SHERIFF PARKINS AGAIN.—SLANDER.-- It is not long since we had occasion to notice the result of a suit for slander against Ex-Sheriff PARKINS, of London, which was instituted by a citizen of A.bany, and resulted in a verdict of heavy damages against the defendant. The same unruly member which caused its owner such consi derable disbursements, has more recently involved him in still further trouble. Another suit for slander, brought against him by Mrs. ISABELLA BARD, was terminated yesterday in the Circuit Court of the United States by a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum of six thousand five hundred dollars, damages and costs. The plaintiff was a widow lady of irreproachable character, and the mother of a large family; she kept a boarding house in Park-place, in which the defendant was, for some time, an inmate, and professed to take great interest in her welfare. Dis approving, however, of his management, she intrusted to others some business that she bad previously confided to him. Taking offence, he left her house, and uttered expressions, at various times, derogatory to her moral cha. rat ter, and injurious to the reputation of , her house. To vindicate her fame from these aspersions the plaintiff appealed to a court of justice, with the results we have stated. In the course of the trial the Ex-Sheriff was so restive that his Counsel, Mr. STAPLES, informed the Court that he must abandon the cause, unless his client was ordered by the Grua to conduct himself with more propriety. The defendant promised not to interfere again ; but, after the testimony was concluded, he expressed an anxious desire to argue his own cause to the jury. This was granted by the Judge on the ground that he was a foreigner, unacquainted with our institutions—and lest an impression might get abroad, unfavourable to the liberality of our courts of justice, this liberty was permitted to him which would have been denied to one of our citizens. He, accordingly, summed up the case by a speech of two hours and a half, in which his range of remark teas often very wide of the issue. THE CRIsIs OF NEGRO EMANCIPATION. --The was formed Committee i n of this town the A S in the n Anti-Slavery e o r Society, of last which year, held special meeting on Monday, 6th inst. to deliberate on such measures as it might be deemed expedient to adopt in the great emergency which has arisen in the progress of this important question. Our esteemed representative, THOMAS NIARSLAND, Esq., with an honourable adherence to those principles which, when a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow-townsmen, he avowed on this subject, attended the meeting, and presided. It was resolved to edll in. stantly upon the inhabitants of Stockport to unite at this important juncture in petitio ns to the Legislature, and thus to strengthen the hands o f his Majesty's Ministers, who have undertaken the " safe end satisfactory" settle ment of this anxious question. Two gentlemen also were appointed to proceed to London, in conce rt with similar deputations from other parts of the country, to declare to the Colonial Minist e r, the feelings of their respective neighbourhoods in favour of the immediate abolition of a system which they regard as the greatest of existing abuses. A subscription was opened in aid of the funds of the society ; JAMES HEALD, Esq., with his wonted libe• rality, presented a donation of 201.—.Stockport Advertiser. Our first care landing had been to negotiate for horses to convey ourselves and our baggage to Nauplia. We were quietly eating our breakfast, in exp ec t a ti on o f their arrival, when a messenger came in breathless haste to announce that a party of irregular soldiers, or Albanese, as they are generally called, was coming down to pillage the place. We immediately re-shipped all our baggage, and, having prepared our arms, awaited the arrival of these formidable brigands. In the meantime, the news had spread the utmost terror and confusion through all the inhabitants of Epidaurus. The women and children crowded around us, weeping, screaming, wringing their hands, exhibiting in every gesture the most abject despair, and imploring us with mote than Irish volubility, to take them on board our caique, which was the only vessel in the harbour. Some of them looked like demoniacs in the frenzy of their terror. To comply with their demand was of course impossible, for our boat was a very small one, and we might he obliged to have recourse to it for our own safety. We told them, however, that if they wished to put any of their valuables on board, we would take them under our protection. Accordingly, the men brought their arms, pistols, muskets, and yataghans, and in such quantities, that we could not help asking why they did not retain them, and use them for their own de