Admission Is.—Catalogues Is. ' WILLIAM BARNARD, Keeper. accounts from Calcutta were not- founded upon direct - official information-they were conveyed in private letters. Although they afforded a subject of consider able anxiety, as they were not official, he could not lay them before the House. There was, however, reason to believe, that in a few days there would be accounts direct from Affglihnistan. Mr. MANGLES asked'''the Right pion. Baronet Whether there Was any negotiation- made for a capitula ftion with the Affghamstans, or whether there was any probability of a surrender. Sir ROBERT PEEL said there were no accounts of any negotiation for a capitulation having been entered into, and still less for any surrender. - - `' • CORN-LAW 'REPORT. • -- - Mr; GREENE brought up the Report of the Committee of the whole'llenSe on the Corn-laW Bill. - On the motion that - it be reoeived; . Mr. EDWARD BULLER wished to impress upon the House the great importance of bringing the quea tion of the Corn-laws to a- speedy termination. It was only from his conviction that the •• measure of the Government would not give satisfaction, and would effect 'nothing towards allaying , the restlessness and. . discontent that had allaying began to show themselves, that he was induced to over come his reluctance to address the HouSe. He had no . doubt - but - that, if the question had been merely between' him and the Right 'Honourable Baronet oppo site, their difference would be found to be a narrow one. The Right Honourable Baronet admitted, with him ; that the agriculturist should be protected to a certain, point only ; but the Ri g ht H on . B aronet went f urt h er, and said that when corn had reached a certain point the interest of the consumer only should he consulted. The main point at issue between him and the Right Hon. Baronet was, as to wheth e r the duty should become fixed when the price rose to a certain amount. That was the question at issue between him and the Right Hon. Baronet ; but the question between him and the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Dorchester, and .the .Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Kent, was much narrower ; they said :that a fixed"titity would 'be the. best -plan, provided it could be maintained. He (Mr. E. Buller) had to show that a fixed duty Could be maintained. But as he had undertaken to 'bring forward a scale and place it iii competition with the state or the . Right Hon. Baronet, he felt it his duty to point out what he considered to be the defects in the Right Hon. Gentleman's scale. The great, difference between the scale proposed by the Right :Honourable Baronet, and his (Mr. E. Buller's) was, that whereas the Right Honourable Baronet proposed to withdraw the duty when the price of wheat rose to 695., he (Mr. E. Buller) proposed that it should be maintained. The Right Honourable Baronet admitted that the present law had acted with undue - se verity on the consumer, and had held out sufficient in ducement to make the holders .of corn in bond withhold it from the market ;- but he said that the plan' which he proposed would effectually reduce that inducement to fraud, and that the new proposal_ would° net therefore haVe the effect of the old law: Here he (Mr. E. Buller) joined issue with the Right Hon. Gentleman, and he would tell the Right Hon. Gentleman that though -he had lowered the in ducement to franc], yet, inasmuch as he had left the maximum of price, and the minimum of duty where they Were ; before, - he had afforded no assistance what ever. to the consumers when prices were high. The Right Hon. Gentleman said that corn would be in troduted-when it was wanted, and not until then. He said the reservoirs would be always kept full, and never . -overdow ; but suelt;svas the • language held by all the advocates of former sliding scales. It was the language of - Mr: '• Canning in 1827, and- of the -Noble Lord wild brought forward the present scale in 1828: 'He (Mr. B.) was of epinion that the.' present' scale would hold. out no greater inducement than the. one it was intended to supersede. 'On comparing, the two scales, he found th a t w h en t h e pr i ce was 715., an inducement was held out under the one ,scale, to the holder of c orn i n b o nd, to keep back his teorn, because he had a 'prospect of ss. gain in the duty, and of one in 'the article: - Now, in the one base, • there • was a prospect of gain of 55., and in the Other there . was a' prospect ,of :loss ; and he 'would .ask would not a prudent man be as likely U6t to bring corn to the market iii: 'One case as in the other. The 'only difference was, 'that the trade Would be carried on to • a ,greater extent. In 1841 the price was 725. Bd., the duty 2s. Bd. There Were at that time in bond, no less thar 1,500,000 quarters of corn ready to' come into the market. Of that quantity, only 8,000 quarters wereintroduced at a duty of 2s. Bd. On the. Gth September the price was 725. l Id. There was at that time on board, ready, te be brOught into the market, no less than 1,200,000 quarters ; but of that quantity.2B,ooo. quarters only were introduced at a duty of 2s. Bd. In November, 1831, there Were in bond 200,000 quarters ; the price' regulating ihe duty was 725. 