He understood that the cost of maki. head of sugar was greater than its value in th e - wit( n made, -We understood the Honourabl ~3 ber to attribute the excessive cost of pire t to the deficiency of labour ; and to inquire who was intended to intro duce any measure for the g importation througho u t th e Colonies. Lord STANLEY said that the House would se‘ the last question was one of considerable important which it would be impossible to, give a direct answ yes or no without entering fully into dot In the first place, he did not suppose that the Hon. G tleman's question was intended to apply to the \V India colonies generally, but to the colonies of Den rara, British Guiana, and Berbice. He was aware, a though he was not aware of the fact as related to th West India India colonies generally, that a committee of planters—highly intelligent men, lie was bound to sa y_ had met together some time ag o, and after examination and evidence they came to a reso l u tion confirming the fact, which the Hon. Gentlem an had affirmed, that in past years the expense of refining sugar in the West est Indies was greater than its value. Now it wes Inapif dist.under such a state of things , cultivation eC go on, ti oid that some step or other s hould he taken ld , rTt z the view of- preventing a comp etition among the i)so. e ducers of sugar, which appeare d to him to be a l '. lutely ruinous as well as entirel y unprofitahle, 'to the planters. He doubted, he twever, whe the th er „e planters were taking in all respects the best c effecting their own objects. With res,”ect to the at cored question, , the Hon. Gentleman bad• a st: aware that in certain cases there was an wheiher ‘` L ts r ok iportuni tat dishonest agents to defraud their masts. rs " it country by giving false returns of thi: illnYtt , - s of sugar raised (Al the estates. Now, there vz no question but that absentee proprietors in the West India colonies as elsewhere, enter( into competition with resident proprietors under ver Y great disadvantages in all matters which might requir their presence and superintendence. Undoubtedly, while it was required that returns should be made from a distant country, it was, and must be, in the power of dishonest agents to falsify those returns, and to defraud their absent employers. If he might be allowed to give his opinion very respectfully upon that question, it would be that its the present critical condition of the West India estates, acorahtion which he did not deny, and which was deeply to be larneneed ; but, with increased facilities which also existed between this country and the West Indies, it appeaved to him most desirable that the superintend ence and attention of proprietors in the West Indies should be extended to their property there with a view to eflect, what he knew and believed might be effected, a. great saving in the management of their estates, and in various charges which it is very difficult for him, or for any one in that House, t..* understand or enumerate ; and also that they should' endeavour by their local influence to facilitate that great trade, which he believed was inevitable and desirable, by a transfer of trade from the hands of agents to those of resident tenants. That trade he believed th be new in progress, and he believed it to be most de sirable for. proprietors themselves, and for the public ge nerally.—.oleer.) He would ventuve to say this with respect to die expense of cultivation . , that there was no single instance in which this natural consequence had not followed as effect and cause--namely, that where they gave to the negro labour,er an inte rest in the amount of work to be nerformed, and in the amount of produce raised, there they would obtain constant and industrious labouvers ; but where they did not give that interest there they re,oulti not obtain them, and the amount of competition ? ..the consequence of the wages which the plant^ 's are willing to give, and the ruinous competition betweea them for a certain time, and certain portions of work neglectfully and unstilfuliy performed, would'. neeeeetirily lead to those ruinous expenses to which the \Vest India colonists were now subjected. With regard to emigration from Africa, he believed it was most success - fui, indeed most beneficial to all persons, except to those from European countries ; and her Mae jesty's tiovernment had received the most saiisfactory accounts on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) But the Bight Hon. Gentleman must be aware that great difficulties exist in the way of emigration from Africa, or front any quarter where the power of her Majesty's Government with regard to emigration is so affected as in the case of Africa. tie would not say it may be advisab. l e with respect to some of those settlements on the coast Africa, except Sierra Leone. 'Great evils may reeult with regard to the slave-trade, and to the labour of tOU free population. He saw, however, great difficulty" in sanctioning emigration from those places. Those settlements became places of refuge for fugitive slaves ; and it would create the jealousy of all ; and it would give rise to opinions that their emigrating was not voluntary but forced ; and, at all events, lead people to imagine that it would encourage the sale of slaves. He believed he gave the best answer in his power to the question of the Hon. Gentleman on the point, feeling it, to be his duty to state distinctly his views and those of. her Majesty's Government on a subject so intimately connected with the (thee he had the honour to fill. - No. 7, 130rottgt. of a 1a:, ,e quan. • videnee, that. the muntorinen, who Tel " in his illegal NO excise-office rs, elle(' an immense ed, 51.

