ELECTION PETITIONS.

IrnE SUN, LON

Honourable Baronet at the head of the Government,
whether he had received intelligence from Constan-
tinople, respecting an alleged imprisonment
Of the Emir Beshir, by th 2 Turkish government, and
also of the arrival of two Capidan Pachas at Beyroitt, on
their way to govern the province, lately under the ad-
ministration of the Emir.
Sir ROBERT PEEL begged the Gallant Commodore
to reserve his question until to-morrow, when he should
receive a full answer.
LORD ELLENBOROUGH.

In answer to a question from Mr. E. BULLER, re-
specting the salary of Lord Ellenborough,
Sir R. PEEL said that he . had no doubt whatever
that the compensation received by Lord Ellenborough for
the office to which he was appointed by his father when
Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, must, under
the law, be continued. A question might arise
whether under the Act passed at the time the
new charter was given to the East India Company, an
equal reduction ought not be made in the salary of per-
sons appointed to the Government of media, who held at
the same time situations in this country, but that was a
question between the East India Company and the
Governor-General of India. That was now under
the consideration of the East India Company. -When
he (Sir Robert Peel) in the performance of his
public duty offered Lord Ellenborough the appointment
of Governor-General of India. believing he was best
qualified to fill that office, he (Lord Ellenborough) said,
that he considered it would be hard, if the compensation
which was due to him, were forfeited ; but as
he . accepted office from a sense of public duty,
even though the office which he held fell within
the provisions of that Act, still it would not pre-
vent him from acce;.ting the office of Governor-General.
It was entirely a question for the decision of the East
India Company. He looked at the Act, and he appre-
hended the Treasury could not stop the compensation.
Mr. MITT made an observation, which was inaudible
in the gallery. • •

The following members were appointed Chairmen of
Election Committees :—Lord Ashley, Sir J. Y. Buller,
Mr. Divett, Mr. Home Drummond, Sir B. Hall, Sir E,
Hayes, Mr. Haytor,_ Mr. Hogg Mr. Reddington, Sir
P. M. Stewart, and Mr. Charles Wood.
Mr. V. SMITH presented a petition from the Mayor,
Aldermen, and Common Council of the borough of
Southampton, expressing dissatisfaction at the Corn-law
measure introduced by the Government, and stating their
conviction that the system would never be settled on any
sound basis except by a perfectly free trade in those ar-
ticles which form the necessaries of life.
A petition was presented by an Hon. MEMBER, on the
Ministerial benches, praying that the charge of the
County Rate be taken from the County, and placed on
the Consolidated Fund.

Mr SHAW presented a petition for regulating School
Education in Ireland.
' Colonel ACTON presented a petition from the High
Sheriff and Grand Jury of the County of Wicklow, cont.:
plaining that Ireland would be greatly injured if the
measures respecting corn, as proposed by Sir H. Peel,
were carried into effect, and expressing a conviction
that Ireland would be altogether ruined, if there were
not a sufficient protection to agriculture.
'Sir W. CLAY presented several petitions, praying
for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws.
Mr. BARCLAY presented three petitions, one from the
Wesleyans of Sunderland, and two others from places in
the county of Durham, with the same prayer.
Lord SANDON presented a petition (we understood
from Liverpool) praying the House to consider the
propriety of allowing foreign corn to be ground in
bond, under proper regulations.
Sir Q. STRICKLAND presented a petition from some
places in the West Riding of the county of York, praying
that every male, twenty-one years of age, and untainted
with crime, should be- allowedto vote in the election bf
Members of Parliament.

An HON. MEMBER presented a petition from York-
shire praying for an alteration in the Bastardy clauses
of the New Poor-law Bill.

NOTICES OF MOTION.
Dr. BOWRING gave notice that to-morrow week he
would move for the correspondence respecting the esta-
blishment of an English Bishop at Jerusalem.
THE CORN PRICES' AVERAGES.
Mr.:BARCLAY gave notice, that upon the Committee
entering upm this part of the Corn-law question, he
would move that no towns be added to those from which
the returns have been hitherto made up.
THE NEW POOR-LAW.
Dr. BOWRING begged to ask the Right Iron. Ba-
ronet whether he had any objection to lay before the.
'louse copies of a memorial, addressed to the Govern-.
ment (as we understood), complaining of certain pro-
c;!eJings of the Poor-law Commissioners, and also of the
c n-respondence that had taken place between those par=
ties on the subject ?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that if the Ho-
nourable Gentl.l`nan would put his question to-morrow
he (Sir James Graham) would be able to give a definite
answer. At present he had no objection to produce a
copy of the memorial, and of the answer.