6d. the duty was 2s. 3d. but 1,003 quarters only were introduced. •In the first week of Nov., 1823, the price , governing the duty was 7')s. 2d., the duty itself 2s. Bd. There were at that time between 400,000 and 500,000 quarters of corn ready for the market ; but out of that quantity only 1,000 were introduced. These facts showed that the- pros-, poet of 'the gain of '2B. Bd. was sufficient to coun teract the effect of the Right Hon. Baronet's scale. Perhaps it might be said that that was 'not so much owing to the amount as to the certainty with which the corn dealers can engage in their trade. It, might be said, too, that this certainty arose from the combinations that at present existed among the corn dealers,but when the law - was altered corn would pass through a greater number of hands, and there would not be so great an inducement tdcombine, while combination 'would be more difficult. He did not believe in the combination of the corn-dealers; he did not think it possible that they could combine, so as to' produce this result. At the same time the effect of the law was precisely the same as if the combination did actually exist, and the re sults that looked like combination would equally exist un der the law of the Right Hon: Gentleman. He would venture to say that whenever the price rose to a certain. amount, it indicated a necessity of a foreign supply, and that the duty must fall to the lowest point. - He would ven ture' to assert that 665. was a price that indicated the necessity of a foreign supply. There was not a single instance in which, when the price had reached GC-s. it had failed to rise to the naximuns price: Before the last harvest, in 1838, )n the 19th of' July, the price was 665. 6d. ; on tha 18th of October it was 665. again ; on the 17th of of December it was 725. ; on the 20th of August, 1841, it was 745. 7(1.-(Cries of ".Divide.") His object in referring to ' these fluctuations was to show that under the scale of the Right Honourable Baronet, when the price was 665. there was an inducement to the, holder of bonded corn to keep it back until the price reached 735., so that the Right Ho nourable Baronet must fail in his calculations. There was an artificial 'inducement ,of ss. to keep corn in bond, under the propoSed measure of the Right Honourable Baronet, and that was sufficient to force the price up 'to 735. It was clear that :the operation ()HIM sliding- scale' at' the prsent Was'to force the , price up to 735., and the - proposed scale would undoubtedly have the same tendency ; and if they wished to afford any relief to the consumer, and at the same time to maintain the slidirq; scale, the only way to. do so would be to lower their inaximum price. Therewere, in fact, four locks on the door keeping corn in bond, and. the master key unlocking the whole of them, was the maximum price. The Right Honoul'able Baronet had I removed two of the locks, and contended that by se doing he was facilitating the opening of the door. He (Mr. E. Buller)' contended that 'the two locks remaining would be amply sufficiently to keep the property secure, and that under the new sliding scale, as under. the old one, the door would only openon the application of the master key, 'Which was the maximum price and the minimum duty. He - would next say a few words on the scale' of the Right Hon. Baronet. If that Right Hon. Gentleman still adhered to the views he had expressed .on former occasion, thi s scale would not only not benefit the consumer, but would fail in 'the other ob jects which it had it in view. His (Mr. Buller's) propo sition of having a duty of 6s. when wheat was at 345. a quarter, would have the - effect of giving to the country the hbsolute advantages of a free trade in corn. His proposition would materially improve the scale of the Right-Hon. Baronet; inasmuch as during the time the country was supplied Ircini - the 'lcome growth the highest price was G4S. He could not 'propose a fairer test of his Proposition, and the measures of the Government, than 'to show what would have been their comparative effects in the last year. In the early part of 1841 the price of corn was gradually . and steadily rising, but not a quarter_ of corn was let into the market, nor would there have 'been if the Right Honourable Baronet's scheme was in full operation. But there were at that time 558,000 quar ters of corn in bond, which had been bought at Dantzie for 40s. a quarter, and which, with the cost of freight and other charges • would have been sold in the British markets for 565. exclusive of duty, and the whole quan tity would have been let in. The revenue and the consumer would both be benefitted by the scale which he submitted for the approval of the the House ; and the markets would be relieved at an earlier period, He confessed that the proposed law would be as oppressive as the present one, and if they were to fix the time when the duty was to vanish, it would have precisely the same effect as the scale laid on the table by the Right Hon. Gentleman, for it would have the effect of forcing prices up to a p o i nt where the duty would vanish. It they,adopted the scale which he (Mr. E.

