VMPtIVIAL PAULIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Dxc. 7. NEGRO SLAVERY. 'Petitions were presented against Negro Slavery by Lord 'Gavial"; from Wadull, by Lord DA'CIIX ; and by Lout CAL- . -manta, from Birmingham, Waheorth, and Camberwell., Petitions of a like nature were also presented by the, Bishop of Latium.% Lord Ilex Ley ' and Lord FR A Ntot. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE, in consequence of, the illness of the Marquis of Anglesea, presented several' petitions from Ireland; but the only two we could hear was one from Dublin, praying for the assimilation of the Bank rupt Laws of Ireland with these of England, and the other from the same place, praying for the better adtninistra- tion of Parliamentary grants for charitable purposes. He was sorry that the Marquis of Angleseiwas'so ill sib., be unable to present these petitions himself. But this he would say for him that no person was more anxious to con ciliate all parties, which he knew would be for the interest of Ireland. On the motion of the Duke of RICHMOND, leave was given to the Committee on the Poor Laws to report to the l i House, when they' thought fit, and the evidence taken before them was ordered to he printed.

RETRENCHMENT AND ECONOMY. Lord ALTHORP gave notice that on Thursday next he should move for a Select Committee to inquire into what reduction could he made in the salaries of all officers holding places under the Crown during 'plettsure, such offices being filled by Members of either House of Parliament.—(Loud tries of" hear," and cheering, from all parts of the /louse.) After the cheering had somewhat subtitled, the Noble Lard gave notice that on Frit'', next he should more fur a vote of credit on account of the Civil List.--(Hear.) Sir HENRY PARNELL asked whit was 'the inten tion of Government with respect to the Civil List ? Lord ALTHORP, in reply to the question of his Right Ilon. Friend opposite (Sir IL Parnell), would explain that ' bie Majesty's Govermueot had taken the whole subject of the Civil List into deliberate consideration ; many of them `disapproved of the mode in which it had been lathed, usual to,present the Civil List to that House, They would not, therefore, feel themselves jortified in again proposing to a Committee . the papers which had been presented re— " Wing the Civil List by their pretiecesiora knitter. They should take some :time its' deliherating upon the.cimukes which 'ought to be reads in the arrangements of the Civil List, It was with that view that he proposed tee upply, in the Committee on Friday evening, for a grant on ac• count of the Civil List, until the Government should have prepared the plans which they would ultimately bring for. ward. He had not thought it necessary to snake that ex. phinstion in giving notice of bis intended application to the Cs'Anmittee; and he was sure the House would see the necessity for slowing to Ministers the time which they required. Should the House so consent to indulge them, they would bring forward their proposition respecting the Civil Liu at an early day. after the recess.—( Clear.) Sir it. PEEL begged, to ask whether be had rightly un derstood the ruble Lorsito Bay that it was big intention to move that the Order revecting the Select Committee on the Civil List should be rescinded Lord ALTIIORP Explained that the contrary was }lir Intention. Sir I. PEEL. -then remarked fag we understood him), that then there could surely he no, ocealioo ti, apply far rote of :credit. If a Select Committee should sit ac c o r d. lag to the Order of the blouse, it of course would do the business for which it bad been appointed, and would re. caimmetui the grant of a sufficieot sum.—(llear, hear.) Mr. J. WOOD said that he for one was exceedingly obliged to the Noble Lord fur the announcement which he bail made. He wag sure that it would he received with unqualified satisfaction by the cnuntry.—(Clear.) Ile was Much gretified to hear that the Ministers would submit their plan respecting the Civil List to the Committee al. ready appointed,—(Cheeis ) Nothing could be better aculated to secure to them the support of the honest a nil iodependent Members of that House, who, upon whatever side they might choose to occupy teats, would never lie iniluced to join in en opposition haviiig for its object merely to drive round to this side those who MIW sit on that, in order to Mere into their placits.—(Checrs.) He was our. prised that the Right Hon. Baronet, who had so lately And for seer long a time held a place of high confidence in the councils of his Majesty, • should affix a groundless opposi. lion to the Government, and throw vexatious impedimenta in the wily of the public buiriuesa—(Cheere, acid cries of " No, no froM Sir Robert Peel.) For his own part, he (Mr. Wood) acknowledged, that from no other Mem ber of that House bad be experienced greater courtesy than fmin the bight Hem baronet, but be Certainly diii believe that the Right lion. Minuet was throw - ill; a vexatious impediment in the way of the ;Ministers, (when he said, that if the Select Committee should Meet, the considera tion of the Civil List ought to he klt with theni—(No, 130)...whireae, it seemed to him (Mr. Wood) but rem equable, that the House should allow the Ministort time to prepare their plena, and he believed that they more de.. *reread confidence When they required time to consider their measure* before they offered than to Rouse. Sir R. PEEL said, that he had never heard such n speech at that just delivered , by the Him. Cattleman be hind him.-.