It was considered a wretched fight ; and Horns is loiti-out as to any tature contests. Randall and Larkin seconded Burns; and Crib and Shelttin waited On Spring. The odds bad been taken rapidly ; but the would-be kn . /Hying. aaes were completely had.

The fighting of the latter was so excellent, that Gully made him a present of five guineas. From the LONDON GAZETTE of May 16.

Lord CALTHOI4I3 rose to present a petition fron► the Merchants, Manufacturers, &c. of Birming ham complaining of their distressed situation, and praying for iutturry with a view to tl►e adoption of measures for their rtclief. Ills Lordship ob served, that the petition rtiated to ,a subject of the grdatest importance at the presentfinoinent, ,and ono that imperatively called for inquily and Investigation. The petitioners, whilst they ab stained from resorting to any unmanly or despair ing tone, stated in a simple but forcible manner, a case of distress which undoubtedly entitled them to be beatil, and to have their statemeuts fully considered. Even were it certain that no relief could be afforded them, still it would be only evincing a just regard to the sufferings and the complaints of the people to take their case into consideration. With reference, however, to the subject of this petition, having reason to believe that thrExecutive Government had it under their consideration, it was not his intention at the pre sent moment to bring forward any motion of in rluiry, and he should, therefore, conient himself with moving the reading of the petition. The petition was read and ordered to lie upon the table, The Marquess of LANSDOWN, before going into any consideration of the very important question to which this petition referred, wished to ask the Noble Earl opposite whether it was his intention to propose any inquiry upon the subject The Earl of Lavertrool. said, the subject was too important not to have seriously occupied the attention of his Majesty's Government. An in quiry, with their entire consent, was about to be commenced in another place, but they did not think it expedient, for various reasons, to bring forward any motion of inquiry themselves. It was not therefore his intention to move any pro position of that nature ; but if such a motion was. made by any other Noble Lord, and properly mite(' to some specific object that appeared to be attainable, he should have no objection- to it. The Marquess of LANSDOWN, in consequence of what had beets said by the Noble L'arl, and the moving for an inquiry being also declined by the Noble Lord who bad presented the petition, said, he should feel it his duty to bring forward a pro position on an early day for an inquiry into this most important subject. He agreed with the Noble Earl in the expediency of limiting - t:lat in quiry to some point that might be compassed with out difficulty, at least so far as appeaied, vy . iiitout going into a too extensive field of investigation, from which no practical good cou:d be derived.-- He was perfectly aware, that in pledging himself to bring forward such a proposition he had under taken a task fur beyond his means, but feeling it a duty to urge the subject of the distresses of the country in some shape upon their Lordships' at tention, be must persevere in the course he had marked out. Hi proposed to bring-forward his motion on-Friday se'nnigbt, for which day he moved that the Lords be summoned. He intended to limit his motion of inquiry to the practicability of extending our foreign trade. The Earl GROSVaNOR expressed a hope that the inquiry would not be confined to the Manu facturing distress, but that it would be extended, in some shape, to the Agricultural distress of the country, which undoubtedly called for serious in . - vestigation; The earl of LIVRRPOOL, without presuming to limit any inquiry which it might be thought right to enter into, maintained that by far the prefe rable course was that adopted by the Noble Mar ques', of limiting the inquiry iu such a manner that it might lead to some practical result ; were it to'be made general it could lead to no remedy that was at • all likely to he satisfactory. He ad mitted that in some cases it might be expedient to institute an inquiry for the purpose of satisfy ing the people, although it was known before hand,that no practical remedy could result from it. In the present- case, however, a specific ques tion for inquiry had been proposed., and he thought die wisest course would be to confine the itiVe tigation to that inquiry. At the same time, the speeches of Noble Lords need not be limited to than specific point, and be should feel it his duty, when the motion of the Noble Marquess came to he discusird, to go .into a consideration of all the points connected with the dis resses of the country, ve heftier manntactuting or aglicol tural. The Marquess-of LaNstiowN agreed in the pro priety of the course suggested by the Noble Eat and thought it much better to limit the inquiry to the single point he had' proposed, than to mix it up with an investigation of the agricultural dis tresses of the country, %%hid) could lead to no practical result, though he was tar front saying that they did nut form a very fit subject fur The Earl of DARNLBY was anxioni that nothing should go forth to the public, tending to produce a beliet that any remedy could be thuod tor I be agricultural tibtteas ol the country, 115 be titmly ~ ~*: b.) r [PRICE BEVENPENeF, - believed that 1 , 6 such remedy could at the present moment he Aiscovered. Lord tasxt tgi the contrary, was of opinion that should the inquiry be gone iiVO, a very easy and rein - edy could be