The Bishop of CHESTER presented a Petition from the
Gentry, Merchants, and Clergy of Manchester, against the Ca-
tholic Peers' Bill.—On the question that it be read being put,
Lord SUFFIELD stated, that be had received a direct con-
tradiction to the title which the Petition assumed. It was said
to be from the Gentry and Merchants, as well as from the
Clergy of Manchester, and he held a letter in his hand which
instructed him to say, that it came from the Clergy alone, and
that there was not one of the leading ' or Merchants, and

to _ general community of Great Britain,
have found the poverty and distress of Ireland, and the great
deficie:4i of the accustomed food of Potatoes of the Southern
and Western %'rovinces, to be very extended and general, and
the suffering of the people extreme and increasing. 'They anal-
tingly hope, that the assistance afforded by the Government, by
the Proprietors, or Residents in those Districts, who have pro.
perty Or means, and, by the humane and liberal sympathy of
England, has tended, in some degree, to mitigate this great dis-
tress and moss severe Want ; but they feel themselves, by their
position, obliged publicly, to declare; that the evidence they have
of their existence, through nearly one-third of Ireland, contain-
ing a opulation of nearly two millions, is • such as is render it
indispensable for them to continue to call on the generous sym-
pathy of Englishmen of all ranks and classes, to contribute to
the mitigation of the extreme distress and misery in Ireland, to
which the most general and liberal beneficence cannot be wholly
from this time to the middle of August next, however
nobly and usefully it be suited to assist in the seneral efforts for
mitigation or relief.
The deaciency of the crop of potatoes of the last seams,
throu&hotat the Southern and Western Provinces of Ireland, and
the discovery made, Ws late, by the peasantry, that of that part
of thtir crop saved and stored a large proportion had perished
in the , its, through the unsoundness of the growth, have toge-
ther lie,n a principal cause of the present sudden and lamentable
scarctiy of the accustomed food of the poorer class of a nume-
rous is.)2u
Tbr Committee have every reason to rely on the spontaneous
liberality and sympathy of the inhabitantrof Great Britain, to
affot:i their generous aid, in the pressing calamity of the hour, in
a manner to avert the danger of more extended suffering and

By Order of the Committee,
MICH. W. TROY, Hun. See.

