WAREHOUSE CORN BILL.

On the motion that the House resolve itself into
a Committee on the Corn Warehouse Bill,

Lord GREY took the opportunity of calling the
attention of his Majesty's Ministers to a subject
which bore remotely on the question now under
consideration, and also on the measure which it was
understood it was intended to be submitted to the
House of Lords next Session. It was admitted
on all hands, that the agricultural interests were now
suffering under great depression, and he was sure
there must be every disposition to afford any
relief to an interest so important to all other
interests and to the country. There was a plant
which he understood might be cultivated with
great advantage, but the cultivation of which was
under a direct and absolute prohibition, he meant
tobacco, which he understood might be cultivat-
ed with great advantage in many parts of
the country, and the unnecessary restraints on
which could not be justified upon any princiffie
of free trade, or of policy and justice. He
thought the subject worthy of the consideration
of his Majesty's Ministers, and after turning the
matter over in their minds between this and the next
Session of Parliament, perhaps they would be pre-
pared to come forward with some specific proposi-
tion on the subject.—(Hear.)
Viscount GODERICH said, that there certainly
did exist, and had for many years existed, a prohi-
bition to the cultivation of Tobacco in this country;
the origin of which, undoubtedly, was a notion that
it would give encouragement to the cultivation of to-
bacco in Virginia. He confessed that he thought
the policy of such a measure, even at such a time as
that at which it was passed, unwise, and the mea-
sure itself unnecessary. It was quite obvious, how-
ever, that the grounds on which an attempt might
have been made to justify the measure at the time
at which it was proposed, had no reference whatever
to the present state of things. The only reason, in-
deed, why the prohibition had not been removed
'long ago, must be some doubts with respect to the
practical effect of its removal on the revenue. He be-
lieved, however (for he really had no accurate know-
ledge on the subject), that to render the cultivation
of tobacco profitable, would require a dryer climate
than there was in this country; and especially than

there vas in Ireland,
great quantity of land exceedingly well adapted for
the cultivation of tobacco. One reason probably
which had hitherto prevented the removal of the re-
striction was, that there was a very high duty on
foreign tobacco; which would undoubtedly be inter-•
fered with, more or less, by any extensive cultivation
of tobacco in this country. He should certainly not
much like to attempt the cultivation of tobacco in
this country under any restraining
-duty; as that
would be a great impediment to its cultivation.
What he should prefer would be to reduce the duty
on foreign tobacco, and then to let the English to-
bacco have a fair chance with it in the market. He
apologised for having expressed himself with so
many doubts on this point. If it were possible by
any such means as the Noble Earl suggested to
afford any effectual assistance, to agriculture, with-
out doing any injury to the revenue, all he could
say was, that every general principle was in favour
of such a proposition, and that nothing could give
him more pleasure than to be the instrument of in-
troducing to their Lordships a subject so well worthy
their consideration.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said the law re-
specting tobacco was as had been laid down by the
Noble Lord. The law upon tobacco was first.passed
for the purpose of cultivating the growth in Vir-
ginia. In 1775 that law was altered, and tobacco
was cultivated here with great success. He knew
of two or three hundred acres in one county being
under the cultivation of it. In 1783 or 4, however,
the law was again altered, and a prohibitory law
against its cultivation was passed. Whilst the cul-
tivation was encouraged, it was under the regulation
of the Excise Laws.

