Sir JOHN NEWPORT gays notice, that unless the Irish

showers fat their neglect.
Mr. HUME, to prevent any mistake, formally postponed
his motion respecting the Ordnance Estimates till the 29th inst.
The Hon; Member at the same thise said, that he should, to-
morrow, glee wawa a motion respecting the Miscellaneous
Estimates.

Lord A. HAMILTON moved for certain Returns respect-
ing the reserve f Revenues in Scotland during the years 1816,
1917, 1818, and-1819, and an account of the number of pen-
sions granted Hereon.—Ordered.

AGRICULTURAL
Mr. JAMES said, that from the Petitions lately
rejected by the House, be was uncertain whether the
Petition which he held in his hand was such a one as
he ought to present. The Petition was respectably
signed by a number of the inhabitants of Liverpool.
It called the attention of Parliament to the great dis-
tress at present pressing so heavily on all classes of
agriculturists, and attributed this distress to exces-
sive taxation. Petitioners respectfully suggested to
the House whether it wis not fitter for Ministers to
call in the debts due to the State, and particularly
the loan of seventeen millions due from the Emperor
of Austria, rather than draw so largely upon the al-
ready exhausted resources of the State. In this sug-
gestion, and indeed the whole prayer of the Pen-
Don, he entirely concurred. He hoped the House
would enforce these demands, as well for the Welfare
.0f the State as to give a check to the flagrant at-
tempts now making by Austria against the inde-
pendence of nations. Unless Ministers took this
course, he would set them down as parties to the
Holy Alliance, and that they were giving counte-
nance to the crusade entered into against the liber-
ties of the people of the South of Europe. Having
on a former occasion given his opinions on this sub-
ject, he should now content himself with moving,
that the Petition do lie upon the table.
Mr. WROTTESLEY did not rise to oppose the
bringing up of the Petition, but to repel the Honour-
able Member's insinuation that this House was indis-
posed to receive Petitions from the People. He de-
nied that there was such a disposition in the House ;
and except in a very late case, where a Petition was
properly rejected, there was no other instance of a
Petition being rejected by the House.
General GASCOYNE thought that it was better
to refer this Petition to the Committee sitting up
stairs on Agriculture, than to let it lie on the table.
—lt was true that the Petition did not confine itself
exclusively to Agricultural Distress, but then it pro-
posed a means of relieving that distress ; and he was
sure sucka proposition would be very acceptable to
the Committee, in their confined state of giving
relief—( Laughter).
Mr. FYSCHE PALMER recommended that this
Petition should be printed also; this was not incon-
sistent with its being referred to the Committee.
Mr. CURWEN thanked the Petitioners for their
suggestion of a means to relieve the distress of the
farmer; but he was afraid, as the House had no
means of enforcing the demand against Austria, it
would not produce any good practical result.
General GASCOYNE wished not to be under-
stood as opposing the printing of the Petition, but
as be meant, to-morrow, to move that all Petitions on
the subject should be referred to the Committee on
Agricultural Distress, the motion which had just
now been made would but anticipate the effect of
that motion.—The Petition was then laid on the table,
and ordered to be printed.
POOR LAWS.
Mr. CHETWYND rose to call the attention of the
House to the present state of that part of the Poor
Laws which related to the passing of vagrant Pau-
pers, and the great and rapid increase of this public
burthen. The Hon. Member, adverting to what had
been said on the subject by Mr. Colquhoun, ob-
de/MMES.—Conscientious Persons summoned on served, that accurate writer, in 1796, stated, that
Juries at the approaching Assizes, who wish to un- the expense incurred on this head waslls,ooo ; in

in the narratives of the various Traveller,' who have visited this
extensive quarter of the globe. Besides the best works of known
and standard Travellers, the Author has introduced a consider-
able number, which, as they exist only in the less known Es.

nied with geographical and historical illustrations of the past
and present state of the Asiatic Continent.
