ATTACK NEAR MACAO. A day or two ago, considerable sensation was excited in Canton, by a report that two gentlemen had been attacked by some Chinese in the immediate vicinity of Macao, and that they had been very severely treated. The particulars of the case, as we gather them, are as follow : Mr. Lindsay, of the Hon. Company's factory, in com pany with a gentleman lately arrived in China on account of his health, had been snipe shooting on an island called the Lappa, and were quietly returning home, without having had any quarrel or given cause of offence to any one. When within about a quarter of a mile of their boat— they having before observed that they were followed by se veral suspicious-looking men, three of the number advanced, and commenced abusing a Chinese coolie who attended the two gentlemen. Mr. Lindsay addressed them, in Chinese, asking what they meant, no molestation being offered to them. The answer was made by drawing out from their sleeves short heavy carpenter's axes and bludgeons, which, till then, they had concealed. From this it would appear as though the attach were a premeditated one, and Mr. Lindsay, no doubt thinking it such, pointed his gun at the nearest man, threatening to shoot him if he advanced; but be seemed too well aware that such threats in China cannot he executed, and struck Mr. Lindsay a severe blow on the face with a bludgeon, he in vain trying to defend himself with the butt end of his gun, with which he then attempted to knock down his assailant : the stuck broke over the man's arm, and when thus defenceless, the Chinaman rushed in and struck him, with a hatchet, so severe a blow on the face as to cut him completely through the lip and cheek, and break several back teeth : another one with a bludgeon also struck him on the head so as nearly to stun him ; and, in that condition, took his gun, and some other things. The whole of this occupied haraly a minute ; and Mr. Lindsay's companion who had been, when they fray be gan, at some distance, being seen hurrying to his assist ance, the assailants ran to attack him. One of them aimed a blow at him with a la-ge hatchet, and, had this taken effect, it would most probably have proved fatal ; but, in the act of striking with the butt end of his gun, he lost his balance and fell ; his gun was then seized, and the men ran away. After waiting till partially recovered ram the blows, the gentlemen walked to their boat. The Chinese who attended them did not assist during the affray, and only once interfered, calling to his coun trymen not to strike one of the gentlemen after he was disarmed. We are happy to have it in our power to state that, al though severely hurt, and still suffering from the effects of the blows, no fears need be entertained for Mr. Lindsay, who will, however, bear for life the marks of the indig nity and violence which he has suffered. We understand that the chief of the British Factory on learning the circumstances, immediately forwarded a statement of them to the Tootang and Keun-min-foo, to tether with a demand for redress. Of the attainment of 'his we are, however, by no means sanguine, such being the strange state to which foreigners are reduced, that none can, even with arms in their hands, venture to defend their own lives ; or, even after the forbearance displayed by vese gentlemen in not discharging their fowling pieces at their ruffianly assailants, can they hope for more than a few civil words expressive of the regret of the local officer o whom the complaint is forwarded. It was but last month that we hail occasion to notice an attack on some gentlemen in front of the British Factory, not ten yards from its gates; and we are never long without some cause far regret—and, may we add, of disgust—at the state of helplessness in which we find ourselves. Not a month ago two English ladies, while at different times passing in their sedan chairs, were grossly insulted in the streets of Macao. The complaints preferred on these occasions were met exactly as we have above described : redress is out of the question. It may appear to such of our readers as are unacquainted with this country (or rather with that part of it to which foreigners are confined), that we lay too much stress on every little affray in which a foreigner is concerned. We are not querulous, but we cannot but feel, that it is only the impression on the minds of the Chinese, that we dare not use arms, which makes them so audacious ; it is not against the petty villains who attack for the purpose of plunder that we feel resentment, but against the Govern ment, whose barbarous policy abets and encourages such things ; it is not for a moment to he supposed that peaceful strangers should be thus attacked, in open day light, in the prtsence of numerous spectators, unless the parretrators of the crime were aware that they could do so with impunity. The consequences are to be dreaded. Impunity will beget offence. Can it be expected, that in every instance the aggrieved p irty will reason so coolly as to refrain from availing himself of the means in his power to defend his life, for which, if he were murdered, no redress could be obtained ? Had the Chinese in Mr. Lindsay's case met the fate which lie merited, at the hands of the gentle man whose life lie jeoparded, what would have been the re sult ? The (in such a case) monstrous doctrine of life for life would be insisted on, and nothing short of a re petition of the tragedy of the gunner of the " Hin dostan," or Francisco Terranova, would satisfy the Chinese. Though it were too great an insult to the foreign community to suppose, that at the present day this would, under any circumstances, be submitted to, such would, however, tee demanded, and, as a matter of course, stoppage of the trade won d ensue; the Chinese now looking on this as the spell which could, in the der nier resort bring the high spirited Englishman to uncon ditional submission. The remedy for all this is easy, but we fear, from the supineness with which our situation is viewed in England, that it will not ba applied, and it is at least probable that an appeal to arms may be the first means attempted to prove to this arrogant nation, that our strength exists, though it is withheld. Until this " con summation so devoutly to be wished" arrive, in some way or other, by negotiation or force, foreigners must be con tent to submit to whatever they may meet with ; and, if they feel sore on the occasion, they must console them selves with the reflection that, sooner or later, le bon !enips viendra. ... r.,...- i .:_..„.. . n;. : ko-.....,...

