SECOND EDITION.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

IMPERIAL PA RLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The London Harbour Bill was read a third time, and
passed.
Lord SIDMOUTH presented a petiton from Reading,
praying for the abolition of slavery.
Sir Alexander Grant and others brought up the Bill for
carrying into effect the treaty between his Majesty and the
Emperor of Brazil, for the final abolition of the Slave
Trade ; the New South Wales Administration of Justice
Bill ; the Dissenters' Marriage Bill; the Leith Police Bill ;
the Remedies against Hundreds Bill ; the Criminal Justice
Bill ; and the Larceny Consolidation Bill.
Mr. Tomlyns, from the Treasury, presented a return of
the number of bank-notes in circulation.

Lord ROSLYN presented a petition front Dover,
against the importation of foreign wool.
A similar petition was presented from a place in the
county of Suffolk.
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY asked when he
might gain any information respecting the papers which
he asked for some time ago ?
Lord GODERICH said, I cannot answer specifically
for the time, but the papers are in due progress, and shall
inquire and let the Noble Lord know. Perhaps I may
take this opportunity of answering two questions which
were put to me yesterday, and when, undoubtedly, some
comments were made on my net being in my place
to answer them. With respect to that, my absence did not
arise from any disrespect to your Lordships, or from any
unwillingness on my part to discharge my duties in your
Lordships' House, however unpleasant the discharge of
those duties may be. The fact of my individual absence
arose from indisposition, but which was removed in the
course of the day. With regard to the absence of
any Noble Friends of mine, I certainly was asked,
whether I thought there was any necessity for their
being in their places yesterday. There stood no busi-
ness of any importance, nor seemed to be any thing of con-
sequence for that day, therefore I said it did not appear to
me there was any cause for their presence. For my own
part I should have been present but for the reason I have
adverted to, and I think I have not shown, since I
have been a Member of your Lordships' House, any
disposition to absent myself. My Lords, I must say,
that if my Noble Friends bad put those questions
direct to me, or given me any notice that they meant to
have put them, I certainly should have endeavoured to
leave been present, and felt it my duty to have given an-
swers to them whatever the difficulty might have been
but it cannot be expected I am to anticipate questions.
The first was, whether it was my intention to proceed with
the Average Bill ? That Bill propose many improvements,
and I propose to read it a second time to-morrow, should it be
convenient to the House. The other question related to
the point how is was proposed with reference to a measure
not now before this House, to regulate the taking of
the averages by which the importation of Corn should
be known, and whether it should he taken weekely
as proposed in the Bill which has not been proceeded in,
or whether it should be taken according to the Amendments
in the Committee? My answer to that it, that I have
every reason to 'believe that the Bill to come up will
contain a clause regulating the mode of taking the averages
on the same principle as that adopted by the Committee of
this House on the other Bill.
The Marquis of SALISBURY considered it very import-

• .
ant indeed to the agriculturist to ICIOW what saepromo moue
of taking the average of the prices of Cora, was to be
throughout the United Kingdom. He hoped the Noble
Lord would turn this over in his mind, and move some
amendment respecing it.
The Earl of MALMESBURY wished the Noble Lord
would lay before the House some proposition which would
enable the House to discuss the question fairly wad fully.
It was of essential importance for the House to have an
accurate return of the quantity of corn in bond.
Lord GODERICH would endeavour, befere the House
rose, to give notice, as nearly as he could, of what his mo-
tion should be.

Lord LAUDERDALE thought it impossible that the
House could have any return with regard to the quantity
of corn imported from Canada, so that the House with re-
spect to that quarter, would have to labour in the dark.