The Noble Lord also presented a petition from Jedburgh, an agricultural district, the inhabitants of which were wholly dependent' upon agricultur e for support, and they prayed for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. THE CASE OF THE " CREOLE." . The. NOBLE LORD, who spoke in an extremely low tone of voice, and with his back to the gallery, said he had then to bring before their Lordships the subject to which he had called their Lordships' attention, and in conformity with the notice whiCh he had given, for the production of any correspondence with his Noble Friend opposite relative to the ship Creole. Whether there was any such correspondence he could not tell, but if there was there could be no objection to bringing it forward. In bringing the subject; before their Lord ships, he would state that he had considered it in all its bearings, and the examination which he had been enabled to give the subject had only 'confirmed him in the opinion he first held respecting it; with respect to the right of a foreign country to demand any person to be given up who had taken refuge in that country, hav ing committed an offence. It was necessary to consider in regard to this question the right of one nation to de mand or deliver up this person. This was one ques tion ; but there was another to be considerel, whether with all this right, even if they were to legalize the right, whether it would enable one Government to demand, or render up a subject charged with an offence, who had taken refuge under that G overnmen t— an d what right by the municipal law "of (Wand in which th e alleged criminal had taken refuge—what right the Go vernment of this country would have to seize, detain, and deliver up that alleged criminal ? Whatever right they had, even if one nation should have made a treaty with an other, they had no right or authority by the common law treaty nations at y existed tto d between it p this c h co subject. untt.y such a Ame rica, and legalised by Act of Parliam en t, a ll ow i ng on the one hand, the American Government to detain a subject of this country, and empowering this country to detain a citizen of America, that treaty became inap plicable to the purpose intended, because the municipal law of the land prevented the possibility of such treaty ex isting. He did not mean to say that such treaty could not be entered into, but, as in the present case, if that treaty had been entered into, it would remain a dead letter, unless it were acknowledged and recognised by the Municipal law. He thought they had not kept the two questions suffi ciently apart. There was no power, by law, to seize any person, much more to surrender him, on the charge of having committed an offence without the limits of this country. Whether he were an alien or a natural existing between the two States feciproetill,!ii to deliver up to each other all persons charged with ciiiineA; nut there ought to be the greatest caution in entering into any such compacts. A treaty existed bet Ween the State cif New York and Canada, reciprocally to deliver up re fugee criminals against whom true bills should have been found by. Grand Juries. A slave had escaped from New York to Canada; to facilitate his escape, he rode a pert of the distance upon his master's horse, which he had sent back before he crossed the frontier. The Americans knew full well that England would not deliver up a run away slave; and therefore they presented a bill to the Grand Jury of New York against the slave for hot'Ae gtal ing. The bill was found, and on that ground they demanded the slave to be given up, but the Governor re fused, as it was clear he was not actuated by the animus . farcndi. He (Lord Campbell) had been consulted, and had given it as his opinion he ought not to be delivered up, and he never had been delivered up. With regard to the claim for compensation, as slavery was notrecognised by the law of England, the slave was free, ipso facto, as soon as he had set foot in the British territories; and therefore America could have no claim for compensation. He therefore trusted America would see the justice of our refusal, and that the affair would be amicably settled. Lord COTTENHAM entirely agreed with the Noble and Learned Lords who had preceded him.

