EMORNING POST.]
The Advertisement from the City of London
'raven) (see our first page), whilst it announces
so further Splendid addition to the Subscriptions
in) aid of the Fund for the relief of the famishing
Irish Peasantry, gives a most afflicting Report
from the Committee so laudably employed on
this humane and heavenly occasion :—" They
lave found the poverty and distress of Ireland,
and the great deficiency of the accustomed food
of potatoes of the Southern and Western Pro-
sinces, to be very extended and general, and the
Effering of the people extreme and increasing.—
They anxiously hope that the assistance afforded
by the Government, by the Proprietors, or Resi-
dents in those Dictricts, who have property or
means, and by ibi! humane and liberal sympathy
of England, have tended in some degree to miti-
gate this great distress and most severe want; but
they feel themselves, by their position, obliged
publicly to declare, that the evidence they have
of its existence, through nearly one-third of Ire-
land, containing.a population of nearly two mil-
lions, is such as to render it indispensable for
them to continue to call on the generous sym-
pathy of Englishmen of all ranks and classes to
contribute to C:e mitigation of the extreme distress
and misery in Ireland, to which the most general
and liberal beneficence cannot be wholly 'efficient
from this time to the middle of August next,
however nobly and usefully it be suited to assist
in the general efforts for the mitigation or relief
of the present great distress."—ln conclusion,
the Committee express their reliance upon " the
spontaneous liberality and sympathy of the inha-
bitants of Great Britain, to afford their generous
aid, in the present calamity of the hour, in a
.manner to avert the danger of more extended
suffering and want."

[RP.ITISII PRESS.]
The right of search constitutes the most vex-
atious and oppressive part of the tax on salt,
now proposed to be reduced in England from
fifteen to two shillings a bushel. It would be
an aggravation of the original sin were this right
to remain in force after the reduction had taken
place, a reduction so great, that the remains will
.110 t justify the continuance of the expensive ma-
chinery of the collection. All apprehensions on
that point are however at rest. The Earl of
Liverpool, in answer to a question from Lord
Suffield in the ilouse of Lords last night, stated.
that in the event of the Bill for the reduction of
the tax being- passed, the right of search would
riot be insisted upon.

The line of policy intended to he pursued by
Government towards the States of South America,
;was alluded to last night in the House of Com-
mons by Mr. Lennard. The Hon. Member ex-
pressed his disappointment at not finding in the
Colonial Trade Regulation Bill a clause recog-
nizing their independence. The Marquis of Lon-
donderry, in answer, stated, that lie had no in-
formation to give that was not already before the
public. With all humble deference to his Lord-
ship, we do not think he need be, afraid or
ashamed to speak out plainly and boldly upon
.this subject. Government cannot 'avoid the ac-
knowledgment of the independence of the late
Spanish Provinces in South America, and re-
serve upon the question is unworthy of a great

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
The Poor Removal Bill of Mr. Scar!ett was
lost last night. Our limits will not allow us to
enter into this extensive and important subject.
We may, however, observe, that the views of
Mr. Monck, one of the speakers, who went at
great length into it, appear to us particularly
erroneous. Witt the facts before him of the
poor rates of Glasgow, hardly exceeding in
amount that of many a Country Parish in Eng-
land, and the other manufacturing towns in
Scotland being proportionally low, he could yet
talk of the impossibility of the Irish manu-
facturer competing with the English manu-
facturer, because— the former could not pay
his labourers out of the poor rates ! The
manufacturing districts in England have always
had their poor rates low ; and labour, except on
very extraordinary occasions, is not paid ,out
of them.—The virtues of agriculturists and vices
of manufacturers were also copiously enlarged
on—both agriculturists and manufacturers are
equally neces,ary, and both have no doubt their
respective good and bad qualities—One.thing
may however he said of the manufacturing dis-
tricts, the population in them is not merely the
cleverest, but physically the finest.

[MOIINING iIY.RALD.]
The third reading of Mr. Wallace's Bill is
postponed to TUesday night. Petitions against
it are pouring in from all the manufacturing dis-
tricts, pointing out, in very convincing language,
the extreme folly of importing a cheap and ex-
cellent piece of..foreign manufacture into Eng-
land, for the purpose of being shown to a fo-
reigner, in the same warehouse and on the same
counter, in comparison with a piece of British
rnanufmcture, which latter must necessarily he
the dearer of the two, in consequence of the ex-
cessive taxation of England over all other coun-
tries.' Some people express their astonicunent,
that the Honourable Member should bring
in a Bill to permit the importation of articles,
which cannot, by any possibility, leave a profit
to the country, and which foreigners are sure to
purchase in preference to the same articles of
British manufacture. And as hitherto foreigners,
in return for .their cargoes of produce brought to
England, have been content to take Briti,,h goods,
the petitroners cannot conceive why the Right
Hon. President of the Board of Trade should
want to tempt foreigners with foreign productions
in lieu of what they have hitherto been well con-
tent with. Many people begin to be of opinion
that Boards of Trade do more harm than.good—
like the Linen Board of Dublin, at which Nobk
