Lord FAVERSHA,ltpresented several petitions, from different places in Yorloqiire, against any alteration in the Corn Larrs ' • Lord. TEYNHAM presented petitions froth the Owners and Occupiers olLand near Dover, and from the Farmers in the Hundred of Dover, praying that no alteration might be made in the Corn Laws. His Lordship also presented a petition from the Agriculturists in the neighbourhood' of Rye, Kent, complaining of the Acts for reducing the Duty on Foreign Wool. We understood' his Lord ship to say, if no Noble Lord more competent than himself brought this subject before their Lordships, he should, at a subsequent period, eall their attention to thelevtitions. . The Marquess of BRISTOL preSented a petition from some part of the county of Suffolk, against any alteration of the Corn Laws. His Lordship said, that this question bad been represented as a contest between interests ; anti though there might be some apparent opposition between them, they must all flourish and decay together. The agriculturist could not flourish but it would be well with the manufacturers, and if the-manu-. facf:;rers flourished the landed interest. would prosper. Lord HOLLAND presented a petition from Come, Lancashire, praying for an alteration of the Cori Laws. He wished it to be understood, that he gave no opinion whatever on the subject. He entirely agreed with the Noble Marquess, that nothing was more erroneous than to consider this as a conflict between different interests. They' had all necsari.ly one interest, and all found their security in the prosperity of each other. Lord KING presented a petition, praying for the-re 'peal of the Corn Laws, from certain persons in Gloucestershire, call ing themselves members of the Anti Bread-Tax Association, No. 2. Ile had understood that his Noble Friend near him had stated, just before he entered the House, tkat this was riot a contest of interests. He admitted that it ought not to be such a contest ; but he was afraid it was a contest between principles that would lead to prosperity' and a course of policy that had been too long pursued, end would be, he was, afraid, still longer persevered' in. The plan that was forthcoming had been too long in concocting to be very beneficial. He expected to see no.'! Self denying Or dinanets-'!-lesiie from that House. The plan would be something that would not very much displease the Landed Interest. It would not be what . the people prayed for. He would contend, however, that till that which was just and right was done, there would be no peace on this question, and it would not be suffered to rest. Lord TEYNHAM objected to the petition being received. Ile thought it,wits beneath their Lordships' dignity to receive a petition from a society calling itself the Anti-Bread _Tax Association. He hoped the Noble Lord would withdraw the petition. _ _ _ Lord KING presented the petition as the petition of the persons who signed it, though it was indorsed Anti-Bread- Tax petition. Whether it were received or not, he was happy that it had been read. • The Earl of LAUDERDALE hoped the Noble Lord would withdraw hie petition. It touched him, be believed, on a tender point, when he saw that the indorsements of the peti tions were all Anti-Bread Tax petitions, and understood that there were several, all drawn up in the same words ; and when he re collected the speeches of his Noble Friend, he was at no loss to conjecture who could be the author of these petitions. , Lard.KJNC replied, whoever might be the author, wainot. The petitions must, however, give his Noble Friend considerable pleasure, as. they must convince him at least that other persons could make as great mistake. in political economy as he had made himself. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not know whether the Noble Lord had drawn up the petitions, or only in dorsed them to their - Lordships for acceptance, but there was nothing.in We indorsement which should prevent their Lordships from receiving the petition as the petition of the persons who signed it. • _ _ The petition was then t eceived, and ordered to be laid on the table; as were also two similar petitions, presented by Lord King, from certain persons calling themselves members of the Anti-bread Tax . Society, No. 31, at Stow, Gloucestershire,'and at , Gloucestershire. His Lordship next presented a petition, praying fur en altera tion of the Corn LIMO, from Dumblaine, Perthshire. CATHOLICS. The Earl of KINGSTON presented - several peti tions from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the different parishes in the county of Tipperary, in favour of the Catholics. Lord STOWEL presented a petition from South end, Kent, praying that their Lordships would grant no further concessions.to the Catholics. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented -a petition from the barony of Stebardar, in Tipperary, signed by thirteen Magistrates and most of the respectable inhabitants of the barony, against granting any further concessions to .the Catholics. The Noble Earl, in presenting the petition, complained of the in- Anc.nce exerted by the Catholic • Priests over their Rocks. The people, be said, were indifferent to the subject of Catholic Eman cipation, and would not trouble themselves about signing the pe titions. There would also be many more petitions such as that he had.presented, and they would be more numerously signed did the people not live under some apprehension for their own safety if they spoke against the Catholic,. He had known instances where individuals were prevented from speaking out by their fears. The petition called their Lordships' attention, also, to the proceedings of the Catholic Association, after