On the evening of Thursday last, Mr. Charles Green, the veteran aeronaut, made his 69th ascent in his splendid balloon, from the town of Newbury, in Berkshire, under the most discouraging circum stances. He was accompanied by Mr. H. Simmons, a gentleman of Reading, who has been deaf and dumb from his infancy. The following interesting parti culars of his tempestuous voyage are thus described by Mr. Green " My second ascent from this' town since I' left London being announced to take place on Thursday last, all the necessary preparations were made, and the balloon was inflated early in the day. Notwith standing the morning being very squally, a great number of visitants had assembled in the ground before two o'clock, at which hour we were visited by a most tremendous storm of hail, rain, and thunder, the wind at the time blowing a perfect hurricane, which in a very few seconds cleared the ground of the company, and threatened inevitable destruction to the balloon itself, which could scarcely be kept down although loaded with two tons weight of iron, and the united exertions of nearly one hun dred individuals holding to the net-work. This storm continued nearly one hour, when it partially subsided, and between four and five o'clock the clouds broke up and dispersed; but the wind continued to rage with unabated fury the whole of the evening. A little before six o'clock, the ground being filled with company, I entered the car, followed by my compagnon du voyage, Mr. Simraons, who had once before as cended with me from Reading; and having secured the grappling iron, and all the necessary a pp aratus , at six o'clock precisely I gave the word, " Away." The moment the machine was disencumbered of its weights, it was torn, by the violence of the wind, from the exhausted assistants, who had been con- tending with the combined fury of the elements during the whole day, and bounded off with the ve locity of lightning, m a south-easterly direction, and in a very short space of time attained an elevation of nearly two miles. At this elevation we perceived two immense bodies of clouds operated on by con trary currents of air, until at length they became united; at which moment my ears were assailed by the most awful and long-continued peal of thunder I ever heard. These clouds were a full mile beneath us ; but perceiving other strata float ing at the same elevation we were sailing, which, from their appearance, I judged to be highly charged with electric matter, I considered it prudent to discharge 201 b. of ballast; and we rose nearly half a mile above our former elevation, where I considered we were perfectly safe, and beyond their influence. However awful our situation might have been considered by those on earth who witnessed the storm which followed, it was highly interesting to us, as I had an opportunity 'of observing,amonast other phenomena, that at every discharge of thund er, all the detached pillars of clouds within the distance of a mile round, became attracted, and appeared to concentrate their force with the first body of clouds alluded to, leaving the atmosphere clear and calm beneath and around us. With very trifling variation we continued the same course until about a quarter past seven, when I began to make preparations for a descent ; and having opened the valve, and suffered a quantity of gas to escape, we reached within 500 feet of the earth : but perceiving from the dis turbed surface of the rivers and lakes beneath us, that a strong current of air still existed near the earth, we again ascended, and continued our course until up wards of half-past seven, when I determined on making a final descent, which was safely effected in a meadow field in the parish of Cranley, in Surrey, situate between Guildford and Horsham, and 52 miles from Newbury ; which stormy, yet in a great degree interesting voyage, was performed in one hour and a half. - Every .accommodation and assistance was afforded us, and the balloon and its appendages being properly, secured, we returned to Newbury on Friday tborning, and received the hearty congratula tions of those who, from the effects of the storm belbw, bad entertained strong doubts ,of our ever reaching terra firma in safety. . My companion ap peared highly gratified with the novelty of his situa tion and I cannot speak too highly of his coolness o e pzelence dinind amidst the surrounding dangers, We can now venture to announce, from good authority. that their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Clarence will honour Mount-Edgcumbe with a visit in the first week of July, when the Noble Owner of that delightful mansion, and his family, will be present to receive them. The 18- oared barge, prepared in this yard for the use of his Royal Highness at Milford, is ordered to be at the latter place by the Ist of June. Lord Valletort is expected daily at Mount- Edgcumbe from London.

