Mr. COBI3ETT rose to express his entire approbition of what had fallen from the Hon. M,mber for Bath ; he however wished, that that Hon. Gentleman, instead of stating that the people of England were the oppressors of Ireland, had stated that those oppressors were the grinding aristocracy of England. An HoN. MENIBER deprecated the strong language which had heen used by the Hon. Member for Bath, and expressed his determination of supporting his Majesty's Ministers in carrying forward the measure to the utmost. Another Hot.. MEMBER said that though an Irishman and an English Member, he could never sit in that House and hear observa•ions fall from Han. Members, almost amounting to the open preaching of rebellion. The SPEAKER. rose to order. He could not but think that the Hon. Member had entirely mistaken the statements of the Hon. Member for Bath; all that he un tiei stood that Hon.:Gentleman to state was, that the people of Ireland should oppose being slaves by all the means which the law would give them. That he took to be the sub.rance of the statement of the lion. Member. If he could have entertained such a nation as that which bad been just stated, be should have called the Hon. Member for Bath to order at once. ?RILES OF STOCKS Tiii. Rank Stock 31>er Cent. Red 3 per Cent Cons. 87% S 34 per Cent. shut Oitto Red gew 34 per Cent. 9.5161,414, 3 per Cent Ann. 17•.. Mr. FINN felt called upon to make a few observations upon that part of tbe Hon. Member for Bath's speech, in which he recommended Irish Members to withdraw from that House. He considered it a duty he owed to the people of Ireland to remain there, as the question of taxa tion would shortly come forward, and it was the duty of every Member to be at his post, to endeavour, if he pos siliy could, to reduce those taxes that bore so heavily on the people. The question of sinecures and unmerited pen sions would be brought forward, and it behoved Members to be in their places to reduce them—to put down useless expenditure of every description—to extend liberty in every way, anti to support triennial Parliaments and vote by ballot. If the recommendation of the Hon. Member for Bath were followed by the Irish Members, the conseqnt-nces would be that the different Members of the Government would hold their seats on very easy terms. The interests of the people of Ireland and England were united, and he for one was determined to do his utmost for the maintenance of that Union. 1 per Cent. 1826 . . !Link Long Ann. to expire Jan. 5, 19Ro shut Oct. 10, 1850 shut Jan. 5, 1860 l7 1-16 Jan. 5, 1880 - April 5, 1980 - Jan. 5, 1870 - PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS Austrian Bonds 9t; 54 Belgian Bonds B9 Ditto Account B9 ►k Brazilian Bonds Ditto Account 63% 3 Buenos Ayres Bonds Ditto Account 0434 Chilian Bonds ... 2314 Ditto Account Columbian Bemis l6 Ditto Account Mr. ROEBUCK cbserved that if the Hon.

JOHNSTONE presented several petitions from the county of Dumfries ; one from the town of Dumfries, for the better observance of the Sabbath ; front Vie pa rishes of Rnthvel, Dumcore, Laugh°line, Linlithgow, to the lime effect; and front the parishes of Moffat and Langhorne, for the abolition of negro slavery. Mr. WILKS presented a petition, which bore the signature of a gentleman of great eminence, and who had for the last 40 years been the most eloquent and it,fluenttal Dissenting Minister of the ci'y of Bath—the Rev. William James.—(Hear.) It bore also the signatures of the &aeons ant trustees or Argyll chapel in th ►t city. They stated that the chapel was built by private contri hutiona,—that there was a considerable debt secured upon it by mortgage; that so far from adding to the parochial burdens, they dispensed charity to the poor of their con. eregation, and that they felt greatly aggrieved by the in fliction of poor and church Sates, which were arbi trarily assessed upon the chapel.—(Hear, bear.) They prayed the House to adopt such measures as would exempt all places of religious wo•ship from poor rates and Church rates. The Hon. Member also presented a similar peii tinn from B 'ston, in Lincolnshire, signed by ten Dissenting ministers—B iptists, Unitarians, and Wesleyana—and by 678 respectable inhabitants of that town. They ex otessed their gratitude for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, but they felt grievously oppressed at the present defective system of parochial registration, and they prayed that all chapels be exempted from Church and poor rates, and that marriages and funerals might he permitted to he performed in them.