see what he gets from that land per year, anti the number of people he employs and sap ports.—Put the rime quantity of land into the hands of 10 industrious Farmers, and they will em ploy ten times as many people, and the land will produce six times as much for the use of man, as it now produces, and every ..bncly that can work would find employment ; for instead of the labour ing man's childrep being sent 'to the Poor-house, or grtting relief from the Parish, as at present, the Farmer would put them to weed the corn, pick strits, grass or stones, or mind the bitch, and by such employment they would earn their bread, with the assistance of a jug of skimmed milk, which they always got from the small Farmers, for their own suppers, and the little ones that could not wotk. Now, if any of these little folks should go to the great Farmers, in hopes of get ting a little skimmed milk, they are told they have not enough milk for their master's dogs, and it is ten to one if the few rags they have on are not pulled off their backs by the grayhounds, pointers, setters, and spaniels,'which are-kept for the great Farmer's amusement, and to kill their landlord's game. THE FUNDS. This morning at three o'clock a number of the principal Brokers assembled at the door of the Baiik of England. The door Was not opened till six ; t wo hundred were then present, who the passage up to the Cashier's Office, ,Hor of ivilich WLIS not oiened till ten, and then they were only admitted two at a time. Their impatience, however, was so great, that they broke the door off the binges ; fortunately no accident occurred. The first ten names sub scribing their Exchequer Bills filled up the whole 7,000,000, and if '2O 000,000 had been wanted, it would have been had with the seine facility. Exchequer Bills, which were at 12s. pr. this morning, es soon as the Loan was filltd fell to par. Consols opened this morning at 701 and at one o'clock were at 704. Five per Cents at cue o'clock, were at 1041. The New Five per Ceut. Subscription was at per Cent. pretniurn. [ANOTHER ACCOUNT.] Eleven o'Cloelc.—This being the appointed day for the opening of the Books to the Subscribers of the Sever► Millions of Exchequer Bills, as early as 9 o'clock in the mottling the avenues leading to the Office of Mr. HASP. were crowded to excess, all eager to have the first dip of the pen ; at length their patience became exhausted, and the great pressure, the moment the door was opened, literally took it from off its hinges ; but happy we are to say that no material accident oc curred, except some of them had their clothes torn, and a fen• their arms grazed. We unde'rst dud a few eminent houses have already subscribed 3 millions, amongst which is a SZotch 131,inking lionFe, so that !here only remaiuk4 millions to be divided amongst the Public, which there is no doubt will be subscribed before the close Of the day. Last night Exchequer Bills were done at to 14s. pr. and this ,morning they are at 51. prem. owing to the scarcity of money. Navy 5 per Cents. for the Opening with Dividend are 134 H, Consols for the Account, 704-. Twelre o'Clock—The whole of the 7 millions are already subscribed by 19 eminent houses of the City and Stock ExchAnge ; Conwis 70 to 70k, market looking heavy. We have had no arrival of Paris Papers this morniog. Letters from St. Thomas's arrived to-day lof the 15th ult., but they bring uo furtinr hews from the Spanish Main. The Conversation, rather than Debate, which 11 1 ols place yesterday in the House of Lords, is sufficiently noticed iu our Parliamentary Report. Load ..ELLEzinottonott,if he is not to be absolutely 4ankett with' Opposition, seems rather di;p6sed towards that side of the House. Lord LIVERPOOL opposed the Amendment respecting the Moits of the Admiralty, urging the delicacy due to the Crown in relation to the Civil List, anti the Majority in favour of Ministers was SI to 21. The subject of debate in the House of Com mons was of much 'greater importance as to the Agricultural State of the country. We agree with those who support the Corn Bill, that it would be highly dangerous to make any altera . tions'except with the utmost and most egm i ons deliberation. Mr. BROUGHAM made an excellent 'speech in favour of Mr. SUMNER's motion for a Select Committee to examine and report the several Petitions relented to the House,. and on a division, the Majority against Ministers was 49. " DOVER, MAY 30.—Arrived this morning the Lord Sidnioath, Captain PEAKE, with passengers from Calais, among whom was Mr. CARLO FORTE (with Dispatches from HER MAJESTY. the 9 fr ossEN Of ENGLAND), who immediately proceeded to town.—Sailed this morning for Calais the.

