The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that he should on this day se'nnight present a Bi!1 for the consideration of.. their Lordshipq, for the better administration of justice in the Court of Chancery, and for regulating proceedin gs in bankruptcy. COAL TRADE. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented a peti tion from Belfast, praying for the rep:al of the duties on coals. It was the Noble Marquis's earnest wish that Parliament would follow up the recommendation of the Committee on this important subject. He entreated their Lordships to give the subject their most earnest attention, for he had no hesitation in saying it was one of the most grievous taxes upon the poorer class that could possibly be conceived. He wished to know from the Noble Earl at the head of his Majesty's Government whether his Ma jesty's Ministers had made up their minds to relieve his Majesty's suljects from this grievous tax ? Earl GREY observed that, in answer to the Noble Marquis, he only considered it necessary to state, that this matter had certainly been under the attention of his Majesty's Government, and lie trusted that in a short time, when the whole state of national arrangement which his Majesty's Ministers intended to recommend should be brought before the House, the intentions of the Goven ment on this subject would be fully explained, and till that period he declined making any other answer to the Nale Lord.—( Hear, hear. ) " The NOBLE EARL then presented petitions praying ter Parliamentary Reform from Cumberland, Carrickfergus, Bishop Auckland, Dumbarton, C', , isley, and several other places. In doing so the Noble Earl observed that it Would not he necessary for him at present to state his opinions on this subject, though decidedly they did not go the length elf seceding to all the propositions mentioned in the petitions.* In the general measures, however, he entirely,concurred. He, had stated to the House in the b.ginning ht the pre sent Session that he was perfectly Convinced of the propriety of the soundness of the principle, and tlt,f the salutary effects of this great me isure, when carried into execution. He had felt convinced of the ne cessity of looking to this question with the greatest at'en tion, and of the adoption of some efficient measures for the purpose of carrying it into effect. He felt exceedingly happy in being enabled to tell their Lordships, though his Majesty's Ministers had found it a work of considerable difficulty, yet they had at last succeed. d in framing a meas sure which h e t ru st e d wou ld correspond with th e prayer of some of the petitions —a measure which the Ministers trusted they had effected without exceeding the bounds of justice and of well-advised moderatitm.— (Hear, hear.) — Those measures had met with the entire concurrence of every one of his Majesty's Ministers, and they would be presented at as early a period as possible to the attention of the, other House of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) IRELAND. The Earl of DARNLEY said that he had a petition ;o present to the same affect from those districts of Kent with which he wae most connected ; and he Would take that opportunity of congratulating the House and the country on what had just fallen from the Noble Earl. From the confidence he had in the honest intentioree and great abili ties of that Noble Earl, he hal no doubt that the just ex pectations of the country would be satisfied whenever thee measure should be brought forward. Theme tlfd not know what that m easu r e w as , an d that notniog could be more deprecated by him then soy wild plan of Parlia mentary Reform, such as went under the name of Radical Reform, and included universal suffrage and short Pau Ile merits ; yet he begged leave to express himself so far—if the term was not discrediting —a Radical Reformer, as to be of opinion that unless the plan should embrace all that the just expectation of the country called for, it would not he one to satisfy the public. Whatever was done in the way of Reform must be done in earnest, and the Ministry must set their shoulders fairly to the wheel. Another point to which their attention ought particularly to be turned, was the condition of Ireland. The measure of the Catholic Emancipation which haul been carried by the Noble Duke, was undoubtedly of great service, but it was much to be lamented that th it measure had not been fol lowed up by others of equal s-rvice to that unfortunate country. Time, however, had been wasted in talking, without anything being done. Ireland required many such measures, and, above all, it required that a permanent provision should be made for its poor. That was a mea • sure which must come at last, and the Ministry would do themselves great credit by introducing Such a measure. Lord Viscount AIELBOUR NE—He trusted that the measure which had been alluded to by his Noble Ft iend (the First Lord of the Treasury ) would be :seilicient to aneet the just expectations of the people. As, however, the Noble Lord who hal just sat down had mentioned the state of Ireland, anti suggested a measure for the ame lioration of the people of that country, he (Lord Mel bourne) thought that it might be satisfactoty to the Noble Lord to state, that notwithstanding the great press of fru einess that had come upon the present Government since their accession to office, they had paid the closest atten tion to those necessary and remedial measures which all felt were so requisite fur the welfare and safety of that country. The Noble Lord had said, that he trusted that this Session would not he welted like the last in talking about these things, anti doing nothing. He, however, begged leave to say, that all those preliminary discussions had been of the greatest service in preparing the way for the present measures ; and, in particular, one Noble Lord had called the attention of the Clouse to the Report of the Committee of the other House, which bad been found to be of much use. To that Report they had paid the greatest attention ; and with respect to that which formed one of the heaviest pressures on Ire land, via.