He begged pardon in having made the mistake ; but the Bill was an enactment, and provided against those consequenceS which the Noble Lord (Brougham) feared. After a few words from Lord C.4.3IPIIELL and Lard BROUGHAM, - The LORD CHANCELLOR said that ho would not rro into a discussion of the subject until the Bill which was in progress in the Commons came before their Lord ships. He could only say that the Actor the Irish Parlia ment, 21st Geo. 111., was enacted not merely to legalise all previous marriages of Presbyterians, but to make all future marriages in that Church legal. The object - of the Act now under discussion was only to legalise marriages which had already taken place between Presbyterians and Episcopalian Protestants of the Church of England. It might certainly be a matter of future consideration whether' it were necessary to bring forward a larger measure on the subject of mar riages generally. He would not go further into the dis cussion at present. _ _ measure which Ns ould keep bread dearer than it naturally would be made by the competition of the consumers. The Hon. Member presented a similar petition from a congregation of Presbyterians.

Mr. O'CONNELL, said he was sorry this was not a declaratory act, for if it had been, it would have saved a great deal of trouble. The decision of the Judges was, in its nature, extra judicial, and in consequence would not carry the weight with it which it would had it • been a judicial decision. It was quite manifest that if this were a declaratory law it would prevent a great many anomalies that would other wise exist. 0 N WE DNE SD AY; the 9Kof MARCH, at Half- past Eight o'Clock, p.m., Dr. D.

Acheson, Viscount Arland, Sir Thomas Actinic!, T. D. Acker:, James Aen, o Colonel HOUSE OF CO3IIIIONS, Fen. 25. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said they could not declare the law to be otherwise than the Judges of the land had declared it to be. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said if this were made a declaratory Bill, it would not, in his opinion, do away with any difficulties which might otherwise exist. Ile had understood that this Bill was to be retro spective only in its nature, and that the prospective enactment should be reserved. As the object of the Bill was to prevent the degrading circumstances which would otherwise arise from the marriages which had already taken place, he thought that it related only to the re trospective measure, whilst the prospective measure should be a matter for a very grave deliberation. After a few words from Mr. O'CoNNELL and Lord Euor, in explanation, • , The Bill was read a seconl time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. Ad a re: it; r.;l. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Returns from some of the Public Offi -CS' were pre sented at the bar of the House, and ordered to be laid on the table. BRADFORD WATERWORKS.

" In the evening of a long toilsome life, if a man were to be obliged solemnly to declare what, without any exception, has been the most lovely thing which, on the surface of this earth, it has been his good fortune to witness, I conceive that, with out hesitation, he might reply, The mind of a young child.' "We observe with what delight a child beholds light—ce kurs—flowers--fruit, and every new object that meets his eye; and we all know, that (before his judgment be permitted to in terfere) for many years he feels—or rather suffers—a thirst which is almost insatiable. He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the Moon is ?—What are the Stars ? Where the rain, wind, and frost, come from ?—With innocent s i m pli c it y , he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle, when it is blo w ou t ? A n y story, or any history, h e greedily vours."

The Pub lication will then be continued Monthly. This delay of the Second Volume does not arise from any accidental circum stances, or from any want of preparation in the Editor, but has been arranged with the intention that the Printing may be in advance, so that the Monthly Volumes may n t be unduly hurried either in the prers or in the hands of the b:nder— the Publishers feel anxious that in these departments this Edi tion may be presented to the Subscrit ers in a manner worthy the extensive support which it has already received. The Second Volume will contain, A Midsammer-Night's Dream, the Taming of the Shrew, the Merchant of Venice, Much Ado about Nothing, and the Merry Wives of Windsor, with Critical and Explanatory Notices and Illustrations, forming in quantity as much as two-fifths of the Volume. 22, Ludgate street, Feb. 17, 1842. diameter, R APIER MACHE TEA TRAYS, 50s. the g i ory inchdia SET, of FULL.SIZED GOTHIC SHAPE.

Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Wesleyan minister and congregation of Houghton-le- Spring, in the county of Durham, praying for the entire and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws ; also a petition from the minister and elders of the Presbyterian Con gregation of Barrynenagh, praying for the introduction of a measure to legalise Presbyterian marriages in Ireland. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the ministers of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, pray ing not only for an Act to render valid those Presbyterian marriages which had already taken place, but also that the Presbyterian ministers might have the right con ferred upon them of solemnizing marriages for the future. With reference to what had passed on that subject last evening, he felt that it was necessary to explain what he had then stated. He had since understood that a Bill on the subject had been introduced into the other House of Parliament last evening, and he had been told that it was likely that the Bill in question would be brought introducing that the next week. u l r e to was th n e t o r t a L l o y e r d r e s h o i p f s a ' e H y o i n n s t e e n e t a i o r al 0 i f n Bill into the other House last evening, for having I c lr ti NE had also a directed that the measure should be sumitted to the Law Officers of the Crown, he had supposed that the Bill would have been returned to him (the Lord Chan cellor)on. petition to present on the subject. He could hardly ven- The I%:te r q previous ei s o t f o L its A i N n t s r p o d o u ven ture to hope that the Bill would be brought up so early as the Noble and Learned Lord had antici pated ; for he had understoodnow that unt i l a cer tain most important measure,before that House, should have been disposed of, no other measure of import ance would be discussed. He had hoped that the mea sure would have been fi r st introduced into their Lord ships' House. He would not venture to give an opinion upon the legal point, but he thought there could be no difference of opinion as to the necessity for passing some measure for the relief of those who had been be trayed into an awkward and disagreeable situation, through conceiving that to be the law which for many years had been universally considered as such. A re gard for the property and domestic happiness of a large number of families in Ireland 'demanded this act of jus tice at their Lordships' hands. Lord CAMPBELL wished to ask the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, if the Bill would be declaratory simply, or an Act, as the difference was most important to the par ties interested. The LORD CHANCELLOR begged to state, that the Bill was a declaratory one, and had been deli berately drawn up by his direction, and when intro duced to the House it would be foun d to correspond with the very letter of' the petitions. The Bill had been submitted to the law officers of the Crown, and ap proved of by them, and he trusted, that when it came up to that House,. he should be prepared to justify its form. He believed that it was a measure upon which there would be no difference of opinion. Lord BROUGHAM, in presenting a petition upon the subject, trusted that the Bill would not only be found to be a declaratory Bill, but that great care would be taken with respect to future marriages as well as those past. The LORD CHANCELLOR--I said it was not a declaratory Bill, but an ena c t m ent.—(Several Noble BR ANDLING JUNCTION RAILWAY.

MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL (IRELAND). Mr. )'CONNELL wished to ask the Noble Lord, the Secretary ,of State for Ireland, if it was the intention of her Majfisty's Ministers to bring in any Bill during the present Session to amend the Municipal Reform Bill in Ireland ? Lord ELIOT said, as the Right Hon. Gentleman had not given notice of his intention to ask the question, he regretted he was not then able to give a decisive answer to it ; however, he (Lord Eliot) knew that the Irish Municipal Reform Bill had been under the consideration of her Majesty's Ministers, but it was not in his power to state precisely what they proposed to do. Mr. O'CONNELL said he merely wished to know whether the matter was under consideration. BOROUGH OF WAREHAM. _ The SPEAKER informed the House that he had re ceived a communication from the agent of J. H. Cal craft, Esq., of the borough of Wareham, to the effect that it was not his intention to prosecute his petition against the return that had been made for that borough. PRESBYTERIAN MARRIAGES. Lord ELIOT presented a petition from the county of Antrim, praying for a legislative measure, regulating Presbyterian marriages. IRISH POPULATION RETURNS. Dr. BOWRING asked the Noble Lord, the Secretary of State for Ireland, when the Irish Population Returns would be laid upon the table of the House. Lord ELIOT said the returns were in a very forward state, but he did not know when they would be laid upon the table of the House; he would, however, make in quiry, and inform the Hon. Gentleman on Monday next. Lord J. STUART presented a petition from Ayr, for the repeal of the Corn -laws. Mr. FOX MAULE presented a similar petition from Perth, signed by 3,600 persons.

