cure, and that they are administering in good ear nest. In the mean time, " what are The people doing ?" They are up every where, and meeting by.eounties, towns, &e., every where. Middlesex and Southwark yesterday ; Gloucestershire to-day ; Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire, and Wilts next Fri day. We shall have another list for to-morrow's Paper. So much for " re-action !" The re port of the meeting at Leeds has just reached us, and their Lordships will find it well worthy of perusal.—Times. Lord Londonderry's menaced motion on the sub ject of the Chancellor's absence from the woolsack the preceding evening, was heard last night in the House of Lords. However hersot might regret such absence, it would not, is hink, be very grievous to the Noble Lord who made the com plaint if it were more frequent, as his superior mind can derive no information from the learning and ta lents of the Chancellor, and may yet perhaps fall short of the stoical apathy which renders the pos sessor of it insensible to reproof. He will there. fore have nothing to gain, and may occasionally lose something of comfort and self-complacence, by the Learned Lord's presence. It may, indeed, be pre dicated of the attack on the Lord Chancellor, as was once predicated of an attack equally abortive on the public purse, by one not unfavourable to the family of the Castlereaghs,—" This is too bad."— Lord Brougham's explanation was deemed so satis factory by the House, that it only brought out some general remarks from Lord Eldon on the office of Chancellor, and the matter dropped.—Tintes. The conduct of the West India merchants in the case of the sugar refineries, is anything but credit able to that body. They knew very well that their distress is not caused in the slightest degree, by the refining of foreign sugar for re-exportation ; and their endeavour to avail themselves of the sympathy of well-meaning but ignorant members, by persuading them to destroy a valuable branch f our manufac tures, in which much capital has been embarked, as a means of affording them relief, 'is as revolting a specimen of malevolence as ever we remember to have witnessed. The statements of the West In dians refute themselves. During the late discussion in the House of Commons, it was made quite clear that the foreign sugars refined in this country could could in no one respect interfere with the monopoly of the home-market enjoyed by the West Indians; or contribute, in the slightest degree, to keep down prices. The monopoly of the home-market is un availing, so long as the supply greatly exceepls the demand, and British sugar must compete wi Cuba and Brazil sugar in the continental market. If not an ounce of foreign sugar were refined in this country, our sugars would not the less exceed the home de mand, and their price consequently would not the less be regulated by the continental price. But our West Indian merchants are dishonest not only in pretending that they can be benefited bythe destruction ofthe sugar refineries, but also in concealing from the public many of the circumstances which contribute materially to the difficulties of our own planters. We call atten tion to an able letter to Lord Althorp, in another column, signed " Mercator," in which several of these circumstances are exposed in a masterly manner. Our readers need nor be told that the real proprietors of most of the West India e-tares are merchants in this country, who, in the character of mortgagees, endeavour in a time of peace to ex tort from the unhappy planters charges which war and monopoly prices could alone support. Your Lordship is, doubtless, aware, says the writer, " that the great majority of the old West India estates are under mortgage to merchants of this country, but the onerous conditions of which are, perhaps, not eo well known to be the causes of a great portion of the distress complained of by the colonists; for, in addition to the colonial inte rest of six per cent. payable on the loan, the whole produce of their estates must be consigned to the mortgagee for sale, subject to exorbitant freights, commissions, and charges, and a great por tion of the supplies necessary for their estates re ceived through the same agency, and subject to similar extravagant charges. These, however they might be borne by the planter during the war, when our colonists had almost the exclusive supply of the European markets, can no longer be sustained against the competition inevitably resulting from the exclusion in India, Brazil, the United States, and other countries." The writer does not content himself with this general statement, but proceeds to exemplify them. The mortgagee nets 15 per cent. in the article of freight—be charges the planter a commission of from ten to twelve per cent., where a foreign sugar-grower would only pay two and a half to three per cent. In charges of