" August 27, 1841. " GENTLEMEN,—Were I to enumerate all the Cures and i'enelits obtained by taking this famous remedy which are of fered to me, it would require a book as large as a Church Bible to write them in ! Not a day passes but some one comes to acknowledge the b'essings of a Cure,—some being made free in their limbs from pain and rheumatism, some cured of sick headache of long standing, some from violent bilious attacks, others cured of the ague, of awe let legi, and sore legs, of pal pitation of the heart, and, wonderful to relate ! eld men and women say,'since they took Old Parr's Pills, they have enjoyed better health, better spirits, better appetite, had mare nerve and strength than they had excerienced for the past twenty years, and that Old Parr is like new life to them, for they feel all those delightful changes in the system. In fact, these won derful Pills appear to contain all the virtues of the 'pothecary's -hap, without having to go through all the regular doses of draughts and boluses. My sale, instead of decreasing, increases. Sires last Au gust, when I received the first supply of Parr's Life Pills (with the lour gross you may now send me by first conveyance), I have had 2,076 boxes at Is. lid., and 2 i 4 of the 2s. 9d. size. Some people may not believe this: you ern, if you-like, sly.w the entry, and the cash paid for them. I am, your obi•dient servant, " JAMES DRURY, " The old-established Patent Meolieine Warehouse, • 224, Stone itow, Lincoln." This must convince every reasonable person of their wonder ful•efficacy ; cases of the most severe and unparalleled descrip. tion have been cured. by their use ; and although powerful in compering disease, they are yet as pure and harmless as new milk, and may be administered with confidence to the invalid, however weakly from long ill-health, who will soon enjoy those delightful symptots.s of a return to strong health, viz., good appetite. sound sleep, and an increase of animal spirits. To have prodpced a medicine so benign and mild in its operation and effects, and yet so effectual in searching out and .curing dis ease, of however long standing, exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research, and a thorough knowledge of his subject. Those who have been the instruments of restoring this long lost secret to the world, feel confident, e hen they wake the assertion—that none need despair, that if only a fair trial be given, the result will be a restoration to health and happiness. " Thus shall their humble labours merit praise, And future Parrs be blessed with honour'd days." CAUTION.—BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. In order to protect the Public, the Hon. Commissioners of Stamps have ordered " Parr's Life Pills" to be engraved on tee Government Stamp attached to each box, without which none are genuine.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 14. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at Five o'Clock. MIXED MARRIAGES (IRELAND). Lord STRAFFORD presented petitions from Lon donderry, Donegal, and other places in Ireland, praying the House to legalize Presbyterian mixed marriages in Ireland. CORN-LAWS. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Edin burgh, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. He had been requested to support the prayer of the petition ; now, although he had the greatest respect for the petitioners, he was not able to go so far as to vote for a total and ;minediate repeal of the Corn-laws, be cause considering the number of years during which the Corn-laws had existed, he thought that great evils might ensue from so sudden and violent a change. But he was not prepared to support any modification of those laws which would not admit of a free-trade in corn at all times—(Hear, hear)—because a measure which would not do that would not produce a steady price— would not promote the sale of our manufactures—would not prevent the evils of the existing system—would not prevent the derangement of out monetary system, inasmuch as it would not tend to promote a barter between England and corn growing countries, but when we required their corn we should have to pay for it in bullion. It wo u ld th us ten d to perpe t ua t e all the evils of the existing system. He would not consent to any alterations of the Corn-laws which would not at all admit of the free importation of corn at a moderate fixed duty. RF;GULATION OF BUILDINGS BILL. The Marquis of NORMANBy presented a petition from the Mayor and Town Council of Birmingham, praying that the carrying out the provisions of the Bill, might be confided to the town council, instead of to cer tain commissioners, as had been proposed in the Bill. The petitioners likewise prayed to be heard by counsel on the subject, at the bar of their Lordships' house. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. DRAINAGE OF TOWNS BILL. The Marquis of NORMANBY wished to impress upon the Noble Duke opposite, the necessity of drawing the attention of his colleagues in the Government to the pro priety of introducing a Bill for the drainage of towns into the other House. BOROUGH IMPROVEMENTS BILL. The Borough Improvements Bill was read a third time, and passed. APPROPRIATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL. On 'the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON the Appropriation Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed.