CORN EXCHANGS, MAY 31.—A considerable quantity of IVheat remainedhom Monday's sup ply, for which there was little detmind this morn ing, but although the sales were heavy, the same prices were obtained as on i\londty, but only the finest qualities found buyers ; Barley continues very dull sale, the demand diminishing daily, the supply large for this period of the season ; Oats support Monday's prices, but the snies were tar fruit brisk ; in Beaus and Peas there is no alte ration. FOR TFIC ROMAN CATHOLICS. EDITOR , —At hough I am aware our telltia mots upon the Roman Catholic Question do not coincide, I appeal to your impartiality for the in sertion of the following Letter Religious Liberty is so important a blessing that its culti vation and extension in a free Country ought to be promoted by every possible means. I have ever considered the Catho lic Question as the grand rallying point fur all those who wish well to the glorious Cause to which I have alluded ) and it is not a little singular that upon this Question the avowed Advocates for Religious Liberty are divided, and do not ap pear to be conscious of the advantage which this disunion gives to the declared Enemies of Constitutional Freedom. It is no less singular also, that those who have opposed the just flaims.of our Catholic Brethren are the nearest assimilated, both in practice and principles, to the very men whom they wish to exclude from the benefits of our free Constitutiou Protestant Dissenters should consider, that by standing aloof, and not malting common cause with the Catholics, they are materially injuring themselves ; fur they can never ex pect the Legislature to annul those arbitrary and absurd re strictions with which they are fettered, whilst those which keep their Catholic grethren out of the pale of the Consti tution are in clistence. What are Catholics in this Country but Dissenters, and why should Protestant Dissenters refute to make common cause with Catholic Dissenters, in endeavour nig to effect the repeal of Laws which mutually oppress them ? I detest Bigotry of all descriptions, whether in a Church or Chapel ; and cannot too strongly express my regret that the infatuated And blotted opimsition which has so long suc cessfully reoutted the admission of our Catholic Fellow-sub jects into a tree part icipm i , in of the benefits of our Constitu tion, has nut been confined to what are usually called " High Churchmen;" that Fellow Dissenters and Fellow•Sutrerers should juin in the senseless clamour, is an althumly indeed.— Let us turn helm vs men, and lend an \helping hand in promoting the " Consuanuation" so devoutly to be wished.

Mr. ErnToa,—Your general attention to the interests of the Connii:i, iit alt its branches, irt duces me to hope that you. will give insertion to the following Letter, which appeared in The Maidstone Journal of Tuesday. A FRIEND TO AGRICULTCRE. [From The _Maids:one Journal.] " Mr. Editor-Having been in the habit for these last twenty years. of perusing your intelli gent and widely cif-ciliated Paper, 1 ant induced to request . your insertion of tire following letter:--- In consr-quence of a Petitiow to Government, sign ed by many of the principal Landholders in this County, stating the difficulty they should find in paying the Hop Doty at the present depressed state of the Agricultural interest, Government were in duced to accommodate their wishes, by Order ing the payment of the Duty at three different instalments. The Hop Planters felt grateful to Government for the indulgence ; but to their great surprise, they heard tinst on payment of the first instalment a Ilond would be required, as a security for the remainder. The hardship of this measure was represented to Government, and they felt little-doubt of being relieved trom the expence of the bond, H. 3s. ; the hardship of this is so apparent, part inularly to the little Pla.n ters, the security, in fact, being no better wr a th the bond than without it, that the Planters still. hope that Government will order the ex pence of the bond to be deducted from the next payment of Duty. In fact, it is well known, that many of the little Planters, whose whole . Doty did not amount to ten pounds, had to pay' It. 33. for this bond. In truth, it would ap pear that the Excise could hardly contemplate the bond being insisted on, as in many cases they had no bond for the Planter to sign, thotigh they insisted on the expence of the bond being paid, nor would the Excise even allow a certain number of the very small Planters to' be included in one bond. Government are, in tact, lending the Plait; ter money at the rate of twenty - and thirty per cent.: the expence of the bond, to large PiAnters, may be of little consequence, but to the smaller ones it is exceedingly oppressive. Surely Govern ment will grant relief in this instance—at present the bond cuts with the sharp edge of Shylock's knife. " A HOP PLAN VER."

SHOCKING ACCIDI3NT.-00 the night of Satur day last, Thomas Taylor, a watchman, at a Alill, in Stanningley, end one James Coates, called at the house of James Dowgiil, to light a pipe, when his trile was sat with a child across her knee, and another at her breast. Taylor had a loaded plsto! in his pocket, which he took out, and Coates (who was it► liTior).observing it to be at ton cock, said it was dangerous, and got it from Taylor to place at half cock ; when It instantly went off, mid di charged part of the contents, consisting of shot, into one of the children., a. boy Iwo years old, by which It was severely wonnd ed, and died on Sunday night. The mother is also torch injured, but the other infant escaped harm.
