CORN LAWS.

To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland ill Parliament assembled. The

Humble Petition of the undersigned Framework Knitters
Sheweth—That your petitioners deeply feel the baneful
effects of. the Corn and Provision Laws, and suffer the most
severe privations from their operation. In the years 1835 and
1836, when the prices of provisions were low, your petitioners
had full employment and remunerative wages ; but as the price
of provisions advanced the trade of your petitioners decayed,
and at the present time many are only partially employed, and
others are entirely out of work.
Your petitioners believe that this disastrous state of trade
is principally owing to the unnatural 1 iws which prevent the
exchange of manufactured goods of this kingdom, for the su-
perabundant produce of other countries; and unless these un-
just and oppressive laws are repealed, and an extended con-
sumption of British manufactures be secured, the condition of
your petitioners will soon be one of hopeless and deplorable
destitution. And your petitioners beg to urge upon the con-
sideration of your Honourable House the important fact, that
a curtailment of the foreign trade must necessarily throw out
of employ a number of artizans, and thus reduce the con-
sumption of food and manufactured goods in the home market.
Your petitioners claim riot for themselves any advantage, they
would not most cheerfully accord to others, but, they seek only
in the land of their birth, the just and natural right, to peace-
fully pursue their useful and lawful trade, and to exchange the
results of their toil in the most advantageous markets ; and
your petitiouers humbly submit, that any interference with this
first right of nature by human laws, is impolitic, cruel, and in-
human ; the injustice of such interference is increased by the
provision of the altered Poor-law, which compels your petitioners
to depend upon their own exertions, while the Corn and Pro-
vision-laws prevent them from exchanging their labour in the
general markets of the world, and thus greatly diminishes their
means of employment.
Your petitioners do therefore most earnestly pray, that you
will give tbese grievances an early consideration, and repeal and
abolish the Corn and Provision-laws, and make suoh reductions
in the differential duties upon Colonial produce as will destroy
all monopolies therein.
And your petitioners will ever pray.

The following petition for a. reduction and revision of the
duties upon sugar, coffee, &c., and fur a -
REPEAL OF THE BREAD TAX, _ _

Is now offered for signature to the friends of free trade, and the
best interests of the poor.
To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled.
The petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the county
of Derby,
Humbly showeth,—That your petitioners have witnessed
with the deepest sorrow, the sufferings and privations of the
working classes, arising from the decay of trade, low wages,
want of work, and the dearness of food; and they firmly be-
lieve that this distressing state of the industrious classes is
mainly owing to the unjust laws which prevent or restrain the
exchange of our manufactures for the corn and provision of
other countries ! And unless these laws are repealed, your
petitioners believe that the decay of trade will further progress
until a great portion of the labouring classes and artisans will
become a burthen upon the land ; therefore, your petitioners
earnestly implore you Honourable House to reduce and revise
the duties upon foreign produce, and to repeal all laws that pre-
vent or restrain the free importation of foreign corn and other
articles of human food.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

THE HOMILY ON PAY AND FEED, DATED
LEsAcA, 1813.—As I have above stated to your Lord-
ship, the Spanish troops do not want discipline, if by
discipline is meant instruction, so much as they
do a system of order ; which can be founded
only on regular pay and food, and good care and
clothing. These British officers could not give
them ; and, notwithstanding that the Portuguese
are now the fighting-cocks of the army, I believe we
owe their merits more to the care we have taken of
their pockets and bellies, than to the instruction
we have given them. In the end of last cam-
paign they behaved in many instances ex-
ceedingly ill, because they were in extreme misery, the
Portuguese Government baying neglected to pay them.
I have forced the Portuguese Government to make ar-
rangements to pay them regularly this year ; and every-
body knows how they behave. Our own troeps always
fight ; but the influence of regular pay is seriously felt
on their conduct, their health, and their efficiency ; and
as for the French troops, it is notorious that they will do
nothing unless regularly paid and fed.— Wellington's
Despatches.
A SUFFICIENT REASON.—A pawnbroker's
assistant being asked the . other day in the Borough
Court how it was that she should be able to swear so
confidently to the identity of a pair of trousers then
before her, answered that she had received them in
pledge every week since they were new ! The trousers
had been in wearing a considerable time, and the evi-
dence of the witness ,was accepted as satisfactory.—Bo/-
1 ton Free Press,