GRAHAM, the Apprentices' Regulation Bill, and the Debtors' Prisons Bill, were each read a second time. Sir GEORGE CLERK moved that the House at its rising should adjourn till Monday next.—Agreed to. RETURNING OFFICERS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said that he had that morning received a letter from a gentleman in Preslon, stating that much dissatisfaction had been created in the Bo rough by the appointment of the Clerk to the Board of Guardians to be returning officer. His correspondent stated that those parties had a direct pecuniary interest in promoting contests ; and that temptations were held out to them to act partially from the nature of the situations which they filled. He (Mr. Duncombe) wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet opposite whether he could inform him if the same species of appointments were likely to be made in other towns ? Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Poor-law Commis sioners were of opinion that the Clerks to the Boards of Guardian's were on the whole the most eligible persons to fill the office of returning officers. He was himself of the same opinion, inasmuch as those parties were already discharging offices of trust, and were liable to dismissal if they should in any way misconduct them selves. He could not, therefore, see any objection to confer on them the appointment of returning officers. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS BILL. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the order of the day for the House going into Committee on this Bill, should be read for the purpoSe of being post poned till Tuesday next. Mr. DIVETT suggested that the postponement should be for a longer period. After a short discussion the motion was finally post poned till Friday next. Sir C. NAPIER gave notice that on Monday next he would move for a return of all the vessels which had arrived at Liverpool from America, from the Ist of January, 1841, to the Ist of January, 1842, stating the number of days occupied by the voyage.—(Laughter.) Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL begged to ask the Right lion. Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government, when he would bring forward his proposal with regard to the importation of foreign cattle ? Sir B. PEEL said it would be included in the arrange ments with respect to the Tariff, and would be stated at the same time as the other parts of the measure. Sir ANDREW LEITH HAY postponed his motion for calling the attention of the House to the present state of the Church of Scotland, until Friday next. THE CORN-LAWS. On the motion for the House going into Committee on the laws regulating the importation of foreign corn, Mr. CHRISTOPHER said he rose in pursuance of the notice which he had given, to move the substi tution of 'the scale which he held in his hand for that which had been recommended and proposed by his Right Hon. Friend the First Lord of the Trea sury. He would best consult his own inclinations, and the convenience of the Committee, by restrict ing his observations entirely to the House itself. It had now been declared by an overwhelming majority of that House that it was expedient to afford protection to the agricultural interest, and in proposing the scale, therefore, which he held in his hand, he would avoid saying anything which might lead to a general debate as to the expediency, or inexpediency of the law. He would infinitely have preferred to bring forward his motion when the Bill had passed through a second reading, but he had been informed that the present stage was the only one in which it would be open to him to propose a higher scale of duty, than that which had been proposed by . the Government. His, Right Hon. Friend, in introducing the measure, had stated, and stated truly, that it was difficult to consider what scale of duties ought to be levied on the importation of foreign corn, without at the sane time taking . into account the question of averages. It would give security against fictitious sales ; still he (Mr. Christopher) would endeavour to post pone any observations he should have to make in detail, until the Bill came under the consideration of the House in Committee. He was willing to admit the scale proposed by his Right Honourable Friend was, in some respects a very considerable improvement ; the gra dual operation of that scale would be a very great improvement, but lie thought he would be able to show, if the House could at all judge from past experience, that the scale would not afford a sutfioient protection to the grower of corn in this country in those periods when protection is particularly required, not when there is an abundant harvest, but when there is an average harvest, when the producer, with all his skill and industry, is barely receiving a remu nerating price for his corn. lie also agreed in opi nion with his Right Honourable Friend (Sir Robert Peel) that it was a very difficult matter to say what at all times, and in all seasons, and under all circum stances, ought to be sufficiently remunerating prices, for the producer of wheat ; indeed, - it would be im possible to arrive at any satisfactory conclusion without at the same time taking into consideration the relative value of the produce of other agri cultural countries. He thought he could safely say that no one would accuse him of making exaggerated statements.