(blear, hear.) Ile could. not acknowledge th a t th e Hon. Gentleman bed any right to read hint it lecture for the opinion 'wliklt he hart taken occasion to express. He denied that he reed veinimie impediment* to the public business. The Noble Lord load called for time to allow the Govettimeot ter co.:udder the List which the/ should propose, and accordingly the Comieittee which the house bad appointed was not to consider the matter for which it had been appieted until Ministers siould be prepared to make their proposition. limit the Noble Lord had announced that kis arrengement* could not be completed until After Christi, as. Now it did alo. pear to hint tiro the Committee ought not to it without considering the subject referred to them ; and surely there ought tribe some distinct proceeding of the House before it could be said that the Committee would not sit. The Hon. Gentlemen hail said, that !itemise he: .(Sir It. Nel) had opposed the Committee, lie ought not now to oppose its being soperteded. But if such A postponement were to take place, it ought to Lou the act of the Muse, and not of individual Member*. Thu proposition of the !Veld,: Lord amounted to this..-.that a OitUrtlittitd ordered by the House should be adjourned sine iiie, Without the sanction of the House. Now be asked if, in pointing out the irre. gularity of-such a proceeding, he offered any unrereioneble opposition to the 111141;44 Administration? Lord ALTHORP explained his intention to Apply for mally to the Route foe leave to postpone the sitting of the Committee. Yet be iMtnt Sly that he recolleeted well the rase of the Superannuation Committee.' in the last session. The Ministers, having themeelvesi applied-for that Com mittee, peetponed he sitting time six vitae after its sp. pointinent.....(Hear.) Now he slid not thick that he (Lord A.) was doing anything unprecedented or irregular in obtaining the poirtpootoneut of the present Civil CoMmittee. Gentietooo must he aware that it was not the usage fur Comoutuisre tip bit immediately whets pointed, b ut to postpone their sittings ateording to the tonycnicou of the public. butisim i or evtoof the iatlividua' lltembers themselves.-..-.(Near, hear.) When he had been asked whether he should move to rescind tire Inter rot a Select Committee, he thought he bad explained his inten tion to be net to take that course, but, on the sitting of the Cotnmittee, to apply . Tor its pbstponement -until the Ministers should have determined on the plait to be sub mitted to the House:—(trear.) Mr. CHOKER thought the more regular course would be to have the order rescinded. Mr. COURTENAY considered that the whole question turned on a question of form. fte suggested that the pa pers pttsented by the late Administration respecting the Civil List should be withdrawn, and others substituted for therm After a few words from Mr. ettnxica and Mr. Coua. TENAIr; the conversation dropped. HUSH CHANCELLOR, Mr, G., H. DAWSON said, that ho Wished to inquire of the Noble Lord whether thtte was any truth in a re port, which had been very generally circulated, respecting the Lord Chattedlor of Ireland ? He understood that the personage at present filling that office Was ahatit to retire, although he had no wish to do an oh his nwtt account.— (Order.)—Now, if, as was reported, Sir Anthony Hart should be obliged to retire, the country would be bur thened with at additional pension. The retired Man cellar would receive four thousand b.-year—an ex pence for which, so far as the Vresent Irish Chancellor was concerned, there was no excuse for imposing. In this country he knew that a little gentle violence had been necessary for a time, and had ken at length successful, to persuade a late Hon. Member to allow him self to be promoted to the Seals.—(Order.)—Now he (Mr. Dawson) was satisfied that a little of the same kind of force Would be sufficient to persuade Sir A. Hart to retain the Seals, and save the country from the serious expense which that Judges resignation would occasion.— (Order, order.) Lord ALTIIOItP, amidst loud cries of order, replied, that tA yorefient he was unable to answer the question of the Hon. Gentleman. He (Lord A,) had only heard the report alluded to, and he had no knowledge whether or not it had any Foundation.—(Order.) CONSOLIDATED FUND. The Order of the Day for the third reading of the Con kolidated Fund Did war bat read. The Bill accordingly was read a third time and passed. VOTI?,S OF BURGESSES. Mr. HODGSON having moved for a return to be made by the town clerk of every city and borough in England and Ireland returning Members to Parliament, wherein, the right of election is solely or in part in the free burgesses or freemen at large, of the number of persons entitled to the freedom of such city or borough, who have taken up the freedom within the last four years; Mr. BANKES opposed the motion on the ground that the expellee and inconvenience which would be incurred by such a return was infinitely disproportioned to any ad vantage that could he derived from it. An HoN. ME:slava, whose name we did not learn, suggested that certain returns from the Stamp Office would answer all the purposes of the returns applied for. Mr. lIODGSON explained, that the it imps alluded to would not answer such a purpose ; and that the expence of obtaining the returns which he desired would not ex ceed the cost of one hundred letters and one hundred re plies t that being the number of the town clerks from whom the information was to be obtained. Mr. CROKER said that the motion WA4 attended with a difficulty which could not I,e got mkt. No one in that House, much less the Town Clerks of the several boroughs, could undertake