fence, instead of submitting to be pillaged and abused by a body of ruffs ens, who probably were not equal to them selves in numerical amount ? "We dare not resist," they replied ; " we might drive them away to-day, but' they would return to-morrow with greater force, and our fate would be worse than ever." We said 01l we could to rouse them to a vigorous resistance, but our persuasions were unavailing ; their spirit seemed completely broken by a long course of suffering and oppression ; they had been scourged and trodden into passive abjectness. The Albanese soon appeared. They were, as I had conjectured, a straggling party, without pay, and without leader, and subsisting entirely on pillage. The whole of Greece is overrun with similar bands. A more squalid, ferocious, ruffian-looking set of men I never beheld. They were filthy in the extreme ; their dress was torn and ragged, and their coutenances denoted long endured fa mine and hardships. They all carried two_ enormous pistols and a yataghan in their belts, and a long gun over their shoulders. They saw at once that they had no re sistance to encounter, to set about their errand vigorously, seizing every thing in the way of food or ammunition they could lay their hands on. The people, subdued to the cowardicia of silent indignation, stood quietly by, watching the seizure of their stores without venturing even a re monstrance. I was equally disgusted with the dastardly endurance of the one party, and the brutal oppression of the other. The brigands, after rifling every house, ex cept the one in which we had established ourselves, began to least upon their spoils. They were soon intoxi cated, and their brutality then became unbridled. Their conduct was that of utter barbarians. They insulted all the women who had been foolish enough to remain in the village, and the men did not dare to interfere. I could bear the scene no longer, and strolled towards one of the remoter houses, when a loud scream arrested my attention, and a young woman, with a babe in her arms., rushed out of the door, pursued by one of the Albanese. My indiota tion had before wanted but little to make it overflow; so, looking this way and that way, like Moses when he slew the Egyptian, I rushed after the inebriated ruffian, and brought him to the ground by a blow with the butt-end of my carbine. He fell with great violence, and lay for some minutes insensible. I took his pistols and yataghan, and threw them into a marsh close by, and then went up to the poor woman, who was terrified to death, and led her to a thicket of thorn trees, where she was not likely to be discovered. Here we remained till nightfall, when we ventured from our hiding-places, and found that the Albanese had retired, and were probably gone to repeat the same scene at some other village. The next morning we procured three horses for our baggage, and proceeded to Nauplia on foot, passing two other bands of brigands on our way, with one of whom we narrowly escaped a fatal quarrel. These bloodhounds swarm in every part of Greece, and till they are utterly extirpated there will be neither security nor peace. It is to be hoped that this will be one of the first treasures of the new government. HATTON- GARDEN.--Yesterday GEORGE DAVIS, charged with the wilful murder of THOMAS COOPER, was re-examined, and fully committed to New gate for trial. THE ARMS OF NAPOLEON. — We an nouneed t;trine time aeo the opinions of eminent counsel that the arms of NAPOLEON, bequeathed by him to his' son, and reserved in trust, to be delivered to him at period fixed by the ex-Emperor, became, by the death of the Duke de REICHSTADT, the property of France. This opinion has since been confirmed by the adhesion of nu. merous members of the bar, all of whom agreed that the Archduchess MARIA Louisa could have no claims to them whatever. The question which remained undeci ed, seems now to be set at rest, in conformity to the counsels' opinion, by the following letter, addressed by the eldest brother of the late Emperor to the gentle men who signed the opinion :—" London, April 28, 1833.—Gentlemen,--Your opinion on the arms of the Emperor NAPOLEON appear to me decisions which cannot be invalidated by the public or by the tribunals. Let these arms be appended, by General BERTRAND, to the national column, and confided to the protection of the people of Paris ; he who received them from NAPOLEON with his list bre ttb, cannot betray his wishes, by delivering them into the hands of enemies, of whatever country they may be. Let us not demand more at the present moment; when the exile and disper sion of the family of NAPOLEON still exist, ought not this column to receive his ashes ? Should not its summit be adorned with his statue? The nation will show itself just when it shall have become itself by the destruction of the treaties of 1815, which maintain the an ti-national system imposed upon it by a few men who have formed a wrong opinion of the public wishes. As to the family of NAPOLEON, whatever may be said to the contrary by crafty enemies, they have no other pretension than that of serving their country. Their only right, as that of all who are oppressed, consists in raising their voices against the oppressors who exclude them from their native country. Accept, &c. JOSEPH NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." WORKS TO BE EXECUTED IN THE GAR DEN IN THE ➢fONTH OF MAY.