PRESBYTERIAN MIXED MARRIAGES. Lord CAMPBELL referred to the recent decision of the Judges in Irelar_d, and observed that the firmer decision upon the subject of those marriages, were much more to be relied on, than the decison alluded to. It was much to be regretted that a question of such infinite import ance was not determined otherwise than merely by the conviction of a criminal. The Noble Lord suggested to his Noble Friend, before he introduced the Bill upon the sub ject of these marriages, it would be of the utmost import ance. to consider what the law was precisely, though he perfectly agreed with his Noble Friend who had pre sented the petition, that no time should be lost in de termining so serious a matter ; it seemed to him (Lord Campbell) of vast importance, first, to determine what the law upon the subject of those marriages was. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had written to Ireland to ascertain what the precise terms of the decision in the case alluded to was, and when he had received a communication froin the Learned Judge before whom the trial took place, then he (the Lord Chancellor) would introduce a Bill either declaratory or enacting. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE concurred with the Noble and Learned Lord who had suggested the necessity of considering what the law was upon the subject of those marriages. It was also of the utmost importance that time' should not be unnecessarily lost, because every day serious evils might arise, and were actually arising, every day. For instance, a person in a humble rank of life, who was a member of the Chnrch of ' England, had been married for somQ years to a Presbyterian, by a clergyman of that per suasion, and since the decision had been made upon the subject by the Judges in Ireland, that man deserted his wife, who was obliged to go into the poor-house to procure the necessaries of life. ,The Noble Lord then presented petitions from the Presbyterian con gregation of Galway, and from the Presbyterian con gregation of Stewartstown, in the county of Tyrone, praying the House to pass a law fo r th e i mme di ate regulation of Presbyterian marriages. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Kendal for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Also a petition from working men of Kendal, which stated that the rights of industry were tampered with by unjust restrictions, imposed by the Legislature on labour ; and, therefore, they prayed for a total and immediate repeal of all monopolies On commerce, by which the petitioners would be enabled to sell their labour in the best market. The petitioners also stated that the repeal of these laws wou ld b e the most effectual mode of regulating the labour of children in factories. The Noble Lord al so presented a petition from a place in Surrey for the repeal of the Corn-laws ; also a petition from the manufacturers employed by born subji►ct,- - they had no power over him to give him np on such a charge till a law be made arming the Government with the power to do so. Ile had referred their Lordships to cases where the Government had been armed with powers to perform these obligr►tions ; but without the power conferred by Act. of Parliament it would be impossible to perform these obligati►,vs. He had stated that the only doubt in his mind with regard to the Creole was, that a piratical case had been committed. The case of piracy stood in two particulars in a very different position from any other case where the charge is against an alien, for crimes'committed beyond the jurisdiction of the country; for whereas in any other case they would have no power to arrest and detain, in the case of piracy it was un deniable they had power to seize and to detain, though the person charged stiould be an alen. In the case of piracy, also, they had not only the power of seizing and detaining a person, but they could send him to his trial, so that here there would be no fear of his going unpunished ; but in case or murder committed in a foreign country they had no power either to detain, seize, or give him up. It was impossible to deny, and he (Lord Brougham) did not deny, that this was a state of law which ought not to continue. The rights of justice required, and the rights of good neighbourhood required, that in two countries bor dernig on one another, as the United States and England —in reference with their colonies and even in England and France, Holland, and Bel gium, there ought to be laws on both sides, giving power to each Government to secure offenders who have committed offences in the territory of, one, and taken relnge in the territory of anot?rer• He could hardly imagine how nations could maintain the relationship which ought to exist between one country and another, without being armed with some such power ; at present however, such power did not exist ; there was no law in this country to justify such a proceeding.