[MORNING CHRONICLE."'

• From the feeling displayed las.iinight in the
House of Lords, when Lord King present-
, ed a petition against the Corn Laws from
Rochester, we may clearly perceive that the
landholders are determined to fight every inch
of ground. The Duke of Athol was particu-
larly indignant that the weavers of Perth
should have petitioned against these laws, as
at a former period, when the weavers were in
distress, the landed interest of Perth had sup-
ported one thousand five hundred of them. Good
God : that n great landholder should make it a
merit, that in a season of distress, when there is a
want of employment for the working people, re-
lief was extended to them. We are far from
wishing to say any thing which might even in-
directly have the effect of diminishing the
regard for property; but proprietors of land
ought to boar in mind, that it is labour
alone which give value to land. The over.
grown estate of his Grace is highly valuable,
because it is situated in a country of industry.
Many a proprietor of estates, twice as extensive,
and more fertile, in Poland and Russia, derives
very little comparatively from them, because
he is not so happy as his Grace to have starv-
ing weavers in his neighbourhood. What an
argument, that men are to be starved for ever,
because those who are rich by their industry as-
sisted once in a period of suffering ! His Grace
seems, indeed, disposed to turn his charity to
some account.

rDRITISJI ass.J
The pecuniary embarrassments which have
spread so dark a iloom over this part of the corn.
mercial world are beComing every hour more
deeply felt on the Continent, and are productive
of fresh distresses. We learn, with sincere
regret, that one of the first houses in the
wool-trade, the house of Messrs. Reichen.
buck end Co., at Leipsic, had failed to the
extent of nearly half a million. This event, it
is expected, will be severely felt by many of tiu.
leading wool-staplers In this country. Messrs.
Reichenback and Co. have extensive branch esta-
blishments in most of the chief cities of Germany.
When wo consider how much the credit and con.
cerns of all great mercantile houses are combined
and are mutually dependent one upon another, it
Is easy to imagine the aide circle of ruin which
this failure will bring in the train of it.

[NEW TIMES.]

In the House of Lords, list night, the Ear,
'of Shaftesbury brought up the Report of Cho
Bank Regulation 13i11, which, after a few verbal
amendments, w,ts read a third time, and passed.--
lit the House of Commons, in answer to a ques-
tion from Mr. Thomas Wilson, the Chancellor
at the Exchequer stated, that a communica.
Con had been made to the Bank by his Majesty's
Ministers, with respect to the proposed advances,
and that the Bank fully acquiesced in the prin-
ciple laid down by Ministers. Thnt the sum to
be advanced was not to exceed Three Millions.
Mr. Wilson, in consequence, withdrew his ma.
lion. In reply to other questions, the Right
Honourable Gentleman stated, that it was not
the intention, nor was it in the power, of his Ma.
jesty's Government to guarantee the advances of
the Bank, though it was intended to relieve
then, from a portion of the advances to Govern-
ment, and also to accelerate the period at which
the law of merchant and factor should come into
operation. A conversation of some length fol.{
lowed, in which Mr. Tierney, the Chancellor,
Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Brougham, and Mr. Canning
took a part. Mr. Ellice then brought forward
his motion respecting the Issues, repayment, and
present state of Exchequer Bills. On this mo-
tion, Mr. Tierney, Mr. Baring, and the Chan-
cellor hpoke at great length. Mr. Tierney con.
tontiPti, that the indirect method of advances
through
less adapted to alleviate the distresses of the
the medium of the Bank, was much
country, and to restore commercial credit, than
the direct issue of Exchequer Bills. Mr. Baling
supported Mr. Tierney's views. The Chancellor
opposed then,.
