LONbON:
TUESDAY, APRIL 7, isio.

The Lords listened last night, with considerable
patience and some quiet smiles, to two titades Of two
renowned Marquiseshe of WESTMEATH and he of
LoNDONDERRY, apropos, of presenting petitions against
the Irish Corporation Bill. The latter Noble Marquis
allowed himself a greater latitude than usual, and was
more than usually eloquent against tho Ministers.
Thoughts that breathe, and words that Otcept
they may blister himself, urn not the gifts of the Noble
Marquis ; and, as no special notice was taken of his
harangue, it probably did not scorch his opponent.
Party processions was the subject of a brief explana-
tion by the Marquis of NORMANDY, when both he and
the Earl of Wm/mow spoke highly in favour of Father
MATTHEW,

A considerable number of petitions was pretentedi
including one fr0m14r...51'06.3344,r,iii0. lane ffero Mr./
HOWARD,, to be hear4l by GotinetVat the bar against
the Printed Papers
The LORD CHAN!SELLOR-, ina temperate speech,
calculated to 'remove altobjectiOntv abet win' their
stgporti mound-,l secondreading,:of• that
Bill; the provision's of whiehlte explained. He buipha.
:tically laid the blaMe ItitilaW, Which the
COMmons have not sought to amend.

Lord DENMAN recommended the Bill to their Lord-
ships as the best means of putting an end to the dip
pute, but took the opportunity of giving his Oven history
of it. The Noble Lord showed that he was actuated
in his decision by something which took place out of his
Court, and beyond the record he had to try, namely,
certain resolutions passed by the House of Commons,
on which, be they good or bad, Lord DENMAN was
not called on to sit in judgment, still less was he called
on to allow them to influence a decision of the Court.
It might be unseemly and improper in the Commons to
pass resolutions on the eve of a trial ; it was the busi-
ness of the Court to take no notice of them whatever. We
certainly had no suspicion till we beard Lord DENMAN'S
speech, that he had set out on the design of snubbing,
checking, and humbling the House of Commons. The
ATTORNEY-GENERAL we can conceive, as Lord DEN-
MAN says, was wrong. Lawyers have too many quib-
bles, and crotchets, and fictions—they so invariably go
from the straight-forward, plain, and open path of
truth, that they must be wrong, and both Lord DEN-
MAN and Mr. ATTORNEY were in the same box.
Lord DENMAN'S speech was not a pouring of oil on
the troubled waters, and the cheers of the Tory Lords
must, for once in his life, have afforded him a strange
gratification. After a long discussion on the vexed
question of privilege, the Noble Lord said there were
parts of the Bill, though he approved of it in principle, to
which he could not assent. He thought an officer of either
House of Parliament going into Court, and putting an
end to an action, was casting an undeserved slur on the
Judges. He objected to that part of the Bill which goes to
put an end to Mr. HOWARD'S actions against the servants
of the House of Commons, and he wished the Bill to
give protection to any individual publishing Reports '5l
d
othbes_epr:oincge,edtihnagts of the two Houses. The Noble Lord
concluded a speech, animated by personal feelings, by
gmen"ttshewirerleegtioslabteionintwerofeurleddewomithe
byto
sup-
posed little, if ju.
posed privileges, or if the law could not be carried into
execution by fearless and independent Judges."
Lord MELBOURNE supported the Bill, and begged
to remind their Lordships, that Judges were not
infal-
lible, though he admitted a judgment was a delicate
thing to meddle with.
The Duke of WELLINGTON agreed that the present
state of things should be put an end to, and
deplored the resolution of the Commons of 1835.
He did not approve of Lord DENMAN'S suggestion,
because it would alter the whole law of libel.
The Bill was read a second time, and after some
conversation as to when Lord LYNDHURST might be
able to attend, and as to the necessity of forwarding
the Bill, it was ordered to be committed this day, when
it will probably Ise postponed till Lord LYNDHURST
be able to attend. The world waits on Lord LYND-
HURST. At half-past nine their Lordships adjourned.
In the Commons many petitions were presented, as
usual.
Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that on an early day after
the recess he would submit a motion to the House on
the Corn-laws.
At the request of Sir J. GRAHAM, Sir W. MOLES-
WORTH, with the readiness of a friend to the Tories,
resigned the precedence for a motion on emigreion,
which belonged to him to-day, to enable Sir JAMES t 9
bring forward his motion against the Ministers. Sir
WILLIAM implies thereby that his own motion is
unimportant, and he besought from the Tories a

