ROASTED CORN, AT FOUItPENCE PER POUND.
MR. HUNT having been repeatedly calumniated by
the envious, the jealous, the malicious, the grumblers, and
backbiters of all sorts, for selling his superiorly prepared Roasted
Com at Is. per pound, and accused of having gulled the public,
and filled his pocket from the earnings of the poor, he has at length
determined (although he does not wish to play the game of the old
man and his ass in the fable) to accommodate the above-named
gentry, and particularly those who esteem Cheapness the acme of
perfection, with Roasted Corn at one penny per quarter of a pound,
at his Shops in the Metropolis only, for a limited period, where his
universally approved Roasted Corn will continue to be sold as
usual at Is. per pound.
The best proof (if any were wanting) of the nutricious and un-
rivalled wholesome quality of Mr. Hunt's superiorly prepared
Roasted Corn, is this tact, that upwards of 200 oithe most eminent
medical men in the metropolis, and three times that number in
the country, not only recommend it to all their patients who are
afflicted with indigestion and nervous irritability, but actually use
it regularly in their own families.
The only thing that Mr. Hunt means to say for his Fourpcnny
Article, in addition to its cheapness, is, that he warrants it to be
made with good sweet corn. and roasted in a very superior way' to
that with which the public have hitherto been " obliged" at six-
pence per pound.

rent to the Commons, requesting that that house would Garnish
their Lordships with a copy of the Report of the Committee on the
Bill for the recovery of small debts.--.1/rdcred. •

COUNTY COURTS' RILL.
The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented s pei•ion from the
Registrar of the Chancellor of Durham, praying for compensation
in case the County Courts' Bill should pass into a law.--Laid on
the table.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.
Mr. Courtenay, Sir Wm. Congreve and others, from the Com-
' mons brought' up the Bankrupt Laws Amendment Bill, the Fih.
teen Millions "Exchemer Bills' Bill, the Commissioner* of Cir..
I Thies in England and Wales ICI, the Scotch Distillery Bill, the
law of Merchants' Bill, the Hides and Skins' Bill, the Equi-
table Loan Bill, and several private Bills, which were all read a
I first dine.

INSURRECTION ACT.
The Earl of HARROWBV brought up the Ucpnrt of the
Committee, appointed to inquire into the state of those districts in
Ireland at present under the operation of the Insurrection Act.
The Report stated, that it was the opinion of the Co:rmittee that
the Act should continue m force another year. The Noble Eat)
informed the House. that, in conformity with this opinion, a Bill
would be brought in to-morrow (this day). to continue the opera-
tion of the Act. On Thursday he should move that it be read N
second time ; and on Friday he should propose its being com-
mitted.
Lord HOLLAND observed, that although he should not, hy
any remarks, provoke a debate on the second reading, still he
wished it to be distinctly understood, that he did not agree with the
principle of she BilL
BANKRUPT LAWS AMENDMENT BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, with reference to the Bankrupt
hawk Amendment Bill, remarked, that it was a measure of great
importance, and that some time must elapse before the second
reading took place, to give Noble Lords an opportunity of consi-
dering it.
SCOTCH HERITABLE ESTATE BILL.
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in moving the third reading of the
Scotch Heritable Estate Bill, stated, that he hail postponed the
measure in the last Session, in order that the enactments of the Bill
might be understood in Scotland, where it had teethed due consi-
deration. At any time it would have been a wise andjust measure,
but now it was a necessary one. The Noble and Learned Lord on
the Woolsack had said, that the situation cf certain parties in
Scotland, who were prevented front receiving property in conse-
quence of the present law' was intolerable; for, as it now stood,
persons possessing entailed estates could not dispose of a part of it
for the younger branches of their families. The Noble Earl con-
cluded by moving the third reading of the Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR supported the Bill, which would
give greater relief w the Chancellor than almost any other measure
that could be devisitl. He had alwayatelt the hardship of the law
of Scotland on this point, and in reversing the Queensberry leases,
he had felt groat disuess of mind ; but he was compelled to do so
in conformity with his judicial duty.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE complimented the Noble Earl
(Aberdeen) on bringing forward the measure, and thotisht it
might be necessary to go further with the principle of it at q future
PeYd•
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.

MOUSE OF COMMONS. TCESD&Y, lass 1.

