When I employed the ordinary pebbles I never failed to experience in the morning a great iritation in the eyes. Since I have used your ad mirable glasses I suffer from no inconvenience of the kind, and my vision is much improved. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend, Dr. Blundell, for having drawn my atten ion to the subject. tielieve me to be yours, very respectfully, "T. J.

The Hon, Member presented two other petitions to the same effect. Mr. PinsIDARVE presented a petition from the magistrates, clergymen, &c. of Redruth, complaining of the increase of crime in that neighbourhood, which they attributed to the want of a more efficient constabulary force. Mr. BENNETT presented a petition from the town of Hindon, Wiltshire, and its vicinity, in favour of the Corn-laws, and complaining that if those laws were abolished, the agricultural laboure:s would be thrown out of employment—(Hear, hear)—and begging the House not to suffer those laws to be repealed; also a petition from Sutton Mandeville in the same county to the same effect. Mr. WARD presented a petition from the Magis trates, Bankers, and Merchants, of the town of Greenock, representing, in the strongest terms, the in jurious effects of the Corn-laws, signed by three hun dred persons ; another petition to the same effect, from a town in the neighbourhood of Glasgow ; and another, with a similar prayer, from a small island in the Firth of Clyde, complaining that the Corn laws prevented persons of all classes from obtaining employment. One of the petitions prayed that evidence might be heard at the bar of the House. Mr. G. W. WOOD presented a petition from Ken dal, signed by several farmers and persons connected with agriculture.

The petitioners stated that they conceived the marriage rite to be a religious insti tution, and observing a Bill before that House for the amendment of the Act for the Registration of Births, Deaths, and Marriages, they call the atten tion of the House to the provision which required the presence of a Registrar in order to render the marriage valid. The petitioners also complained that they were obliged to publish the bans of marriage before the Board of Guardians instead of before the congregation, and they prayed that these clauses might be amended. CORN•LAWS. Mr. BRAMSTON presented petitions from various parishes in Essex against the present system of Corn laws. , Mr. E AST H 0 PE:presented a petition from Leicester, signed by 13,000 inhabitants, and agreed to at a public meetings of the inhabitants. The petitioners depre cated the continuing of the existing Corn-laws. as injurious alike to the agriculturist and the manufac turer. They stated, that unless in fancy articles, the manufacturing trade was so completely broken up by competition abroad, that it was nearly destroyed. They further stated, that at a time when the working classes were, by the operation of the New Poor-law Act, driven upon their own re sources, it was the more important and just that they should be relieved from all taxes on bread. The peti tioners prayed for a total repeal of the Corn-laws, in which hi (Mr. Easthope) cordially concurred. The Hon. Member then presented a petition from another place in Leicestershire, signed by seven thousand persons, to the same effect, and praying to be heard by Counsel at the Bar. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND EXTENSION. Mr. BLAIR presented seven petitions from places in Wigtonshire, complaining of destitution, and praying for a grant in favour of Church extension in Scotland. CORN-LAWS.

SMITH presented a petition from a parish in Essex, praying that the House would agree to no alteration in the present Corn-laws. Mr. BAINES presented a petition from the Town Council of Lancaster, praying for the total and imme diate repeal of the Corn-laws. Sir G. STRICKLAND presented petitions from Marsden. Settle, Todmorden, and another place, with a similar prayer.

Colonel SIBTHORP presented ten petitions from different parts of Lincolnshire against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Sir E. FILMER presented several petitions against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. EATON presented petitions from 22 parishes in Cambridgeshire, to the same effect. Similar petitions were presented by Mr. Dick from parishes in the county of Essex ; by Mr. Breadley, from Nahum, Girton, and other places in the East Riding of the county of York ; and by Sir W. Heathcote, from parishes in Hampshire. Mr. DENNISTOUN presented a petition from Glasgow signed by 43,000 persons praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws.

