HAAIDURGH, F. 28, 1837.
ALL those who may have to write to us are re-
quested to be particular in directing,
HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH ;
but ntiatiter the denomination BANKERS, or LOTTERY CON-
TRACTORS, or MERCHANTS, nor any other, is required on
the Address: and Letters directed

HEINE BROTHERS, IN HAMBURGH,
without any further remarks or description, will do for any Branch
of our multifarious Business. We beg further to observe, that a
Letter with one enclosure doubles the postage only. but several en-
closures would by far increase the same; thus 20/. 401, or 60/.,
for instance, if remitted in one Bank of England Note would only
cause double postage ; but 20/. remitted in two Ten-pound Notes,
or Four Five-pound Notes, would be liable to a much higher
charge. It is, therefore, most advisable for those having to remit
money to Hamburgh to forward the amount, whenever possible,
in One Note, or One Check, or one Bank Post Bill, &c. &c. The
mute is advisable on receiving Money from Hamburgh. Of course,
arge sums, amounting to some or many thousands may rather be
remitted in Bills of Exchange.
All those having to give any Orders for such Branches of our
Business as must be executed More the 26th MARCH are re-
quested to lose no time in forwarding the same.
HEINE BROTHERS.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1837.

In the House of Lords yesterday, petitions, and con-
versation of some interest, on the subject of Church-rates,
occupied their Lordships a considerable time.
The affairs of Canada were then brought forward by the
Earl of Hires, rho moved that an account of the expense
of the Commission sent to Canada, be laid on the table.
It was eventually arranged that a message should he sent to
the Commons, requesting them to communicate the evi-
(knee on the subject now before their House.
The Municipal Corporation Act Amendment Bill went
through Committee, and the R. port was ordered to he
received on the Friday after Easter. Their Lordships then

adjourned.
In the House of Commons, after some warm discussion
relating to the Brighton Railway Bills, the baneful opera-
tion of the Corn Laws was brought under the notice of a
very thin House, by Mr. CLAY, who presented several pe-
titions from various places against them. The Hon. Mem-
ber fur the Tower Hamlets concluded a long and masterly
speech, characterized throughout by great accuracy, clear-
ness and ability, with moving, " That the House resolve
itself into a Committe of the whole House, to consider the
propriety of permitting corn, grain, meal, and flour, the
growth and produce and manufacture of any foreign country,
to be imported into the United Kingdom for consumption,
on the payment of fixed duties, instead of duties regulated
from time to time according to the average price of British
corn." A discusssion ensued, which we have elsewhere no-
ticed. On a division the numbsrs were, for Mr. CLAY'S
motion, 89 ; Against it, 223.
Mr. Alderman WOOD obtained leave to bring in a Bill
to effect improvements in the Metropolis, and for purchasing
Waterloo and Southwark bridges for the free use of the
public. The Hon. Gentleman stated that it was not in-
tended to raise the money necessary fur those objects by
means of a lottery, but by a duty on coals.

The LORD-ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a But
for regulating the sequestration of Bankrupt's Estates in
Scotland ; and a Bill to regulate the process of Sheriffs'
and Burgh Courts in Scotland.

On the motion of the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER,
a Select Committee was appointed to consider the best
mode of effecting a survey of parishes, for the purpose of
carrying into effect the Tithe Commutation Act.
Various Returns regarding Canada were ordered, and
the House then adjourned.

Mr. CLAY last night brought forward his long expected
motion on the subject of the Corn-laws. The object of
the Honourable Member for the Towet Hamlets was to
repeal the present absurd and impolitic and fraudulent sys-
tem, by which the price of the first necessary of life is en-
hanced to the community in order to put money into the
pockets of a small and selfish class, and to substitute in
its stead a simpler and more equitable plan. The duties on im-
ported corn are regulated at present by the prices in the home
market taken at stated periods the duties falling as prices rise,
and vice versa—the consequence of which is that it becomes
a matter of great importance to speculators to falsify the
averages to suit their particular interests ; and that this is
done to an enormous extent is agreed on all hands. Mr.
CLAY proposes that instead of these ever-varying and un-
certain duties, fixed duties should be laid on corn, meal,
&c. imported from other countries. The principles avowed
by Mr. CLAY would have led him to abolish the Corn-laws
altogether, and to have advocated an unrestricted trade in
human food, but be knew that it would have been useless
to attempt gaining the assent of the landed interest to such
a proposition, and therefore he very properly limited his
motion to a qualified repeal. The result has thus shown
beyond all doubt that the landowners are impenetrable to
arguments founded on reason and deduced from experience
—that they are doggedly determined to cling to the sys.
tem as it exists at all hazards. They have a monopoly,
and they will keep it. Their interests are opposed to
those of all the other classes of the community ; yet this is
a distinction which they find it convenient to blink alto-
gether in their clamour for protection. We can see some
justice in one branch of trade claiming an equal degree of
protection with another, but these voracious manufacturers
of an article of necessary and universal consumption, and
therefore entitled to less protection than others, would claim
a protection both differing in kind, and exceeding
in degree, that afforded to every other species of manufac-
ture. And look at the inconsistency displayed by their
