One of the' misfortunes attending the qgjtation of this problem at this time is, that'it is - the first topic to open the eyes of the Public to our red situation, and to destroy the illusions which fools and sham-patriots land conjured up as the Ph mediate results - of Peaee. The People find that the golden age is not to have a mira- Culous commencement, and the misguided por tion of the pop u lation, instead of looking. pa tiently to the gradual return of pacific blessings, are in a state peculiarly liable tobe agitated, though it arises out of disappointment occasioned only by their own senseless expectations. Ought not public men, therefore, (whether in Parliament, at Meetings, in the Press,) to be guarded in their tone and manner ?. Ought they to flare the torch.?s of their eloquenee or compositions abroad, as if they were enlightening a silvan security, in stead of stalking amid combustiblei of the most terrific description ? We appeal from their pas sions to their sense--:-the crisis of Peace is, strange to say, the most trying and dangerous to these Realms, and it well befits every good Citizen co beware how he wai4s in these perilous times. The real patriot will resort only to consti tutional means to obtain what he deems es sential to the general welfare, and knowing that the redress of all grievances is within these means, he will spew by his moderation and tem perance how highly he prizes them. He %will leave the mischievous work of inflaming the populace to Westminster Meetings, and while these put the • internal tranquillity of the Metropoli s to a wicked test, he will prove to the deluded, by his example, that legal steps alone, firmly and unanimously taken, are sufficient to attain all that is required. We are inclined to believe (what we hope will be the event of the Measare now under the consi deration of Parliament) that the rate proposed as the minimum for allowing the import a ti on o f Grain for Hoine consumptioo will be lowered before the Bid passes into a Law. Should this be the case ; should 76 shillings, instead of SOs. he determined on as" the protecting price, there are many weighty and important reasons to induce the Country, and even those who may think this rate still too high, to be 'satisfied with the arrangement. Nor 'are th ese reasons confincd to the side of the agriculturist ; many of them are strong in favour 4.Z the poorest of the people. Among Others, we may enumerate an assured and constant supply of sustenance in the market, market, at a price never rising to an enormous pitch—a settled - state of internal policy and traffic —no cause why provisions should rot be much cheaper than the boundary marked out, though it amounts almost to a certainty that they will not be dearer, for the importation and warehousing, at all times duty free, will protect the - consumer from the efict of home monopoly—a greater employment of the labouring class in agricultural labours—and a number of other advantages which would be happily felt in the invigoration of our whole political system.

It had been said, he understood, thitt the" , were great doubts as to the state of public upon thiS topic,. bat if he was not grossly ulisinformed, the public feeling was never more decided than upon'this question. His opi niOn upon this siihjeet, remained the same, and he should omit no opporthnity of expressing it. Above all, however, no precipitation oitglil to be used, nu precipitation ought to appear in the for warding of 'she!) a measure—a Jneasure which bi.z . volved so deeply the vital interests of the peop!e.

The Report was agreed to.—Adjourned tilt Monday. RIOT AT IPSWICH. Ipswrcu, MARcrr 3.—Tuesday se'nnight about 20 persons of the labouring class collected toge ther in a riotous,manner in the parish of Gosbecli, near this town, and destroyed two threshing ma chines, and titrateed to destroy many others.— As soon as the Magistrates were informed there of, they took the most. decided steps to suppress these unwarrantable and illegal proceedings.---On Saturdaymornirig, eight men were conveyed to our gaol from Gosbeek, for breaking the abovo thresh ing machines ; two of them were permitted to find bail. On the Magistrates leaving the gaol, Sir 11 7 m. MinDLEToig was surrounded by the popu lace, who hooted and pelted him till he took re fuge in the Great White Horse Intl . ; and the ad joining street was filled with, disorderly people, who stood debating on the Corn Bill till late in the evening; nor was Sir WILLIAN able to retire home to Shruhland-hall (escorted by a number of constables and dragoons) tilt 10 o'clock l at night, when the tumultuous ninitkude had dispersed.

Tle hoped for further delay. The Petition prayed that the proposed mea sures be not enacted at the present time. Much alarm had been naturally excited among the people. Whatever might be the result, the peor le believed the object at present was to raise, and not to lower prices. . • Lord G. B.ERESFORD presented a Petition from the County of Waterford, favourable to alterations in the Corn Laws. The Oxford Drainage Bill tray ordered to be read a second time on Tuesday. A Bill was read the first liine for supply ing Edinburgh with water. • Sir W. CURTIS moved the second reading of the Rams gate Thirbour Bill, which occasioned a long conversation be tween the lion. Baronet; Mr. P. Moore, Sir C. Monek, Ser jeant Best, Mr. Lambtob, Sir 11. Montgomery, Sir;..linatch- bull, Alderma n A t ki ns, S i r J. Newport, Gen.Gascoyne, &c.

Mr. CitOKER brought in a 13111 for regulating the M ar i ne Service on sh or e. B ea d a fi rst time ;'to tO be read the second time on IllOnday. " • • CORN BILL. On the motion of the Chancellor of the chequer that this Bill he read a seconatime ; Mr. LAMBTON deprecated the haste with which such an important measure was attempted to be hurried through its stages, and stated that front his conviction of the propriety and necessity of delay,, it was his intention to move, tliat instead_ ofinow, the Bill be read a second time this day six. mouths. He - would never consent that a mea : - sure should pass that noose agitinst which the voice of the people had been so generally and un etonvocally expressed. Mr. J. 'Snif-fo 'was also in fa•otir of delay. He observed that the distress of the fanner had been. great, from th e di stress o f cr e d i t, and bin fron t the quantity of Corn imported. The Corn of our last harvest was'alsO of an inferior quality, by ichiCh the farmer .had Sustained a l oss. I t h ad - been' asserted that this country could grow Corn enough for its own consumption : he was of this opinion, though the quantity produced in the last two years might justify a contrary inference. As our pdpulation had so greatly increased within the last tea or twelve years as, to amount to se- venteen or eighteen 'mottled thousand more than when the preceding centum was taken—ot , course an increase of agriculture was necessary for their subsistence. When, therefore, it was clear that thiS subject affected the whole population of the country, he thought that much more time ought to be given to the consideration of it than it had yet received, if-it were only to.obtain the sense of the country, by the reception of the numerous Pe titions that were in preparation. The subject of the average bad not, in his opinion, undergone sufficient discussion. It was also desirable tab) hear further evidence, that the House might see its way. more fully. He had read the evideucept last year ; and was not coin inced from it, that the protecting price ought to be 80s.; because the persons who so expressed themselves, had formed their opinion from the state of the taxes, and the price of labOnr at the time. If labour should fall 15 or 20 per cent. unquestionably the far mer would be benefitted, and enabled to sell his Corn at a cheaper rate. He thought that a fall in the &ice of labour was inevitable; for th9ugh •
