NEWSPAPER. STAMPS AND ADVER TISEMENTS. (From the Morning Advertiscr.) This evening it is confidently expected that the pro posed reduction in the duties on Newspaper Stamps and Advertisements will be brought forward ; and in anticipa tion of the event we beg to direct the attention of our readers to the two main features in the proposed scheme, and the two main objections which have been brought for ward against them. The great object, as will be remembered, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had in view, in the Budget which he brought forward, was the relief of commerce from impolitic taxation, by the repeal of some, and the modification of other, duties, and, above all, to afford as much relief as possible to those on whotri the existing taxes pressed most severely and most unjustly. With those two ends in view, it was proposed, with respect to news papers, to reduce, on the one hand, the price of the stamp en each copy from its present rate of 44., with 20 per cent, discount, to 2d., without discount ; and, on the other, instead of the existing duty of 3s. 6d. on all advertisements, to impose Is. on all advertisements not exceeding 120 words, and of 2s. 6d. on those of greater length. By the first it was calculated that there would be a material increase in the number of papers printed, and, consequently, an increased consumption of all the materials which go to the composition of a news paper; by the second, that the poor man, who is now almost totally excluded from the benefits of advertising, might enjoy something like an equal facility with the rich—trade be thereby promoted, and even the revenue improved. With regard to the former, looking not to the monopoly which, in common with our cotemporaries, we are supposed to enjoy, but to the benefit of the commu nity, it is matter of regret with us that the stamp duty was not reduced below the 2d., which it is proposed to impose ; but with respect to the latter, however desirable it may be that there should be no tax-at all upon advertise ments, every one, we think, must agree with us that the proposed reduction will prove a great benefit to the com munity, and that the graduated scale of Is. and 2s. 6d. was imperiously demanded as a matter of justice to all whom it might concern. The present duty of 3s. 6d. on all advertisements is not only monstrous in amount, but unjust in principle—it taxes a servant who advertises for a place to the same amount as the owner of a freehold estate of a million in value, and operates in nine cases out of ten as a total prohibition of the bene fit of advertising. The graduated scale now pro posed, and which, we trust, will he carried into effect, does away with almost all these objections-_a common advertisement may be inserted at less than even the amount of the existing duty,—while those who trench to a greater extent on the columns of newspapers, and who cau better afford to pay for so doing, will reap a proportionate benefit. The medium charge between the two rates, la. 9d., would, no doubt, have been more easily collected, both by the newspapers from the public, and by the Government from the newspapers ; but the medium rate would have been unjust, for the reasons above stated, and the question is, on the one hand, a mere question of greater labour, on the part of the newspapers and the Government, and, on the other, of greater and direct benefit to the community. We ask, whether the additional trouble resulting from a graduated scale is to be put into the balance against the good of the community ? Attempts have been made,—from what motives we shall not attempt to defiae,—on the part of one or tWo newspapers to defeat the graduated sc&e, and to induce the Chancellor of the Exchequer to adopt a Is. 9d., or l s. 6d. duty on all ; but the attempt has hitherto failed—nine tenths of the newspaper press, if not more, are decidedly in favour of the original project,—and we trust it will be defeated. If the voice of the majority, and the interests of the community, be worth anything, the original pro posal will be adhered to. PRICE 7D. THE LORD LIEUTENANT'S TOUR. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF HIS EXCELLENCY ' S RECEP• TION AT GALWAY. GALWAY, MARCH B.—This morning, at an early hour, all was bustle and preparation to receive and escort his Excellency with that respect and eclat which it appeared to be the unanimous and anxious wish of every Galway man to pay him. At about twelve o'clock the whole population of the town seemed to be congregating towards the object of their attention. The several different trades, having numerous fl .gs, with appropriate devices, first posted themselves in front of the house, and shortly afterwards were seen the Claddagh fishermen approaching with a beautiful boat, placed on wheels, from the stem and stern of which floated high the union jack and ensign ; an Irish Piper at full work appeared among the crew. It was drawn and accompanied by upwards of 300 of the elite of this body, their hats decorated with pink and green rosettes, and carrying four large banners, beautifully orna- Merited, on which well-chosen mottos appeared conspicuous. This interesting body having marshalled themselves in th e lawn, amidst the several brilliant equipages of the gentry of the surrounding country, displaying a blaze of th a t female beauty for which our part of the country is distinguished, and an immense cavalcade of horsemen, all anxiously awaited the