be made which would be to the advantage of all parties. The
principle of total repeal was by far too theoretical. He doubted
the possibility of applying that principle to this country, in its
artificial state, with such enormous interests at stake, and
under a state of law which gave protection to the landed inte-
rest. If the principle were good for the regulation of the corn
trade, it was goad for any other ; if it was good as affecting
corn, it was also good as affecting labour. Then let them look
at the Navigation-laws. If the principle were good as affected
corn, it ought to be the privilege of every person to employ
labour at the cheapest rate he could possibly get it.—( Hear,
hear.) Merchants ought to have the privilege of em-
ploying any seamen which they might find it convenient
to employ; bur no, the House stepped in, and said that we must
encourage our own marine in order to take security that the
maritime superiority and independence of this country should
be maintained.—( Cheers.) If the principle is to be applied
generally, then the whole of our colonial system must be aban-
doned.—( Hear, hear.) Foreign sugars must be entitled to
admission on terms equally free to that from our own Colo-
nies—( Hear, hear) —and again the same principle applies to
cur timber trade; and every protecting duty upon our manu-
factures, imposed, for the best of purposes, upon the same prin-
ciple, must be extinguished ; and if they must not in the case of
corn take an insurance against the caprice of foreign countries—
against the vicissitude of seasons, neither could they take a security
for the marine, or give a preference to the Colonies, er any pro-
tection at all to manufactures. The proposition of the Hon.
Member for Wolverhampton might, theoretically, look very
well, but when they looked at the great interests which had
grown up under the protective system—when they found
that whether theoretically applied to the system or not,
still large establishments had been formed that could
not be disturbed without great and evil consequences. How-
, ever imperfect the system might be, still it must be remembered
that the country, considering its population, had acquired the
greatest colonial empire, the largest Indian empire, the greatest
influence among nations, and also, simultaneously, this country
presented the spectacle of a country, limited in its extent, who
were carrying on the greatest marufacturing interest in the
world. Under all these circumstances, he would not go the
length of the Prime Minister, and say that he who introduced
a scheme E.r the repeal of the Corn-laws was the maddest of
men ; but this he would say, that he could not consent Feed"
tally to give away those great advantages for the purpose of
supporting that principle which would be theoretically destruc-
tive, fearing that the confusion and distress must greatly
countervail any advantage which we might have, and that any
change would be at the expence of practice over theory. The
Hen.- Baronet sat down amidst loud cheering.
Mr. WARBURTON rose amidst loud cries of " Adjourn,"
" Divide," "Go on," which lasted for some time. We under-
stood the Hon. Member to say that, considering the number
of gentlemen who were anxious to speak upon the subject, he.
must move the adjournment of the debate till Monday.--.
( Cries of " No, no," and " Divide," " Monday week," and
great confusion.)

The SPEAKER having put the question, " That the debate
be adjourned," an Hon. Member on the Opposition Benches
exclaimed, " 'Till next Session."—( Laughter and cheer..)
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no division
took place, and on our re-admission to the gallery we found—
Lord J. RUSSELL on his legs, stating, that after the speoth
of the Right Hon. Baronet he thought it would not be fP:ir to
go to a division; and, therefore, he hoped the debate would be
adjourned till Monday.—(Cries of " No, no," %. Adjourn,
adjourn," )
Strangers were again ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when the numbers were—
For the adjournment of the debate 129
Against the adjournment
Majority --116
Mr. WARBURTON then moved that the House should
then adjourn.
The question was put and carried without a division.
(The result was bided with loud cheers and laughter on the
Opposition Benches. )
The House adjourned at Half-pat One.

It has been remarked by some experienced Agri-
culturists, that the present season has been particularly destruo"
Live to weeds, although the corn is less injured than it has been
in preceding years, when weeds have appeared comparativelY
unatietted by the weather. The corn-rose, or red-weed, is
stated to be completely destroyed in some fields by the late
frosts.

HANOVER, MARCH 26.—The King has again
suffered from indisposition within these few days, which has
been considered rather serious since. Her Majesty the Queen,
it is said, sat up a whole night by his bedside.
HANOVER, MA non 29.—His Majesty the
King has now happily recovered from his indisposition. Re-
secting the draft of a new Constitution, we learn, in respect to
Chapter V., which treats of the Estates, that the First Cham-
ber require the full right of assenting to all the laws of S'.fe
kingdom. and that chapter will scarcely pass. The same it the
ease with the chapter on the finances. We hear that the elec-
tors of Cello have again been called upon to elect a Depr.ty, a"
that in consequence the citizens will meet to-morrow to choose
electors. It is said that another attempt will be made in the
capital to obtain an election.—Hantburgli Paper.
It is said that in case of the rejection of gr.
Villiers' motion, a number of influential gentlemen have deter-
mined to lay down a broad basis for future political operations,
with a view of establishing a union between the working, ma-
nufacturing, and mercantile classes of the community.
