PARLIAMENTARY COMMENTARY.
IN. THE 14014011.—Lord Kira wished to know whether
any thing effectual bail been done to prevent the forging I
of Rink of England Notes. Lord Liverpool answered
that the Royal Commission had produced a note which
they thought inimitable; but that it happened with this
as with every other note, that, is a short time, the person
produced an imitation that tould not be distingnished
from it!—So much for inimitable notes.—Lord fitNn
next asked why the principle of the Waterloo and Dead
Weight Stock Bill skin sot be carried further : and
proposed a clause to that effect, which produced a great
deal of laughter. Indeed this is a laughable affair from
the beginning.
iv THE COMMOHll.—Somebody presented a 'petition
from Sudbury against Slavery in the West Indies : it
wa• slid to be the petition of the Magistrates and Clergy.
Sir Isaac COFFIN said there was an easy remedy for the
eta ; namely, the Magistrates and Clergy of Sudbury
might buy op the slaves of the West India Planters! This
is a scheme which has certainly a good deal of novelty
to reco•nmend it ; but it would not do; because what
hive the Magistrates and Clergy to do with any
slaves that they may have at present ? and we can
assure Sir Isaac that the West India slaves must be a
great deal better fed than the labourers of England now
are. The Petition of Mr. GEORGE WHITE was present-
ed by Mr. Hume. It related to the dismissal of Mr.
WHITE, and to the conduct of the collectors of taxes in
the Kensington division. Mr. Ilcare moved for papers
. upon the subject ; which seems to be of very great in-
}crest. Mr. Hume mentioned that from the Returns
I yid on the table of the llouse, it would be found that
there were frauds in the Collection of the Land Tax, in
the Kensington Division and District alone, to the
satountof FIFTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED
AND FOURTEEN POUNDS. This is a monstrous
sum for ere district, and we shall endeavour to look a
little into it. Innumerable swarms live in this way out
of the estates and labour of the people. Mr. Home
stated that Mr, WHITE had been dismissed, because be
made a discoviry of these fronds. Not professedly; but
that this was the ease in reality. It is high thine, then,
that we look into this matter. There was a long debate
in the Commons upon a motion of Mr. MACDONALD, rela-
tive to the papers on the negotiation ; but. as the De-
bate was adjourned, we shall make no remark upon it uu•
til to-morrow.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S MOTION.
That this motion was treated in the manner that it
wa: who can be surprised, when we reflect on the speech
that preceded it. This speech contained, amongst other
curious things, an euloginm on the " integrity" of Sir
Jamas Lowriiza, the first Lord Lonsdale ! And, as if
this were not enough, this Lowther was quoted as an
authority in favour of Reform! Those who know any
thing, must know what sort of feelings this was calcu-
lated to excite in men of sense. This " Lord John "
has now two feathers in his cap; the eulogist of Sir
James Lowther, and the liberator of Loper. The Lord
John did not quote the " authority " of Lopez in fa-
vour of Reform; and yet, surely, be might have done
it! Lopez has a twat practical knowledge of the sub-
ject. VIE Yorkshire people will keep their petitions at
home another time, if this is.the way in which they are
