In 1812 the French manufactories used thirty-five millions kilog. of wool; at present they use fifty millions ! Then only 10,362 kilog. of cotton were spun; in 1825 , the cotton spun amounted to 28 millions of kilogrammes. In 1814 France manufac tured one hundred millions kilog. of Iron; in 1825 the amount was one hundred and sixty millions. In 1824 only a milieu(' kilog. of coal were extracted from the mines; in 1825, more than one thousand five hundred millions. Another proof of the pro gress of commercial transactions would be found, , according to M. Dupin, in the produce of the stamp tax, which in 1818 amounted to only twenty-one millions, and rose to thirty in 1825. In order to calculate the progress of intellectual powers, which could not be calculated according to the ordinary manner, M. Dupin has recourse to the excellent statistics of the book trade, which the Count Darn has lately published. According to that, the number of printed sheets for the book trade properly so called, not including the journals and other inferior works of the press, which have not the form of a book, would have been — In 1814 45,675,031 In 1820 ... 80,921,302 1815 55,549,149 1825.-128,010,483 1816 66,852,883 1826... 144,561,094 Thus, from 1814 to 1820, and, what is more sur prising, from 1820 to 1826, the productions of the press have increased in the proportion of about from five to nine, and are now the triple and more of what they were twelve years since.—Eloile. PUBLIC DISTRESS. • How little the first inventors of many arts suspect the important effects upon society they are instru mental in producing. Glass kyads opened the way for the conquest of South America. The art of making cutlery facilitated the establishment of our power in India. The knowledge of the compass caused the discovery of the New World; and the Art of Printing has caused the regeneration of the Old. When the inventor of steam-engines first in tended to render them a substitute for water or horses, he little thought of the moral influence of his invention; that if applied to navigation, it would virtually alter the geography of nations, bring almost together those previously distant, and intimately connect in social and political communion federal and disjointed States. As relates to Great Bdtain, steam navigation has actually been as a bridge be tween England and Ireland, and is about to bring home to England the lesson that she must suffer by her own injustice, and that if she does not elevate Ireland in the scale of nations,,lreland will inevitably lower her. A century of philosophy and abstract reasoning could not have so clearly illustrated this position, as steam navigation has done in a few years. Historians and politicians have been lost in spe culation concerning the swarms of people which we are told issued from the Northern hive. The exam ple of modern Ireland has solvedthe problem. • It is proved that population increases with poverty and social degradation ; and that in depriving men of all possibility of obtaining any of the superfluities or comforts of existence, you deprive them of that fore sight which, before undertaking the cares of a family, considers how to provide for its subsistenCe. Ex cessive poverty is a source of excessive population. Hitherto the sea operated as a dam to arrest the tor rent of pauperism overflowing upon England, but steam navigation has now made a channel through which it will overflow and inundate that country. The lesson is at last brought home to the very doors of Englishmen—that, in self-defence, they must now do something for Ireland. But what will they do with the multitude of poor which en cumber us at home, and now threaten to swarm upon England ? Emigration is a palliative : it may afford a partial relief, but a pauper population will more than replace it. Beside, it is the most improved and industrious portion of the community who will avail themselves of it—even the converts will, in self-defence, become emigrants! No radical benefit can be obtained by emigration. The object should be to render the condition of the people better in the country, not to send them out of it. Public works may be useful to a certain extent, but still even these must be local and limited in their operation. A system of Poor Laws, avoiding its defects as prac tised in England; a system which would make it necessary for the resident, and particularly the non resident proprietors, either to support the poor or to diminish their number by bettering theire b condition. This This has been suggested originally we Dr. Grattan, and is, we confess, hourly gaining ground in public opinion. It must do good as far as it goes, but we confess that without ameliorating the general political condition, we have no reliance upon any measure—although, in conjunctio n with political amelioration, this and many other mea sures may have great practical efficacy. A re we