to say who had and who had not s right to vote fir .Members of Parliament. The House would not delegate to the persons mentioned in the Hon. Gentle man's motion, the exercise of its exclusive right. After a short conversation, in which Sir C. WE.. TIMM., Mr. WAIUILIKTON, and other Hon. Members took part, Mr. HODGSON said that he would withdraw the motion until Tuesday next, in order to insert the word " reputed" befure the words " Right of Election." RECENT PENSIONS. Mr. TENNYSON inquired whether there was any truth in the report that the late Administration had pro cured the addition of several names to the Pension List, After the. head of that Ministry had virtually resigned ? Mr. GOULBURN said, that he believed one pension hid been appointed on the morning of the day on which the late .Ministry resigned. lie had not heard of mote than one such appointment. scoTCII LAW OF ENTAIL Mr. KENNUDY moved for leave to bring in three Bills to alter and amend the law of entail in Scotland. He wiNhed the Bills to be prebersted ; and to remain in the hands of lion. Members for their consideration until after the Holidays. After a few words from Mr. C. FICRGIISSON and Sir W. RAE, who both supported the proposition, leave was given to bring in the 13ills. Mr. 11. DRUI3II3IOND moved for leave to bring► in a Bill to render more.ellietual the law relating to turnpike• roads in Scotland. Sir M. W. RIDLEY said, that in England mail coaches were not liable to tolls, and be thought it would he an improvement if they were relieved from that burden in Scotland. Sir 0. CLERK sad, that when mail coaches were ren dered liable to toll in Scotland, it was complained of as tending to diminish the revenue derivable from the Post office ; and to obviate that objection, one halfpenny addi. tional was laid upon Scotch letters. Now it would he rather bard upon the people of Scotland to make them pay the inerwed postage and the increased road expenses aris ing from the diminished tolls. Leave was then given to bring in the fill. Mr. RICE, mowed for leave to bring in a Bill to fill up vacancies in th, ! Ilmird of the Commissioners for the Col. of the Land Tax, whether occurring by death or o therwise„......Agrceil Mr. O. • LAMBE moved to discharge the Order which had been made for certain Returns respecting the Metro politan Pollee, fur the purpose of substituting a more ex tended motion, including nettling of all Moneys collected in the several Districts of the Metrop►►lis for the payment of the Police Force now in existence ; also, for Returns of the former , Expences of Nightly Watch and Day Police. Mr. It. COLBORNE took . th►►t occasion to advert to the state of the diourbeil districts in the vicinity of the Metropolio, and of other pArts of the couritry in the stone condition, urging the necemity of issuing Special Colinas *inns in cont4iderable numbers fur the trial of offenders. fie wklied piece upon his Majesty's Government the necessity which existed of making such arrangement. as would prevent partite accused from being hied by the Ma gistrates by Moan they bad been conunitted, and with whom they might have come into personal conflict. Lord ALTIIORP lay' to state, for the information of hie lion. Friend, that in addition to the Commission already ismed, another had paled the Great Seal for the trial of fiffenders in Buckinghamshire. There would be, in the issue of many inure Commissions, considerable difficulty in finding Judges to try the accused. He fully concurred with his Hon. Friend, that none of those pettions ought to be tried by the Alugistratli under whose warrants they were committed, or by any person liable to be swayed by local or any other uwhue influence. The motion having been read from the Chair, Sir ROBERT PEEL observed, that the 'Returns which had b ee n moved for could not be comoleted unless the ex. _ . pence of private watchmen were included in it. Several of the parishes in the metropolis had, front the ne&ssity of the ease, been Cffillpvllerl to employ private watchmen; for there was, in sonic parishes, no rate for the purpose of defraying the txpence of watching. To obtain Returns allowing the cast of private watchmen would be obviously impossible, and 'without them it would lie impracticable to discover the difference between the elpence of the present and the old system. Ale,. \MKS was of opinion that the fullest possible in- formation ought to he oinained, and ha had every hope that when a Committee was appointed to inquire into the state of the police of the metropolis, it would be found that the expenee could be considerably diminished, and that some portion of it ought to be defrayed from the Con solidated Viotti, and not exclusively made chargeable upon the, parishes. Mr. LAMM; ondertmk to obtain all possible informa tion from pirochial authorities, and otherwise, respecting the expense. He was well aware that a number of private watchmen were employed, for cven yet some old ladies de sired to have the hour called at night...4A laugh.) SUPPLY. Lord ALT 11011 1) moved the Order of the Day forbring ing ►►p the report of the Cooonittee of Supply. The report was brought up by Sir A, GRANT, and the resolutions were read and agreed to. Lord Aurnottv moved au, additional resolution, to provide for the payment out of the Consolidated Fund of such annuities, pensions, and other charges as had been voted last year, which was agreed to, CI l /IMITABLE INSTITUTIONS. Alderman THOMPSON moved the seconii reading of the Charitahle institutions' 11111, in doing which, be ob served upon the hardship to which charitable institutions were exposed, end the extent