tures te the petitions this year ought not W•---ccimpel them to think
seriously of the subject ? The petition last year fron Manchester
was signed by 36,000 individuals—this year it was signed by
59,000 ; in that part of the soanueacturing district& there was
nothing but evidence of a growing feeling on this subject. He was
afraid if the Corn laws were much longer continued there would
be a charge on the nation at large for the maintenance of the un-
employed population: and he could see nothing but the greatest dis.
tress to a country in which the national purse would have to be
drawn upon for those whore trade and industry could no longer '
support. The burthen would ultimately fall on the land.—(Hear.)
He was convinced that if that should be the case, anarchy and con-
fusion would be introduced into the country, which if governed in a
proper manner ought to maintain its scale among the nations of the
earth.—(Cheers.) Hitherto this country had ranked as the Reit
manufacturing country in thewerld ; he was afraid that If things
' went on as they were now doing, instead of being the first realm.
lecturing country in the world, it would only ho one of them. He
trembled for the landed interest if the people of the country could
not obtain a fair and honest livelihood. He bad never acceded with
cordiality to the system of finding employment for what was
called the over population of the country in other lands--
(Hear, hear) He did not see why the inhabitants of this
country should be transported.—(Cheers.) •He should regret ,t 0
see the day arrive when men were to be transported fro:nth,*
own homes to obtain that living which he solemnly believed these
laws denied to them at herne. It was Also te be retneruherea that
these who went to distant lands were not the poorest in the souotty,
they wire those who had some little, and were determined not to
lose it In this country. They would therein* have those left in
the country who would be least able to support themselves. It was
therefore Blear that by an extended system of emigration, the
country would cot relieve itself from the , burthens of those
who pressed moat upon the country,—(Hear, hear.) He had
considered the subject deeply; and the more he thought of it the
less able he was to bring his mind to a satisfactory result. He
thought this question ought to be well considered by the Honie of
Commons before they decided upon a subject of weal or woe to
hundreds of thousands of their fellow-creatures.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BARRY, of Nottingham, begged to remind those Members of
the House of Commons who had voted against a repeal of theCcen.
laws that Englishmen would not die so calmly as the poor Indiana.
Mr. EWART must confess that the whoie course of
conduct pursued by the Rouse of Commons strengthened him
in the opinion that nothing would have any effect upon it but an
appeal from without.—(Hear, hear.) He was anxious that the
attention of the coilmtry should be called to the manner in whit's
business warCelone in the House of Commons, and for that purpose
he felt inclined to bring the subject before the House itself.
(Cheers.) Last night a strong majority had come down deter.
mined that no prolonged discussion should take plate. Mr. Hume
and Mr. Ward had intended .to address the House, but they were
met with sounds which he !malty knew how to describe. He was
sorry to say as an independent Member that the mode of doing
business was to him extremely disheartening. He was sure It
would be unjustnot to eirpress his deep sense of the service which
had been rendered for the cause by the Association, Who
receive the approbation of future times, or who at least, he was
sure would deserve such approbation. He trusted they would
never allow a feeling of despair to overshadow their minds, but If it
did, that"' they .would gain' reinforceintett,, from hope, ewe
resolution from despair. The Honourable Gentleman lbw
highly panegfrised the lecturers and .condemned the epp,
sition they bad experienced, which he said Could only
have proceeded fi om a fear of truth, and a feeling by their
vents of the weakness of their cause. Sir Robert ?eel had
presented a petition to the House last evening, at which he
could not help smiling : it was from certain parsons and squires„
complaining of the audacity of the Lecturers ; the appeal to force
they could meet, but they could not for a moment bear the appeal to
reason. He regretted he had been unable to do more for the cause,
but unlem a Member of the House was able to speak before
a certain hour, it was needless for him to attempt it afterwariee.,
He was satisfied, however, the cause would be successful in the soli,
but it was not by appeals to Parliament they would be stionessftit
but by persevering, constant appeals to the sense and reason of the
people. —(Ch eers.)

The CHAIRUAN then intimated to the League their sittings
were
closed, and recommended them to depart sv':,tt the motto, " Nit
desperatlum!"
Mr. BEACON said he could rot
without a vote of thanks permit the League to separate
advocated their cause; to that portion of the Press which bad
; which was unanimously agreed to by the
meeting, which then separated.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
TIMES.--The supply of money from the Bank, whiois
was probably the cause of the settlement yesterday beirg
so much easier than was expected, has, it is supposed,
been the occasion of the buoyant appearance of the Eng.
lish Market to-day, which is so contrary to the aspect of
the few days that preceded the settlement. In the course
of the day Consols rose to 928 to 93 !or Money, and 94
for the Account; but, declining a little in the afternson,
left off 024 to 8 for Money, and 931 to 4- for the Account.
Exchequer Bills, which have not varied for teveral days,
remain at 234. to 255. prem.

