Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Pembroke stated that in 1822, he (Lord J. R.) had written a letter to his consti tuents containing opinions different from these on which he was about togive his vote, In that respect, he was consoled by reflecting that the Right Hon. Gentlemen had himself stated that he was no longer bound to adhere to the opinions he had expressed his judgment, havingheen ianztrnved by experience and retteetion. hliFadmittcd that justification, acid he was glad to find that tee Right Hoe. Getitlanalisliaderecelved - s° much' sympathy froM his side of the House—(cheers) —in claiming exemptian from that opiiiionon 26;8 but to assert that he (Sir James Graham) was not bound by these opinions.of 1826, and that her ( Lord John Russell) was boiind by his.ohinion of 1822,. would be to eXchide from hint these lights of experience from reflection,' and was rattler a hard measure of justice.-- ( Hear, hear, hear.) There was a great painter in that.: country who, after travelling through foreign lands, examined a pair.thig done in his early life, and Was mortified to find that he hail not made Mitch progress in the art. He (Lord J, R. ) hoped he would /let have to feel that mortification. He had Cr tam some este erience from his reflection, since he had given that opinion henestly• and conscientiously. Another oh:ma t:on !save him some encouragement in, the opinione. he, had firmed, - and if - ,t- appeared to . him that the ._burdens .upon the laed Ind been increased, that was an argumeht fee reconsidering t. e , urescnt scale of duties. H e contendeddhit when the agri cultural classes were in a state_ of distress, it was not deeirablo to .e..tee mai any cousse oflegiSlation that might aggravate these distresseee The ' operatiOn of the New Poor-law Act, to which allusion had - been made had tended to diminish the bertlien "upon land ; and he knew one gentleman of gehet respectability', who had stated that he could obtain three, years more purellase for his land than previously. It had been asserted that the present was a season of extreme scarcity. He ( Lord .1. Russell) did not consider it' in that light, although he . admitted that if it had not been, for some fine, weather during r• • harvest the crop of wheat would here beep far ore injured. ...4 :leer, and a laugh.) An Hon. Gentleman, the late Mem ber for Nottingham, had told him that the yield of wheat in that part Of the country had been . remarkably good. If they feural under such circumstances that wheat had reached a fa miereprice, he believed it would be IMPOssible to refuse to le g:slate upon the Subject: With respect to the. present Corn-laws, he differed from those who thought they anewered the object fur which they were framed. The law previously to 1827, was a law of prohibition, and Mr. Canning's law was one proposed on the ground that the principle 'of prohibition should, be banished from thoirdrade—that 60s. would be a fair reraune refine price, and that that would give an average of_from Ms. to tens. per quarter. His "(Lord J. Russell's). argument was, that the Bill hid - not answered these expectation - -that instead of that the fluctuation had been from 36e. to Ei.=. up to 82s.— that inetead of a steady price, it hid been an extremely vari-. able one—thatinstead of a regular trade in corn, three teurths of it had been admitted when the duty was une"er 6s. He con tereed that if the law "had 'not answered its purposes, they were bound to get' into Committee, and make some new arrange= went in oeder to see hem far they could carry out the principles of Mc. Canning'S measure. If this law had not attained its objects, than it possessed all the faults of the former, even with out its advantages. It obstructed trade, prevented the profit able employment of capital, and injured persens for whose be nefit it eves it:tended. Iti the first place our manufactures suffered considerably front the foreign competition, which was rising up against us. This competition was becomiug more formidable from year to year, and although no dreadful calamity may hive yet harreeed to our mandfactitree, but if fon igh manufactures were to be pettnanently established, diminution would naturally take place in our martufactuies;and want of emptoyment and starve tren would be the ceniequence.--:( No, no, from the Opposition, and cheers from the Ministerial benches.) If that competition contirested it Would necessarily reduce ' our., ,manufacturers to deenientiou and misery. That competition was greatly in creaSed by the operation of the Cern e laws, and that was a rea-, son for going into Committee on the subject.. A change should Le made inhhose laws'now, if they. wished .to hold the position :Ise , / yet cecunied. It would be vain tp regret the ground; they It ;l lost in eenseqUence of thtese laws, when their mantifle teecs were ruined. —( Hear.) It would be- vain to hope, 'hen we had lost all our manefactures, to re-establish them hy any change in the Corn-laws';" w,e shoeld find that when °ur inary:hat:tures had otiee departed from us, they had departed from us for ever; .

