f..npr,\•our:ty of Durham, respecting the :.ppoitttment of Dr. Phil-

ilaarkhed to ask the Secretary of State whether that was intended.

el Hear from the Opposition.)

*tittles to his Majesty on the subject. (Loud cheering.)
le sl BELGRA WE presented two petitions from congregations in
tiksfield, fur the abolition of negro slavery.
Mr. HUM E presented ► petition from the parish of Marylebone for
afreituctian of taxation and for parliamentary refwm. They complained
that the majority of the house were returned by the undue influence of
pttrs,and other wealthy persons.and the treuury that they had no hope
of redress till the monopoly in the mani,facture of member: of parliament
was removed. ( A laugh.) He was delighted to find the voice of the
country raised to procure the abolition of that monopoly, which had
',aught England into its present unnatural state, where wealth and
luxury. beyond what was ever known in any other country, were seen,
on the one hand; and the extreme of misery on the other. The taxes
et !Ms country were beyond an" ever known in any other country in
the world. The ministry hod made tip their minds not to afford relief
nr ret;n-m—at least, the noble duke at the head of the government had said
none should take place in his time ; he could only say, Gots grant that
his time may be short. --Discontent existed in the cenntry, and he
hoped those who now possessed the power of government would not
drive it further. It was evident, front what the right hon. gentleman
had so cooly said of Dr. Philpott's holding his parish of 4,0001. a-
year with his Bishoprick, that no robin in the Church was intended.
The biome should take the question of reform into their hands, as they
could hope for welting front ministers. If they could make the neees.
sat y reform, they could reduce the taxes seven or eight millions. They
might do more, the corn laws pressed to the extent of ten or twelve
millions on the people, and did not benefit the landlords one million.
I:either relief might be given by transferring seven or eight millions from
the industry of the country to capital. In this way relief to the extent
of twe'ty.lit•e millions might be given in a single session, employ-
tne7t greatly increased. and the poor rates greatly diminished. As mi.
nisters refused all relief, he hoped the house would compel them to re-
tire from their plates.
