tress; and to the same elf et from Lanark, New Lanark,
Killth, the inhabitants of Airdrie, and the hand-loom
weavers of Airdrie. The latter stated that the condition
of the hand-loom wearers was of unexampled distress,
arising from causes over which the petitioners bad no
controul.

Mr. JOHN SMITH said the hand-loom weavers were
a class of persons that must excite the sympathy of every
feeling heart, for their case was utterly hopeless of guy
rem edy.
Mr. J. OSWALD concurred in the extent of distress
among the hand•loom weavers.

CHURCH ESTABLISHMENT IN IRELAND.
Mr. GILLON presented several petitions, very nume-
rously signed,persons in

Political Union of the borough of Kilmarnoch, from the
establish-
inhabitants of Hamilton, from the chairman and members of
the Glasgow Political Union, from the inhabitants of
Carron signed by 1,200 persons, and from the inhabitants
of the city of Glasgow signed by 16,000 of the inhabitants
of that place. The Hon. Member stated they had all the
sane object, though their phraseology was different, and
they considered that the alliance between the Church and
State was unscriptural, and injurious to the Church, and
prayed the House to take some means as speedily as pos,i-
hie, to redress the evils complained of.
Mr. ROBT. STEWART trusted that the last petition
which hid been presented would not be considered as
speaking the sense of all the inhabitants from whence that
petition carne.—(Hear, hear.) The Established Church
had rendered many important services to the general
cause of Christianity, and the reform contemplated by
these petitions he should consider the downfall of the
establi,hrnent of the country, which would be one of the
greatest misfortunes that could befal the United Kingdom.
Mr. ROEBUCK presented a petition from the rate-
payers of St. Mary Redeliffe, Bristol, praying for the
amendment of the Select Vestry Act.
OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH.
The Hon. MEMBast. had next to present a petition from
a society established in the city of Bath, for promoting
the better observance of the Lord's Daybraying that the
Bill introduced by Sir A. Agnew might pass into a law.
The whole of the petitioners were respectable persons—
by respectable, he did not mean rich ; but there was one
thing to which he wished particularly to call the attention
of the House, and it showed the manner in which these pet* -
tions were signed. Tile petitions were signed by a great many
persons, who had signed a requisition requesting
him to go down to Bath to attend a meeting on
the Monday, which they knew he could not do un-
less he travelled on the Sabbath day.--(Great laughter,
and hear, hear.) If a man watt deeply impressed with the
necessity of observing the Sabbath-day, he never would
have signed the requisition for him to go down to Bath
on a Sunday. The next petition he had to present
was from Thomas Morris, of Dunfermline, against the
Sabbath Bill ; also a petition from John James Norris, of
the city of Bristol, victualler, praying the House to pass
some measure which would have the more immediate
effect of relieving insolvents.
. _

Gen•. ral PACMER presented a petition from the city of
Bath, signed by upwards of 4,000 persons, for the repeal
of the house and window duties. The lion. Member
trusted the time was not far distant when the House
would think it expedient to relieve the productive classes
of the country from the burdens under which they now
laboured, either by reduction of the expenditure of the:
country, or by placing those burdens upon propel ty,
which alone could and ought to support them.—(Hear.)
Mr. ROEBUCK supported the petition.
Several other petitions were presented, after which the
House adjourned.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We are very dull in the city. We perceive by the mail
this morning, from Paris, that Count !Nalco di Borgo paid
a visit to M. Broglie, and informed him, that as long as
the Pacha of Egypt did not return to his duty, the Rus.
sian troops would remain in Constantinople, and if required
would advance to secure the independence of the Porte.
NI. de Broglie did not say much on the business, but waits
the result of the mission of M. Varennes, as well as an
answer to the propositions made to England. It is stated
that M. Flahaut is to proceed to Vienna on an important
mission.

The French paper Le Temps says, that it is assured
that the French Government will leave Russia to act as
she pleases in the affairs of the East ; and as a proof of
the good disposition towards Russia, it is decided to recall
Admiral Roassin.
A report also prevailed that M. Saint Aulaire has been
despatched from the French Government to that of
Austria, inviting that Cabinet to assemble a congress re-
lAtive to the affairs of the Esst.
