Mr. BROTHERTON presented 38 petitions for the total repeal of the Corn-laws,'from the inhabitants of Leigh, containing. 1,635 signatures ; Lowton, 532 ; Golborne, 282 ; and 35 petitions from variou s t ra d es in Manchester ; also a petition from Mr. William Bevey, of Church, in the parish of Whalley, praying to be informed why he, as a calico-printer, should pay window tax, whereas, if he were a farmer, he would be exempt from such tax ? Sit GEORGE LARPENT presented a petition from some place in Derbyshire, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. MORRIS presented a petition from Llanelly, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented the following pe titions :—From the 'merchants, manufacturers, and other inhabitants of the boorough of Rochdale. These petitioners state that they consider the proposition of her Majesty's Government, as nothing less than a de liberate insult to the British people, especially as a series of resolutions has been submitted to your. Ho nourable House by the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, which, if carried, will have the effect of throwing open Canada and the West Indies to the manufactures of foreign countries. They state far ther that the staple trade of Rochdale consists of flan nels—formerly about one-third of the flannels went to the United States—but, in the year 1828, were virtually excluded by the duties imposed under a tariff passed by the United States, avowedly in retaliation for our Corn-law duties ; that in con sequence the flannel trade is not a twentieth of its former amount ; that since the loss of the American trade, Canada has taken a greater quantity of flannel than any other foreign country. Petitioners would rejoice that the propositions alluded to should pass, if accompanied with the abolition of Corn-laws and all other monopolies ; but otherwise that they would be injurious and unjust. Petitioners pray that whatever regulations be adopted in reference to our colonies, corresponding changes may be made in the sugar and timber duties, and that the Corn and Pro vision-laws may be immediately and totally abolished. One petitiOn of the members of the 'congregation of Mount Gilead Chapel and Smithy Nook, parish of Rochdale ; five petitions from inhabitants of Spot land, Smallbridge, Littleborough, Wardle, and Birtle, in the parish and vicinity of Rochdale ; also six pe titions from workers in Mr. Rawstron's factory, Mr. Brigg's hat shop, Rhodes' mill, Broadly Cotton Mill, Mr. Scholfield's weaving shop and Townhouse mills in same parish. These petitions all pray for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws ; and the petitions now presented are signed in the whole by 3,025 names. PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.—AIthough the onl witnesses called by Captain Nicolas were Lieutenant G. A. Leary, First Lieutenant of the Vindictive; Mr. Kingsworth, Pilot; and Commander Sheringham, the proceedings of the Court-martial did not close until between eight and nine o'clock. The last witness called was Commander Sheringham, who proved that between eight and nine o'clock, on the morning of the 26th, it was slack water, and that a ship two miles E. by N. of the Nab Light, with a W.N. W. course, would reach St. Helen's roads in safety, and that she must be at least four miles E. by N. of the Nab Light, before a W.N.W. course could carry ber into danger. At the termination of Commander Sheringham's examina tion, which was concluded by about six o'cloek, Captain Nico las intimated that it was not his intention to call any more wit nesses. The Court was then cleared, and continued in dilibe ration until nearly half-past eight. Upon our re-admission, the Judge-Advocate (J. Hoskins, Esq.) pronounced the fol lowing sentence THE SOHO PATENT CANDLESTICK.—A novel, elegant, cleanly, and economical improvement, superseding the use of slides and save-ails, may be had of dealers and exporters, manufactured in Silver Plate by the Soho Plate Company, Soho, Staffordshire; Britannia Metal, by Messrs.

Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated the 14th day of February inst., and directed to the President, and setting forth that the several statements transmitted to their Lord ships relative to her Majesty's ship Vindictive having grounded on the Dean Shoal, on the forenoon of the 26th of January, 11342, had appeared to their Lordships on some points inconclusive and unsatisfactory, and they, therefore, deemed it right that all the circumstances attending the said disaster should be investigated by a Court-martial ; and di recting the President to assemble a Court-martial to inves tigate the circumstance under which her Majesty's said ship Vindictive f gr j o a u n nded uary on m t h 2 e , D a :an Shoal, d t e in h try Cap t t ai n e forenoon John T of Toup up Nicolas, C. 8., the officers and ship's company of her Majesty's said ship Vindictive for their conduct on that occasion ; the Court proceeded to investigate the circum stances under which her Majesty's said ship Vindictive grounded on the Dean Shoal on the forenoon of the 26th of January, 1842, and to try the said Captain John Toup Nicolas, C. 8., the officers, and ship's company of her Majesty's said ship Vindictive, for their conduct on that occasion accordingly; and having so inquired into and investigated such circumstances, and having maturely weighed and considered the whole, the Court cannot decide with precision on the causes which led to the disaster—they appear to have rested mainly on some error in the supposed position of the ship when at anchor off the Nab on the morning of the 26th of January last, and in the conrse intended to be made good whilst under way ; but it is not proved by evidence that there was any material error or deiia non in the compasses. Takirig; therefore, all the Circum stances into consideration, the Court is of opinion that Captain Nicolas was justified in the attempt to move her Majesty's ship Vindictive from the exposed anchorage she was supposed to hold near the Nab light; and Captain Nicolas having so deter mined, the Court considers that he put the ship under sufficient and manageable sail for doing so; and that when the buoy of the Dean was made and the Vindictive's danger discovered, the measures most expedient were adopted by him to prevent her falling on the shoal under the circumstances she was placed in then demanded. That when she was aground and striking, as well as subsequently, the conduct of Captain Nicolas was marked by propriety and energy, and was such as to inspire confidence in those around him, and that every possible exer tion was made to save the ship and to prevent worse conse quences than did occur. The Court doth, therefore, fully acquit the said Captain John Toup Nisplas of blame on the occasion before referred to, and the said Captain John Toup Nicolas is hereby fully acquitted accordingly ; and it appearing that every exertion was made by the officers and ship's company of the Vindictive, under the orders of Captain Nicolas, and that he had no complaint to prefer against any of his officers or ship's company, with the exception of two men, who have been already sufficiently punished ; but as, on the contrary, he has commended their zeal and great exertions, the Court cloth hereby acquit the said officers and ship's company of her Ma jesty's ship Vindictive of blame on the occasion referred to, and they are hereby so acquitted accordingly." The sentence was listened to with great attention by all present, and there was a, slight indication of applause at its termination.

The :pttitioner stp,ted that he 2 was ready to prove this: eharo to House; add' prayed I that the House would order a return to be • made of such Petition in order to ascertain whether it was sigried or not. The President of the. Court ( Sir EDWARD Ownii) then rose, and with evident emotion addressed Captain Nicolas as follows:—" Captain Nicolas, the most pleasing part of my duty still remains to be performed, and, believe me, I do it with the warmest satisfaction—it is that of returning you your sword. May you live many years, by which your country may gain the advantage of its services, and obtain, if possible, aug mented honour for the wearer !" The Court then dissolved, and its members warmly congra tulated Captain Nicolas on the highly honourable issue of the proceedings. Captain Nicolas was assisted in his defence by P. T. Oake, Esq. His brother, Sir Harris Nicolas, was also present each day throughout the investigation.

