K A (~.._ the schools wanted improvement, and they wistilMtid ai, - 1. , 4 _4At. ',4 Kr so, and they asked that they (the Opposition) would leave it to them, on their own responsibility, to propose a plan for their improvement. His Noble Friend seemed to have some jealousy relative to the inspector re porting to the Board of Admiralty. These schools were placed under the control of the Board of Ad miralty, and it was only natural that they should feel anxious on behalf of them. He should propose that..when the Report shall be laid on the table of the two Houses, there should also be laid before them a Report of • the state of these schools. He hoped their Lordships would consent to wait for the development of the Government plans. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that the House do now adjourn. The Duke of WELLINGTON seconded the motion. Tho Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that be thought it his duty to say a few words on this question previous to the adjournment of the House. The Board of Admi ralty, feeling itself incompetent to amend the gross evils which had grown to such a height in these schools, called on the Privy Council to appoint an inspector. It was very inconvenient to the public service that in each de partment there prevailed a sort of domestic spirit in every corner, which rose in arms whenever any in quiry was attempted —(Hear, hear.) He had on other occasions endeavoured to impress upon their Lordships that when a provision was made for the endowment and maintenance of schools, provision should be made at the same time to regulate the details of the system of educa tion to be pursued. The neglect of this had led to the greatest disorders in the Greenwich schools, which were so splendidly endowed. According to the report of Ads mind Fleming, one of the inspectors appointed by the Privy Council, those schools were a striking instance of establishments splendid in their outward appearance, but in their interior perverting the purposes for which they were established.—(Hear.) So badly were the schools managed, that the Commissioners were obliged to dissolve the girls' school altogether, and send the in mates back to their parents, so utterly corrupted had been their morals from the want of all proper superintendence. And this was the case with an establishment which was endowed to the amount of 20,0001. a year.—(Hear.) He considered the remedy contemplated by the Admiralty would prove inadequate. The Privy Council had always attached great import. ante to having its inspectors subject to its control alon e , and they had refused to allow schools of great magni tude to be inspected, unless the reports of the inspectors should be made to no other body but itself. Ile thought that under any arrangement it would be necessary that. the masters should have the entire control of the boys„ willosettethe-eo-ordinate authorityof sergeants and masters. Lord COLCHESTER read extracts from the letters of Admiral Fleming and the Privy Council inspector, to show that the schools had not been so great a failur e as the Noble Lords opposite (Lansdowne and Duncensnon) supposed ; but that many young men sent out from there had done themselves great credit as officers, not only in the merchant service, b u t i n t h e Royal navy. With- re spect to the alleged dissolution of the girls' school, the Noble Marquis was incorrect. The recommendation of the inspector was, that it should be removed to a dis tance from the establishment for the boys, but not that it should be dissolved. Viscount DUNC.ANNON replied. !,lle did not mean to say anything disparagingly of Mr. Riddle. llis (the Noble Lord's) objections applied to the lower, and not to the higher departments of the school, except as re garded religious instruction, in which they were all equally deficient. . The question was then put, and the amendments being carried, their Lordships adjourned. eo :silic ,,, rd . . 4vtre_terper Tender Manchester Station.

Lord WESTERN presented a petition from a num ber of farm-tenants in the county of Lincoln, against the alteration of the Corn-laws proposed by the Government, and also against the new tariff. Nothing could exceed the consternation of the petitioners that such measures should be proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Govern= meat, who had so long professed to be the friend of the agricultural interest. The petitioners felt that they had been deceived by the Government and their own re presentatives.—(Loud cries of " Hear," from the Earl of Winchilsea.) The petitioners gave the lie to the malig nant charge which had been circulated through the Anti-Corn-law districts, that the Corn-law was a landlord's question.—(Hear, hear.) The farm tenants felt that it was their question.—(llear, hear.) They felt that if the whole of the rent were given up it would not compensate them for the reduction of the price of corn by 10s. in the quarter.—(Hear, hear, from the Earl of Winchilsea.) He felt that they had been deceived by the Government.—(Renewed and vehement cries of " Hear, hear," from the Earl of 'Winchilsea.) They had also been deceived by . their re presentatives, who pledged themselves to maintain the old law.