—(Hear, hear.) On the contrary, lie believed he would get credit for making the most moderate representations. Now from all the information he was able to obtain, he was able to state, by calculations which he had made, that when the price of wheat was 565. a quarter, barley ought to be 30s. a quarter, oats ought to be 235. a quarter, and rye 28s. It was, no doubt, a difficult matter to say, under all cir cumstances and at all times, what are those seasons which are adverse to agriculture. It was difficult also to say what ought to be, under all circumstances, the rate of freight and other charges incurred in bringing agriculture to maturity. He made it his business to inquire into these statements from private sources, but the informa tion he had received was so various and so extremely con tradictory that he would not venture to bring it under the consideration of the House ; however he would say that from all the information he had received, be was fully convinced that her Majesty's Ministers in le gislating upon this important matter were guided by the interest and opinions of the people. All the informa tion he had received upon the subject convinced him that his Right Honourable Friend (Sir Ro bert Peel) had formed far too high an estimate of continental . prices. If he were to judge of the prices at which foreign corn had been sold in bond for the last fourteen years, he (Mr. Christopher) should arrive at a- different conclusion ; but he would be un willing to ground his arguments entirely upon th prices at which foreign corn had been sold during that period. He would then repeat what he: had already stated before his constituency, namely that wheat should be given to the consumer at the lowest possible rate of price it could be produced. He contended that the maximum duty ought not to be less than 255. He did not choose to rely exclusively on any information which he might have himself re ceived as t o th e pr i ce o f w h eat in bond during the last two years ; but he had received a com munication from a very eminent ~merchant of Hull, who had been engaged in the corn trade for forty years. He applied to him to be informed what were the lowest prices at which, under his own observa tion, wheat had been sold in . bond duriug the last two years. He did not melt' to rely exclusively on this document, but he thought it would prove satis factorily at what prices bonded wheat could-be sold, and would prove that there was nothing prohibitory in the scale recommended to this House. He found that in the year 1832 the lowest price of wheat sold in bond at Hull was 325. a quartet., and the highest 41s. In 1834, 1,589 quarters were s old",at the low price o f f rom 16s. to 30s. a qua rter. In 1835 tL'e price varied from 16s. and 175., as far as 265. 6d. In A 836, it varied from I 75., up to as high as 38s. In 1831, wheat was sold at the lowest price, 275. 6d. a quarter, a,-id at the highest 395. Now, he did not mean to say jhat, under pe euliar circumstances, it might not hare been necessary to admit corn duty free.-(Hear, hear.) But the test he appli e d to the scale of his Right Hon. Friend was this ; s u pp os i ng that scale had been the law of the land during the last fourteen years, and if he (Mr. C.) could show the Committee that under its operation the producer of corn in this country would have been under sold in his own m ar k et, when pr i ces ranged between 50s. and 558 , he th oug h t h e was ent i t l e d to ask the Government to reconsider the measure ; and considering also that the Committee had al ready sanctioned the principle of protection, he thought he was entitled to ask them for that protection %%lien pfices varied from 50s. to 568.-(Hear, hear.) He would admit that, when the price was under 505., the consequences which accompanied that were not caused by the unusual competition from abroad, but by the abundant harvest at home ; and if we judged from past experience it would appear that the. maxi mum duty of 20s. was a sufficient protection when the price was under 505., but that it was not sufficient when the price ranged between 50s. and 556., and he could conceive nothing more injurious to the agriculturist, more likely to damage him, in the outlay of capital and superior cultivation of the soil, than to think when he barely received a remunerating profit for his industry, that under these eircein stances he was undersold in the home market by foreign competitors. He had stated that when prices were under 50s. a maximum