various descriptions the planter pays one shilling per cent. more than is paid by the foreign planter in this or any other European market. In short, besides the charges on supplies to the estates, which cannot well be estimated, the planter is taxed by the mort gagee beyond what is paid by the foreign sugar grower, fully four shillings per cwt., or thirty per cent on the gross rental of his estate. If the profits .of West Indian estates could support a nominal proprietary in the colonies, and mortgagees living like Noblemen in the squares of London, with splendid villas, and all that, we should have nothing to say; but it is well known that they cannot. A planter, who possesses a capital of his own,and can send his produce to any consignee and to any market, may do very well. There are also many West Indian houses who live according to their profits, like mer chants, and not like Noblemen, who grow rich. But the compound of the Nobleman and the merchant, who, because be could spend twenty of 30,000/. a year in war, would live at the same rate now, is sure in the long run to go to destruction. And we are assured, that in more than one of the late failures of great West India houses, the cause has not been losses of any kind, but extravagant expenditure be, yond the profits. In fact, the merchants of London have, for a long time past, been doing much to lower the character which British merchants ever bad. The commission trade has, we know, been in A great measure lost, from the tricks played with double ins v oices, and extravagant charges of various kinds. Time facility of communication by means of steam.packets, has induce principals to frequent our markets, and purchase for themselves at the cheapest rate. The writer, alluding to the above tatlie4t, asks, " how is it that the mortgagee, who derives so large an in come from his capital, lent to the colonist, is also In distress ? The answer is a very simple oness- That in many cases the planter, through misma. nagement or extravagance, has not been enabled to fulfil his contract. He' (the mortgagee) who formed his expenditure on war prices and profits, and has (continued them since the peace (with, perhaps, his seat in Parlament), has been ruined by his own ex penditure; whilst the prudent, economical, and in dustrious merchant (in which the instances are much more numerous, as well in this city as in CO out ports) has, during the same period, enjoyed as great, if not a greater, show of prosperity, than time mer-1 chant engaged in any other branch of commerce." We have seen a letter on the subject of the charges on the planters, which corroborates part of the state ment above alluded to :—" Where the bills of lad ing are filled up at 51., the captain of the ship draws a bill on his owners for 3/. to 400/., reducing the freight to 31, or even below. This difference is a great per tentage, independent of the tremendous discounts to the consignees in the purchase of ma• chinery and utensils for work:ng." The West In dians cannot draw more from the estates than the profits will bear. If these profits are not adequate to the support of a resident planter, and a mort gagee living in a palace in one of our squares, one of the two m ust g o the wall. We r e m em b er b e i ng very much struck with an account in an able French I‘ writer, of the cause s of the superiorityNN of the F renc h Over the English co lonies in the Loeusitslxndlives.., prohi. all traced to one single law of biting mortgages. The consequences of ,. this law was that the Paris and Bordeauxcapitaists, wo wished to lend money to colonists, were o bliged t h o reside on the spot in order to become acquamte.d with the characters of planters. The planters again were obliged to keep their estate s till a purchaser possessed of capital could be found, having no ' power over the estate after they parted with it. In this way St. Domingo, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and the other French colonies, bore the aspect of civilized countries. The towns were elegant—they had churches, theatres, well paved streets, while even in our most civilized colony, Barbadoes, the principal town is but an ugly miserable place. We ' bear a great deal in this country about the injury caused by landowners being absentees. But what would be thought of absentee farmers ? In the West Indies, however, we have absentee farmers, and absentee creditors of those farmers, ell claiming a right to live expensively, as if men who neglect their own affairs could com pete with men who reside on their farms or plan tations, and are not tied down to usurious cre ditors, but can send their goods to the best market, and supply their own wants at the cheapest market. The West Indians, in short, have not a leg to stand on. They should not be allowed capriciously to destroy a valuable branch of manufacture, because, forsooth, they are