" klr. Moulway's little Book on Breeding, Bearing, and Fat-
tening all kinds of Domestic Peniny and Pigs, it unquestionably
the most Practical Work on the subject lit one Language. Th,
Author's aini seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to
convey hit information in plain and intelligible terms. The eon-
venience of a small Poultry-yard, two or three Pigs. with a breed-
ing Sow, aad a Cow for Milk, Cream, Butter, and Cheese, sin an
English Country-house, appears indispensable : and to point eat
bow these may be obtained at a esesonable expense, seems to have
been Mr. Moubrars object. Rf adopting the plan of hit Work
any Family may turnish their Table with these luxuries at ene-
third of the piste they are obliged to pay at the Markets ; and the
Farmer and Breeder may render it *be source of considerableprofit."

of the instrument. The ease with which that truly graceful and
pleasing arminplishment is acquired sufficiently accounts for its
universal aciltption in preference to any other instrument. It is a
powerful stimulus to the study of the German Flute, that any per-
son may, in a short time, and with comparatively little difficulty,
attain such a proficiency as to he able to play as accompaniment
with a Lady at the Piano-forte, or to take a part in a Quartett or
Overture. Time and Tone, the ground-work so indispensably
requisite to constitute the finished Amateur, are frequently neg-

Progress Merit, although frequently assailed,
.1_ is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression
of ambuscade terminates in defeat; and conscious rectitude ulti-
mate) triumphs in the attainment of the grand object—public
an
ation. The test of experience is the guarantee of Meow,
and has established WARREN'S BLACKING in general esti-
mation ; of which there exists not a stronger proof, than the tacit
acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously
obtrude on the unwary a spurious preparation as the genuine ar-
ticle, to the great disappointment of the unguarded purchaser, and
manifest injury of Warren, whose charai ter and interest, by this
iniquitous system, are equally subject to detriment. It becomes,
therefore, an indispensable duly, to caution the public against the
manieueres of unprincipled renders, who having no character to
lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pursuits, aim to
the acquisition of money through any medium but that of honour.
The original and matchless Blacking beam on each bottle a abort
direction, with the signature "ROBERT WARREN;" all
others are counterfeits; and in many instances the imposition Isbell,
are artfully inteditted with a different addrum. in very small dm.
meters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and
.• STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to shopkeepeas and
others, who are deceived by base fabrications of Warren's Black.
ing, to return the detected trash to the source from whence it cams
and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy.
Warren's Blacking is surpassingly brilliant; it excludes amp,
gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all cli-
mates. and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally
of indispensable fashion and utility.
Sold by every respectable Vender in town and country, is bot-

PARLIAMEN7'ART INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MOMDAT, MAT 17.

At • goarler before—s-IZo'ellieb:ilieripeaker of the House of
Commons, attended by several Members, appeared at their Lord-
ships. bar, to hear the Royal Assent given by commission to the
following Billy, via.—The Hum Duties !liral. the Sugar Boun-
ties, the Eachequer Bills for Public Works, the Militia Pay, the
Mass Duties, the Alien, the Innkeepers' Allowance, the Marriage
Act Amendment, the British Museum, the Insh County Trea-
surers, the Irish Proctors' Costs, the bash Constabulary, and the
Irish Ronk Bills.
The Commissioners were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of
elhaltesbury, and Lord Bede*lale.
GENERA!. HAS 11.101 IT BILL.
The Earl of LAIIDERDA LE presented • petition from the
IPlPlSPrlotors of the Has Light Company at Northampton, praying
hat the Herten' Oaa Light Hill may not pass into a law. The
Ph* Earl presented similar petitions from thc Proprietors of the
dial Liglit Companies of Glasgow and Leeds, and also front the
inhaitejts of Leda ; as did the Earl of ItoseLe it, from the
Mayer, Aldermen, and Iturgesses of Liverpool, praying that the
town of Liverpool may be exempted from the operation of the Act
of which were severally laid on the table.
WELCH JUDICA'TURE.
Lord CA WDOit postponed the motion of which he had given
lathe, relative to Wakh Judicature, until Monday nest.
INSUBNECTII ACT—(I BELA N D).
The Earl of LIVERPI MIL said that hermit. in pursuance of the
notice that he hod given, to move for the appointment of • Com-
mittee to inquire into the state of those districts In Ireland that
wore sow under the operation of the Insurrection Act. A Coin.
twine, for • similar purpose had been moved for and appointed by
the other Ilona of Parliament, and one great object tor the op..
poisouent of these Committees was to give information to Parlia-
ment en the important subject that they were to investigate. Their
Lon:ships would recollect that Ministers had stated last year, that
should the Insurrection Act be again called for, they would give
the fullest information respecting the state of the districts that re-
mitted it. The Noble Earl then moved, that a Select Committee
be appointed to in9u ire into the nature and extent of the disturbances
In those districts in Ireland that were under the operation of the
Insurrection Act. ..... . .

