"The Greek Government has oakum to me, after,
a complaint from the Island of lipessia respecting
the little schooner the Mars, carding four guns.—
This schooner was sunk, because ft was without re-
gular papers—because it had a quantity of muskets,
pistols, and sabres—and because there were found on
board loaves of sugar, and other goods, which evidently
came from the plunder of some vessels; but to provela
you that we only wish to destroy. piracy, and oblige
vessels illegally armed to receive orders from their own
Government, I order those men who have been attested
to be delivered up to the Deputation.
" It, is necessary that every Week mariner should
learn.by an example, since the warnings given for these
six. *l's past are useless, that they cannot embark at
their pleasure, and without risk, on board vessels ille-
gally equipped. " I have the honour, &c.

DARTMOUTH HARBOUR.
Lend EBRINGTON said, he held in, his hand a Pe-
tition to which he should request the particular atten-
tion of the House. It was twin the Merchants and
other inhabitants of Dartmouth against the.imptove-
ment of the Harbour Bill, which was now passing
through this House. If the Bill should uniortunately
pass into a law, it would increase the harbour fees, and
enlarge the number of officers, at the mete discretion
of the Mayor and Burgesses, and vtithsalaries of a very
large amount. He had often beard of Bills being
brought into this House, which were called se jobs," but
a more rank job than the present it had not fallen to
his lot to meet. Ij was so gross, indeed, that he was
sure it could never obtain the sanction of this House.
The Petitioners in conclusion prayed to he heatd by
Counsel against the Bill.

Published by Messrs. liatchard, 187, Piccadilly; and Messrs.

Sir JOSEPH YORKE was much obliged to the
Noble Lord for stating to the House the grossness of
this job, which would go to tax improperly the naviga-
tion of the country. The object of the Bill was to place
a miserable patronage at the sands of the Corporation;
and it it passed into a law, it vtould materially tend to
the injLry of the safe harbour of Dartmouth. People
who were already nearly pauperised by taxes should
not have additional burtliens thrown upon them.
Mr. ROBINSON did not wish to ssy anything dis-
respectful of the CI rporation of Dartmouth ; yet as it
was a very close Cot poration, he should watch its pro-
ceedings as he would those of any other Borough
similaily situatt d. This Petition related to the shipping
inteteit, and was worthy the attentive consideration of
the House.

WELCH JUDICATURE.

Sir HUTTON COOPER (Dartmouth) said, that as
one of the Representatives rf the Borough of Dart-
mouth, it was impossible for him to remain silent after
the violent attack which the Noble Lord (Ebrington)
had thought proper to make upon that Corporation,
calling the proposed Bill a notorious J b. Sir Hutton
did not pre.end to so extensive a knowledge in jobbing
is the Noble Lords for if the two Corporations where
he bad the honour to have a seat, iris. Dartmouth and
Bath,' were such utter strangers to jobbing,' his know;
ledge-Of those matters must of necessity be very limited.'
But be that as it may, he believed, upon his ;honour,
that a more just or equitable Bill was never brought
under the consideration of that House; for so far Tiom,
the account of monies proposed to be leived being kept
close, or only for the inspection of the Mearbent of the.
Corporation, They were to be always left open, and, in..;
spected by the Justices of the County at . the

Lord CAWDOR begged to inquire of the Noble
and Learned Lord upon the Woolsack, if it was.in-
tended to include the administration of justice in Wales
among the subjects to be referred to the Commission,
which it was understood was about to be appointed, to
inquire into the progress of a suit at law, pursuant to
the address of the other House of Parliament?
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the subject
eras side of great difficulty and perplexity, and had been
vepeatedly under the consideration of his Majesty's Go-
_Ornate:lt. The deliberations of Government were not
yet, however, so mature as to warrant him in giving an
answer to the question whether this part of the judica-
ture of, the country would be referred to the intended
Commission.
Loid CAWDOR said, that he thought it respectful
'to the House, after what had fallen from the Noble and
Learned Lord, to give notice of his intention to bring
the subject under their Lordship's consideration soon
after the holidays, it he should find that the final de-
termination of Government was to exclude it from the
inquiries of the Commissioners. He did not at present
know *bat would be the form of his motion.

POST MICE, IRELAND.
Lord DARNLEY, seeing a Noble Lord in his place,
who was at the head of a Commission to inquire into
the various Revenue Departments of Great Britain and
Irelind, and which had some time ago been engaged in
a laborious investigation into the Post Office in Ireland,
wished to know it there was any probability of an early
report, recommending alterations and improvements in
that department?
Lord WALLACE replied, that it was not intended to
make a separate Report upon the subject of the Irish Post
Office, tat a general Report would be made in a short
time as to t! .e state of this department in the three
Kingdoms. This Report would embrace every thing the
Commissioners had to recommend. He was not at all
surprised at the Noble Lord's question, as a delay had
occurred which appeared to require explanation, and
which he was happy to be afforded an opportunity of
explaining. The delay had arisen from particular cir-
cumstances. After they had completed their inquiry in
Ireland, they found that to enable them to make a satis-
factory Report, it was necessary that they should pre-
viously investigate the Post Office of Englard. Cir-
cumstances arose in the mean time which compel'ed
them to direct their attention to another department ;
this department occupied them much longer than had
been expected, and they had• presented five Reports upon
it. They were now engaged wpon the Post Office in
England, and he hoped that in a very few weeks he
should be enabled to present a Report. What recom-
mendations that Report would be likely to contain, it
might be inconvenient for him now to state, but he
begged to assure the Noble Lord that no time had been
or would be lost.

Sir IL. INGLIS presented a Petition from a Parish in Salop,
against the repeal of the Test Laws—Ordered to be primed.
Mr. Alderman WOOD moved for a Return of the number of
gallons of spirits consumed in England and Ireland for the last
three years, and the amount of duty paid thereon.—Ordered.

Mr.. FERGUSON presented a Petition from the Corporation
of Edinburgh, praying the repeal of the Test Laws.
Alr. PEN ISAR VKS presented a Petition from the Inhabitants
of liedruch, county of Cornwall, praying, in the event of the dis-
franchisement of I'enryn, that the right may be extended to the
neighbouring Hundreds.—Ordered to be laid on the table.
Sir It. FERGUSON presented a Petition from the Maltsters
of Dundee, praying the Repeal of the Malt Tax.—Ordered to
be printed.
Mr. DUN DAS presented a Petition from the Archdeaconry of
Exeter, against the Repeal of the Test Laws, and also a Petition
against any further concessions to the Catholics.—Ordered to be
printed.
Mr. BIRCH presented a Petition from the Maltsters of Not-
tingham, praying the Repeal of the Duty upon Malt.
Mr. DUG DALE presented a Petition .from the Surgeons of
Birmingham, praying that greater facilities may be afforded them
of obtaining subjects for dissection. "
Sir It. FERGUSON said, this subject was one of the highest
importance, and he begged the attention of the House to it.
Sir JOSE PH YOItKE was of oi inioni that if persons in articulo
mord: were allowed to dispose of their bodies, surgeons would not
be as inconvenienced as they now were. Many a pauper would be
glad to leave ten guineas to his widow, which hp could not now
legally do.
Mr. P. THOMPSON said, it was matter of notoriety that
subjects could be had in Paris for ten francs each—and that must,
of necessity, prove useful to the object of science.—The Petition
was ordered to be printed. •
On the motion of Mr. SYKES, the Corporate Regulation Bill
was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on
Monday next.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from Arbroath, praying the
Repeal of the Test Laws; and.also, that all elassesof his Majesty's
subjects should be eligible to any office in the State—no matter
what their religion might be.—Ordered to be printed.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from the Occupiers of Land
in Hereford, praying an alteration in the Game Laws. He con
curved with the prayer of the Petitioners, and hoped this Session
would not pass over without some alteration taking place.
Mr. HUME presented a Petition from Cornelius Griffin, a
Clergyman, who bad been eight years a Commissioner in North
America, stating that the grants of Parliament for-the support of
the Established Church in that country were not properly applied ;
and that the numbers of the Established Church were but one-
sixteenth of the population.
Mr. WILMOT-HORTUN said the estimates were before the
Finance Committee, who would, no doubt, inquire into the appli-
cation of the money.
Mr. HUME moved that the Petition be referred to the
Fl-
stance Committee; buton the suggestion of Mr. WILMOT•HOATON,
withdrew his motion.