not as they wish to be. Ministers are bound to see justice done to all, and not to lend themselves to this or that body. We are sorry to see the same attempts to make this a party question which were made last Parliament in the case of the timber duties. But the attempt cannot succeed. There are too many independent Members in the House to allow such an attempt to succeed. The sugar-refiners say nothing whatever as to a mono poly of the West Indians. All that they say is, that their manufacture in no respect contributes to the distresses of the West Indies. It can serve no good purpose to attribute the distresses to circum stances which have no earthly connexion with them. The discovery of a coal-mine, easily worked, • frequently reduces the value of another mine to nothing. Colonies abounding in fertile land have rendered many of old colonies less valu able. These revolutions are constantly taking place. If the West Indians can lighten the pressure of these evils well and good ; but the country will not suffer them, merely because they have not suc ceeded in their speculations, wantonly to destroy other branches of industry.—Morning Chronicle. We received last night, through the Hamburg Mail, accounts from Poland as late as the 17th inst. This intelligence is not all that we could wish, but as compared with preceding arrivals, it is absolutely cheering; and as it at length begins to emit a ray of light upon the fortunes of the brave patriot army, whose fate and " place of abode we knew not of" since the fall of the capital, and to afford another gleam of hope for the almost doomed independence of Poland, we receive it in thankfulness, and are but too much disposed to place trust in it as almost infallible. For whether in the result, the Poles become, or escape being, the slaves of Russia, it is exhilirating to know that there is still a spot within the line of ancient Poland where the voice of liberty is upraised, and the protest of the freeman pro nounced in all its pristine vigour of angry denuncia tion on the Autocrat's tyranny. It appears now quite certain that the army has not yet succumbed to the conqueror of the citizens of Warsaw, but is in the field, projecting new plans, and embalming fresh resolutions of defying the worst in the cause of its country. The papers to which we refer contain three official reports from the camp of General Rozycki, Commander of the armed force of the palatinates of Cracow, Sandomir, and Kalisch. One of these reports, after detailing a variety of skirmishes with General Rudiger, proceeds to give an account of the capture of Warsaw, which is a little different from, and in a very considerable degree detracts from the great credit which the Russians assumed to them selves in that affair. It says the first trenches had been already taken, and the enemy was forcing his way upon the ramparts, when General Rybinski arrived with a brigade, and killed and wounded upwards of 10,000 men. On the following day, the 7th, Marshal Paskewitsch summoned the city, declaring that he would plant 250 pieces of artil lery against it. This summons not having produced the desired effect, at one o'clock in the afternoon the Russians pressed forward upon all points between the Jerusalem and Mokatow barriers, and between the Wola barriers and the Laboratory. But the 26th regiment offered resistance on every point, and at eleven o'clock in the evening the attack ceased. On the following day the army evacuated the capital through the fear that the fire, which had broken out in the suburb, might spread, and destroy the city walls : a temporary armistice followed, and the enemy desisted from further operations. The loss of the Russians exceeds 12,000 men. Gene rals Geismar, Gortschakoff, Ulazoff, and almost all the commanding officers, are wounded. Mar shal Paskewitsch himself has received a severe contusion. The Government, the Members of the Chambers, and all the public functionaries, artillery, ammunition, and every material of defence, have been removed to Modlin. The narrative then goes on to state that General Ktukowiecki had resigned the dignity of President of the National Govern ment, and had now no longer any official authority in the country. The chances for the Poles, as op posed to their gigantic enemy, are then stated, and may be summed up as follow :—The enemy, weakened by severe losses before Warsaw, will be obliged, if he attempt to retain possession of that city, to garrison it with half his army. He will then have but the other moiety to act with ; and opposed by such an inconsiderable force, the pa triot troops, now from 40,000 to 60,000 strong, may be trying what it can do in rousing Lithuania and the other provinces of ancient Poland into re sistance. The operations of the Poles may so far succeed as to isolate the Russians in Warsaw from their resources, and, except the aid which they re