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Member also presented a similar oetition from the Wesleyan Methodists of Ashburton, in Devonshire. He also presented a similar petition from the Dissenters of Bucknesfield, in the county of Devon. Mr. POTTER begged to support the prayer of the petition, and he hop d the Noble Lord would direct his attention to the grievances und• r which the Dissenters laboured, and that he would afford them that redress to which they were entitled. Mr. WILK S then presented a petition from the in habitants of Boston and its neighbourhood against negro slavery. It was signed by several clergymen of the Established Church, as well as Dissenting Minis•ers. He also presented a similar petition from the Dissenters of the Baptist persuasion, residing in Honeham, i❑ Stranhrook. The petitioners considered that it was altogether inconsis tent with the principles of Christianity. The Hon. Member then presented sundry petitions from different places, one from Boston, signed by the Brewers and Re r ai 'ers of Beer the. e, praying that no such Committee nigh• be appointed of which notice had been given. They stated that the labouring classes, since the passing of the last act, had been compelled to pay an extravagant price for that article, owing to the monopoly of the brewers, and in con sequence of such monopoly the beer was of a ♦ery inferior quality. Previous to the poising of that measure they were able to sell good beer at a reduction of one-third of the present price. He also had to present a petitio❑ from the inhabitants of Ashburton, Devon, praying that the Factory Bill might pass. The petitioners were of opinion that no child ought to be permitted to work under the age of nine years, anil that the employment of children under that age should be reduced to ten hours. He was sure that that npinioii pervaded throughout the whole of England and It eland, and he sincerely hoped that the House would pass that Bill. The Hon. Member also presented petitions, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath, from the Dissenters of the independent congregation of Mallow, in Cork, from Dr. Newman, of Bow, from the Rev. Dr. Bowles, of Hackney, and from the Minister and congrega tion of Albion Chapel, Moorgate. Colonel WILLIAMS presented a petition from the inhabitants of Ashton-under-Lyne, to the same effect. Also, a petition from Preston, in the county of Lancaster, in favour of the Ten Hours Factory Bill, and another peti. tion from Ashton-under-Lyne, to the same effect. The Hon. Member then presented a petition signed by 3,300 persons, against the Irish Suppression of Disturbances Bill, from Ashton-under-Lyne. He then read the Petition at length, and supported its prayer. It was, however, with reluct ance that he opposed the Ministers en this occasion, for, he thought, it was to their predecessors the House ought to impute all the evils now complained of in Ireland. (Hear, hear). For ages passed, one Administration after another had done every thing to oppress and nothing to relieve Ireland. (Hear, hear.) The present Administration had had no time to carry its good wishes into complete effect, but it had done what it could to relieve Ireland.—(Chegrs.)

He had heard the other night of two Hon. Members who were at first opposed to this Bill, but who had now become converts to its The SPEAKER reminded the Hon. and Gallant Member that he was straggling out of the matter of the the petition. Col. WILLIAMS, after a few more observations against the courtmartial clause, sat down. The petition was then laid upon the table. FACTORY BILL.—LEEDS PETITION. Mr. STRICKLAND said that he had a petition to present, of great interest snd importance at the present moment, in favour of the Bill now before the House for limiting the duration of the labour of children in factories —(Hear.) It was from Leeds, which, if not the largest, was, perieaps, the most affluent manufacturing town of this country. This petition had been stated to him to be 24t1 feet long, and signed by 16.000 persons. It was the time at which this petition was brought for ward, and the distinct manner in which it expressed the sentiments of the petitioners, which made him think it of importance ; but there was only one sentence in it to which he wished to call the particular attention of Hon. Members. In that sentence the petitioners begged to hear their testimony to the accuracy of the c%idence given before the Select Committee appointed by that Hon. House to inquire into that subject, and parti cularly that portion of it which had reference to the pro- COURSE OF EXCHA Amsterdam C.f.' 12 atto, at sight Rotterdam 2 U 12 3 Antwerp 12 8 Hamburg M.S. 13 1 51 Altona 13 151 Paris, 3 days' sight 25 90 Ditto 2 U. 26 15 Bordeaux 26 20 Berlin Frankfort on Maine, Ex.