A NEW SONG. BY A COUNTRY SENTI.EIIAN. Sir A.--'. 'Slight, will you make an ass of me?"—Twelfth Night When the prices were up, and the Pope was down, 'Twas very amusing, very, To come for the session to London town, And vote for Londonderry : Aud I loved the Lords of the Treasury, And prayed for the Whigs' perdition, And lauded the name of loyalty, And loathed the Opposition. But out upon Canning's false grimace, And Huskisson's false pretences ! They have bothered Lord Westmorland out of his place, Lord Bexley out - of his senses ; They have silenced Bathursee brilliant wit, And Wellington's ammunition ; And therefore I talk of Mr. Pitt, And lead the Opposition. I know that my head is very thick, That I'm rather apt to stammer, That I've learned but a little of rhetoric, And a little less of grammar : It's well for a knave to talk about His facts and erudition ; But an honest man may do without, Who leads the Opposition. I don't see the wit v-Irich some have seen In the Minister's new made-minions; I never shall guess what Brougham could mean By " bundles of opinions !" I've laboured in rain for a long long week At Huskisson's exposition ; For Freedom of Trade is Heathen Greek To us of the Opposition. But the Acre-lords shall soon advance, And startle the mace with thunders ; Applause shall be ready for ignorance, Majorities for blunders We'll hang Mr. Shiel in a hempen rope, We'll burn poor Dan's petition ; And• Dr. Phillpotts shall be Pope, And bless the Opposition. How small the Liberal wretch will feel, Whom I shall lay my paws on, Backed by a silent smile from Peel, And a noisy cheer from Dawson. Burdett with a frown, and Brougham with a squint, Will rue the coalition ; And Tierney will soon be as sick of the Mint As he was of the Opposition. I'll make the Ministers soon betray What roguery they've an eye to, By asking questions every day Which nobody will reply to ; And if I fall, as fall I may, In the fight of fair ambition, Good men shall whisper o'er my clay, 44 Here lies the Opposition 1" Times. A gentleman in the neighbourhood of Hun gerford, was on Wednesday last held to bail, himself in 1,0001. and two sureties in 5001. each, charged with a misdemeanour ; the capital crime, with which he Was first charged having been abandoned. A reporter came pur posely to attend the examination, but the Hungerford Magistrates, we have heard, would not allow him to be present.—Bath Paper. TRIsH PROVISION TRADE.—The following letter appears in the Limerick Chronicle:— London, May 19, 1827. SIR-Knowing the anxiety you feel respecting the pro vision trade, I communicate to you the present state of our negotiation with the Board of Trade. Purchases for the Victualling Board appear as follows :--1824, 67. 2s. Gd. ; 1825, 71.195. 7d. ; 1826, 6/. 7s. 6d.—equal to 445. 10d. per 1001 b: beef ; and 425. 6d. per 1001 b. pork. The corn and butter protection may be reckoned upon as amounting to 30 per cent. ad valorem, and such scale applied to pro visions would give 13s. 6d. per 1001 b. beef, and Us. per 1001 b. pork. It is proposed in the room of this ad valo rem duty, to give 13s. per 100 lb. of beef and pork, pay able at the issue of such provisions from warehouse.--I have the honour to be, your very obedient humble servant, T. S. RICE. To the President of the Chamber of Commerce, Limerick. CHAMELION.—One of these to us scarce and curious animals, from Malaga, is now exhibiting alive at the Philadelphia Museum. The manner in which it takes up it, food on the end of its singularly long tongue cannot but excite admiration, as will indeed the whole appearance of the creature. Nothing, however so entirely arrested our atter tiori, or to us seemed so remarkable, as its eyes. They are large for the size of . the animal, and round as balls, save only, that on that point of the ball which would be nearest to the spectator, standing in front of the eye quiescent in its natural. position, projects a little from the circumference of the ball, and has inserted, as it would seem, into it an eye, like that of a very small doll, which, when exposed, is dark and brilliant. When covered by the lids, the ball is the same colour as the rest of the animal, which is something of a light bronze. These balls the animal moves with wonderful facility, and if it pleases, directs the point of sight of each eye in opposite directions. Their motion gives the idea that they move on a pivot in the interior of the head. It is a great natural curiosity. The tail is long and appears like a dusky brass red.—American Paper. THE SHADOWLESS MAN.—Lord London derry spoke the other night in the House of Lords of a book called the Shadowless Man ; and hinted that some of the new Ministers were but the shadows of Mr. Canning. Now irthe Right Hon. Gentleman has the power of filling so many important offices by his own shadow, we would very humbly suggest to him, the im portance of adding another to the list—viz. that of Lord Lieutenant of either Cumberland, or Westmoreland, and thus remove the anomaly of one person holding the Lord Lieutenancy - of ttvo C9untieg.