MR. ELTON'S CASE. Captain BERKELEY said that it would appear, from the notice paper, that he had given notice of a motion with regard to the case of Mni Elton ; but he begged to say that he had not given notice of his intention to move for any papers, but merely that it was his intention to put certain questions to the Hon. and Gallant Admiral opposite, with respect to that case, and for fear of accident or mistake, he would beg leave to read the questions he intended to put. The first question he had to ask was, whether the release of Mr. Elton had arisen from any dissatisfac tion on the part of the Board of Admiralty at the proceedings, or at the sentence of the Court-Martial, or whether it was a mere act of clemency, which the Board had 'an undoubted right to exercise? The second question he would ask was, whether or not it had proceeded from any dissatisfaction at the conduct pursued by Captain Williams, the prosecutor F Sir G. COCICBURN said he would endeavour to give a satisfactory answer to both the questions. In answer to the first question which the Hon. Mem ber had put to him, he could assert that a more honourable or more able assembly could not have formed the Court-martial—(Bear, hear)—and that the Admiralty had not the slightest doubt that they had full reason for the whole proceedings, and for th3ir sentence. The next question the Right H on . Me nber had put to him, the question with re gard to Lieutenant Williams, he was equally ready to' answer, on the part of the Admiralty, that it w as impossible that any officer could stand higher in the estimation of the Admiralty , than Oat officer did ; in addition to which he begged to state that he had received a letter from the THE SUN is Published EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, i n Ti me fo r the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY • a SECOND EDITION (-Evening Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTERNooN TRAINS and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other ZVEW9 in LONDON up t o th a t H our . ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. Admiral commanding on that station, speaking of that officer in . the highest possible terms. With regard to the question whether it was an act of Clemency on the part of the Adiniralty to release the unfortunate person to whom the question referred, he wished to say that the Admiralty finding this officer had gone through considerable confinement, they considered that after he had been imprisoned in the Marshalsea the discipline of the service had been fully justified and satisfied, and they therefore did not think it right to continue him any longer in imprisonment It was therefore an act of clemency, but one which they felt fully justi fied in performing, when they ordered the release of the prisoner. Captain BERKELEY said the answer was quite satisfactory to his mind, and he trusted that it would be so to the country.—(Hear.) Mr. JERVIS said he wanted to know by what law it was that any officer of her Majesty's Navy was imprisoned after having been dismissed the service ? Sir GEORGE COCKBURN said that the ques tion was rather an abrupt and extraordinary one to put to him, callingupon him, as it did, to expound the law. The only answer he could give to it was, that the im prisonment was part and parcel of the sentence, he presumed ; and therefore, though, the officer was dis missed from the service, he apprehended that it was perfectly legal. Mr. WALLACE presented a petition from a parish in the county of Berwick, which was altogether an agricultural county, praying for the total repeal of the Corn-laws. The petition was signed by 10 farmers, 77 farm-servants, and 30 others, all engaged in agriculture. The Hon. Gentleman presented also a petition from the Congregation of the United Sessional Church in the town of Greenock, signed by females as well as males, also expressing their hopes that the Corn-laws would be totally abolished. Mr. M. PHILLIPS presented 40 petitions from persons employed in the various branches of trade and manufactures in the county of Lancaster. Mr. EWART, seeing the Attorney-General in his place, wished to ask whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any measure for altering that anomaly in the law of England by which a compensation was given to persons injured upon a railway, but none to the relatives of persons killed ? He also wished to ask whether it was the intention of Government to propose an alteration in the law of deodand ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL could only an swer, that at present he was not aware of any such intention. Lord PALMERSTON presented a great number of petitions from places in Devonshire, Worcester shire, Shropshire, and Staffordshire for the total re peal of the Corn-laws. Mr. F. BARING presented several petitions to the same effect, but the designations of the petitioners were not heard in the gallery. Sir WM. SOMERVILLE presented similar peti tions from places in the county of Meath. Mr. RIGBY WASON moved for returns relating to the appointment of Revising Barristers.—Ordered. Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that on the 24th instant he would move that neither strangers nor reporters be required to leave the House without a special motion. Mr. MURPHY postponed till to-morrow the mo tion of which he had given notice for this day, respect ing the arrest and detention of British subjects in central America. THE SLAVE-TRADE. REFUSAL OF FRANCE TO RATIFY THE TREATY. Sir ROBERT PEEL brought up and laid on the table certain papers, communicated by the command of her Majesty. The Right Honourable Baronet said, in the Gracious Speech delivered by her Ma jesty from the Throne, her Majesty announced to the House that as soon as the ratifications of the treaty signed by the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and France, for the suppression of the Slave-trade, should have been exchanged, her 3lajesty would communicate that treaty to the House. die now laid that treaty on the the table of the House, as signed by the contracting powers, the ratifications of the treaty having been exchanged between England and Russia, Austria and Prussia. Ile regretted that he could not also announce to the House, that the ratificati on o f th e T rea t y w ith France had also been exchanged. The protocols were so framed, that France could, if she thought fit, still enter into the treaty ; and he could not but express a confident hope, not founded on any assurance he had received from the Government of France, that the rati fication of the treaty :by that Power was only sus pended, and not terminated.—(Hear, hear.) lie did hope that the same motives that had induced France to join with the other Powers in a treaty for securing the interests of humanity, would still induce her to g.ive her cordial support to carry it into effect. The Treaties with France of 1831 and 1833 of course remained undiminished in force, but he hoped that a long interval would not elapse before France would lend the high moral sanction of her name, to the efforts of the other great Powers for the sup pression of so detestable a traffic. Lord PALMERSTON begged to express his own satisfaction at seeing these papers laid on the table of the House, and also at the wish expressed by her Majesty's Government. Not being acquainted with what had passed, he added his humble hope that the wish expressed by the Right Hon. Baronet might be realised, and that a speedy ratification of the treaty might be effected. He could not but add to what had fallen from the Right Honourable Baronet, that, according to what he understood as having. taken place, it was the usual practice of Govern ments, that the only grounds that could properly be assigned by a Sovereign for refusing to ratify a treaty concluded by a plenipotentiar3:, were first, that the Plenipotentiary had entered into negotiations, and concluded a treaty without being authorised by his Government in doing so, or else if the Plenipo tentiary had entered into the treaty by the authority of his Sovereign, that he had exceeded or violated his instructions.—(Hear.) Now he apprehended that neither of these objections could be felt by the French Government on the present occasion. The original negotiations were entered into not by England to wards France, but by England and France towards the other three powers ; the draft of the treaty was equally proposed by the French as by the English Government. The negotiations, there fore, were not undertaken unknown to the French Government, but with its sanction and appro val, and he trusted she would yet give her sanction to a treaty so much to her honour and to Gen. Sebastiani, her Ambassador, by whom the negotiation was conducted. He apprehended then that the first objection did not apply in this case ; nor did he think, so far as he could judge, that the second objection ought to weigh with France ; because he found that this treaty was Aimed by the present representative of France at this Court, in consequence of special instruc tions sent to him for that purpose, or in consequence of the authority given to him before he left Paris to conclude the Treaty. There fore, it appearing to him that no reason, consistent with the practice of Governments, could be assigned by the Government of France for refusing the ratifica tion of a treaty which was concluded by its own directions and with its sanction, he entirely shared in the hope, and he might say in the confi dence of the Right Hon. Baronet, that n o considera- tions of a local character, or even that no desire, if any such desire were entertained, of strengthening a Government, or a Ministry, would induce the Sovereign of the French nation to with hold his ratification from a treaty which he (Lord Palmerston) must say would do infinite honour to all the parties engaged in it.—(Cheers.) ME CORN AND PROVISION-LAWS. _ Mr: MAXWELL STEWART said that he wished to flit a question to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, of great importance to the commercial interests of the country. ' He hoped the Right Hon. Bart. would be as explicit in his answer as he could, under the circumstances of the case. In the speech from the Throne, the attention of Par liament was drawn to the re v i s i on o f t h e l aws affect ing our tradein corn, and our trade in other articles of foreign produce. His question related to the latter part of the sentence. The effect of the notice taken in the Speech from the Throne of those articles still we know had been to paralyse all the markets in the country. It was no exaggeration to say that business in those articles were to all intents and purposes coMpletely at a stand-still, in consequence of the doubts in which merchants and owners of such pro duce were left. He (Mr. M. Stewart) did not presume to ask, although he was tempted to do so, what were the articles to which the sentence in the speech from the Throne referred, because he should of course have understood that the plan of the Government would not be disclosed imperfectly or by piecemeal. But he asked —and it was a subject of great importance to the commercial interest—he asked the Right Honourable Baronet, to state when he intended to divulge the whole scheme, including those articles of foreign produce, and he begged the Right Honourable Baronet, for the sake of parties out of the House, who were not versed in technical expressions not to answer him ' by saying he would introduce the subject on such a flay of supply, but, in plain English, to name day and date.