Mr. W. WHITMORE was of opinion that the utmost freedom should be given to the commerce of this country from all restrictions and monopolies. He sincerely trusted that his Majesty's Government would seriously direct their attention to this subject, as 11,- was fully convinced by that means ;done could the difficulti s under which the commercial and shipping interests of the country laboured, be removed. Mr. EWART presented a petition from Glaseow to the same effect. Also a petition from the hankers, merchants, and householders of Liverpool, complaining of corporation abuses, corporate preferences, and of the want of adequate inquiry and control. The Hon. Member also presented a petition froin the Jews of Liverpool, praying for the removal of their disabilites. Lord SANDON expressed himself favourable to the removal of these disabilities. _ Mr. GRANT also presented several petitions from the inhabitants of Liverpool ; also a petition from the inha hitants of Liverpool. praying for a relaxation of the severity of the criminal laws; a'so a petition from the Commissioners of police, praying for the introduction of poor laws into Ireland.

We have often had occasion to speak in terms of praise of the Government plan of education for Ire land, and if any thing could induce us to think more favourably of it than ever, it would be the opposition of Earls RODEN, WICKLOW, and such " small deer." These men never, by any happy accident, take a bold, liberal, or comprehensive view of a question. They look at it in bits—they criticise it in fractions, or parts of fractions. They split straws, and think they are statesmen. They cavil on the ninth part of a hair, and fancy themselves miracles of ratio cination. The Bishop of BRISTOL is a glaring instance of this petty, teazing, captious mode of dealing with a great question. He objected to the Government plan, not because it was a visionary scheme, worthy only to emanate from UTOI'IA or EL DORADO; not because it was incompetent to produce the effects proposed by it—namely, to diffuse sounder habits of thought and feeling throughout Ireland, by the introduction of a beneficent and enlightened system of education, which should " bruise the heel" of party spirit, and raise the sister country in the scale of civili zation ;—the good Bishop had no such objections as these to offer; they were beneath (or peradventure above) the consideration of a divine of his heaven ward turn of mind; but he objected to the plan toto, because, in the version of the Scriptures pro posed to be introduced among Catholics and Pro testants equally, the word Shiloh had been changed for some other phrase! And so the cause of nationta education is to be made subservient to a dyssyl. lable I Ireland is to be sacrificed, that" Shiloh" may be preserved ! If there be "no Song," there is to be" no Supper I" Verily this is the objection of objections—the quibble of quibbles. We defy even fatuity itself to go beyond it. The Bishop of EXETER'S opposition, in point of principle, was pretty nearly as ridiculous. Its only superiority lay in the tact with which it was brought forward—in the art with which its absurdities were thrown into the back ground, and its showy sophisms thrust prominently forward. His Lordship is a perfect master of all the leger demain of logic. He is so admirably " cunning of fence," that he will spit you,before you have the least idea of the peculiar delicacy of your position. But he is a mere cold, glittering rhetorician—one of those born sophists, who will take up the principle this day, that they have thrown aside the day be fore;—who will prove that black is white, or white is black, just as the whim of the moment inclines, and with whom all consistency is a mere farce. From the circumstance of his Lordship oppo sing the Education Bill so furiously last night, we think it mere than probable that he will be found among its warmest advocate! the next time it it, brought forward. Had he advocated it now, we should have anticipated his future oppo sition;—but we remember his nimble x•voitt- i.t 72 LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1833. tracted hours of labour imposed upon children in factories, and the consequent destruction of their health and morals. He (Mr. Strickland) was one of those who had devoted great attention to the evidence taken before the Cornmitte , at the time, sad then feared to prejudge the case ; but now that the Bill was before the House, and that imputations had been thrown out against that evidence, on the ground of its being cx parte, and capable of receiving an answer, he begged to state what his own impression of that evi dence was. He thought the reading of it would not give the loblic a full and correct idea of the real state of the case, or that any thing else could, except a sight of the cripples who were brought before the Committee to be examined. He regretted that the Bill brought in some years back by Sir John Hobhouse had met with the opposition it did, for he was confident that it was the limitation of that Bill to the cotton manufacture which had excited a great part of the present discontent. He was now decidedly of opinion that nothing short of the ten hour Bill could satisfy the feelings of the public, or be productive of any use. 