FOREIGN CORN.

Mr. FRYER wished to put two questions to the Noble
Lord opposite—let, Whether it was the intention of Go-
vernment to permit foreign grain, or flour now in bond to
be taken, subject to such rate and proportion of duty as
it should appear the parties were competent to pay, and
as might be obtained from them ? 2dly, Whether it was
intended to admit colonial grain into the home market
under a lower rate of duty than at present demanded, or
any fixed duty at all ?,
Lord ALTHORP could assure the Hon. Gentleman
that neither of these measures were in contemplation.
SUGAR AND PENSION DUTIES BILL.

Mr. TODD objected to any additional protecting duties
being imposed on sugar.
Mr. HUME concurred with the Hon. Member ; but he
wished to know from the Noble Lord (Althorp), whether
the pensions chargeable on the 44 per cent. duties were
referred solely to that source ? The 41 per cent. duties
were defective in amount, and be should like to ascertain
on what authority it was that the deficits were paid out of
the Consolidated Fund? He was not aware of the ex-
istence of any Act of Parliament sanctioning it.
Lord ALTHORP said the 44 per cent. duties bad been
transferred by the Crown to the public service, and were
naturally transferred subject to all the charges to which
they were then liable. As to the second question, he
could not at that moment answer it ; but he believed that
the deficiencies had not been made good out of any other
fund.

The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be
received to-morrow.

Mr. LITTLETON presented several petitions against
the Beer Act, and for the better observance of the Sabbath.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and
the House adjourned at half-past eleven.

The KING will give a grand State dinner to
the Knights of the Garter, on St. George's day, in the
same style of magnificence as that given by his MAJEm
last season.

The dissolution of Earl DUDLEY took place

moved from the sequestered villa which he occupied in the
neighbourhood of Norwood. The Noble Earl's mother,
and the eldest son of the Rev. HUMBLE WARD (now Lord
WARD of Birmingham) we:e the constant attendants on
the Noble invalid during his last illness. The extensive
estates of the Noble Earl are situated chiefly in the counties
of Stafford and Worcester.

A new Play, founded on the interesting
story of the Bastile, written by Mr. FRANK MILLS, and
which has been accepted by the lessee of Covent-garden,
will, we understand embrace all the popular talent of the
theatre in its representation. Some splendid scenery,
painted by GRIEVE, is in preparation for this drama,
which will be produced immediately after Easter.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE LATE
EARL FITZWILLIAM.—A public meeting of the inhabi-
tants of Sheffield was held at the Town Hall, on Wednes-
day last, for the purpose of considering the best means of
testifying the gratitude of the people of Sheffield to the
memory of the late Earl FITZWILLIAM. It was resolved
that the contemplated mark of respect should be embodied
in an address, to be forwarded to the present Earl FITZ.
WILLIAM ; and that a bust of the late Noble and vene-
rable Earl be executed by Mr. LAW, and placed in the
New Cutlers' Hall.

PADDY M'KEW IN THE NORTH.--An
incendiary spy has paid a visit to part of the county Mo-
naghan. A few days ago, be was in the parish of
Tyhollan, where he op,nly offered two guineas bounty
to each recruit that would enlist in a secret association,
which he professes himself an emissary to establish. We
call upon the people to be on their guard, and not only to
avoid the snares of such miscreants, but to denounce all
secret societies as the greatest obstacle in the way of arne-.
liorating the condition and establishing the independence of
the country..—.lViwry. Examiner.