an Act of Parlia ment had been passed to put it down. Viscount CLIFDEN did not rise to oppose the petition, nor had he any doubt of the respectability of the peti tioners, but he wished to say a word about the Catholic Priests. He had hesrd from the Assistant Barrister who had been present in the county of Waterford at the time of the Election, that there was no ground whatever for complaining of the Catholic. Priests. But this question was now before the House of Commons, and would soon be decided. They had exerted their interest in fa vour of their own party—and 'why not? Did not the Protestant Clergy interfere? Had they not interfered at Reading and in Surrey ; and was it to . ' be tolerated in them, and treated as a crime in the Catholics? He thought not. As to the Protestants being ready to petitiOn against the Catholics, if they dared, he would say that it was his firm conviction, that the vast majority of the Protestant landed proprietors of Ireland Were in favour of Catholic Emancipation, and in favour of it from a conviction that their own Security, the security of their families, and of their property, all depended on its being carried. This, he wa s sure, was the case in Leinster, Munster, and Connaught, and he was told it was also'tbe case in Ulster. The Catholics had suf fered from many abuses ; and it was not surprising that they were exasperated. Nobody could expect any thing else who re collected what had happened within the last twenty-five 'years. Fifty years ago . zi - Catholic Priest dared not shew himself. But if the people were, ai the Noble Lord said, indifferent, how earne.so many petitions to be laid on their Lordships' Table ? They might" not indeed be benefited by. the alteration. " Party was the madness of Many for the gain of a few ;" but had they not seen other parties in which the people were deeply interested, though they gained nothing? Only the leaders of the Whigs or Tories • ever gained any thing; but the people, nevertheless, took a warm interest in these partiei. His Lordship, begged their Lordthips to reflect seriously on Ireland, and ask them selves how all these things could end? For himself, he would again express his conviction, that till the question was settled in favour' of the Catholics, there would be neither peace nor tranquillity in Ireland. l'he Earl of IVIOTINTCASI-fEle rose to say a 6i , words in explanation. [The Earl of HARDWICKE objected, that there was no question -before their Lordships ; but the Noble Earl was suffered to proceed. 3 He said, he resided a great part of his time in Ireland, and had lately come from that country.— He knew what were the feelings of the inhabitants, and believed ithat not one in five, lie would say, not one in seven, of the Pro testants in 'lreland were favourable to Catholic Emancipation,— There were a few who, we re indifferent in matters of religion, ;there were many who Were intimidated, but the great majority PRICE in. were averse from granting the Catholics political power. He was afraid, if the question were carried, the peace of the country would he rather endangered than secured, and he would recommend. their Lordships to take time to consider what they were doing, and to pause before they went too far. _ The Catholics were all, in a great measure, led by the Members of the Catholic Associa tion. The Association. gave orders to have petitions drawn up and sent round the country, and signed by all the Roman Catho lic Inhabitants. The Priests, who were the agents of the Assn ciatinii, induced the inhabitants to sign the petitions, and, in some instances, persons were ordered to Sign them. who did not know' what they were putting their names to. ...He knew that lately, when a large body of Catholics had been assembled, the question had been put to them, which of the two things they preferred, whether the Corn Laws should remain as they were, or Catholic Emancipation, and they all replied, they wished the Corn Laws to be unaltered. They were deluded, indeed, by the representa tions of Wealth, and peace, and plenty, - which, it was sail, they would enjoy whenever the Catholic Emancipation Bill was passed, and, therefore, they might sign the petitions ; 'but otherwise he believed they cared little or nothing about the question.• Lord BELIVIORE presented a petition in favour of the Catholics from -, County of Tyrone. The petitioners, his Lordship said, were Roman Catholics of the lower orders, who petitioned their Lordships to shew that they were not indifferent to the question of Emancipation. A Person from the Penitentiary presented at the Bar the An nual Accounts of that Establishment. MACHINERY. , . Lord KING presented a petition from the Operative Sawyers of Liverpool, praying,that their Lordships 'would levy such ,a Tax on those who employed' Steam Sawing Machines, as would make those machines cost as much as manual labour. His Lordship said, as the petition was respectfully worded, he felt it was his duty to present it to their Lordships, but he could not agree to its prayer. If that were acted on, all labourers may pe tition to tax,all sorts of machinery, and the principle, must be ex tended to ploughs and spades as well as steam sawing machines. The persOns who sent this petition were, lie was afraid, labouring under great distress, and in that state men did not reason very correctly.—Adjourned. THE ARMY. Four troops of the Ist (the King's) Regiment of Dragoon Guards are ordered to march from Leeds and Rochdale, for Glasgow. Two Troops of the 9th Regiment of Light Dragoons (Lancers) are ordered to march from Carlisle, for Newcastle ; and one Troop belonging to the same Corps is ordered to march from Carlisle, for 'York.