He had now concluded the various topics on which he intended to address the House. I trust, said the Noble Lord, that although what I have said may have wanted face to induce Honourable Mem bers to change their opinions, that I have not used any of those arguments-which-I• was •'sorry to- hear - used by different' Mem.: bers on both sides of the question, that it is because landowners sr manufacturers have a personal interest ..in this ques ion—that it ,is en the ground of personal interest they are about to give their votes on this subject; all I wish to say en that question is, that there are, no doubt, a very great number of Members of this House who are connected with land, and who have more interest in the maintenance of the pros , perky of land th.tn• in that of manufactures.• I, how ever, have no doubt, they will come .to a conscientious opinion on this subject, but this I must say, that it behoves them on account. of that interest to watch theeaselves the more carefully— to take care that any interest they have, does not prejudice them against the general public interests of the country, and to be more cautious than they would be if it were a question of no personal in. terect cm one side or the other. I trust they wilt so consider it, and that before they coma to a vote, they will give due weight to every argument in favour of a change.—(Hear, hear.) .It is a question of great importance to the country. Ido not say that instant...ruin is to fallow vOur deter mination if you do not agree t the motion, and lam '- far trona being of opinion that increased prosperity would directly follow its adoption. This country hes still to suffer much from great burthens, in consequence of obligatious hanging upon it, and the wars that it thought right to. engage , in. The burthens—the weight of which must attach. to it—cannot be destroyed or taken away wAhout en attempt which I trust no Member of this House will consent to; but it is in your power, in some respects,' to lighten those burthens—in some respects to give a fair scope to the energies of the country ; and by incressing. its wealth, by increasing its means, and by briugiog actively to its commerce, and giving , great scope to its manufactures, it is in your power in some degree to lighten and alleviate those burdens; mad I trust that if you can be persuaded thp• adoption of this motion, and the reconsideration of the Corn-laws, will in any way tend to that end, that you will cheer. fully adopt it, regardless of whatever private interests may dr may not be affected by your decision.—(Cheers.) Mr. 3IILNES then rose to address the House ; but the continued cries of " Divide, divide," prevented the Hon. Member from ad. dressing the House; and notwithstanding the loud and repeated cries of " Order, order," from the Speaker, an incessant clamour was kept up,- which was entirely created by the Members sitting on the lower benches of the Conservative side of the House. several Members on the Ministerial side calling out " Order, order." Sir James Graham, Lord . Clive, and other Gentlemen near Mr. Milnes, endeavoured to persuade him to sit down, but without snccess. When the tumult had in some degree subsided, The SPEAKER, very emphatically said, disorder in your pro ceedings can have no other etl'ect, then to render it impossible to collect the sense of the House with regard to its future proceed ings, end such au attempt to terminate such a debate can reflect nothing hut discredit on yourselves.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. MILNES said the House roust be aware that it was from no foolish vanity he wished to trespass on its indulgence ; and that unless he bad been aware it was impossible the debate could end chat evening, he would not have attempted- to have forced himself upon the House.—(Cries of " Oh, and " Divide, divide.") A vest number of Members then le,t the House. (The noise in the House was such, frem the buzz *of conversation. and Members leaving, thaiwe heard the .Hop. Member veil , indisdinctly.) The repeal of the Corn-laws would cause a reduction in the rent of land, which would ruin the smaller proprietors. Would it not be unwise to make this country dependent upon such a country as Russia—a power which had disregarded their engagements with every, ceuntxy in regard to commercial relations. It would be a much more creditable course for the manufacturers of this country to direct their attention .to- unemployed field of en terprize, than to attempt to pillage the landed proprietors of •Engltuid.—( Hear, hear.)

Atoning 49 minutes after 2i Evening Belgium, and Lord DUNGANNON his motion for returns under the Registration Act, and the House adjourned. The people of England have petitioned, in almost unexampled numbers, on the subject of the Corn-laws. There islerhaPs no agricultural hamlet - in:the ,empire that . has not 'sent its petition to Parliament,for-the -pre servation, and no manufacturing district which hasnet demanded the abolition, of those laws. The Ayr 03server of Tuesday mentions that a numerous meet ix% of the landowners of that county took place on that day, and resolved to petition Parliament in favour of the Corn-laws. Other counties have taken the same course ; and they have been kept in countenance by all the great towns. Agricultural Associations on- the one hand, and Anti-Corn-law Delegates on the other, min gling with their other pursuits, and passing a ,vote of censure on the Ministers, attest the deep interest which all classes take on this question. Our'own columns day after day filled with long debates on the Corn-laws, to the exclusion, of all other matter, confirm the as . - serLion that . the Corn-laws are now the absorbing subject Of public interest. Both Houses of Parliament have entered on the discussion, and, as well as the people, seem to regard it as as - a question of vital importhnce. So we think, and in the performance of our duty we have visited 'the Commons and the Lords. On the first night, when Mr. CuttisTornna ',announced a call, which he never carried into effect, Mr. VILLIERS had a moderately large audience, but after he had spoken the House melted away, so that. Sir GEORGE SIT-Nu-AND and Mr. CAYLEY spoke to at most a fourth of those who are to decide the question by their votes. Later in the evening a tumultuous mob assembled, and with joyous after-dinner hilarity overwhelmed the feeble voice of Mr. POULETT Tifoksom. Ca Wednesday 'riight, 'during the three first hours of the debate, there was not many more Members present . .than ,cOnstituted a quorum, and they never, we believe, ex. ceeded the number of those who were anxious to speak, and Waited, rather for an opportunity, of hearing ;hem•, selves than of hearing others. Later in the evening, again, when a reasonable number was present, thel noise and uproar stifled Lord Howlcies speech, and though it was evidently studied with great care, and' the rnatter was well arranged, and some of the facts, striking, it waS entirely thrown" away on the bulk of those .wiii? will vote on the question. Last night it was no betteq. In the early part of the evening the speakers had no audience, and in the latter part the audience would scarcely hear the speakers. Yet this is the manner which, this grave,,deliberative assembly discusses a!ques--. tion which fills all England with anxiety or alarm ; and the Commons will speak of the public as very criminal if it should not allow their votes to settle the matter for ever. From the CoMmons we looked into the Lordsi and expected there to see the. House crowded with Peers. The fate of the Aristocracy and the Church, it has been said, is beund up with the Corn-laws. The character of the Ministers and of the Legislature is implicated in them ; the institutions of 'the country are assailed through them ; and. we looked for the assembled wisdom of the Peerage to rescue the character of Parliament, the honour of the Government, the morality of the Church, and the justice of . the Peers from reproaeh. The Corn-laws have been fully and openly assailed, because they restrict industry and impede. the supply. of'. subsistence ; because they doom the people to poverty, and promote crime ; because they themselves arc criminal, cutting off multitudes of. p6ople, Trite 1:er:- ire , between' GOD'S goodness and his Creature's w4nts, and causing, all 'those frightful vices which Iteep population down to the level of the. law-rest4ted .supply of fOod. - ' They , harden the hard; lanl . make all men unfriendly and uncharitable. ' _They substitute the ferocity of, hunger for the benignity i.of plerity. Vs expected,' therefore, to see-our Ecclesi astical .Legislators all present ; and to find them armed with texts of scripture to prove , the -morality of i the Corn-laws,• and to show . that they are ebiricident With GOD'S words, which; cn the question of Sabbath iota servance, they insist on making the basis of Legislation. We saw only two, there might be three, and liat they have to say in favour of the laws or against thOni; is-n mystery to us, for 'at the time we write neithOr Of them had opened his month.. " When Jacon,” we .are reminded by atraet . on the Corn-laws .bYJAMES YOuNn, a journeyman mechan'e, " saw that .there was corn in Egypt, lie said to his sons, why do you look 'on 'one another ? And he said, behold; 1-have - heard, that there is corn in Egypt, get You, doir;it thither and buyfor u$ from thence that we may liVe and not die. A n d. Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy co:n it; Egypt?! • Now we humbly submit to the Right Rev. Father in Goo, and to the bulk of the honest -people who' take their morality and their filth from the lips of these Bishops, that the'policy of the' Patriarchs is as worthy of imita tion, and-should be ac much a rule, on the subject of buying corn, as' on observing the seventh day ; and before this • great discussion on the . Corn-laws, is oVer the 'Bishops will 'be required fo . show their Scripture authoritylir muzzling the people, for tying , their legs, and preventing them from going into the land of Egypt to buy corn. Besides the two Bishops, we counted two, if not three,-Ministers; and sOmC clo4en . Peers, on the . Ministerial" Douches. On the cross benches there_ might be half-a-dozen more, and on the Opposition benches two dozen or thirty. Of the while Peerage then ' •lay and clerical, less than • three sco re are to hear the •details on the question and decide it, thgugh it affects the food of the labourer, time profitiof his etnployer, and the well-being of all. We heard one of the Peers talk of the alarm and the mischief wlalt the agitation of this question was exciting; - anti be a expressed hope' that 'their Lordships would, by negia tiVing Lord FITZWILLIAM'S motion, put quend to the agitation.

