FOREIGN CORN.

The Earl of DARNLEY wished. to call the attention of the
Noble Earl to an impression which generally prevailed anion gat
farmers, that a great part of the corn imported under the
nomination of Irish corn, v.-as not really from Ereland, but
wits foreign corn fraudulently entered. At a :hne when roes-
aures were preparing to relieve their distresses, every means
should he used: to e_ive them satiefaction.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL stated in reply, that all
portatiOn of foreign corn undo:. the denor""•,tion of E:7157., wee
absolutely impossible. He was perfectly satisfied that it was
impossible, and in fact the productive state of Ireland, and
particularly of the western parts, was quite suacicrt to ac-
count for the great it of corn which had taken place
from that country. From what he knew himself, he wascer•-
tain that the importation of grain acm Ireland would go on
increaning-
INSURRECTION ACT.

Lord ►ING reminded the Noble Bari that when the .0.1!,
for Suspending the Habeas Corpus, and renewing the Insdr-
rection Act in Ireland, had been brought in, a clause had
been introduced, limiting their duration to the end of the
present Session. He wished to know whether the Noble
Earl thought any further renewal of those Bills necessary,
and far what period ; and trusted that if they were to be re-
newed, no time would be lest in bringing the subject bcfry:e
Parliament.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL replied, that it was not the in-
tention of his Majesty's Ministers to pxr.-ose the renewal of
the Bill for Suspending the Habeas Corpus in Ireland but
that a measure would shortly be introduced in the other H:.112
to renew the Irish Insurrection Act, which otherwise would
expire next August.
