HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

The Lord Chancellor communicated her Majesty's•
gracious answer to the address of their Lordships on the
speech from the Throne. It was in the following words
" I thank you for your loyal and dutiful address ; the
first object of my wishes is to'promote the welfare of my
people, and I rely with confidence on your assurances of
support in framing such measures as the interest of the
country may require."
The answer was entered on the journals of the House.
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in answer to some observa-
tions made by Lord Brougham, said that it was perfectly
true that the French Government had desired such modi-
fications of the treaty touching the right of search as
might make it more palatable to the French people with-
out impairing its efficacy. The French Minister was as
anxious to see an end put to the slave-trade as he (the
Earl of Aberdeen) or his noble and Learned friend could
be. (Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM wished a noble Duke (Richmond) to
postpone for a time his bill regulating horse racing.
The Bishop of LONDON expressed his opinion that the
bill would have the effect of encouraging betting on
races.
The Duke of RICHMOND said it would have an entire
oosite effect—it would altogether put an end to fraudu-
lentpp betting, and greatly reduce betting generally. Ile
bad no objection to postpone the bill for the present.
Lord CAMPBELL could scarcely give his support to a
bill which made betting recoverable at law.
Lord DENMAN moved that the bill be referred to a
committee.—Agreed to.
The Duke of atcHmoND subsequently moved the fol-
lowing as the select committee to consider the laws affect-
ing gaming, &c.. and to report thereon to the House :
The Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, the Duke of
Richmond, the Marquis of Normandy, the Earl of Cla-
rendon, Lord Foley, Lord Brougham, Lord Strafford,
Lord Monteagle, and Lord Campbell.
A conversation took place with resoect to the absence
of any Government measure to improve the sanatory con-
dition of the lower orders, after which their Lordships
adjourned.

IN LINCOLNSHIRE. NEAR TO BOSTON.

IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY
SUITED TO TRUSTEES, WHO WOULD IN-
VEST IN PERFECT SAFETY, PRODUCING
£2600 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE
TITHES, AND A FIRST-RATE TENANTRY.

WR.GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce
IVI that he is directed by the Devisee in Trust of
THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED,
to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, in the month
of April,
A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVESTMENT,
Freehold of inheritance, and uniting a infinity of sub-
stantial advantages—
FRITH'S BANK, d
EARL'S CROFT ESTATES
are situate within two short miles of

THE BOROUGH ioVirisrOF BOSTON ;
one of the best markets extant, surrounded by capital
roads, and approximating upon water carriage to all parts
of England. As it is intended to give a more comprehen-
sive review of this eligible property on Mr. Robins's
return from his survey, the present imperfect notice has
only for its object to direct the immediate attention of the
moneyed world to an investment which should not be lost
sight of, as it would require some ingenuity to discover
wherewithal a fault. The Land in this vicinity has, from
days of yore, been proverbial for its superior qurlity ; it
grows the best Wheat, Barley, and Oats, and is congenial
for Turnips and Green Crops. The Domain extends to
TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES,
IS ENTIRELY IN A RING FENCE,
BESIDES THE TITHES OF THE ESTATES.
The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing ;
and it may be well to remind those who were sceptical in
respect to the continuance of the corn-laws, that they
will now repose on a bed of roses. Sir Raert Peel has,
by his manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration in
favour of the corn-laws, quieted the apprehensions of all
those who desire to see the agricultural and the manufac-
turing interests go quietly in harness together, without
any undue partiality. The sun will now again illumine the
agricultural horizon, (too long clouded by uncertainty,)
and terra firma become the favourite, as opposed to
Three per Cents. at 98. It should have been observed
there are _ _

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF THE
BEST GRAZING AND MEADOW LAND
IN ENGLAND,
whereon the bullocks are speedily rendered fat for a
journey to Smithfield.

IMPORTANT TO LADIES.