—(Hear, hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON said—My Lords, as there is a day fixed for the discussion of the measures proposed to the other House by my Right Hon. Friend at the head of her Majesty's Government, I think it will be as well if Noble Lords would refrain from those harsh expressions. —(Hear, hear.) I think it would be as well if they would refrain from saying that the coun try had been deceived by the Government.—(Hear.) I think that those expressions ought to be avoided, till the House can come fairly to the discussion of the question, and the Noble Lord can have an opportunity of stat ing how, when ; and where, and in what language, my Lords—l say in what language—my Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government has deceived the people. —(Cheers.) I think that the Noble Lord in his can dour ought to have stated how, and when, and where my Right Hon. Friend has deceived the people. My Lords, I deny the fact.—(Loud cheers.) I deny it as firmly and positively as the Noble Lord has as serted it.—(Cheers.) I say it is not true, and there I leave it.—(Cheers.) - Lord WESTERN said that the Noble Duke might say that the statement of the petitioners was not true; but he (Lord Western) must repeat that the general belief of the farm-tenants throughout the country was, that they were deceived by the Government and by their representatives. The Right Ho nourable 'Baronet had given them reason to believe, by his conduct in 1838, 1839, and 1840, that he would take a course directly opposite to that which he had taken. — (Hear, hear, from Lord Winchilsea.) He would not say that the Right Hon. Baronet had wilfully deceived them, but his conduct had led them to believe with confidence that he would never introduce such measures as were now before Parliament. Messengers from the Commons brought up several private bills. The Earl of STANHOPE presented a petition from the occupiers of land in Basingstoke, praying their Lordships not to allow the present protection on land to be withdrawn. Also, a petition from Newbury, which stated that the petitioners looked with dismay and alarm at the measures prepared by her Majesty's Go vernment, and praying that they might not pass into law. Also a petition to the same effect from Greenwich. Also a petition from Westport, in Ireland, praying the House not to sanction any alteration in the existing duties on foreign corn and oat-meal. Also a petition from the labourers of Kent, praying that the present protec tion given to land should be continued. Upon that oc- casion it was not necessary for bim to anticipate the ob servations which he should have to make when the new Corn-Bill was before he House. He should, therefore, content himself by expressing his cordial and complete concurrence in the prayer of the petitions. The Earl of RIPON laid on the table certain papers relating to the West Indies and Canadian emigration ; also papers relating to Jamaica and Barbadoes. The Noble Earl presented a petition praying for a reduction of all duties upon the produce of the Canadas. THE INCOME TAX. Lord BROUGHAM presented, a petition from the in habitants of St. James Limehouse, in vestry assembled, against the proposed income tax—as not justified by the financial difficulty of the Ministry, as inquisitorial in its character, and unequal in its operation. The Noble and Learned Lord here adverted to his late speech on the income tax. He certainly was persuaded that property alone should not be taxed, while . what was call e d professional income should escape ; for, on this principle, the ample income of his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack, and that of the Archbishop of Canterbury would not pay anything, while the small tradesman who derived 1801. to 2001. a year from business would be taxed as a holder of property. But property and income should not be taxed to an equal degree. He should again draw their Lordships' attention to the question. The NOBLE LORD also presented a petition from St. Mary's, one of the Orkney Islands, against the Provi• sion-laws and in favour of free trade. EDUCATION IN IRELAND. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented a petition from a place in the county of Tyrone against the na tional system of education in Ireland. The Noble Earl also presented petitions from the Isle of Sheppy, in Kent, and from Long Sutton, against the proposed duty on foreign corn, live cattle, and other articles. COLLEGE OF MAYNOOTII. Lord KENYON presented several petitions from Essex, Denbighshire, and other counties, against a continuance of the Parliamentary grant to the College of Maynooth. The Noble Lord observed that the cause of the grant had long ceased, and the grant' ought to have ceased also. The course of education in the College was of the most injurious tendency, which he pledged himself to prove if their Lordships would grant a Committee. Lord CLONCURRY was convinced that all persons interested in Maynooth would prefer an inquiry into its system, as it would establish its merits, for nothing could be better conducted as a place of education. It was under the management of some of the first men in the coun try of the Catholic religion. His opinion was, that instead of the present grant 'being withdrawn, it should be made five or ten times as much, if their Lordships' were anxious that the priests brought up in it should be of the same class as those formerly educated on the Continent. Their Lordships should remember that the grant was first given as an indemnity for the sums invested for educa tion on the Continent ; and also because there was great fear of the Catholic clergy holding intercourse with the Continent. He (Lord C.) was old enough to re member the Irish priests brought up on the Continent, and he could say that they were men of a high class as regarded learning and deportment.