The commencement of the business in. the. Lords w 43 a little enlivened by the Duke ,of RUTLAND presenting peti tions in favour of the laws from certain agricultural la bourers, Nsho signed them because they wished tb prevint revolution. How the abolition of the Corn law; weal to cause revolution., the Noble Duke had not inquired. A little conversation took place about the duties 'on foreign fruit, which the growers of fruit a,t bome desire to be raised. The landlards will have their tax out t o the poor boy's plum cake, or apple pasty, as well as out of the widow's loaf. . , After a very considerable number of petitions had been presented, prp and con, Lord .FITZWILLIAM moved 'a' 0, soiution that the Corri-laws had failed to secure that steadi: ness, in the price of corn, which was essential,to the b4si interests of the country.' His Lordship made an able speech in which he dwelt emphatically on the evils of fluctuations in the price of corn,and on their being a proof that the pre.s!nt Corn-law had net worked well. In the course of the debate, he was well supported by Lord RA.DNoR, who contended that protection injered every; thing it was intended to proteet, and instanced silk and wool as articles which had flourished under a .free trade,.; and our success in these articles is especially. remarkable,- because our people" hate had .to contend- against high . prices of food, which hag operated Against the wool groitei s s and the silk manufacturer. Lord'l3anrnnAlt ,took the. same side of therquestion, and: supported his views with_his esual fe licity. Thellarrinis . of L A NSDGIY NE, a Minister, supported Earl -FITZ WILLTA 'Motion, and explained and enforced hi 3 views, for which he was carnplinaented by the Noble- This is the . more extraordinary, as Lord not) as a took a .directly, opposite. view,- and such conflicting opinions in the .Cabinet portend itsrspeacly . dissialution. The Duke; of BUCK INGIMNI, - who n tla t nia Lord PlTA wiu-Lasa for having. learned somethinetriore on the Corn- . laws than he knew - in 1815, Opposed the - motion. The Earl of RII-ON, who' raised a not . very honest argu ment on the fluctuations: Of the price s o f ot h er commodities as well as the flu c t ua ti ons i n the prices of corn, and was full of bounce and puff, did 'the same. The Duke of WELLINGTON was so well contented with Lord RIPON'S bubble-jock arguments, that he thought it unnecessary to du much more than state his adhesion to them. The Duke of RicitateNo, in opposing the motion, insisted on the expldded fallacy that the laud. lords were more taxed than the manufactatrer,a,..and yet he and the rest of the Peers wcii t railot evidence onsthii point. The Noble , D,ulse_is soinleve_with oppression that he declared that . if he were not allowed to oppress and plunder the rest of the people he, would sell his land and go to a foreign country. • Englandscan well-spare seores'of such men as the, Duke of ,liteameYn. We were less sur. prized than grieved to find- Ifisbottot NIELnovaNE takingas high a tone and'as strongn part in this question as the Duke of WELtaNc - rort. He tharacterigedthe proposition, to put an end to all -protection for agriculture—that, is, plundering one 'class to enrich another—Las the wildest and ,maddest he had ever heard of. The Secretls out—Lord MEL. BOURNE" the enemy of flee trade. . All the arguments, as we think, told one may, yet the great majority of the votes went another. The number of Peers who voted.for the motion was just 24, and ortliese 10 were proxies. The number of Peers who 'voted against the motion-was 224, and of these 113 were proxies. We shall look with some curiosity for the names of the Peers, and shall have to congratulate the Church if any Bishops have voted for the motion. If any have voted agaitist it, they will be made to answer for it befOre a higher tribunal than ours. A. more Christian .motion—a • motion better deserving the support of all the Bishops,' than one to get rid of the Devil's laws, we cannot conceive ; and woe to the .Bishops if - they have voted for continuing the Devil's laws, and woe be to them if they have not voted to abolish them. We shall look with some impatience for the list of the contents and non contents to' Lord Ferz.. WILLIAM'S motion. ' Let us add that the Tory slandering Peers are so strong, that they might have spared the stars-. ing people:the mortification of knowing that any proxies had been given on such a question. Now they will tee with some bitterness that. 113 Peers, inspired' probably by heavenly wisdom,and therefore having no heed of consulting human means of getting knowledge, voted that