In aarwqueoee of the Innen Interest excited bytha metion. of
mg. relative to the tried of the late Mr. Smith', the
Missionary at 13eatosea, the ammo to the House of Commons
were crowded at as early hour by penises amines to hear the de-
bate on the subject. The doors of the gallery of the Howe were
opened at half-past twelve, and iounediately the gallery was filled.
The Speaker took the ChakAßL E LOANat four
o'clock.
EQUITBILL.
Sir W. CONDREVE moved the third reading of the Equitable
Loan Bill.
Mr. WHITBREAD rose for the Stream of opposing the Bill.
observing, that them was no necessity for the, forestation of a Joint
Stock Company in order to carry on the trade of pawnbrokers ; there
were quite enough In the country, and they were governed by very
strict laws, sad he did not see that there wan any case made out
why Parliament should be called on to interfere in the manner Fo-
rmed brr the Bill. It seemed that the rate of interest taken by
pawnbevkers was complained of as a grievance ; whatever it was, at
was sanctioned by the law. It appeared that the pawnbroker lent
ta. fid. at the rate of a halfpenny per month. What did this Joint
Stock Company propose to do ? why, to lend for the same sum
2s. 7dei and he really did not see in this any very great equity or
ty. He wan aware of the important subject that was fixed
foerptlall evening, and he therefore wotikl not take up the further
Wm of the House, ;bqt would conclude by moving, es an amend.
meet. that the Bill rind a third time that day three months.
Mr. 110BHOUSE acceded the amendment. He thought, that
it was high time that the Moose should interfere to discourage the
spirit of speculation dug was abroad, 'and not,give aid to it by such
enectnients as %hemmed. If this Bill pained. he knew of nothing
to prevent a monopoly in every other branch of trade, and instead of I
extatuig a competition among tradesmen, it was the way mated:
them altogether, by allowing a company to come ins. them with
the poesoision of • large capital, and with particular privileges con-
ferred tin theta by Am of Parliament.
Sir W. CONO REVS supported the Bill t he denied the correct-
ness of the cakulatimaofthe Hon. Member for Middlesex. Pawn-
brokers were certainly allowed to take four times the amount of
ordinary legal interest, and it was to remedy this that the present
Bill wart frame.L
Sir W. DE CRESP.ANY likewise supported the Bill.
Mr. MONCK said the Bill then before Use House mitndetl of
charity, but smelt of interest t it was Christian in profession, but
Jewish in principle. Ile had objections to the measure on general
grounds • he did not like to employ large capital to the rain.of all the
smaller 'tradesmen. Ha did not think the effort of the Rill would
be beneficial, and therefore he would not consent to lend them the
authority of Parliament to do that which they might do without,
if they chose to die ide themselves into smaller bodies.
Mr. ROBERTSON implored. the Ministers not to give their
countenance or support to such injurious Bills as the present.
Mr. Alderman WOOD opposed the pill, and Col. DAVI E d sup.
ported it.
Mr. WHITBRF.ADbegged to inquire of the Speekv. whether
Members who were shareholders could vote on a division ?
The SPEAKER replied, that any Honourable Member having
a pecuniary interest in my measure before Parliament. wee thereby
disqualified from voting on that subject ; that was an univevselly
adjudged principle, not founded on any standing order of the House,
but oo the law of Parliament.
alir. 11. SU3IN ER suggested, that those Member] who were in-
Welted should withdraw.
The SPEAKER said, that he thought the. suggestion nremature,
widener what had fallen from hie, he did not think that any Mem.
bee, having an interest in the Bill. could attempt to vote. The
proper method of ascertaining it was by ballot.
Dr. LUSH INGTON remarked, that he had become one of the
Vice-Presidents, from a conviction that its object was to produce
good, H
felt mound that its effect would be beneficial, but he
certainly had not intended to vote upon it.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House di-
vided—
For the third reading, 40 ; against it, 3Si I Majority, 8.
During our absence loin the Army several clauses a ere added.
On the question that the do pass, another division took
place :
For the passing of the Bill, 41; against it,.23 I Majority, 19.
The Manchester and Stafford Equitable Loan Bill was, after a
few observations from Lard STANLEY, read a thinl time and
passed.
The Hibernian Mining Company Bill was read a third time and
passed.
SOUTH LONDON DOCK-COMPANY.
Mr. 11. SU DINER brought up the report of the South hoodoo
Dock Company; the reading of it was opposed by Mr. Cartels and
Mr. Hume, and supporta& by Mr. H. Sumner and Mr. Denison.
—The report was afterwards read and laid on the table.
Mr. 11..,C31N1.R then moved, that the minutes of evidence
given on the Committee should be laid on the table.
Mr. CANNING moved as an amendment, that in consequence
of the lateness of the hour at which they had arrived, all Mohcr
private business should be adjournul tilt to-morrow.
The amsrulnient was, after a few words from Mr. H. St:sir:an,
agreed to without a division.

Mr. CAREW presented a petition from the county of Wexford,
praying for Catholic Emancipation.—Ordered to be printed.

Mr. S. RICE presented a petition from the Chamber of Com-
ma in the city of Limerick, against the Warehoused Wheat