Mr. GROTE presented a petition from Margate, signed by nearly 1,000 persons, praying for the imme diate abolition of the Corn-laws. This petition had in a great degree originated from the circumstance of the Hon. Member for East Kent (Sir E. Knatch bull) having stated that the public feeling in that county was nearly unanimous in favour of the Corn-laws. Also a petition from Honiton, in favo ur o f the Poor law Amendment Act , but praying for alteration in the clauses relating to pauper lunatics, and in the case of aged and infirm paupers . Lord W 0 RS LEY p resented a petition f rom a parish in Lincolnshire , praying that no a l terat i on be made in the Corn-laws. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL presented a alteration in petition from a place in Kent, ligainst any the Corn-laws. THEATRICAL AMUSEMENTS. Mr. DUNCOMBE had a petition to present, com plaining of an arbitrary restriction on the amusements of the people. The petition was front the proprietors and managers of Drury-lane Theatre, who complained of the unjust interference of the Lord Cham berlain with the amusements o f the p eop l e on the Wednesdays and Fri da y s in Lent.—( H ear , hear.) The Hon. Member went on to say, that while theatrical performances were prohibited in Westminster, it was only necessary to cross OY.ford-street—(Order, order)—which was not under the jurisdiction of the Lord Chainberlain.—(Loud calls of " Order.") He believed he was perfectly in order. It was laid down he believe:l the other day, that when a petition was presented complaining of grievances, the prayer of that petition should be immediately discussed. He appre hended this was a complaint of grievance of that de scription. The SPEAKER intimated the Hon. Member was not exactly correct in the view he had taken. Mr. DUNCOMBE said the petitioners complained that they were deprived of a third part of their income by the interference of the Lord Chamberlain. If the complaint were not immediately discussed Lent would be over, and, according to the old saying, while the grass was growing the horse would starve. It was his intention immediately to move an Address to her Ma jesty, that she would graciously please to issue her orders to the Lord Chamberlain not to restrict in the City of Westminster, those amusements which were permitted in other parts of the country. He would at once bring up the petition and take the sense of the House upon the subject. He would beg leave now to move an Address to her Majesty.—(Cries of " No, order.") He was quite surprised at his Hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham. He was once a great stickler for the rights of the people. He had been present when his Hon. Friend was a candidate for Westminster, and bad heard him advocating those rights on the hustings. Sir GEORGE CLE.V.K said he felt it was out of order for any Hon. Member to interfere with a notice of motion before the House ; but a motion could not be brought forward without notice. Mr. P. THOMSON suggested that the petition be printed, and that the Hon. Member give notice of a motion for to-morrow for that purpose. Mr. DUNCOMBE said, if the Noble Lord would only say that he would take the subject into consideration, so that the rational amusements of the people might not be interrupted, he would consent to withdraw it ; but it was too bad, when balls, and concerts, and clubs were permitted,to remain open in every part of the town.— (Cries of" Order 1") The SPEAKER said he was sure he need not re mind the Hon. Member that there could be no order in the proceedings of that House if they were to revert to what were the alleged rights of individuals on all occa• sions, without reference to those which the House had observed.—(Cries was of " H anear .") established for the gene ra l conven i ence. It would be impossible to carry o n th e b us i ness of the House if some lie m s i y. g s h t t em obve that was ser not o a b t or der of that House that Orders of the Day should have precedence on certain days, and notices of motions on certain other days, yet unques tionably, according to the strict abstract rights of Members of Parliament, any Member who consulted only hi's own convenience might make a motion which would entirely defeat all these arrangements. He would put it to the good sense and feeling of the House whether they ought not, for the sake of the people, whose business it was their duty to transact —whether it was not for the general ad vantage that the business should be conducted accord ing to fix and certain rules. With respect to the par ticular motion which the Honourable Member brought forward as a fit subject for discussion, he would submit to him whether it would not be more fair to the parties whose interests were likely to, be seri ously affected by it to give them an opportunity of see ing how far it might . interfere with their interests. According to all forms, and the common courtesy of that House, such a motion should not be brought on without notice, unless it was meant to set at defiance all those rules which had been laid doWn for their guid ance.