I trust you will, in fairness, permit me to inform your readers that Mr. Miles's amendment and the Government plan both excluded slave-grown sugar. So far from the free-traders having sanctioned the principle of distinguish ing between free and slave labour produce, you will find that they recorded their votes upon Mr. Ewart's motion in favour of the equalisation of the duties upon all foreign and colonial sugars.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " A. W. PAULTON." We have given no support to Mr. Miles's amendment, 1905 and we have conveyed no impression with regard to the 25° 00 conduct of those gentlemen who put forth " Free Trade" ;107 as their only symbol of political union, except such as 1 9 4 31 51 we directly derived from the defence o f th e i r own a bl est 65 organ. That impression we may briefly reproduce as O 0 1( 4 3 6 3 follows :—Those gentlemen say that their "only ac -162% knowledgment of party compact i s s t r i c tl y b oun d up i n _ is the advancement of" the single p r i nc ipl e o f f ree tra d e. 0 0 They assume the right, therefore, to ask no other = 3g ° B question with regard to this Government measure than —. 185 —whether the scale of duties proposed by Government 14 or their opponents approach nearest to free trade. Th a t Z 61 11 4 i right we should admit unreservedly, were no other B^' considerations involved in this question. Were it a 141 mere question of figures between two scales—were it 73 1175 merely a question whether Sir Robert Peel's figures, 158 or Mr. Miles's, should be preferred, we should not dis - 2° 117 puce their preference. i n d ee d, as matters stand, we 260 should hardly have thought it necessary to criticise 1 Pa- id 15 their choice, if it were not p u t f orwar d, w i t h some con - % 965 fidence, for " the approbation and i m it a ti on o f ot h ers. " 502 40 This is a tone and style which challenges animadver -25 sion. We dispute altogether that a single commercial 62 1 20 principle should guide all public action. We say 130 that the higher principles of national conduct are 4it to be at all risks, and on all occasions, and by every individual vote, vindicated ; and that, if those prin , sso ° ciples are invad e d by thi s S ugar Bill of the 240 Government, no risk of inconvenience, from the 28 possible event of delay in su b s tit u ti ng somet hi ng b etter 43 lO for it, should have sw a y e d th e vote o f a s i ng l e man, who 176 preferred his character as Englishman to any immediate 122 interest as trader or consumer. If this language is 12 51 % strange to gentlemen, whose " only acknowledgment of party compact" is a principle of trade, we can only say Iwe are sorry for it. Our idea of conduct in national i matters embraces trade certainly—but something more. 70 ; Our idea of the duty of all men in all their votes ig,.. 1 upon this Sugar Bill i s —th a t t h ey should first ask ' themselves—not whether this or that figure of any scale is eligible for the present year—but whether this or lb that principle of national l eg i s l a ti on i s to confront the world as English. It is this which legislators have 101% first to lay to heart, even before next year's consumption. A new, principle is propounded to regulate our dealings with friendly nations. Is it 21 sound or vicious—calculated to maintain or lower our 3 Hi national character—calculat e d t o s i mp lif y or em b arrass 9 our relations with the great family of mankind ? 2o 24 We have not hesitated t o say t h at any conce i va b le g inconvenience of the moment is escaped too dearly by 28J setting up a wrong principle in the face of all nations, simply to cover the retreat of the ruling party here from o 0 0 72% a false positi on . E ven regar d e d i n a so l ely commercial o 0 18 „.. point of view, th e a d o pti on o f suc h a pr i nc i ple O o 6 .g is stated by the able free-trade organ above 0 0 17 alluded to, as c a l cu l a t e d to g i ve " just cause 0 0 O 0 34 of offence and estr angemen t," an d provo k e men -0 o 6% sures of retaliation. Even, therefore, with sole re -10 0 6 % ference to immediate commerc i a l i nterests, we d eem 0 o 0 0 5 this a good reason for resisting such a mea )6 0 400 sure at every stage. But, we repeat, there are higher 11 id than immediate comm erc i a l i nterests, important as /st u.T 3i . these are. There a r e hi g h er t h an commercial reasons 1 0 0 for giving no men " just cause of offence and es loo m 'RN trangement." W e con t en d t h at, ne i ther in this nor in 10 0 i bye t case, involving national equity and fair dealing, is to ( 5 ' 1 it the part of independent men to calculate whether 0 0 : : 1 15 % their vote may be followed by this or that consequence 13 0 27 of an inferior order to the considerations on which that oo 0 42 vote is given. It is th e d u ty o f l eg i s l ators to assert, b y 0 s% 10 0 15% their every vote, the grea t p r i nc i p l es o f l eg i s l at i on. i f 1001314 those principles are infrin ge d by t hi s measure, t h at in -5 5 40 p , fringement is the " great fact" which should swallow up 0 0 0 ,22.. lesser facts i n th e m i n d s o f t h ose who are called upon to 0 ~, represent England to Inc world. ....° e 1 - 71 1 3 " STANDARD.