—the Grand Jury Taxation—they had al ready procured and digested a measure which must necessarily have its commencement in the other Helm, and which would he submitted to them in a very short time; and though this must be admitted to be a question of very great difficulty, yet he trusted that the one about to be proposed would be found to afford an effectual remedy to the evils supposel to exist there. There was also a great feeling prevailing as to the two other Bills, which had been paswd about seven or eight years ago. He meant the Vestry and Stub-letting Acts. As to the Vestry Act there was a Bill prepared entirely to repeal the present Act, and to substitute another measure in its place. As to the Sub-letting Act, a measure was prepared, which he trusted would be found to contain all the principle which was advantageous and beneficial, and at the satne time divested of everything of an objectionable character to be found in the law as it stood at present. With respect to tolls and corporations, which was also another matter supposed to press heavy on that country, it was not intended to propose any Legislative measure; but the Government of Ireland proposed to institute legal pro ceedings, which would try the right of tolls, and it was thought that as much relief would be derived from that measure, as from any actual law on the subject. The No ble Lord haul alluded to a permanent relief for the poor of Ireland. Upon that question he would not enter • but he would state to the Nobl e L ord, that with respect to ' the tem porary employment of the poor, and the relief of that se vere distress which was so deeply felt, a measure was in contemplation, which, in th e course of a y . short i time, would be submitted to the oth er House. Hie Majesty's ser vants had been very anx i ous , t h at for the sake Ltise-x. ex pediting business, some of the measures should b e first introduced in the (louse of Lords ; but their Lordships well knew that with sonie measures this was absolutely impossible. With respect to the Sub-letting Act, how. ever, that could be introduced to their Lordships, and he would have the honour in a few days of laying the Bill on their Lordships' table. The Earl of WICKLOW was glad to hear what had fallen (rem the Noble Lord. But considering the short time that the present Ministers had been .i in power, he could not help fearing that they were hurrying i nto crude and hasty measures, that might be productive of evil to Ireland. He trusted, however, that they had taken up! several of the matures that were in contemplation by their predecessors, for that was the ottly way in which such measures could be properly prepared and digested.-- Adjourned. HOtTSV OF COMMOIVS, FF,Baturti, 3. The gallery was opened this day at a Quatter past Two o'clock, and shortly afterwards it 'Was very much crowded with strangers. Mr. Hu entered tl e House at a Quarter before Time ' o'clock, and was introduced by Mr. A. Dawson and Mr. D. W. HARVEY. The Hon. Menthe.. immediately la belled his seat next Mr. Hutt* on the Opposition side of the House. Considerable curiosity was excited by his ap pearance. The following Members took the baths and kheir seats : Right Hon. Francis Jefiftey, for Forrat, &b. Burghs. Henry Hunt, Esq., for Prestoh. Winthrop maokwot i Phied, Esq., fo r St. G ermans. Charles Tenn?lon, ~ for Blet c hi ng l y. Bight Hea. Sir Henry Hardinge, for Newport (COrnWall). NEW WRITS.

Mr. ELLIC was instructed, on behalf of his Nob:e Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to give no tice, that. on Thursday nest it was his intention to move for the production of certain pipets relating to Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, and the Rideau Canal.— ( Hear, hears) Mr. O.

Mr. Alden'',An WOOD presented a petition from the Ward br Cripi legate to prrvent the spread of canine mail aess. REFORM JN PARLIAMENT. Mr. M. A. TAYLOR rose to present a petition for Reform, ftnm the inhabitants of Durham. In that city the tight of election was in the eorporation, hut there were a great number of inhabitants, nut in the Corpora tion of that city, of great r?spectability and influence, who had a Pair claim to vote for representatives. The pe titioners prayed that the. House would do away with rot ten boroughs, and diminish the expense of elections, which was now sometimes so . great, that f ew p ersons could afford to stand a contest. they prayed, too, far the extension of the pi'eSent limited franchise. He shared fully in the sentiments expressed in that petition, his feeling in favour of Reform being no Lew feeling with him—no new idea; he had been a reformer for many years. It was to him, baited, a subject of great satisfaction to reflect that if Reform had been granted many years ago—if it had been granted when Earl Grey proposed it in that House, oceans of blood and countless treasure would have been saved to the public. He hailed it as a good omen that the question of Reform at present was pressing itself on the considera tion of men in all parts of the kingdom, and he trusted that the good sente of the House would be shown by treat ing favonrably the arguments for Reiorm, and by support ing the measures of Reform that might be brought in unanimously. He would not trouble the House further, reserving himself for the time when the subject should come properly under discussion, when, if the House would allow him, he would address it. The petition was laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. Mr. DENISON presented a