—(Hear, hear.) He did not mean to disparage the men now educated at Maynooth, but the fact was, the sum given for their edu cation was so small that people of the humbler classes generally entered it. He recollected when men of the first families were priests in Ireland, but, considering the origin of many of the present clergymen, it was a matter of surprise that their conduct . was. so excellent—indeed, they were principally the authorities who maintained public order and tranquillity in periods of distress and agitation. The Earl of WICKLOW concurred in a great deal of what had been said by his Noble Friend. Indeed to petition Parliament to overthrow the grant for Maynooth, was the height of absurdity—(Hear, hear) — and no person who knew the country would recommend it. The best policy for Parliament would be to increase the grant, so as to enable the Institution to educate the priests of the present day equal to those the Noble Lord described as formerly educated on the Continent. Nothing could promote the tranquillity of the country more than such a step. Lord KENYON asked the Noble Lord whether he was aware of the course of instruction in Maynooth, and whether he had ever seen the class book ? If the Noble Lord had, he would no doubt admit the necessity for a Committee of Inquiry. The Earl of WICKLOW bad not inspected the course of education at Maynooth, but if it were not such as it ought to be, that was the fault of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, the Lord Chief Justice, and other functionaries, under whose inspection Parlia ment had placed it. FOREIGN FLOUR. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented petitions from Grainge and Ardfinnen, in the county of Tipperary, against the proposed duty on foreign flour. The Duke of SUTHERLAND presented petitions from Staffordshire, praying for free trade in corn. The Marquis of NOR NIANBY gave notice that he should to-morrow present the petition to which he had before alluded from Hull, relative to the late decisions of the Magistrates of that town. MERCHANTS AND FACTORS BILL. The Earl of RIPON, in movi ng, th e second reading o the Merchants and Factors Bill, said he should postpone the discussion on the Bill until it was in Committee. THE EXCHEQUER BILLS BILL. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Exchequer Bills Bill was read a second time. On the motion that the Bill be committed, Lord CAMPBELL said he did not wish to point out any mode upon which to act with respect to the pro ,eetlings of the Commission, but he thought that if they ad not the assistance of counsel they would never be SPIRIT DUTIES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion that the Spirit Duties (Ireland) Bill be committed, The Earl of WICKLOW said he wished to say a few words on the subject. He did not wish to Offer the slightest objection to the measure ; on the contrary, he thought it would be a most beneficial Bill, as he be lieved it would tend to moralise the fpeople. But with the recollection of the effects of the old duties, he felt this to be a proper subject for taxation, and nothing would have induced him to have given his sup port to it, if he did not believe that her Majesty's Government, in bringing forward that measure, had given the fullest and most mature consideration to all the circumstances attending this measure. Me did not mean with respect to increasing the revenue, for that was a mere trifle, but to the moral effect it would have on the people. This measure would tend to put an end to illicit distillation, and thus be a great moral benefit to the people. Lord MONTEAGLE did not agree with the Noble Lord who had just sat down, for he believed that it was a measure entirely for revenue, and that it would be productive of all the mischievous effects of the old tax. Ile considered that it would contribute largely to the purposes of revenue, but at the same time have the effect of demoralising the country. He thought that authority not only of a legislative character, but also of a deliberate character, could be appealed to on this subject. It had been brought under the consideration of a Commission, and after a full inquiry on the subject they reported that they were convinced that in the remote parts of Ireland and Scotland it was impossible to levy the high rates of duty. When the duty was increased Is. on Irish spirits, the increase, which had formerly been 9,000,000, was reduced to 8,100,000 gallons. There was then a further inquiry, and a Commission was held, of which Sir Henry Parnell was the Chairman, and after a full inquiry, they reported that, whereas an increase of duty had led to a loss of revenue, a reduction of one shilling would lead to a gain in the revenue ; and they, therefore, recommended that step. In 1834 Lord Althorp, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, proposed a reduction in the duty from 3s. 4d. to 2s. 4d., stating that he anticipated that the production would be increased from eight million to ten million gallons ; the effect was, that in the second year it rose to eleven millions. Thus stood the spirit duties till 1840, when Mr. Baring added 4d. to the amount of duty, and on that occasion the present Chancellor of the Ex chequer objected to the proposition, asserting most dis tinctly that a loss of revenue would ensue. From this it would be seen that in the same proportion as they re duced the duty they . augmented the revenue—(Hear) — and whenever they increased the duty they decreased the revenue. The case was most serious now, and if illicit distillation should again prevail, the Noble Duke must know in what an unpleasant position her Ma ' jesty's troops would be placed if they should be called on to repress it.