asked, what do we call political amelioration ? We answer—first, equal laws—second, an equal and impartial administration of them. The for mer can only be accomplished by abrogating the penal statutes—the latter, by withholding all situa tions of a judicial or civil character from political partizans. It is said—what ! feed the Irish poor by giving a few dozen situations of trust and emolu ment to the Catholics ? Softly, shallow cavillers ! If equal civil privileges are indeed so insignificant is their nature as to be no' benefit to the Catholics, must they not be, consequently, so insignificant as not to be dangerous to us ? But they know little of the history of nations or of human nature, who esti mate political measures by the quantum of individual injury or benefit contained in them, instead of by the principle they involve, and the indirect effects which follow. Catholic Emancipation is, therefore, to be measured by its moral influence upon society, not by the quantum of political power it gi ves . Exclusive laws divide society into two great de nominations, and operate in the actual perpetration of subordinate injustice. Thus society is embittered and enflamed—the natural relations between the various ranks of men are obliterated—life and pro perty become insecure—capital, industry, civilization, and property cannot co-exist—and this is our answer to those who ask us what good emancipation caa do to the Irish poor ?—Dublin Patriot.

" —N ew York Courier. ' DINNER BY THE EAST INDIA COMPANY TO SIR JOHN 111ALCOLAI. Wednesday evening the Directors of the East India Com pany gave a dinner to Sir John Malcolm, on his appoint ment to the Presidency of Bombay, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street. Among the distinguished personages present were, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Carlisle, Lords Dudley, Villiers, Clive, Eliot, and Powis, the Right Hon. George Canning, Sturges Bourne, W. Huskisson, C. Wynn, the Attorney- General, the Solicitor-General; the Hon. Mr. Abercrom bie, Hon. D. Haliburton, Mr. Herries, Admiral Sir George Cockburn, Sirs James Mackintosh, Coutts Trotter, J. Lubbock, Charles Forbes, Colin Campbell, James Cole brook, W. W. Wynn, Christopher Cole, Robert Elliott, and James Shaw, Barts., Colonels Bailey, Hart, &c. &c. The dinner, consisting of turtle, venison, and every spe cies of viands that the season could afford, was served al together on silver plate, en suite. The wines consisted of every variety, and were of the rarest and most costly kind; and the banquet was conducted altogether in a style of the most princely Eastern magnificence. About 130 sat down to dinner. The Hon. Hircit LYNDSAY, the Chairman of the East India Company, in the Chair. On his right Sir John Malcolm, and to the left his Grace the Duke of Wellington, in his uniform as Colonel of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, and wearing the Star of the Bath. On the removal of the cloth "The Wykehamist's Gran" was sung by Messrs. Leete, Terraile, Golden, Broadhurst, and Taylor, who, during the course of the evening, enter tained the company with several catches and glees. After the customary loyal toasts, the CHAIRMAN said, he now came to the more immediate cause for which they were honoured by the presence of this distinguished com pany. It was to congratulate, on his appointment to the Government of Bombay, one whose diplomatic and military services to the Company had now raised him to one of the highest situations which they had it in their power to bestow. Of his merits, qualifications; and talents, more need not be said than his appointment of itself would convey. " The health of Sir John Malcolm, and success to his Government of Bombay."—(Great applause.) Sir JOHN MALCOLM returned his thanks for the kind reception his name had just met with. It might perhaps better answer his purpose, if he said but a few words ; but his heart was too full, and his feelings too strong, to be denied utterance. It was true that he had been sent out to India almost a child, and his only aim was, how best to discharge his duties both to the Company and his native land. It had been his lot to see nearly all the great and remarkable events which had occurred there during the last 35 years, and the only feeling he now entertained, when he looked back and saw how little he had been able to per form in their service, was wonder at the confidence they had bestowed on him—a confidence which he would not venture to place in himself. But though he hesitated not to undertake the ardent duties the Company had been that day pleased to make his, yet they must not expect aught more from him than an ardent zeal in their service.