ceive from that treacherous power Prussia, to de prive them of hope altogether. The occupation of the capital would thus in effect prove, as such things have happened before now, much worse than a defeat to the conquerors. " For Poland," as one of those extraordinary characters, which are the creatures of extraordinary emergencies only, ex claims, "is not Warsaw—the native country of the Poles lies within the shores of the Vistula, the Niemen, the Dnieper, the Bug, and the D wine, which have, in earlier times, witnessed the heroism of the Polish nation. We must not forget our oath, to defend to the last drop of our blood the last square foot of our native soil." And the proclamation of General Rozycki calls upon the Poles not to consi der the period of the armistice as one of repose, but to employ it in preparing for renewed efforts to re- confider 'the independence of their country. These official documentli then proceed to point to some ar rangements, rendered necessary by the state of the country, and conclude by stating th,e• advantages Vib;0:311 the patriot arms have obtained. in They say— "So lepg i s e the Government is not direct com munication with too pp.latinates of Kalisch, Cracow, and Sandomir, the Presidents of those palatinates, and such of the national represerstativee as happen to invested with supreme antieeeity. General Romarino, who marched from ?rage =) the 22d August, pursued the corps of Generals ..Frolow;t: and Rosen, whom he defeated twipe, at Luckow and Itliendxyrzetz, and then pursued the remnant, on the Stith, in the direction of Brersc-Litewski ? " In other re spects, no means seem to have been untried to keep up the desponding spirits of the nation The spirited Members of the government, who had disdained to submit to the Raps:ans, had, it would seem, brought with them the m eans of excitingthe whole of Poland to a contieuation of generous re- sistance. The appearance of a new paper, the National Gazette, is attributed to some of the Members of the Diet, who have accompanied the army. The first number, which has just appeared, contains a proclamation addressed to the Polish na tion, calling upon all capable of bearing arms to con tinuesoe days ago From Augustowo we learn that m a ago a small detachment of Polish in surgents arrived there. The Russian garrison of Augustowo retreated on the first appearance of soonbeen the insurgents, whose force hadben greatly ro v e the e x insurgents out, of w ho - a ggerat ed ; but they to many returned, were taken and e drove punished with death. The foregoing accounts from Cracow receive some countenance from the Vienna Papers ; but the picture which the latter draws of the prospects of the patriots is much less glowing. The Austrian Observer of September 14 says—" Some friends of the Poles assert, however (which seems rather improbable), that the army will join to it the garrisons of Modlin and Zamosc, march to Volhynia, and at the worst proceed thence through Moldavia to Turkey, and seek the protec tion of the Porte. That the Polish agents sent to Constantinople really contemplated the possibility of leading the Polish army to Turkey, in case all other means of escape should fail, appears from various conversations which they held with several influen tial persons there." May we hope that, from the midst of these jarring statements, some assurance may be elicited that Polish independence and Polish honour will not be entirely disregarded. It would appear from these papers that the cholera is making frightful progress in Austria. The Paris papers, which we have since our last further re ceived to the date of Monday, contain no politi cal news of any importance. Prussia seems to have given some fresh grounds for uneasiness, by new warlike movements in its Rhenish provinces. The Carlists were making some disturbances in the south of France, and the news of the fall of War saw had produced generally a sensation of lively re gret; in many of the country towns the people put themselves into mourning. The debates in the De puties were not of any importance. In a debate on a petition from some military officers, the Minister of Foreign Affairs took an opportunity of declaring that France was determined to keep at peace; that being, he said, the true interest of all countries, at all times.