Mr. WARRE presented a petition from certain Inhabitants of thotown of Taunton, complaining of what they regarded as the unmerited and unjust punishment inflicted on Mr. Hunt by the regulations lately adopted in Jlebester Gaol.. ;Hp,; gretted that he did not see in his place an Hon Baronet, (the Member for Somerset) because he wholly differed from himr, in the view which he took of this case. He considered that to allow a pri soner to see his physician or his attorney, was not such a re taxation as to take from the character of solitary confinement. It must always be intended that these should have access to the party confined, or they might as well put tile individual to death at .once. The Petitioners dwelt on the fact, that Mr. Hunt, on receiving sentence, had asked Mr. Justice Bayley, whether he was sentenced to solitary confinement or not? lie was answered " No." It would therefore be seen, that what had recently been done with the sanction of one or more Learned Judges, who had been mentioned, was at variance with what had been stated by Mr. Justice Bayley. The Petition was read, and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. HUME gave notice, that on Tuesday he would move for Returns relative to the establishment of the Office of the Commissioners for the Redemption of the National Debt : and for similar Returns of the Establishment of the Commissioners fol . . the Redemption of the Land-Tax.

Powr WlNE.—There are annually sent to England 25,000 pipes of Port, selected from the best wines made. The Portuguese sell it for 45,000 res, or 45 mikes, each equal to ss. 7d. sterling---which is 121. 11. s. 3d. a pipe. Allow ing the expence to the factor at Oporto to be Bs. 9d. a pipe, and his gain 71. clear on each pipe, the whole gain on 25,000 pipes of Port Wine will be annually the sum of 175,0001., supposing Port Wine to be sold at Oporto for 20/. a pipe, and which is certainly a sufficient gain above the Portuguese price. But the price of Port Wine, as sold by the Oporto Factor, or Merchant, is forty pound a pipe, and his gain on each. pipe (allowing 8 shillings and 9 pence for expence)is 271. above the Portuguese price, and the whole gain annually on 25,000 pipes is .the enormous sum of 675,0001. Suppose the freight of each pipe Si., the duty is 551. a pipe. The English wine merchant, therefore, pays 1001. a pipe' at the time he sells a pipe of wine. Many persons have left off drinking wine, and those who do, limit the quantity of their daily consumption, and less wine is sold in consequence. The duty on 16,250 pipes of Port Wine is greater than the revenue, 892,635/., on all wines for the year 1821, so that the quantity warehoused is now immense, with little probability of being spld.— If the duty on all wines were equalized, and the duty not more than 201. a pipe on Port Wine, the Oporto* factor or merchant would be forced to content himself with 151. a pipe on Port Wine; and the revenue would be increased, as three times the quantity of wine would be consumed, because in Great Britain Port Wine would fall to 501. a pipe. * In the year 1772 he sold it for £5 a pipe, and in 1782 for £lO a pipe. journ. The Earl of BLESINTON gave notice of his intention to move, on Friday next, for leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the Registration of Deeds in Ireland. ALTERATION IN THE CORN LAWS. Lord KING rose to ask for information on a subject which had made a great impression on the country, viz. a report of an alteration in the Corn Laws. It appeared by the votes in . ano ther branch of the Legislature, that a new Com mittee had been appointed to take hail consi• deration the state of Agriculture. A rumour had been heard of their intention to recommend an alteration in the Corn Laws: in consequence of that' rumour, it was natural to ask the Noble Lord at the head of his Majesty's Government, whether the Committee intended to lower or raise the price of corn ? Any delusion upon that subject would occasion alarm in the public mind. Another rumour stated that a bounty was to be given on the exportation of corn. A more absurd project, in the noble Lord's opinion, could not well be conceived. The Committee was formed of official persons and country gen tlemen. The officials were to support the taxes, and the landed proprietors the rents. How both purposes could be answered the Noble Lord was unable to decide; unless, indeed, they raised the price of corn. If the House referred to the names in the Committee they would find all were fathers of that detestable Corn Law of 1815. The object of that measure was to increase the price of gold. That law unfortunately passed through that House, and received not only the authority of his Majesty's Ministers, but the support of the Right Reverend Bishops, whose character might have led them to abstain from supporting the Bill, because it had the effect of keeping up tithes. The object was to raise the price of, corn under the fear or dread of plenty. To use a word expressed in the other House of Parliament, many were suffering under the hy drophobia of plenty.—(A laugh.)--It would not surprise him if the Bishops were to dispense with the prayer for plenty. The Noble Lord wished to ask whether his Majesty's Government bad formed any opinion on this subject ? If Govern ment had expressed no opinion, he should ask' the Noble Earl whether he himself had formed any opinion, or whether the country was to be left to the mercy of the persons composing the Committee ? .If that were to be the case, he should then say, " Good Lord deliver us."— Judging from the manner in which they dischar ged their duty on a former occasion, he should say little benefit was to be expected from their labours. The Earl of LIVERiOOL said, he should make but few observations in answer to the Noble Lord. With respect to the Corn 43i1l of 1815, if the Noble Lord would refer to the debate upon it, he would - perceive that it was not the intention of his Majesty's Government to raise the price. A Noble Lord contended that 80s. should be the minimum price, and he (Lord Li verpool) with a Noble Lord near him, decided if the Bill passed that eighty should be the maximum. On the subject of the inquiry in the other House of Parliament, to which the Noble Lord alluded, he would only repeat what he stated on a former day when he moved for do cuments. He certainly did not conceive that any measure that might be adopted for alteration of the corn laws could have the slightest effect in relieving agricultural distress. The Noble Earl also stated that any measure which might come up from the' other House would be a mea sure which had no tendency to raise the price of corn. Ii might be expedient to enact pro visions with respect to the importation of corn. Nothing deserved more consideration than the question whether it would not be better to admit corn, subject to duty—what the scale price may be would depend on the nature of the regulations recommended by the Committee, and which would be brought before the House.— The object at the same time would be to pre vent excessive importation as well as unlimited prohibition. Earl DARNLEY defended the vote he gave in support of the Corn Bill of 1815. Much obloquy had been cast on that measure which it did not deserve. In supporting that Bill he ad mitted that it was a measure of necessity, and voted with a large majority. The Noble Earl considered the agricultural distresses of • the country without remedy, but still thought a re duction of taxes might do much for the farmer. The Earl of BLESINTON adverted to the Dis tilleries of Ireland, and expressed a hope that a correspondence between a Noble Lord - and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would prove advan tageous to the Irish distillers. The Earl of LIVERPOOL considored the con versation irregular, and moved the House to ad- • Lord CALTIIORPE said the object of the Corn Bill passed in 1815 had been defeated by the system of averages. The Noble Lord defended the present Agricultural Committee, and observ ed that he should look forward with great confi dence to the result of their labours.—The House then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Captain O'GRADY presented a Petition from the Grand Jury of the City of Limerick, complaining of the Act of Par liament which enables the Corporation to assess the city and liberties at a higher rate than they were able to bear.—Ordered to lie on the table. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. LAW LEY presented . a Petition from certain occu piers of land in the county of Warwick, praying that the REVENUE. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the gross and net amount of the revenue of the United Kingdom, in the year ending Jan. 5, 1812, specifying the amount for England, ‘Vales, Scotland, and Ireland, and the sums set apart as a Sinking Fund, with the charges for management.—Ordered.

Mr...FIUME moved for a Return of the sums voted for in each year, from 1815 to 1821, to the Navy for wear and tear, ordinary ,repairs, building ships in his Nlajesty's Dock-yards, or merchants' yards, shoving the total expense incurred in the last seven' years ended. Mr. HUME then moved for Returns of the sums voted on estimate for the Navy in the Appropriation Act in each year from 1817. • Sir J. OSBORNE said, there could be no objection to pro duce the paper; but it seemed unnecessary, as the return would only shew what was already to be found in the Appropriation Act, and in the Journals of the House. Mr. HUME was aware of that, but as his statements had been doubted, he wished 16'1: the paper he had mo ve d f or , that it' might be seen what the expense had really been.—. Ordered. Lord A. HAMILTON presented a Petition from Kirkcud bright, setting forth the hardships under which certain classes of artisans laboured, and praying the-House to take their case into its consideration—Ordered to be printed. Sir G.. CLARK moved for a return of the number of persons on half-pay or in the receipt of military pensions, who were now in Holy Orders.—Ordered. CANADA. Mr. IVILIIIOT presented a copy of an Act relative to Tithes pasied in the provinces of Canada. A short conversation followed, which was very imperfectly heard in the gallery, in which Mr. BENNETT, Mr. WiLmoT, and Sir I. COFFIN participated, in the course of which the Act in qUestion was described to have been framed with a view to prevent misunderstanding on the subject of demands for tithes. —Ordered to lie on the table. ILCHESTER JAIL. HOBHOUSE held in Isis hand a Petition which he had yesterday mentioned it was his intention to present to-day. 4-- He thought, differing as the Members on the two sides of that House did on many points, that none of them would be of opi nion that this was unworthy of consideration. The Petition was signed. by 5,000 persoas of the town of Blackburne, in Lancashire., They complained of th e h ar d s hip s to which, Mr. Hunt was subjected, by the late regulations in fiches ter Jail, and called on that house to address his Majesty, praying him to commute in some way the remainder of Mr. Hunt's punishment, or to cause those regulations to be rescinded which were the immediate subject of complaint, so that Mr. Hunt.might be left to endure that description of con , finement to which he had been sentenced. Besides the Petition which lie had to present, he understood the Woethy'Alderman had one which was signed by 4,000 persons. Another petition on the same subject had been presented that night already, and other petitions from different places proved the interest ea cited.for Ali.. Hunt out of doors. He wished, the allegations contained in these petitions to be .inquired into, as he was convinced that the more this was done, the more would Mr. "Hunt become an object of public sympathy. The case of Mr.-Hunt was one of great hardship. To this conclusion he had come from reading the Reporti of the Royal Commissioners as well as of the Magistrates and Sheriffs, and the Petitions which had been presented. It appeared that Mr. Hunt had been so treated, that after he .had been in confinement six weeks, Sir John Acland had, thought it right to put a stop to the practices which had prevailed. This Sir John Acland was the individual whose absence from illness had been At much regretted by the Commissioners.—His situation, however, in point of comfort, had afterwards been materially deterio rated, and on the 15th of November, 1820, Sir C. Bampfylde, the' High Sheriff; had considered it necessary to interfere in behalf of the prisoner, and prove that he thought the Magis trates had been wrong. Mr. Hunt was restored by the High Sheriff to that intercourse with his friends which had. for merly been allowed by Sir 'l'. Acleind ; but on the very day that Sir Charles Bampfylde went• out.of office, the obnoxious resolutions were again resorted to. He did not know that a case like this had ever come before the House—a case in which the hardships endured had caused frequent interference in his behalf, which had always been followed by a return to the severity which had preViously been the subject of complaint.-- The close confinement again inflicted was continued from February till July, when that inquiry took place which had been set on foot partly in consequence of the petition pre seated from Mr. Hunt to that House. Though through the discoveries which then took pl ace , M r . Bridle, the gacler, had beendeclared unworthy of the office he held, he was allowed to fill• it 108 days after being declared so unworthy. On the 10th November, Bridle was dismissed, and the new-keeper, Mr. Harding, came to the prison. From the 10th November, to the 22d January, Mr. Hunt had opportunities of seeing his female friends and relations, as, under the system acted upon through the interference of Sir T. Acland aid Sir Charles Bampfylde; but to the great surprise of Mr. Hunt, on the 22d January, another order brought him back to that deplorable state, from which he had, been twice rescued. Not only were his friends and relations excluded, but even his physician and attorney were denied access to him, and when he wished his medical attendant to be admitted, he was told he might go to the county surgeon, and take the county m e di c i ne . M r . -11 unt he thought had kot enough of the county medicine, and he did not think it unreasonable that he should have his own medical man to attend him. Mr. Hunt wrote a private letter to Mr. Justice Bayley. He had not made a public application to the Court of King's Bench, as he could not afford the expense.
