oate that there would be any difficulty in obtaining that
attention to it which the subject deserved, without post-
poning it until the Reforni Bills were disposed of. He was
confident that the great and comprehensive mind of his
Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir E. Sugden) could etnbrtee
not only the Reform Bills, but' the General Registry Bill,
at one and the same time.
After a few observations from Mr. C. Pelham, Mr.
Hume, Mr. C. Ferguson, Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. Sand-
ford, and Sir R. Vyvyan, the petition was read anti or-
dered to be printed.
THE GLOVE TRADE.

Mr. CRAMPTON presented a petition from certain
glove-manufacturers in the town of Milborne-port, Somer.
setshire, complaining of the free importation of French
gloves, and stating the distress to which the trede was in
consequence reduced.
Mr HUNT observed that the distress in the glove
trade in Worcester, Woodstock, and Yeovil, was very
great. He was sorry that the Members for the former
places were not present.
Mr. HUME denied that the distress in the glove trade
was attributed to the removal of the prohibition. All
other branches of manufacture were equady distressed, but
it was absurd to suppose it was the result of the free trade
system.
After a few words from Mr. WARBURTON, Sir R.
VIrvAN, and Mr. Setenroen,
Mr. S. RICE said he had had the honour of receiving
a deputation of glove-manufacturers, who stated the
difficulties under which that trade laboured, and un-
doubtedly from all that they suggested they proposed no
plan that could remove those difficulties unless•the proe.
h ibietlyeseasesetori"'Wefeit tlr"Vgaittettirir
the word prohibition was for ever banished from the com-
mercial code of this country—(Hear, hear)—end he was
sure that it would be impolitic to resort to it in this case.
Even it it were resorte f to, would it put down smuggling?
He was sure no person who paid any attention to these
matters would answer in the affirmative. The deputation
suggested that licences should be granted as a means of
preventing smuggling, but great pains were takers to con-
vince them that that mode would but increase the diffi-
culties at present existing. They also proposed that
gloves should be stamped, but then by at any
time forging the stomp every facility would be afforded
to injure the fair trader.—(Hear.) His Majesty's Go-
vernment had every disposition to remedy the evils if they
could do so, but the result of the conference with the de-
putation was, that nothing which they suggested would
operate as a remedy.
Mr. D. W. HARVEY, so far from believing that
the evils complained of arose out of the free trade system.
said he would tell the hard-working and industrious poor
that there were but three remedies, and those were—lst,
great economy in the public expenditure; 2d, a large re
duction of taxation and the levying a property-tax; and
3d, a free trade in corn It was a mere waste of time
and of parchment to attribute the distress to a free trade.
The petition was then read and ordered to be printed.
The Hox. MEMBER. also presented a similar petition
from a place the name of which we did not hear.
Mr. ROBINSON, who had but a few minutes before
entered, observed that he understood it had been stated
• that his 11Iajesty's Government after taking the subject
into their consideration were not prepared themselves to
come forward with any specific charge.
Mr. SPRING RICE stated that the Hon. Member had
been totally misinformed of what he did state. What
he bad said was, that he had been waited upon by
several gentlemen in the trade, who had proposed
to him certain remedies which they thought would be the
means of eradicating the evil they complained of; bus
which he (Mr. S. Rice), after great consideration, wa,
perfectly satisfied would rather aggravate than diminish the
disease.

Mr. ROBINSON would not then press the matter fur-
ther upon the attention of the House, as an Hon. Col.
league of his intended, in a few days, to bring the subject
forward. He, however, had been in hopes that Govern-
ment would, by this time, have been prepared to state
whether they had any remedies to suggest, or were prepared
again to adopt the prohibitive system.
Mr. WEYLAND thought that those who were the
greatest advocates for free trade ought to make an excep-
tion on the part of this particular branch of commerce.
On the motion of Mr. CA IV PBELL, the Limitation of
Actions Bid, the Fines and Recoveries Bill, the Curtesy
of England B 11, and Dower and Inheritance Bill, si ere
ordered to be committed on the 25th January; and the
General Registry Bill to be read the second time on the
Ist of February.
Mr. HUNT presented a petition from the Political
Union of Manchester, praying fir Parliamentary Re
form, annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, and vote by
ballot. On the Hon. Member's moving that the petition
be brought up,
The SPEAKER wished to know in what manner the
petition was subscribed?
Mr. HUNT observed that it was subscribed as the pe•
tition of the members of the Manchester Political Union,
in public meeting assembled, and that it was signed by a
Mr. Grieves, as the chairman.
The SPEAKER observed that no petition could be
received in that House presented from petitioners in the
plural number, unless it was signed by the petitioners. If
the petition came from a corporate body, and signed on behalf
of that body—that body being a legal body—the petition
would be received; but in the present instance, it being
signed by a single individual for a body of which the law
took no cognizance, it could not'he received.
Mr. HUNT then said he would withdraw the petition
in order to have it regularly signed.
The Hos. MExtEEK then pros, nted another petition from
the Members of the North Western Metropolitan Union
of Marylebone and St. Pancras, praying for the repeal
of the assessed taxes.—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. STANLEY stated, in answer to a question from
Mr. Leader, that he h id received yesterday a paper, which
would give that gentleman part of the information he de-
sired, showing the total population of Ireland, according
to its present census, to he 7,731,000 ; being an increase
of 131 per cent. on the census of 1821.
Mr. LEADER then moved that there be laid on the
table a comparative abstract of the population of Ireland,
taken in 1821 and 1831.