appearance of the Marquis. At about one o'clock his Excellency mounted his horse, amidst the loud and hearty cheers of tens of thousands, continued as they now thronged forward to the town. A festoon composed of garlands and wreaths of evergreens had been placed across the road by the poor people of the suburbs, his passing under which appeared to have been th e signal for a grand and general huzza. On his Excel lency reaching the rising ground near the College, and from whence a fine view of our noble bay and harbour is bad, the Nimrod commenced firing a salute, while the shipping and boats in the harbour appeared decked in all their gay flags and colours. On entering the town at Eyre-square, he was met by our respectable and venerable Mayor, in his robes, with mace and sword-bearers, &c. &c., accompanied by a full band, who conducted his Excellency to the County Court house, when the several addresses which had been pre yiously prepared were presented , and rep lied to with all I that affability and kind-heartedness which secure attach- Ment and respect. In all his observations on the sadly- disturbed state of the country, he expressed his determi nation of giving the powers already placed in his hands every possible trial in producing tranquillity, before he could think of applying for additional or stronger ones, and forcibly and pathetically impressed on the gentry and , 'andlords the necessity of turning their prompt and serious attention towards remedying those evils which, he more Man once hinted, had been produced by themselves, rather than seek or expect to put them down by force, which could only check without removing. An humble and homespun Address was presented to him in the morning from some poor fishermen of Borne, corn ?tabling that their boats had been wrecked and destroyed "I consequence of the pier built there having been nearly d emolished by a late stor.n, while the natural harbour, Which had hitherto afforded them safety and security , had ren closed ag a inst them by a barrier lately built, which LI ," been also completely levelled. His Excellency received t aem most graciously, and expressed his regret that he was i2ot empowered to afford the pecuniary relief so pressingly dernt nded n this and other distressed districts. On leaving the Court House his Excellency visited our Much neglected harbour and quays, and after riding through from considerable part of the town, proceeded to limit House, karn whence he is to continue his route to-morrow to ''onnern ara . During the day several complimentary placards were Posted in all the conspicuous parts of the town. The . weather was moat p ro piti ous , an d the whole of this interesting day has passed off, happily, without the slightest accident. N o t a single word or expression was heard to d amp or check this grand, this creditable display of re 'Peet and esteem for our beloved Viceroy, from the good People of Galway.

Extract of a letter, dated Durham, April 11: _—lt may not, perhaps, be uninteresting to you to know, that so far as the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND'S anti-bill petition has been a miserable failure in the towns of New castle and North Shields. I was in the former place this morning, and heard it stated, on the authority of his Grace's professional agent, to whose management the pe tition was intrusted, that it was " a decided failure" in that town ; and I was subsequently informed, by a gen tleman who had seen it, that after lying at Donswonnes three day%including the market-day, it had not received 100 signatures ! His worship the Mayor of Newcastle (Mr. A Rican), I understand, was the first subscriber; and he said he put his name to it because be had signed the petition for Reform agreed to at the meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle, and he would also sign the Duke's, to show that he was determined to be neutral!" BERLIN, APRIL 7. From the Times Private Correspondent.) There has lately been a report that Nichatts has expressed himself in angry terms respecting General Diebiisch, and that he is about to withdraw the command from him, and to Confer it on General Geismar. A gentleman lately arrived from Po land gives th e most flattering account of the Russian army, and states it as it as his decided opinion, that they must by this time have passed the Vistula. I must, however, observe that the en gagement near Waivr was posterior to this gentl eman ' s d epar . use. It is said that the Russian Ambassador at Dresden refuses to sign any passports for those Polish artisans who wish to re. turn to their country, but that in order to prevent them from complaining, he gives to each of therti a florin a day. There ap pears to be no truth in the assertion which was repeated by seve ral of the German papers, that the Poles, in case of defeat, in tended to abandon their native land. A Warsaw paper ridicules the idea, and asserts that all the patriots a re reso l ve d to L ye free, or to die on the land of their ancestors. The Polish papers, and indeed several private letters, dwell with pleasure on the courage and enthusiasm of the patriots. Several instances are recorded : I shall confine myself to two which relate to the great battle of the 2 5th of February. 