Mr. COKE rose to present h Petition from the Hundred of Greenhoe in the county of Norfolk, complaining of distress, and praying Reform in Parliament. The Petition set forth that taxation was the cause of their distress, and that the enor mous sums raised by it were lavished to increase the influence of the Crovin, by maintaining a corrupt majority in .that House, and to keep up a large standing army for no .other purpose than that of subduing the Constitutional feelings of a justly indignant people. It stated that the majority of the House was always ready to support any Adminis tration, however corrupt and tyrannical. The Hon. Member expressed his concurrence in the prayer of the Petition, and said ,that, in the face of the distress of the country,Ministers had come down and stated that nothing could be done to alleviate it. Notwithstanding thig some measures had been forced from them. But he considered the relief now promised was nothing short of an insult to the eauntry. From the conduct of the House he was almost ashamed of the place he .held in it. He was quite astonished at seeing country Gentlemen go so far with Ministers,when it was evidently to their own destruction. There was nothing which they were not ready to do, and he was quite astonished at their behaviour. We understood the Hon. Mem ber to say that he thought more relief would be afforded to the country by taking off the whole of the malt duties than by the repeals which had been proposed. Mr. FREEMANTLE objected to thellanguage of the Peti tion, but in a tone of voice not audible in' the gallery. He moved that it be-rejected. Ms. CURWEN thought the real duty of the House to con sist in their removing the ground of such imputations as the Petition contained. Mr. JAMES saw no objection to the language of the Pe tition. He rose to notice a mistake into which the Petitioners appeared to hiM to have fallen.. l t was not to keep up the in fluence of the Crown that such lavish and wasteful acts were committed, and he thought it almost high treason to say so. It was 'to maintain the influence of the boroughmongers. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY thought that House had a right to claim that it should be approached in a tone of petition and not of remonstrance. He was quite sure -that it ,could never acknowledge the latter spirit without lowering itself in the respect which it had always received from the country. He was satisfied that the present Petition did come, before them in a tone of remonstrance. The- prayer for Re.) form was most proper and constitutional ; but it was not pre ferred in that tone of respect which they must insist upon if they ineaneto preserve their authority, their dignity, and their character. Under this description he could not persuade him self that the Petition cafne ' and he felt himself bound to reject it, although he did so with great pain. Mr. CALCRAFT said it was clear that the' forwardness of his Hon. Friend had evidently placed the Noble Lord in an unpleasant situation. It was some time before he said any thing about the petition, and now he had spoken of it in very mild language. He thought the House • would agree in the general principles laid down by the Noble Lord as to the re spect due to its authority. But he thought that if a petition contaited exprpsaicins that were harsh and doubtful, and that even I they could ..be distorted , into: disrespect or insult, 2t 1.:Vo their doors should be opened so wide as-to admit it. He could see nothing in the petition before them which was adverse to its being received. What it contained had often been re peated there, and doubtless would be again. Were they "not accustomed to say that taxation . was grievous? 'Was it not a fact that pensions and useless offices were -kept up, by which many Members of the House were under. the direct influence of the. Crown ? With regard to the standing army, he had always said that it was greater than was at all necessary for proper purposes, and it had been used in some instances under very suspicious circumstances. He could not help thinking that his Hon. Friend had displayed a little . too much zeal in moving for the rejection the petition. . Sir R. WILSON said that the Honourable Gentleman op posite could not, as a man of honour, deny that seats in that House were bought and sold to his own knowledge. Ile thought the petition ought to be received. • Mr. C. WKNN had always considered that a petition ought not to be rejected upon . any particnlar expressions or words which it might contain, but upon.t4e general spirit in which it was drawn up: If he looked at the intention from the general spirit of the present petition, lie thought it was plainly intended to insult the House. The Bight Honourable Gentleman repeat ed the objectionable passages, and said that the language if true was a justification of rebellion. If it were allowed to pass, he must own that he knew not where they w e re to stop, and , by what it might not be follosied.- He felt that they must make a stand where they believed there was an.intention to insult the House, and he should consequently vote for the rejection of the petition. _ _ Sir J. NEWPORT thought they were bound to open as far as _possible the doors of the House to the petitions of the people, and that by so doing they should best consult the dig nity and the authority of the House. To a very large propor tion Of what was contained in the Petition he perfectly con sented. Could he deritthat in many instances the House of Commons had heeri:' lavish and wasteful to a degree ? . Had they not themselves sanctioned the keeping up of useless offices ? They -could. not therefore deny[the people the right of complaining that such things did exist. There were cer tainly some words in the petition which he regretted, but they ought not to be scrupulous about expressions in a -time of . dis tress like the' present. The House would best consult its own dignity by receiving the petition. Mr. Secretary PEEL must confess that the spirit in which the Noble Lord had spoken upon the subject-was in perfect consistence with the rules which he -had laid chiwn. If. there had been any hesitation on the part of his Noble Friend, it was that of wishing to hear the Petition read a second time; in order to see if it might be passed over without any sacrifice of the character of the House. If the Petition had-adhered to:the topics and the grounds which the Hon. Baronet had laid down;: he (Mr. Peel) should have comeol the same conclu4on as the. Hon. Baronet did, as to the propriety of receiving it. But-it was because he could not. reconcile its.language with those justifiable grounds of petitioning, that he felt bound with the' greatest reluctance to vote for its rejection: There was also a point of form which at once struck him as-being objectiona.. ble in - the wording of the Petition. It was called a remon strance. Now if his recollection served him right, it was uni formly the custom to call such applications Petitions. He should not have considered this a sufficient reason 'for rejecting the Petition ; but when he looked for the animus in which :the whole-liad.been drawn up, and he foUnd this word remon stsancein conjunction with . . the language he had beard in the second reading of :the PetitiOn; he had no difficulty in dere& mining that it ought not to be received.. He was convinced that it would form a rule that would lead to future Petitions of a still more .objectionable nature.. If the language it con,. mined were not insulting to; tife liouse;- he:. was at a loss - to know-what would be_so. - If. - . What the Petitioneri stated were true, - they had better abdicate this:branch of the legislature at once. Heassured the House -that it was with the greatest pain he came to the . conclusion - of voting against the reception of the petition. - Mr. J. SMITH did not believe many of the allegations con tained in the Petition. The one with regard to the Army was altogether.false. He wag certain that 'those who composed it, were wholly .'. incapable of the conduct imputed to them. But he felt, considerable difficulty in.. rejecting- a Petition of this., kind, and he was determined not to do so by what bad fallen from the Right lion. Gentleman opposite who had lately ac cepted office. The Right Hon. Gentleman said, that beim rejecting a- Petition they .ought to 'be satisfied that there was an intended insult, and this had not been made out--in the present case.- He believed that there.were many persons. who' thought' every word. contained in this Petition to be - true. He, 'how: ever, did not think.so, and he knew that part of it; which Fe- latcd to the Army, to be grossly false. . Mr. Secretary PEEL explained. - The House then divided on the motion for receiving the re. tition, when theie appeared -4.- - :: • •-• For the Motion - - ' 7 55 - Against it it . •89 • .. • Majority . - And the Petition was consequently rejected. Mr. COKE then rose to present another Petition for Reform from the County of Norfolk. It was, the Hon. Member said, from a County he was proud to represent, and it contained the sentiments of men who sheaved that they were determined man fully to speak their minds even in the worst of times. The Petition was confined to 'a prayer for Reform. It was worded according to the feelings he possessed himself, and - there was not an expression in it in which he did not heartily concur. - He considered that the Country was reduced to poverty and ap proaching ruin by the present Administration; an Administra tion composed of Ministers who were altogether callous to the sufferings of the people. Although the Petition had been agreed to at a most respectable county meeting, he could scarcely hope that it would be received as it was worded at present. lie had however derived much satisfaction at Witness ing the respectable minority on the late motion for a .Reformin that House; -and he had no doubt that if the corrupt part of the majority were taken away, it would be found that that mo tion had been carried. ' The Petition was then brought up, read, and (no opposition being offered to it) was ordered to lie on the table and be printed. , Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH presented a Petition from certain Landowners of the county of Derby against the Bill before the House for altering the Corn Laws.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. CALVERT brought up the Report on the Assize of Bread Bill, which was ordered to be taken into consideration on Wednesday next. Mr. DENISON presented a Petition from - certain Protestant Dissenters of the County of Surrey, complaining of the disabi lities to which they were exposed by the present law, and pray ing for relief.—Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. MARRIOTT presented a Petition from several whole sale and retail Grocers of London against,the renewal of the West India Dock Charter. The. Petitioneis stated that the Charter had been extended, upon an assurance from the. Co mpany in favour of the Petitioners, which had not been carried. into effect. They prayed that.their Petition might be referred to the Foreign Trade Committee.—Ordered. , Sir W. DE CRESPIGNY presented a Petition from seve ral Protestants of Southam a on, against the Be' Licence Bill. —Ordered to lie on the table. NAVAL AND MILITARY PENSIONS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the order of the day for receiving the report of the Committee on the payment of Naval and Military Pensions. • Lord A. HAMILTON rose and complained, that a Bill for abolishing certain situations in the Courts of Judicature in Scotland, which it was admitted by the House ought to be brought in, which the Learned Lord had received permission to introduce, and which he had actually introduced; had been suddenly abandoned. He wished to know from the Learned Lord why the measure had been thrown aside ? • The LORD ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND said, the mea sure was one which required much eonsideration. It would be impossible to abolish the paces in question, to which salaries to the amount of 4,0001. or 5,0001 a-year were attached, without granting an indemnity; besides which, it would be necessary to provide persons to do the duties connected with those offices. Sir J.lll/iCKINTOSII thought the question which stood for this night was entitled to precede others for particular eircuni stances. The motion of his Hon. Friend could not be so well discussed in the absence of the Learned Lord opposite. He would put it therefore to the sense of equity and propriety which the Right Hon. Gentleman must admit to exist in bringing for ward a question of Scottish law while the first law officer for Scotland in that House was present, foigiving precedence to his Hon. Friend's motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that his motion had already been, postponed': r three days, though it was a subject which on ordinary octaions had been considered to _be entitled to priority. _He hoped the Him- Gentleman • . • - • ; • PRICE SEVI;NPENCE. could make his arrangements for bringing forwatd his motion to-morrow. Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH said that he could not:suffer • any motion to take precedence of his motion, which!. in his opinion at least, was one of paraniount importance.—(ll s ar I) Mr. KENNEDY could not h e lp ex pr ess i ng hiS ment of the refusal of the Right lion. Gentleman. It yeas ndt on his own account, but on account of the bearnect:Lora, that , he asked for th e• accommodation. • The question was then put, that the Report be now brought , . up. - 111r. - CALCRAFT said thaftbe proposition to remit 261.'0ut of 301. per .ton of salt was received with satisfaction.

The Right' Hom Gentleman .was acting one. thing ; and pro fessing another. -The resolutiOu'of that Ilonst• had been for a clgar.positive surplus of 5,0011;0001: The Right Hon.

Why, then, •by such co : mg-tared. machinery aired to.have a sinking fund of 5,000,0001., and depart _from' hii Own principle of a surplus ? The Right. Bon.' Gentlernan had bUrrnwedilo;ooJ6oool. in five years at 61 or 62,and paid at 65 or 66 ;. so that- fife-whole of 5,000,0001: was abs - orbed bY the operation. .He moved.,: therefore, an amendment which he hoped the House wouldsUpport. If the. House should support' the measure of tile Right Hon. Gentleman, experience would• prove. that they supported. a •proposition as fallacious as that which declared one pound andone shilling to be equivalent•to a guinea. He moved that it - wasexpedient_ to take fronl the Sinking Fund an annual sum equal to the relief' from taxittoti required, instead of raising it by loan-or annnity. Mr. GRENFELL said he did not understand whether the effect of the amendment would be w put an extinguisher orithe whole theasure. • Ile had before expressed - his opinion, ,that when the suni in the hands of the commissioners was.Nual the loan which might on any occasion be required,it would*: beneficial that they should advance it. Holding that - Wit/On, , he yet would not hazard the advantages propoSed. by the•prat. sent -measure, because the Commissioners did hot advance .the . loan. If he . Coilld:not; hotvever,.(the Hon.

DAVIES said the amendment went merely to put the Sinking Fund in the sitnation of the present annuitants, and he, phould therefore support the amendment. • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEHQUER said he should decline going over arguments which he, had offered be fore, and which had received the sanction 'of 'the House. The present plan, he contended, was not at all inconsistent with the principles he had stated on a former occasion. He should op. pose the amendment Mr. RICARDO said, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to bring in a clause, to be inserted in his own Bill, authorising these Commissioners to , deal with one an. other.-4.A. laugh.)—The Right Honourable Gentleman had told the House he was not so young a man' or so young in of fice as to bring forward a measure which he could not carry into effect. The present measure had however failed in . the first instance, and the Right Hon. Gentleman was no r.put to his shifts. It was not improbable that, afi.er all, the Right Hon. Gentleman would come down to the House, and honestly confess that the five millions of Sinking rund was a delusioq., and that it was now reduced to three. He should vote for the amendment. - - • • ..The Marquis of LONDONDERRY congratulated thy , House on the two jokes they had heard ; one from the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. lkoughano, and the other fiori) the Hon. Member for Portarlington.—(A laugh -Nothing whatever in the shape of argument had been offered in support of the amendment.—(Cheers from the Opposition.)--Something Was said about the age'of his Honourable Friend ; but it had not been shewn that his proposal partook of either infancy or age. The difference Of expense to the public as to the second set of Commissioners would be very trifling ; and if,,.there e fore, nothing further were offered against.it, he considered the plan of his Right Hon. Friend to be altogether untouched.:- 7 The Amendment before the House went i t.o restrict their opera? . tions, and to force them to.borrow from the . Sinking Fund ; whereas it was the object of the original, Resolution to enable thOcontracting parties to deal with whatever Stock they migßt think advantageous. The Annuity Stock might be what wa+4 termed a: heavy article on - - the, market, and.therefeie it was desirable that both sides should have - a certain discretionary power with regard to it, that the Trustees and the Commission ers of the Sinking Fund might possess the full power of dealing freely with .each other. It was for that reason that it would be desirable that the Amenliment of the Hon. 'Member fqr Pedryn (Mr. Grenfell) should be adopted. It was an error iii the Sinking Fund Act not tc;have given that power to the Corq rnissioners ; and in adopting that Hon. Gentleman's amend ment, they would only be executing the spirit of the originl measure. - The plan of his Right Hon. Friend was to place all the parties in the best and most advantageous state. It gave an additional purchaser to the one, and an additional article.to the other, to go to market with. His Right Hon. Friend was taunted with having brought forward a scheme upon false ex pectations ; he certainly had expected that if that House should vote it, it would be accomplished; and he had also hoped to - make it a national plan. When he broUght it forward he knew of one great Company at leaSt, the. South Sei Company, that was willing to contract, and be begged to say,, that, in whatever \light that Company might be regarded, it was not for want of funds that it bad faded in realizing the expect tations Of his .Right Ilonourable Friend. Money enough had been Subscribed, but other causes operated in inducing them. to .reject, a participation in this plan.