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir R. PEEL said, that he would first of all call the attention of the House to the state in which the dis cussion on the Corn -laws now stood. Ile did not wish, in the slightest degree, to precipitate a decision upon the subject or to abridge the time which the House Might think it reasonable to take before it came to a settlement of the matter. But he trusted that even those who were most adverse to the principles upon which he proceeded would bear in mind the manner in which the sense of the House had already been marked upon the subject ; he hoped they would recol lect that the passing of his Act would permit corn now in bond to be brought into consumption at a lower rate of duty than at present. He trusted, therefore, that there would be as much expedition as possi ble used in the passing of the Corn Act. He, for one, was ready to state his views with respect to the whole of the proposed financial and commercial policy of the Government; but, as he stated on a former occasion, there were considerations connected with the public interest which would be intelligible to those who were acquainted with the subject which compelled him to postpone the statement until he could make it in a Committee of Ways and Means. That Committee would meet as soon as the Com mittee of Supply would pass the usual votes. It would be of great importance and convenience if a conclusion was come to as soon as possible on the question of the Corn-laws.—(Hear, hear.) Of course the corn trade was suffering with other branches of trade, and he could only say that the earliest oppor tunity would be taken by the Government to bring forward their views on the subject. If the Hon. Gentleman had asked him with regard to particular articles, he ;(Sir Robert Peel) would be able to resist giving any answer, and he could not but think that the Hon. Gentleman exercised on the whole a wise discretion in abstaining from asking what those arti cles were.—(Laughter.) POOR-LAWS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he could not congra tulate the House on the very explicit answer which the Right Hon. Baronet had just given.-- (Laughter.) However, he begged to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Graham) on the subject of the Poor-laws. The House would recollect that the Poor-law Commission was to cease in July next, and her Majesty's Government had announced their intention of not introducing any Bill on the subject, either for the continuance of the Poor-law, or the Commission till after Easter. That being tthe case, he begged to represent the incon venience that must arise if such a course be persevered in. One of two things must happen.— (Order, order.) He (Mr. Duncombe) was perfectly in order. There was a question before the House. He wished to point out how inconvenient and unsa ,tisfactory to the public it must be, if the Government persevered in the course they announced to the House. Either the country would not have time to consider the provisions of the New Poor-law Amendment Act, or the course which was pursued two years ago of intro ducing a short Bill for its continuance, must be dopted. He 'knew how convenient such a course would be to many Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and even to some of her Majesty's Government after the pledges they - had given on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) What he wished to know was, whether the Government would introduce a Bill, and lay it on the table previous to Easter, and not proceed with it till after. The country would then have time to consider the provisions and alterations intended to be made after the Easter recess. He also wished to know whether the Government in tended to interfere with the Gilbert incorporations or local acts? Sir JAMES GRAHAM spoke in a low tone of voice, and we were not able to catch the whole of his observations. We understood him to say that her Majesty's Government had brought be fore the House measures relating to the trade in corn of a comprehensive nature, but it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce any such measure as that referred to by the Honour able Gentleman opposite, touching the Poor-law Bill. His Honourable riend had announced his intention of bringing forward financial measures which her Ma jesty's Government intended to submit to Parliament. He (Sir James Graham) could not imagine that the discussion on this point would occupy much time. The Hon. Gentleman opposite seemed to think that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring forward some trifling measure relating to the Poor law before Easter, and leave the discussion of it till after Easter. He (Sir J. Graham) begged to assure that Hon. Gentlemen that her