to 10,1, the stock being small, but there has been only a
limited business transacted. Hyson is little wanted, and
must be quoted rather cheaper. Of Young Hysen the srade
have been tempted to take several parcels in consequence of
rather lower rates being taken. Twaukay has been spar-
ingly dealt ht, and prices are on the decline. Scented Orange
Pekoe has been in much better request at 2s 4d tots 5d fur
fine. Gunpowder oftine quality has been purchased with more

seemed to do, excepting the Noble Duke himself.—(Laugbt Pr.)
The Duke of RICHMOND did not wish the Bill passed at
all.—( Continued laughter.)
Lord CAMPBELL, while the Noble and Learned Lord was
addressing the Noble Duke on the cross benches, rose, and
amid much laughter said, in a " loud whisper," that he
(Lord Campbell) also had acme petitions to present.
Lord BROUGHAM—The petitioners urged that the post-
ponement of the petition was a compromise of justice, and
they therefore prayed for the total and immediate repeal of the
corn-laws. (The pointed manner in which the Noble Lord
addressed the Noble Duke created much laughter.)
The Duke of RICHMOND was not surprised that tho
persons should complain. The Bill was hurried through Par
'lament to avoid the outcry which would be raised against it
throughout the country.
