cede to the n:otion of the Right Ho n. Gentleman (Mr.
Goulburn), whom he did not now see in his pla^e, to refer
the Inland Warehuusi:l Bill to, a Select Committee.

Bill to consolidate the laws relating- to Sewers in England
and Wales.—Agreed to.
Mr. PUSE Y moved for leave to bring in a Bill to en-

PENSIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.

Colonel SIBTHORP moved for appointments, to-
gether with the several salaries rind allowances granted to
or received by each, from the 22d day of November, 1830,
to the present period.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had
no ( bjection to the return if the year 1820 was inserted
for 1830 That would be only fair play.
Colonel SIBTHORP would leave the Right Hon.
Gentleman to do as he pleased; but if any objection was
made to his motion he would pay the expense out of his
own pocket.

" Let the galled jade wince, his whiners were unwrung."
—( Laughter. )
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made
an observation which was inaudible in the gallery; after
which

Colonel S IBT HORP (as we understood) gave notice
that he should bring hi, motion forward on some future
occasion.

The House then adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock

THE BLUDGEON. ARGUMENT

FOR THE CORN-LAWS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
An extraordinary scene occurred at the Bolton Board
of Guardians on Friday last, which, coupled with Mr.
Paulton's treatment by the landowners of Worksop,
illustrates the total want of argument on the part of the
bread tax advocates, whin h leaves them no resource but
to stifle discussion. Mr. Thomasson, one of the
Guardians, had entered a motion on the' books, the
week before, to the effect that the Board do petition
the Legislature for a total repeal of the existing Corn
and Provision Laws," and, at the meeting in question,
rose, in pursuance of his notice-, to bring the matter be-
fore the Board, when Mr. Weston, a Tory, amid cries
of " Order" from all parts of the room, attempted to
interrupt him, insisting that the Board had no right to
entertain any question of this nature. The Chairman
also interfered on the same side, and said he should not
sit to listen to any such remarks, as it was not a subject
within their province. On Mr. Thomasson speaking
to enforce his views, the Chairman proceeded to be-
labour the table with his walking stick, thus altogether
drowning the speaker Mr. Thomasson's voice. The
Mayor of Bolton endeavoured in vain to obtain a
hearing for the mover, who, finding it impossible, con-
tented himself with simply reading the petition, and
concluded by moving its adoption and presentation.
Mr. Bell seconded him. The Chairman refused to put
the motion, when the sense of the meeting was taken
by Mr. Nuttall, there appearing for it eleven, and
against it six ; majority for the petition, five ; the Tory
Guardians to a man voting against it. The Chairman
refused to sign the petition ; and, after another stormy
discussion, it was decided by the same majority that
Mr. John Ashworth, the Vice-Chairman, who was
present, and is a staunch repealer, should sign it on
behalf of the Board.

The above proceedings have given a strong impulse
to the cause of repeal ; and there wilt shortly be nume-
rous petitions poured into the House of Commons from
Bolton and neighbourhood in favour of total repeal.
Bolton suffers more than many other places from these
laws, as its staple manufactures are seven-eighths of
them exported.