petition from Christ church, Surrey, praying fur the rep' al of the House and Window Taxes. The IfoN. tlith moved for a return of the amount of aseestttnts of 'houses in town and country. REFORM IN PARLIAMENT, Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSON said he had ' Several peti tions to present, prayittg fol. Reform in Parliament, and he was serry he did not see in his place his Hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, who, if he had lately visited that part of the kingdom, must be much surprised at what he had heard and seen, if he still itaintained his opinion that there was no feeling in Scotland in favour of Reform. Fran all the information which he had re ceived, the feeling in favour of Reform was spreading most rapidly, and was almost universal. He must say, that the meetings in Scotland had been so numerous, that gentlemen must see that their own private interests, if they had private interests, must give Way to the public good. The feeling in Scotland Was, that the landed interests, the re d 'Owners and occupiers of the land, were not suffi ciently represented ; and that the large population of wealthy towns were not sufficiently represented ; and that feeling would, he supposed, have great weight with the House in giving the people a full and fair re presentation. The first petition be would present was fecal the Commissioners of Supply, Justices of the Peace, and freehold,rs of the county of Kirkcudbright. These petitioners stated that they had nit Wore petitioned, be cause they had no hopes that their petition on this sub ject weni i be attended to ; but that not' there was a Mi nistry pledged to Reform, they had hopes that their wishes would be gratified, and they trusted to the Ministry to re ticem their pledge. in theit hopes and in their confidence he participated. As a representative of a Scotch cannty, he must say that he was willing to see en extension of the elective franchise, but he was not willing to support any extension of that franchise which would militate against the political condition of the landed interest, particularly in Scotland: lie hoped there was no plan to militate against that interest—if there was, he should oppose it. He conceived that the representatives of counties should be sent to Parliament by the lauded interest, and any propo sition of Reform which Weht to give that interest such a power, he Would support. The petitioners also prayed for retrenchment, and they called on the House to reduce all salaries, and to retrench every unnecessary expence in the most unsparing manner. They considered it a great hardship, when the price of all their produce had fallen one-half, that the salaries of persons in office should be continued to the full extent to which they were formerly raised. They begged the House, therefore, to institute an inquiry into the subject, and also to abolish all sinecures. They recommended, that person• who bad retired front the public service should be Lilly remune rated, but they prayed that the House would reduce the expenditure to the lowest point possible, consistent with justice. lie cordially concurred in their prayer, but he hoped Reform would not attack the bosoms of families. lie wished to see the services of all public servants pro perly considered, and he hoped all persons who had duties porforin would be adequately rewarded. The Honour able Member concluded by presenting the petition from Kircudbright, which was read and laid on the table. That petition, the Honourable Member said, was from persons who had already the elective franchise, and they prayed that it might be extended to those who possessed it not.—The petition he had then to present was from par ties who had not the franchise, and prayed that they might have it. This petition was from a place called Kelton, we be:ieve, and was from the heritors and occu piers of land in that p irish.—He also presented a third petition, from another part of Kircudbright, and stated that there was no part of the country which did not share the same feelings expressed in these•petitions,— Petitions laid on the table. Mr. KENNEDY presented a petition from a place in Scotland, praying for a repeal of the duty on candles. Mr. HUNT rose amid the greatest silence. The Ho nourable Gentleman could assure the House that this duty was of the greatest importance to the labouring classes. He should therefore give the petition his support. He would take that opportunity of stating, that it was his intention in a short time to bring before the House the injurious monopoly exercised by one great house in the article of tallow. The Hon. Member for Westbury had said that thegreatest distress was occasioned by the accumulation of property amongst a few individuals. Now, the house to which he alluded had, at the present moment, 600,0001. laid down in tallow. The consequence was, that article had risen from 365. to 48s. per cwt. There was no scarcity, but this advance had taken place entirely in con sequence. He was therefore determined to bring the subject before the House. Mr. WARBUR roN denied that the rise in that article was owing t o monopo l y . Th e war in Poland, an d the disease that had been raging in Russia, were sufficient causes for an advance. It was not, he would contend, the large purchases that had been made, and neither could he see bo w t h at House cou ld i nterfere w i th the private business of individuals.