—( Hear, bear:) Mr. DUNCOMBE contended that one of the rules of the House was, that all petitions complaining of per sonal grievances should be entertained and discussed when presented. That was his case. The SPEAKER would leave it to the Hon. Mem ber to take whatever course he thought proper under the circumstances. Mr. DUNCOMBE—If the House would allow the case to come on to-morrow, he would have no objec tirn to postpone it ; but these people were starving in the meantime. His motion was so rational and so reasonable, that the House could have no difficulty in agreeing to it. Mr. LEADER, said it certainly had been his inten tion to have seconded the motion of the Hon. Member for Einsbary. The Bon. Member told bim that he in tended to present a petition, and had asked him to come down to,the House to second it, and as the matter concerned the substance of many, and the amusement of all his constituents, he felt himself bound to do so. He certainly did not intend to oppose what might ap pear to be the wish of the House, and if there was any rule against it, they ought to abide by that rule. If it could be arranged to take the subject into considera tion the first thing to-morrow.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") All they asked for was, that the matter should be fairly discussed before Wednesday, because every day lost was so much pecuniary loss to individuals, and so much amusement lost to all. Unless, therefore, some arrangement was come to, he must second the motion of his Hon. Friend. Sir E. KNATCHBULL wished to know who were the petitioners. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE—The lessee and performers. If the Noble Lord would say thpt the subject was one that ought to be considered, then he would only lay the petition on the table ; if not, then he should insist upon ;aking the sense of the House upon the subject. The SPEAKER inquired what was the earliest day the performers would be affected unless the motion was put? Mr . . T. DUNCOMBE stated next Wednesday— Wednesday and Friday. Mr. GLADSTONE thought that the petition might be looked upon in the light of a public grievance, and as such an exception to the rule laid down with respect to presenting petitions. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the question entirely depended upon whether it was such a case of personal grievance as that the House would decide upon taking the discussion immediately. As far as he collected the opinion of the Speaker, he seemed at first to doubt whether it was such a case that the House would hear it now, but he thought that his im pression afterwards was that as these persons would certainly suffer in their means of, subsistence on Wed nesday next, that therefore the petition came within the rule of a grievance, and therefore that the discussion should take place. With the latter sentiment, he (Lord J. Russell) xas disposed to concur. The SPEAKER said that the question was whe ther the HonourAle Gentleman should not present the petition now, and take an opportunity of having it dis• cussed in the course of the evening. Mr. T. DLTNCOMBE would much rather that the House should dispose of it now in one way or other. He did not see what objection the House could have to the petition. There could be no doubt that the Crown had the power of directing the Lord Chamberlain not to interfere. Sir CHARLES BURRELL thought the case was one that called for the interference of the Crown. Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose amidst much noise, and was understood to say that he had no personal ob jection that the Lord Chamberlain should alter the rules upon which he had hitherto acted, and to permit the performances to take place at Drury-lane on Wed nesdays and Fridays. Another HON. MEMBER rose to make a few remarks, which were lost amidst general cries of "Divide, divide !" Mr. ELLIOTT said that the order in question was not a new one. The theatrical performers made their engagements, well knowing of its existence. He, therefore, thought that such a question need not be decided by a division. Why did not the parties who now considered themselves entitled to redress come be fore the House with a petition long since ? Sir BENJAMIN HALL said his Hon. Friend had asked, why did not those parties come forward with their petition long since ? Now it was only last Friday that the L or d Chamberlain's order was issued.—( Hear.) The Hon. Baronet was understood to say that the order was in a great degree inefficacious, as the perfor mers might go to Marylebone, or. the Crown and Anchor, and act there. Mr. CRES WELL contended that the application ought not to be entertained, as the performers made their engagement with the full consciousness that the order would be issued as heretofore. They, therefore, had no right to complain now. Other performers, as well as those of Drury.lane, were interested in the present system, and should have their rights considered as well as the applicants. His opinion was that the House would act irrationally and unadvisedly if it were to en tertain this application. Mr. JARVIS was understood to say that the Crown and Anchor, the Queen's Theatre, and Astley's, over the water, were out of the jurisdiction of the Lord Cham berlain's order. This was a case in which not only managers, and performers, but also a large number of workmen, domestics, and other individuals, ere concerned. If those persons could be thought bound to live for seven days upon what they should have for four, because it was Lent, he admitted that the application should not be received.—(Laughter.) There was no necessity for an Act of Parliament to in duce the Lord Chamberlain to alter what was merely an old custom, and which certainly ought to be relaxed. If the inhabitants of Westminster and other districts of the metropolis were not allowed to enjoy the innocent amusements of the theatre, he apprehended that they would go to other places, where the amuse ments would be far from a harmless character.