tound, which would be perfectly efficacious in removing the agricul. fond (listless that now preiied so heavily upon the country. The Earl of LALIbRRDALB deprecated the intro. duction into the inquiry of the agricultural dis tresie4 of the country. The o►►ly consequence Would he, that an immense noniher of persons would press forward to be examined, and it would be irapoisible to come to any conclusion ihat could justify them in practically recommending any mea sure that could have a beneficial effect. The Earl of DoNOUGHMOREt complained of the conduct of the Ministers, in not taking up this subject themselves, instead of throwing it off on the other side of the Howe, who, in tact, had no business with it. The Ministers must, of course, haie the best information upon the subject, other wise they were very unfit for the situations which they- held. . They had ~,the best means 0F obtain lug information, certainly &Itch - better than. Noble Lords on the opposite side of • the House. Why therefore did they not, themselves bring , lot ward an inquiry in that House, which they could so et fectually aid It was their duty to ()Stain all the information that could tend to lead to a know ledge of a bat was hest to be done, and therefore undoubtedly they were the fittest persons to in stitute such an infinity. The Earl of LiverrPoot.- deprecated any prema ture discussion of the question. lie had already slated that it was his intention, on the day for the discussion of the Noble Marquess's motion, to enter into.the consideration of the situation of the country, manufacturing, commetcial, and agri cultural, .and there was no necessity therefore fur entering into that discussion now. It was nu doubtedly the duty of the Executive Govetnnient to obtain every information as to the stale of the country ; and he was perfectly ready to admit that they Would be unfit for their situations if they did not use every means of obtaining such in formation. .But it certainly did not follow Irons thence that they were to institute an inquiry in Parliament which, from the 'nature of it must be less effectual than that inquiry which they could themselves make ; nor ought they to institute such an inquiry in Parliament unless they had previonilymaae up their minds to propose some legislative measure. But it certainly did not follow.. because a great deal of distress existed, that therefore some legislative measure wAs to be pro posed ; the great fault hairbeen that the legisla ture had done too lunch instead of too little, and it was this over anxiety for legislation that had produced some of. the evils which we now de plored, but which it was scarcely possible to re. medy. The Earl GIIO3VENoR maintained, that econo my in the public expenditure was the only ef :ecttial means of remedying the distresses of the country. The Lords were ordered to be summoned for Friday se'nuigbt. EMPLOYMENT OF THE MANUFACTURING POOR. The Order for summoning their Lordships be ing read— Earl STANHOFE rose to bring forward his mo tion respecting the above subject. It was the d u ty o f Parliament, he thougiit, without delay, to take this paramount subject in.° its most se rious consideration—to inquire sedulously into the causes of the present distressed situation of so numerous a portion of the Manufacturing Poor, and to apply remedies wherever such may be deemed practicable. When the House was on fire, his first care should be to extinguish the conflagration,and where sedition was prevalent, to expel the ground or matter of that sedition; and this he thought was the public distresses. To a certain extent, he regarded such as among the causes the French Revolution. In times more prospe rous than those of late years, if any of the recent preachers had ventured to harangue, as they were known to do, they would have beet) pelted by the very boys in the streets as enthusiasts or madmen, but when distress and taxation went hand its hand, even in a period of peace, the case was un happily olberwiie. The manufacturing classes were more especially affected by the present state of the country. The operation of the Poore Rates also was a most grievous burthen. Upon what plinciple, he would ask, of finance or of policy, that taxation should fall. upon one descrip. don of the people and not upon another ? Front the deteriorated state of the manufacturing poor, the number of their children, which long had been a source of profit to them, of late had he come an intolerable burthen. These induced the effect of a superabundanee of population, so that latterly exile was received as a boon. The cir cumstance of the foreign Markets being frequent ly closed against our manufactures was an aggra vation of the calamity, and t o a certain extent the much deprecated continental system was still acted upon, and with a degree of rigour. Ile ad verted to the deteriorated state of the commer ce of Great Britain - with several parts of Gel many— Leipsic in particular; and tie deprecated the re stricted state of our commerce with Austria, s Web he deemed sufficient to warrant a principle of retaliatioo on the part of this country. It was impolitic, he thought, ru any state, to afford ex clusive encouragement to any particular !panel' of manufacture or commerce. With respect to the subject of agriculture, be must say he thought it the teal basis co our national prosperity and power ; those engaged in it were distinguished for the excellence at their conduct and their obe dience to the laws : yet these were unaccounta bly rendered subject to unbnueded and unequal taxation; imposts which operated upon the Whitehall, May 16, 1820.