KEARSLEY'S ORIGINAL WIDOW WELCH'S
FEMALE PILLS, so long and justly celebrated
for their peculiar virtues, are strongly recommended to
the notice of every lady, having obtained the sanction and
approbation of most gentlemen of the Medical Profession,
as a safe and valuable Medicine in effectually removing
obstructions, and relieving all other inconveniences to
which the female frame is liable, especially those which,
at an early period of life, frequently arise from want of
exercise and general debility of the system : they create an
appetite, correct indigestion, remove giddiness and nerv-
ous headache, and are eminently useful in windy disorders,
pains in the stomach, shortness of breath, and palpitation
of the heart : being perfectly innocent, may be used with
safety in all seasons and climates.
*** It is necessary, owing to the numerous imitations,
to inform the Public that KEA RSLEY'S is the only
ORIGINAL and GENUINE MEDICINE of this de-
scription ever made, and has ben prepared y the for
more than FIFTY YEARS !! Purchasers areb particum lrrly
requested to remark, that as a:testimony of authenticity,
each Bill of Directions contains an affidavit, and bears the
1 signature of " C. KEARSLEY," in writing, also en-
graved on the Government stamp, and each is wrapped in
white paper.

LONDON CORN-EXCHANGE, FEB. 3.

There was only a limited quantity of Wheat and Barley from
Essex and Suffolk this morning, but a fair supply of both these
articles was up from Kent, and there was a good show of Beans
and Peas from the latter and first mentioned counties. Several
vessels with Oats have arrived since last market day. principally,
however, from Ireland. The importations of foreign Grain
have been trifling, but 4800 barrels of Flour have cone in from
the United Staves. There has been many vicissitudes in the
weather since this day
se'nnight ; yesterday a heavy fall of
snow, thawing at the same time. but a return of frost this
morning. There was an improved demand for English Wheat,
and from the statement of ministers that no change in the laws
is contemplated, an advance of Is to 2s per qr. was established
on all line samples, and about Is per qr. on the secondary
descriptions.' From the same cause a similar addition was
asked for all free foreign Wheat, but the business transacted was
not extensive, more, however, from the firmness of sellers, than
from any want of buyers. Flour met a good demand ; prime
ex-ship, realised about is per sack more than last week. Good
malting Barley fully as dear, with a fair sale for such, and a
firm trade for all sorts. Fine Malt was held for rather more
money, and there was a moderate demand for the best qualities.
Beans met a steady sale, and were the turn dearer. Peas com-
mand Is per qr. above last Monday's currency. A tolerable
good business was transacted in Oats, and full prices were ob-
tained for all descriptions Tares were quite as dear. Linseed
and Rapeseed br, ught former rates. There have been good
arrivals of red Clover-seed from Prance, and the trade is slow,
without alteration in value.

Martin Chuzzlewit.

Poor Torn Pinch—a character most to our liking of any
introduced in this tale—occupies a considerable portion
of the present number. We have him now released from
his worship of Pecksniff, and about to begin a struggle
for subsistence in London. The Anglo-Bengalee Disin-
terested Loan Company promises, we suspect, to become
a dangerous affair for Mr. Jonas and the other honest
gentry engaged in it. Mr. Dickens is rather au fait to
the exposure of such concerns, and we should not die of
regret if he were some day to resolve upon depicting the
working of some similar bubbles which have been blown
within little more than thirty miles of our own town.

splendid period of the French empire.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, FEB. 7.
During the present week holders of English Wheat demanded
an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter, but millers were unwilling
to pay it, and few transactions are reported. Malting Barley in
request, and about is per qr. higher. Irish Oats held for 6d to

rise. Beans

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FEB, g.
A good extent of business has been done in Wheat at this
day's m:.rket, at an advance of Is to 28 per qr. The best sam-
ples of Barley support last week's prices, 1311:c secondary sorts
are dull, at a small decline. Oats must be, noted id per stone
dearer. Shelling in better demand, at an improvement of I s per
load. Beans fully support their value. Malt is iu good request
at an advance of is to 2s per load.