—Morning Herald. The Marquis of Westminster appears ready to act the part of an English Montmorenci in the work of Revolution. On presenting the petition of (nominally) the inhabitants of Westminster, agreed to at the thinnest and most paltry meeting on record, the Noble Marquis adopted, we regret to say, much of the violent language common among the pot house radicals, and in one of his arguments decidedly out-did the most extravagant of his new allies. " If," said he, "the House of Commons are de sirous of reforming themselves, why should the House of Lords interfere ?" Thus, accord ing to the Noble Marquis, the question of Re form affects the House of Commons only; it is an affair of their own, and the House of Lords have no more concern in it, and ought no more to interfere, than if the question were a Re form in the Turkish Divan. A more extraordinary assertion than this was never ventured in any de liberative assembly; indeed, we are utterly unable to account for such apparent obtuseness of com prehension. Truly, were all the Members of the House of Lords on a level with the Noble Mar quis, in their reasoning powers, were there no Peer more capable of understanding the subject on which he speaks than the Noble Mar quis. we should hesitate in the answer to be made to the Radical proposition, " What is the use of a House of Lords ?" Fortunately, however, the Marquis of Westminster is not a fair sample of that illustrious assembly to which the people of England have been accustomed to look up with respect and veneration. The Noble Marquis of course did not forget the argument, the sole argument of the Reformers. " The popular voice is loud and fa vourable. Whet ever the voice of the people has been heard, that voice has been in favour of Re form" (of the Reform Bill). Facts are the best an swer to this eternally reiterated statement. Look to the triumphant return of Anti-Ministerialists in all the popular elections since the meeting of Parliament. Look to the miserable failures in the attempts to get up Reform and intimidation meet ings. Is it because the same rabble, the same mendici,minire, balatrones, assemble in various parts of the metropolis to listen to nearly the same orators, and to agree each time to the same resolutions—is it because this expedient is adopted that the Lords are to abdicate their legislative functions and out rage their consciences ? No; the appeal is in vain made to their fears; nor will they be influenced by the vague generalities of the Reformers. They will inquire—lst, " What are the evils of the present system ?" 2dly, " What are the benefits, unat tainable at present, which you expect to derive from the Reform measure?"—Morning Post. COURT CIRCULAR. M. VAN BUREN, Minister from the United States, and the Spanish and Belgian Ministeis, visited Viscount PAtmEnsTox yesterday at the Foreign-office.

We have not yet learned their distribution.— Specta t o r. PARISH OF St. PANCRAS.—On Monday morning a numerous and highly respectable meeting of rate.. payers was held at Mr. FAIRI.IffS, in Augustus-strent, Regent's-park, to consider the propriety of withholding further parochial rates until the parishioners obtain a con trout in the appointment of vestrymen and other officers. 11. REVELL, Esq. in the chair. Several speeches were made, and resolutions adopted to promote the objects of the meeting. We are informed that there is, after all, to be an Anti-Reform candidate for the county of Dorset; and we announce the intelligence by expressing our hope that he will come forward in right earnest, in order to furnish another signal triumph on the side of Reform. He must be a bold man, or have a heavy purse at his command, to encounter a Reform opponent, even in the county of Dor set.—Morning Advertiser. CURRENCY.—The Birmingham Poli tical Union, after f,ve nights' discussion, have resolved to present a memorial to Eatl GARY, praying for the enact ment of certain palliative measures. The first proposed was the making of silver a legal tender; secondly, the re issuing of I/. notes, and making these a legal tender ex cept 14 th e Sank itself ; and, thirdly, the re-issuing of the large non sof the auk of England recently called in ; in fact, increasing the Bank isauea from 17,000,000 1 - to 25,000,0001. A memorial recommending these measures, and drawn up by Mr. ATTWOOD, was carried ; and a depu tation, consisting of Mr. Arrwoon, Mr. JONES, and Mr. MuN'T;, was appointed to present it to Earl GREY. Some serious rioting occurred at Sevenoaks on the evening of the King's Coronation, The residences of M. Answtsr, Esq. at Kippington, and 41r. Knnson, surgeon, were attacked by a mob, several hundred strong, who destroyed windows, furniture, and other property, to the amount of 400?. or 5001. Some of the ringleaders have been apprehended, and are now in Maidstone gaol for trial at the ensuing sessions. —County Clzronick. PIN MONEY.—With all the vivacity of de scription and brilliancy of style characteristic of the Authoress of "Women as they Are," the present work will be found of great value to young ladies entering the world. It exhibits fashionable Zile, indeed, in the zenith of its gaiety, but fails not likewise to reveal with searching truth the latent trials and mortifications with which it is beset. The theatre of society is thus made to furnish the full amusement of its scenic display, by the exposure of the hollow contrivances that lend their secret agency to the effect, FROM THE GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