—As asparagus will now be fit for cutting—my first observation shall relate to the most . approved method of performing this, which is not so simple as may be generally supposed. If you have ever examined the crown of the plant in the budding season, you will have remarked that, besides the fine shoot you are abut to cut off, there are many others in various stages of their growth under the surface—•and it in cut ting the one you maim any of the rest, you destroy those shoots, and may materially injure the crown itself. Now, on the continent, where they are very careful gardeners, they male use of an implement for this special purpose, not unlike a locksaw, but narrower, longer, and finer ; the blade being about eight inches in length, one inch wide at the haft, and terminating in half a❑ inch at the point, which is rounded, and the blade, instead of being sharp, has a fine serrated edge. The rounded point, when sunk gently, will not injure the starting buds, and the serrated edge will not slip, but merely cut the stem to which it is applied. I have another hint or two for you also, unless where you are like me, very impatient, and mean, according to my former suggestion, to sac, ifice a few beds for an early cutting :—I would wish you to observe this rule ; don't be tempted to. cut the largest shoots—in the third season from making a successful plantation ; from each crown, four shoots may probrsbiy appear at the same time, two of them perhaps large, and two small ; be con tent with one large and one small one, leaving the others, and especially the strong one, which is the best calculated to supply the returning sap, in abundance, to the increasing root. One word snore—let no avarice or economy, or limitation of garden soil, induce you to sow or plant any other crop on your beds, or in your alleys. I have seen a square of asparagus beds trampled into a flag, by a lazy gardener, or his lazy labourer, crossing the beds day after day, to cut a crop of cauliflowers from the intermediate alleys.—Carrots, parsnips, and onions you must now look to, and clear perfectly from weeds. I gave you a smart lecture upon thi:, subject in the last month, if you attend to it well, but don't neglect your operations to the same effect in this month also ; and mind that you stake your peas neatly, sad earth up your growing crops which a re in rows, and if the weather be dry, don't forget the water ing pot ; and persecute the slugs and snails, and now we shall see what is to be dune in your nest naontb.—Doyles's Practical Gardening. GREAT HAVOC AMONG SHEEP.—Thurs day night, the 2d of May, the sheep folds of GEORG! , WEBB HALL, Esq., of Sneed-park, near Bristol, were entered by two dogs, which had been engaged in the work of destruction, it appeared, a considerable time. When the remains of the flock were inspected in the morning, there were found 26 sheep and lambs killed, 36 severely wounded, and upwards of 200 worried and injured from fright, &c. The damage done was upwards of 5001. The dogs were sporting dogs.--Bath Journal. FACTORIES COMMISSION.—We have been favoured with the following extract from documents furnished to the commissioners in the above inquiry, which we publish because it will give some idea of the importance of the cotton trade to this town. Thirty-six master spinners and manufacturers employ in their mills 11,444 workpeople, whose wages amount to 6,6391. Bs. 101. weekly ; of these 320 are betwixt 9 to 10 years of age, 384 betwixt 10 and 11, '7lO betwixt 11 and 12, 2,923 betwixt 12 and 18, and 7,101 upwards of 18 years of age. Many mills are not included because no returns have been made.