that as Honourable Members could not deny or
meet the etse which had been brought forward on that
side of the House, they would not shrink from agreeing to the
abolition of those duties, which, in their conscience, they must
believe to be opposed to the truth and the interests of the
country.
Mr. VILLIERS said that he would only occupy the atten-
tion of the House for one or two minutes; but as there had
been a misrepresentation of what he had said, or at least a mis-
apprehension, he would beg to correct it. There was
not, in all the speeches of the Right Honourable Gentle-
men at the head of the Government and of the Home
Department, one word about relieving the distress of the
country, and yet it was to this that all his observations had
been directed. The Canada Corn Bill had been passed for
nothing more than to relieve the trade of that country from
the distress under which it lay, and not with any view to the
general interests of the country. The Right Honourable
Baronet :at the head of the Home Department had cer-
tainly been placed in a position very anomalous,
and of a very disagreeable kind. He had been obliged
to answer the arguments of his own supporters, and the
consequence was, that the Members for Lincolnshire and
Yorkshire were in a dilemma. They had asserted, that by
the introduction of 2,000,000 of quarters of corn, 800,000
people would be thrown out of employment. The Hon.
Me nber for Devonshire had asserted, that by the intro-
due' iJn of foreign corn wages would fall; whilst
the Right Hon. Baronet asserted directly that such would not
be the case. The Hon. Member for Dorsetshire had gone
to the east of the Mediterranean, to Smyrna, and all over the
world but to Dorsetshire ; and the only fact that he had eli-
cited was, that there was a great increase of crime in Dorset-
shire. All had combined to make him assured of ultimate suc-
cess. At present be knew he must be in a mino-
rity; but with this he would not quarrel ; for as his
Honourable Friend the Member for Stockport had
said, minorities in that House had very often been
turned into majorities, and under the apprehension of a ma-
jority against the motion, he felt grateful for the attention
with which they had listened to his observations on this im-
portant subject. ( The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst loud
cheers.)
The House then divided, when there appeared,
For the motion
Against it
Majority against the motion —l32
The Banking (Scotland) Bill Report was received, and the
third reading was ordered for Thursday next.
The House then adjourned at Half-past Two o'Clock.

MEMOIRS OF

PRINCE CHARLES STUART,
Commonly called

"THE YOUNG PRETENDER."
With Notices of the Rebellion in 1745.
BY C. L. KLOSE, Esq.

" In this work we have a connected biography, commencing with
his birth in 1720, and ending with his death in 1788, of an individual,
whose daring enterprise, singular adventures, and affecting trials,
have been the theme of poetry and romance in so many various
forms, that there are few personages more familiar to the public
mind. The volumes before us are a valuable accession to our histo-
rical literature. One cause why no biography of the Pretender has
been hitherto undertaken may be found perhaps in the fact that,
until lately, the materials for such a work were scarcely attainable.
Recently, however, much valuable and authentic information has been
placed within the reach of the biographer. Of this information Mr.
Klose has made diligent use, and skilfully blended it into a continuous
'Lenitive of great interest."—John Bull.

formed that, in the course of a few days will be published the Pro-

the present undertaking. Also the Prospectus of ANOTHER
PROJECT, wholly unconnected with the former, that will much
more effectually accomplish the ostensible object of the Newry,
Warrenpoint, and Rosstrevor Railroad.