POST.—The English Funds 'were very buoyant again
to-day, Consols advancing to 93 for Money and 934 for
the Opening, with every prospect of at least maintaining
those quotations, from the expected cheapness of money,
of which there are already fresh indications. Exchequer
Bills remain steady at 235. to 255. prem.
The Foreign Market is still neglected, but Shares com-
mand a fair proportion of the public favour. Prices
be said to be generally better than was believed would be
the case so immediately on the eve of the settlement, et*
pecially as there bad, until to-day, been loss facility is
obtaining money.

SUN.—There was an advanee in Consols this after-
noon after the final liquidation of the balances on the May
account, of about per cent., the quotation for present
transfer having touched 93, and for time 93k. At the '
dose of business there was, hosyever, a slight reaction,
the former being marked 93,i and the latter 931 ;
Exchequer Bills were 25 to 24 premium, and India.
Bonds lss to 4s. premium ; the New Three and-a-half
per Cents advanced to 101-'l.
No improvement occurred in the value of the Fo-
reign Securities, nor was business very animated.
Spanish Active Bonds realized 281 h, and Portuguese
New Five per Cents. 3.5 f g ; Mexican continued at 32
to 32i, and Colombian advanced to 26i ; Brazil
Bonds touched 76f. The Funds at Amsterdam closed
a shade lower on Monday evening, owing to a disposi•
tion manifested to effect sales. The Two-and-a-Half
'per Cents were this afternoon at .54i, and the 'Five
per Cents at 101 - ;. Belgian Bonds improved to 103 i.
Business in the Railway Shares was not brisk, bait
prices improved a shade. The Brighton were done
at 41, the Birmingham and Derby at 13. and the
Northern anti Eastern at 8 discount ; Birmingham
Shares were 87, (darter 224 ; Great Western 28; and
North Midland 2 premium.
The following extracts from communications rcee;.ved
by the last arrival from America, show that there is
still a " speck of war in the North-East :"-...
"'the anaonneement from a Maine journal, which is
likely to ho correctly informed (being the State paper),
that a body of United States Regulars had entered, or
were about to enter, the disputed territory, created some
little sensation here yesterday. It will bo observed that
this movement is precisely the counterpart of that of fhe
British Government, in increasing its force in the Mada-
waska district; and a further object may be, to guard
against those collisions which are liable to occur lartweerl_
irregular troops coming suddenly in contact, and the
consequences of which might be deplorable. Regular
troops now occupy the advanced posts, and they are corn.
mended by an officer (Col. Pierce) every way qualified for
his responsible trust. While England adhered strictly to
the Memorandum jointly signed by Mr. Forsyth and the
British Minister, so did we ; and in moving a detachment
of regulars a little within the disputed territory, we are
only following the example of our competitor. But the
posts to be occupied by our troops, viz. Fort Fairfield, and
a place on Fish River, arc a long way this side of the St.
John ; and are as little likely to be molested by the British
troops, as the British force in the Madawaska district,
north of the St, John, is to be molested by us. These
miniature " armies of observation" will doubtless look
hard at the wilderness lying between them, and continue
to look, until the dispute is adjusted by the Supreme Go-
vernments, as we trust it soon will be."

" Colonel Worth's Regiment of Infantry (the Bth), now
on their way to the Winnebago country, will arrive in this
city to-morrow afternoon in the cars from Niagara Fans,
This corps is 600 strong, and will proceed forthwith to
their place of destination, by the steam-boats Buffalo and
Cleveland, which have been chartered expressly for that
purpose. 1,000 barrels of provisions, consisting of flour.
park, beef, beans, biscuit, &c., wore purchased hero, and
placed on board this morning, by the Commissary."

Sir Gilbert Heatlicote paired off against Mr.
Villiers' motion with Mr. Rumbold.

Hells, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street.
Piccadiily.—Gentlemen, having been deaf for many tears, I
was induced from recenamendation to try your Invisible Voice
Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that
they enable me to bear persons in company and at a place of
worship most distinctly; and ie eormquenee of the great ad-
vantage which I have derived, I have recommended many
persons to you, and I am happy to state that their report is
similar to mine, most favourable. The Spectacles and Hand-
glass which you have sent me are very excellent, and suit my
sight precisely, and surpass anvthin,g, of the kind I have ever
tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that although
I have passed my tldth year, the 22d of May last; yet they ea
able rre to read, &c., 1 y candle-light with the greatest sue
and comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you Illy best
thanks, and remain your most obedient servant, Halter

A MONSTER TROUT.--i held on the line in
the utmost anxiety—l brought it to the surface—it was, in-.
deed, one of the lake monsters, of which we had been so la-
boriously in pursuit—ha I had no power to govern him—for
awhile darting a-head—then towards the stern—now leaping
from the water, and falling with an appal,ng splash—at length.
he made one dart under the boat—one of the hooks caught, the
line broke, and our hope was annihilst d. Freed from restraint,
we raw him once more dash from the surface, and then dis-
appear for aver.—Sportsman in Ireland. .