The Earl of MALMESBURY thought this a
proper time for introducing an Amendment which
he deemed requisite for the improvement of the Bill.
The Amendment was, that for " the Ist of July," to
which time the importation of corn to be bonded
and let out for home consumption was limited, the
words " the Ist of June" should be substituted. He
thought that there was no necessity for extending
the time to the Ist of July. A considerable in-
crease of importation had been made in the course
of the present month. He held in his hand a return,
from which it appeared, that in one week sixteen
vessels with cargoes of wheat had entered the port
of Liverpool—from Odessa 8,800 quarters had been
imported. This he was the more anxious to remark
as the Noble Lord had expressed his opinion that no
considerable importation from thence would take
place. There had been also an importation of
14,200 bags from Dantzic, which he would take to
be about 7,000 quarters. Now here was in Liver-
pool alone an importation of 16,000 quarters. As
Liverpool was a much smaller port than London, he
supposed that the importation into London was con-
siderably greater. He did not exaggerate, he thought,
therefore, in taking the average importation of the
whole month to amount to about 600,000 quarters.
This, together with the Canadian, would be in his
opinion too great a quantity to admit into bond on
the proposed terms. He therefore thought that
a limit to the period of importation ought to be de-
termined upon. He was strengthened in this view
by the principle of the present Bill being opposed
to the principle of former measures upon this sub-
ject. It was proposed that it should have a pros-
pective operation, which was at variance with the
principles of the measures of 1825 and 1826, upon
this subject. The Noble Lord concluded by pro-
posing an Amendment to the effect stated in his
speech.
Lord GODERICH said, that there was this
difference between the present measure and the mea-
sures to which the Noble Lord referred ; that in the
two latter instances, no parties had an encouragement
held out as they had in the present instance to im-
port corn. This was the reason of the prospective
effect of the Bill to which the Noble Lord alluded.
From the success which the late Bill met with in
the other House, and from the favourable reception
it had also at first met with in this House, it would
be hard indeed to exclude those persons from that
benefit arising from importation, to which legislative

sanction naa been in part given, and to which there
was every probability of its being. finally extended.
—lt would be. a practical injustice to those parties
to exclude than now from .our ports. As ,to the
apprehenshiti iif the Noble Lord of a considerable
increase of importation taking place in the present
month, he could only say as to London, so far from
that apprehension being realised, that (as we under-
stood the Noble Lord) up to the .date of the intro-
ducticiti or that fill into the Honk, there was not a
larger importation than J 2,000 quarters.
The Earl of MALMtSI3URY could not recog-
nise the right of persons importing Corn, to certain
advantages, because one portidh of the Legislature
had agreed to a Bill which was incomplete, by
having been abandoned in this House. He re-
membered that when persons were suffering from a
former measure of Government, such sympathy was
not experienced then as the Noble Lord now seemed
to feel. The Noble Earl (Liverpool) late at the
head of the Government, said, last Session, that it
was not his intention to interfere in the Corn
Question that Session. Towards the close of the
Session a measure was adopted, and he (the Earl of
Malmesbury) presented two petitions from factors,
who were accustomed to purchase corn in Ireland,
which they sold in England. To those persons he
knew that this measure, adopted at a late period of
last Session, was injurious to an amazing extent.
He did not think there was more reason for consider-
ing the situation of the parties now interested, than
there was in the former.

The Marquis of SALISBURY could not consent
to the admission of a right on the part of the parties
claiming the present benefit, on the ground that one
branch of the Legislature had agreed to it. The
tendency of such a doctrine was to reduce this
House to a cypher, and to make it, as had been
said, merely a Register-office for the edicts of the
other House.

Lord GODERICH said, that there Was a differ-
ence between right and justice, which the Noble Lord
did not seem to observe. It was on the ground of
justice, not of right, that he maintained the propriety
of preserving this part of the Bill. An encourage-
ment to importation had been held out, which it
would not be fair to disappoint : and he thought the
permission ought to be granted at least until the
passing of this Bill, which would be about the be-
ginning of July.
Lord REDESDALE said, that the Noble Lord
seemed to reserve all his sympathy for foreigners.
It would become him also to consider the situation
of English farmers, who had cultivated their lands
under the existing Corn Laws. Were not their
interests to be attended to ?—(Hear, hear, hear.)
He had heard Mr. Pitt often say, that the great
danger of the Warehousing System was, that it had
a tendency to lead to great mischievous speculation.
To that state the Warehousing System had now
reached. He was opposed to increased importa-
tion, because it was opposed to, the principle of
the old Corn Laws, which made the necessity of the
country the rule of importation ; but here was the
sanction of importation without any necessity at all.
He condemned the doctrine of admitting the deci-
sion of the other House of Parliament to sway or
bind the opinion of that House. The Bill then
before their Lordships was like the Bills which had
been sent there before, founded on robbery and
wrong, and the result of a conspiracy to put down
the landed interest. It was objectionable because
it proposed to sacrifice the landed interest, without
any necessity, to the wants of the manufacturers;
and still more objectionable because it proposed to
do that by the means of what might be called a per-
petual land-tax, and a land-tax pressing only on the
lands in cultivation. After observing upon the dis-
position displayed in the late meeting at Birming-
ham, to raise a cry that the landed interest must be
put down, the Noble Lord contended that the Bill
now before their Lordships supported that cry, and
gave effect to the wishes of those who uttered it.—
For these reasons, he thought that it ought not to
receive their Lordships' assent, unless they were
prepared to destroy themselves, and say they were
. • ••

