Agricultural Protectionists, has taken the field against
the Chancellor of the Exchequer. His Grace had

motion against the proposed repeal of the duty on
foreign wool, which forms a part of the financial
scheme of the year, as explained by the Chancellor
of the Exchequer on Monday Evening. The motion
of the Noble Duke was to have been brought on
last evening ' • but, in consequence of the indis-
position of Lurd Ripon, it was first postponed FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.