—( Hear, hear.) On the ground of sound practical policy, and also upon considerations of humanity they ought to grant the prayer of this application.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. EVANS said a few words amidst loud cries of " Divide and Question." The House then divided, when the numbe rs were— Ayes Noes Majority against the motion . . —9O CORN LAWS. The SPEAKER said that it was for the convenience PRICE sd. of the House that the public business should begin always at five o'clock, and as it was desirably that the whole of the petitions on the subject of the Corn-laws should be presented before the debate com menced, he should be ready to take the chair to-morrow at three o'clock, in order to afford every facility. Mr. PRY ME gave notice that he should to-morrow move, as an amendment on the motion of Mr. Villiers, respecting the Corn-laws, that it is expedient that the lowest average price to which the duty of Is. per quar ter attaches should, from the 30th of June, bo dimi nished from 735. to 71s. ; that the lowest price to which the higher duties attach be diminished by 2s. per quarter ; that in each succeeding year the lowest average prices of wheat be diminished by 2s. ptr quarter, and that in this and the four succeeding years there should be a diminution of one shilling on the lowest possible average prices of foreign barley, &c. Sir J. Y. BULLER gave notice that on Wednesday next he should move to extend the time for the presenta tion of Petitions for Bills for the recovery of small debts. Mr. CHARLES BULLER gave notice, that on going into Committee on the Controverted Election Tribunal Bill, he would move an instruction to the Committee to insert a clause providing for the appoint ment of permanent assessors. In answer to questions put by Mr. Shaw, Lord MORPETH said that in a few days he would introduce a Bill to regulate the distribution of the grant to the Irish Clergy of last year. That it was not the intention of Government to apply for the reimbursement of the 100,000/. which had been ad vanced to the Commissioners for Public Works, and that, with respect to the demands made upon the Clergy for the Crown rents, he had received a memorial upon the subject, which he had laid before the Commissioners for the Woods and Forests. Mr. PRAED wished to know what course the Go vernment intended to take with respect to the papers relative to the building of the Royal Exchange. It was a dropped order, and did not again appear in the paper. Lord J. RUSSELL said his Right Hon. Friend not being present, he could not well answer the question, but it was not likely that it would come on to-night. Mr. PRAED—Perbaps the Noble Lord would say that it would not come on that night. Mr. HA WES-0,1 Friday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer decidedly said that it would come on on Monday. Mr. PRAED would decidedly object to the ques tion being brought forward that night, as no notice of it appeared in the paper. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Committee on the Register of Births, &c., Bill, was postponed until Monday. JUDGES' SALARIES (SCOTLAND.) Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the Com mittee in the Judges' Salaries (Scotland) Bill. The several resolutions were read over and agreed to with out any opposition. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Courier of last evening has an amusing leading article in reply to the Times' attack on Lord Normanby, speaking of whom our Contemporary says—" There is scarcely a Liberal in the land, perhaps, who does not hail the arrival of Lord Normanby in England to take his seat in the Cabinet as Minister for the Colonies, as a happy omen for the cause of truth and justice, whieh he has a'ready aided so much in another official character. The Globe contains a long article on the subject of Mexico, and a second, far more interesting,*ran the Slave Trade question, is the course of which the Globe ob serves :—" To enable the public to form something like an estimate of the extent to which the Slave traffic is carried on by the protection afforded to it by. the Portuguese flag, we need only refer to a port of Spain (Trinidad) paper of a recent date, which shows that the number of negro slaVes imported it - ..t;! the Brazils during the last month, under the Portuguese flag, amounts to thirty-six thousand." The Standard, in an article on the question of the Corn-laws, remarks of this impost with more than usual hardihood, " the Corn-laws constitute no anomaly ; on the other hand, they are necessary to obviate a very great anomaly. The production of Corn is, in the strictest sense, a manufacture ; all other manufactures, whether for the home or foreign market, are guarded by protecting duties ; why then not protect the manuf,:c turer of Corn ?"

DEATH AND THE COltN LAWS.—If the Corn-laws produced all the benefits to agriculture which the landlords claim for them, and none of the mischiefs to commerce, which the manufacturers assert, still there is one fict, not suffi cietly dwelt upon, which would make every good man, every Christian, every friend of humanity, offer to those laws the most active opposition. We allude to the frightful fact stated by Mr. Ball, at the Taunton meeting, and which has been proved, beyond question, that Death regulate; his ravages according to the price of Corn. When Corn is dear Death abounds; when Corn is cheap Deaths are few. The scale of mortality rises and falls with the scale of the Corn averages..—Sonserset County Gazette. MR. D. W. HARVEY.

