the happiness of all—that some might be for a monarchical
and others a republican form—yet the worst of all Govern-
ments was that which had not strength to support
itself but exist upon the sufrerenca of others.—(Cheers.)
He did not of course say that the continuance of a Government
ought to depend upon its power of carrying a majority in that.
House upon all minor questions, but he thought that on questions
which were considered essential to the public welfare, it was iufi..
nitely better for the public welfare—if the House was of opinion
that the measures of the Government ought not to be adopted,
the confidwrice of the House and country should be transferred
to those who were able Cu propose measures better suited to the ex•
isencies of the times.
Mr. BROT'HERTON rose amidst much confusion to move the
adjournment, but
Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose and said he wished to say one
word in answer to the Right Hon. Baronet. The Bight Hon.
Baronet bad alluded to an expression or his (Lord J Russell's), and
said it was contumelious to Hen. Members o;,' that House. Now
that expression of his—which expression he did not wish either to
explain or to withdraw—did not apply generally to any class of
Members.—(" Oh, oh.") But there were Members of that
House, who, It appeared, the farmers of the country. supposed had
given their adherence to the existing law respecting, corn, and who
supposed that they were is favour ofic present prohibition and
protection against the rivals of other climes. The farmers were,
it seemed, not aware of the sound commercial principles which it
appeared from the Right flon. Gentleman's speech were held by
Members upon that (the Ministerial) side of the House. Those
Members had rosireptesented Lira (Lord J. Russell). They bad re-
presented him as the bitter enemy of the farmer, and had repre-
sented their (the Opposition) conduct as generally hostile to the
farmers. That expvcrsion he had a right' to resist : he felt he had
a right to resent it. The expression ha had used was tint with any
refere,,se to the supporters ul th:s. Inca :Aires cline Right Hon. Ba-
ronet, but to several of these who seemed strongly t connect them-
selves with the Corn-laws.
Mr. BROTHER-1'o:; said he was very glad the Noble Lord had
followed the example of the Eight 'loll. Baronet.—(Hear, hear,
~'n,ll cheers.) The Right lion. Baronet had made a speech that
would bare been much snore effective on another day, lie had lost
his temper, and areided the rules of the House. The Rt. lion. Bart.
had deprecated the course pursue.' by the lion. Member for Fins.
bury, and yet Hon. Gentlemen opposite had adopted a similar course
themselves, lie (Mr. Brotherton) was quite satisfied with the
Comae he had taken in moving the adjournment of the debate at
half-past one o'clock.—(Laughter.)
_ _

Sir R. PEEL said he was quite sure he had not lost his temper.
He had taken particular care not to infringe the rules of the House,
and he had acted on the almost universal opinion of the House by
taking the course he did.
Mr. WAKLEY said he hoped the Speaker would be kind enough
to let them know whether there had been any evasion of the rules
of the House.
The SPEAKER said it appeared to him that the Right Hon.
Gentleman was perfectly in order. A motion had ;)een made to ad-
journ the question, and it was clear that the motion involved the
main question. He considered the Right Hon. Baronet was per-
fectly in order.
Dr. BO WRING then moved the adjournment of the debate to
Monday next.
The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the
House Adjourned at (Ltorter to Two o'Clock.

HAPPINESS OF TENANTS-AT-
WI LL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I wish to draw the attention of the public to the
doings of the landlords throughout Wiltshire.
Within the last six months a rise, or notice to rile, to the
extent of 2,0001. per annum, on the Mar9uis of Bath's estate, in
the neigbourhood of Warminster, has taaen place. Lord Ash-
burton is the executor for this estate. Many other noblemen
and gentlemen have given notice of a rise. Tile Duke of Marl-
borough's tenants have all been raised, some to the extent of
35 per cent.
The notice to raise is given in this way :—" You shall pay
an increase of so much on your farm from this present quarter,
or I shall give you notice to quit at the expiration of your time
or term, if you do not agree to it."
The Duke of Marlborough's notices were retrospective,
and compelled the tenant either to rrsigu the tatm at the ex-
piration ut his present year, or pay the increase on one or two
years back.
None of the farmers ever tell their labourers the story about
keeping up the price of bread on i:urpose to keep up the price
of labour. They would be scouted if they did. Many of the
labourers have told me that they never were so well off as
when corn neeat 16s. and 18s. per sack ; then they had 6s.
per week, now, and when it was 40s. per sack, they are paid Ss.
per week. All Wiltshire labourers speak of cheap bread as a
blessing and dear bread as a curie.

THE MARKETS:--(YESTERDAY

The arrivals of all Grain since Monday have been moderate.
There was rather more cluing in Wheat than on Wednesday,
but Monday's terms were haHly aupport-d. Barley of good
qullity rather dearer. Oats firm, with alt low sale. Flour as
last. reported.

The supply was modera,e, and there being but few of the
trade in attendance the demand was by no means brisk ; prices
rather lower. Beasts 492 ; Sheep and Lamhs 5.3e0 ; Pigs
