SUPERIOR FOOD FOR CHILDREN, INVALIDS, AND
OTHERS.

ROBINSON'S PAfiNfiARLEY, for making su-
perior Barley Water in ten minutes, and Patent GROATS,
for making superior Gruel in ten minutes. The Patentee solicits
attention to the following document :
(COl7l/H
" Apothecaries all, London, Feb. 8, 182f1.
" Sir,—l have analyzed your Omits and Barley Powder, which
you, having his .Majesty's Letters Patent for the sole manufacturing
of the same, properly denominate Patent Barley and Patent
Groats,' I have no hesitation in declaring them to be genuine
powders of the finest Barley and Oats I ever saw. I consider it a
public advantage, and of great Importance in the medical world,
that, by your mode of peeparstion, a valuable, fine, mucilaginous
beverage and food may be obtained in a few minutes.
" I have also analyzed some samidea—imitations of your articles
—which are warranted free from adulteration,' these 1 pronounce
to be compositions of different meals, consequently, neither pure
barley water nor oat gruel can be made from them.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
"To Mr. M. Robinson, ",RICHARD CLAzint.

The above testimonial, from a gentleman who has already ren-
dered the public much service by exposing various deleterious mix-
tures and adulterations in articles of general consumption, added to
the recommendation of the medical profession, make it unnecessary
for the proprietors to do more than state, that none are genuine

SLAVERY.
Earl GREY prevented a petition from Sunderland in Durbem,
praying for the abolition of Slavery.
Earl GROSVENOR plesentel a similar petition from the inha-
bitants of Chester. His Lordship said he hoped the Colonise
would attend to the resolutions of Parliament, and to the instruc-
tion' of Government ; but if they held out any longer against Par.
Bement and the country, he hoped their Lordships would take
measures to ensure obedience to their wishes.
The Bishop of CII ESTER said he had been requested to sup.
port the prayer of the petition which the Noble Earl had just pre-
ranted, a duty which he performed with great pleasure; but whilst
he sympathized in the misfortunes of the slaves, and wished a total
abolition of the system, he would leave the details of any museum
for that purpose to the discretion and policy of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, who he was sure were sincere in their intention to abolish
slavery. The petition had been adopted at a numerous and re-
spectable meeting at Cheater, where the most perfect unanimity
prevailed upon the subject.
The Archbishop of YORK presented similar petitions from
Whitby. and several places in Yorkshire.
The Marquis CAMDEN preseuted a similar petition from •
town in Kent.

The Earl of CA RNARVON presented a similar petition from
Ringwood in Hampshire.
bard SUFFIEGD moved for copies of the judicial proceedings
and records of the Islands of Demerara and Berbice.
Earl BATHURST said it was his intention to lay before their
Lordships copies of all papers relating to judicial proceedings In
the West India Colonies; bat the Noble Lard would And the do-
cument. which he seemed to wish for In the Returns laid before the
other House of Parliament during the last Session. II is Lordship
gave notice of his intention to move for copies of all Correspond-
ence between the Government and the Colonial Legislatures, since
the period of the last Returns.
The Earl of CALED' IN presented a petition from Dundee,
praying for the abolition of Slavery.

CORN LAWS.
Earl GROSVENOR presented a petition from Saddles
worth in the West Riding of York, against any alteration in the
Corn Laws. His Lordship observed that he was not anxious for
any agitation of the subject at present ; but he hoped the subject
would receive full consideration from their Lordships. Ile
thought the more petitions were presented on this subject the
better.

Lord KING said he had a petition to present against the real
dead weight—the Corn Laws. His Lordship observed that
he had had the misfortune to provoke the animadversions of
some Noble horns who differed with him on the subject of the
Corn Laws. It had been objected to him that he had imputed
unworthy motives to those who supported that system; but if
their Lordship would look back to history. they would see what
was the origin of the Corn Laws. In thole dark ages
of legislation, when it was asserted that a one pound note
and a guinea were of equal value, the Corn Laws were
passed, and when a reduction of prices was thought advisable
the landlords objected ; they would prefer an arrangement which
must defraud the public creditor, or a tax upon the public, to
any measure that would curtail their incomes. At that time there
had been an alliance between the Government, the landlords, and
the clergy. The Government wanted high taxes, the landlords
high prices, and the clergy high tithes. Two of the parties were
at present anxious to adhere to the agreement, but he believed the
Government were well disposed to get rid of it, and it
was asked how could the taxes be paid without high prices? His
Lordship thought the Corn Laws a most grievous tax, as it
ill, a direct tax upon the common necessaries of life ; and as
to their being for the benefit of the community it; was quite an
absurdity to assert It. His Lordship then presented a petition from
Dundee. praying for a repeal of the Corn Laws, and a similar
petition from the Corporation of Arbroath.
The Earl of LIMERICK said he was glad to perceive that the
Noble Lord altered his old notes, and instead of the "job of jobs,"
had changed to dead weight as a variety ; and he hoped, as the
Session advanced, the Noble Lord would become less metaphy-
Quid, and attend more to the statement of facts. Without mean-
ing any offence to the Noble Lord, he must take leave to say
that there never was any greater misrepresentation of facts than
that the Corn Laws were enacted entirely for the benefit of lend.

The Earl of KINCISTON presented a petition from the owners
and occupiers of land in the barony of Condons and ClartObbons,
in the county of Cork, praying their Lordships not to make any
alteration in the Corn Laws.
CURRENCY IN SCOTLAND.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he had a petition to pre.
sent from the burgh of Ayr against any alteration in the present
system of banking in Scotland. There never was a subject upon
which the people of Scotland or of any other country were so una-
nimous as the prastsuts and he would call upon their Lordahips
ta give the measure great consideration before ft was attempted
to be passed into a law. His Lordship then presented similar
petitions from Dundee, Dingwall, Elgin, Lauder, two from Jed.
burgh, one (rout Montrose, one from Leith, and another from
Lanark.