— In the Committee of the House of 205 Lords upon the Bill for suppressing brothels, Earl Fitz 0— 0 42 hardinge, in the indulgence of that pecular taste of 5 0 12% which he has given more than one proof, renewed his 0 0 150 attack upon the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, charging that venerable body with connivance at the o 0 44 abuse to immoral purposes of several miserable tene -0 0 0 42 ments held by lease u n d er th em . Th e Bi s h op of 0 42 0 • 196 Gloucester again very clearly demonstrated that the 0 0 is Dean and Chapter were in the matter guiltless even of 0 0 0 26 % neglect, ina smuc h as t h ey h a d un if orm l y refused to 0 o 0 1 4 % renew leases t o th ose w h o h a d so i n f amous l y perverted 10 0 their property to the service of vice, and bought in the o 0 ems outstanding lea ses w h erever t h ey h ad t h e opportunity. • 17 10 o 1 5 That the D ean an d Ch apter h a d not waited for this 0 0 , 34N recent rebuke in Parli amen t, t h e Ri g h t R ev. Lord proved • • 2 9 : 4 by a reference to the letter of Mr. Hunt, their surveyor. 0 o 26% Whether it is Earl Fitzhardinge's purpose, in the course 0 0 1. he takes, to protect brothels, or to asperse the clergy of the Established Church, we are unable to conjecture. But 0 4) o 22 whatever ma y b e t h e design of the Noble Earl, a 0 e 20 we think it p oss ibl e t h at he may have been doing 44 120 good unconsciously. Among other of his Lordship's 0 0 93 invidious remarks, he stated th a t severa l no b lemen 36 22 and gentlemen d caused to be i nser t e d i n b u il d i ng 0 0 7% leases a penal clause, providing that the application of o 0 o 0 150 any house to be b u ilt u p on t h e prem i ses leased shall 5 o 73 work a forfeiture of the lease. These penal clauses are, o 0 1 . 0 we know, now very commonly inserted in building 0 0 0 34 leases, but they ar e a lt oget h er a novelty ; there is pro -0 66 O 0 2) bably not one lease in existence, forty years 0 o 37 60 old, containing su c h a clause and of course e ven 0 o o 72 were the present Chapter of 'Westminster to be held o o 29 responsible for the acts of their predecessors forty 0 0 31 years ago, they can h ar dl y b e b lamed for not 0 0 e rP haVing thought of a measure of precaution that at the time had never occurred to any one else. The intro -0 0 29 duction of these claus es i s cur i ous, an d i t i s to be ex - 217 plained:by two causes. First, and most gratifying, the 84 general improvement in morals, manners, and tastes. _ g i g Secondly, the change th a t h as ta k en place in the 57 system of building, which has given effect to 55 the moral improvement in this manner. For -- 1 36 25 merly houses were built singly ; recently they are built by streets, and even by collections of streets. 0 0 645 Now the builder of a s i ng l e h ouse, if morally indiffe -0 o 92 rent, had no care whatever for his neighbours, but with o 0 78% the builder of a street or a collection of streets it is dif -014 ga ferent—the respectability of the neighbourhood which he o 6 11YZ is creating is a matter of grea t p ecun i ary i mportance to 0 0 66 him. Th presence of one or two disreputable houses 0 0 2'4 in a street is known p ro di g i ous l y to d epreciate the 0 o 101 O 0 122%. value of all the other houses in that street, and thus the 0 0 22% 77% most profligately regardl ess o f p u bli c mora l s still feels 0 0 o 0 2% the necessity of protecting his property from taint by o e 59 the penal clauses of which we have spoken. In the case 0 0 5% of old leases, however, a l an dl or d , w h ether of one or 0 O o 221 more houses in a neighbourhood, is wholly without 0 0 0 109% remedy, though his m ora l f ee li ng may b e outraged, 0 ° 0 n ye and his pecuniary interest, too, injuriously affected —7% by the abuse of his property. This we believe to be 0 0 • 0 N precisely the conditio n o f th e D ean and Chapter of 219 , O 0 24% Westminster. Now the unconscious good for which we o 0 35 ' give Earl Fitzhardinge credit, i s th e pl ac i ng t h e import lB 85 ant subject of the Bishop of E xe t er ' s Bill i n t hi s new _ O o 106 and practically useful light. Whatever the Noble Earl 0 0 56 43 % and others lik e hi m may t hi n k o f t h e o b ligation of the 0 o 0 0 04 Legislature to guard the morals of the people, all 0 0 93 will admit the d u ty o f P ar li ament to protect 0 • 47 • 0 57Z property ; but property i s , as we h ave intimated, 0 0 24 enormously depreciated by the proximity of those 0 0 infamous houses whi c h t h e B i ll of the Bishop of 0 0 Ps Exeter would suppress. Might not the Legi s l a t u r e 0 0 V) o 0 265% wisely and justly in t erpose to protect property from such S : ; , 16 depreciation by giving th e aut h ority of a general law 0 0 123 / to the principle of the penal c l auses, of which mention 0 0 1 62% has been made ? What objection, for example, could there be to a provision added to the Bishop of 11 0 a% Exeter's Bill, to the effect, that a conviction of 1 0 to 0 2 the tenant of any house for using such h ouse as, & c., 0 2 o ( 3 sho u ld o perate as a forfeiture of his lease t o hi s 0 0 7 immediate lessor, and so upwards. This would be one o o Ito 6 % of that best kind of la ws , l aws th a t execute t h emselves ; 0 0 5 for the inhabitants of any n e i g hb our h oo d di sgraced and 0 • 1 12% impoverished by one of these abominable nuisances would to o 0 0 lose no time in effectually relieving thems e l ves f rom i t, lo 0 20 after the law had supplied them with the means. 0 0 0 26 We have not seen the Bill—it ma y, f or anyth i ng we 0 1% know, contain such a provision ,_• but if it does n o t, t h at to o o 6 O 0 0 9 provision certainly ought to be added. % O 0 O 0 O 11 .NGE.