sire • changes in the commerce of the country. The Hon. t
Member complained of riot having got an 'answer respecting
the intentions of the Government on this subject. If the
Hon. Member knew how many questions were sent privately
to him (Sir R. Peel) on this point and on that point, he would
feel how great was the difleulty of replying to all these inqui-
ries. He (Sir R. Peel) had no hesitation" in stating now,
that the Government had no intention of altering the law as
regards the importation of-foreign malt. With respect to
barley he thought he was justified in stating that, generally,
the soil of England was better fitted for the production of that
grain than that of other countries —( Hear, hear.) As
regarded the barley brought from France, or any
other country, inferences were to be drawn from the
investigation of facts generally, and not from any special in-
stances. His Hon. Friend had mentioned that barley was used
for food. In many parts of the country barley was used for
food; and in Yorkshire and Lancashire, ports with which he
(Sir R Peel) was well acquainted, oatmeal constituted part of
the food of the labouring classes.--( Hear.) This question
had been very fully discussed in it'27 and 1828; and he was
unwilling now, considering the extent to which oatmeal was
used for. food, unduely to increase the protection on oats ; but
they were not now discussing the question of oats, but of
barley. If they diminished the price of wheat, lie thought
they ought also to diminish the price of barley. Believing his
Hon. Friend's amendment to have been brought forward on
the ground that his (Sir R. Peel's) plan did not afford suffi-
cient protection to the barley g: ower, he must say that
he was hardly prepared for such an amendment from his Hon.
Friend ; because in every case where barley was consumed,
there was scarcely any difference between the scale of his llon.
Friend and his own. By his ( Sir R. Peel's) scale, when
barley was above 303. and ,under 31s. the duty would be es.,
and by his lion. Friend's scale the duty would be precisely the
same : the only difference between them was, that by his
(Sir R. Feel's) scale, when the price was under 265. in the
home market, the duty would be I Is., whilst by his Hon.
Friend's scale the duty would be 13s. Now he (Sir It. Peel)
thought that the reduction of protection which he proposed on
barley was founded on the same principle as that which
had induced him to diminish the protection on wheat;
he thought there would be no disturbance of the
present relations existing between barley and wheat ; but he
considered, that when the time had arrived for the reduction of
the protection on wheat, the time had also arrived to reduce
the protection on bailey, anti that was the principle on which
he had proceeded. He trusted that the impression of the
House would be, that the scale which he proposed bore a fair
relation to his scale for wheat; and he believed that there was
no fear of any danger arising to the barley groan from his
scale, or that it would much interfere with the barley interest.
Mr. WODEHOUSE said he had bad a communication with
the Speaker, upon the subject of his intention to move this
resolution—( Hear, hear)—and it was from the Speaker's lips
he had heard, that the proper course was that which he (Mr.
.Wodehouse) had adopted.
Mr. GREENE having said something, which was inaudible
in the gallery,
Mr. WODEHOUSE said it was upon that point he had
risen. Before Mr. Greene had taken the chair the Speaker
had seen the resolution—he (Mr. Wodelaouse) asked him, was
there any impediment in the forms of the House to move that
the consideration of the duties hereafter to be imposed upon
.barley might be deferred. The Speaker's answer was that
that could not he done whist the House was in Committee,
and that the roundabout course " of moving that the Chair-
man do leave the chair," should be adopted. That was the
cause why he (Mr. Wodehouse) had taken the course he was
so pecularly unfortunate to pursue.
Mr. GREEN E—What is your motion, now?
Mr. WODEIIOUSE—That you repeat the resolution to
the House.
After a few words from Mr. DARBY,
Major CUMMING BRUCE said he concurred that the
object of his Hon. Friend was, by deferring the subject, to give
her Majesty's Government time to reconsider it in all its bear-
ings. lie thought the scale proposed by her:Majesty's Govern-
ment, did not afford adequate protection to the cultivatiou of
grain. It was the opinion of intelligent men, farmers, corn
dealers; and others conversant with this, subject, that the pro.
posed scale of duties would involve consequences extremely in-
jurious to agriculture. The alteration in the law as respected
the duties to be levied upon wheat would cause a considerable
portion of land now employed in the cultivation of wheat to be
emplojed in the cultivation of oats and bat ley ; and it there -
fore became more important to the agriculturists of the United
Kingdom that those grains should be adequately protected.
it appeared that the protection proposed for barley and oats was
lower than that proposed for wheat. The reduction per cent.
of the protection was higher against barley and oats than it was
against wheat. The reduction in the protection to wheat was
45 per cent., while the reduction in the protection to barley
was 54 per cent , and that in the protection to oats 59i per
cent. Now it had never been said that barley and oats would
not bear a higher protection than wheat ; in fact, no comp'aint
had even been made on the subject of the protection to those