— (Hear. )—When lie looked around and saw so many distin guished individuals, several of them his earliest and best friends, he felt an accumulation of motives to induce him to be a true and faithful servant. He could not help re marking, that the day of his appointmont should be the 43d anniversary of one of the most celebrated battles in Indian history (the name did not reach us). But there were other inducements. He should never forget that eight years since, the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Administra tion of Great Britain had recommended him to the East India Company, for a situation of a nature and duties similar to those he had now to fulfil. To have deserved the notice of him, whose great and distinguished sta tion was even less than the splendour of his talents and the almost omnipotence of his mind, was an incentive for honourable exertion of no weak nature.—(Heari hear.) He could not forget, that in India he bad become`acquaint ed with that great man who represented his Sovereign in the sister island, and under whose paternal care and wise Councils he had been nurtured ; and he felt-assured, if that illustrious Nobleman could have spared himself from his high office, lie would have attended to -congratulate his humble pupil on the honours he rove enjoyed.;:—(Heer.)— Under Lord Wellesley he had been , :sesseiated with many friends new around him, and particularly wittr that - great and noble friend near him, (turning to the Duke of Wel lington) in ties of friendship, which•had ever since remain ed without change, and would, he • hoped, continue un changeable. He had been associated with that great man when lie laid the foundation of his future glory, and al ready established for himself a fame which only himself had since excelled.—(Loud applause.)—lt was most pleas ing to him, on such a delightful occasion as the present, to see those individuals around him. The gratitude he felt for the unanimous manner in which distinction had been conferred upon him by the Board of Directors, he could not express; it would prove a solace to his mind at' periods, and under circumstances, when it would be most required ; and (concluded Sir John) " I trust I shall not fail in fulfilling the anticipations which you have formed." (Loud applause.) The CHAIRMAN—In rising to propose " The health of his Majesty's Ministers," I have only to express that hope which the public so generally entertain, that their eminent talents, unwearied zeal, and ability, will gain for them the high reward which their services to the country must entitle them to. With much satisfaction, I propose " The health of the Right Honourable George Canning, and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers." (Tremendous cheering for several minutes ; during the continuance of which)— Casimuo rose, and spoke to the following purport: —Mr. Chairman, on behalf of my colleagues and myself, whom you have associated in the toast now drank, allow inc to thank this company for the manner in which it has been received. We feel that we deserve no support, and we claim none, but in so far as our exertions may contri bute to the general advantage and happiness of the people. —(Cheers.)—We seek no aid but as we shall be found to deserve it. Gentlemen, there is no body of men in the country from whom such a compliment as you have now bestowed could conic to us with greater welcome. I be lieve there is no example in the history of the world, on the one hand, of such a company as that which your Chair man represents—and on the other, of two co-equal and concurrent authorities, which for so long a series of years have conducted, without shock or conflict, the Adminis tration of, I had almost said, so tremendous an empire. Gentlemen, the extent of the vast empire over which the East India Company more immediately presides, is as fear ful as it is extraordinary, and it is a disproof of the com mon adage, that little wisdom is requir e d f or govern i ng mankind, to consider such a machine—if I may use the expression—as one hundred millions of souls kept to gether with so much comparative happiness, and so little confusion. But, Gentlemen, the greatness of this empire has had its natural effect ; for, I will ven t ure to say, there cannot be f oun d in the history of Europe the existence of any monarchy, which, within a given time, has produced so many men of the first talents in civil and military life, as India has first trained for herself, and then given to her native country.—(Loud cheers.)—lf the com pliment to his Majesty's Ministers be pleasing from the East India Company, it is doubly so on this occasion, when that Company concurs with his Majesty's Government in sending back to India a man whom you have brought home for a time that lie might point to the deeds he had done in your service, and that wisely remembering him you might restore him with power and the opportunity which will tend alike to the completion of your advantage, and his own reputation.—(Hear.)