Sir F Blirdett, and to co-bp,..

tal ter in bringing About a Reform in the Representa-

. Gen. TARLETOIN, in moving that the Petition do
lie rin-the tabl; ohsetve,!, that he agreed w ith the
Petitioners as to' the liberation, of Mr.- J. G. Jones,
tWbOse.cnitfinrment had, in hiS opinion, been at
exit of suttifient duratillti), and •as to the expedi-
..

of a -P--irbawriitary lietbitn, although he dif-
erklitoin their setititent, with rehtiot to Sir F.
i~arilet t.

Mr. GAscoioN E felt,it his. duty to second the mo-

althoQ wgh he as convinced not only that -the
tition did not convey the entiments of the ma-
1. irity of the inhabitants of Liverpool, but that not
of those inhahitants could have been pre-•
.6;0 upon to ~fgo it. He was glad to hear that his
Honourable Colleague's opinion of the individuals
‘.% horn the.present petition had been signed, had •
unpruve: since the presentation by himself of a pe-
-t,on 'with simlat signatunis. He repeated that the
,majority of the population of Liverpool were per--
fec.tly satisfied with-the blessings Which they enjoy-
ed under the existing Government.
General TARLETori explained.
Mr. WHITBREAD did not think it was necessary
for the Honourable Gentleman by ‘vbom the mo-
tion -tvas seconded to en&avour to thrOw discredit
upon it. The petition did not profess to be the pe-
tition of the may2,rity of the people of Liverpool.—
The petitioners only assumed to speak their own
sentiments. -As to the-charge made by-the Hon.
Gentleman against his Hon. Friend, fora vacilla—
tion of conduCt,', it must be remembered that, an.
Hon. Gentleman; one :who was considered among
the most independent members in the House, had
recently declared that the best proof of independence
was to be found in voting sometimes on one side and
sometimes on another. Ainong the names attached
to this petition, it gave him. considerable satisfaction-
to see that of Mr. Roscoe, than whom a more en-
lighened, a more breneyolent, and a more patiiotic
individual d d not exist; and with all deference-to
the Hon. Gentleman opposite, he could not help
expressing a wish that Mr. Roscoe bad had the op-
portunity of presenting the etition now submitted
to the House, leaving to his Ron. Friend near• him
the honour of seconding it. -
The Ktitiou was then ordered to .lie on the
table.

Mr. ROBERTS presented a Peitir,n from the Elec-
tors and other inhabitants Of the city of Worcester,
praying for Parliamentary Reform.
Anevii had been read by the Clerk, _ .

Mr. 11,BERTS moved ,thi.it it do lie on_ the table.
• Mr. GORDON seconded the moliOn. He obsersied
that she Peti, ton was sighed by many respectable in-.
d:viduak, and that he should tel it his duty to sup-
port ~ny plan of reform which should appear to hint
to be consistent with the true interests of the
eohn:ry,
The ,Petition was then ordered to tie on the
table. .

Colonel WARDLE presented a Petition from the
freemen and inhabitints bf Canterbury,.praying the
Bons, to revise thew proceedings with respect to
Mr. John Gale Jones and Sir Francis Burdett. He
stated that the Petitioners had assembled he most
peaceable and
.decorous manner, and that the Peti-
tion was signed by near 4000 persons, forming four-
fifths of the .populatiou of the City.
During the reading of the Petition
.by the Clerk,
an expression of surprise used by the Petitioners
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be per-
mitted to be " at large," occasioned considerable
merriment in the'House.

'On the motion of Colonel Wardle, the Petition

was ordered to lie on the table.,
Lord COCHRANE expressed some surprise that the
Forest olßere Inclosure Bill had been read a third

time at so early an hour in the evening, when he
had given notice of a motioq on the subject. He
expatiated at considerable length on the necessity of
husbanding the timber in the country, declaring
that a great scarcity-existed in general, and that at
Plymouth in particular, there was not half timber
enough to build a seventy-four. After a variety of
observations on the subject, he moved that the
-Rights of the Crown, the claims of individuals,
the interests of the public in the preservation
of the Forest of Bere, together with the claims
of the Lord Warden, for the relinquishment of his-
rights, he referred to a Committee.
Mr. ROSE thought that it was too much .for the
Noble Lord to expect, that because he did not at-
tend in his- place in sufficient time, the third reading
of the Bill was to be postponed.. He defended the
Bill, and in answer to the observations of the Noble
Lord, with respect to the scarcity, of timber, re-
marked,- that during the last six years more care
had been bestowed on that subject ihau for the
preceding half century. •
Alr. S. BOURNE defended- the inclostire of the
• FOrest of Bere; on grounds of public utility, al-
though the measure was one which by no means
accorded with his individual wishes. •

The motion was then negatived without a divi
sion.
Lord COCIIIIANE proceeded to move, that due no-
tice should be given in the Orders 'of the Day re-
speCling the stages of Bills which went to grant
away or impair the rights of the Crown, in to.
rests, &c.

After. a long conversation, in which the Speaker,
Mr. Chute, the Chancellor of. the Exchequer, Mr.
M. Fitzgerald, Mr. Rose, Mr. S. Bourne, Mr. Wil-
berforce, and Load COchrane -participated, this mo--
tio was also negatived witout a divisiun.
CAPTAIN FOSKETT.

Mr. LITTLETON in consequenee.of the impetfea
communication. which he had hitherto had. with