to which the designs of the benevolent were defeated, in consequence of the right sestmod by Psronhial Authorities of making an toettionnent fur Poor Rates upon property that was, and ought to be, exclusively devoted to diatittMe purpows. Dethleitt Hoe pltat Was tatea at %WM a year. The Trustees appealed to the Magistrates in Quarter Sessions assembled, but the Magistrates informed them that they could afford no re medy. They then appealed to the humanity and jugtice of the Parochial Atithurities—(A litigli). , -but with similar success. The Trush!ds of Bethlem Hospital alleged, most truly, that they had tinder their care no less than_ eighty. five paupers, who but for that estildishuient would have become charvible upon the p wish in which their house was situated. He denied that the charity in question had accumulated property to the amount stated, and as to the ground that they occupied in the parish, he thought the objection founded upon that an, 'fully met by the fact of the number of Pinptrs they maintained. Mr. C. CALVERT said he had been intrusted with a lietition to present against this Bill. He had been in. formed that the Bethlem Hospital trustees had realised property from their surplus income to the amount of 14,0001. The rate levied some time since upon the Hos pital wits only one shilling in the pound-- , it had since beitn reduced to ninepence, and he really thought that the trustees ought not to he unwilling to pay so small a rate for lighting and improving the ways leading to their princely establishment. Guy's and St. Thomas's Hospi tals both paid rates, and he therefore did not see why Bethlem was to be excepted. Indeed so large a portion of the parish was occupied by these two Hospitals, that unless they were rated, there would be very few left to pay the rates at all. Mr. Alderman WINCHESTER supported the Bill. The whole of the funds of such an institution ought, to be applied to charitable purposes. Sir U. WILSON said that be should oppose the Bill, because be looked upon it as one which was unjust in its principles, and which bad been introduced at a most un seasonable time, as there was great distress in the parti• cular district to which it hsd reference. The whole of the district of St. George's consisted but of 13U am s, of which thirty were occupied by charitable institutions. Mr. WILKS said, that it was distinctly enacted that all charitable institutions should be liable to paying rates, and that the steward and housekeeper should be the persons held to be liable. This king the case, be thought that it was a little too much to ask to have this one hospital ex cepted from the general rule. Sir M. W. RIDLEY supported the:Bill. The gover nors had no objection that those parts of the hospital which were inhabited by their officers should be rated ; all they asked was, that the portions appropriated to the unthrtunate lunatics should be exempted from parish rates. An How. MEstsr.t sa►d" that the question between the palish and the Hospital was already in agitation; and to let this Bill pass would, consequently, be an act of great injustice. Mr. MABERLY recommlnded that the Bill should not be passed in its present state, but that it should be withdrawn, and time given for investigation. To take the rates off this hospital, as the Dill now stood, would be to place them more heavily upon other charitable institu tions. Mr. EWART thought that some mode of compounding ought to he allowed. Mr. BRISCOE opposed the Bill, because he thmight the rates would fall too heavily upon the poor inhabitants of the district. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON replied. _ _ _ After a few words from Mr. CALVERT, the House diliukd— For the second reading of the Bill Against it Majority against the Bill THE WAIF. LAWS. On the second reading of the Game Bill being moved, Mr. r/LER complained of the cumbrous form in which the Bill was submitted. In his opinion it would be quite sufficient to make every man a trespasser who came on another man's land with a gun in his hand. With respect to qualifications, he thought the whole system was bad; a man with 100,0001. in the Funds could not shoot, while a Captain, because the King had signed his commission, had a right to shoot. Ile main tained that the whole system was founded in error, and led to crime. Let him not be told that without the Game Laws country gentlemen would not live in the county; they had now something better to do there than the pre servation of phe Isaias. If this Bill were got rid of, he would bring in a measure to do away with the objec tionable points, and render the offence a sitnple trespass. Colonel WOOD thought that the lion. Gentleman had contented himself with merely counting the clauses, with out reading them ; for if he had done so, he would have found that almost all the provisions he spoke of were in. traduced. Ile (Colonel Wood) should therefore support the second reading of the BM. At the same time he thought that the details were too much loaded. The two great points that were required were the legalizing the sale of game, so that the public may be supplied ; and the equalizing the law between the poor and the rich. Mr. CURTELS supported the second reading of the Bill, on the understanding that more alterations would take place in the Committee, The fundamental principle that he would lay down was, that it was the first right of every individual to do what he would with the game on his own property, whether that property consisted of one acre or a thousand. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the present Bill was a great improvement on any previous one, though he did not think that it reached that point of simplicity and jus tice which was necessary. For himself, he had always thought that the system of the Game Laws had been most pernicious to the interests of the country. With respect to qualifications, he thought that this Bill did not go far enough ; besides, there was every reason to expect that the law would be evaded on this head ; and the point they ought to look to was to make a law that should so agree with the pervading spirit of the times as not to mike people doh rani of evading it. Ile hoped the Bill might be so,amended in the Committee as to make it a great improvement of the present law, and enable the Perlis -111011 t Us say that it hail done something to clear out this blot on the country, and something to reconcile the people of England to the landed aristocracy of the country. Mr. 'WARBURTON congratulated the House and the country that the time had at length arrived ►when they had a prospect of getting rid of the Game Laws—laws the most disgraceful and odious that ever existed. He certainly did not think the Bill perfect Mita present shape, but he hoped that it might be su modified in the Committee as to be mule acceptable to the country. He thought the Govern. Anent could on no account neglect to talc... the me.olure in its own hands, or at least give it such support as co en. sure its success. The Caine Liws tilled Our gaols with men guilty of no crime worthy of a punishment; and though he did not wholly approve of the present Bill, he ►would cheerfully assent to it, on the principle of enter. ing the small end of the wedge, anti hereafter driving it home. He knew of no such laws as our Game Laws in any other country, unless, indeed, it was in some of the Wends of the Pecifie Ocean. Ile hail read in a mariner's account of the Tonga Islands, that there the rats were preserved as game ; and though everybody might eat rats laugh)—nobody was allowed to kill them, but somebody descended from their Cods or their Kings. That wee the only country and the only case he knew of which furnished anything like a parallel to our Game Laws. He was satisfied that the time was at length come when these laws would be abolished ; and he hoped the House ►would now read the Bill a second time, resolved to. amend it in the Committee. Lord ALTHOUP agreed ht all the observations which had been made by his Noble Friend, and in those made by the Noble Lord who had introduced the Bill, and he could assure the Noble Lord that the Government would be very happy to co-operate with him in making any im provements which might he requisite in the Committee, and it would give the 11111 every attention. ' He was happy that the Bill had been brought in ; and he could assure the Hausa that the Government would • readily support any measures that could improve the present system. Ca.- tainlv that system which filled our gaols with hardy men, with the most active and intelligent of our population, and educated them in vice, associated them with criminals, and then turned them loose on the country prepared for all kinds of crimes—certainly, such a system could not be too soon altered. He should support the 11111, t h ough , tuqopo i it might be so altered in the Committee as to make the measure_ satisfactory to the House 40 the country. Mr. C. T.KNNANT would be happy to support a mea sure fur abolishing the Game Lawa ; but he could not support this measure, because it did not go far enough. He wished, indeed, that there should he no amendment of these laws, in order that their enermitivi might the sooner bring about their total abolition, The Bill did not go far enough, and Members would be disposed to go further it they only remembered that those laws were the rema i ns o f a bat barons age, and of an odioue and bar barous system of tyranny. it would only be necessary to keep the laws unaltered a little longer to . get rid of them as a boon ; he did not so consider it, fo r h e th oug ht th e altogether. The Hon. Member had spoken o f thi s Bill law of trespass was all that cvas requited to protect game. He had not read the Bill, but he knew what it was, and he should oppose the Bill at every stage. Ile was not known to the House, but he would divide it on thi s ques tion, in order that the country might see how many Mem bers would commit themselves to the principle of the Bill, and bow many would support the total abolition. The lion, Member concluded by moving that the Bill be read second - time that day six month s . Mr. WARBURTON explained that he was no more friendly to thou htwo than the Hun, Member, and he did net think that be gave Mt approbation to them by sup porting a Bill to amend them. Mr. W. DUNCOMBE expressed his astonishment at. the speech of the Hon. Member who had just sat down. He was astonished that the Hon. Gentleman should have taken such all extraordinary method of making kitneelf known to the House as to oppose a Bill which lie acknow ledged he had not read: The principle of the Bill was to render game saleable, which it had never yet been in this country, and that would be a great boon. Everybody agreed that the time was come when an alteration should be made in the Game Laws, and nobody supposed that that Reform ought to be delayed. If the Hon. Member's amendment were carried, it would at least delay the Re form till another year. He would cordially support the Bill. Mr. J. WOOD thought the Hon. Member who opposed the Bill, and who he knew had paid much attention to this subject out of doors, hail mistaken the operation of the 13111 and the effect of rejecting it. The