— lie understood that in the year 1822 a law was passed by one of' the border States of America, conferring the power in question; about the same time by our province of Canada conferring the same power; and in consequence of those two laws there was - a mutual giving•up of persons charged with offences. A similar law had been passed in Belgium, but only under certain restrictions, and operating only in cases where certain proceedings had already taken place with respect to persons charged ; and, above all, only in cases where there was a reci procity in other points between the two countries. It was on these grounds that he had troubled them with observations on the subject, both now and on the . first night of the session. Lord ABERDEEN said, in answer to the ques tion of his Noble and Learned Friend, he begged to inform the House, that communications had taken place between the Governor of the Bahamas and her Ma jesty's Government on the subject. Perhaps the Noble and Learned Lord would not press for the production of those communications in the present stage of the trans action. particularly when he informed the House what the course of her Majesty's Government had been on this question. As their Lordships might well imagine, her 111,ijesty's Government had given the question their most seriou§ and anxi ous attention, and a f ter ta ki ng advantage of ‘ all the assistance which they thought de • sirable on the subject they have satisfied themselves that by the laws of this country there is no machinery or authority fur brinLing those persons to trial for mutiny dnd murder, still less for delivering them up. The Secretary of State for the Colonial Department had therefore sent out orders for releasing those persons who had hitherto been detained. He was not certain but under our colonial law these persons might be brought to trial. It was possible, as the Noble and Learned Lord had cited the existence of such a law in the Canadas. If such a law did exist, of course it could be acted upon ; but should there not be such a law, direc tions had been sent by the Government to release the parties. Lord DENMAN said he believed that all Westminster hall, including the Bench, were of the same opinion as had just been expressed by the Noble Earl. The law of England furnished no instance whatever tbr delivering up persons accused of crimes committed in a foregn country. When the Alien Bill was before Parliament, the lawyers came to the same opinion. Sir Charles Wetherall, a man not likely to be led by political opinion, had ex pressed a strong opinion on this subject, and had given a strong example in support of it. He expressly stated that offences committed in a foreign country form no reason for refusing protection to the parties if in this country. He said that if the re gicides of Louis XVI. had sought shelter in this country, they ought not to have been sent away; and that refugees for crime ought to find an asylum in this country. This • was not a new doctrine ; there was a passage in Lord Coke to the same effect, and one which could not be read without interest :—" It had been holden and resolved, kingdoms in league with one an other should be a sanctuary to the servants and subjects of each. - if they fly for safety from one coun try to the other ; and if a demand be made fir them they cannot by the laws and liberties of this kingdom be delivered back." lie then refers to a text of Scripture in support of his opinion, and goes on to mention two cases between France and England, one in which the Ambassador of Queen Elizabeth made a demand for one Morgan, ac cused of treason, to which demand the French ourt replied, that if he had committed an offence in France the law would be acted on, but he was not given up ; and the other, where Elizabeth he thestates that this doctrine . Supreme afforded protection to the French Huguenots when they were demanded to be delivered up -for having committed rebellion against the French Crown. These opinions were not confined to the lawyers of this country, as one to exactly the same effect had been given might subject the Go by Judge Storey in America. After citing the same psibility of an action Court of the plUvaanssistaiengddeirSfertcoatnitleys.LcoonHrfiderCmwoekasde'byq.uite sure that no Govern ment could give any decision that should appear in the remotest degree to favour the slave-trade, and he reminded that House that enforcing a seizure of vsuercuhmpeenrstonosffi, for false imprisonment, or even the still more awful responsibility of murder should t ie parties resist, and they would be justified in resisting any force that officer to might be used to seize them. lie_ . reserved his opinion of the case, but was sure that their Lordships would re joice that two hundred human beings In a state of slavery had restored themselves to a state of freedom. without t ii e authority, res Lord CAMPBELL should not have presented him self to their Lordships, had it not been stated that during the time he had held the office of Att orney - General, he had given it _ as his opinion th a t foreign Governments had authority to demand that their subjects, accused of crimes, and who had taken re fuge in the territories of other Governments, should be delivered up to them. He had never given any such opi nion; on the contrary, he bad always given it as his decided opinion, that, according to the law of 'nations fo reign Governments had no right to make any such demand and that by the municipal law of England there was no power given to comply with any such demand. This had been laid down by all the authorities, and Mr. Martens, the Professor of Law in the University of Gottingen, bad in his work laid down the law very explicitly on the subject. No State could have_ any such right unless it acquired it by treaty. In that way an imperf ec t right might be acquired, but, according to th e law of na tions, there was no perfect right to make an , , , such demand. Mr. Week, the American Minister at Berlin, had laid down the law that no State had a right to make any such demand unless there was a Specific compact for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Mr. HINI)LEY presented thirty-three petitions for the total and immediate repeal of the corn -laws. One petition signed by upwards of 5,000 persons from the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne ; one froth Mossley signedrf from I,ooo th persons, e u3,e c r oft u o d f e ‘ the v , Ashtonfrom lil l o e r fo s I r e m y f ß r a m n c A h Association, from the workpeople of Messrs. A. and S. Rycroft, from the workpeople of Mr. Peter Platt and of Mr. Evan Leigh, Ashton, from Mr. Boulton Moli neaux and his family, Warrington, from the workpeople of of Mr. T. Eskrigge, of Messrs W. and J. Hicks, War rington, from the Independent Dissenters Upper Mile Saddieworth, and the Wesleyan Methodists Ashton under-Lyne, and from the workpeople etnployed in twenty different firms in the parish of Manchester. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Bir mingham, signed by upwards of 3,000 persons, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws, and the removal of all restrictions on national : industry. The Hon. Member also presented the following petition : To the Honourthle the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled, The Petition of the Church and Congregation worshipping at Ebenezer Chapel, Steelhouse-lace, Birmingham ; Humbly snoweth.—That your petitioners beg to state, that, in their opinion, the agricultural interest is of vast importance to the prosperity of the British nation, but as what is morally wrong cannot be politically right, they are decidedly of opinion that to attempt to support that interest. by any indirect taxation on the coutmercialint,rests of the kingdom is no less impolitic than unjust, and necessarily calculated to injure rather than promote it. Your petitioners therefore pray your Honourable Ilouss at once to repeaVall laws which tend to enbarice the price of bread, and for the following reasons :- 1. Such law's are based on injustice, as the following state ment will prove ;—• The Corn-laws, and indeed all laW, which tend to enhance the price of provisions arc a tax, not. on wealth but on poverty, and the tax becomes oOressive in an exact ratio to the de, green of a man's poverty. . _ . . . This is evident fronfthe foßowingicaleinf calculation. Assuming that the ta l i4ites . the.price Of a loaf from sixpence to eightpence, every cdpstimei of such . a lo4f pays a.tax of two pence. o" • A man has a family, copsisting of six members,'who consume one loaf a day, his income is one guinea, tivo, five, ten,. fifty. His neighbour has also silr in his . tismily ; but as they have no meat, or fish, or eggs t.l.c)cit, no ale or wine to dri n k, th e y w ill consume two loaves a clay. This man's income is three shil- pings, two shillings, or eighteen.pence a day. Thus, while the rich man, whose income is fifty guineas a day, pays only two pence as his quota of the tax, thg poor man who has only eighteen-pence a day pays fourpence. Your petitioners, therefore, sole only protest against a law which is based on such unjust and iniquitous principles, and now appeal to your Honourable House, and ask Whether you can reasonably expect the great mass of our labouring popu lation to remain contented pith such a scheme of legislation. 2. Such laws, by their practical operation, inflict such a vast amount of suffering on the great masses of the people, while they tend, at the same time, to increase thg wealth .of the affluent. The rich landlord, whose rent is raised by the operation of the Corn-laws, can afford to indulge his appetite with all the luxuries which the most remote countries can supply ; but this indulgence is gratified by entailing the most appalling suffering on the poor. They are doomed to a con dition of half starvation m the land of abundance. They wander about the streets telling their tale of woe, or remain within their dreary habitations pouring forth their lamentations in tones too agonizing to disclose. Thousands and tens of thousands are not half fed, and while they are compelled . to devote all their money to purchase food, they are all left with out a zufficiency of clothing, of fuel, and of all the other com forts of life. 3. Such laws tend to promote universal discontent, and, un less repealed, will cause the suffering poor to long for some or ganic cnange in the political constitution of the country. The suffering poor know that many of the aristocracy are dissatisfied with the laws ; that the late Government and their gracious Queen wished to effect a change in these unjust and cruel laws ; that some of the members of the present Administration have, by their speeches and pamphlets, protested against these laws as the primary cause of national suffering ; that the manu facturers, tradesmen, and especially that the patriotic Dissent ing ministers of the country, denounce these laws as in opposi tion to the laws of God as laid down in the Scriptures ; and to suppose, while they know this accumulating amount of dissatis faction is daily increasing amongst the classes above them, that they will patiently submit to their sufferings without cherishing feelings hostile to the Government, which could, but which neglects, to relieve them, would beno less childish th an a b sur d. Your petitioners, therefore, hope that your Honourable House will take the subject of an early and entire repeal of these unjust laws into your serious consideration. And your petitioners will ever pray. Mr. C. WOOD presented several similar petitions from congregations in the town of Halifax. Mr. DENISTOUN :presented 128 petitions from Glas gow and other places, one of which bore 54,658 signa tures.—(Hear, hear.) That petition denounced the measure of the Government as an insult to the country, and in that he cordially agreed with them.—(llcar, hear.). The petitioners, however, had no hope of any beneficial remedy from the House as at pre:;ent constituted. Mr. BROTHE R TON presented 14 petitions from places in Lancashire and Cheshire, for a total repeal of the Corn laws.

