BIRMINGHAM PETITION

Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a. petition, signed .by G.
Edmonds,'on behalf of a numerous meeting at Birmingham,
at which meeting the petitioner had acted as chairman. ~He
was aware that it could only be received as. his petition ; but
as the language of it,- though strong, was not disrespectful
to the House, he should now move that it be brought up,
and read.. - •
The petition was then read.at length ; it was upon the sub-
ject Of Parliamentary,Reform.
Mr. Alderman•WOOD thin moved that it be printed..
Mr•. R. SSI ITH- objected to the printing of such a fkria'gri
of noursense ; it was- public evil that any man shon'hi; ttnss
relit himself in any seems, however offensive or absurd.
Mr. Alderman WOti,ittobserved, that' aS tbd Hoir
man had 'staid to hear tht whole of this Petition read, he
ought not to deprive others who .were absent of. the saute de-
ficioustreat.

After •a tcw irords ffinn Mr. Luihingion and Mi. Gurney,
the elution fur:printing it was negatived.

LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.

Mr. TENNYSON said,. that as the Landlords and:ronants
Whicit he: had brotzght in, had received the itoyal As-
sent, he gave-notice Of his intentiOn to. pursue the subjea, by
moving, Very early in the next Session, for leave to-intro due
a :measure more generally to amend the• Law of Lanillord
and Tenant,_ and particularly.
.to provide a more summary,
and less expensive remedy than at present existed, for reco=
'reting' the -possession of small tenements, when 'unlaWfUlly
withheld. He wished, by giving this':timely notice, • effec-
tually to direct the attention of the House and the Country
to a subject so iMpOitant, that when he should submit it to
the•eouideration of 'Parliament, he might have the benefit
of-that matured rdiectiorv-on the-part of others, Which it de-
served and required.--The House then adjourned.

The Queen Charlotte, whaler, after having
sustained much damage in doubling Cape Horn,
sprang a leak, and was obliged to make for
Valparaiso; vvheu.ton shifting her cargo, it was
found that she had been struck by a sword-fish,
the horn-.of—vihichi had- penetrated several feet
through ..4terr,botton4,- and -was sawn tali three