—Stockport Advertiser. Several meetings took place yesterday in various parishes in Westminster and Alarylebone, on the subject of the assessed taxes, for the purpose of organizing measures for obtaining the entire abolition of the above unequal and oppressive imposts. Several brokers at tended in all instances, and declared their determination to co-operate with their neighbours in the object proposed by the committees of the combined parochial association. Three noted informers paid a kind visit of in quiry to the inhabitants of Windsor by one of Thursday morning's coaches. They had scarcely set foot on terra firma, however, before their advent was proclaimed in various quarters, and it was soon agreed to get up a practi cal joke at their expense. For this purpose some persons adroitly man iged to cultivate their acquaintance, and then plied them with copious libations until they became reeling drunk. In this state their faces were most scientifically painted with red-ochre, while their delicate persons were first smeared with stale yeast, and then rolled in the dust until they had attained a considerable incrustation of mud. In this grotesque fashion, they were marched in all due state, to the parish pump, for the purpose of having their bodies purified by ablution ; but as the last scene of this serio-comic drama was about to be performed, in stepped the parochial authorities, and rescued the poor devils out of the hands of their tormentors, and, to the satisfaction of all parties, they soon after escorted them out of the town.— Windsor Express. Monday evening an inquest was holden at the Town-house, in the Mile-end-road, before Mr BAKER, on view of the body of MARIA OWEN, a fine young woman, 22 years of age. From the evidence it ap peared, that the deceased had been courted for nearly three years by a young man, a sailor, and they were to have been married un his return from the East Indies. In the early part of last week, she received an account of the death of her lover, on his homeward passage, of yellow fever. This circumstance preyed heavily on her mind, and from the first moment of hsr hearing the news, there was a most marked difference in her manner. On Friday afternoon she left the house of her fither, and in a short time afterwards her bi,dv was taken out of the Regent's Canal, ne ir the Globe Bridge. It was the belief of the Coroner and Jury, that the unfortunate deceased had thrown herself into the water, but there being no evidence of the fact, they returned a verdict of " Found drowned." DISTRESSINGCIRCUMSTANCE.-A respect. able clergyman of Exeter, who has for some years past been suffering, both mentally and pecuniarily, from the depredations of an unprincipled and abandoned son, has had his cup of bitterness suddenly filled to the brim, in a manner so exceedingly painful as to resemble rather the catastrophe of some work of fiction than the incidents of ptivate life. His son was tried at the late Somerset As sizes, at which he was convicted of burglary, and sentenced to transportation for 14 years. His mother left Exeter a few days ago for Plymouth, to take her last farewell of the boy, who had, for a long time past, embittered every moment of her exis , ence. She saw him, took leave of him, and the day following was placed beyond the power of grieving over his trangressions. She died. The unfortu nate father, embarrassed by the repeated demands on his finances by the long-continued career of guilt of his son, was arrested soon after the departure of his wife, and the intelligence of her death reached him in prison. A few friends, commiserating his unfortunate condition, raised a subscription to pay his obdurate creditor, and the worthy but unhappy gentleman was allowed to depart for Ply mouth, and pay the last mournful obsequies over his broken-hearted partner. LOVE-A-LA-MODE ON THE HIGH SEAS.- On the quays of such a harbour as Greenock, where ships arrive from, and depart for, all quarters of the globe, scenes the most romantic and affecting are of daily occur rence. The bright and joyful countenances of newly met, but long divided, friends and relatives, and the briny tear, the throbbing heart, and " the long and last adieu" of those who are about to part—perhaps for ever—often e use the bystander to " feel the keenest sympathy, and drop a kindred tear." Next to the separation in death is the separation of the exile or the emigrant from " friends, and home, and native land," prepared and resolved, if possible, never to return. The last embrace of such a one is like the death-grasp of the dying ; and it is only those who possess the firmest nerve that can witness such scenes and remain unmoved. With many who are spe cially concerned the case is often worse than death. A few days ago the good old ship Jamaica, sailed for Mon tego Bay, her second voyage this season. In October last she left Greenock with goods and passengers for Ja maica. After being at sea nearly two days, one of the crew had occasion to descend to the hold in search of something, when he discovered a young lady concealed among some I:amber. Surprised at such a discovery, he immediately gave intimation to Captain HYNDMAN, who shrewdly suspected that she would be an attache of one of the male steerage passengers, a Mr. ARCHIBALD ..