14colonski on e of the richest proprietors in the Duchy of Posen, had Criested as a cannonier in a brigade of artillery. In the heat of the actiell was dangerously wounded. The Commanding Officer seeing him fall, ordered him to be carried out of the ranks, but the bras e soldier, perceiving the IT ementary inaction of the artillery, roused up, bleeding from head to fOot, and pointing to the cannon, " Friends," cried he, "to the work, lam libt dead." Rodonski has received from the Generalissimo the military cross. The other fact is of a somewhat different nature, but not less ihteree. ing. Just at the awful moment when the memorable battle of Grochow was about to commence, Ziol Kowakia, chaplain to the second Regiment of horse, rushed forward in front of the Polish troops, and, holding a crucifix in his hand, addressed to the sol- diers a short but eloquent exhortation. He called upon them in the name of their God, and of their country', alid by every tie dear to a Polish heart, to persevere that day to the career they had so nobly commenced. Ziol KOwekia remained the whole day on the field of battle, mixed in the hottest part of the engage ment, and was repeatedly seen, even under the tremendous tire of the enemy, occupied either in animating the combatants, in healing the wounded, or in receiving the last breath of the dying' soldier. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Afessager des Chambres of Wednesday.) It is reported that the Poles have gained a new and important victory over the Russians at Grochow; that the corps of General Geismar has been entirely destroyed, and he himself severely wounded and a prisoner ; that Marshal Diebitseh, hard pressed on all sides by the Polish army and the peasantry, was shtit up in the marshes, and reduced to a most critical position. The result of this fresh success is said to be no fewer than 6,000 prisoners and 26 pieces of cannon. MILITARY OPERATIONS IN POLAND. The combats of the 31st of Ilfarch iriertt the admiration of Europe. The Polish Generalissimo has just executed a master stroke, by throwing himself suddenly into the midst of the Russ sian cantonments, to crush separately the bodies of the opposing armies. This movement, bold without being rash, is that of a mans of head and execution. Skrzynecki (pronounced Skreji netski) fell on Diebitsch at an advantage, cut his line, and put to the sword many of the troops of the Generals Geismar and Rosen, whilst the Russian General-in-Chief was unable to convey any assistance to them, or even to send them instructions. The news of the rout must have arrived at the same time as that of the at tack, at Siennica, the head-quarters of Diebitsch. Skrzynecki passed the Vistula on the bridge of boats from Warsaw to Praga, on the nights of the 30th and 31st. Before the break of day he had carried the entrenchments which com mand the cantonment of General Geismar. At noon the Poles drove back, for the second time, the same division of the army which had rallied at Milosna, three leagues distant, in that forest which was disputed in the fights of the 19th of February. At five o'clock the Poles encountered the second line of the Russian encampments, formed by the corps of General Rosen and the re mains of that of Geismar, occupying at Dembewielki, seven leagues from Warsaw, another entrenched po s iti o n. Th e fight lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, because the Polish Ge neral was obliged to wait the coming up of his columns to obtain a decisive result, and the Russians thought they had only to resist a surprise, a coup de main, after which the Poles relied on retaking the road to Warsaw. But the operation of Skrzynecki was more serious. He aimed at cutting the Russian army into pieces, and he succeeded. The two bodies of Geismar and Rosen retreated at ten o'clock in the evening on Minsk, in complete rout. The disorder of this re treat in the night must have been excessively disastrous. Several regiments lost all order, as always happens on a field of battle, and much material was lest on the roads. Doubtless the Poles, on the following day, on reaching Minsk, collected on the roads much precious spoil—cannons, arms, ammunition chests, and se- veral prisoners. On the 31st they hadi already taken 3 , 000 pris soners and six pieces of cannon. If General Diebitsch was still in head-quarters at Siennica at the moment of this brilliant affair, he would find himself entirely thrown out by the occupationjof Minsk by the Poles. Deprived of two of his divisions, whose remains will be forced to retreat on the Bug, he will be obliged to retreat himself on his left, into the palatinate of Lublin. The march of the reinforcements of the Imperial Guards, who are advancing towards Ostrolenka by the palatinate of Angus towo, on the extreme right, will be of course suspended at the news of the disasters of the centre. It will require at least a month for the Russian army to effect an union, to join its dif ferent corps, and form a plan of general operation. On his side, General Skrzynecki will no longer be compelled to keep on the defensive in the vicinity of Warsaw and Praga. He may take up his line on the Livice, .fifteen or twenty leagues beyond the capitaL At all events he is in possession of the offensive for at least a month. The Polish General has been not only fortunate and hold, but he has displayed, in the conception and execution of a most well-judged plan, the talents of a great Captain. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, MARCH 17.