It appears from a circular which has been issued by
Mr. Matthew Brown, the agent of Sir James Graham,
that the tenants of the Right Hon. Baronet have deemed
themselves justified in requesting a reduction of their
rents. With this view they signed a petition (notifying
their object), which was presented to Sir James, and to
which they individually received the following reply:—
" Crofthead, July 1, 1851.
" Sir,—ln reply to the petition for a reduction of rent,
signed by you, and presented by me to Sir James, I am
instructed to inform you that, under existing circum-
stances, Sir James is not prepared to accede to your
request.
" At the same time, I am desired to state that you are
at liberty to surrender your present agreement for the
farm of --, on giving notice to me here on or
before the 21st current. It Sir James Graham should
afterwards be willing to propose a new agreement, the
terms thereof will he notified to you within a reason-
able time.

" Should you not surrender your present egreement
by the time specified, Sir .hmes will then conclude that
you are willirg to hold your farm under the terms of
the existing contract, —I am, yours faithfully,
" To 9, "

THE BARON DE BODE'S CASE.
Lord LYNDaURST presented a petition complain-
ing of the delay which had taken place in the Baron de
Bode's case.
The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that the
Baron de Bode's case had been postponed to obtain the
attendance of the judge-s.
Lord LYNDHURST was proceeding to enter into the
facts of the case, when
Lord CAMPBELL rose to order. He objected to the
merits of thti case being entered on on the presentation
of a petition. The Learned Judges had hitherto been
unable to attend in consequence of their duties calling
them elsewhere.
Lord BROUGHAM had always understood that the
first duty of the Judges was to attend their Lordships.
Lord CAMPtiELL said that they had not been sum-
moned; but be understood they were to be summoned
for Monday next.

- MR. ROBERT OWEN.
Lord BROULI HA h4d c, petition to present from a
very celebrated men and a great public benefactor,
he meant Mr. Robert Oman. That gentleman held
pecult4r optiii.-ins, but he teas a great public bene•
factor, fur he was the founder of infant schools.
His petition was for facilities for bringing for-
ward his ichemr, for the improvement of society,
and he thought that the petitioner ehoniri be afforded an
opportileity ef app-ai leg b, fore a Set. ct Committee of
their L House. The late illustrious Duke of
Kent, Ilse feher of her Niaj-sty, had been a patron of
Mr. ()Nee% plan, and a mta more r•-ligiotri or more at-
tateled to the Cnurch that, hi. late Ro, al flightless the
Duke ut Knt it would br, ottfieult to find. tit* all mer,
Mr. et ..b.-rt. Owen was tee most mo 1. rate, the most tole-
rant, and the moat atesible to reas n; and he, therefore,
hot e t teen. Letaiships would give a it 31)ent'Ul beating to
hits ee:ton. He moved that the petition be read by the
clerk at the table.
The elation was agr.ed to; and the petition, which
was of cmisiderable leneth. was read accordingly.
The Mirvis of LANSDOWNE thought it would he
impossible chat a Select Committee, appointed at this
late period of the session, could enter satisfactorily upon
so large a subject.
S NA.VIGATION TO AUSTRALIA.
Lord LYT [ELTON rose to ask the Noble Earl op-
posite whether it was the intention of the Government to
carry out the recomtneitelations of the Committee of the
other House for ea:abashing steam communication with
Aus'ffia?
KEY (who was at times inaudible from the buzz
of conversa:ion pyevaiiing in the House) was understood
to say that the CrThvetnnient were inclined to adopt the
plan of wean' communication with Australia via the
Cape of Gool Hope.
ADULTERATION OF COFFEE.
Lord WHAIiNCLIFFE presented a petition com-
plaining of the adu:tiration of coffee; and iu presenting
it he would wish to direct the attention of their Lord-
ships to the import:!..nt subject of the adulteration of
coffee by the ealunix`ure of chicory and other matters.
The Noble Lerd then proceeded to detail the pro-
vhions of the various Acts of Parliament which had
at different times been passed en this subject up
ti the year
e
lean, when a Treasury Order was issued,
permitting
Le adulteration of coffee with chicory.
- From that time

the substitution of chin,
