HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDNESDAY.
Mr. Charlesby from the Erehequer, brought up certain Re-
cut no relative to Weights and Measures used in different parts of
Scotland.

A person from the Office of the Chief Secretary of Ireland,
brought up a Return of CertiAettes signed by the Lord Chancel-
lor of Ireland.

The SPEAKER informed the House, that Wil-
liam Cohbett, who had petitioned against the Return for the Bo-
rough of Preston, ort the 28th November haat, has failed to enter
into recognitances.—The Order for receiving the Petition was
accordingly discharged.
Mr. SHADWELL presented a Petition froth-R.
A. Douglas, praying fur ,an extension of time until Wednesday
next, to enter his recognizinces on the Petition of J. Eton &gainer.
the Return for the Town of Denbigh.
• Mr. C. W. WYNN said that the Petitioner had
only alleged the plea of inadvertence to the terms of the law, at
an excuse for his not fulfilling its enactment. He thought the
plea totally insufficient to iminee the House to comply with the
Petition.—After a short discussion between Mr. Wynn, Mr.
Abercromby, and Mr. W. Smith, the Petition was rejected..

journment, to consider the first day after their next meeting tithe
day after which such period had expirad, and that it would then
consider how far it should exercise its discretion—how fat it
would give an extension of time.

Mier a few words from Mr. WYNNE, Mr. Moore
withdrew the petitiou.

BOROUGH OF HEADON (YORKSHIRE).
Mr. VILLIERS:stated, that a petition had been
presented against his return for the Borough of Headon, and, ac-
cording to law, that petitioner should have given him a regular
notice of his sureties on Sunday last, which was the last Jay for
that purpose. That, however, he failed to do. But he, on tl►e
following day, applied to the House by his Agent, who uppeoied
at the Bar, and upon his'statement the House consented to en-
large the period of giving notice one day--,that was, from the lbtth
to the 19th inst. The motion which *Ron. :Member auwein,.
tended to submit was, that that. Order lilt disaargad..
On the Motion being seconded and filfrtirt the Chair,
Mr. BROUGHAM thought :that there would he
considerable harshness in at once assenting such Motion,
without even the {i►r►uality of a notice. The' Howie, .he limier-
stood, was to adjourn to-morrow ; and, if so, it wonki sit to-
morrow, for which day the Hon. Member might give his
A ,MEMBER said, the House was to adjour►:s.rins.
Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that in that ease he
did not think the Motion ought to lie carried.
Mr. WYNNE concurred in what had fallen from
the Hon. and Learned Member opposite.
The SPEAKER, after repeating what he yesterday
said, when the witness was examined at the Bar, upon the prayer
of the petition, called upon the Clerk to read the petitiowat length.
It uppeared to be the petition of James Alexander Crampton, the
arnt of Robert Ferranti, Esq., who had petitioned against the
return of Mr. Villiers for the Borough of Headon, Yorkshire.—
The Clerk also read the Order of the House, enlarging the time
of giving the suretiei; from the 18th inst. to the 19th inst.

Sir'`f. LETHBRIDGE thought' that if ever there
was a an in which the House ought to exercise their discretion,
this was one; and the more so, us the delay in complying with
the law arose, as he understood, from the supposition that Sun-
day was a dies non in the House of Commons, as It certainly is
for almost every other purpose.
After a few words from Air. ABERCROMHY,
Mr. Seel etary PEEL feared, that, as the House
had once decided 'upon the question, it was not in his power to
rescind the Order which hs(l been made upon their decision,
although he certainly thought the Honourable Gentleman had
been rather hardly dealt with. _ 4.•

Mr. BROUGHAM again observed, that the
being hardly dealt with consisted solely in his being 'unable to
meet his antagonises complaint by a mere technical objection.
Mr. PEEL thought there was a course to be.adop-
ted which might relieve the Houe from the difficulty in which it
was now placed. He would propme that the Order be rescinded
now, with the express understanding that the petitioner be placed
in precisely the same situation, after the recess, as be was at
present.