'Chia Bill must be tried for a season, and if it were found to he impracticable, they had only again to legislate upon the subject. Petition laid upon the table. The Honour able Member presented a similar petition from Ga mershal, in the county of York. Also petitions from Pudsey, near Leeds, in favour of the abolition of slavery, and separate petitions from the valley of Todtnordon against tithes, the taxes on knowlege, on soap, malt and hops, and in favour of the ballot. Mr. FRYER said that no one was more anxious than himself to relieve the misery of these children, and the working classes generally; but be was satisfied that the Factories' Bill would prove nothing but a delusion. This was not the way in which the distress of the country, could he remedied. The only relief that could he affnileil to a manufacturing population was the reduction of the duty on their raw materials, and the abolition of the tax on bread.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Foreign powers were rapidly approaching us, in the cheapness of our manufac tures; and, in same particulars, absolutely rivalled Us...—. How was it possible to expect, that, with a duty of twelve per cent. on the raw material, and of twenty per cent. upon corn, that relief could be given to the labourers, either infant or adult ? They might talk of relieving them, but all attempts to relieve them must be delusive, whilst you persist in creating an artificial scarcity for the purpose of making them pay a high price for their bread.—( Hear, hear.) The only way of giving the poor starving population of the country real relief, was to give them a fair chance by reducing the price of food, and con sequently the nece•sity of excessive labour, and the tax upon their raw materials, and thus enable them to compete with foreign nations. Mr. ROBINSON agreed with the Hon. Member who had just sat down, but said it was difficult all at once to make such an alteration in the taxes as would afford the manufacturing classes relief, and the question was, whe ther in the mean time they would allow the present sys tem to go on, and allow the children to labour mote than ten hours. On Tuesday next he meant to brio ; ; forward a proposition fur the relief of the manufacturing classes. Mr. POTTER, in justification of the cotton ma nuf cturers, begged to say that the abuses complained f did not rest exclusively with them.—( Hear.) When Hon. Members spoke of supporting the Bill, they surely did not mean to support its provisions. Did they mean to support a measure giving the power to Magis trates to commit the masters to prison fur twelve months? Did they mean to support a measure which gave magis tr ites a power to levy a fine of 2001. on the masters? If they did mean to support a measure with such provisions, he would tell them they would strike a blow on the cotton trade, from which, in his opinion, it would never recover. He was decidedly favourable to an alteration in the hours or labour, but not to be effected by a Bill like this. Mr. WHITMORE (as we understood) called the at tention of the House to the evidence given before the Coin. mittee by a young man who gave a history of his life for one week, in the service of a Mr. Brown, for the purpose of showing the improbability, indeed the all but impossibi lity of the truth of the tarts to which he gave his testi mony. The boy was fourteen years of age, and stated th it lie bad wrovght uninterrupted y, with the exception of 11 hours. for the spice of 139 hours, in one week, and when he came to Sunday he went to church twice, and did not fall asleep during the service. The Hon. Member did not think that more was necessary to convince the House that iv eat exaggeration had prevailed in the statements made in evidence betore the Cointnittee. Indeed he believed it quite impossible for any man to believe the state went which he hail just alluded to.—(Hear, hear.) An HON. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn considered that the distress of the labouring cli•ses, and all the evils sought to he remedied, were likely to be exaggerated, in place of being remedied by this measure. Mr. GUEST thought that eleven hours, richer than ten or twelve, would be likely, as a general provision, to do good. After a few words from Mr. FIELDEN, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. GILLON presented a petition from the Associate Congregation of Airdery, in favour of a better observance of the Sabbath. Also a petition from the inhabitants of Lanark and its vicinity, for an immediate and total aboli tion of negro slavery. The Hon. Member also presented petitions to the same effect from Breckin ; from the town and parish of Kilbarchan ; trom the inhabitants of a parish in the city of Dublin ; from the parish of St. Mary and St. Peter ; and from the parish of Holm patrick, in the county of Dublin. The lion. Member then went on to present other petitions from his native county against the Irish Coercive Bill. The first petition on that subject was from the workmen employed in the iron and steel works at Monkland, in the county of Lanark, in the vicinity of one of the towns which he represented. The next petition was from the inhabitants of Balfron, in the county of Stit ling. The petitioners stated that they regarded the Irish Coercive Bill as the means by which the must arbitrary and despotic power, which would by and-by he placed in the f ands of the Tories, who had always been enemies of the ptople and the advocates of oppression wherever it existed.