The Marquis of LANSISOIVN observed that it was a salisfac-
ion— a melanchnly satisfaction indeed—to know that his Majesty's
Ninistan had at leogth consented to admit some mode of inquiry
tau the state of the disturbances in Ireland. which they had been
fm so long a time anxious to escape from. By this means their
Lnnlehips would be enabled in some deem to arrive at infor-
mation that would enable them to judge upon what grounds
that desperate measure, the Insurrection Act, had been resorted to.
Now, after so many years delay, inquiry was sought for
respeetirig that malamute country, and from a quarter too that
would probably Os the assent of their hardships. Even under
those circumstances, and upon the terms proposed. it was a source
of satisfaction to his to have inquiry instituted ; although he could
not entertain the hope that, in its present fortn, it would include
that extensive investigation which would 'seek the root of the evil,
and whirl would give satisfaction either to the House or the country.
The inquiry in question would not go to the real constitutional
remedy; it would not probe the woulol to the bottom; it would
only touch the surface of it. But his object in rising on the present
oxseion, was more for the purpose (Nuking if it were not expedient
WS inquire more generally into the evils that afflict Ireland ? and
whether their Lordships were not hound to adopt • &more couture-
beware, form of words, and to Institute • more extensive measure?
He felt this necessity so strongly, that he should be compelled, be-
fore besot down, to move an amendment, founded no that opinion ;
for, if it only extended to the districts alluded to. he contended
that the inquiry would be inefficient ; fur neither the (louse nor the
Uovertmient need be told that there was but a shade of difference
'listing between the districts that were within, and those that were
out of the pale of the operation of the Insurrection Act ; but •
thin partition was erected between • and many which were now
not tinder its influence, have been sad might he again subject to
it. roles, their Lordships investigated the whole question, and
inquired into the state of every part of Ireland, they would do but
little. Would the Noble Earl (Liverpool) say that there wu any
pan of Ireland where the Insurrection Act might not be in force
next rear ? The Act, wherever It wu applied, tended to alienate
the affections of the people, and to render their political state less
healthy, and the conduct of Ministers, in confining their inquiry to
the disturbed districts, reminded him of the course pursued by
Esotem Monarchs when an inhabitant of the Harem nliould be so
ill as to need the advice of an European physician. The hand only
of the invalid la remised to the view of the medical adviser, and the
attendants tell him. „you can judge from of the hand;
you have the opportunity of knowing the state of pulsation, and
that is all sufficient; without," continued his Lortlxhip, " consider-
ing that the state of the countenance and various other symptoms
were necessary to be ascertained berme a physician can give a sound
opinion as to the degree of danger attendant unon his pa-
ttent'm disorder." So it was with Ministers regarding Ireland;
they looked only at the disturbed districts as their reaction
fur judging of the whole of this most important question.
If he agreed with the measure, it was upon the principle that light.
would conic in upon them through this inquiry, and that the
various ramifications that it might lead to might ulefinetcly de-
velops. the whole of the circunistances that afflicted Ireland; hut
suit • much longer time would be required in developing them by
Nis mode, than by a more extensive inquiry. The Noble Marquis
then moved as an amendment, " That • lommittee be appointed
to ',Noire into the gebeeal condition of Ireland, and mire particu-
larly into the nature and extent of the listurbances in the districts
under the operation of the Ineurrectio Act." The Noble Marquis,
in moving this amendment, stated, ;hat if their Lordehips should
adopt • more limited inquiry he would support it; but upon the
best consideration he could give to the subject. he thought it would
be inadequate to the purnou that it wu intended for.
The Earl of 1.1 VP. ft PI N 11, had not many observations to make
on the speech of the Noble Marquis ; hut in one or two instances
he was wrung. Ile had stated that, at last, Slinisters had insti-
tuted an inquiry, ineinuating that the King's Government had
checked investigation. On that point he had only to refer their
Lordships to the Table and to the Statute.book, to show that
Minister% had been ready on all occasion* to adopt every tneastere
that really had for its object the peace and prosperity of Ireland.
He submitted to their Lordships that • general inquiry was
nut definite enough. The weeds of hi. motion oily af-
txted locality, for the Insurrection Act prevailed in various parts
of Ireland, and his object was only to cheek inquiry where none
wee necessary. The Noble Marquis could not require wonts wider
in the first instance than throe which he had had the honour of sub_
ruining to their Lortlehips • for they embraced the meaning that an
inquiry the moat uniinitterishould be entered upon in those districts
where the mischief was must crying ; and to do more this
would not only be nugatory, but dangerous ; for he would ask
their Lordships if it would net be dangentne to institute inquiries
into districts as quiet as any emintics in England, which ails the
mac with many parts of Ireland With a view to a sinecre in-
eairy, lie proposed to their lewdships *look at those parts where
the evil wits mom crying, and sift the subject to its fullest extent,
and his inquiry would enibrace a wide field, fir the Insurrection
Aet prevailed in many parts of Ireland. 11!irlet these circumstances,
lie would °opiate the minion of the Noble Marquis.
Lord KI NO believed the measure might do some good, but he
wished it to be MOM extensive. It was not in the power of the
Noble Earl opposite to go into a tinter general inquiry ; becatow if
be did, the Noble and Learned Lord on the %I'teileael would say,
" Don't touch toy Orangemen, these are good Protestants." Every
thing hail been mew by hakes for Ireland. She was at first only
half conquered; the Union, which was so much talked of, tended'
sly to disunite the two countries; the Tithe Comp... Mimi Bull,
that great pantie., of last Session, had only distracted the country ;
teed the Burial fell of this Seetion, which was to assuage all the
ill.fauntour that r listed between I'mtestants and I 'atholies, only
tended to increase it. His Noble Friend had talked of European
phy,leiane being called iii to feel the pulse of an inhabitant of a
harem ; but he Neatest AI Misters too courteously if he intended to
compare their. rain in polines to that of European physicians in
medicine. They had evinced in that science the ignorance of
Asiatic 1111)Ntel4i111 in the science of medicine, for they had %hew°
thenetelve• mere quacks and empiric*.
Their Lordships then divided on hued Lanstlown's amendment,