- Consequently, all was now excitation on the quarter-deck, and Mr. CAMP➢ELL, first mate, was ordered to take the supposed lover with him (on some other pretence), to assist in removing the young lady from her hiding place. He unwittingly consented, when, on a light being placed at the entrance of the recess, a deep-drawn sigh was heard, and a female voice exclaiming—" 0 Axcnv, ARCHY !" Sod] an unsuspected discovery so completely " ARCHY," that he lost the whole of his five senses at once, and became utterly unable to assist in re moving the love•born maid, whose limbs had become be numbed by the crammed posture in which she had been so long concealed. She was taken to the cabin, where every attention was paid to her by Captain HYNDMAN and Mr. CAMPBELL ; and after presenting her with a little money, which, in the hurry of embarkatio❑ she completely forgot to bring with her, the ship Lore in upon the south point of the Isle of Arran, and a boat put off to the shore with the luckless maid. On re-ernf arking, she gazed wisttully on " ARCEIY," as if humming to her self— " Look kindly or cauldly, but bid me no lea' th..e;" She WAS put on shore onKildonnon Point, many a long league from her father's house. It may be added that the young lady Was a daughter of a gallant Colonel not a hundred miles from the head of Loehfine.—. Glasgow Courier. lition of slavery and the repeal of the corn laws. Lord SUFFIELD presented 201 petitions for the total and immediate abolition of slavery. The Noble - Lord said that he should not make any observation upon the plan put forth in the newspapers as the one about to be lid befoJe the House of CoMmons, till it had been pro pounded by the Secretary 6f the Colonies ; he should con tent himself with merely protesting against the plan. The Noble Lord presented the petition of 179,576 females of Great Britain, which had been signed in three days, for the abolition of slavery ; also petitions from the female in habitants of Edinburgh, signed by 13,500, and from the female inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The Archbishop of YORK presented numerous peti tions for the better observance of the Sabbath. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented a number of petitions for the abolition of slavery. The Bishop of LLANDAFF presented a petition from his diocese for the better observance of the Sabbath. CORN LAWS. The order of the day having been read, Earl FITZWILLIAM rose to submit to their Lord ships' consideration a great, and, in his mind, a most im portant subject. Their Lordships would no doubt think that much apology was due from one who had been so re cently introduced among their ranks, for presuming so early to submit such an important question. Their Lordships might be assured that he would not have so presumed if there did not press upon his mind a conviction the most solemn, that the question was one which was not now settled, and was one upon which both Houses of Parliament should come to an adjustment, which would lead to the happiness and prosperity of all classes of his Majesty's subjects, and to which all classes of his Majesty's subjects would consent. He remembered the last time this question was discussed in the other House of Parliament. He remembered that upon that occasion it was introduced to the notice of that House by an Honourable Gentleman who was now the representative of the county of Middlesex. He remembered well, to which he was desirous of calling the attention of the House, not so much the arguments of that Honourable Gentleman, as the course which was taken in resisting the propositions now made. The office which called upon its holder to answer those propositions was then filled by a gentleman who had now been rained to an Irish Peerage, which had removed him from that House, without giving him a seat in theirs. He recollected that on that occasion, in the whole course of his speech, he never presumed to defend the law as it at present stood, though at that time it had been in force only one year. What was the inference which was to be drawn from that abstinence ? It must be this—that he found it necessary not to draw the attention of the House to the law, but to point out imperfections in the statement of his opponent, and thus appear to give him an unsuccessful answer. He remembered well, too, the speech then delivered by his Noble Friend, now Lord Privy Seal. The Noble Earl then read several extracts from the speech made by the Earl of Ripon (then Mr. Robinson) on the introduction of the Corn Bill in 1815, to show that restriction in the corn trade was not then new. He did not, however, state that such was the principle of the Bill in the expectation that any of their Lordships would contradict him, but merely to show how far the principle of that Bill differel from many of the measures that had since been introduced. Thepresent Bill was passed in 1828, and was almost a counterpart of that proposed by Mr. Canning