ADVERTISER.—At last Sir Robert Peel has declared
himself. Following the Duke of Wellington's example in the
memorable declaration of 1t.,30, that Reform in Parliament was
not needed, he has taken another false step, and declared for
the Corn-laws as at present constituted. We need not say that
the issue will be the same. We shall not waste any words
upon his cunning speech addressed to his supporters, and
calculated only for the meridian of Parliament. The coun-
try will decide. The merchants and the artisans, whose
cause he has so madly repudihted, must pronounce on
the matter. In regard to the sugar duties, he threw over en-
tirely the philanthropists, and stated the question to be one of
mere prudence, which another year might not call for. The
timber duties he would say nothing about. In short, he has
declared himself for monopo.y against free trade. The
cowardice that compelled him but lately to obey the call of his
party to lead on the Stanley tactics has enslaved him.
He has forfeited any claim which he ever had of holding
even the seals between the friends and foes of progress—and
has thrown himself entirely into the hands of the party of his
Grace the Duke of Buckingham and the Sir Edward tinatch-
bull ; and discarded the commercial interests, and the in-
dustrious working classes. It is now for the Government to
dissolve the Parliament ; and then comes the task of the Peo-
ple to meet the appeal ; but, in the mean time, to prevent
accidents, the country should omit no manner of way
of expressing its sentiments on the matter. Shall we have the
Corn-laws or not? Shall trade be stopped? Shall Ireland be
trusted to the tender mercies of the Tories? Shall monopoly
rule the land? Shall the poor starve for the benefit of the
few? Shall the labouring man be deprived of a fair remune-
ration of his labour to put money into the hands of the wealthy?
This is the question at issue, and the Tories have derided the
matter in their favour by a majority of thirty-six ! With Ire-
land upon their back, they will now travel at a rail-road pace.
CHRONICLE.—The discussion on the sugar branch of
the Budget has terminated. On a division the numbers were
317 to 281 in favour of Lord Sandon's resolution. Now that
the debate is over, we may conscientiously say, that a
more degrading exhibition than that of the monopolists,
from fist to last, never was made to an injured and insulted
people. The argument has been all on one side. The pre-
text of humanity was soon torn from the monopolists ;
and, indeed, after tile signal. failure experienced by them
at Exeter Hall, on Friday last, it was obvious that
they had abandoned all hope of deceiving the peo-
ple. When the division was announced, Lord John Russell
announced, to the no small mortification of the monopolists,
that he would give the House another opportunity of expressing
its opinion on the question of the Corn-laws, and that if the
House did not respond to what the interests of the country de
manded, he should be justified in appealing to the country.
he Noble Lord stated that he considered what had lately
taken place at single elections no test whatever of the sense of
the nation. The monopolists were conscious that the Noble
Lord here uttered only the language of truth, and the an-
nouncement of an appeal to the country struck them with
dismay. Sir Robert Peel was evidently borne down
by the consciousness of his bad cause. His speech
was far from being one of his happiest efforts. It
was characterised by the reserve and evasion observed
by every speaker on the same side of the question. Lord John
Russell spoke only a short while in reply. Lord Palmerston's
admirable speech told amazingly on the House. It pursued
the monopolists through their various doublings, and lashed
them most unmercifully. The arguments were relieved, from
tine to time, by a happy vein of peasantry. We shall recur to
this most powerful and admirable speech. For the result of
the division the country were prepared, and Ministers were of
course equally prepared for it; and the bold language of Lord
John Russell tells the people that the question is now in their
hands. We have no doubt that the people will do their duty.
They understand the question ; it is one which no sophistry
can perplex.
TIM ES.—The divi-ion has come at last—the long-pros
tracted struggle is ended, and the House of Commons has
ratified the expectations of the country by a majority of 36
votes. The most vivacious of animals has only nine lives, ana
the most leech-like of Administrations could not adjourn the
moment of its downfall for more than nine nights together.
What is to follow ? Resignation or dissolution ? This is now
the all-absorbing question ; and the only clue which any man
can have to the answer is to be found in a conside-
ration of the interest which Ministers may have in
the one course, rather than the other. No scruples
of patriotism,—no thoughts of the public good—no appre-
hensions of mischief to the country from the tumult of a fire-
brand agitation, would hinder them from following any course
which might seem the most likely to secure to Lord Alel-
bourne his " working majority" of Palace-dinners, and
to Mr. O'Connell his measuring-cast majority in the House
of Commons. Nevertheless, we think their resignation is a
far from impossible event. A dissolution would serve only to
expose in a stronger light than ever their miserable weakness
and hopeless unpopularity. It is very well to talk of " easses,"
in opposition to " the great bulk of the people ;" but the
people consist of classes ; and we should be glad to know
where is the class (unless it be the master manufacturer) to
which the Whig Ministers can think of looking for support?
The landed interest, which commands all the counties, and_
which has hitherto returned them some few Members, is now
universally exasperated against them ; and the only possible ef-
fect, in that direction, of a dissolution upon the Corn-law ques-
tion, would be to convert reluctant opponents, like Lord Vi'ors-
ley, Mr. Handley, Mr. Heatheote, Mr. Hodges, Mr. Cayley,
&c., into bitter and irreconcileable enemies. Nor will the in-
fluence of the clergy of the Church of England be smaller, or
less decidedly thrown into the Conservative scale upon this than
on former occasions. All these things considered, we feel
pretty sure that the Whip will not venture to dissolve.