—After a few words from Lord TEYNHAM,
Amendment was negatived ,without a division, and
the Report having been received, the Bill was or-
dered to be read a third time to-morrow.

Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and
their Lordships then adjourned at few minutes after
seven.

PUBLIC BOTANICAL GARDEN.

The PETITION of ROBERT JOHN THORNTON,
M.D., Member of Trinity College, Cambridge, and of
the Royal London College of Physicians.
To the Honourable the Commons of the United King-
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament
assembled.

" StIEWETH,—That at a period when the Regent's
Park was under consideration for improvement, your Peti-
tioner did then entertain the idea of a Public Botanical
Garden, for the promotion of the science of botany, and
for the health, comfort, and rational enjoyment of the in-
habitants of this metropolis, the " Puncturn Saliens
Mundi,' as Linnaeus calls it, or Wonder of the World, to'
be established in this part, capable of being formed into a
Paradise, or a Paradise within a Paradise, now that it is
most tastefully adorned with villas, and palace-like
rows of houses, built in a style of architecture unknown
to our ancestors, the admiration of every beholder,
and only wanting for an adjunct, a public Botani-
cal Garden, such as is found in every part of the
world except London, which, from its intercourse with all
nations, is best adapted for it. Your petitioner, to obviate
this want, did early apply for the establishment of such a
Botanic Garden, to the Lords Commissioners of Woods
and Forests, fora portion of ground in the Regent's Park,
to be converted into a Botanical Garden, such as exists at
Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, the
East and West Indies, France, and other civilized por-
tions of the globe, which suggestion being referred to
Mr. Nash, was highly approved of, when your peti-
tioner fixed upon that portion of the ground in the
Regent's Park, facing the New Colosceum, or Panorama of
London, as best suited fur the purpose (at present occupied
by cows and horses), for the establishment of such a Botanic
Garden, to be called Paradisus Anglicanus;' and your pe-
titioner humbly solicits, that such a Garden may be immedi-
ately, or as soon as possible, commenced, which will have
not only utility to boast of, but must be considered as
a national honour, and an ornament to the Regent's Park ;
and your petitioner humbly begs that this portion of ground
may be allotted to your petitioner, or any other portion,
for the said purpose of establishing a Botanical Garden ;
and your petitioner also prays that he may be appointed to
plan out this Garden, after the system of Linnseus, and
superintend this Garden, with a salary of Five Hundred
' Pounds per annum, during his natural life, or whatever
sum the Commons in its wisdom shall choose to appoint;
and he begs leave to observe, that such Was the lot of Lin-
naeus in Sweden, who, under the auspices of his Govern-
ment at Upsal, established a similar Botanical Garden,
which leads from Nature up to Nature's God.' "

The gentleman about to be married to Miss
Turner is Mr. Legh, the celebrated traveller,
whose property lies at Warrington, almost ad-
joining that of the young lady's father.

Saturday last a woman named Macklin was
committed to Deal Gaol, charged with brutal
cruelty to an infant. The mother, it appears,
being in service, had confided the care of the
child (about two years old) to the prisoner, in
consequenCe of her affecting a more than ordi-
nary degree of attachment towards it. The fre-
quent outcries of the little sufferer had for some
time, it seems, excited the suspicions of the
neighbours, and at length led to a discovery of
the most shocking nature ; the skull of the in-
fant was found severely contused, and in some
places indented by the violence of the blows,
while the whole person exhibited a most dis-
tressing spectacle, being literally covered with
livid marks and discolourations ! The child was
immediately conve)ed to the poor-house, where
it remains in a very precarious state, with little
prospect of recovery. •We deem it but justice to
add, that the attention of Mr. Dixon, surgeon
of the parish, been most exemplary and un-
remittiiginihis case.—Maidstone Journal.

LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, :1827.

Lord GREY threw out a suggestion last night
in the House of Lords respecting the cul-
tivation of Tobacco in this country, at pre-
sent strictly prohibited by law. The origin
of the prohibition was alluded to by his Lord-
ship, and it is certainly singular that it should
continue so long after Virginia has ceased to be
a part of this Empire, and consequently entitled
to any legislative protection.
Lord GODERICH agreed with Lord GREY in
thinking the subject deserving the attention of
Parliament, and thought it would be advisable
to do away with the duties gradually, with
a view of permitting the growth of British To-
bacco, and then letting it take its chance with
that which may be produced in dryer and
better climates. If it does not affect the
revenue, we cannot see any objection to
the proposition, unless it has the effect of
making still more common the multiplied uses of
that noxious weed. Between snuffers andsmokers
one entire sex, and a considerable portion of the
other, are subjected to hourly annoyance. But
when Tobacco is cheaper, they may perhaps be-
come less fashionable recreations.

Up to a late hour this afternoon, no later in-
telligence had reached town than that contained
in our paper of yesterday. The Private Letters
describe the public feeling against the re•esta-
blishment of the Censorship of the Press, as

pecied for some time, no very violent—explosion
is likely to take place on its promulgation.
The evil will, we have no doubt, be felt by all
classes in France, and will eventually work its
own cure.

Dutch Papers to the 27th inst. have been re-
ceived. By letters from Syra, received at Frank-
fort, it would seem that the Turkish fleet had
been seen off Capo steering for the Island
of Andros, and its destination was supposed to
be Candia.

The following is a contradiction of the asser-
tion by the French Papers that the negociations
for a Concordat had been broken off with the
Court of Rome : •
" BRUSSELS, JUNE 23.—Some time ago, one of our
Journals announced that the negotiation at Rome for the
conclusion of a Concordat with the Netherlands had met
with obstacles which would delay the termination of this
important affair; and one of the Paris Journals affirmed,
within these few days, that the Ambassador of the Nether-
lands, Count de Celles, was expected at Paris, on his return
to Bruxelles, in consequence of the breaking off of these
negociations. From these assertions, it is positively an-
nounced here that the reports are wholly destitute of
foundation; that the negociations at Rome are now going
on, to the satisfaction of the Holy Seel and of the Nether-
lands ; and that there never was greater reason than there
now is to expect the speedy conclusion of the Concordat.'

Letters have reached town this morning from
Madrid, to the 14th inst. The Army of Ob-
servation still remains in its old cantonments in
the neighbourhood of Caceres, but it is said that
it is to encamp at Brozas and Alcantara. The
corps of General EGutA has suffered severely
from desertion. This General remains on the
Line of the Minho, and the Portuguese keep
quiet in their cantonments.
These letters mention, that Mr. LAMB does
not consider the sickness prevailing in the Army
of Observation, to be a good reason for not
retreating according to Treaty, and strongly
insists on the fulfilment of the stipulations ; in
consequence of which it is again asserted, that
orders are to be sent to General SARSFIELD
to commence the retreat. The sickness in the
army is said to be making great progress, and
several physicians had been sent to head-quar-
ters. Fears were entertained that disturbances
would take place at . Aranjuez, and many
agents of the police had been sent there.
Accounts from Pampeluna of the 15th inst.
mention, that during last month the garrison have
been working nine hours a-day on the repairs of
that fortress.

We received this morning Frankfort Papers,
and the .Allgemcine Zeitung of the 21st inst.,
but their contents possess little of political in-
terest. It would appear that the good people at
Vienna are sadly scandalized by the ingenious
fictions of the French politicians, whose delicacy
is not so easily offended at occasional deviations
from truth, so long as it affords themselves
amusement at the expence of their moral neigh-
bours. These Papers contain no fresh news from
Greece :

VIENNA, JUNE 16.
The Austrian Observer contains an article from the
Journal du Commerce of the 6th June, which says that the
French at Vienna had received orders...from the Police to

leave the city in three days ; with various other particu-
hire. " This article," says the Observer, " furnishes a
new ptoof of the scandalous system of lying by which the
revolutionary journals of Paris daily impose on their pub-
lic: our public, especialy in this capital, are the best able to
certify the total untruth of this article, which bears on its
fate the stamp of malicious forgery."
Their Imperial Majesties will go, next month, to their
family estates in Upper krzstria; and then to Salzburg.
Prince Metternich is soon going to his estates in Bohemia,
and will return in August.

ST. PETERSBUGH, JUNE G.

An Imperial Rescript of the 6th of April, this year, ad-
dressed to General Yerrualoff, late Governor General of
Georgia, orders that the children of the deceased Zarewitsch
of Geotgia, Julon Iraklijeuitsch, shall receive for themselves
and their held for ever, the garden at Kondol, formerly
belonging to their father, bat which subsequently fell to
the Crown. This favour is granted them conformably to the
petition of their lately deceased mother, the Zarina Salome
Rewasowna. The &script concludes with the following
words :—" The family of the late Zarewitsch Julon, having
received this new grant in addition to the preceding in-
demnification, it shall make no further claims on the pro-
perty which has fallen to the Crown."
The Journal of the Itifinz.s published here gives an ac-
count of the entire produce in ;old and platina, obtained
from the Siberian Alines belonging to the Government and
to private persons, in the last six months (,t 1826. It was
in gold 111 poode 17 pounds ; in platina 3 pooh:
37 pounds.
The amount for the whole year was, in gold 2g.1 goods
25 pounds ; platina 13 poode 20 pounds. The poolis
equal to 401 be. Russia or 361 be. avoirdupois.

TaIESTE, JUNE 15.

Private letters from Corfu to 2d June do not say a word
of the reported victory of Lord Cochrane, whose arrival
on the west coast of the Morea is, however, again asserted.
The accounts from Corfu make no mention of any recent
events before Athens.

Gibraltar Chronicles of the 7th inst. have
been received. The paper of the fith mentions,
that the Pinchincha and Libra Colombian
cruisers were at anchor at the Island of Alboran
four days before ; they had captured a Majorquin
Xebec, with wine, oil, and fruit, and they passed
the Straits to the westward that morning with
another prize in company.

Some later communications have been re-
ceived via France, from Mexico, than. those
which have come direct here. M. ROCAFUERTE
was to be the bearer of the original of the com-
mercial treaty, and would take his passage in
H.M.S. Primrose, which, from the state of the
winds, may be hourly expected. This gentle-
man bears the character of a man of considerable
talent and ability, and one who acts with deci-
sion, and upon the principles of an enlarged
mind.

Some difficulties, it would seem, have inter-
posed to delay, if not to prevent, the adoption of
the system for the sale and purchase of Commis-
sions in the Navy, which has been recently in
contemplation. What those difficulties are, we
do not pretend to know ; but certainly in the
arguments which have been publicly used against
the introduction of such a system'into the naval
service of the kingdom, there is nothing which
can convince us that' any evil could result from
it. On the other hand, we are prepared
to contend; that a regulation which permitted
old officers to sell, and others to pur-
chase Commissions,' under judicious regulations
and restrictions, would be a valuable boon to a
very deserving and at present very ill paid class
of Officers, whilst it could not possibly be az,