He would confine his observations to as small a compa-s as pogsible ; but he hoped that the House would feel that he was not justified in calling the atten tion of the House to the subject, unless he stated tie gaounds of his opinion for the necessity of some alteration in the corer laws. He would, however, consult the convenience of Hon. Members as much as he consistently could, and would endeavour to class I,is subjects under four heads. He would first, then consider the application of the present law as fans as it might be expected to attain the object for which it wa intended. He mainly objected to the principle of tt e law enacted in 1828, bectuse there was a certain price stated by it, below which no foreign corn would be admitted. To a certain extent this law had been founded upon the enactment of 1815, when the importation price was 90s. per quarter. In the year, 1816, by a lamentable visitation of Providence, the lailute of the craps was so great, that the markets were opened for the recep tion of foreign corn, even at that high limitation, nor were the crops of 1817, 1818, an t 1819, RIM cient for the purposes of the county, although the prices were not sufficiently high to admit the full operation of the law.--( Hear, hear.) tne Hon. Member then went into some statements of the comparative Fro duce for the year 1819, up to the year 1828, (LEFT SITTING.) INQUEST ON R. CULLY. (THIS EVENING.) The inquest having been adjourned until five o'clock this evening, the jurymen, witnes , es, &c. assembled at , he Calthorpe Arms at that hour. The Coroner (Mr. Stirling), however, was not present, and ha I not arrived at the tittle our reporter left, viz. half past six o'clock. Among the persons present who were expected to be examined, were several who hid their heads bandaged, and one whose arm was in a ding. We understood t 1 at they received their injuries from the police during the affray. Mr. M'Wxwax, a County Magistrate, attended at b o'clock, and was in waiting, as well as the Jury, &c., for the appearance of the Coroner. IMPERIAUTA RLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, M 4716. INSURANCE ON FARMING STOCK. Sir R. PEEL hoped the Hon. Member for Lincolnshire (Mr. H. Handley) would not refuse to postpone to ano ther day his motion relating to certain duties on farming stock. He m ide this request because he wished to hear the personal charge which was to he brought forward against him by the Hon. Member for Oldham. . . - Lord ALTIIORP said he believed it would be unneces sary for the Hon. Member for Lincolnshire to press his motion for the repeal of so much of the 9th Geo. IV. as imposed certai❑ duties on insurances from loss or damage by fire as related to live and dead stock. He bad looked into the amount of those duties, and they were so insigni ficant that he thought they could be dispensed with. Mr. H. HANDLEY said that under those circum stances he bad great pleasure in withdrawing his motion. - SIR . ROBERT PEEL. - Mr. COBBETT, who was called fur from all parts of the House, said, that in rising to bring forward his motion be should not trouble or detain the House with any apo logy or professions. The course he meant to pursue was, first to read the resolutions which he bad to propose, and leave it to the House to gather from those resolutions the grounds on which he proceeded. The Hon. Member then read the following resolutions : " Resolved, That according to the laws and customs of this kingdom, the King, our Sovereign Lord, can do no wrong to the whole, to any part, or to any one of his subjects; that, however, effectually to guard against wrong being, in his Ma jesty's name and under his authority, done to his subjects with impunity, the same laws and customs which have, as our birth right, descended to us from our just and wise forefathers, make all and every one, acting in that name and under that authority, fully and really responsible to the good people of this kingdom for every wrong done unto them by any and every person invested with such authority, and that, in virtue of such responsibility, the wrong-doing party is subject to such censures, pains, and penalties, as in virtue of the said laws and customs the several tribunals of the kingdom have, in all ages, been wout to inflict; that, if this responsibility were not real and practical, we should be living under not only a des_ potism, but an avowed despotism, for the King being inca. pable of wrong-doing, and his servants being responsible merely in name and form, and not in practice, they also could do no wrong, and then the people of this renowned kingdom, the cradle of true liberty, would be the most wretched slaves ever yet heard of under the sun; that in cases where the wrong-doing is committed by inferior functionaries, or is in its effects confined to individuals, or to small numbers of suf. ferers, the ordinary courts of justice have usually been deemed competent to afford redress to the injured ; but that when the wrong is the act of a Minister of