Mr. METH UEN said. k eras tat agreeable to the eons
hoe members to hear that they were thereby corrupt meson,
aud acted from corrupt motives.
Mr. HO BHOUSE was astonished at this boo. member's
squeamishness, 'for surely he was not hinted at its the petition.
There were undoubtedly many him. members in that House
who were highly independent, and who obtained Ikea seats
in the most honourable manner $ bat had they not lately
heard of seats being sold, of such and such seats having been
Nought by the occupiers, and that places were requisite to
enable the Crown to maintain its in/ inner I—but they had
received petitions containing stronger lainguage—that of the
friends of the people, for instance. They °trend to prove
that certain seats were filled by particular Peen or certain
members. He hoped that further resistance would not be
' offered on account of the language, for if it were. the people
might begin to suspect that all was not exactly right.
Mr. LAMBION said, this petition wily professed to he
that of the " undersigned.' persons. The complaint (Sir M.
Ridley's) was remarkable, fur when the celebrated " Hole
and Corner" Petitions were presented, it was said that the
sense of the people could as well be collected by such, as by
soy other menus. The squeamishness about seats was re-
inutkable, for he had heard members stale tee very prices
for which seats had been obtained, without those persons
being called to order. Lord Cochrane said be bad given
50031. for a neat. Noland v thought of calling thine persons
to order, and yet this petition was complained of so warmly.
—lle declared that he did nut think the object of the peti-
tioners to he, to insult and vilify the Hoare.—(Heir )
Mr. PEEL declared that he thought these could he no
doubt of the petionere object being to vilify and besets the
House. To resist the precedent now sought to be established,
and to protect the sacred right of petition, he also mast üb.
ject to the document being received.
Mr. MONCK observed, that as the petitioners were rea-
soning on what he might now call " historical fact.," they
adverted to charges that had been preferred, and that bad
out been refuted ; and he tberi•forts hoped that the House
would not reju et the petition on such grounds.
The gallery was then cleared for a division. The numbers
were—For the petition, 99—Against it, 193 —hlujority
against it, 101.
Mr. HU ME presented a similar petition, in the sentiments
and prayer of which he concurred. The petition was from
Paisley. It was read and ordered to lie of the table.
The House, at its rising, on the motion of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, was nereed to be adjourned to Monday
next.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied.
that if it could nut be brought forward early, it would be
postponed.
The house then went into the committee.
Sir J. OSBORN moved that the grant, postponed from
a former evening, for 151,0001. on account of the im-
piovements in our dock-yards, be agreed to.
Mr. FIUME was against this vote. He maintained that
one farthing mole ought nut to be granted till she utility
of carrying out such works was tits! ascertained, parti-
cularly iiillMs at Sheerness. They hail east already, so
expensive were thole several works, 1,4'21,00,./1. ; and he
should therefine propose that such fart he first ascertain-
ed. If they went on, doubtless the eapence would be
upwattli of 2,000,0001. to the country ; were they pre-
pared to incur such increased expellee?
The amendment was negatived, aud the original reso.
Winn agreed to.