Hon. Member was probably not aware, that by rejecting the Bill at that stage, he implied that he was hostile to its principle, or hostile to the improvement of the Game Laws. He re commended that the Bill should be made as perfect as possible in the Committee. In his own opinion, the owner of land should be the owner of the game on it; and the man with a single rood of ground should be as well entitled to kill game on it as the owner of many acres. As to tenants, their right to kill game should be settled like their ether rights, by contract. On these principles—which he considered just--he would amend the Bill ; and if it were not passed this year, many months would not elapse before it would be found as expedient to pass such a 13111, as the Bill itself was Just in principle. Mr. WYSE hoped that the Bill might be extended to Ireland, :as it would confer great benefits on that country. The Marquis of CIIANDOS said that tl.e Hon. Mem ber for Coventry hall not treated him fairly in describing his Bill as a provocative to crime ; he meant it to prevent crime. His own preserves which had been alluded to, were not kept, as hail been insinuated, by an army, but by the good will of the firmer.; and he relied on that touch more than an armed keeper for the security of his game. As to what had been said by the Hon. Member who had not read the Bill, he could assure him that he was not to he deterred by any sneers from proceeding with the Bill, or from proceeding with any measure which would give relief to the labourers, to whom he was as friendly as the Hon. Member or any other Hon. Gentleman. Mr. TYLER explained, that he said the Game Laws, and not the Noble Lord's Bill, were a provocative to crime. Mr. RUTHYEN hoped the amendment would be withdrawn. After a few words from Mr. Owes O'Cortwou, Mr. C. TENNAVT withdrew his amendment, and the Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of CHANDOS gave notice that he should, on Friday, present a petition from the West India interest, praying, that if slavery were abolished, the planters might receive a compensation for their loss. Petitions for the abolition of Negro Slavery were pre sented by Lord Howick, from Arbroath; by Mr. Watson, from Canterbury; by Mr. Ormsby Gore, from a place in Caernarvon ; by Mr. Wm. Duncombr, several from Ha i lifax and other places in Yorkshire: by Mr. Adeane, from some place in Norfolk; and by Sir Henry H. Bun. bury, front five places in Suffolk. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL made a few observations to correct a mistake which had been made by some Jour nal as to what fell from him last night on the subject of the Quarter and General Session; in reply to a question from an lion. Member, but there was so much noise in the House that we could not be certain of what the Hon. and Learned Gentleman said. We understood him to say, that be had not the slightest doubt, and that was the opinion of the Profession, that any Sessions held now, or intended to be held under the New Act, would be good and valid to all purpose.; and he hoped that all doubts would be at end. CORN LAWS,—SCARCITY AND FAMINE. Mr. JOHN WOOD, in moving for a number of re turns, to show the quantity of bonded corn on band, and the quantity imported from different countries since the beginning of the last year, took the opportunity to con demn, in strong terms, our present system of taking the averages. It was, be said, the most fallacious possible, and they could, at any time, be altered a few shillings by one or two great - speculators. lie knew that in some places not one particle of the corn that was consumed for several weeks ever formed part of the averages. lie wished, also, to take that opportunity to warn the Government and the country, that we were placed, he believed, in a very critical situation as to the quantity of corn in the country. The stock, he be hayed, was small, and was fast diminishing. He did not believe that there were above three hundred thousand quarters in bond, and he dreaded the approach of a famine price. There was no large stock in any part of the Con tinent, whence we could obtain supplies. One of the ar gineots, lie remembered, of those who supported the Corn Laws was, that the country ought not to depend for a supply of food on foreign countries; but it was impos oil& that it could grow food enough for all its inhabitants. The policy, therefore, of this country ought to be to en courage other countries to grow food for our use. What was the consequence, however, of the policy we had pur sued? The harvest last season was below the average, and there was no corn to he got from the continent. We could get none from the Baltic and none from the opposite coast. We might, perhaps, get a little from the Medi terranean or a little from America ; but he thought the supplies we could obtain were so short, that he would re commend capitalists, and persons engaged in this trade, to look about them and see whence they could obtain supplies. At present the price of wheat in the month of December was tite., and it was the opinion of experienced poisons, that by the month of June it would be 100s.—(No, no.) He believed it, and he thought that scarcity would best be prevented by the Government and the country directing their attention to the subject in time, and by such warn inge as he thought it his duty to give. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for the returns above-mentioned. Mr. CUItTEIS shared the Hon. Member's opinions as to the average, and thought the return would be useful Ile moat deny the latter part of the lion. Gentleman's statement, however, and believed that there was no ground for the fears he hail expressed. Mr. RUTIWEN also thought the state of the crops not so deplorahle as the Hon. Gentleman stated. Ile ad mitted that the averages were fallacious, but he could not agree that the Corn Laws were altogether wrong. It was necessary to give protection to the agriculturists, but he thought that protection might probably be better given County Sir H. Parnell, by a regular fixed duty than by the present method of of taking the averages.—Returns ordered.