—It is perfectly true, as the Gallant Officer has himself stated, that eight years ago I recom mended to your notice—not knowledge, for that would have been superfluous—those individuals then in your ser vice, whose respective claims, although differing, and of various sorts, were yet so equally valuable, that it became a task of difficulty to select from them—l mean Mr. El phinstone, Sir Thomas Munro, and Sir John Malcolm. By accident rather than preference, the former gentlemen were then appointed ; but if Sir John Malcolm had been behind them in opportunity and time, lie will, I trust, prove ulti mately equal to them in the advantages which this Com pany shall derive from his services. —(Loud applause.) The next toast was—" The Right Hon. Charles Wynn, the President of the Board of Controut for the Affairs of India." Mr. WYNN expressed his thanks for the approbation rendered by the Company at the performance of his duties. Those duties, though some of them are of an invidious na ture, Were mixed with others of a most agreeable descrip tion. It was impossible to peruse the records achieved by the Company's servants in India, and net find reason to glory in the 'name of Britain. He 'would congratulate Sir John Malcolm, not so much on his account, but for the sake of India and his native land, on the extended sphere about to be given for his usefulness. Mr. Wynn concluded by drinking the health of the Chairman, who briefly acknow ledged the compliment. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of his Grace the Duke of .Wellington, and in doing so said he could not but associate with his great and illustrious name that army which he had so often guided to victory. " The Duke of Wellington and the British Army."— (Loud cheers.) The Duke of WELurtoTox—l beg to return you my warns thanks for the honour vou have conferred. I have always attended these meetings with great pleasure, but on no occasion have I ever derived more satisfaction than this, when we are met to congratulate the gallant officer on his appoint to the high station to which be Las been so deservedly called. Thitty years have elapsed since I be came acquainted with my Hon. Friend in the service of the East India Company. At that time he filled a subal tern station ; but froM that time to this no event conse quence, whether political or military, occurred in the an nals of that country, with which his name has not been associated. The history of his life is one series of advan tages derived therefrom to the country which he served. Under these circumstances, it is not astonishing that, after an alquaiutance of so many years, I should be delighted to attend here this day to congratulate my friend.—(Hear.) --But it is not only on that account that I rejoice at his sleva - 'i:on—it is impossible that such an appointment can have been made without exciting the honourable ambition of his heart to repay, by' is Services, the meed of distinc tion and confidence you have reposed in him.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, they were honoured with the pre- Bence of a learned divine, about to embark for India, and whose eminent talents qualify him 'for the high situation which he has been called on to fill---" Dr. James, the new Bishop of Calcutta." The Bishop of CALCUTTA thanked the company, and as sured them, that aifar as he could, he would endeavour to discharge bis duties with fervour and seal. He could pro mise that he would not be led astray by the false and dazzling light of honour or emolument ; he would hold on his course steadfastly, whether amid the cheers or the jeers of the world ; his object should be utility, not approbation —success, not applause. _ _ _ The following toasts were then given from the chair Lord Amherst, and our Government in Bengal," by Sir John Malcolm.—" Sir Thomas Munro and Mr. Elphin stone."—" Sir Archibald Campbell, and the gallant Army lately employed against the Burmese."—" The City of London, and the Trade thereof." Sir James Shaw re turned thanks.—" The Officers, Civil, Naval, and Illilitary, who have rendered distinguished services in India." The company retired at II o'clock. Mr. Canning's carriage was the first that took up, and the people, who assembled in great crowds outside the tavern, loudly cheered the Right Hon. Gentleman as he entered the carriage, and continued their cheers as he passed along the street. The Duke of Wellington next appeared, and was hissed and groaned by the same concourse. As the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Carlisle departed, the cheers were repeated. No notice was taken of any other of the company. COVENT GARDEN MARKET. One of the greatest improvements in the Metro polis which has yet been projected, has till now re mained unnoticed, though the plan is fully matured, and the execution will probably be, not only com menced, but completed at no very distant day. It is intended to rebuild the whole of Covent Garden Market on one uniform and original plan. We have seen a beautiful