TO COMMERCIAL GENTLEMEN.—Having been informed that it is very generally circulated i the various Commercial Rooms in the country, more particular'y those of South Wales, that I had, by way of securing a debt from a customer in the latter district, obtained a parcel of hats. after he was declared a bankrupt, thereby causing every ho est man justly to express his indignation at such conduct. I feel it due to my character as a tradesman, to adopt the present mode of contradiction, by saying that such a report is whol y without foundation, as 1 would scorn such an act of injustice ; and further I beg most distinctly to . state that. I have r.ot tra velled in Wales for several years past, neither have I had any transaction whatever with the individual in question. After this explanation I hope my commercial friends (having been myself a commercial traveller 21 years) will thoroughly exone rate me from such a dishonourable and injurious charge. It must therefore belong to some other person. _ J(►HN R. HARDING. London Hat Warehouse, 60, Wine -street, Bristol. PUBLICATIONS. GISBORNE ON THE CORN-LAWS. Price 6d., or 303. per 100.

TOSS OF LIFE BY FIRE, which is often in -4 creased in Lotal Situations for want of an Engine or an immediate supply of water.—J. READ begs to inform' the public, and every person interested in the protection of pro perty from fire, that he has invented FIRE ENGINES of va rious dimensions, that will discharge from 20 to 40, 70, or 123 gallons of water per minute. The valves being spherical solid metal, can never get out of repair, but if standing by for years, would be ready to act in an instant. In situations where water is not within reach of an engine, a supply might be obtained (so as to be always ready in case of fire) by sinking a tank or re servoir, in the ground outside of mansions, public buildings, &c., to receive the water from the roof, which would insure a supply in case of emergency, also for domestic purposes. Thus, with additional hose of a sufficient length, water may be con veyed to any part of a mansion in a few minutes. Engines adapted for the abive, likewise for all Horticultural Purposes, may be seen and proved at the Patentee's, 35 Regent-circus, Piccadilly.

SPIRIT - , of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TLIE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Mr. Feargus . ,O'Connor; addressing his Chartist admirers the other day in larylebone said, the " cry was that there were t o o man y mou th s to feed. But if the* Corn-laws were repealed to-morrow, no good would accrue to the working classes, who Would, not have bread one halfpenny cheaper. The only g o od it would do would he to make' the manufacturers and the millocrats greater tyrants than they were at present. —(Loud cheers.) Instead of going to foreign countries : for corn, they could grow it all at home on the unculti vated land,' and give employment to the surplus popu lation." We might find , our apology for noticing lan guage like this in the fact that it is not at all worse than the House of Commons hears with complacency. But we have a better reason for noticing it than any qua lity of its own. It expresses apprehensions which find some echo (though a weaker and weaker)'in the minds of many of the working classes. The repeal of the Corn laws presents itself to their minds as calculated to ag gravate that competition of labour emigrating from the rural districts, which is already complained of in the towns, and to depress still farther its already de , pressed and precarious remuneration. We have said that this apprehension shows itself less and. less actively in opposition to the repeal of the Corn-laws, and, indeed, seldom shows itself at all in any spontaneous. expression from the lips of the work ing classes. Yet it is a key which may be still struck with some effect, though in general the direct and palpable pressure of the Corn-laws on the working classes now outweighs their fears of indirect evils from their repeal. It may not, therefore, he useless` to point tout what the work-people apprehend from the repeal of the Corn-laws is precisely what is taking place during their continuance! It is very true that the sudden and total repeal of the Corn-laws.might .produce that sudden and extensive deprivation of em ployment in the rural districts, which would send their labourers 'to compete with the already de+. pressed labour - of the towns. This effect, - if pro duced, would be the consequence of a panic amongst the farmers, which, however excessive, we. should think it highly impolitic to. create. We are not, therefore, for the sudden and total repeal of the Corn= laws. We. are convinced that no augmentation of our imports • which could possilly take place would make up the deficieney which would be caused by any considerable reduction of our home-growth.. The fears of our farmers greatly magnify the available sources of importation. We should be more in dan ger of dearth than excess from any.sudden and sweep- . ing measure. • • • - STANDARD.