The SPEAKER said the Act of Parliament com-
manded, in express terms, that the enlargement of the Order
should take place only once. ' Iri his opinion, however, as, the
enlargement had taken place under peculiar eireumstances, the
House might comply with the Right Hon. Gentleman's suggestion.
Mr. W. W. WYNNE contended that the Act was
imperative, and could not in any case be passed over.
Mr. ABERCROMBY was at a loss to know on,
what principle the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed such a course.
There were no new facts' to be elicited. The House was already
in possession of every thing connected with the question, and he.
orw no reason for any such stretch of the Act as that which was
proposed.
..VGIIORACE TWISS argued that there was Ito
difricnity in the ease, The ACt raid that the enlatormeut could
be only mice, but as the enlargement had not yet actually taken
place, it could not he said that there had been any such enlarge-
' Meta as that prescribed by the Statute. ,
Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS contended, that as the
House had once deridtsl, any further consideration was imeossible.
After a few words from Mr. BERNAL, wait re-
spect to notice upon the parties,
Mr. HUSKISSON expressed his sorrow that the
parties had not any notice, as it was a question which affected the
rights of Members of the House. He was very lunch surprised,
however, to hear from the Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Wil-
liams), that because the House had decided, there was to be,
therefore, no review of the circumstances under which the deci-
sion was pronounced. In his opinion, if it appeared that the
House had derided wrong, it was bound to review and alter itt
determination. As far as he could understand the present case,
the conduct of -the Petitioner was ranted solely by inadvertence,
and because he did not understand that Sunday was not with
them a dies' non, as in the Courts of Law. He agreed with the
Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Horace Twiss), that what was proposed
was, in fact, no violation of the k;tatute, and perfectly within the
power of the House._ _

Lord FOLKESTONE said, the question-had been
Already fully discussed; and he did not see Why the Hon. Member
was to bang up the petitioner for months, upon a mere technical
objection.

-Mr. Alderman WOOD said, the neglect of the
petitioner must have proceeded altogether from ignorance, a* he
knew him well to be a man who could command waifs to the
amount of twenty times what was now required.
Mr. CALUMET said a few words in support of
the first decision of the House.

Mr. VILLIERS was convhiced that he was per-
fectly justified in pressing the motion. But he was willing that
the Order should he rescinded, on the underetanding that fur-
ther proceeditirs should stand over till the next meeting of Par-
liament.

Mr. C. W. WYNN requested the' Speaker to state
the Ltw on the stsbjert. ' • • • .

The SPEAk ER said, that the construction always
put by the House on the Statute, had been, that nii'enlargement
could take place after the expiration of the folirteen days ; and
for this simple reason—that if the petitioner did not during that
term enter his sureties, the petition would at once and of course
be discharged.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, this was IS question re-
specting which no doubt could exist in any pariah vestry. The
law was clearly against the motion. _
Mr. CARTER was of opinion that the time had
been substantially enlarged.
The SPEA KER having been called upon to state
his troll construction of the Statute, declined-doing so, on the
get hurl that if the case ahonid afterwards find its way into the
Courts of Law, his opinion might he qnestioned there.
After some conversation between Mr. liuskisson, Mr.- Peel,
Mr. Motherly, and the Speaker,
Mr. PEEL observed, that upon further considera-
tion he was induced to change his opinion. Upon the whole, he
thought. it safer to adhere to yesterday's decision, than to run the
risk of involving the House in disputes on the law of the question;
The motion was then by leave withdrawn.
MALLOW ELECTION.

Mr. S. RICE bad a petition to prese!it from Mr.
Henry Yunng, of Etwor.street, in the Strand, agent for one of the
candidates- at the lute Election for Alallow, praying the House to
make an order, that the sureties might in thi* case be received,
and the time enlarged for that purpose.

The petitioner having been culled in and sworn to the truth oi
hie statement*.

Mr. S. RICE moved, that the further considera-
tion of the case he adjourned till the bth of February.
Mr. C. W. WYNN suggested the 13th of Fe.
hroary instead.
Mr..IEPHSON (the sitting Member) complained
that he had had no notice of this application.
Mr. HUSKISSON said, that the question could
not be compromised by acceding to the motion' ta rniarging
the time.

Mr. S. RICE retnarkedi that the *present course

gave the Hon. Member (Mr. 41410-4)4tilitlirOatice than Li
would have received in the ordinary
The motion, at amended on the suggestion. of Mr. Wynn,
was then agreed to.

KERRY ELECTION.
Air. S. RICE presented a petition from Colonel
James Crosby, of liallyliesth Castle, in the minty of Kerry, pray-
ing that the liouse would enlarge the timer for him to enter into
sureties,iu support of Ilia petition against ,the late Election for
that County.

Mr. Henry Young, who appeared a 8 the Petitioner's *gent,
was again called in, and bworn to the truth of the staterdents in
this Petition.--It wee then orderedlo lie no the table.

WAR WITH SPAIN.
Mr. Secretary PEEL appeared at the Bar, with his
Majesty's most,gracioue answer to the Address voted on the pre-
ceding day, and presented that morning to his Majist7 by whoa
Membets of his Majesty's Privy• Council. His Majesty stated,
that he had received with great isatiNfacrion the assurances of the
cordial conctn•renee and support of both Houses of Parlieraeut.--
His Majesty ,felt this Resolution would strengthen his hands for
the protection of Portugal;' and'atiord the best chance of !twining
a war with-Spain.