—Westmreigna Advertiser, Mr. MuxnEr. presented the Second Report of the Com missioners appointed to carry on the building of his Ma jesty's General Register House in Edinburgh. The Earl of MA.I.MESBURY presented petitions from Parishes in the counties of Buckingham and Kent against any alteration in the present Corn Laws. The Earl of DARNLEY presented a similar petitio❑ irons Lenham, in Kent, and from a place in Sussex. Lord YARBOROUGH presented a petition from Lincoln, against the importation of Foreign Wool. Earl DIGBY presented a similar petition from the county of Dorset. _ _ _ On the motion that the petition be laid on the table, The Earl "of MALMESBURY said that the petition had been unanimously agreed to at a most numorons end re spectable meeting. The subject to which it referred was of the most vital importance, and one which inte rested every wool-grower in the country. The Noble Lord was anxious to know whether his Majesty's Govern ment had taken into consideration this subject, with a view of giving relief to the persons engaged in this trade, and who were now suffering under an accu mulation of two years' growth, and he was sorry to say that they were likely to suffer still more from the great speculation in wool, which was going on on the Continent. The several petitions were laid on the table. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE presented a petition from Cornwall, praying for the repeal of the Dutiee on Coals carried coastwise. On the motion of Lord DACRE, the Bill for preventing the application of Corporate Funds to promote the return 01 MemberE: to serve in Parliament was read a second time. anti ordered to he committed on Wednesday. MISS TURNER'S DIVORCE BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a petition from Edward Gibbon Wakefield, now a prisoner in His Majesty's Gaol of Newgate, praying that he may be heard in opposition to the further progress of the Bill now before their Lordships for annulling the marriage which had taken place between the petitioner and Ellen Turner. But as the petitioner was confined in Newgate, under a sentence of the Court - of King's Bench, he prayed that their Lordships might issue an order directing him to be brought to their Lordships' bar, or, such other place as their Lordships might think fit, upon such occasions as their Lordships might deem necessary. The Noble Earl moved that the prayer of the petition be granted, and that the order for the, second reading of the Pill on this day be discharged. The Noble Earl also moved, that the Keeper of Newgate be directed to bring up the petitioner to their Lordships' bar at ten o'clock on Wednesday next, in order that he might be heard pursuant to the prayer of his petition. These several motions were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Wednesday. SUPPLY OF WATER TO THE METROPOLIS. Lard WHARNCLIFFE said.that, when he presented a petition last Friday, from certain inhabitants of the western parts of the Metropolis, respecting the supply of water, he was not satisfied as to the course which ought to be pur sued. Upon consulting with some friends, he felt that the best and moat effectual way of proceeding would be for the House of Lords as well as the Commons to Address his Majesty, praying that he might be pleased to ap point a Special Commission to take into consideration the supply of water to the Metropolis. The Noble Lord felt that his motion for such an address ought not to be made without notice. He would therefore postpone it to Monday, the 11 th of June, and should move that their Lordships be summoned for that day. _ _ Their Lordships were accordingly ordered to be sum moned for that day. The Howe then adjourned to Wednesday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY, AUY 28. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. The Deputy Ueher of the Black Rod was then announ ced, and requested the presence of the Commo*s in the House of Lords. The SPEAKER and a great majority of the Members present then withdrew, and returned after a short absence, wheel the Speaker stated that their Lordships had assented to several private Bills. Upon the motion of Mr. CANNING it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn to Wednesday next, to-morrow, (this day) being the anniversary of the Re. storation of King Charles the Second. Mr. CARTWRIGHT presented a petition from North ampton against the Importation of Foreign Wool. Mr. BERESFORD presented a petition against the Salmon Fishery Bill. Sir C. COLES presented a petition from Swansea, for the repeal of tlikTest and Corporation Acts. Lord EBRINGTON presented three petitions from Protestant Dissenters in Devonshire, praying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts. 31r. DAVENPORT presented a similar petition from Protestant Dissenters, in Chester. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that in consequence of the dangerous illness of his Honourable Friend Mr. Buxton, it was necessary to postpone the motion regarding the Slave Trade in the Mauritius, sine die. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER. Lord STANLEY, in presenting a petition from Man chester, prying f or th e r i g ht o f s e n di ng Members to re presentits inhabitants in Parliament, observed, that those who now prayed this boon from the Legislature amounted to more than five thousand persons, of all parties and opinions. Upon the motion that the petition' ie brought up, Mr. G. PHILLIPS begged to say a few words in sup port of the prayer of the petition. The Noible Lord had most truly said that the petition was from men of all po litical parties and opinions : and he might have added, that thirty years ago, such a petition unanimously agreed to in such a place as Manchester would have been considered impossibl e . It had been, however, prayed unanimously by five thousand of the most respectable inhabitants, that the Legislature would grant them leave to ref ;resent their sen timents in Parliament ; and as the Right ;lion. Gentleman (Mr. Canning), who had always opposed. any sweeping measure of Reform, once said, " Shew me a blot, and I will remove it," he hoped, as a blot was noN v clearly proved to exist, that his consent at least might be t:alculated upon for its removal. The Borough of Penryn lusd been proved beyond question to be a blot in the system, and he earnestly hoped the House would see the propriety of transferring 1!:2 constitutional privileges to the town of Manchester. Lord J. RUSSELL rejoiced to see a petition with. such a prayer coming from the rich and populous town ofMan chester. He remembered in a debate upon the queition of Reform in that House, that a Right Hon. Gentlemat ► called upon the Clerk at the Table, to read the petitions in favour of Reform from the great towns of Manchester, of Leeds, and of Birmingham ; and when it apeared no sot h pe ,titions were to be found, he took from that circurt istance an argument of some force, and declared that :Reform could not be said to be desired by the great body of the people. He was delighted, therefore, he repeated, to see • question whether Penryn should be disfranchised or not, was now coming under the immediate consideration of the House. It was quite sufficient for the House to decide, without prejudice upon that question—without declaring prematurely to which town in England the Representation should be transferred. He thought, therefore, that all arguments upon the pusference claimed for Maw:heater now were quite foreign to the question. - After a few words from Mr. CALCRAFT;the petition from the lio►oughreeve, Constables, and Rata-payers of Manchester, praying for permission to elect Members to re present them in Parliament, in any form the House might d►►em fit, was then read, and ordered to be printed. THE WOOL TRADE. Mr. W. CARTWRIGHT presented a petition from certain Farmers and Occupiers of Land, in Nofthampton shire, engaged in growing Wool, praying for a Duty on Foreign Wool. Mr. R. PRICE presented a similar petition from the Growers of Wool in New Radnor. Mr. E. B. PORTMAN then presented, according to his notice, a petition on the same subject, from the Wool Growers of Dorsetshire. The Honourable Member entered into some statements of the pail and present state of the Wool Growers; but from the lowness of his tone, and the noise in the House, we heard them very indistinctly. He observed that the growers had, at this moment, in their• warehouses a stock of three years' production, without the slightest hope of a market. Since the Clutneellor of the Exchequer had thought fit to reduce the duty on Foreign Wool, there had been in one year (1624) no less than 43,837,000 pounds imported into this country. This enormous quantity, united with the increasing pro dection of the country, rendered the case of the farmers almost hopeless ; although, he believed, there had been e very great increase for some time in the demand. From the year 1814, when the first alteration took place in the duty, down to the present time, wool had fallen in price from twenty-two pence to te■ pence, at which price he believed it to be at this nennent. It would be impos. Bible for the landlords to meet the heavy demands now upon them in the way of taation, unless agricultural pro duce were encouraged in a corresponding degrea to that bestowed upon manufactures. With the low price of corn which they would have to encounter, and other low prices of other articles of agricultural produce, it behoyee the new Ministry—who were more disposed, he believed, to do so than the preceding one—to take into their con sideration the best mode of affording the agriculturist: such relief as would enable them to meet all the burdens that were now imposed upon them. Much of the sup port given to the present Administration, and of the confidence reposed in them, arose from an expectation that due attention would be paid to the agricultural in terests. The Honourable Member made some further ob servations, but iu so low a tone as to be indistinctly audi ble iu the Gallery. He concluded by moving, that the peti tion be brought up. Mr. HUSKISSON commenced by complimenting the lion. Member for the judicious manner in which he had introduced the petition. He frankly allowed the depres sion which the Hon. Member stated, though Le differed with him as to the causes of that depression. The prin cipal cause appeared to him to be, that the manufactured article, which was produced from the raw material, was itself in a state of depression. The price, therefore, of the raw material must depend upon the price of the manufac tured article; and it was an odd, he might say an Irish, or at least, a singular way of improving it, to propose to raise the price of the raw material, when that of the manufac tured article was at a depression—(Hear, hear.)