—(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. Messengers from the Commons brought up the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, and the Brighton and Chiches ter Railway Bill. OPENING LETTERS AT THE POST-OFFICE. The Earl of RADNOR rose for the purpose of re newing the motion which he had made the other even ing on the subject of opening letters at the Post-office ; and he really thought that, consistently with the argu ments which he had used the other evening, the Noble Duke ought to consent to that motion. The principal argument used against the motion was, that there was no allegation that the power vested in the Secretary of State of issuing warrants for opening letters at the Post office had been abused. Now their Lordships could not but be aware, from what had occurred in another place, that accusations had been made that the power had been used for purposes for which it was not necessary, and no attempt had been made to disprove those accusations ; and he felt that it was necessary that something should be dope to retrieve the character of the country.—(Hear.) (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'Clock. PROTECTION TO AGRICULTURE. Mr. LAWSON presented a petition from Yorkshire in favour of protection to agriculture. Mr. W. PATTEN presented petitions from Lanca shire to the same effect. An Hos. MEMBER on the Ministerial benches pre sented petitions from every parish in Huntingdon against any alteration in the corn-laws. Mr. MILES presented petitions from Somersetshire in favour of protection to agriculture. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a number of petitions from Lincolnshire to the same effect. Lord MARSIIMI presented similar petitions from Kent. Lord GRIIISTONE also presented petitions from I ertford. 4 Per cent 44 • cr Cent. 464 81. lbs. IL 58. 1 - 25. Bd. .si.

TROLLOPE presented petitions from Northum berland, Rutland, and Huntingdon, in favour of agricul tural protection. Mr. BOUVERIE presented a petition, signed by agri cultural labourers of Dorsetshire, praying for the re moval of all restrictive duties on articles of food. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN presented petitions from Northumberland, Huntingdon, Cambridge, and other places, in favour of agricultural protection. Mr. BECKETT presented similar petitions. Mr. B. ESCOTT presented similar petitions from Winchester and its neighbourhood. Mr. R. PALMER presented petitions to the same effect from Berkshire. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET presented 140 petitions from the county of Monmouth, in favour of protection to agriculture. Lord STANLEY presented several petitions to the same effect from North Lancashire, signed by sixteen or seventeen thousand persons. The Noble Lord was proceeding to explain to the House the manner in which the petition had been got up, when Mr. WAKLEY rose to order. It was against the rules of the House to speak on the merits of a petition on its presentation. He had often tried it himself; and he had always been met by being told that he could not make any statement on the presentation of a petition. Lord STANLEY conceived that his experience in these matters was quite as great as the Hon. Member's. The rule of the House was, that a Member could not discuss the merits of a petition, but must confine himself strictly to a statement of the object of the petition, and, on the present occasion, he was merely stating the par ties from whom the petition prcceeded. The petition was in favour of agricultural protection, and came from landowners and others in Lancashire. Amongst them were 23, out of 47, of the principal manufacturers of Preston, employing 1,588 horse power out of 3,522. It was also signed by 25 of the principal employers of hand-loom weavers in Blackburn and its neighbourhood. —(Cheers.) Mr. WAKLEY wished to ask the Noble Lord if that statement were embodied in the petition? Lord STANLEY said it was not, but he held in his hand a list of the parties to which he had referred, which the Hon. Gentleman might see if he wished. Mr. WAKLEY wished to ask the Speaker if the Noble Lord had been in order in the statement he had made ? The SPEAKER conceived the Noble Lord to be in order. If he had not done so, he should have felt it his duty to have interrupted him. Mr. WILSON PATTEN said he had been applied to by the petitioners to have the statement, which the Noble Lord had made, presented to the House. Mr. WAKLEY said he should on a future occasion take advantage of the opinion which had been expressed by the Speaker. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. WAKLEY said as this had been laid down from the chair to be strictly i❑ order, he should take care not to forget it on a future occasion. --(Hear, hear.) Sir G. HEATIICOTE presented 57 petitions from the county of Rutland, in favour of agricultural protection. Lord INGESTRE presented several petitions to the same effect. FREE LABOUR. Mr. HUTT gave notice that on this day fortnight he should bring before the House the subject of the immi gration of free negroes into the West Indies. THE WAR IN MOROCCO. Lord JOHN RUSSELL wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman (Sir R. Peel) a question, of which he had given notice, with respect to the state of the re lations between France and Morocco. He had delayed it until communications should have been received. It appeared that re-inforcements had lately been sent by the French Government to the frontier of Algiers, and it was said that the whole force was to amount to no less than 100,000, or nearly equal to the whole force of this great empire. There had lately been actual hostilities on the frontier of Algiers and Morocco. Whether they were provoked by the Morocco chiefs, as stated in the French newspapers, or whether the Emperor of Morocco had any other ac count to give of the origin of those hostilities, they were not informed. Any question which should lead to hostilities, and still more to war and invasion, on the part of France against Morocco, could not but be deeply interesting to this country, between which and Morocco relations of