Mr. CIATEIS prevented a petition from the owners and oc-
cupiers of land in Wickham, in the county of Suffolk, against any
alteration in the Corn Law,.

Sir T. LETHBRIDGE a....‘1 that the opinions which he had
formerly entertained nn the sub 'cot of the Corn Laws had under-
gone a considerable alteration fro-in the experience that the last four
or five years had furnished him wit ;he thought that the farmers
ought to be protected: here was a manure proposed by which
corn at present in the warehouses uns‘v bond was to Ix taken out
in orda to be converted into flour, foe ‘he pttrposes, it was true, of
exportation, but there was no security tf at it would not be brought
Into the English market to the detriment :tithe English farmer.
Mr. HUME • marked that the petitiones were completely mis-
taken as to the objects of the Bill against whist they were complain-
ing, as the corn was to be taken from the granaries to be ground
into flour for the consumption of the colonies. Busk a measure
was materially calculated to as • .t our carrying trade, in:d to open
for us a new source of connnt de, the colonies being at present
supplied by America.
Sir J, M ROTTESLEY said, that, If he sow the Bill in the
same light as the Honourable Member bir Aberdeen, he would nut
oppose it: but a consequence of the Bill's pawing would be to ai -
&tract good and sound four from the market, sod to 4uhstitute stale
and musty flour fur it ; be therefore shnuki cppo•A it.
Mr. ERIN'S observed, that the corn to be ground into ROUT
might be so guarded, as to prevent its being brought into the Eng-
lish maeket.
Mr. HUSKISSON rose for the purpose of protesting azsinst the
irregularity and inconvenience of debating on a Bill which was not
yet even before the House. lie thought it could be beam fur
gentlemen to reserve what they bad to say until the Bill cannon to
be discussed.

After a kw wools from Mr. D. BROW:4E and Mr. T. WILSON,
the petition was ordered to lie on the task.

.IRISH ASSOCIATIONS-ORANGE AND RIBBON MEN.

Castlinown, complaining of the existence of stela n political socie-
ties, to which all the rids that at present afflicted Ireland might be
attributable. The petitioners stated, that their omipstions were

was sorry that the Right Hon. the Foreign Secntury was not in his
place, as he remembered that on nee ocssion his eloquence had
been exerted to put down dime veeiesies, and he bud than stated
that they were opposed to all good government.
Sir J. NEWPORT obftirved, that ne had again and again called
I the attention of the House to the mischievous consequences that
must ensue front the giving support to such asitoeistions as those
complained against in the petition they had been denourced and
reprobated huts the Bench of Justice, and yet it was no uncommon
thing to see them holding high official situations., allowing their
names to be inserted in the public papen as Masters and Grand
Masters of Orange Ledger. It was idle to say that the Got errnient
was supported by the Ouingemien and opposed by the. Ribbon-
, men. It was the buiineas of Government to promote peace, and
such condoet as he had conned was calculated only to excite hilts.'
thin and ill-will. It was atisuni to suppose that while such a ante
of things lasted, any one would be found foolish enough to risk
their capital in the improvement of the cottony, or dud the people
would acquire habits of industry and activity convertible to any
good purpose.
Tbe petition was 4sen ordered to lie on the table.

EDUCATION IN IR L'LA ND.

Sir J. NEWT'olifirres Ir..a the gentlemen
and clergy of the diocese of Cork soil Ross complaining that they
were deprived of the diocesan rehool it:E. Board of Education,
inasmuch as that school wait united to another, and that in a place
rim ea necessary as where their own existed. The Board of Edu.
cation united three dioceses, and gave the inhabitants orly one din.
cesan school, while it was pretended that they were anxious to
diffuse the blessing of education throughout Ireland.
Mr. I. FOSTER said, that the plan for uniting the diocesan
schools arose from the report of the Board &Commissioners, which
took place several years ago. The present Board used every dili.
' gene to discharge their duty faithfully, and as Commissioners
were i.hortly proceeding to Ireland, whatever defects existed might
be remedied. They might allow every Bishop a diocesan school,
and perhaps adequate funds for the support of each.
Sir J. NEN .'ORT deprecated the giving large salaries to mu-
' tern of public schools, as idleness and neglect generally followed,
and the education of youth was neglected.
Mr. GOULBURN said, that the dioceses of Cork and Ross be-
ing united, the Board of Education could not comply with the me-
morial, praying the continuance of the school at Ross. The ques-
tion was referred to the Attorney-General, and the Board had acted
on his opinion. It was considered by them that Cork required a
greater extent of education than was necessary at Ross, which
could not suppovr a proper person to be at the head of the school.
Sir J. NEWPORT said, the school had existed at Ross with
great character until an improper person had been appointed.
Another person, for his own interest, wished to have the school at
Cork, but was that any mans why the inhabitants and gentlemen
in the neighbourhood of Rosa should be without one? lie WAS
happy that the Commission was appointed, and he should like to
hear the name, of the persons to whom those powers were to be en-
' trusted ? He did not press for a committee, on the assurance from
Ministers that proper persons would be appointed ; and he therefore
felt himself entitled to tall foe information on Sj very important a
subject.
Mr. GOULBURN could assure the Right Hon. Bart, that the
Commission would be speedily appointed, and that proper persona
would be named for such an arduous duty.
Sir J. NEWPORT—I look to the Ministers of the Crown, and
not to the Irish Government, in making the proper appointments.
Mr. PEEL could assure the Hon. Hart. that 43°7mila:tent was
fully aware of the importance of the subject, and roold give it all
the consideration it deserved.

I he petition was then laid on the table.