—Since the suppres sion of the Albanian insurrection, Redschid Pasha has devoted himself with the greatest earnestness to the advancement of his private interests, and has paid very little attention to public affairs. The tranquillity which appeared everywhere to exist, and the false assurances of fidelity daily given by the chieftains of the Albanian and Bosnian tribes, so completely lulled him into security, that he had not the slightest apprehension of the plots which the Pachas of Scutari and Travnik hatched almost before his eyes, and which have for their object nothing less than the dethroning of the Sultan. While neither Redschid Pacha, nor any of the persons about him dreamed of the danger which was threatening the Vizier or the Sultan, one of the most formidable rebellions which ever visited the Turkish empire suddenly broke out. The whole of Albania, Bosnia, and part of Macedonia are in insurrec tion. The Pacha of Scutari is at the head of the movement. He has gone to the frontiers of Albania and Macedonia, and as sembled a corps there, with which he is to march on Constanti nople, while the Pacha of Travnik, with his troops and several thousand Bosnians, is marching against Redschid Paella. Red chid cannot possess sufficient means for his own defence, and as to his making a movement in favour of the threatened capital, that is quite out of the question. In a word, the situation of the Sultan is most serious. The re-establishment of the Janissaries is the rallying cry of the rebels, who are said to be instigated by foreign influence. The regular troops, on which the Sultan per haps can alone rely, are barely sufficient to hold Constantinople in check, if the insurrection has ramifications there. Indeed, these troops have, on every occasion, shown less courage than the irregular militia, who are excited by their fanaticism and rapa. city to vengeance and plunder. The east will thus again become the object of political inte rest; but unfortunately:it will also again be the theatre of a most melancholy ellbsion of blood. Hitherto the Sultan had dela; ed, to all appearance designedly, the payment of the war contributions to Russia, and he also en deavours, by starting all kinds of difficulties, to avoid the rein corporation of the detached districts with Servia. Upon the whole, since the departure of the Russian army, he has carried his head very high, and he seems to forget that his existence has been protracted solely by the moderation of Russia. The warlike preparations, which have for some time past been made by the Porte, are chiefly confined to the naval service, and appeal to be connected with an extensive plan. NEW YORK PAPERS. We have received New York Papers to the 17th of March. They contain a great quantity of letters from Mexico and south America. We have not room for more than the following ex tracts :-- " CARTHAGENA, FEB. 18.—The Bogota mail has arrived to-day. In that capital there are rumours of a revolution; but though denunciations have been made, nobody has been pro ceeded against. Measures have been adopted for security, and if persons are found disposed to revolt, blood will flow. " It is stated that the people of Sabana do not want Urdaneta. By letters from Popayan we know that Obando and Lopez have 1,600 disposable troops, and were marching over the Cauca on the 25th of January. Murquera was waiting for them with troops, partly from this place • and although they do not amount to tirlo men, success is hoped for here, in spite of the General-in-Chief having given an assurance that a battalion, and most of the officers, are liberals, and were determined to desert to Obando. The Junin battalion, commanded by General Florez, auxiliary to Obando and Lopez, had arrived at lbarra. Florez has marched in :person to defend himself against General Luis Urdaneta, who, it appears, had gone to attack him. The troops of Vene zuela have not crossed the line. Moreno continues to molest the department of Boyaca. "In this province, Savanalarga, Soledad, Barraquilla, Santo Tomas, and two other towns, have declared for the constitution of 1830, and the legitimate freAdent and Vice-President and General Montilla and do Francisco. Lieutenant-Colonel Her nandez, of Carthagena, took the park of artillery of Barran quilla, where have been found about 7,000 muskets, a quantity of cartridges, &c., provided to await the affairs of Cordova snd Santa Martha. General Luque set out a few days ago against them, with the 156 soldiers of the Pinchincha battalion ; and yes terday went Yaquachi, with 168. You need not doubt that these two corps will be destroyed, if, as is affirmed, the movement is made by the people. " In the night, it is said, a chasqui arrived from Savanas, with information that Cororal, Carmen, Since, and other towns have declared like Soledad, &c. Finally, we shall see the results, if what I am strongly assured of be true, that a formal and well combined declaration has been made by all the provinces, in cluding Mompox and Santa Martha." (From the New Orleans Courier, Feb. 28.) MEXICO- —Official news of the capture of General Vicente Guerrero was received in this city yesterday, by the schooner Emperor, from Tampico. " EXTRACT OF ♦N OFFICIAL DESPATCH FROM HUATALCO, DATED TILE 24TH OF JANUARY, 1831, BY CAPTAIN MIGUEL GONZALEZ, TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR :--. " I had an interview yesterday with Guerrero on board the Colombo, where before I arrived he had been acting in the most singular manner, soliciting most pressingly that he should not be assassinated, if it were only (said he) for the sake of his family; that his wish was to be carried into a port of the Republic, and placed at the disposition of the general Government, &c. This man was persuaded that he would be murdered immediately, and when he was informed that a Captain of the army was there wishing to see him, he could not believe it; having opened the door, he threw himself on his knees,trembling, and appeared like a man wh'o expected his death -blow. Seeing this, I began to ap pease and quiet him, until I found him composed and willing to proceed on the march. As Guerrero is quite destitute of clothes, having with him but those he wears, I have requested the Com mandant-General Garcia Conde to have a bed prepared for him at Oajaca, having provided him in the mean time, from my own means, all the necessaries for their journey.'