Gentry or
only three Inhabitants of the Town of Manchester present at
the Meeting at which the Petition had been adopted. It was
also a remarkable fact, that many of the names were in the same
hand-writing. He knew not whether the fair sex were allowed
the right of Petition ; but it appeared that three. Ladies' names
had been originally subscribed. Mary Mill, Margaret Robin-
son, and Ann Thompson. The female appeliatives of Mary,
Margaret, and Ann, had been afterwards crossed, and the male
ones of William, Henry, and John, substituted in their stead.
It was clear, therefore, that the Petition had been got up in an,
extraordinary manner, and was not that which it was repre-
sented to be.
The Bishop of CHESTER said that he bad received several,
letters, together with the Petition, which came from the most
respectable quarter, and which all concurred in giving to the
Petition the character which it assumed.
After a conversation between Lord Kim and the Bishop of
Cusasits,
Lord SUFFIELD' said that had it not been for the shortness
of the time before the second rearing of the Catholic Bill, which
then stood used for that very day, a Counter-Peddim would
have been sent up.
The LORD CHANCELLOR then took .the Petition to
examine its signatures, and the House proceeded with other
boldness.
Lord ROLLE presented a Petition from the Parish of St
John's, Exeter, against the Catholic Peers'. BUL
Lewd HOLLAND complained that the Petition described
the Bill as Mr. C,anning's Bill, which might be maddened a
breach of the privileges of the other House, as the measura, vela'
not chit of one individual alone, but of the whole of that House.
He did not wish, however, that the Petition should be rejected
.on that ground. He wished on the contrary, to throw wee
the doors of the House to Petitions from all sides.--The
don was then laid on the table.
The Marquie of ANGLESEA presented a Petition front the
Borough of Carnarvon, in North Wales, against the Catholic
Bill.—Laid on the table.
The Duke of BEAUFORT presented Petitions to the same
effect, from the Parishes of St. John the Baptist, ard St. Mary,
Redcliffe, in the City of Bristol, and from the Arehdeaconry of
Gioucester,T-Laid on the table.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a similar Petition from
the Dean, Archdeacon. and Clergy, of Chichester, and another
from 945 inhabitants of Chichester and its vicinity.—Laid on
the table.
the LORD CHANCELLOR then stated that he had
looked at the Manchester Petitions and that it was perfectly
true that one lady had signed it, and that besides three female
signatures hail been crossed and turned into male ones But
wh ,t appeared still mare pressingly to demand inquiry was the
tact that many names were in the same hand-writing. It was
proper that their Lordships should be informed how that bad
come to pass.
The 1:isoop of CHESTER said, that it •here was any irregu-
larity in the Petition, it had been entirely unknown to him.
Lord HOLLAND did not object to the signature of an old
woman, although he should to the language of an old woman
in any Petition presented to that House, and was disposed to
receive that submitted by the Rev. Prelate, notwithstanding
all its irregularities.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that if their Lord-
ships allowed doubted Petitions to be received without inquiry,
they might have some presented as from 70,000 persons, when
they were not those of twenty individuals. He did not make
the female signature a ground of objection. but he conceived it
necessary to ascertain why so many names happened to be in
the same hand-writing.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN suggested the propriety of
deferring the receiving the Petition, in order to communicate
with the persons by whom It had been sent.
After a few words from the Bishop of CHISTER, the Petition
was withdrawn.
Lord SUFFIELD wished to inquire of the Noble Earl op.
posite whether the abolition of 13s. out of the 15s. duty now
existing upon salt, would be attended with the abolition of the
right of search and of all other regulations which had proved so
inconvenient to the fisheries, and had prevented their growth
and prosperity?
The hirer of LIVERPOOL replied, that the subject in
question was under the ersideration of the other House, and
that it was nut for him to pretend to say how fat it might mo-
dify its different branches. It was obvious, however, that as a
considerable drawback had been hitherto granted to the fisheries,
and as many of the regulations which had proved inconvenleit
to them were connected with that drawback, they must become
no longer necessary when the abolition of the general tax would
occasion the drawback to cease. The equalization of the small
remaining duty would probably be attended with the removal
of all those regulations.
Lord SUFFIELD then presented a Petition from the Inha-
bitants of the Town and County of Nottingham, in favour
of the Rill to prevent Cruelty to Animals, and another from
the Parish of St. Matthew, Bristol, praying for the revision of
the Criminal Code.—Laid on the table.—Adjourned till Monday.

lanately escaped with only the fright, several Gentlemen having
with difficulty released her.

Mosses or as. DoNarre.—A man who was brought from
Birmingham, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of
llrs. Oonatty, underwent an examination at Bow-street yester-
day. The civunistances of suspicion against him were, that be
was very Intimate with the family of the servant girl of Mrs.
Donatty, was godfather to one of their children. and bad left
London, soon after the discovery of the murder ! The parties
who had seen a suspicious man about the door of Mn. Donatty,
declared trim sotto be the person. The atoned, on being dis-
charged, appeared very indignant at the proceeding, and declared
he would suck legal redrew.
•

Gentleman then read part or the conimonieatioti which he INC
mentioaea. It set forth, that the Bill fee removing the Poor
would diminish the number of appeals at the Quipster Sessions.
'lbis, the welter observed, would bear hard on the young Bar.
rasters, and Attornies, who had strorg claims to the proCeetien
Government ; and therefore it expressed a hope that that part
of the Bill which bad been particularly alluded to, would be re-
punged, as it would be manifestly unjust to the Barristers and
Attornies, toadopt a measure which would diminish their prae- 1
tice—( A laugh). The Learned- Gentleman acid be ham. read
this to give the Home a correct idea of some of the 'views of i
'those who were opposed to the Poor Removal Bill. •
Mr. MONCK gave it as his opinion, that the number of cases
likely to grow out of the new law, if the Bill now in the House
should pass, would afford the Barristers and Attornies a better
harvest than they enjoyed at present.
Petitions spins* the WI were then presented front North.-
rum North Byerly, from the Guardians over the Parochial Poor
ei the Chapel of St. Andrews, of All Saints, of St. John and St.
Nicholas, in the town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; from Kidder-

tiered to be printed.
Mr. CALVERT presented a similar Petition from the Parish

,►lr. W. COURTENAY presented a Petition from the Cur-
tiers, Tanners, and other dealers in Leather of the City of

no relief to the Public.
After a few words from Mr. BrAuworr, the Petition was or.
dered to be printed.
Mr. LITTLETON wished to put a question to the Attor-
ney-General. Certain Bankers, and others, in the central Coun-
ties, had made several representations on the manner in which
Extents in Aid wete abused and made subservient to private
views of interest or revenge. He thought the Session ought
not to close without their knowing whether any steps were
taking to correct the evil?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, it was his intention to
propose the adoption of a rule, which, in his judgment, would
completely remedy the evil. He meant to propose that it should
be necessary to apply to the Court for full powers to use an
Extent in Aid, which would not be granted but to mover for
the Crottn.