—(Hear, hear.) There was no service on which troops could be engaged which was so destructive of their organisation as that. Out of 16,000 commitments in Ireland for criminal offences, 4,000 alone arose out of illicit distillation. The inducement to distil was now greater than ever, and it used t o b e no t or i ous th a t in Ireland there used to be a criminal connivance between those who distilled and the farmers and inhabitants of the district; and a Scotch distiller, examined before • Lord Wallace's Committee, when asked what market he got for his production, replied," Principally officers of the army and dignitaries of the Church." lie thought it due to himself to have made these observations, and to call the attention of the Government to the necessity of taking instant measures, by way of precaution, to pre vent illicit distillation. There was, now an excellent police force in Ireland, under the command of a distin guished officer, Colonel Brereton, and he hoped that would lead to a decrease of illicit distillation and crime in that country. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the Go vernment had taken every precaution, and it was their firm opinion that this 13i11 would not increase illicit The Earl of RIPON said, one point to which his Noble Friend referred was the difference be tween the duty on Irish and Scotch spirits. In Scotland the duty was Is. more than in Ireland. This was a proposition to equalise the two duties, and he could assure his Noble Friend that the greatest possible incon venience had arisen, especially to the free trader, in con sequence of that difference in duty. It would have been imprudent to have reduced the duty on Scotch spirits so as to have made it equal to that on Irish ; therefore, un less it could be shown that raising of the duty on Irish to that of Scotch would be attended with the result men tioned by his Noble Friend, he thought it would be desirable to increase that on Irish. His Noble Friend had referred to the reduction of duty, but the duty at that time was considerably higher than it was proposed to make it now. He (the Earl of Ripon) brought forward the proposition, but the reduction was not, in his opinion, a desirable one ; yet it was, in his opinion, the only way to cut up by the roots the immense system of illicit distillation. But when they had destroyed that, it did not follow that they might not at times endeavour to raise the duty to as high a point as it would bear. They had consulted the Excise authorities and others, whose experience was most valuable, and the result was a persuasion that the additional shilling would not increase the practice of il licit distillation. Lord MONTEAGLE agreed that the equalisation of the duty would be a great good both to Scotland and Ireland ; but he feared that the additional shilling would induce a recurrence to illicit distillation in the remote parts of Ireland, and this practice would, he feared, offer a most dangerous temptation to those who were members of the admirable temperance institutions there.—The Bill went through Committee. GREENWICH SCHOOL. Viscount DUNCANNON proposed a resolution to the effect that an inspector from the Privy Council should in future inspect Greenwich school and examine the boys. When boys were first sent into this school it was expected, that after going through their education, they would enter the Royal or mercantile navy. It was found that very few did so ; and the education the school gave them was so bad and impracticable, that when they were sent home at the age of 14 they were a burden to their parents or parishes. In consequence of a com plaint from the late Governor to the Admiralty-, an inspector was sent down : his Report represented the boys to be in an astonishing state of ignorance and stu pidity. Boys who had been there three years scarcely understood or knew anything. The Admiralty, therefore, requested the Woods and Forests to re-organise the school. In consequence of this an alteration took place, and a master was appointed qualified for the office. The boys were more or less placed under the charge of the master. Great opposition was manifested to the master having influence over the boys out of school. He was happy , to find that his Noble Friend, the Earl of Haddington, in tended to get rid of all the evils mentioned in those re ports. He (Lord Duncannon) could not see why a school under Government control should be the only one exempt from the inspection of the Committee on Edu cation. He hoped his Noble Friend would not allow