POST.—THE REJECTION OF THE MINISTERIAL BUD-
GET.—The House of Commons, after a debate of eight nights,
has at length decided the character and fate of the Adminis-
tration. The House adjourned without any farther division;
and also (which may excite some surprise) without any decla-
ration on the part of Ministers that, after a vote of the House
of Commons unequivocally pronouncing them unworthy of the
onfidence of Parliament, they look upon themselves as out.
It would appear that Ministers mean to take some hours, at
least, to determine whether they are out or in; although the
country will pronounce with joyful alacrity, and without a
moment's hesitation, that Ministers, unless they are traitors
to the constitution of England, must already have ceased, in
effect, to be the official servants and advisers of the Crown.
HERALD. —At length the nine days' wonder is
solved. The nine days' throe of the House of Commons has
produced just such a progeny as it was devoutly to be prayed,
by every lover of his country, might incontestibly bespeak its
ominous paternity. Themes-alliance of a weak Government with
a formidable faction—of the sworn supporters of the Esta-
blished Church with its most inveterate and indefatigable
enemies— of the Cabinet of a powerful imperial Sovereign
with the cabal of a crafty political adventurer—has
been a productive union indeed ! A defeat—the most
blank and hopeless that could present itself to the
anxious contemplation of Ministerial solicitude, is all
that greets the long expecting and surely abashed parent! A
monster with 36 blemishes about it— visible, tangible, immovable
—is the sole offspring of that union of Radical Whiggery and
repeal liberality, on which O'Connell has so often and so pa-
thetically invoked the blessings of his own church, and of the
Irish connection—of which Lord Morpeth, following in his il-
lustrious footsteps, so recently vindicated the superior chastity !
In other words, gentle reader, at three o'clock this morning,
Lord Sandon's motion was carried by 317 ayes, against 2t51
noes ; a majority of 36.
GLOBE.—We have not been disappointed in Sir Ro-
bert Peel's speech. It contains all that is plausible for
his party, and especially for himself. " L'etta c'est moi,"
said Louis the Great. Toryism—working Toryism—
presentable Toryism—(we do not mean at Court parti-
cularly) "c'est moi," says Sir Robert Peel. The Right
Hon. Baronet's speech then is satisfactory. doubtless to him-
self, and to those who find satisfaction in his self-attesta-
tions of statesmanship. But what does it contain that tends
at all to the satisfaction of the country ? What general views
does it give of commercial and financial policy ? The Right
Hon. Bart. might be justified in refusing details as to what
he would do, if he stood in position of Minister. Nobody
asked him for those ; it would be a quite uncalled-for
humiliation in Ministers to go fishing for a :budget
from Opposition. The Opposition are not yet the
Ministry ; but if its leaders intend to become so, it
is fair enough to ask them what are the principles they
oppose to the present. In some respects Sir . Robert
Peel has answered this question •, though only ne-
gatively. He has told us several things which a Tory
Ministry will not do for us. It will not provide securi-
ties for a sufficient supply of tropical products, and the
consequent advantage to the revenue, and the consumer.
It will not substitute a fixed duty for a sliding-scale
of duties on corn. It will not do anything about
timber, till Sir B. Peel is better acquainted with the
political motives for, or against, a change in the Canadas.
Sir Robert Peel may have shown satisfactorily
that all this negative policy was a model of consistency
in himself and his party. He may exclaim magnani-
mously, " Should he be called to office, not for one mo-
ment could he contemplate following the example of the
present Government in supporting a proposal this year
which last year they opposed." We think we can recol-
lect an instance in which the Right Honourable Baronet
contrived to propose what he had resisted the year before
—resisted, not on temporary grounds, not in peculiar
circumstances—but on high principles, all which he was
constrained to pocket up the year after. But the Right
Honourable Baronet has not told us how many years of
consistency he means to preserve about sugar duties, to
wipe out the stain of emancipation. It is well known
that frail fair ones, who are conscious of some former
faux paax,' are often apt to assume a tenfold mantle of
prudery.

STANDARD.—Lord John Russell, after the procla-
mation of his disgrace, hastened to proclaim that he will
try another cast, and that the Corn-law proposition is to
be debated, for, we suppose, nine nights more, or, if his
Lordship pursue his new plan of making all his adhe-
rents speak as well as vote, for three times nine nights ;
his 281 will give him 10 a night 'for a month, and we
Shall not be surprised to see the manoeuvre repeated. In
this way the Session may be got over, however it shall
fare with the public and private business before Parlia-
ment, and six months more of office will be secured,
with the incidental chances of turning the Anti-Corn-
law sedition to some account. We were told, last
week that
,Lord Melbourne had given a promise to a
High Personage not to resign except upon compulsion.
We expressed a doubt of the truth of the story, but
we find that our doubt was without just I,Trounds,
altlyinigh we had been otherwise mistaken. Lord
Melbourne has given the promise agcribed to him—
to a High Personage, indeed, in relation to h is Lord-
ship—but not to the High Personage which mlbouost, in
their simplicity, might suppose. Lord Melbourne
has given this promise, but not to the
aniel O'Connell
. Queen : his
Lordship has given it to Mr. D,
a much more important patron to him and
his colleages than her Majesty has ever been. On
Saturday it was generally understood that the Cabinet
had resolved to resign, upon the foreseen defeat on Lord
Sendon's resolution, without dissolving the Parliament,
but Tuesday, it is said, brought ~the ",qrandis et verbosa
epistola," of the great mendicauti- reminding Lord Mel-
bourne of his promise not to resign without dissolving,
and threatening, in case that promise should be violated,
some revelations more useful to the public than ao-reeabie
to her Majesty's outgoing advisers; or profitable to the
wbiotolcaj party. he. serpent has the Ministers