Lord DARNLEY was thankful to the Noble Lord
Ifor the candid manner in which he had answered his
question. He was happy to hear that the subject of the
English and Gish Post Offices were to be blended in the
same Report, as that circumstance gave him reason to
hope that one of the recommendatitms would be to assi•
, milatc the two.

Lord WALLACE had every reason to believe that
the incorporation of the English and Irish Post Office
would be one of the recommendations of the Com-
missioners.

The Annual Duties and the Annual Indemnity Bills severally
went through a Committee, and were ordered to be read a third
time on Wednesday.
Mr. Itomuson presented an Account of the Receipt and Expen-
diture of the Trusters of the Shrewsbury and Holyhead Road,
from the sth of January, t 827, to the 6th of January, 1828.
Mr. lama presented the Annual Return of the Trade and
Ha•igation of the United Empire, prepared pursuant to Acts of
Parliament.
The House then Adjourned.

WINS ROOMS.

Mr. BERNAL presented a Peationfrom a ?fr. Hillary and se-
veral other persons, Venders of Wiwi, not being Tavern-keepers
or Victualkrs, complaining of the hardships of thtir situation, and
praying for the favourride consideration of their case. The penal-
ties to which they were liable upon information were highly detri-
mental to their interests. He saw no reason why the persons who
kept Wine Rooms should not be protected as watt as other classes
of the community. The old Police Act was a *eery harraseing
weapon in the hands of infante% and fe hoped the Chancellor 01

the Exchequer or thi Hon. Member for Oxford f ally- stcourt)
would take the subject into consideration.
Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the sdbo
ject had occupied his attention. . At present he was unable to wry
more oboist it.
..
Mr. ESTCOURT was aware of the importance of the subjects
is it affected the interests of a most respectable class of tavern.
keepers and others, whose property was put in jeopardy by the ex•
fisting laws. Ile thought that a Bill might be now introduce& to
provide a remedy in this case, as the general Bill to be committed
this day would not come into operation fur a considerable period.
Sir G. PHILLIP begged to ask the Hon. Member If he meant
to introduce a clause calling upon Magistrates, in the event of with-
holding a license, to state their reasons for so doing?
Mr. ESTCOURT replied, that at present the Bill contained as
such clause.
Mr. Alderman WOOD did not think the Petitioners had meet
ground of complaint. Mr. Hillary, and others situated like Mm,-
could take out a license, and then they would not incur the penal.
ties they now complained of.
Mr. Alderman THOMPSON said the house of Mr. Hillary
was very respectably conducted, and he would be glad to assist
him in receiving back the amount of the penalties he had incurred
without any blame being attributable to him.
The Petition was laid on the table.-
Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY gave notice, that on the 6th of
May be &aukd move fpr a copy of a Memorial presented to the
Treesutyliy Coseltry Butlers on the subject of the Eiramp'Duty on

any alterations in the present Mode of taking the Poll at Cities and
Borough.. The Hon. Gentleman said he agreed with the Peti-
tioners in their objection to any change.
Co'onel DAVIES said his Hon. Colleague, who now objected
to change, was the first who proposed in that Mom to make the
change contethplated in the Bill.
Mr. KEITH DOUGLAS presented a Petition from the Cor-
poration of Dumfries, for the repeal of the Teyt and Corporation