iry of hoodoo appeared at the Bar of the
ilAl from the Lord 31a”re. Aldermen, and
tg fiw a Keforin m Parliament.
I) begged to he heard for a few minutes: he
tad been carried to the C.oninon Mall, by a

great majority t the members of the Common Council were elected t
annually, and their sentiments were known to be in favour of a re-
form of Parliament, and it might therefore be urged that the City
I was favourable to a reform, otherwise dome members would not be
returned. The freeholders of the City of laindrin were not retire- I
sewed at all in l'arliament. Indeed, it was impossible that only
eight members could sufficiently represent the interests of London, I
Westminster, and Southwark.
Mr. Alderman Sbl ITII said a few word., which were inaudible'
in the gallery.
Mr. W. S3lll'll remarked that he had had a great share in the!
petition that was presented to that House in the year 17112. in favour
of reform. The arguments used in that petition had never been
answered. It might truly be said, that whether the City of Lon-
don wan to he judged by its property, its numbers, or its intern. I
gene, that it was unrepresented. The City certainly had a claim
fur a larger represertation.
Mr. 'l'. W meow and Mr. Aid. BRIDGES said • few words.
Lord J. 111 issiEl.l, remarked, that he should certainly have
brought forward the question of reform during the present Session
of Parlonsient. but that he tl glit a postponement or it till next
Session would give it • more favourable chance of success.
Sir It. WILsON thought that a reform in l'arkament was the
beat means of destroying Ministerial influence, and for preventing
any abuse of power.
111 r. M. A. TA VIAJR presented a petition against the new
Beer Bill.
Mr. M A BERIN suggested the postponement of the Bill alto-
gether until the next Ses.ion of Parliament.
Sir E. KNATIIIIIIIII.I, trusted that the observation of the'
Honourable Member fur Abingdon would have its weight with the
Right Honourable the Chancellor of the Exchequer, as he coo-1
curled fully in it.
The Cif ANCEI.I4 /R of the EXCHEQUER said, that as the''
question had been raised, he would take the opportunity of stating
to the House the *sum that he thought it most desirable to pur.
sue. Ile was aware that there were many objections to the measure,
but he had made such modifications respecting the scale of duties
as he thought would give general satisfaction. Therefore, in his,
opinion, it would be better to go into a Committee on the Hill that
night, when he might state the alterations and amendments it was
proposed to make in it, when it might be re-printed, and on Friday
next they could go into the Bill itself.
Mr. 111151 E observed, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
had deviated from his principles, in not having had the Bill re-
amed m a Committee in the first instance.
Alderman WOOD recommended the expediency of going into a
Committee up suits on the Bill. Ile thought, however, that a
Corn ee up stairs wu the only available one frees which the
Bill could he expected to derive timentinient.
Mr. H. 1/KI;3I3IOND said that there was one part of the Bill
which at least he hoped would be amended ; it MIS that by which
it was proposed to raise the duty from two to fear shillings on
small beer. Theeflect of this rise in the duty would be to render
this beverage, of necessary consumption in Scotland, so dear as not
to be purchased by the lower orders of that country. Ile earnestly
hoped that part ot the Bill at least would be amended.
Mr. MA lIEKLY thought that the duty on malt should equally
hear upon brewers and other person", than wise he would move
that the Bill be read again that day six months.
After a few wonis from Mr. J.:UE.I7ON and Mr. Illase, the
the petition was ordered to be laid on the table.
Mr. M. A. TAN'IA/It presented • petition from Cirencester,
against the Conroy Courts' Bill. In presenting this petition, he
begged to express his unwillingness to occupy the time and atten-
tion of the house in enforcing it, but limply to lay the petition
entrusted to hint before the Legislature, and to defer the discussion
Ott it until a motion, to which it related, was regularly before the
(louse.