—(Loud cries of Hear.) They considered the support rendered by the Tories to Ministers on this occasion as ominous of all that was dis m-il and ruinous to the lights and liberties of the country, They regarded the inopportune haste with which the B• 11 had been pressed through the House of Peers as a prelude to their rejection of every measure of wholesome practical Reform. They prayed the House to throw out the Irish Bill to save the Ministers from the consequences of their own infatuated conduct, and prevent Ireland from being destroyed by such violent and unconstitutional measures, and at the same time to introduce such measures as would relieve and pacify that hitherto ill-governed country, namely, the extinctistn of tithes, and a judicious system of poor laws. The Hon. Member then presented another petition to the same effect from the parish of Eaglesham, in the county of Renfrew. 'The Hon. Member then presented a similar petition from a village in Renfrewshire ; from the working classes of Edinburgh ; from the barony of Gla-bow, Dun fermline, and front the Political Unton of Galstone, in Ayrshire. The Hon. Member considered that the feelings of the people against this Bill grew stronger and stronger every day, and was convinced, in consequence of the vote of last night, by which Ireland w is to be placed under the con trol /of red-coated tribunals, that additional disgust would be excited against the measure,and the House would lose the con fidence of the country, which it could only regain by the establishment of vote by ballot and triennial Parliaments. The Hon. Member then presented a petition from Falk land, in favour of vote by ballot ; from the spinners of Dundee, in favour of the Factories Bill; from Renfrew, for the repeal of the duties on butter, cheese, starch, and snap, and all articles consumed by the productive classes. From Lanark, praying for a redress of grievances, which the petitioners attributed to the immense debt under which the country laboured, created by unnecessary wars.—(Hear, hear, bear.) The Hononourable Member stated, that the distress of that part of the country from which the petition came, had been increasing for the last fourteen years, and had now arrived at a height which it was frightful to contemplate. He was convinced, that, unless the grievances of the lower orders were put an end to, the safety of the empire was in d....nger. The Hon. Member also presented a petition from the Mercers' Corn • pany of Edinburgh and Leith, ;raying the House to re lieve them ft otn the paytnent of tithe in fish, on the North Leech, The parsons, not coot nt with what they took from the land and air, were determined to dive into the sea, and enforce tithe s of the contents of the deep. Mr. FITZSIAION supported he prayer of four of the pe titions against the Irish Coercive Bill, which he had placed in the hands of the Hon. Member (Mr. Dillon) in conse quence of the certainty of his not being able to present them before the passing of the Bill, in consequence of the low station of his name Upon the list. The Hon. Member begged to tender his thanks and those of his countrymen to the people of Scotland, who had come forward so man fully and crowded the tables of the House with their peti• tions against the despotic and unnecessary Bill. The Finn. Member was proceeding to decry the measure, when An fiox. MEMBEP. (whose name we could not ascer tain) rose to deprecate the course he was adopting, as tendin , to prevent the presentation of petitions by other lion. Members. _ _ _ After some observations from several other HON AIEM. HERS and the SPEAKER, Mr. FITZSIMON gave way. Sir JOHN MAXWELL challenged the Government to produce a single petition from his country in favour of this Bill. Sir G. SKIPWITH presented petitions from the pt rishes of Boswell, Brecknock, Stonereigh, and Atherstone, in the county of Warwick, and from the minister, church wardens, and overseers of the poor of the parish of Ruttley, akin in the county of Warwick. for the better observance of the Sabbath The Hon. Baronet also presented peti tions from the above parishes against the Beer Bill. Mr. SINCLAIR presented petitions for the better ob servance of the Sabbath, from the parishes of Dingwall, Kirkwall, Ensaw Halness, Roagh, Oldkirk, Roxbridge, and other parishes, to the same effect. He also presented several petitions from the Royal Burgh of Dingwall, from the Royal Burgh of Wigtown, and from the