—Lord Campbell introduced into the Houseef Lords last night three Bills relating to. Law Morin: These .Bills may be very good Bills (we think that some of their provisions are impracti, cable), but they will fall very far short of satisfying the public expectation of a reform in __the _administra tion .of .the law. Lord Campbell's measures merely.. contemplate some changes in the exercise of the appel late jurisdictions of the 'Privy Council and the House of Lords; matters abbut which 999 out of every 1,000. of the people 'do not care, and have no reason, to care, one farthing. But thus it is always—" the fly on one's nose eclipses the distant mountain ;" and, Noble Lords and eminent lawyers think nothing so important as what concerns themselves, or what comes under their. immediate cognizance. Accordingly, Session after. ,Session we have Bills for the reform of the appellate jurisdiction and' the higher Courts of Equity, while the monstrous abuses of the inferior departments in the law are left untouched. Prom Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham, however, we expect something better ; they• are both, in the ho nourable sense 'of the phrase, men of the world ;" they have seol and are capable of judging, of mat• 'tern beyond' the limits of the, particular. courts in which they have practised or presided. The law, or rather the .unreformed administration of the law, is, however, a tyrant, and the only tyrant, in this country ; it fulfils all the conditions of ty ranny—no man's liberty, or property, or fame, is safe from it ; .and it goes beyond the evils of other tyranny- in this, that its cruelties and op pressions are not the suggestions of individual caprice, which must be to a great extent limited in its activity, but the suggestions of the capriee, the cupidity, or the malice of thousands. This is the enemy with which a law reform must grapple, and it is an enemy not unworthy of the arms o f Sir Robert Peel, Lord Lyndhurst, and Lord Brougham. The people may not clamour for law reform as for .other re- . forms ; but this is because the habitual clamourers are of a class already ruined, and who have nothing-to fear from tyranny, whatever they may hope from dis, order ; while the classes above them are ashamed to confess their hostility to the administration of the law, lest they be suspected of having suffered from it in a country where " poverty is infamous,". It is this dread of confessing poverty which guards the mon strous extortion to which persons in humble rank, and in circumstances in the last degree embarrassed, are exposed in England more than in any other country in the world. The feeling is not a dishonourable one, and it has proved eminently useful as a stimulant to frugality and in dustry ; but it exists here in a far higher degree than elsewhere, and therefore it is the duty of the British legislature to protect from extortion and oppression those who are*ashamed to' complain, and without complaining cannot protect themselves. Such protection, however, cannot be afforded without a severe revision of the details of the administration' of the law, and an unsparing removal of all the instru ments of rapacity that time and the arts of greedy and dishonest men have :accumulated ; without, 'in short, a thorough reform of the administration of the law through all its departments, and all its suber dinations. This we expect froni Sir Robert,, Peel's Government; and we expect it with more anxiety from the conviction that, if Sir Robert Pea decline the enterprise, no other statesman will .ever. embrace it, and the country must wait for the worst of all pos sible remedies. What that is it is neither necessary nor pleasant to say. MONEY MARKET &nd CITY NEW HERALD.—The public are evidently becoming more favour ably disposed towards investments in railway and other shares, as evinced by the greater demand for them, which is experienced in the market, and the advance in prices corresponding. It it quite clear that, without at all presuming to predicate the final profitable. ness of all the industrial home enterprises afloat, there can be no mistake in assuming their superior solidity and preferableness fur investment over 'almost any description of foreign speculation. STATE OF TRADE. (!'rtir the Tilanchester Guardian.) . . MANCHESTEII.—The announcement of advances by the Bank Of England at a lower rate of interest, which Wa, expected by many parties to exercise a 'favourablein t-luence upon our market, has, so tpx, produced no effect whatever ; for prices. still continue. to. droop,: and goods and yarn were both sold yesterday. on lower terms than were. ever kncwn' before. The concessions thus made by 'the spinners had - some little - effect 'in bringing pur chasers into the market, and a rather increased amount of busineis was done at the reduced rates. For goods, on the contrary, the demand was extremely limited ; and, notwithstanding the' extremely low prices, pur chasers seemed disposed to take nothing but what was necessary .to supply their immediate ant pressing wants. _ _ kOC --- 11DALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 28.

For, these reasons, .he _could ;lot give his assent to the proposal of the Hon. Gentleman. Mr. HASTIE said it was quite evident from the man ner in manner in which the Right Vein: BarOnet had explained his views of what he (Mr. • Hastie). had said that the Right Hon.

For instance, the whole quan tity imported this year did not exceed 700,0.00 quarters. Sir R. PEEL would beg leave to ask-for an exp/ana don from the Hon. Gentleman. Suppose there was no corn in bond, and that the 31st of December had ar rived without any quantity being imported, accor di ng to the Hon: Gentlenien's proposition the two million quar ters should then he imported free of duty.