the po or should remain exposed to all the evils of poverty, hunge r , and lingering death, without having heard the masterly remarks of Lords FITZWILLIAM, RADNOR, BuouGuast, and themselves, however, f h others, whd - demenstratcd the folly and injustice of the e x - I ti t rg ey suppose lavr.Thci that L at er s il u sh ch ips a d deceive Willeth e or sel can settle this question. . The Paris Papers of Wednesday state that new dif ficultics had prevented the formation of a Liberal Cabinet. M. QUIZOT had refused 'the Ministry of Public Instruction, and the office of Ambassador to the Court of London,, assuring: Marshal SOULT and M. TRIERS who waited on him on Tuesday evening, that unless allowed the Departairnt of the Interior he would decline office altogether. This is the more perplexing, as M. ODILLON -BARROT 9 S. party will not support a Cabiact in which M. GUIZOT shall be appointed Minister of the Interior, from an apprehension that. he would oppose all - internal Reforms, and particularly the Extension of the Suffrake.; rand M. DucHATEt2s friendship for GUIZOT is Such as to induce . him to decline taking office with. any Ministry which does not number the . chief of the Doctrinaires among its leaders. This division among the candidatei for office is exceedingly agreeable to the Ministerial Journals, as it is expected to lead to an union of the Doctrinaires with Count MOLE'S party. The KING, however, prudently abstains from any attempt to en- . courage such hopes, by continuing his attentions to SorLT and It is proposed to add two new Ministers to the French Cabinet. The Department of Enclesias ice! Affairs and Justice is to be divided into two, and a similar di vision is to be made of the Ministry of PubllP : Works ajul Cimimerce. There being very little chance of M. DUPEN'S return as President of the Chamber of Deputies, it is reported SOULT has made hint - , an 'offer of t h„, Department of 'Justice.. Though at the head of n o Party, the great talents,' eaeeztric habits, bad 'temper, and remarkable powers of sarcasm of the Ex-President render him formidable to all. We are confident that Souvr -would rather face a park of artillery than-be the . object of one of DuriN',; withering sarcasms. The news from Madrid is of the tith inst.

For the last few days a good deal of exciternent has prevailed among the inhabitants of the secluded village of Southgate, Middlesex, and its vicinity, owing to a deliberate attempt on the part of a young man, named Richard Whiting, to eut the throat of a young woman to whom he had only been three weeks married. It seems that Whiting had latterly express..ed a great wish to migrate to Australia, and had made application to the Ree. Mr. Sales, the Rector of the parish. At the same period, Elizabeth Dwyer, a young woman, whose parents lived in the adjoining parish, and who had been herself a servant for some years indifferent families in the neighbourhood, roads a similar application to the Rev. Gentleman. Up to this time, it appeared, that Whiting and the young woman Dwyer were strangers, and unknown to each other.; but some party' to whom they , had made known their intentions to leave this country, suggested the propriety of their first getting married, and brought them together for that pur pose. The courtship was short, for en last Monday three Weeks they were married by the Rev. Mr. Sales, free of all' expense, and without the usual fees: FroM that time they continued to live in the house of the husband's father, and ap peared to be-very happy, but it seems that 'the wife had since .their marriage changed her mind, and Made - some objeCtions to leave this country, and this, it is supposed, led to a determine.- - tioa on. the partof her husband to take away-her life. The fol. lowing account has since been given by the wife of the occur. rents . She states that between six and seven o'clock in the Morning her husband got out of bed and dressed himself, and then went into the ro.ma oppos:te, . leaving her still, in bed: After remaining there a few minutes he returned .to the bed- side, and said " I have got something nice for you, shut your eyes and open your' mouth." At' . this time he was standing over her, -and lra.vitig no idea tha: he meant her any harm she complied with -his request, upon which he' placed his hand upon her throat, and said " Is' not my hand very cold?" He then_ proceeded to the. left side of the bed,' and, having pulled her night-cap over her eyes, he began to, cut her 'throat. bhe instantly threw up her,left 'hand to save her throat, and received a severe .wound qn the fingers, as well as a deep one on throat.

They are wholly destitute of news, as the discussion in the Chambers was dragging its " slow length along" more slowly than over. In the sitting of Tuesday, M. PIETERS proposed an amendment, whi'ch :was laid on the table ;: but in what it essentially differs from' the Ministerial proposition, we, are really un a ble to discover. The expresvcoadition of . a reservation Of Civil and religious rights, and privileges to the in habitants of Limburg and Luxemburg, is already guaranteed by the London Conference. The - hopes of the Opposition of any Support from France, was fast declining ; although, we .regret to learn, by accounts frthin Holland, thr.t the alarm excited there by the triumph of the French Coalition, was fast increasing.

DJl!z; in his excellent report, ssys that "the etry 1 florin 50 cents. per ton, to,bc levied by Holland on the navigation of the Scheldt, was confidentially proposed in. 1833, instead of the duty imposed by the tariff of Mayence, which the 9th article of the treaty of 1831 applied to the Scheldt, and the amount of which was four florins per ton. Being familial- with statistical calculations, I have thought it u - eful to show by figures the immense advantage that our country gains by this modification, and consequently the great loss which will accrue to Holland if we accept this tr. a'y; 4 . On examining the amount of tonnage of the ships enter. ing the port of Antwerp, we' find that the difference in the duty is 1,128,,707 florins, in our favour,. , In the eight years there has been a real loss to Holland: of 11,109,280 florins in conscqu"nce of its refusal to vccept , the treaty of 183 1 . Itiosa• also by the new treaty the . arrears due to Holland, amounting to 67,200,000 florins, makingn capital of 70,309,28'0 florins, which at 5 per cent. is n pptpetual gain to Belgium of 8,286;696 florins pnr annum.

William's delay in ex cepting the treaty. It remains to be seen nhathey think of it in Holland. These are facts. Let us not imitate Xing William, but hasten to omc to a conclusion".

We were favoured this day with a private view of a magnificent Candelabrum, which, as the inscription on the pedestal states, was presented to. the Marquis, of Sign by the negroes of Jamaica. This handsome Candelabrum is formed by the Arica palm. tree—which - is the type of West Indian liberty; froM whose fe.ii Fiery and 'graceful, top; spring elegant brancaes for sev,,n, 14114. At the feot of the tree is a greupe of West Indian negroes, and this groupe, which is designed with great skill, is hap pily typical of their present connit.on—or rather . of what it will be a few years hence. A male negro, no longer the white man's slave, is' explaining what he has'Sust been reading from a book resting in his hand, to a female who is seated. by his side, nursing her in fant—an interest in whose welfare she is now, for the first time for centuries, permitted to feel and encour; , ge. In the back-ground is a young lad, who is represented sporting With a goat; now allowed to 'be 4omestieated. This groupe, is ingenimisly illustrative of peace and bappi mess in private life. The merit of the whole design of this splendid Candelabrum is due to Messrs. 'Green and Ward, of Coekspur-strect, who, ave acquitted themselves of their task, with consummate' skill-find taste: The following is the inscription affixed on the pedestal of this striking work. of Art:— , ' Presented To the Most Noble Howe Peter, Marquis of By the Negroes of Jamaica, In testimony of the grateful remembrance they entertain for his unremitting efforts to alleviate their sufferings and to redress their wrongs; during his just and enlightened administration of the Government of the Island, and of the respeet . and gratitude they fecl towards his excellent Lady and family, for the kindness and sympathy displayed to wards theni. 1837. , .
