HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY.
Ater an unsuccessful attempt by Lord INGeSTRE to
forward the grievances of Thomas Wood, the pro-
. rnplon Chronicle, relative to the
he debate on the Corn Impnrta-
The speakers were Lord Polling-
J. Trollope, Mr. Rashleigh, Mr.
r

School, t,

tion Bill was resu
ton, Mr. Plumptr

Shcv, and Lord M

Harris, Sir J. Ilanmer, Lord Ebrington, Mr. F. Baring,
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in its favour.
The contending parties occupied the old ground. Mi-
nisterial inconsistency, and the pressure of local burthens
on the agricultural interest, were again urged on the one
Land and Resin replied to on the othr.

Sir J. TROLLOPE appealed to the bishops. He did not
believe they would desert the working clergy, who would
be unahl, to live should this measure bee nme law.
Lord EBRINGTON, apropos of the question before the
house, dilated on the report of the commissioners for
amending the law of real property.
Mr. SHAW stoutly denied that the po'atoes in Ireland
were rotten, or that fever had increased there in conse-
quence of famine. The closing sentence of his speech was
much cheered. He said—" It (the measure) had not only
shaken ail public confidence in public men, hut the rami-
fications of its evils were absolutely untraceable. (Cheers.)
It had not only broken party ties and destroyed personal
friendships, hut, setting constituents against their repre-
sentatives, friend against friend, father against son, and
son against father,—(cheers)—it had convulsed all the re-
lations of social and domestic life. (Cheers ) They must
all participate in the evil, they would all share the sorrow,
but the consolation of himc•elf and those friends who sat
around him would lie, that they escaped the degradation."
The debate was adjourned until Thursday.
