Mr. J. MARTIN then recommended that the motion be
withdrawn, and moved that tie House do ii OW adjourn.
Mr. CANING.---After expressing my intention to give a
tote in ',effect good humour, I cannot agree to the proposi-
tion to withdraw the motion. I shall meet it with determined
opposition. It is not the first time this motion was brought
for ward. When it was before the House two or three days
since, I begged the Worthy Alderman to consult his friendi,
telling him if it was brought forward it ought to he a serious
question. If it is withdrawn on this occasion, it will be trifling
the House.
After a few words from Mr. Brougham, the question was
T.ut and negatived without a division.

Ilot but know that ,heavy charges are brought
tigainst -ter Majesty,--will it save her character
to have them passed over without a trial ?

against her.

But who told you they are such wretches?
~CmoN CLAy.oua.—The Times Newspaper,

TILE SABBATH.

The habit of breaking the Sabbath being no-
toriously. prevalent, and as the evil, when carried
to any extent, iscalculated to sap, the, founda-
tions of the Christian Religion, and at once to
shake, the hope of infancy, and undermine the
consolations of age,- it therefore becomes every
well wisher to his Church, and every 'loyal sub-
ject of the State, to lend his individu4l aid (how-
ever feeble)' 'in checking the progress of crime
of so heinous' a nature. Under these conside-
.rations; the perusal of the following extracts of
the existing laws for the punishment of such
offences, will go far to remove an evil of the most
serious kind, as it respects both time and eter-
nity :

the AttorneY-General; Mr. Smith, Mr. Courtney,
Calcraft, Mr. Wrottesley, Mr. Calvert; and
the Chancellor .of the Exchequer, participated.—

On these grounds the aMendthents were agreed to.

REFORM PETITION.

Mr. Atclerm;;;WOOD said, he held in his band

Edmonds, in, behalf of the inhabitants of Bir-
mingham. He was aware, that imder.these
cir-
cumstances, the forms of the House would not
permit him to present it as the, Petition of the
Inhabitants of Birmingham. It complained of a
great variety of grievances, and.be was not aware
that it contained any objectionable matter. He
had, hesveveri had no opportunity of reading it,
and, he wished the whole of the Petition to he
read, that the House might have an opportunity
of judging for Itself.
Upon the suggestion of the -CHA:CCELtO ft of
the EXCHEQUEp., Mr. Alderman Wood consented
to withdraw the. Petition till to-morrow, observ-
ing, that he should not- have brought it foiward,
if he had supposed the House would sit to-
morrow.

BAMFF AND PETERHEAD HARBOURS.

Mr. IV. SMITH called the attention of the
House to two Memorials which had been pre-
sented some time ago, stating The damage which
had been done by a violent hurricane to the
works at Bamff and Peterhead Harbours, and
described at considerable length the peculiar
hardships of the case. The damage was esti-
mated at 6,0001. lie moved an humble Address
to his' Majesty, that he •would •be graciously
pleased to order a sum not less than 3,0001. to
the Commissioners of Highland Roads and
Bridges, for the purpose of repairing the Har-
bours of Batnif and Peterhead.
Mr. FERGUSSON seconded the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER should
have felt disposed to concur with the motion,
had it not been dangerous to create a precedent,
which might Rroduce a multitude of local appli-
cations- ot a similar nature, at a time when the
distresses of the Country, and the wants of the
State, rendered it impossible that such applica-
tions-should be attended to. The Treasury Board
had- therefore refused their consent to-the Peti-
tion, on the general principle of not applying
the public money to private undertakings. He
then moved the previous question.
Mr. FAnounAn hoped that the Right Hon.
Gentleman would at least take time to consider
the subject, as even on a principle of economy it
was .evident that relief should•• be granted, for
otherwise works 9f great public use, and which
had already- cost considerable expoise, would
remain unfinished, if they were not ultimately de-
stroyed..._ _

The -question was then put, and Mr. Wm.
.SmlTll'S.motion.negatived. •

EDUCATIO.