men resident in the town of Sheffield, complaining of the injury

IMr. HUM E was sure that if the duty on West India Sugar'
•was to be brought down to In or eos. the revenue on it would
Ibe greater than now.—The Petition was then ordered to lie as
the table, and to be printed.
IMr. CANNING had Petitions to present of a contrary nu
tore to the last : they were from Liverpool, praying for relief
from the duties on East India sugar. The prayer of the Peti.
dots from London was against the alteration in the Navigation
Laws, as far as regards East India Commerce.—The Petitions
were ordered to lie on the table, and to be printed.
Mr. ELLIS presented a Petition from the Agents to the
West India Colonist, praying for a Lin to perfect and continue
their rights.— Laid on the table.

given notice for the sth, to the 11th June.
Mr. BEAUMONT presented a Petition from the Tanners
and Currier of Hezham, on the subject of the proposed alter-
ation in the L ether Tax.—Ordered to be printed.
CHETWYND presented a Petition from the Tanners
and turriers of the Borough or Stafford on the same subject.
He, for one, could not refrain front expressing his satisfaction at
what Government had done to relieve the country ' • and he did
not think that they ought to be pressed for a further remission
of taxes at present. If it were said that much bad .not been
done that went directly to relieve the agricultural interest, he
would say he knew not what measure could have been adopted
that would give them the relief they wanted. He had con-
versed with several farmers on the subject of their distress, and
they had all cieciared to him that the worst burden of which
they complained was their rent. He had little doubt that the
question on agricultural distress would shortly resolve itself into
a question between landlord and tenant. The next subject of
complaint was the Poors' Rates. If the rent were lowered and
the Poor,: Rates reduced, which he thought might be looked for
from the measures proposed to be adopted, he thought, in ano-
ther year, the situation of the farmer would be very different
from what it had lately been.—The Petition was ordered to
be printed.
Mr. LENNARD said a question was put to the Noble Lord,
on a former night, relative to the Independent States of Ame-
rica, and their recognition by this country. The Noble Marquis
then referred his lion. Friend to a clause in a Bill now before
the House. He had referred to that Bill, and could find nothing
on the subject, except a clause permitting the importation of
goods from those States. He could not but regret that a more
distinct recognition had not taken place, and he was desirous
now o, knowing whether the Noble Lira had any further coat-
munifation to make on the subject?
The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said he had no farther
communication to make.
Petitions were presented from Ipswich against the Poor Re-
moval Bill ; from the Tanners of Tiverton, praying the entire
repeal of the Leather Tax ; from Reading, against the License
System Amendment Bill; from Plymouth, Tuffield in Derby-
'hire, Belfield in Derbyshire, and otiur places in that County,
against the Poor Removal Bill.
Mr. CANNING presented a Petition from the Merchants
of Liverpool engaged in the East India trade, complaining of
the restrictions on the tonnage of shipping engaged in that trade
as impolitic, oppressive, and inexpedient. The Right lion. Gen-
tleman said, ill presenting this Petition he must express the satis-
faction he felt at hearing it was intended to make some altera-
tions in the regulations on this subject.
Mr. C. WYNN said these regulations were introduced into
the Company's Charter in I{l3, and could nut therefore be al-
tered but with the consent of the Company. Ile was happy to
state that the Company had listened to the representatious made
I to them, and consented to alter these regulations and admit ships
of inferior tonnage into this trade; and he accordingly gave no-
,' lice that he would, on Monday, move for leave to bring ins Bill
on this subject.
1 General GASCOYNE asked, if it was likely the Company
Iwould make any concessions as regarded the China trade?
Mr. W YNN•said he was not awace that the Company were
incliued to give up anything on this head.
l• After a few words from Mr. Caernso and Mr. G. Bunsen
the Petition was received.