• • CORN RETURNS.
Mr: CURiFEIS, afier a :few Observations, 'kW& •
were for the stso'separt inaudible; noved for Returns of
all Foreign 'Corn 'atilt Maui imported' into the Isle of
Man, and the quantity exported' therefrom, from the
month of December, 1827, to the Ist of Ma ch, 1828.
Mr. CHARLES GRANT regretted that the Hon.
Gentleman had asked these questions before the
approaching discussion of the general subject, as
it was possible. that the Honitur.tble Member's state-
ment may create a feeling of anxiety ei.t of doors.
However, he would state, in a few words, how the
law stood with respect to the intercourse between
the Isle of Man and foreign countries. There was,:
no particular regulation for the Isle of Man, nor
r,
it 'comprehended in the Corn Laws till the passing',
of the 1s: and 2J George IV. Flour beimg the manu-i
Whole of that Island, was as sloth admissible into
England; but The Law he -bad just menticned not
prohibiting' it, it was allowed to.etoce in on the pay-
Ment of the 'neat 'duty. It' Was .intended, COra
Bill proposed last year, to include the Isle of Mos, but
at that was thrown out in the Upper House, the matter
tembeitiecl'as it stood before the passing of the Ist and
2d of George IV.' As the law now existed, Foreign
Corn Might End its way to the Isle of Man, and thence
into this•country ; but the quantity which had so found
its way herecould not form any ground for the slightest
appiehension. He knew it was said, that Corn was
exported. from Liverpool to the Isle of Man, and sent
back in the shape of Flour; but the whole quantity ex.
ported from June last to the commencement of Decem-
ber, only amounted to 4,518 quarters, and that im-
por ed '2,617 quarters. The whole extent of foreign wheat
imported into the I-le of Man, did not exceed 4,517
quarters for the same period. Now with respect to the
grain and flour imported from the hle of Man, he held
in his hand the Returns which he had to-day received,
and from them it appeared that from 1825 to 1826, the
quantity was 15 cwt. from 1826 to 1827, only 8 cwt.
and from January 1827 to January 1828, about 9 cwt.
—(Wear, hear.) This was the case, then, in the last
year, and how any alarm could have been excited by
it, he was totally at a loss to imagine. , The previous
omissions as to the Isle of Man would be rectified in
the forthcoming Corn Bill, and a more equitable
adjustment secured by it.
Mr. CURTEIS said, he only asked for the Returns
for the last few months, of which the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman had not said a syllable. It cculd not be denied,
that several seizures of flour had taken place within the
period far which lie asked the Returns.

- Mr. C. GRANT observed, that be knew nothing of
any such se;zures as the Hon. Member had alluded to.
He (Mr. Grant) had no objection to granting the lte•
!u• ns now called for.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL, after expressing his regret
that the consideration of the Corn Laws bad been de-
layed so long, said he was still more sorry that the
Right Hon. Gentleman's motion on the subject was
fixed on Friday next, the last day of public business
before the holidays, when many Gentlemen interested
in the question would be unavoidably abse..t. On this
ground he would a...k the Right Hon. Gentleman whe-
ther it would not be expedient to postpone the consi-
deration of it till 'after the holidays? the discussion of
such an important measure would be premature in the
absence of so many Gentlemen. He understood that
the object cf bringing forward the question on Friday
w.. s a wish cm the part of the Government to put the
public in possession of their intentions before the holi-
days.

,:_

Mr. GRANT lamented as much as any other Gen•
tleman the delay which had occurred in the introduction
of the question. In fact, he had fixed on Friday with-
out thinking of the probable absence of many Gentle-
men interested in the question, who might be expected
to take an active part in the discussion; nor had hearty
i
wish to bills it on n their absence. On this ground
he was not disinclined to postpone the consideration of •
the subject, but would bow to the decision of the Hon e.
Mr. C4LCRAFT would have no objection that LI e
subject should come before the House on Friday, if it
were possible to open such an interesting question with-
out following it up by a discussion ; but as he was sure
that the Right Honourable Gentleman's exposition
mast be followed by a ditcussittot l e thoubht it wouli
