STANpI NCI ORDERS.-11r. Serjeant OssLow
rose, pursuant to his notice, to more, that for the fu-
ture, it should be a standing order that llouge that
no llill regulating the conduct of trade or WAIIICAC-
tare should be read a first titer, tittles. it hail been
submitted to the consideration of a Select Committee
Ito had reported thereon. The

hurried through all their stares wi
beration, had eenvinced him of the
sent prarosition : that opinion, h.
confirmed by the decision of the Ch.
of Birmingham, oho hail presented
House in favour of the adoption _
he then introduced.
Mr. MastartELD thp•erated the adoption of any
measure which might have even Oi4 appearame, in
the present depressed state of the manufarturing in-
terests, of excluding theta froth applying to the Le-
gislature. It was a most unfortunate moment, when
relief was sought. to answer with exclusion. At all
events, be hoped it would have no retrospective °Pins-
Lion. Should hr hare the support of tieritlemen in
that House, it was his wish to meet the proposition
with the prevloue yncltion.
Mr. HAMM, °lnterred. that it hr thought the pro-1
posed regulation went to interfere or to deny the full-
est considetation to the petitions of that class of the
comunidity, he would most strrneonsly oppose it but
believing the object of the regulation was to procure
to such petitions a more considerable shire of drlitut-
ration—(Beir, heart from Mr. Serjeant Onslow)--s
and calculated to prevent that kind of legislation
which was too often resorted to on the spur of a tem-
porary distress, and which reroiled with aggravated
mischief on the persons in whose supposed interest it
was adcipted, he should give it his support.
Mi. Livirt.i+ux supported the motion. It was a
'strong peed of it. pripriety, when sucli.prectieal and
informed Men as composed the Chamber of Commerce
at Birmingham petitioned for its adoption.
Mr. Canever said, he uutierstood the Hon. and
Learned Oetitlemin (Onslow) to propose a new Stand-
lag Order. Now the Standing Orders of that House
were of the highest importance. Before a new one
was submitted, the %Hest consideration was neces-
sary. The Hod. and Learned tiehtletwan, i■ his opi-
nion, should have so ihaped his Punkin as to ask for
the previdsi appointment of a Select Comilittee, to
declare, by their rspbrt, 'Whether such a regulation
would be salutary or not.
After some further nbsertations from Mt. WI/81.ERN
And Lord ALTNORP, who recommended the appoint-
ment of a Select Cemmittee,
Mr. Serjeant Owat.ote, acquiescing in that recom-
mendation, withdrew the twiginal motion. He then
moved the appointment of a Nolen t onsmittec, which
was agreed to.

LAN

Mr. Humor observed, that the motion of the Hon.
llentleman was contrary to all sound and liberal views
of commercial policy, and that, instead of concealing
the specifications of patents, every possible facility
ought to be given to render them as public as possible.