Mr. 111.11 E was desirous of expressing • different opinion
front that laid down by the Honourable Member, and was of
opinion the time of presenting a petition was the proper time to
acquaint the House of its import; and it was also the most saris-
factory manner of ascertaining the sentiments of the country on
particular subjects.
Mr. M. A. TA VIA/A said, that he thought merely for himself,
and did nut mean to lay down a rule fur regulating the conduct of
other Honourable Members on similar occasions. He thought the'
custom, as it at present prevailed, of accompanying the presenta-
tion of • petition with a speech. was attended with mush inconve.'
nience, and was therefore unvilling himself to add to that incon-
venience of which he thought it productive. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. 1/AI'EN P 4 /KT presented a petition from Chester, against'
negro stavery.--1 /Memd to be laid on the table and to be printed.
Lord C. MANNERS presented a petition fruit the victuallers'
of Carlisle against the Beer Bill.
loM ALTIIORP presented) a petition from Thomas Flanagan,,
of Sligo, in Ireland, complaining of certain proceedings before the'
Kings Bench relative to hint.
The CHANCELIAM of the EXCHEQUER, on the pre-,
sentation of • petition from %Vettford, relative to the licence duties,
said that it was the wish and intention of Hover 1111 l ent to place
Ireland, an far as regarded these duties, precisely on the same foot.'
ing with this country.
bit J. N lilV PORT expressed his opinion of the benefit of such
a regulation ; it was tine which would materially tend to the int- '
prtivement of that country, by putting down unlicensed public!
hours, where conspiracies and combinations were formed at pre-
sent. . _ .

sir J. NEWP()RT preaented a petition from the noblemen and
gentlenten of the County of Kilken.ty, agaient the Tithe Compo-
sition Bill, and praying for a repeal or certain clause* contained
therein.

Mr. A. ELLIS supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. IiRATTAN presented a petition from the stationers of
Dublin, complaining of certain Excise proceedinga.
Mr. F. LEWIS stated that there were two requisitions which
the law enjoined on stationers and paper merchants; with one of
these the stationers complied, and with the other they did not ; the
proceedings were adopted in consequence of their nun-compliance
with the second condition of the law.

Mr. L. FOSTER defended the pmpriety of the Excise proceed-
ing% in the panicudir case adverted to by the petitioners.
Mr. S. N'ORTLEV Pfe.elltell a petition from Huddersfield, in
Yorkshire, laa WO understood) against the and trade.

Mr. Ci RTE IS presented a petition from Brandon, against the

The I'l lA:NCI:IAA /It of the EXCIIEQUER moved the order
of the day on the billowing Ilills:—The Customs. Coal, and Linen
Iteport, which was brought up and ordered to be read a third
bate on Thursday; the Four per Cent. Repayment Bill, the third
reading ordered on Thursday; and the Consolidated Fund Hill,

Ipostponed the further conside:ation of the Beer Duties ar.d Pub-
icans' Licences Bill, which was ordered to be printed, and to
stand over for a Coniniittee on Friday.
ISLE OF :11.117 ItITICS.

Mr. IIUSKISSIiN, on the Custom Excise Report having been
brought up, wished to advert to what had been said on a former
night, relative to the Isle of Mauritius, when he (Mr. 11.) hap-
pened not to be present in the House. The alteration in the law
as it affected that island had been animadverted upon: now he
begged leave simply to explain in what that alteration consisted.
It consisted in placing that island on a footing with the other Bri-
tish Colonies, as to the duties paid on the importation of sugar into
this country. Hitherto this island was liable to the payment of the
same duty as sugar
_imported from the East India ; but the dis.
tines of that island, the fag greater expense consequent on the
exportation of its sugar, and the far greater facilities with which