HULL CORN MARKET, FEB. 6.
We have had a fair extent of business passing in all descrip-
tions of Grain during tb2 past weck, at rather over previous
rates At this day's market our farmers were asking considera-
bly higher rates, owing in part to the decided declaration of Sir
Robert Pee, that he will not be a party to 'an alteration of the
present Cons Bill, and whicb appears to give ranch satisfaction
generally. The supply was pretty good, and the condition much
better than of late, and an advance of Is to 2s per quarter over
the currency of last week was obtained ; free Foreign Wheat
was held at higher prices, but the transactions were limited.
There is more inquiry for Wheat in bond, but we heard of no
sales today. Barley in short supply, and fully as dear. Beans
come sparingly to market, and obtain rather more money.
Oats fully support their price. Linseed firm. Linseed Cakes,
in consequence of the severe weather, are in demand at fully
our quotations. Rapeseed is rather dearer. Rape Cakes are
scarce. Bones are as dull as possible.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY.

The Lord Chancellor communicated her Majesty's
gracious answer to the address of their Lordships oir the
speech from the Throne. It was in the following words!
" I thank von for your lova! and dutiful address the
first object of my wishes is to promote the welfare of my
people, and I rely with confidence on your assurances of
support in framing such measures as the interest of the
country may require.'
The answer was entered on the journals of the House,,
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in answer to some obs,..„a.
tions made by Lord Brougham, said that it was •_,,ftectl
true that the French Government had desirecl. 6ZI; modi-
fications of the treaty touching the search as

The nuke of RMEMOND said it would have an entire
eprmite effect—it would altogether put an end to fraudn-
hnt betting, and greatly reduce betting generally. He
bad, no objection to postpone the bill for the present.
Lord CAMPBELL could scarcely give his support to a
bill which made betting recoverable at law.
Lord DENMAN moved that the bill be referred to a
Committee.—agreed to.
The Duke of llicamoNn subsequently moved the fol-
lowing as the select committee to consider the laws affect-
ing gaming, &c., and to report thereon to the House :
The Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, the Duke of
Richmond, the Marquis of Normandy, the Earl of Cla-
rendon, Lord Foley, Lord Brougham, Lord Strafford,
Lord Monteagle, and Lord Campbell.
A conversation took place with respect to the absence
of any Government measure to improve the sanatory con-
dition of the lower orders, after which their Lordships
adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

Sir J. GRAHAM moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the Factory Act. The right hon. baronet said the
material alterations which he wished to make were that
children between the ages of 8 and 13 should not be em-
ployed on any occasion more than six hours and a half
per day (hear); and that no female, whatever age above
13, should be employed more than 12 hours per day.
After a protracted discussion, leave was given to bring
in the bill.
The select committee on railways was appointed.
On the order for going into committee of supply,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that the people complained of
many grievances—monopolies in articles of food, the
monopoly of the Bank, of the East India Company, of
the Irish Church—heavy taxation—the Irish Arms Act—
the frequent refusals of the house to inquire into charges
against the government, the judges, and the parties dis-
persing public meetings—the amount of the standing
army and police—and the defective state of the repre-
sentation. When there were such grievances as these,
and when discontent was so widely extended by them, it
became necessary to inquire into the composition of the
House of Commons before that house proceeded to vote
the supplies. Ile now moved a resolution affirming the
necessity of an examination into the composition of the
house before the house should proceed to vote the sup-
plies.
Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion.

Sir R. PEEL gave credit to Mr. Crawford for his tem-
perate mode of stating his views, which, however, he
showed to be multifarious and impracticable. lie ex-
posed the disquisition of Mr. Williams upon the consti-
tution of parliament, observing that, if every man who
was taxed was entitled to vote, so was every woman and
every child. He really could not consent to vote that
this house should abdicate its functions, because some
petitions had been presented in which its composition
was impeached.
After some observations from Mr. HUME and Colonel
SIBTIIORP, the house divided—
For Mr. S. Crawford's amendment 22
Against 130-108

Mr.-BLEwirr
i said a few words, disclaiming any dis-
loyal intention n the question put by him on a former
night respecting the civil list.
The house then went into committee of supply, and at
half-past ten adjourned.
