MR. GRANTLET BERKELEY'S MOTION TO RI-INACT
Tilt Core Law.—We lea•a, from a well•infenned
quarter, that Lord Nw has given way to Mr. Grant
ley Berkeley, and withdrawn his notice for Tuesday',
respecting the Irish poor law, in order to let that gen-
Varian's motion c ime vn for a commit ee of the whole
hotte to take into consideration the acts on the im-
portation of foreign corn. It will, therefore, be in-
cumbent on all supporters of a liberal and rational
commercial policy in the House of Commons to be
early in their places on Tuesday. It is tectseary that
Mr. Berkeley's motion be met by an explicit and en-
equivocal negative. The men of high rents and dear
broad must be given to understand that the condem-
nation of the corn laws is final, and that the question
Is not to be opened ap again in thelegislatare, at least
in the House of Commons.

DEPUTATION OF PROTECTIONISTS TO

LORD J. RUSSELL.

On Saturday a deputatlon from the delegates who
suretab:ed at the Crean and Anchor, is the coons of the
week, waited oa Lord Joha Russell, at his official residence
in Downing street, to present to him an address speed to by
the " Conference," hold at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
on the 7th inst.

Mr. 0. F. YOU NO heeded the deputation, and read the
address which wee agreed to at the meeting of delegates.
Alice a dormitory conversation, In which the bad temper
displayed hr the wir is. mu the principal topic of direussion,
Lord JOHN RUBBELL said—l on only say that I take
upon nirolf the whole responsibility of any advice whieh I
may feel it my duty to give to my sovereign. My experiencehads me direc ly to the opposite conclusk.n to that arrived at
by you upon the point, whether we ought to go on with fres
trade, or return to the prindples of praUsetion and restric-
tion, nor do 1 think It de-irable to d.sesive parliament in
order to arrive at the snot of the country on the subject.
With respect to the suffering which is stated to axis., though
I think mach of what is said is incorrect, I have heard
soffieient from emu parts of the country to know that deep
suffering does exist, and I am aware that that
suffering is partly attributable to the recent change
in our commercial laws, and I believe it to b. inevitable.
Ten years since I clearly saw that this country re-
quired some change of those laws affecting supply, as it
wee yearly becoming more commercial. My object woe to
nuke the transition so as to occasion as little suffering as
possible. lam sorry to sty that a combination of egricultu-
' ral and other interests decided that no necessity for any
change of our system existed in 1840, though the opinion of
parliament in 1846 became completely changed. A general
election fAlowed their decision in 1347, and the electors de-
cided to continue the policy the House of Commons had laid
down in 1848. Ido not think it wee very wise on the part
of the interests in 1840 net to seek some compromise of the
great question whisk I then brought wades consideration. I
thick it would be far more unwise now to pretend to reim-
pose protective duties, for, so far from that settling the ques-
tion, 1 believe it would give rise to fresh agitation for altera-
tions of the lawr, which would be injurious to the protected
interests themselves; and I believe that nothing could
be more injurious to the permanent intormta of the country
then for parliament to impose protective duties in 1851,
which would again lead to agitation and their repeal In 1862
or 1863. All return to the former system being, as I be-
lieve, impossible, it may be desirable to equalise, if possible,
the charges upon land, which I believe to be the wish of all
parties. However great or difficult the change, I believe
that the general upset of the country is encouraging, and
that it is the duty and interest of all parties to endeavour to
adapt themselves to It. Entertaining these views, 1 feel it
my duty, either as a minister of the crown or a member of
parliament, to act in conformity with them, and if I enter-
tained posy views I should act accordingly.
Mr. TOIING and Mr. Gurshun having addressed a few
words to his lordship in support of their views, the deputa-
tion withdrew.

Svictua.—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an impost

the matter, to whisk he invariably replied, " Nothini," sad

which was also mottled by hie wester, but who was unable
to aconat for it. He slept la the same room as witness,

foetid his head near:y separated from the body, and oaly ad-
hering by small plies of skin at the back of the neck. Ono