— (g em ., L"ar-) WEST INDIES Mr. KEITH DO UGLAS said h . e h es a t d to I move,_ twin tain papers connected with the N v )1 understood were not objecte d `^,* cer- 6tineellor of the exchequer. Of such inaportance was the agitation of the present question relating to West . India property, that he hoped before many days elapsed, the Noble Lord (Althorn) would &plain to the House the views of his Majesty's Ministers on the subject. Lord ALTHORP would lase no time in doing so. But be could not now pledge himself to bring forward I the subject of West India affairs Ott any particular day. Ile only rose theh to say, that he had no objection to 'the Hotise being in poisession of the papers moved for: Sir J. WROTTESLEY ,presented a petition froM Wolverhampton, praying for Reform'. The Hon. Member supported the Petition, and stated that he himself bad been a 'reformer For 30 years. Mr. LITTLETON would not trespass on the House further than to say that the petition apresied the general sentiments of all the perstins in that popilloti town, and that it bore the tignatitreS of many persons Who had all their lives been, until lately, opposed to its prayer. Mr. HUNT—I rise, Sir, to present a petition from Thom Falcon, in Sotnersetshire, and as the prayer is short I will take the liberty of reading it. It pray/ for a totnmutatioh of tithes, an abateineht of taxation, particularly the malt tax, the abolition Of all useleSS places and sinecure's, Reform in Parliament, and Vote by ballot.--( Hear.) # need scarcely say, Sir, that with the prayer bf this petition I cordially agree. I think, how_ ever, that the petitioners have, in the preseht instance, pht the cart before the horse, for it appeal* to hie, that hitless they get Reform and vote by ballot, the other evils they complain of will never he redressed. The petition comes from a-class of agricultural labourers who, although greatly distressed, have behaved in the most peaceable manner; and out of the several hithdredb that have signed it only three can Wri* their own names.—(Great and continued laughter.) After a short pause the Hon. Member proceeded. 1 must apologize to the House, as I am but a young member—(Laughter)—but I am informed by my friend of a mistake that I have fallen into —instead of only three persons whti bigned the petition being aisle to write their names, Y should have stated that, there were only three who could not do so —(Hear, hear, hear.)—l am of opinion, Sir, that if the in tended Reform in Parliament is fol. tho object of protecting the landed interest, already so well protected, it will never batisfy the country. 1 am, Sir, and always have 'been, a Radical Reformer—(Hear)—and I shall always continue so. With respect, Sir, to the Corn Laws I shall give notice of a motion on the subject. I think it unnecessary to go into a general statement of my principles; they are well known. I must, however, say that no Reform will be of any avail Unless it is aecompanied by ballot. /am happy td see that that principle is becoming exceedingly fashionable. 1 can assure the House that in all the towns I have travelled through the universal wish is, that unless the ballot be established they would rather not have the curse of election at all.—(Hear.) Mr. C. FERGUSON had no wish that the landed interest should be protected at the expense of others, but he was a decided enemy to universal suffrage; for if property were not to be represented there would be no security for the country. After a few wbrds from Mr. C. PELHAM the petition Was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUNT presented another petition from Manchester, and could assure the House it expressed the senti ments of the majority Of that great and populous town► It pre) ed for the abolition of the Corn Laws, Reform in Parliament, universal suffrage—(Laughter)-- and annual Parliaments. He fully agreed With the peti tioners) and he thought the House ought not to exclude the right of any one of the electors. He would take that opportunity of stating that his (Mr. Hunt's) constituents had been grossly misrepresented It was stated, that by the late election they had shown their hostility to the present Ministers. Such was not the case, neither were they actuated with the least hostility to their late Member. During the wholecontest not a single word of an offensive nature was addressed to him. He would disclaim for himself and his constituents all hos tility to the present Government, and if the intended measure of Reform was not exactly according to hill views, yet, if it included vote by ballot, Ministers should have his hearty support. (Hear.)--He could, however, tell them, that without ballot they might as well do nothing► at all, for the country would be less satisfied then than it was now. The petition was then read. CORN LAWS. Mr. HUNT gave notice that on this day month he should move for a total repeal of the existing Corn Laws, and the admi,sion of all grain free from any duty what ever—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CAMPBELL presented a petition from the inhz• bitants of St. Andrew's praying for Parliamentary Reform. The petitioners venerated the Constitution, and, at the time they prayed for Reform, they trusted that whatever alterations were made would have the Constitution for their basis. Mr. N. CALVERT presented a petition from Hoxton, in Hertfordshire, against the duty on coals. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from the town ship of Long, and another from Milton, in Yorkshire,:prayi ng for the reduction of salaries and Reform. The Noble Member presented a petition also• from Yorkshire, praying for the abolition of Colonial Slavery. Ilia Lordship also moved for certain woollen returns. Mr. HUME gave notice that he should move to-mor row far a list of all the pensions that had been granted under the 57th of George 111. and the 6th of George ll'. Also that be should move fora return, shewing the aggre• Rate amount of money paid to the different branches of the oyal Family (with the exception of the Civil List), with the several Acts and authorities under which they were paid. The Hon. Member presented a petition from the parish of St. Anne's, Westminster, signed by SO house holders, and another from the parish of St. Luke's, signed by 2,000, praying for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes. With the prayer the Hon. Member cordially concurred. He considered this tax ought to be removed, even if his Mijesty's Government should have to im pose s a me other tax in lieu of it. lie presented a peti tion from the inhabitants of St. Philip and Jacuh, in Bristol, to the same effect. The Hon. Member presented petitions from the city of Perth, the corporation of Perth, from the Magistrates and Council of the Royal borough of Arbroath, from the borough of Annan, from the royal borough of Forfar, from Lanark, from Dingwall, from Chichester, from Marylebune, and some other places, praying for Reform, and the greater part for universal suffrage and vote by ballot. The Honourable Member agreed with the petitioners, that unless there was this ex tensive Reform the country would receive no relief. He wished, on the subject of taxes, be could influence the House to repeal. all except those that fell on landed gen- tlemen—(Much laughter)—fur the purpose of punishing them for hiving occasioned the universal outcry against axation which had now been raised. It would be but justice if it were so. Lord ALTHORP said, I rise to inform the House that his Majesty's Government will be prepared to submit to the House their measure for Reform on the lst of March next. I wish also to state that his Majesty's Go vernment have determined to entrust the bringing_ forward of that measure to my Noble Friend the Paymaster of his Majesty's Forces. We have selected that Noble Lord because of his perseverance on the subject of Reform, at a time when it was almost impossible to bring forward the measure. My Noble Friend has proposed various partial measures of Reform when even partial measures were looked upon with disfavour. Now, therefore, when the cause is prosperous, the Government thinks that, on ac count of his perseverance and ability, the No‘de Lord should be the person selected to bring forward a measure of full and efficient Reform, instead of the partial measures which he had hitherto proposed.—(Hear.)-- I understand there is in the order of the day a motion of mine on the subject of the growth of tobacco in Ireland. I beg leave to give notice that I shall defer bringing forward that measure until to-morrow fortnight. I also give notice that I shall to-morrow lay on the table the proposition which his IVlajesty's Ministers mean to submit, for the purpose of making up the Civil List. I shall lay the papers on the table to-morrow, and at the same time explain the nature of the mea sures intended to be adopted. On tne 3I of niaich I shall bring in a Bill for consolidating the Customs, and also a Bill for consolidating the Stamp Acts. It is not my intention to propose any addition to the Stamp Duties in Ireland. Sir CHARLES WETIIERELL took the liberty of asking whether the Paymaster of his Majesty's Forces, whom the House had this moment been informed was to be deputed by his Majesty's Government to bring forward their proposed measure of Reform, was or was not a Member of his Majesty's Cabinet ? . - Lord ALTHORP—The Paymaster of his Majesty's Forces is not a Member of the Cabinet. But if the Hon. Member means by that question to impute that the measure to be brought forward by my Noble Friend may not have the full concurrence of the Members of his Majesty's Cabinet, one and all of them, he is mistaken.—(l,oud cheers.) — This is not an unprecedented step. There are precedents for it. It happened accidentally that the same course was pursued when Mr. Burke brought forward his pro position respecting the Civil List Establishment. But if this were not so, it must be apparent to Hon. Gentlemen that if his Majesty's Government chose to depute any gentle -n holding an official situation to bring forward a alea "'" gentled= lolenaly pledging himself to ~_ be responsible for the Measure, it could make no diff,•rence to the House whether he were a Member of the Cabinet or not. A Mcatiaa wished to knOw whether it would ndt he Getter for the Noble Lord. to postpone his measure respecting thb grdwiug of tohicco its Ireland to a more dist !tit date, that the pre'ence pi' the Irish Menthols might be insured on the discussion? Lord .ALTHORP said he should not delay it fuither. He had every reason to relieire that the Irish Members would be - preseiit then: Another MEMexe, under the gallery desired to know if the measure of Reform wag intended to extend to Scotland. Lotd ALTHORP hoped be woied be excused for Raying that he shoUld decline answering any further. question reipbctihg the measure until it was brought forward. Thb Measure wag intenti,il to eivend to Scotland. GALWAY PRANCHISE BILL. Mr. S. RICE moved for leave to bring in a Rill% equa lize the political rights of Protestants and Catholics in the town of Gala•ay. Mr. NORTH said, the Protestants of Galway enjoyed no privile.ea wl:iCh were not posses ted by etery corporation in In land'. He wished to lno* Whether the Hon. Mem ber meant to extend the principle of the Bill to all those corporations.. Air. S. RICE said the object of the Bill Was to correct an anomaly which eitisted in the town of Galway alone. The Dili was approVed of by the majority of the corpora tioh of Galway, a: d by the people of the town generally. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. _ _ Mr. HOBHOtJSE mired for, and obtained, leave to Ming in, a fill for the be, ter regulatiofi of parish vestries. Mr. KEMP pttsented a petition froth Lewes, praying for Reform. Mr. PERCEVAL gave notice of a motion for Monday the 14th instant, the subject of which could not be weer taimd in the gallery. MI:. Alderman THONIPSON presented a petition from hornbill, London, Faking for a repeal tlf the Hbuse and and Window-tax. Lord GARLitS presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Wigton, Scotland, in favour of Parliamentary Refbim; SPECIAL COMAIISSIOIk, Mr. HUNT inquired of the Noble Lord who filled the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it was the intention of Government to submit to the House any offi cial statements relative to the judicial proceedings under the late Special Commission. In his opinion it was desir able that the House of Commons should be put in posses sion of more information on the subject than they had hither b received, as the bUrnings ifs the Southern coon • ties had not yet ceased, and the system in which they ori g.nated was still in operation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that his Majesty's Ministers did not mean to communicate any farther information connected with the Special Com mission,—at least of their own accord. Mr. HUNT said, that such being the case, he should feel it his duty on an early day to bring forwal d a motion for the explanatory papers to which he had alluded. He had recently passed through the disturbed districts, and heard a good deal of conversation respecting those pro ceedings which induced him to come to his present deter• minatien. It was most important to call public attention to that had already occurred, as he could assure the House that the burnings were still goirg on, and that the discontents of the people were by no means allayed - The SPEAKER here reminded the Hon. Gentleman that the discussion ul.on which he was entering was alto g ther irregular. lie sat down accordingly. On the moi ion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, certain returns relative to the East India and China trade were ordered to be continued. POSTMASTER-GENERAL. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sought for leave to bring in a Bill to enable his Majesty to ap point a Postmaster-General to Great Britain and Ireland. The Noble Lord stated that the intention of Ministers to abolish the office of Postmaster-General in Ireland made it necessary to pass such a Bill as be now proposed. Mr HUME hoped that the inconveniences attendant on the present twopenny-post system, respecting which he had already presented several petititions, would be duly con sidered in the contemplated arrangements. It was ex tremely vexatious that those who resided on one side of a street should be compelled to pay 3d., while their opposite neighbours paid Id. less for precisely the same accom modation. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered, twat the subject mai under the consideration of the Post master-General, who, be trusted, would soon be enabled to cone to a satisfactory decision. Mr. GOULBURN said it ought to be borne in mind that the abolition of the office of Irish Postmaster• General hail been avowedly resolved on by the late Government during the last year. Mr. HUME said it was but reasonable to expect that the office of Postmaster-General in Scotland,with a sal iry of 8001. a-year for no actual service, should also be done away with. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, that there was no such office in existence.—(Laughter.) The only post in Scotland, at all analogous, was that of Deputy-Postmaster. After a few words from Mr. S. RICE, leave was given, and The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in a Bill for the above-mentioned purpose, which was read a first time, and ordered for a second reading on Monday. To be printel. Mr. O'BRIEN gave notice that he should move on Tuesday, the Bth of February, for leave to bring in a Bill, having for its object the relief of the aged and infirm poor in Leland. Mr. Alderman ATKINS presented a petition from the burgesses of Arundel. praying for a repeal of the duty on coals carried coastways. Adjourned at a Quarter to Six. A considerable number of persons had collected in the lobbies of the House, for the purpose of witnessing the ar rival of Mr. Hunt to take his seat. When the lion. Member made his appearance, he was r, ceived with three rounds of cheering. The crow , l, however, was not near so great as had been anticipated. RE-ASSEMBLING OF PARLIAMENT.—Pre vioI's to the opening of the new Parliament, the SPECTA• Ton ventured to predict that the Session would bc distin guished in a remarkable manner by the important results of its deliberations. The country knows how this has already becu realized ; and it looks forward with anxious interest to the labours of the remaining portion of the Session. The SPECTATOR, as a watcher and expositor of events, will continue to bestow upon Parliamentary sub jects the same searching scrutiny as heretofore; mad will narrate, with clearness and impartiality, the whole proceedings of both Houses, after its own peculiar method —a method which has bren much approved, as communi cating the greatest amount of accurate information at the least cost of time to the reader. The flattering success which has attended the recent exertions of the SPECTATOR, (its regular weekly sale having, since the commencement of the Session, increased by nearly 1,400 copies), justifies perseverance in the same course, and will stimulate to in creased activity in every part of its comprehensive flan. The proprietors pledge themselves that no pains of cost shall L, spared to render the SPECTATOR, the first news paper of the kind in this country.-4, Wellington -street, Strand. SPCRTING ANECDOTE.—A few days ago a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of Taunton, who is notorious for the strictness with which he guards his preserves, was visiting at the house of a friend, where he was introduced to a third gentleman, who was an utter stranger to him. In the course of conversation this latter personage, who affected cons id era bl e e ff em i nacy an d dan dyism, intimated that he was very desirous of enjoying a day's shooting, at which sport, however, he was a mere tyro. The man of the preserves looked at the querist, and in an unusual fit of generosity promised a day's pleasure. Accordingly it was agreed that on the next morning he should breakfast with him at his seat, and thence he won'd accompany him to the covers. Morning came, and with it our sportsman dressed, not in the usual shooting gear, but in a full ball dress with dancing shoes instead of boots. His host stared, though rejoicing that n othing more formidable was a b ou t t o b e i ntro d u ced into his preserves. The meal concluded, he tak e s hint to the window. " There is the cover ; Ir m gre t that I cannot accompany you." Iliad he been an evident sportsman, he would have followed hint like one of his own pointers.) The dandy went, and in ! proved to be an unfailing marks man ; the birds rose, and fell as quickly, - until the keeper spied him—demanded his name—rushed to his master.— " He has my permission, JoHN ; the pumps and silk stockings will only frighten the birds a little, aba " Why lord bless me, Sir, he's a knocking'ent down right and left —he's killed a bushel." Away runs the astonished owner —the stranger had already killed 5 hares, 20 pheasants, and 2 cocks. Enraged, the owner eyes his martyred friends—an' explanation e n sues —th e never missing shot is warned off the manor—pumps, silk stockings, and It was Captain M—, a celebrated sporting character.— Felix Farlfy. THE DERBYSHIRE LEAD ;NUNES. (Prom the Sheffield Iris.) Tsto or three weeks since we called the attention of the Public to the distress at present existing among the iearl miners in the Peak of Derbyshire. We have subse quently- had the satis'gction of announcing the receipt' of sundry sums of money, contributed to alleviate that dis tress, by benevolent individuals, who had read our Etat,- ments. Castleton, Hucklow, and Bra . lwell, may be men tioned aS the platies where the greatest privations are en dured. the priniiipal seat of the distress, however, as Bradwell: We have before us two letters addressed by an individual of that village to Mr H. Cocker, of Hather sage, who has actively and laudably exerted himself in connexion with some other kindly disposed individuals, in promoting a subscription to assilt the suffering in habitants. From the former of the letters, it appears that the pdpulation of Bradttell is 1,220 souls, con stituting 210 or 216 families; of these families, 50 may be said to depend for subsistence altdgether on the raising and smelting of lead ore; 50 more on weaving ; another 50 by employment in an adjacent factory ; and the re mainder are employed either in farming, or other miscel laneous occupations. Of ateie, the miners and weavers are the parties suffering most seVeteir. Time writer says (Dec. 21, 1830), they " are actually earning, no more, on an average, than 4s. 6d., or, to say the most, ss. per week, al.d this is only obtained lay more than common hours of labour." This latter circumstance the writer is greatly afraid (and with reason) cripples both the cor poreal and the moral powers of the sufferers. He adds— " Ho , these poor creatures exist I canot tell; it is true there are some helps in reference to coals, or rather fire—the cupolas fUrniih ashes, or rather cind ers, to perhaps one-fourth of these without expense, and Were you present there, viz. at the cupolas, for one week, I am surd you would feel Very much : small chit_ dren from eight to men and wonidii of seSenty years of age are there sight and day waiting of thei r t urn d o t t i ng on , w h en they must gather them. I am led to think, that even negto slavery itself in many of its branches, is but the miniature of human woe, compared with what is experienced in some of the doleful dtvellings of the inhabitants of this town." The second of the letters above referred to, and which, was only written on Saturday, contains the following cases, via.:— Ist Case.—One family when visited, consisting of man, wife, and four children, (and who have recently buried tti•ci others, supposed from real starvation,) were found in the most wretched condition—the wife having been confined in bed by affliction for a Icing Limb, find now no better; while their aggregate earnings amounted to no mote than 6s: per week. 2d f. ase.—A man and wife, With eight children, whose income for the whole family had only been Ss. pCr week for the last 32 weeks previously to being visited—of this I had personal know ledge. 3d Case.—Five men with families, all of which work at ofie and the same mine, whose earnings only amounted, on an average, to for the last 32 weeks. Ath Gse.—(Noticed by Mr. Joseph Barber.)—A family of six ptrsdhi, Who for eight weeks had got no more than 7s. per week. sth Case.—Two brothers, both married men ; one having one one child, the other two, *ere found in the most destitute con dit.on, they had neither fire, bedding, nor hardly any food of any description : their clothing would scared, be worth the notice of a common rag gatherer, if found on the highway ; and what is truly astonishing, none of the above have made applica tion for parish relief. " We should (says the writer) feel comparatively happy if the above statements were culled from the circumstances of the in habitants generally, as solitary instances of wretchedness and Woe, The suffering, indeed, ash ou well know, is not universal, but we venture to say that it is general. How impossible to exist on the pittances above referred to ; yet they are facts to which we pledge ourselves as being responsible for their authenticity ; and we really think that many fine boys and girls (as well as aged persons) have been brought to the grave—the house appointed for all living—prematurely, for want of food and nourishment necessary for the support of animal