In the House of Lords last night that humane
measure—the Bill for the Regulation of County Lunatic
Asylums, together with the Bill for regulating theme
And treatment of Insane Persons—was read a second
time, and referred to a Committee. The Penryn Dis-
franchisement Bill was proceeded with by examination
of new witnesses, which lasted till midnight.

In the House of Commons an Amendment to the
Corn Bill, of a different character from those lately
attempted, was made by Mr. Hume. The plan of tl,e
Honourable Member was a fixed duty on wheat of 15s.
per quarter, to be reduced one shilling each succeeding
year until it came to 10s. which was to be the peima-
nint duty. The Amendment was opposed by Govern-
ment, and rejected by a majority of 112. Many objec-
tions present themselves to a fixed duty upon an article
so continually fluctuating as corn. The variations of
the seasons—an unusual degree of speculation—tl.e
differences of the harvests on the Continent, and other
causes, tend to vary the prices very considerably, yet
Mr. Hume would wish to have the same duty of ten
shillings per quarter, whether English wheat fetched
fifty shillings or seventy shillings. The people would not
thank him for this in a year of scarcity, when, if this
scheme were adopted, a state of things app►oaching to
starvation must ensue. By the Resolutions proposed
by Government, wheat may be imported free of duty
at 725. per quarter—a price considered by many as
postponing free importation too far, but infinitely pre.
ferable to one that would prevent a free trade altogether.
A manufactured article may often be protected by a
fixed dirty, but in the case of Cain every possible rea.
son is against it.

The woolen manufacturers have taken alarm, and
1.01 without cause, at the drams making by some of
the country Ger.tlemen to raise the duty on foreign
wool. The Petition of the merchants of Lender, pre-
sented by Mr. WARD on Monday, stated the ruinous
consequences that mutt ensue to the trade, if the agri.
culturists should succeed in altering the views of
.Ministers on this subject. The inexpediency of making
any change in the duty is evident, if we consider
the fact that it would actually lasso the demand for