parish f Esterage, for the abolition of slavery. The Hon. Member also presented twenty petitions against Church patronage, from Perth, from the parish of Cray, from the inhabitants of the: Royal Burgh of Wigtown, B. Persair, Waikin Sleaze'', in the Isle of Sky; from the parish of Portsnole, in the county of Ross; from Strom ness, from Rittlesey, from Aldree, from Kindler, and from Ray. The Hon. Member stated, that patronage was a grievance which at present existed in every part of Scotland, and there was hardly a large town in Scotland from which petitions hail not been sent on that suhjrct. He would instance Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Paisley, and many other places, in all of which the public voice had been raised against Church patronage. He had received a letter in which it was mentioned that the minister of the parish was placed there by a person who resided many miles off. He was quite convinced that this grievance should be taken into the consideration of the House. .. - Captain CLIETWYND presented a petition from Staf ford, signed by the, Magistrates, Clergy, and other re spectable inhabitants of that place, pray.ng for the better observance of the Sabbath, and atainNt the Ber Act. He most cordially agreed with the prayer of the Petition, and particularly with that part of it which related to the beer shops.—(Hear, hear). Captain DUNLOP presented a petition from Dunbar ton against the system of lay patronage in Scotland—also two petitions from Kilmarnoch, in favour of the better observance of the Sabh all. Mr. DAVID ROCHE presented a petition from Lime rick, against the abuses of the Corporation of that town. Lord ALTHORP presented a similar petition from Coleraine.—Both referred to the Corporation Committee. Lord ALTHORP presented two petitions from Titch marsh and Bei by, in Northamptons!dre, in favour of t• e better observance of the Sabbath. Also, a petition from Mr. Tower and Mr. Robinson, one the Minister of the Independents, and the other of the Baptists of Kettering, praying the Hous- not to pass any law for the better ob servance of the Sabbath, but to repeal those already in existence. They t bought the observance of the Sabbath a sacrdd duty, but considered that it was a duty which ought not to be enforced by civil enactments. He (Lord Althorp) could not go the length of these Dissenting Ministers, but he should be very sorry for a ny measure the House might adopt, to interfere with the innocent amusements and occupations of the poor.—(Cheers.) Also a petition from the retail dealt rs in beer of Macclesfield, praying that they may be placed upon an equility with publicans. Also a petition from the prisoners in the gaol of Newcastle, for an im provement in the County Court. Also a petition from Cookestown in Ireland, for the abolition of slavery.—A . l the above petitions laid upon the tab'e. LIVERPOOL SHIPOWNERS' PETITION. Air. EWART rose to present a petition from a number of Ship,iwners of Liverpool, who owned 100,000 tons of British shipping. They prayed for no additional restric tion upon trade, but, on the contrary, for an extension of it.—(Hear, hear.) He should not do justice to the peti tioners if he did not read the pe.iti n at lentil. "TO THE HONOURABLE TIIE COMMONS OF' THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "THE HUMBLE PETITION OF THE UNDER SIGNED OWNERS OF BRITISH VESSELS TRADING FROM THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL. ",Sheweth—Thagyour petitioners labour under many disach an tages in competition with foreign shipping, in consequence of the higher cost of their vessels and the greater expense of navi gating them, in the charges for provisions, stores, and wages ; and also to their being subjected to many imposts to which fo reign ships are not liable, such as the stamp duties on policies of insurance being one quarter, and often one half, per cent. upon the value of their property on each voyage. The South Sea duty, still levied upon shipping, of one shilling and sixpence per ton homewards, although goods outwards have for some time back been free from that duty. The Greenwich Hospital dues of six pence per month for each of the crew during the voyage, and the dread of the impress service—that most unjust, tyrannical, iniquitous practice of manning the navy, resorted to in time of war, and which deters many youths of respectable connections from embracing the sea ervice as a profession. " That in addition to the above serious disadvantages, your petitioners, in their trade with Brazil, Cuba, St. Domingo, Java, Sincapore, Manilla, and the Indian Archipelago, are deprived of a large portion of homeward freight, in consequence of the chief productions of those countries leing prohibited from use or con sumption in this kingdom. "Th it for the reasons before mentioned, British shipping cannot be navigated in competition with American and other foreign shipping, when carrying cargoes to foreign ports, as be sides the extra expense at which British vessels are navigated, they also incur a further charge for commission and manage ment