Lord CHANDOS presented a petition from Owners and Occupiers of Land in Newport ravel, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. KING presented several petitions from Owners and Occupiers of Laud in the County of Cork, against any altera tion in the Corn Laws. Mr. DUNCOMBE presented three petitions from the Clergy, Owners, and Occupiers of Land in certain parts of Yorkshire, against any alteration in the Corn Laws. Mr. LIDDELL presented a petition against any alteration in the Corn Laws, from the Owners and Occupiers of Land in the Northern parts of Northumberland, praying fur pro tection to the Agricultural Interest. The petition, he said, was very numerously and respectably signed. The Agriculturists of Northumberland formed one of the most valuable parts of the population of the kingdom. The county exported grain to a very considerable amount, and the Agriculturists would.be,most materially injured, unless protected by an adequate duty against the overwhelming competition of foreign corn. No foreign wheat ought to be admitted, till the price at home reached 665. or 70s. per quarter. This, -at least, was necessary for the protection of the British Agriculturist. Foreign wheat might, he understood, he imported at 38.. per quarter. Mr. BELL bore testimony to the respectability of the petitioners, and fully concurred in the prayer of the petition. - All these petitions were laid on the . table ; and ordered to be ...... . . . : printed. Mr. KEIMD,Y presented three petitions from persons - praying for assistance to enable them to emigrate.--Laid on the table. - • ' - Lord - CLEMENTS presented a petition from the Roman Catholice of Ireland, praying for Emancipation. —Laid on the table. MACHINERY. General GASCOYNE presented a petition from the operative sawyers of Liverpool, against the use of steam ma chinery. In this prayer he could not concur, but the petitioners in these times of distress, deserved the sincerest sympathy of the House, and he wished that some other less objectionable means than the destruction of steam machinery might be found for their relief. Mr. HUME that the course followed complained by the Right-1ton: Gentleman' opposite (Mr. Peel) was calculated to encourage the delusion that prevailed amongst the working classes with respect to the injurious effects of machinery upon their condition. The course to which he alluded was that of re ferring their petitions againif the use of machinery from, t h e Home Office to the Board of Trade, and they were thus in duced to suppose that some, result favourable to their wishes would be produced. • . . Mr. Secretary PEEL expressed his astonishment that it should be imputed to ; him that any act of his had contri buted to support the delusion to which the Honourable Gentle man alluded. The petitions that were sent to his office, on this subject, were referred, as a matter of course, to the Board of Trade, to whose province they related ; but he denied that any thing had ever been done by him that could in the slightest degree encourage the delusion. Quite the contrary; in the only instance in which a deputation had waited upon him—that from Frome—he had endeavoured to convince them that they were altogether mistaken in their views of the subject. Their notions did not extend to the entire abolition of machinery. They wished only to have that kind of machinery prohibited which was within the power of great capitalists. They had no :objection to tolerate that which small capitalists could use. He was, satisfied, however, and so he told this deputation, that it .was the true policy of this country to encourage mechanical skill in every, department to which it could be applied, and to the utmost extent to. which it could be carried. These were ':the doctrines which he had always. maintained. If he had not ,gone out of his way to satisfy every body of petitioners against machinery, that they were wrong, he trusted, that considering the number of petitions of that nature, which had been for warded to his office, he should still be held free from the im putation so unjustly cast upon him by the Honourable Member for Aberdeen. ME repeated hiS opinion, th a t th e Ri g ht Mr. nu Honourable Secretary, when he referred the petitioners to the .Board of Trade, should at the same time, do something that , would tend to relieve themirom the delusion they laboured.under. .111 r. Secretary PEEL stated, in reply, that, when an opportunity offered, he had alwayS told the petitioners against machinery that he could bold out to them no hopes of success. He had transferred their petitions to the. Board of Trade, simply because that was the proper department for receiving and consi dering them. • Air. J. WILLIAMS objected to the hard-hearted manner in which the distressed operatives were dismissed by the Political Economists of that House. If relief could not be given to them, at least they should be treated leith compassion, which was strictly their due. The petition was ordered to be printed. FREE TRADE.

The question is simply, .whether this allusion brings the petition within tilt scope of the.general rule ? Mr. HUM said, that after the explanation from the Chair, he felt it his duty to withdraw the petition. Tireflen.
