"NEW ..runts.]
in the House of Lords.last night the Corn Im,
-iiortation Dill went through .a Committee, • and
Was ordered to'be read a third.tiine on Monday
next: The House-of' Commons was engaged in
the consideration of the-MiScellaneous Kstimates.
In the -course.of -thenight Mr.. Arbuthnot took
67,caiion to observe that the declaration of the
Chancellor of,the Exchequer with respect to the
financial arrangements of next year.had been
greatly misrepresented. The Right Honourable
Gentleinan, instead of Saying that no other re-
ductiens•could take Place, had stated that even
in the most unfavourable.point•of view, suppos-
ing no further dimithition of expenditure, the
revenue would be sufficient next year to form a
Sinking Fund to"the amount Mentioned by him.

[THE TliVi ES:3
The COrn-Bill, it will be Seen, passed through
its second reading last night in. the House of
Lords, and isto be read a third time on Monday.
Several noble Lords ohjectekto the passing of
the Bill during this Session. We can only hope,
from a sincere wish for the general welfare, as
opposed to and swallowing up that of any sepa-
rate class, that the provisions of this Bill may
never be broUght into operation ; for, in4spite of
all chicane and cavil, bread at a high price, which
in Other words is but a-modified- famine, inflicts
great suffering, atid'to legislate for that purpose
is any thing but an humane or just' proceeding.
As to the sufferings of what are called the country
gentlereen, any part of those sufferings which
may have resulted from -the necessity of defend-
ing ourselves against the foreign enemy, would
inspire regret : but the truth is, that the
'country gentlemen are ruined by domestic extra-
vagance,- which none were so. ready to encourage
and sanction as -themselves. They should have
thought of these days when they were voting
impunity to the authors and executors of the
ruinous Walcheren- expedition ; when, instead of
one, "they were- establishing three Courts, with
all their appendages of Civil Lists, Privy Purses,
Lords -and Gentlemen in Waiting—a- Court for
the King, a Court' for the Queen,.a.COurt for the
Regent : ten thousand -a year to " the Duke of
York for visiting his Father! All manner
.of
places and peffsiens. in every department of State,
les't the Crown should lose its just influence:7--
Very-just intlueriCe-, to be sure! It is at once
childish and unjtift'in atiy'rnan, who has Voted
away his property in these rascally extrav'a-
gancies,- to complain now, and to attempt to
throw the burden' upon the honest' industrious
poor of the realm, by raising. the price ..of the
.bread which they must eat, or for want of which
they must" die.

DtoRNINo POST.]
In the House of Commons, last night, Sir
James Mackintbsit'Put a question to the Marquis',
oaf Londonderry on a'subject of much public im-
portance, and which we,-therefore, bring before
-our readers in this place. The Himont-id Learned
'Wilber inquired whether the Russian Ukase,
appropriating the North-Pacific Ocean, above the
51st degree of latitade,.tO 'Russia, 'and- interdict-
ing-the navigation of that
.sea by foreign vessels
within 1001talitin miles of the coast, had been
coMmunicated-tO this Government ? And if so,
whether any steps 'had been taken in conse-
-quence? His particular object in requesting an
these-.'qiieries was to afford information
`tb certain persons now ;fitting out vessels in
the Port of London, to-trade in that part of the
ocean already specified. The Marquis. of -Lon-
donderry replied, that the Official Document
to.had -been received by his Majesty's
inisters, and that immediately_ after a Note.
was forwarded to the RuSSian Ambassador, stat-
ing that this Government could neither acknowr
ledge the territorial claiMs advanced therein,by
Riissi4 nor the maritime principle on which it
was made. It wasp however, proposed at -the
same time, that an amicable, nego.Ciation should
be set on foot, 'With the 'View :of arriving at a
conclusion mutually satisfactory, and tat in
the mean time the rights of British subjects Aould
femain and be Observed exactly ,as theywere previ-
ously to the issuing of the ,Ukase. We 'under-
stood his :Lordship to intimate
.:that. this "pro-
.posal had been acceded to, and of Course' that a
negociation on the foregoing terms is now in
progress. When the Hotise went into a Com-
-mittee of Supply, agreeably 'to. the Order of
the. Day, Mi. Arbuthnot moved 'that a sum of
700,009/. should" be granted for the Army Ex-
itacirdinaries. Thelllight Hon; Gentleman stated,
that last year'otie Million was voted for:this ser-
vice, and explained how the saving of the .differ-
'ince has been effected. Mr. Hume imlnediately.
'rose; and proceiled 'at his accustomed 'rate with
-one of his crude farragoes of figures and blun-
ders. We 'have not 'time' to notice the subject
particularly to-day, lint beg the attention of
'our Readers to' the satisfactory speeches of Mr.
Wilmot and Mr. Arliuthnot in reply to, or rather
refutation. of, the Hon. Member for Aberdeen.
.The sOlektri dullness with which Mr.:Hume
wriggled round the .globe in search of something
to' cavil at in eur Colonies, and the perverse sto-
lidity-With'which lie travelled and re-travelled,
over subjects which he.. had three or four times
previously brought before, the 'Hope this Ses-
sion, gives a very co'rr'ect notion Of his 'States-
qualifiCations, and of the Or-poses 'to
`Which they are so loquaciously' devoted.