—lf there was not a good demand for the manufacture, there would not he a good demand for the raw material ; still less would that demand be when the price was high—(Hear.) It was not among one class, but among all the branches of trade, that the excess of exportation in 1825 took place, which was succeeded by a stagnation. It was not only wool that was affected and involved in this general distress and consequent stagnation, which were created by a com bination of causes, into the consideration of which it was not his intention at present to enter. He had mentioned the principal one—the scale of extravagance on which every branch of our trade was carried, and which led to a reduction of price in all our principal articles of trade. He would shew tliat the depression was not in wool only, from a paper, to which he had made reference that morning.— Cotton, which had been 18id. per lb. in 1825, was now down to. 7d. or 6d. sugar hid fallen from 455. to 30s. per cwt. Silk, from l'id. to 11d. ; .and in a correspond ing degree there had been a depression 'in tobacca, and other articles. This extravagance of speculation, as may be supposed, was followed by a great loss of capital, in some branches almost to its annihilation. But what he had stated would strew that wool was not the only article that suffered from depression; but that the depression was ge neral, and extended to and included all branches. With respect to wool, as he had stated, its price depended upon the price of manufactures ; when the causes which ope rated to create the (depression of manufactures ceased, the same causes would operate to create a cessation in the de pression of wool. The duty on wool from 1790, and up to 1819, had been 6d. Previous to that year (1819) the quantity of foreign wool imported was 17 or 18,000,000 lbs. After the changes that were made in 1819, the manufac turers complained every year to Government that they wer, losing the export trade, on account of the heavy duty on foreign wool which they found necessary to mix with coarse cloths, and in which article, in consequence of the heavy duty on foreign wool, they were under-sold. The answer of Government was, " If you consent to the exportation of wool of British growth, we will consent to the free importation of foreign wool." After some discussion the argument prevailed, and the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1824, reduced the duty to Id. per lb. From 1819 to 1824, notwithstanding the protecting duty, the price of the artiale was declining—from that time to the present it had undergone great variation of price. In 1825, along with every thing else, it rose. In 1826, it certainly was very low—perhaps as low as it had been in the years 1790-1803, or any other year since or before the commencement of the war. It had been supposed that the jealousy extended only to long wool ; hat this was by no means the case ; it principally extended to short wool, the prices of which were very low. This had been occa sioned, in a great degree, in consequence of our prohibition of the importation of corn from the Continent. Germany, and the central countries of Europe, which were before wont to grow corn, betook themselves to the encourage ment of manufactures, which they before had imported from England, in order to render themselves independent of us. And it was now a fact, that in Germany and these other countries there were flocks of Merino sheep, which yielded the finest wool in an abundant supply. To shew the importance of encouraging fine wool amongst us, he would read a letter which had been received at the Board of Trade from our Consul at Mexico. It was dated De cember 31st, 1828. The letter, after proceeding to state the various imports, from several countries, stated, that 4 4 those from England principally consisted of cotton, iron, wool, &c. ; with respect to importations of woollen menu facture, the French surpassed us in broad-cloths, but a pre ference was given to the fine cloths of England, with which ' foreigners could not compete." We should therefore en deavour to encourage as much as possible the remnant that remained to us of superiority in Woollen manufactures. On the reduction of the duty, in 1824, from 6d. to Id., the extravagant speculators who then engaged in the spe culation of wool may be well denominated wool-gatherers, During a few weeks that he had been in France, he ob served that the demand from this country was so great, that merchants willingly parted with that wool which they had provided for manufacture at a double price, which, when it came here, fell below half the value for which it was purchased. This was one of the unhappy results of that rage for speculation of 1825, in which year there was ' lavished more money than had been expended in the ex penditure of the country in any year of its meat pressing exigencies—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PORTMAN reminded the Right Hon. Gentleman, , across the table, of the duty in France. Mr. HUSKISSON said that he was aware there was a. heavy duty imposed on the raw material in France, but the Custom-house officers there• kept an account with the importer ; and if he exported an equal quantity of woollen manufacture as he imported of , the raw material,- he was allowed a drawback equal, and even greater, than the on ginal duty.