On the motion of Mr.- BEVNET, the Education
of the Poor Rai vas' read a second time. To

CoVENVGARDetst.-•,-The new Tragedy of Virgi-

any material alteration or transposition. It is
not a little creditable to the talents of Mr. MAc-
READY that lie retains strong attention, though
the essential interest of the play really ends with
the death of Virginia. Mr. C. KSlss LR, not-
withstanding the continuance of his hoarse-
ness, supports the .part of icilius with so touch
genuine teeing, so much animation and energy,
that he renders it full as prominent as any charac-
ter in the piece: We did not take due notice of
Mts. FAUCII' on the first repreientation of this-
Tragedy. Her prrfornianee of Servia, the foster-
mother of Virginia, was marked by feeling and
judgment,, Thltßv's Denintui is an impressive

with unabated approbation.

AGRICULTURE.

Petitions praying for he consideration of their
Agricultural disttesses were presented from tire
County of Cornwall ; from Glamnrganshire, by
Sir L. Core; and from the Western parts of
\Vi!tahire, by Mr. P. BENETT.
Mr. BENETT took occasion to say, that the
persons who signed the Petition- gave etuploy.
mem-to 50,000 mechanics vend labourers. 'I his
multitude was dependent upon thern, and there-
fore their Petition ought not to be considered as•
one founded on selfish motives He contended
that any relief granted to ihe agriculturists would
be a br-nefit bestowed upon the country at large.
General GA,scoloNs said a few words in depre-
cation of any teptal., of the Corn Bill.
Lord MietoN, adverting to the various peti-
tions which had been presented front manutac-
turinE., courtlier cial„ and agricoltural interests,
ob-
serveir, that these ought not to he received as
proof that either of these suffered exclusively.—
He, oo the contrary, held, that they showed the
country to be 'generally oppressed by h burden of
the same nature; and he merely rose 'to enforce
this opinion, and to stme his comei.iion that whcn
the subject was, it ever it shoUld be, invebtigated,
it would he found that to One cense the distress of
the whole was to be attributed,

General GAscowtsc-and Mr. BENNET mutually►
explained.
Mr. CORWEN wished to remove a prejudice
which. he. noticed to exist. The commercial and
agricultural bodies had not, as might. ma,st erro-:
neously be supposed, two separate and distinct _in-
terests. No relief could be given to the agricul-
turist without benefiting the merchant and. ma-
nufacturer ; and he hoped that if these matters
came to be referred to a Committee, care would
be taken to nominate upon it so many gentlemen
of weight and intelligence in commercial affairs as
would do away all prejudice and jealousy.
The Petition was ordered to-lie on the table,
and, with the others, to be printed.

FREE TRADE.

Sir M. W. Itint,Ey presented a Petition from
the Merchants,' Traders, and Manufacturers of
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, on the subject of the re-
strictions on Trade. Of the injuries sustained
from these restrictions they gave several instances,
and pointed not in particular the decline of our
trade to Norway and to •Holland. They paled
the House :n take into its Consideration the itn-
policy of the present system. They then d
to the Corn Bill, which they thought the cause
of many of the evils which they now etunplainett
of ; but they,did not wish the present law, to be
suddenly repealed, but wavedfor a gradual altera-
tion of the present laws affecting trade.—The Pe-
tition was ordered to lie On the table.

AGRICULTURE.

A petition from Aericulturists of Suffolk wFit
presented by Lord ERSKINE, which his Lordship
stated to have for its 'object not an increased pro-
tection as to the importation of foreign corn, but
an alteration in the mode of stating the AVerages,
so that the agrictilturists might have the lull be-
nefit of the Corn NH, ►t+hich at present availed
there little or nothing.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said; the petition
came from the same shop as many othert that had
been brought to Parliament—from that of Mr.
Webb Hall, who had so injudiciously stated the
case of the agriculturists, and who, he was sorry
to observe, had received an appointment from the
Board of Agriculture ; a circumstance whiCh he
considered highly mischievout. lie was not par-
ticularly an advocate for economical ftetorm, but
he should be happy
.to second any Noble Lunt ih
a proposition for getting rid of the expence of the
Boa'rd of Agriculture.

