45th of the later Knee, sod tn. itibititution of
• esessore founded upon the ordinary prisciples of
foreign trade, whereby protection is soeght to be
obtained by a flied and permanent duty. It it
elnege how they can forbear to advise some mes-
nere of this nanny, for their Report strongly ex.
.presses their contempt and abhorrence of the exist-
min law, and their approbation of the principle of a
Ailed duty. Their sentiments are very stroogly
:warped upon the subject of the present mode of
controlling the trade in corn, and as they express
very fully and clearly the opinions which, on the
some point, we have uniformly avowed, we shall
conclude our remarks by tranocribmg them : j,
"The excessive Ismoveolenee sod iespolicy," my the Com.
mutter, "of our prestos system, have bees so lolly treated,
sad so satisfactorily esposed is the Report already 'lidded
10 (p. 10 and 12), that it is ronneeeesary to do more than
refer to it; adding only, that every thing which has hap-
petted sobsiquent to the prescotetion of that Report, as
well as all our experience since ISIS, has more sod more
tended to demoostrate bow little reliance can be placed
wpm a regulation which contains an absolute prohibition
up In a certain price, and as unlimited consortium' beyond
that price; which, so far from affording stadia's, to our
markmoray ot one time mance prima already too low stin
tower than they might have been even under a free trade,
and at another, unnecessarily enhasee prises already Iwo
high; which tends to aggravate the evils of sesreity, sad
render more severe the dirprevaion of prieestroin abundance."
Mr. C. WYNN obtained leave yesterday ,evening
to bring in • Bill tranferring to the county of
York the franchise of which Grampound has been
deprived, and thereby enabling that county to elect
rwo additional Knights of the Shire. The rattail
of the county, cod the immense number of the
freeholders, have suggested to Mr. WYNN the ex-
pediency of dividing the county of York for the
purposes of these elections. He therefore proposes
that two Members shall be elected by the West
Riding, and the other two by the East and North
Ridings.

We noticed yesterday the extreme violence that
iharactertzed the discussion iu the Chamber of
Deputies on Friday, and the insult which General
Sweets offered to M. LAYOIT. A duel between

these member* was the result, but al►hough each
fired three shots they left the geld uninjured. Jr*;
looking to the debates on Saturday, which are cool
toured in the Papers of Sunday that have arrived lit;
due time at our Office, we hod them much more
temperate and calm than usual. We cannot pre-
tend to say whether the occurrence of a duel, in
consequence of ■ scene of disgraceful tuitsutt,
may have produced any effect in. correcting the coo.
duct of the Deputies.
The Ccoutitationnel notices and ridicules the
■uaseroua rumours that have been circulated in
Parisomd also in London, relative to the operations
of the Turks and Russians, and observes that such
stories are set abroad for the purposes of stock
jobbing.

The lepton of a new alliance between the Royal
Families of Great Britain and Denmark, is said
to ba►e excited much uneasiness in the north of
Europe, as if Denmark were to be empowered by
it to renew her old claims to Norway, and Eirgland
to obtain the commend of the Baltic ! ! Letters
from Stockholm and Beebe my that negacietions
ha►e been commenced between Russia, Sweden,
and Prussia, to neutralize this project. We can-
not stepwise that the writers of such letters, if ever
still* *ere written, could believe what they had
committed to their paper.
T 1 Qrolidienne contains a letter from Bayonne,
which speaks of some slight quarrel near the fron-
tiers between a prey of Spanish soldiers and a few
French sentinels. It is also stated that a Spanish
cove has been stationed on the Bidassoa, to oppose
the French cordon of health that has held its posi-
tion near the Spanish frontiers for so suspicious a
length of time. The Constilutiowssel notices this
statement, and remarking upon the silence of its
own correspondents, concludes that the Quotidienne
has been led intone error.

An ordinance of the King of FRANCS, dated
the 20th of March, suppresses the School of Sllll.
mom It was, however, intimated in the Chamber
of Deputies by the Minister, that a similar school
was about to be established in some other place. In
our extracts from these papers will he found ■u
official account of the exposure of* head of the
once celebrated and formidable Ali Puchs of Ja-
nine iii Constantinople, with a copy of the paper
annexed to the head by order of the Porte. The
transaction presents an interesting pictdre of Otto-
man manners.

The French Fire per Cents. were on Saturday
89 fr. 15 c.

We have received the Linseriek Papers of the
30th lest, mud Dublin of the ist instant. The
Limerick Chronicle contains a long list of outrages,
particularly robbing houses of arms, and serving
notices upon the occupiers to gait their farms
upon pain of death. In several of there cases the
actors were men dressed in watnen's clothes. We
presume these are Lady Rock's men.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Lientenent-Colonel A mrx-
Aetna W•LIIER, of the retired iist, was opp.iitiled•
Governor of Se. Helens. At the sorne.Court.
CaptsiirT. W. ALDHAM was sworn into the com-
mend of 'tile extra ship linen, consigned to