Upon clause eight being put, Sir ROBERT FERGIJ SSON thought there ought to be some alteration with respect to the latter part of the clause as it was at present framed, and he thought it was likely to creategreat difficulty. He thought that the Poor Law Cotumissoners should have the power of appointing the Barrister who was to decide upon the va lidity of the rate. After a few observations from Lord MORPETH which were inaudible in the Gallery, the clause as ori ginally framed was agreed to. The other clauses of the Bill, after a short conversa tion between Mr. Smith O'Brien and Lord Morpeth, not oue word of which was audible in the gallery, was then agreed to, when the House resumed and the report was'ordered to be received to-morrow. Sir E. KNATCHBULL then moved, (as we under stood), a second reading of the Highways' Bill. An HON. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, said that in his part of the country the Unions were too large, and the expenses ware continually increasing. Indeed, it seemed to be the tendency of the present sys tem of Poor-laws to increase the burdens upon .the rate payers, instead of to lessen them as they had at first been told would be the result. This increase was the more to be deprecated, on account of the deteriorating effects the great prevalence of railways had already had upon the returns of t urnpike-roads. He called upon the House not to add to the already onerous duties the Boards of Guardians had to perform. If this overloading system should be persevered in, he would bring forward some clauses calculated to check the expenses of the Poor-law administration, and to prevent small counties from being over-rated. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND said he felt it to Le his duty to oppose this measure last session,' and mature consideration since then had confirmed him in that feeling. He doubted whether it were desir able to take , the management of the small rates in townships out of the hands they were in at present. The roads went on well in his part of England. In fact there was no complaint. He had regularly attended the Board of Guardians in his district, and no persons could be found more dili gent, more patient, or better intentioned than the mem • bers of that Board. That district was nearly agricultural, but the population was dense, the area including not less than 70 parishes. Any persons desirous that the new Poor-law should work well in that quarter, would therefore be decidedly opposed to any increase of the present very onerous duties of the Guardians. Al though he (Sir G. Strickland) represented a district, thr inhabitants of which had made the most violent and even unreasonable opposition to the New Poor law, he, nevertheless, supported that measure, being convinced that the interests of the country required it. But now that it was the law, he was desirous that it ' should not be unnecessarily clogged with duties, oppres sive to men who had already discharged their responsible trusts to the best of their abilities, and whose manage ment tended to diminish that hostility which was at first exhibited against that enactment. He would not make any motion against the measure, trusting that at a future stage, :t would undergo a searching discussion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged leave to say that the Poor-law Guardians were many of them unwilling to perform the onerous duties alluded to. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman would more fully explain himself at the proper time. The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be crmmitted on the Gth of March. Mr. H A WES postponed his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the laws relating to Lunacy. Mr. CHRISTOPHER moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the laws relating to Sewers in England. The Honourable Member explained the provisions of his Bill, and urged the ne cessity of some general measure on the subject. Leave was given to bring in the Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Mr. POULETT THOMSON moved for the re appointment of the Select Committee on Private Busi ness, "to consider whether any and what improvement can, be adopted in the mode of conducting Private Busi ness:"—Mr. Poulett Thomson, Sir Robert Peel, Mr Shaw Lefevre, Lord-Stanley. Mr. Hume, Lord Gran ville Somerset, Mr. Loch, Mr. Greene, Mr. Aglionby, Mr. Williams Wynn, Lord Viscount Ebrington, Sir James Graham, Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. Freshfield, Co:onel Davies : Power to send for persons, papers and records ; five to be a quorum.— Agreed to. The LORD ADVOCATE brought in a Bill for increasing the salaries of the Judges in Scotland, which was read a first time. Sir GEO. CLERK presented a petition from Ai , gyleshire, in favour of Education. Sir THOMAS FREEMANTLE presented a Pe titiori signed by the Mayor, Burgesses, and Corpora tion of the town and county of Southampton, in favour of the existing system of Corn-laws. Mr. DARBY presented several petitions in favour of the existing system of Corn -laws from places the names of which we could not catch. After which The House Adjourned at FIVE MINUTES PAST SIX. - _ HOUSE OF LORDS, FEN. 18. The House met at C five minutes past Five o'Clo c k. ANADA. Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to know from the Noble Viscount opposite whether there was any dispatch from Sir J. Colborne detailing to the Govern ment the principles on which he had formed the Special Council, and the persons nominated therein, and whe ther any instructions had been sent out by her Majesty's Government on that subject, as there was no communi cation of that sort in the papers laid on their Lordships' table. Lord MELBOURNE'S reply was quite inaudible in the gallery. Cord VVESTMEA.TH gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move f or certa i n o th er papers to be laid on the t a bl e , respect i ng a re p or t of a Commissioner in Ireland, relative to a prolonged investigation of a transaction which took place there, covering, in the report produced, forty-eight p ages ,, I which the Commissioner bad contrived to pat whole of the evidence?, stating at the foot there was r. t opinion reserved upon it. C R N-L A WS. The Duke of WELLINGTON pre x - ey n fav eds o c u ve r r a l petitions from parishes, principally in Ke nt, the present Corn-law. CANADA. Lord WINCHILSEA. said that seeing the Noblt+ Viscount in his place, he desired to take the libesty of putting a question to him. He felt it to be his painful duty last Session of Parliament to dens the attention of the House to an appointment which had taken place of an individual holding a hig - 12 place under the Noble Earl (Lord Durham) whore he also saw in his place. The Noble Viscount, in answer to that question, had led him (Lord !' Winchilsea) to believe, as indeed he expressed that he himself felt both surprise and regret at the appoint ment, for those were the very words of the Noble Vis- I count. Upon looking over the Report which the I Noble Earl had produced, he (Lord WincLibea) was surprised to find that throughout the doetu- I meats contained in that report, not one of their related to that point. He, therefore, begged to ask th:!. Noble Viscount, whether there were any returns in his possession which he intended to lay on. the table re ating to that appointment, because he should feel it to $ lbe his duty to press for the production of those docu ments. in justification of the line he bad adopted. Lord MELBOURNE said it was not his intention to lay any such papers on the table. Lord WINCHILSEA then gave notfee that be , should draw the attention of the House to the subject to-morrow. Lord DIJR HAM said, as this irregular conversation had taken plane--',Cries of " N o, no,"and " Hear, hear"; he certainly believed, if the Noble Earl had had no inten tion to have made any motion on the subject, it would have been regular to have glanced at what he alluded to as he had d but having had that intention he could not but think it very unfair. He begged to inform the Noble Earl opposite that in the appointment to which he had referred the Noble Viscount at the head of her Majesty's GoVernment, had no concern whatever. It was an appointment of his own, made as he had a right to make it, without any authority whatever from the Noble Viscount. It was not an appointment under sign manual. It was not an appointment requiring the confirmation of her Majesty's Ministiers. It was one which he (Lord D.) had made on his own responsibility, and which he would be prepared to defend, when ever the Noble Earl should think proper to bring forward his motion ; and he would tell the Nob to Earl that, so far from thinking he had done wrong making that appointment, he had considered that Lke had advanced her Majesty's service in no incon— siderable degree from the official services ren— dered by that Gentleman. He had experienced happy results from that appointment, and h e could assure the Noble Earl of his determination to make the same appointment again if he had the oppor tunity. Lord WINCHILSEA said that he had studiously avoided alluding again to this subject until the docu ments now laid on the table were before the House. He had determined not to introduce the subject again until those documents had been produced, because he had felt bound to act fairly towards the Noble Earl, and not in any way to prejudice the question. The question was not between him (Lord Winchilsea) and the Noble Earl, but between him and the Noble Viscount at the head of her Majesty's Govern ment. He had nothing whatever to do with the private feelings of the individual that was alluded to—with his abilities, or with his talents. lie had no doubt that he had rendered most efficient ser vice to the Noble Earl. But on public grounds he had expressed his regret, as he should have done, if the appointment had taken place' by his dearest friend. He had expressed his re gret at. the appointment, and having been .joined and sympathised with in that expression of regret i'y the Noble Viscount, he had a right to know, not in his.own name, but in the name of the public, what course had taken place on the occasion. CORN LAWS. Lord FOLEY presented a petition against the Corn-laws. Lord RALEIGH presented several petitions (which Lord Western was to have Presented) in favour of the Corn-laws. The Earl of WARWICK presented 155 petitions from a number of places in the county of Warwick against any alteration in the Corn-laws. The Earl of STRADBROKE, in presenting fifteen petitions to the same effect, from different parishes in Suf folk, said the petitions proceeded from persons of consider able property in the county, and were not got up in On manner in which he had seen some petitions nu..st gracefully prepared ; for every one of the petitionei . s affixed the quantity of land which ho occupied, and tie amount of the assessment to which he was He (the Earl of Stradbroke), as a practical broom:, himself entirely agreed with the petittoners, that in ai'y thing approaching to a free trade Corn roust produce absolute ruin to the landowners (Hear, hear.) driving them from their own country to seek a shelter in foreign climates, end perhaps the far mers of Suffolk were more interested in the question than those of any other part of England, be cause in no county was there more capital i nveste d i n the cultivation of land.

The Earl of COLCHESTER said if he consulted his own convenience he should bring it forward ou t h e day he had named, but he would be most happy to meet the wishes of his Noble Friend if he did not consider the matter was now in the hands of th e House.—(Cries of No, no.")