model of the proposed erections, and as the subject is one of considerable metropolitan interest, we shall endeavour to describe it to our readers. At the extremities of the East and West fronts, four ,ledges, being each one story high, and consisting of two rooms, are to be erected. The two at the eastern end, as also those of the western end, will be connected by a terrace, sustained by (boric columns formed of . granite. On the terraces, it is proposed to expose fiowet'S foul fruits for sale, which are to be displayed in sdh'order as will, it is pre iumed, render the place of their exhibition an attrac tive promenade. The ground floors of the lodges will be made coffee or liquor shops, •in lieu of those now existing in the market. . „ From the ends of each terrace, a conservatory, running from east to west, will be established.— These will he covered in with glass, warmed with flues, and otherwise so disposed that the most deli cate plants may be preserved in them, at all seasons of the year. A middle building, extending from.terrace to ter race, will occupy the centre of this market. Under this, cellars will be constructed, which may be let, independently or in connection with the shops con tiguous. The whole of the upper part of this build ing, which rises in the model above the other erec tions, will be thrown into a hall, designed to be oc cupied with permanent standings along the sides, for the sale of fruits, vegetables, &c. Nearly opposite Great Russell-street, and in a correspondent part of the western colonnade, there will be a public staircase leading to the hall, and to the terraces over the colonnades, from which there will be entrain es to the conservatories. Each of the terraces will be 145 feet in length by 28. By means of these and the ball, it is calculated that an accession • of space, of 13,000 square feet, will be gained. The roof of the hall will be slated; the other buildings will be covered with zinc, with the exception of the conservatory, which, as we have already stated, will be glazed at the top. The whole arrangement is such as to afford the commo dities brought to market greater protection against the weather than can now be obtained, while as much scope will be given for " casualty business" as heretofore. _ _ _ The disposition of the plan is such as to be highly favourable to ventilation. The colonnades beneath the terraces will have every advantage of being in the open air, while they will offer a refreshing shade in the summer, and shelter from the rain in the in clement seasons of the year. It is understood this great improvement will be effected at the sole expence of his Grace the Duke of Bedford. An Act of Parliament must first be obtained, but as no opposition can be anticipated, that circumstance will occasion little delay. The pillars, and various other parts of the proposed erections, can be prepared elsewhere, so that, when once the building is commenced, it may be expected to proceed with great rapidity. Mr. Fisher, his Grace's Solicitor, is the author of the plan, which, whether we consider it as one merely ornamental, or look at it with a view to the more substantial merits connected with giving increased facilities and su perior accommodation to the traders who resort to the market, is a plan which reflects infinite credit on the Inventor. RACING EXTRAORDINARY.—At Grimsby races, on Thursday last, three horses started to run for the Members' Plate, and two of them fell into a sand pit ! Boston Gazette- LIVERPOOL RACES.—An exceedingly hand some gold cup, value 100 guineas, to be run fur at the Liverpool Races in July, has been made by Messrs. Barnard and Co. of Lord-street. It is of beautiful Grecian form ; the stem and lower part of the body ornamented with the acanthus and water leaf, richly embossed ;• a wreath of vine branches with clusters of grapes encircles the upper part immediately below the curve of the lip; cornucopia handles, springing from the swell of the cup rise to the brim ; and between these on one side is a chased basso re lievo, representing three fine young unbroken racers, spott ing wild in a field : the action of the animals is graceful and spirited, and their forms beautifully delineated. T he design of the cup is highly creditable to the taste of Messrs. Barnard, and the workmanship cannot fail to do honour to their manufacture.