REASONS ASSIONEI) 11Y A COUNTRY MAN for the FIRES rnd DISTURBANCES. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN. Stn,-.-sA countryman waiting at my house the other day during the completion of an ardor,, the following con versation took place :—Why, Tom, you have been making terrible alarm in the country with your fires and machine breaking.—Ah, Master, if you had but 16d. a day with a wife and four cbildsea to share it, as I have, perhaps you'd grumble and break machines, and wouldn't care mare than lif the whole country was on fire. But you must allow, Tom, that by breaking machines and firing stacks, it cannot make you better off.—This I know, replied he, that it cannot possibly make us worse ; for the machines rob us of our labour, and as for the corn, we get precious little of that; potatoes, milk, turnips, and meal mixed with potatoes is our chief food, and when out of work not enough of that. But you could get more from the parish, Tom, to make up ?—Not if I have work (replied he); and if even I could get as much from the parish without work as with it, do you think I like always to live upon charity as a beggar and a pauper, while I am strong and able to work, without feeling ashamed of my situation ; besides I take it from some who pay it that I know are nearly as badly off as myself. But can you see any good that will arise by injuring the farmer's property?—Yes, I can; he will not be able to pay the taxes, nor the Parson, and he'll suffer with us, awl then something must be dune by the Government. But what would you have the Government to do, Tom ? —Why, take off the taxes to be sure; when I lay out my lad. that I have boss working hard for all day, for the necessaries of life—tea, sugar, coals, beer, candles, soap, &c., don't I know that I give half that day's work (little as it 15) to Government—is that right? And have not the people complained and petitioned often and long enough—and have they not even been cut down by the soldier: (these very yeomanry) for only meeting to beg for a little reduction of their burdens? Well, Tom, but if these taxes were taken off, how could the national creditor, the fundholders be paid ?—Why, Master, I confess I don't understand much about national creditors or the funds; but I am told by our parish clerk that 'tis these very creditors—these fundholders and Parsons—that have done all the mischief, and made us all such a set of beggars ; they lent their money to Government to go to war with America (where my poor uncle Sam was killed) and France, because these nations don't like to be taxed and governed as we wished; now, if these creditors hadn't lent their money we wouldn't have lost it, or spent it, and as they lent it for a bad purpose, and it was lost in the wars, why who should suffer but they? Are our children to be born in debt, and their labour mortgaged to pay them? Well, Tom, there may be some reason in your observations, but they do not justify the destruction of property,-.--That may be true, Master, but we may as well be hung or transported as starved to death in the midst of plenty. But tell me, Tom, how you manage to fire the stacks at a distance, even when they are watched, without being detected ?—Well, if you would, or could, tell the King honestly, why these fires are made, I'd tell you how I think it's done, if you promise you'll not get me into any scrape about it—l promise ? Well, then, after loading a fowling-piece or an air-gun with powder, put in phosphorus and wet tow, the wetter the tow the longer it will he before it blase. Well, Tom, I will write immediately to my agent in London, to put it into The Sun, and as that goes all over the world, most lskely the King (God bless him) or some of his Minister, may hear what you say on the subject, and pay attention to it. I heartily wish they may (replied) he), and there will soon be an end to such horrid doings in the country. Perhaps I can get you the 500/. re ward, Tom.—l wouldn't take it to inform (replied be), if I could drive my coach for life by it. Yarmouth, Dec. 4, 1830. A SUBSCRIBER. TO THE EDITOR 01: THE SUN. Sza,—Although I may not be desirous of enrolling myself with those who would decry the late Administra tion, merely because that Administration had as its Chief a Military Premier, and consequently one whose acquired experience should have pointed out the camp rather than the Cabinet as the more appropriate arena for the exercise of his talents, yet must it be allowed that no man has ever met with less regret, no Minister ever been more unpopular with the people, than his Grace of Wel lington. Polybius, in drawing the character of a cer tain person in his Exc. Leg., 122, says that he was "xx-ra am) , 4no-tv cru:p.:)Aoc, xai ACei/Ixloc, X 2l irei;irEps . ala 1 1 3 e 01 rWS - 9 " —in his own nature remarkably noisy, talkative, and boasting." Some may suppose that the above quotation will apply to the late Ministry, and most undoubtedly the professions which went forth on their first acceptance of office have been but too little regarded, and by their authors, perchance, been remembered but to be