will look at the proposed measure as a boon to
Officers of long standing. We will suppose the
case of a Post Captain of the standing of the
year 1802. He has been already 25 years on
the list of Captains, and if peace continues he
may reasonably expect to remain at least seven
years, or perhaps ten years' longer on that
list, before he can attain the rank of Flag
Officer, to which rank, indeed, it may hap-
pen that he may not ultimately be consider-
ed eligible, from not haying been able to
obtain employment. His half-pay is 12s. 6d.
a-days and he cannot receive a higher rate of
half-pay, as Captain, than 14s. 6d. per diem.
He is advancing in life, and feels that there is
no chance of his obtaining employment, for
which, indeed, it may also possibly happen that
he may not be well qualified, from having been
on shore for many years. This Officer would
gladly avail himself of the power given to him to
sell his Commission. He would communicatel
his wish to the Admiralty, and another Officer
would, on the payment of 4,5001. or 5,0001. to
the former, obtain rank as Captain, at the
bottom of the list, from near the top of which
the name of the Officer selling his Com-
mission would be removed. In this case,
the boon to the party selling would be great
and essential. He would obtain a sum,
the interest of which would be equal to or
greater than his half-pay, while the principal
would afford a provision for his family. Long
services would thus receive a considerable re-
ward, without any additional expence being in-
curred by the nation. In fact, a diminution
of expence would be the immediate result
of the operation, for the Officer purchasing
would receive at the bottom of the list a lower
rate of half-pay than the Officer selling receives
at the top of it ; and the country would have a
young and active Officer, fit for any employment,
instead of one old and worn-out, and fit, per-
haps, for no employment. The latter is a most
important consideration, as the bringing forward
of a regular succession of young Officers would
not be retarded, as it must be at present, by the
crowded state of the list, with Officers of very
long standing, but perhaps not long actual ser-
vice. To the party purchasing it .would
also be a great boon. His services and
character are acknowledged to be good, but not
of that striking nature as to justify the Admi-
ralty adding his name to the already largely
swelled list of Captains, and he does not
possess such commanding interest as to ob-
tain his promotion by bsyumthatto means.obtain rank
He
which,would
o
gnlattyith pstanding his ticknowledged merit,
he might not otherwise obtain. There can be no
doubt, therefore, that to individuals the regula-
tion which has been talked of would be highly
advantageous. Now, let us consider in what
way the system could be prejudicial to the
ervhas been argued that men with no
smeriitceW Itould rapidly obtain advancement to the
injury of deserving Officers and to the prejudice
of the service, because unfit for the station

which they had been allowed to purchase;
but as no individual Officer would be allowed to
sell his Commission to another, and no Officer,
would be permitted to buy a Commission but
under the entire approval and controul of the
Admiralty, no such evils could arise. Of
course those only would be permitted to pur-
chase, whose services gave them a fair claim,
or whose other pretensions would, under
the present system, obtain their prOmotion
without paying for it. That men of high family
would thus be brought forward occasionally can-
not be denied, nor would it be desirable alto-
gether , to prevent such men obtaining high rank
in the naval service at early periods of life ; but
they would not obtain it more frequently not
more easily than they do now, and there would
be this difference, that they now obtain Ly
rest alone what with interest they would then
obtain by paying large sums to the benefit of
tl
other meritorious Officers. In fact, :we have '
doubt, that if such a system were estr
blished, no man of family would ever oIY
ain promotion,
to
pead, if
except by hadby nopturcviejaarye.
jt
strong
services o
to us's excluding from promotion Officers who
have rea;2;' served meritoriously, the apprehen-
sion is altogether groundless. Brilliant and
good service can never be passed over in thf,
Navy ; and with the present illustrious Member
the Royal Family at its head, we are convinced
that such claims will be certain of obtaining their
rewarcl. The sale and purchase of Commis'
sions -,.111 not interfere with such claims, except 5°
far as it will extend the means of attending to them,
and from the best consideration we can give t°
the subject, instead
of any call for apprehension,
that the introduction of such a system into the
Navy will be prejudicial, we are convinced,
cL; thanl
it will be highly beneficial to the invidusll
members of that distinguished profession, 111
to the Service itself.

It is said that an intimation has been given from the
branch of the Bank of England established in Leeds, thet
arrangements will be made for the payment of dividends oc
the spot, on Stock held by individuals resident in the toil°
and neighbourhood, within two days of the payment ig
London. This mode of proceeding, if adopted genera/11'bl

Bankers, both in town and country, seem disposed to re,"
gard with much suspicion the gradual encroachmenv
making on their profits by the Bank of England. They
have an interest in common with, and also one directly or„
posed to, the Bank of England; and an angry collisi°l
would be too serious an affair not to be sincerely deprecate
by all parties.— Times.
The Duke of Wellington's unlucky amendment on 01°
Corn Bill seems to have caused infinite perplexity in se's,
of the ports opposite to the eastern coast of England. fr
pecting from the manner in which the Bill was brongl'
forward that there could be no doubt of its ultimately et!:
ing, they kept on board ship the grain brought from tl'ou
Northern ports, to be ready to proceed for Englund iche

of the vote on the amendment, which made it, el coulle:u

proceeding reached them, by which they learn that all cal,
bonded in England before the Ist of July will be admioih.,
