LON I)ON,
TUESDAY, MAY 7. left.
*ant( r in

Earl GREY took occasion yesterday evening
the House of Lords to express has opinion upon the
pLin proposed by the Ministers of the Crown for
fmniip; out the annuities, superannuation', and
half-pay. The opinion of a Statesman of tape.
• rience could not be favourable to a project so cir-
' sceitous and preposterous, and the Noble Earl, in
;taw exercise of his hest judgment, eciudessus it
-liessithout reserve. Who indeed can distinguish the
measure from a covert attack upon the sinking
fund, except by the peculiar loss that it throes
upon the country ? Lord Gast calculates the
,eyenttud loss to the country• at no less than ten
millions. If the Ministers feel the necestriey of
stbmitting to the demands of the puhlic upon the
suhject of reducing the burden of the *taxes, and
to obedience to this popular claim wish to extend
nn immediate relief to the amount of nearly two
millions wyearlikit may fulfil their desires either
by reducing the elthenditure of the Govirnment in
this amount, or by subtracting an equal sum ma-
nually from the sinking fund. They have inclined
unfortunately in principle to the latter proceeding,
but finding therAelver impeded by their own re-
cent resolutions from fullowiug such a course openly
and manfully, they have determined in an indirect
and circuicnets manner to accomplish the same re-
sult, and to afford to the present generation a trifling
relief at the expense of a large addition to the bur-
dens of posterity.
Upon this point, and also upon the measure for
extending the charter of the Bank of Eogland fur
ten years, the Noble Earl proposes to take the
sense of the House of Peers.
The .Navigation Bill, to which we lately iuvited
the attention of our readers in more extended de-
tail, was last night geed *second time in the House
of Commons, and will this evening be committed,
solely for the purpose of appointing some particu-
lar evening on which the sense of tile (louse might
be collected upon the principle of the measure.
hlr. LAMBTON presented two petitions from the
shipping interests in Sunderland and South Shields
against the professed measure; and the opinion of
the petitioners against any relaxation iu the simple '
strictness of our great navigation law, was warmly
re•eehoed by several Members, of whom some
were on the Ministerial Benches. We should
regret very much if any serious infraction were
suffered in the principle of the great Naviga-
tion Act, but we think that they who oppose the
Bill now pending in Parliament have nut read it, or
at least have not sufficiently considered its enact.
meats, or they would never represent it as
a mea-
sure that would effectually undermine the whole
fabric of our commercial and naval sopretuacy.
• The Bill aims rather at simplifying the existing
• laws, or, at the farthest, at giving them some
;slight modification, such as the course of events.,
necessarily demands, rather than at f►aruing u sys-
tem wholly new, and founded upon bases not already
salictified by the approval of many Wit-rstiotia.
We find-that all the shipping interest of Eligl.ind is
opposed to the present Bill. Sir W. CURTIS ex..
. passed, with no feeble voice, his wish that he had
the voice nig Stentor to make his opinions Limon all

over England. The public prep will silently effect
' (Us purpose for the worthy senator, but there are
►ome people who may be tempted to ask whether the
worthy Alderman ever, in point of lief, read either
►iw Navigation Act or the present Bill..and bow
tar Lis political science has qualified hint, whether
Stentor or not, to become the instructor of the
whole peuplr of Euglauti.
Lord LorroueDZIMICI plan for what he is pleas-
ed to call the relief of the people, was last night
made the subject of a long and important debate.
We must content ourselves for the present with re-
ferring our readers to the report of the several
speeches. It will Ire seen that the first of the series
of Resolutions, namely, that which provided for
the advance of one million on corn to be warehoused,
was ultimately withdrawn.

THL SING V. KENTON. ISQ.
Mr. GlitaiLY on a former day ebtained a role to thew
close why a tansies! iofuroration should not be filed agaiust
Ilse Defendant Tor oppressive conduct in his character of
Magistrate of the county of Salep. it was then stated to the
Court that one loses, a waggoner, io the service of Mr. Lloyd,
a farmer, was driving his team along a narrow lane, wiles
a gentleman named Owen came up on horseback, accompa.
nied by a lady, and desired the waggoner to make way fur she
lady to pars, but the San refused, and as he was at that lime
riding on the shafts of the waggon, Mr. Owes inquired to
whom the waggon belonged, bet the sun refused to let
him see the same of the owner, by spreading his frock over
the place where it was written. M. Owen, then attempted
to put the man aside, but a boy rho was accompanying the
waggoner set the horses going, on which Mr. Owen rode to
the head of the tram to glop Them, whets Jones ease up, aid
taking him by the court endeavoured to pull him off his
horse, and lan the attempt tore his coat trims the skirts to
the shoulder. The waggoner was afterwaide taken before
the Defendant who Stied him 10.. fur riding on the shafts of
his waggon, and directed his to pay di. for the damage done
to Mr. Owen'. coot. It was also alleged in the affidavits on
the part of the Preeecater, that Mr. Krayos refused to bail
the waggroser ; and na his master, Lloyd, making some oh-
we, he was ordered to hold his tongue or he should be
set io the stocks; the Magistrate at the same time observing,
that if Mr. Owes had koorked Jones's bead off it would
have served his right. It was also stated that Mr. ffeayoo
had held out some threat to inform Sir T. Tyrwhiti Jones,
the landlord, of Lloyd's conduct, and get bias tamed oat of
his farm ; and that Lloyd actually did, a few days after.
wards, receive a note frost the agent of his landlord to quit
his farm.
Mr. Scasterr now skewed cause against the role, and
produced affidavits Croat the Defends's, the Coastable, Sir