That the truth of this allegation wits rendered more manifest each succeeding year by the ram decline of commerce and manufactures. That vast Waltitudes of their countrymen Were suffering privatiniig from want. of employment and want of food, which must breed burning discontent, and portend alarming cala mities to the nation ;. that.these laws increased the ren MI of the landlords •of 'Britain, at the exease_ of a grievous wrong committed upon all other classes of the community. They, therefore, prayed for the immc•liate and total abolition of all iaailia which prevented the free importation of grain and provlaiotia, The petition was :.ianed be fen. thousand and ten name§ lti the borough of Rochdale. 1145 Pon. Member also presented ..a pAition from the Soc'ie'ty of Friends. ' They alleged that i any obstruction to the free iitipbmnion of provisions was directly opposed to the divine disientiaattons of Provi dence ; that such laws doomed thousatiX to the horrors of famine, and were at veriance with not fatly the tem poral but the eternal interept, of man ; that such unrighteous legislation must lAN; frightful retri bution, and indict awful calamities OD the nation. The Honourable Member also presented :wither petition from the congregation of Wesleyan Methodists, These petitioners, among other allegations, stated, that these laws were injurious to the morals of the people ; seriously hindering the spread of religion, and prevented, to a deplorable degree, the benign effects which Chris tianity was calculated to produce.

SPADE DUTIES. Mr. HUTT wished to put a question 'to the Bight Honourable Baronet the First Lord of the Treasury on a subject of great importance. He wished to know whe ther her Majesty's Government recognised the right of Hanover to exact duties under the name of Stade duties, except in conformity with the treaty of 1691, which fixed the maximum at one sixteenth per cent, ad valorem. Sir B. PEEL said that the subject was under the con sideration of her Majesty's Government and a Com missioner had lately arrived from Hanover for the pur pose of concluding the negotiations between. the two Governments ; and he trusted that in that state of the affair the Hon. Member would not press him for any more determinate answer. BONDED CORN. • Sir D. ROCHE begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentle men, for the satisfaction of the large holders of bonded corn and cattle—(Great laughter)—when it was intended to apply the new duties, should his measure ever pass the House —(Laughter)--to provisions now in bond. Sir R. PEEL understood the question to be- —sup posing the measure should pass—in what time was it proposed to apply the new duties to corn bonded in thi s country ?--(Hear, hear, from Sir D. Roche.) He could not see why the new duties should not come immediately into operation on the passing of the Act. As to cattl e , he was not aware of th ere being any—(Laughter)—b u t perhaps the Hon. Bart. was referring to a former statement of his (Sir R. Peel's). What he meant was, in reference to other articles of provision besides corn ; it wa s hi s opinion, and that of his colleagues, that the prohibition ought not to exist.—(Hear.) PRODUCTION OF SUGAR. IN THE WEST INDIES. Mr. cf. BERKELEY begged ic) call the Attention of COLONIAL DUTIPS. Mr. LABOUCIIERE wished to put a question to the, Right Hon. Gentleman the Vice-President of the Boarti of Trade, respecting the regulating duties of the Colo nies, which he was bringing before the consideration of • the House. It MIS relative to the importation of corn from America into Canada. The House wits aware that at present the importa tion of corn and flour from America into Canada was duty free, and the qnestion he wished to ask, was whe ther he was to understand the effect of the schedule of duties laid on the table of the House, to be to put a duty of 3s. a quarter on American flour imported from America into Canada. Mr. G LADSTONE said that the resolution which had been announced to the House was unquestionably one which would raise the question of placing a duty of 3s. on corn imported from America. The question would be raised, ~•,•ui.l he would then state the intention of the Government. IMPORTATION Or FLOUR (IRELAND). _ Mr. LA BOUCHERE wished to ask .the Right Hon- Baronet (Sir R. Peel) whether it was the intention of " Government to allow the importat ion of flour into Ireland, which was now prohibited under the new Corn-law. Sir R. PEFA, was aware that Irish Members took great interest in this subject, and remembered the op position they gave last Session to the proposition in volved in the present question ; but he was bomul to say, that in case of a change of the Corn and Provision lawS, he could adopt no special legislation ; for thoth it was a provision exporting country, no exception could be made in her favour.