State, sworn to advise the King for the good of his people, when that Minister of State receives as a reward for his fidelity and skill large sums of the people's money, and when the wrong by him done is in its effects so deeply and so generally mischievous as to send ruin and misery to sweep over the kingdom like the pestilence, then there is, for the purpose of yielding justice to the suf fering millions, no power competent but that which is pos sessed by their faithful representatives assembled in this House. " That in the year 1819 there had long been, and then was, in virtue of divers Acts of Parliament theretofore passed, a paper money in circulation throughout this kingdom, which paper money was, in effect, a legal tender in payment of all private debts, as well as in the payment of taxes ; that this paper money, descending so low as to notes of one pound, had been the almost only circulating money of the country from February, 1797; that is to say, for the space of 21 years ; that this paper money soon became depreciated to so great an ex tent, that the prices of commodities had, during the said 21 years, risen, on an average of years and commodities, to about double the amount of the prices at which the same commodities were usually sold before the issue of the said legal-tender paper.money ; that the depreciation of the money was so notorious, and so amply avowed in Parliament, that divers Acts were passed during the said twenty-one years to raise the allowances to the Royal Family, the salaries of the Judges, of the Police Magistrates, of the army, of the navy, and of almost every one in public employ, for the purpose of coun. teracting the effect of this very great depreciation; that, during the said twenty-one years next preceding 1819, all mortgages, rent charges, leases, settlements, annuities, bonds, and other contracts for time, together with all wills and testaments, had been agreed on, settled, and made on the basis of this depre ciated money ; and that, during the said twenty-one years, about five hundred millions of the public debt had been con. tracted in the said depreciated paper money ; that, therefore, to pass an Act compelling the debtor parties to make good these contracts for time, to the very letter, in sterling gold, must be, . _ in fact, an act of confiscation against, and a sentence of ruin pronounced upon, these parties ; while, with regard to the people at large, such Act must in reality double the amount of the public debt, double the amount of all the above.mentioned augmented salaries and public pay, and, of course, double the real amount of the taxes. " That, notwithstanding these premises and conclusions, so indubitably true, and so clear to the understanding of every man of common sense, the Right Honourable Robert Peel, then one of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, did, in the said year 1819, bring into the then House of Commons, and pro cure to be passed by that House, a Bill to put an end to the legal-tender paper money, which Bill, unaccompanied as it was with any measure for the revision and rectifying of private con tracts, and for the adjustment of public engagements, was a 8111 inevitably tending to produce that injustice, confiscation, and ruin hereinbefore described. " That this Act, which received the Royal Assent on the 2d July, 1819, though it provided for what was called the gradual resumption of gold payments, began at once to plunge the whole community into pecuniary confusion; that the prices of all commodities, and of all property moveable or immoveable, began instantly to fall prodigiously in price; that mortgaged estates were, in thousands upon thousands of instances, taken from the owners and sold, in many cases, for less than the amount of the mortgages; that, in other cases, fixed charges upon estates swallowed up the whole of the rental; while, with regard to leases, bonds, annuities, and other contracts for time, and, above all things, with regard to property dropping in to be dis posed of by will, the demon of injustice seemed to have been, by this atrocious Act, let loose upon the kingdom, setting landlords and tenants, creditors and debtors, brothers and sis. tern, parents and children, to tear each other to pieces, bring ing down hundreds of thousands of families from a state of competence and ease, and many from a state of opulence, to a state of utter ruin and beggary, while all those who were livinh on the taxes, and who were in fact receiving double pay, were rolling in wealth, and lording it over the rest of the commu nity ; and that, of all these drndful effects of such a measure, the said Right Hon. Robert Peel had been duly warned even before he brought in the said fatal Bill. " That, by the said Act, gold payments were to be com pletely resumed, and the one-pounds were to be wholly abo. CALCUTTA PAPERS. Calcutta papers to the 18th of January were received yesterday. The only subject of any interest with which they are occupied is that of the recent mercantile failures. With regard to the last of them, that of Messrs. Mackin tosh and Co., it is stated that a general letter of license to the partners of that firm had been drawn up, and was in course of signature at Calcutta, by which the creditors agree to surrender a portion of their claims, and to allow the residue to continue in their hands fur a term of years at five per cent. interest. A favourable feeling seems to be expressed on all sides towards the partners of the house. A meeting of the creditors had been called for the 21st of January, at which a statement of its affairs, and the result of the proposed arrangement was to be submitted. The creditors of Messrs. Alexander and Co. had held their fourth meeting, at which, however, nothing further was done than to pass a resolution to