the school longer to remain without that inspection. The Earl of HADDINGTON said, that although there was a partial difference of opinion between his ' Noble Friend and himself, they were at least agreed in this, that they were extremely anxious to preserve and perpetuate the Naval School at the Royal hospital, Greenwich, and the advantage to be derived from the interposition of the Privy Council. The statements of his Noble Friend were too freely made, and would most positively be denied, and that by persons of the highest respectability ; and some of the facts were not so clear as his Noble Friend had said. His Noble Friend said that the late Admiral Fleming complained that very few of the boys entered the navy. Now he (Lord II.) had a document signed by persons of the highest respectability in the Hospital, to the effect that, of the whole number Of boys, 133, about one-third were discharged every year, of whom an average number of from 60 to 70 went direct to sea, and several others followed after they had visited their friends. He (Lord H.) had also another complaint to make of his Noble Friend's third resolu tion, for his Noble Friend t oo k no not i ce of the success ful hour of Mr. Riddle. True, the elementary branches had been defective, the others had been omitted or were not well attended to, but the nautical department was eminently successful under Mr. Riddle, as several ex perienced officers of the navy could prove. The Ad miralty sent two Commissioners to examine and report on Mr. Riddle's method of instruction. Nothing could have been more triumphant as regarded Mr. Riddle, than the report of these gentlemen, for there was no doubt that the boys turned out by Mr. Riddle were some of the best navigators in the service. From a report from the Astrea hulk, from which boys were distributed to other vessels, and on hoard which there were twenty boys educated by Mr. Riddle, nineteen of whom were very smart and exemplary, and whether the twentieth was not so from incapacity or bad conduct he could not say. His Noble Friend had made out no case for the interference of the House, and he (Lord II.) hoped the House would not interfere, as the Admiralty wished to conduct the school on their own responsibility, and they desired to give a full trial to the change they had introduced.—(Hear, hear.) Their plan was, so far as regarded conduct, to leave the internal control of the school to the master, j..g d, and the out-of--door but to of e the discipline the navy into the play-ground, pro ceedings, and to exclude all necessary severity. He proposed that there should be no punishment on the part of naval officers, but there should be a mild discipline, at the same time that it should be suited to the character of the place. What he wished to press on their Lordships was, that there was no ground l a id f or t h e i nqu i ry. T hey (the Government) bad declared their conviction that HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 14. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. SUDBURY ELECTION COA.IMITTIM. Mr. REDINGTON reported to the House, as Chair man of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition against the return for the borough of Sudbury, that the Committee had agreed to resolutions, to the effect that Mr. F. Villiers and Mr. Dyce Sombre were not duly elected to serve in the present Parliament, for Sudbury, at the late election for the borough and that the said election was a void election. Ile begged also to impress on the House the following re solution :—" That Mr. Villi ers an d M r. Dyee Sombre, at the said election, were by their agents guilty of bribery, and the Committee were of opinion, from the evidence they had received, that gross, systematic, and extensive bribery had prevailed at the said election. The Committee further thought it their duty to express their unanimous opinion that the borough of Sudbury ought to be disfranchised, and that a new writ ought not to be issued for the said borough."—(llear.) Mr. REDINGTON then moved that the Speaker do not issue his warrant for a new writ before the 7th of May. The question was then put and agreed to. CORN-LAWS. Mr. BRAMSTON presented a petition from the Farmer's Club of Chelmsford, in Essex, expressive of the anxiety with which they viewed the proposed altera tions in the Corn-laws, which would tend to damage the ' welfare of the agriculturists. THE TARIFF. Colonel FERGUSON presented a petition from boot and shoe-makers against any alteration in the duties on leather. Sir J. TROLLOPE presented a petition from Bolton, against any alteration in the tariff. RIGHT OF PETITION. Mr. MACAULAY presented a petition from the Chamber of Commerce of Edinburgh, stating that the petitioners had prepared petitions to that House on the subject of the proposed financial measures, but they had been prevented from presenting them by the rules of the house. They now claimed the right of petitioning, and prayed the House to du away with any usage to the cun t rary.—(Hear.) CARDIGAN ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. J. O'CONNELL said he regretted the absence from the House last evening of his Hon. Friend the Mem ber for Mayo, who was prevented from attendingb y con trary winds, whereby h e h a d l ost t h e mail. His Hon. Friend wished him to express his regret for having broken the rules of the house; and as he was only young Member, he (Mr. O'Connell) hoped the House would take his case into consideration. He begged, therefore, to move that Mr. M. Blake be discharged from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms on paying the fees. Sir VALENTINE BLAKE seconded the 'notion. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said that it was difficult for the House so to act as to properly mark their disapprobation of the conduct of an Honourable Member without inflicting too severe a punishment. There were constitutional as well as other grounds why Members should not be confined in custody for any length of time, but the expense to which other parties were put by their absence required that they should be subjected to such a pecuniary fine as would indemnify the parties ; and the question now was to what extent the Hon. Member for Mayo was to be fined. The amount of the fees were about 25/. or 30/., and as that might not be sufficient to ensure the attendance of Mem bers, he would propose that such a sum of money should be exacted from the Eon. Member as would indemnify the parties. But he scarcely knew, in the present in stance, how he should shape the motion. Sir G. GREY concurred in the observations made by the Noble Lord, that some fixed sum should be imposed upon Members who absented themselves. If that were not the case the expense of a messenger to be sent to Ireland to arrest the lion. Member for Mayo should be added to the usual fees, whereas if the Hon. Member for Finsbury, or the Hon. Member for London were the • offending parties no such expense would be incurred. He was glad, therefore, that the Noble Lord threw out the suggestion of a fixed sum, but the House should retain the poWer of increasing it, if any Hon. - Member set it at defiance. Lord DUNCAN said he considered the notice which Hon. Members received was too short. He thought that they should receive 48 hours' notice instead of 12. Lord G. SOMERSET said that he was guided by the provisions of the Act of Parliament in the notice which was given, and it was taken to the usual r es id ence o f lion. Members with all convenient expedition. But if they once went outside the rules and regulations of the Act, it would put them to great inconvenience. The question was then put and agreed to, that Mr. Mark Blake be discharged from the custody of the Ser getint-at-Arms. Lord KELBURNE presented a petition against the propositions of her Majesty's Government (as we un derstood). Mr. ICIURPHY presented a petition from the shoe makers of Cork, signed by 547 persons, against any al teration in the duty on foreign manufactured leather. Col. ACTON presented a petition from a place in Ireland, praying that means might be devised for an ex tensive system of education under the direction of the Church Education Society of Ireland. Mr. VILLIERS presented several petitions from York and other places, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. Sir GEORGE CLERK presented a petition from Stamford, against the proposed reduction on the duty on foreign boots and shoes. TIPPERARY AND DJ yizEs ELECTION. The SPEAKER informed the House that he had re ceived a communication from the petitioners against the return of the sitting Members for Tipperary and De vizes, stating their intention of withdrawing the petition. RIGHT OF PETITIONING. Lord F. EGERTON rose, and said that, on bringing forward the resolutions of which he had given notice, relative to the presentation of petitions, it wou ld not be necessary for him to go at length into a subject already so fully discussed. The object which he had in view was of a twofold character; he wished in the first place to open the doors of the House to the petitions of the people, and in the next place he was desirous that th at should be done under such regulations as would prevent undue interfer ence with the control of public business in that House.. He b e gged leave to say, that in putting himself forward on that occasion lie did not wish to interfere with the claims of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. He was fully prepared to admit, that all the honour that could follow a settlement of the question, belonged exclusively to that Hon. Member ; and he (Lord F. Egerton) had inter posed solely from a conviction that an individual like himself, without influence or authority in that House, would not have to contend with obstacles to which a leader of any party might be exposed. He could assure the House that hi s on ly Avishw to put an end to a s t a t e o f things which he found was likely to lead to great üblie inconvenience. The Noble Lord concluded by moving thq first resolution as follows :--" That every Member offering to present a. petition to the House, not being a petition for a Private metentßollthbeefpoarertitehsefrlloomusweh, wham c ß o il n l fi , te o l rrelating himself to o a to as statement it comes, of the number of signatures attached to it., an d. of the material allegations contained in it, and to the reading* of the prayer of such petition." Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion. Mr. WALLACE protested against the passing of this resolution, as acting pr e j u di c i a lly . on the House during the present Session; but hi, a l so m ore strongly objected to making it a standing irder.