to a foreign agent, and have to perform a second voyage in ballast to a British port, or return in ballast to a more distant one for further employment. " That Brazil alone furnishes freightage for one hundred and twenty thousand tons of shipping anima ly in sugar and coffee, nearly the whole of which is imported as returns for Britishma nufactures, and were the productions of that country admitted for use or consumptia n in this kingdom, they would be brought inwards and a great part thereof re-exported in British vessels. " That St. Domingo, Cuba, Manilla, Sincapore, and the Eastern Islands, likewise furnish upwards of two hundred thou sand tons of similar productions, the greater of which, as well as the produce of Brazil, is carried by American and other foreign shipping to European ports, although actually the property of British merchants, or received in return for British manufac tures. " That the British trade with China is strictly confined to the Hon. East India Company's ships, whilst Americans, Danes, Swedes, and other nations are permitted to sail from British ports with British goods, freighted on British account, and to return with cargoes of tea and other Chinese prosiuctions,to the various ports of Continental Europe, whilst the vessels owned by your peti tioners are precluded from every share of this profitable and ex tensive carrying trade. " That your petitioners attribute the present depressed state of the British Shipping Interest, mainly to those unjust and impolitic monopolies and restrictions, and that if the trade with the before-named countries wereplaced on a fair and liberal basis, additional employment would be given co a large extent of Bri tish tonnage, now tying idle in the ports of this kingdom, or un profitably employed in vain competition with foreign shipping, trading to foreign ports. " Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Honour able House will take this their petition into your most serious and immediate consideration ; and that an interest, hitherto considered so important to the welfare and protection of this kingdom, may not be suffered to go to decay, whilst the marine or our American and Continental rivals prospers by its de struction. " And your Petitioners will ever pray." snost sincerely supported the prayer of the petition. He could see no sources of relief fiona the grievances and depression under which the country now laboured, but from a diminution of taxation and the extension of com merce. Every removal of the unjust and impolitic restriction and monopoly which had hitherto incumbered and impeded the prosperity of the country necessarily would go toward the diminution of taxation under which the country laboured. He hoped that while the people looked to the direct taxa tion, which was more immediately visible, they would not shut their eyes to that indirect system of taxation arising from commercial restriction and monopoly, which not only indirectly pressed upon them, but on the com mercial relations of the country. He hoped the subject i e possible, y b e reduced, would uoli the manufacturers not having materials would meet w i t h th e f u ll cons id era tion o f Government. It was conne c t e d w i t h sugar re fining trade, a trade con siderably to carry on th e i r wor k. H e h o p e d that Ministers, as soon as give them relief. Lord SANDON was p re par e d generally to support the prayer of the petition, although he could not enter into a discussion of all the details contained in it. Each sun • tence admitted of a long and important discussion ; but at present he could only say that he generally ap proved of i ts prayer. His wish was, that as touch restriction as possible should be taken off commerce : but he did not agree, in that particular, to the full extent of the Petition, that all articles of foreign produce should he admitted to free use in this country. Even on the pro duce of our own Colonies there were restrictions ; and it would introduce complete confusion into the whole com mercial connection s of the country to grant the prayer of the petition to its full extent. Ile expressed his concurrence in that part of it which directed the attention of Govern ment to the duty on Marine Insurances, which pressed very heavily on the commerce of this country. He hoped /0~ 0 (,)6 / (--(--7/ Lions of old—we remel _....erous way in which he pirouetted on the Catholic question ; how he " changed hands, and down the middle," first with a Papist, secondly with a Protestant, partner, and are consequently in daily expectation of a si milar exhibition. Lord PLUNKET'S, and more especially the Arch bishop of DUBLIN'S, speech, were conclusive on the question. His Grace furnished proofs in every line of his Christian earnestness and sincerity; and so also did Lord PLUNKET, though, with him, all such proofs were superfluous; for who can possibly doubt his good faith in the cause of Protestantism, when co many clerical young PLUNKETS are vouchers for their father's orthodoxy ? The Fifth Report of the Petition Committee, clming down to March 12, has been