LONDON :
TUESDAY, APRIL 23, 1839.

Lord RADNOR last night in the House of Lords ex-
pressed his astonishment at learning from the news;
papers that he had been put on Lord RODEN'S Com-
mittee, and begged that his name might be withdrawn,
as he wholly disapproved of its object, and declined to
serve on it. Lord RODEN will get none but RoDENITES
to go along with him in his partial investigation.
A considerable number of petitions were presented in
favour of the Penny Postage—a plan we should think
the Ministers might safely try, and by which they would
gain golden opinions.
Malta was twice alluded to, that long-neglected spot
now attracting much attention, and there seems no
doubt, but the ordinance concerning the Press, will give
rise to a debate, on a motion which Lord BaouGHAm
is to bring forward this day week, if the ordinance be
not annulled.

/The Deanery of Exeter Bill, was read a second time,
after a little sparring between Lord MELBOURNE and
the Bishop of EXETER.
In the Commons, after private business had occupied
the House for a considerable time, the Jamaica Consti-
tution Suspension Bill was read a second time ; and it
seems likely that Sir ROBERT PEEL will not offer it any
opposition. He expressly said that it was not to be
made a party question, though he wished another ap-
peal to be made to the Legislature of Jamaica before
adopting it.
Counsel were heard against the Bill and talked the
whole evening. At twelve o'clock the further hearing
*as postponed till this day, and without transacting
pp,' other business the House adjourned.

We perceive by several of the country papers,
that :the Anti-Corn-law League is working effica-
courtly in the-provinces. Lectures are delivering by
several gentlemen at various places to crowded as-
semblies, and with great effect. A newspaper is to
be established at Manchester, ;besides the Corn
Law Circular, expressly to advocate the cause, and
, make the people fully aware of the bearings of the
question. Such a course, with public meet-
tugs to get up petitions, and provoke discus-
sion, is the shortest and most certain way to succeed.
For several years the subject was allowed to lie
over; it was never extensively discussed by the
public journals; all its bearings were not and could
not be known, and the late rise in price hurried on
a decision before the public was duly informed on
the subject. Moreover, the mischief inflicted by
the Corn-laws on the community is not easily mea-
sured and ascertained. Man accommodates him-
self to circumstances, and the community reconciles
itself, however uneasily and uncomfortably,
to the diminished quantity of food, the les-
sened profit, and the slower increase of po-
pulation caused by the Corn-laws. In fact
by acquiescing in such a scoundrel law it be-
!umeß a consenting party to the landlord's guilt, and
is compelled to submit to the privations and miseries
Which are the consequences. A better spirit is, we