duty of 20s. would he sufficient, and he begged leave now, in order to prove this, to .refer the Committee to the return which was pre sented to that House on the 30th of March, 1840, •by the Hon. Baronet who represented the Western division of the county of Cornwall. In this return would be found a report of the highest and lowest wjekly averages of wh ea t, an d th e diff erence p er cen t. in certain ports of Europe. Now he would take the lowest average in each of these years in Eng land. He would then set against that the lowest prices in certain places on the Continent. He would add a certain sum for freight, and would apply in the firSt instance the maximum duty of 20s. which was pro posed by the Right Hon. Baronet, the First Lord of the Treasury. while the price was under 50s. ; he would then apply the same test to those years in which the. price ranged above 505., and he could prove that, when the prices ranged between 50s. and 555., in almost every case the home grower would not have been able to compete with the foreigner. Now, lie would take four of these years, from 1829 to 1333, during which the lowest price was under 50s. In England, in 1833, the lowest average was 495., the average price at Dantzic 255. 4d., at Hamburgh 235. 2d., at Odessa 19s. In. 1834, the lowest aVerttge price in England was 40s. 10d.; at Dantzic, 235. 2d.; at Hamburgh, 235. 3d.; at Odessa, 21s. 6d. In 1835, in England the price was 365. ; Dantzic, 20s. loci. 1 Hamburg!), 20s. 9d., and Odessa, 16s. In 1836, the average price in England was 365. Datitzic, 21s. 10d. ; Hamburgh, 21s. hi. ; Odessa, 16s. Now as he had stated before the question arose as to what ought to be the rate of duly. Ile had been informed on good authority that Threign wheat could be brought into Hull at as low a keight as 10d. per quarter. He had it from good au thority that foreign wheat from Hamburgh bad been brought into Gainsborough for Is. Gd. a quarter. lie had it also from good authority that foreign wheat had been brought into the market at Wakefield, and put into the warehouse for 3s. a quarter. But he could show that ss. was a fair freight from the-,- Baltic, and 10s. for other charges frOm • Odessa. • He admitted that in the years he had quoted, a maximum duty of 20s. was barely sufficient pro tection. Yet it was a protection, and in that respect he should be satisfied. Now he found, according to this, that wheat could be introduced at 495. from Memel, 555, 4d. from Dantzic, 48s. 2d. from Hamburg!), and from Odessa it would be under 495. In 1834 the price in England was 40s. Gd. Dantzic wheat could have been brought in at not less than 485., and Hamburgh at 48s. 2d. In 1835, the price in England was 365., while from Dantzic it would be 455., from Hamburgh 455. 5d., and from Odessa 465. In 1836 English wheat was 465., Dantzic 465. lOd., Hamburgh 465. ld., and Odessa 465. 2d. This decided ,so far in favour of the proposal by the Right Honourable Baronet, the First Lord of the Trea sury. But let them take those six years, when the price in this country ranged between 50s. and 555., .and when the price frequently went up to 605., which price many well-informed agriculturists declared was as low a price as wheat ought to be grown at. Now he found that in the year 1835 the lowest six weeks' average was 555. 4d. in England, in Dantzic 30s. Bd. in Hamburgh 31s. 7d., and from Odessa there was no re turn. But in 1830 the average price in England was 555. ; Dantzie, 295.; Hamburgh, 275. Bd.; and Odessa, 16s. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read various statistical details, but in a tone which made him very imperfectly heard in the Gallery, for the purpose of showing that, during the last ten years, wheat might have been imported into this country from Dantzic, Memel, Hamburgh, and Odessa, at prices varying front 40s. to 47e. a quarter. But he did think that the House, while legislating upon a subject of such vast importance, and upon which there was such a conflict of opinions, should not proceed upon any speculative conclusion. Ile did not doubt but Mr . . Meek had discharged most ably and conscientiously the task imposed upon him ; but in a question of this nature, they should take into their account the great interests involved ; and they should remember that by dis couraging agriculture, they would throw the poorer lands in. this country out of cultivation. Agricultural capital could not be removed to other countries. It could not be said that the farmer owed no allegiance to the soil of England ; and he could not, like the rnilloc remove his property to foreign lands. Taking the whole of this part of the subject into consideration, he entreated the Committee to pause before they sanctioned a scale of duties which would have the effect not only of throwing out of cultivation the poor soil of the country, but would materially injure both the agriculturist and the tnanuflicturer. He would, with the permission of