PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT.
lx THE LORDS, Lord limo gave notice of a motion
on the subject of the 6.rpenees tithe Ciril List. No-
thing else took place worthy of particular notice.
In TEE COMMONS se 1 matters of great public
interest were brought forward ; I. Core-Dealers' Pe-
tition; 2. Treatment of Mr. Hnat; 3. Irish Tithes ;

4. Postmaster-0 I ; 5. Public Accounts ; aid 6.
lodla Board.
_ _ _

1. Mr. Sixes present-ad a petition from Corn-Deal.
en et Hull, who complained as follows :—The Core
Bill of 1815 allowed them to sell foreign Corn in oar
Markets; whenever English Corn should be higher
than 10s. the bushel. They imported large quanti-
tin of Corn, previous to the Spring of 1819 when
Past's Bill was passed. That Bill, they state, raised
the value of money ; that is to say, it made the Beg.
liab bushel of wheat lower priced than it would have
been if the Bill had not been pused. They, therefore,
prayed to be permitted to sell their Coro which had
been imported under the A.ct of 1814 ; and upon the
natnral presumption that the value of money was not
to be changed by Act of Parliament. Nothing can be
more just than the prayer of this Petition ; and yet to
do this Act of justice to these parties would be to
bring down English wheat at once to about 3s. the
bushel !—API persons borrowing money ; all persons
baring shfck in trade; all the active capital and in-
dustry of the country ; the whole have suffered in the
same rely and from the same cause. The prayer of
the Petition, therefore. cannot be granted ; without
doing justice to all other sufferers from the same
cense. But, that which is wot►hy of oar attention
bete, is, that Mr. RICARDO supported this Petition ;
and said that the importers had experienced great in
jury in consequence of the rise in the value of money
occasioned by Past's Bill! Come, come, Mr. &-
CANDO! You know, Sir, that an Oracle told as ; or.
rather, told the" Collective Wisdom" (and the "Cols
lective Wisdom" believed the Oracle) that Poet's
Bill would raise the value of money, as compared
with the price of produce, only four and a half per
Cent. Therefore, these merchants (if that Oracle
spoke truth) cannot have suffered very much from Mr.
Peres Bill ; and, if the Oracle did not speak truth,
it were well if you would remonstrate with the Oracle.
2. The treatment of Mr. RCN/ was again brought
forward by Mr. Alderman WOOD, on presenting a
Petition from 8,000 persons in the town and neigh-
boarbood of Leeds, amongst which Petitioners was
the High Sheriff of the neighbouring county. The
public will recollect that the cridence about Hamster
Out has been a long time talked of, and a long time
laid upon the table of the House of Commons; hot
that It has sever yet bees printed. Strange thing,
this. Mr. Alderman WOOD, therefore. pressed the
getting of a part, at any rate, into the hands of Man-
lius. To this, objection was made by Mr. Wrras end
by the S , who stated the inconvenience of
delivering the evidence piecemeal. And why piece-
meal ? We will venture to say that there are plenty
of printers in London who would print the whole of
this evidence in twice eight and forty hours. Very
strange that this particular cluameot cannot Ise got
printed. If the. Stumm will condescend to put It

.into our bawds, we will have it eat is tatv ~,r,...

plebs* fin or six Ituairml, or a &mama. Pe0114161
which way (and very fairly, perhaps) be Oared. by
Mr. Loan HAXIARG.--Several Members took ocestaiso
to express their °pitiless that Mr. Hose had bees
unjustly treated; sad this was pertlealarly does by
Mr. Srawaser WORTLIIII. Mr. Sexes took wastes
to Observe, that he was sure " that even Mr deofnewit
" Baer, when be signed those rules,
" that they should apply but to felons." Whereupon,
Mr. S r OtreLow defended the character of
Mr. JUSTICR BIST, and defied any one to produce
" oat instance of ixhamartity or enmity is the whole
" lire of that Learned Judge." Mr. STU. "splinted,
and said, " that be bad toads no iosiaustion apical
•• the Learned Judge; that he respected the theme-
" tees of all the Judges ; that he had a friendship
" for some of them, and bad a veneration for all."
We suppose that this veneration is founded on Mr.
STRIB'S personal acquaintance with the venerable per-
sons in questios. Bet we asset protest against hold-
ing dodges its veneration merely because they ere
Judges 1 for that would lead es to venerate tbe me-
mory of these monsters of iniquity, Jarreatas and-
Senecas, and of that Jidge, who, in the reign of
WILLIAM TOG THIRD, hanged a Print, in London for
having a libel in his home. We protest against all
such sweeping veneration as this; and. if the conduct
of Judges, be sot freely canvassed In Parliament. we
must look upon, as a mere faree, that law vellieh says,
that Judges may be dismissed from their office in con-
segments of addresses to the iirso from the Houses of
Parliament. Still, however, we think the charge
ought to be direct, and that the only fair way of
attacking a corrupt, partial, mud or insolent, Judge.
is, by motion for an address to the. KING to dismiss
him ; and not by paltry indirect miens.
3. Irish Tithes were mentioned by Mr. Rica, upon
presenting a Petition floes twelve parishes is Ire-
land upon that subject. It seems, bower's; that
this Petition came from Lay and Clerical Prairie-
tors of Tithes! We have little opinion of any ems-
sore that could be agreeable to Cferfeelroprietorer
for our idea is a very considerable relllelias,46l#l
their present rereipts, a measure, whieb. 'eases
afraid, the Clerical Gentlemen event sot much relish.
However. as this 'ablest odveasees, we shall be elde
to discover the viewoystellit parties roseerned.