Majesty's Government intended no such thing; the intention of Government was not only to continue the Poor-law Commission for some time, but to introduce such modifications of the existing law as on consideration they might think fit to submit to Parliament. The measure, therefore, would -be full and complete. Imme diately after the Easter recess, he (Sir J. Graham) should have the honour of submitting this measure to the House ; before that time, however, he did not think it expedioat to do so. He was not prepared, therefore, to follow the recommendation of his Hon. Friend, that he should lay the Bill before the House before Easter, but immediately after the recess a full and complete measure should be submitted, which he (Sir J. Graham) should be prepared to defend. Mr. DUNCOMBE said there was one question which the Right Hon. Baronet had not answered; it was, whether it was the intention of Government to interfere with the Gilbert corporations. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he had purposely abstained from answering that question. Mr. DUNCOMBE observed that a similar ques tion had been put to the Noble Lord (J. Russell) last session, which his Lordship had answered most ex plicitly. Mr. MILNES said he wished to ask the Right Hon-. Baronet at the. head of her Majesty's Govern ment a question which involved the interests of a large body of men. He trusted that if quite conve nient, the Right Hon. Baronet would inform the House what would become of a certain class called " Corn-inspectors ?" At present they were in great doubt and anxiety as to what would be their fate. Sir R. PEEL said it was not quite convenient.— (A laugh.) He had received a great number of letters on the subject, and he had the matter at present under his consideration. He would, on bringing in the Bill, state his views on the subject. FLOUR DUTIES. Mr. HUTT wished to ask the Right Honourable Baronet a question with regard to his proposed measure. for the revision of the Corn-laws. It was, if it was his intention to preserve the same relative proportion in the rate of duty levied on foreign corn, and on foreign flour, which was observed at present ? Sir R. PEEL said that great inconvenience might arise from the asking of particular questions with respect to the details of the measure it was intended by the Government to introduce. lie would state fully what his intentions were regarding all those matters on bringing in his Bill. He therefore hoped the Hon. Gentleman would consider that he (Sir R. Peel) in tended not the slightest disrespect to him (Mr. Hutt) if he dechned answering the question. WEST INDIES. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY postponed the motion of which he had given notice, relative to the West Indies. GOAT KILLING (IRELAND). Lord ELIOT wished to correct an error into which he had inadvertently fallen, in answering a question put to him by the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Liskeard, relative to the case of a man who had been condemned to death in Ireland, for killing a goat. He (Lord Eliot) had stated that the man had been set at liberty. Such, however, had not been the case. His Noble Friend at the head of the Irish Govern ment had made inquiries into the case, and had found that this was not the prisoner's first offence, and that it had been committed under very ag gravated circumstances, and the sentence had been commuted to twelve months' imprisonment. He stated this, not because the matter was important, but because he desired that strict accuracy should be obsezed in all his communications to that House. Sir GEORGE CLERK presented certain papers to the House, which were laid on the table. POOR-LAWS. General JACKSON wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, if he would state the period for which he pro posed to continue the Poor-law Commission. Sir J. GRAHAM was not prepared to answer any question with regard to the details of the proposed measure. PECULIAR BURDENS ON LAND. Mr. COBDEN wished to ask the Right Ho nourable Baronet at the head of the Government a question relating to a passage in his speech the other evening, in which he said that the fact of certain burdens pressing exclusively on the land, was a ground for levying a tax on the food of the people, for the benefit a particular class.--(Hear, hear.) Was the Right Hon. Baronet prepared to lay before the House a specification of those particular burdens.—(Cheers.) It would be more convenient to the House—(Loud cries of " Order, order")—the question which he wished to put to the Right Hon. Baronet was this— Was,he prepared to submit to the House a specifica tion of those burdens alleged by him to press pecu liarly on the landed interests?—(Cheers.) Sir R. PEEL would find that he had involved him self in great controversy if he were to attempt to lay on the table a n y suc h s p ec ifi ca tion as that asked for by the Hon. Member.—(Cheers and counter cheers.) the landed ande d On referring to the writers on political economy, he found a g re a t difference of opinion*ton ex isted on the subject. Adam Smith considered tithes as a burden pressing peculiarly interest ; Mr. M'Culloch w as of the . same opinion other writers, however , maintained a different opinion. The Noble Lord, however, seemed to be of the same • • as himself (Sir R. Peel), that opinion there were burdens pressing peculiarly on the landed interest, and therefore he had proposed a fixed duty.