His IVlajosti's Answer was ordered to bs entere.l upon the
Journal).

ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

-
Mr. Secretary 'PEEL the*' rose in pursuance of
the notice given by his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. Canning),
to move that the liotOe should, on its rising.; adjourn till the Bth
of February. The effects of his Ili ht lion. Miele* exertions
on-the previous night heti, plevented his attendance that evening,
as those who were most interested in' the'preservation of his heelth
thought it desirable that, in his present condition, every unne-
eessary ettbrt Should he sp,ired; his indisprialtion Laving been
mainly produced through the great anxiety he bad felt in die--
charging co material au act of his puldie duty, He (Mr. Peel)
would not further allude to' the. debate which had called frit th
those exertions, than simply to express his °Onion, that this
country could not, either in consietence, with her interests, or in
adheiew to 44 any other esutrat than that
site had adopted-:-.(Mirilie -tat that 'roam
wait the surest method to prevent war--(Cheers). He hoped tie
moral effect of the measures approved by ParliaMent would be to
prevent that dreadful calamity. lie thought it of importanc4,
too, that it should he generally known; that those measures had
met with the unanimous concurrence of his Majesty's Ministers
—(Chiers).—He believed that no, greater evil could befit the
interests of mankind, than a war at this moment. It would
impede the advance, not only of this country, but of the
world generally, in civilization. The conduct of his Majes-
ty's Ministers was perfectly consistent 'with that feeling, be-
cause they were convinced that the' surest method to preserve
peace was to *hew the nicest jealousy in defence of the air.'
tional honour—(Cheers). flaring touched on ibis subject,
he would declare his firm opinion, that no other course was
left this conntiy, but to listen to the application of Portugal. The
purpose for which he had risen was, however, to carry into effect
the notice given by his Right lion. Friend for the Adjournment
of the House till the tith of February. If he had not beard that
some objection would be urged, on the ground that the period of
adjournment was unusually long, he would have contented hint-
sellwith simply bringing on the motion, without a single °liver-
Vation. He denied the fact, not that he rested on precedents, for
the propriety of the length of each period depended on consider-
ations peculiar to itself. • The Right lion. Gentleman then re-
ferral to several for Mer adjournments for the Christmas Holidays,
of greater length than that he wits proposing. , He remarked that
he ninuld obviate another objection that might he urged, by giving
notice of the particular day on which his Right lion. Friend (Mr.
('inning) would introduce the great question of which he, had
given notice, reapecting the Corn Laws.-.('Hear, hear !)—On the
tith of February, which would, be believed, fall on a Thursday, he
trusted there would he a considerable attendance in the House,
which o unlit enable it to make an effective beginning in, public
business. It was his Right Hon. Friend's intention on the fol-
lowing Monday, the 12th of February, to call the attention of the
House to the consideration'of the state of the law relative to the
importation of Foreign Corn and in so doing to give a detailed
explanation of the views of his Majesty's Government on that
subject.—(Hear, hear.)—The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded
by moving, that the House, at its rising,- should Adjourn till the
Bth of February.

Mr. J. 'WILLIAMS thought so long an adjourn,-
Mont by no means prudent in the present circumstances' of the
country. It was his misfortune to differ from the majority of the
House as to the course of 'proceeding which .'had been adopted
during the present Session. No measure, except one of coupe-
rativOy trifling importance; had been touched upon, and even
that measure had been hurried through Parliament with as hale
ceremony .as an ordinary. Road. 1341.....-..Nothilig had bent done
with- te4peilt to that great Measstrethe -settlement of., the Coro
laws---a measure which kept in suspense all the relations of coo-
, ract betiVerfl landlord and tenant. Petitioners, from the most
populous, and formerly the most.thriving.pertof the empire, bad
approached that House, praying fOr the Means of ahandoniog a
country of which they despaired ; yet no notice bad kentaken
(if their petitions. The state of Ireland, which was of curb vital
importance to the empire, more especially ire war should really take
oat*, tuut not even. bean adverted to in his Majesty's Speech.
None of these topics had been noticed, during the Session; and he
could not help therefore stating his opinion.; though he was aware
the majority of the House differed from him, that Parliament
ought Jo meet at an earlier period, in order to compensate for
their neglect by an increased degree of attention to the great du-
ties which they owed to the Conntry.---The Motion- was 'then
agreed to. . . . •
