Last night the Bill for investing the Duke of Yt'it
with the care cf his MAJVITY'S Person, IVZS re
second time in the House cf Lords. We ate to t&
cleat that the Public generally are well satisfied
this sacred trust cannot be in better hands.

whole Army boars testimony to the impartial coolutt
of his, Royal llighness in the patronage conneetni
yith thathigh situation : so far, therefore, as Pera
nage is connected with the care of his Almcsrv's
Person, we may rest perfectly satisfied there via he
rno abuse. Of his filial affection, and the tenderam
.he has ever manifested towards his Royal Paitii,
there is but one opinion throughout the Kingdom.
The question :if the state of Convict Transports
came again before the House of Commons, and we
are glad it did, for certainly the first night's discus-
sion was calculated to excite very unfavourable im-
pressions. A prison ship of any kind—indeed the
best means that can be devised for the transpc:t cf
large bodies of men, even when not criminals, must,
in the very nature of things, be any thing but com-
fortable ; but it would be shocking to be obliged t 3
believe that unnecessary severity and cruelties were
added to the unavoidable sufferings which men bring
upon themselves by their own crimes.

Mr. GRENFELL moved fur various accounts relat-
ing to the B ink of England, with a view to briain;
before the House the profits of the Bank. The CUAN.
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed to the producti:a
of the accounts, as calculated to assist inquiry.

SIT ROBERT WILSON has fired off his first gun in
the House of Commons, on the Motion for a Ccm-
mittee of Supply. The occasion was ill-chosen, ani
therefore the Gallant and Honourable Member's fi:it
effort was not felicitous.

Sir Ctimurs WOLSELEY has addressed a Letter t()
E. BLouNr, President of the Agricultural Society of
Staffordshire, dated the sth instant, reprobating tiic
Agricultural Petition, which was then making
way through that county, and which he designates
" a destructive Monster."—As Ministers have w:aly
determined to strangle this Monster by a Veto, we
need not repeat the whole of Sir CHARLES'S arguments
against the Petition : but one part of his I.easonin;
demands attention, because it thews that ethers, be-
sides the oligarchy which he reprobate,, are impli-
cated in causing " the present miserable state ci die
labourer and mechanic." According to him, '.: tL:t
manufacturing districts, " the wage-, of lahutir arc
extremely unequal to the means if Kerr: 11;• the
common necessaries of life, that the wet knicn are in
a miserable and deplorable condition, literally bor-
dering on starvation :" to which Sir CHARLES a,!,ls,
" I understand also, from undoubted authority, that
the weekly earnings of.a Coventry riband weaver, iv
Full employ, do not exceed seven shilling:. ! !"