in 1827. This one was introduced by his Right Hon. Friend, Mr. Grant, now President of the Board of Control. He then said that the resolutions were an introduction to some thing better. But in one point of view they were to be permanent—as far as the Legislature was concerned, they were to be permanent until the minds of men were prepared to entertain better notions on the subject. Thus he had the high authority of Mr. Grant, to show that the resolutions on which the present Bill was framed, did not form the best basis that could be devised. In mooting that question at the presents moment, he was sorry that he was obliged to do so against the opinion of the two highest authorities in that House, for both of whom he had the highest respect. --(Hear, hear.) It was not a question which was now creating much anxiety in the country, he was aware, and it might be said, why then bring it forward at present? But it was a question that could not be finally adjudicated upon without various and re peated discussions. But if he was asked, what time was the most proper for bringing it on, he would say the present, because in the absence of agitation in the country, men's minds were more prepared to enter into a calm discussion on the subject. He was afraid of offending some of their Lordships unintentionally, but he would ask, what was the object of the corn laws ? It was the opi• nien of his Noble Friend near him (Lord 'Western), that the country should be cultivated—(Hear)--and the people fed.—(Hear.) He wished the people to be fed, but had their Lordships examined into that question ? Had they looked into, and minutely examined the various papers which were on the table connected with that sub. ject ? If there was any thing in that answer, it was, that the Corn Bill procured an independent supply of corn to the country. But he would ask their Lord- ships what bad been the imports during the time the present Bill had been in existence ? There was no independent supply of corn, and there never could again be one in this country.—(Hear, hear.) He must say that the Bill was nothing more than to make a modified scarcity of corn, and decrease the population. No man could say that the agricultural interest had prospered since the year 1815, and yet from 1815 the corn laws so much lauded were in full operation up to the time when their substitute, the present law was introduced.—(Hear, hear.) The present law was certainly an improvement upon its predecessor, but it was based upon the same principle, viz., the principle of restriction, which he had already referred to as intended to have more or less the effect of raising the price of corn in this country above the level of the price in the other countries of Europe, There were two classes of persons, independently of land owners, who had a great interest in this question. In the first place, there was the farming interest, and in the next, there was the general consumer, the pnblic at large, which did not grow corn. How did the law of 1815 operate upon the farmers a Foreign wheat was prohibited till the price rose to BQs., which led the farming interest throughout the country tq believe that Bos. or about 80s. was thereafter to be the price they should al ways be able to command. Rents were proposed and offered upon that assumption, and yet we 6nd that a year or two after the law came into ope ration, the price was below forty shillings.—(Hear.) raer It was a law adverse to the very nature of things, and never which was never carried successfully into effect. There soseverely as in the y was a period in wliich the argsriic9u2ltnl aind intel B22. rests suffered That showed that the law was not good for either the farmer or the landlord, for the landlord was obliged e 4 es" to impose a rent upon his tenant, which the lat• ter could not pay. At length parliament appeared to grow more enlightened t a.,:d x in 1822, made an at tempt to alter the s! . tstetn, but from c erta i n cont i ngenc i es mixed up with it, it was rendered abortive. He did not hold that opinion out of any respeq to the sliding scale of that Bill, but because it lowered the importation price. The first price of that scale was he believed 638., which bore the same relation to the Act of 1828 as the pike of 84e. bore to the law cf 1815. Had the law of 1828 wtrked dell to the agriculteral class? To that class the 4J/ 1/V et Ot e s -- --- ta' ae cY great object was steadiness of price.-(Hear, hear.) In his opinion it was neither high nor low price which the agriculturiste wanted so much as steadiness of price.- (Hear, hear.) The Noble Duke opposite (the Duke of Wellington) would probably argue that the Act of 1828 contribtoel to effect a steadiness of price, but he would show that was not the case. Steadiness- of price, it should he remembered, was in this instance required for the agriculturists, and be would examine that question not by the general average of prices in the general market, but by the prices of corn in what he might call markets of production. (A Noble Lord asked, what did the Noble Earl mean?) He would illustrate his meaning. Markets; he thought were of two kinds-markets of production, and markets of consumption. Devizes was a market of production. Wakefield a. market of consumption. To chow what he meant, he would take the average price of corn in some market of production, and not refer to the general averages. It was in such a market that prices ought to be steady, if this Act had worked well for the farmer. Vick Lordships all knew Stamford, which though not the greatest, was a very considerable market of production.-(Hear.) On October 30, 1827-that was before the Bill passed, 1828, the p r i ce was s s . NA& p e r bushel. ( b in ut j i ,i t a w ua o r u y ld ls se , rv e to show the working of the law-and On October 28, 1828, the average price was 9s. 1(4.1. ; thus there was a difference between 5e.101(1. and 9s. 101 d. On November 24, 1829, th e a verage pr i ce was 49 a. 104‘1, -while in March, 1629 (we believe ilia Lordship said), it was 6s. 101 d. In January, 1830. it was 61. 8i.1., and on January 15, 1831, it was 9s. 111 d., and in the Ja nuary following Sc. 2d., and in June (we believe) it had fallen to 60. 101(1. Nothing, then, could be more erro neous than to say that this system kept prices steady in the markets of production. In Maldon (we believe) which is a great corn market, the average price in September, 1827, was 445. 10d. pI. quarter; in March, 1829, 82% Bd. ; in March, 1830, 51s. ld. ; in September, 1830, 735. lid. From that it hail fallen down to 565. and Me. That showed that steadiness , of price had not been obtained by the Act, and he knew that it could not' be obtained by legislative enactment. He was aware of the influence of the seasons as well as other Noble Lords, and he therefore condemned those who wished to obtain that of legislative enactments which could nos be obtained. The Noble Earl then adverted to the influence of these laws on the consumers, observing, that their Lordships were not supposed to be peculiarly favourable to the commercial and manufacturing in terest, and entered at considerable length into the question of the influence of the corn laws over the wage* of labour, and the influence of high wages on our foreign commerce. He contended that high wages prevented l oge merchants and manufacturers from entering into successful competition with foreign nations. If this were a country which had no commercial intercourse with foreign nations, it would not matter what the price of corn might be. The great evil of the corn laws was, that they either lowered the condition of the labourer, or diminished the profits on stock. He remembered reading a very good answer Inado by a Noble Lord, a few weeks ago, to some parties at Worcester, who wanted him to form one of some associ ation ; but he said that he saw no reason for any conser vative club, for he always received his rents, and on rer,er e ring to the newspapers he invariably found that the 4 per. Cents. were very high. It perhaps did not occqr to that Noble Lord, that the high price of stock wria rule of thg great evils of the country, for it was founded upon a lower rate of profits. This had a great deal to do with the high rate at which houses were taxed, and indeed he believed, that if the small tradesman, with his one or two thousand pounds capital, were enabled to get a fair profit, there would be no more heard about the house and window taxes, To a min of large capital, the reduction of his profits dq not make so much difference. He is not ruined by having his profits reduced from 900/. to 3001. a year, fur he can live upon that ; but a man whose 300/. a year is reduced to 30/. is a lost man. The greatness of the capital made all the difference. Adam Smith was of opinion that the lowness of profit on stock in Holland was owing to the enormous capital in that country. yet-, depression of every thing i n thi s c ountry was owing 0, tint high rate of taxation, and the corn laws were al much r.., part of that taxation as the house and window, or ER; other taxes ; and what were the effaces of this tax ? Why, that of raising the price of wheat 10a. a quarter, so that there being sixteen millions of quarters of wheat consumed in this country every year, there was at once a tax levied of 8,000,000/. sterling on the people. And 4 this were, as he believed, the case, in his opinion the landed interest was in reality stickling for a thing which, so far from being worth their while, was more likely to injure them. If Ministers, in the outset of the sesolon, had come down a n d p ropose d to ta k e o ff four mime, of this vexatious tax, not a gentleman would have re fused his consent to it, and the people would have beer, grateful for the relief, though the relief would have hem greater if the whole eight millions bad been taken off.