peace were established in 1801 and renewed in 1824. The persons and property of English subjects in Morocco were protected ; and there was an article in the treaty which had special reference to the provision ing of Gibraltar, being evidently considered by the parties who framed it of the utmost importance. Then, if any aggression or occupation on the part of France should tend to interrupt the means of communica tion of this country with the States of Morocco, that would occasion very serious inconvenience. —(Hear, hear.) No doubt the Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs had communicated with th e G overnment o f th King of the French on this subject ; and he (Lord J o h n Russell) wished t o ask the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the Government what was the nature of the explanation given, both as to the origin of the hostilities, and the extent to which they were likely to be carried?—(Hear, hear.) There was another subject upon which he wished to put a question to the Right Hon. Gentleman—that was with respect to any instructions which had been given to the Admiral who was appointed to command the expedition. —(Hear, hear.) The Admiral appointed was the Prince de Joinville, and he was sure that the mention of that name was enough to make every Englishman jealous on the subject.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. PEEL said the Noble Lord had been good enough to give him notice of the general tenor of his question, and he was prepared to give now the answer to that question, as far as he was able con sistently with his sense of public duty. He concurred with the Noble Lord in his observations as to the importance to this country of the States of Morocco. It was im possible to contemplate those States, and their present condition, without feeling deep interest. The re lations which had so long subsisted with Morocco and the fidelity with which that empire had always ob served its engagements, as well as the physical charac ter and position of the country itself, made its present exposed condition a matter of deep concern.—(Hear, hear.) In answer to the Noble Lord, he must state that the Government of France had entered into full explana tions with regard to the state of its relations with Mo rocco. The French Government had stated most posi tively that it was their most anxious wish to avoid hos tilities between France and Morocco. They stated the circumstances which led to the rupture. Those were, that when the Chieftain who had opposed the French in the north of Africa, and who was well known for his valour and perseverance, was pressed, he sought refuge within the territory of Morocco. He there re -organised his forces, and was enabled by thn subjects of the Emperor, if not by the Emperor himself, to renew hostilities. That led to an interruption' of the friendly relations of France with Morocco, and hostilities were commenced by the directions of the Emperor. There was subsequently a casual collision of the French and Moorish troops. An amicable conference subsequently took place, during which, according to the telegraphic dispatch, the French were assailed. Of the facts of this encounter, he knew no more than was conveyed in the dispatch. The French Government also stated, that nothing was further from their wish than to enter upon hostili ties with Morocco ; and they regretted the necessity of their doing so. They had communicated to her Majesty's Government their general views with regard to Morocco, and had apprized this Government _of the general demands of the Emperor, and the manner which they intended to adopt to enforce those demands, which, of course, included the general instructions to the Admiral. He thought the Noble Lord would expect that he should explain the purport of those instructions. —(Hear, hear.) He trusted implicitly to the assurances which he had received, and they were satisfactory. He was sure the Noble Lord would not expact him to state anything further now ; but when the time came that there were no considerations of public duty to pre vent him, he would then have no objection to be more explicit. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that although he would not press the Right Hon. Baronet further at the present time, yet the Right Hon. Gentleman must excuse him if, on a future occasion, he alluded to this subject. COURSE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. • In answer to a question from Mr. Scott, on the sub ject of the Poor Laws, Sir R. PEEL said ho would take that opportunity of stating what course the Government intended to pursue with respect to public bt sines'. On T. uralay next he proposed to proceed with the Commii.ee on the Bank Charter Bill, but he should in the first instance propose that the Sugar Duties Bill should be read time, provided the motion which the Noble Lord had to make on the subject, did not interfere with the third reading. After the Bank Charter, he would propose the third reading of the Dissenter's Chapels' Bill on T u sday week, and in case that Bill was read a third time. On Thursday, his Right Hon. Friend would proceed with the Poor Law Amendment Bill. on Friday. On Monday he proposed to proceed with the second reading of the Irish Registration Bill, which he hoped would bd convenient for Gentlemen connected with Ireland. Mr. S. FFRENCH said that several Irish Members would have to go next week to attend the assizes." Sir R. PEEL said, he had endeavoured to meet the wishes of Hon. Gentlemen connected with Ireland, and lie had fixed Monday next, because he understood that that day would not be inconvenient to them. Lord J, RUSSELL said, that what lie should have to say on the subject of the Sugar duties would go into a small compass, but he would not answer for the length of the debate. He hoped that next week either the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Govern mem, or the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, would bo ready to state what course the Govern ment intended to pursue with respect to the Ecclesiasti cal Courts Bill, and the County Courts Bill, before Hon. and Learned Gentlemen went on the circuit. GAMING LAWS. Lord PALMERSTON wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government during the present Ses sion to bring in a Bill founded on the report of the Com mittee on the Gaming Laws. Sir J. DRATIAM did not think the matter of suffi cient importance to introduce a Bill in the course of the present Session, but ho would bring one in in the course of next Srssion. Lord PALMERSTON wished to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet intended to continue, till next ses sion, the Bill passed for the Suspension of Actions ? Sir J. GRAHAM said, the Bill was not introduced by Government, and he was not prepared to undertake the conduct of the Bill. FRAME -WORK KNITTERS. Mr. FERRAND wished to know why no Commis sioner had visited Nottingham, to inquire into the truth of the allegations in the petition of the frame-work knitters, which he had presented some time since. Sir J. GRAHAM said that Commissioners had been appointed to inquire into the state of the hand-loom weavers and the frame-work knitters, and he had no doubt they would soon visit the county of Nottingham. ORANGE PROCESSIONS. Mr. WYSE wished to know whether it was the in tention of the Government to continue the Orange Pro cessions Bill, which was about to expire on the Ist day of August. If the Right lion. Baronet did not wish now to answer the question, he woutd give a regular notice on the subject. Sir J. GRAHAM said, if the Right Hon. Gentleman would give notice either for to-morrow or Friday, he would then answer the question. Mr. WYSE said, as we understood, that he would give notice for to-morrow. IRISH STATE TRIALS. Sir R. PEEL said that the Right Hon. Gentleman had given notice of a motion with respect to the Irish State trials for the 2d of July. Now the bearing of the writ of error, as he understood was fixed for the 4th of that month ; now he would put it to the Right Hon. Gentleman whether he would bring forward the motion when the Attorney-General for Ireland, and also the Attorney-General for England could not be in their places. He trusted the Right lion. Gentleman would feel it but just that he should bring it in on some other day. Mr. WYSE said in answering the Right Hon. Baronet he must claim the indulgence of the House. He had already deferred his notice on account of the discussions which were going on in the Court of Queen's Bench ; but it must be recollected that the subject of his motion had relation to facts rather than to law. It should also be remembered that thdre was a very strong opinion among Hon. Members, that upon the occasion alluded to the trial had been an unfair one,—(Load cries of hear, hear)—and the conviction was not justified by the cir cumstances.—(Cheers.)—He (Mr. Wsse) did not feel justified in putting off his motion, unless some specific day was fixed for it.---(Hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT PEEL was of opidion that in common ustice to the Attorney-General for Ireland, the motion should be postponed until he was at liberty fully to be prepared for it, and to give his undivided attention to it. So strong was his opinion of the injustice that would be done if the motion was not postponed, that he should be ready to use the power of Government to as sign some other day f or it s di scuss i on . —(H ear. ) Mr. WYSE said as the Right Hon. Baronet was wil ling to assist in giving another day for the discussion of the motion, he should be disposed to consult his conve nience as far as he could, safely do so ; but he could give no specific undertaking upon the subject, until he had conferred with Hon. Members of the House, who were deeply interested in the matter.—The conversation then dropped. CAPTAIN STODDART AND COL. CONOLLY. Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the Right Hon. Baronet the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Government had received any communication from Dr. Wolff, since his departure on his mission to the Khan of Bokhara? Sir R. PEEL said the question was one involving considerations so important to the feelings of individuals, that he would rather not answer it at that moment, with out having had notice of it. If the Hon. Member would put it to him on Thursday or Friday next, he would give him the best and latest information in possession of the Government. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, seeing the Right Hon. the Secretary of State in his place, wished to put a question to him as to a Bill that was in circulation, entitled " A Bill for the better administration of justice in the county of Middlesex," and purporting to be printed by order of the House of Commons. He begged to know whether Right Hon. Baronet intended to bring in such a Bill ; and if so, when ? Sir J. GRAHAM was not aware that any such Bill was in circulation ; a Bill had been printed for the pur pose of being shown to a few persons in confidence, and of obtaining information. Mr. DUNCOMBE said he had not seen the Bill him self, but it had been [shown to some members of the Marylebone Vestry, and it appeared on the face of it, " Printed by order of the House of Commons." Sir J. GRAHAM said there must be some error in that designation. A Bill on the subject had been printed, and shown in confidence to a few persons, as the most convenient mode of obtaining information on the ques tion involved, and ascertaining their opinions ; but he had not yet decided in what shape the Bill was to as sume, or the provisions it was to contain. SEES OF ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY, in withdrawing his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal so much of the Act 6 and 7 Will. IV, c. 77, as relates to the union of the sees of St. Asap!' and Bangor, said, he must ask the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) to state more explicitly than he had yet done what his intentions were with regard to this measure. On the present occasion, he did not intend to go into the question ; but as there was an opinion out of doors that the consent of her Majesty would be required be fore any further progress could be made, he begged to ask whether if that consent should be required, it would be withheld by the Government. Sir R. PEEL said, that if the Hon. Gentleman had brought forward his motion, he would have felt it his duty to appose it. The question, whether or not the consent of the Crown was necessary, was one involving many complicated considerations; and he did not under take to say whether, if it were declared to be necessary in the present instance, it would be given by the Government. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY said that, though it might be necessary to renew the motion at a future period, he should, for the present, withdraw it. CORN LAWS. Mr. C. VILLIERS then rose to move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee, for the purpose of considering vhe following resolutions :—That it appears by a recent census that the people of this country are rapidly increasing in number. That it is in evidence before this House that a large proportion of her Majesty's subjects are insufficiently provided with the first neces saries of life. That, nevertheless, a corn-law is in force, which restricts the supply of food, and thereby lessens its abundance. That any restriction, having for its object to impede the free purchase of any article upon which depends the subsistence of the community, is in defensible in principle, injurious in operation, and ought to be abolished. That it is therefore expedient that the Act 5 and 6 Victoria c. 14, shall be repealed forthwith." The Honourable Member said the purpose of the motion of which he had given notice was, that of once again bringing under the consideration of that House the claim, so just, so important in itself, made on the part of the community at large, that the trade in the first necessary of life, now restricted by the Act of that House, should be in future unfettered and wholly free. He could most truly say that such was the importance which he attached to this claim, that if he for one moment imagined that the power with which it was presented to the House could in any way effect its success, nothing would have induced him to become the instrument of making the motion on that occasion. However, this was notoriously not the case. He had upon two occasions brought this matter before the Ilouse, and had been supported by Members of the greatest ability who had left nothing unsaid that could be urged in its favour, and this had been done in vain. It might, perhaps, be asked, upon what grounds, therefore, he now proceeded to renew this appeal. He thought he might take credit for not having adopted this course without due consideration. If those who were united with him in opinion on that subject, had been silent upon] it during this session, their opponents would not have been slow to infer that either by their overwhelming influence, or their persuasive eloquence, they had been induced to fly from the field—that they were satisfied with the former decision of that House A notion more foreign to the truth could not be imagined by anybody. But he thought the public were likely also to have concurred in this view if they had remained silent, con.' sidering the novel attitude which country gentleman had assumed on this question during the past year. Those gentlemen had considered it expedient, for the purpose of maintaining this law, or of conciliating public opinion, to descend into the field of public agitation, and they had followed closely in the track of that body who were leagued together in opposition to them, It would have appeared somewhat remarkable, considering the appeal which had been made, if th ere had been no dis cussion in that House. Their meetings appeared to have been somewhat select, and they seemed rather to have agitated themselves than to have succeeded in awakening much sympathy for their cause. But inasmuch as their professions appeared so large in print, and as there had been no lack of confidence on the other side, it would have been somewhat curious, if when the parties had met on common ground there had been no opportunity of fair argument in that House. The public expected an opportunity of judging fairly between the contending parties. He saw little reason for despair, and some for hope, in this continued discussion on this question. He was unable to explain, unless from a conviction of the substantial justice of the anti-corn-law cause, why the Government had not allowed any month of last session to pass without abandoning some portion of the ground on which the opposite system was based.— (Hear, hear, and cheers.) H e did not say this from any idle wish to make mischief between the two sections of the opposite party. It seemed to him that they were deriving all the advantage from discussion which, with a cause based on truth and justice, they were likely to do. They were gradually gaining ground, whilst those who were opposed to them were gradually losing ground.—(Hear, hear.) Public opinion had fortunately great influence with this country ; and it was on this ground, that that important body which was opposed to monopoly were entitled to the gratitude of mankind. Hon. Gentlemen opposite were now unable to defend this law on its real merits ; they assigned any ground but the true one. Such deference was not necessary to paid to public opinion that any law or insti tution which was assailed, must be defended on public grounds. It was the difficulty of the opposite party that they could not defend the common law upon any material, general, or public grrunds, and that the people felt themselves agrieved by it. It was pposed by a vigilant active, and intelligent body, who had, in every way, examined, criticized, and tested every ground on which the law was maintained, and they found that every ground on which it had stood was un tenable. —He asked them on what ground the suppor ters of the law now rested their defence ? There was no one ground which he had heard, since he came into that House, that had not been thoroughly examined, and completely exposed. —(Hear, hear.) He was anxious, therefore, to hear what further ground was to be examined. The ground upon which it was placed when first introduced was the most plausi ble, before it was tested by experience, when it proved to be the most foolish on which it could stand—that was, that it was dangerous for this country to be dependent for its supply of food on other countries, and that there fore every thing should be done to encourage and pro tect English agriculture. Plausible as it seemed at first, experience proved that argument to be most foolish. It was assumed that we might depend upon other counting for our-revenue, and for the means of employ- meat to millions of our people, whereby they should obtain bread, but not dependent for the bread itself.—(Cries of "Hear, hear.") That was the plan for the first enactment of the law—a plan which at the time all thinking men divided, and now all dis interested men denounced and ridiculed. The returns laid before the House during the last twenty years should that since the law was passed we had been dependent on other countries for large supplies of corn, and in the last five years to the amount of 17,000,000 quarters of corn —(Hear, hear.)—and that too a supply not raised wtth a view to this country, but obtained under circum stances the most disadvantageous to us.—(Hear, hear.) During the thirteen years of the duration of the law passed in 1815, there was actually imported from from foreign countries no less than thirty millions worth of corn for the consumption of the people of this country. Therefore he did not expect that the advocates for monopoly in the home market, would allege a sufficiency of home supply as an excuse—at least, he weuld not expect such an excuse from any man having a re gard for truth and reputa!ion. Whether this soil would or could not produce enough to support the peo ple, of Great Britain, he could not pretend to say that the fact stood upon record, that it had not produced enough, and that we had been obliged to import more [corn from foreign countries during the last thirty years than they had done before. He had considered what were the other excuses urged in support of this law, and having listened with attention to them all, he must say that they had been every one shown to be futile and totally insufficient. He had heard from Honourable Gentlemen oppposite, on pre vious occasions, when this subject was discussed, that those connected with the ownership of lands had no interest in their continuance, but they supported the Corn-laws because those dependent on them (the landowners) had a direct interest in their maintenance. It was now, however, ascertained beyond a doubt, that neither the farmer, nor the farmer's labourer, nor any other class in the community derived any benefit from these laws, except the landowners them selves.—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) No Member of any agricultural county would now, he thought, ven ture for a moment to urge this flimsy pretext, so pal pably absurd, as any reason for the continuance of the corn-laws, no Hon. Member would here stand up and say the farmers or their labourers had any in terest whatever in it.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The interest of these classess in these laws, had been fully and fairly inquired into by an active body and it was ascertained upon the most searching investigation that so far from the corn-laws being of any service to them there was no thing would benefit the farmer and the agricultural labourer more than the total and immediate repeal. The claims of no class had been more prominently or more frequently protruded upou the public than those of the farmers. But if there was any doubt that corn-laws were injurious to the farm er h e (M r. Villi ers) had undertake to bring before the bar of that House, or before a Committee, such a body of evidence as would leave no doubi on the subject. For the last 30 years the farmers had boen, of all men, the most embarrassed. But what had these corn-laws given to these classes ? Why it was notorious that they had derived no benefit from it.—(Hear, hear.) There was such competition that it excluded the farmer from the slightest advan tage from the corn-laws. The farmer had been duped and deceived by the promises of the corn laws.—(Hear, hear.) The landlords had told them that they would insure him a certain price for his corn; and what had been the result ? Why, that he had been deluded and deceived. All the exemptions that had been procured for the farmer in the payment of taxes, there was not a land lord in the House who did not know that they coneributed to swell the rent of the land owner.—(Hear, hear.) The Members of that House dare not call a single farmer before them and ask him whether what they had done in that House as they said for him had been at all to his benefit. 'Whatever relief they had procured for the farmer through Parliament. only swelled the rent of the landowner.—(Hear, hear.) The farmers held their land not for the in terest of themselves or the community but the landlords. He would venture to say, from the informa tion he had received, that net a Member in that House would dare to get up and say the corn-laws were for the benefit of the farmers, and that it existed for their interests. He defied Honourable Members to say that the law was conti nued for such purp oses . But then it was said it was for the labourers interests that the price of food should be high. There was a volume before them produced by the la bours of a Commission of that House, which effec tually disproved that assertion. No man in the face of that volume could dare to rise and say that These laws were for the advantage of the labourers. Their mouths were all stopped—they were) dosed by the evidence of their own Commission. This was an authority which they did not dare dispute. That evidence proved that no one could be lower in the scale ofcivilisation than the agricultural labourer; so much so indeed that he had become so depraved as to be almost placed out of the pale of civilization. Scarcely a day passed that they did not read in the leading journals of the country discussions as to the cause of their dis affection.

Frederick Martin, an itiners”'ra n )r of ginger beer, was brought before Mr. Broul WWI rged with having obstructed the public thoroi in Old-street, St. Luke's, at seven o'clock on the previous morning. Police -constable Jenkinson, U 53, stated that he was on duty in Old-street at the time mentioned, when he saw the prisoner standing with a truck containing ginger beer at the edge of the carriage -way. On being desired to move away the prisoner immediately shifted the truck to the other side of the street, but refused to go any fur ther, and according to directi ons h e h a d received, witness took possession of the truck, and conveyed the prisoner to the station-house. Mr. BROUGUTON asked the policeman by what au thority he took the man into custody under such circum stances? The policeman said that he had received orders from his sergeant in the event of such persons refusing to go away when so directed, that he was to convey their com modities to the green•yard and themselves to the station house. Mr. BROUGHTON said that if such orders bad really been issued they ought unquestionably to have been communicated to the Magistrates. As far as his expe rience went, such articles were openly sold under the very eye of the police in all parts of the town, and it was but right that they should be so cheap as to bring them within the limited means of the poor, who would other wise be altogether precluded from such indulgencies. Inspector Jarvis said that he himself was not aware of any such order as the policeman had alluded to, although it, of course, was part of the duties of the police to prevent those obstructions that gave rise to public complaint or inconvenience. Mr. BROUGHTON observed that it was impossible that the slightest obstruction could have been occasioned in the present instance, as the road in question was suffi ciently wide for six carriages to stand abreast, and there could scarcely have been any traffic going on at that early hour in the morning. He knew of no law that would authorise the punishment of the defendant under such circumstances, and he should, therefore discharge him. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 24., BISHOPRICS OF ST. ASAPH END BANGOR BILL. On the motion for the House resolving itself into a Committee on this Bill, Lord MONTEAGLE wished to know whether the Noble Duke opposite had the cons en t o f her Majesty to th e pa ss ing of this Bill, as during the last session of Parliament the Noble . Duke had recom mended the Noble Earl (Powis) to withdraw the Bill until the consent of her Majesty had been ob tained. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he had not received her Majesty's consent to the Bill. In answer to a question from Lord CAMPBELL, Tho Duke of WELLINGTON said he should oppose the motion for the Bill to go through Com mittee. Lord MON TEAGLE then rose t o ca ll th e i r Lord ships' attention to the principle upon which this Bill was founded. H e had been one of the lay com missioners upon whose report the union, of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor had taken place. That Commission, in their report, recommended the establishment of a bishopric of Manchester, and they also recommended - the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. Several other equally important recommendations were made and acted upon, and he contended that this Bill, if passed, would render ineffectual the steps which had been taken upon the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Com mission. He thought it would be unjust to the paro chial clergy of North Wales to pass this Bill, and he believed that if it should be sanctioned by their Lord ships it would create discontent and distress amongst that portion of her Majesty's subjects. --, i . 10e. 00 00 173% 110 226 169 iig 13% 21 17% 20a. 50 66 54 12 193 i THE SUN, LONDON TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 25, 1P44.