--4-(Hear, bear:) This may do very well for France, where there were officers who might ascertain that the wool imported was the . same that.was afterward* ma nufactured, but it was by no means suited to the eompli coed inachivery that prevailed illtie cQuatryr,—(l-lor, vouring to afford and procure him constant employment and good wages, they would do more to advance their own and their country's welfare, than by having recourse to any other system, or by endeavouring to enforce production be yond its proper limits. Colonel DAVIES condemned the petition. The ob ject of it wee to relieve the petitioners from a supposes hardship which must fall upon some other class of the community. The proper mode of proceeding was to effect a general reduction of the burdens which fell with equal heaviness upon all classes. Mr. CALCRAFT did sot think the petitioners merited the reprobatien bestowed upon them by the Honourable Member. All persons had a right to ask for relief front any grievance which pressed upon them. The particular grievance now complained of, however, he apprehended, was part of that distress whick resulted from the causes referred to by the Right Hon, Gentleman. it may not admit of immediate remedy, but it merited the greatest attention ; ae, with two years' produce on the hands of the wool-growers, and with a third year's growth et hand, they could not, literally, get any price for it. lie admitted that this was but cold comfort, but it was better to speak the truth ; and he was persuaded that the indi viduals most interested would be more satisfied to hear the fact, than to have any delusion practised upon thm. lio I had a great respect for the petitioners, although he was not favourable to the object of the petition ; and, there- fore, he could not concur with his lion. and Gallant Friend (the Member for Worcester) in reprobating the petitioners for stating the grievances under which they laboured. Mr, G. BANKES admitted that it would, perhaps, have been more consistent, if his Hon. and Gallant Friend had waited until the petition was read, befaYe he had indulged in the severe censure which he had bestowed on the pe titioners themselves. He could not, however, but deeply regret the conduct of the lion. Gentleman by whom the petition had been presented. He really did not think that the present was a good opportunity for erte. allusions 'as those which had fallen from that Hon. Gaithrnan; or that the terms of the petition called for each expressions as i.hoze which he had used. He Itonfassed, that he rather con curred in the sentiments of the petitioners, than in those of the Hon. Gentleman. When his Hon. Friend applied the term " odious" to the seceders from the ♦dntinistration, lie had heard him with feelings of regret, such as he had never before experienced at an♦ thing which had proceeded from his Hon. Friend. He did not understand how his Hon. Friend would vindicate himself to the persons who had placed the petition in his hands, who certainly had no intention of having the presentation cf it accompanied by such reflections—refiections which, he (Mr. liankes) was convinced, if the county were polled, a large majority would be found to contradict. If on any occasion he should have particularly regretted the remarks made by his Hon. Friend, it would have been on the present night, when those whom ... ...... . „ he termed the seceders of the Administration, owing to art accidental circumstance, were not so fully represented ire that House as usual. He much regretted that the subject to which the petition referred was not brought forward in another shape. He did not think the lateness of the Session was a sufficient excuse. For what purpose were the Members of that House sent there, but to attend to the complaints of the people ? He was astonished to hear such excuses for the non performance of their duty. They had been made in the last Session also. It was then a dying Parliament ; but that was not the Mt at present. Nor was time formation of a new Oovernneent a sufficient excuse. Why were any difficulties which might attend Minis.. terial arrangements to be visited on the people" If any time had been lost, let it be redeemed, by a longer sitting of the House ; and, under any circumstarcee let the just complaints of their constituents be es tended to. He did not presume to set himself up as a competent judge of the principles of the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade, but the question was, whether they were satisfactory to others—whether they were satisfactory to the persons the most deeply con corned? With respect to the manufacturing and the apt cultural interests, he was well aware that nothing could be more unwise than to consult the benefit of the one by sacrificing the other. But the prayer of the petition which had been that night presented was not that of agricultu rists only ; it was the prayer of tradesmen, and other wealthy inhabitants of cities, who bad at length disco vered that the prosperity of agriculture was identified with their own. He repeated his wish