FIRST FRUIT, ANT) TENTHS

Mr. BA INES, who had given notice for a select committee,
moved that the house resolve into committee " to take into con-
sideration the propriety of abolishing the first fruits of the
clergy of England and Wales, and the more effectual rating,
and the better collection of the tenths applicable to the main-
tenance of the clergy."
Several attempts were made to "count nut" the house; af-
ter which there was a division on the main question, which was
carried by 48 to 27, being a majority of twenty-one against the
ministers !

The house then resolved into the committee, pro forma, re-
potted progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Wednes-
Clay.
Some returns having been ordered, and bilk► forwarded a
stage, the house adjourned early.

BONDED CORN.

CoL SEA La moved the second reading of the Bonded Corn
Bill.
Ttio, Marquis of CH ANUOS opposed the bill, on the ground
that it would be highly injurious to the agriculturists of this
country., He had given the measure his most anxious attention,
and he was convinced it only held' out a boon to foreign coun-
tries at the expense of tba English farmer. (Hear, hear.) He
should, therefore, move that the bill be read a second time that
day six months. He was sure the agricultural interest, which
was so stiong- in that house, would not allow the bill to pass in-
to a law. It would be unnecessary to detain the house with
argument against the bill, as his sentiments wereso well known,
and had been so often empressed. (Hear.) He should, there-
fore. content himself with moving, as an amendment, that the
bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. WARBURTON contended that the bill would be beneficial
to the farmers, and nut injurious. It would give employment,
and the agriculturists would reap the advantage of it. . He con-
sidered the noble Marquis erroneous in the opinions he had
formed on the subject. .

Mr HEATIICOTE strongly opposed the bill. He was convin-
ced it would tend to fraud and evasion. (Hear, hear.) In tact,
it only an attempt to repeal the corn-lirw. (Hear, hear.) He
was Well acquainted with the agricultural interest, and he knew
the wishes and sentiments of that body were that they should
be left alone. (Hear, hear.) They did not wish, vrbe❑ they
were gradually returning to cone fort; fur parliament to interfere.
He therefore cordially supported the amendment of his noble

r.7rd Woustcv supported the bill. He did not think i
would act injuriously to the farmers, but on the contrary.
Sir 3:TvicHt.t, denied that the agriculturists were a selfish
body. and contented that the bill would be must unjust and pre-
judicial to the landed interest.
Ntr_ t3iiilTiEaroN said, he should support the bill, but he
trust:eit the lan.tlords would throw it out, as it would convince
the country of the animus by which they were governed.
Ht. P. Titomsow did not believe the house would reject the
billi, It wriS impossible that it could act injuriously to the agri-
cultural interest of this *country. ( Hear.)

RAILWAY FROM CARLISLE TO EDINBURGH AND

GLASGOW.

the committee appointed to obtain a survey of the country
from Carlisle to Edinburgh and Glasgow by Beattock, with the
view of ascertaining the practicability of a railway by the route,
have published a report from which we extract the following
passages :
By the Actual measurements, it appears that the distance from
Johthifon's Bridge to Edinburgh, according to the survey pow
made,,is 64 miles; and it being known that the distance from
thence to Carl are, by a line of very easy gradients, cannot
(supposing a taken by the thriving port and town of Annan)
exceed 35 eiriles—tiret -whole distance from Edinburgh to Carlisle
would be under WI-miles, or only about 7 miles farther than by
the shortest turnpike-road now existing. 'The distance from
Carlisle to Glasgow would also be under 100 miles.
In computing this line, therefore, with the one proposed by
Commook.and Kilmarnock, the committee beg to call the at-
tentiou'of the subscribers to the important fact, that in point of
distance (ruin Carlisle to Glasgow, it will be 23 to 30 miles
shAter, and this saving, they cannot doubt, will du a great
sisal more than counterbalance every disadvantage there may
be in the ascent of the Evan, as now reduced. And with regard
to Ediuburgb, it is obviously almost 70 miles shorter than by
any other projected line, frikm that city to Carlisle, and conse-
quently to Liverpool and Manchester, while by the Birmingham
railway to these towns it will afford the nearest possible cons-
runnicatiou with London.
The committee believe that the period is not now distant when
the stiltect of a general railway communication from England
to, both Edinburgh and Glasgow must engage the attention of
the public and legislature, and when that arrives, they have no
doubt it will be found that this is the only line whieh combines
all the advantages necessary to induce capitalists to embark in
such an undertaking.
Under this impression the committee earnestly recommend
the landed proprietofs of the counties of Edinburgh, Lanark,
Peebles,, Dumfries, and Cumberland, to co-operate in the pro-
motion of a measure, which, by opening up the central districts
t tjre south of Scotland, will increase their produce and value
te. an extent sir which"no estimate can now be former].—Carlisle