patient hearing after Easter, as a reward for his ready
ncqiiiereentc 'fast night in their wishes.
On Wednesday %seek Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to
move the adjournment for a fortnight.
Mr. EMERSON TENSEST, after the holidays, is to
call attention to the delay in settling the claims on
the Brazil Government, arising from the revolution of
Pan;
Lord Jottz RUSSELL gave a further explanation on
the subject of the San Sulpice Monastery at Montreal,
rind said. he knew not why the ordinance relating
theref9 065 to be censured, unless it were that Catholics

Court

One Of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S triumphs on Firidny
evening was caused by an appeal to the Unncd
States, which had been involved, he said, in a m

notary difficulty like ouraelveF, not caused by their
Corn-laws ; and, therefore, our monetary difficulties
might not be caused by our Corn-laws. It is not
clear, however, that the monetary difficulties of the
United States were not in part superinduced by our
Corn-aN. It was known here in the autumn of 1838
that we should require corn from abroad, rihich
made the Bank of England cautious ; and as it ap-
plied the screw, the merchants who had given credit.

0 the Americans were obliged to recal-or . narrow
,heir advances, and so increased the difficulties of

the money market in America.
We have, however, sOme very distinct evidence
of the operation of our Corn-laws in embarrassing
the Americans to lay before our readers. The dif-
ficulties experienced by our own merchants and
manufacturers in finding markets compelled them
to force a trade, which to some extent they tried to
do with the Americans, and the result we take from

the Morning Post of Saturday :
In the year 1 839 the excess of imports into the States
over the exports was 39,250,556 dollars, which is lArger
than has occurred in any given year, with the exception of
three, since 1789. This heavy importation could not have
been derived through the ordinary channels if a sudden
accession had not been given to the power of the currency,
for it took place at a time when the United States had
but few goods to offer in exchange for what they imported,
I and their stocks, certificates, &c., were unsaleable in

Europe.
We forced our commodities into the United
States, while we refused to take their corn, and
endeavoured to the utmost of our power, which is

very great, fot vte stand in the relation of a creditor
to the United States, to abstract gold in payment.

