The proper knowledge of Mankind is Man,—Pore, [MORNING POST.I Mr. Alderman Wood made his promised mo tion in the House of Commons, last night, rela tive to the disturbances at li,nightsbridge on the occasion of the funeral of the men shot by the military in their own defence. The subject was introduced by the Alderman with becoming gra vity ; and notwithstanding he pat forth some of his most persuasive eloquence on the occasion, we need scarcely inform our readers, after the expositions which have already appeared in our columns of the utter groundlessness and falsehood of the whole tale, that he could not prevail upon the House to waste its valuable time in making any further inquiry into the case. Mr. Secretary Peel, in a temperate and dignified reply .to the worthy Alderman and the junior Member for Westminster, declared that without going into the counter evidence in his possession, taken on oath, the ex-parte evidence printed by the Com mon Council was sufficient to satisfy him " that the allegations of the letter of Mr. SheriWWaith man to Earl Bathurst, as well as that of the Pe tition, were not founded in fact !" The Right lion. Gentleman having thus justly expressed himself, immediately turned to the pages of the Common Council evidence, by which he com pletely established the grounds of his conviction. Thus was this notorious case exploded by the very means brought for Ward as its foundation.— This is exactly as we predicted it would be ; but as we have already advised our readers 'of the precise individual who led the discussion, they will not of course be surprised at the result. We cannot however quit the subject without adverting to the just observations of Mr. \V. Lamb, in regard to a common practice of libelling the people of Eogland, as our base fac, tions are in the habit, of doing. There can be no stigma affixed to the national character' so im perishable, as that which would leave " the People" to be defended by the political im postors of the day, Those who played their parts in the . Knightsbridge and Cumberland-gate scenes, in vain endeavour to place themselves in' that light. It is a shameless insult upon the country to say that " the People " were con, corned in those outrages. Their perpetrators were the common, scum which must necessarily obtain in all society, and such are well worthy of i t he :nca who light thei r battles. [ - MORNING BERALD.I LThere are accounts from Corfu of the.2/d of January, which contain hardly any thing beyond .grOss accusations of a partial and sordidly-inte rested course of conduct towards the Greeks on the part of the English. Government of' the lonian Islands. The High Commission, as that Government is denominated, is charged With in triguing against the Greeks, and detaching from them their Albanian Confederates--with supply ing Turkish garrisons with provisions at the mo ment of last necessity—with rigidly excluding the Greeks" from all: m e a ns. of. supply—and lastly, with harsh and inhospitable treatment of the Greek families who..fled to the Islands. One instance is given of several men, women, and children arbitrarily detained on board ship,until, shocking to relate, three women and their new born infants died' of premature accouchement, brought on by suffering from , sea.sickness.- This may be exaggerated—perhaps even unfounded. But at all events, the English name for the last four years has suffered more dishonour in the transactions relating to these Islands, ,and the . forced desertion of Parga, than by any exercise of British power or administration our history, [MORNING CIIIIONIaLE.] The proceedings in the House of Commons last night are deserving of more consideration than our limits will allow us to bestow on them. The two subjects which chiefly occupied the House were the affair at Knightsbridge —where the Civil authority of the. County was so grossly insulted, and the Salt Tax, the gradual repeal of which was moved by Mr. Calcraft. No one of our nu.. merous tares is more oppressive and ruinous in its operation than the Salt Tax. It stands too already condemned by-the Report of a Com mittee of the House. It was accordingly ex pected that the. Country Gentlemen, whose votes on several occasions of late have not been very reconcileable 'kith their previous professions at public Meetings, would, not to lose their credit altogether, make a stand here against 'Ministers. The anticipation has not been belied by the re sult, Sir E. Knatchbull,, Messrs. G ooch, Stewart Wortley, Wodehouse, .&c. ranged themselves on this occasion against Ministers, and though Lord Londonderry protested that the deduction of 500,0001. from the Salt Tax would endanger that Sinking Fund which, is to save the country, and enable Landbolders to obtain money on mort gage at a low interest, they still courageously voted with Mr. Calcraft. The motion was lost by a majority of only four. We leave it for. others to pronounce whether this is a - Ministerial victory, or a Ministerial defeat. Will Ministers, under such circumstances, dare to retain this tax [unxrisu PRESS.] • Mr. Calcraft brought forward his promised motion respectido• the expediency of repealing the duty upon saa. A. Committee appointed by the House of. Commons in the Session of 1818, to take this subject into consideration, reported that the repeal' of the Salt duties would be produc tive of the greatest and most important advan tages to all classes o,f persons ; but the state of the Revenue at that time, and the advanced pe riod of the Session when the Report was made, prevented the Committee from recommending the immediate introduction of a Bill for effecting the purpose of their recommendation. The ,state of the Revenue at this moment offers no similar mo tive for reserve ; and„ undoubtedly, if it be thought advisable by, Parliament to accom plish any further reduction in the burden of taxationond in such reduction to render the most extensive assistance to the agricultural interests, no selection for such a purpose could be more judiciolasly made, with regard to the relief which it was likely to bestow, than that of the salt tax. Mr. Caluraft did not propose that the whole of the tax should be reduced at once. The tax amounts to fifteen shillings a bushel neon an article, the , intrinsic worth of which does not exceed five or six pence. He suggested that the reduction should be gradual—amounting in the present year to five shillings a bushel, and that in the two following years five shillings more in each year should be taken off, so that in three years the whole tax should be repealed. The numbers on the, division were-165 for the repeal, and 169 for the continuance of the tax—being a majority of four only in favour of Ministers.' The Tenders, with the words " Ship Tender" on the covet, to be severally sealed up and left with the Secretary, at this. House, at or before Twelve o'Clock at Noon, on the above mentioued day, beyond which hour po Tender will be re ceived, JOSEPH DART, Secretary. The particulars of the Terns aud Conditions upon which the Ships wilt be employed, may be had on application at the Office of the Clerk to the Committee of Shipping, on or after Monday, the 4th March next.

[NEW TINES.I - - The article which appeared hi The Times, o. yesterday relative ,to. the proceedings in the case of the King against Dolby, demands, our parti cular. attention, It is, we beiie.ve, the only in stance in. which the Constitutional :Association has been mentioned in that Journal,. without the lowest and most dkgracefuk scurrility: and we are therefore satisfied that the. article ' was com municated by a Correspondent, and not written within the purlieus of Tripling House-lane. : It presents,.however, by no, means a fair statement of what took place respecting the summonlog of the Jury. We need not 'repeat our forniernar rative of the circumstances which led to the' summoning of the Special Jury a second hied they attended, no further difficulty 'would have occurred. • Why so large a proportion of them twice .evaded the discharge of an important public - duty, it is not for us tick con jecture —we trust it was not from the 'base and slavish fear of being abased in The Times for giving a conscientious verdict. .Be the cause what it may, the non-attendance of those Oen tlernen rendered it, necessary for the Coroner to choose ten tales men , an d th e C ourt fully recog nised the propriety of his having previously form : ed g panel ,. with a vim to the very, contingency that actually .happened t —lt" is intimated, and_ most unjustly intimated, that the- Coroner had acted unfairly in the formation of this panel, which,. it is asserted, ".was selected by him. from the class of Esquires, usually in attend ance on Special Juries," Now we have a copy of the list before us; and it so happens that it does not contain a single .Esquire ; but M e see inH it tailors, shoemakers, a cutler, a 'salesman, a' . printer, a. paperhanger, a schoolmaster, a hosier, a glover, a chinaman, a lacentan,^ and several . other tradesmen of different descriptions. -- Strangers as we are to all the individuals, we. cap only say that, to judge from their various designations in the list, they seem to be is hider' pendent a set of men as could have been assem bled- for stiCh a purpose,. We do ,nat deny that the defendant is entitled to avail himself.of all legal objections: but we know that the only real' benefit that .be could derive from his objection in the present case was delay ; a thing which he evidently'considers ,as . of great importance, hay; ing twice contrieed to postpone his trial on Mere . 'technical grotmds,. Whether this shrinking from judicial investigation implies a strong confidence in his own innocence, o r thg contrary, the public may easily determine. . . THE TIM ES I ] We have at present little more than space to insert the information, that Mr. Creevey means,' at some early period, to bring forward his motion, founded on papers for which he moved on Wed nesday night, for the abelitiOn of that most injurious *Act which was , passed in the year 1817, entitled " An Act to enable his Majesty " to remunerate the services of . persons holding 44 high official situations," The cif cumstances out' of which this Act sprung were curious. The cries of the people seemed, about the time that it was passed, to have almost forced Ministers upon the unpleasant task of abolishing some of the many sinecures and undeserved pensions ; when up springs this Act to their relief, which, while it affected to clip down the places with out any duties to perform, created so many new pensions of retirement and superannuation, as to have left the country losers in the substitution of the new act for the iniquitioui practices which subsisted before. It has been no very uncommon observation, that 64 ridicule is the test of truth." This was very strikingly verified in the contro versy between Mess. flume and Grolier; when the Secretary of the Admiralty, by a calculation, ex pressed not in figures of arithmetic, but of ridicule and rhetoric, strove to convict one of the most dili gent and careful men in the House of Commons of an . arithmetical blunder of 11,000,0001. in an account which embraced a sum total of only 17,000,009/. 1 , This, as Mr. Brougham observes in' his able illustration of Mr. llume's accuracy, 44 proves too much." It was the next thing to morally impossible that any man above the level of an idiot should, with returns before him even so perplexed as those of our public offices, have made a mistake of five parts out of eight, in the sum total of any statement to be arrived at by simple addition. For M r . Hume ) had he alone - - - AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. CAittuvrooz, FE8.213.—A County Meeting has ; just been held here, having been called with the. view of presenting a Petition to. Parliament,. praying for Relief to the AgriCulturists. Four or fize Whigs, and about a dozen Radicals,,. usually figure on the ljustings iu this town on, such occasions. Mr. ADE A NE, the Ifigh Sheriff, was in the Chair; but he looked round in-vain for a single 'Gentleman of weight and property. The Reso lutions (purporting chiefly that the distress is owing to excessive taxation, and that this must be reduced,) were moved by Mr. PRYME, a Bat- sister resideut here, and who possesses in this . County a house, and perhaps a garden, just suffi ciut to make him a Freeholder. They were se coßd.ed by Mr. BROWNE, a Fellow of one of the. Colleges, whose interest in Agriculture may perchance be great elsewhere, but in this County is nearly on a par. with Mr. Puymt. Ile has, how ever, the character of beluga great orator,and hav ing soon quitted the narrow, uninteresting subject . of Agricultural Distress, be seemed to be spread ing all sail on the boundless sea of Parliamentary Reform : already he had enlivened his audience with the old story of the Irishman and the Cat o'-nine-tails, and was proceeding with great glory, when unfortunately he was reminded that Reform was not mentioned in the requisition, and. the Sheriff insisted that it should not now be introduced. Thus unexpectedly cut off from his, favourite topic, he disappinted the listening throng by the abrupt termination of his harangue. Next appeared the Reverend Mr. MABERLEY, a gentleman of' considerable notoriety in this part of the country. lie had published, he said, a Tract six years ago, shelving Ist, and above all, that Rents must be reduced, and 2dly Taxation; but this valuable Tract had not met with the at- tentionit deserved, and sue the -consequence! ! However, he was so obliging as to repeat the sub ; . rstance of it, dividing his subject i n t o th ree pa rt s . investigating (1) the cause of the distress, (2) the remedy for it, and (3) by what means that re- . medyis to be obtained. Under the first head he insisted very largely on the necessity of reducing Rents, which seemed very unpalatable to the two ; _or three *Landowners present, by whom he was assailed with cries of No, No ! No reduction of Rent ! -We need not give mdre account of this Gentleman's speech, ai it is in substancecon - tainedin the above 'menti one d T rac t, which will . no doubt soon.have a great sale.

With the ex ception of certain of the fen lands, the super fluous moisture . is generally absorbed, with fa r less damage from the late floods than could have been expected.