that some measure on the subject might be taken by the House in the present Session ; and if so, it ehould have his support. Mr. PORTMAN begged to set himself right with his Honourable Friend and the House. He denied having, in stating his reasons for not pressing the teference of the petition to a Committee;'cist oh the petitioners the asper sions imputed to him by the Honourable Member for Corfe Castle. It had, undoubtedly, beau stated at the Meeting from which the petition originated that the Meeting had 'no confidence in his Majesty's Ministers. That statement was not contradicted, in consequence of the absence of per sons, whose eloquence would have enabled them to take a part in the proceedixg. He (Mr. Portman) knew, how ever, that a very considerable, and a very respectable pee, tion of the petitioners did not think as the Hon. Member for Corfu Castle supposed. There were, no doubt, male of them opposed to his Majesty's present Government ; but he was sure that there were more who had great con. fidence in that Government. For himself, he was only desirous of doing his duty as an independent Member of that Rouse ; and he felt satisfied that he would best do his duty by supporting his Majesty's present Government against a party of a much more odious character.— (Hear.) —In saying this, he did not mean to cast any as persions on individuals not present ; neither wishing to cast aspersions on others, or to have them cast ou himself. Perfectly aware, as he was, that no practical good could result from referring the petition which be had presented to a Committee, he had not pressed its being so referred. p T e o do tition et e s re wou . If ld h o o nl i y iad be be to h eno o n ld de o r u st t d ood el b u y siv th e e hops to Honourabletl Member for Corfu Castle to mean any thing snore than that, he had been misunderstood by him. For himself, he asked no favour of hie Majesty's Government, or of any man living ; and, therefore, he had a right to con sider himself as entirely independent, and as entitled to express whatever opinions he might entertain. Mr. G. BANKES, in explanation, said, that ali be regretted was, that his Honourable Friend had made any . political allusion to the meeting at which the petition was agreed to. Lord MILTON said, that he would not snake any re marks on the speech of the Hon. Member for Corfe Castle, because it was quite clear that the Hon. Blusher's speed s had not been intended for that place--(A laugh).—ln his (Lord Milton's) opinion, so far here the petitioners from having any right to complain of the course which had been taken by his Hon. Friend the Member for Dorsetshire, that his Hon. Friend seemed to him to he entitled to their gra titude; and more especially for the elucidation of the sub-. jest which he had drawn forth from the Right Honour able the President of the Board of Trade—an elucidation. which every candid man must allow was perfectly satic. factory, The Right Hon. Gentleman had to-night (an he had frequently before done) placed in the strongest light the importance of the free importation of the raw material. Ile would not any longer occupy the time of the House, ex. cept by stating that he had received a letter from the country, informing him of an improvement in the price of wool. Lest it shoild be supposed that this /cher had proceeded from some of his naan4fac.turing frie tk is (who he knew were objects of jealousy upon. this 'subject) he begged to say, that the letter in question came not from Yorkshire, but from Northamptonshire, Before he sat down he begged leave to say that it was incumbent on his Majesty's Government to give all the teller which it was practicable to give, either to the producers of the raw ma terial, or to the producers of the manufactured article, which consisted in a repeal of taxation. That was expected by the people from the present Administration ; and he trusted that the expectation would not be disappointed. Mr. WESTERN made a few observations; but in con sequence of a tumult in the gallery, occasioned by the sud den entrance of a greater number of strangers than could find seats (an evil of which we have too frequently tocom plain), all that we could collect from the Hon. Gentle wcat causes Committeeur sl allow de: ofr ef o et f oe t f i idde oughteni i m rye s p sti r aoo t nn a bd t e i o una i n r i,d o lt, fo declaration i nw which appointed o i l eho from oin quirethef Gentle man's remarks was an expression of his doubt if it would b al e l in in io to n that agriculture, manufactures, and commerce of the country apawritsseopof the e y had laboured, and were labouring. Mr. BARING said that the speech of the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade had been so clear and convincing, that it had set the question completely at rest. To impose a duty on foreign wool would be so indefensible a me asure, that it was unnecessary to say a word on the liis opinion subject ; and to refer the petitiOn presented by *e Hon! Member for Dorsetshire to the consideration of a Com mittee, would be only to Waste the time of the House, and to hold out absurd expectations; as every man of common song must Wm, wbht il'oil4 be tilt moth. No proter,