ridiculed. May their fate serve as a severe moral lesson to the present teen, and may the Cabinet, as it is now constituted, prove itself worthy of all praise. Lord Grey has began well, he is supported in his Ministry by consummate talent, and if integrity be his pole star, he will succeed ; and in the present crippled state of our resources, with the agitated ocean of the con tinent, the former reckless expenditure of our national money,—if like a bold and good man he piloti us through these difficulties, he will deserve the eternal gratitude of his country. But I bad no intention of alluding in this letter to aught save the unjust and uotnerited attacks upon our new Lord Chancellor Brougham, than whom there is none more eapablo of undertaking the arduous duties of 1 that high office. Whether we regard the present Chan cellor as in the possession of a high political character, vast erudition, the most varied and splendid talents, the most unrivalled perseverance, or as the most uncompro. mising enemy to abuse, or as the enlightened champion of Reform in our legal Courts, he is alike worthy of our ad miration, and the attacks made upon him by Mr. Croker and others has been answered in the meat proper manner by himself. " Achilles bears no gall within his breast." I suppose that these gentlemen roust bare laboured under grime defect of memory, or they would most possibly have called to mind that most apposite quotation, " Judge not, lest ye also be judged." But we should not feel surprised at any abuse which is or hat; been heaped upon the present Chancellor, knowing, as we ought, that such must ever be the result expected. Hatred to his unsullied integrity will excite the one,— envy (or his stupendous and gigantic talents will stimulate the other, Invidue altercuis mocreacit rebus npimis." Nor. lib. I. Epis. 2, 1. 37. " The triviout at another's welfare pines." I am, Mr. Editor, your obedient servant, U. C. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,-1 am much surprised and deeply regret that my countrymen, who have long been famed for their generosity in rai►ing liberal subscriptions for the relief of their foreign neighbours when suffering front any calamity, should delay making collections to provide food, &c. for those mechanics and labou►ers who are willing to work, but from the " state of the times" cannot obtain employment. Shall it be said the English raged subscriptions for foreigners, while they suffered their own people to starve? Forbid it humanity ! I cannot presume to offer a complete plan for the ar rangement and distribution of subscription:, which 1 trust will be immediately raised ; hut 1 must indulge the hope that those who have the ability, inclination, and mesas, will perform this necessary work, this incumbent duty. Let subscriptions be raised in every city, town, and populous village throughout the kingdom. Let Com mittees be formed for the distribution of the money thus collected, and we may hope that a large portion of the poignant distress now existing will be relieved. Fiorn the extreme poverty of the labouring classes increased to a frightful extent, we cannot expect to afford them any real benefit unless subscriptions are liberally given by the wealthy ; and each person who in these times is so fortunate as to possess if but a little of this world's goods, should cheerfully contribute of that little—it is web known the large stuns that are collected even by penny subscriptions—all who have, ought to give at act isis like the present._ I am aware there is a class of persons (I trust neither numerous nor influential) who are ever ready with excuses to preserve their superabundance for their own gratifica tions. I shall not envy the future reflections of this class; but I rejoice in believing there are thousands of my country men who are willing to succour their fellow-creatures in distress. I would particularly address those wealthy sons of Britain, whose fortunes have been obtained by the labour of the mechanic ;---Can ye behold the advance of famine, pestilence, and death, attended with every aggrava tion, among the families of, those who toiled to make you rich, and not extend your aid to mitigate the present evils, and avert those horrors which your liberality can alone impede? There is another class of rich Olen who are not directly indebted to agriculture or commerce for their luxuries, but let them remember if the hands now com pelled to be idle had never laboured, the taxes by which they have been, and are supported, would nut have been raised. To all who have mitered their property through the industry of the world's: classes, they have eirdal claims for assistance in these days of suffering.. Ere I conclude I must remind my countemn tat with affluence, that they have an important duty tsp. form : and sure I am they will have bu t one regret that their means are not equal to their wishes. Ye who ire mothers, give as ye are able to provide food and elotldelr for the perishing offspring of your destitute conntrynso , who have toiled to produce for you and yo u rs " and luxuries. Ye who are single, spates few' aostk reil which would only purchase useless ornaments, to relief* your felluw.bsings from the pangs of hunger and cold. If, Mr. Editor, you will devote s corner of your vskuible Journal to the above, you will oblige, Sir, Your obedien AN t servant. ENGLISHMAN." ..Vor. 24. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slltt—As a constant reader of your very intelligent Pas. per, I infirm you of the first rising of our neighbOttril agricultural labourers,which was yesterday, but they did " damage.