--(hear.): Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice to the effact that where. the question of the importation of provisions from the Colonies came before the House, he would take the sense of the House on the question, whether or not it was competent for the House to tax the Colonies.--(Hear.) Sir R. PEEL moved that the Order of the Day - be now read, but Mr. ROEBUCK said he begged first to put a questio u to the Speaker respecting the rules of proceeding in the' House. It had been given out that the Speaker had said that no Member of the House had the power to move a resolution in the House, as distinguished from a Com mittee, to the effect that no duty ought to be levied on corn. Now he (Mr. Roebuck), begged to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman, whether he as Speaker, deemed it im competent for him (Mr. Roebuck), or any other Me Aber of the House, to move a resolution in the House, as Llis tinguished from a Committee, to the effect that ti xis House is not prepared to adopt any plan whir ti purposes to impose any duty on corn imported from, foreign countries ? Before a motion condemning a sliding-scale was proposed by the Noble Lord, he (Mr. II.) wanted to know whether he war empowered to pro pose a resolution proposing any duty whatever ? The SPEAKER said that all questions directly relat ing to trade were required by the Standing Orders to be moved in a Committee of the whole House ; but it was possible by wording the resolution in a general way to take the sense of the House on the question, whether or not a duty should be imposed on corn. Certainlp this would not be the regular way ; the regular way would be in a Committee of the whole House. Lord ELIOT, in reply to a question, which was almost inaudible proposed by air. Powell, On the subject of Grand Juries in Ireland, said that his (Lord Eliot) could not give a distinct answer until he had received the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the subject ; and -with res,wct to local governments, any genteman herea) ter placed in such a situation, must be perfectly liable to a) ey alterations that might be made. THE CORN-LAWS.—ADJOURNED DEBATE. Sir R. PEEL now moved that the House resolve itself" into a Committee of the whole House, and resume the debate on the duties affecting the import of foreigncorn. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, Sir, I believe I should in no way diminish the difficulties of the task I have. undertaken, or obtain greater power for my arguments,. if I were to commence my address to the House by pre face or introduction. Therefore, Sir, I shall at once C. the attention of the House to the position in which they now stand. The question of the Corn-laws has hem submitted to us by the first Minister of the Crown, In proposing the scale he has laid before us, he has not, only acted upon the authority of the Government over which he presides ; but he has also informed us that having collected the opini ons o f those most interested in agriculture, he found there were but very Kn/ of that class, who were not in favour of some modification of the existing corn-laws. We, there fore, now stand in the situation of considering the Corn-laws with a view to alteration by almost gene ral consent.—(Hear, hear.) The cry is no longer that of no surrender.—(Cheers.) The question is as to the terms of the continuation.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, if tl'at be the case ; if we are prepared to condemn the present! Corn-laws as unfit to be longer continued on the , Statute Book as inapt for the purpose for which. they have been enacted, of regulating the tirade; in corn ; I say then, without fear of contra diction, that it is of the utmost importance that you should make - that change upon sound principles ; that you should endeavour to make it give as much as pos sible of general - satisfaction ; especially to that dis tressed portion of the community, of whose condition we have heard such lamentable accounts from both sides of the House ; and lastly, that it should be such a lave that it would not be liable to cause an immediate fresh. agitation of the question, but that all who are to live under that law, all who have transactions, in that most important of all articles, the article of food, which com prehends, in its various classes, the whole community, • that they should be aware of t he stat e of l d to arun th d t: t under which they are to live ; 'and be g rel d'tur c — re b state 0-1 ear) for a time at least, it will not fruits Because, although it m ay be wise to co ncede, yet,when the we concede, we ought to look for tion. It may be wise to disturb a law that now it afresh, upon exists ; yet to settle nothing-. but when we make that disturbance, we ought to do it better ffoourndthaetiorpoTsoe of g d not conciliate, to disturb the present state of things and
