BERLIN, APRIL 21.—The .elevation of Mr.
Canning :to the dignity of Prime Minister has caused the
greatest sensation here, because:the previous report of it
was contradicted by persons who are usually well informed.

Mr. G. Dawson, • the Ex-Uniier-Secretary,
went over to the MinisterH coenehes last night, and sat
for some time with Mr. Prougham, enjoying a long and
apparently a very merry conversation with the Hon. and
Learned Gentlernr,n.

Their Lordships met to-day at a quarter before Four
o'clock.
Mr. OsuorusE, from the Commissioners of Margate
Pier and Harbour, presented the annual accounts as ordered
by the Act of Parliament.
Several private Bills were forwarded through their re-
spective stages.
Several petitions were presented from the County of
Oxford by the Marquis of ABINGLON, and from a parish
in the County of Roses, by Lord LAUDERDALE.-The pe-
titions were ordered to lie on the table-
COHN LAWS.

The Earl of AIALAIESBURY, in moving for copies,
or extracts from any correspondence which may have
taken place between the British Government and the Court
of Berlin in the years 1825 and 1826 on the subject of
the Corn Laws, said it would appear from Mr. Jacob's report,
that the Court of Berlin held language to us which he, as an
Englishman, could not sanction. Certain returns had within
the last three or four days been laid on their Lordships'
table, respecting the amount of English and Irish manufac-
tures exported to Prussia and Stettin. From the returns,
it appeared that in the year 1815 the value of English and
Irish manufactures exported to these places was 030,399/.
—The amount exported in 1896, was 157,1271.
• which was a reduction of more than four-fifths. In the
year preceding, the amount was 192,0001; There must,
observed his Lordship, have been some great cause for
this falling off, of which their Lordships were ignorant.
The average of the British and Irish manufactures ex-
ported within the last three years was 156,0001., and
the quantity of grain imported was 257,000 quarters.
In the three years preceding, the whole quantity of grain
imported was 26,000 quarters, whilst the ♦alue of the ma-
nufactures exported was 217,0001. This calculation clearly
showed that the prohibition of the Prussian grain was not
the cause of this falling off in the exportation, for it ap-
peared that a larger quantity of manufactures had been ex-
ported when the quantity of corn imported was less. His
Lordship was now speaking only of the Eastern portion of the
Prussian dominions, for it was well known that through
the Elbe and the Weser very large quantities of our manu-
factures had been imported. The Noble Lord concluded
with moving for the returns, which were ordered.
THE CATHOLIC QUESTION.

Lord FARNHAM presented a petition from the Pro-
testant Inhabitants of tile County of Wicklow, against
granting any further concessions to the Catholics. The
Noble Lord declined going into a discussion on the
merits of that question, but thus much he felt him-
self bound to say in answer to an observation made
by a Noble Lord on a former day, that there was
no growing feeling amongst the I'rotestants in Ire-
land in favour of the Catholic Claims. On the con-
trary they were becoming more and more convinced of the
inipolicy of such concession. A circumstance which the
Noble Lord attributed to the conduct of the Catholic Alli 0.•
ciation, and to the uncenstitutional interference of the
Priests during the late elections.—(Hear!)
Lord WICKLOW assured tkeir Lordships that the pe-
. .

tition did not express the feelings of the majority of the re-
spectable Protestants of Wicklow: Indeed he was con-
vinced that the proprietors of three-fourths of the county
of Wicklow were in favour of the just claims of their Ca-
tholic fellow subjects.—(Loud cries of hear.)
Lord FARNHAM in reply, said, that the greater put
of the county of Wicklow was the property of persons who
did not reside in the country, and who might be favourable
to the demands of the Catholics. But he was assured that e
majority of three or four to one of the resident inhabitants
were of a different way of thinking. The Noble Lord.ther
presented a pzt:=l.-,r .from the--Protestant inhabitant.
of Dublin. This petition was signed by the Lord Mayor
of Dublin, by the Vice-Provost, and three, or four of tht
Fellows, and by 500 of the Students of the University.__.
The signature of these young gentlemen he looked upon it°
a most important act; because, in all probability, ther
families were of a similar way of thinking. The Noble
Lord presented a petition to the same effect from the Cor-
poration of the Guild of Merchants in Dub:in. The peti-
tions were ordered to lie on the table.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS,

Sir ALEXANDER GRANT, and other Members from
the House of Cornrocos, brought up the Colts Dietrees
Bill (Ireland), to which they prayed their Lordehipe' con-
currence.
The Earl of LIMERICK observed, that this Bill was of
the utmost importance, and he trusted that full time would
be given for its consideration. The Bill was read a first
time, u were several others also brought up from the Com-
mon& —The House then adjourned,