NOUSE OF LORDS, Aritm 14. he Annual Indemnity Bill was brought up to the bar of the House by a message from the Commons. THE BEER BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY said, that the Magis tracy of the country bad had some opportunity of ascer taining the effects of the Beer Bill which had been passed in the last session, and he thought it proper that the at tention of the House should be called to the subject. He should at present content himself with moving for certain returns which would enable their Lordships to form an accurate judgment of what the effect of the Bill had been throughout the country, and particularly in the agricul tural districts. He wished the House to be in possession of information on the subject, for it was his opinion that the Bill had in its operation been of a pernicious tendency, and in saying this he could particularly allude to the agri cultural districts. He wished to ascertain the nu:nber of licences that had been taken out under the new Act, and he should move that there be laid before this House a re turn of the number of licences for the sale of beer, that had been taken out under the Act of 10th George IV. c. 64, to the latest period to which the account can be made out, distinguishing the several counties in which such licences had been granted. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was not his intention to trespass upon the time of their Lordships, but he wished to take the present opportunity of merely saying a few words, lest it should otherwise go forth to the public, and particularly to those who had an interest in the Bill, that his Majesty's Ministers felt themselves averse to the measure that had been passed in the last Ses sion of Parliament. All lie had wanted was, to have the matter properly inquired into, and to seek for evidence sufficient to convince him and other persons whether the charges which bad been made against the Bid had arisen from prejudices and interested motives, or whether they were founded in fact. The object of introducing the Beer Bill into the House was, that beer should not be allowed to be drunk upon the premises; but his Majesty's Go vernment at present had been satisfied by the evidence taken before the Committee, that the clauses which made this enactment were necessary: Ile would acknowledge that he was aware that great evils had arisen from the Bill, in one or two districts, and he particularly alluded to the counties of Hants, Wilts, and Somerset. The same effects, however, had not been produced in the northern counties, where he had the best opportunity of being ac quainted with its effects. Neither the clergy, the Dis senters, nor the landlords in the north, had made any complaints of the operation of the Bill, or of its effects upon the habits of the poorer classes. It was proper to examine into the subject carefully, and to scrutinize the nature of the proposed changes, for the mischiefs which might have arisen from the measure might be only tem porary and consequent upon a sudden change of system ; for if changes did occasionally produce evils, they were of a temporary nature, and compensated for by the ultimate working of the new system. Until the Howse were in possession of full information upon the subject, and until every precaution had been taken, he could not see the propriety of making changes in a law under which so many vested interests had already been formed. The Earl of MALMESBURY said that inquiry into the subject was all he at present wanted, and he did not know that a better way of obtaining information could be de -1 vised than that of granting a Committee. The Earl of CA RNARVON conceived that the Bill, in its effects, had turned out to be a pernicious measure, and as vested interests were daily growing up under its pro tection, he thought that investigation ought not to be de -1 layed. Lord SKELMERSDALE thought that the House ai ought agi s Magistrates s .f be put the into country of i then to answers w the it circularter, which the Noble Lord, the Secre tar y of State for the Home Department, had sent throughout the countr y . The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the evidence teic h l t e h t e_ already produced upon the subject was sufficient to satisfy the minds of most persons. He was far from insinuating any thing against those Magistrates that had reported against the Beer Bill, but at the same time he could not shut his eyes to the infirmities of nature, nor could be for get what was likely to be produced by the fact, that the Bill took from the Magistrates the only patronage possessed by a Justice of the Peace—the power of granting licenses. As long