LONDON.
SATURDAY, MlRcg 23. lert.

Petitions continue to be presented in the House
of Commons from various ports of the country,.
praying for • remission of the remaining part of
HSU"( HUNT'S sentence. Mr. LASIBTON present-
ed a Petition last night, signed by 4,820 inhabit-
, ants of the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, praying
for Mr. HUNT'S liberation; but the terms its which
it was couched grated too harshly upon the ears of
• large msjority of the Members, and the Petition
was in consequence rejected. The expressions were
undoubtedly harsh, and but ill calculated to con-
ciliate the favour of the House for the benefit of
the individual whom the Petitioners professed to
serve; but they contained some wholesome troth.,
and were undoubtedly not more harsh than the terms
of
many other Petitions winch have been from time
to time received by the House upon the subject
of Parliamentary Reform. The House of Com-
mons ought not to weight in an over-nice balance
the language of every Petition that is addressed to
*them. When free men perceive the existence of
gross abuses, they must feel them strongly. sod
words will necessarily assume a temper born the
feelings which they are meant to convey. It would,
we conceive, be wholly impossible to frame a Pe-
tition to the House of Commons upon the necessity
of a Reform in the Represeutation of the People,
which should not contain words that the Court of
King's Bench, in strict interpretation, would not
pronounc► to be libellous. Th• very sct of stating
that the House of Commons does not properly re-
present the people of the United Kingdom, and that
reform is therefore isece-sary, is • libel; so is it • libel
to say that the Government is upheld by corruption,
and yet not many nights have elapsed since the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY assured the House
.or
Common' that it would be impossible for the Mi-
nisters to impel their scheme of government if
places avowedly useless—mere sinecures with large
salaries, were plucked from their hand*. If such a
declaration had pity meaning, it oaowed distinctly
the expediency—the very necessity of corruption iu
the House of Commons; •4d yet Mr. FANNANTLR
complained that the people of Newcastle should
dare to talk about " the notorious and avowed