grains. With respect to the Scotch corn grower, he would ob-
serve, that the freights from the north of Scotland to London
were nearly as high as those from the Baltic, and that the port
charges in London were the same on Scotch grain as on foreign
grain, so that the Scotch corn grower was excluded from the
protection which those charges afforded to the English corn
grower, and which had been dwelt upon with so much empha-
sis by the Right Hon. the Vice-President of the Board of Trade.
Oats imported at 235. would bear e duty of tis. This showed
that the Scotch agriculturists required a highe figure to pro.
tact them. An English farmer could send his corn to market
for 2s. a quarter : but an extensive Scotch farmer lately told
him that he (the farmer), in sending 200 quarters of oats to
market at 18s., he had to pay 3s. 6d. a quarter to get it con-
veyed to the shore, and then ss. freight. In short, the new
law would take away all encouragement ft-6m the grower of oats
in Scotland ; and if it were passed, as it stood at present, the
existing distress of Scotland must be greatly increased, in con-
sequence of the number of persons thrown out of *employment.
He believed, with regard to prices, that when the demand was
great, prices would be high ; but when prices fell, the corn sent
to this country would be a complete bugbear, and would be sold
at any price that could be obtained for it ; and by. 'that
means drag down the price of wheat in the country.
Such had been the improvement in the cultivation of foreign.
barley that it was now frequently imported at a weight of from
521bs. to 50,bs, per buchel. Such barley was perfectly fit for
malting, if it had not been long in store before it was brought
into this country. Under thee circumstances he had no
doubt that there would he a great competition in the qualities
of Barley used for malting. He had also some remarks to make
on the duty on beans; they formed an important part of
the rotation of their crops in Scotland when pre-
paring for wheat. The lowest remunerating price
for beans was 355. a quarter, the highest duty on importivion
was I Is. Now last year Mehemet Ali had imported to this
country 50,000 quarters, which were sold duty and all ex-
penses paid, for 28s. a quarter. It would be imps ihle to
compete with this, and the present proposed duty would be a
total prohibition of the home growth. He therefore trusted
her Majesty's Government would reconsider that part of the
scale whi h referred to these deeeriptions-01-grain. He shou!d
take warning, however, by what had occurred to the Hon.
Member for Lincolnshire; and as he was also one of the "skir-
mishers" that had been alluded to, if he could not get the Go-
vernment to change their position, he should fall back on the
main body rather than fall into the hands of the enemy.
The scale of duties proposed would cause a fall in the value of
land in Scotland of 25 per cent., causing distress to the land-
lord and tenants, who hold under leases, and the peculiar
nature of niany tenures there would not allow the proprietors
to reduce their rents. In conclusion, he would only say that
he too much appreciated the great advantages which the
country enjoyed in having not only a strong, but an honest
and upr gilt Government. And be would not put such a Go-
vernment in jeopardy for any proposition they might melee on
the Corn-laws.—( Hear, hear ) Whether as regarded ilia own
feelings or the opinions of his constituents, he would rather
submit to larger concessions than endanger their stability. But
he could not see how a certain mod fication in the scale of
duties on barley and oats could be rejected, if it were proved
to be for the salvation of the agriculturists of the couutry, or
why the Government should be obstinate in adhering to their
scale ; yet if it were persevered in, and bad consequences were
to follow, they would have the satisfaction to believe that it
would not be persevered in in consequence of any hostility to
the agriculturists of the country, but that a sincere desire to
maireain and promote their prosperity, had been the object
and motive of her Majesty's Ministers.—( Hear, hear. )
After a few words from Colenel fluent:our which did not
reach the gallery,
Lord W ORSLEY said that an lion. Gentleman opposite
(Mr. C. Bruce) had stated that he thought the proposed
amount of protection to the growers c.-f barley was insufficient,
but as the measure came from an honest Government, sooner
than displace that Government, he would withdraW his opposi-
tion to the proposal. Now he ( Lord Woreley) was ready to
admit the good intentions of the Governm- nt, but at the same
time he' should say that they were mistaken in thinking that
the protection they proposed. to give would be sufficieet. He
should say from communications he had had with intelligent far-
mers of different political opinions, that the whole body seemed
to be unanimously of opinion that the existing, protection was
not too great to the home grower of barley ; and they did not
think it possible they would continue to cultivate their land for
that crop with a less protection. A friend of his had lately' told
him lately that in correquence of the proposition of the Govern-
ment, only 225. had during the last week been offered fur bar-
ley in his part of the country, and the maltsters stated
that if that proposition were carried, they would
get the greater part of their barley from Amerieti:e
It must be recollected that none but the finest barleys were
included in the averages. There was a very great quantity
included.