as nature was nature, as long as man was man, there was a frailty within him which would bias his judg ment, and one person would see an object in a very dif ferent point of view from another, according as their in terests were differently affected by it. He was far from impugning the Magistrate", but nevertheless, from the causes he had stated, their report must be considered as, in some measure, drawn up under a bias of the judgment. The Earl of MALMES . BURY said that he felt sea e surprise that the Noble Lord upon the woolsack should impugn the whole Magistracy of the country, and declare that every Magistrate was capable of making an official report under the influence of a bias produced by his per sonal interests. He (Lord Malmesbury) believed that the Magistrates were incapable, from any such motives, of giving incorrect information to the Executive Govern. ment. It was, in point of fact, quite ridiculous, that the Noble Lord at the bead of the Home Department should address the circular he had addressed to the Magistrates of the country, if hie Majesty's Ministers had entertained of them such opinions as had been that night uttered by the Noble Lord on the woolsack. He had no desire to press his motion ; but he certainly did wish to know what was the number of houses that had been licensed under the pre sent Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that it was indiffe rent to him whether the returns were pressed for or not, and in that particular the Noble Earl might take the coins, which he thought best ; but it was not a natter of indifference to him to be held up to the public as having made an attack upon the Magistracy of the country which he never had made, and which it had never been his in tention to make. He appealed to their Lordships whether what lie had said could bear the shadow of a shads—the show of a semblance—of an attack upon the Magistrates. He had always admitted that the Justices of the Peace were a useful body of men—useful professionally, ju dicially, and in every respect, and he was far from impugn ing them, or impeaching their conduct. All that he had done was, to suppose them not exempt from the general laws of our common nature, and to state that Ministers ought to bear this in mind when they were called upon to judge, not of the evidence, but of the opinions of the magistrates. He would defy any man, or body of men, to be exempt from what was the common lot of all men, and all men would have their opinions biassed by a system under which they enjoyed power, and be inclined against a change by which that power was to be taken from them. If lie had not taken this opportunity of meeting the Noble Earl's accusation in the way he bad done, the charge of his having attacked the Magistrates of the country would have been repeated here and in other places ; and it would have gone forth that his Majesty's Ministers were adverse to the whole body of the Magistracy. The observations which he had made were r.ot in favour of any measure which had been introduced by himself or his friends, for ' the Bill in question had been brought forward by his pre decessors in office. The Marquis of SALISBURY maintained that the Bill had not worked well as far as the morals of the lower orders were concerned ; but yet it had not been found to have all the bad effects which had been attributed to it. Lord MELBOURNE could state, on the part of him self and his colleagues, that they had not made up their minds with respect to the Bill. He was desirous of hav ing the best information upon the subject, and he thought that longer time Ought to be taken to ascertain bow the Bill actually worked. Measures of this sort un dertaken by Ministers were always attended by the in convenience of disturbing the public mind ; but com plaints had become so extremely numerous. that he should not have thought it consistent with his duty if he had not taken the step be had done to obtain full and clear infor mation upon the subject. He entertained great respect for the Magistracy, and he considered that it had afforded him very full information upon the effects and operations of the Bill ; but at the same time being well aware that the imputations which had been now urged would be cast upon the Magistrates, he had directed his circular to other bodies of men. He bad felt that the subject was of great and permanent importance to the morals and well being of the country, and that the closest attention should be given to it. He hoped that the Bill would ultimately b e found beneficial. The motion was then put and carried. The Archbishop of YORK presented numerous peti tions against the slave trade, chiefly from dissenting con gregations, or places the names of which were repeated in too low a voice to be heard at the bar. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT. The Earl of HADDINGTON said that he rose to pre sent to their Lordships' House a petition from an impor tant county against the Bill which a Noble Lord had in troduced into the other House, for the object of reforming the representation in Parliament. So many occasions had lately been taken to depreciate county petitions, that he felt himself called upon tom indicate the rights of th e l a nded seinntetedres:sutpoonspeiankatttehresirofopsiuncihonshiwithith?ut being Tisrelr; importance. meeting from which the- petition bi 4 P r oer It what was com monly called a "le- 5a4 and it WAS Was it meeting called by a public req uisition,