life. It is, however, due to many of our townsmen to state, that the poor, as paupers, are well maintained ; and we feel it also our duty to say, that a goodly number of the inhabitants, whose horizon has been illumined with brighter rays, have done much in a regular way for these sufferers ; but many of these, in their turn, are now themselves come under the iron hand of poverty. In addition, I may just mention one particular. Many of the poorest families are permitted by the farmers to plant two, three, four, and some five or six pecks of potatoes, the produce of which forms the chief source of supply in their greatest necessity." We can add nothing to the eloquence of such state ments as the foregoing : hut having submitted such evi deuce of the unequivocal existence of very deep distress at Bradwell, and in the districts adjoining thereto, we may venture to appeal to the humanity of our readers, and through them to other individuals, on behalf of these poor Derbyshire miners. We have, as above stated, already received several contributions for this purpose, and we shall gladly take charge of any further donations that may be entrusted to onr care, and which, we believe, will be judiciously dispens , d to relieve the most necessitous cases by a Committee formed and acting on the spot. To our townspeople in general, this appeal is urged on tke ground of neighbourhood to the suffering districts ; to- those engaged in cert tin manufacturers, in which a large quantity of lrad is used, the reduced price of this article., which had led to the ruin of the miners, should furnish a motive for rendering souse assistance; and may we be allowed to add, that opulent individuals at a dis tance, who may have visited the unsurpassably romantic scenery of the Peak, or have been delighted by its beauty, through the means of pictures or descriptions, might do honour to their best feelings, were they, on this occasion, to transmit their mite of benevolence, however small, tow -rd mitigating the pressure of such evils as above de scribed, existing at this moment in the most interesting— and let us add—peaceable part of Great Britain. LITERATURE. HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE UNITED STATES. This splendid work—the cost of whose publica tion must be considerable—so far as it has yet pro ceeded, displays marks of great diligence and re search. D'd it possess no other recommenda tions than its embellishments, these would be fully sufficient to ensure it favour with the public. As respects the historical portion, it appears per fectly free from party prejudices; and in its style is concise, and familiar without being homely. Tie following prospectus details the nature of the work better than we can pretend to do. We shall there fore adopt it, in lieu of any further remarks of our own : ADDRESS. The rapid career in which the Republic of the United States of North America has attained its present elevated rank in the scale of nations is without parallel in the History of the World ; and its continued and accelerated progress excites a deep interest in every part of the civilized glebe. With Great Britain inter course is daily becoming more frequent, and the connexion be tween the two countries more extended and intense. It is less surprising, therefore, that correct information on every subject connected with this Republic should be eagerly sought after, than that no elaborate and comprehensive Work on its History and Topography should exist. The fact may, indeed, in some measure be accounted fur by the comparatively recent occur rence of the events which must form the basis of the work. History, it is truly alleged, requires a distant eminence, from which to take an impartial view of the character of the trans actions which submit themselves to her recording pen : but more than half a century has now elapsed since the Colonists first as serted their independence; and the generation, whose arduous struggles achieved so glorious a result, has passed away to the silent tomb. En the Political part of our Work, it will be our aim to do justice without asperity; to applaud patriotism, but not to justify its excesses ; to condemn tyranny, but not to over look the virtues of many of its instruments : and to exhibit the kindly prospect of the future more strongly than the irritating aspect of the past. The Geographical part of our undertaking will be derived front the documents of the American Government and other recent and authentic resources, and will be accompanied by Correct Maps of every State in the Union, on a scale which will enable those who have connexions in the States to realize an accurate idea of the location of their transatlantic friends. The Natural History, comprising the Zoology, Geology, Mi neralogy, and Botany, of the btates, will afford a most interesting and extensive field of research, and will be illustrated with Engravings, beautifully executed. The Statistics, relating to Agriculture, Manufactures, Trade, and Commerce, will form a most important feature of the Work, as, in this portion, those who may be desirous of making a just estimate of the advantages of the country in a commercial point of view, will find a collection of authentic data from which they may safely form a judgment. The Manners, Custom ,, , and Religion, especially the latter, in a country where freedom of inquiry and of choice have been so pre-eminently unshackled, will yield a large class of facts eltici datory of the philosophy of the mind, and of the principles of Moral Philosophy and Theology, which will suggest reflections of the highest interest. The Topography of the Work will be new and universally in teresting, comprising every mode of habitation, from the log but to the gentleman's villa; from the emigrant's village to the seat of Government at Washington.
