In the House of Commons, last night, Mr. CHARLES
~aAsT's Motion for going into a Committee on the
Corn Laws was carried by a majority of 144. The Re.
solutions were opposed by Mr. CAECRATT, Mr. BARING,
and Mr. STANLEY, the I.ite Under• Secretary for the
Colonies. It is certainly to be regretted that a measure
which, according to Mr. GRANT himself, is not to be
approved of abstractedly, but to be considered tempo-
rary in reference to public opinion, should be substituted
for the more reasonable scale of Mr. CANNING), out of
apprehension of the decision of the House of Lords.
We have in vain sought for a reason for changing the
pivot, as it is called, from sixty shillings to sizty.four
Xiliings; and with regard to the duties to be imposed
before the price has reached the pivot,they seem rather
to attach odium to the Agricultural Interest, by offering
them protection when they cannot want it. Thereon.
not be a stronger proof of the futility of the fears of
Ithose who still dread large importations, than the fact
of the prise' at Dantzic, in 1827, being 225. Sd.

Angtunts of course to a prohibition. The same is. the
case with the corn of Hambargh, of St. retessburgb,
and dßotterdant, and indeed, of any port of Europe.
The public may however congratulate themselves at

the candiskadmissions of Ministers, that the Bill is not
the best in itself, btiethe best that tee,be ihrou3M
both Houses. A Committee has been named, on the
motion of Mr. WARIMRTON, to inquire into the meant
of procuring subjects for the students of. anatomy it'
this country,. There are great difficulties of feeling and
prejadiee on this subject 'td' be overcome; but it in
deemed bad polity to drive medical students abroad foe
the information necessary for their profession, and to
carry the respect for the dead to such an extent, as bids
fair to have a dangerous effect on the health and pee•
nervation of the living.
In the House of Lords, the Life Annuities Repeal
Bill, agreeably to the recommendation of the Finance
Committee, was read a second time, on the motion of
the Duke of WIELLINOTfIN.

morning was•ushered in with the ringing of bells, which
continued at intervals through the day. At noon the
Park and lowa guns were fired, and throughout
London and Westminster there was every demonstra..
tion of joy on the occasion. At St. James's Palace, neat

Thither the Nobility and Gentry hastened, with a
splendour that has not been witnessed for many years.
Great animation also prevailed throughout the West-end
Of the town; and the Parks, St. James's-street, and the
principal promenades, were densely crowded. The
Guard of Honour was furnished by the Grenadier and
the Third Regiments of Guards, and marched at 11
o'clock into the Courtyards of the Palace, with their
Bands in full State dress. The Life Guards furnished
the cavalry Guard of Honour, and their patrols in the
S:. James's Park. The police were steamed at all the
avenues, under the direction of Sir R. 13stinte, and the
chief officers of Bow•street, to prevent the confusion
occasioned by the pre►sure of so great a crowd. The ave-
nues leading to the State apartments were lined by the •

to the Palace through the Parks, and were received by
a Detachment of Guards. The other portion of the
company entered from Pall-mill. _ _ _

and pleasing sight, from the varied. elegance of their

The crowd was amazingly great. All the Churches

The Paris Papers of Monday inform us that the
report of the passage of the Danube by the Russians
wants confirmation; and, indeed, in the complicated
state of affairs in the East, the greater part of the '
tumours of this kind ate to be received with dis-
trust. We heir no more of the alleged. Declaration
of Neutrality by the Allied Powers, in case. of the
advances of Russia. It is not, however, an event so
improbable as the limes seems to think. it. If Russia
iseisisto in her hostile dispositions, on grounds which
the Allies cannot admit to be within the scope of the
Treaty of London, they may easily find reasons foe
non interference. We have some cause to believe an
inclination of this, kind exists *the Capinet; though:
