NAVIGATION LAWS.

Mr. I. L. RICARDO said that in the course of last week,
It was publicly announced that, at a meeting presided over
by ono Captain Wright, it had been resolved to kayo
a grand procession of twenty thousand seamen, as
escort to a body of delegates, who on the part of the shipping
interest were to present a memorial against any change in
the navigation laws. A procession of some sort took place,
end a memorial was presented at the Home-office. He
therefore begged to ask the right bon. hart. the Home Se-
, notary what reception had been given to the memorial in
question ?
Sir G. GREY said that on Tuesday last he received a
letter, signed by Commander Smith, enclosing the announce-
ment referred to, and asking at what time it would be con-
venient for him to receive the memorialists. He had, in
reply, acquainted Commander Smith that it being a prin-
ciple with the government to discourage large political as-
semblages in the public streets, he could net nessive a ma-
=oriel brought by any such procession as that intimated, but
that he was ready to receive it if brought in the usual way,
by an ordinary deputation, at half-put four, on the Wed-
nesday. He was informed that a &potation front the mer-
chant shipping interest was in waiting, and, having tint
ascertained that the deputation was accompanied outside by
no unusual body of persons, the procession' having some time
before dispersed, and further that the memorial wu pro-
perly and respectfully wor&d, he, of course, received the
deputation and the memorial.
THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.

- ....-
Lord J. RUS3ELL mid that the hen. member for
Cockermouth had pot a qtmetion to him whether he was
&greed to give notice to any fours Archbishop of Canter-
bury that the governmint would consider him &Ogee& be
alb ecclesiastical arrangements, changse, and modifications
as parliament might hereafter deterusioe upon. He b
M my that he entirely concurred in opinion with the
=umber and othm who thought the present mode of ap-
portioning the incomes of the high church dignitaries es-
' sedidactory, and that parliament might devise a far better
entangement with respect both to the payment by the sem-
inledoners to the bishops, and by the bishops to the com-
mlrio ern. hear.) Ile therefore thought it moat
proper to give notice to any ratan Archbishop of Canter-
bury that he mast accept his archbishopric Nubian
to any subsequent ceelesiutial arrangements which might
be made by parliament. In the sum proposed to be r-
eigned to the future archbishop, 15,0001. per annum, he did
not contemplate any alteration.
Mr. HORSMAN considered the noble lord'. reply per-
fectly satisfactory.
