LONDON:
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1211.

The Earl of STIAFTESBtRY sat last night for the
Lord. CHANCELLOR, who was absent from the
House& Lads on account of illness.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a further
Report concerning the Earl of CARDIGAN, re-
quiring the attendance of witnesses and the ac-
cused with his bail on Tuesday.
The Earl of DEVON referred to some story of a
surveyor of the Coleraine district in Tipperary
having marked certain persons in an official list
as Tories. The Marquis of NORMANDY said he
knew nothing about it, but would inquire into it.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from
Glasgow, deploring the schism which exists be-
tween the middle and lower classes, and praying
for an extension of the franchise to remedy it.

The Noble Lord also presented petitions from
Members of the Universal Rational Religious
Society (the Socialists), praying for inquiry into
their tenets. The Noble Lord took the op-
portunity of reiterating in strong terms his
conviction that the only politic as well as just
course with reference to all opinions, poli-
tical and religious, however heretical and revolt-
ing, including repeal, was to tolerate them, and
not attempt to crush or put them down by pro-
secution, and they would so much the sooner die
out. This is noble and wise philosophy. As it
has taken somewhat more than twelve years to
convert Sir R. 'PEEL to Mr. BROUGHAM'S opi-
nions of 1827 and 1828, we are afraid that an-
other twelve years must elapse before the Right
Hon. Baronet will be converted to the liberal
and correct opinion we have just quoted of Lord
BROUGHAM.

The Marquis Of WESTMEATH, who seems to
be an easily chafed person, complained that the
hot air by which the House is heated is disagree-
able to him. Lord DUNCANNON made a promise
to inquire into the matter, and their Lordships
adjourned.
In the Commons, the Earl of LIsTOWEL and
Lord EASTNOR took their seats.
After the presentation of a considerable num-
ber of petitions, the SPEAKER called over the
list of Members liable to serve on Election Com-
mittees, excusing Lord PALMERSTON, Lord J.
RUSSELL, and other Members of the Govern_
men t, on account of their official dutie', and
excusing several Members on account ofthtir

age.
Various notices were given, for which we refer
to our report.
In answer to Lord INCESTRIE, Lord JOHN
itussi.t. said the sailing of the Niger expedition
had been delayei because it was not thought ad-
visable, on account of the deficiency of water, to
enter the river till June.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL obtained leave to bring in
a Bill to provide for the appointment and pay-
ment of parish constables.

Lord SANDON in moving for certain returns
to elucidate the progress which had been made
by the Commissioners for investigating and
determining the claims of British naval and
military officers on the Government of Portugal,
complained of the delay which had taken l 1-I.cc
in settling this matter. It had made no progress
since he left town.

Viscount P LMERSTON said, on the contrary,
A
the Commissioners
had made considerable pro-
gress. They had agreed to a code of rules for
their guidance, and they had taken into their
consideration the question of contracts of service,
about which they appear to have differed, and the
question W3S referred to the Belgipn Minister,
as arbitrator, who had not yet given his decision.
After a few words from Sir DE LACEY EYANg,
expressing an opinion that the affair was making
progress, the returns were ordered.
Mr. 11. BAILLIE drew a somewhat lugubrious
picture of the distress of the people in the High-
lands, chiefly arising from the destruction of
'the paan,ufacture of kelp. Our readers know
that owing to the pr
knoWledge, alkali .is ..ogress of chemical
now manufactured in
inch_ abundance and so cheaply from common

salt that it does not pay men to gather sea-weed
and make alkali out of that. The manufacture
of the Highlands has been destroyed by the pro-
gress of art and skill, and a host of laws
which prevent the nation from cultivating,
though it be at peace, the arts of peace;
have prevented the Highlanders from finding
profitable employment in other branches of hu-
man industry. Mr. H. BAILLIE wants to employ
the public money in relieving the landlords of the
Highlands from the duty of providing for the
people, whom the Legislature will not allow to
provide for themselves. He moved for a Com-
mittee to consider how far the Highlanders may
be relieved by promoting emigration.
Lord TEIGNMOUTII seconded the motion.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL assented to the Com-
mittee, but did not assent to give any money to
remove the Highlanders. We agree with the
Noble Lord, and we wish he had never consented
to squander almost as large a sum as is asked for
the Highlanders on Sir FOWELL BUXTON'S quix-
otic and contemptible expedition.
Sir ROBERT INGLIS concurred in the scheme
to tax the people to remove the Highland land-
o vners' people out of their way.
Mr. WAnsunToN opposed the motion, because
it would raise expectations which were not to be