printed, and shows a progre , sive increase of petitions against the liish Disturbances Bill, The total number of petitions, up to that time, was 194 and of signatures 118,687. Of these the most remarkable for the number of their signatures were those from Warrington, 922 signatures; Hud dersfield, 5,655; Deptford and Greenwich, 3,778; Padiham, 1,140; Southwark, 1,139; Gingleton, 936; Bath, 3,828; Dewsbury, 1,755; Mansfield, 1,075 ; Brighton, 1,460; Derby, 2,600; St. Mary's C onmel, 1,910; Staly-bridge, Ashton-under-Lyne, 3,000; Hamilton, 1,472; Kilmarnock, 1,143; and Liverpool, 1,800. The Slavery question is postponed for a month, Lord ALTHORP promising to bring it forward as a Government measure. German Papers, received this day, contain no news of interest. Great mortality prevails in Mu nich, occasioned by fevers of all kinds, measles, and small-pox, which carry off people of all c'.a•ses. The extraordinary mortality expired an alarm of cholera. A naval officer, in the service of Don PEnno, has arrived in London for the purpose of recruiting sea. men. Several hundreds of experienced and respec table men are, we hear, ready for embarkation. We are assured, from an authentic source, that no regular deputation from the West India Com mittee, has waited upon Lord GODERICII for some Mays past, and that any communication with that Minister, by gentlemen interested in the West India Colonies, must for the present be considered is unconnected with the committee of planters, who Await), for the present, at least, from becoming parties to the plan which the Ministers have in view. No fresh accounts from Oporto have, we under stand, been received by Government ; but the report of Admiral SARTORIUS having been super seded has reached the Admiralty in such a way that it Seems entitled to credit. Captain CROSIIIE, wino is said to have been appointed to succeed him, is a brave officer of the Cochrane school. He was with Lord COCHRANE in the brilliant affair of the Esme ralda, during which he received several severe wounds, and was also the chief officer under his Lordship in Greece. With such a commander there is little doubt of some dashing co-operation on the part of the fleet. Three more clauses of the„ lris't Coercive Bill were die• posed of last night, and some further modifications con sented to by Ministers. This is as it should be ; and we can honestly assure his Majesty's Government, that the more they modify the obnoxious clauses, the more will tht y acquire the confidence and support of the country. Let them be just, and fear not,—but let them also be merciful. The motion for repealing the Assessed Taxes is deferrep till the 30th of April, to give Lord ALTHORP an oppor tunity of seeing what can be done after the Quarter's re venue is made Hp. We are compelled for want of room to defer the account of the deputation that waited on his Lordship yesterday on this subject. MARYLEBONE ELECTION.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, at noon, Peter Laurie, Esq., the Deputy-re, turning Otticet appeared on the hustings, in order to ascertain the numbers, so as to make a proper return. A great crowd assembled opposite the hustings, long before the fortunate can. didate arrived. The return made was as follows :—for Whalley, Hope, 2,055 Murray l9l Murphy, Sir S. WHALLEY then came forward to the front of the hustings, when he was greeted by his friends, and assailed by the hootings of the partisans of the defeated candidates. The LORD MAYOR said, in consequence of the return, it was his duty to state that Sir S. Whalley, Knight, was return. ed to serve in Parliament for this boron h. He lamented the apathy which had been evinced in this borough, which contain ed 8,901 persons eligible to vote; at the last election 6,076 per sons voted, but at the present there had only 5,837 exercised their franchise. Sir S. WHALLEY then came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He said he felt bound to return his grateful acknowledgments for the exertions which had been made on his behalf—he had to contend with .reat interest and wealth, and he had come off more than conqueror.—(Applause.) He had advocated the great cause in which the people had embarked— he was animated to press forward, from the recollection of the struggle which had been made on a former occasion. Messrs. MURRAY and MURPHY then addressed the meet ing, after which it separated. !tuber he clext EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) _ A Quarterly General Meeting of the Proprietors took place to-day, which was very numerously attended. After some routine business had been disposed of, a question was asked re. specting the renewal of the Charter, to which, however the Chairman gave no definite reply.

The wind having shifted to the westward, we may soon expect to have some direct accounts from that quarter. THE FUNDS. Our squadron, we hear, has returned to the Downs from the coast of Holland ; and we understand that Dedel, the new Dutch Ambassador, will be presented to his Majesty this day, after which negotiations are to commence.