As far as he had been able to ascertain with respect to his own
country there was but one opinion on this subject.' As re-
garded the alteration in the duty on the importation of foreign
wh -at the common expression was that they' must grin and
bear it ; but he trusted that the ease was not so hopeless with
respect to barley. He feared that if these resolutions passed
there would be agricultural distress added to manufacturing
distress. That number of persons who now cultivated land
would be thrown out of employment and find no other means
of obtaining a subsistence. If the forms of the House had per-
mitted, he should hive moved that the duties with regard to
spring corn should remain as they were at present. From
that, however, he was precluded by the decision upon the mo-
tion of his Hon. Colleague. But with respect to the duties on
barley and oats he could not see why any change whate ter
should have been proposed. As he had stated before, he re-
gretted extremely that the measure had been brought forward.
He gave tho Government credit for believing that it would
afford sufficient protection, arid that it would be a settlement of
the question ; at the same time he differed from them in opi-
nion, and should feel it his duty to offer every opposition to its
passing into a law.—( Hear, hear. )
Mr. CHRISTMAS said he was quite aware that any gen-
tleman on that (the Ministerial) side of the House
who engaged in a skirmish against her Majesty's Govern-
ment, was placed in no enviable position. He wished, however,
to call the attention of the House to the state of' this question
as regarded Ireland. A vast deal of a'arm existed in that
country in feference to the proposed change. He had that
day presented a petition of his, not from the monopolising
agriculturists as they were often called, but from the Chamber
of Commerce of the city, which he had the honour to represent,
praying for an increase of the duty upon oats and barley.—
(Hear, hear.) Oats were not generally grown in England but
in Ireland. This crop employed a greater number of the popu-
lation, who supplied this country, as might be inferred from
the fact that, while England imported from 1826 to 1841,
3,98 -,969 quarters of foreign oats, she imported nearly
12,000,000 quarters of foreign wheat. The withdrawal of the
protection for oats from Ireland, would increase the 1000,000
unemployed persons to 2,000,000 or 3,000,000, so that the
workhouses could not hold them. And it should be borne in
mind that in. Ireland there were no manufictures to fall back
on as here. Since the passing of the present Act, there had been
iruporteelirsto this country from Ireland, 27,914,039 quarters of
oats, valued at 2,000,0001. It would, therefore evidently be dan-
gerous to, throw this kind of grain out of cultivation, for most
certainly the foreigner could beat the Irish oats out of the
market, under the proposed scale—a result that she more parti-
eulaely avoided, considering that Ireland had now the burthen
of Poors'-rates, for the first time, thrown upon her. The
three places on the Continent, from which the largest impor-
tation of oats might be expected, were Petersburgh, Elsinore,
arid Hamburgh. The price at Petersburgh was from 12s. to
14s. ; at Elsinore, from 12s. to 16s. ; and at Hamburgh, from
14s. to 165.: so that they might consider the average price to
be 13s. a quarter. To this they would have to add
2s. a quarter for freight ; and that, wi'h a duty of 65., foreign
oats could be brought into the British market at 21s. a quarter.
.The price of oats was also always lower in Ireland than it was
in England; and, therefore, be thought he wasjustified in aaying
that the proposed scale did not afford sufficient protection to the
Irish grower. He should be sorry to do any thing to obstruct