petition the Insol vent Court for the appointment of certain persons to act as assignees on behalf of the creditors. Mr. Turton afterwards presented the petition before Commissioner Sir E. Ryan, stating the purport, which was, that Messrs. J. H. Burkinyoung and J. Abbott bad been selected to be paid or working trustees, and that Messrs. George Alexander, William Cobb Hurry, and Radamadub Bonnerjee had been chosen to act as honorary trustees. The Court ultimately appointed Mr. Burkinyoung and Mr. Hurry, for the purpose of making an investigation, and if that were favourable, of certifying to the Court that they found assets immediately available to the amount of one half of the claims, upon which being done, the Court would consider whether the other three gentlemen should be joined with th em in the assigneeship. The reason they fixed upon the two gentlemen above-named, in preference to the others, was in conseqw.nce of the others rs being concerned in the late firm. Mr. Alexander brother to one of the late firm. Radamadub Bonnerjee had been concerned in business with them, and Mr. Abbott bad been for a long time employed in their establishment. A meeting was also held at the Exchange, when Col. Becher having taken the chair, a letter was read from the late firm of Alexander and Co., requesting a pnstpone ment of the meeting, to give them and the Director s an opportunity of perusing the report before its publication ; in compliance with which the meeting was adjourned for a week ; the Committee, in the mean time, being directed to submit the report to them. Mr. Dickens, on the part of the assignees of Muir% LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1833. Palmer and Co., appeared before the same commissioner, and obtained leave to carry on the indigo concerns of the ltte firm for another year, which, during the List year, hid produced a profit on the outlay of 112,000 rupees. The Court inquired when another dividend would be made, to which Mr. Dick-ns repiied, that the estate would be in a positicn to allow a dividend of 3 per cent. in June, and another of 6 per cent. in November. Accounts had reached the Presidency from the head• quarters of His M 46th Reeiment, which marched on the 18th of December from Hyderabad for Masuli pat itn, stating that cholera had broken out in the camp, and about a dozen deaths had taken place previous to the 25th of the same month, and many patients were in hospital.

MPERIA LPA RLIAMENI THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. ROYAL ASSENT. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Personal Estates Bill, Cotton Duty Repeal Bill, Tile Duty Repeal Bill, Exchequer Court (Scotland) Bill, Taunton Improvement Bill, Gravesend, and Milton Improvement Bills, Greenwich Railway Bill, and several road Bills. The Commissioners were, the Loan CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LaNsnowNE, and the Earl of RIPON. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved fur returns of wine imported into this country, and the duty paid upon it, for the last five years, ending sth April, 1833. Lord AUCKLAND had no objection to the motion, and he was sure that when the returns were laid upon the table, they would put an end to the false reports which had gone abouyis tothe evils produc,d by the present duty. The Earl of WICKLOW, in moving fur returns re lative to tithes in Ireatad, said, by the Bill for the Com positioa of Tithes in Ireland, a power was given to the Lord-Lieutenant to appoint Commissioners to value the tithes iu parishes where, after a certain time, the inhabi tan.s had not done so. It was well known that that Bill was merely intended to clear the way for other measures. The Ministry had promised three Bills on the subject, and only one had yet been pressed through the Legislature. —(Hear, hear.) He was surprised, that, when they had arrived at that late period of the session, no intimation of the other measures had yet been given. The Noble Lord moved a return of the number of pa rishes in Ireland where composition of tithes had been effected by commissioners appointed by the Lord- Lieutenant. The Marquis ofILANSDOWNE said there could be no objection to the return, but it ought to be borne in mind that the political state of Ireland, since the Bill passed, had not been favourable to the operation of the measure. After a few words from Lord CARBERY, the returns were ordered. Lord WHARSCLIFFE presented a petition against the Local Courts Jurisdiction Bill. The Marquis of STAFFORD presented petitions front Newcastle under Line and other places, against slavery. Lord SUFFIELD presented SW petitions to the same effect, including those from Portsmouth, Winchester, Ltn:ghborutigh, Market Harbutough, Chester-le-street, Dies, North and South Shields, and Worthing. Lord ELLENBOROUUH wished to know whether these petitions were.in favour of, ur opposed, to the plan of his Majesty's Ministers brought forward in the House of Commons. Lord SUFFIELD said that parts of the plan were totally opposed to the prayer of all the petitions he had presented, and to tie wishes of the people of England. He was of opinion, however, that the plan might be altered so as to meet their wishes. It was quite inconsistent with the prayer of the petitions that the slave should be made to pay for his own manumission. miff tie Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from York, Montrose, and other places, for the g radual aboli tion of slavery, and that due consideration should be given to the rights of property. He agreed with the peti tioners, and thought that his opinion was more consistent with the acts and resolutions of Parliament than that of the Noble Baron opposite (Suffield). Many people, not only the slave owners, but those who had lent their money upon West India slavery, if this question was prematurely decided, and the immediate emancipation of t..e slaves carried into effect. Lord SUFFIELD said that he was ready to recognize the rights' of property, but not the right of property in human beings. men worked fur the wages which would be given them, and it was absurd to suppose that if the siaves were emancipated they would nut work. He could nut tell how the Noble Duke conceived that the question was wrought on prematurely, when " some " change was ad mitted to be necessary by all, by the West Indian pro prietors themselves. He was certain that immediate emancipation would tend to the welfare and prosperity of the colonies. The Duke of WELLINGTON rose to explain, and was left speaking, of avoiding all delay, that he had determined to bring the matter forward on Friday the 24th inst., when he hoped there would be a full and satisfactory discussion. After a few words from Sir JOHN HOPE and two other Members, the petitions were laid o n 'he table. COLONEL EVANS AND SIR J. HOBHOUSE. Colonel EVANS rose and said, I am anxious to put a question to the Bight Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Ellice), Secretary at War, and I can assure him that I do so with all respect for the office he holds. and not fiotn any want of good feeling. The qtte,ti tn is, in fact, one of great public importance, and not merely of personal interest. During a recent contest a statement appeared in the public prints assign. in,; the power to the person holding the office of Secretary at War, to remove any officer of his Majesty's service at hi pleasure, from his Majesty's half-pay Ist. That was the general bearing of the statement. But since then an other statement has been put forth, to a certain extent correcting that intetpretation. Undoubtedly, Sir, the persons • who report the public proceedings in this great city are well known to do so with great ac curacy and precision. But, at the same time, during the time of elections of great magnitude and im• portance, when the Press takes a decided part, they are not giierally very scrupulous—at least some portion of the Press is not very scrupulous in the mode they adopt, in order to carry their object into operation. Therefore, Sir ; I mo bound to assuthe that it was in c msequence of some war of feeling or. partiztnship that this statement was first made to appear. But in the correction after nards given, the assumed power of the Secretary at Wai to remove an officer on the army half-pay list, with out reference to any cause, was not distinctly died timed. I venture to think that this House will agree with we, that this is a most important matter, and that the question in regard to it should be correctly ascertained, both with regard to the situations of those holding coin nus-iona under his AI ije,ty, and to the freedom of election and the privileges of this House. I have therefore risen, not with any factious motive whatever ; indeed, 1 con sider it important that Government should have an op portunity ut explaining their view of this qu-stion, be cause every officer lidding commissions ander the Crown— The SPEAKER here said the Hon. and Gallant Member might put the question. Colonel, EVANS then said, I wish to know whether the Secretary at War has the power to remove at his pleasure aoy officer on his Majesty's half-pay list? Mr. ELLICE said he had no intention in answering the question put to him by the Hon. and Gallant Colonel. If unfortunately it appeareri necessary toGovernment to remove any.:such officer, it would be the duty of the Secretary at War to take his Majesty's pleasure on the subject, and he (the Secretary at War) would be responsible for the advice he had given. He had searched the records of the War-office, and if it was any sati•faction to the Hon. and Gallant Colonel to know, he would state that there was no case of an officer in existence removed from the half pay list of the arii,y, who had not been removed for some offence relative to his moral character. Col. EVANS—Then I undets'and, judging by the practice, that the power I have referred to, is not vested to the Secretary at War. . . . Mr. ELLIS was anxious not to be misunderstood. It a case unfoi innately arose that, in the opinion of the House, called fur the removal of an officer, Mini.ters would advise his Majesty to that effect, and it was within the province of the Secretary at War, to tender his advice to his Majesty on the subject, but for that ad vice he would be responsible. Colonel EVANS repeated his wish to know distinctly, whether the power rested in the Secretary at War or not? Lord ALTHORP said, the Crown bad undoubtedly the prerogative of strike off any half-pay officer, and if a case should occur when in the opinion of Government that should take place, it was the duty of the Secretary at War to address his Majesty fur the exercise of that un doubted prerogative. But be was at the same time responsible for his advice. NOIM ICH ELECTION. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT presented a petition from tbn electors of Norwich, praying for an inquiry into tht cases of hi ibery which bad occurred there at the lase election. Lord STORMONT said that this was a contemptible petition, which had been seconded by all the respectable inhabitants of Norwich. The patties had already had their case tried before the proper tribunal, and fioin the manner in which they were proceeding against Warwick and Stafford, he thought Norwich ought not to escape inquiry. HOUSE OF COMMONS. There being a Commission to day, the SPEAKER took the chair at ten minutes before five o'clock, shortly after which the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the at tendance of the House to the House of Lords, to hear the Royal Assent given to several Public and Private Bills, for which see Lords' report. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the members of the Alliance Marine Assurance Company, against the Fulham Road Bill. CITY OF LIMERICK ELECTION. Sir T. FRENIANTLE brought up the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of the petition of Mr. J. Verriker against the return of D. and W. Roche. T►,e Committee reported that the two latter gentlemen had been duly elected ; that the petition of Mr. Verriker was not frivolous or vexatious, nor the opposition to it. COLERAINE ELECTION. Mr. HARDY brought up the report of the Committee appointed to try the merits of this election. The Com mittee reported that Sir John Poer Beresford was not duly elected ; that Mr. Alderman Copeland was duly elected ; and that neither the petition nor opposition was frivolous or vexatious. Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Bread•street Ward, praying for a reduction in the expenditure of the country, and for a repeal of the house and window taxes. Also petitions against slavery, and for an alteration in the laws affecting forgery. The Hon. Member also pre sented a petition from the ;nhabitants of the parish of St. Andrews, Holborn, complaining of the heavy amount of Poor Rates, and of the great proportion of extra-parochial property in that parish. He trusted that his Majesty's Ministers,*.in any amendments they might propose in the Poor Laws, would have this particular grievance well considered and looked to.—.( Hear. ) On the motion that the petitions do lie upon the table, Mr. OLIPHANT begged leave to inquire of his Hon. Friend the M em b er for Ayr, when it was his intention to bring forward the StAtch Entail Bill. It was a matter of much importance, and it was desirable that those Members who were interested in the measure might have a full opportunity of discussing it. Mr. KENNEDY said it was his earnest desire to bring the measure forward in such a way as to afford a good dis cussion. There was, Hun. Members must be aware, much difficulty it in pressing for war d any measure l a the present session, and t might b e a quest i on w i t h some whether it !night not be better to postpone the Bill until another see ; but be was so deeply impressed with the necessity IRISH SECRETARYSHIP. Mr. H. GRATTAN asked whether it was intended to fill up the Irish Secretaryship. He had heard it re• ported lately that it was not in ended to do so, but to transfer the management of Irish adriirs to a department of the Home-office. Lord ALTHORP said that no such thing WAS in. tended, and the House could not enter into the discus. sion lurther. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said that the Noble Lord might have spared his description of the parties who had provoked this petitmn, for the gentlemen who had placed it in his hands were as respectable as any in the county of Norfolk. He did not wish to disturb the Noble Lord in his seat now, but to have the bribery which had been com mitted without the Noble Lord's knowledge punished. Mr. C. BULLF:R said that when they eonsidered that he doubted not that he should in a very short apace of time be able to announce that the appointment was filled up. SUPPLY OF WATER TO LONDON. Mr. HOME asked whether the water survey for the metropolis had been made. Lord ALTHOLP said it had, as far as he thought it ne cessary, and as far as the money granted by Parliament would go. Sir F. BURDETT hoped that his Majesty's Govern ment would not object to another 1,000/. or 2,0001. being granted, to make so important a survey complete. Mr. YOUNG seeing the Vice-President of the Board of Trade in his place, wished to ask what were his inten tions with respect to the ten Bills on the orders of the day relative to the customs, warehousing of goods, fcc., materially affecting the shipping interest, as the gentlemen in that interest were exceedingly anxious on the subject. Mr. P. THOMSON thought if the Bills were post poned for a fortnight, or three weeks, great convenience might result. As to the merchants, shipowners, and those connected with the shipping interest, feeling great anxiety on the subject, he could only say that it was perfectly well understood that the pre sent Bills were only brought forward for the pur po.e of consolidating the different statutes on the subject. When the Bills got into Committee, he should probably make some alterations in them ; but every opportunity should be given to Hon. Members, of knowing what those alterations were to be. Mr. YOUNG could prove to the Right Hon. Mem. ber, that if the Bills now brought forward were to pass, property would be allowLd to be imported, that was not under the proper st +tom. Mr. O'CONNF.LL moved the postponement of the issuing of the writ for the borough of Cirrickfergus, till tube 6th June, on which day be shouid move for leave to bring in a Bill to disfranchise that borough. On the motion of Mr. BERNAL, the issuing of the writ for the borough of Hertford was postponed to Fri day se'nnight. CORN LAWS. Mr. W. WHITMORE then rose for the purpose of bringing forward his motion relrtive to the corn laws. He would state as concisely as dossible the object of the motion of which be had given notice i❑ the early part of the session, for a consideration of the present system of corn laws. He was exceedingly anxious to bring the subject under the consideration of House, because he was fully convinced that all Honourable Members who had seriously considers the subject, would find it highly deserving consideration. It would be in the recollection of the House that in former years he bad brought the subject under its consideration, and if he had abstained from pressing his views on the subject latterly, it arose from two reasons ; one, that be was anxious to give an oppor tunity of seeing how the law of 1828 would work ; and the second, because he felt that he bait but little chance of claiming the attention of a House of Commons constimo d as it then was. A change, however, bad now taken place in the representation ; interests that before might be considered as not being fairly represented, had now a share in the representation of the people. One of the interests which had been admitted, and of which he was the humble representative, was the great manufac turers of the kingdom.—(Hear.) He could assure the House that if the question that be was now about -td i f - -17ie•0 : 6 ji2 cc/J-I,e -1.1-I'ercen /:€( 4- :.,:„ .. --- '' 4 • l ' , ,- :,•" 7 .:' , .:C::. fished, in the month of May, 1823; Nit .' terrible were thlr 4 r effects of the aforesaid At t, sucli i 'ivereS4o ruin ,and uii that it had produced, that on the -g - 11; 1822, ao:tiljir was, by the then advisers of hislltaillati t (of whom th k, Right Honourable Robert Peel was-one 4 iprispOt inti:, the - then' House of Commons, and was afters pd into a law, postponing the abolition of the one-pou'n'd notes for eleven years longer; that an important part of the Act of 1819 was thus repealed ; that an acknowledgment was thus virtually made by an Act of the House itself, that it had, principally by the said Right Hon. Robert Peel, been induced to act unwisely, and to do great wrong to the people by the said Act of 1819. " That, if the Act of 1822 had been wise, if it had put a stop to the wrong done and still doing by the Act of 1819, it came very tardily, it waited till prodigious ruin had been effected; but that this Act of 1822, while it postponed the abolition of the one pound notes for eleven years, left the gold payment part of the Act of 1819 in full force: so that, while the issuers of paper money were thus invited and encouraged to inundate the country with one pound notes, they and the holders of the . ,: notes were left exposed to constant, and, first or last, certain ruin; that this ruin (of which the said Right Hon. Robert Peel and his colleagues were duly warned) was not slow ill making its appearance; that, towards the close of the yea! 18f25, the bubble, thus created by the law itself, began to burst, and that, before the end of January, 18X, a hundred banks had stopped, not having gold wherewith to pay their notes, the whole kingdom being thereby plunged into alarm and confu. sion, thousands upon thousands of families (descending to the very artisans and labourers) being brought down to beggary; and, such being the state into which the country had been brought, that the Ministers themselves declared, in Parliament, that, at one time, the country had actually been within forty eight hours of barter, that is to say, destitute of all measure of value, and in a state of utter confusion and anarchy. " That, with all this sad experience of the effects of his mea sures, the said Right Hon. Robert Peel (still one of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and then become one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State) gave his sanction to a Bill (which became an Act on the 22d March, 1826) for agalti abolishing the one-pound notes at the end of three yearti nert withstanding the postponement of such abolition provided fe't in the Act of 1822; that by this Act of 1826 the nation v..:0 again plunged back into the low prices, and in effect double taxes, produced by the unjust Act of 1819; that the ruin and misery of all the industrious classes, and the wealth and luxury of those who live on the taxes, have gone on increasing from that day to this, and that at this moment there appears to be no human being able to discover any quiet way of extricatih the kingdom from its present state of unparalleled difficulty and danger. hat, contemplating these mighty calamities, thus healed on his Majesty's industrious and dutiful people, and further contemplating the probable danger therefrom to be apprehended to the safety of his Majesty's authority and throne, and clearly tracing a great part of these to the want of knowledge in the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, this House, reserving to itself the right of adopting further and other proceedings in the pre. mises, deems itself bound, in duty to his Majesty, and from an anxious regard to the well-heir; of his people, not to leave them again exposed to calamities and dangers proceeding from the same source; and that, therefore, this House wilt present a loyal and dutiful address to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to dismiss the Right lion. Sir Robert Peel from his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council." The SPEAKER wished to know whether the statement read by the Hon. Member was intended merely as a part of his speech, or as resolutions which he intended to pro pose to the House. Mr. COBBETT said he intended to propose them as resolutions. The SPEAKER said his object was to prevent irregu larity, and not to throw any obstacle in the way of the Hon. Member. It was irregul .1- for a Member to read his speech, and it was unusual, and would he most incon venient, to allow any Hun. Member to record on tbe journals of the House, in the shape of resolutions, a state ment of his own views and arguments upon any subject. Such statements were better fitted for pamphlets than for the journ ils of that House.