slernment that power, which alone may be exercised by thew,
without infringing on the prineiples of the constitution; a pier

eulated tot the rnetal .af. ty of the people; and, as a friend of the

for oho perm nolo and. satisfactory settlement of the lase on Ate int.

( 01. TRENCH contended that the interests of Ireland were,
tlreply affected by the proposed change in the Corn Laws.
Lord A LT Holt la opposed the motion.
Colonel DAVIES said; he should support the proposition of Mi-
nisters, but would prefer a bnal adjustment.of the Corn Laws.
Mr. DENETT said, he still felt all his opposition to the measure,,
'l4, tire Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Canning) had so skilfully
thrown dust in the eyes of the country Gentlemen that he knew it
wain vain to argue it—.(A laugh).
fir W. W. WYNN supported the motion. •
Nr. W. WHITMORE supported the motion, but thought Mi.
sister* had not acted with a sound discretion, by refusing to take
lart.consideration!he whole qucetion of the Corn Laws.

Lord MILTON shosid nut oppose the motion, but thought the
question of the Corn Laws ought to have been fully gone into ; and
he was confident, if the country Gentlemen would apply their minds
to the subject, they would discover that their present opinions were
erroneous, and that their interests were identified with those of all
other classes=( Gear, hear.) He hailed the present. measure as the
harbinger of one that would settle :he question, of the Corn Laws,
Which he thought ought to be done in the.preeent Session—(Hear.)
Mr. CA LC KA F said he could not entristito that there was any
cause to apprehend a scarcity of corn, wails was new 7s. a quartet
lower than at this time last year. But he could net set up his nom
opinion against that of Aliniiters, and therefore could not refuse
them the rtKpon-ihility they were voi willing to take on themselves.
Mr. T. WILSON offered a few remarks, which were inaudible
from the loud cries of ,4 Question!" _

Sir F- EN A 'ICH BULL Would not then discuss the question,
Si many opportynitial would.present themselves for enquiring into
its details. He wished the Ministers to bear in mind that the duties
on Corn and Flour did not bear a relative proportion—it was worth
di tending to.
Mr. H. SUMNER wished to know what duties would be placed
en the Corn and Flour.

Mr. CA NNING answered, none higher than those under the Act.
Mr. HEATHCOTE did not wish for a division its the present
stage of the measure.
Sir R. HERON was for a division, and would divide the Hasse
as long as there was a second Member in it.
The Gallery was cleared for a division, after a few words from
Sir. R. WiLitatts and Sir T. Balsams, who were against it; but
no division took place, and the Resolution was agreed to.
On our readmission to the Gallery, we found Mr. Belau:
moving the recommittal of the Debtor and Creditor Arrangement
Uill, which was agreed to.
The Registration Alien Bill was read a third time, and passed.
The Yorkshire Election Bill was read a third time, and passed.
IRISH PRISONS' LAWS RILL.
Mr. S. RICE oSjectel to an encreased salary given to the In-
spector-General of Prisons, and moved an amendment, to reduce
the salary of 1,3001. to 1,0031. a year.
Mr. HUME supported the amendment.
Mr. GOULBURN considered the amount of salary given in
the Bill no more titan was absolutely necessary for the purpose of
having the duties imposed on the Inspector properly discharged.
The real salary of this office was not mote than ftool. a year. The
rest of the suns went to defray travelling and other ripeness.
The House then divided on the amendment—
For the amendment
Against it

Majority against the Amendment —2O
On our return to. the Gallery we found Mr. Haws objecting to
the principle of thq &M:3. It was a degradation to the Gentlemen
of Ireland to bayelqspectors of Prisons. The duty was performed
in England by country Gentlemen, and in Ireland also it belonged
to the same class of perscata Speaking with honest feeling,• be
considered the Bill a job.
blr. Sccre•ary PEEL said he bad feeling as honest as the Hon.
blentbsr, and he did not consider the Bill as containing any impro.
per provision. It was necessary to have respectable persons to ese-
• cute the say, which had always been discharged by Inspectors.
After a fesw observations from Mr. P, Gaa'sr, the Bill was road
a third time and passed.
The I Acensing of Ale Houses Bill wai read a second time and,
committed for Monday.
The other Orders of the Day were disposed of, and the House
adjourned at IL% s.r rase Tiv axe tieLocireo Msnday.