-. Liverpool Albion. THE MAGISTRACY. The Irish Lord Chancellor is shrewd, consi derate, and careless of fame. His legal decisions demonstrate the extent to which he exercises the first of those attributes. The deliberate and reckless spirit with which he withheld a Commission of the Peace, upon a late occasion, from two Catholics of character, talent, and property, because they were members of the Association, exhibits him in his considerateness and indifference to public opinion. Men of stern and unimpassioned temperament, sel dom wish to see others in tears. It was, therefore, not only considerate, but philosophical, in Lord Manners to make the close of his career in Chan cery as unpopular as possible. He dreaded, lest, if he deported himself to the end with that sameness of illiberality for which he was distinguished from the beginning, he might be pursued with some regret into the shade of private life. To render his resig nation of. Chancellorship a subject of joyance and public gratulation, l►e was resolved to do some ex tremely obnoxious act. Lord Oriel and the Corpo ration -of Waterford supplied him with the golden opportunity. The former recommended Sir Patrick Bellew to his Lordship, as worthy to be invested with the Commission of the Peace. The latter made a similar application on behalf of Mr. Meagher, a respectable Gentleman of Waterford. Fortunately for the Lord Chancellor's views, both were Mem bers of the Catholic Association. He wanted no more. The lucky hit was promptly made. It is needless to say how wonderfully it has succeeded. We ask any man who is acquainted with the general character which the Irish Magistracy has borne—the job 7 bing and oppression which it has almost uniformly sanctioned—the aversion to inquiry and reflection which, even in matters of the greatest public moment it has manifested—its passion to surfeit the gaols with delinquents of a comparatively minor species, and to refund them to society with all the contami nation of a prison about them—its propensity to incarcerate indiscriminately the though tless and truant youth, as well as the hardened and mature trans gressor—we ask any man, who is aware of all this, (and a very short residence in the country will make him perfectly acquainted with the facts), if he ima gines that virtue and intellect have been viewed as essential to the decorous, wholesome , and effective exercise of the Magisterial authority It would be well for the country if Lord Manners had scrutinized the moral capabilities of many of our Justices with that acuteness which marked his inquiry into the political demerits of Sir Patrick Bellew and Mr. I Meagher. The ground upon which the Chancellor refused to confide to those gentlemen a trust, for the con ' scientious discharge of which, their worth, station, and property might be looked upon as a valuable pledge, is, as we have already stated, the fact of their being members of the Catholic Association. Lord Manners may have yet some influence, and, if he considers 'every member of the Association as a being with whom no faith can be kept, he ought to exert it in crushing and disgracing them. This, we apprehend, would be rather an arduous task for his Lordship. We know not the motives of, but we are not blind to the consequences likely to result from, the insult offered, not to Sir Patrick Bellew and Mr. Meagher, but to the whole Catholic Gentry of the country, by this ill-judged, and, at a juncture like the present, infelicitous exercise of authority. Faction, the restless persecutor of Ireland, was sink ing into a slumber—it is to be hoped that the calm will not be disturbed by any retaliatory animosities, and that the door of renewed discord will not be burst open, even though no less a personage than Lord Manners has said " open sessame."—Free man's journal. A NEW ERA For Ireland, may be dated from the period when an enlightened and expanded policy has at last become ascendant in the British Government, by the nomination of Mr. Canning to the premiership. In the glow of elaborate candour and manliness with which Mr. Peel wished to adorn his public charac ter, he precipitated himself into some admissions arid declarations which, while they will be apt to embarrass his future political life, will be of some service to the country. Among these were the boast, that since he was Home Secretary, he was the person who conducted the affairs of Ireland, and was responsible for her situation. Little did the organs of faction know, while they were giving to every outrage in Ireland a political or religious character, exaggerating every evil, crime, and cala mity, in order to ascribe all to Wellesley and Conci liation; that the time would shortly arrive when their own pet Secretary, ,would adopt all this excel lent abuse, by declaring that he it was who was responsible for ,the state of Ireland! ! ! Let the slanderous chronicles now revise their columns, and wherever they find the names of Wellesley and Plunket, let them substitute the more appropriate names of Peel and Goulburn. To these gentlemen, according to Mr. Peel's declaration, all this abuse is applicable. A curious inference is attempted to be adduced by a London cotemporary, in conseqUence of this admis sion of Mr. Peel's—that therefore the office of Lord Lieutenant in Ireland was useless. But in recol lecting that much of the good Lord Wel lesley intended to do was frustrated, it should be remembered also all the mischief he pre vented. That the system of equal justice which he professed and practised in the administra tion of affairs, did not produce all the benefits it was calculated and intended to perform, may now be ascribed to the admitted interference at the other side ; while the fact, that an improved confidence in the administration of justice —that eight counties were delivered into his hands in a state of insurrection now perfectly pacified— that the military force has been diminished, and that the Noble Marquis himself can live among the people without alarm, must be attributable to Lord Wel lesley himself. We cannot forget the anxious state of alarm in which his predecessors lived here, and contrast it with the security of Lord Wellesley amidst the feverish excitements of party. We re collect a very few years since, a dinner party of fourteen, assembled at 'the Vice-regal Lodge, sud denly broken up, by a letter arriving to the then Lord Lieutenant that Dublin was about to be attacked by rebels. His Excellency hurried into town, ordered the guards to be doubled, the garrison to be on the alert, and instantly barricadoed all the avenues to the city !! The present Lord Lieutenant can, however, live secure among the people. The pe riodical reports of a general intended massacre of the Protestants, which prevailed eve r y Christmas and Patrick's 'jay, and which deterred many a pious soul from attending public worship, have now ceased altogether, and, in fact, a considerable progress to wards the feeling as well as the fact of security, al ready pervades the public mind. The inference is obvious. If the personal character and station of a Lord Lieutenant can thus, in spite of a pernicious influence in England, aiding and abetting exaspera tion and party here—if that station and character can thus ameliorate our state of society, what may riot be expected when enlightened councils here are co-operated with at the other side, and that the Bri tish as well .as the Irish Government act together for the pacification of Ireland Patriot. The Lords Commissioners were the Loan Citsticet- LOB, the Earl of Sues-mouslr, and Lord BEXLEY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at a quarter to five o'clock. Mr. DUNDAS and others from the Commons brought up the Edinburgh Register House Bill, and the Union of Parishes (Ireland) Bill. Mr. Jcncx, from the Office of the Board of Trade, pre sented a Return of the Average Price of Grain for the six weeks ending the 3d of June instant. The Earl of ROSLYN moved that the consideration of the Report of the Leith ?dice Bill, with the amendments, be postponed to that day three weeks.—Agreeil to. Lord KING presented petitions from the Unitarian Die senters, praying fur the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. The Noble Lord said that the petitionera were anxious for the repeal of all those unjust laws which now divided the community into two classes, the oppressors and the oppressed—they wished that no disabilities should lie imposed by law on account of religious opinions. The pe titions were agreed to at the annual general Meeting, and expressed the conviction of the petitioners that the blessing of liberty ought not to be limited by qualifications, or clogged by exceptions. The Noble Lord also presented a petition from A great number of Protestant and Catholics residing in Blackburne and its vicinity, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, the abolition of Sinecures, the restoration of the Church to its primitive purity, and a variety of °thin- objects.—The petitions were laid on the table. Mr. WoonnousE brought pp a Bill to continue certain presentments by constables. GAME LAWS. Lord SALISBURY moved that the Report of the Com mittee upon the Bill to legalise the sale of game be re ceived. Lord WHARNCLIFFE said, AS be had not been in the House during the former discussions on the subject, there fore he felt hound now to say, that this was a Bill he could not support. It was constituted merely for the sale of game, and though it contained a great deal of the Bill he had had the honour of introducing into the House, yet he never could consent to a Bill legalizing the sale of game, as long as the qualifications were. such as were to be found in the present Bill. The Bill gave liberty of selling game merely to lords of the manor. Ne man was at liberty, whatever his right of property, to employ another person to kill his game, unliw' that person was duly qualified; he was therefore either obliged to kill it himself, or have a person properly qualified for the purpose, so as to enable bins to bring it to market. The Bill consequently gave a monopoly of sale, and if a monopoly was given, it was im possible the market could ever be supplied, so as to diminish the crime of poaching. The Noble Lord, therefore, not only objected to the further progress of the Bill, but pledged himself to oppose it in every future stage. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved, that the re port be read, leaving out the word " now" for the purpose of inserting the words " these three months." The Marquis of SALISBURY was far from restricting the sale of game to lords of the manor. He had taken every possible pains to give the liberty of selling to every person coming within the qualifications of the Bill. There was another Bill intended to be brought in, which might not be unacceptable to some Noble Lords, giving to all who possessed a certain quantity of land a right to sell. But, for his own part, he would never bring in a Bill for the Sale of Game, except for the purpose of diminishing the offence of poaching. He considered the present Bill had that view, and therefore he called on the Honie, in the uame of humanity, to give their concurrence to it whilst he persevered in moving the reading of the Report. Lord WINCHELSEA thought his Noble Friend had advanced no argument to show that by this Bill those who possessed land had the unqualified right to sell their game, and therefore he could not give his support to the measure. Earl CARNARVON agreed with the Noble Lord Who had just spoken, that every man possessing land should have the right to sell his game. Ho could not see why it should not be permitted to sell game like any other commo dity under certain restrictions. He was perfectly satisfied that the present laws, by which the sale and purchase of game were regulated, afforded no protection whatever to the proprietors of game. He looked upon the right of protect ing game as a right of property, and that every right of property should be protected to the utmost extent ; but still he was convinced that the existing laws rather tended to encourage than to diminish the vice of poaching. Giving the right of sale to a man who had a hundred pounds, and not to the man who possessed ninety-nine, left the law precisely as it was to be found to-day. Many attempts had been made to improve the laws, but every person so attempting had failed, from the complicated nature of the subject; yet he was sure that within two or three Sesssions of Parliament from the pre-. sent time, provided those attempts were continued, the House would attain every point they could desire. If the House rapproached the subject cautiously they would effect every good purpose, but without that no remedial measure could be adopted. He begged to state, in conclusion, that be would give his aOrdial support to the Bill. Lord MALMESBIJRY also looked upon the protection of game as synonymous with the right of property. If the House facilitated the sale of game, they decreased the en couragement of poaching. He rather thought the present ' Game Laws were more for the recreation of country gen tlemen than any thing else.—(Laughter.)—He could not support his Noble Friend's Bill. Lord DARNLEY said it had always appeared to bins a monstrous anomaly that those laws should be in exist ence which were to be found in the statute-book, and yet produce no effect. It was notorious, that though the laws inflicted a penalty and a punishment for selling game, that it was publicly sold both in this and in every large town in the kingdom. He thought the present Bill might be very much amended and beneficially improved, and lie had no doubt that the Noble Baron (Wharnciffe) would by the next Session bring forward a better measure. The Noble Lord expressed his decided opinion that the le galizing the sale of game would tend more than any thing whatever to diminish the crime of poaching. The Marquis of SALISBURY considered the real ques tion before the House to be, not whether there should be an act passed, more or less odious than the present Bill, but whether the present Bill, if passed, would have the effect of stopping, or of in any measure diminishing the piactice of poaching ? If it would have that effect, he thought the House was bound to pass it. Strangers were then ordered to.withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For receiving the Report, Contents Non-contents 2O Majority —4. OCCUPATION OF SPAIN BY FRANCE. On our re-admission we found Lord TEYNHAM on his legs, asking a question of the Noble Viscount opposite (Dudley) respecting the continued occupation of Spain by the French troops. Lord DUDLEY, in reply, said that when a Noble Friend of his asked a question nearly similar, on a former occasion, respecting a course which his Majesty's Gcivernment intended to pursue, he told his Friend that he must then decline giving any answer, that the time, in fact, bad not come when such a disclosure ought to be made. For reasons nearly similar, said the Noble Lord, I must now also decline giving a distinct reply to the Noble Lord's question. The subject is one of great i►u portance, and I can assure the Noble Lord and the House, that it has not been left out of the view of Govern