the Committee proceed to show the fallacy of the scale proposed by the night lionouralle Baronet. He held in his hand the consular returns of continental prices, as far as they could be obtained accurately for six years ; he had taken 1834, 1835, 1836, 1837, 1838, and 1839 ; be had taken, therefore, three cheap years, one moderate year, and two dear years, and he had taken, not the lowest, but the average prices in England and those in Riga, Dantzic, Hamburgh, and Odessa. The average price of wheat for the last six years was 28s. 6d., and in England 535. Under those circum stances the effect of his Right Honourable Friend's scale r ould be that the British producer would rarely 'receive as much as 545. per quarter for his wheat, which was the price that the Right Hon. Bart. conceived he should be able to establish by his scale as the average price in this country. lie admitted, that if by establishing the, seals of the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir Robert Pet!), or, by agreeing to the proposal of the Noble Lord opposite, they could arrive at a permanent settlement of the question without injuring those who were dependent on agriculture for their support, he should be disposed to give his consent to the measure ; but when he con sidered how many persons were dependent upon agriculture, he was very unwilling to do any thing which might tend to interrupt their prosperity. He could imagine nothing more pernicious to the morals of the people than exposing men to the ten ptation of committiing depredations upon pro perty, without leaving them the means of regular employment. In the county which he had the honour to represent, the wages of labour were from 13s. to 15s. a-week, and he was satisfied that the labourers would prefer to have these high wages with high pricee of corn, than low prices of corn and low wages. There did not exist the same necessity for reducing the duty on barley that there did for reducing the duty on wheat.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Barley paid a high tax, and those soils on which barley was grown required the largest expenditure of ca pital, and the employment of the greatest amount of labour to make them productive. The subject was one requiring the gravest consideration. He was appre hensive that the proposed duty on wheat would nut be sufficient for protection, but he found the agricultural in terest would suffer in a still strongerdegree from the influx of foreign barley and oats under the proposed new scale. No person could suppose that he had taken an exagge rated view of the subject. On the contrary, after the decision of Parliament during the last Session, and. from what had taken place in both Houses, that it was the opinion of all parties that the time had come when it was necessary to revise the Corn-laws, he endeavoured to prepare his constituents for the change, and had incurred much odium. Having great confidence in the Right Hon. Baronet, and in the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, it was with great diffidence that he proposed his scale, but he believed it was essential to the prosperity of the agricultural interests of that country. He could assure the Right Ho nourable Baronet that he had endeavoured, on the part of those whom he represented, to give a calm consideration to the subject. The Hen. Member then concluded by moving the scale of which he had given notice. The motion having been read by the SPEAKER, Mr. BARING said, that though he would take that opportunity of agreeing with the Hon. Gentlemen who had just sat down in objecting to a 20s. duty, but on quite different grounds from those which guided the Hon. Member's opinion. He would also take the oppor tunity to enter on that part of the discussion which had appeared to him not to have been much alluded to during the late debates. He wished to call for some explana tion and information as to the sliding scale, on which they were called to vote ; he must also state his opi nion as to the mode in which the Hon. Gentleman had brought it forward, unsupported by one single word from his agricultural friends.—(Hear, hear.) And if he (Mr. Baring) had not continued the debate, as opposed to the Hon. Gentleman, there would not have been a single expression from all those Hon. Gen tle Men who committed themselves on the hustings — (Cheers)—to the principle of no surrender—(Cheers) —there had not been a single syllable uttered by them. He was sure .that the lion. Gentleman had proposed the motion in the manner lie thought the most at visable and the best, but he must say that the a gr ieu ta : tural interest was somewhat unfortunate in its represoottion tlves, as they had managed to bring forward the motion it. so that it was utterly impossible to take . a . y o o i t i e d u es P cribed They had heard something on a forme! but he by the rather fine sounding term " in lnore ' complete certainly never saw anything that h i n ' l a o .