Counsel were heard and witnesses examined on behalf of the party applying. for this Bill, after which the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Moderator and other members of the congregation of Letterkenny, County of Donegal, begging the House to take into consideration th e l aw on Presbyterian marriages. Also a petition from the County of Mo naghan to the same effect. CORN-LAWS—THE SUFFRAGE. Lord BROUGHAM presented a numerously signed petition from the parish of St. Luke, Middle sex, praying for a Repeal of the Corn and Provision laws ; also that the right of voting for Members of the House of Commons be conferred upon every male of 21 years of age, of sound mind and of character un stained by criminal conviction ; also a petition from a place in Fife for a repeal of the C•irn-laws. -Lord STRAFFORD presented a petition from Coleraine, complaining of the state of the law relating to marriages in Ireland. SLAVE TRADE TREATY. The Earl of ABERDEEN laid..on the table of the House a treaty, signed by the representatives of the Five Great Powers of Europe, for-,thtmore effectual suppression of the slave trade. He regretted that he could not inform the House that France had agreed to the ratification of that treaty, nor was he able to inform the House when that ratification might be ex pected. 'Their Lordships were perhaps aware of the causes which produced this difference on the part of the French Government. His Majesty the King of the French had thought the reasons assigned by his Government to be sufficient to induce him to suspend this ratification: Their Lordships were aware of the nature of those reasons, and he felt it to be his duty to say nothing, nor do anything which could possibly throw the least difficulty in the way affecting that treaty. The proto col had been left open for the accession of that Power. It would be perceived it would combine the treaty entered into by France and this country in 1831. The treaty of 1833 remains in full force ; indeed it was in effect the original treaty of 1831. The present treaty was formed upon the principle of these two, and entered into not with any intention of new engage ments, or any new articles, with but one exception. By the treaty of 1831, a mutual right of search was fully recognised and established. By the treaty of 1833 different articles furnished sufficient prima facie evi dence that such a principle was recognised. The present treaty did no more ; there was but a slight addition as to the latitude in which the right of search existed. To this part of the treaty France had refused to ac cede, but the remainder of the other four Powers h a d confirmed the treaty with respect to this latitude. That was the only material article that made any difference in the treaties, and he (Lord Aberdeen) hoped that the time would shortly arrive when those causes to which he would not more particularly al lude, and which had produced this decision on the part of the French Government, would no longer remain, and the treaty would be eventually concluded as they had desired. Lord BROUGHAM said he had heard with the deepest regret the announcement made by his Noble Friend respecting the ratification of that important treaty. He (Lord Brougham) would also carefully abstain from saying one word that even would have a tendency to remove any of the obstacles which existed towards the consummation which all parties in this country and persons of every description were anxious to see effected. But one thing he would beg to add re specting what had dropped from his Noble Friend. If in any quarter there prevailed—if beneath the universal desire of the people of this country, of all classes and descriptions, to see this important treaty ratified, and its provisions honestly and faithfully exe cuted, there lurked any sinister motive, or wish, or fancy, or imagination—if thereby or therethrough increasing any supposed maritime right—any general right of search—or fortifying any claim in existence —he (Lord B.) begged to deny that such would in crease the maritime power of this country, or in any manner of way accomplish any object or fulfil any one view whatever, except the extinction of the African slave-trade. He begged to state that any opinion entertained, such as he adverted to, was an absolute delusion. He would venture to say that in no quarter, neither in the Government of this country, nor in the party generally opposed to the Government, nor in fact in the more minute portion or the Parliament, did there exist any one idea what ever as connected with this subject save and except that of seeing.the extinction of the African slave trade. No man acquainted with the state of this great ques tion, and the interest that it excited in the minds of the people of , this country, could• have the slightest doubt that what he (Lord B.) now stated was the precise and literal fact. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented some papers (as we understood) relative to the number of Magis trates in Ireland. Viscount MELBOURNE prese n t e d a p e titi on f rom Mullingar relative to Dissenters' marriages. The Noble Viscount also presented a petition from the North Riding of the county of York praying for a total repeal of the Corn-laws. COUNTY COURTS. Lord pOTTENHAM state would be in the recollection: ,of , their Lords - 4 that when he held the office now filled by his Noble Friend on the Woolsack, he had pledged himself to introduce three Bills for the purpose of improving the administration of the law in these Courts. Since that time he had been led to understand that it was the intention of the present Government to intro duce some measures on the subject ; what those measures were he would not pretend to say, but he thought the'subject was one that ought to be taken up by the Government. He, how ever, thought it to be his duty, in redemption of the pledge he had given, to lay before the House the measures he had promised to introduce, and hav ing done so, he would wait to see what the measures of the Government were, and if they met his views, he should most willingly abandon his Bills. The first measure he proposed was, to establish County Courts in every district, so that there might in every town be Courts sitting at short intervals, to decide questions of property ; another Bill was to amend certain jurisdictions in the Court of Chancery ; and the other was to amend the law relating to Bankruptcy. He would now lay those three Bills upon the table, hut he would not move the second reading of them until he had seen the measures proposed by the Government. Lord BROUGHAM acceded to the proposition of the Noble Lord. The Bills were then read a first time. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Lord CAMPBELL informed the House that he would postpone the introduction of his Bill on this subject for one day after that he had originally fixed, as he found his Noble Friend, the Comptroller of the Exchequer, was to bring forward a measure on that day. The LORD CHANCELL OR reco mmended his Noble Friend to present his B ill to the House a few days before the discussion sho uld•take p l ace. Lord CAMPBELL knew that this was a fr equen t course ; but it was also usual to la y the Bill on their Lordships' table, and give some explanation of it, al lowing a` few daysthen to precede the discussion. This course he meant to adopt. Their LoMshiPs then adjourned. HOUSE OF COOM:ONS, PE a. 21. The SPEAKER took the chair at the u sua l h our. Mr. JACKSON, Solicitor-Ge neral fo r Ireland, took the oaths and his seat for the University of Dublin. CORN-LAWS. Mr. DIVETT presented a petition f rom Mon mouth, signed by 2,000 persons , p r aying for a t o t a l repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. BUSFIELD presented a petition from Brad ford, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, agreed to at a public meeting held in the open air. As that p e ti t i on differed somewhat from the petitions generally pre sented to the House on the subject to which it re ferred, he moved that it be read at the table. The petition was then read by the Clerk at th e table. It expressed the astonishment and indignati on of the petitioners at the Ministerial measure for th e a alteration of the Corn-laws,,and beseeched the H ouse to agree to no measure which fell short o f a tota l abolition of all the laws imposing dutie s on t h e im portation of corn and provisions. The petition ers a l so s a t b a d t e p d r t a h y a e t d t h t e o y bo were heardlab oautritnhge bar under of mthne many grievances, ; and grievances, also prayed that the House would pass the People's Charter, so that it might become law. Mr. KEMBLE presented a petition from Lam beth, praying, that in any grant for Metropolitan Im provements, the claims of the borough of Lambeth might be considered. Mr. MARSLAND presented several petitions for