within his folds, and, therefore, their odd and otherwi,w
Inexplicable contortions must not excite surprise.
COURIER.—At length the interminable debate is
brought to a close, and we may safely say of the defunct,
that if the House be not surfeited with sugar, the country
is. Nevertheless, wearied as we have been, we are bound
to confess that there were speeches last night which in some
sori repay ii for the unwilling tolerance of the leaden
dulness of most of those by which preceded. We can even
be mercifully disposed towards the intolerable inflic-
dons of that most incorrigible of all egotistical bores, Mr,
and that most shrillywdiiiseaf

splitting screamers, Nr, f

which Sir Robert Peel enriched, refreshed, lightened,
and illustrated questions and principles, which, in the
hands of all his opponents, had been degraded into vapid
common-places, and used up only in the shape of stale
stage trickery ad captandunt vulql.ts. Renowned orator,
philosopher, and statesman as he is, and has long hew
universally a,eknowledged, the Right Honourable Baronet,

this occasion to have outdone his " form er fame."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NI3WB.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

TIMES—The premium on gold at Paris is 9i per millet
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101,4 d. per ounce
for standird gold, gives an exchange of 25. 38, and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25. 40, it follows
that gold is 0.08 per cent. dearer in London than in Pans.
By advices from Ilamburgh the price of gold is 431. i per
mark, which, at the English mint price of 31. 17. 10%d. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. Bh, and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 8, it
follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in
London.

The course of exchange at New York on London is 1071
per cent., and the par of exchange between England awl
America being 109 2.3-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 1.83 per cent. against England. But the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the
interest must be deducted from the above difference.

The feature in the Consul-market to-day-;;;The general
scarcity of money, occasioned by some ►arge deliveries of
stock, and the•withdrawing by the discount houses of capital
required for employment out of doors ; notwithstanding this,
and although very little business has been trancacted, it, firm-
ne: s was uninterrupted, and it closed if an thing rather better
than yesterday.
By the usual official return published by the Customs, the
exports of the precious metals from the port of London to fo-
re gn and colonial parts for the week ending the 13th inst., was
as under : Ounces.

CHRONICLE.—There has been a renewed pressure for
money to-day, and we have considerably less talk of a resig-
nation of Ministers. Business, however, continues extremely
limited, and the anxiety unabated for the result of the pending
debate, which entirely absorbs the attention of speculators.
The City folks have been puzzled to-day with the unex-
pected stoppage of the eloquence of the Tories in the. House
of Commons upon the abominations of Brazil sugar, and their
almost complete desertion of the market last night to their
antagonists. It is the general wi-h of the friends of free-
trade that the debate may not end abruptly, for every hour
the good cause makes friends even in this temple of
Mammon, where gold is frequently the test of merit,
and where the class interests rule with preponderating
force. Give the citizens fair time to understand the ques-
tion thoroughly, and Sir Matthew Wood will find that the cry
of " down with all monopolies " is not confined to particular
ward meetings, but that ►t will soon tingle in the ears of my
Lord Mayor, and penetrate the leather-headed vanity even of a
Sir Peter Laurie. The practical goal sense of the citizens of
London will soon be more than an over-match for their foes,
and enable them to detect the insidious means by which their
known aversion to slavery has been used to cheat them out of
the measures of relief proposed in the Budget. We showed the
other day, by arithmetical analysis, that the hard working people
of England consumed 47 per cent. more sugar in 1531 than they
could buy in 18.10 ; that instead of every 20 11-lOOlba. which
fell to their share in 1831 they could only consume 13 2-3ds
lbs. in 1840, and that if the consumption of the last four years
had been as great in proportion to the population as it was ten
years ago, the revenue would have been so much increased,
that, instead of a deticitncy of 4,107,7501., we should have had
a surplus of 1,831,1031., making a difference of 5,988,853/.
The visions of future supply conjured up by the imagination of
Sandon, Hogg, and Co., farm but a pour reply to these incon-
testable facts of past deficiency. It has been, besides, proved
bernitl all cavil by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that fo-
reign sugar eannot come into competition with British plan-
tation sugar until the market price is beyond 605., so that if
the promised additional supply should be received from our
own colonies, their free-labour sugar will always command
the British market.