—(Laughter, and Hear.) Mr. COBBETT would propose the resolutions he had read, and leave it to the House to adopt or reject them. The House might, if it thought fir, refuse to insert them on the journals. With that he had little to do. He hid heard a great deal of responsibility of public men, but he had seldom heard of its practical application. Re-ponsi hility did not in his mind mean simply that a pu , die man was liable to be scolded or reprimanded. According to his notion, responsibility meant that a man should he reformedwith ithpubii ll c o m u e s n e u o p f on Ci; h m e m sa n m ns e pr did inc it i s pi d e u w ty h , ic i h t really and substantially accountable for his acts; and if regulated ft hoe u pidreid eena I t t h transactions of ordinary life. He was going to prove a case of great injustice and wrong to the public, and it would not he his fault if a reformed Parliament did not interfere in such a way as would be a warning in fu ture to public men. Nobody could deny that the Bill of 1819 was most unfortunate and partial in its operation. This was asserted over and over again by the Hon. Mem bet. for Whitehaven (Mr. Attwood). It was also the opinion of Mr. Ricardo, and the present Secretary had PO strongly expressed his opinions that he (Mr. Cobbett) ex pected to have his vote on this occasion. That Hon. Member had gone so far as to propose a reduction in the standard of value, and had denounced the Act of 1819 as ' l i e of public plunder. The present Premier also said that it would be most unjust to pay in specie debts con tracted in a depreciated paper currency, and it was difficult to explain how that Noble Lord could with consistency remain in office without attempting to remedy the injustice dons by the Act of 1819. He was surprised that the country gentlemen had sub mitted to that Act; but perhaps the question with them was whether, in order to do justice, they would not have to give up all they possessed to the Jews, by whom they had been already greatly injured. In the 21 years men tioned in his resolutions the-average price of wheat was I 1 s. a bushel, and in 1822 the price was ss. lid. a bushel. There was a proof of the effort of the Bill; and it must be remembered that wheat was the last article to decline in price. Southdown wool, in the 21 years be fore 1819, sold for 2s. 11 id. !pound ; from 1519 to 1826, wool of the same quality sold for l Id. a pound ; and from 1826 to 1833 it sold for 9J. a pound. How dreadful, then, must have been the loss to the farmer. In many counties the wool used to pay the rent ; hut would it do so now ? Such were the facts ; and they must be tenied, or the resolution must be supported, or the House 'oust say it had not courage to do its just deity. Again, witb iron the mischief had been equally great. In the tirst period he had alluded to, the price of pig iron was 8/. per ton, in the second period 41. per ton, and in the third period it was 21. 10s. per ten. He therefore contended , hat there bad been mighty mischief done ; that that mis chief was occasioned by the Bill of 1819 ; and that the House was hound, in justice to the country, to make an example of the chief mover to en bad a result. The Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies the other night, when speaking of the distress in the West Indies, bad revived an absurdity he had thought had been buried with its first promulgator, the late Lord Liverpool. That nonsense was laughed at enough during the life of Lord Liverpool, and when that Minister was buried he eh'sught the cause of the laugh was buried too. But :he Right Ho nourable Secretary had revived it, and told the West India Proprietors that their distresses were not caused by the discussions of the subject, or tbe interference of the Legislature, but by over-production of sugar and coffee. Oh, no! it was not by over-prodoction of sugar, but by unde- production of money. In coffee there had been an mmense fall in price. In sugar the same. The price of sugar from 1797 to 1819 was Sta. per cwt., front 1819 to 1826 it was 265. per cwt., and from 1826 to 1833 it was only 225. per cwt. And what was the cause of that fall? Why, the Bill of 1819. That was the true cause of the Mistress of the West Indians. They were compelled to pay to much interest upon mortgages with sugar at 225. per cwt. as they were when they got 82s. per cwt. And yet he doubted not that if there were any West India Proprie ors present they would be found voting against his reso utions, and thereby affirming that the Bill which had destroyed them was of no consequence. Again, in the East Indies, the effects of the Bill had been equally destruc tive. When there was a paper currency indigo was Bs. per pound, but now it was only 4s. 3i. per pound. That was the consequence of the Bill of 1819, and every altera tion in the value of money must of neoeseity produce great effects. He imputed no bad motives to the Right Hoe, Baronet; and he knew that Mr. Tierney, Mr. Husicisson, and others, were equally culpable with the Ri ght Baronet. But then the Right Hon. Baronet bad brought the Bill forward, and the House o ught to mark his conduct, bith)avingled to such frightful results. H e (complained that the Fir s t L or d o f the ir.co Cobbett) Admiralty and the Secretary at War had left the House. He bad a right to do so; for he slimed th e su pp or t both , (lot the of and th at Bill of slß9iliwwasu to not im a a l k l e t w he ony R e ig m ht or H e o p n ie o p u t r i a f b u l i e .

Nor would such a recantation he of novelty won the subject under consideration. In 1819 the R i g ht Honourable Baronet had abandoned his mistaken no tions d former days; in 1822 he had again renoun ced his pie e 7' be doctrines, and in 1826 be had done t he like. be , they evening the Noble Lord (Althorp) h ad said he could sot, as an honest man, vote fo r t he prop o ,ition o the Hon. Member for Wbitehaven , for it would depr, ciate the value of money. Now h ad that Bil l no re,eiroilante o the Bill of 182 2 ? Wh y , the Principle of th e two meas ures was precisely the same. But in 1822 the Go. vernmsn t of w hi c h the Right Hon. Baronet was on e h ai l that l upon the motions they had made. i nten d e d to make papfe-raosey a legal tender. FrOUI