(From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) The West India interests are thrown into a state of the greatest agitation. The Jamaica Papers received yesterday give an ex tract of a despatch from the Colonial Secretary, Lord Goderich, to the Governor of Jamaica, stating that Ministers have no measure to propose respecting slavery, except the following up of the resolutions of 1823, respecting the amehoration of the state of the slaves. This, we suspect, is far from being the case; we understand that Orders in Council have already been transmitted to the Crown Colonies—ordering rations, similar to the soldiery —two suits of raiment per annum—two pairs of shoes—regula tions as to the quantity of flour and diet; and as many of these regulations are contrary to the terms of capitulation when the colonies were given up to England, the measures are refused, and an answer has been returned that they cannot be complied with. There is also another Order of Council about to be issued for the British Colonies, allowing the negrces to purchase their freedom, if not altogether, for one day in the week, for two days, and so on, till their emancipation is completed, and similar regulations, as to food and clothing, as in the Crown Colonies.—The Sugar Refinery Bill is to be brought forward to-morrow. SUGAR.—The estimated sales of Muscovades last week were 3,000 hhds. and trs. ; the Market has a firmer appearance. The stock of West India Sugar is now 55,267 hhds. and trs., which is 1,048 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius 124,851 bags, being 87,254 more than last year. The delivery of West India Sugar last week 3,530 hhds. and trs., being 281 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 6,764 bags, being 2,458 more than in the corresponding week of 1830 . Al the conclusion of this day's Market the estimated sales were 800 hhds. and trs. at full prices. The destruction of the Island of Barbadoes by a hurricane, 11th ult. had no effect on the Sugar Market. Towards the close of last week the demand for Refined goods increased very considerably, and the prices advanced 6d. to Is. per cwt.; low Lumps 61s. 6d. and 625., and the market was nearly cleared at the improvement ; the sales of fine goods were also extensive, but generally at lower prices. The Refined Market is quiet this afternoon, on account of the few good, left on the Market, about 400 hhds. lately sold. :The Market is firm. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The Mauritius Sugars sold last week rather heavily, but withk•ut any marked difference in the prices. Bengals sold a shade lower; Manilla at former rates. This day 6,515 bags Mauritius sold at full Market prices, 325. 6d. a 50s. 6d., a few of the brown taken in ; 4,177 bags Manilla sold at a small advance, 19s. 6d. a '22s. 6d. FOREIGN SUGARS.-The white Brazil Sugars are held with great firmness, in the expectation that the Foreign Sugar Re finery Bill will pass into a law. The sales of yellow Havannah have been considerable, 255. being an advance of Is. to Is. 6d. ; the white neglected. Low Brazil Sugars have sold in parcels at higher prices, 15s. 6d. a 18s. Average price of Sugar 11. 2s. '7d. per cwt. COFFEE.-At the public sales last week the low descriptions of British Plantation Coffee again advanced 2s. ; good ord. Ja maica 68s. a 695., fine ord. 725. a 735., and low mid. 745. a 765. The other purchases consisted of large parcels of Brazil 465. 6d. a 475., St. Domingo 475., Sumatra 395. a 405., Batavia 425. a 475. Mocha Coffee fell 2s. a3s , considerable sales 645. a 658. This day 168 casks 23 brls. British Plantation sold again 2s. higher, broken Jamaica 695., good ord. 71s a 735. ; of 30 casks 1,026 bags Cuba only a small part sold, fine ord. to mid. 68s. to 755. RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLANGS.-The Rum market continues dull, notwithstanding the large quantity lately taken for shipping; a parcel under proof Is. 4 d., but there are buyers at that price, and no sellers under Is. sd. ; some low parcels of Jamaica have been taken for export at low prices.-Brandy is more firm, and the purchases considerable.-In Geneva there is no alteration. HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.-The Tallow market is very firm, and-from the late purchases we may expect large deliveries for home consumption; the quantity delivered from the ware houses last week was nearly 5,000 casks.-Hemp is very dull, and may again be purchased lower.-Flax at nearly nominal quotations. OILS.-Oils continue to be held with firmness, and are ad vancing on account of the absence of all reports of the Davis' Straits Fishery ; the rise is 1/. to 2/. FRUIT.-There are arrivals of new Fruit, but no actual sales. About 260 pack Currants sold last week, butts 665. a 695., care teels 68s. a 70s.