that, for this once, we agree with this-great philoess-'
pier; for, in the first place, we will lay it down as a'
position not to be disputed, that the souls of pa:4dr!
ionises are much more precious than any concerns at
Post Offices, or at the Ordnance, or at Boards of Coo.
trol. We stake another polities for granted, that the,
parsons of the Established Charch have the gseateit
possible regard for precious souls; thirdly, we meat)
suppose that they are the best jtdres of the way of 1
p ing those souls. Having settled these points,
we hare only to add.' that it ie asnotorious fact, that a
great number of these parsons perform the duties of
their offices without the possibility of being resident
with their flocks, seeing that many of them have two
or three flocks apiece ; and seeing that not a few of
then; are actually out of the kingdom. For these
reasons we think that Mr. CAUCRAFT must be wrong,
and that the Officers of the Post Office, the Ordnance,
the Board of Controul, and of many other depart-
ments, nay, perhaps, of all other diopartusents, can be
very well performed without personal attendance. The'
most material thing we think, is, the receiving of
the income; and as this is donetby tithe proctors, in
the one case, it can very well be done by a banker's
clerk in the other case. And this is all we have to
say upon this matter.

5. Puntac Acrovarre.—Mv. Mammy brought
forward a very curious exhibition of the great differ-
ence between the public accounts as stated in different
documents. and he moved fur a select Committee to
simplify the public accounts. After a very %me ex-
planation. pr attempt at explanation. the motto was
set aside by another from the treasury geovisiiree to
appoint a Committee to enquire into the causes of the
disagreement shown by Mr. 51 ! This wars
carious turn to `ire to the thing. As to simplifying
these accounts, we defy any halite being to do it.—
They annually occupy as much printed paper as
would fill a cut ; and to simplify them is utterly im-
possible.
6. INDIA BOARD..--Mr. CRIDIrIV, after a most
able exposure of the waste of piblic money on this
bench of officers, concluded with a motion fora Select
" Committee " to inquire what the duties of the Corn-
" miesioners of the Board of Control were, and by
whom they were performed." Time thing being a

said, was always the pretence; was always the args-
last. whenever Pfeffer* Vow imolai to be ever-
Sewed; this wu precisely the way is which at-
.=were began ups property ; this was the
in which the spirit of confiscation generally
ellieuneed ; sod he called upon the House to
'hat well to the consequences of yielding to such a
spirit :—So that, if we attempt to diminish the rate at
which placemeo. pensioners, sinecurists, grantees. and
all the whole race of tax esters are new taking away
the rent of the landlord, the capital of the farmer, the
merchant and the tradesmen, the wages of the la-
bourer and the artisan; in whatever degree we attempt
to diminish this rate of alienation, we are to be ae
cased of a design to overturn all property and to begin
a system of coafiscatioo :—No farther commentary is
necessary on this from us at present. The comment-
ary which time and events will make upon it, Mr.
CANNINQ will hear enough of though be should be at
twelvemonth's sail from England. Ti keep this
commentary from him, the winds must cease to blow
and the tides to roll.

We earnestly wish to call the attention of our read-
ers to the Resolutions passed at the Meeting of
Ltcaissso VICTUALLZRS held on the filth instant, to
take into consideration the case of Mr.Jswan Glens,
which will be found in another part of oar paper.—
This is a subject calculated to call forth the sympathy
of every honest British heart ; and we are sorry so
room is left us to offer some observations on it. But
we shall cheerfully take the first opportunity fur that
purpose.

Mr. F. Rontssore's proptvoition„ that n.ore imftwesere
(oar readers boom too well what inflageitre morass)
is now wanted, because the people are bate.r ilfurssed
than they were formerly, amounts to thi., that unrs is
a " uhochlae"„ as Lord Castlereagh calls it, which is
better calculated for an ienorani than fur an ea-
lightened people; a proposition, we think, rather at
variance with the sumertion so often made from the
bar, the bench, the pulpit and the throne, namely,
that this our " machine' is the "envy a surround-
" lag nations atodtlte admiration of the woeld".

It has been, with tunny persons (awl we confess our-
selves to be amongst them) matter of surprise, that
nothing hal. during this Session, yet been heard from
the lips of Mr. BAKING ! He was not Wont to be
niggardly of speech. Yet, we have seen the 5 Frei
cent. affair begun, sad almost ended, without hearing
the sound of that gentleman's voice. Is it shit lie is
wholly taken up with rural affairs? His domains ape
now, indeed, rather extensive g but, still, we *honkl
be sorry to see him wholly engaged in anemias to
them.
