SERVANTS OF THE LATE QUEEN.
The House went into a Committee upon a motion of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, for granting Pensions to the ser-
vants of the late Queen.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
the amount to be required by the resolution he had to propose
was 2,2851. I2s. The persons to whom the pensions were to be
granted were exclusively menial servants, and many of them
had been very long in the Queen's service ; the highest sum to
be granted was one of 4001. to John Jacob Sicartl, maitre
d'Hokl to her .late Majesty. Under these circumstances he
thought the liberality of Parliament would not suffer these
domestics to want in their old age.

FOREIGN TRADE REGULATIONS.

Mr. S. WORTLEY rose to ask a question of his Noble
Friend which greatly interested the mercantile and manufactur-
ing classes of this country. The duty upon the importation of
British woollen goods into Spain and Portugal was understood
to have been lately doubled by an actof the Cortes. He wished
.to know what-steps had been taken by Government upon this
subject. As we admitted' the wines of those countries in pre-
ference to others, it was impossible to conceive the reason of
this prohibitory system being adopted towards wt.- If nothing
=should be done by the Cortes in alteration of the course they
had pursued, he should feel it his duty to bring the matter be-
fore the House early in the next Session.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY fully recognised the
importance of the question put to him by his Hon. Friend. It

the duty continued at 15 per cent. Several remonstrances had