INDIGO.-The declarations for the next sale are now nearly 9,000 chests, and snore are expected ; the Market here is very heavy, on account of the sales at Liverpoolbeing3d. per lb. lower. TEA.-The delivery of all descriptions since the sale has been immense. Bolleas are now at 3s. 9 1 „ i : d. duty paid, being an ad vance on sale's prices of 3d. per lb. on those which cost Is. 9,4 d.

IT, Lords Commissioners were—the Loan CHANCELLOR , ' Archbishop of CANTERBURY, end the Duke of flaceratose' The Duke of WELLINGTON presented two petiti o ° l • from Queenborough, and one from Seaford against lta ", Reform Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition ft,..e °l Walbroek Ward, in the city of London, in favour of : Reform Bill. The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from D 9e. peth in favour of Reform. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented two Pe. ti. tions from Galway in favour of an extension of the elec t.° franchise. Lord CLONCURRY presented a petition from 1118 city of Dublin in favour of Reform. The Noble L° l ' stated that the petition was agreed to at a meeting Oiled by the Lord Mayor. Lord BEXLEY presented a petition from Harwiell. against Reform. Lord TENTERDEN moved that the Prescription Ltt mitations Bill be printed with the amendments, and tba the report he received on Friday next. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said be was Of it had fallen to the lot of so humble an individual as hie r ; self to grapple or complain of the Noble and Learne d Lord on the Woolsack. It had been said by the Noble and Learned Lord • that that House was most disorderly he had seen. He (the Marquis 0 Londonderry) must say, that be had never seen 6 , 8 Noble and Learned Lord rise to order but the tltta.7• attention was paid to him, and he hoped that at the ti t ' that statement was made to have seen some Noble I , °, more competent than him take up the subject. P e undoubtedly .considered that the first duty of the pe r : son 'filling the situation of Load Chancellor was bra attendance to his duty in that House. He (the Margo" of Londonderry) had a motion relative to foreig a , affairs, which he should have brought forward te g ___' night even in the absence of the Noble Earl (Grey), Pr' vided the Noble and Learned Lord, who was the chamni°° of the Government on all occasions, and particularly those rele ring to foreign matters, had been in his place,hut to the absence of both those Noble personages he co l t not bring it forward. Was it to be allowed that the Noh' e and Learned Lord should take to himself such a large shar e of praise for attention to the duties of his office, and others, had had such men as Canning, Castlereagh, who, he believed, had fallen a sacrifice to their e ° or 11 ,:: etant application to the cares of Government. one, would not hear such praises heaped upon the 1 1 °,...." 1 and Learned Lord without entering his protest an them. Was it to be allowed also that the Noble a° Learned Lord should be in town, receiving large 0 1 4 , 01 ; ments, and yet not attend to his duties in his place ? to third standing order on their Lordships' books referredio such a case. It might be admitted to him and other's! ° had been bred in the camp the he' to outstephe of the orders of the House, but it was t o duty of a Lord Chancellor to know and to obey t h _& rules. The Noble Marquis concluded by throwing hi upon the House, stating that be was aware be ought i 4 have left this subject to one more competent than bin e but he felt it his duty to bring it forward, because felt it was the first duty of the Lord Chancellor to st t in his place in that House. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Never was there ° i f human being in any office or place, or connected with 1 0 office or place, against whom a charge was brought utterly and entirely without foundation as the charge I L ° lf preferred by the Noble Marquis against him. He certal,; , felt distressed at being the cause of their Lordsh`r; valuable time being taken up with a matter purely, sonal to himself; but he would have felt much more a 2; tressed if he could have been justly accusedof ,ligew ne and a want of attention to his duty. But he ,0 ° ° „ 1 state a few circumstances from which it would llPP e ' r when they:, that he could not be charged with negligence ° a want of attention to his duty either here or elsesvh e T and therefore felt no anxiety about the result of the 14°.b be Marquis's accusations. The charge against him was, th at had been negligent and careless of discharging his duty by , seating himself from his place in that House without cau se o .. ,l that he had absented himself without any necessity or g Lie cause, leaving others to do his duty for him. The u% Marquis, while he ascribed to him a degree of talent a y e merit to which he had no pretensions, had added th at d ,' had n o great e r m er it th an hi s p re d ece ssors. Non's! c h o a a n a se a ki ryy thata n any d claim without therei t ho u tot was merit,one making thinga did c in so ai in happenmitting that he was not wo r thy t o occ upy the place 1 0 4 11 , ha I been held by th ose w h om b e h a d succeeded, yet, W r s s i u had got through th e arrear o f b us i ness o f t h e Court Chancery °f yield to none of hi s p re d ecessors , an d t h at was, in a stant and perpetual d es i re , a b ove a ll ear thly things, t r i tlwhichto merit,e l l l e must i t making wo tbui2 gently and anxiously to perform the duties of his 107 j tion.—( Hear, hear.) Party might sometimes be aro thing, but never had a man been so blinded by party the Noble Marquis was when he charged him with neg . ,) genre and a want of attention to his duty,—(Hear, b eer ' Such a degree of blindness, arising from party feeh, s° , was what he had never tirfore had any conception o ", h , (Hear, heir, from the Ministerial Benches.) From he silence of the Noble Lords on one side of the House/„it might conclude that he had a considerable number nit 6 o Lordships against him.—(No, no, from the OPP° e "iss Benches. His Lordship made a profound bow t ° dt Lords on that side of the House. A loud laugh on b t e sr i sides of the House.) Why, th en , h e h a d on ly the so li o f Neble Marquis himself to an s wer— or a t l eas t but al f few more. He would admit, then, that the Noble its quis had been perfectly candid in preferring his ell e he and that he had a perfect right to mak e that charge I ' o s thought proper. But he would state a few circunot s° o f in his own justification ; and he trusted to the cand o e, r o ct the Noble Marquis hims e lf fora conf es sion that his tie'fo was satisfactory. When the Noble Marquis adverted % ee ls having got rid of arrears, it looked as if he had t i making a boast of hi s h a vi ng s o d one , an d the Noble quis said that I le cou ld not b ear t o hear the services:" eh r n e at c ti i yt a h t a e eb d ys ewn o o r t e du d l d e t h t h e ea l m i v o es r e a t t e e ep d st ;f from oo a wni n and nt ht t ha b et e 0 ; 00 if.A predecessorsta:r,yuiisi a a d d f d r e e d d q , e u p t He was the last man in the world who would wish t ° pdf tract from the merits of hi s Noble an d Learned Fr' e oti who preceded him in the office of Lord Chancellor; skft if he had been able to bring up the arrear, they ha d means in his hands to enable him to do so—for tbei.,o settled and established the principles and bases of dec i° he and he had only to apply them.