-(A laugh.) The corn laws were not only a vexa- . tious direct tax, that they were a vexatious indirect to o o they operated, for instance, in making his Noble Friend there pay more for his white waistcoat-(A laugh),onet ,mlitiobeunobutars, butatho and et hw t a h te u at s vhe e er vr o y r thi c n made him pay more for his dinner and for everything else; for the high price of corn, of course, raised the price pi h i landholdersm became e ° ......we ( re A la a u s gh g ) o . : yf.Ewneg d el e pead er.

The Noble Lord at the head of the Alministta,l" tion bad undoubtedly taken off some amount of taxation -30 per cent. be was told by that Noble Peer. It might be so ; but, notwithstanding this, the tax on corn was at the rate of from 60 to 70 per cent.-(No, no.) Oh, yes, it was. The medium price of corn at Dantzic was 30s. a quarter-say 355. if they liked it better ; hut the present duty on wheat in England was, on an average, 335. a quarter ; and if they would go back to the Bill which they were discussing, they would find that an average price of 635. had been taken, which was at the rate of 235. on the quarter, and this was what they musta , at this rate, keep the duty on foreign corn at. But if •" ney the rate of duty up to 335.

He was one of those who even doubted the justice er policy of the protective duty of tbitty shillings, but he would not now go into that qqestion. What be would now express his dissent from was the principle that the people are to pay a higher tax for the importation of a raw material into this country than they pay npen any imported manufactured commodity ; and here it was well worthy of remark, that since the diminishing of the restrictions on silk, for instance, not only had the importations of silks increased, but we ourselves had added largely to the extent of our exporta tions. As to the effects of the Corn Bill, let their Lord ships look for instances to the counties of Cambridge. Sussex, Buckinghamshire, and they would find that :hi-, Hill had not effected the slightest increase cif ernplonnent in those counties any more than in others, and it would be moat idle to suppose that its effects ve.ould be any more beneficial in future, For hie own part, he believed that the landed interests were more oppressed by these duties than any other claret. He would draw their Lordships' attention to what had been invaria bly the effects in the rise in the trice of corn on the poor rates in all parts of the cOtasotty, anti these were very ex. traordinary and irnportout points for consideration. He Irew them from the very able report which bad been lately published. 'their Lordships would recollect that in the year 1816, one of the worst harvests had occurred ever known. In the month of June the price of corn bad risen to 1178. a quarter. The poor-rates fell in the few fol lowing years. The price of corn in 1819 was 94,,e. To estimate the effects of this sort of thing properly, one must not look to the same year, but to the subsequent one. lmt the three consecutive years the average price had been-in 1816, 755. 10d. ; in 1817, 955. 9d. ; in 1818, 841. 10d. , tia Now the poor rates in S u ssex in each subsequent year, reckoning them on the plan he had mentioned, wer , follow :-in the year after the first year, 280,0001. ; in the second, 3.90,000/. ; and in the third they fell to, of poor rates was in exact ratio with the previous price o 314,0001. ; so the House would perceive that the amount eorn. The same proportion prevailed throughout the country. When the price of corn was high, there ine eitably ensued a higher amount of poor rate, and he was confident that the effect of the corn laws would 'lever be more beneficial than they had hitherto been found. He was sure that there was no opening for the further em ployment of the poor except in the extension of manufac urea and commerce. He must say, though he might be, and hoped he was, mistaken, that be thought the House did not take so much care of these interests as was exhia kited in another place, where were those who wereeper sonally more mixed up with them. But be . entreated their Lordships never to consent to any Act which might he oe hurtful to those leading interests of the h o mt country,l these could at the same time impress u of ad in iroti on -eh; country ought to have is in.!! point he would refer of Bern, and on this corn laws were eminently i n jur b i e ot . i t s:: llbe i : en n it s :::: t hat and thundant supply their Lordships, with the but Al ~ Lower , oi a speech 1815 (Mr. Elliott) who felt us stronly on the House in delivered by an Hon.