To a certain extent we succeeded, till the American

hanks stopped payment, which increased the drain
on our own gold to pay for corn. Our Corn-laws
increased the difficulties of the Americans, and d s-
turbed the usual distribution of the precious
metals in all parts of the civilized world. By
creating a sudden demand for corn, which, as
Mr. GROTE happily explained, there was no re-
gular trade, no organized mercantile means to
supply, except by sending away gold, those laws
deranged the money markets of all the civilized
world, and are partly chargeable with those contem-
poraneous difficulties which Sir R. PEEL imagined
alight be an excuse for them.
In the New York Courier and Inquirer, of
19th Feb of the present year, we find the follow-
ing passage, which, making every allowance for the
exaggeration of a partizan, draws a picture some-
what re.wmbling the condition of the American
agriculturist
The farmer east fealiie atsolettiy trotliing (of the, pro•
duce of the last season, iti etlif4 of Ole mock tbrigratula.
tions of Mr. Van Buren's message on those hetent
harvests which have lavishly recompensed well-directed
industry, and given to it that sure reward which is vaiely
song 4 in visionary speculations.""
I cannot ihercel.l.,'; tJtithitth unite from the
message) " view without peculiar satislactidil, itfr fyi-
dences afforded by the past seasoa of the benefits that.
spring from the steady devotion of the husbandman to
his honourable pursuit. No means of individual comfort
is more certain, and no source of national prosperity is so
sure. Nothing Can dothpetisate a people for a depend- .
ence Upon othefa for thh bread they Sat j and that cheer.'
ful abundance on which the happiness of Zirefy °tit :to
much depends, is to be looked for nowhere with such sure
reliance as in the industry of the agriculturist and in the
bounties of the earth."
Now what is preyed by the state of things existing
throughout the country, and .among the very class thus
referred to in the Executive message ? Our people, during
the past year, have OA been' dependent Upon others for
the bread:they:.have eaten,— They,have .not,riegleted to
cultivate the soil, and. have fartunistelx retiPgd_fram it an
abundant harvest. Besides answering the demand for out
consumption, they have raised a liberal surplus for exporta-
tion. More than a fair proportion of the labour of the
country has been devoted to the pursuits of agriculture;
mid Mtn, ttetofding td the ne* theories, have so over-
traded in the productions of the earth, that mere than three-
fourths of our farming population arc in circumstanceS of
great embarrassment and distress.
But while the American farmers have been
pining for a market for their productions—while
their indebtedness to us was dodipelling them to
export their gold—while, according to the pro-
Corn-law Post, they had no goods wherewith to
pay for their large imports, chiefly from this
cotintrythey had actually a surplus quantity of
corn, and the manufacturers of MatiChester and
Paisley, the makers of the goods with which the
markets of America were inundated, were actually,

tensively, that defoliants do not like to order corn
from a distance, lest the duty, which rnictlit be at
Ist when they gave the order, should be 2gs. before
it reaches the port. The pttsetit CON-lawn is
therefore almost tantamount to a prohibititin lid d
corn trade with America, and is plainly chargeable
with a part of that distress amongst the American
agriculturists of which the New York Paper com-
plains. The bounty of a most gracious Providence,
which, conferring abundance on our neighbours,
might have been a blessing to our suffering and
starving manufacturers, is made, by the operation
of the Devil's laws, a curse to both. The Ameri-
can farmers cannot buy their cloths and hardware—
they are not allowed to buy the American farmers'
flour ; and both experiencing suffering, disappoint-
ment, and distress, become a prey to those angry
feelings which break out into great crimes, and
perhaps can only be soothed by some bloody strife.
At present such angry feelings are obviously
growing up both in the United States and here.
We are far from assorting that had we no Corn-laws
the mad or, foolish spirit of politicians, in either
hemisphere, would never have found the means of
exciting national animosity and national war. But
surely in that contention which seems likely to
arise from a local quarrel, and for local objects,
England would have found many friends and many
guarantees of moderation and forbearance in the
American Government, had the American farmers,
instead of being soured and exasperated by distress,
been smiling and prosperous from having sold their
corn well in England. Surely, too, our own Govern-
ment would be doubly cautious, if it ran the risk of
destroying, for the sake of maintaining a right to a
few acres of forest land in the other hemisphere,
the prosperity of our own manufacturers who with
their produce would buy the corn of the American
farmers. In the want of those mutual kindly feel-
ings knitting together these nations, which the Corn.
laws prevent, in the bitterness and mutual exaspera-
tion of distress, we are not sure that
we do not trace even more injurious effects
than the starvation to which they annually doom a
multitude of nor people. This at least is certain,
that bloody strife is their natural consequence, and
perhaps the best corrective of that superabundance
of population which in both hemispheres they pre-
vent enjoying a happy existence.
The evils which we have adverted to, resulting
from the Corn-laws, hastening on a war—if not
directly involving us in one with the United States
—are Inflicted on us by the landowners, who constitute
the great bulk of the Tory party. That party__
the least worthy, we believe, that ever controlled a
nation's destinies—is to-night, under the auspices
of a great Tory landlord, to make an onslaught on
the Ministers, because they have been unable to
avoid a contention with China, brought on partly,
if not wholly, by demands, that may be called out-
rageous, of the Chinese authorities. The Tory
landlords will weep and .chine over what they .sail