Lord ERhKINE contended that the petition
which be had:presented ha►t nothing to do with,
Mr. Webb Hall, and so convinced was lie of thee
propriety of the object sought by the petitioners,:
• that he should take an early opportunity of calling
the attention of the House to the subject.
The petition was ordered to he upon the table.
Two petitions, Irons Occupiers of Land in Wilt-
shire, were presented by the Marquess of Jittis•
DOWN, which his Lordship stated to be very re-
spectably signed, one set of petitioners occupying
55,000 acres, and the other set 29,000 acres ; he
1 could not, however, promise to support the object
of the petitioners, as he feared it might be found,
upon inquiry, that Parliament could provide no
remedy for the evils of which they complained,
and that they mint, in common with other classes,
continue to participate in the general distress.
The petitions were ordered to lie upon the
table.

A petition, from Agriculturists in Hertford-
shire, was presented by Lord DACRE, which his
Lordship stated to have for its object the better
rygniation of the Averages,- without which the
Corn Bill would continue, as it was at present,
inoperative.

Ordered to.lie upon the table.
Seven petitions, Irmo Occupiers of Lend in
Warwickshire, were presented by the Earl of
WAnwicK, and a similar one from Sussex by Lord
Viscount HAMPDEN, which were all ordered to lie
upon the table ; as was alp one front the Coun.y
of Edinburgh, relative to the Wool Duty, pre-
sented by Lord Viscount 11181.vmr.s.

Litters from the Canary Islands of the 19th ult. have ar-
rived. The termination of the revolution in Spain was not
:mown there up to that date, hut the inhabitants evinced a
strong disposition in favour of the Constitution. The pri-
vateers in those seas were not quite so numerous as they were
()using the latter end of last year, but one carrying 16 gnus

LINEN TRADE.

Mr. S. WORTLEY preeented n Petition from the
Linen Manufacturers of the Town of Kentottir, in
the Contil of Forfar, praying fora renewal of
the BOW'ORS on the.Ex'portation of Linen.
L rd MII,TON objected to giving Clew bounties
on exportation.

Mr. S. WoaTLaY said, the petitioners did not
apply tor new bounties ; they only desired to be
pl4cttl on the sane looting as their brother 'natio-
tactut ers in Ireland.

Mr. ROBRItTSON said, Government thought the
manufacturers in this part of the Erfipire entitled
to ['he slime protection as those in Ireland. One
set of laws on this. subject would expire in the
next year. Similar laws exiited in Ireland,wbich
would not expire so soon, and it was not unrea-
sonable that the present petitioners should expect
the benefit allowed to the• Irish manufacturers in
these bounties to be extended to them.

Sir I.Z. FERGUSON was of opinion, .that if the
bounties in question were not continued, three-
fourths of the labouring roanutacturets in that
part of the country from which the yeti ion came
would be.disinissen, and their employers ruined.
Mr. RICARDO viewed the tact of a bounty be-
:
thought necessary to bribe the foreign con-
sumer to buy, as a proof that that branch of
commerce could not be advantageously prosecut-
cd.—At this time of day lie thought that such
was not the line of conduct that ought to be
adopted—we aught not to continue the absurd
practice of bribing the consumer to take our
goods off our bands.

Sir JOEIN NIiWPOAT agreed with his Hon.
Friend in his general principle, but could not con-
sent that one part or,ly of the system, which had
bt:en so long building up, shouid be done away,
to the injury of some, and to the unfair advantage
of others.

Mr. Hums said, the Petitioners only asked to
be placed on the same footing with the manufac-
turers of Ireland, till the tvhole system should
be tev4ed.

Mr. W. PAWNEtt. Whiled for the et neral revi-
sion of the whole sysicat. _ _

Lord MILTON compated the case of free trade
to that of the middle•aged Gentleman who had
two wives, one of whom undertook to pull out all
his white hairs, while the other did al much for
all his brown ones, and thus between-them both
the poor man was left bald. While they heard
much in praise of a free trade, the Landed Inte-
rest came to Parliament for Corn• Bills ; the Ma-
nufacturers- for Bounties; and the consequence
was, he feared that MinisterS were induced to sa-
crifice to the partial interests of these patties the
general- good of the count' y.
After a few words (tom Mr. Runts/Isom., the Pe-
tition was ordered to be printed:
